Title: The Encounter
John Danners - 18yo college student
Casey O'Brien - 18yo college student
Scene: At the camp - deep in the woods
John was so glad he had finally convinced his best friend to attend the Outward Bound program. It would teach both of them survival in the wilderness and to teach total team work among their group. John and Casey were sitting at the camp fire when a huge screaming noise passes closely over head. The heat and wind were tremendous. What ever it was that passed overhead had knocked many limbs and tops from the surrounding trees and crash landed nearby in a huge explosion. Much debris falls on the boys.
Casey pushes off a huge tree branch limb and gets up dusting himself off, he sees John doing the same. There are small fires all over the place ... nothing too big to start a forest fire. Seeing it glow in the darkness he says, "Let's go check it out John.." As Casey starts to run to the strange glowing object.
John finally manages to get the limb off him and brush the glowing embers off. He jumps up and says loudly, "Wow! Seems a meteor has crashed." Both the boys run as fast as they can towards the strange Blue Green glow. When John and Casey arrive, the bright blue green glow lights up the whole area.
"Wow" says Casey as he jumps down towards the rock. Looking at it in amazement. "Have you ever seen a rock grow like this?" walking closer and closer to the rock putting my left hand on it. "Its not even hot ... it's ... ice cold"
John jumps down into the crater created by the impact. The glow creates strange shadows every where. John says excitedly, "Man, this is so cool. This thing is glowing like some kind of jewel."
"Ya ... and to think we found it and its all ours" Hugging the rock, Casey feels a strange radiation enter his body filling it with weird sensations and chills. He backs up a bit from the rock a bit spooked by what he felt.
John sees Casey's reaction when he hugs the rock. John asks worriedly, "What's happened? Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I ... I ... I just felt something weird happen when I hugged the rock. Maybe we should get someone to help us or ...or ... I don't know" Casey turns around to starts heading back to their camp.
John looks at the brightly glowing meteor. He says wistfully, "If we walk off, someone else will take it and get all the credit. Just think, we could make lots of money by selling it."
"I dunno John, just something doesn't feel right about this meteorite" Casey says while rubbing his arms and shoulders like he's freezing cold when its over 80 out. John wonders what's going on with Casey as he stands there almost shivering and you begin to notice something different about Casey. John stares at Casey as his clothes begin to become big on him. The change was slow, but noticeable. John jumps into the crater and takes hold of the meteor. A sudden wave of intense sensations run all through his body. He feels a stabbing cold reach to his very soul.
John stumbles back, and falls. He says in a gasping surprised voice, "OMG ... that was soo .. weird." He shivers violently as he get to his feet and runs towards camp behind Casey. He no longer wants anything to do with the space rock.
Casey runs as fast as he can towards the camp site where he and John set up. He feels his clothes getting looser as he looks back to see where John is ... his some what long brunette hair gets in his way and in his eyes ... it's like his hair is getting longer.
John runs as fast as he could. He watches as Casey begins to shrink ... his hair grows longer before his amazed eyes. Suddenly, John realizes his clothes were getting lager on him too. He begins to feel fear. His hair starts to grow longer ... he is scared.
Casey finally reaches camp stopping and panting near the campfire. Shortly after John arrives panting ... both of us running as fast as we could. "What the hell was with that meteorite ... John is shocked as Casey's voice is now the sound of a girl's voice. Casey's clothes are huge on him now and beginning to bag. Casey notices John's long blonde hair as it continues to grow.
John points to Casey and says in a very female voice, "Casey, Just what's happening? I swear that you are ... becoming a girl!"
John looks at himself .. he realizes he too is changing. He has no idea what to do or say.
Casey stares at John as his best friend is starting to change, his voice is more sensual and girly then before. Casey covers his mouth as Johns chest grows and grows ... his B cup breasts blossom out. Then sees his outfit starts to become more form fitting and his jeans become tight and he sees John's shirt become very, very tight as you can tell his breasts are firm and nipples are hard. Casey Hopes the same thing isn't happen to him as its happening to John.
John says in an incredulous female voice, "This is impossible ... it can't happen. That meteorite ... it's gotta have some kind of weird properties or radiation or ... Casey, what are we gonna do?? What are we gonna tell everyone?" There are suddenly faint voices calling ... growing louder with every passing moment.
Multitude of calling voices, "Caaaayyysseee!!! Syyyyylllvviiaaaa!! Where are you?"
They look at each other with mounting fear on their faces. John sees Casey's body change rapidly. His top and jeans change along with his body. His hips widen ... his waist narrows ... he grows a beautiful female bottom. His nipples poke out as his breasts blossoms into beautiful B's. Casey's hair falls around his face and shoulders in very cute curls ... John is totally beside himself. The sound of several people approaching grows louder.
They gulp as they see flashlights and people come closer. They huddle together close, so scared to have people see us as girls. A light is shined on Johns face. The voice says, "There you two are..
They look at each other confused as to what's going on. About a dozen people walk into their camp suddenly with very bright spotlight type flashlights. One of the men sees the 2 frightened girls huddled together by the campfire.
A large grin crosses his face as he says in a relieved voice, "There you 2 are. You had us so worried! It is good to see that your survival instincts are good. Was a very cleaver idea to set up camp and wait for us." He walks up to them and takes them each by a hand and helps them to their feet. "Now come with us, we will take you back to the rest of the group."
They both think this guy is crazy. Casey asks "Um ...what are you talking about ... the rest of the group? We don't even know who you are?" John staying a bit quiet as she's kind shy. "Me and John aren't going anywhere till you tell us what's going on?"
The man looks at the girls with his mouth slightly open. He says softly, Casey, I'm Sylvia's dad ... you don't recognize me? He turns to John and says in an incredulous voice as many more people enter their camp, "You don't recognize me Sylvia? I'm your father ... did you hit your head or something? Did that thing that hit hurt you or something?"
Both girls look at each other in total surprise. John gasps out, "My ... father?? You're who??"
John looks at the guy as all of a sudden he starts to remember him as his dad. John says "okay I remember" Casey looks at John as he notices that Sylvia clothes were a bit looser on her then a second ago and she was a few inches shorter. Sylvia's dad leads them through the woods..
By the time the girls are led to the camp, the have shrunk very small. They are the size of preschoolers and the clothes no longer fit them. There are many women in camp tending to the children. The giggles and screeches of kids at play is every where.
The Man that has the girls by the hand takes them to a very pretty woman and says, "Hi, Martha, we found them in the wood about 6,000 yards that way." He points to the north. "They are alright, although a bit confused."
The woman takes the girls by the hand and replies, "Thanks a whole lot Tom. I have no Idea how they managed to get away from me. I will give them both a bath and complete check out to make sure there's nothing wrong with them."
Tom nods and the large group of men depart leaving the girls in Martha's Charge. Looking up at this strange woman, Casey and Sylvia gulp as they were 18 year old boys no more then an hour ago and now they look like 4 year old little girls. Casey and Sylvia wear only their previous tight shirts which are now almost engulfing them. They lost most of there clothes as they shrank and were brought here. Both shirts smelled of pee since Casey and Sylvia had accidents along the way.
Martha kneels down and hugs both girls tightly at the same time. She says softly, "You girls had us so worried. Don't ever wander off like that again ... hear?" Both girls nod helplessly. Neither of them have any idea what is happening or how to make everyone understand ... they aren't who the camp personnel think they are. Martha takes Sylvia by the hand and picks up Casey. She walks them into one of the huts into a very well stocked bathroom.
She coos, "I'm going to give both of you a bath and put you in diapers. I think you should be in the crib for wandering off like that. I will give you your supper there."
Casey musters up the courage to talk to this Martha. She says, "Were not who you think we are.. I'm Casey and he's John we were camping in the Outward Bound camp. We saw a strange meteorite crash and we touched it. It pretty much changed us into the little girls that you see before you" thinking she's not going to believe it but give it a shot anyway.
Martha looks down at Casey for a minute before her eyes sparkle and a huge smile crosses her lips. John says, "Yea, we can show you where it landed if ya want."
Martha laughs pleasantly and coos, "You girls have the most vivid imaginations I have ever seen." She then pulls Casey's top off leaving him standing there nude. She repeats the process with John. As they stand they and shyly try to cover themselves, Martha begins to draw the bath. She pours a pink gel into the water. As many soap bubbles form ... the very pleasant aroma of strawberries fills the air.
"We're serious" both Casey and John cover up their now little vaginas ... they really don't want this strange woman seeing them. Martha comes back and picks up John and Casey putting them in the bath. Martha washes everything thoroughly on the 2 little girls before washing their hair and taking them out of the tub. Drying each separately.
Martha giggles pleasantly as she replies, "You girls ... I think at story time tonight, you can tell that story to the rest of the children ... it will make a wonderful story." She then rubs them all over with a sweet cherry smelling cream. It makes their skin soft and very smooth. She Picks Casey up and puts her on the counter. She tells John to stay put like a good girl until she's done. She puts Casey in a cute Huggies nighttime disposable and powders her well. She fastens the tapes snugly. She bends down and blows softly in Casey's tummy several times before putting a cute pair of baby Mickey Mouse and friends rumba panties on her.
Casey giggles and laughs as Martha blew raspberries on his tummy. She then picks up Casey setting her down on the floor telling her not to move. Then she picks up Sylvia ... laying her down on a night time disposable Huggies diaper. Working in the powder ... pulling up the front taping the sides. Martha tickles Sylvia as she pulls up a pair of cute red rumba panties with strawberries all over them. Martha pats Sylvia's diapered bottom.
Sylvia giggles and kicks happily like any infant as she is tickled and diapered. Martha picks the girls up and carries them out of the bathroom into another room. There are many cribs. She puts them in adjacent cribs and kisses them both. She places a pillow beside their heads and props a large bottle of white liquid on the pillow with the nipple in their mouths.
Martha coos, "All right girls ... nighty night. I will come and check on you in a little while. Pleasant dreams." She turns off the main light. The soft glow of the night light fills the room with a warm pleasant glow. Martha leaves ... the door shuts with a soft click.
As soon as the light is clicked off. " Psst ... John! We have to get out of here" Casey looks down at the diaper trying to get it off but can't as his fingers don't seem to work right." Psst ... John!"
John rolls over and whispers back after spitting the bottle's nipple from his mouth, "I know, but how are we supposed to do that?" John stands up and attempts to climb over the rail ... it proves to be too much for him and he plops back into the crib in frustration. "I can't climb over and I can't figure out how it locks ... seems like some kind of advanced thing."
"I don't think its advanced John! I think our minds are regressing.." says Casey. They both think this is a horrible thought ... since neither wants this to happen. "I got it ..." Casey says standing up till he pauses and looks down at his diaper in shock.
John looks over and sees Casey's expression. He says in a worried voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"
John rattles the crib rail as he tries to get it to unlock. He looks the simple bar and catch of the lock ... but the mechanics of it still eludes him.
"Um ... John, I think I just used my diaper" Casey says afraid to do anything as the wet feeling keeps growing and growing in her diaper. Casey doesn't even want to sit down because this is so disgusting to him. She stands there almost in tears. " I think I'm regressing further than you"
John plops back on his bottom. He is getting to be frustrated. He says, "The diaper thing has to be for later. How we gonna get out of the crib? I can't make hide nor hair of how it all works." He kicks the leaver with his foot in frustration ...There is a click, and the rail falls suddenly with a loud clunk. John jumps back against the other rail and says in a surprised voice, "Casey!! It opened ... I just kicked it ... and it opened!" John crawls to the edge of the mattress and manages to climb to the floor."
Casey goes to the rail ... "Come over and help me get mine undone ... Hurry." Casey says a bit in panic as he remembers Martha is suppose to come in a bit to check up on them. Casey doesn't want to see her because she didn't believe their story and also he has a wet diaper.
John waddles over to Casey's crib. He sees the lever and pulls on it as hard as he can. There is a click and the rail falls suddenly banging against John's arms. He begins to scream and cry like any baby that just had this happen. He plops on his bottom and wails. There was no serious damage, but it did hurt.
Casey diapered butt first gradually gets down from the crib with a plop. Casey not liking that at all as the wet diaper is pressed up against him. Casey waddles over to John covering up his mouth. "Shhhh ...you have to be quiet, otherwise Martha will come ..." They hear footsteps ...
John whimpers behind Casey's hand as he nods. The approaching footsteps cause both babies to shiver as their new found freedom dwindles with each sound. John stands on his wobbly feet and pulls Casey with him. He waddles over to the door and stands off to one side slightly hidden by a huge Teddy Bear propped against the wall. As the door opens, John pulls Casey behind him into the hall. There is a Foyer Table with a long white cloth draped across it. Both babies dive under and to their relief find a safe hiding place. They can see out. They see Martha enter the hall with a look of fear on it. She calls loudly, "Caaassseeyyy ... Sssyyylllvvviiaaaa. Where in the world are you 2?"
Casey and John pant as that took lot out of them. Both babies lay on the ground on their tummy and watch the frantic activity in the hall.
Casey worries quietly, "What are we going to do John.??? I don't think were getting out of here and if we do, how are 2 babies to make it through the woods?"
They hear Martha looking around for them. A few female Nannies join in their search. Not knowing how well their hiding place is going to be, they begin to worry about being found.
Martha can be heard telling the others as they walk down the hall, "I really don't know how they are doing it. This is the 2nd time they've gotten away. Last time I saw them, they were in their cribs in the nursery ... " The voices trail off out of earshot as the women look for them.
John says softly, "I don't know what to do ... except to try and find an open door or something. It seems we did it before ... sos we can again."
Casey snaps, "John, they're not just going to leave a door open"
John peeks his head from under the table and sees an open door. John grabs Casey's hand and they waddle as fast as they can to the open door. Once they cleared the door ... there is a sound from behind the door that frightens them both.
A pleasant and happy female voice says, "There you 2 are. You're both amazing. I can't understand how you're managing to get out. Now be good girls and come to Nana."
She approaches the 2 babies rapidly to try and catch them. Casey grabs John's arm and suddenly pulls him off to one side. The fall was short and they landed in a soft pile of sand inside the storm culvert. Casey and John have an urge to cry. They manage to over come it and waddle towards the far end of the drain.
John asks softly in the echoing pipe, "If we can gets outta here, where are we gonna go? What we gonna do to reverse this mess?"
Casey thinks about it as he never thought that far ahead. "We have to get to that meteorite that's what caused all of this. I think that might be the answer." They reach the end of the drain...When they hear familiar voices..
The babies manage to nearly elude the searching Nanas as they slowly proceed towards the crash site. The blue green glow getting brighter and brighter. There are still small smoldering fires everywhere from the impact. Both babies fall unceremoniously into the crater next to the meteor. IT is now covered with a thick coat of ice and is radiating cold.
Several Nanas gather around the crater's rim. Martha coos, "There you both are ... I'm so glad you're not hurt."
They both look up at the Nannies and Martha surrounding the crater. There is no escape. Both look at the meteorite and think that's the answer. They both waddle over to the meteorite and hug it ... absolutely nothing happens except both babies get a good dose of cold. Martha and another Nana descend into the crater and picks them up and carries them back towards the Nursery Camp. John looks to Casey and says in a gurgling voice, "It no work!! What we gonna do now?"
"I don't know John" Casey let's out a little bit of a fart as he fills his diaper more. He is in shock about it and about being carried by a Nanny same as John is being carried by Martha.
Casey gurgles, "Me need to thinks on its ... we don't have much times left" looking over at John as it looks like Martha is talking to John.
Martha coos to John softly, "Ok Sylvia, you're a very smart baby to get out this much. Both your mommy's and daddies are here to get you. I am so glad you're not hurt." She checks John's diaper and finds the she has wet herself.
John looks to Casey and says with fear in his voice, "We gots ma ma's n da das? We no ever gets outta this .. we're gonna grow up n be ... girls!"
Martha looks at John and coos softly, "Who said that you two were growing up?" Both John and Casey hear this as the Nanny checks Casey's diaper seeing that she needs a change.
They all arrive back to the camp. They see familiar faces and both John and Casey's jaw drops.
John's ... girlfriend rushes up and takes him from Martha. She kisses him all over his face and hugs him tenderly. She coos, "Mommy's here sweetie. No be afraid." A man walks over and pats him on his wet bottom and says softly, "Dada was worried sick over your getting out and running off like that." John can't believe his eyes .. the man ... is ... HIM!!
Casey has the same discovery. His mommy is his ... or used to be ... girlfriend ... and his daddy ... is him ... neither baby can believe it as they sit and start to cry.
Both of them sound just like babies that are upset because they have messy and wet diapers.

Several men with assault rifles and hand guns crashed a Mayor's Against Illegal Guns National Day to Demand Action event in Indianapolis, Indiana on Thursday and stood silently as the state chapter of Moms Demand Action held a rally in favor of limiting the availability of military style weapons and universal background checks.
At least two or three men showed up at the rally site before the event began and engaged in a discussion about gun regulations with the group, two participants in the action told ThinkProgress. The armed men — who were later joined by another man carrying a hand gun and a woman who runs Indiana Moms Against Gun Control — insisted that they had a right to carry the loaded weapons:
Watch local news coverage of the event:
A member of Moms Demand Action said that she felt unsettled by their presence and said that the organizers would have to think twice before holding another event, particularly one where children could be present.
Members of Moms Demand Action also attended an event at the White House today, during which President Obama called on Congress to pass sensible gun regulations and urged the nation to remember the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Creative has announced the launch of its new series of Gigaworks speakers – with a Series II incarnation for the T20 and the T40, and an all-new T3 system.
The T20 and T40 revamps are designed to build on the basis of the original models, but "refining their acoustic capabilities and design", says Creative. The BasXPort technology will combine "excellent dynamics with rich extended bass without a subwoofer", and the silk dome tweeters with glass-fibre drivers will apparently "produce crystal-clear highs".
The new T3 speakers are slated as high-end 2.1 speakers comprised of "compact and stylish" satellite speakers with audiophile-quality drivers for what Creative claims provide full mid-range and clear highs.
SLAMmin' subwoofer
The "SLAM" design of the subwoofer uses three drivers that are supposed to deliver "deep, refined" bass, while the wired remote has a volume control, aux-in, headphone out and the increasingly trendy power saving Low Standby Power tech for the environmentally friendly consumer.
The T3 system's out in Europe in September for about 199 Euros (£160), while the T40 and T20 Series II will be out in October and cost 129 Euros (£104) and 99 Euros (£80) respectively.

Here's greetings from the Border-land
Where the wind blows to beat the band,
O'er valleys fair and mountains high
Kissed by the sun from a cloudless sky.
Where the soldier boy with his ready gun
Tramps the desert under a scorching sun.
Yes, this is the land where the cacti grow
And the long-eared burro tries to crow.
Where the centipede walks on a hundred legs
And the rattlesnake lays its soft-shelled eggs
The tarantula too, and vinagroon
Bask in the sunshine and lazily roam
Over the rocks and through the sand
Away out here on the Border-land.

"Ex-wife who made false rape claims faces prison," by Richard Savill, Telegraph, 30 September 2006, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=QQCRTELZSKFN1QFIQMGSFGGAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2006/09/30/nrape30.xml (from Mangan's).
A woman who falsely cried rape against her former husband was facing jail yesterday after being convicted of perverting the course of justice.
The judge told Henderson she had "forced the two men to appear in a public court, face complete strangers and give evidence and be cross-examined about painful, embarrassing and intimate details".
Mr Cooke told the court: "It was quite shocking to have three or four police officers arrest you, manhandle you and take you away for something you've never done."
Adjourning sentence for reports, the judge warned Henderson, the mother of a daughter of 16 and a 20-year-old son, a soldier, that she could face a lengthy jail term.
Meanwhile, Elisabet Sunde, a European sexual predator who victimized in America, remains free…

Previously, the collection of such data was integrated with other surveys, such as National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), Population Census (SP), and Inter-censal Population Survey (SUPAS).
The first Sakernas was conducted in 1976, then conducted anually during the period 1977-1978. During 1986-1993, Sakernas was conducted quarterly in all provinces in Indonesia, only since 1994 until 2001 Sakernas was conducted yearly, every August of the year.

Palm Treo 650 (CDMA)

Unhappy with my Treo
I am admittedly beyond low tech when it comes to my phones. Up until the Treo, I sported a clunky Sanyo, which looked silly, but got incredible reception. I used to walk into the cell phone store and tell the salesman that I didn't care if the phone made me lunch, I just wanted it to make and receive calls as consistently as possible. I decided to upgrade so that I had PDA and internet capabilities.
I am so frustrated with this phone in terms of its reception. I am constantly roaming event when I'm standing outside in the middle of an urban area. My calls are constantly dropped and I'm like a bad commercial because my calls frequently break up.
That said, I like the keyboard and have not as many problems with web access and texting.
Charging Caution
I realize i'm late in reviewing this report but as you read on you'll understand why. I've had the Treo 650 for a year and 9 mos give or take - my 2 years would have been up in march. The phoen itself I think overall met almost all of my needs and excelled above others I wasn't expecting. But I caution everyone when it comes to charging their phone(s). According to Verizon Tech's in a local Corp store, charging the 650 and maybe other phones for extended periods can be hazardous to you and your phone/battery. Let me explain, due to personal circumstances I put my phone on to charge on a Saturday night, and having 2 phones, combined with other stuff, forgot about it til monday morning. At which point the phone was DED, no Dead... And upon visiting the local experts was informed that not only did the battery get fried but so did the phone. Poofffff - it was gone. Do not pass go, do not blah blah blah. Several hundred $$ later I was the hesitant owner of a Treo 700p - which i've had about a week now, and need to return/exchange etc because the bluetooth stopped working. I'm not a happy camper.
So to summarize: The Treo 650
Pro's: Great overall phone, mostly reliable and easily resettable except for having to remove the battery cover, battery life was better than expected at 3 days +-, using bluetooth, moderate phone calls, web etc. and that's with poor signal strength 8+ hrs a day @ work. I'm finding the 700p has less battery life. Web was mostly reliable, with the occasional lockup or too big a page error.
Con's: If you charge your phone for more than 4 hours as in overnight, be forwarned as it may not survive. Now i'm not one to watch my phone like a pot of water, and with the 700p have to plug it in when I get home from work, and remember to unplug it before bedtime for fear of the KILLER CHARGER.
AD reviews continues below...
LOVE it!
Realized I had a review ready-to-go in an email to a friend...only gave 4.5 stars because of lack of EVDO, flash for camera, and VGA camera. Read on...
How can you NOT love this thing? Q or no Q it rocks - already have 400+ songs on a SD card, two seinfeld eps and a Simpsons Halloween. Played solitaire while waiting for tax class, got all my To-Do's and calendars synched, and I can *almost* text message while driving! I have unnaturally large stubby fingers apparently - I can never hit the key I want. Didn't get the data plan so I won't be setting up my email (do I really need to see my spam on the road - or Pauline's jokes)? :) I also bought and downloaded 2 books yesterday. It's like my new best friend when the other kids won't play.
Best move I've made with a phone, period.
Palm Trials and Errors
I would have to say that overall the phone is useful and gives me the use that I am lookig for. I previously had the Blackberry 7130 and I turned in my first 7130 within 8 months after going for 7 1/2 months of frustration and wanting to throw the phone out the door. My Blackberry kept rebooting and locking up. The Palm keeps loosing a single which I would hope Verizon works on these issues and I will keep enjoying the PDA aspects of this phone, Nothing is perfect and until phone manufacturers make the perfect phone I will work thru the small problems i have with the Palm 650.
Great for nerds, except for the battery life.
I have the Bell Mobility version of this phone which seems not to have many of the problems users from other carriers report. It has built-in voice tagging for bluetooth devices. It has bluetooth dial-up networking. If you don't put your hand over the speaker on the back of the phone, the speakerphone works well. I haven't experienced any crashes yet. Surprisingly, it has a newer version of Palm OS than my Tungsten E2.
The biggest problem I have is the battery life. It's appalling. I need to recharge the phone everyday, even after very little usage. After charging the phone overnight, I unplugged it and put it beside my briefcase, but somehow forgot to take it to work with me. The phone was on, but the PDA and 1X connection were off. When I returned home 9 hours later, the battery was down to 52%! Bell Mobility assures me that this is normal, and that the phone doesn't need warranty work. They exchanged the battery, which didn't help. My Tungsten E2 lasts about a month between recharges, and my low end Audiovox 8910 (don't ask) lasted 4 or 5 days, so I don't know what's up with the Treo.
I was also disappointed that my Palm WiFi SDIO card isn't supported.
- Endlessly customizable with 3rd party software.
- *THE* smartphone for Linux users.
- Good SDK/developer support from Palm.
- Great screen (I don't miss the E2 screen as much as I expected)
- Non-volatile file system is handy since running out of battery power WILL happen.
- You'll need to purchase about 10 batteries from Palm if you plan on taking this phone on a camping trip, and you'll feel like you're purchasing 10 copies of Windows ME.
- No WiFi support even though every other Palm device of the Treo 650's generation supports it.
Best PDA Phone on the Planet !!!!
This is the best phone I've ever had...
No complaints...
All my friends using this phone say the same thing....
Best phone they have ever had as well....
Buy one....
Especially if your name is
Louie or Chris.....
Awesome Tool/Phone, Great Choice
I think that Palm really put their backs into this one. It's an excellent phone, especially for Sprint. The only thing I kind of wish the 50 had was the Windows software as opposed to the Palm OS. Overall, I've been very pleased. It's cool to be able to edit my papers on the go, use AIM and keep myself organized with the calendar/tasks. Email at my finger tips is also another definate plus. Also, I wish that there were more customization options.
Treo 650 - Very poor choice
The Treo 650 has a number of nice features ... if you are looking for a PDA. However, if you are looking for a cell phone, keep looking.
1. Volume and quality of speakerphone makes this useless in the car as mild road noise overwhelms it.
2. Reception and signal strength are an absolute joke compared to any other cell phone I've used. I also now own a Moto 815 and have spent several days comparing these two phones, side by side, as I travel through different areas. It is difficult to comprehend there could be such a startling difference.
3. Volume of handset is very inadequate. If the reception and signal strength are at their highest with little extraneous noise, it is okay. Outside of those parameters, it is a struggle to hear the other person. Again, compared with the Moto 815, incredible contrast.
4. How wonderful it is to spend $300 on a high powered PDA phone with numerous bells and whistles ... only to find ... it doesn't come with preinstalled voice command software!!!! Further, you find you get to spend an additional $25 or so to purchase a 3rd party solution. Finally, you find that the morons at Palm didn't include the hooks in their firmware to allow the third party voice command software to be initiated by pushing the button on the paired bluetooth device. LMAO Dooooohhhhh
I guess if you make the majority of your calls in a very high signal strength area ... in an environment where there is minimal extraneous noise ... and you don't require a bluetooth head set with full functionality ... and your needs are 90% swayed towards pda capabilities and 10% or less towards the cell phone capabilities ... the Treo 650 may be the perfect choice for you. If you fall outside these categories, do yourself a favor and evaluate other offerings.
All in one
This phone is great!
*qwerty keyboard--buttons stick up so easy to use.
*great OS, lots of software options, check out treocentral.com
*easy to use controls
*very "customizable"
*great reception
*slim design for all it carries.
*SD memory expansion
*works well as an mp3 player, but it eats the battery
*good fun and great pda teamed together
*sometimes gets into reset cycles if you use old software
*talk time could be longer
treo 650 for sprint GOOD!!!
i love this phone

The Carousel Bar & Lounge
Our Classic New Orleans Hotel Bar
We've been spinning for 70 years
Open 7 days a week from 11:00 A.M. – until
"We loved our stay at the Monteleone! The location cannot be beat – in a great area in the French Quarter – step out the door and you are strolling down Royal St. The lobby is beautiful and large, with several places to wait for groups to gather. The Carousel Bar off the lobby is very fun, and we loved the Pimm's Cup! …We were able to have a nice dinner without leaving the hotel. The food was delicious and service amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about the Monteleone. Thanks for a great time!" ~ Elizabeth E. (TripAdvisor)
Entertainment Schedule
The Carousel Lounge
Take a seat and relax in our elegant lounge
A New Orleans Bar With a Story
In the early days of the Carousel Bar, Hotel Monteleone was also the home to the famous Swan Room, a nightclub where celebrities such as Liberace performed. It wasn't unusual for the performers to join their friends for a nightcap after their shows.
Explore the gallery below to see how the Carousel Bar & Lounge has changed throughout the years.
Experience world-class historic accommodations in the heart of the French Quarter. Book your stay today!
Through The Years
Looking Towards the Future
Hotel Monteleone also expanded the lounge area, opening up the room with coffered ceiling designs and customized crown molding. This New Orleans hotel bar also features circular glass chandeliers and expansive windows along Royal Street. Soft white walls complement the French limestone floors. The Carousel Bar area now has a soothing slate color on the walls adorned with antiqued mirrors as well as new furniture and wooden floors. The authentic Carousel top and the hand-painted chairs around the revolving bar remain the same. The bar now has more lighting underneath the Carousel top and a new pewter bar surface. The Carousel Lounge also has an additional crescent-shaped stationary bar with more seating, to provide ample room for thirsty patrons to mix, mingle, and enjoy the free live musical entertainment.
Artwork is an integral part of creating ambiance in any setting, and our bar is no exception. Guests of the Carousel Bar can admire mixed-media artwork, an amalgam of photographer Alfred Cheney's portraits of Jazz Era and Ziegfeld Follies icons from the 1920s and '30s adorned with intricate beaded embroidery. While the photographs reference the sounds and styles of the Jazz Era, the beadwork is a subtle nod to Mardi Gras beads that incorporates sparkle and brings to life each portrait. Hotel Monteleone commissioned Latvian artist Binka Rigava to hand-embroider the photographs with a cache of pearls, beads, and Swarovski crystals. The result is absolutely captivating: the photographs glimmer with life and light as the carousel revolves.

Two Weeks To Go
Two weeks from today, the Phillies will play their final pre-season game and Jimmy Rollins will be the first batter ever in Coca-Cola Park.
Coca-Cola Park is the new home of our AAA franchise, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The ballpark, which resembles Bright House Field, is located in east Allentown. Game time is 2:05.
Interest in the IronPigs is huge. Capacity is 8,500 seats with an outfield berm for additional casual viewing just like Clearwater. So far, the IronPigs have sold over 4,000 season tickets. Every home game will be televised, a first for a minor league club.
Since we are heading into the final turn of spring training, the pitching rotation is starting to firm up. Barring weather factors, the starters this week are penciled in as: Brett Myers, today in Sarasota; Chad Durbin, tomorrow vs. Indians; Cole Hamels, Tuesday vs. the Rays; Jamie Moyer, Wednesday at the Rays and Kyle Kendrick, Thursday vs. the Pirates. Building up arm strength is a planned process throughout spring training. Goal for each pitcher this week is 80-90 pitches.
Clearwater Visit
Rob Holiday, our assistant director of scouting, led a group of 43 families representing some of the top amateur prospects in Florida, an annual event by the scouting department. The idea is to show mom and dad and the young prospects the facilities at Carpenter Field and Bright House Field, which are among the best in this state.
The group received a grand tour and heard from some of the minor league staff during a meeting in the lunch room at Bright House Field.
For some of the kids that are drafted and signed, being away from home is a first. Mom and dad are concerned, as they should be, of where their sons are going…..housing, meal options, facilities and personnel that will be directing their son's lives and paths to the majors.
Phillies will wear green uniform jerseys and caps for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow . . . Game will be televised on Comcast SportsNet. Radio broadcast can be heard on this website . . . New Philly radio stations in camp for the next couple of days, WIP, featuring Joe Conklin, Hugh Douglas and Joe Waechter and WMMR (Nick McLkwaine) . . . From CSN, Michael Barkann joins the camp for a few days . . . The Jamie Moyer Foundation is holding an invitation only VIP charity event on the half-field post-game tomorrow . . . Correction: earlier in the week I said that every game from here on out is on radio but one (March 27). Add March 21 to the no radio list.
Top Seller
The number one seller a year ago as far as Phillies red t-shirts (name and number)? Chase Utley, 13,938.
Trivia Question
Outfielder So Taguchi is wearing # 99. He is the third player in our history to wear that number. Can you name the other two and the specific years?
First person to post a response here wins an autographed baseball from So.
5 Comments
Here is my guess for the trivia answer:
Andy Carter 1995 (he also wore #50 in prior years)
Mitch Williams 1993 (he also wore #28 in prior years)
Turk Wendell(2003)
Mitch Williams(1993)
My guess
Andy Carter and Mitch Williams
The first guy is right…it was Mitch Williams and Andy Carter. Turk Wendell wore #13. Congrats to the winner!
How about this:
Mitch Williams 1993
Ted Kazanski 1959
I know that's right!!!!!

LONDON (Reuters) - AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb's diabetes drug Onglyza failed to reduce heart risks in a large clinical study, disappointing investors who had thought it might demonstrate an edge over rivals.
The companies, which jointly sell several diabetes drugs, said on Wednesday the so-called SAVOR trial showed that patients on Onglyza had no fewer adverse cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, than those on placebo.
Doctors and investors had been awaiting results of the SAVOR trial with keen interest, since a positive result could have encouraged increased use of the drug.
In the event, the study found Onglyza was no worse than placebo or standard care in terms of cardiovascular outcomes, but it failed to meet the goal of demonstrating superiority.
Heart risks are particularly important in diabetes, since patients with the disease are at increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. Regulators are also stepping up scrutiny of diabetes drugs to make sure they do not add to cardiovascular dangers.
The clinical trial evaluated adult patients with type 2 diabetes with either a history of established cardiovascular disease or multiple risk factors.
Onglyza, which had sales of $709 million in 2012, is a crucial product in a diabetes joint venture established by Britain's second-biggest drugmaker and U.S.-based Bristol, but its sales have recently stalled in the United States.
Analysts at Berenberg Bank said in a note last week that a demonstrable cardiovascular benefit for Onglyza could have reinvigorated demand, leading to eventual peak sales of $3 billion by 2020 - $1 billion more than the broker's base-line forecast.
AstraZeneca and Bristol gave only the headline results from the SAVOR clinical study, since detailed findings have been submitted to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) for potential presentation at the ESC Congress in September.
Onglyza belongs to a class of medicines known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which also includes Merck & Co's Januvia, the market leader. Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim also market a DPP-4 called Tradjenta.

With the recent Crucible expansion CCP changed the spawning mechanics of the faction warfare plexes, allowing them to spawn more often. Capturing as many plexes as possible is essential for switching occupancy of a system, so understanding which factors affect plex respawning could help to maximize the number of plexes available.
I've heard conflicting information about whether players inside a captured plex can block the spawning of further plexes.
I'm curious about the following aspects of plex spawning:
- How often do new plexes spawn?
- What factors prevent new plexes from spawning?

MISSION The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund serves United States military personnel wounded or injured in service to our nation and their families. Supporting these heroes in their time of distress helps repay the debt all Americans owe to them for the sacrifices they have made in service to our nation. They are, in the words of our founder, the late Zachary Fisher, "our nation's greatest national resource," and they deserve all the help our nation can provide. The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is a leader in meeting this national mission.
The Fund recently launched its newest campaign, building a series of centers to diagnose and treat traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress, afflictions the President has called "the signature injuries of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan." Many thousands of veterans suffer the effects of these injuries and the new centers will help address this critical need.
HISTORY Started in 2000, the Fund has provided close to $120 million in support for the families of military personnel lost in service to our nation, and for severely wounded military personnel and veterans. These efforts are funded entirely with donations from the public.
LOCATIONSSan Antonio, Texas
In 2000, the Fund completed construction of the Center for the Intrepid—a $55 million world-class state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation center at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. The center serves wounded military personnel and veterans.
Bethesda, Maryland
The National Intrepid Center of Excellence is located on the Navy campus at Bethesda, Maryland. The center provides services for the treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury. The Fund is now working on building satellite centers.

text: This months science fiction action is as hot as an August summer. Have you caught Europa Report? How bout Elysium? Or After Earth, or the Tom Cruise science fiction adventure Oblivion? Even the superhero adventures have been hotter than ever, from The Man of Steel to Iron Man 3. Smashed moons, from Krypton's Wegthor to Earth's very own Luna are now in vogue, but otherwise, there has been nary a dud in the summer sci-fi season. And the years not over, as we anticipate Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Enders Game and Gravity for the Fall cycle of movies as well. [Read more...]

Is it possible to get lost one fine morning, driving down the same road that one has been taking to and from work every single working day in the last six months?
Seems like it is.
I DID get lost today! And it was around 10 AM in the morning!
No, I wasn't sleep-driving and No, I was absolutely not having a hangover. It isn't New Year's eve yet.
Not that I ever get drunk and have a hangover. For that matter, I don't drink at all. Rather, I can't. Something to do with my system never being able to metabolise alcohol so that I just end up falling asleep for the next 14 hours straight. Naturally, I have never been able to figure out the pleasures of drinking!
Anyway, coming back to the point.
Yes, I knew the fog was bad. (Didn't you notice the pictures on Shadow's Post yesterday?) But I never imagined it would be THIS bad.
As soon as I braved out of our colony gates, I suddenly found myself in this never ending, all encompassing white blur! How was one supposed to drive when you can't even see three metres ahead of you?
The headlamps were useless. Not entirely of course. They would, combined with the distress lights, help others spot me. But that didn't serve my purpose. I needed to spot others!
It was daytime..late morning in fact. And I almost missed the sharp right turn outside our gates and crashed into the thick hedge outside the school next door!
Alright. Slow down!
But now what? No car in sight to follow. Or worse,was there a car/bus/lorry right in front of me that I couldn't see?
I tried to map the road in my brain. Come on! Of course I can do this, I told myself. I know this road like the back of my hand. (To tell you the truth, I don't know the back of my hand that well. Why people refer to this phrase I could never fathom but it repeatedly kept coming back to me as I struggled to find one familiar landmark!)
Anyway, I did know this road perfectly well. Every curve ahead, every uneven bump, each tree at the traffic lights. I certainly could find my way to the highway and then there would be heavy traffic that I could follow.
I don't know where exactly I took a wrong turn but I could sense I was lost in the maze of those identical roads in Dwarka. Visibility was down to just my car bonnet!
I don't think I will ever blame those airlines when fog delays their flights. Even with the best of navigation systems it would be terrifying to take off a huge trans-ocean liner when you can barely see your headlights! (Do aircrafts have headlights or are they called something else? Well, never mind)
For one quarter of an hour, I navigated those (un)familiar roads solely helped by gut instinct and primitive sense of direction.
Wasn't I glad when suddenly, to my left, there was traffic!
AH! I was entering the familiar high traffic zone that I always dreaded, cursed, and complained about. The stretch of about 3 kilometres which invariably messed up the average mileage of my car.
But today, I couldn't have been happier to see the traffic crossing which always meant the start of a bumper to bumper row of cars moving at 15 km per hour!!
Guess whoever said there is a meaning and purpose in everything was right.
Today I understood the greater meaning behind traffic congestion!!

My brother has an n97, and emits a torrent of obscenities whenever he's reminded of the fact. Having had a play with it, I was struct by how glitchy, buggy and half-finished it was- possibly the worst s60 phone I have ever used.
Have they *actually* fixed it up now? Do things hang/crash/.crawl less?
This experience, coupled with Nokia support basically completely failing to ever respond to tickets regarding horrible bugs preventing backups of my 6700c have made me feel like I've bought my last Nokia. I'd like to be persuaded differently, as I'm not prepared to jailbreak Android and unwilling to drink the Jobs kool-aid, yet.
(..and obviously a Palm Pre is right out)

Tuesday night I went to interview dedicated fans of Grand Theft Auto about the series they love enough to stay up all night for. Like most fans they were jovial, amiable and more complicated than I would ever assume. In the video above, they told me why they love the series so.
In the middle of interviewing people, a car collided with a motorcycle in the center of Union Square, New York. It was one of those jarring moments you have in life — something so sudden and senseless in the midst of an otherwise joyful celebration, a haunting reminder of the realities of the world.
I guess that's just how life works sometimes.

After the hectic busyness of summer activities, your fitness routine may be the last thing on your mind. After all, it's time to slow down and pace yourself, right?
Yes, your instincts are spot on. There's nothing the matter with wanting to slow down a bit – as long as the operative word is slow. Grinding to a halt – or stopping – is where we get into trouble.
That's why creating a healthy paced routine now is the best way to assure your fitness success through the seasons ahead.
After my fibromyalgia diagnosis, I did a bunch of research on what fitness programs interested me. Here's the truth: none of them did. All I could see is why I couldn't do any of them.
Running or jogging? Not likely.
Wearing spandex to a gym? Not gonna happen.
Working out in my jammies at home? Well… it's hard to object to that.
Getting Started
I've written about how I began my own fitness programs before and you may wish to revisit this Motivation Article to review. As I detailed in that article, I started by doing simple stretching exercises on the floor and moved on to trying some fitness DVDs I checked out at the library. I also had another reason to develop my own fitness routine. I wanted to make good use of the money I'd spent on a fitness machine I picked up at an after Christmas sale. It was large, awkward, plastic, and never worked very well, but it did get me going. In fact, I did it for so long, that I actually wore the plastic tracks right off of it.
I have no idea how many miles I put on that silly contraption, but I do know the result of my efforts. My fitness routines had become a healthy habit.
I was a changed woman and I've never looked back.
Later, I incorporated walking – both outside and in – to my routine. I found it easy, doable, and flexible to fit my time and budget. When the weather wasn't as cooperative, I walked to DVDs at home. Later as I memorized the routines, I found myself doing the steps while I watched any program.
You can't argue with the convenience of walking. It can be done anywhere, any time, and with no special equipment. It can be done very gently and slowly to start, and it's easy to build up your own stamina for longer walks. Unlike dance classes, there's no coordination or special skills required. Quality walking shoes are a good idea; jammies are optional.
My favorite walking DVDs are by Leslie Sansone, the walking fitness queen (that's my definition and probably not hers). Her DVDs are inexpensive and readily available both online and at discount stores such as Target. The other great benefit is that there's such a wide variety of options from which to choose.
Are you looking to begin a fitness program but not sure where to start? I'd suggest a review of the helpful resources found in Leslie Sansone's book, Walk Away the Pounds. While this isn't a new release, the guidance provided within is timeless. The reason why the book is a great addition to your fitness library is the step by step accountability it provides. It walks you through (pun intended) six weeks of suggestions, training, support, encouragement, and tracking assistance to make sure that your walking experience is fun, enjoyable, and practical. A fundamental walking DVD is included.
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
By the time you've completed the initial six weeks, you're sure to have created a routine for life. This means the habit of fitness will be deeply ingrained and you'll be able to adjust your activity choices and levels to suit your needs. Walking is just one of the many options to try. The habits generated after this six-week program will assist you in translating the habit to multiple other activities. Remember that variety is the spice that keeps things fresh.
The Secret to Creating a Healthy Habit
It may surprise you to learn that creating a healthy habit takes more than just the initiative to try it. Understanding your motivation for change goes a long way toward making it a regular routine.
Here are a few questions you may wish to write down and explore in your journal or diary:
- Why do I want to be healthier tomorrow than I am today?
- Who can I enlist to support me and my health goals?
- How can I arrange my day to make my fitness plans a priority?
- How can I support and reward myself for my fitness success?
- How can I easily and simply track my progress?
For more supportive information on question #5, you may wish to revisit this article on Fitness Tracking for Success.
As you can see, creating your personalized fitness program is simply one part of a life long journey. It grows and changes as you become stronger and healthier. It's about so much more than just the fitness routines. In my own personal health transformation, I discovered that becoming healthier enabled me to have stronger, more supportive relationships. It helped me to handle and deal with stress in healthier ways. It helped me to make better decisions and choices about food, work, and my surroundings.
The bottom line is that getting healthy and fit has a profound effect on every aspect of your life. It's my wish that you receive the transformational benefits that I did once I implemented a regular fitness routine into my day.
And, to make your steps a bit lighter, here's a walking chant I was delighted to find in Leslie's Sansome's book:
Happily may I walk.
May it be beautiful before me.
May it be beautiful behind me.
May it be beautiful below me.
May it be beautiful above me.
May it be beautiful all around me.
In beauty it is finished.
– Navaho Night Chant

Last week, Sasha from Nihrida showed us a Stargazer polish she had just bought, and thought it might be a dupe for Orly Space Cadet from the Cosmic Effect collection, one of the super-hit polishes of 2010. It made me want to wear Space Cadet again. I had forgotten what a nightmare this polish is!! First, it's very sheer, you can't hope to get away with less than three coats, and then it's uber slooooooooooooow to dry. Even with Seche Vite, I ended with dents more than two hours after applying it. But well, I have to admit that it's so beautiful, it's almost worth it, or at least once in a while!! I took all sorts of pictures with all sorts of lights and settings to try and show you the many faces of Space Cadet.

we used for our valentines a few years ago.
I was looking at this Valentine wall hanging and remembered what I was doing when I stitched these. (Do you ever do that? Lots of times I remember what movie I was watching.) Well with this one it was the 2002 Olympics. And then it hit me – it's been 8 years since then! Where has the time gone?
I'm so excited the Olympics are here! I already got teary 5 minutes into the first montage. I've been an Olympic junkie since Sarajevo when I was about 9. And then they came to my own back yard (almost literally – the Sale Lake Olympic stadium is within walking distance of where I grew-up.) Only I had a 3-year-old and a nursing baby at the time, so I didn't do a lot of Olympic spectating other than from my couch like most of the rest of the world. But I'll tell you this – that Olympic spirit is real. During the time that Olympic flame was lit, there was an amazing feeling in Utah and as soon as that flame went out, it left. (Can anyone else attest to this?) Really awesome. Getting to taste that spirit was a sweet experience. Enjoy it Vancouverites!
