Samsung Series 9 NP900X3BPros: Slim design Cons: Glitchy touchpad Other Thoughts: I got a SUMMERPC deal from the Microsoft Store which brought this pc down to $780. Otherwise, this is an expensive PC that isn't worth it. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Looks Nice, but Very GlitchyPros: Nice Screen resolution, overall look is wonderful, backlit keys, decent battery life (2.5hrs - 3.5hrs web browsing and word processing) Cons: Very dissatisfied with the laptop. The internet is very slow on public WiFi. Friends with older laptops quickly websurf on the same network at my local Starbucks. I often have problems reconnecting, sometimes having to restart the computer. Firefox crashes sometimes several times in a row. Other Thoughts: Paid roughly $1400. Didn't expect the computer to be so problematic or that much money. I thought many of these issues were glitches that would be solved with software updates and maintenance, but they've remained and have increasingly frustrated me over time. It can take me as long as ten minutes to successfully pay a utility bill online because of the slow internet speed, browser crashes, accidental "clicks" on buttons before filling out information, etc. Did you find this review helpful? |
Worth it over an Air for Windows FansPros: Great Screen, can't say this enough. Bad screens were the downfall of every Ultrabook like laptop I looked at. Bought this without being able to see it in person, but sitting next to my roommates 13" Air it is as good if not better straight on, and viewing angles are very good. AND ITS NOT GLOSSY! Cons: Keyboard is not as good as the air, keys feel very good but there is little travel and a kinda "cheap" noise when you click on them. Other Thoughts: This is the best laptop with windows that I have ever used hands down. It was bettween this and putting windows on a Air. 11 out of 12 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Spring Garden Antique & Vintage Market again today. From one of my favorite sellers, bought these adorable lady-like screw back earrings. They are GF but the maker's mark is so small I can't yet determine what it is from my loupe or camera. It is a single letter inside a diamond shape. A task for another day.

Discussion Question #1 - Your responses to these questions will be posted on Friday.
Discussion Question #2 - Your responses to these questions will be posted on Monday.
If you've been reading this column for the last couple of weeks, I have been writing about the University of Minnesota's women's basketball team as they have progressed through the NCAA tournament. Actually, I wrote about them, specifically Lindsay Whalen and Janel McCarville, throughout the season. Here is what I wrote on Monday, after the Gophers "upset" the 3rd seed Boston College:
None of the Gophers wins thusfar in the tournament have been at all surprising. However, if they manage to somehow beat Duke (30-3), I will officially be shocked!
Well, I am more than happy to say that I am officially shocked! Minnesota took an early lead and was able to maintain that lead throughout. In the second half, Duke did tie the game on two occasions, but each time, the Gophers would go on a mini-run to stay on top. As per usual, it was the tandem of McCarville and Whalen that led the way, but I was very impressed by the play of Kadidja Andersson and Shannon Bolden. Both knocked down some big shots, and Bolden did an admirable job of guarding Alana Beard.
Before I discuss how the Gophers did, I think it is important to just take a minute and realize just how good the Duke women's basketball program is. They were 30-3 on the season going into the game and went 15-1 in the ACC. They were the #1 team in the entire country. They had been to the Final Four the last two seasons.
And, how good is Alana Beard? Well, here is a very quick summary of her career at Duke. She came to Duke as the top high school player in the country out of Shreveport, LA. As a freshman at Duke, she averaged 17.0 points, 3.8 assists, 3.5 steals and was named to every Freshman All-American team. As a sophomore, she was on every first-team All-America team. She averaged 19.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3.3 steals. Last year, as a junior, she won a couple of National Player of the Year Awards and averaged 22 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.8 steals. This season, her final year at Duke, she averaged 19.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.3 steals. So, not only is she an amazing offensive talent, but he has been great on the defensive end as well. She is a first-team All-American for the 3rd straight season (She was second team her freshman year), and between she and Diana Tourasi, they will win all of the Player of the Year Awards.
So, what happened last night? Well, the Gophers held Beard to 4-14 from the field and she had just 10 points. And on the offensive end of the court, the Gophers got help from a lot of places. Lindsay Whalen, who was a second-team All-American despite missing five weeks with a broken hand, led with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Janel McCarville, who is setting herself up to be a preseason first-team All-American next year, had another big game with 20 points, 18 boards and 6 assists. But it was more than just the big two. Kadidja Andersson, a senior from Stockholm, Sweden, played all 40 minutes and was 6-10 from the field with 17 points and 5 rebounds. Shannon Bolden guarded Beard, but also contributed 10 big points, including a couple of huge 3-pointers at key moments in the game. Shannon Schonrock played all 40 minutes and scored just 6 points, but she plays great on-ball defense. Jamie Broback played 17 minutes because of foul trouble for both McCarville and Bolden. She scored just two points but didn't hurt the team when she was out there. That said, Whalen and McCarville have been amazing. For the four games they've played in the tournament so far, Whalen is averaging 22 points, 5.3 rebounds and 8 assists. McCarville is averaging 19.8 points, 17 rebounds and 4.8 assists.
It was a huge game for the Gophers, a great team effort. Every bit of it was needed to beat such a great Duke team.
So what's next? Well, a trip to the Final Four in New Orleans. They are scheduled to play the University of Connecticut in the first round. UConn, led by Geno Aureimma was a #2 seed heading into the tournament, but beat the #1 seed in their region, Penn State, 66-49, to advance to the Final Four. Diana Taurasi led the way with 27 points. (Taurasi is averaging 16.2 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds this year.) Connecticut will be aiming for their 3rd straight national championship and fourth in the last five years. So, the Gophers beat one top, historical women's basketball program and will face arguably the most historical women's basketball program. Of course, 2004 Coach of the Year, Pat Summit's Tennessee Volunteers can also make that argument, and last night, they defeated Stanford to advance to this year's Final Four. They will play Louisiana State in the first round.
So, I'm looking forward to watching these games. I can't believe that I'm saying that, but watching Lindsay Whalen and Janel McCarville and checking out Shannon Schonrock and Shannon Bolden has been great! Speaking of Shannon Schonrock, check out the article on her and her hometown of Winnebago, MN, in today's Star-Tribune. The Pioneer Press' Tom Powers has a great article on Lindsay Whalen.
Do you have any comments on the Gophers women's basketball team, or the Final Four? E-mail me.
TUESDAY - Twins 2, Reds 8
Brad Thomas had pitched himself into a position to win the Twins 5th starter job. Yesterday, he may have pitched himself out of it. Thomas lasted just two innings and was roughed up. He gave up 5 hits and walked two, giving up 3 earned runs with no strike outs. But after that, a couple of pitchers vying for roster spots performed very well. Peter Munro pitched the next two innings, two shutout innings. He gave up a hit and two walks and struck out one. Grant Balfour, who I think should be the fifth starter, pitched two shutout innings. He gave up one hit and struck out two. He has been consistent and dominant since coming back from injury. Juan Rincon, who has a spot in the bullpen locked up, gave up four earned runs on five hits in an inning. He struck out two. The Twins had eight hits on the day. Only Nick Punto had multiple hits, going 2-3 with a double. Michael Ryan had a double in four at bats after learning that he, and not Lew Ford, will be on the Twins roster on Opening Day. (By the way, after the game, the team announced that Thomas would, in fact, be the Twins 5th starter.)
WEDNESDAY - The Twins take on the Phillies at noon today.
The big news of the day was that Ron Gardenhire decided that Michael Ryan would make his opening day roster, instead of Lew Ford. This is a decision that makes no sense to me at all. The only thing that Ryan has over Ford is that he hits left-handed. He can be used as a left-handed pinch hitter off the bench. Defensively, there is no comparison, Ford is far better and more versatile. Offensively, Ford is better. Let's be honest, Ryan is making this team because he had a good three weeks at the end of last season. But, it is hard to forget that he hit .220 at AAA last year before being called up. Ford has consistently performed offensively in the minor leagues and last year in the big leagues, even playing with a broken arm. Even this spring, Ford was hitting .273 while Ryan hit just .244. And, if the reason for keeping Ryan on the roster is as a left-handed pinch hitter, then what is the purpose of having Jose Offerman on the roster? This transaction makes no sense to me.
The Fargo Forum's Mike McFeely feels the Twins are still the favorites in the AL Central despite all of the roster change-over.
Yesterday, I wrote my thoughts while watching the Yankees lose to the Devil Rays. Like me, The Baseball Boys' Eric got up to watch the game in the early a.m. hours, well, he almost got up in time. Read his thoughts on season's first game. The teams will play again early this morning with Kevin Brown facing Jeremi Gonzalez, but I will not be waking up before 4:00 again to watch them. Should major league's Opening Day really happen in Japan? I don't think so. The Bad Twin writes a short, funny opinion on the topic which starts out with:
"Gotta love opening day. Nothing says Americana and springtime like getting up at 4:00 am, turning on the TV, and watching the Yankees play the Devil Rays indoors on Astroturf. Well, at least, it wouldn't have if I wasn't still asleep..."
It is hard to argue that America's Game's biggest day should happen in America.
UPDATE - In case you were wondering, and didn't wake up early again to watch the game, the Yankees won game two of the series 12-1 over the Devil Rays. Hideki Matsui hit a home run and Jorge Posada hit two three-run homers, one from each side of the plate. Kevin Brown won his 198th career game. The teams will now make the 18 hour flight back to America and will continue their seasons next week.
Be sure to check out this week's Discussion Questions. Feel free to answer all or some of the questions for me. Just send me an e-mail and your thoughts will be heard later this week.

Sometime early this morning, this site will have its 30,000th hit (if you happen to be the 30,000th hit, let me know!!). That is pretty exciting for me. I don't know what it means, but it is somewhat of a milestone. I want to thank all of you that check by every day, and especially those of you who take the time to write and share your opinions with me on anything I write. I still have fun writing every day and will continue to do this until I don't. A big part of that enjoyment comes from the interaction with the readers. So, send me an e-mail and just say hi! If you're interested in the statistics, the hits have consistently increased since I started this website about ten months ago. The last few months, I have had over 4,000 hits per month, which equates to 180-200 hits per week day, on average. That's a big jump from the 20-30 hits I was getting in the first couple months after I started. With the major league season now upon us, I hope to only continue to increase these numbers. If you know any baseball/sports fans out there, be sure to tell them about the site. Thanks again for taking the time to read my stuff every day. As always, if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for me, send me an e-mail.
First, one of last year's contestants, Trenyce, was on Cold Pizza this morning. She is in a play that is in New York through this week. Jackee Harry also is in the play as Trenyce's character's mother. Just another example of success coming to those who have appeared on American Idol.
Last night, the ten remaining American Idol contestants performed songs with a Motown vibe. I thought some of the people made some excellent song choices. I really thought that about half of the performances were great, while the other half were rather poor. I'll discuss the notes I wrote as I watched the show last night. Then I will rank the performances from worst to first. Finally, I will predict the Bottom 3 and who will be eliminated.
Camille Velasco - For Once in My Life
She is very cute, but reality that she isn't a great singer is setting in.
Jon Peter Lewis - This Old Heart of Mine
Started out very poor, but ended up pretty good. The "JPL" nickname may help him.
LaToya London - Oh, Baby Baby
Excellent song to show her elegance and some range. She was very controlled.
Amy Adams - Dancin' in the Streets
She seemed too low the whole song, but she does have a very strong voice.
John Stevens - My Girl
He wasn't even close to being on tune the entire song. This may be the beginning of the end for Jon unless he picks some better songs.
Jennifer Hudson - Heat Wave
With her, it has never been her voice. I think she can sing very well. She's just missing some intangibles, and I'm still scared of her.
Jasmine Trias - All I Need to Get By
Better than last week, great energy. It was probably the least known song that anyone sang, which could hurt her.
Diana Degarmo - Do You Love Me
Very safe song. She was good, just didn't have to show much with that song choice. I did like her run at the end.
Fantasia Barrino - Heard it Through the Grapevine
She's got the perfect voice for Motown. She did too much at the end though.
George Huff - Ain't too Proud to Beg
Great stage presence, great deep voice, but hits all the high notes as well.
My Rankings:
10.) John Stevens
9.) Camille Velasco - may have been saved by just how bad John Stevens was!
8.) John Peter Lewis
7.) Amy Adams
6.) Jennifer Hudson
5.) Diana Degarmo
4.) Jasmine Trias
3.) George Huff
2.) Fantasia Barrino
1.) LaToya London - She's the best!
My choices as The Bottom Three: John Stevens, Camille Velasco and Amy Adams
My choice as Who Will Be Eliminated: Camille Velasco
What did you think of last night's American Idol? E-mail me.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK - Part 1
This week, there will actually be dual questions of the week, but both will be similar. On Friday, I will post your thoughts on the upcoming baseball season. It's that time of the year, and predictions need to be made. I will post my thoughts and predictions that day as well. Here are the questions:
1.) Who will win each of the six divisions??
2.) Who will win the AL and NL MVP Awards?
3.) Who will win the AL and NL Cy Young Awards?
4.) Who will win the AL and NL Rookie of the Year Awards?

6.) Name on team that you think will be the biggest disappointment the year?
7.) Who will win the AL and NL Batting championships?
8.) Who will win the AL and NL Home Run championships?
9.) Who will lead the AL and NL in Wins/Saves?
10.) Who will play in and win the World Series?
11.) Are there any storylines that are really exciting to you as the season begins? What headlines are you looking forward to reading (Example - Yankees Lose 100, The Boss Fires Himself)
So, I guess that is 11 Questions of the Week. Your responses will be posted on Friday (with you permission, of course), so please, simply send me an e-mail with your answers to the above questions. Be as specific or general as you want to be.
DISCUSSION QUESTION OF THE WEEK - Part 2
The results of Part 2 will be posted next Monday. The Twins will be opening their season next Monday night against Cleveland, so it seems like an appropriate time to talk about the Twins. Please answers these questions by sending me an e-mail.
1.) How will Joe Mauer do in his rookie season?
2.) Who will lead the Twins in (and how many):
a.) Batting Average
b.) Home Runs
c.) RBI
d.) Stolen Bases
3.) Who will lead the Twins in (and how many):
a.) Wins
b.) ERA
c.) Saves
4.) Will Jacque Jones stay with the team all season?
5.) Which minor leaguer(s) do you think will have the most impact on the Twins season?
6.) What, in your opinion, is the X-Factor for the Twins this year?
7.) How many games will the Twins win, and what place will that be in the AL Central?
8.) What storylines will you be following throughout the Twins season (example - Rivas Wins HR Title, or Bartlett Replaces Guzman)
There you have it. Eight Twins related questions for you to answer for next Monday. Again, be as specific or general as you'd like. If you want to project the stats for each Twins player, feel free to do so. I will post these thoughts on Monday, so please think about an answer. I can't wait to read your responses, so, e-mail me.
That's it for today. I hope you enjoy what you have read. If you have any questions or comments, suggestions or opinions, E-mail me.

Commentary by: Sandy MacLean
Aired November 28, 2008
Both the St. Louis-Post Dispatch and the St. Louis Business Journal recently have published articles on Missouris declining state revenues and the ambitious agenda of Governor-elect Nixon. Briefly Mr. Nixon is planning to expand health care for the poor, increase funding for education, and decrease taxes for senior citizens. He plans to do all of these without increasing taxes while state revenues decline due to the nation-wide recession. Although Missouri has a reported budget surplus of 833 million dollars, 300 million dollars has been obligated by the General Assembly. With inflation and recession, this surplus will evaporate rapidly.
Recently State Senator Joan Bray spoke to the Clayton-Ladue Rotary Club. She pointed out that over 60% of the states budget is obligated by federal and state regulations and cannot be reduced by the General Assembly. Discretionary items in the states budget, those items that can be reduced by the General Assembly, are primarily limited to education and social services. These programs are already at minimum funding levels for a state the size of Missouri.
An alternative is for Governor-elect Nixon and the Republican controlled General Assembly to call for a moratorium on tax reductions and any additional funding increases for state programs and services. This is necessary until the recession is over and state revenues improve.

In the current business environment, CEOs and business owners must do more with less and focus on the efficient use of resources, including employees, to have a sustainable and profitable company. An ongoing personnel assessment is critical to success, but making necessary changes can be especially difficult in a business culture where employees are like a family. Having served as an advisor for CEOs and business owners for many years, I know how difficult it can be to separate the business needs from the personal issues. It is a very emotional time as you determine that a long-term, loyal employee no longer has the skills required to keep operations stable, much less to help grow the business. To make matters worse, not only is the employee under-skilled, but very often the obsolete employee is overpaid because they have been with the company for a long time. When you evaluate personnel effectiveness, consider if you can retrain, reassign, or if you need to replace the employee.
Retraining an employee
Determine if the employee is capable of elevating his or her skills or building a new skill set through training. If so, you will want to research what training is available. How much will it cost? How much time will it take? Does the company have the time and money to invest? Is the desired result possible? If retraining is of value to the company, you will want to find out if the employee is willing to regroup and take on this new challenge. If this option is cost effective and the employee is willing, you have a workable solution.
Reassigning to another position
There may be an opportunity to use the employee's skills in another open position within the company. You will want to take a serious, objective look at how or if they can contribute. If there is an open position and if the employee is willing to make the change, then you have created a "win-win" situation.
Replacing the employee
Perhaps you've known all along that the only real option is to dismiss this employee. There are some items to consider as you prepare to dismiss the employee which may also help to lessen your guilt:
Severance Pay—This really depends on what seems fair, comfortable and what the company can afford. If you decide to do it then you should have a legal document for the employee to sign that protects the company in return for this payment.
Job Search Assistance—If an employee has been with the company for a long time, he or she may not know how to write a resume or how to organize a job search. Resources are available for this. You may want to consider paying to help them find new employment.
Making people decisions is seldom easy. Such decisions tug at your heart—you may feel badly for a while, but it is important to remember that the world has changed and things are seldom static in the business environment. You want to stay focused on the end goals: taking care of you, your family, and the other employees and their families who rely on a viable, sustainable, and profitable business.

The New York premiere of The Great Gatsby is happening tonight. Last night the film's stars Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire were at a cocktail party celebrating Prada's Gatsby costuming. Leo evidently couldn't be bothered. Miuccia Prada dressed Carey at her wedding. Carey is wearing Prada here. Full Story

The Great Gatsby junket happened in New York this weekend. Here's Leonardo DiCaprio at the press conference. Are you feeling his open shirt? I am not feeling his open shirt. Would it kill him to sell this movie the way he looks in this movie?!? This is not important to the Actor, Lainey. Really? You don't think his appearance had anything to do with why Baz Luhrmann put him in the f-cking movie? I love the way he looks in the movie. Full Story
One year of Carey & Marcus
Bauer, Splash
Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford were married on April 21, 2012. Here they are, just after their first anniversary, hand in hand in New York yesterday after lunch. According to the band's official website, Mumford & Sons isn't touring again until May 21. Perhaps Marcus can join Carey in Cannes then as her film Inside Llewyn Davis will screen in competition there. Full Story

I loved this tuxedo cape when Victoria Beckham sent it down the runway at New York Fashion week in February. Click here to see her Fall/Winter 2013 collection. At the time, I called it the most interesting piece. And it's even better on my beloved Carey Mulligan with pants. Full Story
Carey Mulligan's reality show
A couple of weeks ago, when I was posting this article about Emma Watson, but really about Julia Roberts, I sent a video of that scene from Pretty Woman to Duana with a jizzy message about Julia attached. Duana, who appreciates Julia Roberts more than anyone else I know, wrote back: She was a STAR. Full Story
Carey & Eddie two years later

Two years ago, Carey Mulligan was rebounding off Shia LaBeouf (it makes even more sense now, doesn't it?) by hanging out with Tom Sturridge and living out of a Best Western. It was never confirmed if they were dating but it didn't last long enough for any interest to really take hold anyway because a couple of months later she was photographed holding hands in New York with Eddie Redmayne. Full Story
Back In Black with The Great Gatsby
New trailer for The Great Gatsby just dropped... And you can hear a few bars of Beyonce's Back To Black cover collaboration with Andre 3000. There's also Lana Del Ray, and Florence & The Machine. This soundtrack, produced by Jay-Z, is sounding GOOD. The film too is...looking better and better. Full Story
Carey Mulligan is tired
INF, Dave M. Benett/ Getty
From partying with Taylor Swift after the BRITS last night? So there's Mrs Timberlake, the touring wife. And then there's Carey Mulligan, also supporting her husband, Marcus Mumford, on the awards circuit. What's the difference? Oh...just an Oscar nomination. I just finished up at the Canadian Oscar Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire -- Pretty Woman! -- and am rushing back to the hotel to blog. Full Story
Grammys Best Tuxedo: Carey Mulligan

Look, Mumford's never been my jam. They're good, I know. But I don't go to them on repeat on a road trip or anything. If they come on because I've hit shuffle, fine. I never rush to the car and make up an excuse to drive somewhere just to listen to them. Is that OK? You know what I do love about Mumford & Sons though? I love that Marcus Mumford married Carey Mulligan. Full Story
Carey travels with the band
SWAP/ Splash
Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford flew out of LAX yesterday. Mumford & Sons played the Hollywood Bowl the night before. Carey isn't working on anything right now after wrapping Gatsby and the Coen Bros movie. It's new bride down time and she's presumably spending it on the road with her husband. Full Story
Mommy Carey?
Exclusive This is Carey Mulligan in Beverly Hills last Thursday. This weekend she was spotted in New York, shopping at the Bowery Whole Foods with some friends. The friends had a baby. Carey, as she is in these photos, was also wearing a very loose fitting maxi dress, described to me as more of a "giant caftan". Full Story
The Great Gatsby First Trailer
A teaser for The Master was released the other day, now The Great Gatsby, and I wonder if we'll be getting something soon from Les Miserables, or perhaps even Django Unchained, seeing as some of the early hyped so-called award contenders seem to be flexing themselves this week. Many of you have written asking for commentary on the first preview for Baz Luhrmann's 3D remake. Full Story
Young, fresh, and boxy at the Met: Carey Mulligan & Kristen Stewart
Christopher Sadowski/Splash, Larry Busacca/Getty
Beautiful girls, both. And willing to experiment. The results aren't necessarily perfect but there is imagination here, there is spark, and if this is any indication, there's much to look forward to in Kristen Stewart's collaboration with Balenciaga. LOVE the tank he's put her in on top but I'm just not sure this particular styling isn't better suited to a premiere rather than a gala. Full Story
Pink wedding wellies!
Wenn, PCN
I wrote a couple of weeks ago, click here for a refresher, that we were expecting Carey Mulligan's wedding. And it happened on Saturday at a farmhouse in England. Marcus Mumford is her husband now. It rained, as it does over there, that day so - according to Us Weekly Full Story

New technology has created powerful new ways to gather, store, sort, analyze, locate, correlate, and disseminate data. This has enabled increasingly intensive use of personal data, which can deliver significant benefits. But the growing use of personal data raises a host of privacy challenges as well. Most consumers have only a limited understanding of the multiple ways that their data is used and shared in today's data economy. Since the widely publicized security breach at ChoicePoint in 2005, there has been a nearly continuous stream of announcements of data security breaches at companies, government agencies, and universities. Consumers are concerned that they lack control over their personal information, and identity theft has become all too frequent.
Despite the unprecedented challenges to privacy in the modern environment, there is still no comprehensive law that spells out consumers' privacy rights in the commercial marketplace. Instead, a confusing patchwork of distinct standards hast been developed over the years, with highly uneven results and many gaps in coverage.

I guess it would be best to wait and read up on reviews and then go check the phones out in person. Easier said than done!
Are you kidding? Please tell me you're kidding. Yet ANOTHER Bionic vs Razr thread? C'mon, this is a few steps beyond ridiculous. This is really turning this site into a joke. I'm wondering why the mods and admins keep allowing these thread to stay open.
This is not another Bionic vs nexus thread. I am trading in the Bionic for the razr or nexus.
I want to choose correctly.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
If we choose incorrectly, do we stand the chance of getting sued? I vote you get whatever damn phone pleases you and leave this site for actual discussion of the Bionic.
As said before, we don't know enough about you to make a valid decision for you. We don't know what you want out of a phone. Do you prefer form follows function or function follows form?
Of the 3 choices only one is available to use and the other two aren't so we can't suggest based on real life experience.
I own a Prius and though I like it, I know not everybody will. Back in 2005 I saw posts on a Prius forum about people who bought the car WITHOUT A TEST DRIVE and complained about the seats. They were bigger and fatter than me and I can see why they complained. It doesn't make the car bad, it just wasn't right for them.
Just out of curiosity, if everyone voted for you to keep the Bionic, would you? This is a great group, but I'm not going to let complete strangers decide for me what phone to buy. I don't even accept suggestions about apps without checking to see if it meets my needs.
I want the best and most durable form. I want a nice screen. Something that I will be happy with for two years.
I lean to the razr but the nexus has its advantages.
I don't like the build of the Bionic I prefer thinner and lighter with a better screen.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
I still say the Nexus, just as you rooted your D1 to breath life back into it you will be able to do the same to the GNXS after time passes...the Rzr will be limited by it's own bootloader, not to say it can't be rooted but we all know the difference in developer magic when it comes to locked/unlocked phones

Sony NEX-5T Compact System Camera with 16-50mm & 55-210 IS Lens, HD 1080p, 16.1MP, Wi-Fi, NFC, 3" LCD Screen
Click on the image to zoomProduct information
The NEX-5T takes pictures with the speed and precision of a DSLR. A large 16.1 megapixel APS-C sensor delivers sharp shots and bright images even in low light. Capture the action with quick auto focus then connect to your smartphone or tablet through the built-in NFC and Wi-Fi.
Key benefits:
- When it comes to taking great pictures, the NEX-5T has a big heart, an APS-C sensor the same size as in DSLR cameras. It captures more light than other interchangeable lens cameras. More of the image reaches the sensor, giving you pro-quality shots up to 16.1 megapixels.
- View and share your images simply and conveniently, without the hassle of cables or complicated menus. With built-in NFC and Wi-Fi you can connect to your tablet, smartphone or other NFC-equipped device with just one touch. Or use your smartphone to control your camera.
- Direct your own movies with High Definition recording for smooth, professional looking video. The large sensor knows when you're shooting in low light conditions and adjusts automatically to make the scene brighter.
- Capture those 'blink-and-you-miss-them' moments with new Hybrid Auto Focus technology. It locks into focus as fast as a DSLR and takes photos at up to 10 frames per second, making it ideal for spontaneous shots or high-speed action.
- Looking for a different point of view? Move the tiltable touchscreen LCD up to 180° to capture those more challenging photos. It's also fast and intuitive to use. Just touch anywhere on the screen and the camera will focus automatically and take the shot.
- The large sensor and BIONZ processor delivers up to ISO 25600 for clear low-light shots.
- Includes: two lenses, lens cap, flash, flash case, power cord, AC adapter, shoulder strap, micro USB cable and CD ROM.
Feeling creative?
One of the biggest advantages of this camera is the sheer shooting flexibility on offer. You can use additional lenses to take wide-angle, telephoto, or close-up shots to suit just about any situation. The shorter the focal length (measured in mm), the wider the view will be – the longer the focal length, the more telescopic the picture. With a selection of interchangeable lenses at your disposal, the creative possibilities are endless.
Why not take a look at our range of additional lenses?

In light of recent tragedies, like the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, one East Texas organization is making sure our community can recognize the symptoms of a mental illness.
The Andrews Center in Tyler is offering a first aid mental health class. Jerry Wrinkle is one of the East Texans who took the class on Wednesday.
Jerry Wrinkle has been a juvenile probation officer in Smith County for 22 years and says it is essential that we as a community start recognizing the symptoms of mental illness around us.
"It's more important now than ever," Wrinkle said.He says catching it early makes all the difference."Since I am a drug counselor dealing with substance abuse issues, because a lot of people dealing with those issues initiate with the stress and traumatic instances. It's those things that cause you to use drugs or commit violent acts like we've seen on the news. If we can catch that and get them redirected in a positive light, it can maybe save some lives," Wrinkle said. That's why he's here with other East Texans to take the Andrews Center mental health first aid class. "We're learning about the signs and symptoms of mental illness. Not to the point of making a diagnosis, because that would be a medical professional. But to the point of where you see someone that is depressed, and you can talk with them and hopefully get them help," class organizer and Andrews Center employee Marisha Roberts said. Marisha said they decided to offer more of these classes because of recent tragedies."Because of the recent shootings around the country, we wanted to raise awareness that this class even exists. We want to get more training out there so that people can hopefully recognize symptoms earlier and get people the help they need," Roberts said. Jerry says this class isn't just for people who deal with people with a mental illness."We all deal with people no matter what field of work you're in, or what you do, whether you're a stay-at-home mom and dad or whatever. You're still dealing with the world, and they have family in the world and they may be the only one there to help someone at any given moment," Wrinkle said.And it's catching it early that could prevent another tragedy. "You can never have enough knowledge when it comes time," Wrinkle said.

Illustration: Guy Billout Ugh! I'm so full, I can't breathe!" says Rose as she finishes her cheeseburger. "And I've got to lose weight. ... I think I'll have the crème brûlée." Across the table, her oncologist friend, Linda, lights up, handling the stress of treating cancer patients by smoking like a chimney. Meanwhile Barb is complaining about her 27-year-old son, Randy. "If he doesn't get a job and move out soon," she says, "I don't know what I'll do." Rose and Linda know what Barb will do—she'll keep cooking and cleaning for Randy until she dies of old age.
In their book The Knowing-Doing Gap: How Smart Companies Turn Knowledge into Action, authors Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert I. Sutton discuss why our actions often don't match our ideals, and what we can do about it. Although the authors' research is drawn from the corporate world, I read the book as a self-help guide, looking for ways to stop perpetuating behavior I know is bad for me: postponing work, playing addictive computer games, eating hotel minibar food that hardens my arteries and costs more than its weight in enriched uranium. If you're a cognitive dissonance sufferer like Rose, Linda, Barbara, and me, try these dos and don'ts that I've adapted from Messrs. Pfeffer and Sutton for closing the knowing-doing gap: Don't Substitute Talk For ActionMike calls me every few weeks to say, "I need to talk to you about my girlfriend. I've been talking to a lot of her friends, and we should talk about what they've been talking about. Maybe she and I should come talk to you together." Talk, talk, talk. Mike is tolerating his awful relationship by creating storms of verbiage that make him think he and his girlfriend are making progress, even though they aren't. He's not alone. Substituting talk for action is perhaps the most common way we fall into the knowing-doing gap. Many corporate teams spend so much time creating strategies and mission statements, they don't actually implement anything. The same goes for individuals. We plan, consider, discuss, brood—and count the word-spinning hours as "action." We think we're working toward our goals when in fact we're spinning our wheels. Do Hit Your Mute ButtonIf you're not sure whether you're in danger of talking your dreams to death, try something for me. Today, whenever you mutter your usual reminders about cleaning the closet, learning to tango, or finding a new job/boyfriend/oven thermometer, make a note of it on a piece of paper. At the end of the day, read over your list and ask yourself, "Did I do anything that created a measurable change toward each goal?" If not, you're substituting words for action. You can close the knowing-doing gap only by focusing on observable change—not plans, comments, or excuses. You don't have to build Rome in a day; small tweaks are more sustainable, and thus more effective, than attempts at total revolution. Advertisement

NEW YORK — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is skipping the United Nations General Assembly again this year, but he was in New York City anyway on Thursday, meeting with global leaders and receiving an international statesman award.
As the world watched both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestinian Authority, address the UN, Harper met with the Haitian president at a mid-town Manhattan hotel just a few blocks away.
Harper and Michel Martelly shook hands and exchanged pleasantries before getting down to the business of discussing the Canada-Haiti relationship.
The men focused on efforts to bring economic stability to the impoverished, long-suffering Caribbean island, the recipient of $1 billion in Canadian aid since 2006.
Harper also met with Henry Kissinger, the storied U.S. statesman, at his Park Avenue office. Kissinger later presented Harper with his "world statesman" award from the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, an inter-faith peace organization.
The prime minister also sat down later in the day with Abbas, and was scheduled to meet on Friday morning with Netanyahu. The Middle East peace process was the focus of the Harper/Abbas discussions.
In the Israeli prime minister's address to the UN on Thursday, he cautioned that Iran will soon have amassed enough enriched uranium to build a nuclear bomb, urging fellow world leaders to draw a "red line" to shut the Iranians down.
"I believe that faced with a clear red line, Iran will back down — and it will give more time for sanctions and diplomacy," Netanyahu said.
"Red lines don't lead to war, red lines prevent war . . . nothing could imperil the world more than a nuclear-armed Iran."
Harper is onside with Netanyahu's approach, and has taken a hard line against Iran. Canada recently closed its embassy in Tehran and Iran returned fire this week, issuing a travel advisory to its citizens to steer clear of Canada because it was rife with "Iranophobia."
The Canadian prime minister was bestowed with the world statesman honour at the annual Appeal of Conscience dinner at the swank Waldorf-Astoria hotel. His office says he was being recognized as "a champion of democracy, freedom, and human rights."
Past winners include Canada's Jean Chretien, Nicolas Sarkozy of France and former British prime minister Gordon Brown.
The event was taking place as hundreds of world leaders — absent Canada's prime minister — gathered at the UN to discuss urgent global issues, including the situation in Syria, the ominous tensions between Israel and Iran and the eruption of anti-American violence in the Middle East.
Harper has faced a barrage of criticism back home for his decision to opt out of speaking to the UN again this year.
But he's insisted it's not standard procedure for the Canadian prime minister to address the General Assembly every year. The UN has met seven times since he was elected; Harper's spoken twice, in 2006 and in 2010.
In his place, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird will once again address the UN on Monday.

"First Rule Of Girl Club; There Is No Girl Club."
Maybe I'm not as open minded as I think I am.
I came across a female yesterday, talking especially loud on her cell phone about some type of relationship problems she was having with her (actual) girlfriend. Normally, I tune out the ambient noises of urban living (except for gunshots & sirens), but the shrill, high-pitched pierce of her voice sparked my curiosity. Not only did I intend to step up my eavesdropping, but now I turned to look.
I saw a young Black girl, dressed like a young Black boy, using all types of unlady-like language to describe the love/hate conflict between her & another young lady. I'm positive I even heard her murmur "with a strap-on" at least twice. If this was porn I was watching, right about now would be the time I start really "paying attention," but this wasn't a couple of impossibly sexy lesbians about to have a tantalizing pillow fight. This was real life. & this was a Black girl lost.
Lost, as in misguided & without direction, which may or may not be directly affected by her obvious affinity for other females. I could even go so far as to call it coincidence, & it still wouldn't change my assessment of the situation. More & more, I see these young girls who have been swept into some strange, backwards world, where the true essence of being a woman is completely discarded like a used sanitary napkin. I kind of understand how Black women felt a couple of decades ago, when they'd look at each other at beauty salons & nail shops & rhetorically ask one another where'd the Black men go. Perhaps that unanswerable question is one of the causes for what I'm writing about now. Go figure.
What I see is a generation of girls who grew up with absentee fathers, drug-addled uncles & lackadaisical step dads, & to counterattack the substantial, subconscious pain that was caused, they, themselves, become the "men" they never had. I understand "gay is here to stay," & what have you, but I'm talking about these young girls who would rather be dudes, not the free-spirited souls who refused to be caged in by only one sexual preference. They would "rather be dudes" so much so that they challenge "other" men, like an animal protecting it's territory, at every opportunity. God forbid I see, what I perceive to be, a pretty girl with her homegirl out in public. I'm sorry, married or not, I notice nice looking people. If I wasn't supposed to, my eyes would be in my wife's purse instead of my testicles, if you smell my cologne. Anyway, what would have genuinely been her homegirl, 20 years ago, is now her lover, & these lover's go out of their way to mimic men so tediously that I find myself rubbing my beard out of spite. For the record, I'm a proponent of Equal Rights. Stare at me long enough, & sexual orientation has nothing to do with an ass whipping. & not for nothing, but butch lesbians, in most cases, are tougher than actual men. That's that "something to prove" attitude that gets people murdered in broad daylight. I remember when I was 9, there was a girl in our neighborhood who could pee standing up, like a dude. We all watched her do it. If she ever registered & trademarked that move, she'd be a billionaire, just from L.A. sales alone.
Back to the broad on the cell phone. Turns out that the chick she was talking to has a daughter that goes to my son's school. It took me a minute to place her face, but I'd seen her at the school numerous times. The last time I saw her, she had her hair in 2 pony tails, wearing basketball shorts down to her high-top Nikes, which complimented the over-sized white t-shirt she wore. Somebody should tell these chicks that sports bra's can't hide what the good Lord blessed you with. Not even in a 4XL Pro Club. So, not only is this chick really confused about her sexuality (not that there's anything wrong with that), but her girlfriend, who doesn't appear any more stable than she does, allows her daughter to be exposed to them kissing & cuddling in public. I've seen it. But, like I said, maybe I'm not as open minded as I think I am. If little Black girls start growing up with 2 gay moms & an obscure perception of the Black man's role in the family & community, there's no telling what type of societal turbulence we could be flying into. Let us remember that the Black man is still having an identity crisis of his own, on several different fronts.
I don't have a problem with homosexuality. However, I do have a few problems with woman who like other woman, can't stand men, & yet do everything in the power to emulate manhood. The flip side of that coin is, if a woman decides she's gay, then settles for a relationship with another female who all but has a real penis, isn't that a hypocritical waste of time? I don't know much about lady-thinking, but it seems man-filled condom>>>jelly-filled sex toy any day of the week. I don't get it. But, it's probably not meant to be figured out in the first place, huh?
On a related note, us men need to own some responsibility as to how these girls/women get treated in the real world. Daughters, moms, children's mothers, etc. Just saying.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I love love love this school. My girls and I moved here from another country and have met so much understanding and help, because of the language , my girls wasn't fluently in english when we came, but now they are. Thanks to you beautiful teacher with enormous patience and guidance. The teachers are amazing, you are lucky if you end up in Mrs Valdes class or Mrs Zarakowski. Much love
My daughter was new to Wonderland this year, and I can honestly say that I love this school. She had two wonderful, energetic, committed, and amazing teachers, who went above and beyond anything I would have expected in terms of the effort and enthusiasm they showed with the children. The parents, children and staff were kind and caring. The "extras' at the school, like PE, Art,Music, field trips, after-school programs, etc, were so good. My daughter had a great year, we feel very lucky that she was able to attend Wonderland.
We were happy with Wonderland School for quite few years, but the last 2 years have been very disappointed, since it's been constantly testing and testing and testing without a break. I really can't see the teaching here, just testing. How can the student learn if there is not time for learning, just testing (of course, this is because of the LAUSD budget cuts, no doubt). But student are not learning the way it used to be.... : (
Whenever I see a negative review of Wonderland, I can't help but wonder if it's a magnet applicant's parent hoping to improve their chances by discouraging others. Comparing Wonderland negatively to Carpenter is flat-out ludicrous. Wonderland is a nearly perfect public school. I am a parent of two students at Wonderland who have had a combined 13 different teachers, not including the music, library, P.E. teachers. I know of what I write. I also know, from speaking to many parents, that there are a handful of parents who would not be happy under any circumstance. And I imagine the reviewer two below this will be submitting a similarly negative review of Carpenter next year. Completely defies logic that somebody would write about moving OUT of the Wonderland District because the school doesn't have enough computers to satisfy their subjective preference.. That's literally crazy-talk.
In response to the prior 2 reviews a couple things from a former teacher. 1. If your home school is Carpenter you're crazy to leave that. They have a GATE program that far surpasses Wonderland in the sense that they teach GATE with fidelity to research. However, Wonderland has incredible resources and a more developed sense of constructivism. The teachers who use their technology as it is supposed to be used provide a valuable access point for students. Some teachers at both schools sacrifice teaching the students because they rely on the fact that they have "smart" kids. Carpenter tends to communicate more teacher to parent and both principals are extremely skilled socially. The fact that Carpenter went charter shows their willingness to be more transparent and parentally share-controlled. Either school is a huge blessing to public school options.
in response to the below negative review - with all due respect, i disagree. How does the presence of computers in a school make it better? In this highly technologically charged world climate, i prefer my kids get hands on learning and teaching from an actual human and not a machine. This is especially true in the lower grades, as kids are forming the way they learn and appreciate learning. I have found Wonderland to be a magical place for my kids. There are things that are compromised, yes, because it is a public school - in the way of facilities maybe - but when it comes the the education of my kids i find it to be wonderful. All of the wonderland kids i know have a special quality of kindness. They look out for each other and their community. They respect their teachers and have a genuine love of learning. As far our family is concerned, it is an oasis in a city and private school climate that often teaches kids (by default) poor social skills and materialism. Long Live Wonderland!
One of the problems with a site like this is that you can lie and nobody will know. Most everybody will know who the lady is with the snarky review as her reputation has preceded her for years in the canyon. We wish her well and bon boyage as she heads down the hill looking for greener pastures. So here are the facts and yes, you can fact check them with the website. Wonderland as a very complete arts program. More than most private schools. It has a full time art teacher and the kids see her once a week in a dedicated art studio. My child has grown amazingly as an artist this year and it's because of her. My oldest also went through the program with the last art teacher and he was amazing too. Wonderland has a full time music teacher who is fantastic. The kids get music once a week and there are even some music electives for older kids. There is also a seperate orchestra teacher. My oldest did the program with him and he's now playing in a highschool band. Wonderland has Smartboards in every room except the kindergarten. Wonderland has an amazing and beloved fulltime PE teacher. Wonderland has a great staff. It's not perfect. No school is, but it's darn close!
As far as public schools go this school seems to be average. I was expecting a lot more prior to enrolling my child at wonderland ave, being as I am an alumni of this small school, and a community local. I thought I would find a five star organized arts programs, music, computers and other activities like neighboring carpenter ave school has, and especially seeing that carpenter has only 4 stars I felt confident that wonderland would be a far better school and decision for my child. I am dissapointed in wonderland and the lack of programs and supervision. I am now contemplating a move from my native Laurel Canyon to studio city in order to enroll my child at carpenter ave, which even from their tour seems to be aLOT better school, they even have computers which are not found at wonderland, so FYI for parents researching both of these schools I think Carpenter is a better decision, and hopefully Ill see you in the spring after our move.
We are very happy with the adjunct programs at Wonderland. It is unique. I'd like to see the communication from teachers improve...responding to emails/phone calls etc. and since the magnet is a gifted magnet, I wish that the staff would inform the parents on how it is providing a gifted education. Any school can have high test scores with the right students and parents, so the school shouldn't get a pass on instruction just because of test scores.
Congratulations Wonderland family on another year of great test scores! Obviously, something is being done right. I am very proud of how my children have progressed & how they are thriving.
I just read the review below, and as a magnet out-of-area parent, with two children in the school and a third who has graduated I completely disagree. Every parent is encouraged to participate - all meetings are open and posted in terms of when they are taking place so anyone is welcome to attend. The review below says that only a select few parents serve on the fundraising committee. This is inaccurate, this parent is making a choice to not show up and participate. No one "chose" me to participate on the fundraising organization, I chose to start attending meetings and get involved. I am a full-time professor in education and the fund raising organization met at times when I could participate. This school is amazing and I feel so fortunate that all three of my children are getting, and had the opportunity for an exceptional education.
We are so lucky to be in this school. The academics are solid, and in addition through fundraising by the parents, the school is able to offer music, art, and PE. Principal Wilson is fantastic, and the kids love him. My son's teachers are phenomenal, I've never seen any bullying problems, and the campus is beautiful. We are in the magnet program, but the home school is just as wonderful. Having our son in this school is the best educational decision we've made.
Wonderland is an amazing school. The wonderful principal Don Wilson leads a truly exceptional team of teachers and staff that demonstrate how much they care and how committed they are to our kids on a daily basis. The basics are there and very solid, but by teaming with a very involved parent base, Wonderland provides an environment that is unsurpassed even when compared to the top independent schools in L.A. This is a truly great school.
Top notch academics. Well-rounded curriculum (art, music, PE, garden), close community and inspirational principal. A gem!
Wonderland is a jem of a public school, commonly referred to as the public education that feels like a private. Our Principal is the BEST, and thru parent fundraising we have an amazing arts/ science program, edible garden program, PE, music/ dance classes, librarian and much more. One of the best part about this school is the strong sense of community that is the driving force behind so many of the wonderful things that happen at Wonderland.
A gift to our children and our community. Strong, connected leadership, gifted, dedicated teaching staff, passionate, hard-working parent volunteers and a supportive community all play a role in the school's success. It's an on-going struggle but parent and community support for 'extras' like PE, art, music, science and additional staff development allows the students to have well-rounded education in an increasingly fiscally straightjacketed system.
Wonderland Elementary is a shining example of how a community can pull together and support it's youth. Financial support from parents and the community at large keeps programs like art, music, PE and our library running strong!
Fantastic! Our daughter is in the magnet program and she really did win the lottery. The teachers,the office staff , the principal, and the community make this the ideal public school.
Both of my sons went to Wonderland and it is a gem in the middle of this big ol city. Small, community oriented with an active parent body and dedicated teachers.
Dedicated staff and parents and a very intimate campus make Wonderland a shining star in the otherwise embattled LAUSD!

Leica's compact, wide-angle C-Lux 2
In the continuing tradition of Leica and Panasonic releasing fraternal-twin cameras, Leica is debuting its customized version of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30, which that company announced at the end of January.
As usual, Leica targets a slightly more upscale audience with its C-Lux 2, justifying the $150 price differential by bundling a 64MB SD card--are they still making them that small?--and a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements. Leica will also be offering a variety of leather cases as accessories.
Except for some minor cosmetic details, the 7-megapixel C-Lux 2 matches the FX30 pretty closely. It features a 28mm-100mm-equivalent, optically … Read more
