Chaplain Emil J. Kapaun, while assigned to Headquarters Company, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism, patriotism, and selfless service between Nov. 1, 1950, and May 23, 1951. During the Battle of Unsan, Kapaun was attached to the 3rd Battalion of the 8th Cavalry Regiment. As Chinese Communist forces encircled the battalion, Kapaun moved fearlessly from foxhole to foxhole under direct enemy fire in order to provide comfort and reassurance to the outnumbered Soldiers. He repeatedly crawled to wounded men and either dragged them back to the safety of the American lines, or dug shallow trenches to shield them from enemy fire. As Chinese forces closed in, Kapaun rejected several chances to escape, instead volunteering to stay behind and care for the wounded.
When Kapaun began to suffer from the physical toll of his captivity, the Chinese transferred him to a filthy, unheated hospital where he died alone. As he was being carried to the hospital, he asked God's forgiveness for his captors, and made his fellow prisoners promise to keep their faith.
Chaplain Emil J. Kapaun repeatedly risked his own life to save the lives of hundreds of fellow Americans. His extraordinary courage, faith and leadership inspired thousands of prisoners to survive hellish conditions, resist enemy indoctrination, and retain their faith in God and country. His actions reflect the utmost credit upon him, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the United States Army.

Eating England: Book review
July 26 | Comments (0)
If ever there was a book to remind the English that their local food choices go far beyond the chippy, this would be it. "Eating England: Why We Eat What We Eat with Over 500 Special Places to Eat and Shop" is a journey through the culinary gems that make up the English countryside and a great guide to local producers.
You get a sense of the enjoyment that the author has for english produce and the people that make it. For someone like me who has the travel bug, it makes me want to go out and discover all of the little places that she describes. The book reminds me of Rick Stein's food heroes without the recipes. My only complaint would be that there aren't enough pictures of the local products. Reading about them was making me hungry... seeing a picture would have put me on the train.

Once again the paper's liberal bias comes shining through, and so obvious, talking out of both sides of your collective mouths. First thing, if I'm not mistaken when the previous administration was in power the Democrats were blaming it for high gas prices, remember?
Now they attribute the rise in oil production in the U.S. to the present administration, which has not been in office long enough to take credit for this, because it takes five to seven years for exploration and drilling for a new well to get oil into the system.
Can you try and clarify this because you have me confounded on your thought process.

Kitchen Countertop Installations
Updating kitchen countertops can dramatically change the look of the cook space. And the material and color choices are broad, including concrete, glass, chopping block, tile, stainless steel, natural stones and eco-materials. Although most countertops are large and heavy, some are easier than others to cut, fit and edge out. This replacement project, depending on the countertop material, may be a DIY project, but is usually one that calls for a professional. However, with the right tools and information, the job can be accomplished in no time.
Steps to Kitchen Counter Bliss
#1 - Create a template of the existing countertop. Precision is the name of the game here, so measure twice, or even three times, so you or a professional only have to cut once.
#2 - Remove old countertops. This generally involves three tools.
You'll need one of each:
- Screwdriver
- Wrench
- Razor knife
Unscrew the countertops from cabinet bases. Disconnect existing plumbing from the sink and dishwasher. Break the caulk seal around the backsplash. Recycle materials if possible.
#3 - Level cabinet bases for an easier and neater installation.
#4 - Install new countertops, including aligning and sealing seams and backsplashes. Secure tops to cabinets.
#5 - Reconnect plumbing to sink and dishwasher.
Voila…new countertops! And since the surfaces make more of an impression than they get credit for at times, you may feel you have a brand new kitchen as well.

INNOVATIONS Packaging Innovations from across the Globe
Metallised Biodegradable Film for Home Composting
Innovia Films
Contact Person :
Patricia Potts
+ 44 16973 4156
+ 44 16973 4145
NatureFlex™ NM is a unique cellulose-based film, manufactured from renewable wood pulp and metallised in-house. It is the only metallised biodegradable film suitable for home composting because the level of metal is so small – less than 0.02% - which slows the film's degradation by a matter of days but does not interfere with its biodegradability in any other way. Modified coatings ensure excellent metal lay-down and adhesion providing a very high moisture barrier with a transmission rate of less than 10 g/m²/day (30degC, 90% RH).
All NatureFlex™ films are certified to meet both the European EN13432 and American ASTM D6400 standards for compostable packaging. The wood-pulp is sourced from managed plantations from referenced suppliers operating Good Forestry principals (FSC or equivalent). NatureFlex™ films typically have a renewable biobased content of some 95% by weight of material. They also offer natural and organic product manufacturers the ability to align their packaging message with the spirit of their product marketing.

How much disposable income should I invest in security stuff to protect my aircraft?
This question is probably one of the most sensitive that I get because flying is not cheap. Even if we have the best of situations, there are still annual inspections and scheduled maintenance, repair of things that break from normal wear and tear, state and local taxes, hangar or tie down fees, GPS database subscriptions, not to mention the fuel and oil. "So with all of these expenses just to be able to go enjoy my $100 hamburger, now I'm supposed to buy security, too?"
I hear you.

Rangers beat writer Evan Grant answered questions in a chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights.
Question: Look into your crystal ball and tell us if you can envision this scenario: During 2015 spring training, Jurickson Profar gets time at short and is outstanding. With Odor continuing his upward trend at second, do the Rangers try and trade the disappointing Elvis Andrus before the season starts?
Evan Grant: Trading Elvis Andrus now or even next spring would be trading him when his value is lowest and the financial commitment is high. You'd have to take back salary to move him. It doesn't make sense. Rangers may have painted themselves into a corner here to some extent, but they still have value to deal in a healthy Profar. And, again, let's remember Andrus is 25. If he has two subpar years at 24-25, there is still room for real growth. I've compared the guy to Edgar Renteria throughout his career. With this caveat, I think he'll run better longer than Renteria did and I don't think he'll ever get to the power that Renteria developed. But I'll take that - if this is a plateau and not the start of a decline.
Question: I'm beginning to wonder if Elvis' attention begins to wander when there's less on the line - like this entire season. He just doesn't appear to play like he's fully-engaged, compared to seasons past (primarily '10 and '11).
Evan Grant: I think the last two nights, if Elvis' attention wandered, it was because of deep counts by the starting pitchers batter after batter after batter. I think more likely what happened the last two nights is Elvis tried harder to make plays than he should have or needed to to make up for the pitcher's issues. Part of growing up is realizing what you can do and not trying to do more. I think that is Elvis' biggest issue right now. With no Hamilton, Young, Kinlser, etc., he is thrust into being a core piece of the team and he's trying to play like it. He needs to simply let it happen.
Question: Hi, seeing as how Martin Perez might not make it back until the 2nd-half of next year, do see you us adding a TORP or at least an innings-eating #3-type SP in the offseason?
Evan Grant: The Rangers will need a pitcher in my mind. Right now, you have Darvish, Holland, Martinez and Tepesch. No guarantee that Martinez or Tepesch will prove themselves. Miles Mikolas has a shot to also move into the mix, but since he's not yet made a major league start, it's a long shot. Matt Harrison is a long-shot to return. Colby Lewis may be reaching the end of the line or may start to really get a feel for his stuff. But I think the Rangers have to find a starter for next year that they can pair with Darvish at the top of the rotation and let the other things sort out.

MULE CREEK (Maverick County). Mule Creek rises 1½ miles south of U.S. Highway 277 and fourteen miles southeast of Eagle Pass in central Maverick County (at 28°38' N, 100°17' W) and flows a total of eight miles, first northwest, then southwest, before emptying into Saus Creek seven miles north of El Indio in west central Maverick County (at 28°37' N, 100°20' W). The stream flows through low rolling hills and prairie. Chaparral, mesquite, and various grasses grow in the area's clayey soil.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. This study sought to further understanding of the beliefs of child custody evaluators and related professionals regarding allegations of domestic abuse made by parents during the divorce process. Researchers administered a survey of beliefs, practices, background, and training experiences to custody evaluators. For comparison purposes, judges, legal aid attorneys, private attorneys, and domestic violence program workers were also surveyed. Additionally, researchers used in-depth qualitative interviews of domestic abuse survivors to help interpret quantitative findings, to understand the complexities of their experiences, and to generate hypotheses for future research. The study had two major parts. Part 1 (Custody Evaluator Beliefs Dataset) was a survey of professionals, who had experience with custody cases (child custody evaluators, judges, attorneys, and domestic violence program workers). The dataset includes 1,246 cases and 162 variables. Part 2 (Qualitative Transcripts of Survivors' Interviews) involved qualitative, semi-structured interviews with domestic abuse survivors who experienced negative outcomes in family court. Part 2 contains interviews with 24 with domestic abuse survivors.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. This project examined civil protective orders in Kentucky from multiple perspectives in order to examine rural and urban jurisdictional differences in the protective order process, protective order outcomes, and costs of protective orders, as well as potential avoided costs to society due to the protections that protective orders are supposed to provide. Although partner violence can be perpetrated by both men and women, the vast majority of serious partner violence and protective order use is for cases of male violence against female partners. Thus, this project focused on women victims of partner violence. The study was comprised of three substudies. The first substudy examined rural and urban key informant perceptions along with court records and other secondary data to provide an in-depth picture of jurisdictional differences in the protective order process. The second substudy provided a picture of women's self-reported experiences with violence and the protective order system and its outcomes. This substudy not only provided a description of those who obtain protective orders, but also provided a detailed look at the process of obtaining a protective order as well as the sacrifices and barriers that women experience in obtaining protective orders and trying to get them enforced. This substudy also provided detailed information about protective order effectiveness and enforcement outcomes. The third substudy examined the social and personal costs of abuse and violence, the costs of protective orders, and the potential avoided costs due to the protection protective orders provide. These costs were provided for the sample of women interviewed and were also extrapolated from the sample to the population of victims who obtained protective orders issued in 2007 in Kentucky in order to expand the policy implications of the findings from this substudy. The data file for Part 1 (Key Informant - Substudy 1) contains 188 cases and 502 variables. The data file for Part 2 (Interview data - Substudies 2 and 3) contains 213 cases and 14,644 variables.

White , University of North Carolina-Greensboro , John A. Humphrey 2015-09-11 Ann Arbor, Mich. Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research [distributor] 2002 ICPSR 3212 Numeric Title from ICPSR DDI metadata of 2015-11-30. AVAILABLE. This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The purpose of this study was to investigate longitudinally the developmental antecedents of physical and sexual violence against young women, using a theoretically based multicausal model that included characteristics related to the victim, the perpetrator, and the environment. The researchers used a classic longitudinal design, replicated over two cohorts (those born in 1972 and 1973), each assessed first when 18 years old, and again when 19, 20, 21, and 22 years old. The first survey (Part 1, Female Data) collected information on the respondent's experiences of sexual assault from age 14 to the present (age 18). Other questions focused on the kind of person the respondent thought she was, how much of an influence religion had on the way she chose to spend each day, her dating behavior during high school, the number of times the respondent had used behavior such as discussing issues relatively calmly, arguing, sulking, stomping out of the room, or threatening to hit, with a romantic partner during high school, and how frequently romantic partners used these types of behavior with the respondent. Other items elicited information on the number of women the respondent knew who had been sexually victimized, whether men forced them to engage in sexual activities, the nature of the respondent's sexual experience from the time she was 14 to the present, the respondent's age when each experience occurred, if the respondent or the other person was using drugs or alcohol when it happened, if the respondent was injured, and whom the respondent told about the experience. Information was collected on sexual abuse prior to the age of 14 as well. The respondent was also asked to describe how often her parents or stepparents had administered physical blows (i.e., hitting, kicking, throwing someone down), whether someone had fondled her in a sexual way, whether a male had attempted intercourse with the respondent, the relationship between the respondent and the perpetrator, the respondent's age when the experience occurred, who the other person was, who initiated the date or paid for the food, drinks, or tickets, whether the respondent or the other person was using drugs or alcohol, the respondent's opinions about men and women in America (i.e., if the respondent agreed or disagreed that chivalrous gestures toward women on the part of men should be encouraged), whether the respondent had engaged in sexual intercourse when she did not want to because a male threatened or used some degree of physical force (twisting her arm, holding her down, etc.), and the respondent's drug and alcohol use. The subsequent surveys contained measures of sexual assault during each year of college (i.e., since the previous survey). Questions asked in subsequent surveys were similar to those in the first survey, and the responses are all included in Part 1. Questions posed to males (Part 2, Male Data) included the number of women the respondent had sexual intercourse with, how often the respondent heard talk that speculated how a particular woman would be in bed, reasons the respondent engaged in sexual activity, number of times the respondent engaged in sexual intercourse when a woman didn't want to, and questions similar to those in Part 1 with the respondent as the perpetrator. Demographic information in Part 1 and Part 2 describes the female or the male respondent's education, race, religious preference, sexual orientation, and marital or relationship status.

Can the Maker Movement Infiltrate Mainstream Classrooms? | MindShift
At the White House Maker Faire recently, where President Obama invited "makers" of all ages to display their creations, the President investigated a robotic giraffe, a red weather balloon and shot a marshmallow cannon made by a student. With so much fanfare and media attention on the event, some educators are hopeful that the idea of tinkering as a way of learning might finally have made it back to the mainstream. But will the same philosophy of discovery and hands-on learning make it into classrooms?"Most of the people that I know who got into science and technology benefited from a set of informal experiences before they had much formal training," said Dale Dougherty, editor of Make Magazine and founder of Maker Faire on KQED's Forum program. "And I mean, like building rockets in the backyard, tinkering, playing with things. And that created the interest and motivation to pursue science.

In general, project directors (unspecified type/general) are responsible for the overall success of a project. They guide the activities of various project members, coordinating the different parts of the project toward a unified goal. Project directors must accomplish this task within the constraints of budget, time, and personnel limitations.Read More...
Before a project starts, the project director reviews the desired outcome of the project and strategically plans how to achieve the goal with available resources. The director breaks the project into phases, planning the staffing and funding for each. As the project progresses, the director monitors the ongoing success and adjusts planning accordingly.
Project directors must possess several key qualities. Leadership is an important aspect of the role, including navigating project team members through changes and guiding the group toward goals. As part of this, project directors must have excellent teamwork skills. Project directors solicit group members for input and incorporate suggestions to better meet the project's goals. Project directors must also be able to effectively work with clients, representing the entire group (or company) and acting as a spokesperson. This requires excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
For the most part, project directors work full time in an office environment. Educational and experiential requirements differ depending on the project manager's field. For example, in manufacturing, most project directors have a bachelor's degree in engineering along with related work experience that includes management and finance. In other fields, project directors often have business or management degrees, along with experience working in the field.

For Project Directors, progressing to a VP of Operations role may result in a significant raise. On average, a VP of Operations can earn $123K annually. A lot of Project Directors advance their careers by becoming Non-Profit Executive Directors and Operations Directors. However, those positions offer $32K less and $7K less per year on average.
Project Directors report using a wide range of professional skills. Most notably, facility with Microsoft Project and Process Improvement are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 39 percent and 19 percent, respectively. Skills that pay less than market rate include Windows Operating System General Use and Microsoft Excel. For most people, competency in Microsoft Office indicates knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Project Directors with a rich background of experience are typically rewarded with larger paychecks. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $51K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $78K. Experienced professionals — those with 10 to 20 years in the field — see salaries in the six-figure territory, securing around $109K on average. Folks who have racked up more than 20 years in the field report incomes that aren't that much higher than less experienced individuals' earnings; the veterans make just $126K on average.

"Hot Summer Night" at Penn Can
Headed up to Penn Can Speedway on Tuesday night for the track's annual "Hot Summer Night" special that featured a 60-lap Race of Champions (RoC) Dart Dirt Modifed Series race as well a 25-lap Crate Sportsman and a 25-lap Late Model race.
After a slow start that saw six cautions in the first five laps, the Mod race had an exciting finish. Alan Rudalavage, who started on the pole and led the first 59 laps, was trying to hold off Duane Howard and Stewart Friesen on the final lap. The three cars went into turn two. Howard tried to pass Rudalavage on the inside. When Rudalavage moved down to block, Friesen went high and drove past both cars. He then beat Rudalavage to the checkered flag for the victory.
Tracy Gregory won the Late Model feature and Donnie Lawson captured the Sportsman race.

U.S. Rep. John Conyers' on-again, off-again roller coaster ride for the Aug. 5 ballot took a new twist Friday when U.S. District Judge Matthew Leitman put him back on the ballot.
His decision, released late Friday, contradicts the Secretary of State's review of Conyers petitions, which found earlier in the day that Conyers had less than half the required signatures of valid registered voters on the petitions he turned in to qualify for the Aug. 5 primary ballot.
But Leitman said the requirement that petition circulators be registered voters - the issue that got Conyers booted off the ballot ...

Here is a project I wrote last semester for a client/server systems class. Basically the professor assigned us a table from the Northwind Database. Our first assignment was to take that table, export it to a text file, then create a program to parse that text file and create a random access binary file. We were then to create a GUI that will read, write, and modify records from that binary file. I decided to write my project assignments in Python since that is my programming language of choice.
We spent half the semester working on this part of the project instead of learning anything related to client/server systems. Creating the GUI was extremely easy using Qt3 Designer and pyuic, so most of my work went into the reading and writing of the binary file.
Finally about 3/4 of the way though the semester we were assigned to modify our program to read, write, and modify the binary file over the network. The server contained the binary file, and the client connected to the server to get information from the binary file. This part of the program was actually fun to implement.
Our very last assignment was to merge our client and server with another students. I partnered with Eric Gaumer since he was also working in python. The following code is the result of our work. We took my GUI added the features his client needed and then added his server code to mine.
Simply start the server, then when you start the client enter the ip address where the server is located.
Note: PyQT and PyKDE are required to run this code.

Seems like this issue will|
Seems like this issue will still run for long time. - Dr. Hicham Riba
AM 730 KWOA serves the AM radio listener area in Southwest Minnesota and Northwest Iowa with area news, sports and weather.
WORTHINGTON – The Nobles County Commissioners on Tuesday unanimously opposed a motion that had been tabled from their last meeting limiting the Lao Buddhist Temple to four 3.2 beer permits per year. The motion was tabled two weeks ago after it was decided more information should be gathered as to why the county planning and zoning committee had limited the temple to three permits per year in 2008, and how many 3.2 beer permits a year could be given out to one entity.
Commissioner Robert Demuth said he sat in on the decision in 2008, and that three was an arbitrary number, with nothing magical about it. He said he would like to see the matter go back to planning and zoning to see if the number can be raised. Other than a few complaints about dust, there have been no issues reported when major fundraising events take place at the temple, Commissioner Gene Metz reported.
A representative from the temple said he only has the events as fundraisers to keep building, and that people come from all over southwest Minnesota and other states to visit the temple.
In other county business, the commissioners accepted a bid from Henning Construction for approximately $1.5 million for the replacement of three bridges in Nobles County. Public Works Director Steven Schnieder said work would begin on the Seward Township bridge south of Fulda, then progress to the County State Aid Highway 1 bridge north of Brewster. The third replaced will be the County State Aid Highway 17 bridge south of Adrian.
Schnieder was hopeful that the concrete forms needed for the CSAH 1 bridge could be built quickly, but construction has to wait until after September 1 because of nesting swallows.
The commissioners also approved a contract with Avera Medical Group Worthington for a satellite site for the WIC clinic that had previously been located at the West Learning Center. Because of a space shortage at the center, a contract was worked out with Avera for $100 per month, which is included in the WIC funding formula. The hope is to have the satellite office up and running by August 20.
A contract for legal services with Kayla Johnson was also approved. Because the Nobles County Attorneys office is currently short-staffed and anticipates staffing changes at year's end, Johnson will assist with several cases that should be concluded by the end of the year. Nobles County Attorney Kathy Kusz said she expects to work out an agreement with Johnson and her brother Travis Smith in a joint law firm after he likely takes the position as Murray County Attorney in 2015.
Changes in the Nobles Home Initiative were approved that will allow the county to make tax abatement reimbursements once a year, instead of the initially planned twice a year. There was a conflict with when tax payments were due and the turn-around on getting the second payment out. According to Worthington Regional Economic Development Corporation Director Abraham Algadi, details for the Initiative are still being fine-tuned, but the program has been very successful thus far.
Those who have taken advantage of the 5-year 100 percent tax abatement program will still be required to pay the taxes when the home is built, but will be reimbursed the money once a year for 5 years.

MERIDEN, Iowa — One person is dead after an accident on Monday near Meriden.
The Iowa State Patrol reports that about 11:55 p.m., a driver was westbound on Highway 3, about a mile east of Meriden in a 1996 Plymouth. Twenty-one-year-old Joseph Meyer of Rock Valley was eastbound on 3 in a 2007 Peterbilt semi, loaded with a load of hogs. It was owned by Double M Trucking of Hull.
The trooper says that for an unknown reason, the Plymouth crossed the center line and entered the path of the semi driven by Meyer. Both vehicles entered the north ditch following the collision. The driver of the Plymouth was pronounced dead at the scene.
The name of the driver of the Plymouth is being withheld at this time pending notification of relatives.
Meyer did not appear to be hurt as he was not transported to a medical facility, according to the trooper's report.
MINNESOTA - In honor and remembrance of Police Officer Scott Patrick, Governor Mark Dayton has ordered all United States flags and Minnesota flags be flown at half-staff at all state and federal buildings in the State of Minnesota, from sunrise until sunset, today.
Officer Patrick was 47 years old, a 19-year veteran of the Mendota Heights Police Department and the department's senior officer.
Officer Patrick died on Wednesday, July 30, 2014, after being shot in the line of duty. At the direction of the Governor, Minnesota flies its flags at half-staff following the death of Minnesota police officers killed in the line of duty, on the day of interment.
NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. - State archeologists are investigating some human remains that were found buried along Interstate 29 in Union County.
The South Dakota Attorney General's office says the remains were unearthed by a utility company crew digging in the right of way near Exit 2.
Spokeswoman Sara Rabern on Tuesday said the scene discovered Thursday appeared to be an "old, old grave."
Rabern says the Division of Criminal Investigation secured the area over the weekend, and investigators did not deem the remains to be evidence of a crime.
The scene has been turned over to the South Dakota State Historical Society.
MINNESOTA - Brooklyn Center police are asking for the public's help in locating a 17-year-old girl and her 9-month-old daughter, who are believed to be in danger.
Police say Shatearra Nash, 17, took her daughter Maggie Nash from a foster home. The baby has a medical condition that requires regular doses of medication, police say, and without it she could have a seizure.
The two are believed to be traveling with Shandrel Nash, 38, who is Shatearra's father, and that he "poses a risk to their safety." Police say he has been charged in connection with a felony assault on Shatearra, and an arrest warrant has been issued.
The teenager and her baby are both wards of the state, according to Brooklyn Center Police Cmdr. Brian Peters. Police say the three may be heading to Georgia or Florida, and might be hitchhiking because they don't have a vehicle.
Authorities are asking the public to watch for them at discount hotels. They may also use business phones at gas stations and other locations open to public use, KSTP reports. Police say they may also seek medical care for Maggie.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Hennepin County sheriff's office at 763-525-6215, or call 911.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Hands-on
Nexus smartphones have always been lookers. At least when compared to the rest of the Android crop, Nexus-branded devices have been standing out of the crowd with their more refined and considered design. The same goes for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, although to a smaller degree. The Galaxy Nexus is certainly appealing with its perfectly clean front (after all, the device doesn't even have capacitive navigational buttons), and it also retains the unique curved glass shape from the Nexus S, but we're afraid that this is all there is to it. Not that it's bad – actually, the Galaxy Nexus is a great-looking handset, but it just won't blow you away.
One of our biggest gripes with the design of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is with regards to the materials used. Being a typical Samsung slate, the Galaxy Nexus is all-plastic, with a neutral color tone to it. The back side of the handset uses the so-called hyper-skin finish, which definitely feels nice and provides for a good grip, but in the end, it's still just plastic – nothing out of the ordinary. If you want a premium build quality featuring some fancy materials, this isn't the Android handset for you (the Motorola DROID RAZR would be what you need).
The screen is a main selling point for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The handset features a very crisp 4.65" HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels (if you're wondering why we are placing "720" first, and "1280" second, it's because, like with 99% of all other phones, the screen has a portrait orientation). Due to the high resolution, images and fine details are indeed very clear, allowing for even tiny text on web pages to be easily readable. When it comes to the curved glass on the screen, well, it doesn't really make much of a difference for us. It's very, very slightly curved and we can't see any real benefit from it.
The coolest thing about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus however, is undoubtedly the Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS. As you know, the ICS platform is built on top of Honeycomb, rather than Gingerbread, and it has the purpose of unifying the Android experience on both phones and tablets. Not only will the platform look extremely similar on both types of devices, but it will also allow developers to create better apps more easily. Pretty much everything is different, compared to Android 2.* - from the contacts, through the calendar, to the web browser. Unfortunately, our unit has a very early build of the ICS software installed, so won't be able to test all of its functionality in for our upcoming preview.
Anyways, ICS definitely seems like a pretty good thing happening to Android. The operating system does look very fancy, although we're not really sure just how much of an appeal it would hold for the mainstream audience. With its dark, tron-style looks, it's by no means uninviting, but we wouldn't doubt that manufacturers will opt to customize it with their own interfaces down the road.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus looks like an intriguing smartphone, ushering us into the ICS era. We sure are excited about all the technology that's been implemented with its execution, like the HD Super AMOLED screen and novelty software platform. However, there seems to be much more that we could ask for, at least on hardware level. For the rest of it, we would rather wait until we have the chance to play with a final unit. Right now, it's only known that Verizon will surely be offering the device in the States, complete with LTE connectivity. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is expected to hit the shelves sometime in November.

lol.. i was expecting more.. prelim benchmarks or something!! lol
3. ilia1986 (unregistered)
lol remixfa, I think that the GS2 with ICS will blow the Galaxy Nexus away with it's lower resolution, and the exynos processor. Besides, the S2 has the SA plus screen, vs the regular SA screen on the nexus.
Can't wait for the GS3 :P
4. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol.. thats always in the back of my mind. unfortunately i only have access to the inferior Hercules SGS2. I will not touch it. So unless another phone is announced for christmas/january that has ICS and better features, the nexus is probably my next device.
5. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
besides, pentile doesnt bother me.. its more fear mongering hype than it is actual disadvantage. I dont even really notice it on my SGS1 unless im reading red text or stick my nose on the screen.
48. Synack (Posts: 674; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Yeah doesn't bother me either but choosing to use the good ol cheap plastic DOES bother me. At LEAST make the phone white or something. The SGS1 Samsung Fascinate looked KILLER in white.

See PA's "Is PenTile bad for you?" article for a comparison of Super AMOLED (Pentile) HD and Super AMOLED Plus. The resolution gives it enough fine detail to blow Plus away. I'll take HD Pentile over SD RGB.
24. pkiran1996 (Posts: 166; Member since: 22 Oct 2011)
@roldefol are u saying the high resolution makes up for the PenTile display?
26. Snapdude (Posts: 128; Member since: 27 Aug 2009)
that is correct, paired with the brightness and contrast ratio of super amoled displays... the pentile imperfections are hardly visible

You are totally right, i was decided to buy the Nexus in January then i thought that around April next year Samsung will probably laung a GSIII with quad core and a HD SAMOLED+ screen so i decided to wait until June to buy a new phone
45. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
dont forget the 6 month delay before korea launch and america launch. your talking next christmas :)
28. Smart (Posts: 76; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
hey buddy long time......
Quite frankly, I was little disappointed with the 1.2 GHz Omap 4460...was expecting the next gen exynos powering the device....
But ice cream sandwich is too much to resist....
And that SGS3 is another 10 months away I guess grabbing the nexus will be the best thing to do now...
Moto Razr is good too but the ics is making me lean samsung way...
But to tell the truth my SGS2 still blows.....Except for the screen resolution I dont see much threat from nexus as it might eventually get to feast on ics soon....or will samsung ditch?....
Exhilarated and little confused....lol....

For those with uneducated comments about the specs of the phone... The CPU and GPU are very good, definitely among the top 3 of current smartphones. Read the links on PA to see why Google chose TI for their chipset and why the screen is also among the best, despite using the PenTile matrix. The camera is also pretty good, don't let MP fool you since that's pure marketing BS. What makes a camera good is the lens and sensor, not the amount of megapixels. Also, IMO no SD card isn't a deal breaker since 16/32GB should be more than enough for most people. For me, the worst part of this phone is the poor TI audio codec. They should have stuck with the Wolfson DAC from the first Galaxy S, which is untouchable in sound quality by any current smartphone. What makes me not want to choose Motorola is the fact that they lock their bootloader so you won't be getting many custom ROMs.

TBH, I dont think the Google Nexus needs a faster processor. The Google Nexus is running android 4.0 which has hardware acceleration. This will give the phone a great speed boost compared to a 1.2ghz running on 2.3.
The omap processor can easily handle 1.5Ghz so I think for those who will cutomize their phone they may well go ahead and overclock but I think one of the reasons was, if ICS is supposed to be much faster than gingerbread, then, there is no need to clock at 1.5ghz and have people complaining of poor battery life especially since their is no need for it and the phone has a big ass display at 4.65 inches which will take a toll on the battery. To the average consumer (which makes up the vast majority) they need something that runs fast and smooth, they dont care if its 1.2 or 1.5 GHz.
We know Samsung are working on faster processors which are built on a smaller nm, so battery life will be much improved. It will be nice to make your daily phone a gaming console comparable to an XBOX or PS3 and looks like thats where we are heading. ICS already supports USB game controllers and with a HDMI port, plug into to your TV and just think of the possibilities. There are now also 64gb micro SD cards available which I think Samsung will support in their next phone. Galaxy S3 will be badass. I just hope Samsung will move to quadcore CPU's by then.

Giant Samsung Nexus phone is competing with smaller iPhone. Good jobs Samsung keep producing new phones every month not 1 phone every year like iPhony.
7. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
@som - every year? Not this time around. Maybe Apple releases the iPhone 5 in less than 12 months from now to make up for the slippage, but they are definitely not on a 12 month cycle at this point.

People need to get over the plastic designs. In the past they did feel cheap but the epic touch feels great and sturdy. If you are worried about it or don't like how it feels, buy a case. Which you should do anyway, so no its not a deal breaker. SGS2 did better are durability than the iPhone. So what's worse? "My phone feels plastic" or "my phone is shattered"?

Agreed. Also with phones the size of the SGS2 and Nexus, using metal and glass would make the phone weigh half a pound.

id rather that honestly, along those lines id like to see an HTC made nexus....
19. Snapdude (Posts: 128; Member since: 27 Aug 2009)
EDIT: minus the use of qualcomm chipsets and htc screens and batteries....sooo maybe more like an HTC designed nexus? built with other manufacturers parts? i just like their chcoice of materials, they feel and look great

FINAL EDIT: HTC styling and chassis materials, samsung cpu, dual channel ram, multi core gpu, 4.7 hd NOVA display, motorola battery and antenna...wishful thinking :/

lol thatd be like becoming apple and using 500000000000000000000000000000000 different companies to make one phone. but i do agree htc's styling is superb yet their constant use of qualcomm failure snapdragon processors is holding them back. xyenos 1.2ghz > qualcomm 1.5ghz.

Sg2 I tested it out at a sprint store and it feels very good. I wasn't sure if it was fully plastic if that's the case that's fine wit me it was super light I will prob just buy a heavy duty case.

( < Thump3rDX17 getting you used to the change) i agree the Epic 4G Touch is an exception, if i had to have a plastic phone that would be the ideal one but plastic is plastic.

12. phantomash (Posts: 20; Member since: 27 Aug 2011)

16. Snapdude (Posts: 128; Member since: 27 Aug 2009)

14. remyrz (Posts: 197; Member since: 28 Oct 2010)

Beautiful Display

Not sure how bad is a fully plastic phone is the article seems as if its really bad. The razr is an option since its not fully plastic. Again not sure if a fully built plastic phone is durable. My droid 2 has fell numerous times and its still in great shape. I guess I will wait until I can hold both untis.

Is this article regarding wat GALAXY NEXUS has and has to offer or is it just this guy's(who wrote the article) tryin to opinionate the whole phone????

Some don't agree, but this plastic bore me. BUT I'm don't make a final judgment, because you always should wait to have the actual device in our hand to jedge how its design is.
But still, I'd prefer the Droid Razr, or the N9. Okay, N9 is plastic, but even in photos it looks absolutely gorgeous. The grey brilliant plastic here...well, can't wait to have it in hands, have a real statement.

-.- still lags more than SGS II
I blame the processor.
32. bucky (Posts: 2213; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
i agree! I see more hype around the actual android 4.0. I dont think the phone is anything above the international sgs2
38. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3099; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Yea and big foot exists right? This phone doesn't lag so sheep shut your mouths and get over that your iPhone is exactly the same as it was 5 years ago.
33. willardcw4 (Posts: 169; Member since: 01 Oct 2011)
I didn't notice much lag from the hand-on vid.. looks just as responsive as my dad's att sgs2. What did you see to make you think it lags?
And the screen res is still a pretty big deal :)
31. mukrenol (Posts: 90; Member since: 03 Sep 2011)
You can tell the guy don't like this phone at all
He only press three major bottons
Did not even give tour of the hardware

37. Skidro13 (Posts: 59; Member since: 27 Jul 2010)

42. henrickrw (Posts: 408; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
I rather keep using my GS2 for a while... Nexus is not my favorite.
43. DigitalMD (Posts: 226; Member since: 17 Feb 2010)

As the support request is already closed, I have to comment here, in a new thread.
The build instructions in the README do not contain the detailed instructions needed to create the configure-script for Foobillardplus. Unfortunately the procedure is non-standard (if there is something like a standard) and I would never have figured it out on my own.
Finally, to really compile the program, I still had to make minor changes as my SDL header files are in a sub-directory "SDL" in /usr/include. There are two headers and two *.c files which create compile-errors, when I follow the procedure, proposed in the previous discussion of the support request.
All I did was to change the include-statemens to <SDL/SDL_net.h> and <SDL/SDL_mixer.h>, as I do not know what is needed to alter the project-configuration appropriately. At least, now I have a running Foobillardplus of release 112 !

The README now *does* contain the necessary instructions since revision 113.
This will work !

Types Of Backpacks To Stay Away From
There are literally hundreds of different types of backpacks on the market and they come in all shapes, colors and sizes. When selecting a bug out bag you want to make sure that the pack you get is very durable, fits you properly, has the proper supports and has enough compartments and space inside to store all of your supplies. There are, however, some types of packs that you should absolutely stay away from which I'll list below.
Unless you're out hunting or are expecting to be rescued, you probably won't want to be seen wearing a bright florescent orange backpack. It will attract unwanted attention and if you are trying to stay hidden and out of sight you'll be finding yourself caught in a lot of trouble especially if all hell breaks loose and people are fighting each other for survival.
Purchasing a backpack that has no built in supports of any kind is a bad idea. If you're planning on using a pack like this as a get home back then it can do the job, but if you will need to leave your home for an extended period of time and will have to carry all your emergency supplies with you then you're just asking for trouble. Your entire body will be suffering especially if you're not in shape and are not used to carrying heavier loads for long periods of time.
An over sized or overloaded backpack is another bad idea. It's not about taking absolutely everything with you which is why we need to learn how to organize our packs and make our survival kits as small and lightweight as possible. It's recommended that you only carry up to 25% of your total body weight on your back. I'll go over these details in a future post.
If at all possible, try and stay away from the cheap backpacks like your basic school bags found at Walmart and other stores. They're not made to last and don't offer any type of support or stability and it won't be long before they start to fall apart on you. Besides those facts, they usually don't have many compartments for you to organize your gear either.
Pre-made bug out bags/medical kits:
While purchasing a pre-made bug out bag may seem like the best and easiest thing to do, it's not a good idea because NO pre-made BOB will ever completely cater to your family's needs. For the most part, you can actually build your own bug out bag for a lot less money. The dollar store actually carries quite a few items such as a wide variety of band-aids, patches, slings, arm wraps, alcohol wipes, safety pins, needles, peroxide and more for next to nothing.
Choosing a proper backpack can be confusing. If you haven't already, you should read my previous post on selecting a bug out bag. It will give you some insight on what to look for and as I had mentioned in that post, your best bet is to go to an outfitters store and try on the different types of packs to see which one is the most comfortable and practical for you. While you might have a bit of a time selecting a BOB use your common sense and stay away from the cheap and unpractical backpacks. If you can't afford a higher end quality pack then you'll have to make do with what you have. Better yet, go to a local army surplus store and see what they have. Any of those bags are better than a $25.00 low quality pack from Walmart.
