"Amazing device as mp3 player, not so good tablet"
4.5 starson by icanrulePros: Comes with Android, Hackable to include whole Android Market, bluetooth is great, feels unbreakable, perfect size, uses standard micro-usb connector
Cons: Touch screen responsive issues, battery could be better (!!!), Camera in a whacky spot., no multi-touch
Summary: The reason I bought this device was because my previous MP3 died on me recently. I needed to find something that had bluetooth on it. This was literally the cheapest mp3 player I could find at the time that supported bluetooth. Little did I know this would come with far more then expected. All I wanted was an MP3 player but this offers far more then expected.
It seems to be very sturdy. It's got a plastic shell on it but I've dropped it a few things and it comes back unscaved. I wouldn't throw at a wall like my buddies like to do with there mp3 players but I think it will last a while. It has a volume up and down and a power button on it. It also has 6 buttons at the bottom, 2 of which are also volume buttons. It's good to have more buttons then less then what i need I guess.
It comes with a 3.5mm earphone jack which I never use. I bought this so that it would sync up with bluetooth earphones. Initially I was unsure how bluetooth would work with this device but it works quite well. Sync's up when it needs too and supports A2DP which is nice so I can control it through my headphones. I've also been more then 20 feet away from the player with my earphones and it works perfecly. My previous headphones would not work after 5 feet. Doesn't really matter but it was noticable and worth mentioning. All the music on it is no less 192kbps and it sounds great through bluetooth.
Transfer rate is extremely quick when transfering files or mp3 songs through USB but no faster then my previous Samung MP3 player. Because of all the space I don't need to interchange my music library nearly as often as my previous 2gb drive.
I haven't had the device run slow or not run a program that I have installed from the store. This includes all apps and games. I have run out of internal space. I'm not sure how that happens with so much space available but clearly it only has so much space available for installing apps. I don't really know how that works.
I have to recharge at least daily but I use it a lot for a lot of different things. I have my bluetooth earphones, and gps connected to it quite often. Not to mention I listen to music for a good 4 hours a day at least. It's understandable why I have to reach it daily.
Touchscreen is a bit finicky. I find myself pushing the screen twice when I could be pushing it once. If your purpose is just to use it as an Mp3 player the problem can easily be ignored but if you want to really play with it then it is a bit annoying to use sometimes.
I can't stress this enough. Having an operating system of any kind like android on an MP3 player is amazing. Don't like the way one plays then install a different one. Unlimited software is available because it's on a real OS. My old mp3 player had samsung widgets. It had 5 widgets I could install all of which were garbage. The Mp3 player never remember my past songs so when I tried to rewind to previous song I got another song. If the same was experienced with this device I would install a different mp3 player.
Wifi works great. I have installed apps to use as an XBMC remote through xbox/appletv, X10 system, and streaming music radio without any hassle. The wifi made me nervous because of all the bad reviews but I haven't come across any issues. The stock browser works well and it's great that it supports flash because of froyo 2.2 being installed.
The one major drawback after buying it is that I wanted so much more afterwards. It would be great if it had a speaker and gps built in. Those are things you don't need with an MP3 player though, but I can dream.
For all the geeks out there I haven't even tried to root the device. You can go to the archos forums to learn how to do it but the procedure is very long. I haven't seen a need to root it except that I have read that you can do a full backup of the system. It would be nice down the line incase something happens to the device to have a full backup. It also doesn't have multi-touch. It may not be major but some apps like pdf viewers require multi-touch to zoom in and because they think you have Froyo installed they don't bother assuming it doesn't have multi-touch.
I have only had the device for 3 weeks but I think it is a huge step up from my previous MP3 player. If you were to use it as a full scale tablet you may not think it's worth it. It's not polished enough for me to use as a full tablet. It's price is nicely priced even for an MP3 player with bluetooth.

This is great. I want to know more about creating this. Can you share?
Thank you! I use Comic Life for all of my tutorials which I've blogged about with links & resources!
Oh my golly, I was trying to communicate a similar idea to a co-worker that was helping create tutorials. I'm so glad I found your examples because I think this is more interesting and appealing. Do you ever have problems with teachers really inexperienced technology (or unfamiliar with the media culture) understanding your comics? I could see that as a potential problem with a few of our participants.
SO cool - thanks for sharing! :)

Siwa is quiet on Friday
... In 1926, there were three consecutive days of rain and wind that destroyed the historic city that had been around for 800 years. It is interesting to note that our hotel was constructed this way too, so I hope it does not rain while we are here!
In Siwa we are 18 metres below sea level and near the water table. So, that is why it is an oasis and they are able to grow many things like dates, olives and palms.
We were able to walk around the site of ...

Egyptians don't quite understand providing an actual service to deserve a tip, but we explained he would get a tip the next morning. Ironically, why he didn't just ask for more for the room and pocket the difference amazed me.

Apart from traffic check points, we stopped once to check out the frame of a WW2 plane, rotting in the desert sun, and to swim in a spring in an oasis, and once more to let Rowie drive for a while.

Next, we saw the ruins of another temple not too far away, and then went on to see some naturally-occurring fresh-water springs. The first was called "Cleopatra" and the second "Fatnas Island."

Adsorbed to a Rigid Substrate, Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine Multibilayers Attain Full Hydration in All Mesophases Biophysical Journal, Volume 75, Issue 5, 1 November 1998, Pages 2157-2162 John Katsaras Abstract Whether hydrated from vapor or immersed in liquid water, aligned multibilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine adsorbed to a single mica "substrate" are shown by neutron diffraction to hydrate in all mesophases (e.g., Lβ′, Pβ′, and Lα) to the same extent as their liposomal counterparts suspended in liquid water. These data clearly demonstrate that the commonly accepted vapor pressure paradox does not exist. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (249 kb) |
Hydration and Lateral Organization in Phospholipid Bilayers Containing Sphingomyelin: A H-NMR Study Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 2, 1 August 2003, Pages 1013-1024 Bernhard Steinbauer, Thomas Mehnert and Klaus Beyer Abstract Interfacial properties of lipid bilayers were studied by 2H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, with emphasis on a comparison between phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. Spectral resolution and sensitivity was improved by macroscopic membrane alignment. The motionally averaged quadrupolar interaction of interlamellar deuterium oxide was employed to probe the interfacial polarity of the membranes. The D2O quadrupolar splittings indicated that the sphingomyelin lipid-water interface is less polar above the phase transition temperature Tm than below Tm. The opposite behavior was found in phosphatidylcholine bilayers. Macroscopically aligned sphingomyelin bilayers also furnished 2H-signals from the amide residue and from the hydroxyl group of the sphingosine moiety. The rate of water-hydroxyl deuteron exchange could be measured, whereas the exchange of the amide deuteron was too slow for the inversion-transfer technique employed, suggesting that the amide residue is involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Order parameter profiles in mixtures of sphingomyelin and chain-perdeuterated phosphatidylcholine revealed an ordering effect as a result of the highly saturated chains of the sphingolipids. The temperature dependence of the 2H quadrupolar splittings was indicative of lateral phase separation in the mixed systems. The results are discussed with regard to interfacial structure and lateral organization in sphingomyelin-containing biomembranes. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (214 kb) |
Temperature Dependence of the Surface Topography in Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/Distearoylphosphatidylcholine Multibilayers Biophysical Journal, Volume 86, Issue 4, 1 April 2004, Pages 2218-2230 Marie-Cécile Giocondi and Christian Le Grimellec Abstract Simple lipid binary systems are intensively used to understand the formation of domains in biological membranes. The size of individual domains present in the gel/fluid coexistence region of single supported bilayers, determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM), generally exceeds by two to three orders of magnitude that estimated from multibilayers membranes by indirect spectroscopic methods. In this article, the topography of equimolar dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC/DSPC) multibilayers, made of two superimposed bilayers supported on mica surface, was studied by AFM in a temperature range from room temperature to 45°C. In the gel/fluid phase coexistence region the size of domains, between ∼100nm and a few micrometers, was of the same order for the first bilayer facing the mica and the top bilayer facing the buffer. The gel to fluid phase separation temperature of the first bilayer, however, could be increased by up to 8°C, most likely as a function of the buffer layer thickness that separated it from the mica. Topography of the top bilayer revealed the presence of lipids in ripple phase up to 38–40°C. Above this temperature, a pattern characteristic of the coexistence of fluid and gel domains was observed. These data show that difference in the size of lipid domains given by AFM and spectroscopy can hardly be attributed to the use of multibilayers models in spectroscopy experiments. They also provide a direct evidence for metastable ripple phase transformation into a gel/fluid phase separated structure upon heating. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1554 kb) |

Division of Biological Sciences, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario.
Two-dimensional solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy of specifically deuteriated lipids is used to detect and to characterize the rate and mode of slow motions in two lipid bilayer systems. Lateral diffusion of lipid molecules over the curved surface of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes can be detected by two-dimensional exchange 2H NMR and it is shown that molecular orientational exchange is complete on the timescale of 100 ms. In contrast, it is shown that for the glycolipid 1,2-di-O-tetradecyl-3-O-Beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (beta-DTGL), there is no evidence of a corresponding orientational exchange in the liquid-crystalline phase suggesting that this lipid forms relatively flat bilayers. In the gel phase of hydrated multibilayers of beta-DTGL, a slow (10(3) s(-1)) whole molecule axial motion is demonstrated at 40 degrees C. Comparison of the experimental and simulated 2D-NMR ridge patterns suggests that large angle jumps about the long molecular axis, rather than small step Brownian diffusion, can best account for the 2D-exchange spectra of beta-DTGL in the gel phase. The significance of this technique for the study of dynamics in other biological systems is discussed.

When I am in Buffalo, I should eat......
We are flying into Buffalo next Wed around 10 am and driving to Toronto. What should we eat for lunch that is uniquely Buffalo?
So far the options are:
Buffalo wings (duh) but where?
Beef on a wreck- what is it and where should I get it?
If Buffalo cuisine is suppose to be all about the comfort food, I am ready to be comforted.
Great stuff so far on this list, but I would find a a way to find Buffalo Pizza a la Bocce club (or a spinoff like Milano's on Englewood). there is a bocce on bailey near eggert that is not far off the line on the google map posted. there is much debate about buffalo pizza. This version is a sweetish sauce thick dough, square pies, no crust and a pleasent mix of scattered cheeses.
Other "Buffalo Food" contenders: Louies is a viable alternative to Ted's . I am old old school, --- enjoyed Pat's until they closed in 1983, but Ted's is still great. A forgotten Buffalo speciality is Fish Fry, not unique per se, but a key part of the culture. There are tons of local places that feature all of the these. i LIke the Buffalo Tap Room..
re: septocaine_queen
Sounds suspiciously like you know your way around town! OPH has three locations: [a] 5479 Main St., Williamsville. 634-5515; 2075 Niagara Falls Blvd., Amherst. 691-8219and 3019 Union Rd., Orchard Park. 674-3344.
Skip the pretenders and go for the real thing at BarBills - you won't be disappointed!
I went to U Buffalo in the late eighties but I believe these places still exist. All are lowbrow yet I crave them every day. Mike's Big Mouth on Hertel Ave. has steak tacos to die for. Sloppy but good fast food is Mighty Taco beef and cheese burrito. Anderson's Custard for roast beef and cheese on a weck roll. Not traditional beef on a weck but delicious in it's own way. And you have to go to Duff's (Sheridan Drive in Amherst) for wings no matter what anyone says on this board.
This website is great: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/restaurant.... You can search by "cuisine" on the left-hand side and it has both "Beef on Weck" and "Chicken Wings". I can't give an opinion on beef on weck (though of the places mentioned, Bar Bill gets the best reviews.) For wings, Duff's is good, but I like Brennan's best. It is quite close to the airport and has wonderful, juicy wings (4401 Transit Rd, Williamsville - inside the plaza with Barnes & Noble). That's definitely my recommendation!! Brennan's has pretty solid pub fare as well.
You COULD do a "best of Buffalo" food tour in a relatively straight line between the airport and the bridge to Canada, if you were so inclined. :.)
re: septocaine_queen
A hot roast beef sandwich served no a Kimmelweck roll. A Kimmelweck roll is a Kaiser roll where the top crust has very coarse kosher salt and caraway seeds on it. Which generally brings a lot of "so what's the big deal" from non-Buffalonians, but like with chicken wings, it is a "Eureka" combination of flavors. The roast beef should be freshly carved, not soaking in jus like a French Dip or Italian Beef sandwich. And you should order it with horseradish (my go to order is ketchup and horseradish).
I presume you are renting a car at the airport. I would think that you will drive over the Peace Bridge. With a slight detour, you can sample a great Beef on Weck at Schwabls (789 Center Rd. (on Rt. 16, near Union Rd.), W. Seneca.716 674-9821. At least they use good Weck rolls - Sorry Charlie!! (They don't use the real thing).
If you don't mind a quick trip down the 4000 to East Aurora, you can get the best of all worlds by going to BarBill (185 Main St., E. Aurora.716 652-7959 - the best wings AND Beef on Weck (IMHO) in the area.
Anchor Bar is a tourist trap. Yeah, they know how to do wings but don't very often. -
Roast beef on weck--Charlie the Butcher's Kitchen www.charliethebutcher.com
Red hots--Ted's www.tedsonline.com
Wings Anchor Bar www.anchorbar.com
Both with the red hots and wings, you will have differing opinions as to whose is the best. You can't go wrong going to one of these places. Was Anchor bar better years ago, yes, but so were many other things and they're still up there. Have a good trip. By the way, there used to be a tavern called Bar One that had a great sandwich "the bar one", don't know if it still exists, but worth it to look it up.

The Pope orders DMs!
The footwear company Dr Martens recently received an order from the Vatican for four pairs of shoes from the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II. The Pope had heard about the shoes from the spiritual leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama, who had praised the comfort of the shoes. The company decided to give away the shoes to the Vatican, and, with a thank you note the Pope later sent, a huge order for boots for the Vatican's security men was enclosed.

Fujitsu paraded an Android-powered GPS navigation system recently that worked on the network cloud service for map data and route computation, letting Android handle only the data transfer segment. Nothing to worry about considering that was in Japan, so the lack of speed should be a non-issue. This GPS navigation device is known as the Armadillo, being a terminal by itself with a decent GUI. Nice to know it won't curl up into a ball whenever you get a tongue lashing from your other half for not listening to her internal GPS system, instead relying on the Armadillo's directions.

Nigeria's Boko Haram Says More Violence Coming as 100 Already Killed
ICC Note
"We are winning this war against the infidels and we will not stop until we have our goal of an Islamic state."
By David Eto
06/21/2012 Nigeria (Bikymasr)-As over 100 people reportedly have been killed in the latest sectarian violence in Nigeria, a Boko Haram spokesman has told Bikyamasr.com that the militant group wants to "push for more" in a reference to continued violence and upheaval in the country.
"We are winning this war against the infidels and we will not stop until we have our goal of an Islamic state," the spokesman told Bikyamasr.com via telephone on Thursday.
It came after violence on Wednesday erupted again in Nigeria's north, bringing the total number of those killed in Christian-Muslim violence to around 100.
The suicide bombings killed at least 21 people and sparked reprisal attacks by Christians against Muslims that reportedly killed another 52 people in Kaduna.
"This is the cost of war and these martyrs gave their life for Islam and the belief in a better future for Nigeria," the spokesman continued
On Monday, suspected Boko Haram militants attacked police and security targets in Damaturu. Shootouts between militants and security forces continued into Tuesday and left at least 40 people dead.
Boko Haram has fomented violence in the country over the past few years, but more recently, the ultra-conservative Islamic group has increased their attacks on civilians after negotiations with the government ended with no positive result last year.

This morning I came across this gorgeous and heavily distressed French sideboard. I see a lot of furniture makeovers, but the use of the chalk paint combined with the beautiful fabric on this piece really caught my eye. I'm all about uniqueness, beauty and creativity, and Kim from Savvy Southern Style really captured all three here. See Kim's Distressed French Sideboard Makeover here.

DDGS Exports [Chart]
The top ten markets by country, year
The chart shows the importance of the top ten markets, which account for all but about 1 mmt of total U.S. exports. Mexico and Canada started out as the top two markets, but were challenged by China in 2010 and 2011 in spite of the anti-dumping investigation in China in 2011. The year-to-date exports show that total DDGS exports are tracking at a higher pace than 2011, but that growth is driven by China, recovering its imports from last year with the uncertainty of the antidumping case behind us. Interestingly, even in 2011 China was the number 2 market.
Even without China, U.S. DDGS exports in 2011 declined from 2010 by about 230,000 mt, and the pace in 2012 is down about 500,000 mt from 2011 year-to-date. This reflects high prices, increased U.S. domestic DDGS use, and the tapering off of U.S. ethanol production growth.

Gualala house description
From our "Gualala Point View" house here's what you'll see: White water views with waves breaking on Gualala Point. Flights of Pelicans and Seagulls gliding by at eye level. The Gualala River flowing into the Pacific Ocean. An occasional fishing boat, and — in season — you'll see whales as they make their eternal migration up or down the coast.
What you won't see: traffic, malls, and parking lots.
What you'll hear: the waves crashing to shore creating their own rhythmic and restful soundtrack to your relaxing visit.
What you'll smell: The salt sea air.
What you'll feel: Relaxation and renewal.
Park your car and forget it. "Gualala Point View" is conveniently located within easy walk to shops, restaurants and grocery stores, and situated on a quiet bluff overlooking where the River meets the Sea.
There are 3 bedrooms, plus a media room, an expansive living room with fireplace insert and a fantastic open kitchen. Both bathrooms have just been beautifully re-tiled and updated. We offer a hot tub and new propane BBQ on the ocean-view deck.
R&R in a unique setting. The ocean-side deck and yard are your front-row seat for a kaleidescope of wildlife. We've noted raccoons, deer, rabbits, a large variety of birds, plus whales, porpoise and rarer sightings of orca! Join us, and create lasting memories. We're excited to share!

- Twice each year we have hundreds of whales passing by. The migration is from November through May. The best time to see a whale from GPV house is in March, but they can be spotted almost any time of year. Grey whales migrate south in the fall to the warmer breeding grounds near Baja California, and then head north in early spring to the feeding grounds off Alaska. Most will appear only as puffs of steam in the blue sea, but grab a pair of binoculars and you'll be amazed. Some will even come in close to the Gualala River Estuary. Additionally, some individual Grays are seen during the summer months off the northern California coast. Gray whales produce a distinctive V-shaped blow, and usually blow several times, at short intervals, before diving for 3-5 minutes. ...moreless

My husband & I recently stayed in this wonderful house. It far surpassed our expectations. The house is comfortable with all the amenities you could need or want. The location is perfect - you don't even need to leave the property to enjoy the scenery since you are overlooking the ocean. One morning we saw two whales playing in the water about twenty feet off of the beach. If you are in to bird watching, just take a seat in the hot tub or in a comfy chair and see all kinds of birds. If you want to hike, there are many nearby trails. We did not eat out since we enjoyed using the well appointed kitchen, but, if you do like to eat out, there are several choices of restaurants within walking distance. The owners have graciously prepared a manual with instructions for things in the house; suggestions for activities; really, just about anything you would want to know about the area. This is a great property and we definitely recommend it!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

We had such a beautiful time at Anne and John's home. Everything about the experience was enjoyable. From the gorgeous views, to the clean sweet smelling sea air you can't go wrong with this fun rental. Perfectly located in every way, such that you'll enjoy the sun, sights and the sea without any hassle and right outside your door. The back deck is situated so you're protected from any wind which is great! It's a close walk to local restaurants, shops, and grocery. Just a minute drive to the closest beach, and a few minutes more to many other beaches and great places to explore. The home is well appointed and cared for, it's obvious the owners aim to please their guests. Enjoy your morning coffee outside on the deck to watch local wildlife, or sit inside by the window and soak in the rays of sunshine like a cat. Whether you're inside your out, you'll be comfortable, relaxed and rejuvenated by your stay here. Some of the highlights of our stay were: - Whale sightings everyday - one day we saw three at once! - Long walks on the beach - Playing games with friends by the fireplace at night - Soaking in the hot tub under the stars - Having a cozy and inviting place to spend time with family and friends.... You won't be disappointed with this rental, we can't wait to go back to beautiful Gualala. Thank you!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this very well- appointed, comfortable, and attractive home in the center of the town of Gualala. The website pictures are lovely, but the home is even better than pictures. Everything is clean and well-maintained. We could immediately enjoy the home and its surroundings. There is something for everyone: peaceful sounds of the ocean, great views, open kitchen, hot tub, bbq. lounging/reading/tv areas, easy access to shops and walking trails. We loved sitting on the sheltered deck relaxing - watching the sunset with wine in hand. There are plenty of chairs for inside and out. Earlier in the day pelicans were flying over the ocean, and the sun warmed us on our walk along the beach. Access to the beach is a very short drive south over the bridge.The local two markets, both within walking distance 5 minutes south of the house, were well stocked with produce, meats/fish, wines and cheeses. A great coffee shop, restaurants, boutique shops, and galleries are on that route as well. A fun side trip (about 1/2 hour drive) is to travel north to the lighthouse at Point Arena - great tour and gift shop, charming small town, good pharmacy. Clam chowder at the restaurant/bar in the marina nearby is yummy. This is the perfect place for a long weekend or extended stay. Much to do - or not. Be active or sedentary. You will love it!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Manager response: Nicole, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words about GPV House. You put your finger on some of the things we love most about the house and the area. We certainly welcome you back any time. Best Regards, John and Anne

First off, the photos make the house look nice, but they do not do it justice! We were a group of 8 and there was plenty of space for everyone, especially hanging out in the kitchen while cooking and eating, playing games around the coffee table by the fire, and out on the deck and lawn. The house is literally a block from a great and authentic BBQ restaurant, as well as a great pizza place, an amazing market with everything you could want (fresh produce, great meat department, etc) and little shops. There is also a winery about 15 minutes away for wine tasting. We also had a great time taking walks and hikes, going down to the beach, and watching the sunset on the coast. We saw whales multiple times a day from the back deck, and a lot of other wildlife too. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking and baking tools, pots, pans, cooking spices, etc. The house is well stocked with nice towels and bedding, and each bedroom has its own individual heater for those chilly nights. And the beds were all comfortable too! We couldn't have asked to stay in a better place. I highly recommend and can't wait to go back! Thank you for a great and memorable weekend!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Manager response: Dear Mel L., Wow. We are thrilled to see your excellent review of GPV House. We hope you and all of your family and friends feel you are welcome there for many years to come. Best, John & Anne - Owners of GPV House

I can't think of anything that would have made our stay more enjoyable. The information and photos displayed on VRBO are spot on.The spacious house is well appointed with all of the comforts of home and everything's in fine condition. The incomparably beautiful cliffside location offers privacy and quiet. It's quite apparent that the property owner has given thought and care to this property. There are fun restaurants within walking distance and state parks that are close by. We had a great time and I highly recommend this to anyone thinking about coming to this area. You will not be disappointed.Recommended for: Pet owners, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Manager response: Dear Gary, We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at GPV House and we thank you for the fine review. I see you had a chance to visit the village of Gualala. One of the reasons we enjoy this area so much is having the town handy. We hope you will feel welcome there any time. Best Regards, John & Anne -- GPV

Manager info
Year Purchased: 2012
About: We are native San Franciscans who still primarily reside in the City. But when busy schedules allow for a bit of rest and relaxation, we head north to our GPV home.
Why Gualala:
We've been annual visitors to Gualala and the 'Mendonoma' coast since the early 1980s. Having rented homes up and down the area we came to know exactly where the area's weather sweet spot was located. When this lovely 1950s mid-century home (formerly owned by a well-known architect) came on the market we had to make it our home-away-from-home.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The breathtaking views from the deck, living room and spa tub never fail to work their magic. Coming to GPV house is like entering another world where nature at her best is front and center. The cares of the work-day world fall into perspective and a certain enjoyment of nature seeps in to replace them — sometimes in as quickly as the time it takes to unlock the front door. Easy walking to stores, coffee shop, groceries and restaurants mean that you can park the car and forget about it till it's time to go home.

Ultimately, LG's flagship may not have toppled Samsung's Galaxy S III and HTC's One X from the quad-core throne, but it's definitely made it to the royal court.
Read the full review →conclusion:We like it
The Optimus 4X HD is a full-featured smartphone with a fast processor, Android 4.0, and a super-sharp 4.7-inch, 1280x720 display. It also boasts a good 8-megapixel camera, though other recent smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S III, have better ones. While the 4X HD is a very good phone, its appeal may be limited for U.S. customers, since it's currently only available as an unlocked model, for about $600. Unlocked versions of gdgt Must-have phones like the Galaxy S III and HTC One X are available for the same or less, and both models are also available on-contract for significantly less.
Critic reviews
sort by
The bottom line: With its lightning-quick CPU, newest Android version, great touch screen, and NFC chip, the LG Optimus 4X HD is firing on all cylinders.
Read the full review →The LG Optimus 4X HD is a very powerful phone, but the software and camera are lacking.
Read the full review →For everyday tasks, we've enjoyed the speed and power that comes with the hardware and up-to-date software that LG has in its flagship handset ... in a line-up with big name rivals, LG just doesn't quite have wow factor offered by Samsung or HTC.
Read the full review →The LG Optimus 4X HD is undoubtedly the best Android smartphone that the company has produced to date. It covers the geeky ground with a quad-core Tegra 3 chip, large and vivid HD display and the latest Android 4.0 out of the box.
Read the full review →We do like it a lot. But we'll save the bunting for the next LG offering which we hope sets the bar, rather than joins it.
Read the full review →In short there's an awful lot here to like. However, it's still far from perfect as its camera software needs work to improve the autofocus and it's battery life lags behind it's main rivals.
Read the full review →The LG Optimus 4X HD is a wonderful, powerful phone for an appropriate price, however we can't recommend it over devices like the One X or Galaxy S3.
Read the full review →I like the Optimus 4X HD. Really, I do. It's a good phone, albeit one with problems. Is it the best Android smartphone on the market? No. But it's a damn good phone regardless, and that's not an easy place to get to. Many of its problems will, hopefully, be fixed with software updates.
Read the full review →So while the Optimus 4X HD isn't the best looking kid on the block, it certainly turns out to be one of the more brainy and personable kids. That's more than good enough for me to highly recommend the device to those looking for a powerhouse smartphone with a massive display and modern capabilities.
Read the full review →It's light-weight, high-powered, has a big enough battery to get you through your day, and runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. This isn't a low-end or budget phone, and the price-tag reflects that.
Read the full review →For the past few weeks, this phone satisfies my most needs. Internet is superb. Videos are good, but doesn't sound great. Design is also better than most.. try to check this one out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jufmgrc69qs Definitely, you should try this one if you feel it's so common to have...
Read the full review →It looks ugly. Built with poor quality plastic materials. No imagination or innovation on design. Poor design: you could easily tap the 'home' key while you intended to type the 'space' button while typing. It is an overall awful experience.

Hot answers tagged money
Bribery is a bad thing
The problem with bribing them to do things is that it establishes pattern of rewarding good behaviour with money/treats/snacks. As soon as the child is old enough to realize it, they'll refuse to do anything unless it is rewarded somehow. This situation is incredibly hard to break, so it's best not to get there in the first place.
This is an understandable concern, and it's no secret that kids do cost money no matter how you put it. The easy answer is that lots of people have had lots of kids before us, and they managed to get by. It's a question of how you choose to spend your limited resources.
I think few are lucky enough to not have to think about what stuff costs. As for the ...
Cloth diapering can be much more cost efficient than using disposables - including the cost of washing.
There are many types of modern cloth diapers, and the cost of diapering largely depends on the type of diaper chosen, as well as the brand of that diaper. Most types are sold with an organic option, which will also raise the price of the diaper.
There are two possible extremes here--demanding rent as soon as they turn 18 years old, or allowing them to stay for free indefinitely regardless of their social, educational, or vocational status. I assume most of us will agree that the best answer is somewhere between these extremes, but determining exactly where isn't easy. And because family and ...
I always tell my kids that I will do my best to take care of them, including using my money to that purpose. They don't need to worry about that.
We started giving an allowance to my oldest at age 7, and we increase it every year on his birthday. This money is really for him to learn with, not because he needs to buy things.
At first, he didn't know how ...
Transactions don't have to use real money. An alternative to real money is to use some sort of tokens (this is often called the "token system") - poker chips work well for this (they have denominations, are colourful, cheap, and look roughly like coins), but you can use anything really.
Advantages over real money are that you control the price of rewards, ...
Punishment, threats, bribes, and rewards are two, err, four sides of the same coin.
Our grandparents knew what to do. When a child misbehaved, you beat them. When a child made a mistake, you beat them. If you want a child to remember something important, you beat them. If you were too nice to a child, gave them praise, or gave too many gifts, you would ...
I feel that all adults living in the household need to actively contribute to the maintenance of the household.
This does not necessarily need to be financial, although that is the simplest and most obvious. It could instead include things like taking on more of the cleaning, cooking, and general household maintenance. It may include driving elderly ...
Depending on their age, you may be able to use this to teach them about finances.
Not everyone is paid the same.
Not everyone has the same expenses.
Also, you might give them an opportunity to earn a little more:
Small payments for special housework (they still have chores that don't count here)
Other jobs (selling candy/soda/etc. at a garage sale; odd ...
Time to buy a money box/'piggy bank'
We bought our son a Thomas the Tank Engine money box and we often randomly give him the small change from local shopping trips. He enjoys putting the coins into his money box and pretending to count the money occassionally.
Now, when we go shopping and he latches onto something he likes the look of, we simply ask "okay, ...
Assuming that you are not spending beyond your means, I'd be inclined to bluntly explain how you can afford the things you do (e.g. putting away a little each paycheck to save up for big purchases, budgeting your income with certain portions earmarked for the types of purchases she comments on, simply making enough above your regular expenses to be able to ...
If the babysitter does it routinely, as a job, I would ask them first what their rate was. From there you can possibly negotiate if you feel there is room for it - your situation is less demanding than the norm may be, or there is some other perk for the sitter.
You may encounter sitters like I have though - they do it routinely, but have no fixed rate. ...
I suggest a simple habit. Never buy toys on impulse; no matter how difficult the merchandizers make it for us. (Toys in the check out lane, really?)
Each time explain that the child can think about getting the toy and give reasons on the following day. Let them know that if you approve of the reasons, on the next trip to the store you will get the toy if ...
Having kids has been a fairly expensive endeavor for my family. We have two kids - a 2 year old and an 8 month old.
Our biggest 'expense' has been a loss of income (of the mother). Although I am not a stay at home mother, time taken off for maternity leave, taking care of a newborn, etc. adds up. Between the two kids, we "lost" about 16 months of income. ...
Bribery (incentives, payment for performance, rewards for obedience) destroys intrinsic motivation in children (and adults). It can gain temporary cooperation, but it fails in the long run as your child will ultimately expect some incentive to do anything. To become dependent on external motivations is an awful psychological result that you certainly do ...
We are starting by using poker chips with our 4 year old. We reward him for doing well at preschool or finishing some homework. To watch TV, he has to pay 1 chip/half hour. He can also cash them on on a toy at the rate of $2/chip. 5 white chips get traded in for a red chip so this helps with learning addition.
He is learning about currency, how it ...
We washed our own cloth diapers with our first child, and only used disposable on trips. With our second, we did mostly cloth for the first year of her life, then mostly disposable for the second. We actually bought a front-loading washer, and it paid for itself in water and electricity bills within a few years.
In my experience, cloth diapers are quite a ...
Disclaimer: I'm a future parent myself; but my wife is a part-time nanny for 4 different families (like 7 or 8 kids total), and I hear about this all the time.
She tends to bribe the kids with privileges (it wouldn't make sense to give them money, you know, since it is her job). Lately, she says the kids have begun turning it around on her and are now ...
When we were newlyweds, my wife also had trouble spending savings. Her parents had drummed into her over and over the importance of saving, but never taught her when it was okay to spend or not. I think that's because they are somewhat impulsive spenders themselves, and feel guilty themselves, so they project that onto their children.
What we did was ...
Your mother-in-law is crossing boundaries. The best way to establish boundaries is to answer with few words (your script) and try not to veer from them. Try a genuine "Thanks for the input, Mom" or "Thanks for worrying about us" or just a "Hmmmm." This acknowledges that she is trying to be helpful without defending your position or assigning any value to her ...
It is never too late to teach your kid where money comes from and what it is worth. Since he is a student, his opportunities to earn will be somewhat restricted. Here is what I would do
I would tell him that I don't want to have to evaluate individual requests like "Can I have a car?" or "Can I have $100 to go out for the evening?" Instead I want to ...
It sounds like you have set clear, realistic expectations up front, which would mean you're dealing with rewards and penalties and not bribery. However, if you're bribing her in the middle of an argument, she can easily perceive that as rewarding her bad behavior which encourages her to start the argument again night after night.
Rewarding good behavior is ...
In addition to the answers already given, I would also point out those who are not as fortunate as you or the richer families.
Depending on the age of your child, it may be a good time to discuss community service. Take your child to a food bank or get involved in other activities where your child can experience both sides of the coin.
There's a couple things I want to touch on here, so it's sectioned up for quick browsing. Pick the parts you want to read, ignore the ones you don't. :-)
Day Care is Expensive and Working is Hard
If both you and your wife want to work after the baby is born, day care is expensive. It's really expensive if you have more than 1 child. If you have family ...
This, unfortunately, appears to be completely normal. Every generation seems to do just the same.
I think it is incredibly valuable to teach kids the value of saving money and not squandering it on worthless purchases, but it is very difficult.
One technique we use to encourage saving is to agree to top up a percentage of the amount saved when our kids ...
Whether it causes resentment or not depends on how much say the child has in the matter. Kids often borrow their older sibling's clothing on their own. A lot of handing down happens even without parental intervention, as one child starts to grow out of something, they are more and more willing to lend it to their younger sibling, until it ends up de facto ...
"I'm so sorry to have to ask this, but we don't have enough money to live on. Can you help us out financially?"
If this is embarrassing, chalk it up as the price to be paid for not having raised the kids to be able to talk about finances in a straightforward manner. Just as with sex, finances are a topic that you MUST educate your kids about as they are ...
Better for your wallet: the convertible.
Better for your infant's spine: the infant seat.
The Austrian automobile club recommends to use infant seats for infants and not convertibles and my wife who is a trained physio therapist explains why: infants' spines are not fully developed, which means that infants should never sit or even recline until they are ...
I agree that it's typical of many young girls. The approach in our house is that the kids must put 20% of the money they receive in a bank account, and they're allowed to use the rest however they want.
One option would be to suggest to your mother that she gives your sister an allowance each week (which could be increased with chores), and to request that ...
I am a parent who employs a nanny for child caregiving purposes. I believe we pay our nanny a fair market wage, but if she wanted a raise I would want her to ask for a time to sit down with my husband and I (her joint employers) in person other than a time she was scheduled to work. I would want her to have a reasoned explanation why she deserved a raise. ...

Alfred Lord Tennyson (6 August 1809 – 6 October 1892 / Lincoln / England)
Poems by Alfred Lord Tennyson : 128 / 180
The Deserted House
Life and Thought have gone away
Side by side,
Leaving door and windows wide.
Careless tenants they!
All within is dark as night:
In the windows is no light;
And no murmur at the door,
So frequent on its hinge before.
Close the door; the shutters close;
Or through the windows we shall see
The nakedness and vacancy
Of the dark deserted house.
Come away: no more of mirth
Is here or merry-making sound.
The house was builded of the earth,
And shall fall again to ground.
Come away: for Life and Thought
Here no longer dwell;
But in a city glorious -
A great and distant city -have bought
A mansion incorruptible.
Would they could have stayed with us!
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Three Types of Premenstrual Disorders
For the many euphemisms it is given, menstruation can be a cause of monthly dread and discomfort for many women. A woman's cycle can be not only inconvenient but also preceded by uncomfortable premenstrual symptoms like mood swings, cramps, bloating and fatigue. While many premenstrual symptoms can be managed with at-home or over-the-counter remedies, some women may suffer from premenstrual disorders that require the medical attention of an ob-gyn.
- Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): PMS is a broad description of the physical, emotional and behavior changes that can occur before menstruation. While the type and severity of symptoms experienced will vary between women, common symptoms of PMS include cramps, bloating, fatigue, irritability and breast tenderness.
- Dysmenorrhea: Also known as menstrual cramps, dysmenorrhea presents itself as dull and painful sensations in the lower abdomen right before, and often during, menstruation. This cramping is caused by the contraction of the uterus as it expels the uterine lining. Severe cramps may be treatable with pain medication or hormonal birth control methods, which can reduce the frequency and severity of cramps. Cramps caused by an underlying condition like endometriosis can be remedied with surgery.
- Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): Caused by hormonal changes, PMDD, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder, is a severe form of PMS that can cause women to feel severely depressed, irritable and tense in the days preceding menstruation. Symptoms of PMDD often mimic major depressive disorder and include binge eating, difficulty concentrating and panic attacks. In addition to a healthy lifestyle, medications and mood-stabilizing drugs may help to treat PMDD.
For more information about premenstrual disorders, please contact WIH. At Women's Integrated Healthcare, we combine the latest in technology in obstetrics and gynecology with compassionate care to provide for patients throughout the Grapevine, Keller and Alliance areas. For more information about the ob-gyn services and care we provide, please visit us online or call us today at (888) 870-5671.
Our patients come to us from around the DFW metroplex, including Grapevine, Keller, Alliance, Southlake, Highland Village, Lewisville, Irving, HEB, Arlington, Grand Prairie and the surrounding areas.

Is Peggy Carter Getting Her Own Short Film?
While it's still unclear as to how Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter character will fit into the upcoming Captain America sequel, a part that is still a rumor at this point, it is still fairly likely that she will show up in some fashion. Another rumor that has been floating around for some time, specifically since the short film Item 42 made its appearance, is that more short films from Marvel were in the works. That talk has simmered down in recent months, but with the news that Peggy Carter is the center of a new short to be shown at this year's SDCC, you can expect more rumors to come about.
While chatting with The Age (via BleedingCool), Atwell remained secretive about her involvement in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, as can be expected. However, she did drop this little bomb in regards to the aforementioned short film.
There's been an online campaign for Peggy to be featured. People really liked her. So Marvel have made sure that as part of Comicon there will be a little kind of snapshot as to what Peggy's actually really capable of, which was finished here and which was great fun. Hopefully, it will lead to other things.
Pretty straightforward news there. Obviously, Marvel hasn't said as much as a peep in regards to this news and I don't really expect them to, unless it's to vehemently deny it only for it to actually happen in a few months. A film like this would be a great tie-in to the upcoming The Winter Soldier film and could also be a filler story in regards to what happened with Peggy after Cap went down in the plain crash, leading up to present times. Total and complete speculation there, but it makes sense…kinda. We';; be sure to keep you updated as more news comes along on this front.
Meanwhile, filming on Captain America: The Winter Soldier began filming not long ago and is set for a release next summer. Would you watch a Peggy Carter movie, even if it is a short?

America's Leading Gay News Source
Feedback: October 21
The following was submitted as a letter to the editor. Visit washingtonblade.com to join the discussion.
Your front page salute (Oct. 14) to the passing of gay rights advocate Frank Kameny brought tears to my eyes and I plan to frame it and place it in a prominent place in my home.
I wonder how Kameny would have reacted to the news that Ann Coulter, the darling of the conservative right wing of the Republican Party, is going to appear in an upcoming episode of Logo's "A-List: Dallas." She will be joining GOProud executive director Jimmy LaSalvia in the episode.
I've never heard of GOProud but am guessing that it is similar to the Log Cabin group, which is comprised of conservative Republican gay men. Speaking only for myself (although I would like to think that Kameny would side with me), I have nothing but disdain for gay men and women who vote for Republican candidates in state and national elections but profess to be strong advocates of equal rights for all minority groups in this country.
They couldn't care less about issues that impact on the clear majority of people who are just getting by financially, most likely living from paycheck to paycheck if indeed they are fortunate to have jobs.
I am not suggesting blind allegiance to one political party, although I am ready to commit to the "99 percent"/anti-Wall Street" movement and offer my services to advance its cause in any way I can. Not one of the Republican candidates for president has articulated any stance or belief that I would subscribe to and support.
I must admit to an aversion to Logo's "A-List" series. I have tried to get through an entire 30-minute episode in the current "New York" series but haven't been able to do so because I find the gay men on the show to be unbelievably narcissistic and self-absorbed, not to mention inarticulate and shallow twits. Come to think of it, Coulter and the "A-List: Dallas" queers probably deserve each other. —Bob Litman, Washington

Bob, you're a liberal left loon, not unlike many other people, gay and straight. I'm gay and a proud Republican who has never voted for a Democrat. I could comment on your mini-piece for hours but I'm not interested in failing to attempt to change your outlook. But I will say this: one reason you deplore Republicans is because they "…couldn't care less about issues that impact on the clear majority of people who are just getting by financially, most likely living from paycheck to paycheck if indeed they are fortunate to have jobs…" Think about it Bob. Was this country built by people standing in line waiting for a presumed entitlement to a government handout/public assistance? The answer is a resounding no. And that's part of the reason why we have such a horrible economic situation in this country, and in the world. Anyone's view that s/he is entitled to public assistance is dead wrong. If you can't make it in a free economy then I feel sorry for you. But why should I and my next door neighbor and everyone else foot the bill for what are likely bad personal decisions and choices on the part of other people? The government owes nothing to the citizens, except national defense and protection of our rights. Read the Constitution – I suspect it might be the first time you picked it up.
This country was founded "For the People" according to the Constitution, not for Corporations, or for Tax-Exempt Mega Churches who control Legislation with cash.
I concur wholeheartedly with Bob's Letter – Any LGBT person voting for any Repbulican is a self-defeating fool.
BTW – Here is a fine example of Republican Legislation in action right here in Box Turtle Bulletin:
"N.H. House to vote on marriage repeal in 2012″ Taking your Rights away.

KpopCharts Update: Baddest Wolf Love
275 COMMENTSCL "The Baddest Female" – Vote for it Here!
Well this is quite a dilly of a pickle we're in. We have CL and EXO making their debut/comeback all in the same time period and we want to talk about both videos. Hrm. What to do what to do?!! Well let's start by looking at CL. I wasn't sure what to expect from her solo song. Would it be rap or pop or R&B? But then I felt like from the teaser pictures she was going the rap route…even though she totally stole my hairstyle. The hairstyle stealing wasn't what hinted it to me. The decked out hiphop crew gave it away. So many bandanas and face masks. I remember when my high school banded anyone from wearing bandanas because there were too many gang related problems happening. Doesn't seem to be a problem in Korea. Unless you meet that b-boy gang in the park that will breakdance you to death. Or the notorious Gangnam gang who will give you cut eye for having a more expensive bag. And the EYK Crew is notorious for their amazing street dancing skills. Yes, lots of scary gangs all well dressed and wearing matching outfits roaming around Korea. But seriously, it seems the YG family is returning to their rap roots with GD, Taeyang, and now CL. I'm a little torn about how I feel about it considering they're using the hip hop lifestyle as a fashion statement rather than a reflection of their actual lifestyle. I don't know, I still have to think more about it and get all my feelz together. If you haven't seen CL's new single "The Baddest Female" check it out here.
Exo "Wolf" – Vote for it Here!
Next up is EXO with their comeback video for "WOLF" or as we call it, "OULF". There is a Korean word for wolf BTW, this is just them using the English word…in a terrible way…*sigh* Anyhoo, totally shocked once again. I didn't expect this sound out of EXO. I avoided listening to any of the leaked stuff, so their legit video was the first time I heard their comeback sound. It's not that I hate it, and it's not that I love it, I just, I just…I just don't know. Maybe kpop sounds are changing? We're kind of torn about the whole thing and I think just like CL's song, we need some time to listen to it and watch the videos again. I mean, the dancing is freaking awesome, that's for sure, but the song as a whole…not sure about my opinion on it yet. I still feel like we're going to review both of these songs because even if we pick one, the other will make it up for next week so i don't want to elaborate too much on my feelings now. If you haven't seen EXO's crazy comeback, check out WOLF here.
Shinhwa "This Love" – Vote for it Here!
Last, but not least, is Shinhwa with "This Love" which is a song we actually really like, but the video is just kind of a typical meh kpop video with close ups of the band and their dancing, so we weren't really moved by it. I did find the dance to be really unique, I loved the almost domino effect of each person moving bit by bit, but I found some of the dance moves to be a wee bit…feminine? And I don't even know how to explain it because why should one dance be made for girls and not guys? I had the same reaction when I saw 2PM's A.D.T.O.Y bum dance, it just seemed kind of a hip sway dance better suited for a less make-out song related video. I don't know how to explain it, both Shinhwa and 2PM's dance seemed almost ballet like? Like slow rubbing made for a slow R&B song? Digging a pit. Someone help me!!! Anyhoo, check out Shinhwa's awesome song "This Love" here.

need help remembering?
A blogging friend (thank you C!) suggested that I design a perpetual calendar based on the calendar template I designed for this year. I thought the idea was a really good one so here it is. It will be a nice place to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries and any other important dates in your life. Yes, it would've made more sense to offer this in January but it's never too late to get organized. Right?
Have a great day!
