The good: The Samsung Galaxy Note's 5.3-inch HD screen is ideal for showcasing multimedia. It has 4G LTE, a great 8-megapixel camera, and a souped-up S Pen stylus that brings new ways to interact with your phone.
The bad: The Galaxy Note's S Pen is small, has a delayed response, and requires a little training to use. The phone will be awkwardly large for some, and it doesn't fit easily into pockets.
The bottom line: With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Note is a polarizing smartphone that winks at tablet territory.

Not for everyone but right for me.
by chrishd3z on December 9, 2011
Pros: Excellent screen.
High resolution
Outstanding camera (same as galaxy s2)
Battery life is a plus. Manage to last a full day and thats with heavy use.
Build quality is impressive
Cons: Speakers are weak for a device this size

Summary: First off, I would like to state that this phone is not intended for the masses. Not everyone would be comfortable with carrying or holding a device of this size, so be sure you know what your getting yourself into. With that being said I am delighted in owning the Galaxy Note. I recently bought it via Amazon and have no regrets. The screen is to die for. Samsung included a short video file in this device to get you aware of the color,contrast and capabilities of this device screen and it just blew my mind away.
The Galaxy Note is a huge device and I choose it over the Galaxy S2 due to screen resolution. While the S2 and the Note pretty much carry the same specifications, the screen resolution of the note is 1,280x800 compared to the weak 480x800 of the S2. This means that you get better viewing fields (more info in less space). Other than that there seems no other major points that make it a better option.
Anyhow's the camera takes wonderful pictures, typing is a breeze due to bigger keyboard layout (you may have to use both hands). Build quality is "excellent". Samsung is known for using plastic which makes some of their devices seem cheap by todays standards but not the galaxy note.The only plastic you will find here would be the battery backplate and it doesn't look or feel cheap at all. The Note has the perfect weight, Its blazing fast, and I have no call quality problems (so far). Battery performance is a 5/5 star for me. Gets through the whole day without a problem. My only complaint would be the back speakers, they are just not loud enough for a device of this size.
There is an included styles which can seamlessly be put away in the built in styles compartment. I cant comment much on it at this point since i dont use it much but it does hold in pretty tightly (not afraid that it would fall out).
Overall if your looking for something that can function both as a phone and a mini tablet, than this is the device for you. The screen size and resolution are its selling points. Its a capable device, thats future proof and I cant wait for the "Icecream" OS update.

Phone-tablets are here to stay!
by Mytelex22 on December 21, 2011
Pros: - Super AMOLED and 285dpi = AMAZING SCREEN!
- Power to spare!
- Surprisingly long battery life (day and half of solid use)
- Screen real estate, perfect size for me!
- Included "Note" apps are fantastic!
- Although plastic, feels very solid in hand
Cons: - Lack of Note/S-pen specific Apps in the Market is a downer
- TouchWiz UI is okay at best
- Never liked Samsung's positioning of the On/Off button. I'm guessing it was placed on the side in order to stop Apple from suing them yet again...

Summary: While the Galaxy Note is not a perfect device, it perfectly combines the phone and tablet. The S-pen is very sensitive and responsive with minimal lag. The screen, power and battery life are the winners in this package. The Exynos handled everything I threw at it from full 1080p playback to my '50 TV to 6 home screens with widgets galore! I don't see myself replacing my Note for anything...Well, maybe a quad-core variant... but that won't be for a while right? RIGHT!?! ;)

From day 1 I was not able to use it correctly. Sent back and forth to Dell Support. Me and my family would never buy a Dell product anymore.
Bought Samsung Note with apprehensions. After a few weeks of use, I should says that I am more than happy.
The screen size and the colors are amazing !
Even, an Apple addict was convinced by the looks of it.
And, best of all the call quality is fantastic (maybe the size explains !).

Excellent tablet/phone hybrid.
by reikisponge on March 5, 2012
Pros: Super AMOLED HD screen, nice textured back cover(blue charcoal version,) 4G LTE speed, S Pen for creativity, decent battery life, 5.1 simulated surround sound in music player
Cons: Speaker can be louder, lack most international input

Summary: Random thoughts/review from a former iPhone user.
I gave up waiting for iPhone 5 (4G LTE?) and Galaxy S2 HD Skyrocket/LTE because Galaxy Note has bigger screen, higher resolution, 4G LTE data speed, thin and light. Processor is plenty fast and OS can be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich. S Pen is a plus for drawing creativity.
Galaxy Note is not all that big (I'm six feet tall) as it fits in my hand and my jean/khaki pocket nicely. I found iPhone 4S's screen is way too small for my aging eyes. Reading text on website is just a joy!
Battery life is around 10-11 hours on moderate use (email/phone calls/facebook/web browsing/youtube)
Youtube video in HD on this screen looks stunning. Super AMOLED HD screen looks great with brilliant color and the deepest black level. I do find some Netflix movie in dark scene (i.e. Caprica) has some banding issue in shades of black/grey blocks. I think it's the media encoding or Netflix player issue because dark scene in other apps looks fine.
Swype is such a great input method that iPhone doesn't have. I found iPhone is easier to do select/cut/paste. Downside is that certain international input method (i.e. Chinese) is not included as part of the system (I know, many of you can't relate to that)
I love the way Android/TouchWiz UI works. It's so flexible compared to iOS. Now finally I could have widgets running on different home screens, and true multitasking as everything can be run at the same time compared to iPhone just suspends or closes the app to run the new app.
The camera takes pretty decent picture and with flash and HD video. It's not of pro camera grade, but good enough for daily use and travel pics. More options than iPhone 3GS... not sure about 4S.
Apps like Voicetalk, SpeakToIt, and Vlingo Assistant are more or less like Siri. I like the driving mode which I don't need to touch the screen by saying 'hey galaxy.... navigate to <wherever>' and Google Navigation will start navigating and speak the street names. Only complaint is rerouting. It just won't quit nagging to go back to where you should have gone. It could have just restarted and re-routed from where you are right now like TomTom.
I discovered the music player came with the system has 5.1 virtual surround while using 2 speakers. i.e. I played Dan Gibson/Richard Evans's "Nurturing Rain" of "Nature's Spa" album. The sound of raindrops became alive and with more depth perception like 5.1 surround.
Overall, the built quality of this phone is excellent. Although it's plastic back cover, it doesn't feel cheap because of the nice textured back cover. I am glad I didn't get the white version which is glossy, and remind me too much of iPhone.

Pros: the screen looks greattttttttttt. i like the size of the phone. very light. very thin. packed with stuff you want and need. ITS UNLOCKED. the sound is very good on it.
Cons: the battery is ok. its not great but its not bad. by the end of my day it needs some juice (but im ok with that) the first couple of days your hand need to get use to it. but after that its all good.

Size does not always matter, but it is nice to have
by jo_be_ric on November 16, 2011
Pros: Web surfing, reading mails, PDFs, watching videos, pictures, playing a new game or taking notes with the S-Pen, the phone is just amazing to use, and the battery lasts longer then expected, +2 days at normal usage
Cons: There is a bit of a lag when you use custom launchers, and if you wanna use the phone with one hand, you need to be a giant with enormous hands.
Summary: In the beginning, I really was thinking that 5,3 inch could be really too much to be useful. I had a Samsung Galaxy S2, and the screen is quite ...
Summary: In the beginning, I really was thinking that 5,3 inch could be really too much to be useful. I had a Samsung Galaxy S2, and the screen is quite big, too. Compared to the Note, the screen is just a tiny thing. If you do not have money to buy the Note, do not use it, it is addictive. You will really miss Android on such a high resolution and display.
Till now, I did not regret buying this phone. The power it has for apps, games and videos is just amazing, but I need to mention that it sometimes has a bit of a thinking moment, when you hit an icon or wanna save a note you took, or just changing the wallpaper (what indeed takes 5 seconds).
The sound of the device is above average, nothing special, but still good. The tiny loudspeaker at the bottom end of the device is making some good noise, but do not expect to get an ear-gasm from listing to music with the small screamer. The sound with the headphones is nice, it has a good sound, some good bass and it is entertaining enough to use it as a MP3 and media player.
All in all, this device is one of the best phones I ever had, even of the size is enormous and the weight is quite high, but to be honest, this makes it feel quite valuable, not comparable to the plastic feel of a Galaxy S2.

SFMTA repeals paid Sunday parking meters, loses $9.8 million
San Francisco transit riders won some and lost some today [Tue/15] at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's Board of Directors meeting. The board voted to repeal Sunday parking meters, effective July 1. It also asked SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin to add 18-year-olds into the Free Muni for Youth program, which will take effect Nov. 1.
But a proposal for free Muni for seniors and the disabled hit a snag, and the board decided it would evaluate their budget in January 2015 to identify available funding for the program. Until then, the program is in limbo.
"I think free Muni for seniors and people with disabilities is a great need, it's a moral imperative," said Tom Nolan, chairman of the SFMTA board. "It's not a question if these things will happen, it's when."
Nearly 100 of advocates for the Free Muni For Youth and Free Muni for Seniors and the Disabled programs packed into the small board chamber at City Hall Tuesday. Some came in wheelchairs, others walked in carefully with canes, and small children bounded into the chamber playfully. At least 100 more people waited outside the doors of the chamber in line to speak. All came with a purpose: to tell the SFMTA that free Muni would help them live in a city increasingly inhospitable to poor and middle class San Franciscans.
"To some people $23 may not be much, but to (seniors), every penny counts," Pei Juan Zheng, vice president of the Community Tenants Association told the board at public comment. She spoke in Cantonese, and was later translated by a woman at her side. "I know some senior couples who can only afford one Muni pass and share it, taking turns to go on doctor's visits."
Many public commenters reminded the board that free Muni for the disabled and seniors could be paid for by paid Sunday parking meters, which the SFMTA ultimately decided to repeal. The SFMTA's budget proposal estimates free Muni for seniors and the disabled to cost about $4 million annually. Conversely, repealing paid parking meters is estimated to cost Muni $9.8 million annually. SFMTA spokesperson Paul Rose said the loss could actually be as high as $11 million.
The reason for repealing the paid parking meters was made clear as day: Mayor Ed Lee and the SFMTA board are tip-toeing around car-driving voters, afraid several ballot measures to fund Muni this November will tank. To that end, they're willing to appease drivers however they can.
"It's clear we don't have support for (paid Sunday meters)," board member Joel Ramos said after the vote. "We have failed, frankly, to convince the great majority of people. Read [San Francisco Chronicle columnists] Matier & Ross and see the sentiment out there, it's a negative one."
For his part, Mayor Lee was pleased the board enacted his repeal proposal. His statement to the press released shortly after the vote laid clear his need to appease car-driving voters.
"Repealing Sunday parking meters is about making San Francisco a little more affordable for our families and residents on Sunday, plain and simple," he wrote in his statement. "Instead of nickel and diming our residents at the meter on Sunday, let's work together to support comprehensive transportation funding measures this year and in the future that will invest in our City's transportation system for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and drivers alike."
Just two weeks ago, Reiskin suggested reducing enforcement of Sunday meters, perhaps in efforts to find a compromise. He has repeatedly publicly stated his support for paid Sunday meters. Apparently he was outnumbered.
There are silver linings. In January the SFMTA board will mull a 7 percent transit service increase for 2016, additional funding for cleaning Muni's fleet, and providing free Muni for low and moderate income seniors and disabled. The wait is due to the uncertainty of June contract negotiations with Muni workers, as well as the impending Muni funding ballot measures in November. If all goes well, the board said, funding may be identified for all of those projects. Until then, the loss of paid Sunday meters means Muni is out $9.8 million a year out of its $677 million budget.
The repeal of the paid markers doesn't just hit transit riders though. Local businesses may also lose out.
Back in our story "Muni Fare Shakedown [2/25]," Jim Lazarus, senior vice president of public policy at the business-friendly San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, told us he is a supporter of the paid Sunday meters. "You can drive into merchant areas now where you couldn't before," he told us.
Near the end of public comment, Cynthia Crews of the League of Pissed Off Voters put the board's vote into context.
"The MTA's purpose is to manage the effing streets, not do the mayor's bidding," she told the board. "This is a $9 million giveaway no one is asking for but Ed Lee."
"This," she said, "sucks."

Sunday parking should be free.
Sundays are virtually no different than other days. Most retail stores are open. Blue laws are a distant memory. Downtown used to be quiet on Sundays and even Saturdays east of 3rd Street along Market. No more. If you park, you pay. Period. No subsidizing of single cars, when MUNI buses, which can serve 50 people at a time, are struggling to stick to schedules and frequency. And let's meter under the Central Freeway (11th St./Duboce). If you are disabled and have a legitimate placard you have free parking.
Comments to CW Nevius' column should not be influencing the decisions of SFMTA members.
You only care about what you think?
Greg throws the poor under the bus so he can get his subsidized parking. I thought you had principles Greg.
False dilemma... and all kinds of other logical horning of sense.
Whats odd is that you are upset about "subsidized parking" because you want to use that money to subsidize something else.
Such a crazy way to look at the world.
Yeah I want poor people to be able to ride the bus. For about a thousand reasons.
You are a sociopathic fool who only cares about himself. What a crazy way to look at the world you have, so sad.
It's often poor people who have to drive because they cannot afford to live centrally.
A hedge fund manager taking the bus in from the Marina doesn't need a subsidy.
Do I have to prove this to you? Anyone who thinks for a minute knows that is it obvious that bus riders are more likely to be poor than car drivers.
service has never, EVER shown to exist.
I do have principles. One of them is "let the punishment fit the crime." The punishment for parking infractions has gotten way out of proportion to the "crime." That's because the city looks at parking tickets not as a corrective or deterrent measure but as a source of revenue. Poor people drive too, and few of them can afford a parking ticket. The people of San Francisco have become the MTA's personal ATM, and this is just wrong.
We need to balance the needs of transit riders, bike riders, pedestrians and yes, drivers. Balance is the key word here, not one-sided extremism that favors one group to the exclusion of all others.
"Transit First does not mean Transit Only"
@Guest - That line is nothing to be proud of. Just blithering blather.
envisaged zero private vehicles and nor did it imply a "war on cars".
In fact, technically, bikes are not transit, but the bike lobby jumped all over it and really made it a "bikes first; cars last" thing and not about transit at all.
What you see here is the inevitable backlash from ordinary people.
In fact, one particular commenter is the only one who actually exists; others are mere simulcra whose false presence helps highlight the one commenter's wisdom. That commenter, like j-------h, needs no name and can speak of the "I" or and "my" in a way which carries the ultimate meaning and import.
Democracy rewards the dumb majority.
So Greg is the infamous "sfparkripoff?" If only balance was what you wanted, but I'm afraid it's not. You want private auto owners to take precedence over all other modes.
across various websites to further an assortment of agendas.
He was caught out here a couple of weeks ago claiming to be on first name terms with the supervisors, and it is to be presumed that he uses "Greg" and these other noms de plume so that he can rant and vent his more extreme views without it being tied back to his alleged real-life serious persona.
How would you know that? Can you prove it?
with various contributors, and Greg ducked it when we got close to the truth after initially defending himself.
Look through the old threads if you are that interested
It was much ado about nothing. I didn't "duck." I lost interest. That happens a lot when trolls insist on the last word. Usually they get it, because I want serious discussion, not endless back-and-forth with trolls.
For instance... now. Take it away, trolls. Last word is all yours!
Oh... btw... who the hell is "sfparkripoff?" I've been here a while and I've yet to see anyone post under that handle.
You simultaneously claimed to be BOTH on first-name terms with the Supes AND to be an "ordinary guy".
It's fair to call you out on that.
And there are no name-recognized politico's or activists named Greg, so it is clear that your real name is not "Greg". But rather that is a name you use to express extremist views your real persona does not want to be associated with.
Same with this SFpark name, which is used on Streetsblog
be free. The people have spoken.
The city must not see parking tickets as corrective, because they keep giving them out and the drivers never learn....
overall motoring costs.
I get about one ticket a year which is cheap to be able to park more freely and flexibly.
How is parking subsidized? The motorists of this city have been gouged for years and are paying for every project related to transportation imaginable and some projects that have nothing to do with transportation. When we waste tax payer money to paint the entire lane of the streets "red" "green" just for the bicyclists, why are we not asking the bicyclists to pay for it? Why are we not requiring the bicyclists to register their bikes for a fee
when just about all other cities do? Owning a car is not evil and should not be made to be scape goats. With gas prices sky high, how much more can the motorists absorb?
Yeah, glad they made Muni free on Sundays too. All working class San Franciscans, especially those who cannot afford a car, need a break.
no free fares for anyone, ever.
I think it should be free every day. And I support a citywide VLF increase, because that's a form of progressive taxation if it's based on the value of the car.
But the parking gestapo has gotten out of hand in this city. I didn't always think this way. People were telling me that when I first moved here, and I always thought they were exaggerating. But now it's just a shakedown. The more we pull back from that, the better. We need to make it a people-friendly city. And yes, MUNI is underfunded and too expensive, but two wrongs don't make a right.
to cover its costs, the fare should be $5 or more.
The pensions and healthcare black holes are a big part of that.
Two wrongs don't make a right. I'd be happy to make MUNI free, but not on the backs of other working class people. We need to create some sort of progressive taxation scheme. I'd be open to a citywide VLF, if it was progressive based on the value of the car.
and so would not pay the tax.
Muni has to have a fare if only to keep the system from being even more over-crowded. And although the farebox recovery rate is dismally low, maybe only 25% or so, at least it ensures that everyone pays something.
Do you have any idea how much an average person pays in taxes and fees in this City? If you own a house, the property tax is one of the highest in the State. If you rent, a part of that tax is transferred to you. There is tax and fees on all other services such as garbage collection, water and sewage, etc. There is an employees wage tax, the meters charge 25cents for 5 minutes. God help you if you own a business as to the amount of taxes you will have to pay. There is no such thing as a free lunch, the MUNI has been a drain ever since its union became so powerful that no politicians are willing to say no to their demands. How will any new tax be able to keep up with the continuous escalation of its cost of operation?
He wants you to pay more.
SF's self appointed spokesperson for the entitled complains.
"The MTA's purpose is to manage the effing streets, not do the mayor's bidding," she told the board. "This is a $9 million giveaway no one is asking for but Ed Lee. Remember, anyone who can afford to own a car is getting a free ride thanks to all of us on a bus."
"This," she said, "sucks."
Yes all of those low-income youth, seniors, and disabled who can't afford cars to park for free on Sunday are soo entitled.
Stop puffing the ganja and you could figure it out I bet.
There needs to be a fee or tax so that I can afford one.
"Gimme, gimme, gimme!!!!"
But the non-profits figure they can legally mug people as long as they can scare the politicians
Tony Robles is absolutely right. San Francisco is a very expensive city and our seniors need our help. We do need to make Muni free for seniors and disabled people. I also have a compromise to fund it. First, we keep Sunday meters. We then redirect the money from services for illegal aliens. If that isn't enough, then we can take the rest from the 250 million we spend on the homeless each year. Drivers keep free meters and free Muni for seniors and disabled gets funded. Win-win.
Now we're getting somewhere. A counterproposal. Not 'if'. We do redirect money from services for illegal aliens and for the homeless in order to make a small dent in the Muni maintenance deficit, which is purportedly in the billions. After all what's the point of free muni if you can't get the seniors, disabled people, and poor youth to whereever it is they're going -- union square to hang out, i guess -- on time.
to make parking free all the time.
from the ever OPPRESSIVE greed of City employees.
Bury Sunday meters forever! Our one day of peace is back!
'"It's clear we don't have support for (paid Sunday meters)," board member Joel Ramos said after the vote. "We have failed, frankly, to convince the great majority of people. Read Matier & Ross and see the sentiment out there, it's a negative one."'
And Ramos is supposed to be one of the "good" appointees. Not one more dime to this agency until the Board selection process is opened to to diverse appointing authorities or elections so that we can get rid of scoundrels like Ramos and Brinkman who look to C.W. Nevius for transit policy guidance.

Martin County suffers another teen tragedy
- 11:42 am Friday, July 1st, 2011 by Post Staff
Martin County residents have lived through their share of teen tragedies. But the short, happy life and shocking death of 16-year-old South Fork cheerleader Jessica Smith has touched the whole community.
On Tuesday, more than 400 grieving friends and relatives joined a candlelight vigil at Hobe Sound Beach to celebrate her life.
Miss Smith died in a fiery head-on crash on U.S. 1 in Hobe Sound June 23, when her 1995 Ford Ranger collided with the 2003 Chevy Impala David Whelan, 58, was driving south in the northbound lane. Whelan, of Palm Beach Shores, also died at the scene. He had 44 prior arrests on a variety of charges, including drunk driving, disorderly intoxication, cocaine possession, battery and, in January and April, driving on a suspended license.
Parents often tell teens life isn't fair, the Rev. Craig Bridgers told the standing room only crowd at Aycock Funeral Home in Stuart. "But when it really isn't fair it throws all of us for a loop…because of one person's irresponsibility, all of you are dealing with the results."
The Florida Highway Patrol, which often takes weeks to complete accident reports, awaits toxicology tests on Whelan. FHP's first reports say neither driver was wearing a seat belt, though Miss Smith's relatives said officials at the scene told them she was.
"She always wore her seat belt," said her boyfriend Troy Larkins, 17, "and she always told her friends to put their seat belts on if they were riding with her."
An officer lectured teens at the scene the day after the accident on the dangers of texting and driving, Mr. Larkins said, "trying to stereotype Jessica as some typical irresponsible teenager. But she always put her seat belt on and never texted while she was driving."
Friends and family remember Miss Smith as lively and fun. "She knew a lot of people," said her mother, Tina Jacobetti, "all different kinds of people."

The Space is currently applying to the BBC Trust for approval to be re-launched in Spring/Summer 2014 as a dynamic new space for artists and audiences to invent and explore brilliant digital art. The current Space pilot service will come to an end on 31 October and from 1 November, all current content on The Space will be taken down.
Commissions for The Space have been drawn from one of three editorial vision strands:
1. Capturing the event or artistic work – the capture or reinterpretation of an event; some will be for live broadcast
2. About the event or artistic work – work to deepen knowledge and reflect the creative process, drawing as appropriate on new and archive material
3. Creating a new artistic work – artists' creations using The Space itself as a canvas, to take advantage of the different artistic possibilities offered by emerging technologies
The editorial vision has been agreed by Arts Council England and the BBC. It will guide the decision-making on the grant process and inform the selection of proposals that will be commissioned and made available by The Space on the various platforms.
Every proposal will be assessed against its ability to address one of the three editorial vision essentials.
We are seeking creative output produced in a variety of formats including, but not restricted to, long form video, short form video, audio recordings, collections of still images, text (such as blogs), interactive online experiences and applications to run on tablets or mobile phones.
We will focus primarily - but not exclusively - on the following areas:
- music
- dance
- theatre and drama
- visual arts
- literature and poetry
- combined arts (including festivals and other multi-artform events or propositions)
- media and digital arts
- arts-focused approaches to the interpretation of and engagement with archives and collections (including museums and libraries)
We encourage applications from across the country but the awards we make and the material shown on The Space will not necessarily cover all of the regions of England.

PLATTSBURGH — The power went out in a large area of the Town of Plattsburgh Thursday evening.
About 1,200 NYSEG customers in Clinton County lost power for just under an hour between 6 and 7 p.m., said NYSEG Regional Operations Manager Mark Leta.
Most of the outages were in the area of Tom Miller Road extending toward Buck's Discount Center on Route 22, Leta said.
The extreme cold and high winds likely caused the problem said.
"It's a not a uncommon thing to happen when things are this cold," he said.
The problem probably started when the insulation on a power line was damaged and sparked, spreading fire to the utility pole, Leta said.
"When voltages of that magnitude short, it basically catches the wood on the pole on fire," he said.
The Town of Plattsburgh District 3 Fire Department and NYSEG worked together to extinguish the utility pole fire.
The power outage included at least one traffic light: at the intersection of Route 22 and Route 374 in the Town of Plattsburgh.
There was also a power outage on Wallace Hill Road, according to Clinton County Fire Control.
State Police and highway personnel were dispatched immediately to intersections to warn drivers of the absence of lights.
Champlain Centre mall's power was also reported out.
"Our first call is to speak with NYSEG to see what the issue is and how quickly it can be restored," Champlain Centre Manager David Napolitan said soon after he had learned of the outage.
Security and store employees worked together during power outages to ensure the mall area is secure, Napolitan said.
Scanner reports said one security guard was on duty at the mall at the time of the outage.
Power was restored and lights were functional at Champlain Centre at 7 p.m.
While NYSEG's night crew were repairing the electrical system, the temperature was about four degrees with windchill, Leta said.

Victoria Beckham, Tailor? The Star Personally Alters Eva Longoria's Gown
Courtesy Eva Longoria; Gareth Cattermole/Getty
It pays to be best friends with a designer. Just ask Eva Longoria, who had her dress altered for the Global Gift Gala in London Tuesday by Victoria Beckham herself!
Posh ditched her ever-present high heels and got down on her hands and knees to make last-minute tweaks to the long black sheer-paneled design from her collection. Hours later Longoria rocked it on the red carpet (and you agree — she currently has an 87 percent "Love It" rating from PEOPLE readers).

Beckham totally transformed the dress for Longoria, switching it up from the midi that originally hit the catwalk at her Spring 2013 show last year into an elegant full-length stunner.
The designer also supported her friend on the red carpet, wearing yet another floor-skimming black look from her own archives, consisting of a silk plunging blouse and matching skirt (which is also a hit with readers!).

Throughout the year, the Boston Bar Association (BBA) receives many proposals for amicus briefs. All proposals for BBA amicus briefs are fully vetted to determine what if any value the BBA's voice can add to the questions before the court. Extremely selective about weighing in with an amicus brief, the BBA takes pride in the quality of its briefs, all of which are drafted by dedicated volunteers. In today's decision by the Supreme Judicial Court inRachel A. Bird Anderson vs. BNY Mellon, N.A. trustee and others, the BBA is delighted to report that the SJC answered the questions posed by the BBA's amicus brief filed in this case. A BBA news release issued on May 1, 2012 illustrates the underlying problems inBird.
Amid controversy, confusion and uncertainty over the retroactivity of a 2009 amendment, the BBA amicus brief, filed on April 30, 2012 urged the SJC to answer two specific questions:
Is the retroactive application of Chapter 524 to instruments executed prior to 1958 constitutional?
If so, what are the consequences for actions taken by fiduciaries in reliance on Chapter 524 prior to the SJC's determination that such an application is constitutional?
In its BIRD decision released today the SJC provided the clarity and assurances the BBA was seeking:
"On balance, the retroactive application of the 2009 amendment to the plaintiff is not reasonable," says the decision. The decision goes on to provide even greater clarity:
"Although our discussion has focused on the factual situation before us, what we have said presumably applies to others who, like the plaintiff, have significant interests in pre-1958 trusts or other grants or devises, subject only to divestment by predeceasing an existing beneficiary or to dilution through the birth of others. Because of the uncertainty whether the 2009 amendment could constitutionally be applied retroactively, we think it is appropriate to clarify that our decision does not make unreasonable any distributions to adopted beneficiaries made in reliance on the 2009 amendment between July 1, 2010, and the date of this opinion, nor does it make unreasonable a trustee's declination to make such distributions. Although "[b]eneficiaries of a trust are entitled to the protection of the courts where there is a clear abuse of discretion or where the exercise of judgment by a fiduciary is clearly inconsistent with a due appreciation of his responsibilities as a fiduciary," McMahon v. Krapf, 323 Mass. 118, 124 (1948), in light of the uncertain state of the law, neither of the above- mentioned actions would be an abuse of discretion or clearly inconsistent with a trustee's responsibilities."
The BBA deeply appreciates the work of its Amicus Committee for bringing to light issues that have an impact on the entire bar.

Fearless Ranegie ready for Championship rough and tumble (From This Is Local London)

New Watford signing Mathias Ranegie believes he could be well-suited to the physical nature of the Championship
Updated 5:33pm Friday 17th January 2014 in Latest Sport By Tom Allnutt
New Watford signing Mathias Ranegie believes he could be a perfect fit for the Championship and hopes that starting his football career late will allow him to play long into his thirties at Vicarage Road.
Ranegie, 29, finalised a move to the Hornets on a permanent deal from Udinese a fortnight ago having made only four appearances for the Italian side this season.
The 6ft 5in striker, who is known for his physical attributes and fearless attitude, believes his style of play could be ideal for the hard and fast nature of English football.
"I think I'm a player that fits in this league," said Ranegie, who has recently recovered from a hamstring strain.
"I do have that fearless side to my game. Even if you have a big body it doesn't make much of a difference if you're afraid. But I'm not afraid on the pitch.
"English clubs often play with big strikers – it's very common to have these kinds of players, especially in the Championship.
"Often the wingers have very good feet and they want to cross the ball into the box so I think I'll fit in very well here."
He added with a smile: "I don't want to only talk about my body – I'm not brainless, I can play with my head too – but I am a physical player."
Ranegie says he didn't start playing "serious football" until he was 22 when he signed for IFK Gothenburg but after an indifferent spell at the Swedish giants he made a name for himself at BK Häcken, where he scored 36 goals in 81 appearances.
Malmo signed him in 2011 and 13 goals in 26 games persuaded Udinese to sign the forward in August last summer.
Ranegie admits he sometimes wonders how far he could have gone had he started football earlier but he insists there are positives to be taken too.
"I've thought about it of course," he said.
"But starting late was probably good for my body too. I used to get injuries when I was a kid because I was so tall.
"I had problems with my knees and then I had a couple of years where I didn't play football so my body is maybe not like other 29 year olds.
"I think it's younger and I hope I might be able to go on longer as a result."
Ranegie, who says he was close to joining Blackpool and Middlesbrough a few years ago, nearly moved to Watford last summer but injuries to strikers at Udinese delayed the transfer.
He says he is well aware of the competitive nature of the Championship and is adamant Watford's promotion hopes are far from over.
Ranegie said: "There are so many classic teams in this division – almost every team has been in the Premier League so it's a beautiful league and I know it's very unpredictable.
"There's still that old English thing where some of the teams are big, some are small, some are teams who like to play football and some are physical and high tempo teams – but they can all win."
He continued: "The play-offs are still close. If anyone thinks we can't make the play-offs they don't understand football.
"There are so many games left and if you start winning, you can keep on winning. My dream here is to make a difference."
Ranegie had personal problems when he was young and a disenchantment with football, as well as injuries, contributed to his late arrival in football.
Religion helped the Swede steer his life back on track and he believes through football, God gave him a second chance.
"I found God and he saved me, he showed me how to live," he said. "I think talent is a blessing from a higher power and that it's something somebody gives you.
"I lost it and then I think God gave it back to me."
He continued: "There are so many football players who drop out from football when they're young and they think it's too late to pick it up again.
"I turned back to football when I was 22 and that shows if you have the talent you can do great things – talent is just the start."
Ranegie hopes his personal problems as a teenager don't influence Hornets supporters' perception of him now. He wants to be judged solely as a footballer.
When asked if he appreciates more what he has now because of his past, he joked: "I think I do but I have to be honest, I'm still like every other football player a lot of the time.
"Nobody can be humble all the time – I've been a football player for nine years now and sometimes, believe me, I forget.
"I know how I should probably answer this question but to be honest, I complain about the weather like everyone else."

We need Ranegie and Anya to get together to start praying for some divine help.
If he's fit, get him starting tomorrow. Up front, as a proper partner for Deeney. His physicality should attract lots of attention from defenders which can only create space for Deeney high up the field, and Deeney is more effective when he has a bit of space. If Deeney also attracts defenders then this will create lots of space for attacking midfielders and/or wing backs to take advantage of.
I have never seen Ranegie play but if he is a physical centre forward and turns out to be decent championship standard (or better) then I think our season will turn around and we will start cruising up the league.
Play offs here we come.

To be fair I think (hope) he is going to tear championship defences a new one and him with Deeney up top will be irresistable!

If he's worried about our perception of him following his early misdemeanors, he should talk to Troy to find out about how real Watford fans treat their players during difficult times. Welcome to WFC, Ranegie.

Dont agree about Cassetti putting over crosses. Ita a miracle when he actually either gets past a defender or reaches the byeline. Think Anya is our best bet as Pudil tends to over hit them.

Here are some rules to help you stay safe during floods.
1. Before a flood affects your area, know the flood history.
2. Know evacuation routes and how you will get your family there.
3. Abandon flooded vehicles if it is possible to do so safely.
4. Turn Around & Don't Drown. Do not try to drive through a flooded area. Especially if you do not know how deep it is. (Just a cubic meter of water weighs 1 ton!!!)
5. Do not walk through flowing water. Because a cubic meter of water weighs that much, it also carries with it a lot of force. So avoid walking through water that is moving. Especially if it is flowing steadily and at a rapid pace.
6. Be Careful at Night.

2014 Dates
Regular Camp
May 12 - June 8
Contact: email@example.com
Chapman's Peak Drive in Western Cape Province, South Africa. Here the highway marks the unconformity that separates the Cambro-Ordovician sandstones of the Peninsula Group from the Precambrian granites just below. This is a popular hike usually taken by students in the first day or two of camp. The Southern Atlantic looms in the background.
2014 Michigan Tech Africa Field Camp
This year field camp will be held in South Africa.
The field camp will meet for 4 weeks (28 days) in early May. See the box at the right for dates.
This camp is designed to teach students the fundamentals of geologic mapping using modern tools and methods. You will use GPS and GIS as well as apps from your iPhone (or equivalent) to map rocks and sediments quickly and efficiently. You will learn about earth history in a part of the world you rarely hear about in your stateside clasees. And you will see firsthand some of the best geology in the world. The Western Cape in South Africa has excellent exposures of rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Paleozoic (Ladismith in the Karoo) to Modern (Langebaan on the Atlantic Coast).
Brief Camp Itinerary
Students attending the regular camp will arrive in Cape Town, examine the classic Paleozoic section there for 3 days (see photo above), travel to Langebaan (5 days) for an initial check-out and study of Recent sediments, then travel to the main field camps in Gordon's Bay (5 days) then Ladismith for (12 days). The camp will conclude with 3 days in Cape Town.
Supplementary Programs
OrangeAfrica offer trips that compliment the field camp and emphasize the geology of the Western Cape and Namibia. These programs are not part of the field camp but in the past some students have found them attractive as pre- or post-camp excursions. Click here for details.
NOTE: This camp is offered for academic credits only; for the camp that is offered for CEU's (Continuing Education Units) click here.

So Anna is out, I can see that it's available but every time I try and download it I am unable to connect to the update server. I've tried 3 different machines in 2 different locations.
And this, for me, sums up Nokia. Poor management of the upgrade means the the update server is swamped and can't cope.
i prefer to use OTA but that isn't available.
Thankfully I'm not desparate for this update, more curious.
Such a shame though
18-08-2011 11:34
yea dont worry im still on 1.0
aswell where is everyone finding this release list
as for the reason its in the list will be that its going to be released
i have recently spoken to telstra and they have confirmed they are doing the update but it will be mid september before we see it.
sorry if it sounded like i was having a go at you. im just sick of everyone blaming nokia for the delay. when the issue (emergency calling) seems to only be on the telstra carier varient.
18-08-2011 11:51
It's officially announced:
I can't believe I don't have the time to do this until I get home from work! Ha ha, that's the way it goes, you wait 5 months, then you have to wait a bit more because I don't have a spare hour in the morning. Oh well. Gives me something to look forward to tonight
Great news guys, hope the wait was worth it
18-08-2011 11:56
servers still down though at minute
18-08-2011 12:02
Just found this over on the Conversations page, in case anyone was wondering about missing QuickOffice after updating:
Symbian Anna includes the full license for Quick Office and Adobe. Once the mandatory application package (Symbian Anna 1/2) is downloaded, the Quickoffice and Adobe applications will function normally. ...so I think you need to download Anna. Then goto the OTA upgrades and those apps should be there.
So I guess it's just something else you have to do. Still nothing here in the US. We're probably last on the list of countries because there are just 14 Nokia owners here. Greeeaaaatttt.

Mate, us aussies don't have a go at each other. Well some do lol....
Anyway yea I can understand frustration towards nokia, and also telstra in a lot of cases, not so much this one. If there is a issue, there is a issue. Its prob got something to do with telstra has a unique network then anyother.
Well i did get excited to see my product code in that list, now i guess to wait another month :-(
Cheers buddy.
18-08-2011 12:59
Glad you guys are getting it in the UK. Just read a whole load of comments around the web, looks like us chumps living in America will see the update LAST. Brilliant, classic Nokia! "Ooh yes, the US is very important to us, new strategy, blah blah.." except for those customers who had to buy their N8 and E7 from Amazon at full-price ($500) because there will be an extra wait until we get to download Anna.
18-08-2011 13:02
Also, the comments made by people who have installed the update are very worrying. Many folks are saying that certain features aren't working or are missing, that error messages pop up on the screen... looks like waiting a bit longer might actually be worth something. Geeez... (roll eyes and shake head)
18-08-2011 13:47
Well I flashed anna yesterday, uk dg variant and all I can say is wow what an improvement over 1.2 which was buggy as hell, I may actualy keep my N8 a little longer now because my phone actualy works.
He he funny how anna rolls out the same day that belle was leaked
18-08-2011 15:03
From a Nokia employee, answering some early concerns. Could be useful if you've got some questions:
Hi all, as an answer to the feedback we got in the last hours, here's some Q&A on topics you've raised so far:
1) Q: "No update available" – A: We've released Symbian Anna in more than 30 countries this morning which will enable over 60% of our existing Symbian3 customers to update to Symbian Anna. For a full list of countries where the update is available now, please check our detailed information in the Nokia Discussions Forum via: http://discussions.europe.noki.... As you would expect, we got a lot of update requests and therefore some users might get an information "server not available / no update available". If so, please try to download the update again a bit later.
2) Q: "I've downloaded Symbian Anna & lost Quickoffice and Adobe pdf reader" – A: It's crucial that you not only download the operating system but also the Symbian Anna application packages. They are available via Ovi Suite update or over the air (depending on country & operator) as well. The package called "Symbian Anna 1/2" contains the Quickoffice and pdf reader, and "Symbian Anna 2/2" contains other important service updates, so we recommend to update everything you see in Ovi Suite or the Software Update client.
3) Q: "The splitscreen Qwerty is not visible when using Swype" – A: You have to enable the Qwerty keyboard by opening the message view, select the Options button (that looks like a list) and select Qwerty keyboard. If you are using Swype it might be that this is blocking the Qwerty, please then try to disable Swype and check if that solves your problem.
4) Q: "After the update I get a message 'phone feature not supported'" – A: Please install the Symbian Anna application packages as that will solve the issue.
5) Q: "How should I update if I'm in an area with weak network coverage?" – A: We recommend to do the Symbian Anna update via OviSuite or via WiFi because of the update size (>80MB for over the air updates) and corresponding download times in a weak network area.
18-08-2011 15:14
I'm a Virgin customer using a N8 and I can't get the update with the ovi suite. Something about can't connect to the net etc etc. Yet I updated the UK map with ovi suite. So I know I can connect to the internet with the suite but can't get the update.
18-08-2011 15:21
hi skyee
how about n8 059c304 sfr when will we see this revolutionary update i really can t wait thanks for ur support
18-08-2011 16:41
When will the UK servers be back online as I have been trying to update since 0800 hrs when I was cut off half way through !!!!
18-08-2011 16:52 - edited 18-08-2011 16:59
Andy I was getting frustrated with UK servers too. I was successful with the Nokia Software Updater that was superseded by Ovi Suite. See my post HERE
By the way, CNet still has Nokia Software Updater (NSU) available not Filehippo as I thought before.
Happy seeking & hopefully updating. I'm still chuckling about how much better Anna has made my superb N8.
18-08-2011 16:59
Thanks mate I have been trying nsu but it says no update available when it stops saying service unavailable. Not sure I got right version as I downloaded it from a us site this morning!
18-08-2011 17:01
18-08-2011 22:30
Both Nokia PC Suite and NSU keep throwing an error message after cca 2 mins since I have started the update that the connection with the device has been lost...I obey the instructions but the message shows over and over again...I checked PC Suite help which says to press and hold ON/OFF buttton on N8 for 10 seconds and then try again, but it doesn`t help...I repaired PC Suite but it doesn`t help neither...the update is not available via FOTA yet...my N8 is 059C5Q8
any suggestions?
