Mental Health support group/open house meeting tonight
Anyone dealing with mental health issues is invited to an open house at 7 p.m. today at the Crawford Building, Rutherford Regional Medical Center, sponsored by the Rutherford, Cleveland Chapter, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
NAMI is the nation's largest advocate and support group of mentally ill and offers education and support programs for an educational program and a support program.
Betty Frye of Boiling Springs, who serves as president of the Rutherford, Cleveland Chapter, said, "People who come to the meeting tonight can hear about the support and resources provided by NAMI."
Frye said she became involved with NAMI in 1986 when she was living in Houston, Texas. She and her husband's son had a mental illness and they searched for help with resources provided to the families and the patient.
"I knew there had to be somebody out there or some place out there, a support group for the family," Frye said. "We didn't know what to do."
"That changed our lives," she said.
Frye said at that time if their son wasn't getting the services he was promised, she would go to NAMI for help and the organization always responded.
NAMI is dedicated to building better lives for those affected by mental illness.
For more information about today's meeting or NAMI, call 704-434-5166 or 704-434-6921.

Read Poems by
Karlin K.
Karlin K. Jensen
That year was different.
That year, we discovered things.
Time got longer for us,
Our cages more confined.
We learned who was real,
And who wore a mask.
I found out how many
Tears I could cry.
Laughter was found
In unexpected places.
Changes happened daily,
Our expectations never realized.
Words were spoken lightly;
Truth and lies so similar.
We were growing up,
Too fast, yet so slowly.
It was a year of learning.
Of changing.
Of discovering who we are.
It was grade twelve.

It's been a while since I posted anything here, and I'm sorry for that. It's been a tough week for me and although I've done some cooking and photographing these days, I just couldn't pull myself together to manage to write a recipe for you.
But today I woke up craving a moussaka and I remembered I prepared this dish a while back and still haven't posted it. So here I am, writing about it and looking at the pics, while drinking my cranberry tea.
I actually ate a lot of moussaka while growing up, since it was a dish that my mother really liked preparing and we all enjoyed it. My version of moussaka is a bit different from hers though, since she does not add the sour cream between the layers, but I find it gives a little something to the final taste, besides the extra calories of course.
1st layer: 1/3 minced meat; 2nd layer: potatoes
3rd layer: 1/3 minced meat; 4th layer: 1/2 cream mixture; 5th layer: 1/2 grated cheese
6th layer: potatoes; 7th layer: 1/3 minced meat; 8th layer potatoes; 9th layer: 1/2 cream mixture; 10th layer: 1/2 grated cheese
This is one of my most favorite comfort foods and I would never say no to a piece of moussaka. I could turn down an ice cream during a hot summer day, or a chocolate cake on any other day, but I would not say no to a moussaka on a cold day, when all I need and want is something warm and rich in flavors.
And boy, all those layers of potatoes, meat and cream and cheese, they are really full of flavors, I'll tell you that!
There's also a version of this dish using eggplants, but I consider that to be the more summerish version, so during autumn and winter I always make the potato moussaka. Unlike the more traditional recipes, I actually slice my potatoes very thin, but this is totally up to you, just be careful to increase the oven time, in order to fully cook through the potatoes.
I know this is a dish mostly popular in the Balkan area, but I kindly advise everyone to try this dish at least once in their life. It may not be my recipe, but please make your own moussaka. I'm sure your family will thank you for this.
Also, this is a recipe that reheats very well, so if you have leftovers you can easily serve them for lunch or dinner the next day.

Potato moussaka, the greek version
By November 26, 2012Published:
- Yield: 4 Servings
- Prep: 25 mins
- Cook: 1 hr 30 mins
- Ready In: 1 hr 55 mins
It's been a while since I posted anything here, and I'm sorry for that. It's been a tough week for me and although I've done some …
- 1,2 pounds pork minced meat (or ground beef)
- 1 pound potatoes sliced, 2-3 mm thick
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cheddar grated (or any other melting cheese you like)
- 1 onion diced
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp dill chopped
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup tomato juice
- 1/2 cup water
- Preheat your oven to 375 F/190C.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and add the onion, the garlic and after 1 minut add also the meat and stir so that it won't stick together. When the meat changes her color, add the water, bring it to a boil, then let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes. After you remove it from the heat, add the tomato juice and the spices (thyme, salt, pepper).
- Peel the potatoes and slice them, 2-3 mm thick. If you want thicker slices of potatoes, adjust the oven time accordingly.
- Mix the sour cream with the 2 eggs and the chopped dill and grate the cheese.
- In a 9 inch (22 cm) ceramic baking dish or glass dish, begin to assemble the moussaka. The first layer will be 1/3 of the meat, then cover with one layer of potatoes. Next, add another 1/3 of the meat, a layer of potatoes, half of the sour cream and half of the grated cheese; then add the remaining meat, another layer of potatoes, the remaining cream and cheese.
- Cover with a lid (if your dish has one) or with aluminum foil and place in the oven for about 90 minutes. In the last 10-15 minutes of cooking, uncover the dish so that it will get that nice golden crust. Be careful to check the potatoes to see if they are fully cooked, since the time of cooking depends on their thickness. Serve with pickles!

If only "Star Trek Into Darkness" called itself something else.

But "Into Darkness" never fully commits to its, well, darkness. Instead it favors the lighter charm of its better 2009 predecessor. And […] [Read More]

The Softer Side of Nine Inch Nails
by Raymond Cummings | September 2, 2013
The downside of building a winning brand is that, in triumph, certain expectations are set. Nine Inch Nails are a case in point. Once Trent Reznor's industrial-pop juggernaut became known for a bevy of singles heavy on caustic guitars, impudent synthesizers and full-front lyricism (think "Terrible Lie," "March of the Pigs," "Wish," "Starf*ckers, Inc.") it was difficult for the public at large to separate the group from the idea of sonic immensity. As a result, it's easy to forget that Nine Inch Nails' oeuvre is well-stocked with gentle, brooding tracks.
The spare, anguished ballad "Something I Can Never Have," from 1989's Pretty Hate Machine, was a precursor to the hushed interludes and whispers that would pepper Nine Inch Nails' studio albums and remix platters in the years to follow. The clipped, quaking "Help Me I Am in Hell" was next -- a feathery burst of blues classical that stood out like a sore thumb amidst all the scorched-earth slag on 1992's take-no-prisoners EP Broken. The syrupy, trickling Zen ooze of "A Warm Place" surfaced on 1994's The Downward Spiral; a half-decade later, The Fragile sighed with the primo seltzer soak of "The Day the World Went Away." "Right Where It Belongs," meanwhile, poignantly concluded 2005's With Teeth with a tinkling haze of static and piped-in crowd noise: a portrait of a dissatisfied artist at a crossroad.
But the low-intensity epics live outside NIN's proper studio albums: 2002's odds-and-ends collection Still is chockablock with ponderous pianos, and the quieter moments on 2008's Ghosts I-IV pulse with a distended, experimental elegance. For more, plumb the remix platters -- 1995's Further Down the Spiral holds some gems -- or belly flop into hours of the fizzy orchestral snapshots of the Social Network and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo soundtracks Reznor scored with Atticus Ross.

A detective says the shooting deaths of five family members in a quiet part of north-central Virginia are being investigated as a murder-suicide.
Detective Angela Deavers says a relative found the bodies inside the family's home just outside Culpeper by a family member on Sunday night.
Two adults, both 35, and three school-age children were found inside.
The three-bedroom house sits on about an acre of land near Culpeper. The town of about 15,000 people 70 miles southwest of Washington is known for its quaint downtown and Civil War history.
Mayor Michael Olinger calls the deaths a shock to the community. He says he didn't know the victims.
Virginia State Police are assisting with the investigation.

We have seen a tremendous increase in bike use on campus and the university is working to make the campus as friendly to bicycles as possible. Not only are bicycles a healthy alternative to a car, but they also help alleviate traffic and parking on campus.
Below are various rules for bicycle use on campus.
1. Cyclists should use extreme caution and slow down or walk their bicycles when interacting with pedestrians such as when using sidewalks to access bike racks.
2. Pedestrian crosswalks are not for bicycles. Automobiles are not required by law nor equipped with the reaction time to stop for bikes shooting across crosswalks. Bicyclists wishing to use crosswalks should walk their bike through the crosswalk as a pedestrian.
3. Bicycles using campus roadways operate with the same rules as automobiles.
4. Bicyclists are strongly encouraged to wear safety equipment (including helmets) as well as properly maintain the mechanical aspects of their bike for the safest riding experience possible.
5. Bike Rack use on campus is mandatory. We are asking all bike riders to assist the university by not locking bikes in such a way that they block sidewalks or handicap access to buildings. Furthermore, we ask bike riders to refrain from locking bikes to campus trees or foliage, light poles or other freestanding posts or railings or any other freestanding structures (except bike racks). Keep in mind we have a large population of students with disabilities who require accessible pathways and specific access to buildings and we are required by law to protect this access.
6. Bikes locked or left anywhere else besides a bike rack are subject to the lock being cut and the bike impounded by University Police. The owner is also subject to a fine as outlined in OP 91.307: Policies for Traffic and Parking Rules and Regulations for the Campus and Streets of Mississippi State University.
We thank you for partnering with us to help keep our campus safe and accessible to our students. If you have questions or comments about this email or the university bicycle policy, please stop by room 112 Lee Hall and I would be happy to discuss these issues with you.

'Issue Ads' and Common Sense
In this column, Stuart Taylor says the "Supreme Court justices seemed to be missing the point during oral arguments over curbs that the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law imposes on free speech" and suggests:
Instead of this sterile debate over how much electioneering can be slipped between the lines of an issue ad, the justices should resolve this case as suggested by Kathleen Sullivan, a distinguished professor and former dean of Stanford Law School, in a brilliantly logical friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of Wisconsin Right to Life.
"Nonprofit advocacy groups funded by individuals are readily distinguishable from for-profit corporations funded by general treasuries," Sullivan's brief explains. And "speech by nonprofit advocacy groups on behalf of their members does not 'corrupt' candidates or 'distort' the political marketplace. Instead, it is Section 203 [of McCain-Feingold] that distorts, leaving wealthy individuals and corporate media conglomerates [which the law exempts] unfettered in their pre-election broadcast advocacy, and inducing sophisticated corporations to turn to alternatives such as PACs, while thwarting speech by individuals of moderate means who have banded together in grassroots groups to express their views."
Exactly right. Sullivan's brief also shows in compelling detail how McCain-Feingold "effectively forecloses ... small, nonprofit, grassroots advocacy groups altogether from running pre-election broadcast issue ads." The safety valves touted by regulators are largely illusory. Although nonprofits that meet certain FEC criteria are exempt from regulation, those criteria are virtually impossible to meet; the "daunting legal, financial, and administrative difficulties of forming a PAC are prohibitive for most small grassroots advocacy groups"; and suing for advance judicial approval is "expensive, protracted, and uncertain."
Sullivan's brief also quotes a book that seems to support her approach: "Active liberty is particularly at risk when law restricts speech directly related to the shaping of public opinion, for example, speech that takes place in areas related to politics and policy-making by elected officials."
The book is Active Liberty. The author is Stephen Breyer.

The technique is called screen-scraping. There are tools that automate the screen caps but even that way it is an absolute pain to run hundreds of screen-caps into a single document. And it should not be necessary for a commercial product.

As the state's senior U.S. senator, Kay Bailey Hutchison has secured hundreds of millions of federal dollars for public projects across Texas.
As one of the state's top public finance attorneys, Ray Hutchison has helped issue and defend the government bonds that benefit many of the same cities and public agencies getting that federal money.
Critics on both sides of the political aisle say that's a conflict of interest, even if neither Hutchison has ever been accused of wrongdoing. Both Hutchisons say their dealings are entirely ethical and bristle at any suggestion otherwise.
But the senior senator from Texas is preparing to leave the Senate early after 16 years to challenge incumbent Gov. Rick Perry in next year's Republican primary. Her work bringing home the federal bacon and her husband's work representing Texas government agencies getting federal funds is moving into the bright lights of a potentially nasty campaign.
Perry campaign spokesman Mark Miner says the questions are valid. In his words, "The facts speak for themselves."

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 review: does this fine phablet still deliver?Authored by: Kris Carlon — 2 months ago
When it came out, the Galaxy Note 4 was, without doubt, Samsung's greatest smartphone ever. The fourth generation of the Note series, Samsung perfected the line in ways that other OEMs can only dream of. However, since that time several other flagships have appeared on the scene and impressed us - among them the Galaxy S6. Is the Note 4 still a to smartphone several months down the line, or is it already being buried by the fast-moving sands of smartphone time?
- ✓Excellent screen
- ✓Great battery
- ✓S Pen stylus and software
- ✓Better user interface
- ✓Great camera
- ✕High price
- ✕Too large for some people
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 release date and price
The Galaxy Note 4 release date was back in October 2014. Thanks to the arrival of the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy Note 4 price has dropped down to around 550 USD/450 GBP, which we think is fantastic value for what remains one of the most powerful handsets on the market.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 design and build quality
The build quality of the Note 4 is impeccable. I've been critical of Samsung's plastic fantastic material choices in the past, but the Note 4 strikes the perfect balance between metallic and plastic. The aluminum trim with flared corners we saw introduced on the Galaxy Alpha finds its true home on the Note 4, where it seems less peculiar and more suited to the larger, premium feel of the device as a whole. It's a little taller and thicker than the Galaxy Note 3, and a tiny bit heavier, but not by much.
The Note 4 in our hands had a black metallic trim with beveled silver edges, giving it a very sophisticated appearance. The home button is also given a silver lining, as is the camera lens, flash and heart-rate sensor on the back as well as the S Pen. Everything echoes everything else and the effect is impressive.
When the Galaxy Note 4 first came out, we even didn't mind its subdued faux-leather rear. However, we definitely preffered the glossy back rear of the Galaxy S6 when it finally came out. Also, the LG G4 has embarrassed the Note 4 a bit by having a beautiful real leather back, which looks and feels fantastic. So the Note 4 has dated a bit in this department.
The volumer rockers are on the left of the Note 4 and the power button on the right. Up top is an IR blaster, pinhole mic and the headphone port, which is enclosed by the metal frame. The bottom of the Note 4 features a pair of mics, a USB 2.0 charging port (no more USB 3.0 here) and the S Pen.
The back looks like the Galaxy S5, with square protruding camera lens, heart rate sensor and LED flash and the speaker grill at the bottom.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 display
Until the Galaxy S6 came along, the Galaxy Note 4 display was the best we'd seen on any smartphone. I'm not always a fan of the heavy saturation in Samsung displays, but the QHD (2,560 x 1,440 pixel) 5.7-inch AMOLED screen is sufficiently perfect to make a convert out of anyone and you can adjust screen settings to your preference as well.
It is incredibly sharp, super bright, has great contrast, rich colors, great viewing angles and a ridiculously impressive pixel density of 515 ppi. In this area, the Galaxy Note 4 isn't showing its age one bit (not that it's even that old a device, but we all know how fast time and technology progress in the smartphone world).
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 special features
The Galaxy Note 4 is all about the S Pen. The main reason to buy a Note has always been the S Pen and as a multi-tasking business tool, the Note 4 is unsurpassed. When the S Pen is removed from its slot the Air Command window is automatically launched, providing shortcuts to Action Memo, Smart Select, Image Clip and Screen Write. (The Air Command window can also be brought up by pressing the small button on the S Pen when it is close to the screen.)
Action Memo launches a small Post-It notepad which you make notations on. These notations can be linked to actions like the dialer, contacts, email, browser, maps and more. The handwriting recognition is excellent and you can pin your memo to the home screen just like a sticky note. You even get to choose which physical S Pen tip you want out of the included plastic and rubber options in the box.
Smart Select lets you drag a rectangular window around anything on-screen , then screen-grab it, save it and share it. Image Clip is a free-form clipping tool which also has options for circular, rectangular and ''magnetic lasso'' selections. If you're an avid image editor and sharer then you'll love these tools.
Screen Write lets you make notes on top of the screen you're currently looking at, by taking a screenshot of the page then opening up a doodling toolbar. You can switch between pen tips, thickness and color. The greatly improved S Pen now recognizes speed, pressure and the angle at which the stylus is touching the screen. Writing with the calligraphic tip even gives you variations on the density of the ''ink'' based on pressure and speed.
The S Pen can also be used like a PC mouse. If you hover above an on-screen element it will preview it for you (like a mouse-over on your computer). You can also highlight sections of text by pressing the button on the S Pen. A small action menu will appear so you can copy the selection, share it, search for it on the web, look up a particular word in the dictionary or find other instances of it on the page. The more you use the S Pen you more you realize how indispensable it is. Once you're used to using the stylus, using your finger again feels painfully clumsy and imprecise.
The Note 4 has other special features beyond the stylus too. The oft maligned heart-rate monitor from the Galaxy S5 makes it's perhaps less-than-triumphant return. It works, but it is still a little slow and inaccurate to be truly useful. The finger scanner embedded in the home button also returns, but it has been improved since the S5 and works more accurately than its slightly embarrassing predecessor.
The Note 4 finger scanner gives you options for security, web sign-in and to verify your Samsung or PayPal accounts. It still doesn't hold a candle to the iPhone Touch ID sensor or the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 scanner, but it's definitely an improvement on the S5, in that it's a viable option for unlocking your phone without losing your mind out of sheer frustration.
The Note 4 has a total of three microphones, which can be used in unison for noise cancellation (like removing background noise during a call) but also for cleaning up audio recordings. Each mic can pick up different sounds so you can isolate and disable the parts you don't want. It's a nice tool to have and it works reasonably well in practice.
Alongside the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy Note 4 remains the most gadget- and feature-filled phone in the world. If you're not the kind of person who's easily overwhelmed by different features and functions, then you'll appreciate the cornucopia of gadgetry onboard here.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 software
The Galaxy Note 4 was launched with Samsung's TouchWiz user interface on top of Android 4.4.4, but has since been updated to Lollipop. The Galaxy Note 4 is not without its share of Lollipop issues, but overall the TouchWiz UI (which is much faster and less bloat-filled than on the S5) works smoothly with Android's latest OS update.
The Settings menu has lost the big irregularly-colored circles and opts instead for a more subdued list or tabulated view, with a dedicated section up top for Quick Settings being the only hint of the previous interface. Sections are now color-coded consistently, which makes a lot more sense.
The notifications menu is still a little crowded but the super-flat circular icons for Quick Settings look good and the teal-and-green color scheme is pleasant enough. Interestingly, Samsung has given the Note 4 a white background in the settings menu (which is not the best choice for an AMOLED display, which benefits from darker colors) but it adds a little freshness to the interface.
The dedicated Flipboard Briefing home screen lives on the far left but it can be easily removed if you're not a fan. It can still be painfully slow to launch at times. S Health, of course, gets a central position and can be used to track your exercise, heart rate, step count and other health data. It's great if you're into that kind of thing and of course, your Samsung wearables are a great addition to the app.
The recent apps menu is a scrolling card stack that was actually on the Galaxy Note 4 since before the Lollipop update - suffice to say it's changed little since the update. A long press on the recent apps button brings up a home screen management screen for wallpaper changes, widget selection and home screen settings. Double pressing the home button brings up S Voice (which is best disabled immediately) and a long press gets you Google Now.
A long press on the back button brings up a quick access app list for floating mini apps that can be moved, resized, or collapsed to floating bubbles if you need to attend to something else. You can also turn supported full screen apps into mini apps just by swiping diagonally from the corner. You can resize the windows, but the proportions are constrained, making this feature a little less useful than it could be.
Multi Window mode lets you stack two small app windows for true multi-tasking. You can now launch Multi Window apps direct from the Recent Apps list. Just look for the Multi Window icon in the top right of the app card. Unfortunately not all apps are supported by Multi Window but your main bases are covered with Google and Samsung apps.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 performance
The Note 4 specs are excellent, but there are still some tell-tale TouchWiz delays to be noted. As always, Flipboard (and before it, My Magazine) can be painfully slow to launch, and some apps take way longer than they should considering the beastly internals of the Note 4 specs. If you can survive a bit of good old Samsung lag, then the Note 4 will not disappoint when it comes to performance in other quarters.
The quad-core Snapdragon 805 clocked at 2.7 GHz with 3 GB of RAM in our version was powerful at the time and continues to be so today, giving a similar level of performance to the hexa-core Snapdragon 808 (in the LG G4) in the AnTuTu benchmarks. There is also an octa-core Exynos 5 (5433) version of the Note 4, which is even more powerful.
In daily usage, you won't notice the Note 4 slowing down, but for resource-hungry tasks, the powerful processor and RAM really deliver. Hi-res games and other tasks that demand a lot from the processor are met with ease, although the Note 4 does have a bit of a tendency to heat up when placed under a lot of stress.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 camera
The Galaxy Note 4 camera uses optical image stabilization (OIS) in its super-fast 16 MP Sony IMX240 camera - a feature we've been waiting on for quite some time. The camera is typically brilliant. Take a look at the picture gallery to judge the results for yourself.
Macro shots and color reproduction are great. Low-light photography is not perfect, but decent, with OIS really adding to the crispness of shots. Image noise still makes itself felt sometimes, even in interior shots taken during the daytime.
The Note 4 camera has a very light preset mode selection, consisting of just Auto, Rear-cam Selfie, Selective Focus and Panorama. You can download plenty of other modes from within the camera interface, including favorites like Sports, Sound and Shot and Food Shot for the foodie loving Instagrammers out there. You can also use the volume button to take pictures, shoot video or zoom, if that's your thing, but it doesn't work as a shortcut from a screen-off state.
The Note 4 has HDR mode with real-time preview and 4K video recording. Strangely though, image stabilization is not possible when shooting in 4K or WQHD (only at Full HD or below). To shoot photos at 16 MP resolution, you need to be in an 16:9 aspect ratio. If you want 4:3 photos you'll need to drop the resolution back to 12 MP.
You've also got a timer, a range of real-time filters and other settings including voice control, tap-anywhere-to-shoot, slow motion video (down to 1/8th normal speed) and a few manual controls like exposure settings, white balance, ISO (up to 800) and metering modes. Sadly though, even opening the extended settings in the camera app is a pretty slow process.
The front-facing camera is a respectable 3.7 MP sensor with a maximum aperture of f/1.9, which will give you better low-light selfies than before. The heart-rate sensor can also be used as a camera shutter button when in Selfie Mode. Sometimes it takes a while to recognize your face though, and I even had the camera app freeze while switching between front and back facing cameras. The selfie camera is capable of Full HD video too.
Wide Selfie Mode is basically a selfie panorama and it works fine if selfies of yourself alone are not enough. It's sort of a shame the sensor is so close to the camera lens though, as you tend to smudge the lens by accident when going for the sensor. One last cool feature of the Note 4 camera is that you can drag your finger in from the top corner of the viewfinder to make it a floating mini window.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 battery
The Galaxy Note 4 battery is a 3,220 mAh offering, which may not sound like much for a device with QHD and a screen this size. However, we've now seen with devices like the Nexus 6, LG G4 and Galaxy S6 that this isn't QHD isn't the battery drain we all feared it would be. Samsung's LucidLogix technology does wonders with the battery - on full display brightness and with no power saving mode enabled, I breezed through nine hours of screen-on time.
The Note 4 also features the Ultra Power Saving Mode we saw introduced on the Galaxy S5, and it is just as impressive. You'll be switched to a simplified grayscale interface with access to limited apps, such as web browsing and texting.
You'll lose Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity as well as mobile data when the display is off, but Ultra Power Saving Mode will get you over a week of battery life if you're desperate. You won't have too much fun with your phone in this state, of course, but it's still an impressive feature that set a precedent for similar modes in subsequent flagship phones.
The Note 4 also has a regular power-saving mode which limits background data, disables haptic feedback and limits CPU and display performance. These settings are all optional so you can pick and choose the ones you want. Rounding off the features is a quick-charge function that will get you 50% battery life in just half an hour using the supplied charger.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 technical specifications
Final verdict
With the Galaxy Note 4, Samsung got back to winning ways last year, and has since kept up the momentum with the Galaxy S6. Everything was streamlined in the Note 4, in terms of design, specs, interface and even bloat and gimmicks. Even today, the specs are rock solid, and the S Pen remains the biggest selling point
The design perhaps doesn't ooze premium-ness in light of phones that have come since then, but let's remember that the Note 4 is now a little cheaper than other flagships. The Galaxy Note 4 is a big, sensible phone almost bereft of gimmicks, bloat, or useless features or settings. Almost everything on the Note 4 is essential, and almost everything is done extremely well, leaving nothing but distilled Android excellence that continues to shine.

I've been made to wait over 8 days by your customer service to get back to me about my faulty brand new note 4... i have been provided with a standby phone that does not work properly... Am sitting here helplessly not knowing how to go about getting their legal team's information and for some reason their head office is refraining from providing me with this information. #samsung #samsungfail #note4 #badcustomerservice #feelinghelpless

I agree with Andrew , it is also terrible on the Note 2. Another thing not mentioned is the sound quality. I tend to chill out watching rock videos on YouTube so before I upgrade I am keen to compare the Nexus 6 with the Note 4 - to see if the stereo speakers are just a gimick. Also, I have seen a review of the the same photo taken with: Note 4, iPhone 6 and Nexus 6 an put it his way, the Nexus wasn't in the top 2!

Something rarely noted in reviews... When used outdoors in bright sunlight, I hate to say it, but the screen is a complete failure. Can't see to take photos, can't read the screen etc. Who decided to use smoky gorilla glass? My old iPhone is MUCH better in sunlight and the gorilla glass is clear. Having said that I much prefer the Note 4 and Android to iOS based devices, I even find my old iPad to be annoyingly too simple now.

Still waiting to pick up my own Note. The official sale of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will start from Oct 29 in Pakistan. I have already booked my Note with Telenor Pakistan. Let me see how excellent is the Note 4. Your article has given me a hope that i have taken the right decision to opt for Note 4 instead of Nexus 6!

I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to get my hands on a Nexus 6 though.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is without one of the best in the market today. Many have wished to own this thing because they assumed it has all which can be true.

I wonder why Samsung is now reporting massive drops in both their earnings and revenue when they are creating some spec worthy phablets and smartphones? Are they the canary in the android coal mine for the other OEM's in regards to owning the easily commoditized hardware stack? What OEM can create an Apple Pay competitor without Google? None of them have the leverage nor vision individually and this has me worried, as Google controls the pace of innovation on both the software and services stacks.

I think the issue is not just a few fizzers recently (even though the S5 and S4 both sold well) but the rise of better competition. Previously Sammy had it pretty easy but now you've got the upsurge of Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi, OnePlus and Oppo as well as giants like Lenovo and Huawei. Plus LG and Motorola are gaining serious speed and the Z3 and One (M8) are awesome phones from Sony and HTC. So I think there's a lot of factors at work and if Samsung got a bit lazy (as it seems they did) at the wrong time, they're now paying the price. This just means renewed efforts which benefit us all.
ljhaye Link to comment
I understand those dynamics but can these OEM's turn a profit at Samsung's expense? So far they either lose money or break even only Samsung makes money. This fact has disturbed me over the past several years as innovation costs money and they (except samsung) simply don't make any. I made my comment because those OEM's you mentioned earlier have always made nice hardware but nobody was buying them. Xiaomi (Shenzhen android ecosystem) and Samsung (google play android) ape apple the most and have the most impressive sales/revenue.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the biggest player in the tech world due to its amazingly designed software and hardware. The Note 4 is drool worthy and easy to carry like your true companion.

I had a chance to handle the Note 4 and Edge a few days ago at a Bestbuy event. I will say that it is without a doubt the nicest device that Samsung has ever produced. I was very surprised and a lot of people who own the N3 will be very surprised as well. It is a different phone in the hand. I will upgrade without a doubt. You will be blown away when you see it! Best device of 2014 bar none.
Nancy Trant Link to comment
Sounds like a great device!
the only thing that drives me nuts about all the new Samsung phones is they keep designing them so the camera lens protrudes from the back of the phone making it very easy to scratch it unless you add a somewhat thick case. If they just made the device a little thicker, that problem would be solved!

I don't think the competition is so behind.
I own a G Pro 2, and I'm quite satisfied. I can't fill the 3GB RAM either. The Snapdragon 800 functions quite well, and the IPS screen is a relief after my Note 2 (the pink elixir in Clash of Clans doesn't burn my eyes now)
And it has OIS too with 4K, and FullHD@60Hz

Another let down. Now I'm glad I didn't wait for the 4 and bought the Note 3. Definitely nothing here to make me drop another 600+ and of course the size is "slightly" different than the 3 so one would have to buy new cases. I love my Note 3... Pass.

Same here. The screen on my Note 3 is great. I read a lot on it and I am addicted to ebooks. The text is laser sharp and I am not sure that a QHD screen will look all that better.
The performance on the Note 3 is more than good enough for all my needs. I don't really play games. For me, it is mainly a business phone for taking notes and organizing projects.
I am not interested in the biometric scanners or upgraded camera.
So what does that leave? New S Pen functionality. That is about the only thing that intrigues me about the Note 4.
I think I will stick with the Note 3 until next September when perhaps the Note 5 will be a bigger leap in features and functionality.

I noticed the absence of the USB3 extra socket but I wonder if this means that they have got USB3 and fast charge working through a standard socke - if they have well done but if not shame for dropping this.
What I don't see here is anything that makes me want to upgrade from my note 3 and this could be their undoing on this model. Those on contracts may upgrade "because they can" but there is not much for those of us who buy our phones. The HD quality is already better than I can actuall see (if you get my meaning).
What I do have are concerns that they may have introduced the Samsung trickery that prevents the use of third party products with the phone - it was widely reported about a year ago but never occurred on the note 3 but is it coming with the note 4?

Attitudes Drive Everything: With providers and women fearful of birth and operating in an evidence vacuum, the results are not wonderful
Research by our UBC affiliated Child and Family Research Institute has revealed that the increase in Caesarean section rates across Canada may be largely due to the attitudes and beliefs of the obstetricians and other providers towards birth technology and Caesarean sections. 81 per cent of obstetricians 40 years or younger were women versus 40 per cent over 40 years of age. The attitudes and beliefs vary by age of practitioner. In contrast to their older counterparts, younger obstetricians were significantly more likely to favour a hospital based medically managed birth and the routine use of epidural analgesia in normal births. They were less likely to support vaginal birth after Caesarean section or to appreciate the importance of mothers' role in their own birth. They also appeared to be more "fearful" of the consequences of vaginal birth, particularly in relation to urinary incontinence and sexual problems and more likely to select Caesarean section for their own births. Older obstetricians, the majority of which are male, were more supportive of a woman-centered model of care, more positive about birth plans, and were more likely to see vaginal birth as more empowering to the mother than Caesarean section. (1) The finding that younger obstetricians, who are mostly women, appeared to have less appreciation of the role of a woman in her own birth than older usually male obstetricians is counterintuitive and requires further study. These attitudes appear related to experiences in training rather than to gender, as younger male obstetricians have attitudes similar to their female counterparts. Without addressing the educational system, attitudes will be difficult to change.
Another study by our group (2) found that clients of midwives, were more supportive of women's roles in their own deliveries and less likely to support the use of technology, compared to physicians' patients. It should be noted that regardless of the type of care provider, many women reported inadequate knowledge of common procedures. Women's lack of knowledge about procedures such as epidural analgesia, Caesarean section and episiotomy, raise concerns about prenatal education and prenatal care. Attendance at prenatal education classes is decreasing in all regions of Canada and most pregnant women indicated they use health care providers, books and the internet as their main sources of prenatal information. (2) When combined with evidence on the nature of obstetrical power and control, and research showing that many providers are not evidence-based in their views, (3) this suggests that even a woman with strong values and beliefs could find it challenging to assert her choices in the professionally controlled process of birth. Women, especially first time mothers, who do not have evidence-based knowledge, are likely to be particularly sensitive to negative attitudes toward birth procedures and processes, from providers and other sources.
A third study from our group found that family doctors who do not provide intrapartum care have more negative attitudes toward birth and are less evidence-based about what is going on in the delivery suite. (4) Since this group provides more than 50% of the antenatal care in Canada, efforts to keep them up to date need to be implemented, lest they transmit their negative attitudes to women before transfer for birth care to other providers.
Finally as Caesarean section rates are steeply rising, with BC having the highest rates in Canada, and for the first time, maternal mortality and morbidity rates are increasing in the US and Canada due to overuse of Caesarean sections, (2)it is time for the public to realize that Caesarean section, while life-saving when needed, is not as safe a vaginal birth (5-7), and it is not just another way to have a baby.
And lest you think that this is a Canadian problem, the educational and training systems for medical students and obstetrical and family practice residents is the same both sides of the border. Educational, rather than health care models, trumps evidence. We are teaching directly and indirectly that childbirth is just an opportunity for things to go wrong. Medical students, obstetrical and family practice residents rarely see normal birth, and they are not exposed to midwives in hospital or at home births. It is going to take a revolution driven by women to change this, as practitioners are not going to change very soon. To the barricades!

By DERRIK J. LANG
(AP) LOS ANGELES - There's a reason Kelly Clarkson has performed duets with country superstars like Reba McEntire, Jason Aldean and Vince Gill but never one of her Top 40 colleagues in the 10 years since she became the first "American Idol". They've turned her down _ eight times.
"I have, like, 5,000 duets in country music," Clarkson says, flashing a smile. "I don't have one in pop. That's legitimately because everyone turns me down. I'm not even kidding. I've asked sooo many artists to sing with me. Everyone legitimately turns me down! The only one that hasn't was Chris Daughtry."
The sugary sweet pop star who's called Nashville, Tenn., home for the past six years isn't naming names (and much to the dismay of fans, her collaborations with fellow "Idol" alum Daughtry were never released.) While she hasn't exactly been able to hook up with the perfect pop ally, Clarkson has found a partner outside the recording studio.
When asked what's impacted her life most over the past 10 years, other than winning the "Idol" prize, Clarkson doesn't hesitate to say it's falling in love with current boyfriend Brandon Blackstock, a Nashville-based talent manager whose father is Clarkson's own manager and stepmother is McEntire. The pair has been an item for the past eight months.
"I completely fell in love," she says. "Welcome to Cheeseville! I did. I don't know. Your priorities kind of shift and you become happier, and all that stuff. It's probably my best accomplishment because I think, for me, especially, I just didn't think it would happen. It's like one of those cheesy love songs that didn't exist, but it does, so that's cool."
Clarkson says she and Blackstock never go two weeks without seeing each other. Though he's changed her life, she doesn't expect her lovey-dovey relationship status to end her fondness for man-hating tracks like "Miss Independent" and "Mr. Know It All." She points to thumping new tune "People Like Us" from her upcoming "Greatest Hits _ Chapter One," out Monday.
"He's totally gonna piss me off at some point, right?" Clarkson said. "I'll write about it."
Clarkson was originally apprehensive about releasing a "Greatest Hits" album. She's only 30, after all. Her label convinced her that it would be a celebration of her music career since winning the first season of "Idol" in 2002. And she could record some new tunes, including "Don't Rush," her soulful throwback country duet with Gill.
Another duet, her "Don't You Wanna Stay" collaboration with Aldean, helped her score a nomination for female vocalist of the year at the Country Music Association Awards. Obvious fan interest combined with her affinity for the music has led to speculation she might one day release a country album.
Despite the camaraderie she feels from the Nashville music scene, she isn't fully committed to making a leap from pop diva to country star. Though she isn't ruling out goin' country from time to time.
"I'm not ever gonna be one thing," she says. "I want great music. I don't care what it is. I'm not gonna record a country song just to be on country radio. I want it to be something I'd legitimately have on my album, if I'm having a pop, R&B, whatever album. I guess it's hard for people to wrap their heads around. I don't want to be pigeonholed."
