Welcome to my studio where I create comics and picture books. Let's have a look around.
No, I'm not a Mets fan or a Knicks fan, the walls are painted blue and orange because those colors promote creativity and productivity. The curtains are made from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and He-Man bedsheets. There's a folded up blanket on top of my file cabinet for when my cats window watch or sleep. I painted that guitar. We found it under my brother's couch when he moved. And to make sure I feel super snuggly in my chair while I work, I wrapped it in a Superman Snuggie.
Here's my drawing desk where I pencil and ink all my work. A tribute collage of my departed best friend, Dave, watches over me as I create.
Below my desk is my classic Dukes of Hazzard trash can for all my eraser bits and old pencils.
Next to my drawing desk is my creative file, where I keep all my originals from my past books and hardcopies of my published work. My sketchbooks and notebooks are here as well. Above is my plant Glenn, a Tickle phushie, my workload calendar, and inspiring art by Jon Burgerman. That folded up Dukes of Hazzard bedsheet by the window is for my cats so they can be comfortable while watching leaves fall, squirrels run, and birds fly.
Here we have my computer and scanner for all the color, text, and digital work. That box by the keyboard is a stand for my iPad so I can have another screen at eye level for research or to watch something while I work. The box is wrapped in Mike Allred X-Statix comic pages. Above my screen is wonderful art and collage by my lovely wife. There is also a print of Tezuka's Phoenix which played a huge role in me becoming a cartoonist. And under the screen is a little red egg with silly putty inside. It helps me think. You should try it.
I snuck I few hidden gems under my chair mat as well.
Next to my computer is my reference library. The top shelf has all the books I learned my craft from and refer back to when neccessary. The bottom shelf has more inspiring books to get me out of creator's block.
On the wall hangs my Moonbeam Award, the Magazine cover I did, and some awesome art from my favorite artists.
My closet door is decorated with Happyloo fanart and above it is a very important street sign. If I ever have the chance, I relax on my Ninja Turtle couch, but I hardly ever get to do that. I do admire my Brad Bird signed Iron Giant poster everyday though.
On the other side of my studio is my graphic novel and dvd library, along with more art from my friends in comics. Someday I hope to read every book I own.

PITTSBURGH -- Other than a passing introduction at a Pittsburgh Penguins development camp three summers back, Ben Hanowski and Kenny Agostino don't know each other.
The two, though, are forever linked.
Drafted a year apart by Pittsburgh in 2009 and '10, about all else Hanowski and Agostino had in common through March 27 was they remained property of the Penguins. The two forwards played for college teams in different conferences 1,300 miles apart; their paths never crossed during their collegiate careers.
"From what I've heard," Agostino said of Hanowski on Wednesday, "he's a great hockey player, and I'm sure he's a great kid. But I don't really know him."

Sir Roger hypes his Majesty's postal service
Sir Roger Moore, who at 82 is not yet a Halloween costume, stars in this new ad by Mother for the British post office. Moore, who played James Bond in the 1970s and early '80s, was chosen for the job because he embodies the "sophisticated and respected" image the post office wants to project. The spot is amusing enough, though one writer at the Guardian calls it "desperately, heartwrenchingly sad" that Sir Roger is giving Sean Connery fans another reason to feel that Connery is superior.

Cave Creek, AZ USA | Member Since 2014
I never write a review without checking my facts using other sources. But I won't here because the author didn't verify a single fact for this book! All he does is parrot the implausible ravings of a sociopath. Richard Kuklinski was a legend in his own mind. He took credit for just about every unsolved high-profile including Jimmy Hoffa and mob boss Paul Castellano, along with the neighbor who ran over John Gotti's young son. Ridiculous! After allegedly committing over 200 gruesome homicides, he'd never been arrested for so much as traffic ticket. NO ONE IS THAT GOOD! Either he's a criminal genius or the New Jersey PD is the Keystone Kops. This guy could have been arrested with a cap gun and tin badge. I saw the HBO documentary years ago and actually believed that Kuklinski was a cold-blooded killer. But, after this book, I see now that he likely made up all of his crimes, even the ones he was convicted of. The author's writing is that of a first-grader, simplistic and repetitive. No one independently confirms anything in this book. Richard is the one who says he a killer, a good-looking guy, a well-hung adept lover. No one else does. Anyone who's seen or read anything on the mob knows they would never hire an unknown Polish thug from NJ for major hits. Kuklinski claims to have done hundreds of contract murders, trafficked in weed and cocaine, laundered money overseas, killed Colombian drug dealers AND a cop yet he couldn't even afford an attorney for trial. Where was John Gotti's legal team? Wouldn't he want to protect himself after ordering the hit on Castellano? The only "hit" Kuklinski did was beat his wife for decades. When arrested, all he owned was .22 pistol. No assault weapons, no money, no bodies. Both the author and "The Iceman" are delusional. Save your money! Also read the reviews on Amazon.com.)
This is the 5th book in the series I've listened to. Well researched and masterfully narrated. I look forward to future books like this from CJ Sansome. A big thumbs up!
I thought this would be a more serious account of Empress Elisabeth but it's like a way too long fairy tale. The narrator is really bad. There are so many characters and accents, male, female and children, that it becomes confusing. Really awful "chick lit".
I expected more from the author of "Shuuter Island" - although, in that case, the movie is the rare example of being much, much better than the book. But this book made no sense at all. It's about a private investigator who somehow gets himself in a war with local black gang members. This is Boston, not South Central, but I have never seen, known, read about or had any knowledge of any black gang - much less black people - who act like we are depicted in Lehane's book. It's as though he's never met a black person in his life, much less a gang member. The interaction, dialogue and speech patterns are so wrong. Is this Lehane's fantasy idea of our people?. Surprisingly, the only likeable (?) and well-developed character in the entire book is an overtly racist redneck guy named Bubba!
Although I've always been a voracious reader, Jame Patterson never did it for me. Maybe because I started with one of the books in the Alex Cross series, "Roses Are Red". It took place in Washington DC and the main character, Cross, is black. I am black - born and raised in DC - a graduate of Howard University. I have a child who is a career police officer. Maybe it was just me, over-thinking it, and having way too much intimate knowledge, combined with the constant hype about the author, which caused me to not really be blown away by my first foray into the Patterson repertoire. But I hung in there and next tried "Violets Are Blue". It was actually worse! So I was done with James Patterson years ago!
However, I picked up this book in one of Audible's clever "Discover A New Series" promotions (which have cost me HUNDREDS of dollars in the past!). Here, we are presented with a male and female detective team, part of an "elite" task force, NYPD Red. I don't know how ELITE these cops are - they just seem to be doing their jobs, with the focus on the "1%ers" (and I'm not referring to motorcycle gangs). These cops waste much needed resources on the rich and famous in an era where police officers are over-worked and underpaid just trying to keep the peace among regular citizens. But, I digress....over-thinking again! For sheer LIGHT FLUFFY entertainment, this story was pretty good, although implausible in some places - kinda like a Marvel comic book. Nothing too intelligent, just a great ride. The plot line is thin but there are twists, turns, and surpises with well-crafted dialogue. There IS a co-author here, Marshall Karp. Ghostwriter? Protégé? Whatever - he does add a different, albeit subtle, component to the overall effort.
The narration is good, considering the different races, ethnicities and accents involved. My only complaint is with the head of the team, a black female captain who always talks like she's delivering Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech. Just imagine Dr. King in line at Starbucks, ordering an expresso con panna, shouting "I'LL HAVE A CREAM!!!" Hey, Rev! We got you! 😄
This is not a story as exciting as many other police thrillers but if you want a "light meal" with that espresso, this book will satisfy you.
The author doesn't give us an objective account of the city of Chicago. He spends 24 hours telling us over and over and over again how fantastic, innovative, brave, beautiful, compelling, unique, unsurpassable, incomparable, etc. Chicago's history is, to the point where I just got sick of it. It took him 17 hours and 18 chapters just to get to 1893!
I would have liked to hear a more indepth account of the REAL Chicago, i.e., the slums, the immigrant population, the corrupt politicians, the renowned "red light" district, etc. How can you tell the story of Chicago and not have at least 3 hours about the famous high-class brothel, the Everleigh Club and its owners? What about the contributions to the fabric of the from the Polish and African-American communities? This book is all about the money-grabbing white upper-class with no regard for the common people who actually kept that city running every day. Servants, boot-blacks, coachman, ladies maids, streetcar drivers, butchers in the meat-packing district, the black porters in George Pullman's railroad cars, clerks, shop girls - THEY were the true blood of that city, yet each group was mentioned in passing while Heller literally brown-nosed every rich person he could think of.
He was alright but only because the book is so disappointing. He has the perfect Midwestern twang for a story of a city grown out of the prairie.
Heller totally disrespected the Native Americans who were cheated, raped, murdered and oppressed by whites who also dessimated the buffalo, prairie flora, and other wildlife. However, he did give a small history to the Kaskaskian tribe, ancestors of my husband and our children (they are of black Créole descent - a French Canadian trapper married a Kaskaskian woman, then they eventually settled in New Iberia, Louisiana where their son married his mulatress slave). I learned more about them here than in 10 years of my own research. Even then, Heller only mentioned the great people because of their help to the pioneers and missionaries like Marquette and Joliet. He doesn't tell us how the Kaskaskia and other indigenous Illinois people were wiped out due to not only senseless slaughter but also the diseases carried by the filthy unhygienic white men from which the Natives had no immune system. Heller made the Native Americans look like drunken ignorant savages when it was the whites who introduced liquor and guns to a race who had survived for centuries on their own.
The real problem with this book is the lack of objectivity, combined with the preening and fawning way the story is written. Chicago IS a great city, yet Heller makes it sound like the the younger child of a second marriage. For example.....Chicago's father's first children are London, Paris, Berlin, Venice, and Florence. His wife dies after those kids are grown so he remarries a younger woman who give him a new family: New York City, Boston, and Washington DC. Right before the father dies, his new wife has one last "change of life" baby that neither expected - Chicago. Poor fatherless Chicago spends his whole life trying to prove that he is as great and successful and good looking as his older siblings. But everyone wants to ignore his bad habits (gambling, whoring, fighting, cheating, corruption, murder) by insisting to everyone around that "Chicago is really a good boy in his heart. Why, this morning he actually picked up the poop dropped in the front parlor by his pack of hunting hounds." REALLY, CHICAGO!?!? Try Erik Larson's "The Devil In The White City" or "Sin In The Second City" by Karen Abbott.
I was very disappointed by this book. I thought the great Simon Prebble was narrating. However, once again, a book is ruined by the author narrating her own work.
I thought this book would be about the little known crimes in forensic history, combined with the added insight of an educator. Instead these are the same old stories that have been "done to death" (pun intended) in a century of written material and decades of shows like "Forensic Files" and "Unsolved Mysteries". It starts out with the most chewed on crime of all - Jack The Ripper. WHO CARES ANYMORE!? Even if investigators found a viable suspect, he or she died a long time ago, thereby avoiding earthly justice.
There are so many other crimes that could have benefited from a in-depth analysis by university professor. Instead she chose criminal events in which she could have done her research and due diligence with her feet up on the sofa, remote control in hand. No need to spend time in now-deserted library stacks when a "Forensic Files' marathon on Netflix or HuluPlus will "get 'er done". This method of classroom teaching is perfect to keep the attention of bored college students, only attending class to receive a barely passing grade. But any real true crime buff will not be satisfied after listening to hours and hours of crimes that we've already seen on television in 4 or 5 different depictions and reenactments. Same old stuff: Black Dahlia, The Brothers Melendez, Anastasia Romanov, the Tylenol poisonings, dirty cops, falsified evidence, police brutality, witness intimidation, coerced confessions, inaccurate eyewitness testimony, shoddy lab work, Russian double agents, etc., etc., etc. BLEH!
Professor Murray has a pleasant speaking voice but the production of the audiobook is not up to par - her frequent stumbles and stutters are not edited out. In the synopsis, we are promised a "look over the shoulder" of on site investigators. Yet we are given no more than we have all learned by watching "Court TV". Aren't we all now as proficient in pathology and forensics as Drs. Michael Baden, Henry Lee, Cyril Wecht, etc.? Nothing new here - PASS on it!
This is a fantastic story about what a black man can accomplish when someone believes in him.. I have a personal insight since I was a high school friend of one of the young men featured here: high profile criminal defense attorney, Theodore V. Wells. Growing up in the 1960s as an honor student with "Tokey" at Coolidge High School in Washington DC, I always knew he would be successful with his great leadership skills and personal charisma. Many of our school mates became top black lawyers and doctors. But I am blown away by Tokey's ultimate career accomplishments.
This story is a well-researched account of the outstanding journey of 5 young black men recruited by Rev. John Brooks during a racially charged period on U.S. history to achieve the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King. Brooks saw that a select group of black students got scholarships to a top university, kept his foot in their butts during college, and followed their subsequent careers while providing mentoring and support. For once we are not being treated to yet another "rags to riches to rags" story about a black man who was given a chance to do something great only to end up shot dead in a crack house. Tokey, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Pulitzer Prize winner Edward P. Jones and the two others in this book are proud examples of what can be accomplished with the help of people who really care about this country. Well done, Rev. Brooks! And, Tokey, I am so very proud of you!'
There IS a kernel of an interesting subject here but the writing jumps around, making the whole book confusing. Grover Gardner is a great asset but not good enough to save this account. Here, again, Audible would benefit listeners by providing us with PDF downloads of accompanying photographs if available in the print version. With a rare account of a magnificent city like Instanbul, I'm sure the author gave the reader a visual glimpse of this colorful locale, along with vintage prints of Constantinople and its transition into Instanbul.
I love Georgette Heyer, owning every Regency and Georgian book she's written. I'd never read a romance novel before until I stumbled on her "Frederica" about 5 years ago on Audible. I was hooked! But this "thriller" is juvenile, confusing, uninteresting, with boring unlikeable characters. The main one, Inspector Hemingway, is a joke. He couldn't get an indictment against a ham sandwich! Heyer surrounds Hemingway with a cadre of dull sargeants and constables who are as inept as he his. Oh, they finally solve the crime but only after the listener is subjected to 7 hours of "Keystone Kops". Hemingway doesn't even appear until 4 hours in. By that time, I was hoping that ALL of the other characters would just die along with the first victim! They are so flat and dull.
I couldn't figure out why this book was so bad after listening to/reading more than 20 books by this prolific author. The story sounded like someone else had ghostwritten it, with none of Heyer's usual well-defined characters, smart witty dialogue, and intriguing plot. So off to Wikipedia I went. There, I discovered the problem. Heyer's HUSBAND had provided the main protagonists for the thriller, leaving her to put together a story that was not her personal "baby". As a result, the books are cliché, dull, and awful. Her thrillers were never as popular as her romance novels, selling way less and getting lukewarm reception. There's only one Inspector Hemingway book - THANK GOD! I tried one of her Inspector Hannasdyde thrillers a few months back, but returned it to Audible within the first 2 hours. I thought I'd give it another try, listening to this entire mess, only to be equally disappointed. I'm returning this book as soon as this review is published.
Narrator Ulli Birvé is competent, given the substandard material. Save your money! I chose to reread my Agatha Christe collection again - Hercule Poirot never gets old!

Changing Family Dynamic May Lead To Tax Relief
By CAROLE FELDMAN
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ Members of the sandwich generation â¿¿ caught between supporting elderly parents whose assets are nearly exhausted and adult children without jobs â¿¿ might find some relief come tax time.
The bottom line is, who's a dependent? Your kindergarten-age son, your adult daughter, her grandparents, or maybe an elderly uncle or aunt?
"There's a changing family dynamic because of the economy," said Bob Meighan, vice president of TurboTax, an online tax preparation service.
More people are living longer. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of older Americans increased by 9.7 percent from 2000 to 2010, when there were about 40 million people age 65 or older. A longer lifespan puts added strain on retirement accounts, which have already taken a hit in the roller-coaster economy. As a result, many baby boomers find themselves supporting their elderly parents, in some cases footing the bill for assisted living or nursing home care. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for adults age 20 to 24 was 13.7 percent in December, considerably higher than the overall rate of 7.8 percent. Unable to find work, many young adults are returning home â¿¿ or never leaving, relying on Mom and Dad for food, lodging and more. What does this mean for taxes? "A lot of filers are going to have to pay particular attention," Meighan said. More people may rely on tax software to help get them through the dependency issue. Depending on individual circumstances, taxpayers may be able to claim both their parents and their children as dependents. "The rules are very pro-taxpayer," said Mark Steber, chief tax officer at Jackson-Hewitt Tax Services. If you are taking care of someone and the IRS defines that clearly â¿¿ age, income, residency tests and support â¿¿ you should be able to claim the exemption, he says.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

We work 'smarter,' not harder, when students do the work
Stories this photo appears in:
Superintendent of the Newton County School System
For years, I have spent time in classrooms observing teachers teach. I've done so to be familiar with the main work of our profession -- classroom instruction. More often than not, I've found teachers working very hard at direct teacher talk or lecture to students. Unfortunately, I've not always seen the kids working equally hard.

Give the kidnapped Cleveland women their privacy – and identity
Many have asked that the women who were held hostage in Cleveland be given privacy to heal. But compassion should involve more than suspending our curiosity. How we actually define people emerging from traumatic experiences can support their healing and the public's.
Mark Duncan/AP
St. Louis
From Cleveland, to Boston, to Newtown, Americans have been sadly and repeatedly forced to grapple with acts of incomprehensible violence and cruelty. One response is to ask probing questions in order to prevent more such tragedies – questions that can also uncover the resilience of the human spirit. This kind of searching helps society heal.
But boring in on such tragedies can also have a negative effect – on those directly involved. Many thoughtful people – including family members – have called on the public to grant privacy to the three Cleveland women who broke free from a decade of horrific captivity so they can rebuild their lives.
"We, the public, have to have a sense of leaving them alone, but also rooting for them," said Frank Ochberg, a clinical professor of psychiatry at Michigan State University, in a PBS Newshour interview May 9, speaking about the Cleveland case. "We don't want to over-interview them. We don't want them to define their lives as those women who were captured for that period of time."
In the digital age of Facebook, Twitter, cell phone cameras, and a competitive, sensationalist news media, calling on the public to respect a person's privacy seems oddly virtuous. One wonders whether both the media and their consumers have the self-restraint to resist the lure of voyeuristic reporting on victims that is often dressed up as empathy.
Even if, as a society, we can reject such prying, compassion should involve more than suspending our curiosity. How we actually define people emerging from traumatic experiences can both support their healing and the public's, too.

This is my first chest protector that I've ever owned. I bought it last year due to the fact that I needed something to help me out and just for peace of mind that when I crash I don't get hurt too badly and don't end up with some handlebars in my chest. It's a comfortable chest protector, very durable, and overall a great deal. Durability is the most important part of this protector, I've gone through getting thrown into trees, having my bike fall on me, and sliding/tumbling down super steep hill climbs. All these times my chest protector has saved me! I raced in very rugged terrain, crashed badly, and one of the bolts on the shoulder part ended up being lost, nothing a zip-tie couldn't fix though. I absolutely LOVE this chest protector! Fox is one of the best brands. When it comes time to upgrade, I will be getting another fox racing roost deflector!

August 22, 2011 Palestinians announce ceasefire after five-day rocket barrage |
Palestinian factions in Gaza appeared to be observing a ceasefire with Israel reportedly brokered by Egypt. The Popular Resistance Committee, blamed for last week's coordinated attacks near Eilat that left eight Israelis dead, on Monday announced a "temporary halt of rocket fire," according to reports. Hamas reportedly agreed to enforce the ceasefire on smaller Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza. Israeli officials told reporters that the ceasefire was unilaterally declared by the Palestinians. Still, Israel has not launched any retaliatory strikes on Gaza since midnight on Sunday. At least four rockets from Gaza were fired at Israel early Monday morning. One was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system and one landed near a public building in Israel's south, damaging the building. The ceasefire comes after a five-day barrage of rockets fired from Gaza on southern Israel, to which Israel responded to with retaliatory strikes on sites in Gaza. Twelve rockets were fired at Israel after the original ceasefire was to go into effect on Sunday afternoon. |

Cooking With Wood Planks
by Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Uncategorized, July 28, 2012
Cedar and other wood-plank cooking is probably one of the oldest "new" food trends around. It's a technique that was used by the Northwest Native Americans to roast fish, meats and fowl. Nowadays, adventurous chefs can choose between baking and barbeque planks in variety of woody flavors. Baking planks may be used again and again to impart subtle flavor while maintaining the natural juices in meats and vegetables alike. Barbeque planks also add truly unique flavor, combining the earthiness of the wood plank and the smokiness of the grill.
When choosing planks, pick only untreated cedar, alder, hickory or maple. Using treated wood may actually poison the food as well as the person enjoying it. Also remember that some woods are bolder than others— cedar is more aromatic and adds stronger woodsy flavor while alder is milder and sweeter, with a very subtle flavor. If you are baking with a cedar plank, be sure to keep temperatures at or below 425°. For grilling, soak the plank for one to four hours in water, wine, or apple, citrus or berry juices. You could even use tea. This adds moisture to the wood along with complimentary flavors, which prevents the plank from burning on the grill or in the oven.
Lightly toasting the plank on both sides will intensify its smoky flavor and prevent warping. Season a plank being used for the first time by placing it on a preheated grill for 2 minutes, turning once to toast both sides. When the plank starts crackling, it's ready for cooking. Oil the cooking side to avoid sticking. Though salmon is commonly cooked on a wood plank you can also use meat, other fish or vegetables. It's a good idea to keep the lid closed as much as possible to stabilize temperatures and maximize smoke. It is recommended to sear meats and some vegetables prior to placing it on the plank to caramelize the outside and lock in the flavor.
When cooking on a plank, food does not have to be turned during grilling. Keep a spray bottle of water handy to tame any flames that start to burn the plank. While baking planks may last for years and countless uses, grilling planks have a life span of about two or three uses. As a general rule of thumb, if there's wood left, you can still use the plank.
Here are some recipes to try:
Cedar Plank Salmon with Maple Ginger Glaze (pictured above)
Cedar Plank Grilled Whole Trout

Slick and polished, but not quite perfect
Google Nexus S review
Google Nexus S review
T3Full Review
Google Nexus S review
- Very quick
- Fantastic screen
- Vastly improved keyboard
- No microSD slot
- Vanilla Android UI
- Poor video/lack of HD video
The Google Nexus S (or Samsung Nexus S) is the first handset touting Android Gingerbread or 2.3. It's not really a radical update, instead a refinement of what we saw in the last Google phone, the Nexus One and the Samsung Galaxy S. What makes it different from the first Google Nexus One is that instead of having to buy it through Google, it will soon be available from Carphone Warehouse.
â¨â¨With curved edges and black front with a screen you can barely see, the Google Nexus S is a gorgeous phone. It sports what's called a 'Contour Display,' where the glass is curved slightly to fit the contours of your face, but it's barely noticeable. It's certainly not dramatically different to other smartphones.â¨â¨
Pick up the phone and the build is disappointing, it just feels very plasticky - far more so than the similarly priced HTC Desire HD and Apple iPhone 4. External body controls include dedicated volume buttons, power on, micro USB and a 3.5mm jack. There's no card slot, just 16GB internal memory, unlike the Google Nexus One. Unfortunately it seems Google are following Microsoft's lead with its Windows 7 handsets like the LG Optimus 7 and omitting microSD slots.
Google Nexus S: Android Gingerbread 2.3 interface
â¨â¨Boot up takes around 20 seconds, where you're faced with the vanilla Android screen. However, this is Android 'Gingerbread' 2.3 and Google's added some welcome tweaks. The icons themselves look crisper and cleaner, with a different coloured status bar.
On the main menu options appear almost as a 3D conveyer belt, with options that aren't on the screen visible disappearing off into the distance at the top and bottom of the list. When you hit the Lock button the screen disappears with a flash like turning off an old TV. In short it feels more polished.
Along with touch-sensitive Back, Menu, Search and Home Android controls along the bottom, which respond well, static Phone, Menu and Browser icons remain at the bottom as you scroll through five homescreens.
Useful shortcuts include hitting the Menu icon to view thumbnails of each homescreen (a bit like Helicopter view on the HTC Desire).
However, while we applaud the interface, it's still very much plain Android. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but we like the contact and social networking of a skin like HTC Sense on the HTD Desire HD.
Google Nexus S: The screenâ¨â¨
At 4-inches with a resolution of 800x480 and 235ppi the screen is exceptionally bright and sharp, it manages to feel generous, without being oversized like the HTC Desire HD. Like the Samsung Galaxy S, is uses AMOLED technology, which provides excellent contrast ratio and a reasonable viewing off-axis.
The screen is made for HD movie clips, which look fantastic. Blacks in particular are very deep - you can barely see where the screen ends and the edge of the phone begins, whites are good, if not quite as pure as the iPhone 4's.
The screen is supposed to have less 75% glare than other screens, ideally you need a bright sunny day to test this properly, but on a sunny-ish day it is certainly bright and clear enough, without reflection issues.
Equipped with a 1Ghz Hummmingbird processor and 512MB RAM the Nexus S never feels sluggish and you can swap quickly between programs. There's also a dedicated GPU chip, which meant no sluggishness while streaming high definition, and standard definition content from You Tube.
Flash support means you can play back videos, using we had no issues with video stopping and starting, although quality isn't fantastic.
When navigating video and picture rich websites like T3.com, pinch to zoom sometimes was a bit sluggish and double tapping to realign words didn't always work, however we didn't encounter these issues with the majority of websites we used.
Google Nexus S: Keyboard
One of the highlights of the Nexus S is the keyboard. There's more space between the keys and multitouch support means you can quickly swap between the numeric and alphanumeric keyboards, tap '?123' button then press the button, then press it again to return. It just makes typing more fluid.
Text suggestion is far more intelligent, recognising more words and also remembering frequently used words.
Whether you are on a web page or email, hold your finger on a word and it selects it automatically, with ends you can adjust to select more words. Tap again to copy a word, which you can then paste into another application.
Google Nexus S: Multimediaâ¨â¨
Still images taken with the 5-megapixel camera are good without being fantastic. The photo interface has been vastly improved, you can adjust the majority of features - such as exposure compensation, scene modes, white balance and front/back camera - without leaving the screen, simply by tapping the icons.
Exposures are pretty accurate, especially on a bright day, although skin tones can be a little pale. The flash is fairly good, easily illuminating a dim/very dark room.â¨â¨Unfortunately the shutter isn't lightning quick, with a split-second pause when you press it. Unfortunately there isn't a dedicated button here like on the Windows 7 handsets, which means you need to hold it very carefully to avoid camera shake. There's also a secondary VGA camera.
We're disappointed with the 720x480 video, which isn't great, it exhibits lots of blocking and isn't very sharp. It's no match for the 1280x720p offered by the iPhone 4, Samsung Wave or HTC Desire HD.
The music player has a simple, but effective Android interface, with customisable playlists. Sound quality is adequate via a pair of Audio Technica headphones although it's a shame there's no EQ adjustment, although the volume control still works when the phone is in Hold position.
The Nexus S will have Google Maps 5.0, which adds 3D mapping, scroll in close to a city and you can see the buildings in 3D, using gestures to move around, although unfortunately our review sample only had 4.7.â¨
Google Nexus S: New features
One of the most exciting features of the Nexus S is the NFC chip. NFC stands for Near Field Communication and is a method of transmitting and receiving data over short distances. Hold the phone up to an item like a poster or T-shirt and it can read website information etc.â¨
It can also be used as a method of making payment, so in the future you will be able to hold your phone over the reader (like an Oyster card) to buy goods. Despite being big in Japan, this technology has not made it to the UK yet.The Nexus S can also make web calls for a SIP accounts.
Gaming gets a welcome boost too, with the three-axis gyroscope. As we mentioned in our hands-on review the only two games we were able to try were simple demos (see the hands on video for more details) hopefully more games will be available to test this soon.
Google Nexus S: Conclusion
There's no doubt that the Google Nexus S is one of the better Android handsets currently (or soon to be) on the market. The design is sleek and stylish, the screen is one of the best we've seen and it feels quick and powerful. Google's made some great tweaks to the interface and the keyboard makes for a more fluid typing experience. Battery life on our test model was also pretty impressive, easily pushing on into a second day's use, something that other smartphone makers should take note of.
However, it's not perfect. For starters, it's expensive - £549 sim free? Ouch. And the interface, while slicker and smoother to navigate is crying out for improved social networking integration (although granted this isn't something that everyone will care about). We think a microSD slot should be a given, as should a full HD movie mode - something we expect from Samsung handsets.
After using the Google Nexus S, you get the impression that the best is yet to come, when more games are available and we get a chance to try the NFC chip. Until then, this gets a very worthy 4 stars.
Google Nexus S release date: December 20th from Carphone Warehouse
Google Nexus S price: £549 sim free or free on £35 a month contractHands on
Earlier this week we were lucky enough to get some time with the first Android 2.3 'Gingerbread' handset, the Samsung Galaxy S and the latest Google phone, following the T-Mobile G1 and Google Nexus One.
Google Nexus S review
- Very quick
- Fantastic screen
- Vastly improved keyboard
- No microSD slot
- Vanilla Android UI
- Poor video/lack of HD video
The Nexus S is a gorgeous handset; it's far slicker version than the Samsung Galaxy S, with more curved edges and a unique curve, which is called the 'Contour Display' and makes the phone fit more comfortably to your face. The body is a very deep black, which apparently saves battery life on the front of the screen. Four touch sensitive buttons sit along the bottom: for menu, home, back and search.
The interface is vanilla Android, but it feels more refined and less cluttered the the Nexus One.
The Super AMOLED 4-inch screen is a highlight. Put simply it's gorgeous and one of the best we've seen on a handset. Playing back videos on You Tube colours are rich and punchy thanks to a fantastic contrast ratio, with deeper blacks that seem to merge into the edges of the phone.
Supporting full multitouch, the capacitive touchscreen responds quickly. They keyboard has been improved too, there's more space between each key and accessing the numeric keyboard is far smoother when typing. You get to it simply by holding a key down, instead of having to press and re-press the Symbol button. It's also much easier to copy text from within emails or web pages, simply by picking start and end points and copying the word.Samsung has emphasised the gaming prowess of the phone. At the heart of the phone is a three-axis gyroscope, so as well as tilting back and fourth when playing games you can physically flick the phone.
Google pre-loaded a couple of games on to the Nexus S; these involved moving a floating shape by waving the phone back and forth. It was fun, but not likely to be something that you'd want to use for very long – or in public. Although as with all gaming features, a lot depends on the quality of the games, so we'd really like to try it with games from different genres, perhaps sports games.
Gingerbread is the fastest version of Android yet, and thanks to the 1Ghz Hummingbird processor and 16GB flash memory, it certainly feels very speedy. Over WiFi web pages, including a picture-heavy website like T3.com render quickly and we could quickly swap between tasks without sluggishness. The dedicated Graphics Processing Unit also helps ensure video and games playback smoothly
One of the most interesting features of the phone is the NFC Chip (near field communication) chip, which lets you use the phone to read tags that are found in everyday objects – like T-Shirts and posters. Hold the phone up to the item and it will read information: including URLs and text, which can be saved to the phone. NFC technology is popular in Japan, but yet to launch here.
Along with a 5-megapixel camera, the Nexus S captures 720x480 videos, there's forward facing VGA camera for video calls, unfortunately we weren't able to try this.We're really excited about the Samsung Nexus S. It looks great, the screen is amazing and we can't wait to try out the features properly. We'll bring you a full review as soon as we can.

Get AccessAbstract
Behavioral research has revealed that some cognitive features may be similar between creative and psychotic/schizophrenic-like thoughts. In this study, we addressed the potential link between creativity and schizotypy at the level of the brain by investigating functional patterns of brain activity (using functional magnetic resonance imaging) during creative cognition in preselected groups with low versus high psychometrically determined schizotypy. Our findings revealed an association between the originality component of creativity and reduced deactivation of right parietal brain regions and the precuneus during creative cognition, congruent with the idea that more-creative people may include many more events/stimuli in their mental processes than do less-creative people. Similarly, the high-schizotypy group showed weaker deactivation of the right precuneus during creative cognition. The fact that originality and schizotypy show similar functional brain activity patterns during creative ideation (i.e., reduced deactivation of the right precuneus) strongly supports the contention that similar mental processes may be implicated in creativity and in psychosis proneness.

The Ten Best Things to Do in Miami This Weekend
Miami lives up to its star-studded reputation plenty of times during the year, but few of those times coincide with the swampy season that is summer. So this weekend is cause for extra celebration around the 305. iHeartRadio is bringing A-listers like J.Lo, Tiësto, and Iggy Azalea to the shores of Miami Beach. It's a pretty sweet followup to Wednesday night's Jay Z and Beyoncé show (and you probably won't get stuck in two hours of gridlock on your way there, either).
iHeartRadio's pool party is just one of the many reasons to brave the heat and humidity this weekend. Here are ten ways to make the most of the next three days.
- iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party: Jennifer Lopez, Tiësto, Neon Trees, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea, and Lil Jon splash down at the Fontainebleau.
- Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed: The film opens at Coral Gables Art Cinema with a special reception and appearances by director David Trueba and star Javier Camara. It's a rare chance to catch a movie before it opens anyplace else in the nation.
- "Rebirth": The latest installment in a recent series of Miami Marine Stadium love? This gallery exhibit.
- Block B: K-pop on SoBe. OMG.
- Miami Critical Mass: Tensions are high. Be safe out there, everyone.

EA's John Riccitiello has made a strong argument for why EA is looking to increase its Wii development. It boils down to the fact that developing for the Wii is a lot cheaper than for other current-gen consoles. Riccitiello said during EA's Q3 2009 earnings call that "development is typically a third to a fourth as much for a Wii game than it is for a PS3 or an Xbox 360 game." When put like that, it's a wonder anyone develops high-definition games at all.
Riccitiello went on to explain that this is largely due to Wii developers "producing less art than for high-definition games." As a result, EA will be giving the Wii as much developmental emphasis as the 360 and PS3 enjoy collectively, seeking to "rival Nintendo on their own platform." If the announcement of Dead Space for the Wii is any indication, more emphasis will also be put on bringing more hardcore experiences to the console, rather than ports of the latest Madden or block-based puzzle games.

"This is a gorgeous birthday party invitation. I've received a number of compliments on it as I've been receiving RSVPs. The colors are bright and pretty, the design is modern and fun. I also like that it's a versatile design. My daughters are turning 9 and 7 so I was able to have their ages included on the little red and white signs on the two cupcakes on top of the red cake stand."
"Absolutely adorable design. The paper quality and printing are superb. Easy to personalize with just the right color and font."
"I ordered this card for my three-year old daughter. I love how this card is not all pink and frilly, and I can see this design being appropriate for all different ages."
"The card is exactly what we expected, however, the design process was extremely limited. It would have been more helpful to allow manipulation of the text boxes for optimizing space available. Otherwise, it is exactly like the picture shows!"
"I absolutely loved the designed but expected better quality pictures. I can't tell if it is an error on my end or a flaw in the printing of the invitations."
