Local teen's love of tying flies inspires businessWritten by Sanya Ali | | email@example.com
When Hunter Hayes tells strangers he is an entrepreneur, they tend to react with disbelief. His loved ones know the truth and support him all the way.
"My family and friends have been my biggest motivation and supporters of what I do: my business and dreams," Hunter said.
Hunter, 17, founded Maumee River Flies & Guide Service in order to share his love of tying flies for fly-fishing.
Hunter began spending time outdoors with his father at a young age.
"I began hunting and fishing as soon as I was old enough to walk," Hunter said. "My dad, Randy Hayes, first introduced me to the outdoor world: canoeing, camping, hunting and fishing. My dad has shown me everything he knows about them, and he always had an answer for any of my questions."
Hunter began tying flies by chance when he found peacock feathers in his neighbor's yard.
"I asked my dad what I could use them for and, to the best of his knowledge, he explained to me flies and fly fishing," Hunter said. "I tied my first fly on a red jig head with peacock hurl on it, and my first cast I caught a bass, and it started snowballing from there."
Hunter's world changed on Dec. 1, 2005, when he found out he had Type I Diabetes. He was 9 years old.
"It was a hard blow and being so young it was very hard to comprehend," Hunter said. "I first asked my mom if it was contagious, and then if it was going to kill me. I was terrified, and unsure of what was next."
Instead of letting the illness deter him, Hunter decided to continue living his life.
"I have now had [diabetes] for almost nine years and it hasn't gotten any easier, although I have learned a lot about it and how to monitor and keep my numbers in check with my insulin pump, which I am so thankful for," Hunter said.
When he was in sixth grade, Hunter met renowned fly-tier Chris Helm, his grandfather's neighbor.
"He has taught me so many things with the art of fly fishing and tying, and always has an answer to my questions," Hunter said.
Randy said Hunter did play baseball and soccer as a kid, but the outdoors always took precedence over practice.
"It was harder to get him out of the pond to go to baseball practice," Randy said. "The nice thing about this, you can do this the rest of your life. There are not a lot of 50- or 60-year-old men playing baseball."
Recently Hunter decided to share his passions with the public. He makes his own ties and sells them through Facebook and his website, http://www.maumeeriverflies.com.
"I started Maumee River Flies & Guide Service as a way to make a couple extra bucks, meet new people, gain experience and introduce people to something that is not nearly as difficult or complicated as it can seem," Hunter said.
Randy said he is proud of his son for stepping in to a career path that not many teenagers would follow.
"There's not a lot of young people getting into the outdoor sports, so it's a great opportunity and there's definitely a market for it," Randy said.
The roadblocks Hunter has faced are due in part to his intensive work schedule. He works at Bass Pro Shops five days a week, Kroger one and reserves just one day for tying flies and giving tours.
"My biggest obstacles I have had so far have been finding time to tie flies to fill peoples orders from my website, and charging people to guide them on the Maumee River since I have so much fun doing it," Hunter said. "It's truly a deep passion of mine."
Randy said he wants a profitable future for his son.
"I hope he can earn a decent living doing something outdoors, whether it's tying flies, guiding, something in the outdoors he loves to do and can earn a decent living at it," Randy said.
Hunter still finds time to go out fishing with friends and one of his most powerful fishing memories is of the first time his friend, Clyde, hooked a carp.
"To see the enjoyment and happiness on someone's face is incomparable and simply cannot be beat," Hunter said. "I was so happy to experience it with him, and I know for a fact he is now hooked on fly fishing, especially for carp. Carp get a bad rep, mostly being considered trash fish and disgusting, but they sure are fun to hook up with on a 6-weight fly rod!"
Hunter said living with diabetes has been a challenge, but not one he cannot overcome.
"Diabetes has never, and will never slow me down, or stop me from achieving my goals and chasing my dreams," Hayes said. "I want anyone and everyone that has had diabetes or has been recently diagnosed with it to feel free to contact me for any advice or simply someone to talk to and assure them that they're not alone."

We take more than we give, consume more than Earth produces.
Too many I's and not enough teams.
From me-to-we an unovercomeable struggle, it seems.
Confusion breeds ignorance, media is negative, and we're out of excuses.
A bringer of change.
With myriad range.
The Gumboot's recipe.
For you all to see.
Creative solutions for community!
So there it is. And here we are. I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit bleak out there. I mean, Obama just brought healthy tyranny to the world's most important democracy – times are scary. Sure, "scientists" and "business leaders" and "David Suzuki" will tell you that melting glaciers, rising seas, catastrophic earthquakes, desertification, staggering poverty, and the decline of the honeybee present far more serious reasons for us to fear for – or just plain fear – the future, but some of those ideas are complicated and the words that explain them are hard to spell. Solutions need to be easier!
In the spirit of positivity and community-building, the Daily Gumboot is pleased to provide you, the people, with some fantastic options that you, the people, can consider as we lurch forward. Feel free to apply one, some or all of the options to your life and, most importantly, have fun with it!
Option 1. Embrace Chaos.
THE IDEA: A few weeks ago, I saw Career Development Phenom Jim Bright speak in Vancouver. His theory is Einstein-esque – simple, but nothing simpler – and here it is: there is no linear career path, as where we work has more to do with chaotically interconnected random events – both lucky and tragic – than with education, training, self-assessment, counselling, research, and/or the cultural landscape of our home town (though all these things are important). Our careers – like life – exist in chaos and we need to prepare ourselves for it. Here is the concept explained in video form:
OUR ACTION: Stop trying to plan and control everything, Batman/Kurt. You can't organize the trillions of random variables – like fuel prices – that make up the enormously complicated fabric of our planet's community. What we need to do is create both personal and community-based "adaptability toolkits" that allow ourselves and our neighbourhoods to roll with the punches that life throws our way. After all, every neighbourhood needs food-growers/makers, artists, leaders, accountants, builders, designers, fixers, and creators to collaboratively thrive within chaos. So begin preparing your "adaptability toolkit" today!
Option 2. Get to Know Your Business Community.
THE IDEA: Many folks will argue that business got us into this mess. And many folks, myself included, will argue that business can get us out of this mess. Mostly because it has to. Henry Mintzberg's article, "Rebuilding Companies as Communities" outlines a from-me-to-we solution for the many wrongly-worshipped CEOs out there. "We are social animals who cannot function effectively without a social system that is larger than ourselves," says Mintsberg. "This is what is meant by 'community' – the social glue that binds us together for the greater good." Mintzberg cites several examples of forward-thinking, people-firsting companies who 'get it' – one such organization, federation of Basque super-cooperatives, Mondragon, definitely jives with a les Nordiques as co-operative notion, as told by Gumbooteer Martin Renauld. As it turns out, putting people first is really good for business!
OUR ACTION: All around the world – in business, education or non-profit and with volunteerism, neighbourhoods, families, and politics – the simple, age-old concept of "community" is being re-applied everywhere. So, whether you're sitting at your work-desk, sipping coffee in your 'hood, or chatting with your mouth full during family dinner, reflect on this very important question: "how is this activity- this one I'm doing right now – positively contributing to my community?" Because if your idea/action involved a plan to create a superawesome social networking community that specializes in volunteerism and philanthropy, well, Chris Hughes, of Facebook fame and who only 26 years old, stole your idea before you even had one. It's called Jumo and, like Chris, it's pretty awesome.
Option 3. Reset Ourselves to Natural Capitalism.
THE IDEA:Termed by entrepreneur and world-changer Paul Hawken, Natural Capitalism seeks to solve the dirty, dirty problems being created by our outdated global system that is driven by Industrial Capitalism. Hawken argues that this can be done in four key ways:
OUR ACTION: Make love to Mother Earth! Dig a hole in the ground. Put a little water in it. And go to town. No, wait, this is an inappropriate use of natural capital and, more importantly, such action has already been taken by Will Ferrell with great success. Anyway, we basically need to incorporate this stuff called "nature" into our economic formula, which currently employs a ridiculous equation that seems to assume our planet's resources will keep pace with the exponential consumption of industrial capitalism. Be the change, people!
Option 4. Become a Radical Homemaker.
THE IDEA: Wency Leung presented the notion of Radical Homemakers in a recent edition of an up-and-coming print newspaper called the Globe and Mail. Again, a simple idea: give up the rat race and take care of your families and communities by growing local, organic and, more than likely, healthy food.
OUR ACTION: "In pursuit of a more personally fulfilling and ecologically sustainable lifestyle, these so-called 'radical homemakers' are relying less on monetary income and are, instead, picking up domestic skills such as vegetable gardening and cooking to help meet their basic needs," says Leung. Accept the honest fact that a reduction in income does not necessarily equal a drop in your standard of living. If you need a place to start, check out a recent post by Pete's favourite Correspondent, Katie Burns.
Option 5. Piracy.
THE IDEA: Forget the global community. Heck, forget everyone outside of your neighbourhood! This option is all about you and your closest friends/family/shareholders. Sure, people outside your immediate circle might vilify you. But, remember, it's not about them, it's about you and your very local community. Somali pirates aren't really "Somali pirates", after all; according to over 70% of Somalians, they're actually a necessary component of a patch-work coastal defense structure!
OUR ACTION: Find some friends. Secure a boat, truck, web server, and/or multinational corporation. Pillage things from people and places without asking and, if necessary, use force, coercion and, possibly, the Internet to do it. Sure, pirate ships were and are bastions of democracy at it's truest, but they're also pretty violent. So, any action taken by us, I hope, is conceptual and only literal if necessary.
Have fun with your consideration of such options. May they inspire us all to create many, many more!

Deestroy, your posts are some of the most accurate statements I've read about the state of WoW lately. And here, I thought it was just me.

with Deestroy about community now a shadow of its former self and about how good WoW used to be and got worse at every expansion and updates.
I faintly remember how a 3.x something update long ago started making everything disgustingly easy. My 3-4 first months in WoW were pure bliss, I was fond of what they created, but with the years they betrayed their players and turned their game into a massive cash hysteria not respecting their own words, allowing pve to pvp server transfer 3 days before Warhammer's launch, allowing faction change on same server (!!! seriously). Not enforcing RPG rule, not watching over constant channel abuse.
Community is still horrible, you still have a gold spammer every minute in capital cities, graphics is still poor, textures low, there's still no general story or epic backbone, housing, etc so it's really a silly cartoony playground for rude teenagers.
So I'd say, don't play it now and find yourself a better mmorpg 8-P

For myself, I recently came back after 2 years break, and having a great time starting over some brand new characters. It's fun as long as you remember it's a game, and to not rush to lvl 80 because half of the fun for me was the lower level dungeon crawling and pre-80 BG's.
If you're interested, go for it. It's not like the market is full of wonderful MMO's to play anyway

As an IT guy, if it takes WoW to get people to start being more careful and learn more about protecting themselves online, then so be it. Better WoW account than your banking accounts.
I'm sorry but i cannot agree with the stuff being said by the above posters. In fact, WoW is one of the few old games where you can barge in from the beginning and in an acceptable time you can participate seamlessly in the most high end activities. Also, the game isn't expected to drown or die in the next few years, so in that sense it's a good bet.
WoW is a pretty much easy experience from the beginning. It's very easy to start playing and level your characters, so even non-gamers can start playing right away and have fun.
That said, it's an hard game to master. The most competitive stuff, like the hardcore mode end raids, are truly unforgiving in that matter. Most of the people that you see around here screaming "WoW is too easy", can't really backup their claims with something valuable, it's just the word spread around and they like to bitch.
Also, "vanilla WoW this, vanilla WoW that", it's becoming annoying already. Vanilla WoW was good at the time. The game was fresh and new, and most stuff looked like epic. But really, if you were to play vanilla WoW today, it would S U C K bad. Nostalgia is what those people have, and it really distorts what was like "back in the days". It had great, good, bad and awful things. We have to live with that.
The community in WoW, is generally not good. But when a game has almost more subscribers alone than the entire competition, you'd think there are plenty more morons there. Also, it's obvious that gold sellers attack it more, but there are easy ways to deal with that through addons.
If you have friends there and are gonna play with them, the community won't matter much to you, really. It's not hard to find a good mature guild either, I've been in plenty of them, both casual and hardcore.
Also, the game has a great lot of lore and back-story. People telling you the contrary can't be trusted. It's one of the most extensive lore-driven games around, has 3 warcraft games backing it up and plenty of written books also. To be honest, I think you should at least get a feel of Warcraft 3 before playing WoW, at least to understand some of the story.
Also, the game plays nice, and you can easily play it your way. You can level through grinding (boring, but effective if you know what you're doing), questing (and there are lots of quests that set in the lore) and PvPing in the battlegrounds (afaik the slowest mode, but for PVP addicts the most fun one).
But let's not forget that it has flaws too. The game isn't perfectly balanced (no game is), the starting of a new char without any help can be a bit overwhelming, especially when it comes to some gear choice and talents \ glyphs. It should not be hard though, to find extensive and detailed help on how to develop your character, both in WoW forums or in fan-sites.
The graphics are outdated, even though I admit I like the cartoonish style. On the other side, you don't really need a great PC to play WoW decently, which is good for your pockets.
It has no survival sense, or housing. This isn't a real flaw, to be honest. It's more the style and feel of the game. Also, it's instanced, and the stuff you do won't alter the state of the game itself (well, except in some events, and also in WOTLK where they started a new concept of fading world).
Give it a try, and see the feeling of the game, and the combat itself. If you can beat the first 15 levels of a druid \ shaman (gee, the most boring classes at start) then you're probably good to go. Get a free trial, and never forget that friends > all. The game becomes a lot less fun when you're "alone".
You can also state what kind of features you do like in a game like this, that could help us helping you telling whether the game is or isn't, and what should you expect.

I don''t have to know how to make a better game, I only need to know where the "CANCEL" button is!
Any time someone asks "should I...?" you're bound to get a lot of differing opinions. It's more a matter of perception than anyone being "right" or "wrong" on the subject. I've played WoW on and off since the open beta stress tests that were run in the months leading up to release and while many things have improved, unfortunately, I feel that much of the creativity that went into the original game has evaporated in recent months. The focus now is on the Arena, Blizzard's competitive E-Sport. Greg Street (Ghostcrawler) seems to have been tasked with turning the game inside-out in an attempt to make Arenas viable, to the detriment of everything else. Much of what was based on lore and imagination has turned into an unfortunate pursuit of gear and numbers.
While I would have preferred a Diablo MMO (my personal preference), Warcraft does have a rich background and the early game of WoW showed that. The people who are working on the game now are not the same crew. Why does every sword in Northrend look like a cross between Cloud Strife and Fred Flintstone? Why are players encouraged to run the same instances over and over until they become running jokes? Why is there no real distinction between a Dwarf Priest and a Forsaken Priest? Who thought it was a good idea to create the ridiculous and annoying Mechano-hog? Mr T grenades? Temporary miniature skeleton pets with sombreros? Pilgrim costumes? Instant cross-server grouping? You think these were all good ideas?
The strategy seems to be to keep players distracted long enough to squeeze one more month's subscription fee out of them. Blizzard's partnership with Activision has turned their creativity into souless corporatism. What was once a vibrant, living fantasy world now resembles a box of crayons that someone's taken a flamethrower to.
That's my impression, but your mileage may vary.

I would wait until Cataclysm is out to be honest. I started a Warrior and then quit when I got him to 77 after the "nerf them again" announcements (We are aready a 100% gear based class with shitty line specs, what gives?).
Take it from me, there will be many people quitting after the changes hit and new folks coming in, just wait is my opinion (your not missing anything).

Accounts are being hacked daily and blizzard is doing nothing to stop it...other than delete the accounts of the unfortunates who got hacked and then tell them to "Buy a new account and pray to whatever god you serve it doesnt happen again". No thats not a direct quote but its pretty much what they told me in so many words. Enjoy the wonderful world of hackcraft.
Deadpool(to "Daredevil): See how you like it when I smack you with an interspatial distorter that will temporarily phase your brain into Dimension X!

WoW will not die when those games you mentioned come out, so you have nothing to worry about. WoW will probably go pretty strong for 3-5 years (if not more). I predict we will see a gradual decline over time.
"The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in."
I think pilgrim costumes are ok, and cross-server stuff is awesome, it means that no matter what time you'll always have someone to do some instance with.
I understand the "forsaken and dwarf priest" view, they had some unique spells based on race, which gave some feeling. But why did only priests have them?
Also, those priest abilities meant that dwarf priests were awesome, human and night elf were sub-par, for example. Fear ward was really powerful back then, and that is bad for the game.
I agree that the game might have lost a bit of feeling, but it's not the culprit alone. It's an aged game, the feeling is bound to fade, so the game needs to come with new stuff.
Now, I don't like every change they did, but most of them have some reasoning behind them, and can even be understandable. To appeal to more people, the game had to leave some of the crowd behind.
I think they'll be gone with the arenas in the next expansion though, and bring BG glory back. Yeah, I do loathe arena, and enjoy BG's. Arena kinda ruined a lot of the balance and class fun we had, but when I played (i've stopped playing since October or so) I could easily ignore the arena stuff and have fun with my raids and casual BGs.

Frankly, the internet was much more fun when it was populated by nerds and the tech-savvy as opposed to Facebook moms and grandpa. Good riddance.

I have a sneaking suspicion that one culprit is the prevalence of add-ons that people tack onto their games without a second thought. It's rare to find players that have never used any sort of downloaded mod. Blizzard said during beta that they were allowing modders access to the game files so they could root out exploits and hacks. Well, that came and went and at some point, the developers decided that they could use the mods to add to the basic game. Now people download and install these things without thinking. There's no telling what they wind up putting into their game client in the process.

I know the difference between normal levels of hacked accounts and the BS we have going on now. There is no way with most computers running Norton, half if not all of us running some free anti Virus, not to mention most of use behind a firewall with anti spyware keylogger software. That all those accounts were personally attacked by their own hacker. I mean you really believe that there is a hacker army out there looking for us one by one, or would they just hack battlenet AGAIN. Get real.
Look I live with a Server Network Expert, I can tell you for a fact that Battlenet is shit.
Lol, ok.
So Battle.net is shit and Norton provides effective protection. Uh huh.
Better consult with your 'Server Network Expert' again. Your post is full of the type of computer ignorance that allows virus and malware writers to be successful.
People that get hacked are doing something they shouldn't be doing (or not doing something, take your pick). Do some research or pay a professional to educate you. There's no reason to ever get hacked.
You can be hacked without actually doing anything bad except connecting your computer to internet unless you wrote your own OS and all software and you're 100% sure there is no way that ...
I planned to write a very long comment to your "There's no reason to ever get hacked.". And then the truth stroke me. You would never understand.

Samsung announces Galaxy S III, biggest iPhone competitor to date
Samsung has announced their next generation flagship Android phone, and as expected it's the Galaxy S III (no, they didn't go with "the new Galaxy"). Android Central is covering everything live from London and they've already gone over all the big stuff. On the hardware, Alex Dobie says:
The Samsung Galaxy S III is perhaps best summarized with three S's -- sleek, sexy and shiny. It's available in two colors -- pebble blue and pearl white, and both versions feature the same glossy plastic finish with a metallic trim around the side. It's a fingerprint magnet to be sure, but the Galaxy S III certainly isn't lacking star quality -- it looks and feels like a high-end device, and Samsung's made a clean break with some of its older design language in this new flagship product.
Sadly, it doesn't look like they upgraded the plastic of their casing to match the Nokia Lumia 900 or HTC One X, which means I'm still calling Hasbro on the feel. However, everything else looks significantly great. As for the software:
The new design language is most evident in the new TouchWiz lockscreen, which ripples like a pool of water when activated. Audio cues, too, take on a more naturalistic approach, with droplet sounds punctuating UI interactions like menu selections and button presses.
Also, the TouchWiz launcher has been re-vamped, but the changes are largely cosmetic -- different icons, different chrome, but functionally very similar to the way TouchWiz'd ICS operates on the Galaxy S II. You've got seven home screens by default, customizable with the usual plethora of bright, vivid widgets (yep, TouchWiz is colorful as always). There's a neat 3D transition effect when jumping from panel to panel, and thanks to the bleeding edge hardware inside the phone, all this visual finery flows off the screen at a buttery-smooth frame rate.
Android Central has literally a ton more coverage, including a monstrous gallery and a bunch of video.
Head on over there now, drink it all in, and then come back here and let us know what you think. Will the Galaxy S III slow down iPhone 4S sales in the short term? Will it force Apple to raise the bar even higher for the iPhone 5?

Samsung announces Galaxy S III, biggest iPhone competitor to date
I think that's the fundamental difference in philosophy. Yes, Android phones come out in droves each year but when you [at least when I] select a device you're buying into that line.
So whether I buy an iPhone, S3, Evo, etc there will only be one phone per year for that line. Unless you are distracted by everything that comes out, there is no issue here. If you are distracted, the new Blackberry may entice you or even the Windows/Nokia marriage gives you buyers remorse.
No issue if you think of it in those terms.
Not sure if serious....hoping you aren't THAT ignorant...
Douchebag says what?
I'm in that boat now. I don't know if I want the S3 or the new Evo. Both are compelling but I think battery life will be my telling factor as the Evo line has burned me two years in a row.
I like Sprint.
Removable batteries are a benefit? Why not simply make one that lasts?
Yes, removable batteries are indeed a benefit, as is removable and expandable data cards (SD). If i had to go into every reason WHY that is an advantage you should have your head removed from where you sit.
But that being said i didn't need either, which is why i am on an ip4s.
But to say because something doesn't fit MY needs it is useless or pointless is just asinine..
You had a douchebag response to his post. Taking things a little too personal, friend. What you need is a good porn or just get laid already.
The S2 has great battery life so the S3 with a larger battery should be astonishing. You can't same the same about the Evo or Evo 3D so I'm skeptical on the Evo 4G LTE.
I'll stick to my Galaxy Nexus until the iPhone 5
I think it's FUGLY and I really don't understand anyone who thinks it's a good idea to have a phone the size of a tablet. Mobile phone, smart or otherwise should be just that, mobile otherwise what is the point, seriously. If I wanted to carry round a tablet sized device i'd just buy a tablet !!
Are people still struggling to understand how different users have different desires and needs in phone aesthetics? 4-5 inch phones sell well. Might be time to get used to that fact.
This is what happens when a company doesn't have Jonothan Ive. He and his team are really the driving innovation left in Apple.
Agreed. I have a Galaxy Nexus and vastly prefer it to the iPhone 4s, but I'd be thrilled if the look and feel of the physical device were in the same league as the iPhone 4 series.
There are some really nice updates here with a few gimmicks but overall I think it'll be an industry leading device family again. We shall see.
Oh and no it won't make Apple step their game up. Apple is going to stay status quo for as long as they choose. Incremental updates plus a big feature or two are enough in iOS land. Android land seems to have multiple gimmicks, some big features, and some "why?" one's with every device [looking at my Evo 3D as I type]. lol
Nothing special. I'm just waiting for the new iPhone.
I think when looking at the screen it looks very much like an that has been copied into a bigger screen. I also like the feeling of the iphone with it's weight than plastic cheap feeling. What I'm waiting to see is if Apple continues to impress its users with the new Iphone or if I will just stick with my iphone 4 or 4s until something new arrives. Samsung is defintely pushing the iphone look that is for sure.
I am a self confessed apple fanboy, I'm on my 4th iphone, 2nd ipad, 2nd touch ( wifes ) and have an atv2, it pains me however to admit that if the next iphone doesn't have a larger screen I will be very tempted to jump ship. If a 4" screen and a new physical design are they only major selling points of the new iphone that will be enough for me to stay but if its the same 3.5" screen I will give android a shot. I may come back with my tail between my legs but I'll give it a shot.
Has anyone even looked at the features of this thing? Calling a contact by just holding the phone next to your ear? Going to sleep when you sleep, or look away? Telling you what happend in your social media while you were sleeping? Tracking your eyes? Recognising your friends in photos you take? Ahh...and all this without Jailbreaking...
Too big. Size makes it a nonstarter as does color. did he say it's blue and white? No black? Those make it a nonstarter for me.
Other than that the phone looks ok. I've got nothing really against android. I'm ok with it. every OS has some areas to improve. But the size and if it didn't come in black would make it not an option for me. 4.5 is too big let alone 4.8. I'm not interested in switching from an iphone but this hardware wouldn't do it had i wanted to.
Size definitely matters, soldier.
+1. Lol
And I am an iSheep
My thoughts exactly... The comments transpire some well deserved jealousy but "no man down" yet, the iOS user base is probably as loyal as the Mac OS X crowd. In any case (no pun intended) they will all patiently wait till big daddy Cook comes with the new toy. It better be good though and Siri can't say in beta much longer, they can't pull the 4s trick off twice.
Last but not least : while the S3 is gonna be a clear hit like the 4s was six months ago, it becomes obvious that is more and more difficult to truly innovate in smartphoneland, till starts to feel like MS Office n+1. Time for the next big thing indeed.
speak for yourself. i'm not buying a 4.8 inch phone no matter who makes it. There have been what 4 or 5, including all the s models, iphones already and i'm just now buying my first. Seems to me you're likely just a fanboy of some other platform. See we all aren't fanboys. I've got no problem with the phone except size and color. Oh and i refused to buy an ipod until they released a black one. Some people have things they want. i don't buy things cause it's simply made by some company. I think you're just caught up in idiotic nerd operating system battles.
I think this phone will totally rock! I have to say, I was completely against the giant phones for so long. I though they looked ridiculous. Then I read a post on a forum (regarding the Note) that said "It does look a little big when you hold it up to your ear but I rarely talk on my phone anyway". I thought that was a great point. I will be anxious to see the iPhone 5 (or 6, whatever) specs. Its going to be a tough choice this summer.
Every week when a new Android phone is announced it's supposed to be the biggest competitor. Then 2 months later you can pick it up for .99 cents on contract.
I was recently in a big dick contest and someone asked me, "how big is it?"
I simply replied, " I only take out enough to win."
It's actually a really nice phone although I'm still someone who doesn't like the really big screens. I think 4" is perfect so hope Apple decides to suck it up and make a bigger screen. I also hope they choose to make some serious UI improvements with iOS 6 although I'm not holding my breath but iOS needs a refresh. Apple would laugh at that as it has made them insanely rich and dominant in the mobile world.
The Galaxy SIII is an iterative upgrade and not a bad one but it didn't live up to the hype built up around the device. I think the new HTC One X is a better looking device and the Super LCD 2 screen gives a better viewing experience than the Pentile Super Amoled led on the S3. It's been 2 years iphone 4 came out but with phones like the HTC One X, Rezound and S3 Android has finally caught up in terms of screen quality and pixle density while offering a wider variety of sizes.
No matter what device comes out.....none can be like an iPhone. Even if iPhone is behind the times---I will never want to use Android. The iPhone is in it's own category/world in my eyes. I hope iPhone/Apple always keeps it up. But I am addicted to iPhone/iOS (Android is way too much nonsense--half the people I know who have one don't even know how to properly save a picture or find it after they take/save one!)...and they (Apple) are not gonna be like Blackberry---they are smarter than these other phone-makers. They will bring it since they brought it. ;-)
Wow, this is probably the most android friendly ios website. I admire you guys for expressing your opinions without having to retort to mockery. Death to fanboyism! I may be fan of Samsung, but I can't lie, I did wish Samsung would produce a galaxy phone with a smaller screen like the iphone. Maximum, 4.5 inches (screen size)!
For some maybe, but not everyone is as well informed as you regarding iOS options and settings. Enjoy launching your MacBook from the 4th floor, sounds like fun!

Jason Segel Gossip
Jason Segel gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
Katie Holmes and Jason Segel are not dating. Because STAR Magazine is the publication that initially reported it. STAR, by the way, also reports in its latest issue that Lupita Nyong'o and K'naan are talking about marriage. No.
Holmes rep has denied the claim: "The story is completely untrue. Read Full Intro
Miss Piggy without Jason Segel
Muppets Most Wanted opens today. So far the reviews are pretty decent, tracking at 77% at Rotten Tomatoes at post time. Can you go wrong with Piggy, the greatest international superstar in the world? Please, Piggy, please stop reading now. Of the reviews I have read however, some are saying that the energy that's missing from this movie is Jason Segel. Full Story
Cam's holding hands with Jason
It's on the set of their new movie, so don't get too excited. But still. She looks great. HE looks great. Like, when's the last time we talked about Jason Segel's jawline, right? If this is one of the side benefits of him not drinking anymore, I say that's good motivation too. But Cam apparently was out with Benicio Del Toro the other night and people were trying to make something of it. Full Story
Cam & Jason Segel?
Jason Merritt/ Getty
Let's begin with a disclaimer: the source for the following is LIFE & STYLE. So… you know. According to the magazine, the two went on a date in the Hamptons. They also went grocery shopping together. Since Gwyneth Paltrow is in the neighbourhood, am assuming she approves. Full Story
Jason without Michelle
This is Jason Segel in West Hollywood yesterday having coffee with a friend. Anytime anyone isn't famous they're immediately labelled "mystery woman/man". I'm not getting any vibes. Are you? As you know, Segel is no longer with Michelle Williams. Their relationship lasted a year, and almost every source concurs that the decision was hers. Full Story
Michelle & Jason: it's over
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At exactly the same time last year, I reported exclusively that Michelle Williams and Jason Segel were dating. Today US Weekly is reporting exclusively that their relationship is over, citing "distance" as the major obstacle and that the split was amicable. Full Story
Best Love of 2012: Michelle Williams & Jason Segel
Tom Meinelt /Sharpshooter Images /Splash News, Osvaldo/FAMEFLYNET
But no pressure or anything! Seriously, because I love them. And maybe I'm a little biased. I broke the story in March that they were dating. And then a few weeks later, they were photographed together. And then they just stopped trying to hide it. Full Story
Matilda went to camp
So Michelle Williams and Jason Segel had a free day. They went out for lunch with some friends. I love this. All of this: - That Matilda's at camp, playing and having fun (even though it might be with gross rich LA kid friends). - That shirt-dress Michelle is wearing that is probably really expensive for something that isn't super flattering. Full Story
Michelle & Jason's family weekend
Jackson Lee/Splash
These pictures are SO cute. Here are Michelle Williams and Jason Segel in New York enjoying the weekend with Matilda. Jason looked after Matilda the other day when Michelle was at Comic-Con for Oz. Click here Full Story
Chatty Matilda
Check out little Matilda Ledger yammering away, hand in hand with her mother's boyfriend Jason Segel. Cute, right? The two were photographed in New York yesterday and as you can see, although Segel and Michelle Williams have only been dating about six months, he has clearly become fully integrated into their lives, so much so that Matilda and he share alone time together while Michelle is out of town. Full Story
Gay & Straight Summer Love in NYC
Michelle Williams and Jason Segal went for a walk in New York on Saturday with Matilda and the nanny. Look at him. He's wearing his hair shorter. He's hot. Just like she glowed the other night from the inside - click here for a refresher - his happiness is making him prettier too. Full Story
Lock this down
Michelle Williams is aglow. Have you ever seen her so... lit up? I don't love the white shoe combination with this dress but whatever... It's more than just a pair of heels. As cheesy as it is, it's what comes out from inside. And inside... Michelle is in LOVE. With Jason Segel. Full Story
What's different?

You Needed His Opinion?
I've heard stories about some people in this industry, and I've told a few myself. Some ridiculous, and some just eyeroll-y, and a few really sweet. This is the nature of the beast, we talk constantly about the bold-face names we write about all the time, and if they're horrible to work with, everyone in the industry knows it. Full Story

Overeem vs. Frank Mir shifted to UFC 169, Jon Jones vs. Teixeira set as main event
One card's loss is another card's gain, as a heavyweight collision between Frank Mir and Alistair Overeem, initially scheduled for UFC 167, has been moved to Zuffa's Super Bowl weekend event, UFC 169.
Additionally, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will attempt to make the seventh consecutive defense of his title when UFC's No. 1 ranked pound-for-pound fighter takes on Glover Teixeira in the night's main event.
UFC 169 is slated to take place Feb. 1, 2014 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Newsday first reported the bookings, which were then confirmed by UFC officials.
According to Newsday, Mir and Overeem were removed from the UFC 167 card to allow Mir further time to recover from his August 31 knockout loss to Josh Barnett.
"While there was no indication whatsoever that Mir wouldn't be fully, medically cleared in time to compete on November 16th, UFC officials and Nevada Commission representatives believed that a short postponement would allow both athletes more time to train for the bout," the UFC said in a statement to Newsday.
As a result of the switch, UFC President Dana White told MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani that a preliminary bout between Josh Koscheck and Tyron Woodley will replace Mir vs. Overeem on UFC 167's pay-per-view lineup

A classic nor'easter that clobbered the East Coast landed a one-two blow on the Capital Region Thursday, dropping nearly five inches of daytime snow before a second, more potent band moved in overnight.
In all, about 12 to 14 inches of fresh snow was anticipated to have fallen before the mighty 24-hour storm made its way out of the region on Friday toward Canada.
If the storm does drop a foot of snow here, it would surpass a Dec. 14-15 storm that brought 11.5 inches of snow, the largest single-storm total for this season.
The storm, which paralyzed southern cities like Atlanta with ice and shut down Washington D.C., churned into the Albany area around 7 a.m., hours earlier than expected, prompting Gov. Andrew Cuomo to declare a state of emergency in every Capital Region county. Schools, malls and stores shut their doors early. More than 60 flights were grounded at Albany International Airport, which was white-coated and largely empty all day.
Roads in the region had little traffic, as motorists followed appeals to avoid travel.
"Drivers should stay off of the roads if at all possible, and exercise extreme caution if they absolutely must travel," Cuomo said in a statement. State offices stayed open, but non-essential employees could ask supervisors to stay home. "Remember to check on your neighbors and loved ones throughout the storm, monitor local news reports to stay informed and heed the advice of emergency management professionals."
By 4:30 p.m., when the first round of the storm had wound down from blizzard-like conditions to faint flurries, 4.5 inches of snow had fallen in Albany, according to the National Weather Service. The respite was brief, however, as a powerful band was to creep into the area by 9 p.m., the weather service said. That second blast of winter weather was expected to be most intense from midnight to around 3 a.m., when snow was anticipated to fall at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour, said Brian Frugis, a weather service meteorologist. Slowly easing up by sunrise, snow was expected to stop falling here by around 7 a.m. Friday, Frugis said. Though the heavy snow should leave the area before the morning commute, drivers will still likely have a sloppy, slow trip.
"It's probably going to be pretty messy," Frugis said.
Thursday's storm was the second to slam the Capital Region in eight days. Before snow started to fall Thursday, the weather service there was still seven inches of snow on the ground from a Feb. 5 storm that dumped 10.4 inches of snow on Albany. If the Thursday and early Friday snowfall does total to a foot or more, around 20 inches of snow will be on the ground in the region.
The storm added to an already snowy winter. Before Thursday, 48 inches had fallen in Albany this season, nearly 10 inches more than the 39.7-inch average for the date, according to weather service data.
The relentless winter weather has triggered salt shortages in a number of municipalities statewide. Richard Hendrick, manager at the Port of Albany, where some salt is stored, said options are limited for private contractors that are running low. "Some of the salt piles are not selling to private parties to make sure that what's already been ordered is available for each of the municipal customers," said Hendrick, a situation he said has not happened in about 10 years.
Justin Sherwin, owner of Capital Land Construction, said he was turned away from American Rock Salt in Troy. He said the company told him all of the salt had been allocated.
Sherwin estimates his company, which does snow removal and de-icing for area businesses, went through 60 tons of salt last year, and has already used about 140 tons this year.
While many area businesses closed, Proctors stayed open for its scheduled show for the celebrity chef Alton Brown. The decision outraged some ticket holders who felt unsafe to drive but would not be eligible for refunds. Proctors spokesman Michael Eck said theater adheres to a strict policy that the show will go on if the act shows up, which Brown did Thursday despite the treacherous weather.
"(Brown's) got a very tight tour," Eck said. A message from Brown reading "Weather schmeather. I'm from Georgia. I'm here." was posted on Proctors website Thursday. Attendance figures for Brown's show were not immediately available.

Multiple levels of subdomain delegation
From Brandonhutchinson.com
In this (admittedly convoluted, but I encountered it at work) example, assume the zone we are authoritative for is example.org.
- We want to delegate shiznit.example.org to two name servers, ns1.shiznit.example.org and ns2.shiznit.example.org.
- We want to delegate subdomain.shiznit.example.org to a different name server, ns1.subdomain.shiznit.example.org.
- The name servers for shiznit.example.org know nothing about subdomain.shiznit.example.org (this can be a problem with the glue record; see below).
Our example.org zone will look something like (assuming an $ORIGIN of example.org):
- Delegations
shiznit IN NS ns1.shiznit shiznit IN NS ns2.shiznit subdomain.shiznit IN NS ns1.subdomain.shiznit
- Glue records
ns1.shiznit IN A 192.168.1.100 ns2.shiznit IN A 192.168.1.101 ns1.subdomain.shiznit IN A 192.168.1.102 (not needed, see below)
There can be a problem with the above configuration. Although BIND 9 (9.3.4-P1 in this example) will correctly following the subdomain delegation of subdomain.shiznit, it will not use the ns1.subdomain.shiznit glue record in the example.org zone.
In other words, BIND will attempt to resolve the A record for ns1.subdomain.shiznit by querying the delegated name servers for the shiznit subdomain, ns1.shiznit and ns2.shiznit.
To make this work, you can either:
- Place the glue record in its parent. i.e., add the following DNS A record to the ns1.shiznit and ns2.shiznit name servers (assuming an $ORIGIN of shiznit.example.org).
ns1.subdomain IN A 192.168.1.102
- Configure subdomain.shiznit as a forward or stub zone.
It would probably make the most sense to have the shiznit.example.org name servers properly delegate the subdomain.shiznit.example.org subdomain.

HAMBURG, N.Y. – A variety of events that illuminate and bring together diverse cultures and traditions from around the world are planned during Hilbert College's Cultural Awareness Week celebration held October 8–11. Events and activities include a multi-cultural dinner, film screenings, bazaar, and a presentation by Chicano poet Luis Rodriguez.
The "Building Bridges, Creating Community" themed week begins at 3:00 p.m. on October 8 with the unveiling of an exhibit, multi-cultural dinner, and film. The unveiling of the "Wall of Peace and Inclusivity" will take place in the McGrath Library.

On Oct. 11, a viewing of the film "Unseen Tears" will be presented from 12:30-1:40 p.m. in Bogel Hall. Michael Martin, Executive Director for Native American Community Services of Erie and Niagara Counties Inc, will lead a discussion about the film's chronicle of experiences of Native American families in WNY, as a result of their enrollment in Indian School and the Mohawk Institute.
The Grace Stumberg Band will play as part of the collaborative event "Promoting Acceptance, Dignity and Social Inclusion" between Hilbert College and OAHIIO, (The Good Path) from 3:15-7:00 p.m. in the Main Quad (rain location is upper level of the Campus Center).

Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt": Ralph Stearley
While it is true that Goodwin and others believe that their discoveries pose a major challenge to neo-Darwinian orthodoxy, this does not cause them to abandon their belief that the history of life can be explained as the outcome of biological processes!
New Creation: The Hermeneutic of Love
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
Christ, Trinity, and Creation, Part 2
Christ is the reason the natural sciences work: he is the source of the laws of nature, and he contains and underpins the natural sciences. Christ is the pattern for all created things, while the Spirit – his presence in the created world – breathes the divine fire into the equations.
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Interpreting Adam: Introduction
Four Views on the Historical Adam shows that evangelical Christians are far from agreeing on the particulars of Adam and Eve. But this book also makes clear that there is strong agreement among evangelical Christians on the fundamentals of the Christian faith. We agree that all Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative, even while disagreeing on the interpretation of some passages.
Creation Out of Nothing
The key point of continuity between redemption and creation is the idea that the future can be different from the past, i.e., the key is eschatology. More abstractly put, God does new things.
The Challenge of Cosmology
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief (12 entries)
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
