Re: Why did this device get so popular?
1. Why 3? I'm on my phone quite a bit and only needed to change my battery once a day
2. EBay batteries don't do nfc. I learned that the hard way after buying a battery that said nfc... I just went to a carrier store, bought another battery, then swapped them out and returned the eBay battery

Re: Why did this device get so popular?
Again, popular and aware are two different things.
Yes, the ads making iphone users look like sheep were good. They brought attention to the fact that there was an actual alternative to people that didnt know it. But I wouldnt say the ads making fun of people are the only reason they went to the store and bought the phone.
The ads got people interested, made them start asking questions (as Ry stated multiple times.) Questions are not the same as throwing money at a store clerk.
The underlying product has to hold up or else the marketing is just wasted effort.
Take the original Palm Pre for example. The (admittedly weird) marketing and journalist buzz that was generated prior to its release built it up to be called The iPhone killer." Then it released and everybody came to realize that it was a decent OS housed in a ****y phone. It went nowhere really and webOS is now just a skid mark in open-source die-hards tighty whities.
Marketing can polish a turd, but it cant make you want to buy a polished turd.
In any case, again if its all just marketing, does anyone have any suggestions for marketing campaigns or strategies that HTC might have employed more successfully to promote the HOX better than it was promoted?

Re: Why did this device get so popular?
THIS! There certainly has been some good campaigns out there like the Pre and others but if it doesn't stand up it will fizzle. Side note about marketing; One campaign I think that needs to be overhauled is the DNA campaign, just doesn't do it for me. And on subject a bit; IMO Apple is riding the wave and that wave is starting to fade and will soon come crashing down.
Re: Why did this device get so popular?
I can't say as I've really seen advertising for the DNA, but I don't really watch commercials.
I will add though that the marketing for the whole "Droid" thing seems to be done to death. I wasn't a big fan of it in the beginning. I mean, it obviously focused on targeting young males, but how many times a year do these people get their parents to buy them a new smartphone? I think it alienated a large section of the phone market. It basically stated, right in the commercial, "We acknowledge that the iphone is for everyone else!" and we are now seeing Google and friends starting to turn that ship around, years later.

Re: Why did this device get so popular?
No consumers ran out and bought S3s because it has expandable memory and a removable battery. lol.
Good marketing and building enough phones to be able to put the same physical phone in all carrier stores guaranteed a win for Samsung. Look at the Nexus 4, quad-core, great price unlocked - yet mainstream consumers probably have never even heard of it.a.k.a. RyZR from HoFo

Read all posts before trying to argue with everyone. Quote from first page.
No one denies the phone itself being good made people buy it. However..
Good marketing = people asking questions like what's that? Then.. Look at reviews from people who have phone.. Then throw money at the store clerk as you said.. Then they spread the word the device is good and it gets more popular.
No reason to try and argue what made it popular. A combination of things did. Get good marketing, a good device, and then word of mouth. Bam. Success.

Re: Why did this device get so popular?
It feels like people are looking for a killer feature or spec to explain how the S3 got so popular. There is really isn't one. Flooding the market with pretty much the same good phone behind strong marketing made the S3 popular. Dual-core/quad-core didn't do it on it's own. RAM didn't do it on it's own. Batteries didn't do it on it's own. S-beam didn't do it on it's own. Getting the word out about it did.

Re: Why did this device get so popular?
I thought I had.
From the first two pages (before all the pointless, You shouldnt want a removable battery" talk):
Strong advertising.
In general, the great unwashed masses don't know the difference between an iPhone and an Android device. But Samsung has been hitting the airwaves with enough ads to help people distinguish them .
Like others have said it's marketing. Sammy's ads have stuck out for me even before I got the s3
Samsung is really good at marketing. The other Android phone manufacturers need to follow there lead
Advertising and marketing. I enjoy the phone but it's really not that much better than HTCs offerings. The incredible advertising by Samsung just led you to believe so
Marketing surely plays a substantial role Samsung is the only phone company to compete with Apple in that regard .
Great marketing by Samsung, as most have already pointed out
Advertising, plain and simple .
Reading this thread - it makes me glad to see that people are recognizing advertising and marketing over raw specs...
I was just asking what they thought HTC could have done to "out market" Samsung if it was just down to the marketing departments to win the day.
And I'm sorry if you have the notion that I am trying to argue with you. I'm not. In fact it appears we share the same opinion, that Samsung just went out and successfully sold a good phone. Also, it should have been clear that the last sentence in the post that you quoted was not directly aimed at you, but at anyone that was proclaiming it was "just down to marketing." It wasn't a rhetorical question either. If anyone has thoughts on the notion, it would be interesting to hear.

Re: Why did this device get so popular?
I wasn't blaming you for "past baggage" I was stating that these battery argument threads are nothing new, and in any case, each side tends to think the other side is insane for their choice. Some people brought up the HOX to discuss an alternate point of view, and I did the same with the Maxx.
The counterpoints I have for removeable batteries is this: Charge your phone each night as you sleep. If you can't make a full day on one charge, buy a powerpack for the same cost as a spare battery. I think the vast majority of people have enough time that they can attach a powerpack to their phone to recharge at SOME point during the day. Or, buy a car dock that recharges the device if you travel. If you aren't on the road, then you should have access to a outlet if push comes to shove. Don't get me wrong, I will be the first to say that it's ridiculous to buy a MOBILE PHONE and then be tethered to a wall all day. However, my point is that there are options out there for people without removeable batteries that are not a big deal. I have a solar powered charger for camping for crying out loud. And it wasn't expensive.
The reason I brought up the Razr Maxx, is because Motorola realized that nonremoveable batteries were a bad deal in the Razr, so for heavy users they offer a Maxx option to meet their needs. Once the Maxx came out, I no longer required a removeable battery because A) I wouldn't keep my phone long enough for the battery to wear down, and B) I could EASILY make it through a full day and then charge the thing at night as I slept.
I should emphasize that my point is not that "Non-Removeable batteries" are BETTER, but that there are so many options for either design that it should in no way be a deal breaker because there are simple solutions for either device that is for all intents and purposes identical in terms of convenience and effectiveness. I own a GS3 and I love it. But the only time i've removed the back cover was to activate it, and to replace the back cover with a flip cover. I assure you my experience would not have been tarnished if the back was not removeable. - 01-03-2013, 12:23 PM #111
Re: Why did this device get so popular?
All valid points Legal American. If we actually were talking about the virtue of the batteries between the Razr Maxx vs the GSIII, I would be in complete agreement with you.
That said, we're talking about the HOX vs. the GSIII. The only point I am making here is that *as far as I can see* the non-replaceable battery on the HOX provides no advantage to the replaceable GSIII battery while eliminating the added flexibility of being able to take the battery out.
Yes, I get it that you can plug in and/or carry a spare external battery charger. But you can do those exact same things with the GSIII too. So they are in no way an "advantage" for the HOX. They're just an option available to both phones.
What advantage does the non-removable battery on the HOX offer? Or is there no advantage?
I remain of the opinion that there is no advantage to the non-removable battery in the HOX, when comparing it to the GSIII, only disadvantage. If you disagree, then I'd be interested to hear. But we're not talking about a bigger battery in a different phone, and were not talking about chargers and external batteries that any phone can make use of. We're talking about these two phones and why some people feel the GSIII has an advantage over the HOX in the battery compartment.
...And Ry, you don't have to follow along liking and thanking everybody that mentions using a battery charger. We all know you like battery chargers by now.

The S3 is beating the HOX in marketshare for me reasons than JUST marketing. They also released on FAR more carriers.Kevin F.I.M.T.K. O'Quinn Esq. - 01-03-2013, 01:03 PM #115
Re: Why did this device get so popular?
I think your last sentence nailed it Kevin. Availability...... everywhere.... (along with the marketing, the good phone overall, etc, etc.)
Re: Why did this device get so popular?
I think the differences between the OneX and the GS3 success is two fold; consistency in the device worldwide and marketing. It would be hard to argue one phone has substantially better features or build quality over the other to justify the dramatic differences in success.
World Consistency - This is a big one in my opinion and ties directly into the marketing. Physically speaking the device is identical with a the exception of the color variations across all carriers around the world. They all have the same user based features (CPU/GPU not withstanding) and allows for Samsung to run an advertising campaign everywhere that shows the same device a person can get on their carrier of choice. HTC has different variants of the same phone with different names and construction that does not build consistency. A person hears EVO 4G LTE or Incredible 4G or whatever other name variants they had and there is no tie in to the One X. The average user has no idea these are essentially the same phone and if they saw someone on a different carrier then they have they discount it as just another phone.
Marketing - Samsung has hit a home run with their marketing campaign. Unlike most other phone makers they handle a large amount of their own advertising which allows them to present the device as they see it and not how a carrier sees it. They advertise the features of the phone in possible real world situations and relate them to the customer. The family sharing photos/videos or Mrs Claus giving a special video for Santa on his journey are all funny and users can relate and identify with the use cases. That was always the brilliance around Apple advertising. They advertise us cases for their devices and not just the shiny parts inside them. This is where HTC really falls short. They typically let the carriers do their advertising for the phones and carriers could care less which phone they sell just as long as it gets you into the store and signing a contract. The HTC DNA is a perfect example of bad advertising. Sure it's all flashy and cool looking, but to the masses it tells them nothing about the phone other than technical specs that only the phone geeks care about.
Until HTC takes control of their own destiny and standardizes their flagship phones physically and does some of their own advertising that actually shows the innovations in the phone they will struggle against the forces of Apple and Samsung. Even Motorola (Razr M + Google Translate commercial) and LG (actor/director texting and viewing movie at same time on Optimus G) has started changing their advertising to speak more to how customers can use the device versus just what specs are. - 01-03-2013, 01:30 PM #117
Re: Why did this device get so popular?
In actuality, we're talking about why the GS3 got so popular. YOU have made this about the HOX. So no, I wont cater to just YOUR aspect of the conversation. If this was a thread titled: "GS3 vs. HOX" then yeah, I would either compare the two or move along with no comment.
I don't necessarily mean the powerpack is an advantage, so much as an alternate option that negates a DISADVANTAGE that others might attempt to portray.
I did get a chuckle over how adamant you are that this is your thread all about comparing the One X. Just because someone mentioned it a few pages back and you took it and ran, doesn't mean everyone must follow your path. I am broadening my contribution to the conversation into more of a "Non-Removeable vs. Removeable" within the realm of how it affected the popularity of the device. I wont limit myself to your 'boundaries' just because you've chosen to shape the discussion your own way.
That being said, I once again state my opinion that no one has the same needs. Therefore, one option is not better than the other because someone prefers a particular design aspect. Regardless of a comparison between the GS3, HOX, Maxx, or anything else. I am not here to say non-removeable is an advantage, but I will say that neither option is advantageous over the other because there's too many accessory options that level the playing field based on your preference. - 01-03-2013, 01:33 PM #118
Re: Why did this device get so popular?
Perhaps I mis-read the intentions of the OP when he stated:
i ended up with the One X and feel like i got the short end of the stick. People never recognize my phone as anything special and i constantly wonder why the One X has been forgotten and is such an underdog while the S3 dominated in popularity?
In any case, if you don't want to answer the question I put forth, that's cool. I wasn't asking anyone to "cater" to my anything. Just asking a question during a conversation.
Have a good one.

Re: Why did this device get so popular?
That was one aspect of the question that he was posing with the title and the body of his post. You chose to focus entirely on that one aspect, I chose to focus on the broad question that was posed. It's totally fine with me, i'm just saying that I am not responsible for keeping my responses specific to your boundaries.
Beside all of that, I already told you that I am not saying one choice is better than the other in terms of battery advantages or disadvantages. So there's really nothing to debate. I am simply stating that for every "disadvantage" that someone might bring up, there is an accessory out there in the wild that negates it and evens out. - 01-03-2013, 02:55 PM #123
Re: Why did this device get so popular?
I would also argue that in most cases there are no real advantages of a non removable battery. To me it is largely just a matter of personal preference. I suppose if a person were to pay an extreme amount of attention to detail that a phone with a non-removable battery could be a more "solidly built" device, but that doesn't really qualify in the GS3 vs HOX debate as all Samsung phones are likely to be a variant of plastic which has a somewhat cheaper feel to some people. The only case where I could see it being an advantage is if the manufacturer was linking multiple smaller batteries laid out around the other circuit boards to add additional capacity that would not be available with a single battery block.
As for this ongoing back and forth, the above quote sums up what I see the issue as stemming from. Ry appears to be saying it is his opinion that a user-replaceable battery shouldn't be a big deal. The problem is that statement is dictating that in his opinion no one should make a big deal about a non-removable battery and that is where the problem lies. it is a blanket statement that says other people shouldn't care about this. Suntan is saying that to make an all inclusive statement based on your personal experiences and opinions is presumptuous and won't apply to everyone. Some will find it important and some won't. A person can make the statement that they don't find something as a reason to not buy a device, and that is fine, but we should not imply our needs are those of everyone else. That is what makes Android great compared to Apple devices. There are device types for everyone and not a one size fits all mentality.
Now unless I am way off base can we move past the merits of a removable battery? - 01-03-2013, 04:08 PM #124
Re: Why did this device get so popular?
I did. I love controlling how much and what I keep on my SD. I also would rather be able to swap batteries as I hate having an umbilical and 2 device to charge. I would also rather if my battery took a dump, I not have to send my phone out for repair. I also hope that when the new battery technology hits, they make a compatible battery for my phone.
I started with iPhone then I bought a thunderbolt and found out the positives that Android had to offer. I got a RAZR to replace my thunderbolt and absolutely hated not being able to just switch batteries.
One thing that has absolutely pissed me off was trying to get a battery and charger for the s3 from VZW after I lost my other ones. I told them if it wasn't an iPhone or droid branded they didn't have a damn thing for it. I have to get mine from sprint.
I think this s3 has opened a lot of eyes to android. It is by far the bast phone I've had to date. The features, ease of use, and dependability has made it a home run for me.

command wrappersFor each of the mixvm
commands listed in Commands, there is
a corresponding Scheme function named by prefixing the command name with
(e.g., mix-load
, mix-run
and so on). These
command wrappers are implemented using a generic command dispatching
Dispatchs the given command to the MIX virtual appending the provided argument. Both command and
must be strings. The net result is as writing "command argument" at themixvm
command prompt.
For instance, you can invoke the run
command at the mixvm
prompt in three equivalent ways:
MIX > run hello MIX > (mix-run "hello") MIX > (mixvm-cmd "run" "hello")
(only the two last forms can be used at the mixguile
prompt or
inside a Scheme script).
The mix-
functions evaluate to a unspecified value. If you want
to check the result of the last mixvm
command invocation, use the
Returns #t if the last
command invocation was successful, #f otherwise.
#! /usr/bin/mixguile \ -e main -s !# ;;; Execute a given program and print the registers. (define main (lambda (args) ;; load the file provided as a command line argument (mix-load (cadr args)) ;; execute it if mix-load succeeded (if (mix-last-result) (mix-run)) ;; print the contents of registers if the above commands succeded (if (mix-last-result) (mix-pall))))
Please, refer to Commands for a list of available commands. Given
the description of a mixvm
, it is straightforward to use its
Scheme counterpart and, therefore, we shall not give a complete
description of these functions here. Instead, we will only mention those
wrappers that exhibit a treatment of their differing from that of their
command counterpart.
The argument register of these functions can be either a string or a symbol representing the desired register. For instance, the following invocations are equivalent:
(mix-preg 'I1) (mix-preg "I1")
The command
takes a single argument which can be either a cell number or a range of the formFROM-TO
. This function takes one argument to ask for a single memory cell contents, or two parameters to ask for a range. For instance, the following commands are equivalent:MIX > pmem 10-12 0010: + 00 00 00 00 00 (0000000000) 0011: + 00 00 00 00 00 (0000000000) 0012: + 00 00 00 00 00 (0000000000) MIX > (mix-pmem 10 12) 0010: + 00 00 00 00 00 (0000000000) 0011: + 00 00 00 00 00 (0000000000) 0012: + 00 00 00 00 00 (0000000000) MIX >
The command
takes as argument either the stringT
or the stringF
, to set, respectively, the overflow toggle to true or false. Its Scheme counterpart,mix-sover
, takes as argument a Scheme boolean value:#t
(true) or#f
For the remaining functions, you simply must take into account that when the command arguments are numerical, the corresponding Scheme function takes as arguments Scheme number literals. On the other hand, when the command argument is a string, the argument of its associated Scheme function will be a Scheme string. By way of example, the following invocations are pairwise equivalent:
MIX > load ../samples/hello MIX > (mix-load "../samples/hello") MIX > next 5 MIX > (mix-next 5)

They listened!
Dear Editor:
Last week the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee took an important step to address the rapidly expanding Alzheimer's epidemic. Thanks in part to your advocacy, Senate leaders from both parties spoke to the importance of investing now to address the skyrocketing costs of this devastating disease.
On Tuesday the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies voted to include $104 million for Alzheimer's disease in its fiscal year 2014 funding bill. And earlier today the full Senate Appropriations Committee also voted to support this increased funding for essential research and caregiver support.
This is a step in the right direction, though a far cry from what is still needed. Last year alone, approximately 300 million was spent nationally on research. Not to mention the financial burden for patients, families and caregivers, for the most part is not covered by insurance plans.
I urge you to continue to reach out to Sen. Graham and Sen. Scott and thank them for their progress being made, though there is still the critical continued financial need in the area of both research and support for patients and caregivers.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Chris Brinkley's quest for the perfect Christmas gift landed him and his wife Karen a role in The Charleston Ballet and West Virginia Symphony Orchestra's production of "The Nutcracker" this weekend. Chris wanted to surprise Karen and knew how much she enjoyed dancing "The Nutcracker" as a child and teenager, so he boldly asked artistic director and choreographer Kim Pauley for a spot in the performance.
"When he called to see if they could participate in 'The Nutcracker,' he explained that she is a former dancer and that he's danced socially," said Pauley. "He's actually doing pretty well."
Chris, a lawyer, probably won't be as comfortable on the Clay Center stage as his wife when they welcome guests to the opening party scene. Karen danced nearly every role in "The Nutcracker" during her 10 years with a company in their hometown of Bartlesville, Okla.
The couple, now residing in Charleston, were close friends in junior and high school, but despite his persistent efforts to date her, she never wanted to be more than friends.
"The first time I saw her in 1980 was one of those jaw-dropping moments," he said. "For five years, she kept telling me no when I asked her out. We were wonderfully good friends."
After her family moved to Iowa, he lost touch with Karen. Both of them moved around the country, married other people and had children, but he never forgot her.
They hadn't heard from each other in 23 years when a mutual friend connected them on Facebook in 2009. Both were single. He lived in Charleston, and she in Des Moines. The day he contacted her on Facebook, they chatted online for hours, then switched to five-hour phone conversation.

Jackson Apologizes On Instagram About Ibaka Comments
Written by Jose Grijalva on .
San Antonio Spurs' Stephen Jackson has responded to his controversial comments regarding Oklahoma City Thunder's Serge Ibaka on his Instagram page:
Jackson is no stranger to controversy and this may have been done at the advisement of the San Antonio Spurs, who are already dealing with controversies with "Restgate" and a photo with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and a Joey Crawford impersonator floating around the internet.
@RedsArmy_John feels like the NBA world is upside down w/SAS being all in the headlines for the wrong reasons: Restgate, TD TP pic, now this
@sa2ny2004 @RedsArmy_John The Lakers are terrible, the Clippers are looking awesome... what world are we in?
@ReyGMoralde @RedsArmy_John yeah. what's next? Bonner with an in game monster dunk? Oh wait it happened... http://t.co/aXlNuC2v
@tonypains Sí. De hecho eso lo publicó antes de conocer la multa (seguramente una forma de "atenuarla" un poco)
Serge has had this coming with the antics he pulls in games taunting players with hand gestures and such. I just wish SJax would focus his anger towards Ibaka and the Thunder more with his play than with his mouth.
Just shows how much respect Jax got for the Spurs Organization. I'm sure Timmy or Pops had a talk with him and he responded. Respect to Jax!
@sa2ny2004 like if he really was going to do something too him... The world has turned "soft" man, what started all this?

You are here
Getting Started With Homeopathy
It's easy to get started with homeopathy. You don't need to be an expert in anatomy, physiology, or pharmacology.
You only need to be able to observe your and your family's symptoms and any changes you might see in those symptoms. By using the information on this site you can quickly learn enough about homeopathy to use it at home to care for yourself and your family to address minor illnesses and injuries that don't necessarily need a doctor's care.
However, it takes more knowledge to appropriately treat chronic issues. Please consult a professional trained in homeopathy to address chronic issues. Use our online Professional and Organizational Directory to find a homeopath near you.
Using Homeopathy at Home
Follow the steps below to begin treating minor illnesses or first aid issues with homeopathy:
- First observe the symptoms. Pay special attention to any that are unusual or exceptionally strong. Notice whether there has been a change in mood and what behaviors or environmental factors seem to make symptoms better or worse. You may want to write your observations down.
- Next, take your list of symptoms and compare it to the descriptions of the remedies for that illness. Choose the remedy that most closely fits the symptoms (keeping in mind that not every symptom has to match.)
- Homeopathic remedies come in various strengths: the 6c, 12c, and 30c strengths are gentle and perfect for home use. For most acute conditions treated at home, a 30c potency is ideal.
- Once you have selected the remedy, give one dose ( 3-5 pellets) under the tongue and then WAIT and OBSERVE. If there is no improvement at all within a few hours give another dose.
- If after 3 doses there is no change then it is likely time to try a different remedy or contact a healthcare professional.
- Don't give up if your symptoms don't improve with the first remedy. It sometimes takes a couple of tries to find the "best match" remedy for your symptoms – especially if you're new to homeopathy. If you continue to have difficulty finding the right remedy for your symptoms, make sure to consult a homeopathic professional.
How Often to Take a Remedy
Conventional medicines are usually taken on a regular basis – every 4 hours or every 6 hours for example. Homeopathy is very different. In homeopathy, a remedy is only taken as needed – and no longer taken once you start to improve. How often a remedy is taken can vary depending on whether the illness is acute or chronic:
- An acute condition is one that lasts for a short time but can begin quickly and have intense symptoms.
- A chronic disease is persistent. It lasts for a long period of time and might recur.
As mentioned above, most acute conditions treated at home, a 30c potency is ideal. In some cases, such as severe muscle pain from overuse or sports injury, a dose of Arnica 200c, for example, may be appropriate. However, most conditions will resolve quite well using 30c potencies.
Once you have selected the remedy, give one dose ( 3-5 pellets) under the tongue and then WAIT and OBSERVE. If there is no improvement at all within a few hours give another dose. If after 3 doses there is no change then it is likely time to try a different remedy or contact a healthcare professional.
A chronic condition is best treated by a professional practitioner and in these cases the remedy is most often given only once at the outset of treatment. This is followed by a period of observation to allow the patient and homeopath to observe changes that may occur as a result of the remedy.
When to Consult a Professional
Remember – not all illnesses should be treated at home. If you are having difficulties finding the right remedy for an illness at home, it's a good idea to consult with a professional homeopath to help identify the right remedy. Also, chronic illnesses or ailments should always be treated by a trained professional. Use our Practitioner Directory to find a homeopath near you:

Watson's Built to Shoulder Expectations
Jan 25, 2013
By Jason Karnosky
For better or for worse, expectations are high for National Hockey League first-round draft picks, even though many top choices don't pan out.
But that burden weighs a little bit heavier on Milwaukee Admirals rookie forward Austin Watson, due to the simple fact that he represents the Nashville Predators most recent first-round selection as the 18th overall pick in the 2010 NHL entry draft.
Luckily for Watson, he carries the broad shoulders necessary to carry the load.
"There's no question that (Austin) has the right makeup physically and mentally to be an effective NHL player," said Milwaukee coach Dean Evason said. "You never really know the timeframe with these guys, but his desire to be a pro will allow Watson to get to the next level."
Watson's drive likely stems from his unique family background. Austin is the oldest of 10 kids to parents Mike and Mary of Ann Arbor, Michigan. With such a full house, sibling rivalries certainly ran hot at times for the Watsons growing up.
"It was pretty crazy at home and the numbers were obviously pretty high," Watson said. "But (my siblings) all are good kids and we all really enjoy each other."
Growing up in a family that large, it was difficult for the Ann Arbor native to leave home and pursue a professional hockey career. However, Watson preserved, maturing as a player and person through an extensive journey in the Ontario Hockey League, which saw him make stops in Windsor, Peterborough and London, while changing squads twice in mid-season.
"As hockey players we are expected to grow up pretty quickly because were all moving away from home, some earlier than others," Watson said. "That forces you to learn how to handle some things on your own like the travel and the grind of a long schedule."
Watson began to stand out during the 2010-2011 season, racking 34 goals and 68 points with the Petes. But he also posted a trying minus-38 rating on a struggling Peterborough team that finished 20-45-1-2 and in second-to-last place in the 20-team OHL.
The lone bright spot of that campaign for Watson came that spring when he dressed in his first five professional regular season games for Milwaukee. Watson followed that up with another three more appearances in the American Hockey League playoffs as Admirals fell in seven games to arch rival Chicago.
Buoyed by the experience, Watson evolved into a more dynamic player the following year, starting the season with Peterbourgh before being picked up for the Memorial Cup stretch run by London.
Watson was at his best during the Knights 19-game playoff run, scoring 10 goals and finishing with 17 points as London captured an OHL championship. The forward then finished as the seventh leading scorer during the Memorial Cup playoffs, but his Knights fell 2-1 in overtime to Shawinigan in the final.
"I expected Austin to transition well because I knew he played under Dale Hunter (in London)," said Evason, who coached alongside Hunter in Washington. "When you come from that kind of environment maybe your development is a little bit quicker than your competition."
Against the backdrop of the pending lockout, Watson turned professional in the summer of 2012 with the goal of making Nashville out of training camp. With the NHL season delayed, the 6-3, 202 lbs. center went down to Milwaukee to soak up everything the Admirals coaches could teach him.
Like most players Watson endured an adjustment period to the pace of play in the AHL. But the rookie came into his own in November, racing to the top of the Admirals leading scorers by piling up six goals and 11 points.
"The AHL's a hard league to play in, especially with the quality of players that were here this year due to the lockout," Watson said. "But the guys have been great helping me adjust to the professional lifestyle and the game. (Plus) I've had some good linemates (so) that's made the (transition) process that much easier."
Through Milwaukee's extensive home stretch during the next two months, Watson's points faded, but the tenacious forward still found himself on the score sheet at key times, including a game winner in the final two minutes of the Admirals 4-3 come from behind victory over the Wolves on January 3.
"It's nice to score some big goals for this team," Watson said. "I wasn't touted as a prolific goal scorer coming out of juniors, but I've been fortunate enough to get some good bounces. I'm thankful to be put out in those situations and to get the chance to play with the game on the line."
Watson's teammates noticed right away how well the rookie handled the pressure of his lofty expectations.
"(Watson's) a big investment for Nashville and he knows that and we all know that," Admirals forward and frequent linemate Chris Mueller said. "But he's mature as a player and taking advantage of the opportunities afforded to him. (Austin's) getting on the power play more, getting opportunities to score goals, but he's also playing well defensively."
To date Watson has 21 points to lead all Milwaukee rookies, and ranks as the third leading scorer on the team. He picked up his 14th goal of the season last night against Houston to lead all Admirals and ranks amongst the scoring leaders for first year skaters.
"Ever since we've moved (Watson) to center ice, he's just been a nice fit for us alongside Chris Mueller and Mark Van Guilder," Evason said. "(Austin) provides us not only with some offensive flair, but he also kills penalties, takes big face-offs and does all those little things—the details that we like and obviously Nashville is going to like in the future."
Like his teammates, the points slowed down for Watson in recent weeks, as Milwaukee struggled to adjust to post-lockout life without three of its leaders, defensemen Jonathon Blum and Ryan Ellis and forward Gabriel Bourque. But Mueller knows it won't be long before Watson joins him in gaining valuable NHL experience with the Predators.
"(Austin's) game just has to continue to evolve," Mueller said. "As long as (Watson) keeps progressing and getting better, and remember he's just a young kid, he will have a great opportunity to play in the National Hockey League someday."
One thing Watson needs to do is work on improving his reaction time and his overall play. The latter is really coming along, as the forward continues to compete as a plus player in the AHL (currently a plus-two). Now the newly minted 21-year-old has to bear down and learn to respond faster to developing plays.
"(Watson's) a mature guy, both mentally and physically, and he's not far off being ready for the NHL," Evason said. "He needs to get a step in his game as far as quickness and that's something he's aware of and working on constantly. If he does that he's going to develop into a really good professional and hopefully a really good NHL player."
Watson wants to take that next step in his game so that Nashville coach Barry Trotz is willing to call on him to compete with the Predators.
"I think everything is coming along nicely," Watson said. "There are games where I could have played better and things I can improve on, but there will be decisions to be made in the future (on who gets called up). It's up to all of us here in Milwaukee to play our best and be ready for that opportunity."
Until that time Watson wants to assist his Admirals teammates in turning things around in Milwaukee.
"If I get called up, that's great because our ultimate goal is to play in the National Hockey League," Watson said. "But for right now each day I'm working at getting better and helping out our team."

mélange (mā-läɴzh') Pronunciation Key
A metamorphic rock formation created from materials scraped off the top of a downward moving tectonic plate in a subduction zone. Mélanges occur where plates of oceanic crust subduct beneath plates of continental crust, as along the western coast of South America. They consist of intensely deformed marine sediments and ocean-floor basalts and are characterized by the lack of regular strata, the inclusion of fragments and blocks of various rock types, and the presence of minerals that form only under high pressure and low temperature conditions. |

Of course you can. Anti Christ is a commonly used concept to reference an entity that will defeat Christianity and dominate the world with its own belief. And, Muslims say that all the time...they want to transform the world either willingly or unwillingly to Islam...but unlike Southern Baptists, Islamic missionaries carry bombs, missles, swords for beheading...and YOU WILL bow down to Mohammad. Christianity is a religion of peace and love, and although Muslims claim the same, in practice Islam is a very backward, archic, stiffling, violent religion that seeks domination by force if necessary...no accepting Jesus as your Savior, no baptism....off with your head if you don't swear loyalty to Mohammad.

Diner Reviews
A must stop when visiting New
Orleans. Not the typical, but certainly the best!"
Dined on 3/11/2014
A beautiful restaurant with
wonderful food. What an excellent establishment. It is one of a handful of places in New Orleans with a view of the water."
Dined on 3/7/2014
Great Paella, tapas, wonderful
view of the river and great service. Can't wait to go back"
Dined on 2/27/2014
Attentive service, excellent food.
A bit hard to find (alley entrance, second story), but certainly worth it."

My girlfriend and I arrived at
Galvez, we saw that there were about 9 other couples standing by the door still waiting to be seated. I checked in with the hostess and she said that they were running behind. We had a 9pm reservation, and at 9:45pm, as we still waited for a table, a random stranger came and told me that she and her husband had been seated for an hour and a half and still hadn't received there appetizers. When the time go to be 10:30pm, an hour and a half after our reservation, and we still did not have a table, we decided to leave and give up on eating. The following Monday, I emailed the restaurant to make them aware of how the night transpired, and they didn't respond at all. Beware of this poorly run restaurant."
Dined on 2/14/2014
It was Valentines night and my
wife and I had reservations for 9:15 p.m. Apparently, there was a wreck that caused a number of patrons to miss their earlier reservations and the restaurant was thoughtful enough to allow those individuals to check in later. However, this delayed those of us who had later reservations. Once again I commend the restaurant for honoring the earlier reservations. The problem with honoring those reservations was there was only one hostess who ran around like a chicken with her cut off trying to accommodate everyone. She did a fantastic job. However, the restaurant should consider having an additional hostess."
Dined on 2/14/2014
A quality family owned restaurant
with delicious Spanish (not mexican) food with a New Orleans flair. Highly recommend. The service was fantastic even on a busy Valentines Day night! Will send my friends and family. Great for a romantic night or with friends."
Dined on 2/14/2014
This restaurant was an extreme
disappointment. Food was ok at best, service was totally non-exist. Took over an hour between each course, had to beg for service, left very thirsty because we could not get anyone to order a drink. Just a total disaster. Never again. Don't waste your time; and it will be a lot of your time for a less than average meal."
Dined on 2/14/2014
This was our second visit to
Galvez, and it was on Valentine's Day. Galvez is a nice restaurant with good food. The view is ridiculously good at night, as compared to other French Quarter restaurants. Very romantic. Quiet. Good service, but slow. Food good, not inspired. But here's the problem. When the restaurant called to confirm our Open Table res, I was informed that the Valentine's Day menu was prix fixe. Fine. We don't like prix fixe menus, so I asked if we could order a la carte. Had the caller said "No", we would have politely declined our Valentine's reservation and moved on, possibly reserving later in the weekend (we wanted to dine at Galvez). She said "yes". And when we showed up, they said "no". We walked out."
Dined on 2/14/2014
A beautiful romantic setting with
excellent food. Is nice and quiet with an outstanding view of the river. It's European style dining is unhurried and relaxed. For their Valentine's Special Dinner all of that was true. However our waiter seemed to be dealing with quite a few errors coming from the kitched and magified the problems by his method of handling them. While we had no problems with our food. we had to request our second course after waiting 30 minutes after our appetizer plates were picked up. Again it took another 35 minutes from the time we requested our check until we were finally able to leave. in both instances it seems our waiter simply forgot about us while dealing with other issues."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The restaurant was too open and
too bright. They seemed understaffed when the bartender and server took turns waiting on us. The food was good, but the portions were on the small side. The server was friendly but def. inexperienced in the fine dining industry. Staff members could be heard laughing and cutting up right next to the customers. While the view of the river was nice, I'm not sure I will be back. For $25-30 entrees, there are far too many wonderful places I would go to before returning. When you're going up against some of the best restaurants in the country, you have to be on your A game."
Dined on 2/13/2014
If you can get a window seat you
can watch the river change colors at sunset while you drink the best white wine sangria I have ever had. Attentive and truly helpful service. It's hard to find a tapas restaurant where 8 of 8 dishes were superb, but this one missed only by a hair. Definitely a come back to place."
Dined on 2/9/2014
Although they were slammed and
short-staffed the evening we went, the hostess and server/bartender went out of their way to give us a lovely evening and more than made up for any delays. One of the members in our party has a service dog and they immediately brought over a bowl of water for our extra guest!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
We got last minute reservations
for a late Christmas dinner and the food was awesome! The view is stunning, the place is beautiful and romatic. The Chef/owner came out and spoke with us and she was so sweet"
Dined on 12/25/2013
We had a wonderful time for New
Years Eve here. Food was great and the view is perfect for the fireworks from the barge. The staff is very accommodating and the owner goes out of her way to make sure everyone is taken care of."
Dined on 12/31/2013
My husband and I were truly
looking forward to dinning at Galvez, but were instantly disappointed. We had reservations for Christmas Day and arrived on time. We had to wait for our table. The first room you enter was ok. there was a piano player and the room was decorated nicely. However, we were given a table in an adjoining room that had the atmosphere of a hospital cafeteria The room was all white, bare walls, no Christmas decorations at all. The service was very slow and the food was just ok. We have been visiting New Orleans every year for the past six years and we will not visit Galvez again."
Dined on 12/25/2013
My husband & I went there
Christmas Eve. We were so disappointed in the whole experience. It took 15 min before anybody came to wait on us then another 20 min to get a drink. We finally got our food an hour later & was very disappointed. I got the Paella(?) first to try it. Ate about 3 bites. It tasted like a mushy jambalaya. The restaurant has a great view but the food was not that great."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Appetizer never arrived. People
watching iPhone videos loudly. Server unaware of need to replenish knives, forks, spoons for new courses. Server left wine bottle on table instead in table-side container. Extra-long wait for food. Not especially impressive."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Restaurant was lovely for dinner
on Christmas day. Had the Paella de Mariscos, and it was fantastic. My family was very happy with the whole experience. Lovely view."
Dined on 12/25/2013
We opted for an early reservation
(4 p.m.) on Dec. 27. To our happiness, we had the entire restaurant to ourselves as the staff began setting up for another evening. Our waiter gave us considerable attention, and his recommendations, particularly to try the house hot sauce, amplified our enjoyment. Wonderful location, as we had a table that faced the Mississippi, and we were entertained by the Natchez paddle boat, as well four or five cargo ships. The gumbo was divine, as were each of the 5 tapas that we shared (roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, sausage balls, grilled chicken, and crab cakes. Chocolate cake for dessert. We waddled back to our French Quarter hotel content and stress free."
Dined on 12/27/2013
I ate here with my sister. It
would definitely more suitable for couples. The white wine sangria was not good at all. Our waiter was new, but very friendly. The food was not the best, but wasn't bad. I'm glad that I tried it, however, I don't feel the need to return."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Fantastic service and food. The
view is remarkable as well. Try the sangria you won't be disappointed."
Dined on 12/25/2013
I was given a perfect spot with a
view of the Mississippi River Bridge on Christmas Day. The waiter, Joshua, was immediately attentive without being annoying or overbearing. My choice was the 4-course Revillion menu and it was a bargain. Quinoa salad, gumbo, paella and flan for dessert. I couldn't eat everything, but my leftovers were attractively packaged for takeaway. This was everything I had hoped it would be for Christmas Day and more."
Dined on 12/25/2013
This was our first time at Galvez.
We had Christmas dinner there and loved it!!! The food was excellent as was the service! Looking forward to returning to New Orleans and having brunch there next time. We have already recommended it to family and friends!"
Dined on 12/25/2013
Good service-had the Reveillion
meal. 45$ -good price for what we got. We ate in the big room on the right. Beautiful room and view but very noisy-needed some sound deadening. Our waiter was very sweet . The owner checked frequently which was very nice."
Dined on 12/25/2013
From the moment we arrived we were
treated with superb service by everyone. The owners were actively engaged with guests assuring that every need was met. Food was very good and abundant. The restaurant was noisy but cheery. Would certainly recommend this restaurant."
Dined on 12/25/2013
We were celebrating my adult son's
birthday and we had a great experience! The food was excellent, I think we tried almost everything on the menu. The sangria is uniquely tastey! The weather was nasty so the place was not crowded. We had lots of attention from the staff, they were very entertaining! The veiws were fantastic. My only complaint is it is a little difficult to find."
Dined on 12/6/2013
The food was tasty, nicely
presented, and the right temperature but not particularly noteworthy. And while the restaurant touts a superb view of the Port of New Orleans, the view is probably best seen before sunset. Otherwise the only discernible feature is a bridge and the occasional passing barge. Reflection off the glass renders everything else indistinguishable. Finding the restaurant is a chore (its located in the same range of buildings housing Cafe du Monde et. al.}, and you take an elevator to it; the elevator door opens and you find yourself staring immediately at the diners. The ambience approximates a Holiday Inn restaurant's. It is not intimate. The staff overcomes these drawbacks with friendly attentive service."
Dined on 11/27/2013
Made a reservation, probably did
not need one. Seated in a corner booth overlooking the Missippi, lovely and thoughtful of the hostess. Wait staff was excellent, helpful, friendly and very accommodating. Enjoyed the sangria, immensely, although it had a mulling spice flavor,different in taste from what we were accustomed to. Ordered Tapas and Special Entrée. Enjoyed it all, especially the sauce on the entrée."
Dined on 11/21/2013
This is a beautiful spot, but the
food and prices leave much to be desired. If you want to experience this location, just have an over-priced drink at the bar. The portion size and food flavor were poor. All of the staff were very nice, but the meal was quite disappointing."
Dined on 11/28/2013
In a city that abounbs with
amazing sights, oddly there are no restaurants with a view of the Mighty Mississippi. Except Galvez, which has a commanding panoramic 2nd floor view frok its location just by the river. The viewcis fantastic, the restarant has an intimate romantic feel. The food is Spanish, and Spanish influenced, refreshing in a city where much of the food is French, Cajun or Creole. The service is excellent. A very nice dining experience."
Dined on 11/12/2013
Every tapas dish we received was
better than the next. One of the best meals that we've had in a long time. The service was great with a very attentive staff. And the view has to be the best of any restaurant in New Orleans, overlooking the Mississippi River. The balcony is great for after dinner drinks. A very romantic destination. Highly recommended."
Dined on 10/19/2013
It is so hard to say good things
in New Orleans about food when it is all so good but this was truly amazing! The tapas were amazing and the dinners were the best we had in NOLA. The views over the river were also wonderful."
Dined on 10/26/2013
A beautifully restored Spanish
club feel with an entire wall of riverfront view. Perfect for a romantic evening or special occasion, and capable of handling large groups. The paella and tapas were exquisitely prepared, and service was outstandingly friendly and charming, as well as prompt and timely. The wine list is affordable and contains some fine selections from Argentina and Chile. Plan on returning to try more dishes. Definitely a "two thumbs up" dining experience."
Dined on 10/24/2013
We went during restaurant week and
the menu options looked amazing. Upon arrival we were seated right away, however, once our server came over to review options, he promptly left to address another "situation" happening a few tables away. When he returned to take our order, he informed us that the one of the items was no longer available, so now we had to re-review menu and make alternate selection. It took FOREVER for the food to come out and although we ordered our desserts when we placed our dinner order, we waited 45 minutes and no one ever came by to give an explanation. It was the worst experience ever - poor service, poor management, poor delivery, poor manners, and I could go on and on...would not recommend this place to any one."
Dined on 9/14/2013
The view of the river and gno
brige are breathtaking, the food is great and service comendable. The only issue I ha was that besides us there was no one other then us in the resuraunt which was quite strange especially in New Orleans."
Dined on 10/9/2013
The view of the bridge and river
is breathtaking and only matched by the wonderful service and food!"
Dined on 5/4/2013
Galvez had some very good food
(not great) but we loved the tapas concept as we just had six small plates and split them and that was even better than an entree as we were able to split a variety of things. Also had the beet salad, My wife does not like blue cheese but for some reason works in this salad and she loved it. Wine list is very limited but has a very good selection including the Ramspeck Pinot Noir."
Dined on 10/5/2013
Daughter Celebrated a birthday and
really enjoyed it. Food was well prepared and staff attentive. This was conversation for a week."
Dined on 8/3/2013
If you like wonderful food, great
cocktails, and being treated like royalty, then you will love Galvez! The menu is all small plates, and perfect for sharing. All the dishes were wonderful! They do house made infused liquors, and I tried the pineapple infused rum punch. Very delicious! But the true star of the evening was our wonderful server Alphe. He is a rare gem in the fine dining industry! His genuine warmth and kindness, combined with impecable serving skills, and vast knowledge of the impressive menu, ensure you will feel pampered! Alphe is such a treat I would love this place even without the great food! I should also mention the great view of the river at night! To top it off, the prices are very reasonable! LOVE IT!!!"

By Kate Gibson, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks rose on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 index posting its longest monthly win streak since September 2009, as investors cheered corporate earnings and ongoing monetary stimulus.
The bull market, which entered a fifth year in March, has been "driven by strong earnings and three rounds of bond purchases by the [Federal Reserve]," said Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management in Des Peres, Mo.
'It (order that caused mini flash crash of Symantec stock) wasn't necessarily an erroneous trade, as we're not aware of any requests to have it removed or retracted. In this case, they did mean to sell it, but skipped a few important steps.'
Chris Paden, Symantec Corp.
Skrainka and other analysts also cited the market's lofty levels as part of Tuesday's equation, which had the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.41% falling as much as 84 points and rising as much as 21, and the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.51% trading in a 10-point range on either side of neutral.
"We're coming off a peak," said Alan Skrainka, who chalked up the day's action to the "normal ebb and flow" of the equities market.
On Tuesday, the S&P 500 added 3.96 points to a record-high close of 1,597.57, with health-care companies driving losses and technology the best performing of its 10 major industry sectors.
The S&P 500 gained 1.8% in April, marking the index's longest winning run since a seven-month stretch that ended in September 2009.
"There's some technical resistance right at the high," Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, said of the 1,593.61 close by the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.51% on Monday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.41% added 21.05 points to 14,839.80, leaving it up 1.8% for the month.
Blue-chip losses were led by Pfizer Inc. /quotes/zigman/238207/delayed/quotes/nls/pfe PFE +0.09% , after the drug manufacturer cut its 2013 profit outlook and reported first-quarter earnings that missed Wall Street estimates.
International Business Machines Corp. /quotes/zigman/230066/delayed/quotes/nls/ibm IBM +0.20% gained after the computer-services provider hiked its dividend and approved a $5 billion share buyback.
The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP -0.63% rose 21.77 points to 3,328.79, with the tech-laden index climbing 1.9% in April.
Apple Inc. /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed/quotes/nls/aapl AAPL +0.97% shares surged after the iPhone maker detailed a six-part bond offering in a regulatory filing on Tuesday. Read story about potential impact on the bond market.

Born in England in 1971, Martin Freeman acted in a number of British television series before his big break, being cast as Tim Canterbury on the BBC series The Office. Since then, he has become known for roles in films like Love Actually and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012).
"Acting is the only thing I'm even vaguely good at, and acting is something that I think I do know about."
Early Career
Born in Aldershot, England on September 8, 1971, actor Martin Freeman grew up near London as the youngest of five children. His parents split up when he was little, and he lost his father when he was only 10 years old. Freeman attended Catholic school before enrolling at the Central School of Speech and Drama. In his early career, he performed in several productions at London's National Theatre.
In 2001, Freeman had a major career breakthrough with the British television series The Office. Created by Ricky Gervais, the comedy proved to be a big hit. Freeman especially endeared himself to audiences with his portrayal of Tim Canterbury, a lovable, underachieving sales rep with a crush on the company's receptionist.
Freeman has also won over audiences with roles on the silver screen. In 2003, he was part of an all-star ensemble cast in the romantic comedy Love Actually. In 2005, he appeared in the film adaptation of Douglas Adams's novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
In Recent Years
Freeman enjoyed another wave of television success with Sherlock, which debuted in 2010. In this modern-day reimagining of the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he played Dr. John Watson, the trusty aide to master detective Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberpatch). Freeman won a BAFTA award in 2011 and received an Emmy Award nomination in 2012 for his work on the series.
Taking on another literary role, Freeman was cast as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This film, directed by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, is slated to be released in December 2012. The actor has been cast to play the same character in two follow-up films of The Hobbit franchise, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smog and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, which are planned to hit theaters in 2013 and 2014, respectively. The film series is based on the award-winning fantasy novel by famed English writer J.R.R. Tolkien, who also wrote the well-received Lord of the Rings book series.
Personal Life
Freeman lives in Hertfordshire, England, with his partner, actress Amanda Abbington. The couple has two children together.

Can You Take Me Higher?
"It is well that we are here." Luke 9: 33
Peter, James, and John saw our Lord's glory. The glory of Jesus' divinity manifested through the sacred humanity he had assumed, and the disciples desired to stay with Jesus on the mountain. However, neither Jesus, nor the disciples, could stay. This is because Jesus had to suffer, die, and then rise. He had to accomplish the Father's will and so redeem fallen mankind. The disciples, for their part, had to suffer too. They would have to witness their master being brutally killed, but also become witnesses of his resurrection and so proclaim Christ's victory over sin and death to all the world, even amidst persecution. This suffering thus meant that they would have to accept and carry their own crosses, as they not only watch him suffer, but also endure persecution and trials for proclaiming the truth. And so he gave them this graced moment of his Transfiguration. He gave them this mountaintop experience of his divinity and love to strengthen their faith, so that they would ultimately remain faithful to him.
In our lives, we too have moments where it seems we are on the mountain with Jesus. We can sense his presence and experience his holiness and love. This may have been while offering ourselves to Him at Holy Mass, after receiving him in Holy Communion, in our personal prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, or personal prayer in our room. A moment of grace given by our Lord to bolster our faith in him, so that we too may ultimately remain faithful in carrying the particular crosses we posses. Yes, there are trials, temptations, and even persecutions that come our way, but Jesus will always help us to be faithful. He offers us the graces necessary to be his saints and one day behold his glory for all eternity in Heaven.
Dear Jesus, please draw me ever closer to you and grant me a greater faith in your divinity as my Lord and my God. I desire a stronger faith that will not waver in the face of suffering. So take me up on the mountain with you, so that after I come down, I can endure with you any suffering that will come my way. Amen.
