HTC One X for AT&T ReviewHTC One X AT&T 8.5
AT&T is literally on fire! And why's that you ask? Well, in the last few months alone, we've been seeing the carrier getting in with some big name smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE, Nokia Lumia 900, and HTC Titan II. Needless to say, it's arguable as to which one is deemed as the best of the bunch, but AT&T isn't letting down one bit whatsoever with its selection – that's because the mightiest one is about to set things ablaze with its piercing set of features.
Arriving on May 6th for the 2-year contract price of $199.99, the modified HTC One X for AT&T is already shaping out to give its closest Android competitor in the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE a good run for its money. Concurrently, it's also going to give AT&T's newly minted Windows Phone something to worry about as well, as it's filled to the roof with specs that seem to be vastly superior. Certainly, T-Mobile customers are getting their fill with the HTC One S, but with AT&T's upcoming beauty, it brings forth HTC's mightiest offering to our shores, so let's find out if this LTE enabled smartphone can raise the standards for everyone else.
The package contains:
microUSB cable
Wall Charger
Quick Start Guide
Product and Safety Information
Honestly, there's barely any noticeable differences with the design of AT&T's version of the HTC One X – albeit, it's a hairline longer (5.31 inches versus 5.29 inches) and lighter (129 grams versus 130 grams) than the international version we reviewed not too long ago. Additionally, rather than finding the manufacturer's name beneath the earpiece, it's bearing AT&T's logo and name instead. Aside from those items, the two smartphones are nearly identical to one another!
Again, we have to give props to the folks over at HTC for concocting a magnificent smartphone that combines a stunning design and something that's comfortable to handle. Utilizing the same pristine white polycarbonate body as before, which does wonders in keeping it clean looking and dirt free, it also adds enough durability to withstand the normal wear and tear we tend to put it through. Certainly, it's still a larger than other handsets, but it's nice that they've carefully made good use of every nook and cranny without adding too much excess bulk. If that's not enough, the sides of the handset and display are contoured perfectly to result in a comfortable feel in the hand. Indeed, it might not be perceived as the most premium constructed device we've seen from HTC, but nevertheless, it simply feels incredibly solid and fine to the touch.
You can compare the HTC One X with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.
HTC has decided to stick with capacitive keys under the display, rather than on-screen ones. On one hand, this leaves more space to display the interface at any time, but on the other, accidental presses are more likely. Above the screen is where you'll see the 1.3MP front-facing camera.
Like before, the microUSB port stands apart from most things on the left edge of the handset, since it doesn't quite blend in with the all-white and uniform body of the handset. On the right is the volume rocker. It reacts OK when pressed, though the volume down key could have used a bit more travel. On the top of the HTC One X sits the power/lock key, which is placed at a weird angle that doesn't allow for a natural feel with our finger – and to top it off, it feels a bit stiff to the touch. Right behind that is microSIM tray, which is ejected in the same way that you eject the iPhone's microSIM tray – with a special tool, or, if you are a professional, with a clip. Finally, the primary microphone is the only thing we find on the bottom edge.
In the rear, the handset's 8-megapixel ImageSense camera is the only noticeable protrusion on the body, but as we take a closer look, the lens is actually sunken in so that it doesn't come in contact with surfaces when it's resting on its back. Meanwhile, surrounding the camera is the same contrasting gray color with the LED flash nearby, which some might find distracting. Towards the bottom edge, microdots converge in a unison assembly to make out the smartphone's speaker grill, while dock connectors are positioned towards the lower right side.
The gigantic 4.7" display of the HTC One X is very good-looking. Not only is it big enough to let you fully enjoy your videos, but it also has this great resolution of 720x1280 pixels. This means the pixel density comes in at 312 ppi, making it very hard to spot an individual pixel. The screen uses the so-called Super-LCD 2 (it uses IPS) technology, which is said to bring better viewing angles and less glare, compared to traditional S-LCD panels. We did find the viewing angles to be pretty good with this device, although the glare was about equal to what you get on other premium smartphones. The screen also treats us to some very saturated colors. Actually, it's much closer to AMOLED, rather than LCD displays in this respect, which isn't a bad thing. In some situations, its colors might seem a bit too saturated, but in most of the cases, the visuals that it produces are extremely pleasant. For those who still care, the pixels of the display are arranged in a standard RGB matrix, so no PenTile here.

I'll pass :-) S3
34. LOLTHISisIT (Posts: 3; Member since: 01 May 2012)
OK OK so let me get this straight: the phone is "supposed" to be top notch, I mean it literally is the next gen phone BUT...
1. it lags and have blinking problems when online
2. have mediocre earpiece and speakers
3. even though the dual core s4 is suppose to be next gen chips it is just OK in performance
4. operation time can't even beat the razr maxx???
5. and camera is just MEHHH
my 1 year old sg2 could do better lol
IDK??? IDK how people could be excited over this??? seems like a POS that should have been out last season
AND let us all hope when the gs3 come out it will be ALOT better than this since the sad rumor have it that gs3 will have the same chip
36. DechyX (Posts: 132; Member since: 16 May 2011)
It's just personal preference I guess, what may excite you, i.e. the Galaxy SIII may not excite someone else... I for one am not even slightly concerned with any phone Samsung puts out (been burned too many times)
39. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Razr Maxx has a huge 3300MAh battery no phone can compete with that no matter how tiny the die process with a 1800MAh battery, use some common sense!!
The S4 is actually better than the Tegra 3 in performance check out engadget's performance scores comparing it to the international One X;
The rest are valid points. I'm also waiting to see what Samsung has in store for us Thursday its been too long a wait
45. LOLTHISisIT (Posts: 3; Member since: 01 May 2012)
lol I know the razr maxx has a god-like battery but that was last gen phone. I can't beleive that since this is nexy gen tech it still can't at least be on par.
As for the TEGRA 3 well who gives a sh1t about that POS all nvidia want to do is be the First to bring something new out and it has always been the 1st to fail. But than again the POS in the evo 3d went south even quicker.
I'm praying to the smartphone gods that the gs3 won't use any crapdragons
46. Deicide (Posts: 82; Member since: 02 Jul 2011)
S3 will not use any Snapdragons since Samsung has explicitly stated that the Exynos 4412 and Exynos 5215 will have LTE out-of-the-box. The only reason why the American variations used the S3 was for data speeds which was stupid,the only one that didn't was the one for AT&T(SGH-i777). And dude RAZR Maxx has a big battery, but you could always source one from Mugen or Anker that can go higher to 4500mAH, oh and must I say that I can open the back of my phone, and use w/e size of battery I would like. And Benchmarks don't equate to real world performance. I would wait until next year, when manufacturers start producing A15 Quad Cores with GPUs that match the XBOX 360's.
47. OHscrewTHIS (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 May 2012)
actually the gs3 in korea has exynos AND it has lte so what gives???
worst case scenario exynos won't be lte ready next year either for the SGS4??? and we will be stuck with crapdragons again.
As for real world performance: IDK just watch the review on yotube for the one x and there are lags when view webpages with flash especially when zooming in and out. Not even as smooth as the gs2.
49. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
That's the fault of poorly coded software with pure Android or even Touchwiz I'd expect the S4 to perform flawlessly,more benchmarking proof:
51. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Sprints version of the sgs2 didn't use a crapdragon/
48. Forsaken77 (Posts: 553; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
Bout time. HTC has been resting on their laurels since the og Evo. Too bad it came out right before the S3. Great phone, terrible timing.
2. snowgator (Posts: 3583; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Really solid effort. I do not see it as a Galaxy Note competitor as just a monster smart phone in this day and age of monster smart phones. Large screen is the rage, and this is capitalizing on that.

"AT&T is literally on fire!"
I don't think you know what literally means
24. gragonHDfones (unregistered)
I agree, but it's still the worst phone company out there, as in the company itself, they are getting the best phones, well not the best but good phones after another.

Thanks you John for being fair in this review, can we please have a comparison between the Lumia 900 and the Samsung Focus S? Also, how many hours of web browsing can I get on the S4 version of the One X on WiFi?
15. John.V (Posts: 99; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Well, in my own personal experience I managed to get at least a single day of normal usage on a full charge - though, that's with HSPA+ connectivity. I'd imagine you'd get ample time, as long as you simply turn off the cell connection and strictly use Wi-Fi.
21. cellphonator (Posts: 298; Member since: 29 Oct 2011)
I own the One S and I'm not getting a full day with normal use, what the hell am I doing wrong? Brightness is low, Bluetooth is off, GPS is off...what else can i do?
22. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Download BetterBatteryStats and check partial wakelocks.
The One S should be getting great battery life.
26. cellphonator (Posts: 298; Member since: 29 Oct 2011)
That's one of the reasons I bought it! I just downloaded BBS, let's see if it can help the cause, thanks.
23. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
depends what apps you use, what games you play, adds in games kill the battery alot. You aren't doing something right for sure, i get a full day (+ more) with my HTC Desire, from 8:00am-11pm. thats with about 1 hour browsing, 30 minutes games, 1 hour of music, and around 40 text messages a day. (and i normally browse, listen to music and text at the same time). Do you browse the web a lot? Displaying white screens on amoled displays drains the battery, its a trade off for being great on battery displying black
28. cellphonator (Posts: 298; Member since: 29 Oct 2011)
I'm not playing games, the only one I have it FIFA 12 which is not working, (it's displaying some kind of error at launch and many people are experiencing the same with no solution for now, btw), I'm browsing web, about 10 texts a day, no music, I have a dark metal look as a wallpaper (part of HTC standard wallpapers).
I have to work on experimenting solutions, I know I'm doing something wrong, this phone suppose to have a good battery. Thanks for the input.
59. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
something wrong with the phone then, take it in

I know it's lame to talk crap on the internet for people's poor grammar but dude, seriously, do not EVER use the word literally ever again. I LITERALLY thought AT&T was on fire.
14. thedarkside (Posts: 652; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
i LITERALLY blew my load when i saw this phone. LITERALLY LITERALLY LITERALLY!!! sorry, i had to do it.

smart A$$ huh???? go crawl into the cave you came out off LITERALLY!!!

44. rawbow (Posts: 428; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
This just shows that people who are stuck up about grammar and stuff are literally low on common sense. I say this because when we say "that chick is hot" , i hope you literally don't run after her with a thermometer coz that would literally suck.
7. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
This is great except for the storage.
8. johamsandwich (Posts: 31; Member since: 18 Apr 2012)
Thanks for the review! This is a good way to gauge the EVO LTE.
Now to wait if getting the S3 is worth getting out of Sprint :P
16. John.V (Posts: 99; Member since: 27 May 2011)
I'm skeptical about the mashup of colors in use with the EVO 4G LTE. From what I saw, it had three different color schemes going on - so yeah, we'll see how that fares versus this pristine beauty.
40. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Eh, that's the same mashup of colors that's always been used in the Evo line: red, black, and silver.
I've always been puzzled by their choice of red though; it seems way too Verizon-ish. At the risk of making the handset look like a gigantic bee, I think it would be a better show of Sprint solidarity to go with yellow and black instead.
55. johamsandwich (Posts: 31; Member since: 18 Apr 2012)
Glossy white front, yellow-gold kickstand, and matte black on the back would be amazing.
9. jeroome86 (Posts: 1115; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
Will Samsung bring something better to the table ? And is it worth waiting on?
20. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i'd say to wait. you'll probably know what you'll want to do at the end of this week unless you're on Verizon and you feel like waiting for the Droid Razr MAXX HD.
12. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Bad battery again...
13. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Battery life is actually quite good apparently.
4 hours of screen on time should be doable.

25. gragonHDfones (unregistered)
Yea I agree
27. KEVlN (Posts: 83; Member since: 19 Aug 2011)
I need an opinion. Should I exchange for this or keep my galaxy note? Browsing, gaming, and music are a big deal for me and I love the huge screen on the note. 4.7 sounds good but I'm not sure if I'll like it as much as thegalaxy notes display. I'm so confused and the 7th is the last day I can switch. Also, I got the note at a discount because of a mishap on my account so I only paid $149.99. So I'll be adding money for the one x. Is it worth it?
29. KEVlN (Posts: 83; Member since: 19 Aug 2011)
Also does anyone know if this comes with earphones?
30. androidsbiggestfan (Posts: 76; Member since: 09 Aug 2011)
It does not state that they are included in the box. It looks awesome from this article and everything else I've seen on it. I think it would be worth exchanging the Galaxy Note for this device!
37. DechyX (Posts: 132; Member since: 16 May 2011)
If I could get a Note for 150 I'd have one now... I'd keep it. Though the Beats Audio is an advantage of the One X over the Note since you like music.
41. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
I'd definitely take the One X, if only for the MAJOR boost in processing power.
54. johamsandwich (Posts: 31; Member since: 18 Apr 2012)
You have to remind yourself that while the One X has a better CPU, it doesn't have a microsd slot and the batteries are nonremovable.
If it was me, I would just stick with the Note.
And as far as Beats Audio goes, you can just buy a DSP app on the market so you can mess with your EQs to your liking.

I like the extra row arrow. It make it easier to change or edit text on a touch screen maybe it is not for everyone. The good thing is the 2 out of the 3 negative you can change.
42. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Agreed. The directional arrows on my Evo have been a godsend over the last couple years.

Debating on whether to get the AT&T or the International version is painful!!
43. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
57 on NenaMark2!
That's an amazing result, far better than ULPGeForce on Tegra 3.
Seems like Adreno 225 is one fine GPU.

53. bustervic (Posts: 26; Member since: 13 Feb 2012)
I am starting to think HTC is paying people to review...
Honest feedback I have seen from HOFO and XDA, battery life is in the 12-14 hr range under regular usage, the matte finish is prone to scufffing, scratches, the pic quality is decent under good light (albiet soft) and terribly grainy under low light, video recording is fine but not as advertised for sure.
And I can't seem to understand how just under 10gb of usable space on a flagship is tolerated. If this was any other manufacturer reviewers would roast them, but for some reason it barely gets mention here...
57. zerglisk (Posts: 544; Member since: 09 Feb 2010)
Damn at&t making it 16GB with only about 9.93GB left for users is super lame. I think at&t purposely does it so customers are "forced" to increase their data plan (ie. from 3GB to 5GB).
I would definitely get it right away if it has 32GB built-in storage.
I guess I might have to give Samsung Galaxy S3 a try... although I love Sense UI from hTC.

Then she demonstrates how to thread-trace and sew a traditional bound buttonhole. If your garment has a facing, you'll see how to make the accompanying opening.
Finish up your garment with two popular, enclosed seams -- flat-felled and French -- and learn how to create a quick and easy hem on straight and curved edges. No pins required!
Praise for Janey Pray's earlier class, Sew Better, Sew Faster: Garment Industry Secrets:
"I have lots of videos of factory techniques, but none that compares to Janet's Craftsy class. I had a chambray shirt cut out when I signed up, so I used her techniques to sew it. It was so nice to be able to go back and replay the techniques as I went along. I am so proud of the way the shirt turned out. The shirt is so professional looking and by the end of the sewing I had mastered sewing with no (or just a couple of ) pins, needle-distance-away stitching and topstitching. ... the videos are very clear and the techniques were easy to do. All in all, a class worth every penny! Thanks, Janet!"

Remembrance: 1912 South Pole Trip Ends Tragically
One hundred years ago this week, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott reached the South Pole with a small crew of men. They all perished on the return trip. In 2008 on Weekend Edition, NPR's Daniel Zwerdling reported from the South Pole on Scott's tragic journey. To mark the 100th anniversary, we reprise that story.

Purchased from Oronzio Lelli, Florence in 1882 for £2 1s 8d
St Augustine
Lorenzo Ghiberti (1378/81-1455)
Gilt bronze
On the North door of the Baptistry of S. Giovanni, Florence, Italy
In 1401, the Arte dei Mercantanti di Calimala (the guild of the merchants dealing in foreign cloth and exporting cloth) decided to commission a second bronze door for the Baptistry of Florence, to accompany the door completed by Andrea Pisano (about 1295-1348/9) in 1336. A competition was held for which seven entrants submitted trial reliefs of The Sacrifice of Isaac. Lorenzo Giberti's entry was chosen in preference to that of his nearest rival, Filippo Brunelleschi. On 23 November 1403, the contract for the door was allotted to Ghiberti and his father, Bartolo di Michele, and the door was executed between 1403 and 1424. The format was intended to harmonize with that of the earlier door, comprising a similar scheme of twenty-eight panels, each containing a quatre-foil. The twenty upper reliefs containing scenes from the New Testament, and the eight lower panels containing single figures of the Evangelists and Church Fathers, complement Andrea Pisano's scheme of twenty scenes from the life of St John the Baptist above eight figures of Virtues. Ghiberti slightly altered the proportions of the panels, and replaced Andrea Pisano's dividing lattice of studs and rosettes with a rich foliate ornament. On Easter Sunday (19 April) 1424, the doors were set up at the East entrance to the Baptistry, facing the Cathedral. In 1452, they were moved to their present location, the North Entrance, when they were supplanted by Ghiberti's second bronze door, the Gates of Paradise.

German violinist Augustin Hadelich, who now lives in New York City, has a close tie to Buffalo. He is in possession of the Stradivarius violin known as the "Ex-Kiesewetter," one of three priceless instruments owned by Buffalo philanthropists Clement and Karen Arrison. The Arrisons lend their violins to promising violinists through the Stradivarius Society of Chicago. The Ex-Kiesewetter, named for a German master who owned it centuries ago, was until recently on loan to the immensely talented Russian-born violinist Philippe Quint.
The drama fits in poignantly with Hadelich's life. Born in 1984, he was 15 when he was badly burned when tractor fuel caught fire on his parents' farm in Italy. The burns covered the upper half of his body, including his arms, and a doctor told him he would probably never play the violin again.
He persevered, though, and miraculously bounced back. Now he is considered one of the world's foremost young violinists. He has a style that is beautifully delicate and capable of great emotion, gifts that can only speak more eloquently thanks to the invaluable instrument he now holds in his hands.
Hadelich and the Stradivarius will perform the famous and romantic Violin Concerto of Johannes Brahms. The concert begins with "The Chairman Dances," John Adams' "foxtrot for orchestra." It culminates in Dvorak's Symphony No. 7.
– Mary Kunz Goldman
Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra with violinist Augustin Hadelich – When: 8 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Where: Kleinhans Music Hall. Admission: $27-$74. Info: 885-5000.

The ski areas around Gstaad are known for their gentle terrain and enjoyable descents. However, the pistes in the vicinity of the distinctive and jagged Le Rubli are somewhat different. They are located in an almost Alpine landscape and place higher demands on skiers. For all this, the Videmanette Piste is by no means an insurmountable challenge. The upper third is marked in red, and the rest in blue. Hence, less experienced skiers can also have fun out on these slopes.

Country must preserve communication network
One of the few provisions mandated by our U.S. Constitution is the maintenance of a postal network. Our Founding Fathers knew that the creation of a communications link for all Americans is central to our democracy. There are those who say that the Postal Service is outdated in this modern world, a contention that is simply not true.
The physical network of the USPS, visiting every home and business six days per week, is an item of infrastructure that is incredibly valuable and should be protected and expanded. The explosion in the parcel business for the Postal Service may lead to seven-day delivery for parcels, but we need to keep other types of mail at six days. If Congress stops the federal government from raiding USPS profits, there is no need to cut service, which by itself will drive away more business.
However, let's go beyond that physical network and adapt the Postal Service to 21st century technology. If it is supposed to be the universal communications link, Congress should reform the USPS to allow it to create a nationwide high-speed Internet service. It could be done at a far cheaper rate than Time-Warner, Verizon and all the others who are allowed to gouge the consumer. It could be the electronic equivalent of charging 46 cents to send a letter across the country.
That combination of 21st century technology, the physical network of the greatest delivery system in the world and the freedom to operate for the good of the American people will ensure a healthy Postal Service for many decades to come.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Five things to look for as Penn State tries to build some confidence and avoid the disappointment of an 0-2 start at Virginia.
No. 1: Stay on the field
As safety Malcolm Willis said this week, "The depth is the depth. We have to deal with what we have."
It's only week two, but it's already obvious the Nittany Lions don't have enough quality players to overcome even a few injuries. They have to keep the starters on the field to have a chance.
Bill O'Brien said the team is in good condition and that the players weren't worked too hard in training camp. But for whatever reason, Ohio's players didn't have the same issues PSU's guys did on a hot day at Beaver Stadium.
It will be hot again today (80 degrees), so cramping and hamstrings could be an issue for either team. We've heard so much about PSU's new strength and conditioning program, and now we need to see it be effective on the field.
There's good news and bad news on the injury front. Cornerback Stephon Morris (ankle) has been practicing and is expected to play, but tailback Bill Belton (ankle) did not make the trip. Derek Day, a former walk-on, will get the start at tailback
No. 2: Get off the field
Penn State's defense couldn't do this on third down against Ohio, which converted 11-of-12 chances in the second half.
It's almost impossible to win giving up that kind of ratio.
Reason No. 1 above was part of the reason for the defensive troubles as Morris and linebacker Gerald Hodges (leg) missed time with injuries. So while it's easy to say the defense has to get stops, it needs to be pointed out that a defense playing backups probably will have a tough time doing that.
Were the injuries a case of fatigue? Maybe not. But the fatigue definitely was brought on because injuries depleted the defense.
No. 3: Pressure the QB
The front seven must get to Virginia quarterback Michael Rocco, which will be tough to do against a massive offensive line that averages 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds.
Rocco doesn't do as many three-step drops, which give PSU trouble, so the rushers should have a bit more time to pressure him. Any decent quarterback who has a lot of time to throw should be able to have success against the Lions' secondary, so the front seven can't allow that to happen.
No. 4: Make adjustments
Ohio outcoached Penn State last week.
O'Brien made it clear immediately after the game that he and his staff need to do a better job of coaching, and while he may have been a little hard on himself - the players were the ones not making plays - the Bobcats' coaches put their players in better position with good adjustments in the second half.
The short passing game worked in the first half for Matt McGloin, but when Ohio took those routes away, the Lions struggled. Look for Virginia to concentrate on jamming the receivers or at least playing tighter coverage and forcing McGloin to look downfield more.
If that takes away what O'Brien wants to do offensively, he will have to come up with a plan B, something that did not happen last week.
Defensive coordinator Ted Roof didn't appear to make any adjustments in the second half to try and stop Ohio. Some nickel packages could be in the works this week.
No. 5: Player to watch
This may seem like an odd choice, but if PSU is going to win, it would be in a close game. That means Sam Ficken will have to make two or three clutch field goals, something the first-year starter has never done in his career.
The Lions should be able to move the ball well, but that doesn't mean their red-zone offense will be refined enough to get seven points. They'll have to get at least three on those drives.
Prediction: Virginia 24, Penn State 17.

The Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog has tagged me with a challenge to post about my water drinking container.
As I am now limiting my use of bottled water (see a good post about it here from Flip Flop Mamma) I drink out of a glass most of the time- always with ice!- and I love this glass in particular!
I am a thirsty girl. I often keep water by the bed because I will wake so incredibly thirsty. And there is nothing like quenching that thirst, especially when it is water you are drinking. I am known for my morning glass of iced chai tea with rice milk, and I drink it out of this same glass... it's my favorite!
And all this talk about quenching thirst, I just have to throw in a verse that I will totally take in for today-
Isaiah 44:3 For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my Spirit upon your descendants, and my blessing on your children.
I challenge nursing moms Sheryl at Peanut Butter & Jelly Boats, Robin at Life With All Boys, and Staci at Just Add Coffee to post about their water containers... and if you want to join in, too, please do!

Since mid-summer, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has been trying to find out just what it is that "Obamacare," the national health care law, requires our state to do. Tomblin is not alone; officials in many other states want answers, too.
They have not been forthcoming from U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. There are two possibilities for her silence:
1. She doesn't know.
2. She and her boss, President Barack Obama, are waiting until after the election to drop the boom on West Virginia, Ohio and other states where taxpayers simply can't afford to pay for more entitlements.
One of the key requirements in Obamacare is that states vastly increase the number of people eligible for Medicaid. Here in West Virginia, that could cost the state as much as $200 million more a year. That would be on top of spending for the current Medicaid program that has chewed a huge hole in the state's budget.
Merely to pay bills for Medicaid as it is will require 7.5 percent spending cuts in many state programs, Tomblin has estimated. To his credit, he's already told agency heads to plan for that.
This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Medicaid expansion facet of Obamacare - but struck down Washington's ability to, in effect, fine states that refuse to go along with it. Still, the requirement is in the law and officials in all 50 states have to decide whether to comply with it.
State officials want answers on a variety of Obamacare-related questions. But Sebelius has not provided any guidance that would help Tomblin and legislators decide what we must do and what types of penalties other than the financial ones rejected by the high court might be employed by the Obama administration if we say West Virginia simply cannot afford full compliance.
My guess is Sebelius and Obama know very well how they're going to respond to the governors - and will tell them a few days after the Nov. 6 election. And it wouldn't surprise me if the White House takes a hard, expensive line with the states: Do it or else we'll make your states' lives miserable in any number of ways.
Tomblin already has said he'd like to help low-income West Virginians who want Medicaid coverage - but won't do anything the state can't afford. There's a way to lessen the gap between what we want and what we can afford, if Obama and Sebelius will allow it.
When U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., was in town the other day, I reminded him of the Mountain Health Choices program his administration established when he was governor. He smiled, somewhat ruefully.
That was because Mountain Health Choices was a great idea to curb Medicaid spending and improve the health of people on the program - but it was shot down after federal officials and in-state liberals complained it was somehow unfair.
Mountain Health Choices was a program for which Medicaid recipients could sign up, but were not required to follow. In exchange for their agreement to abide by MHC rules, clients received enhanced Medicaid benefits.
The rules boiled down to choosing a family doctor, doing what he or she recommended, keeping health care appointments and not using emergency rooms or clinics for non-emergency situations. Manchin believed, with good reason, that it would improve the lives of many Medicaid recipients and, by making them healthier, would reduce costs for the program.
Again, however, it was scrapped - leading, in part, to the higher Medicaid costs we're now having trouble financing.
A national-scale program like MHC could make it easier for states to cover more people under Medicaid. But will Sebelius and Obama allow it?
For now, they aren't saying. Unfortunately, that probably means the answer is no.

He knew by the time he was 12 that he wanted to be a surgeon. "I like working with my hands a lot," says Dr. Gerald Warren. "I also like seeing a problem and making it better." After graduating from St. Andrews High School, he went to The Citadel, where success demanded hard work, and continued on at the Medical University of South Carolina. During his first year in medical school, he married Torey, his high school sweetheart. (She went to rival Middleton High, and they met on a blind date.) After his residency in Wilmington, NC, they returned home to the Lowcounty and raised their three children as Dr. Warren built his practice through Summerville Surgical Associates. He was one of the first to perform surgery at Summerville Medical Center (SMC), and more than two decades later, he continues to do general and laparoscopic procedures, including gallbladder, appendix and hernia removal, as well as cancer and bowel surgery.

Just days before the cheating scandal erupted, Kristen Stewart said she knew a lot of actors who could affect an artificial public persona – but she wasn't one of them.
"I don't like people like that," Stewart told Entertainment Weekly at San Diego's Comic-Con in mid-July. "People who are a complete non-person but somehow through the lens seem like they are on and interesting and engaged. ... I don't want anyone leaving and saying, 'God, that girl is so fake.' "
She added: "People tell me to make it easier on myself and to play a character when I go out on carpets and stuff. But you know what? I'd rather be me."
Stewart was interviewed by EW while sitting next to Pattinson and their costar Taylor Lautner to promote the latest Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn: Part 2.
The magazine reports, "Nothing seemed amiss" and that the trio "were particularly relaxed."
About 10 days later, Stewart, 22, admitted to cheating on Robert Pattinson, 26 with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director.

Players portray Bettman and the owners as being bad and wrong for locking out the players (and fans) and they are right
Why are the owners wrong for not wanting 18 of their franchises to lose money? We can blame the owners of those teams for handing out huge stupid contracts (And I really do) but in the end it has to be fixed or the league will lose franchises which in turn equals less revenue, less jobs for players and no big TV conract.
This is why this lock-out makes me so mad. The owners were stupid and the players are greedy and have lost touch with reality.

MOLINE — Harnesses and other safety equipment are being credited with saving the lives of two men who found themselves stranded in a bucket lift 120 feet in the air in northwestern Illinois.
Moline Fire Department spokesman Jim Versluis tells The (Moline) Dispatch that without the training and safety gear the two men would have fallen to the ground during the project Thursday at a Lutheran church.
Officials say the workers were preparing to caulk the church tower when the machine's hydraulics failed, and the bucket began falling and tilting.

who do you think would win in a fight to the death???and this does not include batossai.give me your thoughts.or if you can think of anyother good matches go ahaed and put them on here. your friend yoshimitsu23
And Shepherds we shall be.For thee, my Lord, for thee.Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.So we shall flow a river forth to theeAnd teeming with souls shall it ever be
Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
kenshin was not created from a real character,jubai was.jubei was one of the greatest swordsmen in japan.just like yoshimitsu....the only difference between them were that yoshimitsu was a bloodthirsty half oni,don't forget power hungery,swordsman,jubei was not.also theres a myth that jubei lost his eye to yoshimitsu....but i don't know the facts on that.all in all i would say that jubei would win.p.s.i was not including battosai on that.i ment just kenshin to think is to know....but to know is all ,at least that is what some might say...
kenshin himura was loosely based off of kawanmi gensai one of the four hitokiri of the meiji revolution. as was udo jinei, izo okada (although the final concept was nothing like the real guy). watsuki used these historical figures as inspiration whereas the creators of ninja scroll according to u used a actual historical figure as the protaganist of the story. the reason i didn't think kenshin would win is that he isn't bloodthristy and battousai is his more powerful half.if he could use the final move of the hiten style then he might have a chance. "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
How about kenshin versus the afro-samurai?
That would be an interesting fight to watch.
Jubei beat the 8 devils of kimon in the movie kenshin has taken on many strong opponets and won. I think it would be a draw. Lone wolf and cub vs the samurai excutioner or the samurai from sword for truth shuronosuki sakaki.
well if kenshin can't be battousai then jubei i think would win. "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
what u me talkin about
wat? "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
If Kenshi could be the batossai then it would be no contest he would win, but if he couldn't it would be the exact opposite.
Kenshin Hiruma is the former Hitokiri Battousai.

The triggers and buttons look complicated to use, and yet elegantly designed for their intended purposes.
But grasping a video game controller and operating a firearm remain two distinctly different operations, despite their similarity being called into question following mass shooting events across the nation.
"Games have been getting increasingly violent for a long time," said Eric Charles, an assistant professor of psychology at Penn State Altoona. "There is an incredibly long history of people who believe that violent video games can lead to violent behavior."
Article Photos
Last month, the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn., claimed the lives of 20 elementary school students and six teachers.
In the wake of confusion after the attack, the shooter was misidentified by major news networks as the suspected shooter's brother. The brother - who had nothing to do with the shooting, police said - was discovered to be a fan of the role playing video game "Mass Effect."
Subsequently, the public Facebook profile for the mature-rated video game was vandalized and largely blamed as an influential factor in the shooting.
On a national stage, representatives from the National Rifle Association have singled out video game and movie violence as influential factors in mass shootings across the nation.
Despite the call to curtail violence in games, researchers contend the link between violent games and violent behavior remains largely unknown - and proficiency with a video game controller does not equate to malicious intent or skill with a weapon.
Games under fire
In the National Rifle Association's first public address in the wake of the Newtown shooting, Wayne LaPierre, NRA spokesman, proposed sweeping changes on the national level as counter-measures to increased gun violence.
LaPierre specifically depicted violent films and video games as a form of "violent pornography" influencing the nation's youth.
"And here's another dirty little truth that the media try their best to conceal: There exists in this country a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells, and sows, violence against its own people," LaPierre said. "Through vicious, violent video games with names like 'Bulletstorm,' 'Grand Theft Auto,' 'Mortal Kombat' and 'Splatterhouse.'"
The games LaPierre referenced are all rated "M for Mature" by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, the video game industry's independent rating authority.
The rating system was created in 1994 and uses age-based categories to explain "the product overall rather than quantifying every instance of potentially objectionable content."
Video game console manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada require all gaming software published for their gaming devices to be rated by the ESRB.
Major retailers in the U.S. require a person to be 17 or older and show proof of age to purchase M-rated titles, according to information provided by the ESRB.
Existing regulations already limit an underage individual's access to consume or ability to purchase certain video games, tickets to R-rated films and other forms of media, said Terry Madonna, a professor of political science at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster.
Video games are similar to films in that the content depicted is an expression of freedom of speech, Madonna said.
"It's a constitutionally-protected right, and we should be careful about putting limits on that," Madonna said.
Discussing video game violence
A study conducted in early January surveyed more than 1,000 parents concerning video game violence and children.
Commissioned by advocacy group Common Sense Media and the Center for America Progress, a Washington, D.C., think tank, the study asked 1,050 parents from across the country the relationship between violence and movies and video games.
Of those questioned, 89 percent said violence in video games is a problem.
Results showed 75 percent of parents thought easy access to guns and violence in video games both contribute to increased violence and aggression in children.
Lack of parental supervision scored the highest in the survey, with 93 percent of respondents identifying it as the largest factor contributing to violence.
In Southington, Conn., only a half-hour drive from Sandy Hook Elementary, parents and community leaders decided to educate themselves about the games their children are playing.
Southington SOS, a community outreach group of business owners, clergy, town officials and parents, said the shooting had devastating effects in their nearby community.
The shooting "rocked the world," Southington SOS Chairman John Myers said Wednesday.
"When it's right down the road, you really feel it," he said.
The group brainstormed ideas to help alleviate the suffering of their neighbors, Myers said.
What they settled on initially drew widespread attention - a voluntary "Violent Games Return" program. Officials planned to collect video games, music CDs and violent movies turned in voluntarily by concerned parents for public destruction and disposal.
"The group's action is not intended to be construed as statement declaring that violent video games were the cause of the shocking violence in Newtown on December 14th," a statement on the group's website reads. "Rather, Southington SOS is saying ... that there is ample evidence that violent video games, along with violent media of all kinds, including TV and movies portraying story after story showing a continuous stream of violence and killing, has contributed to increasing aggressiveness, fear, anxiety and is desensitizing our children to acts of violence including bullying."
Myers said he fielded calls from across the nation on both sides of the issue - those in support of the program and others criticizing the group's actions.
Critics on various video gaming websites decried the move as a "book burning" event.
But the group's right to hold the demonstration - much like the games' content - is protected by freedom of speech, Madonna said.
"It's a symbolic moment," similar to the many gun buy-back programs held across the nation, Madonna said.
"Once you do this, it's fair game, it's in the public venue," Madonna said. "People can react the way they want."
Charles said he had no problem personally with the collection program as a result of the shooting.
"They try very hard to create a rational explanation of what happened that makes them feel like they could try to do something about it," Charles said. "It's a very reasonable hypothesis - 'maybe this had a causal relation.' But it's still just a hypothesis."
Ultimately, Southington SOS canceled the event.
Myers said that wasn't prompted by public pressure, but rather a decision to accomplish the goal they initially set out to achieve: facilitating discussion between parents and their children concerning violent video games.
"Do parents really know what their kids are watching?" Myers said. "As the [Southington] superintendent of schools said, if one parent and one child had the conversation, than we've succeeded."
Respecting the ratings
One of the games cited by LaPierre, "Bulletstorm," received widespread criticism for its depiction of violent and sexual behavior following the game's release in February 2011.
In response, the game's publisher, Electronic Arts, defended the title and the appropriateness of its M-rating.
"The game and its marketing adhere to all guidelines set forth by the ESRB; both are designed for people 17-plus. Never is the game marketed to children," Tammy Schachter, vice president of public relations for Electronic Arts, said in a 2011 interview with gaming magazine Game Informer. "Epic, People Can Fly and EA support the right of artists to create works of entertainment fiction for consumers of all ages, including adults who enjoy action adventures like 'Bulletstorm.' Much like Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' or Rodriguez's 'Sin City,' this game is an expression of creative entertainment for adults."
Many of the other games mentioned during the NRA's press conference - specifically games in the long-running "Grand Theft Auto" series, have been criticized for allowing children to be "willing" participants of violence.
But parents need to take responsibility and limit the video game content their children have access to, said Chris Danella, owner of Chris' Yard Sale store on Pleasant Valley Boulevard.
"Parents need to pay more attention to their kids, period," Danella said.
The store sells video games ranging from "E for Everyone" to "M for Mature," Danella said.
Often, a child will come into the store knowing what game he or she wants to purchase. And parents usually oblige without giving much thought to the rating, Danella said.
While the store has not fielded many complaints about violent video games from shoppers, Danella said it was not surprising to see national concern regarding children playing M-rated titles.
It is a good idea for parents to have some idea of what types of media their kids are exposed to, Charles said.
He recommended parents carefully review each game's specific ESRB rating.
A cartoon-style game can have just as much, if not more, violence when compared to a realistic-looking game, Charles said. Sitting down and watching the child play the game is another way for adults to experience the media their children consume, he said.
Many of the blockbuster games on the market today have become much more cinematic, Charles said. Some games contain hours of cinematic cut scenes where the player is left passive, unable to control the action, he said.
Charles said he also envisions a future in which movies and television shift toward a more interactive approach for the viewer.
Still, Charles said, both are forms of entertainment. And while officials should question every motive behind actions such as the violent shooting in Connecticut, he said placing the blame solely on video games and other forms of media is misguided.
"It's also the case that the extreme violence depicted in a very small number of video games is not easy to do, and most people understand very well that it's fantasy," Charles said.

I watched three movies I said I'd never watch last weekend.
Those would be Paranormal Activity 1, 2 and 3.
This is what today's generation calls scary, and I say, y'all are nuts.
When I was coming of age, the scary movies were Jaws, Poltergeist, The Shining, Halloween and The Amityville Horror. When I was a kid and I maintain this still, the scariest monster movie of all time was The Wizard of Oz. A witch, a tornado and flying monkeys, I'm hiding behind the couch.
But none of that holds a candle to what I saw in Paranormal Activity and I don't know why. Well, yes I do know why.
When you are watching Poltergeist and even The Shining, as whacko as Jack Nicholson is ("Honey I'm home!" and "Heeeeere's JOHNNY!") you knew you were watching a movie, albeit a scary movie.
Not so with Paranormal Activity.
The cinematic tactic is to throw a video camera into the mix. The realism of the video camera, or the laptop webcam, or even the VHS tapes in Paranormal 3 presents the illusion that what you're watching is real and actually happened.
How else can you get wigged out watching the woman standing stone still beside the bed and watching her boyfriend sleep for more than two hours than the high speed running of the video time clock?
That caused an F-bomb.
Or a shadow without an accompanying body passing along the wall? There's another F-bomb.
When a door slammed, or furniture and pottery fell from the ceiling, I tossed out a few more. I lost count at 30 F-bombs during Paranormal 1 alone.
Then at the end when the demon-possessed girlfriend throws the boyfriend's dead body across the room and into the camera I tried to hide behind the couch again.
I even screamed … around another F-bomb, of course. I heaved a relieved sigh when the Paranormal 1's credits ran. I thought, thank goodness this is over.
Until I'm told, oh no, there are two more movies to watch. Three, if you count Paranormal Activity 4.
Here's another thing I don't like about today's scary movies.
It's when they (being the demon or whatever else has possessed the individual in question) make the human body bend in ways it's not supposed to bend, like bending over backwards in half, … another F-bomb, and then you hear bones crack. .
I came back from Atlanta last weekend to my own quiet and not so creepy apartment. I had silence. No creepy noises.
The apartment next door had been empty for the last six months so I expected to hear silence from my right, but unbeknownst to me, over the weekend my new neighbors moved in.
It was about 11:30 at night and I was settling down to bed when I heard the squeak of footsteps walking up the stairs on the other side of the wall.
A dozen F-bombs flow forth. I thought I was about to experience my own real live Paranormal Activity. In the movies this is what preceded the arrival of the demon and the paranormal activity – footsteps.
I grabbed my baseball bat. I've got a couch and I'm not afraid to hide behind it.

on December 24, 2012 - 7:18 AM
WASHINGTON – Here are the votes of Western New York's four members of the House of Representatives on major legislation in Congress last week. A "Y" means the member voted for the measure; an "N" means the member voted against the measure; an "A" means the member did not vote. There were no key votes in the Senate.
MONTANA NATURAL GAS PIPELINE: The House has passed a bill, sponsored by Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., that would direct the interior secretary to issue right-of-way permits for natural gas pipelines in Montana's Glacier National Park.
Rehberg said a permit to allow maintenance work on a pipeline, built in 1962, that supplies natural gas to close to 25,000 people living in the Flathead Valley of Montana, was necessary to continue safely providing the residents with the fuel.
The vote, last Monday, was 286 yeas to 10 nays.
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, A; Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul, D-Hamburg, Y; Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, Y; Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, D-Fairport, A.
CLARIFYING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LAND TRANSFER: The House has passed the Barona Band of Mission Indians Land Transfer Clarification Act, sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. The bill would correct a 2004 law by properly clearing title to land in San Diego County, Calif., as being held in trust for the Barona Band of Mission Indians, while clarifying the status of private property previously identified in the 2004 law as the tribe's property.
A supporter, Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, said the bill "solves a problem that should have been solved a long time ago" and will resolve a dispute about access to groundwater beneath the land in question.
The vote, last Monday, was unanimous with 306 yeas.
Higgins, A; Hochul, Y; Reed, Y; Slaughter, A.
INVESTING IN SMALL BUSINESS: The House has passed the Small Business Investment Company Modernization Act, sponsored by Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio. The bill would raise the limit for leverage by Small Business Investment Company funds, which borrow private and public capital to invest in small businesses, from $225 million to $350 million.
Chabot said the higher leverage limit will increase capital investments in small business, creating "a ripple effect throughout the economy as businesses will expand, create jobs and invest in research and development."
The vote, Tuesday, was 359 yeas to 36 nays.
Higgins, Y; Hochul, Y; Reed, Y; Slaughter, Y.
WESTERN HEMISPHERE THREAT OF IRAN: The House has agreed to a Senate amendment to the Countering Iran in the Western Hemisphere Act, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C. The amendment would require the secretary of state to provide Congress with an unclassified summary of recommendations for policies to address the threat posed by Iran in the Western Hemisphere.
Duncan said a plan was needed "to protect U.S. interests and assets here in the Western Hemisphere, including our embassies, consulates, businesses, energy pipelines and cultural organizations, including threats to U.S. allies."
The vote, Wednesday, was 386 yeas to 6 nays.
Higgins, Y; Hochul, Y; Reed, Y; Slaughter, Y.
PATENT REFORM LAW: The House passed a bill, sponsored by Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas. It would make technical corrections to the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, a patent reform law passed in 2011.
Smith said the bill "includes several technical corrections and improvements that ensure that the implementation of the bill can proceed efficiently and effectively." An opponent, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., said a bill provision requiring the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to submit a report on certain patent application sections would violate "the principle of total confidentiality of a patent application until the patent is granted," which would make smaller inventors vulnerable to litigation from companies with greater resources.
The vote, Wednesday, was 308 yeas to 89 nays.
Higgins, Y; Hochul, Y; Reed, Y; Slaughter, Y.
BIODEFENSE PROGRAMS: The House has passed the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act, sponsored by Rep. Mike J. Rogers, R-Mich. The bill would reauthorize for five years spending on programs to develop medicines and vaccines that would be used in the event of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack. Rogers said: "The work to protect Americans against bioterrorism is not finished, and we must pass this bill, or the future of America's public health preparedness infrastructure will be in jeopardy."
The vote, Wednesday, was 383 yeas to 16 nays.
Higgins, Y; Hochul, Y; Reed, Y; Slaughter, Y.
HEARING INDIAN TRUST CLAIMS: The House has passed a bill, sponsored by Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., to refer to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims a case in which the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma has petitioned for damages against the government for mismanagement of funds and lands in the tribe's trust.
Cole said the referral would give the Quapaw Tribe "an opportunity to make a case of an injustice that all sides admit occurred and establish what's fair compensation."
The vote, Wednesday, was 398 yeas to 5 nays.
Higgins, Y; Hochul, Y; Reed, Y; Slaughter, Y.
PREVENTING CHILD ABUSE: The House has passed the Protect Our Kids Act, sponsored by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas. The bill would establish a Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities, which would be charged with developing recommendations for policies to reduce fatalities from abuse and neglect of children.
Doggett said the commission would address the need to focus on prevention and collect "good data so that we can adequately compare what's happening and can also understand the best practices" for prevention that have been adopted in various parts of the country.

PUNISHING WASTEFUL SPENDING: The House passed the Government Employee Accountability Act, sponsored by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa. The bill would authorize the head of the Senior Executive Service to put employees on unpaid leave or fire employees as punishment for misappropriating funds.
Kelly said the bill would give the agency a tool to deter and punish malfeasance by employees and thereby improve accountability for government spending.

SPENDING CUTS: The House passed the Spending Reduction Act, sponsored by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. The bill would replace one year of scheduled spending cuts under the budget sequester agreement reached in 2011 with $236 billion of cuts to mandatory and discretionary spending programs over the next 10 years.
Cantor said the bill "reduces our deficit and protects our national security by replacing indiscriminate cuts that are neither strategic nor balanced."
An opponent, Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said "22 million children will face reduced or eliminated food benefits" under the bill and "1.8 million Americans will permanently lose their food assistance, and of those, nearly 300,000 children will lose their school free or reduced lunch program."
The vote, Thursday, was 215 yeas to 209 nays.
