Why there is almost certainly no god
By ERIC MACDONALD - CHOICE IN DYING
Added: Sat, 21 May 2011 09:35:40 UTC
This is the second instalment of (former Reverend) Eric MacDonald's replies to reviews of The God Delusion, following the one we posted yesterday. He promises more, and I, for one, look forward to it.
And now we come to James Hannam's review of The God Delusion. This is timely, since Ophelia has something up about James Hannam over at Butterflies and Wheels this morning. Some critics call Dawkins smug, but for smugness squared you have to pay a visit to James Hannam who, as Charles Freeman says, seems to have found a home with the Tea Partiers in the United States. I also think, if his review of The God Delusion gives anyone a little insight into how James Hannam reads, he does it very poorly indeed, as we will see. Hannam says, for example, that Dawkins
claims that he cannot believe that Stephen J. Gould, Michael Ruse and C.S. Lewis believe what they say. This is a reflection of Dawkins' own failure of imagination.
I can't find where Dawkins has said this. He does speak of Ruse and Gould and Lewis, but does not, to my knowledge, express befuddlement at their beliefs, though he disagrees with them. He considers Gould's NOMA (non-overlapping magisteria) proposal for separating religion and science (54-61), and expresses his disagreement; he makes short work of Lewis's "Mad, Bad or God" trilemma (92); and finally, he acknowledges Michael Ruse's part in the fight against creationism (67); but I do not find anywhere where he simply throws up his hands in defeat. Perhaps Hannam has something else in mind, but I do not recall it. (And, as for good scholarship and references, for which he takes Dawkins to task, Hannam has not one page reference throughout his review!)

I cut up my wrists like cheap coupons,
Did you know that blood is on sale today?
There's a suicide note in every dollar bill,
But only fools think that money can take the pain away.
Masochism is my new religion,
I preach the words into my skin with razor blades and blood stains
I'm getting married in this chapel.
But not to anyone you know. I am betrothed to the pain.
I'm gambling with cuts and cards up my sleeves
I've drawn my hand and I throw down my chips as the pain fades.
This casino is quickly running out of blood.
The last card I draw has no power to save me, a lousy two of spades.
Now my pockets are empty and the red stains have dried.
The life force inside is spent.
I cut up my wrists like cheap coupons, the razor slips
And the blood falls. The green paper is jagged and rough, the corners crooked and bent.

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra insists the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) remains influential in the restive region, but his comments have failed to convince the army chief.

Simple Trick for Filling Holes in Hardwood
Cherry is one of the most popular hardwoods for furniture projects—because it's beautiful, and easy to work with sharp tools. But often times, a woodworker finds the perfect board for a furniture component, only to find that it has a particularly large pitch pocket that might be bothersome to most craftsmen/women. These small occlusions form in areas where pitch had deposited within the wood over time. They usually show up as black holes that need to be filled. You can tackle this job using tinted epoxy quite easily. Here's how it works.
First things first: you'll need a two-part epoxy, some powdered dye, and a well sharpened card scraper. Begin by mixing a small batch of epoxy, and then add a pinch of black dye (mix it well). Now it's just a matter of filling the hole. Small holes can be filled in one pass, but for deeper holes, be sure to use a couple of thin applications of epoxy to ensure proper curing. Your goal is to fill the hole and have the epoxy sit just a slightly proud of the surface of the wood.
Once the epoxy has fully cured, usually about 8 hours, you can come back and use a card scraper to bring it flush with the wood. After that, just carry out your normal finishing process. You'll be left with a repair that highlights the irregular shape of the pitch pocket, making for a nice visual effect.
How to Fill Voids in Wood with Epoxy
1) Begin by mixing the two-part epoxy |
2) Tint epoxy with a powdered dye |
3) Fill the hole |
4) Scrape epoxy flush with surface |
The Final Result
After scraping, you can go ahead and carry out any of the normal sanding or other prep work before finishing. With the finish applied, the black epoxy takes on a very deep, rich look. It's an easy repair to make, and one that highlights the woods natural defects.

Beaches in Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Fort Lauderdale
Concierge.com's insider take:
Fort Lauderdale's 23 miles of beaches are, of course, its prime draw. It's usually easy to stake out a spot on the wide sands, hemmed in by swaying palm trees and a low-rise, wavy white wall (the inset strip of neon lighting that has long languished in disrepair has finally been switched back on); if the main drag's busy, head south, as the beach widens in that direction. The water here has been certified Blue Wave for its cleanliness and safety, and there aren't many risky riptides. As for facilities, look for showers at the end of Las Olas Boulevard and restrooms at the junction with Sunrise Boulevard; the unofficial gay beach is around Sebastian Street.

The Miss Manners of Cell Phones
Jacqueline Whitmore opened a protocol school in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1997 to teach professionals how to dine in high-end restaurants, shake hands with business associates and dress for success.
While Whitmore's business networking and dining courses remain the school's top-billing classes, some CEOs lately are forking over thousands of dollars for Whitmore to dispense advice on how to get rid of a modern-day headache -- How to yak on cell phones in public without annoying anyone?
"The participants want clarification on when it is appropriate to use a cell phone," Whitmore said. "My response is 'Yes, you can take it to the restaurant, just don't use it. And if you want to use it, step out.'"
Sounds like common sense, but Whitmore's advice is in great demand.
The public is at wit's end with cell phone users. While there are no official statistics on how many meetings have been interrupted by cell phone callers, 39 percent of cell phone owners interviewed by research group Wirthlin Worldwide said they would answer a call in the bathroom. One out of every three residents in the United States now own cell phones, according to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association.
Legislation banning the devices while driving a car is being
There is even a website for people to vent against cell phone owners.
Clarification of when it's appropriate to use a cell phone has become such a pressing and prevalent question that Whitmore now dedicates a portion of her "Techno-Etiquette" seminar to appropriate cell phone usage.
Carriers, in turn, are responding to the cell phone backlash by dispensing etiquette guidelines and celebrating such holidays as National Courtesy Month in September. SprintPCS, which temporarily hired Whitmore as an "etiquette spokeswoman," is handing out flowers and cards with courtesy guidelines at its retail stores to mark the occasion.
"We partnered with Jacqueline (Whitmore) because we'd see articles in the media and hear of instances where people were getting upset about the insurgence (of cell phones)," said SprintPCS spokeswoman Nanci Schwartz. "We have witnessed ... while the wireless phone is a wonderful educational tool ... you still have to keep in mind where you are and who you're talking to. We sought the expertise of Jacqueline, who is a renowned etiquette expert."
Whitmore, 36, can explain how to shake hands with the ambassador of Mexico, eat at a pricey Parisian restaurant - and, yes, when to talk on your cell phone. She grew up in a single-parent household in Haines City, Florida, where dining out meant a trip to McDonald's.
After short stints in broadcast journalism and as a flight attendant, Whitmore broke into the etiquette field when she worked as a public relations representative and helped run "etiquette camps" for employees of the five-star Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach. She earned a certificate from the Protocol School of Washington in 1995. She started her own business in Palm Beach in 1997.
Shortly after she opened her own protocol school, she began receiving a steady stream of e-mail from people asking when it was appropriate to send e-mail messages in a business environment. She then made those questions and others surrounding cell phones, speaker phones, answering machines, beepers - all gadgets - part of a seminar on when it was appropriate to use such technology in the workplace.
"These technological (advances) make our lives so efficient, but cause so much chaos at the same time," Whitmore said.
Whitmore said she has been to luncheons where someone rudely interrupted to answer the phone, but she is too nice to say anything.
Whitmore lives what she preaches, her students say, and is always friendly, impeccably dressed and mindful of her manners. She won't even reprimand students for breaking such social rules as using the clam shell fork to eat sirloin steak. Instead, she makes a general observation to the class and fields questions so as not to embarrass anyone.
"She is so gracious," said one participant in Whitmore's seminar, Linda Daves, an executive assistant at a debt management company. "She would not even correct you."
Daves said Whitmore spent about three hours in a two-day, 16-hour seminar in Orlando recently discussing cell phone protocol. Daves said she didn't learn anything new from the discussion on cell phones, but received "eye-opening" information from the seminar, such as that a handshake shouldn't take more than two shakes. And using both hands to shake a person's hand - no matter how heartfelt it is - is actually impolite and can make someone feel uncomfortable.
In the cell phone part of the seminar, Whitmore suggested to students that they let their voicemail pick up calls during a meeting. If they had to take the call, she recommended they excuse themselves from the table and not discuss personal matters that others can overhear.
For those who drive and talk at the same time, Whitmore recommended hands-free devices such as earpieces, clip-on microphones and voice-activated dialing.
But there's one piece of information that Carol Page, founder of CellManners.com, would like to see included in Whitmore's lessons: How do you deal with people who are rude to cell phone owners?
Page said people who shoot annoying glances at cell phone owners, even when they're not making a call in public, are equally rude - one reason Page recently launched CellManners.com.
"No one has stopped to talk about the fact that some of the reaction to cell phone users is unrealistic and equally rude," Page said. "Let's face it, (cell phones) are here and they're proliferating."

An Irish language short about a middle-aged couple, their mysterious new neighbour, and the tree she cuts down.
About this project
Visit our official website at ancrannfilm.com

Listen to Emma talk about the film as Gaeilge on Raidió na Life: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/clar-24-2013-raidio-na-life/id686554838?i=241700702
Brendan and Aisling have lived together in the north of Ireland for twenty-five years. In their garden stands a quince tree, long forgotten... until one day, their new neighbour chops it down.
When Aisling informs their neighbour of her mistake, the woman invites Aisling to cut down one of her trees in retaliation. Brendan relishes the opportunity for payback, whilst Aisling is determined to forgive and forget. But the woman continues to wheedle her way into the couple's lives, and soon Aisling is forced to make a choice.
An Crann is an Irish-language thesis film by NYU Tisch School of the Arts student Emma Carlson, based on the poem 'An Crann' by Núala Ní Dhomhnaill.
Ní Dhomhnaill is one of Ireland's preeminent poets, and writes exclusively in Irish. Her work has been translated to English by Paul Muldoon, Seamus Heaney, and Medbh McGuckian.
The film will be shot on location in Falcarragh, Co. Donegal with a local cast. The funds raised here will be used to transport crew members from America to Ireland.
Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill is an exquisite poet, and An Crann is my favourite of her works. She writes exclusively in Irish: 'the corpse that sits up and talks back', a living dead tongue, and a language we share. Her words are not mine but I know them, could have felt them cool and hard between my lips like glass. A perfect specimen of God-struck sand. Irish is a visceral language, much of which is lost in translation to English. Its potency derives not only from syntax, but also from the knowledge that to speak Irish is an act of defiance against the march of time. This facet of Ní Dhomhnaill's poetry both fascinates and excites me – enough so that I am compelled to make a film. It would follow that this film must incorporate this theme of defiance. The source material contains multitudes, but one of its principle concepts is the clash between traditional beliefs – superstitions – and modernity. Within its first line, the poem introduces the bean an leasa: the fairy woman, translated by Paul Muldoon as a 'bright young thing'. She arrives at a couple's home and proceeds to take a Black and Decker to one of the trees in their garden without permission. In Irish folklore, there exist certain trees that are thought to be links to the 'Otherworld': a sort of magical realm that coexists with the known world. To fell one is to incur the wrath of the Fair Folk, and bring terrible misfortune upon oneself. Ní Dhomhnaill's evocation of the bean an leasa and the anger of woman's husband upon discovering the mutilation of the tree indicates both the superstition of the couple, and the either ignorance or callousness of the Fairy Woman. In the original text, the bean an leasa speaks in English, further implying her foreignness. It is crucial, then, also, to incorporate the theme of misunderstanding, of the complexity of communication. This is a very simple film. It is about a man and a woman who love each other, and who are suddenly and inexplicably confronted with change. It will be a quiet film. It will be grey and it will be green.
My favourite stanza of the poem contains the lines: 'Pé ar bith sa tsaol é, iontaithe bunoscionn'. Translated: 'whatever life is, totally irreconcilable'. This is what interests me about this poem – this story – this is what I am compelled to adapt, and to share: The knowledge that nothing is knowable and least of all life; that everything contradicts and nothing confirms and that we are living both in This World and the Other at once. One foot out the door at all times. In my final year as a student, I am approaching a tremendous unknown: impending graduation, and, afterwards, the vast expanse of life. So it feels right and true to tell a story about change and uncertainty. And about defiance. About looking square into the eyes of something new and unexpected and being unafraid.
Thank you for taking the time to look at our page.

An Crann is still in the early stages of pre-production, and has not yet been cast. Visit our website for up-to-date information on the casting process.
Risks and challenges
Casting the film will be difficult. In order to both facilitate authentic performances, and ease the complications of travel, casting sessions will be held within Ireland, where the film will be shot.
As the film is in Irish, it is also crucial to find an actor who is able to speak the language. This is for more likely in Ireland than in America, and we want to have the broadest talent pool possible to ensure we find the right actors to join our team.
However: the crew is comprised of students attending New York University. This necessitates an overseas casting process. Though it is always ideal to meet with an actor in person before casting them, the crew of An Crann is confident in their ability to both discover and rehearse with talent long before the film goes into production.
This is our only major challenge apart from funding the project. The script is simple, with only three characters and one location, and once the crew is successfully overseas everything should run smoothly! (Or, as smoothly as is possible on a film set.)
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
Yes. Though most of the dialogue spoken in the film will be in Irish, both the final version of the film posted online and all DVD copies will contain English subtitles.
For backers receiving a DVD copy of the film whose preferred language is not English, please contact us and we will find a way to provide you with a copy of the film subtitled in the language of your choice. (Irish included -- maith thú!)

McGregor earns Smith Old Firm draw
Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor saved a late penalty from Georgios Samaras as the Old Firm draw a blank in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Ibrox.McGregor had made saves from Daniel Majstorovic, Charlie Mulgrew and Emilio Izaguirre before Celtic substitute Anthony Stokes, on for Gary Hooper, won a spot-kick inside the final 10 minutes.The Scotland number one dived to his left to save the Greece international's effort to keep second-placed Celtic a point behind with a game in hand.The game took place against a background of heightened security after a parcel bomb was recently sent to Celtic boss Neil Lennon. However, despite calls for calm, there was still a deafening din inside Ibrox at kick-off time.There was great drama in the 81st minute when Celtic were awarded a contentious penalty when Celtic substitute Stokes clashed with Steven Davis inside the Rangers penalty area.Samaras, who had scored a penalty in the 2-0 win at Ibrox at the start of the year, saw his spot kick brilliantly saved by McGregor who dived to his left to push the ball round the post.

Peace isn't just the absence of war
(Read article summary)From war to crime to political disputes, conflicts dominate the news. When the dust settles, people hunger for peace. But without 10,000 small acts that build peace, conflict too easily returns.
Dar Yasin/AP
When you learn about peacebuilding, you are likely to experience an aha moment.
All over the world, conflicts are raging between nations, tribes, families, individuals. The war stories you read in Monitor and and other media outlets follow a familiar arc: Discontent leads to tension. Young men take up arms. Horrid acts are committed.Then worse ones. The poet William Butler Yeats called this the "blood dimmed tide" that returns when moderation breaks down.
Eventually exhausted, combatants slump into an uneasy truce. Families mourn and try to rebuild – an apparent end state that is sometimes mistaken for peace. Most of the time, it isn't.
No area of the world is exempt from the cycle of violence. In the 1980s, Latin America was caught in an acute period of it. In the 1990s, it was the Balkans. Fifty years before that, most of the planet was engulfed.
The cycle is most pronounced where populations have surged, resources are scarce, and young men face bleak prospects. Africa and the Middle East are such places today.

Very nice, congrats I've been looking into a .357 and finally bought a barel for my Glock 23 should be here this week let us know how it shoots... I love my two sigs
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless
Well Done! IMO .357sig is an awesome round. I am carrying it every day. Keep us posted!
Stop whining and go do something that makes a difference!
If you think that I may be talking to you, then I am.
Very nice. Did Springfield stop importing the .357 Sig guns? I was told they are no longer available. Either way it is a great caliber and I wish I could shoot it. But it doesn't fit into my budget.
Awesome! Let us know how it shoots! More pic are definitely needed
"Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" ~ Mark Twain
Nice gun but I am not a fan of the slide holster and only use it at the range.

Those who are willing to trade freedom for security will have neither.
You alone are responsible for your defense.
Congratulations on the purchase. While I've never shot a .357 SIG, the XD pistols have always fit my hands very well. Hope you enjoy it.

Why Smith & Wesson (SWHC) Stock Is Down In After-Hours Trading
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Smith & Wesson Holding Corp.
(SWHC - Get Report) are down -11.71% to $15.01 in after-hours trading after it reported that net income fell -4.6% to $170.4 million, or 44 cents per diluted share, versus the $178.7 million, or 38 cents per diluted share, a year ago in the the fourth quarter ended April 30.
Looking forward, the firearms maker expects to earn between 23 cents and 25 cents a share in its fiscal 2015 first quarter, and between $1.30 and $1.40 a share for the full year.
Analysts had been looking, on average, for $1.50 a share for full-year earnings.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORP (SWHC) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- SWHC's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 5.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 7.1%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.74, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.21, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Leisure Equipment & Products industry and the overall market, SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORP's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- 43.57% is the gross profit margin for SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORP which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 14.24% is above that of the industry average.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 34.61% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 86.24% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, SWHC should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.

My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
So, last week, I went on a vacation with my family and had my s3 submerged in pool water for one hour... how did this happen? My two year old was so excited to go in the pool that I totally forgot it was in my bathing suit; jumped in with him and an hour later came out with a weight in my right pocket... only to find it was my precious s3. Before I get comments such as "WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH THE PHONE IN YOUR BATHING SUIT POCKET???", I have done it for years and now is the only time it happened. So, when I came out of the pool, the phone was now off, and I decided to dry it out... put it in bag of rice... (patience) and turned it on about two days later. To my surprise, it did turn on but now I have no sound and camera does not work. Internet and data network is working well though.
My question... anyone think I should take the chance and try to fix it? Buy a replacement camera and speaker (for both music and earpiece). Or is it a lost cause???
Just an FYI... i did open it and cleaned out the chlorine as best as possible with a damp q-tip... and unfortunately, did not get insurance .
Thanks in advance! -
Time for a new device. I do not see it being saved

Well, I had a DROID Eris that I swam with for 10 minutes. I did the rice, tried turning it on (I know, stupid), but it didn't work. So, one of my dad's friends took it and put it in an industrial vacum at his work, and it worked completely fine after! Maybe try that? I forget what machine he used.
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
One hour in chlorinated water.... Dead phone. Get an insurance replacement.
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
Prepare a proper burial service.
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
Thats really amazing that it powered up at all. I suppose if I were in your shoes Id try to figure out how much the parts cost. However, Id be really worried that even if I could find the parts...soldering or whatever at that scale would be impossible for me.
Look for one of those component tear downs on ifixit or whatever and see if you can make out how its pieced together. Maybe from that you could determine weather it would even be possible.
All that being said I wonder if the broken functionality has to do with the actual speaker and camera or some sort of controller chip on the main board?? Lots of variables here unfortunately. Good luck. - 08-12-2012, 02:20 PM #8
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
This^^^ (except, you already said you don't have insurance)..
Chlorine is extremely corrosive, even if things work now, you can pretty much count on more damage to the electronic circuits later.
A replacement is definitely in your future. Don't waste any money trying to save this one.a little obsessive... - 08-13-2012, 12:23 PM Thread Author #9

Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
Thanks all. I really couldn't believe it even turned on after being in the water so long. If I had the insurance, the replacement would have already been ordered. I was loving the phone and now I am back to the Galaxy Nexus... not a bad backup but I can notice the differences easily... Maybe I will have the glorious S3 in the future again... I can only hope!
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
Similar story. Took my older Galaxy wakeboarding ..literally. Emabarrasingly, most of the time was in the water rather than on the wakeboard. As I was climbing back into the boat about 30 minutes later I realized I forgot to take my phone out of my pocket. I was at a remote lake with no access to the suggested items - rice, gel pack, etc. So the only thing I could do was take out the battery and hope.
It still was inoperable after driving home the next day. This occured 4 days before the GS3 release. During that 4 day period I left the water-damaged Galaxy in my car and, as we know, it's been incredibly hot (95+ degrees here). As I was driving to Verizon on the GS3 release day I put the battery back in the old phone and turned it on. Imagine my suprise when it turned on!!! Absolutely everything works.
Don't get me wrong. Still bought the GS3. - 08-13-2012, 01:11 PM #12
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
I would have a tough time having alot of dependence of a phone that has been submerged in a pool,lake or ocean.Even after trying to dry it back out though all the tips and tricks ,it just seems like its just a matter of time before something fries out from some sort of corrosion.
While I have never had taken my smartphone for a dip in the pool .A few years back a friend did drop my dumbphone I had at the time in the toliet while using it.It was fried instantly. -
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
Even if you get it repaired, the inside circuit boards need to be cleaned with a special PCB cleaner to remove all of the chemicals from the leads (Chlorine, Alkaline, Water hardness, etc) these will all eat away at all the metals in your phone. There are a lot of areas you will not be able to get to to properly clean either so it may be futile to do. I wouldn't trust that phone, it's a little fire ball waiting to happen, a lead could break and cause a battery short causing "Hot pants syndrome" that will make you jump into the nearest body of water with the phone.
The best thing to do is take out insurance for the phone, wait a week or so (if you are able to make calls with your phone and can wait a week) and put a claim in for a lost phone. At least you'll only wind up paying the coverage which i think it's anywhere between $50 - $150 depending on the phone, better than paying $699. - 08-13-2012, 04:36 PM #14
My wife dropped her 2nd Gen iPhone into a storm drain for about 3 hours. After realizing where it might be and finally getting it out I brought it home and rinsed it in distilled water for a while. Of course I couldn't remove the battery. After rinsing it I put it in rice and popped it in the oven with the oven light on. After 2 days it was working fine. She did start having glitchy behavior about 6 or 9 months later which I'm sure had to do with corrosion. Good luck and I hope you aren't contemplating insurance fraud as others have suggested.
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
Sorry to say but I see no hope for your phone. it might work now but I'm pretty sure as time goes by, it's likely it'll get worse and worse. It's not just water, but chlorinated water.... man... good luck to you..

Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
Thanks all... I turn on my S3 sometimes just to feel how smooth it is (browse the web and twitter)... unfortunately, my Nexus doesn't come close (maybe with Jelly Bean that will change)...
It is hard for me to say this but I will... One thing Apple has going for them: When my wife had water damage on her Iphone, we took it to the Apple store and they took the phone even though it wasn't covered by the warranty and provided us a new one for $199... don't think I will get the same courtesy if I call Samsung and do the same - 08-15-2012, 11:00 AM #17
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
ccmiked, I believe Samsung provides a 1 year warranty on their products. At least they did when I had my Epic 4g and had a problem with my vibration not working. Wouldn't hurt to call them and see what they can do at this point. Good luck!

Hey, i just came back from Las Vegas and it was a BRUTAL 113 degrees over there this past Thursday!! Night time was between 95 to 100 degrees!! Insane!!

Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
If you want to go this route, you would need to submerge the device in distilled water first to rinse out all the chlorine and other salt/minerals that was present and deposited on your circuits. It's been a while since your device went in the pool, so the chlorine has been dried onto the circuit tracings already. The distilled water would act as a good solvent to resuspend the chlorine and get it out. Remove battery. Dunk, and rinse, replace with fresh distilled water, then dunk and rinse, repeat, etc.
The alcohol then is used to aid in the removal of water from the device.a little obsessive... - 08-16-2012, 09:08 AM #24
Re: My S3 is on life support, after being submerged in pool
Alcohol is a cleaning agent and can do some funky things to adhesives and can turn them gummy or dissolve them. If the entire phone is left in it to long it may cause an issue with the double back tape that secures the digitizer screen (the part you touch on the screen) and the LCD screen (the screen that has the images on it). If you were going to try this, I would suggest taking apart the phone and just dunking the electronics only leaving the plastic housing and the screen out of it. Use a swap with alcohol to clean around the LCD/Digitizer but don't dunk it.
You are not going to be able to clean the insides of the phone well without taking it apart. - 08-16-2012, 11:55 AM #25


text: 1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Duke University, Box 90287, Durham, NC 27708, USA 2National Risk Management Research Laboratory, US Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC, 27711, USA Abstract. There is growing evidence that organo-nitrogen compounds may constitute a significant fraction of the aerosol nitrogen (N) budget. However, very little is known about the abundance and origin of this aerosol fraction. In this study, the concentration of organic nitrogen (ON) and major inorganic ions in PM2.5 aerosol were measured at the Duke Forest Research Facility near Chapel Hill, NC, during January and June of 2007. A novel on-line instrument was used, which is based on the Steam Jet Aerosol Collector (SJAC) coupled to an on-line total carbon/total nitrogen analyzer and two on-line ion chromatographs. The concentration of ON was determined by tracking the difference in concentrations of total nitrogen and of inorganic nitrogen (determined as the sum of N-ammonium and N-nitrate). The time resolution of the instrument was 30 min with a detection limit for major aerosol components of ~0.1 μg m−3. Nitrogen in organic compounds contributed ~33% on average to the total nitrogen concentration in PM2.5, illustrating the importance of this aerosol component. Absolute concentrations of ON, however, were relatively low (<1.0 μg m−3) with an average of 0.16 μg m−3. The absolute and relative contribution of ON to the total aerosol nitrogen budget was practically the same in January and June. In January, the concentration of ON tended to be higher during the night and early morning, while in June it tended to be higher during the late afternoon and evening. Back-trajectories and correlation with wind direction indicate that higher concentrations of ON occur in air masses originating over the continental US, while marine air masses are characterized by lower ON concentrations. The data presented in this study suggests that ON has a variety of sources, which are very difficult to quantify without information on chemical composition of this important aerosol fraction.

guests comments
"We cannot tell you enough how much we enjoyed the Bali Hai condo in Peurto Morales. The location was more beautiful than the pictures, and the condo was spacious and clean. We are time share owners with 5+ star resorts, and we found this condo to be the same quality, but without the crowds. Our kids loved the pool overlooking the white sand beaches, and also walking along the beach to town to have dinnner or shop. We loved hearing the waves crash on the beach from our balcony in the evening. We were also very pleased that the manager of the condo was reliable, accomodating, and available thoroughout our stay for whatever we needed.
We will definately be back, as not too many other places will compare with the beauty and relaxation of our holiday here."

Pope Benedict XVI Apologizes to Muslims - NOT
Hooray for the Pope. Pope Benedict used the technique of apologized for them being offended NOT for what he said that offended them. Good for him. The Pope was RIGHT in the first place. The muslims prove it every day and openly declare their goal of killing the rest of us and ultimate world domination.
Courageously exposes islamist nazism for what it is
"Pope Benedict XVI "sincerely regrets" offending Muslims with his reference to an obscure medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman,"", said a senior Vatican official.
The pope's suggestion that compulsion and violence are inherent features of Islam has outraged the Muslim world. In Afghanistan, where apostates are subject to execution, the parliament and the Foreign Ministry demanded an apology. In Yemen, where religious conversion is punishable by death, the president has threatened to sever diplomatic ties. In the West Bank, Palestinians attacked four churches with guns and firebombs.
The muslims proved the Pope's point immediately with idiotic statements such as:
"Whoever offends our Prophet Muhammad should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim."

Emily Post
Emily Post was a fierce egalitarian who believed that behavior – not income – defined class.
Emily Post died almost 50 years ago and the name that survived her conjures an image of a fussy, obsessively prim lady sipping tea with her pinky held aloft. Which is a shame, because Emily Post would've hated that raised pinky.
"She was the enemy of the little finger that extended elegantly from the teacup," wrote the New York Times upon her death in 1960.
Like Sigmund Freud or Albert Einstein, Post is remembered as a singular authority on one subject. In her case, that subject is manners.
Not much else remains of the woman whose "little blue book" is still the second-most stolen book from public libraries. (Only the Bible is swiped more often.)
But Post was far more than just a maven of manners. She was also the author of six novels, a cookbook, a cross-country travelogue, an architectural guide, and a child-rearing manual.
She wrote stacks of articles for magazines such as Collier's and Ladies' Home Journal. She hosted a radio program, wrote a syndicated newspaper column, and endorsed everything from cigarettes to soap.
She survived a scandalous divorce, designed her own house, hung out with the likes of Mark Twain, and – unbeknown even to her own family until now – after World War II, she worked anonymously to bring orphaned Jewish children to America.

Athersys Announces Authorization Of Stem Cell Clinical Trial For Stroke In The United Kingdom
CLEVELAND, April 17, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Athersys, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATHX) announced today that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved Athersys' application to expand its ongoing Phase 2 study evaluating the administration of MultiStem ® therapy to patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke. Enrollment at United Kingdom sites is expected to commence following final Ethics Committee review and the completion of final preparations at participating clinical centers.
"The MHRA authorization will enable us to bring several leading United Kingdom stroke centers into the study, which will help us to speed the completion of the stroke clinical trial," said Dr. Gil Van Bokkelen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Athersys. "The authorization is also noteworthy as it marks the initiation of MultiStem clinical development activity in the United Kingdom."
The Phase 2 study is a double blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of MultiStem cells when administered to patients who have suffered a moderate to moderately severe stroke, as defined by a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 8 to 20. Patients enrolled in the study receive a single intravenous dose of MultiStem therapy or placebo in the 24 to 36 hours following the stroke, which is a significant extension of the current treatment window over existing standard of care. The study is expected to enroll approximately 136 patients in total and is currently being conducted at multiple centers throughout the United States.
About MultiStem MultiStem ® cell therapy is a patented product that has shown the ability to promote tissue repair and healing in a variety of ways, such as through the production of multiple therapeutic factors produced in response to signals of inflammation and tissue damage. MultiStem has demonstrated therapeutic potential for the treatment of inflammatory and immune disorders, neurological conditions, and cardiovascular disease, as well as other areas, and represents a unique "off-the-shelf" stem cell product that can be manufactured in a scalable manner, may be stored for years in frozen form, and is administered without tissue matching or the need for immune suppression. The product is extensively characterized for safety, consistency and potency. Athersys has forged strategic partnerships with Pfizer Inc. to develop MultiStem for inflammatory bowel disease and with RTI Biologics, Inc. to develop cell therapy for use with a bone allograft product in the orthopedic market. About Athersys Athersys is a clinical stage biotechnology company engaged in the discovery and development of therapeutic product candidates designed to extend and enhance the quality of human life. The Company is developing its MultiStem ® cell therapy product, a patented, adult-derived "off-the-shelf" stem cell product platform for disease indications in the cardiovascular, neurological, inflammatory and immune disease areas. The Company currently has several clinical stage programs involving MultiStem, including for treating inflammatory bowel disease, ischemic stroke, damage caused by myocardial infarction, and for the prevention of graft versus host disease. Athersys has also developed a diverse portfolio that includes other technologies and product development opportunities, and has forged strategic partnerships and collaborations with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as world-renowned research institutions in the United States and Europe to further develop its platform and products.

Fake interpreter at Nelson Mandela memorial reportedly faced murder charge
JOHANNESBURG — South Africa's government was confronted Friday with a new and chilling allegation about the bogus sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's memorial: He was reportedly accused of murder 10 years ago.
Officials said they were investigating the revelation by the national eNCA TV news station. But they were unable, or unwilling, to explain why a man who says he is schizophrenic with violent tendencies was allowed to get within arm's length of President Barack Obama and other world leaders.
Investigators probing Thamsanqa Jantjie "will compile a comprehensive report," said Phumla Williams, the top government spokeswoman. But she did not say how long the investigation would take and insisted details would not be released until it was completed.
"We are not going to sweep it under the carpet," Williams said. "We want to own up if there is a mistake, but we don't want to be dishonest" to Jantjie.
An Associated Press reporter found Jantjie at a makeshift bar on the outskirts of Soweto Friday, not far from his concrete house close to shacks and an illegal dump where goats pick at grass between the trash. Asked about the murder allegation, Jantjie turned and walked away without saying anything.
A day earlier, he told the AP that he had been violent "a lot" in the past, has schizophrenia and hallucinated during the Mandela memorial that angels were descending into the stadium. He also apologized for his performance, but defended his interpreting as "the best in the world."
His assertion was ridiculed by deaf advocates who said he didn't know how to sign "Mandela" or "thank you."
The outcome of the reported murder case that eNCA said dated from 2003 was unclear, and the television report did not disclose any details.
Officials at the Johannesburg court where the murder charge was reportedly lodged were not in their offices Friday afternoon and did not respond to email requests seeking comment.
There were no records of a murder case involving Jantjie at South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority, but spokesman Nathi Mncube said that doesn't necessarily mean Jantjie was never a suspect.
"I cannot confirm that the guy was charged, but I cannot deny it, either," he said. "There are no records right now."
Jantjie also faced other lesser criminal charges in the past, eNCA reported. In an interview with the AP, he blamed his past violent episodes on his schizophrenia, but declined to provide details.
The fiasco surrounding the use of Jantjie to provide sign language translation before a worldwide television audience has turned into an international embarrassment for South Africa, whose ruling party, the African National Congress, and president, Jacob Zuma, have already lost popularity because of corruption scandals and other public grievances. But the ANC is far more powerful than the opposition and Zuma, who was booed at the Mandela memorial, is likely to be its candidate in elections next year.
The U.S. assistant secretary of state for African affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said Friday that "we're all very upset" about Jantjie, who was just 3 feet from Obama at the memorial service for Mandela, who died Dec. 5 at 95.
Thomas-Greenfield told reporters in Kenya that U.S. officials are concerned about security and how Jantjie could have gotten so close to world leaders. She said officials were also dismayed because people watching around the world who needed sign language weren't able to understand what was said at the ceremony. She called the problem "extraordinarily sad."
South Africa's arts and culture minister, Paul Mashatile, apologized for the use of Jantjie on Friday, marking the second apology from the government in two days, and said reforms must be implemented to ensure such an incident doesn't happen again.

Need help?
If you have considered suicide or know someone who has, call the Gulf Bend Center's 24-hour suicide prevention hotline at 1-877-723-3422.
A Houston man in his 30s died Sunday morning from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Port Lavaca Police Department responded to a call at 7 a.m. Sunday from a resident who found a man in critical condition lying on his back on a bird walking trail at Lighthouse Beach, said Port Lavaca police detective Josh Smith.
The man was found with a handgun next to him, Smith said. He said the man was still showing signs of breathing when the police arrived.
The man was being transported to Citizens Medical Center when he died, Smith said. An autopsy will be conducted in Travis County, but it appears the gunshot wound was self-inflicted, Smith said. He said it is not yet clear why the man was in Port Lavaca.

Bournemouth held by Rovers
Bournemouth were thwarted in their search for a late winner as they played out a 0-0 draw with Blackburn.
The Cherries were looking to regain some momentum but instead stretched their winless run to five games.
The Cherries rushed out of the blocks despite a 30-minute delay to kick-off, with both goalkeeper Artur Boruc and skipper Tommy Elphick held up in traffic.
