Sin, Static & Creepy AmericaSaturday, January 5th, 2008
I've been remiss in offering up another bandscan since I kicked off this blog a couple months ago. So, here's another. When I go about trying to choose a tuning session to present and discuss here, I like to offer one that features some compelling English language content, a few interesting overseas broadcasts and hopefully not too much RF noise and interference. However, this particular scan is noisy, there's no great DX catches and the content is kind of ridiculous. But as I was recording this, I couldn't help thinking about how strange human beings really are. Shortwave listening can do that.
Because I live in a very RF polluted environment, I do most of my shortwave listening and DXing when I get out of town. And while there was less radio noise than home at the cabin in the Catskill Mountains where I recorded this, it was still less than ideal. It was the Friday after Thanksgiving, and after a meal of leftovers I set up my little recording setup and started roaming around the bands.
I will say one thing about shortwave radio— if you want to hear thoughtful opinions on current events and learn more about the world we live in, then you can find all that and more from broadcasts originating from places like Europe, Asia and Africa. But if you're more interested in listening to religious intolerance, ignorant diatribes and the kind of entertainment only mental illness can provide, then tuning into one of the many shortwave transmissions originating from the United States will certainly suffice.
Besides the Voice of America (the U.S. international service) there's a couple dozen or so privately owned shortwave stations in the states, many with multiple transmitters. I believe that all but two of these are owned and operated by Christian organizations. Most are brokered outfits– selling chunks of time to churches, groups and preachers to scold and beg and talk about the bible. And to be fair, as shortwave listening in America has declined so drastically these days, Christian programmers and their listeners are by far the most viable financial resource for these stations. WBCQ in Maine, with their handful of SW frequencies have heroically cobbled together a creative and entertaining secular programming and cool music shows on their schedules (mostly on the weekend on 7415kHz), but the bulk of their on-air roster is the same holy-roller nonsense you hear on most U.S. shortwave stations.
Here's a little sample from WBCQ's weekend lineup. This was recorded not long before the bandscan I'm posting here. It's nine minutes of a relatively new program on WBCQ— Bluegrass State of Mind, hosted by your buddy "Hawkeye" Danny Haller. I've never heard this show before, but this guy sounds great and the music's mighty fine.
WBCQ – Bluegrass State of Mind 11-23-07 23:35 UTC
Besides WBCQ, there's not much on U.S. shortwave that ain't about Jesus. There's a few DX shows and Glenn Hauser's "World of Radio," on a number of stations, but the only other format that gets any real traction on American shortwave radio are the paranoia and patriotism talk shows. There's quite a number of these programs. And although they come in a variety of flavors, the're generally populist conspiracy based presentations invoking fear and vigilance. Some of these programs come from a distinctly Christian perspective. Some do not. However, none of them are anti-Christian. That wouldn't be a good business model for shortwave broadcasting in America.
And if you've never listened to shortwave, the darkness and irrationality of shortwave radio paranoia is typically more stark and strange than what you might stumble upon on your AM radio. There's an urgent novelty to millennial shortwave broadcasts from independent stations in this country. And it often makes me wonder whether I'm actually living in the future, or if I'm stuck in the middle of a poorly written dystopian novel.
49 Meter Band part 1 – Catskill Mountains, NY 11-24-07 00:17 UTC
5755 – KAIJ – Texas, USA – Radio Liberty
Years ago, it was easy to laugh off shortwave crackpots and their fear of Communist infiltrators and water fluoridation. But paranoia just isn't as funny as it used to be. On first listen, her concerns make a lot of sense– the dangers of data mining, our ongoing loss of privacy. Yet, when I hear dark talk shows like these programs I usually have the same experience– I'll be following along, thinking– "jeez, I basically agree with almost all this scary shit"… up to the point where the host turns a corner and enters fantasyland. It could be some mumbo-jumbo about the anti-christ, a rant against the U.N., or some messed-up racist twist on current events (or the plans of the super secret lizard people). In this particular instance, I start shaking my head when the "scams" of global warming and the environmental movement are singled out as evil forces. But then she gets around to the root fear of many shortwave paranoids– depopulation.
5810 – EWTN Alabama
I should make a confession. I'm not Catholic. Never have been. And when I do come across their religions broadcasts on the radio (usually EWTN on shortwave) I am almost always taken aback by how damn practical they are. The Catholic shows I've heard on relationships and sex are kind of amazing. Instead of the threats of fire and brimstone to scare you holy (or any of the protestant-style proselytizing), the hosts and priests and nuns on Catholic radio just try to help their flock follow the rules. Hell, they know you're a sinner. They just want to make sure that you confess and atone for each moral crime, according their official book of penance. After all, it's not easy to be good. And there's a comfort of Catholicism. If you just screw everything up over the course of your life, just make that "act of perfect contrition" on your death bed, and you'll get into heaven okay. Or at least it shouldl buy you a ticket for that scary purgatory waiting room place.
Again, this is just my interpretation. In practice I'm sure it's a little different.
5810 – WHRI – World Harvest Radio
It appears to be some interlude between programs on the World Harvest Radio schedule. It features a perky young tart (accompanied by a noodling new-age guitar track) admonishing all of us sinners to shape up. Rather like a cross between a self-help tape and a phone sex commercial. All I can say, is this woman is selling some damn creepy bliss. "God will use you. God will use you," she insists, followed by a sexy plastic Mmmmm-moan for Jesus.
49 Meter Band part 2 – Catskill Mountains, NY 11-24-07 00:39 UTC
6000 – Radio Habana Cuba
6005 – NHK Japan
6020 – Radio China International
Just as dependable as Cuba at 6000 and 6060, is China at 6020kHz at night. And often in English, as here. This broadcast is relayed from Albania or Canada. Unlike many western countries, China doesn't seem to be cutting back on their international shortwave service. With relays all over the world broadcasting in many languages, China is still keeping shortwave radio alive as a viable global communication alternative. I guess they might as well. They're making almost all the shortwave radios these days.
However, as much as they're investing in transmitters and infrastructure, when I catch their English service it always sounds like they're getting their announcers on the cheap. Not only are they not the most seasoned voices on the block, but as you can some hear many aren't all that familiar with the English language itself.
The female announcer is all jazzed up over the upcoming "high-level" Olympics Games in Beijing. And she's not just worked up about the opening ceremonies and all those athletic performances, but apparently the security work and favorable press commentary promises to be very "high-level" too. All in all, they're expecting a "high level Olympics with distinguishing features." Me too. As well as a few distinguishing health events once some international athletes get their lungs full of the high level of Chinese toxins floating around.
6030 – Radio Marti
6040 – Radio China International
6060 – Radio Habana Cuba
It's Cuba, with worse than usual reception. But it's a sonically interesting bit– Spanish announcer with odd-sounding Asian music splatter from another station (Do you hear some Yoko-style yodeling in there too?). Even if it doesn't mean all that much, it's rich aural eccentricities like this that keep shortwave radio interesting, as well as the psychodrama and the international reception possibilities.
6085 – Family Radio
That's it for this bandscan. I promise the next hike up the dial will be another shortwave band, or perhaps a medium wave journey. These two chunks were not every thing I picked up on 49 meters, but is everything that seemed worth sharing. Believe me, you're not missing much. And if you don't usually turn the knobs on a shortwave set, let me assure you that the reception isn't always as problematic and buzz-ridden as you hear in these archives. Then again, it can be much worse.
You don't have to listen to the 49 meter band to know that the U.S.A. has a strange and superstitious dark side. But some of the crap you come across on that band sure does drive the point home. And sadly, shortwave signals still travel far beyond our borders. And this is what we broadcast to the world– our preoccupations with personal sins and lots of crackpot dogma. And thankfully, a little bluegrass.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) was signed into law on July 9, 2012. FDASIA section 902 provided for a development path, the breakthrough therapy designation, for new drugs. Since last July, the agency has received a total of 82 applications for the designation, and has published a draft guidance titled "Guidance for Industry: Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions––Drugs and Biologics" on June 25, 2013.
The FDA's new development path is specifically designed for experimental agents that produce large and unprecedented treatment effects in early clinical trials. If a drug is designated a breakthrough therapy, the FDA says it will expedite the development and review of the drug, reviewing all such requests within 60 days of receipt, and either grant or deny the request.
As of August 13 of this year, 25 designations have been granted and 32 denied.
Pharma industry execs, who generally have few happy words to utter about the agency, have thus far praised the new program that most say will get new drugs to patients who need them faster. Patient advocacy groups are also on board, and the FDA has made significant efforts to ensure that all stakeholders understand what the new designation means.
The FDA handed the latest designation, announced by the company on August 27, to Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners' Firdapse™ to treat Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), being evaluated in a Phase III trial for the treatment of symptoms associated with LEMS. Topline results from the double-blind portion of the study are expected in the second quarter of 2014.
Other breakthrough designees this year include Merck's cancer drug lambrolizumab (MK-3475) in recognition of the dramatic clinical benefits observed in an open-label, Phase I trial involving people with advanced melanoma.
According to trial investigator Omid Hamid, M.D., chief, translational research and immunotherapy and director, Melanoma Therapeutics at the Angeles Clinic and Research Institute, "It's never a good time to be a patient. But at this point, if you are, it's the dawning of a new day where we have the return of hope of having a significant therapy.
"One of the best things about getting this breakthrough designation is that it drives patients to clinical trials, and it drives patients to the understanding that there is continued work being done."
Bristol-Myers Squibb, Genentech, Amplimmune, and CureTech all similarly have drugs directed at either PD-1 or its ligand. But, according to Dr. Hamid, the lambrolizumab antibody is the only drug to have been shown publicly to work in people for whom Yervoy has failed. In the trial data presented last year, 11 of 27 participants who had previously tried Yervoy showed an objective antitumor response to the new experimental Merck antibody.
Other experimental cancer drugs designated as breakthrough drugs include Pfizer's palbociclib (PD-0332991) for metastatic breast cancer; Novartis' LDK378 for ALK-positive lung cancer; and Johnson & Johnson's/Pharmacylics' ibrutinib (PCI-32765) for various types of leukemia and lymphoma. "We are getting meetings very quickly with the FDA," said Peter Lebowitz, global oncology therapeutic area head with J&J's Janssen division. "FDA is working with us to solve issues." He expects the designation will have a "big impact" on how quickly the company can advance ibrutinib.
J&J and Vertex, both represented at a congressional briefing on having both received early breakthrough therapy designations, agreed that the designation's greatest value was that it prompted an "all-hands-on-deck" mentality at CDER. This approach brings together the needed review disciplines, including chemistry and manufacturing, and involves senior leadership early on. The designation also provides more direct and collaborative engagement with the agency.
According to the FDA, there are "differences in what needs to be demonstrated to qualify for the program." A breakthrough therapy program is for a drug that treats a serious or life-threatening condition, and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement on a clinically significant endpoint(s) over available therapies.
In contrast, the agency says, a fast-track program is for a drug that treats a serious or life-threatening condition, and nonclinical or clinical data demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical need.
The FDA has also designated a separate senior management team focused solely on the approval of these therapies. The agency, commentators say, has stressed the importance of efficient drug development programs that show these medicines demonstrate at least one significant improvement in clinical endpoints for conditions in which therapies already exist.
And the agency says that, while breakthrough therapy and fast-track designations sound similar, a clear distinction between the two is that the breakthrough designation can rely on preliminary clinical evidence demonstrating substantial improvement on a significant clinical endpoint, while the fast-track could be based on nonclinical data such as the drug's mechanism of action.
Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA's drugs division, said during the discussion that the breakthrough pathway was designed to accommodate new science, particularly targeted therapies that may work in people with certain genetic mutations. She further noted that just because the review process is speeded up there is no guarantee of approval and that the designation can be withdrawn should a better therapy come to market while the breakthrough drug is still undergoing review.
In the 1990s, she said, the agency was not seeing drugs whose promise could be detected in early clinical trials. But Dr. Woodcock reports that companies that earn breakthrough status will have the ear of the agency. "We expect many of these would come available very quickly with Phase I data," she said.
Richard Pazdur, M.D., head of the FDA's office of hematology and oncology products, says the new designation catalyzes communication between a company and the agency and that a breakthrough designation means that there are more times a company can expect to be able to pick up a phone and get an answer.
"The designation can lead to cleared calendars," Dr. Pazdur said, "and it also means that the senior management of the FDA division becomes involved, not just the reviewers who serve on the FDA's front lines." And, he noted, a breakthrough cancer drug should be "transformative."
"The true measure of success is going to be how active we are in working with the companies," Dr. Pazdur says. "If someone gets a breakthrough therapy and it's business as usual, than the breakthrough therapy is meaningless."
And Jeffrey Leiden, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, who also spoke at the briefing and whose cystic fibrosis drug Kalydeco was approved under the designation, said his company's experience working with the FDA was dramatically different from the normal drug approval process.
Under breakthrough designation, he said, "everything is on the table" for discussion in order to move the process along as quickly as possible. Communications that might typically take weeks and months take minutes under the breakthrough pathway.
"We pick up the phone and talk in real time," Dr. Leiden said. "It makes the process immeasurably smoother."
And patient advocacy organizations are on board with the novel designation. "It's great to see that the FDA has embraced this," says Jeff Allen, executive director of Friends of Cancer Research, a Washington, DC–based think tank and advocacy organization that first proposed the breakthrough designation. "I think what's most promising is that there are drugs that are having this magnitude of effects in disease settings where there are so few options."
Dr. Woodcock says the FDA will manage breakthrough applications along with its entire portfolio of submissions, but some stakeholders express concern about whether the demands of the exceedingly popular program will affect the agency's handling of other applications.
The agency is now facing questions about whether the growing number of breakthrough designations has pulled resources away from other applications, an indication there may be concerns about the demands the program is placing on the agency.
"We have a body of work we have to do," Dr. Woodcock said. "We just do the best we can. It's a portfolio we have to manage."
All parties hope that the new drug designation will speed more effective drugs to patients with dire diseases more quickly.

In its final two matches before the start of conference play next weekend, the Stetson volleyball team fell in straight sets to Charleston Southern and Wofford Saturday at the East Bay Deli Invitational in Charleston, S.C.
Five of the six sets were decided by four points or less as the Buccaneers (5-8) won by scores of 25-21, 25-23, 25-22, and the Terriers (8-3) won by scores of 25-21, 25-22, 25-18.
Senior libero Monique Russell was named to the all-tournament team for the Hatters (3-13) after recording 59 digs over the three matches this weekend.
On Saturday, senior Kelli Carneal recorded 21 kills and freshman Cailyn Prewitt registered 20 kills to help lead the offense. Freshman setter Kayla Weller dished out 48 assists on the day.
Stetson had more kills than its opponent in both matches, but was victimized by 23 service errors in the two matches combined.
"We out-killed both teams but we had a bunch of hitting errors, serving errors, and serve reception errors," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "I thought Kelli Carneal and Cailyn Prewitt each had a good day, and Kayla Weller had a couple of good matches as well."
In the first match against CSU, Carneal had nine kills to lead the offense, while Kaley Melville and Prewitt added eight kills apiece. Russell picked up 16 digs, and Weller recorded 23 assists.
Stetson recorded 40 kills and hit .185 for the match, but committed 13 service errors and recorded just one block.
In the second match against Wofford, Carneal and Prewitt each recorded double-doubles for the Hatters. Carneal collected 12 kills, one shy of her career-high, and added 11 assists and seven digs. She committed only two errors and hit .455 for the match. Prewitt tallied 11 kills and 11 digs for her first career double-double, Russell picked up 11 digs, and Weller finished with a career-high 25 assists.
Stetson recorded 42 kills and hit .197 against the Terriers, but committed 10 service errors and nine serve receive errors.
"We have to get better at serving and passing, and we are still trying to finalize one or two positions that nobody has really won yet," Loesch said. "We need a couple girls to step up and claim those spots."
The Hatters begin Atlantic Sun Conference play next weekend with a 7 p.m. Friday night match at Mercer followed by a 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon match at Kennesaw State.

The act begins with a metal serrated spoon full of the macaroni, next you insert the spoon into the anus of the one to be "eaten out" and make certain that all of the macaroni is inside of the anus. After all macaroni is deposited, the partner without macaroni in their asshole will tongue the others anus, and eat the macaroni.

Employee Survey Reports
2015 Survey Results
From April 28 through June 5, 2015, the Office of Personnel Management sent the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey to all permanent GSA employees. Over 7800 employees completed the survey for a 75.2 percent response rate, which was among the highest in government. Survey results are used by GSA to measure employee satisfaction and engagement with regard to many factors such as leadership, diversity, knowledge management, benefits, training, recruitment, and the work environment. This feedback is very helpful in identifying changes needed to human capital strategies and programs.
Summary survey reports are available below:

GSA's 2007 Workforce Engagement Survey Results [Word - 1.08 MB]
GSA understands the strong link between "engaged" or motivated employees and organizational success. Engaged employees are committed to quality and customer service. Engaged employees will find ways to overcome obstacles. Engaged employees are strong advocates for their organization and are willing to take on new challenges.
Since 2002, GSA has conducted its own employee workforce engagement surveys. These surveys provide valuable insight into employee perceptions about working at GSA. Survey data helps our managers ensure that we maintain a highly engaged and motivated workforce that continues to deliver quality goods and services to our customers.
In 2004, Congress mandated that all federal agencies conduct surveys of their employees. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) began to administer a Governmentwide survey, known as the Federal Human Capital Survey, to assess employee perceptions about their work environment and work experiences. GSA has participated in every OPM survey.
Survey results are also used to identify the "Best Places to Work" in the federal government. The Partnership for Public Service and American University's Institute for the Study of Public Policy Implementation (ISPPI) use employee survey data to rank agencies for ten workplace categories such as: Support for Diversity, Employee Skills/Mission Match, Strategic Management, Effective Leadership, Family Friendly Culture, Work/Life Balance, Training and Development, Teamwork, Pay and Benefits, and Performance. The "Best Places to Work" surveys started in 2003 and have continued in 2005, 2007, and 2009 - 2015.

It seemed as if the Green Day Twittyerverse was exploding between 8:30-11:15pm last night. Everyone that had a phone and two fingers was punching away furiously to friends, Facebook or Twitter about one of the best concerts of the decade. There were nearly a dozen "Oh my God, you'll never believe what song Green Day is playing right now!" moments.
Yes, of course this sounds like an overstatement, but it was this feeling that swept the crowd during the show and stayed with us on our drive home. You don't have to believe me, just search Twitter and you'll see what I mean.

The Gorilla is a mating technique developed by the drunk male. This strategy must be implemented from behind so that the female is completely unaware (otherwise known as the "sneak attack"). It involved a frankenstein-slash-zombie-like outreach of the arms over a female's shoulders followed by a sloppy and uncoordinated death grip around her neck/chest/anything in reach. The male then proceeds to try and dance with the female. Women who fall for the gorilla tactic either can't think or are painfully unstable.

Writing Center peer tutors offer one-hour writing conferences to all Hamilton students. We invite you to schedule a writing conference to discuss any writing you are working on; you do not have to be referred by a professor to have a writing conference. We are ready to work with you at any stage in your writing process--from initial brainstorming to final editing. Most of the time, students bring completed early drafts to their conferences.
The Writing Center is located in K-J 152 (first floor of the K-J Building).
Either call the Writing Center 315-859-4363 or stop by to make an appointment.
Call early for best times. The conference schedule gets filled up during busy times in the semester, so don't wait until the last minute.
In order to allow yourself time for thoughtful revision, it is best to allow a minimum of two days between your writing conference and the due date for the paper.
Hour-long writing conferences are scheduled on the hour during the following times:
Mon. - Thurs. 10 a.m. - 11 p.m.
Friday 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Sunday 1 p.m. - 11 p.m.
If possible, drop off or e-mail your draft and the assignment 24 hours before your conference; this gives your writing tutor time to read your paper before meeting with you. If your draft is over eight pages, it is unlikely that you and your tutor can discuss your entire draft unless you submit it ahead. E-mail drafts to email@example.com
Try to complete a full draft before having your conference; bring your assignment as well. Come prepared to discuss what you like and what you don't like about your draft. Be ready to be an active participant in the conference.
Writers often get too close to their own writing and are not able to create the distance needed for critical review. The writing tutor will read your draft with an objective eye, give you feedback on its strengths and weaknesses, and help you revise the areas that need rewriting. The tutor will not make corrections on your paper or tell you what to say. Your writing tutor will examine first the overall features of your paper--the organization, the focus, and the development of the argument. Because the time of the conference is limited to one hour, your tutor will not go over every sentence and every mistake in spelling, usage, grammar, and style. Your tutor will, however, identify major or recurring errors and go over individual sentences containing such errors.
Even though you meet with a writing tutor, you remain responsible for everything in your paper. As the author, you decide whether to accept or reject the advice you receive.
At the end of the conference, your tutor will fill in the top of an acknowledgment form with his or her name and the conference date. You then will write on the form a description of what you and the tutor discussed and sign the form. Remember to attach the form to your final draft and submit it to your professor. The form tells your professor that you have had a conference and what you discussed; it also fulfills the Honor Code requirement that you acknowledge any discussions you have on your work.
The Writing Center is for YOU. We hope to see you soon!
|10 a.m. - 10 p.m.
|10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
|1 p.m. - 10 p.m.
|8:30 a.m. - 12 a.m.
|8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
|11 a.m. - 12 a.m.
Call 315-859-4363 or stop by the Writing Center (K-J 152).

Most exterior paint problems and
painting mistakes are correctable. Here are solutions for the most common
exterior painting problems.
(Note: Photos
courtesy of The Paint Quality Institute)
Patterned cracking in the paint film resembling alligator hide, leading to total paint failure.
Paint blistering causes bubbles to appear on the painted surface due to localized loss of adhesion and lifting of the paint film from the substrate.
Paint chalking occurs when the paint film decomposes into a loose powder on the substrate. Some chalking is normal, but too much film erosion can result in heavy chalking.
Paint chalk run-down occurs when chalky residue from an excessively eroding paint washes down onto another area of the substrate surface.
Paint cracking or flaking results in the splitting of a dry paint film through at least one previous coat, which can lead to the complete failure of the paint.
Paint dirt pick-up refers to the accumulation of dirt, dust particles or other debris on the paint film. The appearance sometimes resembles mildew stains.
Efflorescence or mottling is crusty, white mineral salt deposits. These can leach out to the surface on mortar, concrete, or masonry surfaces.
Premature or excessive fading of color often occurs on exterior surfaces facing southern and western exposures.
Frosting is a white, salt-like discolored substance on the paint surface. It is most noticeable on dark tints.
Lapping is the appearance of a denser color or higher gloss where wet and dry layers overlap during painting.
Mildew appears as black, gray, or brown spots or areas on the paint film or caulk bead.
Nailhead rusting appears as reddish-brown stains on the paint surface.
Paint incompatibility causes the loss of adhesion between coats were old coats of alkyd-based paint was painted over with latex.
Poor alkali resistance can cause color loss and overall deterioration of paint film on fresh masonry.
This occurs when paint has lost its adhesion to a galvanized metal substrate.
Poor gloss retention causes a rapid loss of gloss in the topcoat.
Surfactant leaching is a concentration of water-soluble ingredients in latex paint leaching out to the paint surface, often creating a brownish blotchy or shiny appearance.
Tannin staining appears as a brownish or tan discoloration on the paint surface from wood tannins migrating from the substrate through the paint film.
Vinyl siding warps or buckles after it has been repainted.
The paint is discolored by waxy components found in wood products.
Wrinkling manifests as a rough, crinkled surface that occurs when paint forms a "skin."
Note: On-screen and printer color representations may vary from actual paint colors.

Vietnam: GIANT APE - Minnesota Iceman Stories of unidentified giant hairy wildmen continue to mystify and fascinate us. Best known as Bigfoot but also Yeti, Alma, Noy Rung, Yowie and Sasquatch, still no hard evidence exists to prove these creatures live on earth undiscovered. But in the late 1960's, a creature, not quite human not quite ape, appeared in America frozen in a block of ice. According to experts, it came from Vietnam and could be the missing link science has been searching for to solve the Bigfoot mystery once and for all. But almost as miraculously as it appeared -- it disappeared perhaps burying the truth forever. Animal X travels to Vietnam to investigate the legend of The Minnesota Iceman in a quest for answers to this bizarre mystery. USA: WEATHER PREDICTORS Are animals able to predict natural occurrences such as earthquakes and thunderstorms? Is modern science overlooking a source of information, which could save not only time and money but lives?

UK: GOLDEN FROGS And finally in Devonshire, England a half forgotten legend of the Golden Frogs comes to light once more with the appearance of strange coloured golden, pink, white and orange frogs throughout the area.

Was it some sort of sixth sense that we are yet to discover? Australia: ANIMAL PLAGUES And finally, for centuries humankind has been invaded by plagues of animals. In the bible plagues represent divine intervention. Though today few still believe them a sign from god -- science cannot fully explain why they continue to occur.

Episode 20 (Episode 7 Series 2) UK & Australia: INCREDIBLE JOURNEYS Why do certain dogs risk their lives to reunite themselves with their masters? We look at three remarkable dogs whose stamina, perseverance and navigational skills have enabled them to travel vast distances through deserts and battlefields to find their way home. Australia: THYLACINE And in Australia, Animal X investigates a bizarre cloning experiment. Using tissue taken from the corpse of a 130-year-old Tasmanian Tiger pup, scientists plan to resurrect the arguably extinct species. Could this controversial act lead to Frankenstein-style experiments with dead humans? Sweden: MOOSE OR MONSTER And to Sweden where Animal X investigates the existence of the Great Swedish Lake monster. We examine some amazing vision which one eyewitness claims could be the creature and travel to the lake where many locals believe the serpent lives and lurks in an underwater lair.
Australia: MARSUPIAL LION Experts claim that Australia's formidable Marsupial Lion died out up to 50000 years ago. But eyewitnesses swear this pre-historic killing machine is still roaming the vast land. Animal X takes you to an underground den-of-death to investigate this intriguing mystery. USA: THUNDERBIRDS And in Pennsylvania, we travel to the Black Forest to investigate accounts of giant black birds that soar above. Native American folklore called these creatures Thunderbirds. In this isolated corner of the US we speak to eyewitnesses who swear they have seen enormous birds they cannot recognise... are they modern day Thunderbirds? UK & New Zealand: ANIMALS SEALED IN STONE And finally, can a frog survive being entombed in stone for years? We speak to some of the worlds leading amphibian experts and one of the only living eyewitnesses to get to the bottom of the mystery.
202 USA: CHUPACABRA Animal X travels to Puerto Rico to investigate the Chupacabra - a creature that sucks its victims dry of blood. There we speak to eyewitnesses who have encountered this terrifying beast. UK: ESSEX PANTHER And in Essex, England we meet residents who have had their county invaded by wild black panthers. Where did these Alien Big Cats come from and how dangerous are they? If one Big Cat expert is correct England is in for a serious problem. USA: PET DETECTIVES And finally, we look at the extraordinary tale about one of man's most fatal diseases and the dogs that can diagnose it. They are our companions, our protection and often one of our best friends. But are dogs about to become the guardians of our health as well?

Episode 1 1) US : CHUPACABRAS (DUR: 6'46) Since it was first sighted on Puerto Rico in the mid 90's, the Chupacabras, or goatsucker, has become one of the greatest puzzles of the paranormal. Said to be around five feet tall with red eyes, fangs and powerful hind legs, it's been sighted as far away as Moscow. Animal X- hits the Chupacabras trail to help unravel the mystery. Paranormal investigator Ted Loman and folklorist Jim Griffith give their expert assessments, while eye-witnesses offer first hand accounts of their terrifying encounters with the mysterious beast 2) Australia : Elixir of Life - MAGIC COWS (DUR: 7'40) Cattle and sheep in the high plains, near Canberra in Australia, are living to extraordinary ages, staying healthy and remaining reproductively randy well into their twilight years. Scientists are determined to find out more about the animals life sustaining bio-chemistry. Is it the water? Is it the soil? And does it hold the key to extending human life. 3) UK : PHANTOM BLACK DOG (DUR: 10'12) They're considered to be the most persistent of all ghostly animals. Reported sightings of Phantom Black Dogs in Britain date back to medieval times. Four hundred years ago, a devil dog was even blamed for killing five people in a church. Some believe they're protective creatures, others, an omen of death. Whatever their purpose, the Phantom Dogs have left an indelible impression on anyone who's witnessed them. Animal X travelled to East Anglia to speak to those who ...
1) Australia : RAINBOW SERPENT (DUR: 6'45) Deep sea documentary makers, Andrew and Liz Wight, experienced first hand the power of Aboriginal mythology on location of their first Quest documentary. The dynamic duo spied a snake just moments before submerging themselves in Australia's largest underwater cave system. Aboriginal elders warned that the snake or rainbow serpent is an ominous sign and advised not to proceed with the dive. The couple ignored the advice, a flash flood ensued and the diving party were trapped in the cave for days - luckily no lives were lost 2) Turkey : LAKE MONSTER (DUR: 8'00) Beneath the shining waters of Lake Van in Turkey, it's said there lurks a huge and mysterious creature beyond the comprehension of science. Animal X travelled to the region to investigate reported sightings of Turkey's very own Loch Ness Monster, a creature that may have even been sighted in centuries gone by and immortalised in stone on a local thousand year old church. We also look at amazing amateur footage, thought to be the Monster of Lake Van, which has not only locals, but the whole world talking. 3) India : KILLER WOLVES (DUR: 9'22) In Northern India, nightfall brings with it a certain terror. All ears are tuned for the sounds of hungry predators in search of young, vulnerable victims - a killer wolf pack that so far, has been blamed for attacking more than 70 children.

Ep 11 1) Russia : YETI (DUR: 7'37) The Russian Yeti or wild-man as he is locally known stands a towering seven feet tall, it's man-like body is covered in fur and its eyes are said to have an eerie glow. It is believed to have telepathic powers and encounters have led to sickness or death. Usually seen in remote areas, eyewitnesses report having seen it as close as 70km from St. Petersburg. Cryptozoologist, Professor Valentin Sapunov embarked on an expedition to track down the wild-man. Animal X went with him to investigate... 2) UK : HYPNOTISING DOG (DUR: 7'26) Oscar is a ten year old Labrador-Retriever, but he's no ordinary family pet. He has hypnotised thousands of people across Britain. Hugh Lennon and his dog have toured venues around the country confounding the sceptics and sending volunteers into a deep sleep. Just one look into the deep brown pool's of Oscar's eyes and participants go under. Hugh Lennon puts Oscar's talent down to his special stare. Even when he was a puppy Lennon noticed Oscar sitting and staring at him while the other dogs in the litter ran around. Dogs are well known for their special ability to sense things about people and put them at ease. They are often used in hospitals to lift the spirits of the sick and calm the nervous. Oscar uses his huge eyes to relax people as they are hypnotised. But this sort of behaviour isn't restricted to the stage. Animals in the wild are known to hypnotise other creatures with a threatening stare. Lions make ...
1) UK : ALIEN BIG CATS (DUR: 8'54) Thousands of sightings of the famous Beast of Bodmin Moor have been recorded and vicious attacks on stock reported - but no cat has ever been caught. Officially, the government says it can't be sure if these Alien Big Cats even exist....Animal X went in search of the truth travelling to the barren wildlands of Southwest England where the Big Cats are said to roam the desolate moors. 2) Australia : GIANT SQUID (DUR: 6'43) Never seen alive by the human eye in its natural environs, the giant squid is a scientific phenomenon of monstrous proportions. Giant squids are carnivorous and can grow to a massive 20 metres in length. With eyes the size of hubcaps, beak-like mouths which can cut through steel and ten arms teeming with tentacles they were the terror of seafarers. Eye witness accounts dating back to the 1600s tell of giant squids battle with adult sperm whales and even a Norwegian Navy tanker. Tango with the tales of titanic tentacles on Animal X.... 3) US : PSYCHIC ANIMALS II (DUR: 9'44) Throughout history they've become renowned for their uncanny ability to sense certain things, most notably impending disaster. Countless animals have been attributed with helping to save lives, often in incredible feats of endurance. But is it possible for them to read our minds, know our intentions? New research from London suggests they can, and over great distances and periods of time. In this second part, Animal X met up with the man at the centre ...
1) US : GOATMAN (DUR: 7'36) For more than four decades a creature with the human body and legs like a goat has reportedly haunted the American state of Maryland. Reports began to emerge in 1957. A large hairy manlike creature was seen by a couple in their driveway as they arrived home late one night. A posse was formed to hunt for the animal, but nothing was ever found. The creature, which allegedly has a passion for killing dogs, became known as the Goatman, taking a prominent place in the area's folklore. Reports of the Goatman are still being made and Animal X went to uncover the mystery of the half-man, half-goat beast. 2) Australia : PHAR LAP (DUR: 9'11) For Australians in the 1930s, Phar Lap was a national hero. Born in New Zealand in 1926, Phar Lap won 37 of the 51 races in which he started earning him the title of 'The Greatest Racehorse ever'. In 1930, just two days before the Melbourne Cup, an attempt was made on Phar Lap's life but Tommy Woodcock shielded Phar Lap who went on to win the race. Phar Lap died in California in 1932. Autopsy reports stated that Phar Lap died of a 'colicky condition' due to eating wet grass. However, allegations of foul play were made against owner Tommy Woodcock and incompetence against vet Tony Nielson. Animal X explores the mystery and controversy which surrounds the death of 'The Greatest Racehorse ever'. 3) UK/USA : PSYCHIC ANIMALS I (DUR: 9'36) Throughout history they've become renowned for their uncanny ability to sense ...
1) Egypt : SALAAWA (DUR: 9'02) From Egypt comes a tale of a mysterious beast, reported to have injured dozens of people in ferocious night-time attacks. It's name, the Salaawa, or female ghoul. Animal X went to meet the victims of this bizarre stalker and to see first-hand the horrific injuries they've sustained. Witness accounts vary, but most say the animal looks like a dog or wolf. Some claim it has supernatural powers the ability to change shape and jump high in the air. Following 23 attacks in just two weeks in Quattamiya, police set up patrols in the district and ordered residents to stay indoors. The animal responsible was eventually killed, but only after savaging an entire family. They claim it was invincible and when they threw it on a fire, it's body would not burn. 2) AUS : DOLPHIN THERAPY (DUR: 7'43) From the West Coast of Ireland to the West Coast of Australia people are taking to the waters to swim with dolphins as a means of therapy. From children with autism to adults with schizophrenia and MS, all seem to feel an overwhelming sense of calm and well-being after having swum with dolphins. But what's the reason behind this phenomena. Why do dolphins seem to want to be with the sick and disabled? Animal X takes a closer look. 3) USA : JERSEY DEVIL (DUR: 9'32) From the east coast of America comes a tale of a mysterious creature that's been around for more than 250 years. The Jersey Devil has been seen by more than two thousand witnesses, has terrorised towns ...
1) Indonesia : KOMODO (DUR: 6'58) It's the world's biggest reptile, capable of eating a whole deer and even water buffalo. A species that's survived for some ten million years, the Komodo Dragon is without a doubt one of the most fascinating creatures on earth. Animal X travelled to its homeland, Komodo Island to unravel the mystery and myth behind this enormous predatory lizard which has even been blamed for killing people including a Baron from Switzerland. 30) Zimbabwe : GHOSTLY LION (DUR: 7'48) For centuries, Zimbabwe's Lion Cult has persisted in the belief that at times, special animals are possessed by the spirits of important ancestors. Taking the physical form of lions, these ancestral spirits roam the countryside interceding where necessary in the affairs of men. Animal X investigates the Lion Cult, telling the documented story of one such encounter with a Spirit Lion. 3) Canada : LAKE MONSTERS (DUR: 8'39) Thousands of lakes are scattered across Canada and the United States. Almost as numerous are the reports of huge and unexplained creatures that inhabit them. North America has produced more sightings of lake monsters than any other continent. Researchers speculate that populations of giant creatures found their way into the lakes when they were still arms of the sea. When the waters became freshwater lakes, the populations remained, feeding on the fish stocks and breeding. Some experts suggest they're plesiosaurs, giant pre-historic reptiles left over from the ...
Episode 2 1) Indonesia : KILLER CROCS (DUR: 7'19) For decades, Indonesia has been home to giant prehistoric beasts that lurk beneath the water. Animal X travelled to southern Irian Jaya to investigate the incredible reports of killer crocodiles, some over nine metres long, that have been blamed for the deaths of more than fifty men, women and children. Our expedition took us deep into the Asmat jungle where we discovered a rich and superstitious culture revolving around spirits, myths and legends. Animal X also looked at one of the most famous disappearances from the region in the 1960s - that of Michael Rockefeller, son of famous New York Governor, Nelson Rockerfeller. Theories vary from head-hunters to the notorious killer croc. 2) Australia : FIZO (DUR: 6'34) Eight year old Sydney terrier, Fizo, became the first animal in Australia to win the RSPCA's Purple Cross award for bravery, after saving three children from a brown snake. Fizo was struck several times by the poisonous snake before biting the snake in half. Fizo spent the rest of the day on a respirator and it took another six months for his full recovery. 26) South Africa : HOWICK FALLS MONSTER (DUR: 9'47) For thousands of years Howick Falls, in the South African province of Kwa-Zulu Natal has been the source of legends. The Zulu's believe a giant snake, known as Inkanyamba inhabits the pool at the bottom of the falls. Rock paintings from the region show that the Bushmen who lived here before the Zulus also ...

After more ghostly manifestations, Christine and her younger sister (Cathy O'Donnell) become enmeshed in the strange life of Alexis; but he in turn finds himself manipulated into deeper cruelness than he had in mind.

Part 1 of the much anticipated, "Ace of Eights". This montage idea was brought up a long time ago and was conceived as a 6 man montage. Then after some whiners and complainers it became an 8 man montage. After time, quitters, editors being grounded, editors "resurrecting" from the dead, replacements and procrastinators, I give you: "The Ace of Eights". Thanks, Volume Part 2-4 won't be up for awhile. They haven't even been made yet. Should be made VERY soon. For those of you not understanding the name: 1. There are Eight of us. 2. We are good, therefore, "Ace". 3. I know, "8" isn't a suit, but it's a play on words of the card from a deck of cards.

After receiving such a positive response to my first "NASA Alien Anomalies" compilation video, I decided I would do a follow-up effort, presenting a few more of my favorite anomalous audio soundbites, videos, and still images that I have archived during my years of research and investigation into this most monumental of all cover-ups. Hopefully, you will see some new evidence here in this video that you were not aware of, as I made sure to include a few less-publicized (though in my opinion still highly compelling) images in this presentation. I also include audio portions of another radio interview with Doctor Edgar Mitchell , Lunar Module Pilot for the Apollo 14 mission and the sixth man to walk on the Moon. This particular interview is from July of 2008, and as you will hear, Mitchell is VERY candid about the existence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life and of the long-term and on-going effort to conceal this information from the public. In addition to his fame as an Apollo astronaut, here is a brief look at some of Doctor Mitchell's other very impressive credentials. He is not exactly some "crazy hick farmer talking about swamp gas", now is he? Edgar Mitchell - BIOGRAPHY US Naval Aviator (carrier/research/test-qualified) Instructor at the Navy's research pilot school.

X-MEN Origins: Wolverine Trailer I, like many of you, greeted the initial news of yet another X-Men movie with groans of mildly exasperated rage. With all the overlooked Marvel properties out there (can we EVER get a Deadpool movie? Two Punishers and no Deadpool? Is there no justice?), you'd think they could stop flogging the X-Men dead horse for twenty minutes. But based on what I've seen so far, what looks like an X-Men prequel may actually turn out solidly well. Take a look at this new trailer. As an action movie, as a comic book movie, it should succeed in exactly those ways it intends to--delivering metric tons of adrenaline shock on a rapid scale. Will the narrative hold up under the drive to cram action down our throats? You tell me--in the comments section! Thanks for watching.

"A Musical Feast" is back with more musical offroading. The avant-garde-leading concert series, spearheaded by former Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra concertmaster Charles Haupt, has a bracing evening planned for 8 tonight in the Burchfield Penney Art Center's Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Auditorium.
The concert pays tribute to unique figures, from John Cage to 19th century British humorist Edward Lear, who lends a childhood theme to the evening. Mezzo soprano Julia Bentley and pianist Kuang-Hao Huang are performing Cage's "Songs for Contralto and Piano," based on the poetry of e.e. cummings. They will also explore Andre Caplet's "Trois Fables de Jean de la Fontaine" and Oskar Morawetz's 1984 "Souvenirs of Childhood," based on Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verses."
Dancers from LehrerDance are also joining in the celebration. Continuing the childhood theme, John Bacon is performing his 2007 composition "The Electronic Playground," for percussion and electronics. Joining him will be the Fredonia Faculty Percussion Quartet.
Admission is $20. For info, call 878-6011.

Knee: Chondral Injury of the Lateral Tibial Plateau
—Molly | Rock and Ice Forum
Molly, Molly, Molly, what are we to do with you? I fear might be some practitioner love thing happening here. I may have to advise you to consult with someone else.I trust your bum is feeling better and your hamstring is back to full strength since our last exchange?The MRI report basically says that when you hit the ground, the end of your femur impacted the top of the tibia and gouged up a flap of the shiny synovial cartilage that covers the end of the bone in the joint.The scalpel is your friend. A chondral flap often breaks free and floats around the joint causing anatomical mischief. Your knee will lock randomly and before too long you'll face plant. Your partner will not want to walk near you for fear of being taken down as well. He may meet another woman as a result. It's just a feeling I get.The fracture site will possibly need some cartilage grafting, whereby the scalpel guy will harvest some cartilage and graft it back on. Fancy!You are out of climbing for a few months, and out of bouldering for quite a bit longer. A good surgeon will make all the difference. And then find a knee-rehab specialist who is highly recommended.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common hepatic disorders in the United States, but uncertainty remains as to the optimal way to manage it. Using the case of Mr T, a 60-year-old man with obesity, diabetes mellitus, and increased serum transaminase levels, an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and treatment is discussed. Diagnosis of NAFLD is based on patient clinical profile and risk factors for metabolic syndrome, the exclusion of other liver diseases, radiologic imaging and sometimes biopsy. At this point in Mr T's disease, the most important step is differentiation between simple steatosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Simple steatosis has a benign natural history, but NASH is progressive and may lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. An evidence-based approach to treatment is limited by lack of large randomized trials, particularly of combinations of therapies, but weight loss, exercise, and medical therapies targeted at the mechanism of liver injury in NASH are recommended. Improved noninvasive diagnostic tests, a clearer understanding of the natural history of NAFLD, and large, well-designed clinical trials are needed.

Screen comparison of Sony Xperia Z vs HTC Butterfly shows almost perfect calibration by HTC
0. phoneArena 18 Feb 2013, 05:07 posted on
If you are a screen purist, you will be interested in color calibration, viewing angles and contrast ratings a bit more than whether your mobile screen is HD or Full HD, where, for all practical purposes, the difference is negligible from a normal viewing distance...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Terrible viewing angles on the Z, the HTC One will crush it.
2. Emily1985 (Posts: 127; Member since: 08 Nov 2012)
viewing angles i do not care but poor camera
, poor video recording and very poor sound quality i do care.
And yes, higher resolution does not mean better screen or a better camera.
35. timaustin2000 (Posts: 39; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
Emily - there's nothing wrong with the camera! Phonearena were just being over-critical. I've done my own tests on it now: While there's nothing "next gen" or revolutionary with the camera on the XZ, neither is it noticably worse than any other high-end phone camera. Indeed, I prefer the saturation and white balance it offers to the competition. People are over-reacting.
9. rgxVOiD (Posts: 440; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
Seriously, what's with the viewing angles? Do you not use the phone by looking straight at it? I'm not saying that Z is the best or anything here, I just don't understand people
29. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
You likely have IPS or AMOLED screen on your phone and you'd be surprised how quickly viewing angle issues come up with TFT. You can't always hold the device looking straight at you face, but bigger issues come when it's on the desk, charging pad, bed, docking station, in the car etc., and all of the sudden you look at a low-contrast 441ppi mess and have to pick it up every single time.
We've been treated so well on the viewing angles front that many can't image it being a real issue, yet everybody at CES or picking up the review unit instantly noticed the problem. Don't burn $800 before you are absolutely convinced in the store that it's good enough for you, that's he most sound advice one can give.

if you look at your phone from angles, i suggest you to visit your doctor as fast as possible.
60. harshithh (Posts: 12; Member since: 18 Feb 2013)
viewing angles doesnt ply a important role in mobile!!coz nobody gonna operate thier mobile keeping it slant of making it tilt.the just use thier mobile wen the eyes are parallel to screen!!!
3. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
i think it's time for sony to move from TFT to LCD or even OLED.. i know they can make much better screen than the one on the Z.. i have walkman x series mp3 palyer which has an oled screen.. i think their oled screen is pretty good..
32. o7o (Posts: 111; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
You do know that TFT is a LCD, right?
36. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
i know it.. maybe i should say super lcd instead just said lcd.. but sometimes sony keep makes me confuse by keep saying TFT while other manufacture already use "LCD" words for their display technology..
62. o7o (Posts: 111; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
Yeah, that makes sense now. :)
46. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
yeah, i think its time to switch over to OLED. I luv deep blacks and saturated colours. sony should put some more muscle in oled display R&D.
64. mobiuspizza (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Feb 2013)
Actually, What Xperia Z needs is IGZO screen. With that, the phone is near perfection.
4. AshishRomea (Posts: 145; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
use Z screen caliberation and get saturation right !
and yeah no htc can crush sony just coz viewing angles are great , Z is just more than specs !
5. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
I agree with this one. That's really a good article there. Somehow, the general biases of phonearena don't manifest when Sony is pitted against Samsung and Apple.
Sony should really improve their displays. What's wrong with this company? I thought they're offering the best of Sony in this smartphone. Makes you cringe at the thought of how good their other products are if the XZ is the best they can offer.
20. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
imean the general biases of phonearena don't manifest when Sony is pitted against HTC or Nokia...
47. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
i agree with u there... i hv to give htc credit over here.
6. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
lol Only people who is not alright will be concerned about screen viewing angles. Unless you are not mentally alright, there is 100% no need to tilt your phone while viewing.
Needless to say, Galaxy S3 cannot even display whites properly. Oddly, PhoneArena is always praising that highly saturated screen.
7. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
as far as i know it turns out the opposite.. phonearena never really like the oversaturated screen of super amoled.. they tend to prefer the more natural one like super lcd or ips screen..
8. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
Read the comparison between Xperia Ion and Galaxy S3.
PA said S3's screen got the edge as the screen has punchy colours, compared to the fairly accurate ion.
Anyways PA is anti Sony. Even CNET praises Xperia Z's screen. In fact between CNET, PA and GSMarena, only PA said Sony's camera were not impressive unlike the rest.
11. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
yeah but in other comparison like the s3 vs one x or s3 vs optimus g PA simply prefer the slcd on the one x and the ips on the optimus g..
15. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
This simply shows PA is biased against Sony. They immediately loved the over saturated screen when comparing with Sony.
18. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
haha.. no comment about that..
10. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Where in the article is the s3 being mentioned, the droid DNA > Xperia z display yet you felt the need to bring in an almost 1 year old phone for comparisons sake. Inferiority complex from the Sony Camp as always, I like Sony but as always their diehards are the most vocal alongside Nokia who don't like any hint of criticism or others that don't agree with them.
19. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
Nah. I'm not a Sony die hard fan. I have criticisms of Sony. But the biasness by PA is too hard to ignore.

I wouldn't take any of these two phones,because the screen is not as bright as I would want to,because I use my phone outdoors very much,and I need a phone with very bright screen.I mean even if they are very bright,the fullHD screen with full brightness would eat the battery life for instance,I've had Xpera S and I always turned on the power saver with the display being 0% because it was eating battery life!

Contrast 570:1? That's really bad, even compared to Sony's old Xperia S.
21. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
or something could be wrong with that unit. though i'm really almost convinced that's just how the final xz really will be. really disappointing. this coming from someone who hopes sony makes a comeback.
22. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
sony fans please be objective. if we continue to act like there's nothing really wrong, sony will never realize that they need to fix something. you are not helping the company by making them think everything's just fine when it's not.
23. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
Yes. I'm very objective. There's nothing wrong. Let's be factually normal. We do not tilt phones by more than 30 degrees to view the screen. Unless there's a problem with your brain processing images.
25. rgxVOiD (Posts: 440; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
Could just be a pre-production software, or just this phone. It always happen when the test unit have problems.
Yes there is something wrong, and what do you want me to do. Just not buy a phone that I like?
26. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
of course not. please buy it. what i'm saying is sony fans are a captive market. what we want is to increase sony's share of the market. we can't convince other people to buy sony if that would mean offering them something that is inferior (according to their standards).
the sales figures of other manufactures would show that there is preference for displays with wider viewer angles. after all, not all of them buy their phones for practical uses. most of them buy it for the bragging rights.
the xz looks good with the screen turned off but with the display on, the way the colors fade simply discourages potential buyers that we would have wanted to choose a sony.
27. redmd (Posts: 1268; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Sony phones all have bad viewing angles since their 2010 flagships with the Xperia Arc then with the Xperia S and now the Xperia Z. They have not improved unike HTC using IPS tech on their Super LCD2. They should move to IPS tech or use OLED instead.
lee it seem to me you have yet to get your hands on the HTC One X or the Galaxy S3 or the iP4/4S/5. Viewing angles matters.
24. harshithh (Posts: 12; Member since: 18 Feb 2013)
phone arena always shows negative aspects of sony!he never highlights the positive aspects of sony. whereas he hides all negative aspects of samsung,htc nd other brands.nd shows only positive character of them .he is too biased.!!! gsmarena is much better than phonarena!

37. GALAXY-STORM (Posts: 328; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
I think you need to read sxz's review in gsmarena which says display was a disappointment apart from being the current benchmark king. Accept the truth.
54. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
i think you hv misunderstood his comment. i dont think he is saying that he disagrees with any con but is saying that they only tell you the con, that too smtimes exaggerated, and dont focus on the good stuff.

I was going to reply back with a snarky, "No it doesn't, none of the slides say anything at all--including titles, axis descriptions, values, etc." But I have to agree with you about #4.
Still... label the damn charts. 8th Grade science/math fail.
58. oyalinkaya (Posts: 19; Member since: 25 Jan 2013)
Yeah, but it tells me that "screen-purist" have their heads tilted 45 degrees backwards. Otherwise there is no need to use that phone in such a wierd angle.
They are called handsets for a reason: They are bound to be in one's hand.
On the other hand, that viewing angle of Z is weaker when it comes to left-right tilts. So, people cannot read what you are reading/writing unless they are looking over your shoulder. ^_^
That's why I love TFT's. And by the way, read the last sentence of the review. The author has definitely praises Bravia engine...
30. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
another reason for sony's fans to weep
34. pyradark (Posts: 855; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
My guess xperia Z is on default adjustment, there is a display calibration to make things more saturated and adjust other stuff. I hope they show sample on it. There is no cure on viewing angle!! Hahaha
Cant wait to get one
38. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
News after news the Xperia Z is making me more disappointed. I'm still considering it though. I'll see how I like it against the HTC one, Samsung Galaxy S IV, and the LG Optimus pro.

So far all the reviews I read are critical of the camera and the viewing angle thing. Making me confuse wether to buy it or not. Might as well wait and see what htc one has to offer and which comes out first and of course the price.

HTC's quality is over Sony's.

Sony products are way better than HTC. My two Xperia S had the yellow tint and the screen wasn't as nice as the specs would suggest, but at least they were well built and everything worked great. The Xperia keyboard is actually the closest to swift key and the Z10 keyboard.
The two One X and 8x I have owned. Terrible. I already gave them 4 shots at different times. You know the M7 is going to have some type of big issue.

Really PA. You're like the movie INCEPTION you keep on injecting trashes in our minds that Xperia Z isn't a good phone. Sony didn't pay enough bucks to you right?

look at third image. Z has better sun legibility as we can see more vivid colors on its screen.

PITTSBURGH - Paul Chryst is staying at Pitt!
It says something about college sports when there's a headline because a coach is staying at a school where he signed a contract less than a year ago.
Chryst's continuing presence at Pitt became an issue because the Wisconsin job suddenly opened, and that was perceived to be his dream job. (Most dream jobs involve some sort of geographic or family ties and, not coincidentally, pay more).
Nothing lasts forever, and a lot of college coaching tenures don't last the length of a contract. We had the case of Rich Rodriguez, whose success at West Virginia led Alabama to pursue him after the 2006 season. Rodriguez stayed at Morgantown after WVU upgraded his contract and he reaffirmed his commitment.
That love affair lasted until the next year, when Rodriguez bolted for Michigan. The lawyers racked up a lot of billable hours settling things.
This all happens under the supervision of the NCAA, which has strict restrictions on student-athlete transfers, even though you'd expect an 18-year-old to be more likely to make a regrettable mistake when choosing a destination. It won't change, either, as long as athletic directors and university presidents are constantly conference hopping to chase the best deals.
Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez stepped in to announce that he wouldn't take Chryst from Pitt after recommending him. Pardon the cynicism, but was that a convenient way to take Chryst off Wisconsin's radar so Alvarez could focus on a candidate he preferred more?
It's interesting that the most unethical headhunting doesn't take place in a cutthroat professional league, but rather among institutions of higher learning.
Sometimes it leads to failure. Michigan fired Rodriguez after three seasons, in which he had the lowest winning percentage in school history (.405) and failed to beat rivals Ohio State and Michigan State.
One good thing about Chryst staying put: It assures that Pitt won't play in that inconsequential bowl game for the third straight year with an interim coach in charge.
Still locked
Oh, those crazy hockey players. They trusted the NHL. They thought the league was serious about getting a deal done through reasonable bargaining.
The faces at the table may have changed, but the NHL stayed the course. When it comes to give and take, they're only interested in half of that menu. The league wants surrender, not compromise. The whole dispute has been founded on the idea that the players will cave in, and the NHL isn't budging from that position.
