The 5-inch smartphone: is this the end of the screen size race?
0. phoneArena 08 Jan 2013, 07:32 posted on
Give people a phone with a 3.5-inch display in 2007 and you'd hear oohs and aahs about how big that display is. From then on, every year it's the same story over and over again…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Not IMO. It's theoretically possible to increase the screen size while keeping the body size same. As in if the bezels are considerably reduced, a larger screen can be fitted in a smaller body. Speaking of screen resolutions, while anything above 1080p maybe futile for now, manufacturers may introduce higher res displays for better sales next year. It gives the consumer (the average Joe) a bragging right, despite there being no advantage of it until we learn to use the hardware fully.

just what I thought! :D sorry if i posted a comment with almost similar essence.

5 inch is the maximum size, stop increasing the screen size !!
132. bayusuputra (Posts: 962; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
agree.. The industry should make a guidelines about screen size. X = 7 for tablets.
then it will be up to the people whether they would want to slap a 6.5" device next to their ear.
Unless of course OEMs can make true bezel-less devices where the entire thing is just a screen.

I own a Galaxy Note 2 and I it feels comfortable in one hand. I have average size guy hands. A lot of that has to do with the dimensions it sports. I've held the LG Intuition/Vu 2 and despite it's 5 inch screen, its 4:3 ratio dimension design makes it uncomfortable to hold in one hand. You won't feel that way with the Note 2 because Sammy managed to maintain the 16:9 dimension ratio.

I used the old Nokia 5800 the other day. I'd still choose the 5800 over other phones for its form, if it had a faster processor and would run on Symbian Belle and not that horrendous old Symbian it shipped with initially.

I hope! Let me get an Experia Z in a 4.3 inch or even just a 4 inch screen size and I'd be happy!
7. Lawliet (Posts: 160; Member since: 02 Jul 2012)
Yes, goddamnit
4.2 ~ 4.8 is plenty enough if you ask me
153. alexvoda (Posts: 26; Member since: 11 Jan 2013)
4.3 would be the max for single handed use -> for a phone.
Evan the 4.5 of the Xperia T I have is just a bit to much to comfortably operate with one hand.
8. lumialove (Posts: 75; Member since: 16 May 2012)
4-4.5inch is perfect :)
131. Mobilephile (Posts: 149; Member since: 25 Nov 2012)
I remember a few years back when everyone thought the 4.3" HD2 was humungus and too big....just sayin
150. __Toprak__ (Posts: 6; Member since: 31 Jan 2012)
yeah I exactly did that and look what I'm using now :D
9. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I think, 5 inch displays are the not yet the last stop. It's just a matter of time where phone manufacturers will find ways to extremely reduce the bezels thus making the device smaller even with large screen. It would come to a point that the bezel on the sides of the screen would be similar to the top and bottom bezels. Maybe, a 6 inch screen with edge-to-edge display would be the final stop of the screen size race.
50. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Agreed the screens will get bigger. I have a galaxy note 1 and i personnally think thats the max size a phone should be,now if they can get a much bigger screen into the same footprint as the gnote than I'm all for it,reduce those bezels! Take the Sony z for instance,next year if Sony can engineer less bezel they could have a 5.2 screen perhaps in the same over dimensions.
I for one would defo carry a huge phone screen if it came like this :-)
Incredible prototype!!
104. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
True. I gotta agree with you. Gnote 1 is a big phone and have a same thought that it should be the maximum size for a phone. I think, in the future, most phone would be all about screen. Reduction of the bezels would be the thing every manufacturer will consider. Motorola started it, and everyone for sure will follow. Besides, having a big screen is good, but it must be fitted on a smaller footprint.
118. freebee269 (Posts: 539; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
have you seen the new total recall? in that movie they have a phone that is basically just a screen with zero bezel and you can see through the screen. that would allow the phone's screen size to be bigger than 5 inches. thats where i envision cell phones heading.
119. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
they also had phones imbedded in their hands.. heck naw McGraw!

I'm not sure whether Victor H is an antagonist or ignorant. Propping Apple up as an almighty product in articles, is always enjoyable, but also shows favoritism that renders it as opinion only. I have a question:
Where were all these cheerleaders were when Apple wasn't "Cool" and faced bankruptsy?
I often wonder how these journalists would percieve Apple if it were not as "Trendy".
John B.
14. Victor.H (Posts: 658; Member since: 27 May 2011)
First of all, it is an opinion only since we are not oracles here. Second, I fail to see how mentioning Apple in a true-to-fact fashion is favoritism, maybe you could try and explain?
18. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
so... your not a hot chick dressed in linen drugged up by a bunch of fugly old perverts on top of a mountain?
Damnit.. and I was just about to march on over and ask about the fate of my army.. gaaawd.
62. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
First of all Victor, I don't have a problem with you liking Apple. It is your right and many of my colleagues like their Apple. However, you are a journalist on a tech blog site that possibly thousands like me see every day. You don't have to claim to be an "Oracle" or even denounce it. You are in a position that potentially controls a reader's impression. You didn't mention that it is "Your" opinion(even if perceived), so some people will observe your article as Bible. I don't belong to the wireless industry other than as a consumer. I depend on tech blog sites such as this one to learn more and more about a growing industry. I also depend on a great amount of experience through 27 years of watching this industry evolve pre and post Apple. Elevating a choice product up as a devine entity is easy, but can easily prop it up as a paper tiger. It can inadvertently trigger false expectations in what people are looking for(especially for those seeking info through these sites). I would hope the owner(s) of this site would want to make sure no offense is made to those that choose differently. Going out of your way in this article to list disadvantages of the topic at hand while injecting an exception toward a different product, does have the potential to insult. Also, I spent a good amount of years with Apple products in my life. So while you have an opinion, so do I. So, my question remains: Where were you specifically, when Apple was just a speck on the globe? This question is valid because it pertains to a company that hasn't changed its MO or DNA since its inception three decades ago.
Secondly Victor: Keeping in mind that technology has upsides and downsides, if you could list a number of known or unknown negatives that Apple has brought to this industry and its consumers, it might help me and others understand that you or this site are not showing favoritsim to Apple.
John B.
137. Victor.H (Posts: 658; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Again, my first remark about Apple's 'evolution' in screen sizes is obviously ironic and the second one is true to fact as I've explained in earlier comments. I appreciate you caring for balanced coverage (keep up that spirit!), but I can't really see the imbalance here.
27. kmik05 (Posts: 5; Member since: 20 Dec 2011)
See, I kind of felt the way he positioned Apple was mockingly, as they try to do their own thing, and instead of answering consumer demand, they try to dictate what demand should be... until now, and they're quickly going to realize that too many people are straying from the herd (my thoughts for the latter part of that sentence!)
39. mrochester (unregistered)
People are straying from the herd? I was under the impression (with the sales figures to back it up) that Apple are selling more and more iPhones than ever before.
52. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
only in america does the iPhone continue to be strong. Outside of america its relegated to a pretty distant second and even sometimes 3rd place after android and WP7. If you take American sales out of the equation, iOS is a blip on the sales radar for the rest of the world.
70. mrochester (unregistered)
The iPhone is strong all over the world. I think you're confusing the iPhone (a model of phone) with iOS (a mobile OS) as you've mixed in Android and WP7 which are operating systems, not phone models!
73. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
The iPhone outside of US and compared to US is so much weaker. Of course, it still sells outside of the US, but it's just not the first thing on people mind. iPhone is only favored mainly in the US.
117. Mobilephile (Posts: 149; Member since: 25 Nov 2012)
the iphone 4 and 5 have become very weak in sales in China, the biggest mobile world market.
81. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Your right there Remixfa,stats wise android has something like 69% of the market share outside the US,Ios only around 20%.
Personnally I see the gs3 alone outselling the Iphone 5 at least 3:1,when counting in other android handsets into the equation then there isn't even a need to count continue the analysis anymore as the winners are quite evident
83. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
I dont even think its 20. Last I remember it was like at 17% or so and dropping with android's rise in china and india. What was it.. only a measly 5% of 2012 smartphone sales in china were iphones? It was a pretty seriously low number. It was competing for 2nd place with WP7.
87. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
You're right, China is supposed to have a huge iPhone market share iPhones. Chinese people are crazy about the iPhones, that's the only thing they're asking for when they come to the States. Apple is an American brand, it gives them that sense of superiority. I still couldn't believe that Android market share is so much higher than iPhones there.
92. tedkord (Posts: 11609; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
And so are Samsung and Android in general, at a significantly faster rate in android's case. Thats the market growth you're seeing in Apples growth, but year after year, Android and Samsung grow more than Apple.
Apple hada huge head start in the smartphone wars, and it took Android less than 4 years to pass them and more than double their market share. Shortly after that, Samsung became the number one smartphone vendor worldwide and in Apples stronghold, the US.
If not for these facts, the iphone 5 would likely still have the same 3.5 inch screen. Much of what you see from Apple today asfar as change is reaction to Android dominance. The change will continue add they try to ward it off.
133. bayusuputra (Posts: 962; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
I always see something good about apple as nothing more than sarcasms.

so just ditch apple, go for the better. why settle for less?
13. marchels14 (unregistered)
I agree 5 inches is the limit and 1080p should be also, smartphone companies should start thinking about better build quality,viewing angles,brightness indoor and outdoor and making all phones water and dust resistant.
15. marchels14 (unregistered)
That phone in the article picture looks stupid and ridiculous.
17. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
This article is already rendered moot by the slew of phones coming out in 2013 that push the 5inch barrier and beyond. The new S4 is supposed to be 5 inches, the Note 3 will be close to 6 inches. HTC, LG, and nearly everyone else is throwing into the 5.5+ category this year.
The only change I see coming is a decrease in the use of the term "phablet" as there is no longer a real border between superphone and phablet. As bezels decrease, the size of the screen will increase along with it. Phablets were once considered at 5 inches and above. Now either every superphone coming out is a phablet, or none of them are. Maybe instead of phablet, we will start calling every phone under 4.3 inches a "mini phone" to better show the difference in the market.
As far as screen size, I'm holding my 4.7 inch Nexus4 (which is quickly becoming "average screen size") and seeing about another half inch of bezel that could be turned into screen without increasing the size of the phone.. so yea, as long as borders continue to shrink I can continue to go up in screen size to 5 inches and beyond... and they will continue to shrink, that you can count on.
1080p is completely useless on a phone.. its a buzzword to get peeps excited, and nothing more.
BTW, am I the only one that noticed that in the pixel comparison between the phones' text displays that the iphone was much smaller than the rest. That skews results. tisk tisk.
20. rickywinataa (Posts: 262; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
i think note 3 will be either 5.7 to 6 inches in size with 1080P screen.
1080P is still useful for phones IMO, i still can see pixel in high density screen like iPhone though i need to really focus to see it, 1080P just makes pixel truly impossible to be seen with naked eyes
22. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its already impossible to discern with naked eyes. Your eyes cant separate pixels after like 320ppi or whatever the magic number is.. Thats 720p on a 4.7 inch+ screen. I have to hold my nose to my nexus to even pretend I can see a pixel.
Its a buzzword and nothing more to get people excited.. a placebo effect. Its just like how they constantly ramp up clock speeds even though the newer chip sets are way more powerful than the previous generations and more than we will use in the next few years. Its all a placebo effect and part of advertising to get people to think product X is faster than product Y.
53. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Its depends on a persons eyes,I can definitely say i can see that the dna's text above is much sharper. I can personnaly see the gnote 2 pixels being less sharp than the gnote 1 due to ppi,that saying visually my eyes are very sharp for pixels onscreens and tvs,as for audio however im probably as far from an audiophile as someone could be,it all sounds the same lol!
55. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
sure, anyone can see the text when its blown up 500%. However when going between a 320ppi screen to a 400ppi screen and looking at it from 1 ft away in real life (regular viewing distance), you will see no difference at all.
The Note1's screen wasnt exactly high pixel density.
72. mrochester (unregistered)
Sadly, manufacturers like to take advantage of the gullible and easily duped people who think that bigger numbers = better. It's a trend that we saw in the PC market and is a trend we now see in the smartphone market.
141. rickywinataa (Posts: 262; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
well maybe they just want to make people can't see pixel no matter how hard they try
142. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
One day we will be there. I'm not against furthering the tech... hell, I'm always for improvements. However there just isnt a "need" for it on a mobile display tech at this moment. It takes a lot of extra horsepower from the chip, which results in faster battery drain, to power a super high resolution screen... and for what actual benefit? Lower frame rates in games (eventually as they get more detailed)?
The display is all about what your eyes percieve. If the eyes cant tell the difference anymore, then its just a waste of money. Concentrate on better contrast, color, and sun visibility instead.
The only thing I could think of that could really use the higher resolution mega high PPI display would be those augmented reality glasses like Google Goggles and Virtual Reality head sets like Occulous Rift where the screen is literally millimeters from your eye.
99. tedkord (Posts: 11609; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Its dependent on viewing distance. If you hold the phone a for and a half from your face, you can't see pixels even at 720p. I have 20/18 vision, and I can't see pixels on the SGS3 at average viewing distance.
Your average 1080p 55' TV has only like 50ppi or thereabouts, but if you're sitting 8 feet from it, its plenty.
No one used their smartphone an inch or two from their faces. 1080p isa gimmick.
106. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
The only real use I could see for such high PPI is things like Google Goggles where the screen is literally on your eye. Then mega high 400+PPI would actually have a real benefit.
Speaking of which.. where's my Google Goggles.. I was hoping they would be out by now!! lol.
33. jove39 (Posts: 1856; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Yes...iPhone text size seems zoomed out!!!
21. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
I did fancy switching to a phablet one day, but fullHD 5" is the perfect combination of one-handed usage and very large screen, need not to go ~6" me thinks.
34. Tones (Posts: 64; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
I agree. Think 5" is just small enough to use as an everyday phone, and big enough to use for your everyday surfing / social networking / media / gaming.
I wouldnt like to get anything bigger than 5", and i certainly wouldnt go back to anything under 4.5"
25. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
even holding a 5 inch phone to attend a call i will look like an idiot

• Over a period of 111/2 years, 140 patients were operated on for aortoiliac disease; 81 had coexisting superficial femoral artery occlusions (combined segment disease). Patients with combined segment disease were older, had twice the incidence of diabetes, and significantly more rest pain and gangrene on presentation. Aortic bifurcation grafts were placed in 114 patients. Relief of rest pain and threatened gangrene was uniformly good. However, relief of claudication was significantly poorer in patients with combined segment disease. There were 11 "late" thrombotic graft occlusions. Six grafts with distal anastamoses to the external iliacs failed because of limb outflow problems, while five grafts to the common femoral position exhibited more diffuse problems. Late graft failures were due to progression of disease and not problems intrinsic to the grafts. Cumulative patency rates were 98.0% at one year and 94.6% at three years.

I was fine back in the day when I had a NES. Why do I need to pay someone to entertain me anymore? Maybe I do and maybe I don't. You can't decide that and there is no way in he|| I am going to donate to a "Save the Games" campaign. So how do we find out where the sweet spot is on how much content is enough and how good the content is? Let the market work brother.
quote: These dip s--- mother fathers think they should be able to charge whatever they put into it. That is not the way it works. They may have invested too much time and money into this game.
quote: That isn't stealing. You already bought and paid for the CD you are merely retrieving your purchase. This is a completely different, and legitimate, reason to pirate something. This has nothing to do with price and everything to do with who actually "owns" content. The price argument is BS, as I said before.
quote: This is different, though, because buyers aren't signaling a decrease in demand they are signaling a decreased desire to PAY for the product.
quote: They CAN charge whatever they want. If you want them to lower their prices ignore their games. That's the only way they'll lower their prices. Decreased demand. You're doing the exact opposite when you pirate. You are the cause of the effects you continue to whine and moan about.
quote: If buyers were signaling a prolonged decrease in demand sellers would lower prices or eventually roll over in a mound of debt.

In addition to this advisory role, RHA sponsors programs and educational opportunities for residents in all of the halls.
If you are interested in participating in hall senate contact your Resident Assistant or Assistant Hall Director for more information.
Hall Senates
Each hall has a senate that provides various programs and leadership opportunities in your hall. At the beginning of the year an election is held for the positions of president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer.
Hall senates are expected to represent the opinions of the residents they serve to the RHA Counsel on important policy and programmatic topics. Hall senates will also work collaboratively with other hall senates and hall staff to provide fun and educational programming events for their hall.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Fall season brings a variety of activities including the start of many youth-based sports. With eager anticipation, children from across the country look forward to playing with their team.
A few local examples are Tahoe City Public Utilities District junior basketball league, North Tahoe Youth football and AYSO soccer.
Participating in youth leagues has a number of benefits for children, first and foremost is in the area of personal health. Children who regularly exercise and play sports can battle obesity and promote overall physical well-being.
From 1980 to 2008, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports obesity among our youth (6-11 years) has doubled and has tripled among adolescents (12-19 years). Obesity occurs when caloric intake exceeds energy used to burn calories. So rather than going to the gym, children can join a team, hit the field or court and burn off those calories.
Another advantage of team sports is that it can promote social interaction, build self esteem and help children relate to others. Even toddlers can learn from sports such as the TCPUD Little Lakers program. Through this program they learn social skills and are introduced to organized activities before they are in school. The program is held once a week in four-week increments and covers a variety of sports.
As a parent looking to have your child participate in sports activities here are some tips.
• Talk to your child and find out what areas in which they are interested and explore the opportunities at your local parks and recreation.
• Visit the teams/programs , talk to the coaches, see the facility, the equipment and how the program is run.
• Talk to other parents who have been in the program before and get their feedback.
• Consider the time commitment and financial cost. Make sure the entire family supports the activity and there is no hidden cost to participating.
In the end make sure it is what the child really wants to do and that it will be a fun and positive experience.
For more information on the program and services the Tahoe City Parks and Recreation has to offer call 530-583-3440, ext. 11, 740 Timberland Lane, Tahoe City or visit www.tahoecitypud.com or www.facebook.com/tahoecityparksandrecreation.

Touring with their latest album, the Sweetback Sisters bring their swinging country sound to the Pocahontas County Opera House stage at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Tickets are $10. Children 17 and younger are admitted free of charge.
Sweetback Sisters Emily Miller and Zara Bode may not be blood relations, but their precise, family-style harmonies recall the best of country music from the Everlys to The Judds, as well as the spirited rockabilly energy of Wanda Jackson - one of the band's role models.

Sweetback Sisters Emily Miller and Zara Bode bring their unique sound to the Pocahontas County Opera House at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Like the artists they admire, the Sweetbacks are concerned with the traditional subjects of heartbreak, revenge, remorse and staying strong in the face of relationships gone wrong - albeit with a contemporary sensibility.
"We're a renegade retro band that mixes up country, swing and honky tonk," explains Bode. "Sometimes what we deliver is straight out of the 1950s; other times it's BR549 meets The B52s."
The Sisters have been touring relentlessly since they released "Chicken Ain't Chicken" in 2009. Their new CD, "Looking For A Fight" showcases the band's razor-sharp musicianship, complex arrangements and growing confidence as songwriters.
"We tried to recreate the energy we get when we connect with an audience over the course of a song," Bode says. "The basic tracks were all done live, and we recorded most of the vocals with Emily and I crowded around one microphone. It gave the tracks a certain intimacy."
The songs were cut onto analogue tape to capture the classic touch the band brings to the music.
"We weren't looking for perfection, just takes that truly felt good and really grooved," Miller adds. "Tape gives the songs a warm texture, and we blended old techniques and equipment with modern ones to get the sound and feel we were going for. The RCA ribbon mic we used for the vocals once belonged to the old Columbia Studios. I'd bet a dime that Miles Davis and Johnny Cash played into the very same one."
Like their raucous stage show, "Looking For A Fight," balances yesterday's hits from Patsy Cline to Hazel Dickens with contributions from the band's four songwriters, Bode, Miller, Bellenoit and Elkins-native fiddler Jesse Milnes. While the music may be energetic and sassy, sentiments of heartache, loss and longing are dominant.
"Those are the themes that make country songs resound with listeners," Miller says. "We didn't only want to make a classic-sounding record, but a classic-feeling record as well."
The music of the Sweetback Sisters includes a few subtle surprises - ensemble vocals a la the Sons of the Pioneers on "Cowboy Ham and Eggs," honky tonk piano on "It Won't Hurt When I Fall Down From This Bar Stool," the raw passion of Bode's vocal on Hazel Dickens' old-time ballad "Don't Put Her Down, You Helped Put Her There." On "Looking For a Fight," the Sisters and their talented brothers continue to forge their own sound by delivering arrangements that combine the soul of classic Nashville with an undeniably contemporary edge.
Tickets are $10. Children 17 and younger are admitted free of charge.
Doors at the Opera House open at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Tickets are available in advance at pocahontasoperahouse.org and at the 4th Avenue Gallery in Marlinton.
The Pocahontas County Opera House is located at 818 Third Avenue in Marlinton. Performances at the Opera House are informal, family-friendly and open to all. The entrance and main seating are accessible to persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities are encouraged to attend; special accommodations can be arranged upon request by calling 304-799-6645.
The Opera House Performance Series is presented with financial assistance through a grant from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval from the West Virginia Commission on the Arts. Financial support for this concert is also provided by Pocahontas County Drama, Fairs and Festivals, Pendleton Community Bank, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Kellison-Bialek Nationwide Insurance and Brightside Acres.

National 4-H Dairy Bowl Winners from Ohio
National 4-H Dairy Bowl Winners from Ohio
The North American 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl contest was held on Saturday, November 6th in Louisville, Ky. Twenty teams competed in the national double-elimination contest which celebrated its 31st year. High school and college aged youth (still 4-H members) compete by answering questions on all things dairy, including reproduction, genetics, feeding, dairy products and animal health.
Four team members constitute a state team during competition, but an alternate can also compete in matches, so teams can include five members. And, in one case this year, the team from Florida was a three-person team.
While I have witnessed dozens of breed dairy bowl contests, the national 4-H contest has a different format. A 50-question written test is taken on Friday evening, with scores used to seed the teams to determine which states face each other the next day. However, test scores carry over into the matches (with scores unknown to team members).
The next day is the head-to-head competition. Each team is asked five questions where members confer with each other before answering. After both teams have answered those (same) questions, the buzzer or toss-up round begins. Twenty short-answer questions are read, and, when a contestant knows the correct answer, they signal their device (buzzer) and answer the question. Both teams need to be quick on the buzzer to answer before the other team. If three different team members correctly answer a question, the team can earn a bonus where just that team can earn extra bonus points. Each match takes about 30 minutes.
At the conclusion of the toss-up round, scores are read: the score of the written test (from a predetermined section of the exam for this particular round), the team questions, the toss-up questions, and the bonus questions. Having to use fast math to calculate the winner, the audience and competing teams do not know how close the contest was until these scores are read aloud and only announced at the end of the match.
New York had defeated Ohio by five points to force Ohio to the consolation bracket, so Ohio had to face New York two more times to win victory. Ohio claimed the national title with team members: Eileen Gress, Rachel Townsley, Sam Weeman, Billy Grammar and Brandon Meier. Ohio 4-H was coached by Lorraine Townsley and Lisa Gress. The team had the chance to compete last year at the national contest but passed on the opportunity in hopes of earning the right to compete at this year's national contest when they felt would be more mature and would have a better chance of doing well. Coach Gress commented, "I knew this team would win the contest it they waited a year. They worked really hard and are very deserving. I am speechless after this win."
Lorraine Townsley(coach), Brandon Meier, Billy Grammar, Sam Weeman, Lisa Gress and Julie Martig (coaches). Seated: Eileen Gress, Rachel Townsley
New York's 4-H Team members were Kassie Abrams, Magdalene Richmond, Emily Bonin and Eric Worden. They were coached by Matt Young and Debbie Grusenmeyer. Both Ohio and New York were all-state teams, representing several counties in their states. Some states choose to send their state contest's winning county team, while teams like Ohio and New York select the top individuals to compete at the national contest.
New Yorkers, Kassie Abrams and Emily Bonin placed first and second in the written test portion of the contest. Other top written test scorers were Maggie Buckmeier (Maryland), Marty Harris (Virginia), Grace Ott (Virginia), Caroline Warns (Virginia), Magdelene Richmond (New York), Joey Adams (Iowa), Eileen Gress (Ohio) and Austin Pluskot (Florida).
Rounding out the overall team results, Georgia was third, Iowa fourth, and honorable mention to Florida and Wisconsin.
After the contest, I had the chance to learn a little about the winning team members and their dairy background. Eileen Gress lives on her family's 85-cow registered Ayrshire farm and hopes for a career with the Ayrshire Breeders' Association in a marketing and communications role. Rachel's family milks 80 Holsteins and has her sights set on a career in engineering. Brandon is employed on a Holstein and Brown Swiss farm where they milk 130 cows. He is currently enlisted in the US Army 88 Mike (motor transport). After military service, he plans to attend college and study culinary arts and open a restaurant. Hailing form a 700-cow Registered Jersey Farm, Billy Grammar hopes for a position as an A.I. technician in the future.
The contest is sponsored by American Dairy Science Association Foundation, Down Home Jerseys, Farm Credit Services, North American Livestock Exposition, National Dairy Shrine, and Select Sires, Inc.
Congratulations to all teams competing and see a few of the teams in action at : http://w953.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http%3A%2F%2Fw953.photob...

Police were called to a 2220 Shalom Ave. N.W. apartment about 10 a.m., where the mother of Delshawn Porterfield told police her son was unresponsive when she tried to wake him up.
The baby was in his crib and the mother, 23-year-old Amanda Martin, said she had put him to bed at 10 p.m. Monday and had checked on him several times until 2 a.m.
When she checked him again at 10 a.m., the baby did not respond and she called police, reports state.
The coroner's office will conduct an autopsy, police said.
Woman confronted, pushes clerk
WARREN - Reports state a woman confronted by an employee Monday at Citi Trends, 2003 Elm Road N.E., over possible stolen clothes pushed the employee and ran away.
Police were called to the store just after 5 p.m. Christmas Eve, where an employee told them a woman triggered the store's theft sensors as she tried to leave the store.
The employee noticed clothing hidden on the woman, and when she was asked about it, the woman pushed the employee, said she refused to go to jail and ran out the door.
The woman got away with a cell phone and about $34 worth of clothes, reports state.

He then went outside and while he was smashing the back window out of her car, she shot him in the forehead and back with a BB gun, reports state.
Antonio Johnson was taken to St. Joseph Health Center to be treated for his wounds before being taken to the Trumbull County Jail, where Jessica Johnson also was taken.
Fire from cooking damages apartment
AUSTINTOWN - A fire at a 4811 Westchester Square apartment early Wednesday morning caused $35,000 in damage.
Crews were called about 12:50 a.m. to the apartment, where there was heavy smoke and fire damage in the kitchen, said fire Chief Andy Frost Jr. Additionally, residents in four adjoining apartments were forced to spend the night elsewhere because of the smoke.
Frost said the fire started when a resident of the apartment was cooking and fell asleep. No one was injured.
Home ransacked on Christmas Day
WARREN - A home at 1135 Southern Blvd. N.W. home was ransacked on Christmas Day, police said. Burglars took about 50 DVDs.

Mayweather Contradicts Himself Badly (How can you defend him still?)
First he says, Gatti is a paper champ, and then he claims he was the 140 champ because he beat Gatti and claim it as a great win.
Then he says, that he is better than Leonard because Leonard got beat by a LW, but he is fighting a LW at WW? WTF?
Then he says, he wont fight Cotto because he dont do bussines with Arum.
and Brian kenny ask him," Will you fight Pacquio", and FLoyd said, " If he wants it, he can get it too", and Brian Kenny Replies, So you are willing to do bussines with Arum now?" And then, crickets sounds. Another time he contradicts and ownes himself!!!!!
Then when he was ask, why picking on a smaller fighter, he says that Pacquiao is small too. So he admits that he is picking on a samller fighter and he admits he is bigger than Pacquiao.
Then he says he wont fight Mosley, because Mosley have 5 loses on his record. Doesnt JMM have 4 loses on his record? So WTF? again!!!!!
Then he says, he wont fight Mosley, because he beated Margaito, but Margarito beat Cotto and Cotto beat Mosley. And then he says, did I lost to one of those guys? And that **** cracked me up, I started LMAO, because OFcourse, you didnt lose to those guys, you ducked all 3.
when Brian Kenny asks floyd why he is fighting Marquez at welterweight floyd answers "because he called me out" and when Brian kenny says alot of guys call you out floyd. why arent you fighting someone like Mosley at welterweight floyd replies "because i do what i want"
And he also said "I'm coming back for legacy. Im coming back to take back whats mine by taking the toughest fights" at the announement of the Marquez fight.
But at the ESPN interview he goes "I dont fight for bragging rights"
and on 106th and Park he goes "Im coming back to do what I do best. Which is be flashy and make money
How can Floyd fans still try to defend this clown, with all the excuses and contradictions? And all his talk with out bakcing it up!
**** is funny how they cosign anything and everything he says and do!!!!!

Honestly, all this weight debate and smaller man ****, etc. etc. - DOES Floyd lose to any of the above named fighters at ANY weight? (within conversational reason.) Come on, the 4 pounds here or 5 pounds here, blah blah. Floyd Mayweather Jr. WILL beat JMM and then procede to beat Pac. Just the way it's gonna be. Hate me if you want and this is only my opinion, but I believe this to be a fact.

Can you define these popular missing words?
An Aussie slang for a "torpedo" kick. When kicking am oblong ball (i.e. gridiron ball, rugby ball, Aussie rules ball), it means to have the ball spin along it's longest axis, thus providing fantastic aerodynamics. Plus it looks pretty cool.
(in sports commentators voice) "Oh, a beautiful torpie there bounces into touch."

Family: Remember to laugh!
Thanksgiving Day is one of my favorite holidays.
As we get closer to the fourth Thursday in November - and plan for holiday celebrations - our family remembers our special tradition.
We have just relocated to the beautiful state of New Mexico and enjoying our few first weeks here. Even better, our daughter will be visiting from New York for the holiday.
Any holiday that brings family together is an opportunity for family history, even if it is only talking about previous holidays.
One story that is always part of our get-together is the story of our first turkey day celebrations when we lived in Iran long ago.
I had ordered a fresh turkey from a Teheran supermarket and specified that it had to be at my house on Wednesday morning - cleaned and ready.
Wednesday came and went, while I was busy making pies, preparing stuffing, and doing other myriad tasks. The store said it would be delivered in the afternoon.
The afternoon came and went.
He then said it would be there in the evening.
The evening came and went.
Early Thursday morning, there was a knock at the door, and Mr. Turkey arrived. Finally!
I took the large brown-paper wrapped parcel into the kitchen, and felt it was suspiciously warm. I gingerly opened the package and found an entire turkey. I mean an entire turkey.
It was compete with all its feathers, neck, head, eyes - everything but the gobble - and it was sitting right there on my kitchen counter.
At that point, I didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. Our friends were coming for Thanksgiving Day dinner in only a few hours and I'd never seen a bird like that, even less how to go about getting ready for the oven.
My husband called my mother-in-law - and as they laughed hysterically - she agreed to send over her housekeeper-cook to help out the poor foreign daughter-in-law who couldn't clean a turkey!
The woman arrived and efficiently de-feathered, de-necked, cleaned out everything that needed to be cleaned out - giggling the entire time.
Hey, I'm from New York, where Thanksgiving Day turkeys come cleaned in plastic bags, whether they are fresh or frozen. I had seen live turkeys, in person and on television, and turkeys ready for cooking, but never one in the intermediate stage.
In any case, I was then able to prepare Mr. Turkey properly, stuff it with a favorite cornbread and chestnut mix, roast and baste it to golden brown. Everyone said how delicious it was, despite the tragi-comedy of the situation.
We also mention how we American wives would search at a few special stores to hopefully find cranberry sauce, pumpkin puree for pies, and MiracleWhip for leftover sandwiches. These were not common items in Iran in those days, so one either paid astronomical prices for each can or jar or hand-carried it back on trips home.
We began telling the story of Mr. Turkey that year and tell it again each year. It is still funny.
It is our Thanksgiving tradition, no matter who is at our table.
We will tell the story again on Thursday in New Mexico.
Enjoy the holiday, if it is your tradition, and enjoy having your family around the table.
Tell the stories of holidays past, of family traditions. Keep the memories alive, and don't forget to take photos and video of your celebration to add to the family archive.
Post those photos and videos at your MyHeritage.com family site, so all family members - no matter where they live - can participate.
What is your most memorable Thanksgiving tradition or story? Share it with MyHeritage.com via comments to this post.

Suspect hits several cars, tries to get away
Witnesses help police find hit-and-run suspect
Witnesses and Sacramento police caught a suspect who allegedly hit several vehicles and tried to get away Tuesday afternoon.
Officers said Kenneth Murray, 28, was originally involved in a hit-and-run along Florin Perkins Road and Jackson Highway in Sacramento just after 2 p.m.
When police arrived, Murray hit multiple additional vehicles as he tried to get away.
Witnesses helped police find Murray, and evidence left at the scene of the original hit-and-run confirmed that he was the correct suspect, police said.
Murray was booked at the Sacramento County Jail on felony hit-and-run charges.
Minor injuries were reported as a result of the collisions.

PITTSBURGH - Mike Tomlin's sideline two-step against Baltimore on Thanksgiving night did more than just earn the Pittsburgh Steelers coach a $100,000 fine and a smudge on his otherwise well-polished resume. It also overshadowed the perilous position his team found itself in after a 22-20 loss.
When Ben Roethlisberger's 2-point conversion attempt smacked off Emmanuel Sanders' hands and fell incomplete, what little margin for error the Steelers (5-7) had entering December vanished.
A loss to the equally enigmatic Dolphins (6-6) today would doom the Steelers to a second straight non-winning season for the first time this millennium and give the team an early start on an offseason filled with questions to which there are no readily apparent answers.
A win would keep the future at bay a while longer. Four straight to end the regular season could change the conversation entirely.
"This is our playoff game right here," Roethlisberger said. "It's been that way the last couple weeks, and it's going to keep being that way until the end."
Miami finds itself in better position, but only slightly. The Dolphins, whose season has been pockmarked by accusations of bullying that make's Tomlin's misstep look comical, have won two of three. They did so behind a defense playing with a snarl that has taken some of the pressure off second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Fact Box
Coming up
Who: Miami at Pittsburgh
When: Sunday, 1 p.m.
Records: Dolphins (6-6);?Steelers (5-7)
The Dolphins are tied for fifth in the league in sacks (37) and ninth in points allowed. Miami held the New York Jets to a field goal in a 23-3 romp last week while getting to quarterbacks Geno Smith and Matt Simms four times, including three sacks by defensive end Olivier Vernon.
"It's been a collective effort by the entire defensive guys," Miami coach Joe Philbin said. "I think everybody ribs everybody, but I think as long as we get the quarterback on the ground I don't think anybody really cares who gets it."
Only Tom Brady and Drew Brees have found a way to score more than 23 points against the Dolphins this season. And while Roethlisberger is hardly a slouch, he'll also be playing behind an offensive line that will have its sixth starting combination on the season after center Fernando Velasco tore his Achilles tendon and is lost for the year.
"That's been a thing since I've been here," running back Jonathan Dwyer said. "We have trouble keeping guys healthy, but we have belief that whoever is out there it going to be able to make plays when the time comes."
Five things to keep an eye on as the Dolphins search for their first win in Pittsburgh in 23 years:
WALLACE'S HOMECOMING: Miami wide receiver Mike Wallace spent four seasons in Pittsburgh, developing into one of the league's top deep threats and making the Pro Bowl in 2011. What Wallace didn't get, however, was a long-term contract from the Steelers, at least not one he wanted to sign. He took $60 million and fled to Miami last spring, and for all the thrills he provided, he has no doubt what Heinz Field is going to sound like when his No. 17 flashes onto the video board.
"I don't think everything ended on the highest note," Wallace said. "I know between myself and the organization, we all know what the deal was, so I am good with it."
TOMLIN'S TANGO: Tomlin called his foray onto the field against the Ravens when he nearly tripped Baltimore's Jacoby Jones "embarrassing, inexcusable, illegal, a blunder." He stressed it wasn't intentional and remains adamant it will not provide a distraction.
"The only thing we can control is our preparation and, ultimately, our play this week," he said. "That's the now and what's immediately ahead of us. I try to relay that sentiment and attitude to our team, and I think it's something they embrace."
CORRALING CLAY: The rapid development of third-year tight end Charles Clay has given Tannehill more options when defenses turn their attention to Wallace and Brian Hartline. Clay's next score will give him as many this season as he had in his first two seasons combined. He'll be facing a defense that has struggled at times against talented tight ends and will start two rookies at linebacker.
SNOW GLOBE? The early forecast for Sunday is a wintry mix of sleet and snow with temperatures hovering around the freezing mark. It sounds nearly as nasty as Miami's last trip to Pittsburgh, which was played in a monsoon on a field that looked more like a slip-and-slide. The Steelers won 3-0 on a field goal with 17 seconds left.
The Dolphins haven't done much in foul weather lately, though they could take some inspiration from the University of Miami, which beat Pittsburgh at Heinz Field the day after Thanksgiving with the thermostat set at a brisk 31 degrees.
THE OTHER WALLACE: Journeyman Cody Wallace will make his first NFL start on Sunday as the third center to play for the Steelers this year. Wallace played all of 58 snaps in five-plus seasons before signing with Pittsburgh in September.
"He's a capable guy," Roethlisberger said. "He's been here a while, so he'll be ready."

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Going into halftime of Thursday's NCAA Tournament second round game between Pittsburgh and North Carolina Asheville, a team that wasn't even in this year's tourney likely came into several Pitt fan's minds.
East Tennessee State.
Two years ago, Pitt nearly became the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16 seed and likely would have lost if ETSU hadn't shot 12-of-24 from the foul line in a 10-point loss that was much closer than the final score.
Thursday at the Verizon Center, Pitt led by just five at halftime and only 32-29 with 18:25 to play in the game.
Then Ashton Gibbs took over and erased any thoughts of East Tennessee State. Hopefully, for the Panthers' sake, he does just as good of a job erasing the long slump Pitt has had in its attempts to make the Final Four.
Pitt is one of just seven schools to reach the NCAA Tournament each of the past 10 years, but the longest any Panther team lasted is the Elite 8, in 2009.
Gibbs believes this year's team can change that.
"I'm very confident," Gibbs said. "We have to keep playing unselfish, keep playing on the defensive end and let that carry on our offense, and I think if we do that, we'll be all right."
Gibbs single-handedly helped Pitt avoid a repeat of ETSU by responding to Asheville pulling within three by scoring five straight points and finding Nasir Robinson for an easy layup.
In all, Gibbs scored 26 points, including six 3-pointers.
"Ashton obviously shot much better in the second half," Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon said. "I think that just kind of opened it up. I thought our defense was good throughout, but our offense kind of slowed us down in the first half."
The cliche phrase is that defense wins championships, but the lack of a prolific scorer has been what has cost Pitt a chance to play for one.
The 2009 team had NBA players Sam Young and DeJuan Blair along with the clutch Levance Fields, but none of those players had the explosive scoring ability Gibbs has shown. Along with his 3-point shooting ability, Gibbs is an excellent distributor of the ball and free-throw shooter.
For the season, entering Thursday's game, Gibbs was averaging 16.7 points per game, shooting 48 percent from beyond the arc and was nearly a 90-percent foul shooter.
"Gibbs is an outstanding shooter," UNC Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach said. "I'll tell you what, he's a quality player."
Sure, Pitt will win plenty of games with tough, physical play like it did Thursday, but at some point in the tournament, someone is going to have to score 35 points and hit a key shot.
In Gibbs, the Panthers have the best option they've had in a long time to do that.
"I think every team here, every player thinks that they have the ability to go and believe they will go to the Final Four," Dixon said. "Any team that's in this event has won so many games, has had a great year and I think every team has that belief."
Unlike most of those players and teams, Gibbs and the Panthers have the ability to make it happen.

To be in Edinburgh during its Edinburgh Festival
It is worth gearing up for, for the annual August festival of Edinburgh; which is also the largest annual cultural festival in the world. There are just so many things you can do at this time; with foreigners descending to the streets, the city is buzzing. In short, there is a lot of cheer and excitement everywhere.
The Edinburgh Festival is a collective term for many arts and cultural festivals put on by various unrelated organisations and are therefore officially separate events, but regarded as the same event as a whole, as it's all taking place at the same time. There are so many festivals you'll enjoy; out of which the Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe are the largest and original components of the festival. I personally love the Military Tattoo and the buzz and excitement I had in the Princes Street garden waiting for the fireworks display to start and setting up my camera to capture the night.
Edinburgh International Festival: This festival of performing arts takes place over three weeks from around the middle of August; and includes top class performers of music, theatre, opera and dance from all around the world. It also hosts a series of visual art exhibitions, talks and workshops.
Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo: Don't be misled by the term 'tattoo' here. There is no 'ink' involved : -) but rather it is used to describe the ceremonial form of evening entertainment performed at the esplanade of Edinburgh castle each year by Military musicians that composed of British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and International Military bands. It is Scotland's best-selling spectacle and so is not a surprise that tickets for this big event is always sold out in advance; hence the need to be alert about it couple of months prior to the event. The Tattoo activity will entertain you with its high-tech illumination, imaginative graphics, thundering sounds of drums and bagpipes, impressive marching and specially commissioned fireworks.
Edinburgh Festival Fringe (or simply The Fringe): The Fringe is the world's largest arts festival. It is an unjuried festival, meaning there is no selection committee and therefore any type of performance can participate; and includes a street fair which is located on the Royal Mile. Other shows include Music, Dance & Physical Theatre, Musicals and Opera, and Children's shows, in addition to assorted Events and Exhibitions.
Other popular festivals include iFest, Edinburgh Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Interactive Festival, Edinburgh People's Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival, Edinburgh Mela, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Edinburgh Art Festival and a whole lot more. Enough of reading and hearing about it; only when you have been a part of this big event can you say you have really seen the best of Edinburgh!

Tales from the "Bassa" (Flatland)
I used this post of a few days ago to make it the 'starting point' for the current monthly reportage which will cover, as you may have guessed from the title, the landscapes and the cuisine of the flatlands stretching from Bologna to Ferrara: the 'Bassa'.
There are so many stories to tell about these places, as well as images to show, we start right outside Bologna, where we immediately meet one of the protagonists of this tale: the river Reno.
Reno rises in the mountains between Bologna and Pistoia and it ends its mountainous stretch near the lock of Casalecchio di Reno. From there its course is inextricably linked to the human history of these zones. In fact, its course was changed by men for centuries, both for reclaiming land from marshes, formerly it didn't flow into the Adriatic Sea but in some wetlands south of Ferrara, both for navigation and agriculture with numerous canals that were built since the Middle Ages (the first sources about Canale Navile date from the twelfth century but is believed that it have been dug prior that time).
We meet Reno just off Calderara di Reno (sorry for this name repetitions, but as you will understand, the name of the river in the topography is a sign of the importance that it had for the area), in Longara.
Here we find a beautiful church dating from the XVIII century, built by the architect-priest G.B. Baroni, but near from here also a natural oasis where you can go right on the banks of the river.
The atmosphere is magical and strange at the same time there: in this flat region trees are usually few and sparses, but here the scrub is thick and all the time you can hear waterfowles cry. There is also a path for an easy walk which crosses the stream and allows to continue the journey on the opposite bank of the river toward Trebbo di Reno.
We continue instead along the road following the left bank of the river and passing through the village of Castel Campeggi where there is this a beautiful votive shrine.
The fields that lie on the plains around Bologna are dotted with these little votive shrines for the most part dedicated to Our Lady, thanking for (or requesting) protection from storms and flooding.
Even today, most of them are well tended and is rare to find one without fresh flowers or abandoned.
The reportage will continue in the forthcoming post where we will talk about food!
(to be continued... here I will insert the links of the next posts of the reportage, come back to check!)

The 10 Greatest Wrestler Glamour Shots of All Time
Many pro wrestlers nowadays craft their ring personalities using some mixture of barbarian aggression and homicidal machismo. But back in the 1980s, Memphis wrestlers Stan Lane and Steve Keirn found success as a tag team known as the Fabulous Ones, whose schtick was that they were happy-go-lucky men of leisure who pumped iron for the ladies.
And to reinforce this maxin'-and-relaxin' playboy persona, the Fabulous Ones posed for what are easily some of the most retroactively hilarious photographs ever taken of adult human beings.
Memphis Wrestling/Flickr
"Saturday, Saturday, Saturday at the Clarksville Civic Center! You bring the entire family, we'll bring our dicks!"
Remember, the Fabulous Ones hailed from a gentler, more yacht-rocking era, so they were able to spin an acclaimed five-year career out of lubing up their torsos, donning bow ties, and obscuring their dongs under a tenuous veil of spandex. And during that period, the Fabs took tons of glamour shots, the likes of which make the Ultimate Warrior look downright Mennonite. Here are 10 of their finest moments, which I have taken the liberty of titling. (NOTE: All titles are also up for grabs as band names.)
#10. "Sebaceous Repose"
Here we have two grown men wearing nothing but puce bikini briefs, assorted pendants and charm bracelets, and an entire industrial drum of canola oil. Now, note their footwear. THIS IS PROOF POSITIVE THAT FLIP-FLOPS DON'T GO WITH ANY OUTFIT WHATSOEVER.
#9. "Turgid Illusionists"
What you're looking at here is every single one of Fred Phelps' nightmares transmuted into the corporeal realm. When he's thrashing around at night, entangled in his quilt -- which is presumably embroidered with passages from Leviticus and scenes of Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt -- Mrs. Phelps wakes him up by shouting, "FRED, CALM DOWN. YOU'RE HAVING THAT DREAM ABOUT THE GAY WARLOCKS AGAIN."
#8. "Maximum Cravat"
I am so fucking disappointed that we don't live in a reality where the Fabulous Ones starred in a sitcom about two Chippendales dancers turned social workers whose penchant for pageantry brought hope to an inner-city youth crisis center. That show, by the way, would have been called Big, Big Brothers.
#7. "The Butt Janus"
Sweet Jesus, gazing upon this picture for 10 seconds is like watching Road House five times in a row. If I were all about the fellas, I'm pretty sure I'd he-bop to this photograph with such unearthly vigor that my gear would eventually resemble one of those port wine cheese logs covered in slivered almonds you find at business-casual cocktail receptions.
#6. "Testosterone Acres"
For whatever reason, the countryside in this shot reminds me of the second season of The Walking Dead, when AMC cut the show's budget and made the cast wander around an apple orchard all season.*
Anyway, that season would've been vastly improved if the characters had stumbled upon a duo of unflappable pretty boys who use their Greco-Roman prowess to suplex zombies. Like, The Walking Dead's shit-smudged survivors are busy boiling their boots when the Fabulous Ones roll up in their banana-yellow pickup truck, blasting "Separate Ways" by Journey. (Sample dialogue: "Hey there, strangers! The walkers swarmed our cabana, but at least we escaped with these great hats!")
*In the course of writing this article, I found myself Googling "WALKING DEAD" + "PRODUCE" + "HERSHEL'S FARM." That's easily the dumbest Internet search I've ever subjected myself to, so according to my own canon, it's a goddamn apple orchard.

I haven't once regretted my decision to concentrate in the Department of Chemistry. Academically, the department brought together many of my interests, including physics, biology, materials, and computation, and was flexible enough to let me sample widely from course offerings in a variety of departments.

The guy who is voldermort boy toy.
Snape is Voldermorts favorite death eater
de Sweeney todd 12 Octombrie 2005
The back-stabbing S.O.B who killed Albus Dumbledore in the 6th Harry Potter Book. Death Eater and servant to Voldemort, or He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named . Many people believe he is "sexy" which is very confusing. How can a man who kills another man, because the phsychotic, controlling freak, also known as Voldemort told him to, be sexy? He is a Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The man who gave him the job, and trusted him enough to let him teach young wizards and witches, including Harry, whom Voldemort,Snape's "master", intends to kill due to a Prophecy, is none other than Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster at Hogwarts. His sisters are Bellatrix and Narcissa, Narcissa the wife of Lucius Malfoy, and the mother of Draco Malfoy, Harry's worst enemy. In short, Snape is a bitch.
Professor Snape has greasy hair.
