This is the world's best phone
PUBLISHED: 05 Jun 2012 00:04:00 | UPDATED: 05 Jun 2012 12:13:34PUBLISHED: 05 Jun 2012 PRINT EDITION: 05 Jun 2012The new Samsung smartphone, Galaxy III, is mind-blowing. In a nutshell, it's simply the best.
John Davidson
When Apple released the iPhone 4S last year, reviewing it was a relatively straightforward affair. It had only one interesting new feature – the voice (mis)recognition app known as Siri.
All a reviewer had to do was talk to the phone, record the hilarious results that Siri coughed up, and Bob's your uncle, the review was done. Or Bob sure ankle, as Siri would have had it.
But with Samsung's new flagship phone, the Galaxy SIII, it's a different matter altogether. Like the iPhone 4S, it has a new voice (mis)recognition app known as S Voice – and more hilarity on that front presently – but the smartphone has such an overabundance of interesting new features, reviewing it is not straightforward at all.
At best, one can only hope to scratch the phone's glossy, Gorilla-glass surface. What with the Galaxy SIII's new camera, its face and eye recognition functions (which are two quite separate things), its S Beam function that lets you easily transfer files to other phones, and the way the phone can play a video in the corner of the screen while you're checking your email, the way it can access Russian satellites to improve GPS fix times and accuracy, the stylus drawing app borrowed from the Galaxy Note, the fast, quad-core processor and the huge, bright new screen, Bob will never be anybody's uncle. The phone is mind-blowing.
But then again, the phone that the SIII replaces, the Galaxy SII, had an abundance of new features too, such as that web control thingo that let you access your SII from a web browser. Remember that? No? Neither did Samsung, apparently. It didn't bother including that in the SIII, for the very good reason that it wasn't particularly useful. New features aren't everything. They aren't even anything if you don't ever use them.
So the question is, would you use any of the new features in the Galaxy SIII if you had one?
My word you would. The eye-recognition feature, Smart stay, that uses the front camera to check whether you're looking at the phone so it knows whether or not to turn off the display, that feature alone is worth the upgrade. It's a little further from perfect than we had hoped – you have to be squarely in front of the Galaxy SIII for it to work – but it works well enough that it mostly eliminates that huge annoyance with smartphones, that the screen goes blank unless you keep touching it.
Once you have a friend with the same phone (or once Samsung starts adding the feature to its lesser phones), S Beam is good, too. It uses a combination of Near Field Communication (for security) and Wi-Fi (for the actual transfer) to create a way of transferring files directly between two phones that's so quick and easy, people will actually bother to transfer files. Bluetooth file transfer never really worked. S Beam does.
S Voice isn't all that bad, either. In our tests it was certainly more accurate and useful than Siri, though that's not saying much.
Here is a quick sample of our S Voice versus Siri test:
Question: Where in Spain does the rain fall?
Siri: I can only look for businesses, maps and traffic in the United States, and when you're using US English. Sorry about that.
S Voice: Mainly on the plains.
Still, as it was with Siri, we suspect that S Voice won't be one of the killer new features that people use for more than a couple of weeks after they buy the phone.
Anyway, it's not actually the panoply of new features that are the best thing about the new Galaxy. Just as much, it's the way so many of the existing features have been improved, too. It's the way the music player now scans your tracks and sorts them by tempo and mood, or the way the phone shows you all the audio-related apps whenever you plug in a pair of headphones. It's the way the camera can now take a handful of shots in just a few seconds. (It's not so much the way it will then select the best shot for you. That was a bit hit and miss, and anyway storage on the phone is so plentiful – now as much as 128 gigabytes! – that you don't really need it to tell you which shots to discard). It's the video playback on the huge, 4.8-inch screen.
Now, we haven't been able to do our usual battery-life test on the Galaxy SIII, because I'm reviewing the phone by myself, on the road, and the battery-testing machine is back in the Labs.
But I can tell you this: I forgot to bring the charging cable with me on this trip, and almost two days of fairly heavy usage later, the phone is still showing 20 per cent charge. That's after hours of video watching on a plane, hours of GPS navigation, a good deal of Wi-Fi-based web browsing, and lot of music playback. I can't say for sure, but my guess is the battery life on the Galaxy SIII is exemplary.
Until the iPhone 5 comes out, the Galaxy SIII is the best phone on the market, better, even, than the HTC's aesthetically superior One X. And who knows whether Apple will beat either of those phones with its next iPhone? It has a lot of catching up to do.

When the Westerners reached China for the first time, looking at the Chinese, they laughed. They looked more like caricatures; cartoons rather than men - just four or five hairs sticking out of your face and that's your whole beard! What kind of people are these? The first Europeans wrote in their diaries, "It seems we have discovered the missing link between the monkeys and man."
And what were the Chinese writing in their journals? Even the emperor of China was very much interested in seeing the Europeans because he had heard many stories about them. They were invited to his court, not because he respected the Europeans, but just to see what kind of people these were. Never before.! And he could not contain his laughter; he started laughing when he saw the Europeans.
The Europeans were very much embarrassed: "Why is he laughing?" They were told, "That is his way of appreciating. He always laughs, enjoys; that is his way of welcoming the guests." But the reality was that he could not believe that these are human beings! He asked his people, "Have you brought them from African jungles? They look like monkeys!"
That's how the ego functions: the other is always reduced to the lowest possible; and compared to the other, one raises oneself higher.
You say, "The world seems to be getting more and more crazy from day to day." That is not right; it has always been so. Only one thing new is happening, and that is a blessing, not a curse at all. For the first time in the whole history of humanity, a few people are becoming aware that the way we have existed up to now is somehow wrong; something basically is missing in our very foundation. There is something which does not allow us to grow into sane human beings. In our very conditioning are the seeds of insanity.
Every child is born sane, and then, slowly, slowly, we civilize him - we call it the process of civilization. We prepare him to become part of the great culture, the great church, the great state to which we belong. Our whole politics is stupid, and then he becomes stupid. Our whole education is ugly. Our politics means nothing but ambition, naked ambition - ambition for power. And only the lowest kind of people become interested in power. Only the people who are suffering from a deep inferiority complex become politicians. They want to prove that they are not inferior; they want to prove it to others, they want to prove to themselves that they are not inferior, they are superior.
But what is the need to prove it if you are superior? The superior man does not try to prove anything, he is so at ease with his superiority. That's what Lao Tzu says: The superior man is not even conscious of his superiority; there is no need at all. It is only the ill person who starts thinking of health; the healthy person never thinks about health. The healthy person is not self-conscious about his health; only the sick, only the ill. The beautiful person, the really beautiful person is not self-conscious about his or her beauty. It is only the ugly person who is constantly worried and making every effort to prove that it is not so.

Fantasy alert: Knowshon Moreno could be sleeper
Posted By Mike Klis On May 25, 2010 @ 2:38 pm In General Broncos | 4 Comments
They're only running in shorts, shirts and helmets, but running back Knowshon Moreno does look good so far in offseason practices.
I thought Moreno's problem in his rookie season last year were, one, he seemed to be running a little too much on coach's instruction instead of instinct; and two, which is related to the first point, when he got past the line of scrimmage, he didn't have the explosion needed to get into the secondary.
Too often, when Moreno was in the clear after 5 yards, he was brought down on 9-yard gains instead of 29. He had just two runs of 20-plus yards among his 247 carries.
But there has been greater explosion and freelance running from Moreno during the offseason. He knows the playbook now. He doesn't have to worry about carrying out his assignments now. He can play freely. No player, in any sport, does well if they think first, then play. They just have to play. Especially running backs.
I also expect a few more rushing touchdowns from Moreno this year. If the Broncos bring in Tim Tebow on goal-to-go situations to create a run-pass option, the threat of Tebow should open opportunities for Moreno.
It was also telling that the Broncos did not add a proven NFL running back, outside of the medical gamble that is J.J. Arrington, through free agency. No running back was drafted. With backup Correll Buckhalter turning 32 this year and plagued throughout his career by injuries, Moreno will have a chance to become the Broncos' first 275-carry back since Reuben Droughns in 2004.

Everyone was on the edge of their seats during the live August 6 results show, as a whopping seven acts were sent home. See who made it through in our recap below!
America's Got Talent is getting heated! Twelve acts performed live for the first time at Radio City Music Hall on Aug. 5, and unfortunately, on Aug. 6, we had to say goodbye to seven of those acts. See who made the top five right here!
'America's Got Talent' Results — 5 Acts Move On To Semi-Finals
Right off the bat, Howard Stern defended his criticism of Juan Carlos, saying he thought the other judges were wrong and faking their amusement to his silly act. He seemed very passionate about his hatred! See what happened to Juan Carlos later in the show below.
Let's get right to it! The first act going into the semi finals — Andrey Moraru!
Unfortunately, Hart Dance Team and Darik Santos were eliminated.
Next up, Jaycob Curlee moved forward into the semi-finals. Juan Carlos was eliminated. (I'm sure Howard was thrilled!)
More Heartbreaking Eliminations
Aerial Animation was voted to move on while Loop Rawlins was sent home.
Then, season 5 contestant Lindsey Stirling returned to perform an energetic and awe-inspiring violin performance.
After Lindsey's triumphant return, we got more good and bad news.
Magician Mat Franco made it through while Livy, Matt & Sammy were sent packing.
We were sad to say goodbye to dancers John & Andrew.
Finally, the judges had to choose between ACTE II and Mara Justine.
Heidi, Mel B and Howard picked Mara.
Do you think the right acts made it into the semi-finals, HollywoodLifers?

I agree with Howard Stern about Juan Carlos. He was not funny, he was not talented, he was just boring and he took at least one spot away from a truly talented contestant. How Howie and BelB can put a contestant through who has no talent and would never make a million dollar act if he or she brought $999,999.99 in his/her pocket to the stage is beyond me. While I liked the old gentleman who pulled a car and a truck with his teeth, he too took a spot from someone who had a better chance of winning than he. Another "one trick pony" was JD Anderson: all muscle, no talent. So why did he move forward?

My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 1 of 1 reviews
"Best cigar ever for the price"
First review I've ever attempted. been smoking cigars four years now and have had some winners and some losers. I thought I'd try this torpedo after reading the reviews it's received. WOW!!!! I was not disappointed. The smoothest most flavorful cigar I have ever smoked. Up to this point the Padron 44year anniversary was the best. But for the difference in price, I can afford this a little more frequently. The spices are not the normal spice flavors I have experienced in the past. The balance and smoothness were consistant all the way through. Had to bring out the old alligator clips so I wouldn't waste any of this fine cigar!! I think this cigar can be smoked by all smokers, new and old. I won't bore you with the flavors I detected, try for yourself and see what you think. Absolutely wonderful!!

Improving access to diabetes care for children in Cameroon
In June, Novo Nordisk and the Minister of Public Health in Cameroon announced a partnership to address the needs for children with diabetes in Cameroon. The project is part of the Novo Nordisk Changing Diabetes® in Children programme which was launched in 2008.
Addressing urgent needs
With life expectancy for a child with type 1 diabetes in much of sub-Saharan Africa typically being less than one year, there is an urgent need to provide appropriate diabetes care while building the capacity in the health care system to sustain the care in the longer-term.
At present, only two clinics in the Cameroon, Yaoundé Central Hospital and Douala General Hospital, are able to offer good quality care to children living with diabetes. For many families in Cameroon and other developing countries, having a child diagnosed with diabetes can bring an overwhelming financial and emotional burden.
Children living with diabetes in developing countries are faced with numerous barriers to diabetes care: lack of trained personnel, lack of infrastructure and difficulties for patients or the family to pay for treatment (insulin, syringes and strips). These may lead to misdiagnosis, poor management, early complications and premature death of children. The Changing Diabetes® in Children programme aims to address this situation and improve care for these children and lessen the burden on their families.
Partnerships – an important part of the solution
The project in Cameroon is a five-year country project and is a partnership initiative between Novo Nordisk, the Ministry of Public Health of Cameroon, Health of Population in Transition, Roche Diagnostics, the World Diabetes Foundation, and the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes.
The project includes the setting-up of dedicated paediatric diabetes clinics for diagnosis and treatment of children with diabetes. Specialised clinics will be created in Yaoundé Central Hospital, Douala General Hospital and in each of the remaining eight regions of Cameroon. Each centre will be responsible for the management and follow up of children with diabetes living in their particular region, while the centre in Yaoundé Central Hospital will serve as the national referral centre. The project will be integrated into the existing National Diabetes Programme (NDP) of the Ministry of Public Health of Cameroon.
In addition to basic diabetes care and insulin free-of-charge, the project will provide the enrolled children with blood glucose monitoring supplies (glucometers and strips) in partnership with Roche Diagnostics. Furthermore, the project will organise training of healthcare professionals and provide patient education and children camps to support better self-monitoring. The Programme partners are collaborating to develop material for the training of healthcare professionals and diabetes educators, and education material for children and their families, adapted to the local context and needs.
About the Changing Diabetes® in Children programme
Treating diabetes in children is not the same as treating diabetes in adults. In developing countries, there is often a general lack of understanding of diabetes and the burden it represents to a child, the child's family and the community. The Changing Diabetes® in Children programme aims to address the urgent needs of these children by providing support and appropriate diabetes care while building the capacity in the healthcare system to sustain the care in the longer-term.
The Changing Diabetes® in Children programme is part of Novo Nordisk's Access to Diabetes Care strategy and builds on the UN-defined cornerstones in the Right to Health. The Programme is pursuing an initial roll-out in the five sub-Saharan countries Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea-Conakry, Tanzania and Uganda, and in Bangladesh.
By the end of each five-year project, it is Novo Nordisk's aim, that a sustainable cooperation with local partners, including governments and diabetes associations, has created a number of well-functioning diabetes clinics, built on a solid national capacity and general awareness in the field of diagnosis and treatment of type 1 diabetes in children.
Key partners in Cameroon
- Ministry of Health, Republic of Cameroon
- Health of Population in Transition (HoPiT) Research Group
- Yaoundé Central Hospital (YCH)
- Douala General Hospital (DGH)
- Roche Diabetes Care (Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd)

Celtic 3-1 Hibernian: Match Report
Hooper sends Hoops to the summitGary Hooper claimed a double as Celtic reclaimed top spot in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League with a comfortable 3-1 win over Hibernian.Rangers had leapfrogged their Old Firm rivals to the summit 24 hours earlier but their lofty status was short-lived as Celtic eased to victory.Anthony Stokes set the ball rolling before Hooper converted from the penalty spot and claimed his second shortly before half time.Liam Miller pulled a goal back from the spot before Hooper passed up the chance of a hat-trick from another penalty.Celtic made three changes from the side who lost the Co-operative Insurance Cup final to Rangers as they returned to action with the visit of Hibs.Stokes, Glenn Loovens and James Forrest all started, with Thomas Rogne, Georgios Samaras and Kris Commons named on the bench. Hibs made four changes after their derby draw with Hearts at the weekend, as Michael Hart, David Stephens, David Wotherspoon and Ricardo Vaz Te were all added to the team for the visit to the east end of Glasgow.Celtic could have taken the lead after 25 seconds when Hooper exchanged a one-two with Stokes before unleashing the shot that was blocked bravely by Mark Brown.The Hoops were ahead after four minutes when Emilio Izaguirre supplied the pass for Stokes and he sent an angled drive into the bottom corner.Celtic doubled their lead with 20 minutes gone when Scott Brown was tripped in the box by Martin Scott and Hooper lashed high into the net from the penalty spot.Celtic were still hungry for more goals and Forrest saw his shot from the edge of the box blocked, before Izaguirre ended a lovely run by blasting well over.The home side continued to press and Hooper supplied the cut-back for Stokes but he mis-kicked in front of goal and the chance was lost.Celtic had the net bulging again six minutes from the break, this time Hooper racing onto a Stokes pass before rifling home from six yards.Celtic swapped Loovens for Rogne at half-time before Hibs replaced Derek Riordan with Akpo Sodje.Neil Lennon's men still looked dangerous after the break and Hooper burst through on goal looking for his hat-trick but Brown did enough to put him off.Izaguirre then exchanged a one-two with Hooper only to drag his effort across goal and narrowly wide of target.Hibs pulled a goal back after 66 minutes when referee Euan Norris ruled Charlie Mulgrew had fouled Wotherspoon in the box.Miller then held his nerve to convert from 12 yards.Celtic could have ended any small hope Hibs had of a comeback when Stokes stood over a free-kick on the edge of the box but Brown saved well to tip the swerving effort past the post.Commons and Freddie Ljungberg were thrown into the action late on.Ljungberg had an impact when he was felled by Paul Hanlon in the area with 84 minutes gone but Hooper blew the chance of a hat-trick when he fired wide from the spot.

Good méthode takes time and backbone
PUBLISHED: 28 Aug 2013 00:45:44 | UPDATED: 30 Aug 2013 00:05:29PUBLISHED: 30 Aug 2013 PRINT EDITION: 30 Aug 2013Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley is the only Australian winery founded by Moët and Chandon. Photo: Craig Abraham
Tim White
This column has been a long time in the making: four years, five vintages and numerous visits to Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley at the end of the sparkling wine vintage to assess the new wines.
The creation of high-quality sparkling wines is a drawn-out process. Since early 2009 I've tasted Chandon's tank samples, barrel samples, finished base wines and blended base wines, and even had a look at some of the winery's ongoing closure trials.
Most recently this concluded (or began, depending on your point of view) with the 2013 Chandon sparkling base wines, which have just been blended ahead of being tiraged (the process where a mix of yeast and sugar is added to the already once-fermented wine before being bottled for bubble-inducing, in-bottle fermentation).
If there's one wine style where nature is forced to do what it's told, it's in the production of high-quality méthode traditionelle sparkling wines as defined by the benchmark, champagne.
But before we talk about 2013 let's go back to the difficult 2011 vintage.
Chandon's maker of sparkling wines, Glenn Thompson – who's been playing visa tag with the Chinese consulate ahead of a visit to Chandon's new venture in Ningxia – pours me the latest Chandon Brut non-vintage.
This wine is founded on the 2011 harvest and supported by a decent influence from so-called reserve wines. These are important at Chandon, and they represent a significant investment in wine.
Thompson is coy about the exact volumes held: "Let's just say the smallest reserve wine is only four barrels, while the largest in tank runs to tens of thousands of litres."
The new Chandon Brut smells to be strongly influenced by chardonnay: there's an almost choucroute complexity to chardonnay as it reveals itself in fine yeast-aged sparkling wine (champagne included). There's a distinct quince-like note to it too, and it transpired that this cuvée (blend) was slightly chardonnay-dominant with the remainder being pinot.
Thompson sees the strong chardonnay influence also, but suggests that it's the intensity of chardonnay that year, rather than the percentage, which so positively contributes to the blend.
Looking back in my database I have notes for 35 Chandon base-wine components from 2011 which I tasted in April of that year. The final blend actually consisted of 45 components.
"The blend has been as high as 54 separate components [in 2010] and each year we run in excess of 50 base wine ferments," Thompson says.
We assess the 2013 base wines, which are surprisingly easy to taste for such young acidic wines (after five vintages maybe I'm just toughening up).
The final wine is the base for the wine that Thompson trusts will become the 2013 Chandon cuvée prestige.
I ask him what he looks for in base wine for the prestige cuvée. "It needs to have flavour, but not primary, dominating flavour. And it has to be something with a spine that will bring weight through yeast age," he says.
It's pinot noir-dominant in 2013 and has chew and power. To my palate, it looks like it's got what it takes.
But if you want to taste it, it will be some time in the making. It should ready to read about again in eight years.
De Bortoli La Bohème Act Three Pinot Gris & Friends 2013 [Yarra Valley, Vic]
Clear, pure, juicy pear smelling, with a sniff of blue vein bavarois. Has pear skin and tight citrus peel on the tongue, with a whiff of salad bite at the back. Lush fruited but sapid. 92/100, $22
Domaine Chandon Chardonnay 2012 [Yarra Valley, Vic]
Lots of pure, peach fuzz and stone-smelling stuff: super deep and has a real tang to it. Masses of mouth-sucking fruit in the mouth and lasts long. Pure, fine chardonnay. 93/100, $27
Coombe Farm Pinot Noir 2012 [Yarra Valley, Vic]
Has just the right mix of sappiness and fragrant, pippy fruit on the nose and is similarly edgy and juicy tasting. There's dried citrus peel pith too among the strawberry pips. Slinky stuff. 94/100, $32

After 51 years in the biz, he still has an office on Music Row in Nashville, still tours, and still speaks humbly, almost naively, about an art/business he helped mold. Still the country boy kickin' dirt down in the East Tennessee holler. As he talks, you keep expecting him to blurt an "aw shucks."
Why would someone of Chet Atkins's stature tour at this point? "I wonder about that myself," he responds. "This old three-story house we converted into an office costs about $70,000 or $80,000 a year to run, so I have to keep money coming in. I love the applause. I love the challenge of going out and taking the chance of embarrassing myself in front of a few hundred people. I like to try to keep 'em smiling and laughing and enjoying. I sing a few songs I've written, play a few solos, with a small group." It's all just another sunny-hot afternoon at Green's Tourist Camp out on Highway 11, five miles from the holler halfway between Luttrell and Corryton, Tennessee, circa 1933. Sure it is. And Chester Atkins is still the overalled, barefoot boy itchin' to play him some of that hillbilly music.
Almost three decades ago, when rock and roll was but a twinkle in the giant corporations' eyes, just about the time the Beatles were jetting across the pond, Herbie Cooper was banging his drums for a big-swing band at a South Florida nightclub. I wasn't there, but he must've been cooking hot, like I've seen him cook on other occasions, spinning his sticks and sparking the heads with intricate speed rolls and double-up, jump-back polyrhythms, clicking fire off the rims, cymbalizing the beat with pure heat. A young punk in the crowd that night walked up to the stage after the set and addressed Herbie Cooper: "Mister, you're a really good drummer. You're almost as good as Ringo Starr!"
What that young fan didn't know -- besides the fact that Cooper was a thousand times the drummer Ringo would ever be -- was that Herbie had as much to do with inventing, or re-inventing, rock and roll as anyone. He never played a lick of it that I know of. But for a chance meeting and a little favor, rock and roll would not have evolved as it did. Atkins played hillbilly, Herbie played big band, and Dire Straits never would have sold a single record if the two hadn't met.
Chet Atkins is now and maybe always was a man out of time. If digital audio recording and VCRs and fax machines had been invented 50 years ago, Atkins probably still wouldn't have been changed by that "progress." He was dirt poor in youth, isolated by the hills of rural Tennessee from the spinning world of the city. That helps explain the trueness of his music -- hillbilly, by definition, is bare-bones stuff; musicians wore cowboy hats to keep the sun out of their eyes, not as an image gimmick. Atkins broke out of the holler long ago, but, remarkably, his music remained forever rooted in the Tennessee soil. Even when artists ranging from the Beatles to the Everly Brothers to jazzmen such as Earl Klugh and George Benson entwined with Atkins, his sound never really changed. Neither did he. "Yeah, I remember as a kid building those crystal sets," Atkins says. "I used a cat whisker and now you can buy a diode. We didn't have those. I would go to sleep at night with headphones on and I'd pull the radio off the table. Then I'd have to find a crystal so I could rebuild it. It's been a long time."
No Nintendo, no MTV, no nothin' -- as a child Atkins worked his little fingers to the bone on the family farm and filled his dreams and visions with the sound of music. Later, after he obtained a guitar, he would sit in a chair and play it until he fell asleep, guitar across his lap. Everybody played something, or at least sang, and Chester's older brother Jim was the first to get out, doing so by taking his long-honed musical abilities to places where money was paid for such prowess. Professionalism may not have been his motive, but it surely was his escape.
Radio was everything then -- not airplay for a hit single, but live programming. In 1925, a year after Atkins was born, WSM -- a 50,000 watt, clear-channel outlet whose signal reached across the nation -- debuted The Tennessee Barn Dance with George D. Hay. The music was pure country, hillbilly as it's properly known, and that was a breakthrough. Until then, America demanded that its musical performers have vocal training, a degree of virtuosity. Hay, known as the solemn judge, didn't buy that for a commercial minute. "The natural qualities of a voice are a lot more important to a song," Hay once told Atkins, "than a bunch of voice lessons." Without that sort of vision, people like Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty couldn't have gotten janitor jobs in the music business. The essence of rock and roll -- that musical precision is a lower priority than passion -- is as old as the hills.

I bought this because I purchased a queen size last summer and I thought it was too hard but after a week I noticed my back, side and any pains I had from sleeping where GONE! When I moved back home my pains came back. I thought I was getting sick. We had an expensive cushion top Cal King mattress on our bed. I decided to order a Cal King foam mattress from overstock all though not as hard as the queen again all my back, side and neck pain GONE. Why buy a $2,000 mattress when you can get this for a 1/4 the cost and have a great night sleep! Comes in a box rolled up. Opened the box in bed room and pulled mattress onto box springs wal-la the mattress comes to life in a matter of a few hours and is fully expanded in a day or so.No smell, no fuss and no pain! I would of liked it harder like the queen was, but perfectly happy!
Shopped at retail outlets for new mattress. Liked Foam Mattress, however did not like the price. Decided to look on O.co to compare prices. Decided to try this one for one third of the price of retail. My husband and I love it. My husband was starting to have lower back pain in the morning from our old spring mattress and now he says he wakes up refreshed without pain.
Really enjoying this mattress. My husband would have preferred it being softer. The only complaint is the cover over the foam has moved so the seam is a bit off.
Could not believe small box opened up into a complete Cal King mattress! easy and comfortable.

Want To Know What Makes a Happy Relationship?
By Kim Olver
The key to creating and maintaining a happy relationship can be summed up in one word: Balance. There needs to be balance in all things and one couple's picture of balance will look different from another's based on the strength of each individual's needs. Each couple's fulcrum will be placed at a different point on the balance beam. Knowing the Difference: Healthy Or Dysfunctional [EXPERT]
The first step to achieving balance is for each of the people in the relationship to recognize their personal needs—to know thyself, so to speak. Everybody is born with five basic psychological needs—the need for connection, significance, survival, freedom and enjoyment. At different points in our life, and sometimes even in our day, different needs will become more important to us, however, we have a general overarching need-strength profile which stays relatively constant throughout our lives. How Compatible Are You And Your Partner [EXPERT]
When two people with a high connection need get together, their balance will look different from a couple that both have high freedom needs, or a couple with one high connection and one high freedom person. This will dictate the balance of time—how much time is spent together as a couple and how much time is spent apart, either alone or with friends and family. This balance encompasses both the connection and the opposite freedom need. Why You Aren't Happily Ever After Anymore [EXPERT]
The survival need is one that also requires balance. A person high in survival doesn't like risk, is more of a saver than a spender, places a high value on health and safety, and spends a lot of time planning for the future. On the contrary, a person with a low survival need is a big risk taker, a spender rather than a saver, isn't overly concerned about health and safety, and lives for the moment. Having a happy relationship when one partner is high and the other low in the survival need requires some negotiation to find the balance in health, safety and finances. Will Money Ruin Your Relationship? [EXPERT]
Another area to balance is the area for significance. When two people in a relationship have a high need for significance, sometimes it can mean they find themselves in competition with each other. This, in and of itself, isn't necessary a bad thing, depending on how they choose to compete with each other. You might be able to see how two people high in significance would have to balance how they meet their need so they are not stepping on each other to get to the "prize." People high in significance tend to like power, control, being in the spotlight, making a difference and leaving a legacy.

Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, February 09, 2013.
Heavy snow will persist over the Northeast on Saturday after two low pressure systems merge and create a strong Nor¼'easter. The system will continue producing heavy snow and strong winds from New York through Maine. Hurricane force wind advisories have been issued for the coastal areas while blizzard advisories have been issued for inland areas. Storm totals from this system will reach up to 24 inches in parts of Connecticut through southern Maine, while most areas from New York through northern Maine will see between 12 to 18 inches of snow. Snowfall rates up to 1 inch per hour are likely to persist through Saturday night. This system will cause extensive travel delays as many airports across the region have already canceled or delayed their flights for the weekend. Poor visibility ans white out conditions are anticipated due to blowing snow, thus expect dangerous roads and travel conditions. Power outages are also likely as heavy snow and strong winds may cause trees to fall on power lines.
Meanwhile out West, a low pressure system moves from the Rockies and into the Plains on Saturday. Flow around this system will bring scattered snow showers to the Northern and Central Plains, moving into the Northern and Central Plains Saturday night. Heavy snowfall is expected to accompany this system with snowfall totals from 6 to 10 inches from Colorado and Montana through South Dakota.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Friday have ranged from a morning low of -21 degrees at Clayton Lake, Maine to a high of 84 degrees at Ft Lauderdale, Fla.

The market for dairy hay is growing in the Texas Panhandle as the region's dairy cow population continues to increase at a rapid pace. Available land and a cow-friendly climate have attracted dairies from inside and outside of Texas. Three of the top five milk-producing counties in Texas -- Parmer, Deaf Smith and Castro counties -- are in the panhandle. Benji Henderson, Parmer County agriculture and natural resources extension agent, says, "There wasn't a dairy to be found in the area about 20 years ago, and now we have a number of them."
The panhandle has around 140,000 dairy cows now, and more are on the way. "We expect to see continued growth in the area for at least the next five years," says Ellen Jordan, dairy specialist with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. "How fast that growth occurs depends on milk prices and factors such as the cost of concrete and steel. But we could see another 100,000 dairy cows come to the area over the next five to 10 years." Jordan says the average dairy in the area has around 2,000 cows.
Dairy-quality alfalfa hay is hard to find throughout Texas this year. Jordan says a lot of moisture early in the year made it difficult to put up quality hay in some areas. "We have an abundance of Coastal bermudagrass, but some of it got too mature," she explains. "A lot of our dairy producers have some silage they can use this winter. It has been harder to find wheat straw for rations."
Limited irrigation water will have an impact on the region's crop production capabilities, according to Vivien Allen, Texas Tech University forage agronomist. Read her comments in the article, "Trouble In Texas," in the January issue of Hay & Forage Grower.

Atkin Olshin Schade Architects • The Philadelphia Museum of Art sits in Fairmount Park, one of the city's most highly trafficked green spaces, but it has long been plagued by an all-too-urban problem: parking. Originally conceived as part of Jacques Gréber's 1917 plan for the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the site had been encroached upon by unsightly surface parking and was partially overgrown. The team devised a plan to create a 442-spot underground parking lot, topped by a green roof. "The parking is really heroic," juror Bill Valentine said. "To do that, to get it underground so that [Philadelphia-based fellow juror] John Cary doesn't even notice it when he jogs by there, [is a feat]." The jurors were more taken with the parking below grade, but above ground, the green roof performs some heroics of its own: It has enough underlying structure to withstand the weight of monumental sculpture, giving the museum an outdoor exhibition space it had long been lacking.

Developer of HPV Vaccines Blasts the Vaccines for Dangers, False Claims
Posted By admin On September 1, 2013 @ 5:02 am In Sci Tech | Comments Disabled
Elizabeth Renter
Natural Society [1]
September 1, 2013
The first-hand knowledge of one scientist, responsible for helping to develop two vaccines for human papillomavirus (HPV), including Gardasil, interestingly led her to vocally question the vaccines' safety and effectiveness before backtracking and denying she ever questioned them.
She says that the vaccines are just as dangerous, if not more so, than the disease they are meant to prevent, all while thousands of children as young as 9 are being given the vaccine, sometimes without parental consent. Dr. Diane Harper was a key developer of the Gardasil HPV vaccine.
Beginning in 2009 she voiced several concerns about the vaccine and its counterpart Cervarix, saying they caused more harm than good [2]. In an article published by CBS News, Dr. Harper says, "The rate of serious adverse events (from Gardasil) is on par with the death rate of cervical cancer. Gardasil has been associated with at least as many serious adverse events as there are deaths from cervical cancer developing each year." She also said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) knowingly downplays the dangers of HPV vaccines by under-reporting adverse events including deaths. She even went so far as to say the vaccine does nothing, that it doesn't even reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. Read: Deceptive Gardasil Ad Omits Death Link, Other Facts [3] Not only did Dr. Harper call into question the effects of Gardasil, but she questioned the need for it at all, saying at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination in 2009 that the majority of HPV infections "resolve themselves" in as little as a year, with a very small percentage of those infected displaying symptoms.
Unfortunately, you won't hear any more of these soundbites and quotes from Dr. Harper. Within the last few years, she has said all of them were made up, that none of the quotes attributed to her were correct. In other words, she wants us to believe the vaccines are not only safe, but also effective, and that there must be a mass effort specifically targeting her for misinformation.
What's been said cannot be unsaid and Dr. Harper's former opinions were printed and/or heard in so many venues, it's laughable to consider them all as misquotes. One has to wonder what happened to cause Dr. Harper to so suddenly change her tune. HPV vaccines are being sold to the American public as a matter of life and death. They are marketed at parents as a potential lifesaving remedy that must be administered at a very young age. In some places, like California and Michigan, children are being given the vaccine without their parents' knowledge or consent. These vaccines are far from safe and far from necessary, just ask a 2009 Dr. Harper.

How do I use a GLM-100 or GLM-100E mic with a transmitter? |
I have just purchased a Crown GLM-100 condenser mic for a fiddle I play nightly in clubs. I know this is a good mic but I didn't receive any information on how to use it with a wireless transmitter. Please advise! Reply: Did you get a GLM-100, which has an XLR connector, or a GLM-100E, which has no connector? The GLM-100 requires phantom power and is normally used with a mic cable. The GLM-100E connects directly to a wireless transmitter of your choice, such as Nady, Samson, Shure, AKG, etc. Crown does not make wireless transmitters. If you got a GLM-100, plug it into a phantom power supply of your choice. Connect the output of the phantom power supply to a wireless transmitter of your choice. You will need to build an adapter cable: female XLR on one end, and a connector that mates with your transmitter's mic input on the other end. Use a single-conductor shielded mic cable about 8 inches long. Here is the wiring for the adapter cable: If you got a GLM-100E, you'll need to solder its cable to a connector that mates with your transmitter's mic input. Below is a link to a document that tells how to wire the GLM-100E to various transmitters. You need to purchase a cable connector that mates with your transmitter mic input, then wire the GLM-100E cable to that connector as described in the document. |

Why is gun safety important?
We have all heard stories about children who accidentally are killed by guns at home or at friends' homes. These tragedies can be prevented if a few simple gun safety rules are followed.
Most parents know to cover electric outlets and to keep cleaning agents and other poisons away from children. However, more children who are 10 or younger are killed by guns than by poison or electrocution. Gunshot wounds are second only to car accidents as a cause of fatal injury in children. This means that gun safety in your home is as important as using car seats and seat belts in your car.
What can I do to protect my family from gun injury?
If there is a gun in your home, keep it out of reach of your children and their friends. Also, keep the gun safe from family members who are depressed, abusive to others, abusing drugs (including alcohol) or who have Alzheimer's disease.
Children are naturally curious and like to explore. If there is a gun in your home, keep it unloaded and locked away, separate from the bullets, with the key available only to responsible adults. Teach your children what to do if they find a gun, even if they are not sure whether it is real or a toy. Teach them to remember these words: Stop! Don't touch! Go away! Tell an adult!
Before your child visits the home of a friend or a baby sitter, ask the parents at that home whether they have a gun in the house and, if so, whether the gun is unloaded and locked away.
Teenagers often act without thinking first. When teenagers are angry or depressed, they are more likely to kill or harm themselves if they can easily get a gun. It's best not to have a gun in your home at all if someone who lives there is depressed, troubled or thinking of suicide.
Are there other ways I can keep violence out of my family's life?
Children learn how to behave by watching and doing what the adults around them do. It's best for parents to talk peacefully in the home, to solve problems with discussion instead of anger or physical violence and to treat all people with respect.
Parents who want to raise peaceful children may also choose not to allow their children to watch violent TV shows, play video games that involve one player hurting another or play with toys that are pretend weapons.
Children who watch violent TV shows and play violent video games are likely to model violent behavior. Children who watch a lot of violent TV shows or movies may even have trouble understanding that violence in real life actually hurts people.

DOVER — A blizzard watch has been issued for what meteorologists say could be the biggest snowstorm to hit New England in many, many years — possibly since the Blizzard of 1978.
Northern parts of the two states, however, will likely see 6 inches of snow or less.
Areas including Concord, Portsmouth and Portland are predicted by AccuWeather to be some of the hardest hit areas. |
