There ,standing in front of you, was thee Jack Frost. Your Jack Frost. Another cold wave of air rushs into the room. Jack points his staff at Pitch, threatening him. Pitch commands his horses to gather at the scene. Horse after horse appeared, trotting around the fight. Pitch gave another award winning smile and cackle. Jack tensed up, preparing to fight. The horses were beginning to get antsy. Some even dared to get closer to Jack. Jack hit the closest one with his staff. The horse disapeared in to black sand. More and more gathered around. Jack fought of each, but with difficulty. It was hard for Jack to handle so many with so little.
You began to pick yourself up from the ground. You could still barely able to move. You looked down at your legs. Your pants were ripped apart there and there. Black sand crawled up your leg, stopping around your ankle. You clawed at it, but it held firm. You kept hitting at it till it began to weaken. Looking back up at the fight, Jack and Pitch were facing off.
Pitch sent his sharp black sand towards Jack. jack flew up, trying to leap left and right to get away. The boogeyman didnt let up. He sent more and more sand his way, plus some horses. Jack began blasting the sand and sand figures with ice. Some suceeded and they fell to the floor, making black ice. Jack dodged and dogded, till one little prick got him.
His wounds werent terrible, but it was enough for your heart to stop. It cut him across the torso, ripping his hoodie. There was no blood, fortunatly, but it didn't look like he enjoyed it. A small bruise was forming around the wound, circling. You got up from your spot on the ground running towards Jack.
"Jack!" you screamed. Pitch turned to look over at you. A sinster smile was flashed your way. Then, you saw red.
Just like last time, you were to slow. But it wasnt Jack who was wounded.
A rather long black sand dagger was sent your way. Your wound duplicated Jacks. But unlike Jacks, yours went completely through you. Blood trickled down your stomach. The sand pulled out and vanished near Pitch. Your legs gave out, no energy at all was left. Your body felt like it was on fire. Bring yout hands to your stomach, you felt the bruise. It was a small hole, barely missing your heart. You winced in pain, the touch felt terrible. You began to gasp for air, your lungs beginning to fail. Tear rolled down your cheeks, but you could barely tell.
"____!!" Jack cried. While Pitch was distracted, Jack hit him with ice as much as he could. Pitch became an ice statue. Jack flew over towards you, holding your shoulders. So many tears were rolling down his face. You reached up, touching his cheek with your hand. You caught a tear, wiping it away.
"Why are you crying?" you asked. Your voice began to sound so sleepy. Your eyes were beginning to become tired. You had to stay up, for Jack. Even though the warmth that came from your eyes closed felt comfortable.
"B-because. Your dying, don't you understand?" he asked. More and more tears came from his soft blue eyes. You gave him a smile.
"It's ok. I'll see you in another life again. Ok?" you reassured him. He shook his head, it didn't help. But then he stopped crying. Actually a smile formed on his face. You gave him a puzzled look.
"That, that's it!" he boomed excitedly.
"What?" you ask.
"Promise me." he demanded. You shook your head. You weren't understanding.
"Promise what?" your voice coming out dry. You didnt gave much time left.
"Promise to be with me. Forever. I know this isn't something you want to be thinking about but you have to. If you promise me, you'll become immortal. Please. Just say it." his words began to float in the distance. You shut your eyes; you weren't able to move anything anymore. You tried to speak but it became to difficult. Tears dripped on to you now.
"Promise me!!" he begged. You openned your eyes slightly, enough to see Jack holding you; crying.
"I- ...... p-promise." you answered.
You jumped up, breathing heavily. Sweat went down your face. You put your hands to your chest. You felt a fabric laying on it. You got up from the rather large bed. You looked over at it, examing it. It was pretty beautiful, it was red and yellow with tiny patterns sketched into it. It was made for a giant though, which you were quite comfortable with. You investigated the room you were in. It was made quite tall, the cieling being quite high. In front of you was a grand dresser with a huge mirror on it. You look into the mirror, examining your wound. Tightly wound bandages went across your torso and up your right shoulder.You tried to remove the bandges, but failed. It was for the best though. On the dresser was a set of clothes. You picked them up from their spot. It was a white shirt with frost stiched on the sleeves and the bottom. There was also a pair of tight fitting jeans. You stripped and put on your new clothes. You put your old clothes on the dresser.
Adruptly, a small 'thing' came into the room. It looked like... A Santa hat? It had a small silver bell at the top, the most of the 'hat' was made of a red fabric with a green... belt.. surrounding it in the middle. As you crouched down to look better, you noticed a small face. It was smiling up at you, grabbing your thumb. You let go of him and walked next to him.
He took you to what seemed like a living room. There was a huge fireplace sitting on the wall. Christmas decorations lined the mantel of the great fireplace. Two huge, red living chairs sat, facing the fireplace. Jack sat on one of the seats, fast asleep. You walked over toward him, tapping his shoulder.
He rubbed his eyes, looking lazily toward you. He eyes widened and a huge smile covered his face. He jumped up, hugging you tightly. You gave out a small ouch. He let go of you, a bit embaressed to of squeezed you.
"Im so glad your okay.... you were out for days.." he left off. Grabbing his hand, you gave it a soft squeeze. He looked up at you lovingly.
"Im ok. Were going to be okay. It just hurts a bit." you reassured him. He smiled softly at you, giving you a not-so-death-grip hug. A jolly laugh erupted to the side of you. Standing far to the side was a rather tall man. He was quite built with a long white beard meeting the end of his torso. The man wore a red long sleeve shirt, which was rolled up at the elbows. He had big tattoos on his lowerarm. One said Naughty and the other said Nice. He caught you staring and smiled.
"So your Jack Frosts little wifey?" he asked, with a strong russian accent. Your face heated up. Jack held you, laying his hand on your left shoulder.
"I guess you can call her that." Jack joked. you lightly hit him in the shoulder. He let out a small laugh.
"Well welcome to the North Pole. Im Nicholas St North. But call me North." the tall man told you.
"Like Santa?" you asked. He let out another jolly laugh.
"I go by that as well." North replied. A tall bunny walked from the corner door, followed by a small golden man and a tall bird-fairy women. You gawked at them, so suprised to see such people. The small gold man waved his hand at you, you replicated.
"Oh, almost forgot. I have to introduce you to the rest of the family. This is Sanderson. Sandman. Usually called Sandy." North began. The gold man waved once again, giving you a smile. You smiled back. "This is Toothiana, Tooth Fairy, usually called Tooth." the fair women whizzed over towards you, openning your mouth. You made an uncomfortable noise and Jack pulled Tooth back.
"Its so nice to meet you! You have wonderful teeth." she told you. You laughed and thanked her.
"And lastly this is E. Aster Bunnymund. Easter Bunny. Usually called-" North was cut off by Jacks witty comment.
Bunnymund didn't exactly take to his nickname. Him and Jack got into it, but was soon cut off by North. Bunny stood by North once again stood by North.
"Hello mate." Bunny greeted you, he had an australian accent. You gave him a small hello in return.
"So, how do you like your new family?" North asked. You gave a confused face.
"Family?" you asked. They all laughed, but once again return their attention to you.
"Yes, your part of this family now. You want to be apart of it, right?" North asked. You looked over at Jack. His lovely blue eyes stare at you, he gave you a happy smile. You give him a smile as well and turn back to North.
"I do."

Woman pinned after driving into concrete median
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 37-year-old woman was pinned inside a vehicle early Saturday after she slammed her car into a concrete median, police said.
The woman drifted sideways about 7:26 a.m., while northbound on N. Padre Island Drive near Bear Lane, said Lt. Isaac Valencia, a Corpus Christi Police Department traffic supervisor.
She overcorrected and struck the concrete median and was pinned in the passenger vehicle, Valencia said.
Emergency responders used a mechanical device to extract the woman, he said.
She was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial with non-life-threatening injuries.
"Investigators suspect alcohol may have been involved," Valencia said.

Burlington is an incorporated town located at the north side of the mouth of Green Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Burlington, once named Northwest Arm, is a small fishing and lumbering community that was permanently settled in the mid-19th century. The community was renamed in the early part of 1915 due to a mix-up in the mail service. After many residents complained that their mail was sent to another community with a similar name, the town leaders felt the need to have a name change. Out of three separate entries, 'Burlington' was chosen. Burlington and surrounding area has a distinct dialect that is still heard by many today, due to the English and Irish heritage the town has.

So I have an Astro Start starter that came with the truck. The dickweed who had it before me, never turned in any of the fobs that came with the truck or the remote starter. So I got another fob via Inet. Put batteries in. Can't get the truck to get into learn mode to save my life.
It's either the 2524 model or the 2524A model. When I got the Fob the guy said with that model the fob is the same for both.
Anyone know any resources to look for or tricks to getting it working?

ILGenerator.Emit Method (OpCode, MethodInfo)
Puts the specified instruction onto the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) stream followed by the metadata token for the given method.
Namespace: System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
- opcode
- Type: System.Reflection.Emit.OpCode
The MSIL instruction to be emitted onto the stream.
- meth
- Type: System.Reflection.MethodInfo
A method that is the target of opcode.
Exception | Condition |
ArgumentNullException | meth is null. |
NotSupportedException | meth is a generic method for which the MethodInfo.IsGenericMethodDefinition property is false. |
The instruction values are defined in the OpCodes enumeration.
The location of meth is recorded so that the instruction stream can be patched if necessary when persisting the module to a portable executable (PE) file.
If meth represents a generic method, it must be a generic method definition. That is, its MethodInfo.IsGenericMethodDefinition property must be true.
The following example demonstrates the use of Emit method overloads to emit an instruction that requires a FieldInfo and an instruction that requires a MethodInfo. The first instruction loads an object from a static field (Shared field in Visual Basic), and the second instruction calls the get accessor for a property of the object.
This code is part of a larger example provided for the BeginExceptionBlock method.

Photo by Jennifer Fike Princeton City Administrator Lee Lawrence presents Collin College Board members with facts and figures that he said support building an East Collin College campus in Farmersville.
By Jennifer Fike Staff Writer
Town Hall meeting lets city share opinions; citizens want school
The line of citizens waiting to register for the Collin College Town Hall meeting last week stretched around Farmersville High School.
Shortly before 6:30 p.m., volunteers scrambled to add enough chairs to the back of the cafetorium; about 300 members of the community turned out to show support for a local branch of the college.
Before the conference officially began, PISD Director of Special Service Dustin Evans, and Clark Junior High principal Greg Tabor took seats in the back of the cafetorium. Evans and Clark said they were there to represent Princeton's administration and show its support for the new campus. Most of the staff was attending the girls' basketball playoff game, they said.
"Collin College gives students easier access to higher education," Tabor said, adding that the college would bring positive change to Princeton as well as Farmersville.
"Getting to McKinney can be difficult," Evans said. "This will make things easier."
City Councilmember Bruce Beauchamp and Mayor Steven Deffibaugh also attended the meeting, along with Princeton City Administrator Lee Lawrence and Economic Development Coordinator Cathy Dunkel.
Collin College President Dr. Cary Israel officially opened the meeting and introduced Dr. Bob Collins, chairman of the Collin College Board of Trustees.
"We absolutely want to get from you big ideas or headlines you would like to see three years from now," Israel said.
The meeting was a combination of brief, informative speeches from the college's personnel and board of trustees, as well as a forum for citizens to voice their opinions and ideas.
"We hope to get a lot of information," Israel said, encouraging residents to speak candidly about their perceptions of Collin College.
Board members and faculty establish goals for the college every three years, Collins said, and they would like to receive "sizable community input" to assist them in formulating their plans.
The meeting at Farmersville was one of seven the college will conduct in order to gather input from people in each of the regions Collin College serves. In addition to Farmersville, the school will host town meetings in Celina and at each of its existing campuses. Currently the school has campuses in Allen, Frisco, McKinney, Plano and Rockwall.
Shortlyafter Collins spoke, Dr. Tom Martin, associate vice president of institutional research, explained the format of the meeting, a multi-media town hall that would provide residents three ways to share their opinions.
First, the college provided written questionnaires, giving citizens an opportunity to answer questions such as "How would you describe Collin College's public image?" and "How can we enhance that image?"
The results of those surveys were collected and will be added to the school's Web site.
Collin College also provided 90 electronic "clickers" which enabled the audience to vote instantly on a number of questions. The results of those questions were made public seconds after participants clicked their answers, and most responses were favorable toward Collin College and the services it provides.
In between polling questions, citizens and city staff were given chances to step up to a microphone and share their thoughts.
First to speak was Terri Harper of Farmersville. Her son transferred to Collin College from Southwestern Methodist University. "I believe you have an excellent reputation," Harper said, explaining that both she and her son felt he was getting a wonderful education at Collin College and that it was far more affordable than SMU.
Some speakers used the opportunity to thank the college for their own educations. Others encouraged their fellow citizens to take advantage of the affordable education Collin College offers, but most of the speakers asked the college to build in Farmersville soon. Their reasons varied; some were entrepreneurs in need of additional skills training, and others were parents who hoped their children would be able to attend an affordable college close to home.
Many of those who spoke already had ties to Collin College, either through their own college experience or their children's. However, a few of the speakers came forward with broader interest in the campus.
Farmersville Mayor Don Smith, Farmersville Economic Development Corporation President Joe Helmberger, and Lawrence were a few of the individuals who approached the Collin College trustees with prepared speeches and statistical data on behalf of their cities.
Helmberger cited results from a survey conducted among 2,029 high school students in the five districts in east Collin County.
"These are the students that will be directly affected by the completion of an east Collin County campus," Helmberger said.
According to the survey, approximately 60 percent of the students said they would be interested in earning college credit while in high school, if they could do so at an East Collin College campus. More than 60 percent said they planned to attend Collin College for two years and then transfer to a university.
Lawrence used population statistics and economic factors and listed three reasons he felt the school should build its next campus in Farmersville.
"Our area can currently support an east Collin County campus, regardless of future growth," Lawrence said, "The geographical area immediately served by an east Collin County campus includes over 35,000 persons. If the service area includes Wylie and Greenville, which I think it should, that number is approximately 100,000 persons.
"The population of the eastern Collin County area has a particular need for the services provided by a community college," he said.
Based on economic factors such as modest incomes and the increasing costs of attending universities, Lawrence said the citizens of eastern Collin County rely heavily on two-year colleges for their educational needs.
Lawrence ended his address by focusing on an economic standpoint. "Having a community college in east Collin County is critical to the economic development of our area. Community colleges are skill centers. Community colleges strengthen local workforces. Community Colleges generate economic development."
The estimated impact of a Collin College campus is $10 million annually, he said, money that would be concentrated in Farmersville but would positively impact Princeton as well.
The day after the town hall meeting, Israel said he felt it had been a production session. "I was very impressed with the outpouring of support from the communities," he said. "What I think the board is going to do is look at the numbers to determine what kind of campus needs to be built here and when."
A timeline for construction hasn't been decided, Israel said.
"I can't give you an answer as to when the campus will be built here, but the sheer volume of people who showed up did demonstrate that people are willing to roll up their sleeves to put forth the hard work," he said.

Wichita council approves changes for downtown parking garage
The Wichita City Council approved the latest changes in a downtown parking garage and park project that is being fast-tracked to open late this year with its neighbor, the Ambassador Hotel at Douglas and Broadway.
The council approved almost $25,000 in changes, largely to strengthen the parking garage structure, that pose no threat to the project's $7.57 million budget, city officials said. The changes are primarily to cover more steel reinforcing in the concrete topping slabs throughout the garage. According to city documents, construction of the garage is being hurried to match the anticipated late 2012 opening of the Ambassador Hotel, making significant project changes inevitable during construction. All of the changes are covered in the project's budget.
Public Works director Alan King and project manager Ed Martin told The Eagle last week that despite the changes, the project will come in under budget and on time. The garage is funded out of the city's capital improvements budget for 2012. The city has spent or committed almost $6.8 million of the money budgeted for the parking garage and an adjacent city park. The garage project is now estimated at $5 million.
In addition, the garage project has been plagued by the discovery of foundation remnants from three old buildings on the site, dating back more than a century. Removal costs have risen above $165,000, also money contained in the project budget, King said.
King and Martin said officials discovered the construction debris during core soil sampling tests.
Workers have completed reinforcing pilings for the project, and are pouring concrete footings on the site just south of the Kansas Health Foundation. Once that work and underground utility work is complete, the pre-cast slabs for the garage will be installed.
The garage, park and the new hotel, estimated to cost $50 million together, are part of downtown's first full city block of improvements since the passage of Project Downtown, the city's master plan for downtown revitalization. The Kansas Health Foundation is launching its facility expansion and Slawson officials are working on a retail and office revival of the old Henry's building.
Join the Discussion
The Wichita Eagle is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere on the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:Nice fitting inside the Wii Remote.
Charger is simple to use, indicates charging with red flashing.
Flashing stops when battery fully charged.
Holds 2 Wii Remotes,
Battery time seems slightly lower compared to reglar quality AA batteries.
Battery needs to be in Wii Remote when charged, no stand-alone charging possible without modification of the charger.
Empty the batteries good (like using the Wii Remote settings and use vibration and sound to really drain them) before charging.
The first 2-3 charges will drain quick, so dont give up on them, it takes a few charges before they start working good.
Pretty good for a 3rd part product, imo its worth its $12

Amazing tablet in every way. I didn't think I would use the S-pen, but once I started using it, I prefer it over using my finger. Never crashes, crystal clear resolution, no lag. I've been using it for the past 4 months and I use it everyday with no problems thus far. The size is noticeably better than the 7 inch Samsung tablet that I was considering too. One thing I have noticed though is that the tablet does get warm on the left side after prolong use, I'm guessing that's where the battery is, but other than that, no down side. I did get it on a deal though, but I don't think you can go wrong with the product itself - way better than the ipad I bought.
I have gone through 3 cards already. I noticed that this happens most often when we use the tablet while it is being charged. I am thinking that the component that holds the Sd card is not up to par with the rest of the parts within the tablet. Other than that, I am like this table very much - it is the right size and I am able to do a lot of stuff with it. And I am not even using it to its full potential!.
Excellent tab to bring in to meetings and do light work. S pen takes some adjustment but works very well. I enjoy this device. There are certainly better devices... but not for this price. Don't expect it to flawlessly work on microsoft programs like word (polar is office is pretty terrible for formatting) . AIl in all, great value for money.
I have the note 2, will skip the note 3 and now I will skip the note 3 because this note 8 lte cant be beat!! I text on it and make calls!!! its the best thing Samsung invented!!!!!!!!
Has insufficient internal storage and a hobbled SD card slot.
The Note 8 itself isn't so bad, however Samsung Canada is non-commital about when or if firmware updates the rest of the world seems to get will occur; citing confusion as their concern... It's interesting they are not so concerned about the false expectations their global marketing creates prior to purchase, about perks and support for which Canadians are excluded. The device is short on internal storage as Android + Samsung bloat use half. Though it has an SD card expansion slot, because of OS limitations, it is impossible to move an app to the SD card. Most apps also lacking the option of storing files on the SD card.
I've had this tablet for a few months and have no regrets purchasing it. I find it's the perfect size for to travel with, use every day and use as an e-reader. I haven't taken advantage of the s-pen like I should have though.
The Samsung note 8 is versatile and powerful enough for my needs. I especially like the s pen feature and it can decipher most of my hen scratch writing with ease. I purchased it on sale and feel that I got good value for my money.
it's an amazing product. S pen is useful for taking notes, but Note 10.1 should be a better choice if we need to take notes during the meeting or lecture
Had an old Nexus 7. Found it a little small, and it got so very slow over time - unusable, in fact. Decided on a Note 8.0 because of the slightly larger screen, the multi-window function and the S-pen. Screen - quite nice. Don't miss the higher pixel count on the Nexus compared to having a larger viewing area. Also, better colour on the Note 8.0. Multi-window - still playing with it, but its nice to take notes with while either studying a text or watching a video lecture. Seems to be more than a gimmick. And the S-pen - finding it very useful for writing (eg. this review) and surfing the web. If I were an artist, I imagine I'd be thrilled at the artistic potential. Also enjoy the increased storage capacity from the micro SD slot - very nice to throw video's on. Overall, I fnd it a much better tablet for work / study than a Nexus 7. 4 stay because I haven't used it long enough to see if it'll stay up to speed or slow down like the last tablet.
I had a Motorola Xoom prior to this one. Nothing comparable. I specifically loved the pen. I believe it's the best tablet in market at the moment.
Right size to hold in one hand, Sharp display. Nice stylus. Price a bit high but worth it.
The Note 8.0 is very fast, extremely responsive, light ,well built,and very portable. I totaly recommend.
I really like my SGN8. The screen is just the right size - any larger and it would be too big, any smaller, too small. Very smooth operation. Would have liked to be able to adjust size of icons, but no big deal. I'm finding transferring files to and from the device awkward, but maybe that's just my not being used to the settings and menus. So far I have few complaints.
Like it very much so far.
Like the tablet 8 inch tablet is very good for one handed operation great speed display very clear but I have owned it for 2 days and already the IR blaster is not working it is not transmitting a signal so the Smart Remote work for one day and not working anymore hopefully Samsung will have a fix for it
i have been a Samsung user for a while now and i am not surprised with the battery life.i spend more time charging it than actually using it. great display quality and very powerful processor. over all its just an OK tablet not worth full price....get it when its on sale so you wont regret it.
I tried the new note 10. It's a great tablet with a really good screen but for writing it's just way too heavy, My arm was sore after 20 minutes. the note 8 is the perfect size and very useful. the pen is fantastic and the battery life isn't bad at all. the only bad thing I can say is that the screen is just average compared to the newer tablets out noW. If You get the note 8 you will enjoy it.
From the specs this looked like a great product and also liked the feel and look when it was shown in the store. Unfortunately it could not maintain my home wi-fi for longer than 15 seconds - endless search-connect-search-connect... while other devices were perfectly connected. I'm going to stick with my Playbook after all.
I'm am completely in love with this tablet. Everything about it. Firstly, I love the size, the shape, and the lightness. I really prefer the Samsung aesthetics other other tablets. Secondly, this tablet is super fast. I never have any lagging issues. I can use multi-windows and easily watch videos! Then again, I've had the tablet for only a month so we'll see how long the speediness lasts. Thirdly, I really enjoy using the S-pen. It's much better than other styluses that you would get for an IPad or other tablet. Much better. It's really easy to control the pen since it feels very natural. As well, the pen as other functions such as screen clipping that are very handy. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my Samsung tablet. It is really beneficial in my daily life as a student. It works well as a planner, organizer, and of course an overall entertainment device!
Pros. Light Weight Bright Screen S-pen Quick boot up Perfect size (for me) Cons. S-pen needs calibration quite often Not a coherent operating system between Samsung and Android influences. Clumsy multitasking operation (compared to Playbook or BB10) Lags often Camera can't focus as well as a smart phone in low light and is grainy (compared to Iphone or Lumia 920 phone). Weak battery (compared to iPad) Automatic updating apps kill battery Weak antenna reception for WiFi (BB10 Phones much better)
Love this tablet, very good..
This is by far the best tablet i have ever come across, i was a bit skeptical at first. After a few days of use, i have got hooked on to this. The camera is good, but if you are comparing it with the IPAD and iphone then it comes slightly short on that department. This is the perfect tool for people like me who have a very active life. The best feature about this is the S pen, being in University and working at the same time S pen comes to good use. i can easily record my lecture, download PDF and start to edit them save and even mail them to myself. I can multitask on the same screen. The list wont stop.... The battery life is good as well. lasts me an entire day of web browsing, note taking listening to music.
Resolution is too low, think 1st gen iPad. Twice during my week with the device it went into a mode where it couldn't maintain WiFi connection. Just a bit too wide, makes it awkward to handle, thankful I didn't drop it during my eval, felt I would drop it eventually. Plastic backing makes it mandatory to put a case on it...or buy a cover.
Great for organizing daily tasks, love the feature that I can use it as a digitizer tablet to draw on my PC!(Requires app "Virtual Tablet")
I've had a Nexus 7, BlackBerry Play book an Nexus 10 and none of them are as great as my Galaxy 8.0 Incredibly fast, light, easy to use, excellent to manage my websites, the few extra bucks you gave to pay are worth!
this tablette has everything you could want in it,more widgets and apps and tricks than any other tablette out there,i had i ipad before and this kills it by far,it has everything on it from multiple screens,to all kinds of gadgets and apps,and motion gesture screen,amazing,best tablette
Great tablet with high end specs! Samsungs multi-view makes multitasking a breeze.
Yes, I Luv my tablet and my husband said he is jealous.... LOL... It goes everywhere I go, and works like a charm, it's fast and light weight, the screen is amazing. I have had it for a few months and it's my favorite. I am a web designer, I can log into my multiple computers remotely with high speeds, it's also rooted and has fast wired usb internet. The drawing pen is just like my expensive Bamboo drawing tablet. I can read for hours if I want without having sore hands or wrists from holding it. It's easy to view outside in the sun, no glare, angled viewing is amazing. It has infrared to control my TV, with a complete channel listing (although I don't watch TV), I can turn the volume down when the kids get too loud with their games. I can also plug my usb music keyboard into it, my Yeti usb Mic, and my electric guitar for amp effects. Honestly, I couldn't even fit all the good points in here.. So try it, you'll love it too..
I've bounced back and forth between the 7 and 10.1 inch formats. 8 inches is perfect for me. The handwriting recognition is amazing. Fast and smooth.
I dont know where to start, the day i went to look at this tablet, i couldnt decide if i should buy this or not, soo i did. when i got home and took the tablet out, it was nice to pick up, i was suprised about the weight. i played with this tablet for a few days now, man!! this is an amazing tablet. i mean everything! the speed on the Note 8 is incredible fast! connecting to other devices like my tv and computer is great. nothing special. ive had a playbook, and a galaxy tab 10.1 (samsungs first tablet) both were disappointing. Note 8 has everything you want. i recommend buying this! now i know the other tablets all do the same thing as the note 8, but when it comes to having a quad x 4 processor, it makes everything flow nicley and smooth.
I bought this tablet as an open box and have not been disappointed. I researched for months looking for that perfect tablet. I previously owned a BB Playbook and the move to the Note 8 was like going from a Chevette to a Bentley. It's the perfect size for me. 7" was not much larger than my GS3 and 10" is just too big. Its not heavy either. Its fast, browsing is quick, the image is crystal clear, the s-pen is awesome. I am not an artist but in meetings, I rather write notes than type on a touch screen. The writing takes some getting use to to ensure it translates your text correctly. The battery has decent life but turning up the brightness drains the battery faster (same as my GS3). Also. they say Apple iTunes has far more apps than Google Play but I have yet to complain of lack of apps on Play for the Note 8 or even my 7 month old S3. So far, any time I have wondered if such an app exists in Play, I've found it. Note I did find icons and text not very crisp at first but there is a setting under Display to enhance it. Now it is crisp. I think this is a super tablet in my books. Samsung innovation shines through with this tablet. Add the Google environment, which is icing on the cake.
I am completely in love with this Tablet. I had the 7" first and in between I switched to the mini ipad because of the extra 1 inch, but when this one come out, that was no brainer! I switched immediately! I find myself being more of an Android kind of person, can't leave without my Widgets! The S-Pen is amazing and so handy, the Micro SD option is wonderful giving you way more extra storage for your music, photos and movies to go anywhere with you! The Multi-window option is a really neat feature too. Love it, love it, LOVE IT, wouldn't change it for anything! The prize is a bit steep, but if you watch out for the specials you can get a really good deal like I did. Don't think it twice, you will be super-happy with this tablet.
I am a Galaxy S3 user, and I am a great fan of Samsung product. So when I got this tablet I was excited about all the possibilities of using it for many note-taking I do for myself and business. But the tablet did not offer a distinct look (looks quite the same as S3, but bigger) for the price point. As you may know, S3 has the same resolution as Note 8.0. That's a huge problem for me: texts does not look good on it; contents I created look very grainy and choppy. My biggest complaint is that this tablet has the same resolution as my 3-year old Sony tablet. When content creation is something that Samsung is aiming for, the screen resolution should support such intention through a high resolution. I think Samsung, with this tablet, was thinking too much about competition with iPad mini creating a comparable or a little better product that it forgot to make this product CREATIVE and UNIQUE from iPad mini. If the pen was the only thing that would distinguish itself from iPad mini, I'd rather get the cheaper iPad mini, which holds value better than the plastic Note 8.0. In creativity, the company should take design risks if it wants to make a table that claims its value of creative content about Note 8.0. I would rather wait and watch for the next Note 8.0 because it is not worth the dollar amount on this tablet.
Great Tablet for Work and a Grad student who's always on the go. The Calendar and S Planner work great and Android OS Syncs it all up fast. The key for me is the size. Larger than the 7inch Nexus so its easier to show people items and pics/videos but at the same time small enough to still carry easily in one hand. The S Pen also keeps it professional feeling and helps jot down notes on the go. My only knock so far is that the Samsung Software and Android Software together can make for some redundant apps such as email, but you can shed that stuff once you get going. Pricier than the Ipad Mini and Google Nexus, but worth it in the long run.
Best part is that the stylus works on the soft keys. A little pricy compared to the specs, so wait for a decent sale.
Although it's expensive but I owned without regret. it has good quality screen and super responsive. Now I just keep Asus 600TF 10.1" win8 rt tablet plus this, both were purchased from futureshop. My other 3 tablets including playbook/samsung tab2 7.0 have to be given away or sold.
This Tablet is absolutely amazing. The battery life is good, speed is too fast. I can use 2 application s at the same time it's just too amazing. I would recommend this tablet to everyone who wants a tablet.
the note 8 is no match for the playbook....This tablet is excellent 4 core processor and awesome battery life. Not to mention the 4.1 OS, when was playbook last updated? this tablet is ultra responsive. I just wish it came it black. It helped me move
Just bought this tablet and so impressed for the S-Pen. This S-Pen is very useful and there is no compare with either 3rd party stylus. Everything is smooth and fast for the operation. I am very happy so far.
I am very pleased with the galaxy note 8.0! Its easy to navigate through and very user friendly. The screen clarity is out-standing! I had the galaxy tab2 10.1 at first and when i saw the note 8.0, i knew that this was a far better choice for me. Its not huge but its amazing how an inch bigger can make such a difference from the 7 inch tablets. The stylus is another nice option, it is again easy to use and i actually prefer using it instead of touching the screen. Highly recommend!!!
awesome tablet. a bit big for phone but if you are like me and use it as a tablet more than phone then it is not a big deal. i just use a headset with mic for the phone function. highly recommend it and buy it before it is gone!
This Galaxy note 8 is an absolute genius. I had a Ipad 3Generation and it was okay. Not the best. The screen is bigger on the Ipad and its ridiculous how big the thing is. The Galaxy on the other hand is small and fast. No I mean fast. I opened yesterday and I was amazed. The multi window is genius and very helpful. You can run two application at the same time. Technology cant get any better can it? I would advise you to buy this beautiful creature. Because its a life moving tablet.
This tablet is amazing. It's fast, the screen is sharp and beautiful and the S Pen really adds a lot to the tablet-using experience. The 8 inch size is also perfect and you may find that it is even more comfortable using than a typical 10 inch tablet. Note taking and drawing on this tablet is anything but a tack-on. The response is excellent and you will find yourself actually enjoying writing because of how awesome the S-Pen is. And if you are an artist, I truly believe you will fall in love with this tablet, as did I. I am an artist who illustrates and sketches regularly and having this tablet on the go, I can pull out the S Pen and within a second, I am ready to sketch. The responsiveness is really good. This tablet really is a landmark product for artists. Though the price is a bit steep, I personally think that it is worth it. Five stars. Easily.
I've been hesitant on getting a media consumption device because they are pretty much one dimensional. The Galaxy Note 8 finally has bridged the gap between professional and play. I use my Note for work meetings and customer visits because it's much easier to lug around than a laptop, and more functional than a pad of paper. When i'm not working I can use it for games and to surf the web while waiting in the airport. All in all this tablet is great!
It is a bit lighter than playbook but thats about all i can see.
I have been waiting patiently for a great tablet to hit the market, after hearing such great things about "The Samsung Note" this beauty caught my eye. I definitely recommend this to people that already own an Iphone, I have an Iphone so getting an Ipad just for a larger screen didn't make sense. This way you get the best of both worlds. I went with this one and was not at all disappointed. Its super compact and has an immaculate screen, the apps and multitasking run seamlessly. The stylus S-Pen for me was the thing that was missing from the tablet, I love to draw and am an artist and art teacher so naturally I jumped at this. If you have ever used a Wacom tablet, I always found a disconnect from just drawing as you have to look at a monitor while your creating, however with this tablet you can simply draw as if its a sheet of paper, and the s pen is pressurized so you can apply pressure to make stroke darker or lighter. Honestly this tablet has renewed any old apps and the whole internet experience for me and made them even better. I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this tablet. worth every penny ! The larger version of the Ipad is simply to large to take around!
I own an ipad gen. 3 as well as the tegra three prime and a smashed nexus 7. This tablet is the only one that allows me to stream hd live tv without stuttering from my xbmc server at home. The wife antenna has fantastic range. 8 inch is the perfect size for a small tablet. The nexus 7 was a little too small by comparison. The browsing experience is as fast as my ultra book. The 800p screen is tack sharp. Gaming performance is excellent. The s-pen is very useful..especially if you own a note phone and can sync notes across devices... For me it's well worth the premium over the ipad mini... especially when I can throw in a 32 gb microseconds Is the Best tablet experience I have had yet.
it makes it easy to have fun and study at the same time. the S pen features bring also a unique experience, specially when I'm doing some math but even crazier, this tablet can take a Sim card o_O. i haven't tried it yet but texting with a tablet like that should be fun.

HARVEY, Ill. (AP) -- Authorities say a fourth child has been freed by two suspects who barricaded themselves in a house in the southern Chicago suburb of Harvey after a foiled burglary.
City of Harvey spokesman Sean Howard says the newly released child says in addition to the two remaining children, two adults are being held hostage.
Initially, Harvey police said five children and one adult were taken captive Tuesday by the suspects. Questioning of one of the three children previously released revealed there were six children being held. Howard now says two adults and two children remain hostage.
Howard would not say whether the suspects know the hostages.
Two police officers were wounded in an exchange of gunfire with a suspect. One was hospitalized and the other was treated for a graze wound.

Filed under: Sci-fi, Previews, Star Trek Online, Free-to-play, Community Q&A
Executive Producer Dan Stahl is hardly shy in tackling the myriad Ask Cryptic questions, and today's Star Trek Online queries proved to be no different for him. While there was a hodge-podge of questions from players, it seemed as though the focus for many was on the future of the game and Season 8 in specific.Stahl said that Season 8 is due in the first half of the year, possibly in May, although there will be some content arriving this month for the three-year anniversary of the game. He promises that Klingons will "get some love" in Season 8 and hints at the vast wealth of additions coming with the update: "[It] will focus on adding new missions and storyline to the game in the form of a new adventure zone, new episodes, and another big feature, which is yet to be revealed."
Following Season 8, Cryptic will then roll out a mid-year event and Season 9. The mid-year event was compared to the game's current winter event, with the possibility of taking place on Risa.
Stahl is quite pumped for the year in general: "Season 8 and Season 9 are both going to be BIG releases. I'm very much looking forward to them because they represent the first big releases we will have been able to do with the increase to our live team staff."
Star Trek Online transmits plans for next two seasons, mid-year event originally appeared on Massively on Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

But these are not matters upon which Corps members like to dwell. "There was some unpleasantness there, yes," comments secretary Nabil Achkar, succinctly summarizing the Martel affair.
A Benign Imperialist
Richard Allan Nixon, who likes to joke that he is not a crook, became the HC of Grenada this past spring, thanks at least in part to a business card. Nixon, who works for a telecommunications company, kept running into the same problem with investors. "They'd say, 'You're asking me to build a hotel in Grenada and handing me a telecommunication card. Where's the link?'" Nixon recalls in his slightly clipped British accent. "I was explaining this to the prime minister [of Grenada], and he said, 'Listen, how'd you like to be our consul up there?'" Within months Grenada's senate had stamped its approval, and Nixon had a new set of business cards.
But Nixon makes little pretense of his status as a diplomat. He is a businessman who has come to where the deals are made, a benign imperialist seeking to remodel his homeland, project by project. "I think the whole focus of diplomacy is going to move toward industrial development in the Third World," he says earnestly. "To assist these countries in bettering themselves."
There is something almost quaint in his rhetoric about privatization and tax incentives and his tiny nation pulling itself up by its bootstraps. It is all so Reaganesque, from the earnest insistence that the U.S. invasion of 1983 was in fact a "rescue" to the two gold-capped Montblanc pens that peak from the pocket of his crisp shirt. Once a high school radical, the Nixon of today says he is sick of seeing the children of Grenada walking around barefoot. With the proper incentives and a good diplomat to broker the deal, those small feet, he argues, could be sporting bright new Nikes.
A Sense of Closure
At a cocktail party not long ago, the local representative of a once-great empire stepped atop a cooler of soda pop to address his besotted subjects. "I am glad to have this evening to properly recognize the people who have made my stay here such a joy," announced British consul Philip Grice. "Unfortunately none of them showed up this evening. Actually, as many of you know, I have been called back to London, on exceedingly short notice, I might add. They want me to help set up some sort of new trade department. I am truly sorry to report that this will be my last function here after over three years. Yes, yes, quite sad. But the point of this gathering is business. Also, please sign the visitors' book there in the front. Our government reimburses us a dollar-fifty for each name. I hearby proclaim the bar reopened." By Her Majesty's command, the spirits renewed a steady pilgrimage from smudged bottles to girdled bellies.
The three dozen Britons wedged into Grice's consular office mingled with ferocity. My, did the business cards fly. Safari guides swapping with travel agents, journalists trading with bar owners. The problem was, everyone seemed to be selling, and no one buying. This lent the proceedings an air of gracious desperation, not entirely inappropriate given Britain's economic malaise.
Grice, an amiable, fortyish chap with a bowl of blond hair and a radish nose, spent his last party clutching a Coors, openly rueful. "Come, have a look at my office. Now isn't this a spy's paradise? Look there, you can see all the planes that come into the airport. And 'round here all the ships that dock in port. But that's all James Bond stuff," he sighed. "I spent three years here, you know. Beautiful weather. Like in Cuba. I was there during the missile crisis as a secretary. Damn glad you bastards didn't drop the bomb on us."
In the next room guests feasted on canned ham and sausage, the flatulent reek of Stilton cheese -- "Britain's finest" -- rising from a mound on the table. For two hours Grice dutifully made the rounds, until it was just him and the consular staff and the stinky remains of the Stilton.
"When I applied for this job, there were sixteen other applications. Everyone wants to be in Miami," Grice lamented at the end. "If Florida were a nation, it would be the thirteenth-largest economy on earth. Bigger than Australia. Damn sorry to be leaving." He tugged discreetly at his crotch. "You've even got cable.

The songs are okay, i say they could use a lot more
plot, the music is about the only thing thats okay...i say the lyrics are kinda dead
M.C.R!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are the best ever i love them!!! i think they really have gone all out on the black parade album and to be honest it isnt there best!!!! i think the three cheers for sweet revenge album is the best with songs like im not ok, helena, the ghost of you and our lady of sorrow awwwww pure heaven!!!!
thank you equinn
The songs are okay, i say they could use a lot more
plot, the music is about the only thing thats okay...i say the lyrics are kinda dead
cool MCR! ok my fave song from them has to be the "Welcome to the black parade" and "Teenagers" also before MCR was created, the guys in the band were the ones taht were picked on at high school
I love My Chemical Romance..their songs are really good...
yea i like them ^^ in some of their music vids they're a little scary but all the smae thy're a pretty good group
sometimes i like them,sometimes i cant stand them.... i love the song teenagers and i use to like the black parade song before it got over played... they're not one of my favorites to say the least
92% of teens moved to rap. if u are part of the 8% that rock out every day, put this on your sig.
Love everything they have done so far. Only recently got into them though. The whole Helena period kinda got me away from liking them cuz all the fangirls were like "OMIGOD GERARD! *drool*" and stuff. So I thought they were just this new pop band that had no substance. Boy, was I wrong. Lyrically and melody driven with some awesome riffs. I love them now. Wish Gerard kept his hair blonde though. Looked so much more awesome.

I'm trying to piece together the Nicholson clan. I'm very interested in the James Jordan Nicholson and his descendants….
Do you have the genealogy from JJ Nicholson to current?
As a run to current descendants gets into personal data, I prefer not to post all of that. Please feel free, however, to review what has been placed in Find-a-Grave, beginning with James Jordan Nicholson.
Oh yes! I love that site. That has led me to my current spot.
