Comparing a £529-plus super-smartphone such as the iPhone 5 with an Android handset costing less than half its price might sound a little like comparing apples with oranges. In fact, a key selling point of the Google Nexus 4 is its incredible value: this is a high-end smartphone with a mid-range price tag. It's also the only smartphone available with Google's latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system, while an iPhone is your only option if you want to get your hands on Apple iOS 6.
Truth is, whether you choose the Google Nexus 4 or Apple iPhone 5 will likely come down not to your bank balance, but whether you fall into Camp Android or Camp Apple. Keep a clear mind, though and, spec for spec, which smartphone should you buy? Here, we pit Google's Nexus 4 against Apple's iPhone 5 to find out which is the best smartphone.
You can also read our standalone Apple iPhone 5 and Google Nexus 4 expert reviews, or scroll down to view video reviews of these high-end smartphones. Also see: Group test: what's the best smartphone? and Group test: what's the best Android phone?
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Price
Let's start with that glaring difference between the iPhone 5 and Nexus 4, then: price. Apple's iPhone 5, available in either black or white, starts at £529 with 16GB of storage, or you can buy a 32GB model for £599 or 64GB for £699. Importantly, you can actually buy this device, too: the Nexus 4 has spent much of its first two months onsale at Google Play sold out. Indeed, it's still sold out. But that doesn't make Apple's handset the winner in this category - Google's Nexus 4 offers unbeatable value.
Like all its Nexus devices, Google's smartphone is said to be subsidised to encourage uptake of the Android platform and content sales at Google Play. Regardless of the reason behind its low price, the Nexus 4 makes available to all users high-end smartphone performance. The 8GB version costs £290 less than the cheapest iPhone 5, at £239, and the 16GB Nexus 4 is still £250 cheaper than the equivalent iPhone 5, at £279.
Meanwhile, if you've got your heart set on an iPhone, but aren't willing to pay such a high premium, Apple sells its old iPhone 4 from £319, and iPhone 4S from £449. Yep, the Nexus 4 is still the cheapest of the bunch. If you would rather buy a smartphone and sign up to a SIM-only contract than pay over the odds on a monthly basis, it's certainly got the edge.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Dimensions
Don't be fooled with the '4' and '5' in the Nexus and iPhone product names: Google's Nexus 4 is the larger smartphone here, whichever way you look at it. That said, despite packing a significantly larger 4.7in screen than the iPhone 5's 4in panel, the Nexus 4 is only a centimetre taller than Apple's handset, at 133.9mm versus 123.8mm. It's exactly the same amount wider, too, at 68.7mm versus 58.6mm. And it's fatter, at 9.1mm versus the iPhone 5's ultra-thin 7.6mm. Unsurprisingly, then, you're more likely to feel the Nexus 4 in your pocket, with it weighing in at 139g, while the iPhone 5 could more easily slip away unnoticed, at 112g. Apple's smartphone is almost too light.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Build
Apple's products are renowned for their flawless build quality, and one reason iFans have remained so loyal to the brand. The Nexus 4, on the other hand, is cheap - but in its asking price only. Google's smartphone looks and feels great in the hand, both sturdy and attractive - it has a better build than any Android smartphone we've seen, with a screen that sits flush to the bezel. It's a slippery character, mind, although a rubbery finish to the circumference usefully adds grip. As for the iPhone 5, its build quality has been described as jewel-like for good reason. It truly is a stunner.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Screen
The Google Nexus 4 might have the larger, higher-resolution display here, thrusting its 4.7in (1280x768-pixel) panel in the face of Apple's smaller 4in (1136x640-pixel) screen, but that size difference means the iPhone 5 actually packs more pixels per inch than the Nexus 4. There's not a lot in it, with just 6ppi separating the 320ppi Nexus 4 and 326ppi iPhone 5, but a difference there is.
Both panels are of the in-plane switching (IPS) variety. The Nexus 4's screen is stunning, with excellent contrast, rich colours, fantastic viewing angles and good detail. In our tests we found it performed particularly well, and better than most when viewed in direct sunlight. Meanwhile, the iPhone 5's panel is slightly taller, and with even richer - but still natural-looking - colour saturation, than the gorgeous pixel-hiding 'Retina' display we admired in the iPhone 4S. Apple lists an 800:1 contrast ratio and 500cd/m2 brightness rating. The iPhone 5 gets our thumbs-up here, but the Nexus 4 is a close contender.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Processor & performance
Google's Nexus 4 runs a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, clocked at 1.5GHz, which is paired with 2GB of RAM. The iPhone 5, by comparison, has a 1.3GHz Apple A6 chip with 1GB of RAM. You would expect the Nexus 4 to have the lead in performance, right?
Well, of course, you are correct - but the difference isn't as great as you might expect, and both Nexus 4 and iPhone 5 felt incredibly snappy in our subjective tests.
We use three benchmarks to measure smartphone speed: Geekbench, GLBenchmark and SunSpider, for overall, graphics and web-browsing performance respectively.
In Geekbench the iPhone 5 managed 1,650 points, while the Nexus 4 delivered the best performance we've seen from a smartphone, with 2,009 points.
In GLBenchmark we saw identical gaming framerates from the Nexus 4 and iPhone 5, with both handsets capable of 39fps.
And in SunSpider, we saw lightning web-browsing speeds from the iPhone 5, with 903ms, but much slower JavaScript performance from the Nexus 4, with 1,906ms.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Storage
It's important to choose the storage capacity that best fits your needs when you buy either the Nexus 4 or iPhone 5, since neither have removable memory slots for expansion. If your needs are great, and your pockets deep, the iPhone has up to 64GB of storage. Meanwhile, the Nexus 4 maxes out at 16GB.
There are ways around storage limits, of course. Both Android and iOS platforms actively push the cloud as an everyday medium for storage and streaming - Apple with its iTunes and iCloud, and Google with its Play Movies & TV, Books, Magazines, Music and more. But the cloud is accessible only while you're within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot or the constraints of your cellular download limit. At other times, you could consider carrying a Wi-Fi-enabled portable hard drive, such as the Kingston Wi-Drive.
Streaming is made all the more accessible in the iPhone 5 with 4G LTE connectivity in the UK. However, early 4G tariffs are expensive, and available in select cities only.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Cameras
The two smartphones are evenly matched in the camera department, both equipped with an 8Mp snapper and LED flash, also capable of full-HD (1080p) video recording at 30fps. The Nexus' front-facing camera supports a slightly higher 1.3Mp resolution than the iPhone's 1.2Mp 'FaceTime' equivalent for video chat, although the iPhone also boasts Wideband audio in this regard (note that both caller and callee must have compatible handsets). You'll find features such as HDR and panoramic modes in each handset.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Connectivity
Dual-band wireless and Bluetooth 4.0 are offered by both Google and Apple phones, while the Nexus 4 also supports NFC and the iPhone 5 4G LTE (where available). A SlimPort HDMI adaptor lets you hook up the Nexus 4 to an external display, and there's also support for wireless charging.
Perhaps the more important difference is the Nexus 4's offering of the universal Micro-USB port for charging and data transfer, whereas the iPhone 5 has a proprietary Lightning dock. The latter differs from the 30-pin port found on previous iPhones and iDevices, meaning existing accessories will be accessible only with an adaptor cable (not supplied).
One other small difference in connectivity terms is the iPhone 5's use of a Nano-SIM in place of the Micro-SIM now seen in most smartphones, including the Nexus 4. You'll need to contact your mobile operator to request such a SIM - things are getting a little too small here to risk it with a pair of scissors or craft knife.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Software
With either smartphone, you will get the latest version of iOS or Android preinstalled - not always a given for Android handsets. You'll also be the first to get an upgrade when future versions are released. We won't go into great detail over the main differences between Apple iOS 6.1 and Android Jelly Bean 4.2 here, suffice to say that with Jelly Bean Google finally has a true rival to iOS. You can read more about each OS in our Apple iOS 6 and Android Jelly Bean reviews.
Thousands of apps are available on either platform but, while this situation is changing as Android increases in popularity, many still become available for iOS long before they make their way to Google Play. Although you'll be charged for many of the apps in Apple's App Store that are free in Google Play, with iOS you get some additional reassurances in terms of security.
By default, Android won't let you install apps from anywhere other than Google Play, although changing this is simply a matter of disabling an option in the Settings menu; with iOS, you can't install apps found elsewhere, period. And while all the apps found in Apple's App Store are rigorously screened, with developers having to jump through several hoops to get their wares instore, with Android the process is a lot easier. This means rogue and malicious apps more easily find their way into Google Play - not that you should be unnecessarily alarmed, since mobile malware is still largely unheard of, but it will pay to keep your wits about you. In the end, whether you prioritise freedom or security is your choice.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Battery
Neither smartphone has a removable battery, so swapping in a spare when you've run out of juice on the road isn't an option. In our informal tests we found both handsets would stretch to a couple of days with normal use.
Google Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: which is the best smartphone?
We still haven't got over the incredible value offered by the Nexus 4; anyone who goes by that old adage that if you count the pennies the pounds will look after themselves will surely plump for Google's handset. But price isn't the number-one criteria for many buyers, particularly those picking a smartphone on an 18- or 24-month contract.
Both handsets possess exceptional build quality, and there's little difference in their sizing. The iPhone 5 has the better (but smaller) screen, faster web-browsing (but slower overall) performance, more useful available storage capacities, support for 4G LTE connectivity as and when it becomes available in your area, and wins in the apps department, too. But the Nexus 4 is staggeringly fast, supports universal Micro-USB for charging and data transfer, plus it runs a more 'open' OS.

Google's latest smartphone is the LG Nexus 4 and you're probably wondering how it compares to Apple's iPhone 5? We'll explain all the differences in our Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5 comparison review.
Google's has teamed up with LG to make the Nexus 4, but can the pair trump Apple's popular iPhone? We'll compare these two smartphones in-depth to help you decide which is right for you. See also: Group test: What's the best smartphone?
We'll be bringing you a full Nexus 4 review as soon as we can but for now check out the following articles: iPhone 5 review, and Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Google LG Nexus 4 comparison review, as well as Google Nexus 4 preview, and Google Nexus 4 price in UK and specs.
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Price
The LG Nexus 4 is a considerably cheaper alternative to the iPhone 5. Google is selling it on the Google Play Store for much less than it's worth, like it does with the Nexus 7 tablet. See also Google announces LG Nexus 4, Nexus 10 and new Nexus 7 models.
The Nexus 4 starts at just £239 for the 8GB and jumps to £279 for 16GB. There's no 8GB model of the iPhone 5 but the 16GB costs almost twice as much at £529.
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Dimensions
The iPhone 5 is bigger than previous generations but is smaller than the Nexus 4. It measures 59 x 124mm compared to 69 x 134mm. The iPhone 5 is also thinner at 7.6mm against 9.1mm.
It's no surprise then to find that the iPhone 5 is also lighter than the Nexus 4 – it weighs just 112g and the LG handset weighs 139g.
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Screen
Google's Nexus 4 has a 4.7in screen, almost as large as the Galaxy S3's display. Apple has increased the size of the iPhone's screen for the first time to 4in.
Apple has maintained the Retina quality 326ppi by increasing the resolution of the iPhone's screen to 640 x 1136. The Nexus 4 uses a resolution of 768 x 1280, but because the screen is larger the pixel density is slightly lower at 320ppi.
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Processor and memory
Google's Nexus 4 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor. Apple uses its own A6 chip, it's a dual-core and clocked at 1.3GHz. The Nexus4 has twice the amount on offer in terms of RAM than the iPhone 5 at 2GB.
Our early benchmark tests indicate that the Nexus 4 is faster. Stay tuned for full details in our Nexus 4 review.
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Storage
A downside to the Nexus 4 is its limited storage since it only comes in 8GB and 16GB options. The iPhone 5, on the otherhand, sticks to iPhone tradition offering 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. Neither Google nor Apple allows this to be added to, choosing not to include a microSD card slot.
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Cameras
On paper the main rear cameras on the Nexus 4 and iPhone 5 are tied. Both rear cameras are rated at 8Mp with the ability to record video in full HD 1080p quality, although both have different features.
Both front facing webcams can shoot video at 720p, but the Nexus 4's has a slightly higher resolution of 1.3Mp compared to 1.2Mp for still photos.
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Connectivity
Connectivity features of the iPhone 5 and Nexus 4 include dual-band Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. On top of this the Nexus 4 has near-field communications (NFC) and wireless charging. It also supports HDMI output via an adaptor.
Familiar to Android handsets, the Nexus 4 uses a microUSB port while the iPhone 5 uses Apple's new 8-pin Lightning connector.
A big connectivity difference is that the iPhone 5 supports 4G LTE mobile broadband in the UK but the Nexus 4 is restricted to 3G.
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Software
Apple's iPhone 5 runs its own iOS 6 software while Google's Nexus 4 runs its own Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system. This then, is one of the biggest differences between the two smartphones.
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean FAQ: What you need to know
Google LG Nexus 4 vs Apple iPhone 5: Battery
The iPhone 5 has a 5.45Wh capacity battery which we find lasts a couple of days. The Nexus 4 has a larger 7.8Wh battery, but with a bigger screen it's all relative. Neither battery is removable so you'll be stuck with however long it can last. Look out for our full Nexus 4 review for battery performance.

Mandela Sign Interpreter: I Was Hallucinating
Posted December 12th, 2013 @ 10:29am by Rob Quinn, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – The interpreter blasted for supposedlymaking up sign language during Nelson Mandela's memorial service says he wasn't faking it—he was hallucinating and hearing voices. Thamsanqa Jantjie says he suffers from schizophrenia and he had an episode during the service, possibly brought on by the magnitude of the occasion. He says he felt unable to leave and continued to sign things that made no sense.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Claims for vehicle damage caused by road conditions cost the West Virginia Division of Highways more than $22,000 in 2012.
The state Court of Claims awarded a total $22,416 to motorists who filed claims against the DOH. The court also ordered the DOH to pay $12,601 to two people for claims related to maintenance failure.
The Dominion Post reports that the road-related claims included tires and wheels damaged by potholes.
Rachel Rinehart of Preston County filed a claim for damage after her car slid on a patch of ice and into an embankment in January 2011. She was awarded $375.
Rinehart says the accident wouldn't have occurred if the DOH had treated the road with cinders.

Not all that long ago, people were afraid to approach the topic of ghosts. The popularity of ghost shows on television has changed that perspective, and now people are excited to talk about ghost sightings and other supernatural experiences they have. With the quantity of paranormal occurrences increasing, we need to be cognizant that if a ghost is in our lives, it will need our help in crossing over. Diana Palm, author of Setting Spirits Free, gives us ten reasons we should help ghosts with their healing and journey to the other side.

Public culture has long had an appetite for the supernatural, resulting in numerous television shows and a growing number of ghost hunters. But there is a flip side to this: this type of avocation carries real personal and transformative meaning for the many who choose to partake.

Choose Your Poison: Gas Tax or Mileage Tax
Unless we want the streets of the United States to look like the streets of Michigan, we've got to figure out a way to pay for proper infrastructure repair and replacement.
The most logical ways to fund streets are through vehicle registration taxes and gas taxes. The problem, of course, is that both are about as high as they can politically get in most areas while streets and highways continue to crumble. As hard as it is to admit, I believe gas taxes should increase, because it's the most fair way to evenly distribute how much tax individuals pay. Higher gas prices also will spur drivers to save more fuel and drive less.
But cities in the Bay Area have a different idea.

Hiya Folks,
If I run a 3-5 miles, I usually do it without drinking anything during the run. But, I am getting to the point in my running / training that I can run 8-11 miles and I would like to carry a water bottle or something in order to stay hydrated.
What do you use? I saw some bulky bottles with belts to carry them on in a national sports store, but was not completely sold on them. Thanks for your thoughts.
ps. when do you drink? every mile? every 3?

I had been thinking about getting a hydration belt for some time, but was not willing to spend $40 or $45 for one on the chance I didn't like it. Then I won a $40 gift certificate to a local running store and felt like I was playing with house money, so I picked one up. They carried the Amphipod brand and I got the Runlite belt with 4 - 8 oz bottles. I used it for the first time yesterday and liked it. It didn't feel like it was weighing me down, didn't feel bouncy and it had a little pouch for a phone, money, id, etc. The bottles snapped into place securly and were easy to remove and put back. Overall, I am very pleased with this. There is a company called Nathan that sells a similar product.
I plan to use the belt whenever I run over 5 miles or so or if it is extremely hot. I used two of the bottles during an 8.5 mile run yesterday, then finished off the other 2 when I was done. I like the smaller bottles as the weight is distrubuted evenly and, if you choose, you can fill a couple with water and a couple with a sport drink.

Thanks. This was the kind of info I was looking for. I have looked online for Hydration packs and seem to find Nathon and Amphipod packs everywhere.
They all look like they would be bulky to carry around, but I see very few complaints.
Take Care..

There are a wide range of hydration containers out there. Here are a couple of blog posts that I wrote that might help you select the right one for you.
Boston Marathon Finisher
Albany (NY) Times Union Runners Blog
I use a Nathan handheld bottle (link below) occasionally. I don't have any complaints about it. It has a pocket that's big enough for a couple gels and keys. The strap is nice because you don't have to actually grip the bottle tightly.
I also have an Amphipod belt (an older model but similar the one in the link below). It's OK. It bounces around quite a bit and rides up around my waist. It also has a small pocket that'll hold about as much as the Nathan bottle. I think the new ones have elastic in the belt which might fix the bouncing/riding. I bought the handheld Nathan bottle to replace this Amphipod belt.
For long (20+ miles), hot or secluded trail runs I wear a Camelbak hydration pack. It's great but probably a bit much for what you're looking for.
I don't drink much when I run (or bike for that matter) but I usually just go by feel. I don't have a set schedule but I probably start drinking somewhere between miles 5-8 and take small drinks probably every 1-2 miles. For long runs I have some gel or a Clif Block with some water each 2 miles starting at mile 8. It seems to work for me. Of course, hotter weather gets me to drink a little more often.
I just designed a new water bottle for runners called Simple Hydration - it's a water bottle that hooks to your waistband so that you don't need to carry water or need a bulky hydration belt. The other thing that is cool is that it can simply transform a race belt (like a Spibelt) into a hydration belt by simply hooking the bottle to it. You can check out the video and read more about it on www.simplehydration.com. Hope you check it out.
Good luck with your running.
- Brian
A runner that created the Simple Hydration Water Bottle just for runners - the water bottle that simply hooks to your waistband or race belt. I love running and Ironman triathlons.
I use a "Fuel Belt" with 4 8-oz bottles and a little zip pocket for things like Sport Beans. I find myself sipping water throughout my run, rather than downing a bottle at a time. I love the belt when I fill the two front bottles but for some reason, if I fill the back 2 bottles, the belt shugs up and down and I spend most of my run fighting with it. I"ve contacted the company and talked with folks at the sport store where I bought the belt, but apparently no one else in the entire world has had this problem, so I wouldn't let it deter you. Stay hydrated!
I'm a Fuel Belt fan also. But I replaced the 8 oz bottles for 10oz bottles and like it better. I have both the 2 and 4 bottle version depending on the length of the run. It did take a bit of getting used to but I wouldn't dare run long without it now. I like the way the contour of the bottles fit your hand and have learned how to pull, open with teeth, drink and put back in the belt without missing a beat. I know, you're thinking "pretty talented...lol". I drink as often as I feel I need to but not guzzles more medium sips. I also carry some cash and if I'm on a particularly long and hot run will stop in somewhere along the way for water and drink a bottle on the road.
Hi! I have a Camelbak (not sure which model or size). It doesn't have a chest strap or waist strap and therefore bounced around a lot when I tried to run with it. Give it a shot - you'll probably agree that it moves too much to be comfortable. (Sorry, I don't know squat about running in Texas.)

Few distance runners would call 13.1 miles a pleasure trip. But tack on a post-race party with your girls, next day massages at an award-winning spa or a Michelin-starred meal, and that's what you've got.
To find races fit for a weekend, we looked at halves that were held on unique courses in travel-worthy destinations with lots to do and with ho-hassle logistics. Props for those held on Saturdays … more time to recover from the, ahem, race.
OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon
Saturday, May 4; $75
The 35,000-participant OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon, held in Indianapolis, is one of the nation's largest halves, the seventh-largest road race in the United States and the 18th largest in the world: In 2012, runners represented all 50 states and 11 countries. The course takes you through the vibrant downtown district, past the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and back. If your prefer bottles of wine over the Brickyard, the Indy Wine Trail includes seven award-winning wineries, all within minutes of downtown Indianapolis. At night, the city comes alive with great music venues, such as the Slippery Noodle Inn, the oldest watering hole in Indiana and considered one of the best blues bars in the U.S. Catch a show after visiting the Sun King Brewery (try the Osiris Pale Ale).

Mountain to Molehills: 'No surprise'
Published: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 7:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 7:04 a.m.
John Albree of Columbus is shaking his head, wondering what has happened to patriotism among athletes. "I watched the opening ceremony before the start of the Dallas Cowboys-Washington Redskins football game, and the national anthem was sung very nicely by a young female along with an orchestra. The coverage showed former President George W. Bush and his wife rendering the proper honors with the right hand placed over the heart. The coverage also switched to U.S. Army Airborne soldiers live in Afghanistan and standing at attention. And what do you think the vast majority of the players were doing? To my great disappointment but no surprise, they stood with their hands at their sides or folded and displaying little or no respect for what was happening," grouses Mr. Albree. "The crowd was almost universally showing proper respect, and many were singing the words. Maybe it's my age showing, but I cannot understand why patriotism is such a lost part of our respect for the United States of America. The local folks in Polk County do far better before each home football game."
'BETTER TIMES AHEAD': Denise Quisenberry of Hendersonville is convinced her life will be better under the leadership of President Barack Obama over the next four years. "We do expect better times ahead, particularly for women and single parents who need the assistance he is pushing for," she says. "These struggling families need help to get back on their feet. I also think his wife is doing some excellent things, especially her efforts to improve education. Heck, I would have voted for her for president." Just as thrilled about the election outcome is her 6-year-old daughter, Deborah, who participated in a straw poll at school. "When she heard Obama won, she screamed," says Mom. "She was thrilled because she had voted for him at school."
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?: Marilyn Broadbent of Hendersonville recommends a trip to The Homestead restaurant in Horse Shoe. "We were very pleased with our meal and will go again," she says. "They don't have a really big menu, but the quality of the food is excellent. My husband had the crab cakes and said they were delicious. A friend recommended the place to us, and it was great."
THAT'LL FIX HIM: A 13-year-old came home with a Porsche, and his parents had plenty of questions. "Where did you get that car?" the dad asked. The youngster said, "I bought it" "With what money?" demanded his mom. "We know what a Porsche costs." "Well," said the boy, "this one cost me $15." "Who would sell a car like that for $15?" asked the dad. "It was the lady up the street," said the boy. "I don't know her name. They just moved in. She saw me ride past on my bicycle and asked me whether I wanted to buy a Porsche for $15." "Oh, no," cried the mom, who then instructed her husband to visit the neighbor and learn her motive. The boy's dad walked up the street to where the lady lived and found her out in the yard. He introduced himself as the dad of the boy to whom she had sold a Porsche for $15 and demanded to know why. "Well," she said, "this morning I received a telephone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip, but it seems he ran off to Brazil with his secretary and doesn't intend to come back. He asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money. I did."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: The community is invited to St. Luke's Hospital at 3:30 p.m. Thursday for the groundbreaking and reception to mark the beginning of a $5.6 million construction project that will feature enlarged patient rooms, a state-of the-art gym for physical rehabilitation, a new nurses' station and a large, comfortable room for family time. Following the program, food and beverages will be offered.

OAKLAND -- A's general manager Billy Beane said Friday that he sees the bulk of this year's American League West championship team returning in 2013.
Speaking a day after the A's were knocked out of the postseason by Detroit, Beane said he thinks the foundation is in place to continue building on a surprising 94-win season.
"I think we're in great shape," Beane said. "The satisfying thing about the crowd's response to this team last night was they're gonna get to see this team, by and large, next year. If there's moves made, the idea would be additions.
"I've had situations where we had great seasons and I knew the team wasn't gonna be back (because of) free agency and things like that. (The goal is) to try and continue the momentum in the winter. We should be able to build on this next year."
The A's still have roster decisions to make, and one of the main ones is whether to bring back shortstop Stephen Drew. He and the A's hold a $10 million mutual option for next season, and if both sides don't exercise that, he'll become a free agent.
Beane and manager Bob Melvin both said they would like outfielder Jonny Gomes, another potential free agent, to return based on his importance as a clubhouse leader.
Beane also said he considers closer Grant Balfour an important piece to bring back. The A's hold a $4.5 million option on Balfour, and the reliever said he hopes to return to Oakland.
For his part, Melvin said he was proud of the season but also described Friday as an "empty day." "I didn't expect to spend my day like this," wrapping up season.

In her official CBS bio for "Survivor: Cagayan," San Jose's Morgan McLeod says she went on the popular reality series to "show everyone that just because I have huge boobs and a pretty face does not mean I'm dumb. It just means I look better when I'm winning."
The former San Francisco 49ers cheerleader took her physical assets, along with that robust self-confidence, into the latest installment of the show, which bills itself as a battle of "brains vs. brawn vs. beauty." McLeod, not surprisingly, competes on the "Beauty" tribe.
The 21-year-old communications student at San Jose State admits that her looks have helped more than hurt over the years -- she was only a senior at Archbishop Mitty High School when she beat out hundreds of other women to make the 49ers Gold Rush squad. But she wants viewers to know that she's not the "stuck-up bratty kind of girl who thinks she's better than everyone else."
McLeod took some time recently to chat via phone. As usual, any details about her time on the island were strictly off limits.
Q What made you think you could survive "Survivor"?
A Anyone who knows my history knows that I'm completely opposite from the outdoorsy type. But I knew I could do this. I've been in some pretty competitive cutthroat situations in my life. I'm not afraid.
Q Like what kind of competitive situations?
A Like being part of a group of 32 (cheerleaders). There's drama all the time. And all through high school, I've had to compete to get on the dance team and be part of the school musicals.
Q You say in your bio that you thought the past "Survivor" castaway you'd be most like is Parvati Shallow. Why is that?
A Because she's beautiful and fun and flirty and manipulative like me. She was a great all-around player who had the ability to make everyone love her but also fear her. We'll have to see if I can live up to that.
Q Often, on reality shows, the beautiful women attract a lot of haters. Are you prepared to have people saying bad things about you online and elsewhere?
A I'm used to it. As far back as the eighth grade, I've had people say, or write, mean things about me. I just brush it off. The people who really know me know that I'm not crazy and stuck up.
Q On the other hand, there will probably be a lot of guys developing crushes on you. Do you have a boyfriend?
A Yes, I'm in a serious relationship.
Q How serious?
A Really serious. We live together and we both have tattoos of each other's initials. Sorry, guys.
Q Being a "beauty" shouldn't automatically rule out the other traits ("brains" and "brawn"). How are you in the "brains" department?
A I'm not a dumb ditz. I went to a really elite college-prep high school and I'm going to college.
Q Were you a good student?
A (Laughing). I was horrible in math, so I had to go to summer school. Other than that, I was pretty good in the classroom and didn't get into trouble.
Q And "brawn?"
A I know people don't think cheerleading, or dancing, is a sport, but I disagree. It's really physical. I've been active all my life. I work out a lot and I can kick butt when I have to.
Q Back to your bio, you say that your pet peeves include terrible pickup lines. Can you give us an example?
A Oh, I can't specifically remember any right now, but I work as a waitress and I hear them every night. The worst are from drunk, older, non-attractive guys who actually think I'd be interested in them. I mean, look at yourself and now look at me. I have no time or interest.
Q What was your most memorable moment as a 49ers cheerleader?
A When the team went to London to play the Denver Broncos (in 2010). We spent nine days over there and had a lot of private events, including one where they had the Crown Jewels. It was an awesome experience.
Q So who's your favorite 49er?
A Well, any mixing between the cheerleaders is a big no-no, but Patrick Willis is really nice. He has come to the restaurant and he always leaves good tips. A lot of them don't.

After years of scrutiny under the eyes of the state recycling agency, Ridgecrest is set to have its case heard at a public hearing on May 21 in Sacramento, according to City Manager Dennis Speer during his report to the city council on Saturday.
"The state is holding a public hearing to remove the order of compliance against the City of Ridgecrest," Speer told the council.
Mayor Pro Tem Jason Patin asked if the city would recoup any of the fines levied against the city by Cal Recycle.
Speer said he would need to check with the city attorney's office over the matter but indicated it was being looked into as a possibility.
Ridgecrest was slammed with a mandate with by CalRecycle — then the California Integrated Waste Management System — in 2007 after failing to meet certain state standards.
At a public hearing in 2009, CalRecycle slapped a $47,580 fine on the city for failing to make a good-faith effort to implement the changes, with the $20,000 paid up front and $27,580 held while it continued to work on its compliance order.
During a Monday agenda briefing, Speer said that Ridgecrest Mayor Dan Clark would receive an official notice for the hearing.
"If the compliance order is dropped, it will mean the city will not be under the strict observation," Speer said. "They (CalRecycle) watch very closely on our quarterly reports to make sure we are in compliance."
Speer said that an investigator periodically visits to observe and photograph dumpsters to make sure the city follows through.
"They monitor pretty closely and we would move away from that if the compliance order is dropped," Speer said.
When asked whether the compliance order would be dropped by the state, Speer said it was likely a positive outcome.

Euna Jean Carmichael Hildebrand
Hi, I'm Marie Ferrell Salzman who has left messages on your Facebook page trying to verify if Euna Jean Carmichael's father, James Carmichael is the same person as my father's dad, James Edwin Carmichael. I've checked the 1930 US Census with Jim, Anna and Buckley and Jim's parents were born in TX and TN just like my James Carmichael. My Dad, Thomas James Ferrell, was born Thomas James Carmichael in Dallas in 1921 (James Edwin & Lula Belle Holland Carmichael) and his parents divorced in 1927. He changed his name legally in 1942. I'm hoping to verify if the grave for James Carmichael who died in 1971 in Turlock (that I found on Find a Grave) is the same person. If you could help me, I would appreciate it. I was in contact with Linda Bird Turner who is Anna's daughter and she gave me your name.
Thank you. Marie

If I only want to print some parts of the drawing - how can I get it?

bluea3 wrote:hi clive...
thx for your answer. It´s all clear about layer, copy/paste.
The thing I wanted to know... is there any possibility to tell the printer that it only prints a specific seciton of the drawing. Means making a frame around the partdrawing, pressing some buttons and print only the marked/framed parts?
andrew wrote:The easiest workaround for now is probably to create a white solid fill that hides the unwanted areas:
- Create a separate layer "overlay" with its color set to white.
- Draw a rectangle that limits the area you want to print.
- Draw another rectangle, at least as large as the complete drawing.
- Select both rectangles and choose "Draw" - "Hatch"
- Create a solid fill.
- If necessary, select everything on that layer and move it to the front ("Modify" - "To Front").
- Switch to print preview and adjust the scale / offset (temporarily switch off layer "overlay" if necessary).
- Make sure that white is printed as white and not black:
Edit - Preferences - Graphics View - untick "Auto correct black and white colors".
This is important since otherwise you will get a black overlay instead.
- Export to PDF or print.

3.6-10 Specifications of Negligence - Complaint
Revised to January 1, 2008
The complaint filed by the plaintiff
alleges a number of specific ways in which the defendant was negligent. To
prove negligence, it is not necessary for the plaintiff to prove that the
defendant was negligent in all of the ways claimed. Proof that the defendant
was negligent in just one of the ways claimed is sufficient to prove negligence.
No specific authority for this
instruction has been found, although it is commonly given. A separate
instruction is given for special defenses. This charge presumes that specific
allegations that are not sufficient to prove negligence will not be given to the
jury. The allegations that "survive the cut" should be read to the jury.

When I read fantasy, I read for the bizarre, the wrenched, the undertone of difference & weirdness that defamiliarises the world I know. I want the taste of the writer's mind, I want to feel I'm walking about in the edges of the individual personality. I don't want to read a story misrepresented from some other culture's folklore, or a story in which mainstream ideology of the last fifty years is presented as myth. Go read Clive Barker. Go read Kenneth Patchen, who was reportedly an unlikeable man but who could write you a fantasy in a couple of lines. Or put "The Gates of Eden" on repeat.

Excellent stuff. My favorite part was this:ReplyDelete
"Substitute imagination for exhaustiveness, and inventiveness for research. As a reader I'm not interested in a "fully worked out" world. I'm not interested in "self consistency". I don't care what kind of underpants Iberian troops wore in 1812, or if I do I can find out about it for myself. I don't want the facts about the Silk Road or the collapse of the Greenland Colony, sugared up & presented in three-volumes as an imaginary world."
When I was a kid, I assumed everything in a novel (although I didn't differentiate those from any other kind of story at the time) was made up. I thought that was the whole point, really. In many ways, I still do.
"When I read fantasy, I read for the bizarre, the wrenched, the undertone of difference & weirdness that defamiliarises the world I know. I want the taste of the writer's mind, I want to feel I'm walking about in the edges of the individual personality."ReplyDelete
Forgive me if I take this comment as an impetus for me to recommend David Ohle's MOTORMAN and THE AGE OF SINATRA. MOTORMAN was published in 1970 or so, and THE AGE OF SINATRA, a sort of sequel, was published a couple of years ago. (MOTORMAN is back in print after having been long unavailable.)
Few books I have read better exemplify the qualities expressed in the quote above. Ohle's world is completely personal, yet accessible, comic, bitter, poetic, outre, wild, and wooly. MOTORMAN is the more dreamlike of the two, THE AGE OF SINATRA more concrete, yet also more richly imagined, more stuffed with grace notes of the bizarre, in the end more amazing.
I highly recommend both books to anyone with an interest in fiction that takes advantage of the power of imaginative invention to CREATE new mental spaces rather than to merely reiterate the prosaic.

Clemson receiver Peake tears ACL, out for season
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 8:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 8:09 p.m.
The golden opportunity for former Dorman standout Charone Peake to become a force in No. 3 Clemson's passing attack ended with a torn ACL suffered during Tuesday's practice.
The school released an announcement Wednesday saying the junior will miss the remainder of this season. Peake was second on the team to Sammy Watkins with both eight receptions and 84 yards. Next Thursday's game at North Carolina State will end a stretch of 29 consecutive games for Peake. Clemson has the opportunity to request a medical redshirt season to gain back a full season of eligibility.
"This is a big loss," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said in the release. "Charone was having a great year and was going to have a great year.
"We are thin at receiver with just six scholarship players now. We like to carry 10 at that position. We have good players, but we don't have a lot of bodies."
Swinney added that Peake, selected to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, an accolade given to the nation's best receiver, was injured in a "simple non-contact drill." The head coach also said former Dorman standout Adam Humphries, who has seven catches for 53 yards this season, would assume Peake's starting role. Freshmen Mike Williams and T.J. Greene could also see a spike in playing time.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Remarkably, Ronald Ross is not angry.
Locked in prison for almost seven years for a crime he never committed, Ross, now free, said he harbors no ill will toward the criminal justice system that wrongfully convicted him of attempted murder.
Ross is not angry at the jury that found him guilty. He's not angry at the police detective whose sloppy investigation made Ross the primary suspect. He's not angry at the witnesses who lied during a trial identifying Ross as the shooter.
"The first year and a half, I was mad until I realized that God do things for a reason," Ross said. "It was just something that happened."
Ross was found guilty of attempted murder in November 2006 after a confluence of errors made him the primary suspect in the shooting of a man who once lived next door to Ross's mother.
Oakland police failed to follow-up on other leads and witnesses lied during Ross's trial convincing a jury that the 51-year-old was guilty.
Ross's attorney, however, was not convinced and immediately contacted the Northern California Innocence Project at the Santa Clara University School of Law after Ross was sent to prison.
The project receives up to 1,000 requests a year for assistance, but its legal director, Linda Starr, said Monday the Ross case stood out.
After speaking to the Oakland resident, project leaders knew Ross was innocent but also knew that the battle to free him would be long and intense.
The project then contacted San Francisco law firm Keker & Van Nest which donated more than 2,000 hours to win Ross's release.
"He is a soft-spoken, gentle soul who is not capable of hurting anyone," Starr said. "He displayed a kind of trusting patience that only an innocent man who knows that someday the truth is going to be revealed has."
After spending his first weekend as a free man since he was arrested in 2006, the Louisiana native spoke of his time in prison and how, while hard, the ordeal saved his life.
Ross said he was a frequent drug user before he was sent to prison and on a path toward death.
"I was out there getting high and stuff and during my early 30s, I would tell people that God would make sure I make it until 50," Ross said. "I got arrested when I was 41 and now I am 51 so that is something to be blessed about.
"It's part of the reason why I was there, because of the statement I made that God will make sure I make it to 50," Ross said.
While in prison, Ross said, he was able to reflect on his life and participate in programs to better himself.
"One day God say I would see the light and I have seen the light," Ross said. "It was something I went through. It wasn't a fun experience, but things happen that way."
Ross said he is a changed person and knows now how to stay out of trouble.
"I'm a whole lot better now because I had time to think about things," he said. "I'm trying to keep my nose clean. A lot of people I had seen before I went to prison are still doing the same activity. I can't go back to that. No way. No more."
Despite what he learned in prison, Ross said it was an experience he would never want to go through again.
"Nooo, nooo, nooo," Ross said when asked if he would return to prison to visit friends he made there or volunteer for programs. "Not even visit."
Ross said he has no immediate plans for his life other than to move back to Louisiana and reconnect with his children and grandchildren.
He also said he would like to work at or create a program to help troubled youth. Ross said he believes he has valuable lessons to teach young people about his experience in prison.
In the meantime, Ross said, he's making sure to take deep breaths every time he steps outside.
"Right now, I'm just trying to get all the fresh air," Ross said. "I'm glad it is over. I can now get on with my life."

Philosophical tragedy! Heart-warming comedy! Lyrical drama! Ingenious tomfoolery! Such are the motley conceptions of what this opera should be, as expressed by the characters from the audience who invade the stage in the Prologue to Sergei Prokofiev's opera. And yet THE LOVE FOR THREE ORANGES, after a play by the Venetian Carlo Gozzi, not only incorporates aspects of all of these genres but also combines tragedy with comedy, poetry with the grotesque and fairytale with satire to produce a grandiose piece of theatre that has wowed audiences around the world since its premiere in 1921.
That this story of a lovelorn prince has become the most beloved of Prokofiev's operas is down not only to its quirky and spirited music, however, but also to the interpretive freedom provided by his rich, visual world with its cast of magicians, fairies and card-playing queens. With audiences free to read the work as fanciful fairytale, shrewd political satire or glamorous revue, it is small wonder that Robert Carsen loves this particular opera. The Canadian director will be familiar to Deutsche Oper Berlin audiences from his stagings of Strauss' ARIADNE ON NAXOS and Verdi's MACBETH. THE LOVE FOR THREE ORANGES, performed here unsurprisingly in the French original, is Carsen's first brand new production at a Berlin opera house.

Rockdale Youth Soccer Association was founded in 1972, as there was no organized soccer in Rockdale County. In 1971, Bob Boggus and Larry Ginder traveled to Dekalb County for their children to play soccer. In February, 1972, a meeting was arranged with Dwight Langley, Bob Boggus, and Larry Ginder to explore the possibility of Rockdale County starting a soccer program. There was no interest at that time. Larry Ginder then placed an ad in the Rockdale Citizen to register soccer players. Forty-six children were registered and RYSA was born.

Last day of the SFR Holiday Sale & a thank you
Today (Jan 1, 2011) is the last day of our Holiday Sale.
This has been our most successful holiday sale by far. We'd like to thank everyone who helped push some very important end-of-year sales for SFR and all of our friends.
After today we will be removing most of the package deals while bringing the album and gear prices back to normal.
Happy new year to the whole Strange Fam. Thanks again for all your support!
The SFR Indie-Hop Holiday Sale is back!
This year we've got more package deals as well as specials and surprises in every department; from CDs to T-Shirts, Hoodies to Vinyl and more.
Click here to check out all of the sales and deals:
Here's a video that Prolyphic filmed and edited. Take a tour of the SFR headquarters while my "Gimme Dat" song (prod. by Buck 65) does its best to subliminally influence you.
During a B. Dolan ustream chat he went on a rant about how we're dismantling his life. This segment was scooped out of the chat video and we added annotations.

I don't know if this is part of the Holiday sale but wow, that Reanimator album is dirt cheap. Leaves me with no excuse for not buying it. I'll tell my brother to get it for my birthday, since it's coming up. This CD sounds like something that'll be a really nice listen in the cold, snowy winter days.

Yeah, we lowered the price of a lot of things. And the Reanimator sale is one we brought attention to before the Holiday sale. It's definitely worth scooping up based on curiosity and cheapness alone. And then you can thank us once you've given the album a listen. Criminally slept-on album.

I'm getting the Reanimator. I hope it comes here before Christmas (whenever I order something from the States, once it reaches Poland, the package spends 2 weeks in customs or whatever before it can continue on its way to my house. I kinda hate it).

USDA Creates New Biomass Production Projects
The biofuels potential of non-food plants such as prairie cordgrass will get a boost from a new USDA program.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on July 26 the creation of four additional Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) project areas in six states. The move will expand the availability of non-food crops for use in the manufacturing of liquid biofuels. USDA has allocated up to $45 million for contracts that range between less than five years and up to 15 years. Acres will be set aside acres in California, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Washington for the production of renewable energy crops that will provide the feedstocks to produce more than 2 million gallons of biofuels annually.
Two of the new BCAP project areas, targeted for California, Montana, Washington, and Oregon, will grow camelina at a significant scale. Camelina, an oilseed that can be a jet fuel substitute, is a rotation crop for wheat that can be established on marginally productive land. Another project area will encourage growth of hybrid poplar trees in Oregon on up to 7,000 acres. Additionally, a BCAP project area in Kansas and Oklahoma has been designated to grow up to 20,000 acres of switchgrass.
BCAP helps farmers and forest landowners with the start-up costs of planting non-food energy crops for conversion to heat, power, bio-based products, and advanced biofuels. The program is designed to ensure sufficient biomass is available to reduce America's reliance on foreign oil, improve domestic energy security, reduce pollution, and spur rural economic development and job creation. The deadline to sign up for the project is September 16. See the USDA press release and the BCAP Web page.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team will lead off the 2012 season in the newly renovated Chapman Field on Friday night, hosting the Nebraska Omaha Mavs in a four-game set slated for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The teams will play a single game on Friday at 6 p.m., a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday and single game at 1 p.m. on Sunday to round out the weekend.
The series will mark the first time under the lights at Chapman Field in program history, with the newly constructed light standards completing a multi-million dollar renovation that saw seating capacity grow to nearly 700 behind home plate, with additional room for patrons down the foul lines and on the outfield berm. One of the biggest improvements has been the playing surface itself, with a newly leveled field and improved drainage being big components of the renovations.
The anticipation for the open of the season is off the charts, with the new additions adding to the home atmosphere. Head coach Scott Malone told his team in the final practice before the start of the year that he expects the Islanders to match the intensity of a team that was able to get outside on a field for the first time on Thursday.
"As it comes down to this weekend, one thing we talked about before practice started today, that Thursday before is usually a lighter workout," said Malone. "But, I talked to my players about matching intensity because for UNO, getting outside today might be kind of like the Superbowl.
"There's no snow on the ground, no bitter chill in the air. Those guys are going to be bouncing off the walls when they get off that bus and get out here to practice. I wanted to make sure, even though it is Thursday, that we were bouncing off the walls too, that we had that confidence."
UNO returns 22 players from a team that went 35-20 during the 2011 campaign under head coach Bob Herold. During the season, Herold passed the 400 win plateau and now sits at 408 wins while leading the Mavs. They are reclassifying to Division I, moving up from the DII level where they competed in the MIAA.
"Unbelievably successful program, their head coach has over 400 wins at UNO, they went 35-20 last year," said Malone. "You know we went 37-24, set a school record for wins. Those guys going 35-20 on the Division II level, that's just another good year.
"Now, how that translates to the DI level, that's what I'm sure they are looking forward to find out this weekend."
The Islanders will see a familiar face in a new role on the mound tomorrow, with former reliever Adam Hoelscher occupying the No. 1 starter spot to begin the year. He will face off against the Mavs in the first game of the year when the Islanders face UNO for the first time in program history.
The Islanders will return the top two relievers from a year ago, with Phillip Garcia and Michael Boyle combining for 13 saves a year ago.
Offensively, Texas A&M – Corpus Christi returns starting second basemen Jeramie Marek and catcher Santiago Ruiz, who both hit over .300 a year ago. Marek has the top returning average at .328 and Ruiz is close behind with a .311 average at the plate.
Bobby Buckner is project as the starting left fielder and carries a .298 average from a year ago into the season. Returner Dan Sciantarelli is projected as the starting third baseman while Weston Montgomery and Drew Vest will split time at the shortstop position.
Newcomers Stafford Brantley, Kyle Danford, Eric Weiss and Jordan Lee will all battle for starting sports in the outfield while another new face, Brad Porras, will see time at first base. In the designated hitter role, transfer Jonathan Gonzales will see action, along with returners Marc Damon and Omar Garcia.
In addition to Hoelscher starting the first game, the projected rotation for the weekend will be Tim Keller in game two, Jake Dziubczynski in game three and Trevor Foss tossing the finale.
Out of the bullpen, Jacob Dorris, Tanner Green and Franco Pace will be the first three arms in relief.
"For me, from the head coach position, I try to make it easy on my demands for a pitching staff," said Malone. "One, throw strikes with good tempo, you know, play catch over the plate with good tempo and keep our outstanding defense engaged in the game.
"Two, let's throw strikes in the bottom of the zone, let's force the team to hit the ball on the ground, because again, I think we can play really good defense, and obviously, lastly, let's change speeds and try to keep those guys off balance."
That strategy will be in play starting at 6 p.m. on Friday night as Hoelscher and the Islanders kick off what hopes to be another record-setting year.

The Perfect Posture for a Pain-Free Pregnancy
Over my career I have worked with thousands of postpartum women who are chasing after the body they had pre-pregnancy. After one, two or several kids, a laundry list of body complaints plagues them:
- Diastasis recti – a soft-tissue split that occurs down the middle of the rectus and does not reconnect
- Clicking or painful SI (sacro-iliac) joints
- Peeing while sneezing, aka, "Snissing"
- Low back pain
- A feeling of disconnect from the core
This is just a short list of some of the common after-effects of child-bearing. I know from my students' own stories that my Yoga Tune Up® approach has helped them to awaken their bodies, heal birth traumas and bring a greater sense of body peace than they had pre-pregnancy. I developed my approach through years of experimentation, study and listening to my students and experts.
But I had not yet been through the rite of passage of pregnancy myself. Until now. I am expecting in late February!
