We can sum up R.L.'s new magnum opus "Halloween Hell-Fire: Smokin' In The Boys Room" in one word: GOOSEBUMPS.
Serious. Got some real ass goosebumps on this one. Fa really doe. Lookin' like geese up in here with hundreds of bumps covering every square inch of our torched bods. Laying eggs and shit. Eating little pieces of bread. Chasing kids. Trying to peck their eyeballs. Our bumps, our bumps, our loosey goosey bumps. Like that Black Eyed Peas song? But we changed the words a little bit? Weird Al style. He should totally use that for one of his epic polka parodies. With his accordion. We saw Weird Al in a Ruby Tuesdays once, munching out on some bacon ched sliders. Shit looked di-vine. He's not as weird in real life as he pretends to be on the TV. The bizarre tale in R.L.'s latest Goosebumps was way weirder than Al. Believe that.
Stein's literary masterpiece is a modernist quest to define the self. There ain't been chops like this from the Stein family since the days of R.L.'s lesbian grandmammy, Gertrude. R.L. explores the human condition like only R.L. can. Shit had me going through the works. The water works. I cried. I screamed. I shivered. I hooted. I hollered. My hair stood on end. I hid my head under my blanket. I nearly jumped clean out of my skin. The only thing I couldn't do was PUT IT DOWN. LOL. CuZ IT WUz sO GoOoD!!! Talk about a page turner.
The protagonist, Xander Magoo, is everyman. Your average Average Joe. His parents' working class background makes him the symbol of the proletariat's hopeless quest to transcend social stratification. Stein uses Xander's hamster, hopelessly running on it's wheel, to represent the capitalist charade. Deep Mon.
This Marxist masterpiece follows Magoo as he is flung into the world of bone chilling fright along with his best friend and fountainhead of comic relief Blaine "Earwig" Jewstein. Their adventure begins when they find out that their Chemistry Teacher, Mr. Gorbachev, has been catnapping the neighborhoods' felines. And by catnapping, I don't mean taking a quick snooze on the couch after inhaling a can of tuna. I'm talking about kitty abductions! Pussy snatching!
So Xander and Earwig plot out a wicked scheme to catch Mr. Gorbachev red fucking handed on none other than ALL HOLLOWS EVE. WoOoOo! SPoOoOoKY. So they sneak into Mr. Gorbachev's house and set up a camera crew so that they can bust him To Catch a Predator style. Dateline NBC Y'all. Chris Hansen eat your heart out.
Long story short, one thing leads to another and they end up in a high speed chase on
their Huffy bikes. Then there's like…a swamp….And….there's this whole thing about Mr. Gorbachev keeping his teaching position because of tenure…maybe there was something about a golden amulet? I'll be honest, I might have just skimmed the last couple chapters. But it really was good! I swear, like the first 30 pages were fucking fire ass fire. It just got late and I had one of those weeks.
Like for instance on Wednesday, I went to Belk's to get some of these fucking Ralph Lauren ties like James Franco wears and they CANCELLED my Belk's Rewards Plus Credit Card. What kind of jergoffs do they got running this place? How the heck do these royal jergoffs expect me to buy any Ralph Lauren ties if they cut me off? Like, Ralph is a personal friend of mine and with one fucking phone call I could BURY YOU, Belk's. Like, he invited me to his nephew's baptism in Milan and if I gave him the word, he would pull his entire line from your stores so fast that your jergoff heads would twist clean off your little chode bodies. Don't think I won't, Belk's. I'm not the kind of guy you want to fuck with. All I want is my fucking Belk's Rewards Plus Credit Card with the 10% discount so I can buy some fucking Ralph Lauren ties so I can look like James Franco. HE IS HANDSOME.
Did you see Pineapple Express? So Funny. Talk about range. Just when you think you've got James Franco's figured out, he comes out of left field with a doozie like this. God damn it, he's good. Rise of the Planet of the Apes? He was like a super smart monkey scientist that taught them how to read books. Nailed it. Spider-Man 3? He's was an evil goblin and ripped Toby McGuire's dick off. Pure gold. He's like a shape shifter or something the way he goes from role to role. Like a shape shifting mighty morphing changeling chamillionaire or something. God bless.

Dear All
After estimation of structural VAR in the following way
dec frml[rect] afrml
nonlin g25 g34 g42 ...
frml afrml = ||1.0 ...
compute g25=g34=g42=........=0.0001
cvmodel(a=afrml,...... ) %sigma
Query 1. Is the following command for the computation of Structural Variance decomposition
and structural IRF.
errors(impulses,model=modelname,factor=afactor) 4 24 ;because factor=afactor is being used?
Query 2. Is the following command for Structural Impulse Response graphs.
@VARIRF(factor=afactor,model=brazilmodel,steps=24,varlabels=implabel,page=byshocks) because we use factor=afactor (of course without C.I bands)
Query 3. when I use MONTESVAR.RPF for Impulse Responses, despite required changes it gives me the shock window with 7 rows but 3 columns where I need 7 rows 7 columns. To my understanding I changed dim %%responses(draw) ...command replacing 3 with 7 but again "shock window" gives 7 rows 3 columns? where I should make changes.
Thanking you in advance.

Sport fueled and street primed, this lifestyle frame of lightweight C-5™; alloy lets you change your look and even carry the colors of your favorite team. PAPERCLIP™ comes with two sets of interchangeable icon/earstem inserts, and with a different color on each facing, they let you customize the frame with four different hues. The frame contour extends peripheral view while the UNOBTAINIUM® inserts maintain a comfortable fit that stays in place.
Right out of the box, you'll have four different color options for the interchangeable icons and earstem inserts, and you can get additional optional sets with even more colors. Five metal compounds are superheated and fused to create the C-5™ alloy that makes this frame so durable and lightweight. PAPERCLIP™ is available in two sizes, and a collection specific case is included. Now that you've found style that speaks to you, match it with the best optics by rigging PAPERCLIP™ with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses.
Oakley is renowned for optical technology, our company's innovations in frame architecture have always been the gold standard for precision, performance, durability and design. The latest Oakley breakthrough is a hinge mechanism that comes in two forms: MONO SHOCK™ and TWIN SHOCK™, developed for Rx eyewear and sunglasses. Inspired by pro racing, the structures are similar to leaf springs used for shock absorption. MONO SHOCK™ has a single 'tine" (a slender projecting part, like the tines of a fork) that bridges the frame and the ear stem. TWIN SHOCK™ utilizes two.
Here are the key benefits:
Durability. The peerless architecture is sturdier than conventional hinges because no springs are used. Instead, the mechanism is a solid component that takes advantage of a durable yet lightweight alloy of titanium, a premium metal that resists corrosion.
Flexibility. Oakley formulated the alloy to be flexible. When you push an ordinary frame stem even a subtle distance beyond its normal open position, you risk breaking the hinge. With Oakley's new design, the stem simply springs back to where it should be.
Comfort and fit. There is no inward pressure when the frame stems are in their normal open position. Subtle flexibility of the entire frame accommodates a wide range of head sizes.
Distinctiveness. This is a recognizable design feature, unique in its architecture and distinguishing in its simple beauty.

The Other Man
What would you do if you found out that your loyal (or so you thought) spouse was having an affair? This is not a new question in cinema. From Dial M for Murder to Match Point and throughout the history of movies, infidelity has been a constant source of melodrama. The Other Man continues in this tradition with a trio of solid actors and an appealing European motif, but ultimately it tries a bit too hard to put a new spin on a tried-and-true genre.
From the trailer and promotional materials, The Other Man appears to be a fairly standard love triangle thriller: Man finds out his wife is having a secret affair, goes looking for the other man, plans revenge, etc. And for the first two-thirds of the film, this is pretty much what The Other Man is. But in its third act, the film takes a completely unexpected turn that causes the viewer to rethink everything they've seen. It's a dramatic ending, to be sure, but also a little cheap. It's a twist ending that feels frustrating and baffling and, unless you see the film a second time, completely out of place.
This is what I can tell you about the plot, which is adapted from a short story by Bernhard Schlink (The Reader): Peter (Liam Neeson) and Lisa (Laura Linney) are a wealthy married couple jetsetting around Europe where Peter is a business executive and Lisa is a celebrated shoe designer. They have an adult daughter named Abigail (Romola Garai) who is dating a working class man in whom Peter disapproves. After a few scenes in which Lisa talks to Peter about whether he would ever consider an affair with another woman, Lisa disappears. After she leaves, Peter looks in her files and computer and uncovers evidence of an ongoing affair she had had with someone named "Ralph" (Antonio Banderas). Enraged, Peter travels to Italy where he locates Ralph, forges a strange friendship with him (in which the two men play a lot of chess), and thinks about killing him. All along, Ralph has no idea who Peter really is (the husband of his lover), until the moment when Peter reveals his identity and the shocking truth about his wife that then turns the movie on its head.
Until the big twist, the narrative is forcibly ambiguous and painfully disjointed. On a second viewing, it all makes sense. But without the foreknowledge of what is really happening, the first two-thirds of the film is just confusing.
Part of the problem is the film's bizarre, overly artsy editing. We are rushed back and forth in time, from present to past to future and in and out of various points of view. A chess scene between Neeson and Banderas, for example, is interrupted by distracting memory flashes and scenes from we-aren't-quite-sure-where. It's extremely discombobulating, and, again, only makes sense on a second viewing.
But the biggest problem is the film's direction. British director Richard Eyre offered a truly compelling drama with 2006's Notes on a Scandal, a straightforward drama (albeit with a slightly unorthodox subject matter) aided by superb performances by great actresses (Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench). Though The Other Man has a cast of great actors, they are sadly squandered in a convoluted story that feigns elegance but comes across as pretentious Euro-trash. A less-is-more direction would have aided a film like this, allowing the actors to drive the story rather than a gimmicky plot contrivance. As it is, however, The Other Man is a cinematic indulgence with an annoying and unwelcome sense of "fooled you!" cleverness. In the pantheon of twist-ending movies, The Other Man ranks closer to The Number 23 than it does to The Sixth Sense. I.e., it's not very good).

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: God and Creation
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
Uncertainty is Uncomfortable
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
Is there room in evolutionary creation to believe in miracles?
God acts in more than one way in the natural world. God sustains the regular patterns of the physical world, but sometimes chooses to act outside of those patterns. God's regular patterns are what scientists describe as natural laws (like gravity or photosynthesis). God's actions outside those patterns are usually called supernatural actions or miracles (like raising someone from the dead). Evolutionary creationists believe in the miracles of the Bible and that God can do miracles today. Evolutionary creationists also believe that God is just as involved in the regular patterns of the universe as in miracles.

Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient

In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.

In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.

I know… Its about time I told you about my fabulous day trip to the Good Food and Wine Show this year. The best year yet – because I nolonger "work" in the wine industry in the traditional sense – and I got to participate as a patron.
And participating as a patron has taught me that the organisers have neglected to think of one think that serious wine drinkers /tasters need: Spittoons. Now guys if you only learn one thing from my blog, let it be this:
Spitting wine out is polite. Of course, we don't do this at home, but Wine tasting etiquette in a sales room demands you to start spitting. Why? Because you start getting inebriated. If you are getting tiddly and trying 20 wines, you won't be able to remember your day and the sales person will not be interested in you seriously. You will not get to try the good stuff. Why else? A Cellar Door is in no way friday afternoon free drinks. I am pro-charging for wine tastings. Boo Hoo. What is $5 to try a $100 bottle of wine?
Too embarassed? Personally I am more judgemental of a non-spitter than someone who has tried and managed to get a trophy of red wine spilled down their front. It doesnt have to be classy. Just lean over and spit it in. Or if a small bucket, pick it up by the rim if you have to and discreetly spit. A good cellar door will keep emptying it to save you the protein splash backs. [Shudders]
To appear serious to another wineo you should complete in ORDER:
- Look at the glass. Colour of wine can tell you alot more than you know. Colour comes from age, the skins, oak… The "legs" or the clear running film of wine thats slow to fall will tell you about the level of alcohol in the wine.
- Swill the wine. If you can't manage to keep the contents inside your glass put the base on a flat surface and swill in circular motions keeping the base flat. You'll look like a pro. Swilling opens up wine to air, oxygenation releases flavour as air excites the molecules in the wine. Its like wine porn.
- Stick your nose in. One thing that irked me is when customers bypassed the nose. If our taste is through our nose, then 80% of the enjoyment in a great wine for me is in the nose. I can spend more time wanking on about the features of the wine's "bouquet" more than I can it's flavour at times. The other thing is, I literally mean "stick your nose in". Aim to get as close to the wine without touching it with your nose. To be honest and to scare you, I isolate my right nostril and only take it in with one. (I am a righty, but I can also swing to the left). I think this clarifies my sense of smell… but to be honest I have no idea if its of better benefit to anyone else but me.
- Sip. The worst part about non-wineos is when they gulp it like beer. Wine is all about mouth feel, so don't rush it. Sip, keeping it on the front of your palate and then pull the wine through your mouth. Sucking air through the wine as it allows the layers show show different flavours. Its not a gargle but a subtle "inhale" by almost whilstling backwards.
- Spit. Don't need to do it at home. Hell the best of us smash heads are wineos. But seriously, if you are at a winery, you look like a fool if you don't. It has nothing to do with being a driver or having a good time. It is actually rude to swallow everything.
- Lastly, if you liked something. Buy it. If you tried everything but didnt like anything, buy something*. Its like trying on every dress in the shop and looking great in everything, flashing your credit card and not buying anything.
*The above section was changed to reflect my intended meaning not the one that came out when I rushed to the {submit} button.
At the Good Food and Wine Show, the only spittons around were the small overflowing buckets. Its disappointing that they want to be taken seriously as Australias Biggest Food and Wine Show and only offer a tiny little bucket that quickly overflows. To be honest, I was spitting in silo rubbish bins. Attractive thought…
So…. the last question of the night is – do you spit or swallow?

3D Toad- 360* images worth more than a thousand words
Posted by admin | Posted in Analyze, Evaluate, Interactive Whiteboard, iPod, Math, Middle/High School, Music, PE, Primary Elementary, Science, Secondary Elementary, Social Studies, Teacher Resources, Technology, Understand (describe, explain), Websites | Posted on 16-04-2012

What it is: 3D Toad is a site I learned about from @rmbyrne's fantastic blog, Free Tech for Teachers. This is like hitting the lottery of educational image libraries. It goes beyond your typical image library and has 3D images that students can spin all around and explore from every angle. Stinking awesome! Even better? (Yes, it gets better.) It works on mobile iDevice browsers! There are great images to explore on a variety of educational topics including: dissections, animal skeletons, human skeletons, music, geology, dental hygiene, coral, yoga, ballet positions, fossils, history, chemistry, emergency preparedness and computer networking.
Our students are learning all about earth systems right now so the fossils, geology and coral are especially exciting!
How to integrate 3D Toad into the Classroom: They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If a regular picture is worth a thousand, these 3D images are worth at least 360 times more. The 3D images on 3D Toad let students examine all 360* of an image. Students can examine, discover, and analyze images from various angles. 3D Toad helps students really visualize learning in new ways.
Use 3D Toad as a visual glossary on classroom computers. Students can visit this "visual glossary" center to explore objects and new vocabulary that they are learning. It would also be great on an interactive whiteboard or classroom computer where students can examine objects together. 3D Toad has a video on their site that shows a teacher using 3D Toad with students. I don't love their example because the teacher is at the center of a review time before a test. The best use of this site would be to let students loose on it so that they can explore the images on their own.
3D Toad would be a great place for students to practice their observation skills. Each student could choose an object to explore in depth, write a detailed description and observation of the object. Working with a partner, they can describe their object and see if their partner can identify the image from the description alone.
These 360* images can be used for introducing new concepts, as a visual aid for students who are presenting learning, and as a place for further exploration of a topic or object.
Please leave a comment and share how you are using 3D Toad in your classroom!

Based in Seattle, Washington the Seahawks are an expansion team that joined the NFL in 1976. The team bears a singular distinction as being the only team to play in both the AFC and NFC Championship Games. The franchise has also appeared in Super Bowl XL in which Seahawks tickets gave fans the opportunity to see the Seahawks take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Beginning in 1984, the team began an 11 year period in which they could not win a single playoff game, the longest stretch for any team in the NFL. Even though Seahawks tickets gave fans the chance to witness the team win no less than seven divisional titles since its creation, it would not be until 2005, the same season they went to the Super Bowl, that the Seahawks were able to net another NFC Championship win. The team made history yet again in 2010 when the Seahawks made the playoffs despite having only a 7-9 record, giving them the dubious honor of being the only team in NFL history to win their division but be under .500. Seahawks tickets treated fans to the team's decisive victory over the Rams earning them a place in the post season. It was during the playoffs that the team faced off against the New Orleans Saints, then the defending Super Bowl champions. The Seahawk's upset victory brought cheers from the team's fans and anyone lucky enough to be in possession of Seahawks tickets that were so loud, they caused a minor earthquake in the surrounding area.
For home games, the purchase of Seahawks tickets grants access to Century- Link Field. First opened in July of 2002, the 430 million dollar complex is shared by the Seahawks and the Seattle Sunders, the cities Major League Soccer team. Offering a 67,000 seat capacity that can be expanded to 72,000, if Seahawks ticket sale that are greater than expected, or if the facility is needed for special events and occasions. Century-Link is quite popular with residents of Seattle as well as Seahawks fans, with stadium seats often selling out during the team's home games. Seahawks tickets remain a popular item for both fans and residents alike. The Seahawks have some of the loudest fans in the sport, and the number 12, representing the 12th man, was retired by the team in their honor. With just the small cost of purchase Seahawks tickets allow fans the chance to join the Sea Gals and the team's mascot Blitz in cheering the team on in person. During home games, just before kickoff, a flag bearing the number 12 is raised and saluted in a ritual meant to honor the fans of the team. The Seahawks have been enjoying improving performance over the past few seasons, and making the trip to Century-Link field to support the Seahawks is a ritual that very few fans miss out on, making Seahawks tickets a popular item whenever the team is playing at home.
6-12-13: Seattle was a big-time surprise in 2012, and that had everything to do with an elite defense and a stud rookie quarterback in Russell Wilson. It was supposed to be Matt Flynn under center, but it was instead the athletic third-round pick who helped raise the Seahawks to playoff relevancy, and almost got them to the NFC title game. This year, Wilson should only be better, while the acquisition of electric wide receiver Percy Harvin should only assist Wilson in taking Seattle's offense to new heights. Throw in the Seahawks' elite secondary and a hopefully improved pass-rush, and Seattle should contend for the NFC West crown and make another deep playoff run.
1-9-13: Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson showed a ton of poise and leadership skills from the very beginning of the season and onward into the playoffs. After an impressive comeback win in Washington during the NFC wild card game the Seahawks will now head into Atlanta to face the #1 seeded Falcons. Seattle has won six games in a row including the playoffs and they are red hot. Unfortunately they will not be able to use their 12th man-like home crowd this postseason, but they have no doubts in themselves and their capabilities. If the Seattle pass rush can put pressure on Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons, they will have a good chance to keep the score close and win the game on the road.
12-4-12: With three out of the next four games to finish the season being at home, the Seahawks will rely on their proclaimed '12th man' to get into the playoffs for the second straight year. Rookie Quarterback Russell Wilson will lead his team against the Arizona Cardinals this week, a team that mustered up only 6 points against the Jets in New York. Last week the Seahawks put together an impressive overtime win in Chicago against the Bears.

Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery
Surgery Overview
Aortic valve replacement is a surgery done for Reference aortic valve stenosis Opens New Window and Reference aortic valve regurgitation Opens New Window. The surgery is either an open-heart surgery or a Reference minimally invasive surgery. In an aortic valve replacement surgery, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve.
View a Reference slideshow on aortic valve replacement surgery Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
How is it done?
During open-heart valve surgery, the doctor makes a large incision in the chest. Blood is circulated outside of the body through a machine to add oxygen to it (cardiopulmonary bypass or heart-lung machine). The heart may be cooled to slow or stop the heartbeat so that the heart is protected from damage while surgery is done to replace the valve with an artificial valve.
The artificial valve might be mechanical (made of man-made substances). Others are made out of animal tissue, often from a pig.

Please, let me a comment or an email (firstname.lastname@example.com), or click on a 'like' button, to let me know if this post was helpful.It takes time to write this kind of literature and comments are the reward! Thanks.
Having a testing platform including VMware virtualization, and used for testing softwares with different Operating Systems like Windows, Linux (Red Hat, Debian, Solaris …), ubuntu, I want to deploy as soon as possible new OS on Virtual Machines.
For example, I recently added an ESXi vSphere 5 server (available since the end of August 2011) to enhance my architecture, which currently includes ESX 3.5, ESXi 4.1 and ESX 4.0.
And this week, with the release of Windows 8 developer preview, I have some work to do.
But like a lot of people, I've started by a failure, before finding a method which allows me to achieve my goal: to run a windows 8 on a 4.1 or 5.0 vSphere server (both of which been tested on ESXi).
I present below the unsuccessful attempts and the one that worked, and which ultimately will seem obvious.
Step 1 : get the installation files (ISO). They are simply here in 32-bit and 64 bit (respectively 2.8 GB and 3.6 GB). Note: a third version with more tools developers, sized 4.8 GB.
My advice: Save the files (ISO) on a NAS, accessible from any PC / VM on your network. Download the ISO at least for the 32 bits version.
Step 2 : Create a VM on your ESX 4.1 or 5, based on the guest OS 'Windows 7′ (32b or 64b depending on the ISO you downloaded). Then start the VM, attach the ISO to Windows 8 via the "Connect" button and start the installation. I do not write more details because this is the standard procedure that you probably know.
And then … It's the drama: a beautiful screen of death that we thought gone forever:
Then you can restart the VM, redo the installation, 32b or 64 b, change the settings vmware … Always the damn HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED. Note one hope: on vSphere 5, you must choose "Windows 7″ at the initial creation of the VM but you see "Windows 8″ in the list of guest OS if you edit the parameters of an existing VM . Unfortunately, nothing change … Still the same crash.
I've browsed the web without finding any providential relief about it. But lucky enough, it allowed me to know about the release of VMware Workstation 8, which supports the installation of «Windows 8». Let's go to the next step:
Step 3 : Download VMware Workstation 8. This product is not free, and to download it you must log in to your vmware account. The good news is that you can create a free account for those who do not have one, and you can get a vmware workstation 8′s trial license for one month. So on the download page, you will see first the license and three versions: the installation packages for 32 and 64 bit windows, linux 32 b and finally linux 64 b.
My advice : download the "windows 32-bit and 64″ (474 MB) on your network and create a text file in which you will copy / paste the license.
Step 4: Install "Workstation 8″ on your PC or on an available physical server . The sequences are:
Start the install, choose the mode "Typical", installation is working. then enter the license (use the text file above), and confirm the license agreement.
Step 5: Install "Windows 8″.
Again, the steps are simple. The approach is similar to what you used to do on vSphere 4.1: create an "envelope" of the VM, connect an ISO and start the installation. There is just one "fundamental" step to do. Let's go:
Start by running vmware Workstation 8, and the temporary license will be displayed first.
After validation, you will get the HOME :
Click on "Create a New Virtual Machine" and you will have :
Click on "Next"…
And on the following screen, select "I will install the Operating System later". This is the "fundamental" step that I mentioned previously. If you keep the default option and start the installation directly, you will get errors about a license file and you will not go further.
After a click on "Next", you will see :
Then, select "Windows" and «Windows 7» or "Windows 7 (x64)".
Click "Next", et define the size disk and the kind of file.
My advice : at least 25 GB seems necessary, and select "Store as a single disk size", we shall see the usefulness of this option. Click "Next".
Here we are … Click "Finish".
You get your VM in the list of available VM (I have two in this example, I make several kind of tests).
If you click on "Edit Virtual Machine Settings", you will see the screen below which allows you to adjust settings, including those of the allocated memory (it lloks like the familiar environment of vSphere).
But click on the "CD / DVD (IDE)" and select "Use ISO image file:" then click "Browse" to connect the ISO file of "windows 8″ you want to install:
Confirm with "OK" which takes you back to the HOME and the list of available VM. Then click on "Power On this virtual machine." The VM starts and will boot from the ISO …
Let the initial setup (creating a user account), it is not the subject of this article.
You get your first glimpse of the new user interface of "Windows 8″ Metro!
At the end of this long "step 5″, we've got a "Windows 8″ installed (and which works) in a VM. But we do not reached our goal because if you remember, the VM is running on a physical server with the "Workstation 8″ and not an infrastructure based on a vSphere 4.1 or 5.0. Continue our quest.
Step 6 : Move our VM "Windows 8″ which runs, from "Workstation 8″ to VMware vSphere 5.
I thought (naively) that, given the close dates of releases between "vSphere 5″ and "workstation 8″, there was a good chance that the VM created under "Workstation 8″ can also function under "vSphere 5″. For this, the most natural is to use "vmware converter" which as its name suggests, allows you to convert a VM between different vmware products.
So here you download converter, install and configure. Installation is in standalone mode on the computer that runs Workstation 8. You select your source VM "Windows 8″ and then provide the connection information to your vCenter 5 (vCenter, not the ESX!) and start the conversion / migration. this is a "magic" tool, it converts and copies the VM on your vCenter 5.
I pass over the steps and settings. Because, as you guessed, when I started the "Windows 8″ VM in my vCenter 5, it boots but not finally started. So this step 6 is failed "as is" (unless someone knows about specific manipulations to lead to the end).
Step 7: Despair … There, I had come prepared to do anything. So I tried replacing the virtual disk.
Basically, the approach was as follows:
Create on a vCenter 5, a similar VM to that used to mount the "Windows 8″ VM on the "workstation 8″ :
- Same basic guest OS (Windows 7), same features for memory and disk
- Deleting the virtual disk on the datastore of the vCenter 5.
- Upload the virtual disk of the "Windows 8″ VM, from the physical server to the vCenter 5 datastore (hence the need to select "Store as a single disk size" in the original creation of the VM, as it is easier to move a single large file!).
- Use the command "vmkfstools" to import the virtual disk on ESX
Not surprisingly, the start of the VM on the vCenter 5 did not give better results than previously. We see a message "Windows Developer Preview" but the VM stops during boot. Perhaps the study of the logs would allow an admin to find vmware configuration changes? I myself have given up this way.
Step 8 : The upgrade of version. I thought that was the easiest way to upgrade an existing VM to "Windows 8." So I took one of my "Windows 7″ test VM which I think is technically the closest to the "Windows 8″ version . And I made a simple upgrade after connecting the ISO installation.
I confess that, reaching the fourth screen, I was hopeful. Then the "blue screen of death".
Step 9: A good night's sleep. Sleep on it… I finally combined what worked:
- install «Windows 8» in a VM under "Workstation 8″.
- install "Workstation 8″ in a VM under vSphere 5.
Yes, it's so "simple" than this. In vSphere 5, first build (or reuse) a "Windows 7 32b or 64b" VM. However, change the settings for:
- Increase the memory to 4096 MB
- Allocate significant resources for memory and CPU (as much as you can allow your ESXi)
- Assign 2 CPUs
- Have at least 20 GB of free (resize disk if necessary)
Turn on your VM, and reboot again if needed to apply the new parameters. Now, follow previous steps 3, 4 and 5 on your "windows 7″ VM. Install a version of Windows 8 32-bit, you may not be able to deploy 64-bit depending on the characteristics of your physical servers.
You will get a "Windows 8″ running (in a "Windows 7″ VM) on your ESXi 5.0.
My advice : for all the operations on the "Windows 7″ VM, connect previously on it with mstsc -console, and not using the vmware console!
Finally, we've reached our goal : to run a "Windows 8″ on an vSphere 5 infrastructure. Although it is encapsulated in a "Windows 7″, you do not need to monopolize physical resources other than your vmware infrastructure.
Step 10 : Do the same on a vCenter 4.1?
The simplicity with which this took place over a vCenter 8 pushed me tried the same operation on a vCenter 4.1, which represents the majority of my qualification platform, and is currently the most common (vSphere 5 having just out). So I applied the approach of step 9 (but without the sleep's night) but I 've got an error when creating the VM in "Workstation 8″
Thanks to this post, I could solve the problem. We must change the settings of the VM that runs "Workstation 8″ to activate a specific mode. To do this, turn off the "Windows 7″ VM and on the vCenter 4.1, click "Change settings" for that VM. Go to the tab "Options", line "Advanced" / "General" and then click on the "Configuration Settings …" which will appear in the lower right.
On the new window, click on "Add Line" and insert the following three lines (or modify the value if the line exists):
deploymentPlatform = "vmkernel"
monitor_control.vt32 = "TRUE"
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"
Close everything, restart the "Windows 7″ VM, restart "Workstation 8″ and there you should see new messages when creating a VM:
That it works! You can start the installation of "Windows 8 Developer Preview" on your ESX 4.1.
We have reached our goal of deploying a "Windows 8 Developer Preview" on both vSphere 4.1 and 5.0. This installation is standard enough that everyone can use this VM for testing even if it is encapsulated in a VM Windows 7.
And now ?
I guess that VMWARE will "soon" communicate a workaround on how to run a "Windows 8″ VM directly on a vCenter, bypassing the mechanism described above. While "Windows 8″ is not officially released (the GA should not take place until a good year), interest in virtualization seems to me particularly in the ability to be able to quickly and easily create new test platforms taking into account the latest technical developments, without waiting for everything to be fixed.
If you enjoyed this post, please come back often because this site should soon be enriched by new items.

He didn't have to reveal the reward, because it was there for the taking.
Coming off a loss at East Columbus earlier in the week that snapped the team's 37-game league winning streak, the Golden Tornadoes answered their coach's call by crashing the boards and dominating inside, holding off the Bulldogs, 70-55.
Down by as many as 13 in the second half, St. Pauls cut the deficit to three with 5:07 remaining. But Fairmont responded with an 8-0 run of its own, keyed by six points from leading scorer Kwinton Hinson, who finished with a game-high 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Fairmont Senior forward Charlton Townsend had his best outing of the season, tallying 15 points and 16 boards. It was Fairmont's third consecutive conference title.
"The loss on Tuesday woke the guys up," Baker said. "I really made them get after it in practice the last two days. We focused on offensive and defensive rebounding because we weren't being physical enough."
In his first start of the season, Townsend bruised his way to seven points in the opening quarter and set the tone for what was a hard-fought battle until the end.
"Hurt foot or not, we told him he needed to step up and play," Baker said. "I'm proud of all the guys for working hard and winning another championship. It's never easy."
In the girls' game, Fairmont senior Anasia Evans scored a go-ahead layup with 1:08 remaining then ripped the ball away for a steal in the waning seconds as the Lady Golden Tornadoes held off St. Pauls, 40-38.
Foul trouble dooms Lady Mustangs
LAKE WACCAMAW — South Robeson freshman sensation Aterria Quick hit a mid-range jumper before heading to the bench on the ensuing possession after fouling out in the fourth quarter Friday night at East Columbus.
The Lady Mustangs' transition offense — and a game-high 32 points — went with her.
Foul trouble doomed South Robeson down the stretch as the Lady Mustangs' run toward a Three Rivers Conference title came to an end on the road, 65-56.
"They stayed in the game thanks to all our fouls and took advantage," South Robeson coach Lula Ratley said. "When Aterria fouled out, that hurt us. We didn't go to the line much ourselves, and that hurt us. We gave it a good run, and now we'll regroup for the conference tournament."
Lumberton sweeps rivalry games
PEMBROKE — Lumberton's girls' and boys' basketball teams swept Purnell Swett in the regular-season finales Friday night, taking care of the Rams, 42-24 and 69-55, respectively.
In the boys contest, Demetri Sheridan poured in 21 points and pulled down 11 rebounds for the Pirates while Montrae Strother led the backcourt with 11. Lumberton (9-14, 4-6) will take on Scotland at home in the first round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
"It was your typical back-and-forth rivalry game," Lumberton coach Mackey Register said. "They fought, we fought and it was a really well-played game. We took our first lead with four minutes left and was able to hold it."
Keanna McNeill continued her recent hot-shooting streak in the opening contest and nailed five 3's on her way to a game-high 18 points. In Tuesday's loss to Scotland, McNeill hit six shots from long range.
The Lady Pirates (18-5, 8-2) finished in second place in the SEC and earned a first-round bye in next week's league tournament.

Infrared inspections
Electrical problems are one of the leading causes of fires and losses in buildings. Thermal imaging (infrared thermography) has evolved into one of the most valuable diagnostic tools for predictive electrical maintenance. It increases plant efficiency and maximises safety in many industrial environments. Generally, an infrared camera is utilised to take pictures of the main electrical joints and DB boards in the premises. Images like that below are uncovered during the assessment, and immediately it can be seen where problems with electricity are likely to crop up at a later stage. They can then be resolved before they impact the business.
Etana is the only insurer (with qualified personnel) that carries out these inspections at clients' premises, free of charge. Again, Etana indicates its willingness in bringing value to clients and displays dedication to business insurance and brokers, to ensure clients' sustainability.

You should be able to find other threads regarding living costs. Apart from housing they don't vary that much based on location that they wouldn't be useful, even if they are given for another town. Housing will be clearly the biggest individual expense. That will depend on of course how much space you want to have. Different areas in Espoo also have different prices.

1. A private person has hacked several satellites and sends out illegal signals probably all over the world. The signals make people behave physical different than normal.
People use their hands more to touch their faces, cheeks, chins, mouths and their heads in general.
2. Here are some examples of hand movements which have increased in frequency:
The person on the left on the photo and the person on the right on the photo make these kind of hand movements which have increased because of illegal satellite signals:
The judge in the trial against Saddam Hussein:
For more pictures you can look here:
3. These kinds of hand movements are not necessarily unnatural, but they appear more often now, because of the illegal satellite signals.
It seems to be that people who relax physically, for example Saddam Hussein and the other accused in the Bagdad trial, react more visibly on the satellite signals which lead to more hand movements to the face.
Also for example politicians which sit in parliaments and listen to speeches, seem to react more visibly on the signals which increase the frequency of these mentioned hand movements.
4. One satellite is enough to cover a large parte of the planet with satellite signals. The person who has hacked satellites, can send much more dangerous signals than he does now. By using satellites, he can probably kill a large part of the population on the earth in a few seconds. To have satellites in space is extremely riscy and dangerous.
5. The person which has hacked satellites, probably uses private equipment to reach the satellites directly. Then the companies, which are technical responsible for the satellites, do not observe the hacking.
6. Normal satellite signals are so large that they do not get into the brains of human beings. But the hacker sends very fine small signals which enter inside peoples brains. These signals then hit nerve systems or functions systems in peoples brains. Then the hacker can make human beings behave different than normal.
7. The illegal satellite signals are so fine (high-resolution) that they enter through the brain cranium and metal.
8. If you observe the increase in the mentioned hand movements, you can report it to:
The Swedish government
The Norwegian government
The Spanish government

Samsung Galaxy S III (Verizon)
Phone Scoop Review
Jul 10, 2012 by Eric M. Zeman
Phone Scoop takes Verizon's version of the Samsung Galaxy S III for a spin. Does anything set it apart from the AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile versions? We find out. read review ›
User Reviews
Average Ratings
S3 or the MAXX, that is (was) the question
I needed to upgrade my Droid X and was caught between the S3 and the RAZR MAXX. I had the X for 2 years. It's a great phone, but I thought I'd try a Samsung for a change. Well I went with the S3 and the change was welcomed. It's got new and attractive styling, different ringtones, new OS, and decent-sounding headphones are included in the box! It's also thin and fits the hand well.
However, I got the phone back home and that's when the problems started. My summer apartment is a basement apartment in an area that's already iffy with signal. You either have Verizon or AT&T, or you have no signal most of the time. Anyway the signal strength was low and my calls were getting dropped constantly. One call to my girl turned into 7-8 calls, each with more frustration that the last! Previously calls on the X faded to the point where the person I was speaking to and I could barely hear each other BUT the calls never dropped. I called my girl from work and walked into a known dead zone. The S3 immediately dropped the call. Again, the X would have held on, if only by a thread. To make matters worse, I had a dropped call in a place where there's plenty of signal. I think I may have bumped the power button, which is pretty easy to do on this phone. Why would a phone 2 years newer have less signal strength? I chalk it up to different manufacturers, since my girl's HTC gets 1 bar back home, when my X gets 3-4.
I also had issues with the keyboard. Samsung does not natively support Swype. This might not affect you. I'm definitely a Swyper, though. Not being able to get text into a keyboard fast is bad news. I tried Go keyboard and Swype beta and maybe Go would have been fine after a few weeks. With the signal problems, however, I clearly needed to return the phone and get the MAXX.
Pros: styling, size & weight, voice call quality (Samsung's got this!), camera
"Mehs": battery life, Samsung's UI, power button location
Cons: signal strength, no Swype
I got the MAXX and love it.

Excellent phone/device.
Had the phone for about a month now, love it. It is amazing. The battery is not perfect, but for basically getting the power of a laptop, in your pocket/palm, you have to keep it charged.

Galaxys away
Being a Motorola fanatic and in love with Blur I was ecstatic with my Droid RAZR. My Samsung-obsessed fiance was dead set on the Galaxy S III, for himself and me.I was very hesitant at first, touchwiz & a non-mot. phone?
What could it offer that I didn't have?
-Extremely thin: coming from a Razr I almost require it.
-Beautiful display: Bright & bold for all colors not just the traditional blue/green that previous Samsungs offered.
-AMAZING camera: I was able to take professional quality photos of scenery while riding in a car. even the front facing works wonderfully.
-Video & sound quality: flawless.
-Text keyboard is so accurate, I find myself actually typing out words more than using swype-like programs.
-The motion controls are amazing. So simple to use & such a time saver. I adore the calling motion & screen shot gesture.
-Music player is very impressive. The option to make a playlist based on music mood is an amazing concept. The motion control that allows you to pause the song by simply flipping the phone screen-down is very useful.
-S-Voice is so wonderful. Setting alarms & reminders, pulling the up-to-date weather for my area & so, so much more.
-Good Build feels very sturdy. I love the blue color. The back is easy to remove in case I need to access my batter/sim/sd. Much better than the Galaxy Nexus.
----Major Pros:
-Battery: I have outstanding battery life on my S3. I utilize task.mngr and Application.mngr constantly. I hate being wasteful on battery. I am honestly on my phone constantly. My razr wouldn't last 6 hours set to only CDMA with my usage.My S3 beyond surpasses that. Lasting an entire day & partially through the night with LTE on.
-Very fluid.
-Considering how new the phone is, there are a ton of accessories.
-Touchwiz.my Mot. bias showing :) not really a con
-Occasionally I will receive/send multiple of the same text.
I adore my phone and I cannot wait for the 4.1 update.
This phone is outstanding.

Love and a little hate
Let's go to the good first; the electronics are impossible to fault. Touch sensitivity is great; reception is strong; voice quality is excellent; Internet performance is fast except when you're on an overloaded 3G tower in an area yet to see 4G; GSM/HSPA support is coming; the phone weighs very little and battery life is respectable.
The trouble is that Samsung, Google, and Verizon, have all spoiled some of the implementation, and you'll have to decide whether it's a deal breaker or not.
First, Samsung. The phone is too fragile. The back is as good as a back gets without being non-removable; it's the front that's the problem. The overly large screen is not protected well by the edge of the phone and Samsung ought to consider recessing their glass screens in the bezel to protect against a face-down drop. The glass is further compromised by having the earpiece and the home button protrude through it, rather than having an unbroken sheet of glass by placing the earpiece in the plastic above the screen (like HTC) and having a soft-key for home (like every other Android device).
Second, Samsung and Google. Bugs. Web pages aren't automatically reformatting when you zoom in, a feature we depended on in Android 2. Syncing bugs with the email caused by cache corruption, which I had to research on my own to fix. No way to revert to plain ICS and leave out TouchWiz. You can't just flip through email messages with direction keys like you could in Android 2.0's mail; swiping through them works really poorly, so you're hopping back and forth between the directory and individual messages. Credit where credit's due; Gmail really does work as a push service now in terms of speed.
Third, Verizon bloatware and that ridiculous locked boot loader which makes the phone less customizable and less portable between networks. Stop already!
Correct these problems and you'd have an iPhone 5 killer, never mind the 4s. As it is, people have a tough decision to make.

Too much hype
First of all, I would bet my house that this phone is just way to big for the common folk.
Pro's: excellent call quality, speakerphone is decent, camera is very good in daylight and so so at night with flash, screen is nice to look at in a room.
Cons: keyboard sucks, build quality for me is lousy, browser sucks donkey balls with no text reflow or double tap option, the reader option is horrible compared to the iPhones, the radio is sub par for 4G!
The screen is way to dim for my everyday use even at full brightness.
Summary: staying with my 4S. No need to use an upgrade on this phone. Basically the hype is too much at first but as usual, the more thought out reviews come out after a week or so with a dose of reality.

I am disappointed
I have had this phone about 10 days. There is a big problem about this phone. From time to time, when I tried to make calls from my work area, I would get "Out of Service Area" message and than a "No SIM" message appeared on the top of the screen. Very often, my wife couldn't call in. I had a HTC prior to this phone which didn't have this problem at all.
I think this phone only deserves a 3 stars since it didn't pay attention to the very basic use of mobile phones - making calls and receiving calls. It doesn't matter how many functions that Samsung has put on it. If it cannot make calls and/or receive calls from time to time, it is not a phone.
I spoke to Verizon Technical Support as well as Samsung Technical Support but got nowhere. By the way, I am not alone. There are at least two websites in which people discuss this issue.

Not so great...
I took my daughter shopping for an Iphone. Not surprisingly she fell in love with the Samsung and walked out the door with it. Overall she was quite happy with the phone except for very poor battery life.
Shortly I was due for an upgrade and chose the SIII also based on reviews, my daughters impression of the phone, and my preference for Android.
Today my third phone is on the way via UPS. When it gets here it will go on EBAY immediately.
Phone one, totally my bad. I dropped it within an hour of getting it while setting it up. Cracked screen. Glad I had Insurance. A week or two later and $100 out of pocket new phone arrives. But one big issue. Now that the phone came from Assurion Insurance, not Verizon, I can no longer get customer support from Assurion.
So phone number two has some WIFI issues. The biggest issue is that when you put the phone in airplane mode, it will turn on wifi all by itself! It is quite predictable. Put in airplane mode, turn off bluetooth (airplane mode does not turn off bluetooth), go to settings and ensure all are turned off, then go to bed.
When you wake up in the morning there are notifications of e-mail, and wifi is on in the notification bar! But when you go to settings wifi is turned off!
Call Samsung. Never heard of problem. Call Verizon. Have to talk to Assurion. Talk to Assurion, "never heard of that problem, but we will send you a new phone". Of course if you google the issue you can discover it is a known issue on various message boards.
It does other strange things with WIFI. Turn Wifi off and if you are in a location with a WIFI signal it will repeatedly tell you there is WIFI. Even though it is not a public WIFI and you do not have the rights to log onto the network. And the point is, I turned WIFI off, why is the phone continually checking for WIFI???
My biggest complaint though is that because I went from Verizon to Assurion I have lost the support of Verizon.

Worst Phone I've Ever Used, Nice Screen, Decent Data
I tend to frequent a lot of places with marginal signal. This phone has the worst RF performance of any that I've ever used.
The screen is outstanding and the data is fine. My only problem is I need my smartphone to consistent work as a phone to make and receive voice calls.
I've been a Verizon customer for many years and literally never dropped a call until I got this phone. Now I routinely drop calls, and the display goes to "searching" with the circle and line through it.

I wanted to love this phone, but sticking with iPhone 4 for now
So here goes.
POSITIVE COMMENTS The screen is big and very nice. I thought the phone would be bulky, but it is actually light and still fits in my pants pocket. I think some of google's apps are amazing, and I like the cross integration between apps (Genius Scan + knows I have Evernote installed, etc.).
LTE - fast! I am usually in wifi range most of the day, so having LTE is not necessary, but nice.
Actual phone: Actual voice reception seems pretty good.
NEUTRAL COMMENTS The wifi connection seems weak. The phone keeps asking about wifi networks - I'm assuming they will address that software issue with an update.
NEGATIVE COMMENTS (Please remember these are just my preferences, I like individual aspects of Google, Apple, and Microsoft products).
Battery - I understand this has an LTE chip, but I really don't understand how people want an android phone when it will not really last the entire day.
MS Exchange. Samsung added active sync as an afterthought. The software is buggy. I don't want to pay $20 - $30 for an app that is probably just as buggy as the stock app just to get MS Exchange. Apple's implementation is basic but reliable. The SIII would not load all emails, body text would be missing, etc.
Accessories. For being a flagship phone, there are few accessories. Besides 3.5mm to 3.5mm for audio connections, there are no micro USB to 3.5mm cables to listen to music in my car or on a stereo that doesn't have bluetooth. I can buy a $3 cord on amazon that connects to the pin connector on my iPhone and plugs into audio in connection on my car.
The two biggest issues for me are battery life and MS exchange implementation. I love google products, and I can't understand why samsung isn't serious about battery life with an LTE phone. I hope google really pushes manufacturers to focus on battery life and also tweaks their software to extend battery life.
If you are an iPhone user that uses MS exchange, wait.

Great phone... however, it's going back tomorrow though!
Received the phone late this morning and had 'er up and running soon there after. The call quality, layout, size and functions all work well. Well... maybe almost all work well.
The reason its going back and this was after I spoke with both Verizon and Samsung tech departments is that the browser, and to a lesser extent, the email contrast is approximately 60% of what it should be.
Here you have a Samsung screen, which many know, their screens are some of the best in the business, looking like it was flat and without any clarity.
in the browser setting. While the screen's brightness and contrast are sparkling in most of the other areas of the phone, when you go to the browser, the contrast is dull, muted and under-powered.
Samsung techs initially thought it might have to do with the settings, powering down the browser screen to conserve power. However, we double checked all the screen and power savers and their combinations but this had zero effect on the under powering of the browser screen.
The Samsung techs asked me to take the phone back to the store and compare it to the other phones there. Same deal. All the phones had an under powering screen with low contrast, dull and muted viewing ability.
The techs at the Verizon store said the same thing and they thought there would have to be a software update to 'fix' the dull and muted screen.
Maybe for some, they can live with this type of not-so-clear screen. Me, having the same cell phone number for nineteen years and having been around quality screens, I could not deal with such a weird design flaw.
Anyway, hope you folks have better success than I did. Like I said, the phone has awesome qualities and this was the phone that I was going to upgrade to from my X2. It's a shame, because when I upgrade in the future, I'll lose my unlimited data plan... and this was one of the most important reasons for upgrading, without any reviews on the forums to help me in the decision making.
