Keith Hernandez
In partnership with
- 2x World Series Champion (1982, 1986)
- 5X All-Star (1979, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1987)
- National League Batting Champion (1979)
- National League Most Valuable Player (1979)
- 11 Consecutive Gold Glove Award Winner (1978-1988)
Keith Hernandez is a former MLB first baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets and Cleveland Indians. Keith began his career in the majors with the Cardinals in 1974, ultimately winning the National League batting title. He shared the circuit's MVP honors with Willie Stargell in 1979 after leading the league with a .344 batting average, 48 doubles and 116 runs scored. Keith quickly became a perennial .300 hitter and one of the top stars in the National League. The Cardinals won the 1982 World Series, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers in seven games.
Traded midseason in 1983, Keith was traded to the Mets where he finished second in the NL Most Valuable Player voting behind second baseman Ryne Sandberg. Due to his strong and accurate throwing arm as well as his quick instincts, Keith occasionally discouraged opponents to bunt merely by reputation. In 1986, Keith and the Mets won 108 games, winning the World Series against the Boston Red Sox. He was named the first team captain in franchise history in 1987 and in 1988, he led his team to another division crown. Keith appeared in five MLB All-Star Games and hit better than .300 six times between 1979 and 1987. Considered one of the best defensive players in his position, Keith was awarded the Gold Glove in 11 consecutive seasons between 1979 and 1988, the most by any first baseman in baseball history. Over the course of his career, he batted over .300 seven times, led the National League in runs scored in 1979 and 1980, doubles in 1979, on-base percentage in 1980 and walks in 1986. He was inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1997 and was voted Mets' all-time first baseman by fans in 2002 and the Mets' all-time first basemen by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters in 2012.
Keith retired in 1990 after signing with the Cleveland Indians. Currently a baseball analyst and commentator working on Mets telecasts for SportsNet New York and WPIX since 2006, Keith won two 2010 New York Emmys for Sports Analyst and as part of the SNY Mets broadcast team. He has written three books so far, If at First: A Season With the Mets, Pure Baseball: Pitch by Pitch for the Advanced Fan, and Shea Good-Bye: The Untold Story of the Historic 2008 Season. Keith guest starred as himself in Seinfeld in 1992 and also appeared in an episode of Law & Order in 1994 and the movies The Scout and The Yards. Keith is also a strong supporter of the Alzheimer's Association and created a website that raises money for juvenile diabetes and The Danbury Women's Center.

Alcoholics More Likely to Die of Cancer: Study
Alcohol itself and poor lifestyle choices both increase risks, researchers say
TUESDAY, Nov. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Alcoholics have a higher rate of death from cancer and other causes than other people, a new study finds.
Italian researchers examined data on nearly 2,300 male and female alcoholics who were treated at the Alcohol Center of Florence between 1985 and 2001.
They found a higher rate of death among alcoholics than among the general population for multiple types of cancers, particularly cancers of the pharynx, oral cavity, liver and larynx. Risk of death from cancer of the esophagus, rectum, pancreas and breast was also heightened among alcoholics.
Alcoholics were also more likely to die of infections, diabetes, violent crimes and diseases of the immunological, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems.
The findings appear online and in the February 2012 print issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
"Our study has provided strong evidence that alcohol addiction significantly increases the risk of death from several causes in comparison to the general population in a Mediterranean country...," corresponding author Domenico Palli, head of the nutritional and molecular epidemiology unit at the Cancer Research and Prevention Institute in Florence, said in a journal news release. "Alcohol's role as a 'dietary' carcinogen emerged quite clearly."
The researchers also found that female alcoholics had higher survival rates than male alcoholics, possibly because women are more likely to get help for alcoholism, Palli said.
Alcohol consumption causes about 4 percent of all deaths and 5 percent of all diseases worldwide, according to background information in the news release.
"Clearly alcohol abuse can compromise the structure and functionality of several human organs, thus directly increasing the risk of death," Palli concluded. "Other aspects of the characteristic lifestyle of alcoholics -- smoking, drug abuse, promiscuity and a poor diet -- may contribute to this high-risk pattern together with reduced health-consciousness."

Implement A Screaming Screen For Business
Talking with someone about the difference between a plan and planning in business highlighted the importance of defining objectives. It had become obvious that `he who shouted loudest' was distracting, blocking out necessities to leading their business profitably.
Urgent demands understandably surface but too often scream for attention disproportionally loud at the cost of more complex demands, which are, frankly, too often drowned because they are less adrenalin driven; there is little sense of satisfaction completing a tick-box regulatory routine compared to sourcing or testing new products.
We've all been there; something should have taken a priority but was ignored until it became an emergency. Emergency can turn to crisis, then panic sets in and loud shouting starts over. To ensure you aren't the one who's shouting, make sure you understand who is shouting, why they're shouting and what they're shouting about.

From Alarming to Charming!
In the not-too-distant past, the daily family dinner served the dual purpose of feeding and connecting with the family. It was also an important teaching moment — the time and place where moms and dads modeled and taught basic social skills (how to eat, how to hold a conversation, how to listen, etc.) to their children.
Today, many of our family conversations are sabotaged by the technology we've all come to rely on — television, cell phones, and computers — and take up time that used to be spent enjoying the family. Ironically, these same devices have contributed, in my opinion, to the erosion of our society's manners and social skills.
I say ironically because I believe social graces/manners are primarily about connecting with others in a positive way. All of a sudden, we have a multitude of ways to communicate with others, but often we don't do a very good job of connecting.
Because of this disconnect, I often start my etiquette classes and summer camps by teaching the basics of how to properly introduce oneself to others, whether on the phone, in person or online. Here is an outline of the skills I work to impart in my summer camps:
How To Properly Address Adults and Authority Figures
1. Never address adults by their first name, unless given permission to do so
2. "Yes, Ma'am" and "No, Sir" are regional traditions. In the Northern states, these forms of addressing adults are considered sassy. In the Southern states, they are considered the highest form of a courteous response. Children should use the form appropriate to their location.
How To Be A Good Guest
Whether it is staying with relatives during the holidays or simply visiting with a friend, children can be taught how to be good guests, which is a polite way of ensuring that the visit is enjoyable for both parties.
For example, have you ever been invited to a friend's house for dinner, sat down for the family meal and begun nibbling on the bread, only to look up and see their heads bowed to bless the food? Teach your campers to always wait until the host/hostess is seated and takes the first bite of food before they begin to eat. Not only is it polite but it also avoids embarrassment.
Other good rules to follow include:
1. Wear appropriate clothing
2. Do not go through refrigerators and drawers
3. Clean one's own mess before leaving (also a good rule at home)
4. Thank both the child and adult hosts before leaving the home
How To Be A Good Host
Like being a good guest, being a good host is a matter of thinking more about your visitor than yourself. This is something that can be taught at a young age because, ultimately, it comes down to a little planning and lots of sharing.
We have our campers practice planning and preparing for guests by asking them to think about what their guests might need (food, games, etc.) and writing those things down. If we're working with particularly young children, we know they will tend to be single-minded about playing what they want to play instead of what their guests might want to play. So, we work on teaching them, in advance, about the importance of taking turns and fairness.
Proper Telephone Etiquette—When Your Camper Is Placing The Call
Have you ever had someone call you, begin talking, and you did not know the caller's name? Teach your campers to identify themselves, using the first and last name. For example: "Hi, this is Christopher Barrett. May I please speak with Michael?"
Other common-sense rules to consider include:
1. Do not call too late. Children should not phone a friend's home after 9 p.m. unless given permission to do so.
2. Do not to call too often. Kids have to practice patience in waiting for a return call.

proletarian university
I received a suggestion from Dave about how to save the university whilst it nevertheless does its best to destroy itself: 'What about a self-organised 'proletarian university' that runs one night a week in cheap spaces? Given enough willing lecturers, academics could offer one 2-hour lecture of their choice (or in a more co-ordinated way?) once every three or six months. These could be lectures with the aim of introducing people, including beginners, to topics and thinkers of interest. Participants would go away with some ideas, maybe reading lists, to help with further study. Proletarian university could start with an open-ended syllabus entitled 'Proletarian Philosophy'. Who knows after...

No Problem with Controls In Fatal UPS Crash
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Federal investigators haven't found any problems with the controls in a UPS cargo jet that crashed while landing in Alabama, killing the two pilots.
National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt says the cockpit controls in the A300 aircraft appeared to be working before the crash, and they matched the positions of the airplane's flaps and rudder.
Sumwalt's comments came during a news conference Saturday at Birmingham's airport, where the jet went down early Wednesday about one mile from the runway.
Investigators previously said they don't see any problems with the plane's engines, but that a cockpit warning went off seconds before the crash indicating the plane was descending faster than normal.
The plane's data recorder shows the autopilot was engaged, but Sumwalt says that's not unusual.

text: Perez wishes McLaren well as he announces his departure from the team 13 November, 2013 Sergio Perez walks out on McLaren…or was he pushed? Despite having recently looked set for another year with McLaren, Sergio Perez has confirmed that he is leaving the team but is adamant that he has no regrets despite enduring a problematic season with the legendary Woking based outfit. Perez's tenure with McLaren beyond 2013 started to look doubtful after the Adu Dhabi Grand Prix, where McLaren made no secret that they would like to promote their highly rated protege Kevin Magnussen to Formula 1 to partner Jenson Button in the team. Over the past few days media reported that the deal was done with Magnussen signed and Perez shown the door, with the Mexican now releasing a statement confirming that he will not be with McLaren beyond 2013. The statement by the 23 year old Mexican read: "First of all, I would like to thank McLaren for giving me the opportunity to be with them this season." Martin Whitmarsh with Jenson Button and Sergio Perez at the launch of the 2013 McLaren "It has been an honour for me to have been in one of the most competitive teams in the sport and I do not regret even a bit having joined them. I have always given the best of me for the team and still despite this I could not achieve what I aimed for in this historic team." "I am committed to deliver very good results in these last two races, especially in Austin. I am so much looking forward to see all my people gathered there, feel their energy and show them the best of me." "I would like to say to every single one of my fans around the world and in my country that I am eternally grateful to them. They have never let me down, especially in difficult moments like these. I truly appreciate their support, they have never forgotten me." "I have met a lot of new people at McLaren this season and I have made many good friends as well. From the top management level to marketing, accounting and engineering departments to the mechanics, the cooks, the catering people and basically everyone in the team, I am eternally gratefuly to them. It has been a learning experience to me." Sergio Perez on occasions bettered Jenson Button during the course of the season With his McLaren career just 19 races long, Perez's 2014 plans to stay on the F1 grid now appear uncertain and thanks to backing from Telmex he has already been linked with seats at Force India, Lotus and even a return to Sauber. "I would like to wish the team the very best in the future. I will always be a fan of McLaren, in the meanwhile I will be looking at my future to ensure my position in the best possible package to fight for wins," Perez declared. "Thanks to McLaren and all its partners for this season, you can rest assured that I will never give up." The revelation by Perez appears to have not been expected by McLaren. The team resorted to Twitter with a message from team boss Martin Whitmarsh in which he commented: "We would like to thank Checo for being a fine team member during the 2013 Formula 1 season." McLaren are yet to confirm either of their drivers for 2014, but Button has reportedly signed a one-year contract extension, with Magnussen clear favourite to fill the second cockpit with the team. Perez will contest both the United States Grand Prix and the Brazilian grand Prix for McLaren, before departing. (GP247) Subbed by AJN.

It seems the last straw was the abu dhabi grand prix his pace was well down and the powers that be noticed. Force India can get rid of Sutil and have to drivers who can score points. Empee "Force India can get rid of Sutil and have to drivers who can score points." If they can take a moment from crying about how the tires ruined their season. Spartacus It's a dignified end to Perez's time at McLaren. Respect. stoner "Force India can get rid of Sutil and have to drivers who can score points." Force India needs regular point scoring driver and not like Perez Ukwhite McLaren is disappointing again… First, they should not have taken Perez Second they delayed this announcement to Perez's detriment. Third, they wrongly mismaneged this young, full of emotions guy, Sauber was better and he delivered. Not Cecco's fan, but I do believe a better car, right relation would have helped him. He is not bad in fact, generally speaking if you reach F1, you can deliever under the right circumstances. Don't forget this guy helt at bay Lewis and Alonso a few times. Rt Jenson has a decade of F1 experience over Checo, has 4 years Mclaren experience over Checo and is a world champion. Yet in his first year at Mclaren Checo was only beaten by Button by 1.7 points per race. That says it all. This is such a stupid move by Mclaren. torque I've got a 'messgae' to the author of this article… Get a proof reader! Good luck Sergio. Hawk No. You all miss the point. Checo is not bad. McLaren did not imply that. It's just that Magnussen is better and a year in F1 is a lot of time lost. Ed Yeah there goes the coolest helmet design of all time in F1 Fletcher Man they are going to get booed in Austin. I lost a lot of respect for McLaren. Magnussen will do fine. He is there golden boy. Button you're next in line to get axed. I hope Checo finds a seat but I really doubt it. McLaren screwed him. McLarenfan @Ukwhite; I would agree but if you look back after McLaren put pen to paper his races were terrible, people were already asking then if McLaren had made a mistake, but look at PDR first half of the season sweet then a run of bad luck now he is on again it can happen. But in raw pace they have all the data and Checo is well down compared to Button who is his bench mark and they say he can't claw that back. I think he should have no problem getting a seat for next year as he has potential but he isn't a rookie with pace out of the box, lets see how Magnussen shapes up with the big boys. iceman 2.0 Baby checo got screwed big time….it will be a race against time to secure a seat for 2014. Mcleren took full advantage of his management's laziness. He needs to fire his manager right away. Got a valuable lesson though. No one is your friend in this cut throat competitive world. You are on your own. Life is hard but you need to bounce back harder. But on the hind side he lacked any class whatsoever. Only raw aggression and a bit of madness. Mcleren did little to polish his roughness and hone his skills. I personally believe communication gap did it. Again he was not that far from Button in terms of speed. Surely a veteran like Jenson who has been around for ages will have an advantage in the team. Yet the kid held his own and button was never able to blow him away. JB is past his prime and and not much of a force anyway. Mcleren are making blunder after blunders. They should have got Hulk but instead got afraid of his bulk. Persisting with pereZ and ousting the aging British driver would have been a more mature decision. They can however spice up things if they are able to lure the disgruntled Spaniard into their stable and give him the number one status with or without Button alongside. Game on !!

Menswear in Italy: Brioni
Brioni Bespoke: When You are Bonding with the Best
While one often says that a man need not spend a lot to look like a million bucks, the truth is, it helps. Which is why a suit from Brioni costs an arm and a leg: the range begins from $3000 and may go way up. In short, there is nothing that represents the good life, suave charm, poise, and distinctive individuality like a suit from Brioni.
Brioni and Bond: A Lasting Legacy
Ask Bond, James Bond. Brioni had dressed all the Bonds from Goldeneye to Casino Royale. From Savile Row in London, Bond had come all the way to Italy in the last decade to lend his suits a postmodern edge.
Lindy Hemming, the costume designer for Bond throughout this period, says of the attitude and ethics of the house of Brioni: "They were absolutely open to any sort of idea. They have a lifetime of making clothes for presidents and politicians, and they don't have that thing that they can't change what is going on. Whether it be 13 inside pockets, or one jacket with no vents and another that needs to open down the back".
The Brioni Story: Creative Innovation
Of course, in the world of handcrafted men's suits Savile Row is still the first name that comes to mind, but its influence today is seen in the legacy of those like Nazareno Fonticoli, who helped found the house of Brioni in 1947.
Fonticoli was trained at the Abruzzo school of tailoring, which combines the peerless cutting and stitching techniques borrowed from Savile Row with more relaxed, Mediterranean-inspired silhouettes.
Along with his Roman partner, Gaetano Savini, Fonticoli opened one of the first fashion houses for menswear, and named it after the the Croatian islands of Brijuni (pronounced Brioni), a glamorous golf and polo getaway, haunted by Italian and other European aristocrats in the 1920s and '30s. The two partners recognized a demand for effortless, moneyed elegance in well-heeled men anxious to gloss over the hardships of post-war life, especially the Italians, for whom presenting the bella figura was of prime importance.
The partners set about with a passion for perfection in a world ravaged by a recent war, reinventing classic modes of menswear, which quickly became popular with the rich and the famous even across the Atlantic. In the 1950's, the house of Brioni began to attract clients like Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, John Wayne and Kirk Douglas, to name but a few of the many that flocked the house in search of a unique sense of style,. The big-framed American men gained a certain savvy European charm, a degree of sophistication matched only by Savile Row from Brioni's slim and discreet "continental" silhouette. A trim silhouette meant that Brioni could experiment daringly in terms of fabrics and colors, using silks and brocades in menswear for the first time. This led to the gorgeous feel and absolute luxury that have remained the hallmarks of a contemporary Brioni suit.
In a fashion scene that had so far only witnessed women's shows, it was Brioni that introduced men to the ramp at a show held in 1952 in Palazzo Pitti. This was followed up with one in New York two years later, as well as in other cities of America. This first complete menswear collection generated quite a buzz, as did the cuts and silhouettes that the house featured. Italian fashion underwent a renaissance of sorts in that decade, and Brioni was at the forefront of all the action, soon opening outlets in all the major capitals of the world.
Brioni's specialty is the painstaking care taken by the house to perfect each detail : buttonholes, lapels, and pockets are just so, and not a millimeter removed from how and where they should be. They are one of the few menswear houses that truly do a bespoke (a term derived from English tailoring, where a length of fabric was kept aside as spoken for by the customer), a garment totally customized not only to an individual's bodily proportions and taste, but even to their professions, and discreet, often unspoken needs.
The Brioni Bespoke: Luxury and Uniqueness
Bespoke is totally different from made-to-measure, as the ex-chairman of Brioni, Umberto Angeloni once explained: "Bespoke is where the suit is made from your measurements exclusively, from scratch. We still do this, in Milan and Rome. Everyone now says they do bespoke, but what they mean is made-to-measure. That is where an existing suit design is adapted to your shape." Dozens of additional features like secret pockets, special flower buttonholes along with impeccable, lifelong service distinguish this house from others in the field.
Most importantly, a significant amount of skilled hand work is involved, and if so required, a suit can be totally made by hand, something that was the rule with Brioni before the 1960's. The people who craft a Brioni are trained at its own schools, a tailor is coached for four years before being allowed to handle actual fabric for clients, and it would take two years of honing before a seamstress is allowed to punch a buttonhole.
Brioni has helped define and today represents what one thinks of as "typically Italian". Its suits somehow transform you. They subtly broaden your shoulders, tuck in your waist, and make you stand tall, molding your body according to the jacket - a distinctive attribute of Italian tailoring.
Brioni offers more than 5,000 exquisite fabrics to choose from, including but not limited to the finest super-spun wools, the best of silks and silk-blends, cashmere, and baby alpaca. The linings are as good as the surface fabric: cashmere and silk are regularly used. For those who travel long and often, lightweight, more resistant and wrinkle-free versions are available with special stretch fibers, of which a great example is Escorial, the first natural fiber to demonstrate stretch and wrinkle-resistant properties. Brioni has a patent for Escorial.
Brioni Heritage and Tradition
Brioni's success lies not only in its superlative deftness in cutting, fitting and stitching or in its service, but also in the brilliance of its managerial strategy down the years. From the groundbreaking introduction and use of semi-automation in the 60's without sacrificing quality in order to cope with rising demands, providing the same luxurious fabrics in its ready-to-wear as in its exclusive bespoke line, and its respect for its heritage, which means that some of the age-old secret techniques remain unchanged, Brioni has ensured a lasting legacy.
The house is not ubiquitous. It lends its name with caution, and maintains a strictly in-house, hands-on, hushed production policy. Even when it was Bond's official designer, it did not do much to cash in on the advertising opportunity, other than crafting a series of exclusive £3,000 Bond-themed tuxedoes that had "James Bond" stitched into their silver linings. These were available at select stores just before the release of Casino Royale.
Brioni has an exclusive clientele of approximately 25,000 privileged customers, who swear by its perfectionism, intuitive grasp of customer needs, and unobtrusive, unflaggingly patient service.
It is only in 2001 that the house made a foray into women's clothing, lending it the same structured, tailored look that a lady accompanying a Brioni man is likely to wear. Traditions are the cornerstones of Brioni, and even as it explores womenswear, it does so keeping in mind its own long heritage of impeccable quality.
Brioni is all about a sense of style, a style that is ageless and will remain a faithful and indispensable part of your wardrobe for years and years.
It is about being unhurried: in this fast-paced world, being deliberate can be a luxury, a consummation of hidden efforts.
The house does not follow the frantic passage of trends supported by other brands, because in the two months, several fittings and the minimum of 185 steps it takes to make a suit, the age of a vogue in the rest of the fashion world is almost over.
A typical Brioni handmade suit would go through 10 hours of sewing by hand, 18 hours of fine craftsmanship for buttons and so on and 42 stages of ironing. This is precisely why Brioni is never out of fashion, its very perfection sets it apart, beyond the reach even of other reputable brands. The likes of Kofi Annan, Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Richard Gere would testify to this.
Brioni is summed up perhaps the best in the words of one of its present master-tailors, Mr. Savarese: "Brioni, the quintessential name in luxurious hand crafted menswear, has for over fifty years brought its singular Roman sophistication and sartorial elegance to the most discerning clientele. Some of the world's most illustrious politicians and businessmen choose Brioni as their 'power suit' to showcase their elegance and individuality."

Great Article!! It is my dream to one day learn the art of tailoring. I want to be able to continue the art and tradition of such a great craft. I am from the United States and we do not have very many tailoring schools. When I found out about Brioni's school for tailoring I decided to try and apply. However I cannot find out any information on the web about apply to the school. I was wondering if you or anyone else knew any information on the process?
Thank you so much for your time and I hope someone can find the time to help me.
Wonderful article about the art of tailoring men's suits. I teach tailoring and will be coming to Italy soon. Can you recommend a tailor that I can
visit to see the beautiful workmanship, or perhaps a mill where the fabrics are produce.? Thanks
I am very excited. I did not know what a Brioni suit was, but saw a high quality suit on the rack at the Salvation Army, for eleven dollars!
I looked up the label for info on the web, and nearly passed out, when I found out what a Brioni is worth! I took it to our local mens shop, to have it taken in.. The tailor said it is one of the finest suits hes ever seen, and would not touch it. He says I need to ship it off to a specialty tailor.
Obviously someone had no idea what they were giving away, and I just won the lottery!
Best wishes for you both , certainly I'm a Chinese college student . Hope you all the happiness in the world and every success on your business.
In the 1980s, I purchased a Brioni suit at Sym's in Paramus, New Jersey. It cost me $300 and was the most expensive suit in the store. I had never heard of Brioni before then and did not realize what I had purchased. I guess I got a great deal on that suit as I see a Brioni suit now sells for $4,600 at Neiman Marcus. What did a Brioni suit retail for in the late 1980s? Just curious.
Лощёный импортный костюм
Медведев показал народу,-
в нём всё: учёность, зрелый ум,
и лацкан, лацкан бесподобный.
Что за невиданная ткань!
Чуть плечиком вильнёшь позёрским-
и вот лазоревый туман
играет средиземноморский.
Но где такой добыл отрез
для замысла Москвы Brioni?
Был поднят на ноги Триест?
Разыскан человек в Вероне?
О, как из глуби рукава,
сам воздух вдруг пронзив плебейский,
отняв дыханье и слова
сверкнул хронометр европейский,
сверкнул и спрятался, и здесь
Европа связи обрывает,
и остаётся всё, что есть-
тьма азиатчины без края.
А пуговиц блестящий ряд
идёт чредой, как ряд Указов,
и всё венчает круглый взгляд
и лоб, широкий до отказу.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S4: first look
Most companies have one flagship smartphone, but for Samsung, it's safe to presume that they have two – one for the first half of the year, another for the second. From what we've seen so far, Samsung's Galaxy Note smartphones have always followed after its Galaxy S series smartphones. Not every company is fortunate like Samsung, which seemingly has a one-two punch with its offerings. There might be many similarities between the the Galaxy Note 3 and S4, but at the end of the day, they still boast their own unique features to make them powerful contenders in the space.
No surprises here folks, these two are closely related to one another with their designs. In fact, the Galaxy Note 3 utilizes the same design characteristics of the Galaxy S4, which is evidenced by its thin profile, silver trim bezel, lightweight feel, and plastic construction. However, unlike the Galaxy S4 and its glossy finish, the Note 3 exudes a more sophisticated look with its faux-leather finish and stitching – giving it the more elegant look between the two. When it comes to size, there's no arguing about how the Note 3 is the bigger of the two, resulting in more two-handed operation than anything else.
Everyone loves phones with big screens, and that's what you're going to see here. Yes, one is big, and the other is simply bigger. To be exact, it's a 5-inch display on the Galaxy S4 – while it's an even bigger 5.7-inch beast on the Note 3. However, seeing that they're both Super AMOLED displays that feature 1080p resolution, they exhibit the same likable qualities. There might be a slight advantage on paper for the Galaxy S4 when it comes to pixel density, but seriously, your eyes would barely tell the two apart from a normal viewing distance. In addition, there's the hovering functionality in tow with both displays, but it's handled different with each. To be exact, the Note 3 relies on that S-Pen, which is pressure sensitive as it touches the display – while the Galaxy S4 tracks our finger.
Running Sammy's TouchWiz Nature UX, the general look and feel of their software experiences are similar, but each has its own unique set of features. Seeing that the Note 3 is all about the S-Pen, the features associated with its S-Pen functions specifically target those who are big into note-taking, drawing, and organization. With that fancy S-Pen, we're able to jot down notes, draw masterpieces, and even multi-task in more ways than the Galaxy S4. However, the Galaxy S4 has more diversity when it comes to interaction. For example, it employs various Air Gestures to enable us to do things like scroll vertically in the browser, move between images in the gallery, and even forward/reverse a music track – all by waving our hand over the display. We'll be blunt and say that these smartphones have software features that can be regarded as useful or pointless, but it'll ultimately depend on the user to determine that.
Processor and memory
Being the newer device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 benefits more by having the latest hardware – it's a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset with the 3GB of RAM and the Adreno 330 GPU. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S4 features a 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and the Adreno 320 GPU. Quickly checking out the two, we do notice that the Note 3 is just a smidgen more responsive than the Galaxy S4, which at times exhibits some jerkiness moving about the homescreen.
Although it's not a deal breaker for some, we're always humbled to know that the majority of Android smartphones from Samsung continue to pack microSD card slots, which is what we see here between these two.
From the looks of it all, these two share the same exact camera gear – a 13-megapixel auto-focus camera that features a backside illuminated sensor, LED flash, and 1080p video recording. From our experience, we already know that the Galaxy S4 is one heck of a wonderful device for shooting photos and videos, so we would be inclined to expect the same out of the Note 3 as well.
Heading into the busy holiday season, Samsung is in a great position with these two offerings. They look the same and feature many commonalities, but despite that, they still lay claim to their own unique set of features. On one hand, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is positioned as the flagship device for the company – giving it the broader appeal between the two. We won't deny that the Galaxy Note 3 will do well in the space too, but it still continues to target business professionals more than anything else, which is attributed mostly to its S-Pen functions.

2. monomilkman (Posts: 25; Member since: 11 Feb 2013)
so I have an S4, is it worth upgrading to the Note 3?
5. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1054; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
Of course not. The only noticeable difference between the two is the size.
6. E.N. (Posts: 2362; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I'd say no. Almost all the worthwhile additions REQUIRE the use of the S-pen. I feel like they'll have a better implementation of the features in the S5 (like they did with air view).
If you want a legitimate note taking device (more than just random scribbles of notes/phone numbers and scrapbooking,) I'd use the money for a Galaxy Tab Note.
22. Faslane (Posts: 5; Member since: 30 Sep 2013)
You get more ram and a faster CPU and a bigger device but is that enough for you to switch? not sure. Hell I would I know I would becuae of the S-Pen and bigger screen to use it on but that's just me. What the hell, Do IT! sel the S4...you only live once! I just ordered mine and shipping overnight so fingerscrossed it'll be here tomorrow or WEd. Oct 2nd. Cheers

You forgot a difference in camera flash-light of Note 3.
4. GeekMovement (Posts: 1521; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
So the Galaxy Note 3 doesn't have a fingerprint sensor after all?
23. Faslane (Posts: 5; Member since: 30 Sep 2013)
Not whatsoever, not a deal breaker for me as I'd never let it leave my site and it has the KNOX security option to secure stuff which is highly rated so I'll put sensitiive data in a knox container.

Note 3 best phone until Note 4 comes out!!! HANDS DOWN! End of conversation. I dont want to hear about G2, iphone 5s, HTC One MAX, MOTO X, MOTOROLA Droid Max, or any other device out there. This is the king until the new one comes out.
8. PapaSmurf (Posts: 8922; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I wouldn't say it's the best for a whole year as next year will yield to note flagships, but as of now, yes it's the best overall phone.
12. zachattack (Posts: 590; Member since: 31 Jul 2013)
That's probably the most blind ignorant comment I've ever seen, just hope you realize how dumb that looks xD
9. bugsbunny00 (Posts: 1255; Member since: 07 Jun 2013)
HANDS DOWN!hahaha non of these phones are @ peak...or the best.each one have its unique feature consumer still get what they like one either flagship phones, not one(you) thats HANDS DOWN!...

You tried to troll, but failed :)
24. Faslane (Posts: 5; Member since: 30 Sep 2013)
not at all...
CPU faster
Larger Screen
more Ram
Knox security
bigger battery (althugh slight)
and that's just off the top of my head. Similar in visual look-alike yes, specs no.

What is the jerkiness you see, John V, in the homescreen? Because you don't like the interface of the homescreen , it's not necessary call it jerk. If something it's jerk here, is you, John V with your review. Even you wrote that the Note 3 shares the same camera like the Galaxy S4, what it isn't true, because the camera of Note has 4K or 2160p recording at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps and you mentioned that. You simply omited that, because you and others reviewers of PhoneArena don't like Samsung products. You only defend the Apple products.
14. lpratas (Posts: 106; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
I wanted to write that you don't mentioned about the camera features of the Note 3 like 2160p recording at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps, John V. You simply omited that. There is a big difference between 1080p recording at 30fps and 2160p recording at 30fps. It is 4 times more than 1080p video recording, even in 1080p at 60fps there is a noticiable difference.
25. Faslane (Posts: 5; Member since: 30 Sep 2013)
I'm sure he got you the first time.
15. lpratas (Posts: 106; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
You PhoneArena reviewers only like Iphone and Ipad because they are american products and for you Android and the products of foreigner brands specially the Korean ones, are trash and s**t.
16. daniel_bargs (Posts: 325; Member since: 27 Nov 2010)
My problem with my S4 is that, i cant hold it comfortably because it is too thin and large. I like slightly thicker and smaller phones. It just feels disappointing when you came from a smaller phone.
18. Samsungadroidrules (Posts: 104; Member since: 28 Jul 2013)
Both are BEAST AND AWESOME! I have Samsung Galaxy S4, And i'm using it for almost 3 months and I have NO REGRETS that I chose it over HTC ONE, iPhone 5 or others. Now my Boyfriend is coming to you Samsung and will buy this amazing note 3! Great Job again Sammy! This Phablet is just Amazing!
20. Trex95 (Posts: 571; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
I like note 3 after i saw the introduction video that made by Samsung. But Super Amoled used to gave me some temporary colors blind.
21. Faslane (Posts: 5; Member since: 30 Sep 2013)
It's interesting to me that the S4 has the home button thats rectangular but arounder body and the note 3 has a rounder button and retangular body. The should simply trade home buttons. It looks like a mistake side by side. They should each match, rectangular home for Note 3 and rounder one for S4.

Paul Lambert's long-term future as Aston Villa manager is assured despite their shock Capital One Cup semi-final exit against Bradford.
Lambert retains the faith of Villa owner Randy Lerner even though the Midlands club are also involved in a Premier League relegation battle.
It is believed Lambert would still stay in charge even if Villa drop down to the Championship with Lerner believing he would be the right man to take them back up after his double promotion exploits at Norwich.
Villa suffered a shock 4-3 aggregate reversal against League Two outfit Bradford, who became the first fourth-tier club to reach the final of the competition for 51 years.
Villa now face another tricky tie at Millwall in the FA Cup on Friday before next Tuesday's crucial home Premier League encounter with fellow strugglers Newcastle.
But it is now understood that Lerner remains convinced Lambert is the man to take Villa forward and is aware of the need to keep calm and not overreact.
The American knew it would be a rollercoaster season in what is seen as a long rebuilding job for Lambert after the difficult times under Gerard Houllier and Alex McLeish.
Lerner was happy for Lambert to put faith in young players and the Bradford setback will also not alter Villa's attitude towards the current transfer window.
Lambert has only limited resources available and has said he will not sign players for the sake of it.

Those ports across the nation not blessed with naturally deep harbors are in a race to either benefit from an expanded Panama Canal or sit on the sidelines while their competitors reap the rewards. Securing public support and funding has never been more challenging. But the potential returns have never been greater.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates that by 2030, post-Panamax ships will become the norm. These ships will hold 62 percent of the world's container fleet capacity. Ports unable to accommodate these vessels will steadily watch their container trade erode.
What a time to be scrambling for funding for dredging projects. Funds for maintenance dredging always fall short, not even taking into account major deepening projects. Despite the economic importance of our nation's ports, tightening federal budgets mean that port directors must become more creative and resourceful in funding infrastructure projects.
None of this should come as a surprise. Even before the announced expansion of the Panama Canal, these super-sized vessels were already calling at U.S. destinations from European ports. Dredging and maintenance to meet the needs of these customers was already a priority.
The American Association of Port Authorities estimates the country's dredging needs at $1.3 billion to $1.6 billion each year. Meeting those dredging needs remains the overwhelming challenge of 2013 and beyond.

Officers collect emergency cell phones for the Secure the Call program
Secure the Call: Coalition of over 300 partners
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -
The Kern County Sheriff's Office has announced its participation in the Secure the Call 911 cell phone drive.
Secure the Call is a non profit organization that collects and prepares used cell phones to distribute free to citizens who need a cell phone for the purpose of calling 911 in the event of an emergency.
Secure the Call is a coalition of over 300 partners including police and sheriff's departments, battered women's shelters, domestic violence organizations, senior citizens groups, school crossing guards, school bus drivers, and other groups that demonstrate a need for emergency only 911 cell phones.
Secure the Call never charges its partners for the cell phones it provides and counts on citizens to supply the used cell phones needed to make the program a success.
The Sheriff's Office is hosting a collection site for used, unwanted cell phones to be donated to Secure the Call for distribution. Once phones are donated the Sheriff's Office will ship the phones to Secure the Call.
Secure the Call collects the phones, cleans them, electronically removes all information in the phone, resets them for 911 use only, and then distributes them through partnerships throughout the country.
Citizens interested in donating used, unwanted cell phones can donate them at the Sheriff's Office collection site at the Sheriff's Office Headquarters Facility, 1350 Norris Rd. in Bakersfield in the lobby of Building A.
