Hannity continued to bash carbon offsets -- no mention of Murdoch's purported plans to use them
On the July 9 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, during a discussion of the recent Live Earth [1] concert series -- a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series to raise awareness for issues related to global warming -- co-host Sean Hannity [2] criticized the concept of purchasing carbon credits to offset one's "carbon footprint" as a "joke" and a "fraud." Guest Chris Horner, senior fellow for the energy industry-funded [3] Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), joined Hannity in bashing carbon offsets, likening the system to a priest who buys "adultery offsets." This is only the latest example of Hannity attacking carbon offsets and, in particular, former Vice President Al Gore's reported use of them. However, Hannity has yet to address News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch's pledge to take steps -- including the use of carbon offsets -- "to be carbon neutral, across all our businesses" -- which includes Fox News -- "by 2010."
On May 9, News Corp. announced [4] that all of its "business units will become carbon neutral by 2010 -- through energy efficiency, buying renewable power and offsetting otherwise unavoidable emissions. Becoming carbon neutral is only the beginning of the company's permanent commitment to change the way it uses energy and to reach its audiences on this issue." Furthermore, in a May 9 speech [5], Murdoch went into greater detail regarding News Corp.'s plan to use carbon credits to offset "unavoidable" emissions:
MURDOCH: While we reduce our own carbon footprint we will encourage the companies who truck our DVDs and newspapers, sell us paper, and provide an enormous range of products and services -- to all contribute.
Today, we are joining the Climate Group, a coalition of businesses and governments working together to solve the climate problem.
But some emissions will be unavoidable. As a last resort, we will offset these emissions.
A carbon offset is a financial tool to support projects that prevent carbon from being released into the atmosphere. Done right, they will widen the implementation of carbon-saving technologies, and give an incentive to create new solutions.
We have entered into an agreement to begin purchasing carbon offsets this year, from projects that provide wind power in India.
When our net emissions reach zero -- through a combination of operational changes and carbon offsets -- we will be carbon neutral.
But as Media Matters for America recently noted [6], Hannity has yet to address these claims.
During the July 9 segment, Global Warming Action Alliance president John Cleveland noted that the Live Earth organizers "paid for carbon offset credits," to which Hannity responded, "What a joke." He later told Horner: "Let's talk about the carbon offset fraud." Horner replied:" OK, real quickly. Sean, you have a priest. If your priest tells you ... that adultery is a mortal sin and then holds a big orgy at his house and tells everybody about it, but then says, 'You still need to take me seriously about adultery, because I bought adultery offsets.' Would you keep going back to that church?" He added: "That's what the high church of environmentalism is about. ... It's like the infidelity never occurred."
Hannity has previously derided [7] carbon offsets as a "sham," a "crock," and a "ridiculous concept" and has repeatedly criticized Gore's reported use of them:
- Discussing "lies" about global warming on the April 29 edition of Fox News' Hannity's America, Hannity claimed that "carbon credits are a sham" and asserted: "Big environmental lie No. 2: It's OK if Learjet liberals fly around in private jets, because they buy carbon offsets."
- During the April 5 Hannity & Colmes, Hannity asserted: "If pollution is so bad, if carbon emissions are so bad, polluting the planet is so bad, then instead of buying these indulgences -- carbon offsets -- why wouldn't people like Gore give up the jets and stop spending 20 times the amount of electricity? In response, co-host Alan Colmes asserted: "You actually are purchasing something to offset what the pollution you're putting into the environment. ... Hey, you can laugh it all you want. ... [Y]ou want to make it about Al Gore." Hannity responded: "I think this is the most asinine, ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
- During the March 25 edition of Hannity's America, while discussing Gore's March 21 testimony on global warming before the House and Senate environment committees, Hannity asked Drew Johnson, president of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, to "[e]xplain this ridiculous concept that liberals are trying to throw on us about carbon offsets that they can buy sort of like indulgences."
Johnson replied: "With carbon offsets, you are essentially saying you are allowing rich liberals ... to pay for a little kid somewhere in a third world country to plant a tree on your behalf to help clean up the environment. You are essentially saying, 'I don't care enough about the environment to take steps in my own life, so I'm going to spend my money to encourage some little kid somewhere in a third world country and ask him to do something." Hannity added: "I won't stop polluting the planet, I'll just, you know, plant a tree and then my conscience is free."
- On the March 19 Hannity & Colmes, after Air America's EcoTalk host Betsy Rosenberg noted that Gore was reportedly using carbon offsets, Hannity stated: "Carbon offsets is a crock, and you know it." He later claimed: "If you're Al Gore and a liberal, you can be a hypocrite."
From the July 9 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: John Cleveland, let me ask you this question. You know, Al Gore travels around in private jets. He uses 20 times --
CLEVELAND: Wrong.
HANNITY: Excuse me --
CLEVELAND: You are wrong.
HANNITY: Sir, I've chronicled it. He travels around in private jets. We've gone through a whole experience, and I'll give you the dates and times that we now have chronicled he's been on private jets. So that's a fact.
CLEVELAND: And how much of that has he done on commercial airlines?
HANNITY: Can I finish? He uses 20 times the amount of electricity than the average citizen of Tennessee. For this concert, how many of these guys traveled how many miles around the world and put a big carbon imprint? Is that a problem for you?
CLEVELAND: The thing that you're not telling people is that the organizers of this organization paid for carbon offset credits. Al Gore's home is --
HANNITY: What a joke.
CLEVELAND: -- 100 percent green, 100 percent green.
HANNITY: Chris Horner, this is a carbon offset company that he owns and he makes profit on. Let's talk about the carbon offset fraud.
HORNER: OK, real quickly. Sean, you have a priest. If your priest tells you every Sunday, as he probably does, that adultery is a mortal sin and then holds a big orgy at his house and tells everybody about it, but then says, "You still need to take me seriously about adultery, because I bought adultery offsets." Would you keep going back to that church? That's what the high church of environmentalism is about. Remember, they just said, as long as -- obviously, the wealthy, you buy offsets. It's 100 percent green. It's like the infidelity never occurred.

I've been revisiting old blog posts lately, and came across this one on Nashville speaking presentations. I'm kinda embarrassed by that little video below, but here it will remain since the point of looking at old writing is not to extinguish the past, but merely to update and elaborate. If you're in Music City for a Nashville speaking presentation, or for music and other events, here's a page that's always updated and will be a good resource for you, Upcoming Nashville Events.
But back to that video below, one I'd never post if it were today. We learn so much from our past experience, if we allow ourselves to learn. Creative people often talk about the value of failure; failure's often more important than a successful experience because failure forces us to reconsider what we've been doing. Every song I submitted that was rejected by a publisher fed my drive to become a better songwriter and that led to my string of successes.
When I'm giving my Nashville speaking presentation or speaking at any event, I'm focused on creativity. Creative people are inherently risk-takers. As such, creative people know that failure is on the same coin as success, but just a different side. Below is a picture from a speaking presentation at Vanderbilt University. Lots of guitars, as you can see! Guitars help get people out of their comfort zone and into taking some risks as they learn to tap back into their inherent creative abilities.
Nashville Speaking Presentation Goals
My main goals with all my speaking presentations are to create a fun, inclusive atmosphere and to make sure everyone leaves feeling confident and inspired in their ability to be more creative. So many adults believe they're not creative because they're far removed from the play and exploration they did when they were kids. As we grow up, the adults around us, the adults who applauded our creative pursuits when we were very young, negate the value of creativity as we get into our teen years. But at any age, we all still have great creative potential. It's an important attribute to recognize and to continue to use.

After his father's death (1376) he was created prince of Wales and succeeded his grandfather, Edward III, to the throne. During his minority, his uncle John of Gaunt was the most influential single noble, but the struggle for power among several rival lords perpetuated the faction-ridden government inherited by Richard from his predecessor. In 1381, when Richard was 14, there occurred the uprising known as the Peasants' Revolt, led by Wat Tyler and John Ball. The young king acted with great courage in meeting with the insurgents, but the concessions that he made were immediately revoked, and the rebels were ruthlessly persecuted.

Tinkler Sought to Buy Blackwood to Avoid Testimony
Joe SchneiderNathan Tinkler, the biggest shareholder in Whitehaven Coal Ltd., proposed buying Blackwood Corp. to avoid having to testify in court about his finances, an Australian judge was told.
New South Wales Superior Court Justice Paul Brereton today dismissed Tinkler's bid to avoid taking the stand, ruling against his claim that the liquidator of his former company Mulsanne Resources Pty was abusing the court process by using the examination as leverage in negotiations. The judge's decision allows the liquidator's lawyers to question Tinkler beginning on March 14.
Blackwood sought to wind up Tinkler's Mulsanne in November after it failed to pay A$28.4 million ($29.2 million) it owed for shares it agreed to buy in the coal developer. Tinkler didn't contest the order in court at the time, which was granted by New South Wales Supreme Court Registrar Nicholas Flaskas.
Blackwood's board turned down a takeover offer from KN Coal Pty, a Singapore-based company controlled by Tinkler, on March
7. The directors said they would consider a modified proposal if Tinkler provided a A$15 million guarantee, Alec Leopold, Tinkler's lawyer, said at a hearing in Sydney today.
'Examined Publically'
Tinkler approached Blackwood saying "please, do a deal," Robert Newlinds, lawyer for the Mulsanne liquidator Ferrier Hodgson, said in court today. "I don't want to be examined publically."
Ferrier Hodgson sought to force Tinkler to testify in court about his finances, wanting to know, according to Newlinds, how Mulsanne could have agreed to pay A$28.4 million for the Blackwood shares without having any funding in place.
Tinkler failed to show up for the court-ordered testimony on March 8.
The liquidator's move to compel Tinkler to testify "doesn't begin to approach abuse of process," Brereton said in his ruling today, delivered from the bench following a 4 1/2-hour hearing.
Tinkler was listed as one of three directors of Mulsanne in a December Australian Securities and Investments Commission [CONFIRM] company extract. Mulsanne was created in April, and agreed in May to invest A$28.4 million for a 34 percent stake in Blackwood, which is controlled by commodity trader Noble Group Ltd. and is developing coal mines in Queensland state.
The ruling putting Mulsanne in liquidation exposed Tinkler, an electrician-turned-mining investor, personally to creditors, said Marina Nehme, a senior lecturer at University of Western Sydney's School of Law. The Australian Tax Office sought to liquidate eight Tinkler companies in December for unpaid taxes. Tinkler has settled most of those claims since.
Aircraft Sale
Tinkler's Dassault Falcon 900C jet and AgustaWestland A109S helicopter were seized after TGHA Aviation Pty was placed in receivership on Nov. 23 at the request of GE Commercial Australasia Pty, Nathan Landrey, a partner at the receiver Taylor Woodings in Sydney said.
The aircraft are being advertised for sale, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Tinkler's business journey began when he sold his house in 2006 to help buy the A$30 million Middlemount coal lease in Queensland before selling it a year later to Macarthur Coal Ltd. for about A$465 million in cash and shares. More recently, his wealth and personal indebtedness has been the subject of speculation.
Whitehaven said in August Tinkler abandoned his plan to take over the coal miner for A$5.3 billion without giving a reason. The company's stock has fallen 56 percent in the past year, as coal prices declined.
The case is In the matter of Mulsanne Resources Pty. 2012/00296966. Supreme Court of New South Wales (Sydney).

Well, you could:
(1) Not give your boss the number. Grapple the expectation head-on.
(2) Give your boss the number with the caveat that at some places the reception really sucks. "Gee, boss, sorry I missed your call. I must have been in a dead spot!"
(3) Get a Google Voice number, and give that to your boss. It's up to you whether or not you forward it to your phone.
Now, that is a good idea.
It sounds like a deal you shouldn't pass up. And I admire your loyalty. Your new employer will appreciate your loyalty, too, when you explain to them how you still need to help your old company out.
I am sure they would accommodate your working with your old employer until they can get on their feet once again. Perhaps telecommute some, or work at the old job a few days a week.
If they had objections to that, I would question wanting to work for them...
I wish I had mod points so I could rate this Funny.
On the off chance that you are serious, I suspect that the fraction of employers who would welcome such an arrangement is very low, especially if it were an open-ended arrangement. I imagine everybody would be much more comfortable if you start the new job later, and give extended notice at the old job.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com/AP) — After being thoroughly outplayed for over 40 minutes, the Los Angeles Clippers fought back.
Leading the way was a player not known for coming up big in the clutch.
Darren Collison scored eight of his 18 points in the final 2:58, rallying the Clippers past the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-99 on Sunday to tie the Western Conference semifinal series 2-2.
"Even though we didn't play well throughout the game, we were able to get a win," Collison said. "That feels more impressive than anything we did."
Russell Westbrook, who scored 27 points, missed a 3-pointer and Serge Ibaka's tip attempt was too late at the buzzer, allowing the Clippers to salvage a game they trailed until the final 1:23.
"It was a good look," Westbrook said. "Just didn't go in."
Blake Griffin led Los Angeles with 25 points, making 9 of 11 free throws. Jamal Crawford added 18 points. DeAndre Jordan had 14 rebounds, helping the Clippers win the boards, 45-43 — the first time in 11 playoff games the Thunder were outrebounded.
"We just willed this one. We found a way," said Chris Paul, who had 23 points and 10 assists.
Kevin Durant scored 40 points, hitting 15 of 18 free throws, for the Thunder.
"We let this one slip away," he said. "We could have took control of the series."
Game 5 is Tuesday night in Oklahoma City.
"We were almost on the mat and we got off of it. We didn't get pinned," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "They're seething right now. They had an opportunity to go up 3-1 and now it's an even series."
It was the 14th comeback — and largest yet — by the Clippers this season after trailing by double digits. They rallied from 12 points down in the second quarter of Game 7 to oust Golden State in the first round.
"This is one of the best ones yet," Paul said. "Darren Collison was amazing. You just got to love a guy like that who plays with so much heart and never gives up."
The Clippers had no answer for Durant and Westbrook until midway through the fourth quarter. That dynamic duo drove the lane with abandon, drew fouls and made free throws in leading the Thunder to an early 22-point lead.
Durant's three-point play early in the fourth extended the Thunder's lead to 15 points, and they were still up by 10 with 7:44 to go.
But the comeback Clippers were not to be denied.
"Everybody kept telling each other, `Chip away, chip away,"' Griffin said. "That was kind of our mentality for the rest of the game. We just kept fighting."
The Clippers stole a page out of the Thunder's playbook, switching to a smaller lineup that included Collison and Danny Granger, who helped disrupt the Thunder's rebounding late.
Paul willed his team back into it, scoring six straight points to get the Clippers within six. Griffin, who was saddled with five fouls, made three of four free throws before Collison got hot.
"The whole time I'm thinking, `We can't be down 3-1, we just can't be down 3-1 going to Oklahoma," Collison said.
With the game tied at 97, Collison scored the Clippers' final four points on layups. Crawford passed to a streaking Collison for a fast-break conversion on the second one for a 101-97 lead with 32 seconds left. Westbrook scored for the Thunder, but after Griffin missed, Westbrook did too to end the game.
"Did that really just happen?" a still stunned Crawford said.
Paul missed all five of his shots in the third, when Griffin picked up three fouls to give him five, and Crawford and Jordan each got their third.
Ibaka, who shot 9 of 10 in the Thunder's Game 3 win, got his fourth foul, along with Westbrook in the third. The Clippers came as close as eight points before Reggie Jackson's 3-pointer beat the shot clock to keep the Thunder ahead 75-63 going into the fourth.
The Thunder had the Clippers on their heels from the opening tip, with Oklahoma City shooting 65 percent in building a 22-point lead.
Oklahoma City outscored the Clippers 32-15 in the first; the fewest points they've allowed in a quarter of a playoff game.

Not that you'd know it to look at his gorgeous wife Miranda Kerr, who gave birth less than three months ago.
The Australian beauty looked better than ever as she joined her Victoria's Secret colleagues to launch a new collection in LA this week.
Clearly her organic diet and skincare regime is working wonders for the globetrotting new mum as she showed off flawless skin, sparkling eyes and a fabulous figure.
The 27-year-old looked equally stunning as she attended a launch for Spanish fashion house Balenciaga in San Francisco last week.

The lack of a developing, dominant weather system coupled with erratic changes over the past year indicate that Indiana could be in for wide swings in weather in the early weeks of autumn, the State Climate Office says. The October outlook is for above-normal temperatures with equal chances for above- normal, normal and below-normal precipitation. Weather beyond October is more difficult to assess because climatological systems such as El Niño and La Nińa that would drive Indiana weather into November are still evolving.
"This is a time when we should be cautious about looking too far into the future, especially when we don't have a dominant driver," said Dev Niyogi, state climatologist based at Purdue University. "There are some years when we have very strong indicators. When El Niño and La Niña are active, they tend to dictate the weather of our upcoming season, and we can project with higher confidence whether it will be warmer or drier."
The fall season will be influenced by multiple air masses, any of which could dominate at any time, Niyogi said.
"If we have a tropical atmosphere becoming more active, then we can expect more warmer and humid weather conditions, with more storm activity," he said. "On the other hand, if that is not the dominant factor, then we might have the potential for a colder, drier air mass coming to Indiana more frequently."
Which pattern might develop as the stronger of the two is in question at this time.
"And therein lies our dilemma at this point in drawing one strong, singular conclusion as to what will dominate," he said. "But one thing that we can say for certain is in the absence of one strong driver and that we will be influenced by multiple air masses, it is very likely that Indiana will witness wide swings in its week-by-week weather as we go into the new season."
Adding to the difficulty in forecasting is the unusual weather Indiana has experienced in the past couple of years, especially since last year when drought was so severe that it led to fire and watering bans and drastically lowered crop yields. Indiana emerged from drought over the winter with frequent precipitation, which was followed by an abundance of spring rain that delayed many farmers in planting their crops.
Then, in another turnabout, Indiana this summer again fell into an extended dry period that brought back drought to some areas and lowered high expectations for excellent crop yields.
The U.S. Drought Monitor update of Sept. 26 showed that heavy rains the previous week brought some relief to Indiana. Several counties in the state's midsection that had been in moderate drought - the lowest level of drought - improved to abnormally dry. Some other counties got enough rain to eliminate dry conditions.
Niyogi said the climate office will continue to monitor the situation to determine whether any particular weather driver seems to become dominant. The office will provide an updated outlook later in the fall.
Ken Scheeringa, associate state climatologist, said autumn typically is a difficult time for forecasting because the state is transitioning from the summer to weather patterns that will establish themselves for the winter.
"Sometimes there is a very sharp cutoff between seasons, but that's not happening," he said.
One thing about the fall that Scheeringa could say with absolute certainty - and with tongue in cheek: "Autumn arrived at 4:44 EDT on Sept. 22 - exactly as predicted well in advance."

HIV/AIDS and the Black Church: A Retrospective!By Rae Lewis-Thornton March 7, 2012 This piece originally appeared in Rae's blog, Diva Living With AIDS. People always got something to say about the Black Church and AIDS, like Black Churches are the only churches in the world. I was doing a radio interview just yesterday and one question asked, "Why was the Black Church slow to respond to AIDS?" HELLO, MOST churches, across denominations and the color line were slow to respond to AIDS. Now let me be clear, it doesn't make it right, but it's the truth, and it's an honest look at AIDS and the church, especially the Black Church. I wonder if White AIDS Activists get asked, "Why was the White Church slow to respond to AIDS?" Just Sayin!!! There has been a double standard when addressing the Black Church and AIDS and their response or lack of response. The thing is, many churches were slow to respond to HIV/AIDS in the United States. You have to remember, AIDS was scary. In those early days, we didn't even really know for sure how a person contracted HIV. All we knew was that primarily white, gay men were coming into the hospital with this stage disease. Even the medical community didn't understand. Now, on face value, Pastors thought it was some modern day curse from God. Now let me pause, Bible readers, don't act like God didn't curse people because God did, it's all through the Old Testament; But when Jesus came, as the Christian faith goes, Grace, took the place of a curse. The understanding of God's Grace, should have been enough for Christian's, not just pastors, but ALL Christians to embrace people dying from AIDS, but shoot, you had doctors that didn't even want to touch people with AIDS. So being human, I think many pastors were living in the uncertainty of this strange disease, combined with their theological understanding of not just homosexuality, but also fornication and drug use. Maybe God was doing something new, pastors pondered. Maybe this was a sign from God of some sort. Pastors were paralyzed, stuck between their theology, humanness and God's Grace. It was a dark period for the Church as a whole, but it was also a dark period for society as a whole. Mothers and Fathers allowed their children to die in hospitals alone. Doctors and nurses wouldn't touch people with AIDS and Funeral Directors would bury. In time, society began to open up, ease up and respond to AIDS differently and so did the church. Let me back, up, for the record, I know churches in Chicago, who had AIDS ministries from the very beginning; Churches such as, Trinity United Church of Christ, under the pastorship of Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright and Fellowship M. B. Church, under the pastorship of Rev. Dr. Clay Evans and that was huge for Rev. Evans, because, women couldn't wear pants in his church until around year 2000-2001. For Real!! There were other ministers who were at the forefront early. Pastor Michael Jones in Indianapolis, Progressive M. B. Church; Whose church I've spoken at several times back in the 90's and Pastor Ed Sanders at Metropolitan Church in Nashville, Tennessee. I can go on and on naming Black Pastors who have and are dealing with the issue of HIV/AIDS. You get the point? There were Black pastors that got it from day one and responded without fear and judgment. They responded with God's Grace rather than God's law. So why is there more pressure on the Black Church than the church at large? No one challenged white Pastors on Civil Rights back in the day. That's what made Dr. Martin Luther King's Letter from The Birmingham Jail so powerful, Dr. King put white pastors in the line of fire and challenged their faith on the issue of segregation. And quite frankly, not all black ministers where supporters of the Civil Rights Movement. When Dr. King came to Chicago, there were only two black pastors that would allow him to speak at their church. The same can stand true for the issue of HIV/AIDS, not all pastors are on board, but some are. However, it seems they never get any recognition. So here we are today, 31 years into the AIDS pandemic talking about what Black Churches ain't doing about HIV/AIDS. I'm going on record and saying, Y'all need to lighten the heck up! I have spoken at 100's of black churches in these last 20 years and I've arranged testing for HIV in many black churches. Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr., organized over 100 pastors to be publicly tested for HIV at his Saturday morning forum. I know this to be true, because I did the organizing for him. So to say that the Black Church and Black Pastors ain't doing nothing just is NOT true. Take this Sunday for example, I spoke at Greater Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Austin Texas, all three worship services. Now for a pastor to give his/her preaching time up on Sunday morning is major. Pastor Gaylon Clark of Greater Mt. Zion Baptist Church did just that and I spoke to 3 jammed packed worship services, where I gave my testimony, uncut!! Pastor Gaylon got tested for HIV in the pulpit all three worship services to show how easy testing is for his congregation. Now, what happened in Austin, just wasn't at Greater Mt. Zion. Pastor Gaylon organized his fellow clergy and 15 other churches also did testing for HIV and it was across denomination, from Baptist to Church of God. They tested 96 people across the city and 249 at Mt. Zion. They did a wonderful job with a total of 345 being tested at churches citywide. Greater Mt. Zion was wonderful! The congregation accepted me with open arms and yes they sowed seeds into my ministry and supported me finically and good Lawd, they bought tons of my bracelets from RLT Collection! We were a blessing to each other. Moving Forward: Yes, we still have some black ministers stuck somewhere between God's Grace and God's Theology and their understanding of it thereof, but white ministers are too especially Southern Baptists, where might I add, HIV is hit the hardest with new cases. Now, I know I'm going to take some heat for what I'm about to say, but I'm used to heat, so anyhoo, I stand by what I say! Can more Black Churches be involved, YES! So how do we do it? This is how..... Listen closely: Meet Pastors were they are at, not where you want them to be!!!!! We have got to loosen this grip on the church when it comes to homosexuality. There isn't a person on the planet that can interrupt God's word for a Pastor. You have to let that be. How they see and understanding God's word is between them and God, just like who you have sex with is between you that person and God. I can't tell you who to have or not have sex with and as a minister, yes I'm a minster for those who didn't know, you can't tell me how to interpret God's word. That's between me and God and how I see God shaping my ministry. I don't judge you, how dare you judge me? Now, why do we need to loosen up? Let me tell you. Because Black women are contracting HIV heterosexually by 80%. Let me be clear, I love my Gay Brothers. This blog is NOT about homosexuality. You can read more about me and gay men HERE. Nor am I'm saying that the Black Church shouldn't deal with the issue of homosexuality, on the contrary it MUST! What I'm saying is we have got to separate these issues. The White Gay community has co-opt HIV for its own, and we need to challenge that head on. This is a problem not just for how we approach the Black Church, but HIV generally speaking. There is a fight to the finish on who gets the major money for HIV education across this country. Black CBO's are underfunded to the white, gay ran, more established groups. I know it's politically incorrect to talk about this topic, and most people don't for fear of being labeled, Gay bashing or anti-gay. Well, I'm going on record, I am NOT anti-Gay! But as long as black people are disproportionately impacted by HIV, I will not shut up about how we approach HIV/AIDS in the black community. The Gay community didn't do it in the 80's and 90's and they shouldn't ask us to do anything differently than how they approached HIV/AIDS for the gay community and turn things around. Just Sayin!! I'm moving On. This is about how we approach Black Pastors around HIV/AIDS. You can't have it both ways, on one level, the Gay community wants to challenge people... i.e. why you keep saying AIDS is a Gay disease? Then when they approach you about HIV/AIDS, their starting point is sexuality. When you approach this issue from the point of sexuality, you keep us locked into thinking how people contract HIV rather than all the issues surrounding HIV. The starting point should be HIV/AIDS. First off people need, love, support and compassion whether they are gay or straight! And for the most part, any pastor will tell you that they care about their congregation. Secondly, HIV is a health issue that gets clouded by the issues of who's zooming who. If you plead the case for HIV, I believe more pastors will come on board. What's the case? Here it is! Let's take testing. The earlier a person knows their HIV status, the longer they live. Most African-Americans discover their HIV status when they are already sick from AIDS and don't benefit from treatment and care like our white counter parts. Might I add, the Gay White Community is on top of treatment and care for themselves? So why not talk to pastors about treatment and care for Black Folks? Why does the discussion always have to be about what that pastor believes about sexuality first, then HIV/AIDS secondly? The fact of the matter, if a person knows their HIV status, they will less likely infect someone else. But as it stands today, 38% of all new cases of HIV are people infected by people who didn't know their HIV status. So just by testing alone we can reduce the numbers of HIV. So why not make the case for testing. Take Salem Baptist Church in Chicago. It is no secret that Pastor Meeks, while his position on same sex relationships is not very supportive, but by the same token, he stood in his pulpit and got tested for HIV and has had testing at his 10,000 plus member church more than once. This Pastor is a clear example on support around HIV/AIDS even if he does not support issues around sexuality. I believe there are more Pastors out here just like this, but we don't give them the chance, black or white. What's The Case? Now you are NOT gonna get all pastors to distribute condoms, but some will say use one, just like Pastor Gaylon and Pastor Jones have done in the past. They may say, "Until you can abstain, use a condom." Even if a pastor won't talk about condoms and just talk about testing in a church, we will have some positive residuals. First off, if you're testing in a church, it will make people think about their sexual behavior. Those 20 minutes waiting on your test results can be life changing for some people. I've been told, you rethink your life over and over and over again, waiting on those test results. Shoot testing in the church, just might get a few people to abstain. Just Sayin! What's The Case? Have you ever considered talking to Pastors about the increase in cases among the senior community? There has been something like a 58% increase in new cases of the 65 and older community. I bet that would blow some pastors away, especially those with large senior populations. This is just one more example of how we can meet pastors on this issue of HIV/AIDS. Hope you get the point. If we are truly concerned about HIV/AIDS in the Black Community, why not address the issue of HIV/AIDS with our pastors, instead of forcing a discussion about something he/she believes they are an authority on, rooted in God's Word? Why not get your feet in the door and make your enemy your friend first? Let them see you as human first. Seeing you as human might lead to understanding the whole you. Why not agree to disagree on some issues? Why do Black Pastors have to believe what you believe in order to tackle HIV/AIDS in their church? Yes, you can and should have that discussion about sexuality with Pastors, all I'm saying, is why does it has to be the starting point to discuss HIV/AIDS. Why hold Black Pastors hostage on one issue when work can be done on other issues around HIV/AIDS? Why can't HIV/AIDS stand as a fluid issue with sexuality being one point, not the only and beginning point. Go ahead and cuss me out *shrugs* but there is a lot of truth in what I'm saying. Now, I'm clear, that Black Gay men are also disproportionately impacted by HIV. But honestly, I don't see, the "majority" organizations out there working on this issue either, trying to understand the complexity of homosexuality in the Black community. I see a one track agenda that has been co-opt by the larger issue of HIV/AIDS. Enough is an Enough! I tell people all the time when I get asked, "What is the Black Community Doing About HIV/AIDS?" I ask, What's the AIDS Community Doing About HIV/AIDS? They have the money and resources. To put the weight of this disease on the black community, when someone else controls the resources is not fair. Likewise, to only have one topic when you talk to a pastor is not fair. With this single approach you leave no room for anything else. The Black Church is a complicated institution, the Black community is too. Nor are we a monolithic people,contrary to belief. Our views are complex. And while some Black Gay men feel isolated, there are many, who don't, who worship every Sunday in a Black Church. I wonder how they feel, black, gay and an active member of a Black Church having to justify that piece of Black culture they are not giving up. I hope you get the point. We spend a whole lot of time bashing the Black Church and Black Pastors, rather than trying to find a way to work with them. We have come a long way in 31 years and yes there is still much work to do. African-Americans are 54% of all HIV cases in the United States and we are around 12-13% of the population. Yes, there is work to be done. Work for the Black Church!! But if we really and truly care about HIV/AIDS in the Black community, we have got to meet Black Pastors at the common place; That is, how can I enrich the lives of the people of God? Testing and treatment is a starting point that I believe many pastors will embrace if given the opportunity. I just wanted to give you some food for thought. As we move through this National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS, Lets pray for a greater understanding of the work that needs to be done to change this tide in the Black community. Let's pray that the CHURCH Black, White or otherwise will be a Balm in Gilead. Let's pray for compassion, love and understanding for people with HIV/AIDS. Let's pray for emotional and physical healing for people living with HIV/AIDS. Let's pray for testing in numbers beyond anything we can image. Let's pray for affordable health care and access to HIV medication, yes even in the United States there are people who do not have medication but need to be in treatment. Finally, Let's pray for unity around the issue of HIV/AIDS as a way to reduce the numbers of new cases and turn this tide around for all of God's people.

Thu., Mar. 22, 2012 at 10:29 pm UTC A caucasian women, heterosexual oh yeah person living with HUMAN IMMUNE DEFICIENCY VIRUS. Many times want to share my experience strength & hope, but find put on the outside because I am a white girl. There has been so much division in HIV community, based on, "age, race, religion, sexuality, lack of religion" it makes me sad hmm and somewhat angry. When my friend a black woman, passed away back in 1996, my heart broke, she allowed are common positive HIV status to share our fears and hopes. She brought me to a support group, which was all black women (WOMEN of Color) support group. Never ran into a white heterosexual support group in 24 years. Even though I felt not excepted because of my skin color she showed me an understanding that was like no other. We didn't see color we saw support. Since, then I don't share as much as I would like to because I feel discriminated within the HIV community. That is so very crazy. As if I received a better type of HIV. I can't deny the numbers that are affected. Last year, in the rural community another white straight man died he was diagnosed 6 months before his death because physicians, looked at his outsides, his wife and two kids, denied the some signs of shingles, swollen lymph nodes and then died of BurKettes Lymphoma (AIDS defining cancer). Rural America needs to wake up and your pastors need to come to our churches here. The wife through the grace of GOD is not positive. She so wants to talk share her story about the importance of ALL being tested. Our prominent white cowboy republican closed minded christians, don't make it easy. So come west!! Go to middle America and see the lack of support of all races. I thank you so very much for writing this. I always love your energy and the ability to speak from the heart! I do have a guest room. I do pray daily for all people within the HIV/AIDS community to join in union and that not one of us has to experience living or dying isolated or alone. Bless US

A Lowell man has pleaded not guilty to allegedly trying to pay someone to permanently blind his ex-wife with bleach during an annual family camping trip.
Francis Raney Jr., 46, was allegedly motivated to organize the attack due to his "deep hatred" for his ex-wife, according to report by The Lowell Sun.
Raney allegedly asked his friend, Timothy Elie, to carry out the deranged attack, however Elie went to the police instead. Elie reportedly told police that Raney said it would be a "bonus" if his ex died because of her injuries.

I'm very guilty of eating poorly at the end of the day. If I eat at all, it's not usually something very healthy. Lunch is my main meal (man do I love me some lunch) so often I just don't feel hungry. If I am, I'm too tired and lazy to do much cooking. Because of these things, I'm especially proud to have made up a fast, easy and healthy recipe that even my lazy ass is likely to make for dinner. The fact that there aren't many dishes involved is a HUGE plus. Dishes are my least favorite thing, 2nd only to Steely Dan.
Happy healthy eating!
Fun nutrition fact: Black beans are packed with fiber! One cup of them provides you with 60% of your daily value- plus- that same cup holds nearly 65% of your daily folate intake! Top that off with a whopping 30% of your daily protein, and you have a vegetarian's nutritional dream in a package that is tasty enough for even them most carnivorous of carnivores to enjoy.
Here's the link to the original recipe.
I'm going to have to set a rule for myself and start limiting my Martha recipes. That, or re-name my blog Marthaclecticims. Or maybe Good Things, Eclectic? That would be a huge pain, so I'll probably stick with trying more recipes from other bakers and chefs instead.
It does have to be said, MS has some damn good recipes on her site. When I'm trying something new for other people and not just myself, I like to play it somewhat safe. Going Martha is safe. I had two vegetarian friends over for dinner this weekend and this recipe was a hit!If you have a grill, give this a try for a healthy but flavorful and filling main or side dish.
Did I mention I got to use parsley and thyme form my garden? Tis the season!
One obvious comfort food for cold weather is soup. Not only is it warm and filling, but you can add very healthy ingredients to it that will get you the vitamins you need to avoid those nasty colds you catch this time of year. Another great thing about soup? It can be low in calories if you don't add cream, sugar and all those other things we say we'll try to limit but never do. (At least that's how I roll.) Sweet potatoes give this soup a naturally sweet taste and baking the potatoes right into the soup (not separately) give the brother a thick, starchy consistency.

Where to experience it: Qua Baths & Spa (www.harrahs.com/qua) at Caesars Palace, in Las Vegas.
What it is: An anti-sauna, basically. Once you step into the communal glass-and-tile room (big enough for eight spa-goers at once), and find yourself a spot on a heated bench, you can start breathing in mint—infused air-chilled to 55 degrees F. At the same time, you can watch as "snowflakes" (actually crystals made from soap and water) fall from the ceiling vents. The indoor snowstorm is merely to provide ambience, but believers say that a shot of extreme cold—especially after a stint in a hot tub or sauna—can help reduce hypertension and tighten pores.
Best for: Homesick Scandinavians.

Knicks-Nets Tickets Tumble for New York 'Panic Bowl' of Losers
Eben Novy-WilliamsTickets for tonight's game between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets are selling for less than half what they cost before the season, as the one-time playoff contenders have fallen to a combined 8-26 record.
The average resale price for the National Basketball Association rivals' first meeting this season -- dubbed the "Panic Bowl" by NBA TV analysts -- has fallen 51 percent to $186 since the start of the season, according to ticket aggregator TiqIQ.com. At $58, the cheapest ticket is about one third the price to get into their first meeting last season.
The contest in Brooklyn comes as the teams, who each play in $1 billion arenas, struggle to live up to the championship expectations of their owners. The Knicks (3-13) are tied for the fewest wins in the league and the Nets (5-13) have lost seven games by double digits.
"Nobody's paying attention," ESPN analyst Antonio Davis said in a telephone interview. "I don't think you can call it a rivalry until these teams right the ship."
The Knicks, who won the Atlantic Division last season, began with 12-1 odds to win the Eastern Conference title in 2014 and are now at 22-1, according to online sportsbook Bovada.lv. The Nets were 11-2 to win the Eastern Conference prior to the start of the season, according to Bovada. They're now 12-1.
Tickets for the first meeting between the two teams last season were listed for an average of $486, with the lowest price at $146. That game originally was scheduled as the first regular-season game in the Barclays Center before Superstorm Sandy postponed the contest three weeks. The average resale listing for tonight's game has dropped from $383 when the season began, TiqIQ said.
High Expectations
"The Knicks and Nets had high expectations before this season and have played well below those expectations," TiqIQ spokesman Chris Matcovich said in an e-mail. "This lack of production on the court has definitely impacted ticket prices not only for this game, but for upcoming games as well."
The average listing for Brooklyn's 35 remaining home games has fallen 17 percent to $189, the third biggest drop in the league this season behind the Cleveland Cavaliers (21 percent) and Denver Nuggets (24 percent), according to TiqIQ. While the Knicks are fourth on the list with a drop of 13 percent, their $279 average remains the highest in the league.
New York has lost nine consecutive games, and seven straight at home, tying a franchise record. Forward Carmelo Anthony, last season's NBA scoring champion, said the team is still searching for its identity.
"I think we're playing to lose rather than playing to win right now," Anthony said after the team's Dec. 1 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. "When you lose games the way we've been losing them at home, on the road, you start thinking a lot. You start playing a little tense. You start playing on your heels."
All-Star Acquisitions
Brooklyn during the offseason traded for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, a duo with 25 combined All-Star appearances and an NBA title playing together. The Nets gave up three first-round draft picks in the trade, and have an NBA-high payroll of $101.3 million, according to USA Today, while the Knicks are second at $86.9 million.
"I heard them say on NBA TV that it's the 'Panic Bowl,' that somebody has to get traded or fired if they lose that game," Davis said in an interview. "I don't think we're at that point yet, but this is New York, I've seen crazier things happen. If the loser, a couple weeks later, announces a firing or a trade, I wouldn't be too surprised."
Kidd Suspension
The Nets' first-year coach Jason Kidd had a bumpy start as well. He was suspended two games this season after pleading guilty to driving while ability impaired and fined $50,000 last week for intentionally spilling his drink to delay a game. He announced two days ago that assistant Lawrence Frank, who ESPN said is making $1 million this year, will have a reduced role with the team. Kidd said the change was a product of the two having "different philosophies."
"No doubt about it, there is some panic going on in Brooklyn," NBA TV analyst Greg Anthony said.
The two teams' early performance has fallen short of the expectations laid out by their owners. Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov said when he bought the Nets in 2010 that they'd win an NBA title by 2015. James Dolan in October told Knicks coaches and executives that he expected the team to win a championship this season, according to ESPN.
Knicks spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz declined in an e-mail to comment on the report.
Wayne McDonnell, an assistant professor of sports management at New York University, said the slow starts will not affect the value of either franchise, even if the losing continues through the season.
Most Valuable
The Knicks are the NBA's most valuable franchise at $1.1 billion, according to Forbes Magazine's annual rankings. The Nets are ninth at $530 million.
"Both franchises have a strong brand identity, state of the art facilities that offer a myriad of revenue-generating opportunities and loyal fan bases that desperately want to restore New York City to prominence within the NBA," McDonnell said. "Other markets might suffer from a disappointing season, but there is a resiliency that exists within the New York sports culture that always offers hope and optimism."
In the offseason, NBA Commissioner David Stern facilitated a meeting between the two owners to discuss what he called their "shared interests." Dolan downplayed the rivalry in a September news conference to announce that the two teams would co-host next season's All-Star game. He said New York is used to having multiple teams vying for support.
'Greater Heights'
"They are nothing but good and fun for the fans, good for business, and I think they push the teams that are involved with them to even greater heights," Dolan said on Sept. 25. "It's a good thing, and I expect that will continue to go on."
Davis, who played for the Knicks in 2005-06, said he wasn't surprised that fans are paying less to see either team.
"It's New York City, there's just so much competing for that fan's dollar," he said. "If you're not a hot topic and you're not worthy of their money, they can find a lot of other ways to spend that entertainment dollar."

JACKSON -- Tea party-backed challenger Chris McDaniel still isn't conceding to six-term Sen. Thad Cochran in the Mississippi Republican primary runoff, but some groups that spent millions supporting McDaniel are walking away.
McDaniel supporters are examining poll books to try to find people who voted in a Democratic primary June 3 and the Republican runoff Tuesday.
"This is being done to maintain the integrity of the election process and that a fair and honest election was held on behalf of all Mississippians," McDaniel said in a written statement Thursday.
Mississippi voters don't register by party, but state law bars a person from voting in one party's primary and the other party's runoff.
Cochran topped McDaniel by nearly 6,800 votes Tuesday after an expensive and hard-fought race in which tea party groups tried to unseat a former Appropriations Committee chairman. Cochran finished with 51 percent.
McDaniel criticizes Cochran for courting Democrats in a state where most blacks vote Democratic and most whites vote Republican. Turnout jumped in several majority-black counties, boosting Cochran.
Club for Growth, which spent more than $3.1 million to help McDaniel, acknowledges Cochran as the winner.
"We are proud of the effort we made in Mississippi's Senate race and we congratulate the winner," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said Wednesday. "We expect that Senator Cochran and others gained a new appreciation of voter frustration about the threats to economic freedom and national solvency."
McDaniel spokesman Noel Fritsch did not immediately return messages Thursday, and the campaign didn't say how many counties' roll books are being examined or how much an election appeal might cost, if there is one. Republican executive committees in each of the 82 counties have a July 7 deadline to certify the election results. State law says an appeal would begin with the state GOP executive committee.
Mississippi Tea Party chairwoman Laura Van Overschelde, who has been involved in the McDaniel campaign, said Thursday that workers think they have found nearly 800 instances of Hinds County residents marked as voting in the June 3 Democratic primary and Tuesday's Republican runoff. However, she provided no documentation to support that, and she would not say whether her number includes an error that county GOP officials acknowledge occurred with about 200 people at one precinct.
Pete Perry, the Hinds County Republican chairman and paid consultant for a political action committee that supported Cochran, said election workers in one precinct Tuesday improperly marked about 200 people as having voted June 3. He said they corrected the errors Tuesday by marking through the word "voted" in a June 3 column and rewriting it in the June 24 column. He said votes in that precinct will not be invalidated.
Perry said it's fine for McDaniel supporters, or others, to examine poll books to look for errors, "But I think it's bogus for them to come out here and give numbers that they know are bogus."

From a programmers point of view, I must say that the SP has an intelligent OS and architecture. I allways get pissed of when something would be possible to do only it's not because of lazy/stupid OS programmers. Not here. You can do all your stereo tricks and stuff and it has a great sample offset feature, and a nice modulation matrix.
Of course it should have had resonance (the SP+ does) at least highpass filtering (it's actually possible to do the latter through a trick).
I use mine mostly as a versatile drum module. You can make the samples react very well to velocity and such things, and since you get four mono outputs (configurable, again, thanks to a good OS) you can run it through all kinds of processing.
I must confess though, I got mine very cheap, and probably I wouldn't be so impressed if I'd had to pay more. Afterall, any PC can do most of the things it can nowadays. Still, for having a simple and steady drum box with exchangable sounds, it's perfect, and it does sound alot better than your average soundcard. Only 1HE also. And unlike most manufactorers, Peavey do care about their old gear customers.
5 out of 5 for price to performance ratio!

While there is a cam or two on the market that has a wider expansion range and can handle shallower cracks, the Master Cam is a worthy competitor and an expertly manufactured piece of pro.
Weighing just 1 pound, 7 ounces, this down-filled sack has no frills. No Gore-Tex or other waterproof coatings to repel moisture and no extra, hidden pockets for your snicker bars. It's just a simple pairing of paper-thin nylon and 800-fill down.
The generous coating of sticky rubber and a roomy toe box make the Grandstones perfect for chimneys and offwidths, but they flail on smaller cracks that require a sleeker profile.

"Do you think I could be a detective on my own, then?" asked Ira, adding sheepishly, "I don't really have any friends." He stared down at the parquet floor and wished he had kept the thought to himself."You won't end up being a detective anyway, Ira," Auden pointed out, "You'd have to be really smart to do that, and really observant. How can you be observant if you're looking down at the ground all the time?"

Tommy Dorsey

Tommy Dorsey was a legendary American band leader and jazz trombonist during the first half of Earth's 20th century. Among his bands' early singers was the equally legendary Frank Sinatra.
The desk sergeant at the SFPD Precinct 12 told Beverly Crusher that he had two ticket to the Tommy Dorsey dance before giving her a piece of chewing gum. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
In an early draft of the script, the desk sergeant instead referred to Charlie McCarthy rather than Dorsey. The exchange continued with Crusher mistaking Charlie McCarthy with Joseph McCarthy, stating "McCarthy? Oh, you mean the man who hunted Communist witches." [1]

Many applications allow the user to input and edit data using forms. If this is done in an MDI environment, managing the sizes of the MDI frame windows in which the forms are displayed can look like a daunting task. This article shows you how to call MFC functions to size the MDI child frame window to fit the form contained in the form view within it.
Look in your derived form view class for a CFormView::OnInitialUpdate() function override. This is usually inserted for you if you created the form view class with AppWizard or ClassWizard. Go to the location of the implementation of the override in your code. Next, look for a call to ResizeParentToFit() that is on a line by itself. If you find such a call, replace the line with the code shown in bold below. If there is no such call, then add the code shown in bold to the implementation of OnInitialUpdate():
void CMyFormView::OnInitialUpdate() { CFormView::OnInitialUpdate(); GetParentFrame()->RecalcLayout(); ResizeParentToFit(FALSE); ... }
The size of the client area of the view's MDI child frame window should now match the size of the dialog template used to place the controls on the form.
The sample code provided with this article shows how to resize your form view frame windows to fit their forms, as outlined above. However, you probably don't want the user to be able to resize or maximize the window thereby defeating the purpose of calling CScrollView::ResizeParentToFit(). This is because MFC places the form in the top right corner of the client area of the MDI Child frame window. If you want to prevent the user from resizing or maximizing the frame window, disable the WS_THICKFRAME and WS_MAXIMIZEBOX styles, and add the WS_BORDER style to the window. This can be easily done using the CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow() override placed in your code for you by AppWizard. This is, of course, usually in a CChildFrame class. Here's how the sample does it:
BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) { if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) ) return FALSE; cs.style &= ~(WS_THICKFRAME); cs.style &= ~(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX); cs.style |= WS_BORDER; return TRUE; }
If you have any questions about what I've done with these techniques, please feel free to contact me anytime, or post a message in the message board below!

"A Gun to the Head" resembles nothing so much as a senior project by a film-school student.
The third feature by Blaine Thurier, keyboardist for Canuck indie rock band the New Pornographers, "A Gun to the Head" resembles nothing so much as a senior project by a film-school student who isn't quite as clever as he assumes. There's an amateurish look to much of this noirish dark comedy — the blocking of fight scenes is especially maladroit — and the derivative plot rather too obviously incorporates influences as diverse as Quentin Tarantino, John Cassavetes and Edgar G. Ulmer. But some of the deadpan dialogue and character eccentricities might amuse indulgent fest auds and vid renters.
Bad decisions and worse consequences propel the shaggy-dog storyline about Trevor (Tygh Runyan), a now-respectable young Vancouverite who once ran wild with Darren (Paul Anthony), his loose-cannon cousin. When Trevor steps out for wine during his wife's dinner party for her randy boss, he is unwillingly re-immersed in his checkered past as Darren desperately draws on his help in placating an aggrieved drug dealer. As the antagonist, Hrothgar Mathews effortlessly pilfers the pic as an erudite thug who sounds reasonable, and waxes philosophical, even while making good on his soft-spoken threats.A Gun to the Head

This phone has many quality features and is extremely easy to use. I have added a memory card to my phone and I have been able to save hundreds of pictures. I use the USB cable to transfer these pictures to my computer, where I am able to create slide shows that are set to music. The alarm clock feature is another feature that I utilize. When an alarm is set, you have the ability to hit the snooze button just as you would on a traditional alarm clock. I am also pleased with the profile information that can be entered on each contact. For some of my contacts, I have added their mailing address, email address, and even their IM id. The ease of adding a picture and a special ringtone to a contact is a great feature as well. I also have certain family members birthdays included and put them on the calender and have scheduled a reminder for them for each year. This way, I can send them a text message and wish them a happy birthday. I love the fact that I can have an internal and external wallpaper with this phone. I have 4 grandchildren and I love to rotate pictures of them on both of these displays. So, if you are looking for a phone that is simple to use that is packed with many useful features, then this is the phone.

This is the worst sounding phone ever. It's like chalk on a blackboard. Whether on speaker on not. Also keys don't respond well. I don't use cell much, now stuck with this I will only use for emergency. My husband has the same phone he hates it too. Always dropping calls, and not user friendly. He has bluetooth which helps the sound . Do not get if you are not a bluetooth user.

Comments about AT&T Wireless LG AT&T Grey Wireless Cellular Phone:
This phone is easy to use as everything about it is simple and logical. It has automatic settings that affirm the completion of a call or text. The preset ringtones and reminders are pleasing to the ear. It is lightweight, easy on the eyes, and the battery holds a charge longer than any other phone I have owned. Importantly, the coverage is also the best yet for me, and I live in a remote area with many huge trees. I don't use all the features at this time. I love knowing they're there and will be as easy to use as the basics I'm currently using.

We absolutely love our LG A340s. Everything about them is great. Don't really use the camera too much, but the wife uses hers and the pictures are good. We also use them for texting which can be a little bit overwhelming due to no qwerty keyboard. Our next phones will have the qwerty keyboard. Highly recommend the LG A340 to anyone and every one.
