Atheist, you are if you don't follow any religion because you don't believe in the existence of god (I see no reason to capitalize the g). An atheist isn't guided by rules from holy books neither does she pray for herself or for others.
An atheist knows prayers don't work but actions do.
Can't imagine yourself not praying during the hardest times? That's how our minds are programmed, we have been programmed to believe in a god who is above all our troubles.
But, has the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent god helped us at all? Hadn't all those people who got into accidents, wars, troublesome situations prayed?
Let's use common sense and not some highly scientific, mathematical or philosophical reasoning to solve this mystery of god and his composition.
You know how important religion is in our everyday lives, our wars, our friendships and our peace. Currently there are 2.18 billion Christians, 2.2 billion Muslims, 900 million Hindus, 376 million Buddhists …….. but have their gods come to a conciliation?
Have Jesus, Allah, Brahma, Bishnu, Buddha and others gathered together for a peace talk like our leaders do when they have to throw somebody out of the PM's seat?
Aren't they worried about their devotees who are killing each other for them?
Since we haven't seen or heard of any such peace talks taking place above the rainbows on a beautiful day, it is sure that the gods don't exist. Or, if there's god, there is only one.
And, that one is very jealous. He (?) is a god full of bias who notes who believes in him and who doesn't, who prays to him and who doesn't. He has a Judgement Day scheduled to punish the wrong doers and prize his followers.
Looking at the activities of the highly religious people all around the globe, we are compelled to think so.
Not to forget, there are around 1.1 billion atheists, agnostics and non believers. And because, atheism isn't organised like all other religions, it hasn't caused wars, genocides, suicide bombings and riots so far.
Atheists are highly unlikely to organize themselves because atheism is basically about independence. It's a way of free-thinking. An atheist doesn't accept what has been fed to her since her birth.
An atheist doesn't believe on things which have no sound explanation. God has no proper explanation for his existence, hence an atheist doesn't accept his existence.
An atheist doesn't believe in religions and the gods humans have created.
An atheist doesn't believe in satan either. For an atheist, satan is as non-existent as god.
Why does the atheist think that there is no god?
It happens out of pure common sense.
Just think, if there was really god, why we don't see him? Why does he have to hide? Why everybody can't feel him? Is he for the select ones only?
First let's be clear about some of our gods.
Christian God – He is the most prominent god on earth. The bitter fact is that historians believe Jesus never claimed himself to be the Son of God.
Jesus' life is full of controversies. Some say
he was in India, others say he was never born from a virgin and
Virgin Mary was just a mistranslation of 'maiden' Mary from Hebrew to Greek.
Isn't the idea of a virgin giving birth is totally nonsense? Or, was Jesus the first test tube baby? Maybe he was a clone? Was Mary the first surrogate mother on the earth?
Some even say that he was not crucified, or if he was crucified he hadn't died on the cross.
Let's leave these controversies aside and deal with Jesus and Holy Father with just our common sense.
If God is omniscient (he knows everything – past, present and future), how did he fail to know that Lucifer (satan) would betray him and go away with some of his angels?
Is the Christian god so powerless that he fears satan?
If god is omnipotent (he has all the powers), why does he have to fight with satan? If he doesn't have to fight, then why we (god's children) need to fight with satan and be afraid of him?
If satan is god's own creation (how he can't be, after all god is the creator of heaven and hell), why is god playing with us? Is god a sadist who enjoys our pain, makes satan lure us and sees how we come out of it?
The idea of the christian god resembles the sadistic murderer from the movie Saw. Remember Jigsaw?
Though there are many flaws in the christian god, we fail to see them. Why? Because we have been conditioned to believe those stories written by people who lived about 2000 years ago.
The writers of Bible weren't master story tellers or mass-hypnotists. Their stories were manipulated by politicians.
Politics is older than all the religions.
I read this somewhere, it might help you understand the gist of christianity:
Christianity began as a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
When it went to Athens, it became
a philosophy. When it went
to Rome, it became an organization.
When it spread throughout
Europe, it became a culture.
When it came to America, it became
a business. When it bought and owned
the world, it became the Anti-Christ.
No surprise, when Jesus appears next, he will be crucified by none other than the Christians.
Muslim God – I'm afraid to write against him. Who knows some extreme imam may read this post and issue a fatwa against me.
Nobody is afraid of Allah, but his followers.
Common sense. Was there Allah before Mohammed was born? Was there the holy father before christ was born?
If god has to send a messiah or his own son to make people understand him, then what kind of god he is?
Will you believe me if I say that I am the son of god? Do you need miracles for my claim? Why did god show miracles through Jesus? Just to prove that Jesus is his son?
What kind of person sends his own son down among humans, has him nailed on a cross and revives him again just to prove that he is the son of god!
And, why would he send another prophet (Mohammed) again, to disprove his former son?
Do you think the almighty would want to start his religion on earth? Does he like people to pray to him, offer him valuable things and ultimately kill in his name?
Even if we aren't atheists, it's purely lack of common sense that makes us believe that the Muslim god is a just god, or a god at all. Just look at what the distorted belief has given to this world.
Hindu Gods – There are crores of Hindu gods and it will be so difficult to disprove them all with our common sense.
But know this, all the scriptures in the world are just stories written by poetic historians a long time ago.
Ved Vyasa wrote Mahabharat sitting inside a cave in Nepal. He didn't become god but his characters did. All credit goes to his art of writing.
In the same way, the credit of Ram's godliness goes to Valmiki.
Ram and Krishna were great people, so were Jesus and Mohammed. But they were simply great people, not gods.
If all great people are gods, then there are thousands. If someone claims to be god, then there are thousands of them for us to follow.
Which god is the real god among them?
Suppose, if there is a real god among all the gods, then how to know which one is real?
What if, the Hindus say Allah is the real one, or the Christians say Buddha, and the Muslims say Brahma?
According to the descriptions in all religions, god should be only one. And that one is hard to find, that's why religions have fought to prove that their god is the real one.
So, use common sense and ask, where is god when so many lives have been taken just in his name? People are confused and they are killing each other, they are confused because they don't know who he is.
If god really exists, don't you think he should step down from his heavenly abode and tell us who he really is?
A wise god shouldn't send his representative to clarify himself, neither should he send his message in some unbreakable code or verse.
His words should be crystal clear, everyone from a newborn baby to a hardened man should be able to understand him. Then only the religious wars will come to an end and peace will prevail.
But he hasn't done that so far, and pretty sure he won't.
That only proves that he doesn't exist. If he is experimenting with us, with our faith, virtue and all other things, then he is not a god but a researcher of some sort.
The all-present, all-knowing, all-powerful, most compassionate God doesn't exist.
God exists only in our imaginations, these imaginations have become so real that we are now deluded.
Now, delusion is a serious mental problem. It makes us see what is not there, makes us feel what is not there, makes us hear what is not there.
Have you heard stories of deluded people or have you been clinically deluded yourself? I have, and now I will tell you some stories of delusion.
You do this, drink alcohol for a week without proper food. When you feel that it's getting too much, stop drinking totally. Then you will understand what hallucination and delusion mean.
You will see insects running all over your body. You will pick them, squash them and throw them away. You will see people staring at you through the ceiling.
Your house falls down, your life sinks. People come to kill you, you run and hide.
You will get taken to the hospital. The doctors inject you saline water since you haven't eaten anything. They give you some chemical-tablets (medicine actually), the chemicals reach your brain cells and you get alright.
You realize that whatever you had seen, felt, run away from were just your own imaginations. Some chemical composition had gone wrong in your brain which made you see and feel all those things. You won't ever forget how real they were.
Next, I've felt this, you meditate for hours and hours. You focus your mind on the breath flowing through your nose. You watch, you sweat. You feel electric sparks running around your brain.
You feel immense sense of joy, so much that you forget yourself and become that joy. The pleasure arises out of your heart and fills the world.
The next day, you want the experience to repeat again. You see a pleasant warm light inside your mind. You feel you have reached enlightenment.
You get up from your pedestal, ready yourself for a sermon and look inside yourself. But the things are the same, you are the same old person with your worries and your lusts.
So, you go out and take some tablets, smoke some ganja (it's become legal in the US!) and feel the exact sensation that you received during your deepest meditation.
Wonder what this is? To follow god or to feel like god is already in our genes and the brain. It is only about what triggers those experiences.
During my meditations, I felt like becoming one with the universe. I looked around and saw that everything, the trees, the leaves moving back and forth in the breeze, the birds singing, the faraway hills………….. all of them were a part of me.
Not part of me but exactly, I felt something flowed within all these things (including me) and that thing was one whole building block of the universe.
That's one mystical experience I had and I simulated the same experience with a tablet and a stick of marijuana! Ain't I fucked?!
Hallucinations aren't always bad, that's one reason we slowly sink in the quicksand of delusion. We trust the illusions. We live with them, and gradually we make them real.
That's exactly what religions have done to us for centuries.
Just honestly ask yourself, what is the need for a religion? Why do we need god?
We can see the anomalies in a political leader pretty quick, we can see that he is deluding us with his sweet words and promises. Still we can't reject him outright!
But the idea of god has been fixed in our brains for centuries, it has been coded in our genes! What should we do?
That's why it's so hard to take him out.
Remember the story where a boy was kept all alone without any idea of god. One day he admired nature so much that he eventually asked, "Who made all this beautiful place?"
If we use a bit of common sense, then shouldn't his question have been, "Who am I?" Or, simply he should have become awestruck with the beauty he beheld outside and within himself.
When you see something awesome, what do you do? Do you ask who made that thing and thank the unknown maker or do you become dumbstruck with the beauty of that thing?
When you see a beautiful person, do you thank that person's parents or …….?
What I mean to say is, the idea of god is everywhere. Wherever you go, you won't ever forget god. I guess that's why god is called omnipresent.
God is omnipotent, that's why we pray to him in difficult times. It's like taking a tablet, a form of self-hypnosis. We feel more at peace after prayers.
But prayer,
according to researches, doesn't work as believed. Experiments were done with patients and prayer groups. One group of patients were informed that they were being prayed for before their operation. Other group wasn't informed but they were also prayed for, and the next group weren't prayed for at all.
Result: The persons who were prayed for developed complications due to their expectancy. Others were normal.
You won't believe it due to all the conditioning from books, movies, your family and your friends. You can just experiment yourself. Pray everyday that you will find a box full of dollars. Let me know when your prayer gets successful.
Faith is the most dangerous capability the human heart has.
It is also the catalyst for all the delusions. Faith can move mountains, faith can heal, faith can kill, faith can annihilate humanity, faith can take us where no one has ever gone before.
People in Nepal have faith in stones, Africans have faith in voodoo, North Koreans have faith in Kim, Christians have faith in Jesus, a gambler has faith in his luck, an alcoholic has faith in booze, Chinese have faith in Communism, lovers have faith in themselves blah blah blah blah.
Has our faith been productive?
So far we have seen that religion, when it is organized, is productive for its followers.
Religion has caused more wars and manslaughter than any other cause.
Religion has built walls between people, and bound them with theories when it should have freed them all.
Religion is the driving force in politics. It dominates the political scene and helps amend laws of a country.
Religion has deluded people for thousands of years. More than half of the human population consists of religious fanatics and the other half follow religion merely as a family tradition.
Christianity is the most pushy religion so far. It's focus is in converting people by hook or crook.
The importance in being an atheist
If you have followed the post this far, then you should have understood why it is so important to become an atheist.
Let's look at the importance (advantages) of being an atheist, point-wise:
1. An atheist is free of the god delusion. Hence, she has a better understanding of her life and the world.
2. An atheist is free of the satan delusion. Hence, no more witch-hunts, satanic cults and sorcery.
3. An atheist is free of religion. Hence, no more mass-hysteria, religious riots, religious wars, charity in the name of religion and unaffordable religious festivals.
4. An atheist is a free-thinker. Hence, no more poverty in creative thinking and artistic tastes.
5. An atheist, when he denounces god and his religion, will have one less reason to kill or die for. Hence, a more peaceful world can be imagined.
6. An atheist is free of religious superstitions. A free thinking atheist will also get done with cultural and traditional superstitions and lead a free life without getting restrained by irrational beliefs.
7. An agnostic atheist lives in a more peaceful harmony with his religious counterparts than Hindus live with Muslims in the about-to-erupt peaceful harmony.
8. An atheist lives his life to the fullest without getting deluded.
9. An atheist helps in the overall development of the society because she believes that hospitals, schools and bridges are more important than churches, mosques, temples and monasteries.
10. The idea of higher authority becomes useless in an atheist. Hence, no more corruption. Didn't get it? I believe that we are programmed to believe that some higher authority is always there to solve our problems.
That's why, human nature has developed into bribing higher people and praying to higher people and deities.
That's my personal thought, you may believe or disbelieve it.
11. An atheist denounces attending church, praying in temples, prostrating yourself every hour for namaz as an utter waste of time and talent.
Instead, she thinks of using that time for more productive, creative and recreational purposes.
12. An atheist is free of fear from anything like god or satan. This leads to an un-suppressed mind and hence, fewer crimes.
If you look at the history of criminals whether they be sexual molesters, rapists, suicide bombers and serial killers, most of them are religious.
The perpetrators of child molestation are usually monks, priests and other lay people who have a deep religious self. They suppress their sexual desires in the name of religion and thus, such heinous acts are committed.
13. Religion is designed to make people fear and give them ethics so they can be controlled. But it doesn't mean that an atheist won't have any morality.
I believe an atheist has a better set of ethical codes than a religious person. The morals an atheist follows should be more humane, social and contemporary.
An atheist isn't dictated from a thousand-year old book on what she shouldn't think and what she shouldn't do.
These are the things an atheist has to her advantage against this worst case scenario, where we are killing in the name of god.
My intention for this long post is not to convert you into an atheist. It is for you to decide the life you want to live, deluded or free.
I'm still in the learning process and I'd very much like to hear from you. Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.
Please, do share your opinion.

He is the author of six in-depth cases studies published by Prentice Hall in the 2008 edition of Sales Management, a textbook written by Tanner, Honeycutt and Erffmeyer.
Kollross has over 20 years of experience in sales, sales management and marketing. His most recent experience was as national sales manager for Innomark Communications, a privately held retail merchandising company based in Fairfield, OH. Kollross managed a multi-million dollar portfolio of national consumer product and retail accounts that included Kohl's, J.C. Penney, Spectrum Brands (Rayovac), Target, and Zippo.
An outstanding swimmer, Kollross was a Wisconsin State University Conference champion freestyle sprinter at UW-La Crosse, winning both the 50 and 100 freestyle events in both 1983 and 1984 and establishing conference records, one of which stood until the 2006 season. He won the NAIA national championship in the 50 and 100 free in 1984, and participated in the 1988 Olympic swimming trials. He was inducted into the UW-La Crosse Athlete Wall of Fame in 1994. Kollross was the volunteer assistant coach of UW-Eau Claire Blugold men's and women's swimming and diving team in 2005-06, interim coach in 2006-07 and head coach in 2007-08.
He is married to Linda, a psychiatrist with Marshfield Clinic. Together they have three daughters.

Monster quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 chip first global appearance will be on an LG smartphone
Earlier, Chinese Xiaomi announced the Mi-Two with the same S4 Pro chip inside for a mind-boggling price of only $310, but that phone is expected to be sold only in China.
To give you a better idea of how much faster the quad-core S4 Pro is than the current crop of chips, lets just mention that out of the box, Qualcomm's mobile development platform for it scored around 7,700 on Quadrant, more than twice better than the Tegra 3-based Nexus 7. Here is Qualcomm's official announcement:
Qualcomm will supply the latest Snapdragon™ S4 Pro platform to LG, enabling LG's new quad-core smartphone, which is currently in production with anticipated commercial availability in Korea in September and global rollout to follow. This smartphone will be the newest commercial and global device to offer a quad core CPU Snapdragon S4 processor along with 3G/LTE multi-mode capabilities, delivering a superior mobile experience for voice, web browsing, games, user interfaces and other graphics applications.
It has also been confirmed that along with the Qualcomm APQ8064 quad-core processor, the phone will come with Qualcomm's multi-mode LTE-enabled MDM9615 baseband.
Could this upcoming LG smartphone be the LG Optimus G we heard about recently? Now, that would truly be a monster phone, if rumors come true. So far, we've heard that it'd come with Android on board, a 4.7-inch TrueHD screen, 2GB of RAM and a mind-boggling 13-megapixel camera. We've also seen the mysterious LG E970 running on the S4 Pro with Adreno 320 graphics and it was the first device to beat the iPad in terms of graphical performance. If all those happen to be one device, it could easily become one of the hottest phones this fall - stay tuned.

LG? I'll pass...

Unless it's the LG Nexus... :D
If not, then you can just use Nova Launcher.
But I really, REEEEEALLY hope that the mentioned device is the new LG Nexus.

LG's hardware is beyond good, but unless they focus to improve their software support, they wont be seeing that many cult following like the Galaxy series have.

around 7700 on quadrant FTW !!!
3. CharlieAtInfinity (Posts: 253; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
LG? Really :/ :( why cant Sony put this into their upcoming flagships.. this would give S3 a tough competition!
4. loken (Posts: 462; Member since: 09 May 2012)
Ugh not Lg ... Why not Sony??
8. CharlieAtInfinity (Posts: 253; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
I really want to see a Sony Xperia flagship with this CPU paired with 2 GB of RAM, Adreno 320, 720p screen with white magic, 2500mah battery, 13mega pixel camera and it will be a killer phone in market. Ill probably end up buying it too lol but LG ill pass.. since had problem with LG phones earlier...
25. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 804; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
With Sony's trend of hardware for thier phones, I could assume your wish could only come true come CES 2013. Yes it sucks to wait that long. . .
5. Suts_97 (Posts: 124; Member since: 05 May 2012)
The good part is, all the specs are awesome, the bad part is, it's an LG phone!
6. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1058; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
I think there is a bit too much bashing on LG. I can happily admit that they are not the best ones with software updates, but let's wait and see what they bring before deciding if the phone is good or not.
(And not, I was not the one giving thumbs down to all the LG bashers)
22. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
I just hate LG's custom UI. The only UI that I really like is Blur. The new TouchWiz is pretty cool, too.

wow super.... cant wait for s4 goodness on all platform... WP8 and BB10 too!!!
13. maryaaadil (Posts: 146; Member since: 07 Apr 2012)
What about S4 Pro on Nokia, with 720p screen(nokia clear black display), pureview n wp8
51. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
Any idea if Nokia will use custom made chipsets for flagship devices?
9. redmd (Posts: 911; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
This will beat the Exynos 4 quad definitely. Samsung will make it's revenge with the Exynos 5.

In your faces, Remixfa and Kingkurogii.
"Quadcore s4 global availability - q2-q4 2013" - Remixfa
Finally got through your head how much of an ignorant fool you are regarding these matters?
28. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4433; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
darac, I know remixfa & kingkurogii are both wrong, but we don't have to call people names. lol
remixfa was only citing what WAS put out in certain cites. Qualcomm changed its course of action & released these monster chips sooner than their own timelines suggested. I think you & I were the only ones who knew the quad-core S4 Pro would be out globally BEFORE Q4.
Well remixfa I guess we were right in our timelines. This quad-core S4 Pro looks to make it to the U.S. BEFORE your Exynos 5 & your OMAP 5. So let's say this quad-core S4 Pro is @ a modest 1.7GHz (they are talking 2.5GHz) then it will indeed be just as powerful as your Exynos 5 or OMAP 5. I am willing to say EVEN more powerful.
Remember I was telling you that Qualcomm was WAY ahead in terms of development compared to Samsung's Exynos 5 & Texas Instruments OMAP 5? 2012 the year the sleeping giant Qualcomm woke up & literally took the market to be TOP in the world in terms of PURE power, performance & overall usability. I guarantee this wave will keep going in 2013.
I always knew this was going to happen. I can admit the last 2 years or so Qualcomm got caught sleeping but that rude awakening was what they needed to produce the wonderfully versatile & VERY powerful Krait S4 dual, & quad-core Pro SoC's.

you guys are hilarious. There isnt a single thing here that says definitively that the phone is happening soon. That whole last bit is pure speculation on the part of the writer. You should have learned by now to not celebrate until something actually happens. When LG publishes and OFFICIAL launch date you can get happy. When they actually deliver on that launch date, then we can talk about who was right or wrong. Dont put your cart before the horse. Do you need to be reminded of how many phones were pushed back from advertised launch dates... much less how often speculated/rumored launch dates are WRONG??? seriously?
The benchmark ranking should be like this when its all said and done
E5 quad >Pro quad >/= E5> Pro> E4 quad.
and no one "knows" anything. We are all just making our best guess from the information available... unless you have secret sources you would like to share with the group.
Darac, grow up, seriously.

I'l wait for Exynos 5
15. jove39 (Posts: 1331; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
are you sure? First Exynos5 will land with is 2core + mali-6x gpu.
18. Retro-touch (Posts: 264; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Yup I definitely don't think a flagship phone with Exynos 5 will land this year, but who knows
29. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4433; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
No flagship Exynos phone this year at all. Remember the Samsung Galaxy S III is the flagship. If the Exynos 5 ever sees a phone it will be the Samsung Galaxy S IV which will be out around June of 2013. That is the earliest we will ever see an Exynos 5 on a phone. Samsung saves the best for their flagship.
32. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
that may or may not be true. It really depends on how they want to classify the Note 2. They say its coming to tablets before phones. The note is a "phablet"... so they could classify it as either or.
I dont think its a huge chance that its going to be in the note, but dont count it out as a surprise for its unveiling in a few days. I also highly doubt they would wait till the SGS4 to launch it. That would put them well behind Q and probably TI as well. Pure speculation but the SGS4 would be either an upgraded E5 with higher clock and/or slightly newer Mali 6xx GPU (there are like 5 of them to chose from), or it will launch the E4 quad... but I find that less likely since thats desktop class performance with an even larger Mali6xx GPU.
38. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4433; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I think you are reaching out now remixfa. The Galaxy Note 2 if going to be quad-core with the Exynos 4 in it. Samsung will never make the Note 2 their flagship. The Exynos 5 will only make it to the U.S. this year if it's in a TRUE tablet not a "phablet".
I really don't think Samsung will alter their recipe for success. It has worked darn well for them.
40. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Reaching would be proclaiming we know the exact specs of the Note 2. :)
It probably will be the Quad E4, but there is still a chance that its a dual E5.
The Note 2 IS a flagship. Its a flagship of the phablet section, which is obviously growing in popularity. It does not compete with the SGS3 which is in its own "superphone flagship" category. You can have more than 1 flagship if you have more than one style of fleet... which samsung definitely does.
Their recipe for success has been power + beautiful screen + tons of features + love of XDA. Launching the E5 in the N2 does not change that.. in fact, it bolsters it.
It's all speculation either way. We will find out on what.. the 29th? Like I said, I dont think its a big chance it will be an E5 in the N2, but there is a good chance still. Its all about how Samsung wants to word "tablet/phablet/phone". Since theyve been quite sneaky lately about their products, I wouldnt assume we know much of anything about the note 2 other than basic design and size guesses.
43. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4433; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Well if you put it that way then ok I can agree with that. Samsung has the "phablet" flagship & their smartphone flagship. Let me tell you something, if the Galaxy Note 2 has an A15 Exynos 5, that will be my next phone. Unless the new Nexus has something beastly like a 2.0 GHz quad-core S4 Pro with Adreno 320. BOTH likely not to happen. lol
48. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol, keep hope alive man!
Im really hoping that with everyone making their own "nexus" devices, we will stop seeing gimped nexus phones. I want to see a true nexus superphone. Not an "almost" with a gimped camera or other specs missing like they've been doing to protect their regular phone line ups. If that comes to fruition, then the chances of seeing at least the Pro dual or E5 dual in a Nexus phone sooner rather than later are slightly better. I'd actually be surprised if the Pro Dual isnt in just 1 of these supposed fleed of Nexus devices. Someone wants a leg up over samsung. My guess will be LG since they are in desperate need of tons of positive press and they are Samsung's direct Korean rival.
36. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ill take the exynos5 dual over the Pro Quad any day of the week. A true A15 has big advantages over the Krait's pseudo A15/A9 hybrid. The pro quad is more than enough for anyone though.
26. maryaaadil (Posts: 146; Member since: 07 Apr 2012)
Yeah, it's am waiting for note 2(exynos 5).........
12. wendygarett (unregistered)
Ever since the jellybean released, I have no interest about how good the chips are right now
My friend has galaxy nexus and nexus7 and I try both, and both run fast apps and same speed of internet browsing... Nothing difference... Even though galaxy nexus has older spec...
31. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4433; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Exactly, Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean is a smooth as the butter used on Alaskan King Crab legs. Man I love sea food. lol :-)
I think the chips are getting so powerful that you meaning the customer will never be able to see the difference. Where the differences are going to be seen, will be in terms of battery life. Again Qualcomm has a distinct advantage because it ALREADY uses 28nm tech which is proven to give better battery life & performance.
Qualcomm's next gen chips will use even smaller tech than 28nm. Again HUGE advantage!
P.S. I like this avatar better than your Apple avatar. lol
34. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
agree with everything except the generalized 28nm statements. Size makes a big difference. But the way it's made makes an even bigger difference, which is why Samsung's chips are still stronger per clock at 32nm and "only" an A9. slight correction to your statement :).
Also, its going to be a few years before you see anything below 28. They havent even gotten that process up to speed yet. Dont quote me on this, but off the cuff I think the next step is 22nm but your talking 2014 before we ever see anything tangible from that.
39. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4433; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Yeah but it's proven that 28nm is more efficient that 32nm. That was my point. Battery life will be the differentiator of chip sets basically from now on because they are now just way too powerful in my opinion.
41. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
if the core manufacturing processes are the same, yes, then 28nm will be more efficient than 32nm.
However, its also been proven by the exynos vs the krait that if the 32nm manufacturing process is more advanced, it will still be a more powerful and less battery hungry chip than the 28nm. Thats my point. It takes more than just flour to bake a cake. :)
14. redmd (Posts: 911; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I'll get this if the Note 2 gets unimpressive.
16. wando77 (Posts: 328; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
Think you guys should reserve judgement. Weren't Samsung phones a bit naff before the galaxy s range? Their hardware and software has got better and better since the release of that series of phone. This could be LG's galaxy s for all you know
17. jove39 (Posts: 1331; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Qualcomm is on roll...they made smart move to go with krait cores for next gen soc... instead of A9 4core...and now they are first in market with 2 and 4 core krait based soc...good!
19. Retro-touch (Posts: 264; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Krait soc is not A15 by the way, its similar to ARM Cortex A15 but is slightly inferior (Google it). Only Qualcomm use Krait based soc's
20. jove39 (Posts: 1331; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
where in above post I said krait is same as A15?
23. jove39 (Posts: 1331; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Google it? No one has authentic comparison...commercial A15 soc isn't even out yet!
27. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you should google that. Samsung has benched the A15 Exynos5 live for people.

55. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
intel wont make much of a splash in android. They are going to be more in the Windows 8 Pro tablets than anything. I still dont see them taking a major chunk of the mobile processor pie anytime soon.

59. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
yeah... as far as i know intel is making a processor base on their aging cores...
but it will be irrelevant since these people are so hungry about quad cores...
intel even say that android isnt ready for dual and quad cores...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The chief U.N. envoy to Myanmar says the government's willingness to talk with a detained pro-democracy leader marks a "historic opportunity."
But the envoy is calling for the release of all political prisoners after a deadly crackdown on protesters.
He says he's "encouraged" that Myanmar's military ruler may be ready to meet with detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi under certain conditions. Those include ending calls for international sanctions against Myanmar.
Also today, the U.N. secretary general condemned the use of force against peaceful demonstrators in Myanmar. Ban Ki-moon called the actions "abhorrent and unacceptable."

Bringing mindfulness into the world can be challenging. We can, however, turn the world into a place of practice. Each moment we live is a chance to be mindful and present, never to be repeated again. Developing mindfulness is important to help us live presently in life. Here we look at a few personal and reader tips that have helped us view the Big Blue Room as a place of practice and mindfulness.
- Take a breathe
Remembering to breathe is hard work. Sometimes just seeing it in writing is enough to bring you back. Did you just take a very nice relaxing breath? I did. It also builds on itself, soon you'll be remembering to breathe far more often.
- Smile in public
Not only will you feel better just for smiling, but when you engage someone, there's a huge energy exchange and rush. When people smile back it often makes my day.
- Spot your moods and how moods effect your life
The same task done in two different moods will result in two different results. Take note of how your mood affects outcomes.
- Feel your body, how it is?
Notice how you position your body and it affects you. Try notice if you hold your body tense, or if it's open and free.
- Eat mindfully
Thinking about what has died and the work involved to get food on your plate. Regardless of meat, grain, life has ended, work has been involved in bring you the food. Bring gratitude to a meal really helps you appreciate and taste your food.
- Notice when entering a new space
This is one of Gil Fronsdal's favourite practices. Whenever walking through a door archway come back and recognise something is ending and something new is starting.
- Try feeling any jewellery you wear as often as possible
Anything objects you come in contact with is grounded in the present. Using jewellery is a great way to come back. My Mala gently brings me back many times a day
- Let the phone ring a bit, breathe first
The phone in this way becomes a gift, a chance to hear chimes and be mindful. It rings, you come back and breathe. The person who's called gets a 'fresh' you, present and here.
- When walking a familiar route, notice something new. (Thanks Evan)
- Listen to all the surrounding sounds
The tap of computer keys, the twirping of birds, the slight drone of a plane overhead, and the sound of my own steps walking. (Thanks Eric)
- Notice the insects
Be aware of the smallest ant, the quietest moth, the stillest caterpillar… to be mindful of these focuses all of your attention in the now.(Thanks Bruce)
- Lay in the grass
Don't feel foolish about it, just feel the grass and the air and the sun on your skin. it always brings me right into the moment and gives me a sense of childlike wonder that lasts the rest of the day. (Thanks Priscilla)
- Be kind, graceful and slower (Thanks Lobster)
Please add your own suggestions and examples in the comments. I'll update the post with reader suggestions and back-links.

Understanding Tornadoes
So what exactly is a tornado? A tornado is "a violently rotating column of air, pendant from a cumulonimbus cloud and nearly always visible as a "funnel" cloud." On a local scale, a tornado is the most destructive of atmospheric phenomenon.
A tornado has five stages that it will undergo during its life cycle:
- A rotating column of air will form within a cumulonimbus cloud and extend toward the ground. This can be seen as a rotating funnel that dropping out of the bottom of the cloud towards the ground. Until the rotating funnel reaches the ground, it is called a "funnel cloud."
- When the rotating column of air reaches the ground, it is now called a "tornado." The funnel can be seen touching the ground, and sometimes dust and debris can be seen swirling about on the ground before the tornado actually touches down.
- Once the tornado reaches "maturity," it is almost always vertical and touching the ground. At this point, anything the tornado encounters is severely damaged or destroyed.
- During the "shrinking stage," the funnel will become narrow and less vertical. In this stage, the damage path becomes smaller.
- When a tornado reaches the "decaying stage," the funnel is stretched into a rope shape. The visible portion becomes contorted and finally dissipates. This stage is also called the "rope stage."
The severity of a tornado is ranked by the following Fujita Scale:
|Sustained Winds
|40 - 72 mph
|Chimney damage, tree branches broken
|73 - 112 mph
|Mobile homes pushed off their foundations or overturned
|113 - 157 mph
|Considerable damage. Mobile homes demolished. Trees uprooted
|158 - 205 mph
|Roofs and walls torn down. Trains overturned. Cars thrown.
|206 - 260 mph
|Well constructed walls leveled
|261 - 318 mph
|Homes lifted off foundations and carried considerable distances. Autos thrown as far as 100 meters.
Tornado Watches and Warnings
People often misunderstand the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning. When a tornado watch is issued it means that the atmospheric conditions are capable of producing a tornado. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has been detected or actually spotted by someone on the ground. So, when you hear of a tornado watch being issued, you should pay close attention to weather updates and the weather conditions in your area (and plan accordingly). You should always seek proper shelter when a tornado warning is issued for your area.
Also, you'll notice that watches are usually issued across very broad areas. Warnings are usually localized in a single county or a cluster of neighboring counties.
Surviving a Tornado
Knowing what to do during a tornado and having a plan of action is key to your survival. However, you should note that your plan will vary according to your surrounding and the availability of a proper shelter.
Houses (with foundations)
You and your family should have a room or area within your home designated as a tornado shelter. A basement will offer the most protection. If your home does not have a basement, a bathroom or closet on the bottom floor of your home is the best place to go. If possible, choose a bathroom or closet that is located towards the center of your home. Place a cushion of some sort over you and your family for extra protection.
Mobile Homes
Mobile Homes offer terrible protection from tornadoes. Straps or any other sort tie-downs are no match for the extremely high winds associated with tornadoes. If you live in a mobile home, your plan should include leaving your mobile home to seek shelter elsewhere. Many mobile home communities offer recreational buildings or laundry rooms that can serve as a more suitable shelter. As a last resort, lie down in a ditch or low spot in the land. Yes, being in a ditch is safer that staying in a mobile home.
The high winds associated with a tornado can toss even the biggest truck like a tin can. Therefore, do not seek shelter in an automobile. Also, do not try to out-run a tornado. Go inside a nearby sturdy building or, as a last result, lie down in a ditch or other low spot in the ground.
Videos seen on television have made taking shelter beneath an overpass a popular thing to do during a tornado. You should know that overpasses are not an ideal shelter and can actually increase the probability that you will be injured. This is because the already excessive winds can be further accelerated beneath the overpass.
Hotels, Shopping Centers, and Office Buildings
Take shelter in an interior hallway on a lower floor. A closet, bathroom, or other small room with short, stout walls will offer some protection from collapse and flying debris. Otherwise, get under a piece of heavy furniture and stay away from windows. Many tornado deaths are due to the collapse of a wide spanning walls. A corner area, away from windows, is more safe than the middle of a wide spanned wall.
Out in Open Land
When you see severe weather approaching, you should seek inside shelter immediately. If no shelter is available, lie down in a ditch or depression in the ground and cover your head and neck. Be aware that you are also exposed to falling trees/limbs, lightning, and flash floods.
All public schools have reliable ways to monitor tornado watches and warnings, and each school has a designated emergency plan that will lead pupils and faculty to designated safe areas. Teachers should lead students out of gyms, auditoriums and portable classrooms to interior rooms and hallways on ground level floors. Students should stay away from glass, both in windows and doors. They should crouch down and seek shelter under a classroom desk, if possible. Otherwise, they should make themselves as small as possible, being sure to cover the head.
Theaters, Auditoriums, and Warehouses
Move into a small interior room such as a closet or bathroom. Otherwise, you should evacuate the building and search for more suitable shelter, if time allows.

'I just received my wedding napkins and I would like to say that words cannot express how delighted I am. My napkins are beautiful. At first I was skeptical about my purchase because this was an online company and the price was reasonable and weve all have heard the saying that you get what you pay for. But I must say that I am remarkably pleased. Thank You, Thank You & Thank You !!!!'

Tips for Ordering Wedding Napkins
Ordering personalized napkins for your wedding or special celebration? Here are some questions commonly asked by our customers.
1. What napkin size should I order?
The first thing that needs to be determined is the proper napkin size to order. There are 4 basic sizes to consider when ordering your printed napkins.
Cocktail napkins
(also referred to as beverage napkins) measure 5 x 5 and are typically used for serving drinks at the cocktail or juice bar during cocktail or social hour. The bartender will place a cocktail napkin under each glass when serving your guests.
Since guests will normally return to the cocktail or juice bar several times, it is recommended that 2 to 3 napkins are ordered per each guest.
Luncheon napkins
measure 6 ½ x 6 ½ and are typically used for wedding reception brunches, luncheons, dinners and at the wedding cake table.
Luncheon napkins can be stacked or arranged at a buffet table or placed on the guest tables either folded or lying flat.
If you plan on using personalized luncheon napkins at the buffet or the guest tables, it is recommended that 1 to 2 luncheon napkins are ordered per each guest.
One napkin per guest is sufficient for the wedding cake table as most guests will be up for a slice of cake only once.
Luncheon napkins are also popular for engagement parties, bridal showers and rehearsal dinners.
Dinner napkins
measure 8 ½ x 8 ½ and are typically used for formal wedding dinners.
Dinner napkins are normally folded and placed on the guest tables.
It is recommended that one dinner napkin is ordered per guest.
Disposable guest towels
measure 4 ½ wide x 8 ¼ long and are typically used in restrooms or washrooms as a personalized hand towel for your wedding guests.
Many people like the rectangular shape of the guest towel and choose to order for the guest tables because their shape eliminates the necessity for folding.
If you plan on using guest towels for the wash areas, it is recommended that 2 to 3 towels are ordered per guest.
If you plan on using guest towels at the dinner table, it is recommended that 1 guest towel is ordered per guest.
2. Can I match napkin colors with my wedding colors?
Coordinating your wedding colors throughout your entire wedding day can be a tedious task.
To help you keep a consistent color theme, we offer 39 cocktail
napkin colors
, 27 luncheon napkin and guest towel colors and 2 dinner napkin colors to choose from when matching your napkin colors with your wedding colors.
In the event that you cannot find a napkin color that matches your wedding colors, we recommend choosing a white napkin as your base.
With a white napkin can still match your colors by choosing one of our 70
imprint colors
to print your personalized design or monogram and text.
3. What can I print on my wedding napkins?
You have many options to choose from when ordering your custom napkins.
We have
wedding designs
to match all types of wedding themes, formal and informal.
Monograms are very popular at formal wedding receptions and celebrations.
You have the option of choosing a
single monogram letter design
or a standard,
3-letter monogram design
where you can even print the brides first name the wedding couples married name initial and the grooms first name.
And of course, we have many letter styles to choose when printing your personal text.
We can print either a design or monogram and up to three lines of custom text including the bride and grooms name, their wedding date and even a short personal thank you message, poem or phrase.
4. Can I have a custom image printed on my napkins?
Some wedding couples have a personal design or logo they want to use to personalized their wedding celebration.
At My Wedding Reception Ideas, we can make a custom plate with your personal design or logo.
Simply email us a black and white image of you design or logo in a .pdf or .jpg (jpeg) format at 300 dpi (dots per inch) resolution or higher.
We charge a one-time fee of $24.00 to make your custom plate.
Once your custom plate has been created, we can print your design on any of our personalized wedding favors.
Please note that it takes 2 days to make a custom plate plus our normal processing time of 4 to 5 days.
5. What lettering style should I choose?
Choosing a custom lettering style that matches your wedding theme can be a challenge.
That is why we offer 20 different
lettering styles
When personalizing napkins for a formal wedding, it is best to go with one of our script families. Our most popular lettering style is the Florentine Cursive family.
This graceful lettering style fits well with any formal wedding event.
For less formal or casual wedding events, we recommend our Caslon Italic Family, another popular lettering style.
From Formal Script to our simple Tempo lettering style, we offer a broad range of lettering styles to best suite your wedding theme.
6. Can I choose custom print placement on my custom napkins?
Wedding couples want their special day to be unique, right down the napkins at the cocktail bar or dinner table.
Sometimes the popular standard of centering designs, monograms and personal text in the middle of a diamond-shaped napkin just doesnt cut it.
If you would like to have your custom print oriented in a certain fashion on your printed napkins, simply choose a different placement from the placement dropdown menu.
7. How many napkins should I order?
When ordering napkins, we recommend the following guidelines:
2 to 3 cocktail napkins per guest for the cocktail or juice bar
1 to 2 Luncheon napkins per guest for the dinner tables and wedding cake table
1 Dinner napkin per guest for the dinner tables
2 to 3 guest towels per guest for the restroom or washroom areas
8. How much copy can you print on my personalized napkins?
No matter what size you choose, napkins offer a large area to add custom print, therefore we can print either a design or a single or standard monogram and up to three lines of personal text including the bride and grooms name, their wedding date and a personal thank you, poem or favorite phrase for all of your wedding guests to enjoy. This gives you up to 4 lines of custom print to make a unique statement to your guests.
9. I cannot decide which napkin color I want to order.
Can I request samples?
Although the World Wide Web is convenient and saves you a lot of running around and valuable time, it still has some disadvantages. For instance, you are looking at wedding napkins and you see several colors that will match your wedding theme but you just cant decide on which color to order without placing a sample of the real thing next to your wedding gown or table linen.
For this reason, we offer napkin and wedding favor samples.
Simply type in the word samples into the advanced search bar at the top of your screen and you will be directed to the sample request ordering page. You may order up to three samples and samples are free of charge. Just pay shipping and handling.
10. My wedding is two weeks away.
How soon can I receive my order?
With all the details of planning a wedding, small but important details can be overlooked.
Did you decide you want personalized napkins for your wedding reception at the last minute?
No need to panic!
Simply submit your order online with the rush printing option or give us a call and place your order over the phone. With rush printing, we can process most orders within 2 business days and ship to you overnight if necessary.

Van Til pleads not guilty, trial set for July
By Teresa Auch Schultz firstname.lastname@example.com May 20, 2013 12:36PM
Lake County surveyor George Van Til arrives with attorney Scott King to surrender for indictment charges at the Federal Courthouse in Hammmond, IN on Monday May 20, 2013. | Jim Karczewski~Sun-Times Media
Written statement from George Van Til
After winning 18 elections during more than 40 years in public service, I am now facing a fight for my reputation against allegations stemming from more than a year of relentless federal investigation using the government's unlimited resources. I'm determined to fight these allegations with the single most powerful resource that I have available: The Truth.
I do admit to being a politician for most of my adult life. But I have always viewed politics a mere means to the end of being a public servant. That service always has and always will come first. I, like anyone, have made mistakes among many thousands of decisions, large and small, during my four decades in public life, government and politics, but I have not done what the government has accused me of. I am a man of thoughtful ethics, integrity and intense interest in doing the right thing while doing my best for the people who have allowed me to serve them. That's my record.
I am proud of my record of service and honest work for Lake County. I love this area that has been my family's home for 110 years, where I have been civically, governmentally and politically involved and invested for more than 40 years, 20 of them as Lake County Surveyor.
I feel bad for the good name of my family. I vow to do all I can to redeem it. I feel bad for all those who have believed in my and my service. I feel bad for those who have volunteered to me with their support or dollars to help with my success and service, for the wonderful employees through the years who have worked closely with me and, most of all, the taxpayers and voters who have given me the privilege to serve. This has been a difficult time for all.
You cannot imagine what this last long year has been like, in a process that is secretive and one-sided. I am sure that I have lost years off my lifespan. But I have continued to work on good projects and policies serving the people of Lake County, as they have the right to expect from me. It has been and is difficult for me in terms of my physical, mental and financial health, but I will continue to work at being as good a public servant as I can be.
I ask only for the opportunity to respond to these allegations in a process that permits me to present a truthful response to false and inaccurate allegations. I am committed to fighting those allegations with the truth in order [sic] validate the faith and confidence that my family; friends; loved ones and, most importantly, the public has so kindly shown me over the last 40 years.

Lake County Surveyor George Van Til denied in federal court Monday morning that he used his public office and employees to help run his past four re-election campaigns and asserted his innocence in a public statement later that day.
Along with another man also accused of taking part in another local public corruption case, Van Til, 65, of Merrillville, pleaded not guilty in the U.S. District Court in Hammond to six counts of wire fraud and two counts of obstruction of justice. Wearing a pale yellow shirt, gray suit and handcuffs, Van Til answered "yes" or "no" to U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Cherry's various questions, including whether he understood the charges.
U.S. Attorney David Capp announced the charges against Van Til Friday. The indictment claims that Van Til has used the resources of his public office since 2007 to run his primary and general election campaigns for 2008 and 2012. This included using the county computer system and having employees work on his campaign, such as by working on finance reports and selling tickets for Van Til's fundraising events, while they were being paid by Lake County.
Van Til even went so far as to hire an employee in the surveyor's office to work only on his campaign and to run personal errands, the indictment claims. The employee worked at his office for about a month in 2011.
He instructed another employee in February 2012 to replace a county hard drive, saying the FBI should not find it, and that the employee should forget this conversation if anyone asked the employee about it.
The indictment claims Van Til continued to use county resources through December, about six months after the investigation into him became public.
Van Til released a written statement through his attorney Scott King after the hearing. In the statement, Van Til says he's suffered from the federal government's year-long and "relentless" investigation.
"I'm determined to fight these allegations with the single most powerful resource that I have available: The Truth," Van Til says in the statement.
He cites his family's long history with Lake County and his own 40 years of civic work, including his 20 years as surveyor.
He writes that he also would continue to serve the public to the best of his abilities, despite the investigation and criminal case.
"I ask only for the opportunity to respond to these allegations in a process that permits me to present a truthful response to false and inaccurate allegations.
Trial date of July 29 given
Assistant U.S. Attorney Philip Benson told Cherry during Van Til's arraignment that he expected the trial, which has been set for July 29, to take about a week. King said he had seen only the indictment and did not know how long the defense might take.
Cherry ordered Van Til, who had turned himself in that morning, to be released on a $20,000 bond.
Vahan Kelerchian, 53, of Richboro, Pa., also pleaded not guilty before Judge Cherry Monday morning in a separate case on nine counts related to working with then-Lake County Sheriff's Department officers Joseph Kumstar and Ronald Slusser to illegally buy and sell gun parts and laser sights.
Only the military and law enforcement agencies are allowed to buy fully automated machine guns and laser sights. According to a federal indictment, Kelerchian, who owns a company that sells guns mostly online, worked with Kumstar and Slusser to use their position with the sheriff's department to buy these guns by fooling the gun and laser sight makers into thinking they were selling the guns to the police department.
The men would instead intercept the shipment and sell the 74 laser sights they bought online to anyone. They took the 71 guns and took them apart. They then sold one part, the upper barrel, online. The upper barrel is highly desired because it can only be bought with the fully automated machine gun but can be used on many other guns.
Kumstar and Slusser were charged in the case in 2011 and have already pleaded guilty.
Kelerchian's attorney, Paul Jeffrey Schlesinger, said his client was suffering from laryngitis, and Kelerchian spoke with a hoarse voice throughout the hearing.
Benson said the government was fine with Kelerchian being released as long as he agreed that he would stay away from his business' warehouse and guns. Benson also asked that Kelerchian turn over his license to sell explosives and all the explosives at his business' warehouse to the ATF. Kelerchian agreed, and Cherry released him on a $20,000 bond.
Kelerchian's trial, which is also expected to last about a week, is set for Aug. 5.

Maxwell has insisted that Paris Saint-Germain are taking nothing for granted as they head to Chelsea with a 3-1 lead at the midway point of their UEFA Champions League tie.
Javier Pastore's 90th-minute goal at the Parc des Princes gave PSG a healthy cushion ahead of Tuesday's return game in London and Maxwell is confident they can finish the job and reach the semi-finals.
However, he is not getting carried away and says PSG must repeat their first-leg performance against a dangerous Chelsea side.
"It was a huge result. The game was very difficult, physically tough but we did a great job," said the Brazilian in the Daily Star Sunday.
"At 2-1 it was already a great scoreline When you beat a club like Chelsea it's always fantastic. But the late goal, for 3-1, makes it so much better.
"However, for us it's two feet firmly on the ground because we know how hard and tough it will be in London.
"Yes, we are very happy but we must go and do it again on Tuesday if we are to progress to the semis."
Chelsea have been criticised for the way they played in Paris but Maxwell believes they are side full of quality.
He said: "It's not for me to judge them. They have experience at the back and the up front, young, quick technical players."

zero fat, 120 calories and mmm mmm good.
i'm eating rice chex and drinking strawberry banana juice. could life get any better?! sure it could. a lot better. today just was NOT my day. i worked 12:30-9:20, for starters. people really piss me off. honestly. i wanted to just cry. everything was just adding up and i was sick of it all. 1. people leave tons of clothes in the fitting rooms! *clean up after yourself. i am there to ring up your purchases, not to clean up after you and your mess. i'd hate to see your house!*2. people say, "were there coupons in the paper that i forgot about?" we tell them that there are. and they ask "do you have any extras?" if we had extras, damn, we'd just have a sign in the front of the store that said "take 25% off of sale priced merchandise!!!" we don't just give the discount away, you morons! 3. it is impossible to work by yourself in ANY department on a friday night. absolutely impossible. if only the manager knew how big of a favor i did for her by working the shift i did instead of a much better shift of 4:30-8:30. what would she have done then?! and since i was so kind to do that for HER, why couldn't she get someone to work with ME?! is that so hard to do?!4. i took my lunch early (at 2:45 instead of 4) so kyle and i could eat lunch and he wouldn't have to wait and starve until then. and i go in there and wait for 20 minutes until he could actually leave. it's not his fault. not at all. just the fact that a co-worker of his had been gone an hour and kyle wanted to go. but anyways, by the time we ordered our food, i had 15 minutes to wait for it and eat. kyle ended eating his and mine because i had to go back to work. *but hey, now i have chex.*enough numbering my things. i quit complaining. now for something funny. they have belly button rings in the mall, right? right. well kayla and brock came in to bergners and i was talking to them and kayla told me that the place had a really "dirty" ring. and i didn't know what she was talking about. i mean, it's a belly button ring. how bad could it be? well, on my break, i ventured on down and i came to find out that well, there is one of people having sex. yep. thats right. they are having sex on a belly ring. crazy, huh? that was the highlight of my day. woooo! GUESS WHAT?! we caught my stalker. haha. my buddy jenny and he sister laura tricked him. yay! laura pretended to be me and told him she was going to give him my number but it was the police station and he called. LMAO! anyways, he gave her my password and she changed it for me. he still thinks he was talking to me. it's really hard for a lot of you to laugh as hard as us 3 did only because we know the major details but, still. it was classic. so i have my old aim sn back. if you want it, danielle, let me know and i'll give it to you. until then, i'm done updating for now. i don't know if i'll be on tomorrow night. it depends if my mom lets me stay at kyle's after the jacuzzi party. yay! swim swim swim. wooo! adios! <3 ash!
