12 awesome Samsung Galaxy Note 3 cases
Protection, however, is not the only reason to get a case or a cover for the Note 3. It's true that Samsung changed its design language radically by adding a faux-leather back to the Note 3, giving it much more polished looks, but what about those who want a little more color in their Note 3? Changing the back cover would be a cheap and easy solution for that, and there are many great looking bumpers that would add not just protection, but also an interesting color accent to the phablet.
We've picked a dirty dozen of our favorite Galaxy Note 3 cases and covers that do all that right below. We are kicking it off with cases from well known makers like OtterBox and Spigen, but don't hesitate to check out the ones from second-tier makers that follow - they are also made specifically for the Note 3, and come without the hefty prices. Finally, do keep in mind that all cases add some bulk to the already large Note 3 - it's a price you have to pay for that extra protection!

I like UAG yet recently have lovemei case which is the best choice
2. ausnote2 (Posts: 71; Member since: 07 Dec 2012)
Spigen slim armour case is the way to go. Got it in blue and also superglue the belt clip using an old PDAIR belt clip case it is the perfect case.
Would love to add the flygrip but including shipping to Aus, it will be around $50 for a grip/kickstand, it is kinda expensive......

#1, #4, #6, and OtterBox Commuter. Paid $40 for the case, and definitely don't regret the purchase - especially after tossing my phablet three feet at people since I'm too lazy to hand them the phone lol.

9. Doakie (Posts: 1100; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Between me, and my wife we've bought probably a dozen cases for our Note 3s. The brown one is currently my case and I'm loving it. It comes in multiple colors, we have the burgundy one and the brown one. I've never put a credit card into the slot because I'm afraid the slot will get loose.

An awesome place to look at cool cases is Case Fanatic. Check it out. I've never bought anything from them but I heard of them from Flossy Carter, apparently he's bought a ton of cases from them.
11. Doakie (Posts: 1100; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Man. This is awesome looking! But at $94 I'd never buy it.
12. maherk (Posts: 784; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I wouldn't recommend casefanatic, their prices are simply absurd. I found a gorgeous leather replacement battery door for $47, I was too close to cluck the buy it button, then I found it on ebay for 14.99!!!
26. iemand (Posts: 1; Member since: 16 Jan 2014)
wow, you buy leather case for 14.99? much luck. You have much faith in cheap ebay factory copies.
13. nothingmuch (Posts: 155; Member since: 03 May 2013)
I use the UAG, its pretty durable. A little tight though but does its job protecting from drops, saved my Note3 couple of times. I like it
14. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1551; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Anything is better than that ugly ass fake leather look

Confirmed Samsung hater. Confirmed.
15. nothingmuch (Posts: 155; Member since: 03 May 2013)
Off subject...
Triple tap build number under "about device" 3 times and open up developer mode on your note3.
Worx for at&t note3, dont kno about other carriers

23. scsa852k (Posts: 274; Member since: 16 Oct 2012)
Ok.. Where are the awesome cases?
24. Darkhell (Posts: 26; Member since: 03 Nov 2013)
Spigen Slim Armor all the way. I love the duel layer case with the flashy metal feeling plate.
25. downphoenix (Posts: 2267; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
the urban armor gear case is an awesome case, I have one on my S3. It protects better than the Otter Box, it looks better, it's thinner, and it's cheaper. You really have no reason to get an Otter Box over a UAG unless your phone just doesnt have a UAG option available.
27. mark_ray (Posts: 31; Member since: 26 May 2013)
There are many Galaxy Note 3 cases out there, but three stood out of the corwd for me. 1:Spigen Neo Hybrid, Spigen Slim Armor and CaseMate. All three are amazing cases to secure your phablet and give a great and stylis look too.
31. rallyguy (Posts: 518; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
I've been using the Spigen Slim Armor for about 6 months now and really like it. It's getting a little beat up with knicks in it from being dropped. Great case and still like it. The white and black really pops.
I just ordered the UAG case which looks great.
28. Spammy77 (Posts: 1; Member since: 03 Feb 2014)
What about Trident case!
29. Caleb (Posts: 2; Member since: 24 Feb 2014)
Check this one channel they have good case reviews
30. optometristprime (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Mar 2014)
You seriously need to look up the word "awesome" & find out what the definition is, since these are the most BORING freaking phone cases I have ever seen in my life! I mean, it looks like you did a search for the note 3 on amazon, took the first 12 results & made this post! Retarded! These are exactly what phone cases SHOULDN'T be!
32. rallyguy (Posts: 518; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
Any suggestions? Otterbox was a little late for the Note 3, but they tend to be popular. I tried an Otterbox before and I don't think I'll buy another one again.

Tickle Tunes
What is MPlayer? Ah, well MPlayer is an awesome, cross-platform video/audio player.
Mplayer plays .ogg, .mp3, and other popular music formats, as well as all popular video formats, such as .mpg, .wmv, .avi, plays DVDs and audio CDs, etc. This is really quite great for watching movies or listening to music. I got my first mplayer in a bunch of gift baskets delivered by three lithesome ladies when I turned twenty-one. Apparently my college buddies got together, did a search for gift baskets and found a website that had awesome gift baskets that you could personalize with all sorts of tasty goodies like classic Wisconsin cheese, crisp and savory crackers, seasoned popcorn, fudge rainbow cookies, sesame Stix, roasted almonds, and bottles of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wine. They included wine glasses that had my name Tony engraved on the side with my birthday. There was 1 gift basket that was full of balloons and another one with all sorts of chocolate goodies. The gift baskets were initially delivered to my buddies where they added more stuff including a couple of cases of beer, an mplayer, plus a bunch of other techie stuff. And then they hired those three lithesome ladies to deliver the gift baskets to my door. My friends showed up about 10 minutes after the delivery of the gift baskets ready to party. What a night to remember.
I got around to looking at the mPlayer several days later and the rest is history!
Tickle Tunes, is a ticklish front end to mplayer written in Tcl.Tk, by me, Tony
NEW RELEASE!! Tickle Tunes 0.7 released 09/12/2008

It will play a dir-full, one song, or make and play a list of songs, or play a video, and, you can change the "skin" (or, at least the colors of the window background and text). Tickle Tunes 0.7 adds support for playing DVDs, and for playing a directory recursively (playing sub-directories, as well). Tickle Tunes is brought to you by Anthony Baldwin & Baldwin Software.

The first couple weeks back to school breed a whole new level of complaining in my house. I can't say I blame the kids, either. Change in routine is tough for me too. Going from one extreme to another is uncomfortable. It's too easy to look at the alternative and like it better just because change takes some getting used to. And there's no larger transition for kids than from summer to school – the whimsical, lazy, timeless days full of sunshine, freedom and fun versus the days of instruction, control, order, early bed times, homework and sitting still.
So far, this year the start of school has been far more welcomed than in the past. My kids have been eager to get back to the normal school days, seeing their friends and having some time away from their siblings (and quite possibly their mom). But they have still had complaints about how long the school day seems.
Ashley, a new first-grader, told me the other night how much she loved school. She said that she loved seeing her good friends and coloring. But she added that it has hard to sit still for so long. And each morning, she's quick to ask just how many hours she'll be away.
I get it -- the school day is long. And to be out of the routine makes it more difficult. Sitting in a chair and being told what to do for most of the day is a staunch change from how our summer proceeded…
Our summer was long and enjoyable, but fast and busy as well. We were rushing off to the beach or another amusement park activity. We were running out to the Farmer's Market, to the park, to grandma's house. We ate dinner sometimes as late as 7:30 p.m., and rushed our way from June to August, doing whatever we pleased, playing on the computer, games on my iPhone and watching movies. The summer was rushed and fast and thus overstimulating in it's own right. And I can relate!
Although I couldn't wait for the start of the school year, I am feeling the lack of stimuli in my "classroom" of sorts. My quiet house is too still, with just one very independent preschooler happily milling about as I tend to the laundry, organizing the various corners of the home that were left ignored for day on end. I miss the chaos, the loud noises, the ability to pick up and leave and have virtually no schedules or responsibilities except for the wellbeing of my three little ones. I miss not having an excuse for not completing a task, there was so much freedom there.
While folding laundry Saturday, my husband came into the room and powered up a podcast he thought might interest me. It was a motivational, take-charge-of-your-future type speech.
At first, I thought this was my husband's subtle encouragement to get a job now that the kids are staying in school longer each day. So of course, his suggestion was met with an eye roll and a pair of clean socks being thrown at his gut. But as I listened more intently to the podcast, its significance was apparent.
The speaker told tales of how life gets so busy that you forget how to just be. We are living in a society where the common place to travel is in the fast lane. We have been moving at mach speed, so to have just one activity in one location is a bit of a change for anyone.
So while my kids get used to focus and learning and quite, directed activities, it seems I should take a hint and slow down and focus a bit too. Perhaps our annual routine is getting used to a new routine every so often.

The final vignette – featuring the dead girl herself – is disappointingly heavy handed. (The dead girl's identity is no longer a surprise since her photograph at the medical examiner's office earlier in the film was a photograph of Brittany Murphy.) We learn among other meaningful non-revelations that she was trying to take a large, pink stuffed animal to her little girl when she met the killer. This sequence coasts on the four strong narratives which precede it, and on Brittany Murphy's engaging physical charisma, leaving the impression of the movie's structure as a cleverly crafted bait and switch.

History of Oak View Middle School
Oak View Middle School came into being with the passage of a bond issue vote in November, 1993, by the citizens of the Anoka-Hennepin School District. Oak View was planned and built to help deal with the fast-growing population in the Andover area, and to help alleviate the crowded conditions at Fred Moore and Coon Rapids Middle Schools. The school was named Oak View because of the many stands of Red Oak in the area around the site chosen for the school.
Norm Hande, who had been an assistant principal at Blaine High School, as well as interim principal when the Blaine principal was on leave, was chosen to lead the development and construction of the school. In 1995, Mr. Hande hired the first dean (Diane Steffen), two secretaries (Jeanne Johnson and Donna Becker), and 13 teachers from around the school district representing different grade levels and departments to help plan for the school. Students who would be eventually attending Oak View were contacted, and the school colors, burgundy and grey, and the school mascot, the bobcat, were chosen. The administrators and teachers met regularly to plan school policies, direction, schedules, and so on. In the winter and spring of 1996, the rest of the staff members for the first year were chosen to join those already hired. A number of innovations were planned for the school, including interdisciplinary teaming, alternating day block scheduling, site-based decision making, and advisor-advisee program, and an exploratory program integrated into the schedule. In September, 1996, the school opened with about 950 students. Without any boundary changes, the student population grew to about 1250 by September, 2000. As numbers grew, a set of five modular classrooms was added to help with the growing crowds of students for the 1999-2000 school year. A mixed team of seventh and eighth grade students occupied the modular classrooms that year. The modular classrooms were also used for the 2000-01 school year, and for the fall of the 2001-02 year until the addition was completed in October, 2002 (see below). In the summer of 2000, Mrs. Diane Steffen was chosen to lead Oak View as principal after Mr. Hande was hired to supervise construction and be principal at the new Andover High School. (Mr. Hande later moved to be principal at Blaine High School.)
Mrs. Steffen led Oak View through the 2005-2006 school year, the school's tenth year, until she retired in June, 2006. Mrs. Steffen's tireless commitment to Oak View will long be remembered. Beginning in May, 2001, an addition to the building was begun which added ten additional classrooms to our building to help serve our growing numbers. Completion was in October, 2001. Starting the fall of 2002, Oak View had a boundary change which corresponded with the boundaries for the newly opened Andover High School. This way, all students who attend Oak View will eventually attend Andover High School. Construction crews visited Oak View again during the summer of 2005, building eight new classrooms. The classrooms are located in what used to be the resource areas in each of the four houses. Construction was completed in time to open the classrooms for use in the fall of 2005. More construction, but this time outside of Oak View, occurred in the fall of 2005. Due to continued growth, an increase of traffic on Hanson Boulevard, and the arrival of several strip malls and the Andover YMCA Community Center in the area, a need was seen for a traffic light in front of Oak View. Completed in January, 2006, the traffic signal project involved not just the traffic signal, but also adding turn lanes on Hanson and out of the school, as well as a median dividing traffic on Hanson. Added safety and smoother traffic flow has been the result.
In the spring of 2006 a search was begun for our new principal, and Dr. Jinger Gustafson was selected. Dr. Gustafson had been an assistant principal at Roosevelt Middle School (in the Anoka-Hennepin district) before she came to Oak View. She officially began work at Oak View on July 1, 2006. During Dr. Gustafson's time at Oak View the school staff worked to establish a teaching and learning system known as a professional learning community, developing collaborative teams among staff members within each core curricular area. In June, 2011, Dr. Gustafason was named interim Associate Superintendent for Middle Schools for the school district.
On October 22, 2009, our school nurse, Mrs. Laura Milford, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly while at home. Our student body and staff were greatly saddened by the news. Mrs. Milford worked tirelessly to serve the students and staff at Oak View, never seeking recognition for herself.
In June, 2011, when Dr. Gustafson assumed her new position with the school district, Gary Lundeen was named to be principal, starting July 1, 2011. Mr. Lundeen was an assistant principal at Oak View before taking this position.

Egypt's Mubarak sent back to prison from hospital
Mubarak, sentenced to life in prison over the killing of protesters in the uprising that ended his rule, was shifted from the medical wing of Tora prison to a military hospital last month following reports of a deterioration in his health.
July 17, 2012 11:08 by Reuters
Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was sent back to prison on Monday on the orders of the public prosecutor who ruled an improvement in his health meant he no longer needed the care of the military hospital he was moved to last month.
Mubarak, sentenced to life in prison over the killing of protesters in the uprising that ended his rule, was shifted from the medical wing of Tora prison to a military hospital last month following reports of a deterioration in his health.
At the time, senior officers and military sources gave various accounts of the 84-year-old's condition, including that he was in a coma and on life support.
The state news agency had reported he was "clinically dead", a report that came under wide criticism. MENA was accused by critics of participating in a cover-up to move the former president of three decades out of prison.
He was moved to hospital just days after Egyptians voted in the second round of a presidential election that eventually installed the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Mursi.
Adel al-Saeed, the assistant prosecutor and spokesman for the prosecutor's office, said on Monday a medical committee formed to review Mubarak's condition had decided his health was stable enough that he did not need advanced hospital care.
"The medical committee's members have unanimously reached a decision that his medical condition is currently stable under the use of medication," the statement from the prosecution said.
Sentenced on June 2 for his failure to protect demonstrators, Mubarak has been portrayed as being in poor health by officials for the past year. He was wheeled into court during his trial on a hospital stretcher.
Mubarak's legal team had been pressing to have him moved from the prison hospital to a better-equipped facility, saying he was not receiving adequate treatment for his condition.
There has been no clear statement from independent medical experts on any ailments, although state media have reported a variety of illnesses ranging from shortage of breath to heart attacks and comas.
Many Egyptians have been sceptical, suspecting his fellow military officers who had been running the country since he was toppled before Mursi was elected as president of manoeuvring to give him a more comfortable confinement.
Mubarak's two sons are being held in the same prison, facing trial on graft charges, which they deny.

The Blue Ridge Independent Living Center is looking for more contractors to partner with to make home improvements for folks with disabilities.
Each year, Roanoke City grants $75,000 to the non-profit to help disabled people remain in their homes.
After being paralyzed by a stroke Mary Mills says, her husband, James was stuck inside their home until the non-profit stepped in to build him a ramp, so he could get outside.
"I was so grateful for their help. They really took a lot off of me by doing this," said Mary.
Any contractors interested in partnering with the Blue Ridge Independent Living Center just need to be licensed and covered under workers compensation.

I recently photographed Amy and Wayne last month for their pre-wedding photo shoot. Its always a great joy to photograph a wedding couple before their big day, it really helps them to relax and have a bit of fun in front of the camera.
As a Lincoln wedding photographer I always photograph my couples in this way, it's also included in every wedding package that I offer my clients.
Amy and Wayne are such a fun couple and were more than happy to join me around Lincoln's Bailgate, plus it was great to catch up and find out how their wedding plans for next year were going.
Here are just a few of my favourite images from the Lincoln engagement shoot.

Pediatricians Don't Routinely Ask About Mental Health
Don't count on your child's doctor to ask whether you're worried about mental health issues such as ADHD or bad behavior.
Don't count on your child's doctor to ask whether you're worried about mental health issues such as ADHD or bad behavior. Fifty-six percent of parents say their pediatrician or family-practice doctor never asks about mental health concerns, according to a new survey out of C.S. Mott Children's Hospital at the University of Michigan. Another 22 percent say they get asked sometimes, with 22 percent more saying their doc is always on the ball.
This is no small issue, seeing as 1 in 10 children suffers a serious emotional or mental disorder, according to the surgeon general. Twenty percent of the 2,245 parents polled said that one or more of their children had been diagnosed with a mental health problem, the most common being attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a behavior problem, or depression.
So here's a health issue that affects lots of kids in serious ways, and the docs more often than not aren't bringing it up. What gives? One reason often cited is that physicians get less training in mental health and aren't comfortable discussing it. But given the large numbers of kids being treated for ADHD alone and the fact that most of that treatment is provided by pediatricians or family doctors, it's hard to believe that the doctors are still that squeamish.
The real reason may well be that doctors know that when they refer families for mental healthcare, parents often can't find it or can't afford to pay for it. Last year, I wrote about college freshman Meghann Eckerdt and her family, who paid more than $30,000 out of pocket for treatment for the obsessive-compulsive disorder that threatened to destroy Meghann's life. More recently, I talked with Jim Hackett, who struggled to find treatment for his 15-year-old daughter after she had been sexually assaulted. Jim's the CEO of Anadarko Petroleum; paying wasn't the problem. His family had to look out of state to find a psychiatrist who helped his daughter work through her fears, confront her attacker, and "unlock the secret to being able to control her future," Hackett says. "It's a minor miracle." What parent wouldn't want to be able to provide that kind of lifesaving help to a child when she or he needed it?
The new federal mental health parity law, which goes into effect in 2010, should expand insurance coverage for many families. But that doesn't do much good if there's no mental healthcare for kids available. Seven percent of the parents in the Mott survey said they had trouble finding mental healthcare for their children. Here's the next big battle in parity; giving kids the help they need to grow up to be healthy, productive adults.

Named after a character in "I Promessi Sposi" by Alessandro Manzoni, one of the most famous works of Italian literature, this bike is made to be tough and fearless, and "natUrally undertook all the most daring enterprises." Designed to respect a tradition that has lasted forty years, the 2013 Moto Griso 8V SE creates a new, more intense concept of sports riding based on sheer power and four valve cylinder technology.
The design remains discreet, but elegant; the lines blend together, accentuated by the chrome finishing and satin metal form. The Griso 8V SE is decidedly masculine and powerful, yet the engine sits remarkably perfect in a frame that shows off its revolutionary design to the utmost effect. Returning to its performance, it becomes obvious that the sophisticated components are not mere technical details included for the sake of style but enhance performance and provide guaranteed reactivity.

Amphetamines do make depression better, but the cost of what they do to you is too great. They can't be used for that purpose. Not yet. Maybe in another 30 years they will have amphetamines that can be used as antidepressants, but not yet. And certainly not Methamphetamine, or what you're using. But you put me on the spot because at 18 I suffered a terrible loss. I sat in my room crying for 5 days. Then I took an Up pill. Back then an Up was Methamphetamine. I was then able to go outside and face the world. And so I became what was called a Speed Freak. It was all due to depression, and depression to a specific event. Are you using Meth to combat depression to a specific event, or just general depression? I also must ask your age? I really have to urge you to not continue using Meth, especially for this purpose. The crash is horrible. What's more you will never get better like this. Don't you want to get better some day? You can't get better so long as you use Meth. Again, I speak from personal experience.
I said you hit the nail on the head, because I now think that this is what's the problem for all of us. Depression, anxiety, low self esteem, or just crappy feelings in general. We don't feel right. So we use drugs. But the drugs we use are not very good at doing what we need done. We're sick people, to be sure. Have you tried Wellbutrin? I ask because that's a legal AD med that does something similar to what Meth does. It speeds up the Central Nervous System. Not in the same way, and you need to be off Meth for a while before you can use Wellbutrin, but since Meth makes you less depressed I'd try Wellbutrin 1st. I don't know how old you are, but you cant keep using Meth indefinitely. It will kill you. That's what it does, it kills. Meth Kills!
Post again. Start a dialogue here. Let us get to know you. You can get better. But you have to keep posting.
I too am a meth addict, and I relate to how meth made me happy.
For me - at first, I battled more bi-polar depression, so I wasnt "Stuck" in depression, I had moments of happy too.
When I took meth, it made my depression happy, and my happy - happier.
Meth (and I believe any drug that induces a synthetic endorphen or sarotonin) sends a message to our brain that we have enough (from the drug) so we dont need to make more (our brain's natural ability to make more). So our brain stops making these FGC's (as Jack calls them - feel good chemicals) and we become dependant on the drug.
When we stop using the drug - we go through a dry spell, we are left with no FGC's, and we begin to experience a depression like we've never felt before, so often times, we'll use again to get out of that hell. But the drug will never be the same as the first high, or the last one you just used. It takes you down, it doesnt maintain you. If it did, then I would still be on it.
The more you use, the lower you get, and eventually - at least for me, I had to use meth JUST to be in hell again. That is when I wished for the end. And I tried to end it all. I could no longer imagine my life with the drug, or with out the drug. It was either get clean - or die, and I welcome both. (I just blogged about this yesterday if it's something you want to read - blog address in my profile.).
I know what it feels like to feel helpless and hopeless.
If you want help, the best thing you can do is get honest, go to a qualified doctor (not a family practitioner, but a psychiatrist and even see a drug and alcohol counselor) and tell them the thuth about your condition.
I was amazed at how willing everyone was to help me when I got honest. I was so scared ppl would scold me, tell me how stupid I was for being a single mom drug addict. But professionals know what your up against, you may not, but they know it's not a moral issue, it's a disease, and they can only help you if they can properly diagnose you.
Around June or July 2007, just a month or 2 after I graduated HS I started to hang out with a new group of friends. I did meth before this but usually alone, for my own personal use. Meth isnt the only drug we did. We did uppers, downers, whatever we could get our hands on. It didnt matter. Cocaine, meth, weed, oxy cotton, all sorts of things. Anyways we were partying constantly, every day through the week. I was getting the cops called on me all the time, but I never went to jail. I was in "good" with the cops there for a while. Then one of the cops started coming over to our parties and partying with us after he got off of work. We got pictures of him smoking pot and doing all sorts of things. Then we hooked up. He was 25 and I was 18. So, then we had a relationship and he came over more and more.
Then one night, we were partying as usual, and he had a friend come down from about 2 hours away. So, anyways about 2 or 3 in the morning his friend decided that he wanted to go to bed, so John(cop) was going to take him home.(to John's house) On the way to John's house we stopped at the gas station and got some food because the ppl in the truck were hungry and there were 6 of us. John, me, his friend, and 3 of my friends. Ok, so when we got the food and gas we went straight to Johns house to let his friend out and then we were supposed to go straight back to my house, but John decided that he wanted to go backroading.(we were really messed up by the way.) Then I told John that he needed to slow down and stay in the road but he kept veering of the road and spinning out in the ditch and driving really fast, so I put my seat belt on. At this point there was only 5 of us in the truck. Me, John, and my 3 friends. So, we kept on driving and finally we came to a stop sign. At that stop sign John spun out and started weaving back and forth really quick just for fun and thats when all hell broke lose. The right front tire blew and we slid off the drivers side of the road and flipped 4 times. When I came to I was still in the truck upside down strapped to my seat because of my seat belt. There was no one else in the truck. Everyone else was thrown from the truck. I was scared. I started screaming but no one answered. The top of the truck was smashed down, so it was very hard for me to get out. Finally when I did I saw 1 of my friends out by the road on his phone with a big gash on his head. 2 of them on the ground but were ok, but John was no where to be found. When I finally found him he was on the opposite side of the truck and his was bent like an L-shape and I knew it was broke. It was the worst thing I have ever saw in my life. I grabbed up my cell phone and tried to call 9-1-1. No one would let me call though besides John. They were like NO, we will all go to jail. I told them that either they let me borrow a cell phone with service or I will kick their *** and take it from them. Id rather go to jail for Public Intoxication of drugs and alcohol thanfor murder, because John was seriously hurt and unconscious. So, I called 9-1-1 and when they finally got there John had come to a little bit and they had to care flight him to the hospital an hour away and I had to go to his house and tell his parents that he had been in a wreck and he had been hurt badly. This was the worst experience I have ever had in my life and we were very lucky that we all lived.
For a while after that I stayed off the drugs but after a suicide attempt and being in acoma for 3 days from xanax overdose...
That's a scary story. But at least no one was killed. I thought that was what you were leading up to. So I guess you know you have to quit Meth, right? Now all that remains is to decide on how you will do it. I think you should take Shawnie's advice, and get the help of some docs. They will most likely try some Antidepressant meds on you, and some may work. I still say ask to try Wellbutrin 1st. When I was 1st put on that med I was so surprised at how good it made me feel. It was very similar to the good feeling that comes from Meth. I kept expecting the pdoc to take it away from me. But he didn't. This was 1 high they let you have. But then disaster struck. I suffered a death in my family. Someone I was very close with. Wellbutrin didn't help after that. But I had close to 1 whole year of feeling very good on that drug. And it's a legal drug, that isn't harmful. So I say ask to try that first. If it doesn't work, then let the doc try what he thinks best. But anyone who uses Meth to combat depression, should try Wellbutrin. I think so.
At the moment I don't have anything else to add to what Shawnie and Angie said. I just wanted you to know I read your posts too. Keep coming back here and making posts. Sooner or later, the road to getting clean will appear before you. Then all you have to do is walk down it. There is help out there. But you have to go ask for it.
Take Care, and God Bless,
Please PLEASE seek help! I'm worried about you! I feel your pain in your words, and their is help out there, I promice.
I'm so so sorry that you had to experience this, I'm glad you all lived, but how horrrible!
I agree with Jack to try the wellbutrin, but also get some counseling. I did for my PTSD, and over the years, my life has gotten better (with the PTSD - allong with getting sober and working a program of recovery). It took a long time to really start to heal from my PTSD, and my PTSD will never go away, but the tools I have learned about triggers, how to handle them (w/o feeling drugs are the only way out) have given me freedom. I can breath again.
And please keep posting, keep writing, I believe writing is so healing and we are here to listen.
I'm glad you told us your name. Can I ask your age? It helps me to know the age of the person I'm writing to.
Once again, you're making me think that today's Meth must be quite different from my Speed. Unless you've gone 1 or 2 months with no sleep now. When did you sleep last? You need food too. When did you eat last? I'm trying to understand why you're so confused and have no memory. I find that odd. Speed didn't do that until I went 2 or more months without sleep. But maybe you know what I'm getting at here. I'm saying you need to stop doing Meth. I mean if you ever want to feel like a normal human being again, you do. You have to stop that crazy, insane drug. Because look what it's doing to you. OK. Enough of that.
I'm sorry your dh didn't sympathize with you. Maybe there are things going on with him you're unaware of. Or is he doing Meth too?
Sara, you have to do what is best for you. That means you have to go ask for help. Don't worry about what he did or didn't say. We're your friends here too. Several of us have kicked Meth out of our lives. You have to do that, and ask for help. I'm not really sure where you should go. Maybe someone else knows better than me. Depending on how long you've been using Meth, maybe a detox center can help. Without details about your use, I don't know what to advise. So can you give us some details?
I can give you some information, yes. I am 20 yrs old. I have been going for a week now. I havent eaten in a couple of days. Ive heard that it is Depression and that is why Im not remembering things because Im so depressed that I cannot focus on a certain thing. Im all over the place, or "scatter brained."
I do worry about what my dh said because he is the most important thing. I need him to understand. I need him to support me in my decision to quit. If he does not then I see no reason to quit. Why would I? He is the only reason that I keep living... I love him dearly.
So do you mean you have used Meth on and off for 4 years? Right now you're at 1 week without crashing, is that correct? So long as you crash for a few days every week, I don't know if a detox center would take you. However, what I think you need is a rehab, not so much detox.
When you finally quit Meth you're going to be very tired, and sleepy. You might sleep for 3 or 4 days getting up only to use the bathroom. Obviously, you're going to feel depressed. That's why you need to go onto meds as you stop the Meth. There's no point in taking meds with Meth. They won't work. So you do need a doc. You need a pdoc, that's a Psychiatrist. You also need therapy and/or counseling. Your depression is making you think your dh is the only reason to live. That's not quite right, Sara. You are the reason to live. You have to get clean and live for you. And unless your dh is also a drug user, he will probably like you better when you get clean. But you have to do it for you, not him. You can do it for the both of you, but it should be you're #1.
So now that you told me all this, I say you need to look for a pdoc. The pdoc should have experience with drug abuse, depression, and PTSD. Some of them advertise. But I prefer getting a referral from someone. So ask around. You should also try an AA or NA meeting. Some one in there may be able to recommend a pdoc. Most addicts in recovery are not doing it alone. Many have 1 or more different docs helping them. And you do need a doc's help.
Try talking to your dh again. But first ask him what his mood is at that moment. Maybe he had a bad day on the job. If he's usually receptive to your problems, then something was probably bothering him. Ask him first if now is a good time to talk to him about a problem you have.
And let us know what happens.
keep posting. You need to feel connected to others. That's very important.
I know things are very scary for you right now.
You are so young and already so hooked.
You have a whole future ahead of you, and you have the chance now to get out of the road your on.
I personally know many people who started as young as you and are now in their 40's.
Their life is NOT pretty AT ALL.
Can you imagine what your life will look like in 13 years from now if you just give in to the fact you need meth and have no reason to quit? What about 25 years from now? What about when you should be a grandma playing with your grandkids?
If you live (which people do), you will eventually cross a line of permenatnt brain damage. And i'm not talking the kind that you need antidepressants for the rest of your life. But that line that makes you unable to function w/o assistance.
People helping you write checks for your rent, paying for your rent, driving you places, or you riding your bike because you can't get a drivers lisence. That kind of brain damage where your just kind of gone - forever. Even clean.
I have hated seeing my friends cross that line.
I've hated seeing my freinds die. I just found out another friend of 10 years died last Tuesday. He had 5 years sober, started to isolate, went back out (starting with drinking mouthwash) and spiraling down from their. He crossed that line, lost his drivers lisence, lost his job, lost his wife, and had to have a friend care for him. And now he's dead.
My Brother inlaw has been hooked on meth (and oh so convinced that he has fooled everyone). He just want to jail again. He just lost his place, his truck. He hasnt seen his kids in years (tells me "At least I didn't hurt them with my drug use". Um - hey idiot, YOU HURT THEM!
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
They don't call it "Dope" because it makes you "Smarter".
I know you love your husband, and it's okay to love your husband. But you will not have your husband or anyting continuing down this path. That is not just something we say to scare you into quiting. This drug destroys everyting in your life. It want's to destroy you - and if it has to tell you lies like "Why quit if your husband doesnt want you too?" to keep you hooked, then it will.
This is a disease of the mind. You have what they call "stinkin-thinkin". Your thoughts and best ideas are your worst enemy right now.
So believe me and Jack when we tell you facts of what does work.
We have different paths and different ideas to offer, but something will work.
You see, you wont get support from your husband. He loves you just as the two of you are.
Your love is like a dance, and if you start to get help, that dance changes, and that scares him.
I remember my little buddy (that I used with, and he always bought my drugs) always told me how much he loved me.
But he kept me drugged.
See, as long as I was drugged, I needed him. And he needed me to need him. and if I got well, I wouldnt need him anymore. So he kept me very well supplied.
This is where you need to fight for you.
But you can't do that until YOU become more important than your husband.
So I pray for you. I pray that you to dream of a life with your husband, and that you dream of a day of having beautiful children that have never seen you high,
~zillion hugs~

Wiggles Party Theme 101
We have come to a decision. My daughter's 2nd birthday party will be a Wiggle's Theme Party!
She is completely obsessed with The Wiggles, so there really is no other option. I've done some preliminary google searches & compiled some great ideas.
The Invitation – I've chosen this bright & colorful polka dot invitation to compliment the Wiggles theme. I love that you can print your personalized party info inside the polka dots!
The Food – We'll continue the Wiggles theme with the food. The menu currently consists of fruit salad & hot potatoes (French fries or tater tots). And the best idea yet is Henry the Octopus Hot Dogs. Just slice a hot dog the long way a few times, but not all the way through. Then, place them in boiling water & watch the octopus legs curl up just like Henry's!
We are still looking for great ideas for Wiggles Party activities. Please post your comments with suggestions from your Wiggles Theme Party

Project Description:
Hey all,
I'm looking for a potential web designer who would be able to create something fresh and eye-catching. My site is focused around new media like blogs, vlogs, photography and will look to be heavily integrated with social media. The website content will be written all by 'Gen-Y' aged writers for a Gen-Y audience. So it is of paramount importance that the site really stands out and is relevant to the Gen-Y age group (15-35 approx).
There will be primarily articles being posted along with videos and audio files, along with images. I'm also after the ability for people to create accounts on the site which connects their own social media with the site - which will allow them to 'like' articles, videos etc and share/post them on social media.
Would love to hear from you if you're interested! Already have had some offers on other sites, so trying to find the best price.

---- — It's all over but the paperwork.
After a June 12 windstorm and perhaps 8 inches of rain last weekend, the city of Wells has picked up its storm debris and repaired its power lines.
Now, they're wondering if the storms will trigger county and state thresholds for federal assistance. Area cities and counties will also need a disaster declaration before they can be reimbursed for their costs.
Representatives from Rep. Tim Walz's office visited Wells Wednesday to offer help in applying for that assistance.
Though federal assistance is limited to public infrastructure, it appears that dozens of basements in Wells and other area cities have been flooded.
Keith Anderson, manager of South Central Mutual Insurance Company in Blue Earth, said he's a smaller insurer, but that every one of their customers in Wells had some damage.
"Water seeks its path of least resistance, and that was coming up in the basement," he said.
There are no rivers or streams running through Wells, so few residents have flood insurance, he said.
Anderson said his customers have close to $1 million in damage from the storms. The last flooding of this magnitude happened in the summer of 2010, he said.
The first jab in the one-two punch fell on June 12, when a windstorm bent fences and uprooted trees, said Mike Pyzick, interim streets superintendent.
Then, last Friday and Saturday, perhaps 8 inches of rain fell, overwhelming the city's storm sewers and causing a sinkhole. At one point, a vehicle was floating in the water.
"It's been a long 10 days," he said.
The Salvation Army dropped off cleanup kits at Wells City Hall — a mop, squeegee, gloves, bleach, that sort of thing — but they have all been claimed. The city is expecting a second shipment of the supplies.
Three things have to happen before the cities can be reimbursed for 75 percent of their storm expenses.
First, a disaster declaration must be made. Second, the county must have sustained about $50,000 in damage to public infrastructure, which is most likely the case.
Finally, the state must have sustained $7.27 million in public damage. Whether this will be met will depend on the area covered — if the Twin Cities are included it probably will — and on the window for damages. In other words, the National Weather Service will have to decide if the storm system was just one day, a few days or longer.
Storm fatigue was apparent.
"We've had a couple of these 100-year storms in the last five or six years," Police Chief James Ratelle said.
But it's also taught officials the ropes, Mayor Ron Gaines said.
He thanked Shawn Schloesser, a Walz field representative, but told him the city didn't really need any assistance. Well, they had one request.
"Eighty-two and dry would be perfect."

Official Trophy Thread - 4/21: Enhanced Trophy Lists Coming in Firmware 3.30
Posted 20 July 2008 - 09:14 PM
Posted 20 July 2008 - 09:46 PM
Now you know how things are.
Fine. Have it your way.
According to Managing Producer Kyle Shubel, Guerilla Games is determined to support all PlayStation 3 features including full Trophy Support, SIXAXIS motion control, DualShock 3 vibration, online community support and more.
"We are going through that checklist, but that one, we did do them all (PS3 features such as Trophies), and two, they don't feel bolted on," said Shubel. "We want them to feel right."
Shubel continued stating that Killzone 2 will be supported with Trophy support but that details would be held off until around the time of the public beta. He also confirmed that Killzone 2 will feature a plethora of online support outside of simple online gameplay.

Bioshock's trophies officially confirmed along with a look at their design of their trophy set-up, as well.
Recently, the BioShock PS3 design team here at 2K Marin spent some time with the Trophy system for the PS3. The Trophies for the PS3 are ranked as if you, the game player, were an Olympian. It seemed only right that we organize our thoughts by this method.
Our first batch out of the Trophy-maker, were the Bronze Trophies.
Just like in the original BioShock, for the PS3 version our initial emphasis was on encouraging thoroughness and exploration of the BioShock universe. Each system in BioShock has a reward for the player that digs deep enough. Our hope is that players that may otherwise neglect a system will want to explore it just for the Trophy. Systems like Researching, Modifying Weapons, Hacking, and Crafting are all loaded with awards. A meticulous player will find themselves up to their armpits in prizes.
While every system has a tactical in-game advantage, we hope these Trophies will encourage players to try out every aspect of BioShock. Hacking, for example, is a system that some players may never focus on. However, for the player who gets out their wrench and starts tinkering, the tactical significance of having a turret and two security bots on your team is impressive. We hope that luring you in with the promise of glittering medals will make you consider revisiting such systems. We believe that once you get a nibble of the effectiveness of certain tactics, you'll come back for a full meal.
Silver Trophies were next to be handed out.
For the true explorer, we present one of the more difficult Trophies to get in all of Rapture. The "Historian" Trophy is awarded for finding every single audio diary. This particular Trophy is Silver because we understand the rigor required for this endeavor. If you're a true adventurer and seek to know the full story of the fall of Rapture, look under every desk and open every door. There are many to find.
As you may expect, several Trophies must remain secret. Giving this information away has the same effect as turning to the last page in a great book. We imagine you hate this as much as we do. The other silver Trophy must remain in our vault until you discover it for yourselves.
Next we turned to the Gold Trophies, the real beauties.
When considering how to use these Trophies to reward players, we chose to give a respectful nod to those few who desire a challenge. We believe that BioShock PS3 has a lot to offer in a single play through, but we wanted to emphasize and reward a player's second or third descent into Rapture. This led us to create new Trophies that encourage more advanced tactics and enemies that provide a greater challenge.
As a result of this thinking the first Trophy bears the name, "Brass Balls". If you desire to be among the few who have this prestigious award on their mantle, you must win BioShock on Hard difficulty with the Vita-Chambers turned off. A feat so daring that anyone even glimpsing this formidable Trophy in your glass case will be shaking with terror and respect.
There are still more Trophies yet to be unveiled which will push you further than this. Devilish trials which only the sturdiest among us will finish. Keep your ears peeled for further details.
We believe that you will find gathering all of these Trophies a grueling but satisfying trek. Should you manage to gather every single bronze, silver, and gold Trophy, the ultimate achievement is waiting: the coveted BioShock Platinum Trophy. Its glistening mass is reserved for those few who can stare down a Big Daddy without shivering.
Our hands are at the ready to give congratulatory pats on the back to anyone strong willed enough to claim these shiny keepsakes. Until then, expect more updates from the designers here at 2K Marin as BioShock for the PS3 surfaces.

Anyway, this all leads into trophies somehow. Ah yes, because our development cycle is so short, we find ourselves being able to implement all the latest OS-supported features before anyone else can. For PixelJunk Monsters it was Dual-Shock 3 support, but this time there have been a couple of really cool new features and we have put both in. These are the Trophy support and the YouTube video upload support. Both of which are really cool.
Initially we implemented all our own trophy screens etc., but then Sony Computer Entertainment built it all into the OS, which really helped us out. The trophy comparing and your "gamer card" screen really up the ante for those hard core gamers out there. In fact, it might make some of the non-gamer types even turn hard-core as chasing trophies can be rather addicting.
PixelJunk Eden is a short-form PSN title so there are fewer trophies when compared to, say, a Blu-ray title (which can have the esteemed platinum trophy), but we still managed to pack in quite a few. To begin with, you can get a bronze trophy for opening every "seed" in a stage. This is quite a challenge on some of the stages as the gardens are large and expansive. Then there are trophies for a load of other things, such as destroying 500 of the "prowlers," or collecting 15 "crystals" in one jump. My personal favorite is a trophy that you can only achieve in 3P mode, where you have to "volley" a player between you back and forth five times without him/her landing on a plant, a bit like tennis.
Dylan Cuthbert gave a little teaser on the PS Blog about PixelJunk Eden's trophies and said this about trophies for PixelJunk Monsters:
Oh, and we have been totally inundated with requests for trophies in PixelJunk Monsters via some kind of patch. As this goes to press, I can say we are definitely looking into it - you just need to badger Deborah Mars and her team in Santa Monica to get some dates set. If we release a patch, we will not only implement this but we will also implement XMB music and a couple of other things.
He mentions in the comments that they're looking for a way to implement trophies retroactively so that you don't need to earn them all over again.

Is there a game save for PSN games or are they just saved within the game? If so I hope retroactive trophies work for this title.

In terms of retroactiveness, I hope since I only have 240 medal points, if I got to 300 points, and that, along with 100 and 200 points was a trophy trigger, I'd get those as well. I'd hate to delete my save file and start again.
I wonder when Warhawk's getting trophies. I know Burnout's getting trophies in August (latest reports), so August could be PS3 trophy get month.

I suppose this is at least a step up because it's not a score like achievements.

What's the fucking point of this trophy system?
I suppose this is at least a step up because it's not a score like achievements.
Looking at it optimistically, it gives you new ways to play a game, and gives you a subtle Pavlovian pat on that back for playing well. Pessimistically it's still nerd points/e-penor size waving around.

Welcome to the Atworth Village website!
1. ATAG - Atworth Traffic Action Group
Road Traffic Accidents - They Cost YOU!
The report entitled "Joint Report - Costs of Road Traffic Casualties 2010-2011" revealed that
Wiltshire Council (Fire, Police and Ambulance) spent £116million on dealing with road traffic
collisions in the single year 2010 of the report.
The average costs were £1.5million per fatality, £178,000 per serious injury and £13,000 per
slight injury.
Read the report in full here.
A representative from ATAG attended Wiltshire County Council's Cabinet meeting in Salisbury
to request the creation of a process for examining these costs with a view to spending,
strategically, a proportion of it in advance, with the objective of gaining a repeated
reduction over several years.
The A365 West out of Atworth
Late in December 2012, ATAG measured the vertical visibility along the western A365 out of
Atworth against the Department for Transport's (DfT) Road Signing Manual advice. ATAG found
that vertical visibility met requirements for double white lines under chapter 5 of the advice.
Also, under the advice of the DfT Setting Local Speed Limits circular, Atworth is entitled to
a 40mph buffer speed limit beyond the current 30mph in view of the 15% of traffic that is
exceeding 60mph on approach to the 30mph signs.
A "quick & dirty" survey by Highways had confirmed that there are parts of the western A365
where vertical & horizontal visibility is within DfT conditions for double white lines.
ATAG regrets that the Parish Council did not take the opportunity to request a formal study to
implement the double-white lines and 40mph buffer zone modifications proposed by ATAG
as part of the installation of the new Village Gates.
Read the MetroCount details and the DfT documents here (may take time if your Internet
connection is not fast). See also atag.99k.org
As the editor of the Atworth Village Magazine from 2006 to 2012, I am very pleased to
welcome Paul Tyler as the new Editor/Publisher of the magazine for Atworth.
Thanks for volunteering (and getting me out of a tight spot!) and Good Luck Paul!

You are now viewing the Atworth Village website, which in August 2006, replaced the original Atworth website created by Martin Beta.
This website was created by Kenneth Spencer of KA Spencer (Software). The site is paid for by Kenneth, and is maintained in close co-production with the Atworth Village Magazine which Kenneth has also published since August 2006.
The Atworth Village website contains information on all aspects of village life in Atworth, serving all equally, not just one group, not just one organisation. If your organisation is not represented, simply use the email link below or at the foot of the page to start the process of getting your organisation onto the site.
If you live in Atworth, or have an interest in the village, then it is your site. You will find links to the various sections of the site in the scrolling pane on the left of the page. Just scroll up or down and click on the section that is of interest to you.
Please tell us what you think (email@example.com), and what you would like to see on the site.
New messaging service: As we receive a great many emails from persons who once either lived in Atworth, or had a family connection with the village, we have set up a new arrangement for simple messaging . You can leave a brief message, and residents who may regularly read this website may reply to you and provide help in answering your question. You will find the link to the Old Friends pages in the scrolling panel on the left. This service replaces the Family History link, as that can no longer be serviced.
If you are interested in Atworth from an historical
perspective, you might like to read the
Historical Note below. The note was extracted from various
communications between the website author, Kenneth Spencer and Mr David Webb of Atworth, and with others.
The Village of Atworth is situated in the west of the county of Wiltshire, approximately equidistant from the town of Melksham which is to its east, and the magnificent Georgian City of Bath, in the county of Somerset, to its west. With a population of about 1300, it lies along the A365 as it passes east from Box to Melksham.
The co-ordinates of the Atworth Clock Tower, which is Atworth's most prominent monument are: N:53°23'33.45" W:2°11'57.27" A:73m.
Although Atworth nestles in a rather idyllic rural setting (somewhat spoiled by the A365), it is within easy reach of the Wiltshire market towns of Devizes, Chippenham, Trowbridge, Bradford on Avon, Westbury, Warminster & Frome.
The M4 motorway can be accessed eastwards to/from London via the A350 just north of Chippenham, or westwards to/from Bristol and Cardiff via the A4 and A46 north of Bath.
Historical Note
The famous mapmaker and cartographer John Speed (1552 - 1629) shows Atworth
on his maps of Wiltshire. However, it appears with the name "Atford". Later, in
1773, the mapmakers Andrews and Dury, published a map of Wiltshire in which
Atworth appeared as both "Atford" and as "Attworth".
By the time the Ordnance Survey produced its first maps in the early 19th
century, the village was almost exclusively referred to as "Atworth".
