Ditched Windows Phone for a Z10 today!

In the CrackBerry forums we typically hear about users switching to BlackBerry from iPhone or Android and not so much Windows phone, but one of our new members?beachhoppr did just that. In what is nearly a live blog of his first few days with the BlackBerry Z10,?beachhoppr has given a play-by-play of his pros and cons with the Z10 as compared to Windows Phone (most recently the Lumia 810).?

I really enjoyed reading over the thread both for the posts from beachhoppr learning all about BlackBerry 10 and for all of the awesome CB members that are jumping in to help out and offer up tips for a brand new user.?

Love this phone! Wife unhappy with my obsessionbeachhoppr, CB Member

So far beachhoppr has fallen in love and has a slight Z10 obsession?- and we wouldn't?expect any less. ?He loves the Active Frames, Hub and overall speed and has already begun sideloading a ton of apps, noting BlackBerry has WP killed in this category!

He has also made a few comparisons to Windows Phone thus far.

Comparisons so far:

• Keyboard goes to BB
• Hub goes to BB! Love this
• Camera speed goes to BB
• Battery life still under test
• Screen tied
• Intuitiveness gotta give it to WP out of the box
• Apps WP wins at the moment
• Live tiles vs Active frames...gotta go with live tiles
• Style...ooh I dig the utilitarian BlackBerry form factor
• Navigation goes to WP...only 2 screens to deal with
• Speed...phew...BlackBerry by a hair

ok just discovered peek and compact sidebar! awesome!beachhoppr, CB Member

In his first post if the thread he asked,?"Am I a crazy person??" We can assure you beachhoppr that the only crazy thing is that you didn't switch sooner. It's always a tough decsision when it comes to picking the device that's best for you, and while you've obviously been through quite a few devices over the years, we're more than happy to have you on Team BlackBerry.?

We'll take any and all BlackBerry lovers here - not matter what device you've come from. We especially love fans as excited as you are. So welcome to CrackBerry!

Ford says it's hiring more salaried workers

DEARBORN, Mich. -

Ford Motor Company will hire an additional 800 salaried employees for a total of more than 3,000 salaried employees in 2013.

The new hiring represents a 36 percent increase over the original projection of 2,200 additional salaried jobs announced in January.

With only a 2.7 percent attrition rate, the majority of these jobs are new.
This salaried hiring initiative is the largest since 2000, and is necessary for Ford to meet increased demand for its products and continue its aggressive global growth. Ford?s U.S. market share is
up almost a full percentage point from last year, and the company reported its best June sales since 2006, fueled by share gains on the east and west coasts and surging demand for Ford
Escape and Ford F-150.

Of the 3,000 new jobs, 2,400 will be technical professionals who will work in product development, manufacturing, quality, purchasing and information technology. Ford is halfway to its goal of hiring the 3,000 salaried employees this year. Felicia Fields, Ford group vice president for human resources, says the company is still looking for people who are ?interested in working for a diverse global leader in a huge growth mode? to fill the more than 1,500 positions that remain.

?Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs,? says Fields. ?Global demand and increasing capacity in North America and Asia requires that
we aggressively seek out technical professionals in order to continue our growth.?

While the 3,000 jobs will be based in the U.S., many of these positions will have a global impact as Ford continues to expand around the world to meet surging demand for its cars, trucks and
SUVs.

Information regarding open salaried positions and Ford?s hiring process can be found at www.careers.ford.com.

All-new recruiting campaign
Ford has launched an all-new recruiting campaign with a large social media element titled ?The Distance Between You and an Amazing Career Has Never Been Shorter.?

The campaign encourages candidates to bring their talents to Ford and contribute to serving customers through ingenious solutions.
?We created the campaign to align with Ford?s global brand promise and highlight that when you join Ford you will become part of a team already leading the way in imagination and creation,?
says Fields. ?We want a fresh and innovative image that reflects Ford and what we stand for.?

The new initiative will engage job candidates on the three major social sites the company uses for recruiting ? Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, as well as the corporate careers website.
?The type of talent we want at Ford are often searching for and evaluating potential employers on social media sites, so expanding our recruiting efforts on these channels ensures we have a
strong presence throughout their selection process,? says Fields. In addition to the all-new social media campaign, Ford also is increasing its presence on college campuses.

Pawn Star Married: Rick Harrison Marries DeAnna Burditt in California (VIDEO)

July 22, 2013|7:54 pm

Pawn Star, Rick Harrison, has married girlfriend DeAnna Burditt Sunday night in Laguna Beach, California.

Harrison, who is famed for his role behind the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, featured on the History Channel's popular show Pawn Stars, married Burditt in a "sunset ceremony" at the weekend.

Reports claims that Harrison and Burditt were joined at the ceremony by Harrison's three sons and three daughters, and that the family was also joined by 180 other guests.

Harrison's Pawn Star cast friends were also in attendance, with Chumlee reported to be the ring-bearer.

The wedding ceremony was also officiated by Counting Cars star, Danny Koker.

This is the third marriage for both 47-year-old Harrison and 37-year-old Burditt.

Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business opened in 1989 and operated by patriarch Richard "Old Man" Harrison, his son Rick Harrison, Rick's son Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison, and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.

The show, which became the network's highest rated show, and the No. 2 reality show behind Jersey Shore, debuted on July 26, 2009. Reruns can be seen on History as well as its sister network Lifetime, which added the show in December 2010.

Here is a video news report into the marriage of Pawn Star Rick Harrison:

Broncos Von Miller faces suspension for violating NFL policy

NFL.com?s Albert Breer reported Monday that Broncos linebacker Von Miller is facing a four-game suspension, per a source apprised of the situation. The case currently is under appeal, and it?s unclear what policy Miller violated. Miller?s father told The Denver Post that Miller will have a statement on the matter in the coming hours.

The league has yet to comment. The Broncos told NFL.com and NFL Network they?re aware of the report but can?t comment because of the confidentiality of the league?s policies. ESPN?s Adam Schefter first reported the story.

The news comes just one week after the Broncos suspended two top personnel executives, Matt Russell and Tom Heckert, for DUI arrests. Miller?s potential suspension would be even more damaging.
First Four Games:

Ravens
Giants
Raiders
Eagles

Seeing reports abt 4 game susp. I know I did nothing wrong. I?m sure this?ll be resolved fairly. Disapp. Broncos have 2 open camp like this.
