You can now automatically share your Netflix viewing activity on Facebook
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment, Internet, Movies
Netflix is more social in the US now that you or, better said, Netflix can share your favorite movies and television shows with your friends on Facebook.
The Internet video on demand streaming giant has been given the green light to share your Netflix activity among your Facebook friends. The added functionality is off by default, but users can turn it on and pretty much allow others to spy on what they're watching and liking. Thankfully, Netflix added another feature that will hide specific videos that you deem unworthy of sharing. The caveat is that you don't forget to click the "don't share this" button on a specific video.

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One Collection back on sale, release date confirmed
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Home Entertainment, Movies
It's been a long time coming for patiently waiting Marvel fans, but the 10-disc Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled Blu-ray collection set is finally slated for release on April 2nd. The collection had previously been delayed by lawsuit, leaving Amazon to pacify pre-orderers with free copies of The Avengers.
Originally, the collection was to come with a S.H.I.E.L.D. briefcase, but that has since been scrapped due to the aforementioned licensing issue. It will, however, come with a suitcase featuring a glowing Tesseract on the inside. Also, thanks to the delay, the collection will have a few new extras, such as an early Iron Man 3 preview and the second phase of films. But with extra content comes extra financial responsibility, as the price is now $219 at retail--but you can preorder it for $197.10 on Amazon, saving yourself 10%.

Investigators trying to determine what caused a radiation release at the federal government's underground nuclear waste repository in southern New Mexico have spotted melted plastic and rubber on some drums and boxes of waste.
They were able to take photographs of the melted material during their most recent trip into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad.
WIPP recovery officials say the melted material indicates there was some kind of heat generated in the room where the waste stored.
The radiation release in February exposed some workers and halted all shipments to the repository.
Officials with the U.S. Department of Energy have theorized that the release could have been caused by a chemical reaction in some of the drums. They're also looking at other possibilities.

We are all told that we need plenty of fruits and vegetables in our diets, and, yes, it can cost more money to eat fresh fruit than many of the processed foods out there.
But for most of us, the cost is not the biggest factor in what we stuff in the grocery cart. Those high-calorie corn chips, breakfast doughnuts and ice cream cost as much as or more than the healthier choices. And the more money we make, the more likely we are to get a few of those fresh fruits into our diets anyway.
But when you don't make much money and you live in a food desert, the decision on what to take home with you is more carefully considered.
Food deserts are areas where there is a lack of traditional grocery stores such as portions of North Charleston and rural areas of Berkeley and Charleston counties, and where there are a high number of people who live a mile or more from a grocery store and lack a car.
The cost of food is so much higher in those areas for two reasons: The choice of fresh food is limited, and what is there is much more expensive. Shoppers have to weigh the extra cost of the food locally versus the cost to go to a grocery store and try to get the food home by taxi, a ride from a friend or bus.
Experts have tried to make a correlation between the distance to a grocery store and obesity, but the issue is more complex than that.
The cost of an apple can vary widely across a city, and you can actually get a much better deal in a suburban grocery store on those foods than you can in areas where the stores are scarce.
It turns out that a study conducted in Detroit shows that price may be a better indicator of whether someone on a limited budget is likely to choose fresh food and, thus, be able to control their weight better.
A 2012 study released last month by researchers at Michigan State University and published in Urban Studies, titled "Price and Expenditure Elasticities for Fresh Fruit in an Urban Food Desert," examines the effect of availability of fruits and vegetables on the demand for these goods.
The researchers compared the amount of money people spent on fresh food relative to their income, and they compared fruit sales between suburban grocery stores and those at an inner-city nonprofit grocery store.
It turns out that when you have less money to spend and the fruit is much more expensive, you are less likely to put it in your cart. But when the cost of an apple at the urban store was the same as the suburban store, there was a greater likelihood that it would be purchased.
According to the study, "When consumers spent more, their purchases of many fruits increased by an even greater amount: A 1 percent rise in spending increased banana purchases by 1.18 percent, oranges by 1.74 percent, apples by 2.15 percent and lemons by 1.26 percent.
"If prices increased, fruit purchases dropped, but not as much as the price increase: For a 1 percent rise in prices, purchases of bananas fell by 0.33 percent, apples by 0.28 percent, and oranges by 0.54 percent. This suggests that demand for these fruits is relatively inelastic, even if prices go up, consumers will make it a special priority to get some amount of fruit in their grocery order.
"Within the fruit group, income plays a much more important role in the purchasing decisions of Detroit food desert residents than price compared with consumers more representative of the average American."
One of the study's conclusions is that obesity could be greatly helped in those food desert areas by lowering the price of fresh food and vegetables to suburban levels. People will buy apples and bananas if they can get them for a fair price.

Marino: US can be energy independent in 10 years
April 4, 2013
The country can be energy independent in 10 years if it explores for new sources of natural gas and oil. That's the future to which U.S. Rep. Thomas A....
Why can't companies export and get the best price for the product? Sounds like a RINO who wants to control free markets to me.

"We have to increase our energy independence in this country," Marino said.
He said that he and several other colleagues in the House will work on formulating an energy policy for the country.
"We've never had one in this country," he said. "You're going to see this country become energy independent in the next 10 years. We won't have to buy oil from the Middle East. We have the resources right here in this country."
I guess Mr. Marino has "forgotten" our (last) energy-policy...developed by The DICK; Cheney, and his corporate compadres.

Beyoncé: Seeing My Daughter's Face 'Is the Best Thing in the World'
"My husband is incredible," the pop star, 31, gushed on the NFL Network's Super Bowl Live show of Jay-Z. "He's so supportive."
But Sunday's Super Bowl halftime performer's smile gets even bigger when it comes to talking about her daughter, Blue Ivy.
"When I wake up in the morning, the best thing in the world is seeing her face," Beyoncé says. "She's starting to talk. It's just such a beautiful time in my life to have a child and every day see something new and see her learn something new."
Calling motherhood "so much more fulfilling than anything else in the world," she adds, "I love it."
As for family football traditions. "Usually we have all of our friends and we have our drinks," Beyoné explains. "Sometimes the women and the men end up separating. We get excited, but the exciting part for me is the halftime show, and I'm happy to be the entertainment for it."

New York's sheriffs have been outspoken in their opposition to the state's new gun-control law.
Now the nation's big-city police chiefs are wading into the legal fight.
And they support the SAFE Act.
"Assault weapons are enablers of violent crime and mass murder," the Major City Chiefs Association said in a friend-of-the-court brief filed in U.S. District Court in Buffalo.
The association, which counts Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda and 62 other urban police chiefs as members, views the new law as an important step in curbing the illegal use of assault weapons.
So does Rochester's police chief, who filed his own brief in support of the law.
Chief James M. Sheppard pointed to last year's Christmas Eve ambush that killed two volunteer firefighters, one of them a police officer, and wounded two others in the Rochester suburb of Webster.
Sheppard said the gunman, who took his own life before he could be captured, used the same type of Bushmaster assault rifle that was used to kill 26 people earlier in December at Shady Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"The type of semiautomatic rifle used in Webster ... is now banned as an assault weapon under the SAFE Act," he said in his brief.
The briefs filed by Sheppard and the police chiefs, who were joined by two other groups, are the latest developments in a lawsuit challenging the five-month-old law.
Derenda, a member of the chiefs association, could not be reached to comment, but a source close to the commissioner said he intends to enforce the law.
The suit, filed in Buffalo federal court by the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, claims the law violates an individual's right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment.
The new briefs also suggest that when it comes to the SAFE Act, there's a wide rural versus urban chasm in New York's law enforcement community.
"Certainly guns are more of a concern in urban areas," Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard said Monday. "Unfortunately, they made a one-size-fits-all law, and that never works."
Howard, who has been vocal in his opposition to the law and has vowed not to enforce it, said he is not surprised by the chiefs' stance on the law.
Like Sheppard, he filed a brief, although his supports overturning the SAFE Act.
Howard, who was joined in his opposition by the New York Sheriffs Association, thinks the law is an infringement on the Second Amendment and a blow to law-abiding citizens, especially gun owners.
"I really wish we could go back to square one," he said Monday,
The SAFE Act, pushed through the State Legislature following the Sandy Hook shootings, includes an expansion of New York's assault weapons ban.
It also requires mental health professionals to report the names of patients they think are a threat to themselves or others and gives the state authority to confiscate weapons if they have them.
Mental health experts claim the provision will create a chilling effect on people who need professional help but might otherwise avoid it because their weapons might be taken away.
The police chiefs, in their brief, said the link between mass murder and assault weapons is undeniable.
"Mass slaughters terrorize society at large, undermine the public's sense of safety and security, and burden the community with latent fear and uncertainty," the group said in its brief.
It also challenged the notion that the new law violates the Constitution.
The Second Amendment "does not protect dangerous and unusual weapons," the chiefs said, "It protects only weapons that are in common use for lawful purposes."
Sheppard agreed and cited crime statistics indicating that Rochester had the third-highest rate of violent crime in the state outside of New York City.
"With over 32 years as a law enforcement officer in the City of Rochester," he said, "I have witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of gun violence on victims, families and neighborhoods."
Sheppard and the police chiefs are not the only groups and individuals asking Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny, who is hearing the case, to reject the rifle association's request for an injunction blocking enforcement of the law.
Briefs also were filed by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, one of the country's most influential gun-control advocates, as well as several nationally known researchers involved in the study of gun violence.

... Roots in Water is a series of 12 short plays, ranging from five to 15 minutes in length. Richard Nelson calls the plays "a fragmented portrait of a generation" -- his generation, the "baby boom" children of the 1950s who came to adulthood in post-Vietnam America. The drama spans the years 1976 to 1988. The plays focus on a disparate set of characters including a Vietnam pilot, former anti-war campaigners, teachers, politicians, and lawyers. Radio Times
"A tapestry of American society."

"Something of the spareness and the ability to set up slow-burning trains for thought which mark out Raymond Carver's short stories"

...A comic soap opera about urban sophisticates, it's one of those crazy, Joe Ortonesque plays in which the characters say and do the outrageous things most people think of but never actually say and do – that's how Kondoleon can squeeze so much material into a feverish 45 minutes...
— Don Shewey, "Playing Around," Soho News
...Kondoleon had a very special contempt for long "family argument" plays where the on-stage brawling was less interesting than the fights you have in your own home. ...the theatrics in Kondoleon's play Self Torture and Strenuous Exercise should eclipse your own domestics... by about a million watts...

TRUCKEE, Calif. - On Nov. 15, AB InBev got approval from the Mexican authorities for the purchase of Grupo Modelo. Grupo Modelo is the company that makes the popular beer known as Corona, which is America's numero uno imported beer.That means "number one" for those of you who don't speak Spanish. The headline may seem innocent enough, like just another corporate acquisition, but in reality it's a part of a much larger plot for one company to control the global beer supply.Now if one mega corporation were to have control of the world's oil supply or some other necessity, that's something I think we could deal with, like who really cares? But try to take over our beer? When I saw the headline I decided that further research needed be done to expose this evil plot.AB InBev was formed in 2008 as a result of a hostile takeover of Anheuser-Busch by InBev. InBev is based in Belgium and is the maker of Beck's and Stella Artois. When they took over Anheuser-Busch they got all of the Budweiser products. Bud Light is still America's number one beer.Their stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the old symbol "BUD". It has a market cap of almost $140 billion, which classifies it as a large cap stock. It has a dividend yield of 1.79 percent and their earnings per share are $4.55.They have more than 116,000 employees worldwide and have about 250 beer labels under their control. The beers include Bud, Michelob, Stella, Beck's, Bass, Corona and more. Many beer aficionados have been complaining that in their effort to streamline operations and make more profits, they have been tinkering with sometimes centuries-old beer recipes and lowering the quality of the product. They have lowered the alcohol content in Budweiser, Stella and Beck's from 5.0 percent to 4.8 percent. Bass beer, which was always brewed in England, is now made in upstate New York.The global beer market is projected to grow over 2 percent by 2016 and Africa and Asia are projected to lead that growth. North America and Western Europe should have a small decline in beer consumption in the next four years.It will be interesting to see who their next acquisition target is after the completion of the Grupo Modelo purchase. Heineken and Coors are still independent and Miller is owned by SAB Miller, headquartered in London. AB InBev is also expanding in the soft drink area; they are the largest Pepsi bottler outside of the US.Kenneth Roberts is a Truckee based Registered Investment Advisor.

Published July 11, 2013
Faculty members Anne Curtis, Stephen Jacobson, Jean-Jacques Thomas and Joseph Valente have been named UB Distinguished Professors.
The UB Distinguished Professor designation—not to be confused with the SUNY Distinguished Professor designation, a rank above that of full professor awarded by the SUNY trustees—was created by the Office of the Provost to recognize full professors who have achieved true distinction and are leaders in their fields.
It is open to faculty members who are full professors and who have achieved national or international prominence and a distinguished reputation within their field through significant contributions to the research/scholarly literature or through artistic performance or achievement in the fine arts.
The four new UB Distinguished Professors, who will be recognized at the Celebration of Faculty/Staff Excellence in the fall, represent a variety of fields, ranging from medicine and education to the humanities.
Anne B. Curtis, Charles and Mary Bauer Professor and chair of the Department of Medicine, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, is one of the world's leading clinical cardiac electrophysiologists and an expert in cardiac arrhythmias. Her clinical research has significantly advanced knowledge of human cardiac electrophysiology and heart-rhythm abnormalities. She is a key contributor to the guidelines on atrial fibrillation that are issued periodically by the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines.
Curtis was recruited to UB from the University of South Florida in 2010 as chair of the Department of Medicine and to serve as the inaugural Bauer professor.
Her research interests include clinical trials in implantable device therapy for prevention of sudden cardiac death and management of heart failure, as well as clinical trials in atrial fibrillation. She has been principal investigator, co-investigator, sponsor or steering committee member on 85 research studies and clinical trials, and has written more than 250 peer-reviewed manuscripts, book chapters, reviews and editorials. She also is the author of a book on cardiac pacing.
Curtis is the recipient of numerous awards, among them the Distinguished Fellowship Award from the International Academy of Cardiology in 2010, the 2012 Distinguished Service Award from the Heart Rhythm Society and the International Academy of Cardiology's Walter Bleifeld Memorial Award for Distinguished Work in Clinical Research in 2012.
A faculty member in the Graduate School of Education since 1986, Stephen Jacobson is a leader in the field of educational administration and policy.
He is the author of six books, nearly 30 book chapters and nearly 40 refereed articles in top-tier journals. His work in the field has been recognized with such prestigious awards as the Jack Culbertson Award for outstanding contributions by a junior professor in educational administration from the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) and UB's Exceptional Scholar—Sustained Achievement award in 2011.

Muppet Mobile Lab
this wiki
The Muppet Mobile Lab was a theme park exhibit for Disney California Adventure. Part of Disney's "Living Characters Initiative" project, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker are "brought to life" through the use of advanced Audio-Animatronic remote-control-puppeteering technology.
Starting in February 2007, Bunsen and Beaker began to travel in their Muppet Mobile Laboratory vehicle through the Hollywood Pictures Backlot, part of California Adventure. The Audio-Animatronic puppet versions of the characters encourage park visitors to take part in their experiments and antics.
The Muppets' vehicle is equipped with flashing lights, rotating signs, bubble jets, smoke sprayers, water misters, confetti cannons, and even a built-in gorilla detector. Eight cameras are concealed within the unit, including one in the bridge of Bunsen's glasses which allows the controller to make eye contact with guests.
Imagineers have written 53 scripted comedy bits and routines and a repertoire of 12 traveling songs. The entire show can be controlled by a single operator from a control booth many miles away for the actual park. The characters can react spontaneously to audience involvement through improvisation as the characters can call guests by name, tell the color of their shirts and respond to unique questions.
The characters are really reacting to the guests and directly responding to them (as opposed to the traditional, one-sided Audio-Animatronic shows). The Muppet Mobile Laboratory unit is of a shape and size that would make it impossible for any full-sized human being to operate the characters from inside. The two Muppets are detachable from the unit and can be operated as remote puppets independent from the vehicle. On a few occasions, the Imagineers have set the pair in cafes, theaters and on benches throughout parks to have them interact with guests.
Dave Goelz served as a consultant for this project and was personally on-site with Steve Whitmire, observing and working on the show when the attraction was first unleashed on the park in February/March 2007. The laboratory had several private test runs - including the 2006 Walt Disney Company corporate Christmas party, a Pixar Company event, and even in the Walt Disney Imagineering parking lot. A public test was conducted at Disney California Adventure from February 13 to March 4, 2007.
In August of 2007, the Muppet Mobile Lab moved to Epcot Center in Walt Disney World. In February 2008, it moved to Hong Kong Disneyland. It returned to the US to stroll the streets of New York City as part of the 2008 World Science Festival, after which it moved to the Tokyo Disney Resort for the summer 2008. In Hong Kong, Bunsen's dialog was performed in Cantonese.
A second unit is currently in production. The new unit will be shared by the Orlando parks - moving between Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot Center. The original unit will rotate between California, Tokyo and Hong Kong. In March 2009, the original Muppet Mobile Lab (then stationed in Hong Kong) received a THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement (Technical) from the Themed Entertainment Association.
At the D23 Expo in 2009, it was mentioned that a mobile unit for The Electric Mayhem was in development.
The lab made an appearance at Hong Kong Disneyland's Disney Dreamers Everywhere event, May 2013.[1]

Senate Passes Farm Bill with Alfalfa Crop Insurance Amendment
Passes Farm Bill with Alfalfa Crop Insurance Amendment
On Monday, the Senate passed its version of the 2013 Farm Bill which included an important amendment for alfalfa and forage producers. The amendment, introduced by Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS), directs the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) to conduct research and development regarding a policy to insure alfalfa, and issue a report describing the results of the study. Sen. Moran's amendment passed by a margin of 72-18.
"As the nation's 4th most valuable crop, alfalfa is critical to our nation's food supply," said Beth Nelson, NAFA President. "We are very grateful for Senator Moran's recognition of the importance of alfalfa and the need its producers have for a bona fide risk management tool."
Although alfalfa is one of America's most valuable crops – behind only corn, soybean and wheat – it is not a Title I or 'program crop' and does not enjoy the type of safety net that is generally afforded to other program crops. Due in part to this fact, alfalfa acreage has declined 25% since 2002 and 10% in 2012 alone.
"Senator Moran has been a real champion for the U.S. alfalfa industry," added Robin Newell, NAFA Chairman. "Working with RMA to develop a crop insurance program producers find valuable and are eager to utilize will be a huge benefit to both producers and consumers. It's clear Senator Moran understands the critical role alfalfa plays in beef and dairy production, as well as the myriad environmental benefits it provides. It is essential that alfalfa achieve parity with the risk management tools available to other major crops."

I started with Trunks from Dragon Ball... then Kurama from Yu Yu hakusho... oo Rukawa as well... (I got a female friend was soo obsessed with Hanamichi that she had a very short haircut like his) What's yours?
I start with Light from Death Note.He's different from other main characteres and he doesn't follow all the rules.Love Anime Always
Kiba from Wolf's Rain and then Kazuma from S-CRY-ED
Kazuma is a good one... Vash from Trigun...Wolfwood also... Father Nightroad from Trinity Blood... Ichigo from Bleach....
i like edd from fullmetall sauske now that he is evil ichigo from bleach and chaos from ragnorak
i like ed from cowboy bebop then then i would say hige from wolfs rain.almost forgot vicious from cowboy bebop too.
Ed in Cowboy Bebop is a girl..... I liked Mays Hughes from Fullmetal... Always with the pictures of his daughter. I actually got bummed when he died... I don't like that episode.
im sorry for that i didn't thatnk about it.....what about spike??
me to that pised me off he wus cool to bad you only got to see him fight a few times but wot about roy mustang wen he snaps hi fingers stuf blows up i think that is cool
what about alex armstrong he's funny.....does anyone agree or am i the only one.
Armstrong is a riot!!! he's always like " LOOK AT THE ELEGANT ALCHEMICAL TECHNIQUE PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!!! AREN'T MY MUSCLES BEAUTIFUL??" he's just too funny... though I loved the episode where Mustang and the others got transferred to Central and when they got there Breda dressed up like Armstrong and had the rest of them freaking out!!1
that ep was funny...i remember that i love fma...what about edd and his shortness lol."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
LOL, yes Ed with the short "short" fuse...
i get it hehe lol.what is your favorite part about him?i meen beside's the shortness."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I like the fact that he's determined, and isn't going to stop when things don't go his way. The fact that he's probably the most powerful alchemist there is, but doesn't really let it go to his head or get obsessed with his power. Or the fact that he really tries to help others when he can, without any expectations of a payback.
i see what you meen when you say "let his power go to his head"like the iron blood alchemist.look what happend to him.what about the flame,what do you thank of him."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I like Roy. He cares for Ed more than he lets on, he is also very impressed with Ed's ability. And you have to love his reason for wanting to become the Furher.
but it's kinda sad,the last ep of the series...it pist me off realy.and the end of the movie too."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
What didn't you like about the end of the movie? at least the boy were in whole and in the flesh and together.
but what about the girl and roy??and also thay can never see eachother again.thats what i meant."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Yeah i guess i see your point
I actually didn't worry about that. You know that as long as the brothers are together, they can find a way back.
yea but what about the gate?they can't go back they detsroyed it.on both side's.and not only that but it's not easy to open the gate on this side anyways.that's whas the point i was trying to make."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
i think so 2
Kurama from Yu Yu hakusho the Ryoho from S-Cry-Ed, right now Light from Death Note is my favorite.
It's gotta be spike if you're talking cowboy bebop, ichigo for bleach (althrough Byakuya is up there.), Father Knightroad for Trinity Blood, Mustang for FMA and seeshomeru for Inuyasha. I won't bore you with the rest of my favorites form other animes
i always loved vegeta from dbz. holland from eureka seven was cute. i also like roy mustang and ichigo kurosaki.
vegeta.. I 'm not sure he's even evil anymore..I much prefer a totally evil character. any suggestion?
My favorite male character has to be Alucard 'cause of the way that he acts is sometimes just hallairious.
I actually just got done watching the Hellsing series. Alucard IS a pimp! I love an insane main character.
i love Insane main characters. to be honest, i just like any characters who are just plainly insane altogether 'cause they do random things.
My favorite male character is renji from bleach satsujin ken mumyo jinpu ryu mizuchi (With out light, Let the Divine Wind Flow)
renji is a good one but what about Zaraki's
yeah but Byakuya and Kakashi are better
oh yeah i like sora kh
Hellsing from hellsing ultimate "By night their is a †Lone Wolf†, By day their is †KinRyuu†..."
don't you mean alucard.he is awsome."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Mine is Demon Eyes Kyo
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
in the game world of manga i think that sora from kingdom of hearts 1&2 although it's kinda disney and anime structred 2gether 2 make a beautiful elegant game and story. and in the books it's a tye between yugi from "yu-gi-oh!" and methuselah from "immortal rain" and of course astro boy.
Kingdom of hearts is a very good game... O genki desu ka?
My fav. is kenshin from samurai x
My favorite is Kurama of Yu Yu Hakusho, L from Death Note, Haruka from Tactics, and Vega from Street Fighter II anime. ^___^
I love Kurama!!! He's sooo cool do you prefer him as a human or as Fox Bandit? O genki desu ka?
my two favorite male characters from anime/manga are: Goku, from DBZ and I'm absolutely in love with Light Yagami/Kira from Death Note!
kenshin form samurai x and goku as well as,shikamaru form naruto.
Its D the darkness which surrounds him is so exotiche only takes the time to say things that are worth saying...The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
i think light and L are probably the two hottest male characters ive ever seen[and may i mention that i probably dont know that much anime compared to the rest of you]but i cant seem to choose between the two of them. I loved it when light psycho but i also love how L can be so come and you gotta admit that he is just plain adorable at times.near mello and matt are also smexy and envy from fma too. ok i actually like tons of guys not just one or two i love them all if i could be any more obssessive then id probably be strangled.there are alot of hot guys in anime to drool over theyre just made that way. you cant help loving a lot of guys. they are just so hot the darkness is pulling me inNeAr2.0
Saito Hajime, Aoshi Shinomori, Udo Jine from Rurouni Kenshin are some of my fav.'s then it would be either Vicous from Bebop or Zaraki from Bleach.
only 1 i am nothing. i am betsuni.
Kamina from TTGL. =3

HTC EVO 4G LTE ReviewHTC EVO 4G LTE 8.5
Motorola Droid no doubt sparked interest in Android, but the unapologetic angles and massive heft of the phone made it hard to love. The Nexus One had everything you could want except a place to try it and buy it. There were whispers of a superphone coming to Sprint from HTC, but other than a few blurry pictures of a white slab and some rumored (hoped for) specs no one really knew what to expect.
Then it came: the HTC EVO 4G. The original EVO was the nation's first 4G phone, the first phone to have a 4.3" display, the first phone with a kickstand, the first domestic phone utilizing a front-facing camera allowing for video chat, and the first phone to make Apple really take notice. It won universal acclaim, Phone of the Year honors and opened the flood gates for Android. Though the EVO has spawned a family of phones and the flagship EVO 3D was launched a year later, many saw the 3D capabilities as a gimmick and have patiently waited for a true successor to the original EVO 4G.
The wait is over, the EVO 4G LTE is here. The name says it all; instead of going by the EVO One (in reference to its HTC One X bloodlines) or the EVO HD (a nod to the 4.7" 720p display), Sprint has chosen to stick with the EVO 4G nameplate and bill it as "a true successor to the original." For a phone with such pedigree, this is a bold claim. Read on to see if HTC and Sprint can back it up!
In a day and age where spec sheets look increasingly similar, HTC has put an emphasis on using premium design to set itself apart. We took notice when the One series of devices were announced, and the EVO 4G LTE is crafted with that same philosophy in mind. Fashioned from an anodized aluminum unibody, the EVO 4G LTE is a pleasure to pick up. The finish gives the phone sufficient grip, and at just 8.9mm thin the EVO 4G LTE is comfortable in both your hand and pocket.
You can compare the HTC EVO 4G LTE with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.
The 4.7" Super LCD 2 HD display is as beautiful as any display we've seen. The vivid colors pop off the screen, images are crisp and sharp and with a 312ppi density it is nearly impossible to spot individual pixels. S-LCD2 suffers from the same oversaturation that AMOLED does, but to a lesser degree so that it is not nearly as noticeable. Utilizing IPS technology, the viewing angles are amazing and we could approach 90o and still read the display. The display is very bright and we didn't have any wash-out issues using it outdoors in direct sunlight, though there is some glare from the Gorilla Glass 2.
Like the One X, HTC is sticking with three capacitive buttons on the EVO 4G LTE, leaving the user with more screen real estate. Along the right side of the phone is the volume rocker and camera shutter button, with the power button up top. They all have a small but sufficient travel, with good feedback to let you know the button has been activated. The sides of the phone are part of the aluminum unibody, but have been milled down to a natural aluminum finish creating a visually pleasing contrast to the matte black. The uncovered microUSB port and 3.5mm headset jack almost perfectly blend into the black body of the HTC EVO 4G LTE.

kickstand was a trademark feature of the EVO 4G, so it is nice to see its return. While it may be thin it is unbelievably sturdy, so much so that it can work easily in both directions and when the phone is resting along the length of it you can adjust your viewing angle. When you open the kickstand on the EVO 4G it resists to a certain point, then springs open. The opposite is true on the EVO 4G LTE, which is what allows you to sit the phone at different angles.
Like the One X, it is apparent that HTC has put a premium on design with the EVO 4G LTE. If you haven't seen their "making of" video you should check it out on YouTube to get an appreciation of what went into the design of this device. The EVO 4G LTE truly feels wonderful in the hand while packing a powerful punch with the display. It will be large for some, but felt more natural to us then smaller phones like the Epic 4G Touch. The materials used are absolutely premium and even without a case this phone is built to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. We've said this before, but in a market dominated by black slabs HTC continues to stay recognizable.

Nice review, but how come that the non-removable battery comes to the cons section unlike the iphone 4/4s. That is kind of weird, isn't it?
7. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
Idk but phonearena's reviews lack a certain consistancy that I would expect from such a otherwise carefully though out sight. Reviews seem inconsistent between reviewer and devices. Something that are cons for one device aren't for others. Sometimes more powerful international unlocked phones get lesser scores then their supsidized versions (this is especially peculiar when the only differance between the two is more powerful chipset of the international version). Sometimes the reviewer puts something into cons that's more opinon then actual fact. It's like PA reviews and comparisons are generally mostly based more on opinon then fact. During review they never actually test devices with benckmarks or test to compare statistics. You usually just hear the reviewer say 'this device feels/looks like it does xxxx better'. Meaning that however trained that reviews eye is we are still subject to their perspective on thing much less then actual device performance. PA attempt to tell the reader which device is better for day to day use. That's impossible to do without generalizing your audiance in someway and if each reviewer has a slightly different idea of what the readers want it's very hard to keep consistency between all the reviewer when scoring phones. I used to live buy pa review but I have grown weary. I love PA but, at times I see thing that seem like contradictions.
24. eli577 (Posts: 84; Member since: 29 Jun 2010)
That's why I diversify the sources which i read reviews from. No LTE network to.....whait, what?
26. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1128; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Read the Phone Dog review and see how opposite things are with a video review. Phone Dog reports better than iPhone camera pictures!....just saying
9. robocopvn (Posts: 412; Member since: 10 Mar 2010)
I just wanted to say like you when I read the cons =DDD
10. androidsbiggestfan (Posts: 76; Member since: 09 Aug 2011)
It just looks like to me they were looking for things to put in there because:
1)It is not the devices fault that there is no LTE network to run on.
2)If the camera is as amazing as it is on the HTC One X and HTC One S then there reason that it is not "always up to par".
3)As you said, non-removable battery is not a con on iPhone devices or any other device that has a non-removable battery as far as the reviews I've seen.
17. htc_prep (Posts: 303; Member since: 09 Oct 2009)
Even though It may seem biased the reason it's in the cons pile is because of the history the EVO lines have of poor battery life (minus the shift) inking out 4-6 hours of battery life with standard use. Which is why many buy bigger batteries which need bigger cases or like me which purchases a couple spare batteries and an external charger to extended the life of USB port and batteries. Hopefully once user accounts come in and if the battery isn't an issue like anticipated hopefully they will do the correct update an pull that con
18. walterwood44 (Posts: 2; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I had to put a larger battery in my original Evo 4G to make it last the day. I would have already placed a preorder for the Evo 4G LTE if it had a replaceable battery. Since the battery cannot be replaced I will wait and see and may get a different phone. Definitely a Con for me.
31. jeno904 (Posts: 1; Member since: 27 May 2012)
unlike the iphone whose sincer start had the battery non removable, Android did. And while not new in the android comunity it is rather strange for a flagship phone to have non-removable battery, hence the moto rzr and than the max. I think its a fair scare based on what the phone delivers.
2. becazican (Posts: 52; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
because no one is suppose to speak of the cons on iphone which is a great piece of technology but a lousy phone
3. AndroidTroll (Posts: 359; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
You should not blame the lack of LTE service on the phone because it's Sprint's fault. I thought you were reviewing the phone, not the service provider?
4. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1128; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
To me 8.5 is just ok, but if it is the "best" Android device then it should have received a 9 at least.....just saying. It's like saying the best Android phone around is rated lower than its peer subordinates like the Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S2. This rating makes no sense, but again it is what it is.....I'd still like to hear why its rated less than 9 if in fact it is the best Android device around. I think your rating system leaves a lot to be desired, because the Gnex is rated higher than this and only best this phone with a functioning LTE signal.
6. Crossblade (Posts: 210; Member since: 21 Apr 2005)
"Release date: A phone released a year ago and rated as excellent should not be compared to a device that has just came out and has received the same rating. As the technology evolves, it is logical that the new models should meet higher expectations."
The Sprint Galaxy Nexus received 7.5/10http://www.phonearena.com/revi
8. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1128; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
The fact that the phone has been awarded the best Android phone android around certainly suggest that it has met all of these "higher expectations".
The Evo 4G LTE has a better display, better performance, better camera, and better looks with less weight, and probably better antenna signal from the gripes against the GNEX, today as we speak. Therefore today the EVO 4G LTE has met these requirements of today, and the only lacking mentioned is no LTE.
The Sprint G Nexus rating was lame in my opinion, because it lacked a functioning LTE signal it should have been rated according to its peer on Verizon. However it it truely was rated according to the phones as of now the Evo is still underrated as the best phone to date it should have received a 9!

I don't understand how this wasn't rated higher than the ATT One X. Objectively, the removable storage, larger batter, and camera button should give it a few more points, or at least be considered a pro. Subjectively, the kickstand could also be considered a pro. Again, the lack of LTE shouldn't be chalked up as a con, as the phone at least has the ability, which makes it just as competent as the One X.
In my opinion, the Evo 4G LTE should be rated an 8.8, if only because it improves upon the ATT One X, which should be the standard that PA is comparing against.

Wow...that battery ain't worth it. Same reason why i skipped the att HTC one x.
11. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Heads up Brian: I think this article should probably make the headlines on the PA main page. I had to scroll through a bunch of recent articles to get this. Soon, nobody will know that you already reviewed this phone.
Also, looking at the benchmark results: holy crap! The Viper destroys the G-Nex in Nenamark! Kudos, LG.
ALSO (and my ability to continue editing this post minutes later is a testament to the fact that very few people probably know about this review), I believe you have mistaken the continuous shoot function with Samsung's version: you stated the Evo can shoot up to 20 continuously, when really it's 99, unless I'm terribly mistaken...
Finally (at least, I hope this is my last edit), it's nice to see a phone that actually makes superb phone calls, if only to shut up those people that come on here complaining that "people have forgotten the true use of phones."

To me some reviews I have read compare the lack of LTE signal as a reason not to own the phone, and one site suggested viewers to go to Verizon for LTE. I ran across another site and it had a Verizon add next to the review....talk about beyond biased promoting a competitor of a reviewed product telling the viewers to go to Verizon for LTE is some what misleading. I bet that add is bringing in big money as well since it is strategically placed for revenue.

When comparing specs like benchmarks and memory, how about including the original Evo 4G. Since that is the phone that many will be upgrading from it would be handy to see a head to head comparison and what has been improved or remains the same.

I just love the design and the YouTube link to the behind the scenes work is the kind of stuff I love and would one day love to do. These guys have the coolest jobs in the world.

This phone should've been the international version instead of the oneX. Seriously.

Removable batteries aren't really a deal breaker for me. Batteries last about 1 1/2 years . The phones out of date after 1 year. Just my opinion though.
23. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
With total equipment protection you don't have to worry anyways because you can just get the phone replaced.

For $100.. batteries aren't covered under a free fix with TEP.
35. htc_prep (Posts: 303; Member since: 09 Oct 2009)
What records have you checked. they are covered under the first year since they are under warranty sprint Will replace it, especially if you have insurance its free. once the warranty expires sprints ticket system won't allow a battery to be ordered. once its out of a year since the battery is embedded we techs can replace the phone free as long as you have insurance and 35 with out as long as there is no water damage. soon we will get allowance to open the phone so we can change the battery...
check facts yo.
21. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I would take it over the SGSIII.
Love this phone!
And i think there's no way it's bigger battery than on the One X could have a shorter life.
If it really lasts shorter than One X's it's some software bug that HTC will fix, just like it did on the international version.

Bigger Screen ISNT better!! Balanced is whats BETTER!! stop making these mini tablets SERIOUSLY!! this phone would have been soo much better with a 4.3 in screen...
33. jubex7 (Posts: 1; Member since: 05 Jun 2012)
I agree - I've waited two years since the original Evo 4G to finally get a worthy upgrade. I rushed to pre-order this phone, and what I received wasn't very impressive. The processor / os may benchmark faster than the old Evo 4G, but you can hardly tell when using the phone. The size of the old Evo 4G is big enough, and unless you have gorilla hands, this phone will require constant two handed action. Android 4.0 is far superior to the predecessor, but this phone needs to be usable on a daily basis. I travel between office and home and move around a lot on the weekends, this phone is too long to keep in my back pocket and has become a constant headache to tote around. The battery on this phone is nothing to brag about and you can't replace it, so unlike the original Evo, expect to be stuck with a worthless battery for the second half of your 2 year contract. Overall, if you're looking at specs alone, then this phone is incredible. If you need a phone and not a tablet, I would keep looking. I've returned mine.

Here's my question.. how do people feel about purchasing a 4G phone limited to Sprint's LTE, which could be atleast 20 months (length of an upgrade) before is operational?
28. driveme (Posts: 26; Member since: 16 May 2012)
Well lets see. This is how I would respond. Both 4G and LTE is over rated. I will take unlimited data over speed any day. Who cares if a web page takes 3 to 5 seconds to load. Is your time really that important. I have used my EVO for two years and never had 4G on it, 3G only. It has never failed to load a web page. And WIFI is faster any way than 4G. So LTE is not a selling point for me. The EVO 4G LTE is probably the best Android phone on the market. Fast, powerfull, Great camera, Ice Cream, Sense 4, oh yeah and the best feature of all. I never have to worry about going over on minutes or data or anything.
30. Locke629 (Posts: 5; Member since: 12 Mar 2012)
Last I checked Sprint is launching their LTE Service this summer and it will be a rapid roll-out and they'll have their entire 3G footprint covered with LTE by end of 2013. :-P
40. htc_prep (Posts: 303; Member since: 09 Oct 2009)
coming from the HTC Evo 3d and enjoying 4G speeds since about 2 months after the purchase of the OG Evo on launch date, and going to the Evo 4gLTE and its 3G speeds i feel like ive lost an arm when it comes to browsing (instagram and chrome) and if im using my hotspot on 3G not only have i lost and arm but a leg now as well.
but i can answer by saying at least my phone has an LTE radio so when it comes availble i can use it... the iphone and other low end models dont have that luxury in their back pockets.
32. nakitra (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 May 2012)
I have had the first evo, got it the day it was released, and it has been a good phone, very good quality, but the battery life was not very good, it wouldnt even last threw my 9 hrs of work, so when the evo lte came out, i was excited about the battery life, so I got it yesterday, charged it all night and with my normal activity, the battery has lasted about a extra 4hrs, which i have heard with heavy usuage it would last a day and 1/2 so im not really impressed, that was my main reason for upgrading was for a better battery, but now im thinking of returning it, plus with not being able to have a back up battery, makes me wonder even more if i should return it?
34. becazican (Posts: 52; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
I've owned this phone since sunday and am very disappointed, first they put the power outlet on the side where if you put the kickstand out you cant use the power cord. second when i do plug the power cord in the orange light shows it charging i unplug it and the light and little icon on top still says it charging wont go away unless i restart it. third it wont connect to the internet unless i have it near wi fi. have decided to exchange it ,unfortunately did a swap with my old phone and the store told me they couldnt give it back since it was gone already, 36 hours and its gone, i told him it would be good to hold trade in phone for the 14 days return policy period just in case this happens they said they couldnt . anyway sprint corporate made good and is sending me another phone than i will return this one. was ready just to port my number over to another carrier. battery life sucks on this one too , i had talked for 30 min with sprint and half my battery life is gone

1) on the Gmail app when trying to copy text you used to be able to just click on the highlighted text to copy it to clipboard, now you have to go down to the bottom left and click on the icon to do it. This is only on the Gmail app.
2) The menu button will be sorely missed. Now the menu for each app appears, depending on the app, on a different part of the screen, as opposed to having it always on the same spot.
The "Recent Apps" button is UTTERLY USELESS! With the original Evo, you used to be able to press and hold the home button and see the most recent 8 apps without having to scroll at all!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?? (WERE THEY THINKING?!?!)
3) The text app, and for that matter Handcent and GoSMS DO NOT show the count for the unread messages, neither on the icon, nor on the notification bar, UNLESS you actually scroll down the notifications, then you can see how many unread messages you have.
4) Gmail app used to be awesome with the original Evo. Not only did it show the total unread messages you had but also, if you marked a message as unread (even a very old message), whether you did it from the phone or even from the computer, you would get a notification as if you just got a new message! Where's that?!?!
5) Sync seems to be having its own issues as well. On the regular email app, if I set it up to sync email every 5 minutes, it takes rather about 10-15 mins for the emails to come in. Original Evo was prompt at that...
6) on the regular email app in order to be able to go to the next or previous email, one has to first click on menu and only then do you have the "next" or "previous" option, unlike on the original Evo.
7) When already on max volume and want to make sure you still are with the volume rocker, you would hear a sound with the old Evo, now you got nothing are have to actually LOOK at the screen to make sure you got it to the max.
8 ) No option to play YouTube videos out of the YouTube app when clicking on a YouTube video on the browser.
That was a given with the original Evo. Annoying as hell on the LTE.
9) You MUST use both hands when holding the phone vertically if you want to have access to the whole screen (if you're laying down or sitting back on a sofa, for example), otherwise you will be unwillingly hitting the volume rocker or needing a chiropractor for your thumb. An issue which could be avoided with a gel cover, but could have been foreseen by HTC when producing such a smooth non-grippy back to the phone.
10) Gmail and Tasks are incompatible?! I mean, what's the point??
11) The regular email app can only be accessed a limited amount of times per 15 minutes? I already got quite a few of those error messages...
P.S. I would rather not root my phone, and would like those problems to go away, help!
Gimme your thoughts!

This screen is not that large, the width is virtually the same as my 4.3" Evo, it's just a little taller. Would have been nice to make it at least larger enough to differentiate it from the old Evo. Also the keyboard is the exact same cramped keyboard as the old Evo. Really dissapointing.

60K bags provided for leaf collection
September 4, 2013
SALEM — City residents won't have to buy bags for their leaves this year since the recycling district donated 60,000 paper leaf bags to the city for leaf collection this fall....
No Grant, I would say that is your addiction. You, your Bombay Sapphire and their babies! I thought that was cute on your facebook page how you put that little smiley face on their too!
Grow up Grant!

I have been mulching my leaves for years. It sure saves a lot of raking and bagging. It is good for the environment too. It is surprising how when I run my riding mower over them a few times they just seem to disappear. I have seen lawn services use the same approach also. It works well. : )

Kill the environment all for the sake of $20,000. Typical. What a city will sacrifice to make a buck.
No thanks, won't be a part of it. That will be extra bags for whomever wishes to participate in the killing off our earth.
When that environmental "tree killing" blatant waste of tax dollars coupon comes I going to shred it and use it for some craft project. Then I am going to go out this fall when natures beauty of the season begins and marvel at mother's earth's glorious season change with vibrant colors she grants us with. The most beautiful time of the year when the leaves begin to take on the most vibrant colors that awe us.
Then I am going to grab the rake and lawn mower and I am going to mulch those leaves up and put the natural nutrients that our trees desperately need right back into the soil.
Going to add a layer around each of my trees, my flower beds and my garden, some for my house plants and the rest will go back into the earth of my yard.

Angelina Jolie, who plays the title role, shares the big screen with three of her children – daughters Vivienne and Zahara, as well as son Pax.
While Zahara, now 9, and Pax, 10, have small walk-on roles, daughter Vivienne, 5½, has a larger part as the young Princess Aurora, and needed a little encouragement on her first day of shooting.
"The first day was the day she had to catch the butterfly, and she just really didn't feel like doing it," Jolie said at a recent Disney roundtable for the film.
The actress, 38, then explained how the whole family got involved to help Vivienne get into character.
"I actually was holding the pole with the ball on the end and bouncing up and down and dancing, trying to make her laugh, and Daddy was on the edge of the cliff she had to jump off, making faces and all her brothers and sisters were egging her on," Jolie said. "She eventually did it but she was taking her sweet time and not wanting to do it twice, certainly."
Jolie also revealed that she and Vivienne practiced their scenes at home.
"When we did it together, we had a good time, we played together," she said. "I was actually shocked that she was doing so well … she went back and hit her mark! It's frightening."
But the proud mom of six said that she and fiancé Brad Pitt, 50, don't want their kids to dedicate themselves to acting.
"I want them to do it for fun only, and when they get older, if they decide to be actors, I would just ask that that's not the center of their lives," she explained. "That's an aspect but they are involved in many other things, because I don't think it's a healthy focus as the center of your life."

Your TV can be the TV of the future, and it will only get better. Revue is a companion to your TV and not a TV itself, so it can be easily updated. Plus Google TV is an open platform, with developers creating more apps and functionality next year, so your TV will do more as Google TV does more.

A growing selection of accessories means a growing Revue experience. From video cameras that let you share your TV watching experience to a smartphone app that gives you full control over your entire entertainment experience from your phone, your Revue has room to do more. Revue has the brains of a Harmony remote built right in, so with a simple software download, you can control your Revue with your iPhone or Android smartphone.
Apps for your TV
With Revue, you get apps created just for your TV, including Netflix, NBA.TV and Pandora. And with apps for your TV available in the Android market next year, theres no telling what your TV will be able to do.*
Not your average keyboard
The keyboard controller thats included lets you find your shows, surf the Web, or turn up the volume. By combining a compact keyboard, a touchpad, and a remote in a sleek, living room-worthy design, Revue gives you full wireless control over all your entertainment without leaving the couch.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Someone who will follow anyone online (twitter, tumblr, etc.) just in return for a follow to their own page. They love to blog and always ask for more and more followers. They will also do anything their followers tell them to do in fear of losing them (changing backgrounds, more blog entries, etc.)

A 20-year-old man was arrested after he used heroin inside an Auburn office bathroom, then again outside a nearby home, police said.
Connor Morris, of Auburn, walked into a building on Grass Valley Highway. Officers with the Auburn Police Department got reports on Wednesday of some suspicious activity at the office.
Police said Morris walked into the medical office and injected heroin. He left behind paraphernalia outside the bathroom when he left.
He then trespassed outside a nearby home and used the drug again on the patio, police said.
When officers contacted Morris on Grass Valley Highway, they arrested him on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance and drug possession.
