But idk if you know this but AT&T now as unlimited mobile to mobile on any carrier so I switched my 900
Minute plan from 900 to 450 a month.. Which I really don't use either since all I do is text my life away!! But yeah any who this change is saving me about $30 a month now..
You should look into it if you havnt already..
Good point about bandwidth Mes. Realize though that T-Mobile is at HSPA+ right now with no intensions or plans to go to LTE due to the fact that they have the smallest slice of bandwidth of any US carrier and couldn't handle the throughput of real 4G if it was given to them for free. Unless the governments opens up more bandwidth T-Mobile is as far as they will ever go with technology and is better off being merged.
Spectrum and bandwidth are directly related. You can think about the amount of Spectrum you have to be 100% of your bandwidth which as you said can go up or down on an individual basis depending on signal strength and tower density. At the end of the day though the carrier with the most spectrum Hz can handle more bits and bytes through their system with a larger maximum overall bandwidth for all users combine. T-Mobile doesn't have a big enough slice of the pie to give people 44Mbs on their devices.
Mobile bandwidth to tower bandwidth is wireless. Tower bandwidth to Internet is via landline. More towers increase available mobile to tower bandwidth. More towers slices the pie into smaller chunks and increases overall mobile to tower bandwidth. Tower to Internet is unlimited. If I'm wrong ... What am I missing?
I'm speaking strictly wireless. (phone to tower... once it hits the tower it's land line and virtually unlimited) Each phone on a carrier operates within a certain radio frequency range... AT&T, Verizon and Sprint each have a lot more spectrum range to offer their handsets. Think about 100,000 phones on AT&T each on full blown LTE all downloading at full capacity off the same tower (or sets of towers).... AT&T has more much more spectrum and thus more radio channels to route this data than T-Mobile would in the same situation.
I can go for that. So we're both right.
More spectrum increases bandwidth. More towers also increases bandwidth.
Bandwidth :: having different meanings - spectrum .vs. user data
IE: All else being the same, within a given area more towers will support more uses at the same data rate.
I don't get it!!! with all of these android phones out there, these companies have no problem offering unlimiated data plans but as soon as iphone is introduced, then all bets are off.....WHY? are you telling me that android users don't surf the net as much as iphone users? very....very...strange!!!!! but I knew it!! at least Sprint aren't screwing over new customer with the bait and switch like Verizon did. I guess I'll stick with my t-mobile after all......and the iphone curse continues!!!!! in the future when the iphone hits t-mobile, you can be sure that all of that unlimited crap is going out the window. If I was an android phone user and had true unlimited data plan, I would be pissed at apple like there's no tomorrow. Iphone is truly ruining it for android users.
iPhone ruining it for android users? Let's not forget that without iPhone, there would be no such thing as android...
And yes, iOS users DO surf the web A LOT more than android users. But I agree with i.Annie, I think it is the data hogs that either get greedy, or use the iPhone as their home ISP. Not that I am completely against that, but wireless companies just can't handle the crazy amount of data that your Cable/DSL connection can. I have no issue with them limiting data.
The iPhone is MOBILE WEB. not a personal ISP.
I am so sick of and frustrated with these companies... nothing like sticking it up our you know whats?
Just my theory. It's silly how each company just completely starts killing services and plans upon the arrival of the iPhone lol.

The winning tradition was never stronger in the 1940s as quarterback Sid Luckman led the Chicago Bears to a string of four NFL Championships, cementing their legacy as a true dynasty. It was during these dominant years that the Bears became known as the "Monsters of the Midway". The "World Champions" logo first emerged in the 1950s and then again to commemorate the 1963 Championship.

Déjà Vu: FRC Rehashes Same Arguments Against Boy Scouts That It Used Against DADT Repeal
The Family Research Council (FRC) has been one of the leading voices in the media condemning the effort to repeal the Boy Scouts' ban on openly gay members. FRC's talking points, however, are the same ones the organization used to lobby against the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy - all of which turned out to be completely baseless.
Since news broke that the Boy Scouts would be reconsidering their ban on openly gay members, FRC has been making the rounds [1] on mainstream media outlets warning that lifting the ban would heighten incidences of sexual abuse and undermine the organization's retention.
If FRC's talking points sound familiar, it's because they're carbon copies of the (thoroughly disproven [2]) arguments the group used while lobbying against the repeal of the military's ban on openly gay service members.
"Gays Will Increase The Rate Of Sexual Assault"
FRC on the Boy Scouts' ban [3]:
So what exactly is the incentive?... Is it safety? Because unless something changed in the last seven months, the Scouts are still dealing with the fallout of more than 2,000 cases of child molestation with the current policy in place! Can they honestly tell parents that entrusting little boys to men with same-sex attractions is somehow going to reduce the incidence of child sexual abuse?
FRC on DADT repeal [4]:
The military already has a serious problem with sexual assault by homosexuals. If the current law against homosexuality in the military is overturned, the problem of same-sex sexual assault in the military is sure to increase.
"Gays Will Undermine Troop/Unit Cohesion"
FRC on the Boy Scouts' ban [5]:
This is not just about scout leaders. It would be about scouts that are attracted to people of the same-sex. Is that right, for Boy Scouts who are out wanting to learn the basic tenets of scouting to have to worry about whether or not the boy in the tent with them is attracted to them? Is that right?
FRC on DADT repeal [6]:
Sexual attraction among members of the same sex -- living, exercising, fighting and training alongside one another in the closest of quarters -- could devastate morale, foster heightened interpersonal tension and lead to division among those who, more than virtually any other group in society, need to act as one.
"Gays Will Undermine Recruitment/Retention"
FRC on the Boy Scouts' ban [7]:
While some people may disagree with the view that values, ethics, or morals require abstinence from homosexual conduct, it is hardly unusual that parents and leaders of Boy Scouts believe this. In fact, it remains a majority viewpoint even in the general public... Parents, Scouts, and leaders are likely to abandon the Boy Scouts of America in droves if the organization abandons them.
FRC on DADT repeal [8]:
Repeal the homosexual ban, and there will be some candidates, with the encouragement of significant others like parents, who will remove themselves from the military's pool of eligible candidates. Conversely, there is no evidence qualified homosexuals - who make up barely two percent of the American public - will flood into the military to make up any shortfall.
In the case of DADT, not a single one of FRC's doomsday predictions turned out to be anything more than baseless fear mongering [2] - motivated by the group's extreme anti-gay animus [9]. FRC demonstrated that, when it comes to serious policy analysis, it doesn't deserve to be taken seriously [10].
So what's changed?
Now that the Boy Scouts' final decision on its gay ban has been postponed until May, it's likely that media outlets will get another opportunity to cover the controversy. When they do, they should ask how groups like FRC have any credibility when it comes to predicting the consequences of repealing the ban.

Pycnogenol, an extract of pine bark, helped diabetics control blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and leg ulcers, and reduced ankle swelling in those with high blood pressure, in three new studies.
In a cardiovascular disease risk factor study, 48 type 2 diabetics, who were taking medication for mild to moderate high blood pressure, also took 125 mg of Pycnogenol per day or a placebo. After 12 weeks, 58 percent of those who had taken Pycnogenol had blood pressure under control and had cut blood pressure medication by 50 percent. The Pycnogenol group also saw LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, decline by 12.7 mg per deciliter of blood (mg/dL), while the placebo group did not improve. Doctors also measured blood sugar on an empty stomach, which declined by 23.7 mg/dL in the Pycnogenol group and by 5.7 mg/dL for placebo.
In a leg ulcer study, researchers divided 30 diabetics into four groups that took Pycnogenol, 1) orally and applied topically to the ulcers, 2) orally only, 3) topically only, or 4) used a standard disinfectant topically only. After six weeks, the ulcers had completely healed in 89 percent of the oral-topical Pycnogenol group, in 85 percent of the oral-only group, in 84 percent of the topical-only group and in 61 percent of those who had used the standard disinfectant. Doctors concluded that combining Pycnogenol orally and topically may be a new treatment for diabetic ulcers and that applying Pycnogenol topically speeds ulcer healing.
In a high blood pressure study, 53 participants whose ankles had swollen after taking blood pressure medication took 50 mg of Pycnogenol three times per day, or a placebo. After eight weeks, those who had taken Pycnogenol had 35 percent less ankle swelling, while the placebo group had not improved.

Phil Everly remembered at Grammy Awards
Listen to The Everly Brothers on iHeartRadio
The late Phil Everly is among the stars who've passed away over the last 12 months who was remembered at the Grammy Awards.
Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and country singer Miranda Lambert paid tribute to him during the CBS ceremony with a performance of The Everly Brothers' classic, "When Will I Be Loved."
Just a couple of months ago Armstrong teamed up with Norah Jones to remake The Everly Brothers' second album, Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, calling their version Foreverly.
Another late rock legend was also acknowledged during the ceremony. As part of the introduction of Metallica's performance, 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto said a few words in honor of the late Lou Reed.

BELLEVUE — Washington Square has taken a prominent place on the city's skyline, and many people have bought one of the community's 377 condominiums, seeking the high-rise lifestyle it offers.
But the condo option is not for all homebuyers.
"As empty nesters, we were looking for an opportunity to downsize and upscale at the same time," says Scott Ferguson, a retired Microsoft employee from Woodinville, who purchased one of the 26 townhomes that are also among the living options at Washington Square. "We thought we might give urban life a try for the first time in our lives."
For Ferguson, maintaining the space and privacy of a traditional suburban home was a must — a challenge for homebuyers eager to move to a densely populated, vertically expanding neighborhood such as downtown Bellevue.
Washington Square is the only luxury high-rise project in downtown Bellevue to offer multilevel, street-entrance townhomes with the amenities and convenience of a condominium tower. Each townhome includes a private two-car garage with extra storage, a personal garage-to-residence elevator and garden patios for added outdoor living space.
"After seeing [the private garages and personal elevators] and the quality of the townhomes, we knew where we would end up," says Ferguson's agent, Mike Sampson, of John L. Scott Bellevue.
Townhomes range in size from 1,700 to more than 3,400 square feet. They include private second-story balconies, Viking kitchen appliances, walk-in master closets and gas fireplaces.
"Townhomes at Washington Square offer a unique opportunity for those who want to downsize from a large single-family home," says Mike Nielson, chief operating officer of Washington Square. "The extra square footage of a townhome makes for a nice transition."
Ferguson says keeping the design and individuality of a traditional home while gaining the convenience and easy upkeep of condo living made for an appealing option.
"Things like [Washington Square's] common amenities and doing away with yard maintenance were also positive factors," he says.
At Washington Square, condo and townhome owners have access to the exclusive resident fitness center, spa, massage and stretching rooms, hotel-style lobbies and 24-hour concierge or night doorman services. Building and ground maintenance are taken care of by the community's homeowners' association.
Located in the heart of downtown Bellevue, Washington Square is a couple of blocks away from destinations such as Bellevue Square, Lincoln Square, the Bellevue Arts Museum, several corporate headquarters and Microsoft offices.
"Townhome living provides the conveniences and amenities of living in a downtown environment surrounded by shops and restaurants," says Doug Sonnenberg, a sales executive at Washington Square. "Bellevue has highly rated schools and is recognized regionally as a safe environment, which makes it very appealing to families."
"We looked at many different condo options in and around Bellevue," Ferguson says. "The townhomes at Washington Square offered us the unique combination of the spacious feel of a traditional home with the location and ambience that is intimately Bellevue."
Washington Square is nearly 70 percent sold. The inventory includes many of the most-sought-after floor plans among the townhomes, including three-bedroom floor plans.

As more people are grasping the need to implement green decisions into their everyday lives, we are seeing a definite surge in natural and organic products. From electronics and appliances to household cleaners, fashion and cosmetics, brands all over the world are responding to this accelerating demand. Here are some of the most impressive players in the arena of natural, organic health and beauty:
The Hain-Celestial Group Shoppers who want to buy natural health and beauty products that are free from animal-derived ingredients, and that are not tested on animals, should consider United States brands such as Zia Natural Skin Care and Jason Natural Products. Both these brands come under the Hain-Celestial Group. Boasting both a recycling symbol and a natural ingredients logo, products from Zia and Jason are favorites with consumers who want to purchase cruelty-free beauty items that are responsibly developed, manufactured and packaged.
Sabon The company that has maintained impeccable quality standards since opening the doors to its first store in Tel Aviv in 1991, has recently been offered the ECOCERT® seal of approval for its new, fine organic skin care line. ECOCERT®, the French institute and organic certifying agency, has established that Sabon's organic line of products meets incredibly strict organic standards. There is an organic day cream, face serum, eye lifting serum, hand cream, foot cream, butter cream, body scrub and olive oil soap available from Sabon and they each come full with the purest of medicinal plants, natural oils and other essential nutrients. Not only does Sabon source, blend, manufacture and package their products in environmentally responsible ways, the company is also known for a generous and kind policy all around. They even help their consumers be responsible - rumor has it its New York City stores will take the recyclable glass jars off the hands of consumers that don't have access to their own recycling facilities.
Korres With roots in the first homeopathic pharmacy in Greece, this brand sells its natural products in specialty stores and boutiques around the United States and in shops and pharmacies around the world. While some consumers are confused by the company's pharmacy past, those who research and learn soon discover this is a nice, natural line of quality products.
Waleda For an 85-year old, this company is incredibly vital and energetic. The Swiss organic and biodynamic body care products of Waleda are BDHI certified which means they abide by a set of European rules on organic development, manufacturing and distribution. Creamy body washes with Lavender, body scrubs with birch and other natural products make up their collection of organic little luxuries.
Aubrey Organics Fragrance is not to be forgotten when discussing health and beauty companies going green. It is hard to find pure, organic fragrances still but Aubrey Organics does have a line of natural fragrances, one collection for men and one for women ¬- and for that they deserve some praise. From Spring Floral to Ocean Waters, their scents may not sound too original, but they sure are organic.
All natural and organic segments in health, beauty and cosmetics are growing as the result of an increasing organic awareness. If we all take the time to learn about the brands out there that are making an effort to bring us new, better products we could help strengthen our own health as well as the health of our planet.

Reality TV can apparently wait.
CBS has just announced that Olympic hottie Ryan Lochte, who has been talking about Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor, will make his first TV series appearance in an episode of 90210.
Fresh off of his five medal wins in London, Lochte will make a cameo as a guest at a resort where Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) and Max (Josh Zuckerman) are staying to "strengthen their relationship."
It sounds like even though there's a resort involved in the storyline, we won't be seeing Lochte doing any swimming.
"When we found out Ryan Lochte was going to be in town and might appear on 90210, we felt like we'd won a gold medal!" executive producers Patti Carr and Lara Olsen said in the announcement. "We only wish the episode was a surf event so we could have gotten him in the water, but he deserves a little rest on dry land."
Take note now: The episode of 90210 will air Oct. 29 (8 p.m. ET/PT) on the CW.

Hey all, I just installed BT 5R2 64bit as a VM on a ProLiant server and I was wondering if I need to install VMware tools. I don't see any stability problems and I don't have a problem moving my cursor from the console to my workstation's desktop. So, unless there's a compelling reason I'm unaware of I'm going to pass on installing VMware tools.

Netflix in Wine app
A (Windows-based) Netflix app (32-bit version) has been modified and bundled to work in the Wine environment. It is available as a package from a private (non-approved) repository here.
- To run the app will require a 32-bit operating system, which on a 64-bit system might require installing ia32-libs (and/or ia32-libs-multiarch):
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch ia32-libs
- For help with installing ia32-libs-multiarch (ia32-libs), see this section.
- Some dependencies require that the "multiverse" repositories be enabled. This can be done through your package manager (e.g. Synaptic Package Manager or Muon Package Manager). For example, in Kubuntu:
- Menu -> System -> Muon Package Manager -> Settings -> Configure Software Sources -> Kubuntu Software -> Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse) (ticked) -> Close
- Then install the Netflix-desktop:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
- Correct any package installation errors:
sudo apt-get install -f sudo dpkg --configure -a
- The package installs the Microsoft core fonts (ttf-mscorefonts-installer). During this part of the installation a prompt to accept the Microsoft EULA will appear. Use the "TAB" key to maneuver to the "Ok" button and then press "Enter" to accept. The installation should then continue to completion.
- The package creates a menu item for the Netflix Desktop, or the app can be started from a terminal with a command. (I start it the first time from the command-line so I can watch the completion of the final installation steps, which occurs with the initial run.):
- The Netflix app starts in full screen mode. You can exit out of the app completely by pressing ALT+F4 or by using the pop-up "X." You can also press F11 to exit out of full screen mode.
- From time to time the Netflix app (in Windows) is significantly updated. On two occasions I have needed to uninstall the Netflix-desktop package completely, obtain the newest package version from ehoover's repository, and re-install it.
- My personal preference was to create and dedicate a new partition for the Netflix installation only. I installed a new 32-bit version of (K)Ubuntu into this partition and then installed the Netflix / modified Wine bundle in this new partition's OS. In total, about 3.75 Gb of space was used for this minimum combination. I made the entire partition 10 Gb (in order to allow for caching and other temp data that might be required). This barebones setup plays Netflix quite nicely. Netflix can then be made to start automatically at bootup of this partition's OS by adding the netflix-desktop to the Kubuntu autostart menu:
- Settings -> System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart ->
- -> Add Program -> Multimedia -> Netflix Desktop
- Settings -> System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart ->
- I also turn off the screensaver and prevent screen-dimming:
- Menu -> Settings -> System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Screen Saver
- ->Start automatically after... (unticked) -> Apply
- Menu -> Settings -> System Settings -> Power Management -> Energy Saving Settings
- -> Dim Display (unticked) -> Screen Energy Saving (unticked) -> Apply
- Menu -> Settings -> System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Screen Saver
- Note: I currently have Netflix-desktop running on a a 32-bit Precise Pangolin installation (easiest and fastest), a 64-bit Precise Pangolin installation (difficult to install), and a 32-bit Kubuntu Trusty Tahr installation (acceptable). On two older systems (one with Intel graphics and one with nVidia graphics), Silverlight in Netflix-desktop will not play (though it plays under Windows on the same machines).
- On some of my systems, installing a full Mono setup (sudo apt-get install mono-complete) worked better prior to installing the Netflix-desktop. After doing this, I then answered "No" whenever the Netflix-desktop installer prompted me to install mono.
- For both updates and troubleshooting, the following steps also seemed to be necessary for me. See this discussion.
- Remove the netflix-desktop and the wine-browser settings folder, reinstall the netflix-desktop, then restart netflix-desktop in order to complete the reinstallation:
sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop rm -rf ~/.wine-browser/ sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop netflix-desktop
Installing Netflix for multiple users
- I successfully installed Netflix-desktop under multiple user profiles. To do so, I installed Mono systemwide first (from the primary adminstrative user's account):
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
- During the Netflix-desktop installation process, I temporarily made each user an "Administrator" (i.e. gave them administrator privileges):
- Settings -> System Settings -> User Manager -> user -> Administrator (ticked)
- I then used the "reinstallation" steps for Netflix-desktop while logged into that user's profile:
sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop rm -rf ~/.wine-browser/ sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop netflix-desktop
- Because Mono was already installed, I then answered "No" whenever the Netflix-desktop installer prompted me to install mono.
- After ensuring that the Netflix-desktop functioned correctly, I revoked the administrator privileges for those accounts I no longer wished to have them.
- Settings -> System Settings -> User Manager -> user -> Administrator (unticked)
- Once properly installed the Netflix-desktop worked without problems whether the user was an administrator or not.
Playing Netflix through an HDMI connection
- Many of my computers have an HDMI output and I like to stream Netflix to the television using an HDMI cable. This works nicely once the necessary outputs are configured.
- Install PAVUControl:
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
- With the HDMI cable plugged into the computer and the TV powered on, allow HDMI output from Pulse Audio:
- PulseAudio Volume Control -> Configuration -> Profile: Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output
- For the video, choose the appropriate monitor settings to play through HDMI (while the HDMI cable is plugged into the computer and the TV powered on):
- Settings -> System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> HDMI -> Apply
- Note: It may be necessary to logout then login again for the settings to take effect.
- Note: For my system with an nVidia graphics card and proprietary driver, the HDMI video display output is chosen through the nVidia Settings utility.
- After configuring the outputs, start Netflix-desktop and it will play through HDMI.
- Troubleshooting: Sometimes the cable must be unplugged and replugged (and the TV powered on) for the system to recognise the HDMI output. On some systems the cable must be plugged in (and the TV powered on) at boot/login in order for the HDMI output to be recognised properly.
Netflix through the Chrome browser
- Netflix plays through recent versions of the Google Chrome browser (but not Chromium). This is because Chrome (but not Chromium) has the Widevine CDM and PepperFlash modules included, required to play HTML5 with digital rights management. (I tested this with Google Chrome v.39 and greater and have had no problems with either Netflix or Google Casting (for Chromecast) with this version.)
- Verify that the required Widevine and Pepper Flash (PPAPI) modules are installed in your version of Chrome.
- Google Chrome -> Address bar: chrome://plugins
- Both the required modules should be visible:
- Widevine Content Decryption Module
- Adobe Flash Player Version
- This should be a PPAPI Version 11.7 or greater (mine is Version 14.0)
- Both the required modules should be visible:
- According to this thread, your libnss3/libnss3-ld libraries must be at least 3.16.2 (to resolve error M7063-1913). This version is in the Utopic repositories.
- Temporarily install the Utopic repositories, install/update the required modules, then uninstall the Utopic repositories (so that they do not interfere with your current repositories).
- Alternatively, download and install libnss3 and libnss3-1d manually from the Utopic repositories.
- Note: As of November 2014 the required updates are in Precise (and subsequent versions, including Trusty) backport repositories.
- Navigate to Netflix and test the setup.
- Some users change their preferred streaming to HTML5 within the Netflix settings, but others indicate that this isn't necessary.
- Netflix -> Your account -> Playback settings -> Preferences: Prefer HTML5 player instead of Silverlight (ticked)
- The Widevine Media Optimizer modules supplied by Google are for Windows and Mac OS and do not work in Linux (outside of Wine). The Widevine modules of the Pipelight project do not work with either the Chrome or Chromium browsers (for me). Pipelight is not necessary (or advised) for this method.

BRONSON –When most people open a bill and see that the charges are alarmingly high, they usually get on the phone and argue their case.
Some might get an adjustment, while some might get stuck paying the whole enchilada.
When the Levy County Sheriff's Department received a monthly water/sewer bill of $10,700 from the Town of Bronson for county jail usage, Major Mike Johnson's jaw dropped.
The bill is usually half that amount.

Aldi as another great store to save. Many of the items you will find are store brand, but they are backed with a 100% guarantee. The quality is just as good as other store brands, and even some name brands!
If you are new to Aldi, you can read my Aldi Store Shopping Tips so you know why a quarter and your own grocery bags are imperative to shop there!
Here are a few of the great deals advertised this week at Aldi:
Remember, you cannot use coupons at Aldi. In my opinion, the store brand items are of high quality so you can save without cutting coupons! I typically never purchase name-brand products there (on discount) because you can usually get those cheaper at the larger grocery stores.
Do you see anything else? Please leave comments if there is something else you would like to share. I always appreciate hearing from you!

Comedian Tracy Morgan Transferred To Rehab Facility
A spokesperson for actor/comedian Tracy Morgan says he has been moved from the hospital to a New Jersey rehabilitation facility. Lewis Kay says Morgan has a long way to go, but has been showing signs of improvement after suffering severe injuries, including broken ribs and a broken leg. Morgan was injured after the limousine van he was riding in on June 7th on the New Jersey Turnpike, was hit by a truck. One person died, two others were seriously injured.
The NTSB continues to investigate the cause of the crash. A recent report suggests the truck driver was speeding, and had logged 13 hours of work before the crash occurred.

text: One thing I really dislike is when very attractive models or actresses or celebrities say that no one wants to date them and they never get asked out. They might not get asked out by people they want to be asked out by, but they do get asked out. They come into contact with hundreds of people a day, sometimes for weeks or even months on end. The same people just like any other work place and they get asked out. A lot. Sop, when I see things like Victoria Beckham saying that even when she was in the Spice Girls and no one asked her out before David Beckham, I find myself in disagreement with my previous thesis above and say maybe she was not asked out because she rarely smiles and seems like a very unapproachable person.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- A Harvard program making its first-ever trip to Evanston learned the challenges that come with facing Northwestern at Lakeside Field as the Wildcats sped past the Crimson, 16-3, on a cold and blustery day at the lakefront. Senior attacker Erin Fitzgerald remained in a groove offensively by setting career highs for goals (6) and points (7) -- both single-game highs by a Wildcat this season -- and now has 21 goals in her last four games.
The three goals allowed by Northwestern are the fewest given up by the 'Cats since May 5, 2011, when it held Penn State to three in the first round of the American Lacrosse Conference Tournament. Harvard managed just 11 shots on the game -- compared to 38 by the Wildcats -- and sophomore goalkeeper Bridget Bianco made five saves while lowering her season goals against average to 6.82 goals per game.
Back on offense, senior Ali Cassera chipped in with a season-best three goals while freshman Christina Esposito scored twice and dished out her team-high eighth assist of the year.
Watch: Game Highlights
Northwestern was in control early as it earned three straight 8-meter opportunities on its first possession, with Fitzgerald coming up with the game's first goal off the free position at the 28:37 mark. It proved to be the first of three consecutive 8-meter goals the Wildcats would score, with Alyssa Leonard and Fitzgerald tallying to give the hosts a 3-0 advantage.
Throughout the first half, Northwestern continuously kept Harvard pinned its own end of the field with tireless pressure on the ride, and NU turned defense into offense at the 17:48 mark when a caused turnover allowed Fitzgerald to set up Cassera for NU's fourth goal of the day. Fitzgerald, who had a hand in four of the 'Cats' first five goals, dodged through the fan and scored four minutes later to extend Northwestern's lead to five.
Harvard's Danielle Tetreault finally put the Crimson on the scoreboard with an 8-meter goal with 11:29 left in the opening half, and the score would remain 5-1 for nearly nine minutes until Cassera netted her second of the day off a free position attempt. Cassera then made it two straight as she finished a feed from Esposito with 1:53 to play for her 10th goal of the year.
Havard pulled within four thanks to back-to-back 8-meter goals by team captain Micaela Cyr to open the second stanza, but Esposito accepted a pass from Leonard and scored at the 24:03 mark to re-up NU's lead to five. It was the first of nine unanswered goals by the Wildcats to end the game.
Fitzgerald contributed to the run by scoring her 26th, 27th and 28th goals of the season in a span of just two minutes and 49 seconds to blow the game open for Northwestern, twice using her speed and stick skills to elude Harvard defenders en route to the cage.
Senior Amanda Macaluso jumped in on the scoring nearly midway through the second half when she wrapped the crease and turned back to her off hand for the score, her 14th goal of the year. Esposito followed suit when she turned the crease to the opposite side, avoiding a defender and beating Harvard goalkeeper Melanie Cook over her shoulder with a low-angle shot.
With a 10-goal lead and a running clock in the works, junior Kelly Rich scored on the 8-meter for her ninth of the season before sophomore Brooks Lawler worked her way in front of the cage for an unassisted goal with 4:19 remaining. Sophomore Blake McHugh rounded out the Northwestern scoring with her first goal of the season, finishing deftly with her left hand after a feed from freshman Nancy Dunbar.
Northwestern won a hard-fought battle off the draw circle thanks to six draw controls by Leonard and five by senior Taylor Thornton, who also notched three ground balls to pass former NU goalkeeper Morgan Lathrop for fifth on the school's career ground balls list. Thornton, the reigning Lacrosse Honda Sports Award winner, stands at 151 ground balls for her career.
With final exam week looming, the Wildcats are off from competition for 11 straight days before returning to action with three straight games at Lakeside Field. The stretch begins on Wednesday, March 27 (5:30 p.m. CT), against American Lacrosse Conference rival Ohio State in a game that will air live on the Big Ten Network.

From the Chapel of the Burning Bush at St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai where the original root of this plant still flourishes, this colorful 16th century icon illustrates in form the hymn "All of Creation Rejoices in Thee," sung to the Virgin Mary after the Consecration of the Holy Gifts in the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great. In the upper section, the Theotokos with her Divine Child sit enthroned surrounded by angels before a five-domed church around which are bright green trees, echoing the words in this hymn to the Virgin, "a hallowed temple and a spiritual paradise."
In the lower part of the icon there are rows of men and women standing, the Righteous and the Saints who have consistently honored the Virgin Mary as "more honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious than the Seraphim" as the Hymn "It is Truly Meet and Right" declares so clearly. From the time of the Apostles until today, great honor and love is shown by the Church, and especially the Holy Ones within the Church, to the Virgin. The two larger figures, in the middle and below the Virgin, are those of St. John the Baptist, and St. John Damascene, who holds a scroll.

Dr. Tom Malone, who was greatly used of the Lord as the pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church for over 50 years, and who was led to start the Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, MI, testified of this truth he had personally experienced repeatedly in ministry: When God is going to do something wonderful, He starts with the difficult. When God is going to do something miraculous, He starts with the impossible.
Of course we know that when God is involved, there really is no such thing as impossible (Cf. Luke 1:37)! In Nehemiah's life, God would have to do something wonderful, miraculous even, to move a pagan king to allow him to go to Jerusalem and rebuild its walls!
Nehemiah 2 is a divinely preserved account of God's wonderful and miraculous intervention. It really serves as an illustration of the truth God taught Solomon many centuries prior: The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will (Proverbs 21:1).
Like Nehemiah we need to recognize, focus upon and see this "good hand of our God" Who works in behalf of His people to bring about that which is for their good and His glory. This chapter teaches us important truth regarding the providential rule of God over the affairs of men. So in this message our pastor shows us two ways in which we can learn to see the providential rule of God in our lives, to Seeing God's Good Hand.

So a drunk knocks on the door..........
A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
"Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3:00 in the morning!"
He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!"
"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us?
I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"
The man thinks about it, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain.
He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes," comes back the answer.
"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband.
"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.
"Where are you?" asks the husband.
"Over here on the swing," replied the drunk.

The U.S. economy added 218,000 jobs in July, according to today's employment report released by payroll-processing firm ADP and their partner Moody's Analytics. This is down from June's report of 281,000 and up slightly from the revised May report of 214,000.
Although the July numbers indicate slower growth compared to June, ADP president and CEO Carlos Rodriguez still chalks it up as positive, because this is the "fourth straight month of employment gains above 200,000," he said in a press release.
"The July employment gain was softer than June, but remains consistent with a steadily improving job market. At the current pace of job growth, unemployment will quickly decline," said Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi in a press release. "Layoffs are still receding and hiring and job openings are picking up. If current trends continue, the economy will return to full employment by late 2016."
The economy added 12,000 construction jobs over the month—less than half of last month's growth, in which the initial data represented the highest total in the industry since February 2006. July's numbers indicate the lowest monthly gain in the construction industry since 8,000 jobs were added last August.
Manufacturing also experienced deflated growth, with a mere 3,000 jobs added in July. This is less than a third of June's revised number of 10,000.
The professional and business services sector, a broad category that most likely includes architects and engineers, also took a downturn with 61,000 jobs added in July, compared to 79,000 added in June.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report is scheduled for release Friday morning, providing more detailed information about the economic state of the construction and architecture fields.

1 Dead, 2 Injured In Shooting At Casino
PINETOP, Ariz. (AP) — Police say they shot and killed a gunman who wounded two people outside a northern Arizona casino.
White Mountain Apache Police Chief Travis Tessay Sr. says the alleged shooter got into an argument with his wife around 6:30 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of the Hon-Dah Casino in Pinetop.
Tessay says the suspect retrieved a rifle, leading his wife and a child to run into the casino. According to Tessay, the suspect shot a security guard who went outside to investigate.
The guard was flown to a Phoenix hospital and released Sunday. Tessay says a customer was also injured — possibly from bullet or glass fragments.
Tessay says the suspect ignored commands to put down the rifle and was shot by an officer.
He died before reaching a hospital.

D-G Drum failure Root Cause
Hello ALL
This post for info only. If previously posted please forgive. Just purchased a 2001 530i with 77K on the clock. Transmission is working fine with NO codes present. Before purchase I knew of this problem area. Before being left on the side of the road I decide to tackle this problem. After talking with numerous associates from ZF transmissions this is what I learned. Yes the D-G drum is light weight and needs to be replaced but the root cause is in the main valve body. Pull up the explode view of the trans. valve body. Find the main valve body part number. Find part number 50.010 or ZF part number 1060 327 138. Locate bore number 50.100. This is the modulation pressure port. It's job is to regulate transmission pressure and does so by continuous rapid cycling. Over time the piston laps or wears the bore of the valve body making it egg shaped, as a result constant pump pressure (approximately 850psi) slips past part 50.100 and puts constant pressure on the clutch pack. The end result BAM! If you've installed a new D/G drum and did not address this, it's only a matter of time.
The good news is that you don't have to pull the tranny to change this part. Drop the pan, the lower valve body plate the neck of the transmission filter goes through is the culprit. When swapping out the piston components no o rings are required. The best price I could find is $140 at CTSC (California transmission supply company). If you don't have a $140 look up Sonnax.com. Valve body's is all they do. They have a modification fit which includes a reaming fixture tool to over bore the port and an over size piston for the hole. Price for this tool unknown to date.
This also appies to Audi, VW Passet, Porsche, and several others.
My contacts: Lory transmission (ZF rep) Miami, Fl.
Eriksson Industies Old Saybrook, Conn.
Need a new tranny... check out Trans Specialties Wayne, NJ., autotransparts.com
Price $2000 plus tax, shipping $125, and $750 core. This tranny indules ALL modification/upgrades and includes a torque converter.
Good Luck and pass this on.:):thumbup:

This is interesting. Good detective work there.
I think this is the the ZF 5HP19 transmission. If so, here's a page out of the manual that shows the parts numbers for others to reference.
I'm a little unclear on what you're telling us. I think what you're telling us is that the piston wears out the bore, which also wears the piston. The fluid is eventually able to bypass the piston. This causes the transmission failure. The solution to this is to replace the piston. Is that the essence of this?
sorry for the misunderstanding. Lets try again. No the piston doesn't wear out. The high rate of modulation or cycling actually wears the valve body out at the 6 o'clock position, ie the bottom of the bore. The hole in the valve body that excepts the piston becomes egg shaped in the bottom of the bore allowing fluid to bypass the piston on top or 12 o'clock position. The repair has to be made one of two ways. Replace the valve body housing with a new one to the tune of $150 min. All the pieces in the old valve body should drop right in the new valve body no soft wear will be disturbed. The other fix is reaming the bore with the tool I mentioned from Sonnax. When purchasing the reaming tool a new over size piston is provided as part of the kit I think or may be sold separately. The over size piston diameter is matched to the diameter of the reamer. The 2 choices are replace the valve body or repair the old one. If you want to find out the condition of your existing valve body pull the piston out of the bore in the hole marked as 50.100. Then stick your finger in the bore. If the vale body is shot you will feel a ridge or step inside the bore. Example; have you ever taken a motor with high miles apart? At the top of the cylinder (combustion chamber) there is usually a ridge worn in the top of the cylinder where the compression ring stops. Any good mechanic doing a engine over haul has a tool called a ridge cutter for cutting the ridge out of the engine block cylinder. This is the same principle that happens in the valve body. That's what this reamer tool from Sonnax does. It's kind like punching out a cylinder bore to install over size pistons or cutting the ridge off the top of a cylinder to save the engine block. Hope this clarifies it. Got a little long winded. Sorry. PS you may have trouble trying to get the piston out of the valve body. Use compressed air from the back side and blow it out. It goes without saying when pulling these vale bodies apart make sure all the springs and things go back in the correct order. Good luck. PSS; This tread also applies to 3 series bimmers and possibly 7 series. The key to this is a ZF 5HP 19 transmission. It doesn't matter what car it's in, it's still a ZF 5HP 19 tranny.
Again no need to replace piston unless you can see that the anodized coating on the piston lands is worn off.
Thanks for the clarification. I looked through the ctsc website. There is a lot of good information there.
I want to clarify one other thing. If you wait to do the repair until the transmission has failed, does it damage anything else? Your use of the BAM! in the first post is scary, but from what I understand about the internal workings of automatic transmissions(limited), it's not going to do any permanent harm.
Tried to open your link to the PDF chart and couldn't. For all go to www.ZF.com. Scroll to page 24. You'll find what your looking for there. Additional info. when replacing the d-g drum. After reading several threads I guess finding o rings for the piston plate in the D&G clutch pack is trouble. My understanding is you have to buy a base line rebuild kit. They run about $230-$250. Now I know you can buy a D-G drum for about $110 on the low end. Then you have to start piece mealing every together. When I talk to Lory transmissions (Miami, Fl.) they quoted a price of $230, upon reluctance to purchase, they came down to $195 for just the drum. I still wanted the o rings. After talking with Scott and explaining my tranny wasn't blown nor did I have any fault codes and my objective was to just replace the D-G drum this was the offer. A D-G drum kit which I had never heard of for $250 plus shipping. I took it. When the package arrived this is what I got; steels for the D-G drum assemblies, orings for the D-G clutch packs, the up graded D-G drum, a forward seal, o rings for the forward pump housing, a filter and pan gasket. Granted some of this I won't use (clutch pack steels including snap rings), but over all I think it was a pretty good deal. Lory didn't have the valve body ZF
part number 1060 327 138 it's coming from CTSC in Calif. FYI; CTSC will not talk to you on the phone or discuss transmission problems. CTSC is email only and that is strictly limited to buying parts. They won't help you looking up a part number or anything else. It's like this, fill out the order form to include part numbers, and give m your credit card number. That's it! Do not pass go,do not collect $200, go directly to jail. That's it. They do have a return policy but for the most part know what your buying before pulling up the order form. But hey this valve body every where else is like $250 or more. I got it for $140 plus shipping. For that price go ahead and slam the door in my face, who cares.
The problem with Bam is this for the most part the D-G drum is directly over the top of the valve body. For the most part the metal falls directly into the oil pan and is secured there, because ZF like any other transmission has magnets in the bottom of the oil pan for just that purpose. The worry is the o rings in the D drum, if they disintegrate, pieces could migrate to the torque converter or else where if they become deposited on the up stream side of the filter. If the o ring parts drop to the oil pan they'll stay there or get caught in the filter.
