Then what are pokemon moves, if moves are their equipment? And while they tried to tell a meaningful story in Gen 5, they lost certain game play aspects of choice, And even in Gen 5, there is very little interaction between the main character and the world, which it cannot be blamed for since they are a silent protagonist.
The point is that Pokemon have a lot of room for customization regarding what they can do in battle. There is choice here.
As for the latter, no. A story can be meaningful and not lose anything despite a lack of interaction with it. Even when one functions as an observer, a story does not lose meaning. That said, silent protagonist aside? You're still functioning as an important part of the story, by being the catalyst that makes N change his mind.
Even your choice of starter at the beginning of the original BW because you will always fight the gym leader of which your type is weak against, and they just gave you a monkey anyway. Compare that to those who picked Charmander or Chikorita in Gens 1 and 2. You didn't know what you were going to be up against, and once you found out that you were at a disadvantage you had to find a way around them. On the other had, if you picked the other two starters you would have a far easier time.
The first gym wasn't meant to be a standard first gym, but a way to help teach newer players about type matchups. It wasn't a traditional gym and shouldn't really be held to the same standards as a result.

They could have easily done that like they did with this game and just have the starters start with their type moves. Bosses are usually there to allow you to apply what you've learned up to that point in the game, which sadly pokemon games do not do well in the first place since it's very easy to make bosses use the mechanics well, but that is a completely different story.

2 and 5 are my favorite. My least favorite is probably 4, but that's not saying I don't like it. I like all gens.

To me, I always thought the newer games were better than the older ones, so this is pretty much my opinion:
6 > 5 = 4 > 3 >>> 2 = 1
In short, I liked 4th Generation, but not the 2nd one.
Pokemon X and Y are currently my favorite, slightly above Black and White 2 and Pokemon Platinum, while all re-released Generations are my least favorite, which there were 4 of them: FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.

They're IMO, the worst two
Pretty much.
Gen 1 is objectively the worst. Not even "good but still the worst", just awful. It does not deserve the worship it gets.

> People that wants Virtua Fighter 5 R to be released on console comes from 43 different countries (estimated).
My second blog post ever. I think I will use this blog to constantly update the status of the international Virtua Fighter community's effort to compiled a 500 page document that will be directly handed to Sega. The document is to let Sega know that their is a large community of fans outside of Japan that wants to have the opportunity to play the latest version of Virtua Fighter (Virtua Fighter 5 R). To hear the long story/summary of our effort you can read up on it, in my first blog post here.
Anyways, a lot of people in the Virtua Fighter community understand that this effort may not bear fruit of a console relase of Virtua Fighter 5 R. However, the main push of this effort, is to give Sega a clear message from their fans outside of Japan; and that message is:
"...If you could rally your respective communities to aid our cause, then I'd be ever so grateful. I'm not deluded into thinking that a 500 page fan-produced document is going to dictate how SEGA will spend their money, but I care enough to get a message across. And that message is that Fighting Game fans outside of Japan, from the casual to the hardcore, are tired of being treated as second rate citizens, and sometimes worse."
This is taken from a letter that Myke (administrator of VFDC) wrote to other fighting game communities to help our cause. And many fighting game communities did come through and helped out the Virtua Fighter community, which we are really grateful for their help.
Here, I hope this blog will bring more awareness to other gaming communities and just fans of video games in general, the effort that Virtua Fighter community has undertaken to get our message heard by Sega.
Thanks again for anyone that read the blog and is willing to help the VFDC cause,

Franco considering Tyrone job; Guthoff out
The Tyrone Area High School football coaching position is officially open, and John Franco is not ruling out the possibility of applying for the job.
Franco, who won 190 games as Tyrone's coach from 1994-2011, has spent the last two seasons as Altoona's head coach.
"I might think about [applying for the Tyrone job]," Franco said Wednesday after Steve Guthoff resigned after two seasons as Tyrone's head coach. "Steve had told me he couldn't do the job anymore – it was taking up too much of his time. With some things going on in his life, he felt like he couldn't put the time in. He had asked me if I would consider taking over for him, and I told him when the time comes I would think about it."
Franco said he is not dissatisfied at Altoona – although he openly called for the school to leave the WPIAL last year before his team went 2-7 during the 2013 season. He had said the Lions had "no opportunity to win [the WPIAL title]."
"There are a lot of good people there [at Altoona]." Franco said, later adding, "I'm conducting our winter program and working on recruiting [Altoona non-football players]. I've started the weight program. We're taking care of business as usual."
But Franco said he hasn't spoken to the Altoona players yet about his interest in the Tyrone job. He also said he hasn't yet responded to Altoona athletic council chairman Dick Lockard's question about his coaching plans for this season.
"I'm waiting to sit down and talk with [Guthoff] and see what his plans are," Franco said. "I want to see where he's going to go and what he wants to do. We are good friends, and he's a former coach of mine. I'm not sure if I want to apply [for the Tyrone position]. I'm open to listening, but I've had no contact with the Tyrone School Board – no one there has talked to me. My contact has been through Steve, and that's been ongoing for the last 12 years. We've had a pretty good relationship."
Guthoff went 17-7 in his two seasons as Tyrone's head coach after previously coaching at Philipsburg-Osceola, Bellefonte and Lewistown. He was on the staff at Tyrone when Franco's team advanced to the Class AA state championship game in 2011.
Tyrone announced Guthoff's resignation by posting a message on its website Wednesday.
"The Superintendent received an email dated Tuesday, January 21, 2014 from Head Football Coach, Steve Guthoff, indicating his intent to resign his position. The normal procedures for filling the vacancy will be followed with the position being advertised and applications accepted," it read.
A message left for Guthoff on Wednesday was not returned.
"Steve was great to work with," Tyrone athletic director Luke Rhoades said after coaching the Tyrone high school girls basketball team in Bellefonte on Wednesday night. "He was very supportive of the administration and the student body."
The Tyrone school board's next meetings are scheduled for Feb. 4 and Feb. 11. Rhoades said his focus right now is on the girls basketball team, but the football coaching search will be done in a "timely manner."
Franco left Tyrone in 2012 to return as Altoona's coach – he was the Altoona coach from 1986-93 and has been an AASD teacher since 1986 – when Tyrone didn't meet his desire for a full-time position, preferably in administration. He also cited the 17-mile drive from Altoona to Tyrone as a factor in his decision and has since changed his residence from Tyrone to Altoona.
Franco has served two years of the four-year contract he signed that pays him roughly $12,000 to coach football and run the weight room. Franco was adamant that no behind-the-scenes deals have taken place with Tyrone, despite what is being written in social media, and he hasn't put a timetable on his decision.
"There is nothing at this point," he said. "People talk about different jobs all the time."
The Tyrone job, though, was one Franco said he enjoyed.
"That was a great time for me," he said. "I don't have a negative word to say about my time at Tyrone. We had a great run there."

I think they are as long as there aren't any other weird ingredients in there.
It depends on how "caveman" you want to go.
They wern't eating pork rinds, but they were eating wild pigs.
I wouldn't use them as a staple food, but a treat once in awhile should be ok (if you're not super strict with your food rules)
Yum. I love them. If they help keep you on track then that is a good thing. Just watch for additives as stated above.

Make sure you read all the labels. Most of the commercial packaged Pork Rinds have a lot of preservatives and MSG. Best make your own Cracklins. Pork skin fried in it's own rendered fat is pretty awesome.
There are some commercial ones that are just pork rinds and salt. Smithfield Original is one if I remember correctly. Good stuff.
These are pretty good (follow link). You're in Northern California so you can find these at Lucky and Safeway for $2. I think the ingredients are pork skins, pork fat and some salt. Not a good staple as somebody already stated, but a great snack with salsa...mmmmmmm.
Most plain / "original" pork rinds are nothing but pork skin and salt. I've actually yet to see a brand with ingredients beyond those. Buy them and flavor them yourself if you want to. I go through three or four bags a month, they're great for when you're still a little hungry after a meal.

They are great for guacamole or any other dip as well. When you have that cravin' for somethin' crunchy they do the trick. Great for parties.
Especially good as carriers for butter pats.

Film Review: 'Concussion' Can't Quite Tackle its Difficult SubjectSubmitted by PatrickMcD on December 25, 2015 - 6:56am
CHICAGO – "Concussion" suffers from what I call the "Moneyball" problem – it's got an interesting subject matter, but it doesn't seem to know what to do with it. It doesn't have enough faith in its own material or its audience, so it stocks up on a lot of off-the-shelf melodrama in effort to avoid digging into what makes the story interesting in the first place. It's also a movie that chickens out at the end and seems afraid to pick a fight.

Blu-ray Review: Minor Woody Allen Comedy 'To Rome with Love' Still DelightsSubmitted by mattmovieman on January 31, 2013 - 9:54am
CHICAGO – After acknowledging that the rewards of reality are infinitely preferable to the shallow pleasures of a nostalgic dreamworld in his Oscar-winning crowd-pleaser, "Midnight in Paris," Woody Allen's tirelessly neurotic psyche appears to be more calm and serene than ever before. Perhaps his compulsion to make one picture a year has finally brought him some sort of therapeutic catharsis.

Kennel where Biden bought dog is cited
The Pennsylvania kennel where Vice President-elect Joe Biden bought his German Shepherd puppy was cited for records violations days after he picked out the dog.
After a regularly scheduled inspection on Dec. 10, four days after Biden picked out his 3-month-old puppy, the Wolf Den Kennel was cited for a record-keeping violation and failure to produce records of rabies vaccinations, according to state records. Each citation carries a fine of $50 to $300.
Linda Brown, who also operates the kennel in Chester County as Jolindy's German Shepherds, said she had never before been cited, and said the records in question were accidentally tossed out when the kennel cleaned up in preparation for Biden's visit.
"We went in there and cleaned everything up and I didn't even think about it," she said. "How many times does the vice president visit? Maybe once in a lifetime?"
Brown said she had since gotten copies of the rabies vaccinations and given them to state officials.

We purchased a Jolindy GSD pup on Dec 2, 2005 who we love dearly. BUT – poor breeding. He has chronic SIBO, Anal Fistulas and latest dx EPI. We purchased his and brought him home from Jolindy's when he was only 5.5 weeks old – too soon we now know. He had Giardia and was on medications for SIBO for the first 6 months of his life. SIBO continued every few months which required more medication. Now at 3 yrs old he is struggling to keep weight on, absorb nutrients along with PAF surgery 6 months ago. We also were promised AKC registration papers – never received – but sent some unknown "registry papers" from a "registry" that did not even provide a telephone number – just a PO Box……. We gave up on papers after 6 months of hounding Linda Brown. Bottom line – we LOVE this dog and he loves us back – His body tries so hard to get better but the effects of Linda's greed = poor breeding – and false assurances – Our dog will never get to be a "senior" GSD

We also bought a puppy from Linda Brown eight years ago. We were recommended by a neighbor who had a very nice GS. The barn was disgusting, and smelled awful, and she would not show us the Mom, we only got to see the father and the grandfather of our puppy… we loved our Lexi, but she was very high strung, and we NEVER received our papers for her even after constantly asking Linda for them. I am also sad to say Lexi died of Liver cancer at the age of 8.
That is very young for a GS. LInda should not be allowed to sell dogs!!! I wish I had written this sooner. and to top it off she still brags on her website that VP Joe Biden bought a puppy from her.

I bought a GS in September 2008 from Linda. Ania is a fabulous dog, never sick, fine hips and great disposition. She might be a litter mate of Biden's dog. Linda showed us both parents and was forthcoming about everything. Other than worming, Ania needed nothing. The place was fine if one does not expect a sterile environment. puppies poop and pee constantly and smell like normal animals do. I am really happy with Ania and hope to get my next GS from Linda. Best puppy ever, I have not been without a GS in 52 years.

For OS X 10.7+: Download Scroll Reverser v1.7.2 (26 May 2015; release notes)
For OS X 10.4+: Download Scroll Reverser v1.5.1 (12 Mar 2012)
Scroll Reverser is a free app for Mac OS X that reverses the direction of scrolling. It is available for all versions of OS X from 10.4 Tiger through 10.11 El Capitan.
It has independent settings for trackpads, mice and Wacom tablets, and for horizontal and vertical scrolling.
Scroll Reverser was made by Nick Moore. The source code is available. To get in touch, contact email@example.com or tweet @pilotmoon. Please also check out my other apps.
Scroll Reverser is completely free of charge. However, if you wish to make a voluntary donation you can do so below.
FAQ / Troubleshooting
It doesn't detect my trackpad. If you have an older Mac without a multi-touch trackpad (late 2007 and earlier) then Scroll Reverser will see your trackpad as a mouse. This also affects some Logitech external trackpads.
Scroll Reverser sees my trackpad as a mouse after my Mac wakes from sleep. This is a known bug. Currently the only workaround it to quit and restart Scroll Reverser.
Does it reverse 3-finger and 4-finger swipes too? No, it only reverses scrolling. The other gestures are a lot more complicated, and I won't be able to add support for them.
I am controlling a machine via remote desktop, and Scroll Reverser is running on both the local and remote machine. Anything I can do to make it work nicely? Run this command at terminal on the remote machine:
defaults write com.pilotmoon.scroll-reverser ReverseOnlyRawInput -bool YES then quit and restart Scroll Reverser.

- New algorithm to (hopefully) distinguish more accurately between trackpad and mouse.

Visit your doctor immediately in case you are taking Xenical so you encounter a serious case of oily bowel movement. I had exactly the same problem myself until I figured your cause and solution. The Mayo Clinic suggests that the weight loss brought about with the Alli Capsule is smaller compared to the fat loss caused from the diet program. Alli actually usually be the brand new trend as more Americans start to lose weight when using the new drug.

The FDA continues to be recommending that patients taking orlistat via prescription (Xenical) continue this. The FDA news release displays pictures of genuine Alli, its packaging and information about lot numbers and expiration dates. At some stores, it could be easily purchased, simply by taking it off the shelf, jointly does along with other merchandise and planning to a cashier to pay for it. Orlistat is marketed as Xenical, which is only available by prescription, as well as marketed in non-prescription form as Alli.
They say that every meal should provide you with about a third of your respective daily fat allowance. Patients taking Meridia need being very careful about drug interactions as there are long lists of drugs such as those taken for depression and stomach ailments that usually do not work well with sibutramine. I'm not just one for potty humor, so I hope to get taken very seriously this time around: we have to ban Alli from the workplace. And should you follow Alli eating habits religiously, you'll be able to loose 1 to 2 kilos in a very week.

Sala'am Means Peace
Highland students meet their Muslim neighbors
By Aja Oishi
The shy girls at the Salaam Academy trickled into the room one by one, eyes only briefly glancing up from the floor to take in the table full of strangers, heads uncovered, there to greet them. It was Friday, the Islamic Sabbath, and the girls wore their best clothes to school. Brocaded lavender dresses, cream-colored silken hijabs and black chadors trimmed with gold wrapped the young girls in an elegance and modesty fit for the afternoon's prayer services.
Thin Line
By Tim McGivern
Why so angry? Bill Maher weighed in on the debate over Mary Cheney's lesbian lifestyle with words, perhaps, many Americans might find comforting. On his HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher" last Friday, Maher said: "But my question about that whole flap, that the Republicans are very angry. Dick Cheney said, 'I'm an angry father.' If it's not shameful to be gay, why are their panties in a bunch about this? I mean, they talk about her like she's some retarded monster they have chained in the attic, you know.... And it is an issue. (Bush and Cheney) made it an issue. It's an issue in this election. Don't talk about my daughter who we are trying to discriminate against in a constitutional amendment."
Election 2004
Your friends at the Alibi editorial office love to vote. Try it and you will to. In fact, early voting has already begun and between now and election day you can walk into the County Clerk's office on the sixth floor of Civic Plaza (call 768-4085 for hours) or you can log onto www.bernco.gov to locate an early voting location near you. Or, you can go vote on Nov. 2 when polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. But just VOTE!

Bush Wins New Mexico and Four More Years
... and did you hear Cheney has a gay daughter?
By Greg Payne
This is the Alibi's election issue so let's get the preliminaries out of the way. On Nov. 2, George W. Bush will be re-elected president. The popular vote is going to be close—in the 51 percent range for Bush—but the electoral college won't. Bush will take that with at least 284 electoral votes, although don't be at all surprised if he goes over 300, which is the magic number our oracles are predicting.

Dateline: Croatia—An 18-year-old Croatian has been arrested for stealing his father's police uniform and stop sign and using them to collect fines from motorists. The unnamed teen from Bisko stopped drivers and told them they had broken traffic laws and then fined them approximately $15 apiece. He was eventually exposed and arrested when a man on a motorcycle refused to pay the fine and alerted other officers when he became suspicious.
Heather Wilson was the only Congressperson in New Mexico that voted herself a nice pay raise. Both Mr. Udall (D) and Mr. Pearce (R) voted against this bill. It's nice to know that in these troubling times when real average wages are down, bankruptcies are at all time highs and healthcare is unavailable for 400,000 New Mexico citizens, Heather will be taken care of.

Located in the heart of South Kolkata, this is a place where you would like to coma back time and again. Here, you can relax and watch time fly by without even knowing. Though the name says "Wise Owl, The Coffee Shop" the menu makes it something more than that.
An ideal hang-out space, right in the middle of quiet, residential South Kolkata, Wise Owl is a speck for extended adda sessions after work or just catching up for a romantic quick bite. Tavern-style Show Full Review
A perfect place to eat and chill with friends at any time of the day. Starting from breakfast to dinner. This place has two seating arrangements, one which is Air Conditioned where you can relax and enjoy your food and beverages and the other is the covered area outside where you could sit in the evening and sip your coffee while listening to the birds chirp or gossip with your friends. The service is exemplary and they make you feel at home. A perfect place for any day of the year.
In this part of the city Wise Owl is a nice place to sit and hangout with friends. Every now and then when I along with my friends come to this area we prefer sitting in this caf that has nice, sophisticated yet very vibrant interior. The menu basically has gourmet items and mostly light food items. I like the Ham Steak Burger of this caf and when I am really too hungry Cheesy Garlic Bread and Prawn croquette which is wrapped in bacon is just great for me. The desserts and hot and cold beverages are also highlights of Wise Owl..
I actually liked the ambiance of Wise Owl. It is vibrant, full of energy and very exciting. The interiors are comfortable in sitting as well as to the eyes. I loved the place. I went there with a friend. We were looking for something different so landed up here. We ordered mocktails, sandwich, ham steak burger and mushroom pancake. Everything was quite good. The food was not extraordinary as you can get food anywhere. Service was quite slow as waiters were busy in doing, I don't know what. I would say the food was not good and even the service was low, but I would preferably go there for its ambiance..

Chevy Equinox, a Roomy Boost for GM
History probably will–and should–regard 2009 as a bad year for General Motors Corp. It's too bad its bankruptcy filing and the chief executive's resignation will overshadow a few truly desirable vehicles the brand has released this year.
Chevrolet's new Equinox crossover is one of them. It lacks the Corvette Grand Sport's speed and the Camaro's styling, but unlike those cars, it has the mass-market potential to help General Motors climb up from the abyss.
Selling the Equinox won't be easy, in part because it competes in a market flooded with new small SUVs and dominated by stronger rivals like Honda Motor Co. and Ford Motor Co. During a recent test drive, though, it outscored many competitors in comfort, practicality and performance.
Perhaps more important, the Equinox embodies most of the qualities we still love about SUVs (high seating, more headroom, all-wheel drive; come on, admit it) while avoiding pitfalls that have driven buyers away in the last few years.
Driving the Equinox reminded me of larger vehicles. It can't compete with its huge Tahoe and Suburban relatives, but I could have mistaken it for a GMC Acadia or Ford Explorer. Despite its sense of size, the Equinox is easy on fuel, and maneuvers like a car in dense city traffic. Its attractive styling and smooth ride give it a high-end feel beyond its price range of roughly $22,000 to $29,000.
Redesigned for 2010, the Equinox has flared fenders that look like they were borrowed from a muscle car. A crease on the side sweeps upward from the front fender to the taillight, suggesting the wedge shape of a sport sedan. In front, Chevrolet follows the lead of Audi and Cadillac with a big grille and angry-eye headlights. The aesthetic features come together for a pleasingly modern look. The aggressive styling also helps mask the fact the Equinox is really a contemporary version of the old family station wagon. I couldn't help wondering when faux-wood exterior paneling will reappear.
Size and fuel economy are the most important advantages the Equinox has over competitors like the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester. It is slightly higher, an inch or two wider and several inches longer than those competing vehicles, but it feels even bigger. An upright seating posture and roomy cabin give the driver a commanding view and the kind of elbow room people associate with larger SUVs. It is one of the rare compact crossovers with enough legroom to keep rear-seat passengers happy and ease the installation and use of child safety seats.
It is also heavier than its competitors but surprisingly has the highest highway fuel economy of the group. My all-wheel-drive test vehicle with the standard four-cylinder engine has an EPA fuel economy rating of 20 miles per gallon in city driving and 29 on the highway, compared with 22/32 for the front-drive version. The test car averaged about 24 mpg but managed 30 mpg when driven carefully.
The engine lacks the punch some drivers like when accelerating onto a busy freeway or passing tractor trailers on long hills. People accustomed to large V8 engines would have to adjust their driving styles and expectations when switching to the Equinox. Still, I never felt uneasy about the car's ability to keep pace with traffic and outpace it when necessary. A more powerful six-cylinder engine is available as a $1,500 option, but it largely defeats the vehicle's frugal purpose.
Critics often dwell on shortcomings in quality that are mostly in General Motors's past. But my Equinox test vehicle offered them at least a few pieces of fresh ammunition. The leather-textured plastic that makes up most of the dashboard is hard and cheap-feeling, as if plucked from a 1980 Malibu station wagon. There are too many chromed affectations outside, from the door handles to a faux off-road-style skid plate tucked under the rear bumper.
A pull-out shade, when extended to cover the cargo area, had a habit of coming loose and rapidly rolling up with a loud slap. Most annoying was a slightly misfit strip of trim on the outside window sill of the driver's door. When I gripped the top of the door to pull it closed, the trim made a popping sound and I could feel it moving slightly; there was a small area where it wasn't properly attached. That spot happened to be right where my fingers grasp the door when the window is fully open. Surely not all Equinoxes carry this defect, but it is a tactile disaster which, if encountered during a test drive, could keep a shopper from choosing it.
Still, the Equinox's overall appeal outweighs the few nits I picked. I liked the way it looked and behaved on the road, and its slightly larger size would make it a better choice than smaller SUVs that are less roomy, less fuel efficient and in some cases more expensive.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) After years of speculation surrounding the event, Twitter is finally set for its initial public offering. TWTR is expected to be priced Wednesday night and will begin trading on Thursday. Despite the hype and demand, Twitter has a giant shadow over its IPO, and that shadow is Facebook.
The Facebook IPO was a disaster, to put it lightly, and that disaster has led many to be cautious ahead of the much-hyped Twitter IPO. However, I believe that because Facebook was such a disaster, Twitter will have a much different fate.
IPOs are priced based on investor demand. If demand is high, banks can raise the price of the stock, thus increasing the fee they receive and increasing the money raised for the company going public. However, sometimes banks will intentionally price IPOs lower than demand, so when the stock begins to trade, it will see large gains. What this does is excite investors and increase demand for the next IPO in the hopes that it will "pop" and they can flip their shares for a nice profit.The amount a stock "pops" on its IPO is largely decided by the banks that are underwriting this deal. Goldman Sachs is the lead underwriter for Twitter; Morgan Stanley was the lead underwriter for Facebook. What better way for Goldman Sachs to attract future clients over Morgan Stanley than to show that it can successfully orchestrate a large, much-hyped IPO? The opportunity for Goldman Sachs is too great. Even more important than allowing Goldman Sachs to uphold its reputation, a successful Twitter debut is vital for the success of future IPOs.
Should the Twitter IPO go sour, then all future big deals will be looked upon with increased skepticism, limiting both the fee the bank collects, as well as the money the newly listed company raises. The banks play a game with IPOs. After Facebook flopped, the next several companies to go public soared tremendously on their debut. This was not by chance; this was to attract investors back into the IPO market. Notice the IPOs leading up to Twitter? Potbelly, a sandwich restaurant, and The Container Store, a storage retailer, both doubled on their debut. These companies were priced below what people were willing to pay for them which led to a large "pop" in the price. This was likely done to excite investors ahead of the much larger Twitter IPO. If a sandwich shop and a shelves and box store can double, then what will happen to a company that has conquered mobile, social and the cloud? It is clear to see how this strategy works. The banks have been building up demand for Twitter's IPO, and so long as they don't absurdly raise the price on Wednesday, then we should not see a repeat of Facebook.

Police doubt they'll charge in airport gun case
SOUTH BURLINGTON A spokesman for the U.S. Transportation Security Agency said Tuesday its likely a Vermont man who tried to carry a gun onto a plane at the Burlington International Airport will face a fine of up to $3,000.
But Burlington police said its unlikely the man will be criminally charged.
Police were convinced that it was complete, embarrassing error when the 46-year-old man, whom he declined to name, approached the security checkpoint with a bag containing the gun, Deputy Police Chief Bruce Bovat said.
Mike McCarthy of the TSA office in Boston said the federal agency issues such civil fines whenever a firearm is caught.
If the weapon is unloaded, as was the case in the Vermont incident, the fine ranges between $1,500 and $3,000, McCarthy said.
Loaded weapons bring higher fines, he added.
The man gave what McCarthy described as the most common explanation TSA agents hear when a firearm is discovered that he forgot he had the weapon with him.
McCarthy said the fines are part of the TSAs effort to educate the public of the importance of checking luggage and knowing what the rules are before they get to the checkpoint.
We interviewed him. Hes got a clean record. Theres no reason to believe there was anything intentional, the deputy chief said.
The weapon, described as a .22-caliber Bernardelli handgun, was discovered by Transportation Security agents, who followed their usual protocol and called local police.
Burlington Police will hold the mans gun until he returns to Vermont from Florida, Bovat said. The incident did not cause the man to miss his flight, he said.MORE IN This Just InDUXBURY Harwood Union High School is preparing a life celebration for five students who were...

Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update reportedly available in service centers
After the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3, the Galaxy Note 2 seems to be the next in line to get the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update, which is apparently available already in service centers.
Sam Mobile reports that Samsung service centers have access to the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 build, with one phone user in India having already had his device updated to the latest Jelly Bean version (see screenshot below).
According to the publication, the new Galaxy Note 2 firmware is N7100XXUEMJ9, having an October 31 build date.
We have already seen Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 test ROMs leak in the past weeks, so we're not surprised to see that Samsung is getting ready to roll out the update.
However, while it's not clear when that will actually happen, we'll remind you that carriers are also involved in Android update roll outs, which means some Galaxy Note 2 versions will get their Android 4.3 upgrade sooner than others.
We'll be back with more news about the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update once we have them.
- Samuel
What about the S3 LTE? ):
- lroy
I saw the leaked M16 build on a friends note 2 and was not impressed with same. Hope the final build will worth the long waiting.
- Ivan Myring
Why weren't you impressed
- DarxideGarrison
And this is exactly why I said the hell with Samsung, sold my S3 and got a Nexus 5! No more waiting on manufacture and carrier to approve and roll out software updates. Now I get them directly from Google!
- Santeri
It is kinda weird that Nexus 4 is still on 4.3. I hope Google will push it out soon because that is why people buy nexus devices.
- tan
only the nexus devices bought directly from google get the instant updates. The carrier locked Nexus devices get the update when carrier release the update after approving it.
- Frothgar
False, I bought a nexus directly from Google and I am still on 4.3 despite 4.4 being out for a week. With only the coming weeks as my time frame. This will probably be my last nexus device with Google only supporting up to 18 months.
- bahehs
They said the Galaxy nexus has hardware limitations because the manufacturer wont update their drivers.
- Cosies flatten
Google only promise 18 months but the n4 will probably be supported longer, the gnex was only discontinued due to a lack of drivers as TI shutdown
- Ahmadovich (R4bia Edition)
Ahahaha. Like a boss.
- jack
haha android losers whining about updates.. you chose to suffer
- Avnish Raghoonundun
I'd rather have an update that speeds up my phone and delivers actual, usable features rather than one with only a change of icons, adding multiple bugs and slowing it down with worse battery life.
So which Android that have this update featured?
- Avnish Raghoonundun
String a coherent sentence together and i'll tell you.
- Daniel Khoo
If you want to act like a smart ass, at least know when to use a capital letter.
- Avnish Raghoonundun
- Daniel Khoo
Yes, that's the way to make yourself look knowledgeable and mature.
- Avnish Raghoonundun
Glad you get it :)
- Ahmadovich (R4bia Edition)
I not i. lol
- Tuấn Ankh
Don't be so mean. iOS 7 didn't just change icons. It added features!!!
Which Android had had for a long time, of course. xD
- Daniel Khoo
Really? What features are you referring to you? please enlighten me. If you mean those features that came from third party apps. Those apps were on App Store before Google play. Just that Apple thought they were really good ideas and decided to implement them into the core OS. What's wrong with that?
- Shao Kahn
- Brian Shieh
and leaving out features because your device is older
- Daniel Khoo
I don't see Note 1 getting any extra features. You know why? Because it's not able to handle the amount of information that needs to be processed into visual commands.
It's like me trying to teach you a little common sense. Your slow and biased mind can't process the information. It's not compatible with your OS.
- Ledge
Yeah, I'm "suffering" with my Note 2 on 4.1.2, which is WAY more feature packed than your "updated" non-Android phone.
- Daniel Khoo
- AbbyZFresh
for all you note 2 users complaining. Just move on to the note 3 instead of waiting.
- Noel
Yeah, cos everyone has a few hundred €/$ lying around just in case the manufacturer of their current phone isn't bothered releasing an update for it in an any way timely fashion. Sure, I bought my own plane the other day, just so I could fly to Korea to get it straight from it's home country.
No, think I'll be buying a Nexus 5 now, instead.
- AbbyZFresh
Good luck with the 18 months of support.
- Noel
As opposed to what? Buying a new phone every 12 months? Some people have awfully deep pockets. More money than sense.
- crackinthewall
Samsung? The S III is a curious case as while it was released five months later than the Galaxy Nexus but it received the same update. They both launched with ICS and are now both on 4.3 but hopefully the S III will still receive Kitkat.
- Austin
Yea just buy a whole new phone that's intelligent, it's people having this mentality that feed these fat cat corporations and encourage them to keep making updates take longer so you buy the latest gadget it's a joke be content with what you have the phone works fine. Does it call, text, surf the Web? Thats all you need.
- Daniel Khoo
Overkill… But true… Only the ones complaining. Ha ha.
- Alex
I love my note 2 and will wait….As for Apple Fans …enjoy your Crapple..
- Daniel Khoo
Listen to yourself. I own both a note 2 and an iPhone 5. My iPhone battery lasts 2 days easy. My note 2…Had to buy a second battery just to make it through the day . My iPhone needs a restart about once a month. My note needs a restart about once a week. And the funniest part, my ip5 phone is my main line. The note 2 is just a tag along for the data.
I hope this update brings features that make it worth while. If it sucks, I'm gonna change this for either a nexus 5 or a Xperia Z1 Ultra.
Some of you Apple haters just act so childish. Both have Pros and Cons. If you can't accept that, then you're just a 2 bit hypocrite on crack who likes to talk out of your ass.
- Samshung
I have the rollout schedule for the S3, Note 2, and S4 + other Samsung devices to get Android 4.3 and/or Gear compatibility (I work in a Samsung Experience Shop in a Best Buy) – who can I email this info to? My chart shows specific launch dates for specific carriers for each device. Schedules for multiple continents as well.
- fred
email it to dsapher99 @ hot mail
- Antonio Toro
Please send rollout, my email is
[email protected]
- jacky ling
Email to [email protected]
- davehiggins1985
- Исмаил Юсеинов
If its not to much trouble send it to me to please [email protected] If its too much trouble please just tell me the date for the update for the note 2 international version (n7100). I live in Europe by the way .
- Stst
- satish
- seeker1026
[email protected] pls email a copy of your chart for the note 2. Verizon carrier. Thanks
- crackinthewall
Sammobile's source deleted the tweet. I'm inclined to believe that this is a hoax as no one else has confirmed that the update is indeed available in Samsung service centers, Samsung usually rolls out their updates first to a European or Nordic country, AND Samsung Mobile India or any of their regional division would have announced it by now if they ever decided against an OTA/Kies update.
- mr angry
- Manuel Koliqi
more than a year?? Android 4.3 was released on 1 July 2013 it is only 5 months old. My friend on February last year bought a Nokia Lumia 900 with WIndows Phone 7.5, after 6 months Windows Phone 8 was released and the Lumia 900 never received and never will receive this update (my friend paid $800 for it). So I say why Lumia 900 only 6 months old has not received the update and the Note II which is 1 year old will receive the update? If you want to know, the Note II will receive an update even for the Android 4.4 KitKat. So don't say "Samsung sucks" they are doing their best and remember…. better late than never
- Billy Royle
why are people such whiny babies? I have the Note 2 and when i get the update…i get the update. do you really think getting 4.3 will change anything other than that you have the best phone on the market other than the noite 3? my note 2 is everything i could ever hope for. Its blazing fast, never lags for me and has all my music ever needed and works just fine on 4.21. Will waiting one more month make a difference in your over obsessed smartphone life? I think not…
it's kinda like waiting for a new season of your favorite show to come out…you will watch it ….when it comes out…
- tonydrot
well at least tv shows announce their premier, and the galaxy is far from the best phone, you seem to have forgotten about the Nexus 5, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 2, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1, LG G2, HTC One and HTC One Max.
And to put a controversial slam on this, the iPhone has had its major update, waay before samsung has even announced the update and we are still waiting…..
- Billy Royle
each one of those phones you have mentioned ive played with or have friends with them and i still feel the note 2 trumps them. that said. my girlfriend has the s4 and it is a sweet as phone. I have big hands and like big screens so im biased in that i prefer the Note series. as for the nexus 5…the note 2 is still a better phone…and i wont even go into the note 3 because well…its truly in a league of its own….as for the iphone….every friend of mine that got the update just got worse battery problems and a bunch of new fisher price icons I will also say the lgG2 is a sweet phone..
but in the end…the note 2 still is the best besides the 3
- samsung song
if you do like big screens, you should take a look at the Xperia Ultra or HTC One Max, you will be surprised, they are pretty attractive over the Note series and dont include touchwiz which is a slow unpolished bloated old thing
- hero43@@@
Agreed Touchwiz really needs an overhaul thats why I have Cyanogen on my Note 2
- Billy Royle
i don't really care what launcher is on the samsung products…I've committed to Nova launcher prime and will never change unless somebody even comes close to making something better. Nova gives me every option i like to change
- cody
How is ur note 2 on 4.2 ? Note 2 never received 4.2 im currently running 4.1.2
- shaynej95
me too….wonder whats up with that…are we going from 4.1.2 straight to 4.3 ?
- Cotomeo
My Note 2 runs really well.
People are complaining because they get the feeling that the company doesn't give a damn about their current phone. You get the feeling that they don't even try to update their phones 'cause they want you to but the Note 3 or the S4.
- Hovig Ghazarian
The only thing I can think of that I would love from 4.3 is the new multi window and action menu.
- 毛泽东
iphoen is the best one
- downwithapple
I guessing he spelled iphone wrong using his Iphone
- Samsung fan
Haha funny ishit users. They copied everything from android and now telling. Hey we got ios 7 , we got ios 7. Hey loosers.if you got ios we already had ios 7 in another name as ics, jb, or etc.. :D Guys please be matured. Update is on the way . Can't you wait for 20 days at least? I own note 2 no complaints at all :)
- Daniel Khoo
Samsung Fan : iPhone was released before Android. iPhone had App Store before Android. So please, get your facts straight before you start shooting. iShit? Seriously? Is that the best you can come up with? Assdroid? Andump? JB is a term used by Apple Hackers "Jailbreak". You don't seem to know much, but you just wanted to shoot your mouth off and give your two cents…unfortunately, it's worth less than that. However, I do agree with you that when the update for Note2 is ready, we will all be receiving it happily. I would rather wait than to suffer the consequences for those who updated on their S3 recently. And for those who actually don't know. The first touch screen phone didn't come from Android nor Apple. It was actually the Ericsson R380! Before Sony's buyover. In 2007, Apple was the first to implement a MULTITOUCH screen with iPhone. A year later, the first Android phone was released by HTC known has HTC Dream. Both OS's had no App Store/Google Play. So, it was down to the hackers who created "Installer" for the iPhone who started the fad of App Creation. Followed by Cydia. And the rest is history.
I have owned an iPhone since it's creation only missing a couple of models. But my first Android was the Note 2 LTE. I'm happy with it, other than the fact that within the first month, I had to change the SIM Tray since it was shorted out. Weird. But now it runs as my portable broadband. I still prefer the use of my iP5 as my main phone as I'm used to the interface and can use it without have to look at the screen all the time. With the Note 2, I actually need to use the pen quite often as there are many websites are not optimized for iOS nor Android. So I see a full page screen in miniature. Hard to click a dot without a pen.
IP5 Pros
– One handed use is actually easier. Specially with an Otter Box Defender. Note 2 is REALLY REALLY Wide.
– Faster screen response time
– Light and easy to put into pocket
– Personally recognizable interface and even though it's iOS7, the basis is still familiar
– Nice camera with really clear images. Megapixel is not as important as most people think. As an amateur photographer, I like the quality of the image. Taking a photo is FAST.
iP5 Cons
– 4″ Screen, games are not as fun
– Non-changeable battery
– Glass and aluminum very fragile
Note2 Pros
– 5.5″ AMOLED display, colours are fantastic
– Beautiful camera, great pictures, bright vivid colours
– Cheangeable battery (needed)
Note2 Cons
– Battery can't last for shit (the one that came with the phone originally and my new ORIGINAL battery are both performing similarly…about half day)
– LTE is nice, but not stable, could be the line, but my iP5 doesn't have that problem with data stability
– flimsy battery cover…I feel like I'm gonna snap it by accident everytime I open it to change the battery
– large and thin…some think of this as a benefit, but for me, it feels like I can't put it in my pocket and I am scared of sitting in the wrong position that may cause it to crack.
– S Pen butt of the pen colour already wearing off, showing the nasty dirty white plastic that it's made of. Very cheap build.
– Camera – delay in taking a photo causes the shot I want to disappear…specially uncontrollable scenes…like animals, etc.
– Facial recognition "Auto On" or "Smart Lock", etc…whatever it's called…doesn't work very well.
So, that's my opinion…you all have your own…but don't be haters…there's no better phone. They're both good phones with their own pros and cons. So, for those of you who like to talk about which is better…YOU'RE WRONG!
There….that's my two cents.
- lil_yos
The Note 2 is about to break a record for being the longest phone out without an update lmao. I love my note 2 and can wait but I don't like running into those IPhone "trying to figure out what apps to delete" situations. Only way I upgrade to a Note 3 is to get the 32 GB or 64 GB version. Verizon kills the game with freaking bloatware. I'm a person that uses my whole phone eff that. Why pay x amount for a phone is you are not going to use the entire phone for what it's worth.
- nyist
in Africa and yep; got the 4.3 update already!
Are you sure? Can you share your Screenshot?
- Stpid
I f*ing flashed a 4.3 ROM a few days ago and *BOOM* IMEI gone. My note 2 turned into a tablet :(
I've flashed back to stock but still no signal, I really hope warranty will cover it. (and maybe in the service center they'll flash 4.3)
- nirajsha
My note 2 crashed the second time ! Any Gyan ?
- nirajsha
Though the bad news is….I too love the note 2…and don't think the upgrade to note 3 is worth the dough…
- Nishant
Some news that there are updates available in service centers .. but its not true. i have called 3 centers including the on samsung's toll free call center and all said that they till not having the 4.3 updates for NOTE 2 and they are not aware that when the updates will OTA or from service centers.
- Mishel
Why i cant update my note 2 to 4.3 or 4.2.1 ?? im runing it on 4.1.2 and when i check updates it tels me that i have already install the latest updates…
- Mishel
Why i cant update my note 2 on 4.3 or 4.2.1?? Im runing it on 4.1.2 and wheh i check the software updates it tells me that i have already install the latest updates…
- Daniel Khoo
Because 4.1.2 is the latest for now. Samsung skipped the 4.2 update and is going straight to 4.3. You'll just have to be more patient.
- Mishel
Thanks Daniel .
- seeker1026
bought a Galaxy Gear for the Note 2 when ever the up date is coming. Hope soo.
