Giants-Saints ticket deal reached
New Orleans Saints season ticket holders will have first choice of seats for the team's game rescheduled for Giants Stadium on Sept. 19.
Saints season ticket holders and others who had already bought tickets for the game originally scheduled for the storm-damaged Louisiana Superdome on Sept. 18 will be able to buy tickets for the rescheduled game beginning Thursday, the Giants said Tuesday.
Giants season ticket holders will be able to buy tickets beginning the same day, three hours later. The general public will be able to buy any remaining tickets beginning Sept. 13.
Also Tuesday, Saints owner Tom Benson, who drew criticism for his silence concerning where the team should play home games in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, prefers to call Baton Rouge home.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Benson echoed players and coaches who have said they prefer to play in Tiger Stadium on the LSU campus.

I'll be doing some more traveling this fall and am considering getting one of the small DVD players with built in screen for use on the airplanes instead of my bulky laptop. Are their certain features I should get, or ones that are nice to have, but not needed?
And how about this one at Compusa on sale this week?

Only if you don't turn it on. We've had people that have left their laptops out in their cars overnight, bring them into work, and not be able to use them for an hour or two until they warmed up to room temperature.

Verizon to expand fiber's reach
Several communities will have fast Internet option and more will follow.
Wednesday, August 24, 2005

Verizon Communications has begun connecting households in Fayetteville, Manlius, DeWitt, Cicero and the east side of Syracuse to fiber-optic lines that can provide fast Internet connections, phone service and - some day - television programming.
Verizon has spent months stringing fiber-optic cable down the streets of those neighborhoods. Now technicians are attaching fiber lines to houses of customers who order its FiOS high-speed Internet service, a company official said Tuesday.
Not every household in the targeted areas is eligible for FiOS yet, but the service is "generally available in those communities," said Cliff Lee, speaking for Verizon. Technicians are still deploying fiber along some streets, Lee said.
FiOS offers Internet connection speeds ranging from 5 megabits per second, which is 40 percent faster than Verizon's DSL service, to 30 Mbps, which is 10 times faster than DSL.
The monthly price ranges from $39.95 for the 5 Mbps connection to $199.95 for 30 Mbps, with discounts for Verizon calling packages.
Company officials announced the availability of FiOS in Cicero last month, and said Tuesday it is available in the other areas.
In a related effort to expand its Internet customer base, Verizon announced Tuesday it is offering a low-cost DSL service for $14.95. The service offers connection speeds of up to 768 kilobits per second, compared with 3,000 Kbps for regular DSL, which costs at least $29.95 a month.
Verizon also announced its DSL customers will receive a free package of services Yahoo! Inc., including security software, parental controls and other features.
The low-cost DSL option is intended to compete with dial-up Internet plans, Lee said.
FiOS, on the other hand, is Verizon's attempt to compete with the so-called "triple play" offered by cable TV companies such as Time Warner Cable, which can sell customers a package including high-speed Internet, phone calls and TV.
For now, FiOS offers only the Internet and phone services; TV service will require cable franchise agreements with local communities. Lee said Verizon plans to pursue cable franchises.
Municipal officials in Cicero and Syracuse said the company has not applied for cable franchises in those communities yet.
So far, FiOS is available to customers with phone lines connected to Verizon offices in Cicero, Fayetteville and on East Genesee Street near Nottingham High School in Syracuse. Parts of DeWitt and Manlius are covered by those facilities.
To find out whether a residence is eligible for FiOS, customers can check at www. verizon.com or call (888) 438-3467.
FiOS for businesses is not yet available, Lee said.
Baldwinsville probably will be the next community in Central New York to get FiOS, said Chris Ryan, executive vice president of Communications Workers of America Local 1123, which represents Verizon workers. Line crews began installing fiber in Baldwinsville this summer, Ryan said.
Lee said he could not confirm what neighborhoods will get FiOS next but availability will be expanded.

I gave an artificial christmas tree to them back in June that the previous owner of our house left. The guy even said "what am I going to do with this?" I said it might not be a big seller now, but just wait till November.

All you need is some blue tarps for the roof, some high pressure pumps/hoses, and a couple million gallons of bleach to wash the place with.
