*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

"These sneakers are so comfortable right out-of-the-box. No break-in time required. I was able to run 3 miles during my first wearing. I own the blue / lime color and I also own the gray / orange color. I love how the laces are really bright and cheery. I have foot issues but these feel like a dream."

Why are we allowed to own cars that can go over 100 MPH? Who, besides the military and police, needs to have a race car? Many people die each year from race cars, we don't have a need such high powered cars so they should be banned. Those that own race cars think that they are Vin Diesel and are dangerous to society.

No Stranger to Gun Theft Where I Live
Stealing guns is unfortunately, one of the many things people steal to use in crimes. Here, a popular gun store was robbed. The perpetrator(s) took mainly small caliber handguns, and a few rifles. Security cameras weren't able to pick up images in the dim light. The guns haven't been taken off the streets yet. It is a shame.

Robbery was the motive--these were the local savages 16-17 years old.
They had no reason to kill owner except to stop him from identifying them.
In this county the kids carry & rob & kill as early as 11 years old---many of them never live to see 25 years

I was burglarized two weeks ago. The thieves made it into one safe that was a digital keypad with a key overide. Turns out these types of safes are easy to crack with a set of jiggler keys. The big combination safe like you see at Costco are often just as worthless. They have a common 'master' combination and these combos seem to be well known. The safe they didn't get into was a keyed safe with no combo and a type of lock jiggler keys don't work on. Choose your safes carefully and check out the safe cracking vids on Youtube.
Beware the old man with one well worn gun!

I retrofit my cheesy Sentry safe from Mall-Wart with a Mosler group 1b safe lock I got on ebay. Mostly because I'm a wannabe locksmith, but it does provide a bit more security. The lock that came in the Sentry was on par with those cheesy Master combination locks, a la school lockers. Granted, the Sentry won't put up much of a fight if you bring a big enough crowbar, but it is bolted deep into the concrete floor in my garage.
Seriously considering rigging up a big honkin' can of pepper spray in the safe.

Unfortunately the first place those guns will go is the local drug dealer in exchange for (fill in the blank with any illicit drug). Then to other dealers/gang members on the street. They won't go to pawn shops as only on TV do they do that. It will be used in no less than 5 shooting crimes before it has a chance of being recovered. It has a better chance of being sold to an unassuming citizen in a FTF deal if it's a quality piece.
Armslist is growing and more FTF sales are taking place from there every day.
A good safe bolted to floor in a place not thought of by crooks. A good 24/7/366 security monitoring company (alarm) is manditory. Photograph your guns 360° with a good clear shot of the serial number and all accessories you have added. Keep a current up to date copy of your gun collection info ready in case of fire or burglary or other catastrophe. Bad people want your stuff and don't care what they damage to get to it.

Sorry for your neighbor! That's painful in many ways.
My question...and I'm specifically curious about guns (though it can be used on any valuable) do you want the gun / item returned to you if recovered by the police?
There are hundreds of millions of dollars of products sitting in LE evidence rooms across the country. If you have DataDot DNA (yes I'm a distributor) on your valuables after said thief removed the serial number how will LE know who the item belongs to?
Check out this:
CSI Video
Video and Link
And as knowledge of this product continues to increase it becomes an increasingly effective DETERRANT. Subaru dealers in Australia began using it a few years ago and have realized a 67% decrease in theft since they started using it DATA DOT DNA on all their cars. You can put it on any thing (just not a moving part of an item).

Use this site to report a stolen gun or if you wish to buy a used gun. It is probably the best site to check. I do not understand why in this day and age we don't have a national registry for stolen guns. It's the computer age! Any used gun I've purchased FTF was checked here first. It may not be 100% but if enough people use it you can have a site to check before you buy.
When you buy a used gun that goes thru an FFL, do they check the serial# as part of the transfer?

There is a national registry of stolen guns. It's called Triple-I (Interstate Identification Index) and accessing it is as simple as giving a call to your local police department. Usually, LE is very understanding about concerns like this, and will run the serial number for you.
Triple I is the database where ALL serial numbers of stolen firearms are entered. It is national in scope; once serial numbers are entered they are NEVER removed, unless the firearm is recovered.
Dealers and pawn brokers (at least in WA State) retain items for 30 days before selling them. This gives them a chance to check the serial numbers with local law enforcement.
Sadly, most stolen guns will NEVER see a legitimate purchase again. They are far too valuable on the street and the only way we can run them is if they're recovered after a crime has been committed, or they come under examination for any other reason.
Best things to do:
A. Record ALL of your serial numbers. Make copies, and keep them in a safe place.
B. Make sure that your insurance company will replace the guns at REPLACEMENT value, not DEPRECIATED value. Check your policy, too--most companies will only cover firearms for a certain dollar amount. Taking pictures of the guns can be a plus.
C. If you are the victim of a firearms theft, make darned sure that you file a police report. You MUST have the serial number; otherwise even if your gun is recovered, it will not be released to you.

I would love to be able to bolt my safe to the floor but I am a renter. I don't think my land lord would understand me boring holes into the slab through his carpet to accomplish it. I have very limited options for locating it as well. Anyone have suggestions on making it less of a target? Anything done would have to be easily and cheaply repairable. BTW: It currently weighs over six hundred pounds so it would take more than two people to move. I also have a monitored alarm system so any thieves would have to be quick!

a thief recalls
What would I rejoice at taking? A gun safe! In my travels, I have removed some sizeable things. But the best is gun safes. It is a red flag to alert anyone... here is the value. I have many valuable items that I despair at losing... what do I do? 1) I stash in an odd place, like behind the refridgerator. 2) for a valuable piece, that I would grieve over after a fire, I take to a friend or family, if I am to be away. A gun safe? Stupid!

Bar custodian shot at in New Smyrna Beach
23-year-old arrested on aggravated assault charges
A Volusia County man is accused of shooting at another man in the parking lot of a bar in New Smyrna Beach.
Police arrested 23-year-old David Jones on charges of aggravated assault about 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Officials said Jones had been drinking at Moe's Bar and Grill in the 4000 block of South Atlantic Avenue and left at closing, but authorities said he turned around and started pounding on the door.
Officers said a custodian was in the parking lot cleaning and told Jones he should leave. Police said Jones waved a gun around, got into a truck and started to drive away, but then stopped and fired at the custodian.
The custodian was not hurt, according to investigators.

Investigators are looking into whether a jolt from an electrical stun gun while he was in police custody or the ingestion of illegal drugs was the key factor in the death of Charles A. "Ditty" Baker Jr., who was rushed from the Jamestown Police Station lockup after he suffered a seizure there and later died in WCA Hospital.
Chautauqua County District Attorney David F. Foley said Monday he is planning to view video of Baker fighting with police officers as he was being booked Saturday afternoon in the police station. One of the officers subdued the 30-year-old Jamestown resident with a single shot from a Taser electrical stun gun.
"I have instructed my investigator to collect all the information from the Jamestown Police Department, including video footage of the initial encounter in the department," Foley said.
State Commission of Correction investigators also are beginning an independent review of Baker's death, a commission official said Monday. Jamestown police said they notified the commission within six hours of Baker's death, fulfilling a legal requirement under state law.
Police initially declined to release details of the incident, but in offering a fuller account on Monday, they said they welcomed the investigations by Foley and the state commission.
Baker, a former Buffalo resident, initially was detained Saturday when a vehicle in which he was a passenger was stopped for a minor traffic violation at about 12:14 p.m. and the driver gave police a false name. While sitting in the back of a police patrol car, Baker allegedly tried to dispose of several bags of suspected cocaine.
"In an attempt to destroy physical evidence, Baker did smear the substance that was later determined to be cocaine on the seat of the patrol car," Jamestown Police Capt. Robert F. Samuelson said.
Later, at the police garage, a bag of cocaine fell to the ground and Baker allegedly tried to prevent one of the arresting officers from retrieving it by stepping on "the substance and the officer's hand," Samuelson said.
Inside the booking area of the city jail at about 1:10 p.m., yet another bag of cocaine fell from Baker, the captain said.
"Baker then became physically combative in the booking room and had to be subdued with the use of an electronic control device. Baker was brought under control after a single deployment," Samuelson said.
But because Baker continued to behave in an agitated manner, the captain said, he was placed in a jail restraint chair in order to prevent injury to himself and the officers.
Samuelson said there was no truth to reports that Baker had demanded a drink of water and was denied, prompting his outburst.
"At 3:09 p.m. the prisoner was then taken to a cell to utilize the restroom," the captain continued. "The prisoner was secured into a holding cell for further observation. Within seconds of being placed into the holding cell, Baker began to suffer an apparent seizure."
At that point, emergency medical personnel were summoned and Baker was examined and appeared responsive, according to police. At 3:23 p.m., he was transported by ambulance to WCA Hospital in Jamestown.
"At about 4:55 p.m., it was advised that Baker had suffered a second apparent seizure while at WCA Hospital. At 5:25 p.m., the Police Department was advised that Baker had been pronounced dead," Samuelson said.
An autopsy was conducted Monday at the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office but toxicology results, which include testing for drugs, are not expected to be available for weeks, authorities said.
Foley said, "I don't think we'll be able to proceed with any sort of decision on the cause of death until the final autopsy report is prepared and that will include toxicology."
Baker has served three state prison sentences for selling drugs and most recently was released last June, according to state records.
A friend of Baker's said that Baker was a devoted father to his young daughter, Nevaeh, and was in the process of getting his life together.
"He was a great father and now his little girl is going to grow up not knowing her daddy," the friend said, adding that she did not believe the account offered by police.
Samuelson said that the department's administrators already have conducted a preliminary review of the reports and video and at this time "there does not appear to be any violations of any rules and regulations of the Jamestown Police Department."
The woman who was driving the car Baker was in at the time of his arrest was identified as Cindy S. Frank, 40, of Jamestown. Frank was charged with false personation.

FOLLY BEACH - It's been more than three years since the Morris Island Lighthouse received a new, $2 million foundation, and many think its restoration is complete.
Save the Light events
Those working to restore the Morris Island Lighthouse have scheduled these fundraising events for early next year.
Jan. 12 - Oyster roast at Bowen's Island, 2-5 p.m., $25.
Feb. 1 - Save the Light half marathon and 5K, 8:30 a.m.
March 27 - Gala at Tides Folly Beach.
For more information, call 633-0099, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit savethelight.org.
But that's not the case.
The nonprofit Save the Light is launching a new fundraising push in hopes of raising another $2 million for a final set of repairs, including the replacement of its glass lantern and a new paint job that will dramatically change its appearance.
Al Hitchcock, chairman of Save the Light, said raising money for this final phase is more challenging, because the 19th century lighthouse and its new foundation don't face an immediate catastrophic threat from a hurricane or earthquake.
"The hardest part is trying to keep the public motivated to realize that, hey, we've still got to do something to help that lighthouse," Hitchcock said. "That's why we came up with the theme, 'We're not done yet.'"
Hitchcock said the nonprofit has been discussing the possible work with Dick Youtz, a sales engineer with International Chimney Corp., which moved the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina a decade ago.
Youtz, whose company has worked on about three dozen lighthouses on the east and west coasts, has served as a sort of informal consultant to date, reviewing the lighthouse's condition and suggesting what might be feasible, cost-effective repairs.
"The idea that it's done and now we can relax is an unfortunate misconception," Youtz said. "I was overwhelmed at my most recent visit (on Labor Day weekend) at the accelerated deterioration of the structure in recent years. And it's only going to get worse. There is a real sense of urgency."
Youtz said the lighthouse needs to have its lantern replaced so rain no longer leaks into the structure, and it also needs structural work on the gallery level to address rust on the steel brackets.
"Getting it closed up to keep the water and birds out is probably the first priority," he said.
Lastly, the exterior masonry needs repair and repainting to keep moisture out. "If you look at the mortar joints, the black paint was the first to deteriorate because of the surface heat," he said. "Those mortar joints (between bricks) in the black bands are eroded out much deeper than the white band because they've been exposed for a longer time."
Hitchcock said that work is expected to cost more than $2 million, but added, "It's a sizeable project, and we don't have a good handle on it yet."
He said he also is not sure how soon the work could begin; that will depend in part on how quickly the nonprofit can raise money.
Save the Light has a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank, and the state kicks in about $40,000 per year from motorists buying Morris Island Lighthouse license plates.
The nonprofit plans several events in the next few months, including a Jan. 12 oyster roast, to raise more money, and it already has sold $5,000 sponsorships for 30 of the lighthouse's 203 stairs.
"We're really looking for a major sponsor or a major donor," he added. "If we could get that, we might be tempted to borrow more money and make it happen."
The stabilization work on the lighthouse, which involved sinking 68 new micropiles, was completed in the summer of 2010, and Hitchcock said Save the Light supporters are getting excited about the prospects of tackling the final phase.
"We just now can preserve the lighthouse itself," he said. "It's been sitting there for 51 years with no maintenance at all."

Charleston Animal Society will launch No Kill Charleston 2015 at its 139th annual meeting today.
Calling it "the boldest animal care initiative ever undertaken in the Southeast," the society hopes to save every healthy and treatable animal in Charleston County.
Since moving into its current facility on Remount Road in North Charleston five years ago, the society has made strides toward the goal.
In 2007, its Annual Live Release Rate was 34 percent. During the last 12 months the shelter's Live Release Rate exceeded 75 percent. Most other areas of the state realize live release rates of 10 percent to 30 percent, according to the Society.
"We'll ask all citizens for a gift of their time, money and home," said Society Chief Executive Officer Joe Elmore. "An army of volunteers will be needed for foster homes, adoption ambassadors, socialization and off-site education and adoption events. Money will be needed to pay for medications, specialized surgeries and treatment. Homes will be needed for adoptions and fostering. This will be a tremendous challenge for community, but it can be done. We believe in Charleston."
The initiative involves a 10-point plan:
1. Finding homes for homeless animals through adoptions and foster homes.
2. Fighting animal cruelty wherever it exists through assisting law enforcement and advocating for stronger laws.
3. Helping youth understand science through a nationally-recognized veterinary science initiative.
4. Containing outbreaks of deadly diseases through a communitywide rabies vaccination strategy.
5. Reuniting loved ones with their families through an in-depth lost and found program.
6. Saving the lives of abused and abandoned animals through individually customized treatment.
7. Preventing births of unwanted animals through a high volume, high quality, affordable spay/neuter strategy.
8. Guiding children to grow into humanitarians through a comprehensive humane education initiative.
9. Fighting hunger when food is unaffordable through a nonjudgmental pet-focused food bank.
10. Reducing the number of free roaming cats through a trap-vaccinate-alter and return to habitat plan.
Check back later for updates.

Sony Xperia Z vs Apple iPhone 5
With such a big screen and Android, it would be quite unrealistic to expect the battery life of the Xperia Z to be as long as that of the iPhone 5. And you shouldn't! While the theoretical talk- and stand-by times are in favor of the Xperia Z: 14 hours talk-time and 22.1 days stand-by in 3G, versus the iPhone 5's 8 hours talk-time and 9.4 days stand-by, this shouldn't fool you into believing that Sony's handset can last longer, because these statistics do not take into account the power that's drawn by the screen and many other features, which will ultimately swing the pendulum back in favor of the iPhone 5. Of course, it's a ll a matter of choice, because what good is the iPhone 5's battery life if you want to enjoy your movies on a 5" display? Finally, if you do some smart power management, you should be able to get up to two days of use on a single charge with both handsets.
Battery life
We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage. All devices that go through the test have their displays set at 200-nit brightness.
The Xperia Z is a truly impressive phone. It's one of hose few Android devices that manage to be exciting both on the inside and on the outside. It has some indisputable advantages over the iPhone 5 such as its way bigger screen and flexible operating system which allows the user to tweak the experience any way they want.
We should also note, however, that the amount of detail that Apple has paid to pretty much everything in the iPhone 5 is simply mind-boggling. All the aspects of the device have been tweaked with much care, resulting in an especially well-rounded smarpthone.
If a simple to use, reliable and capable handset is what you are after, iPhone 5 should be the way to go. On the other hand, if you desire a true multimedia powerhouse and something with more personalization options, the Xperia Z will be the better choice for you.

As usual iPhone wins this game. We know that's from the beginning when visiting PhoneArena.
However I totally agree about the screen and camera. The camera of Sony's recent phones are very disappointing. But anyway Android is way better than iOS, so overall for me Xperia Z is much more superior than the flat boring iPhone.
4. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
How exactly did the iPhone5 win against the xperia z?it's only better in terms of image,video and call quality but other than that xperia tops it all
6. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Yes, that's exactly what I said, only the screen and camera (I don't care abt call quality) are two areas Xperia loses against iPhone, the the rest are not.
And the most important, it's running Android.
10. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I don't think that iPhone 5 camera is better...
52. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3791; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Cool down boys...cool down!
Why don't we dunk, hell dip!!!, them two smartphones in the water and see who wins??
Ray S, please??? Can you try that?
We all know which phone is going to win hands down in real time challenge...
63. timaustin2000 (Posts: 39; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
I agree, PhoneArenaUser - check the focal length, people. The crop means that the Z's image is zoomed in far more than the 5's. Zoom both to the same framing or, better yet, frame them identically when you take the photograph. Now I'm not going to say that the Xperia ain't a little softer on detail, it is, but zoom the iPhone in to match the crop of the Xperia and you're going to get a mess of blocky pixels: no better.
And the video may be darker on the Xperia but i'm looking at the detailing - the window, the cracks in the road: they're both sharper on the Xperia.
This seems rushed to me.
65. timaustin2000 (Posts: 39; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
Hold on,... is it me or is the zoom tool used on the comparison shots a different size?! Open a couple of browser windows, guys: compare them. The zoom window used on the iPhone is clearly cropping a different ratio to the Xperia.
I'm more than happy to accept that the Xperia is inferior if the side by side comparison was fair. Forgive me, Phonearena, but there seems some jiggery-pokery going on, whether intentional or not.
Poor show.
13. gmracer1 (Posts: 646; Member since: 28 Dec 2012)
You are a smacktard. The iPhone 5 doesn't even have a full 720p screen. And Sony makes the iPhone's camera, btw.
Sigh...another clueless fanboy.
28. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Dude, you are the "smacktard" here. A good screen is not just about dpi, you know. I'm not praising the iphone(God knows how I "love" the iphone) but it has one of the best display out there.
And so what's with sony making the iphone's camera?! Doesn't change the fact that the iphone's camera is better than the one on the XZ.
44. gmracer1 (Posts: 646; Member since: 28 Dec 2012)
LMMFAO I love when people try to talk sh*t and don't even have a clue. Do you what DPI even means? DPI = Dots Per Inch. When did I ever talk about DPI, in my comment?
Yeah, the Retina display is nice, but the ONLY good looking thing on the iPhone screen is the icons.......and that's it. Go compare a YouTube video on both the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S3. You will see such a difference. The S3 (which has a full 720p screen) shows a gorgeous playback--without the fuzz and color fade that the iPhones show. Hell, even my Razr Maxx has better video playback quality than the iPhone.
I work in this business, pimpslice. I deal with these phones every single day. Until you know exactly what you're talking about, please refrain from commenting.
And here are a few fun facts for ya:
Computer monitors use the DPI measurement. Cell phones use the PPI (pixels per inch) measurement.
iPhone 5 screen = 640 x 1136 @ 326ppi
Galaxy S3 screen = 720 x 1280 @ 306ppi
Razr Maxx screen = 540 x 960 @ 256ppi
75. daftastic (Posts: 87; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
Your argument fell upon itself. The denser the screen the better the picture.
e.g. 720p on 3.5 inch screen will always look better than 720p on a 13.5 inch screen.
79. gmracer1 (Posts: 646; Member since: 28 Dec 2012)
You would really try to cram 720 lines on a 3.5" screen? It would look blotchy. It's like when someone tries to shrink an 8MP picture into a thumbnail--trying to maintain all quality. It looks like crap until it's blown up into a larger picture. Even comparing my Nexus 7's screen to the S3's (both 720p), I find the Nexus' picture to be finer. If the Nexus' pixel count was higher, it would be even better.
Another great example is on tv's. Ever see the 20"-32" range tv's that have a supposed 1080p resolution? They look like crap. Compare those little tv's to ones in the range of 50" and higher (both 720p and 1080p).
80. daftastic (Posts: 87; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
Not literally of course. The point is the denser the screen the better. A 128DPI screen playing a 720p video would look worse than a 300+PPI playing the same video right? Which is why 720p videos look crisper on mobile devices than laptops/computers.
I dunno about you, but text in my 1080p 22" Samsung LED show chromatic aberration compared to my 13" Macbook LCD screen.
82. gmracer1 (Posts: 646; Member since: 28 Dec 2012)
Have you recalibrated your tv--if even possible? I know it's usually a problem with the lens(es).
127. tokyojo (Posts: 2; Member since: 12 Mar 2013)

iPhone 5 better than xperia Z? Im not suprised that iPhoneArena would say this. But i checked out other sources they said that xperia Z is better and in my opinion, Xperia Z is clearly a better and more capable phone.This comparison is nonesense. comparing a sexy rugged smartphone to a brick phone.
2. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
Xperia Z all the way.
for the attention of those who criticize Sony's camera. just take a look at pictures taken by both devices and see how Sony put Iphone into shame.
3. Savage (unregistered)
So Xperia Z is not reliable and capable?
Well done Ray.

Just look at this: "The CPU is accompanied by the Adreno 320 GPU, which is also quite powerful" and now for the iPhone: "The GPU is the powerful PowerVR SGX543MP3". PhoneArena = Apple and Samsung slaves.
5. aokde (Posts: 186; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
ofcourse, according to iphonearena iphone 5 is not beatable. i really don't understand you ray, iphone is passé.

Sony Xperia Z is better!

what we see here is a phone which has a 8.5 score can defeat a 9 point scorer. thats interesting.

Haha, as soon as I read the word "superior", I pronounced it in my mind with the accent of Ray, and in an instant I knew that the Xperia was lost.
16. kobainez (Posts: 429; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
So where's the screen comparison? I bet if there's a screen comparison Iphonearena wouldn't turn on the bravia engine. I think this xperia Z is not the retail one just a pre production unit. Other sites the xperia Z camera is superior to Iphone 5 camera. This site is the most biased site ever!
20. kobainez (Posts: 429; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Now all of U xperia Z haters look at this and tell me which one better. This is screen comparison from other websiteshttp://i582.photobucket.com/al
bums/ss269/netbookc/XB1/viPhonXperia screen is superior to Iphone 5 screen and im nt just saying there's the link e5_2.jpg
39. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
A low-res dark room photo from the front is hardly doing any justice, you'll use it mostly under heavy light and mostly a bit off perfect viewing angle, and that's where the TFT suffers. Look at black levels and contrast here:
In any case I'd easily pick up the Sony between the two.
46. kobainez (Posts: 429; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Stop posting protoype unit of the Z. Xperia Z screen is better than most of them only the viewing angles is a lil bad. I dont watch my phone sideways like most Crapmoled fans would do
49. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
not a prototype unit dummy, it has the release HW & SW and produces the same results your certified official reviews mention heh
It has a TFT screen. Deal with it.

Don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but the viewing angles of the Xperia Z are terrible and fall flat against S-LCD etc.
Just pointing it out looking from your link, but otherwise the screen beats the others. Just not in viewing angles.
128. tokyojo (Posts: 2; Member since: 12 Mar 2013)
Yes im now convinced thankyou
17. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2115; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
I don't understand why reviewers point out that the Iphone's OS is easier to use. Obvously, there is such thing as a manual for all phones, including Android, for those that find it hard to use (which I don't see why anyone would), so I don't see what makes it harder to use.
61. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
we should VOTE & petition too GET RID OF RAY for his unbiased reviews HE should moved to this biased blog site ibgr.com
18. RobotMan (Posts: 145; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Every reviewer forget to mention that you have to pay for flash browser in ios but you can get it for free in android.
19. pyradark (Posts: 857; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
Wait a minute, they say xperia z average contrast and saturation, did the reviewer forgot that this phone support display calibration. Means they can adjust saturation, so they dont brag the bravia engine is only for photo and video!!
My god theres so much features in this phone and yet they judge it biased.
38. giri555 (Posts: 111; Member since: 15 Mar 2012)
he didnt 'forget' he ignored...
68. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
even lowering the brightness can already make a world of difference. the greying of the on-screen capacitive buttons already shouts excessive brightness of the display.
21. 2beornot2be (Posts: 1; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
I don't understand how this guy still does tech reviews. What is the point? I already know what he is going to promote.
22. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
hints that the reviewer is indeed biased:
1. the display comparison shows the xperia z at high brightness with the awful homescreen that uses a faded image. look at how the on-screen capacitive buttons grey out. in the actual device, those are supposed to be as black as they could get. evidences avallable at the xda xperia z thread. the IPHONE display is ADMITTEDLY SUPERIOR but the xperia z's isn't as inferior as what the reviewer wants to make it out.
2. the camera still and video samples are dubious. photos and videos posted by those who have already bought the xperia z (in japan and singapore in particular) show brighter and clearer results.
3. comparison of loudspeaker does not make sense. what i know is most people listen to their smartphones' music through earphones. the people i know who listen to music through their loudspeakers are those who can't afford to buy good enough speaker systems. it's a different issue if the loudspeaker is used for communication. in this case, a very loud output is not that necessary.
the reviewer is basically nitpicking to make the iphone look better or the device being reviewed is not what the actual xperia z really is. if sony gave them such a defective device, it's sony's fault. i can't really believe those are photos taken by the z when many other photos uploaded online are significantly better.
24. kobainez (Posts: 429; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Its a seriously stupid screen comparison from phone arena. Why dont they compare the screen with the same pictures? Why they compare the home screen with different wallpapers? super biased if u asked me!

And that's why I never trust photo and video samples from single source because they easily may be "corrected" by biased reviewer!

these guys got it wrong from the start...i dont know if this is real bias or lack of ability from them to fairly compare the two devices.....

Also the Xperia Z has a better music player compared to the iPhone 5, because it has more features like equalizer (iPhone 5 has a preset equalizer, but the Xperia has preset and manual equalizer) and 3D surround (with studio, club or concert Hall modes)

Can't wait for the S3 comparison :D
32. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
well s3 will win definitely. it's phonearena after all. the scores the site has given is enough hint.

bitch dont even try to compare SIII with Xperia Z ..Z simply wins :P

I remember pictures of the dress and sweater but they weren't nearly as darling until you put little Ivy in them!ReplyDelete

I went and checked out the post from may when you bought the dress and I realize I have not bought a dress yet for mine.
I'll have to do that after christmas and get a pretty one on sale that i think will be appropriate because I KNOW she will be here before easter. (i told her she had to be)

That is the most darling dress and baby I've ever seen. Too freakin' cute!ReplyDelete
She is so cute and you did a fabulous job on the sweater. The dress is darling too. She just looks adorable.ReplyDelete
Cutest little dress. Adorable!ReplyDelete
It's beautiful! Where'd you get the pattern from?
She is such a peach. My mother called me peach fuzz for my hair, but she is edible like a peach! Those cheeks! YUMMY!
And the dress is KILLING me!
No way I'm going to stop ya! Keep loving on that girl!ReplyDelete
She is sooo gorgeous and so is the dress and sweater!!ReplyDelete
I just fainted from cuteness overload. Also? I am totally envious of your knitting skills. It's a good thing my SIL knits because I am hopeless!ReplyDelete
You did great on the sweater! The dress is beautiful and she is too sweet for wordsReplyDelete
Oh My. Gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh.. that baby is gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness...my eyes are aching from such toxic levels of sweetness!ReplyDelete
Seriously, I am not sure how you keep from posting many more pics of her all the time, she is simply adorable! Come to think of it, all of your children are...hmmm, good DNA? :)ReplyDelete
gorgeous dress and the sweater is beautiful. I wish I could pull something like that off!ReplyDelete
absolutely beautiful! I wish I could make sweaters... I'm doing good to make jumpers, skirts and dresses!ReplyDelete
so beautiful!ReplyDelete
OMG, gorgeous! She looks so much like Gray in those pictures!!ReplyDelete
Oh Stephanie little Ivy is such a beauty!! What a blessing!ReplyDelete
Such a sweet outfit!
I feel exactly the same way about my baby girl! I just want her to stay so sweet and little forever...I just wish she'd sleep through the night!
So sweet! And the smile goes perfectly with the outfit!ReplyDelete
very cute! great job on the sweater!
came over from Newbaby.com
Oh my goodness! What a precious little girl (and outfit!). She is just darling!ReplyDelete
She can't possibly get anymore sweeter than this or I'll get a toothache!
So fun dressing a girl up!
Aren't girls so much fun?!?
You did a GORGEOUS job with that sweater.
That dress is even cuter on than it was on the hanger - and the sweater is the perfect icing for it!ReplyDelete

Shell Chair

In 1997, the Shell Chair was relaunched by Wegner and Carl Hansen, and finally got the attention it so obviously deserves. Then, as if to prove its popular acceptance and pedigree, one of the original Shell Chairs from the 60's sold for $20,000 at Christie's in London in 1999.
To add to the Shell Chair's collection of accolades, the chair was given the highest possible grade in The Technological Institute of Denmark's test program in 1999.
- 3 legs give the Shell Chair a unique look and a remarkably stable base
- Front legs are one continuous piece that wraps under the seat, and the rear leg is a separate piece
- Solid, long-lasting form-pressed plywood construction
- 2 upholstered cushions, fastened to the shell with screws from the back and bottom
- Comfortably provided with Maharam fabric upholstery
The Fabric:
- Maharam The Firm fabric by Sarah Morris
- 75% Polyester, 25% Cotton
- Abrasion: >40,000 double rubs
- Contributes to LEED MR Credit 6, Rapidly Renewable Materials

About The Manufacturer
The family-owned Carl Hansen & Son has been producing hand-made pieces since 1908. However, it was not until the late 1940s that the Danish furniture house, under the direction of Holger Hansen (the "Son"), joined forces with Hans Wegner and began a partnership that would help further not just the company but the entire Danish Modern design style. Wegner's unique, modern designs initially tested the company's production team as it had previously dedicated itself to more traditionally home-style pieces. Under Holger Hansen's guidance the partnership flourished; in the 1950s and 1960s the Carl Hansen Company and Hans Wegner both received international acclaim for their boundary-pushing work. One of the first pieces to emerge from this partnership was the Wishbone Chair, one of four chairs that Wegner designed specially for Carl Hansen in 1949. While the company faced difficulties during the second half of the 20th century, including Holger Hansen's sudden death in 1962, Carl Hansen & Son persevered and began the 21st century with a renewed focus, set on bringing Danish Modern furniture back to the center of the design world. Since 2001, when grandson Knud Erik Hansen assumed control of the company, Carl Hansen & Son has expanded in Denmark, continued to produce top-quality, hand-crafted furniture, gone on producing successful Wegner designs, and introduced new, previously unseen pieces from the legendary Danish designer.

Hans Wegner
One of the prime influences in Danish Modern design during its formative years, Hans Wegner first began to design furniture after attending the Carpenters' Guild Furniture Exhibits in Copenhagen, Denmark. Shortly after completing his studies at what is now The Danish Design School, he was tasked by Arne Jacobsen with designing all the furniture of his Arhus City Hall. After working with Jacobsen for a short time, he began designing furniture for the Carl Hansen & Son furniture company in 1949. From that partnership came classics such as the Wishbone Chair, Elbow Chair, Shell Chair, and Wing Chair. Still as fresh now as they were then, these enduring pieces of modern furniture bear testimony to Wegner's craftsmanship and inspiration.

New Gear for 2014!
Dye Precision i4 Mask System
In a nutshell, the Dye Precision i4 Mask is the smallest, lightest, lowest profile and best field of vision mask available. Below are some of the really great features that have been incorporated:
- The i4 Rapid Lens Change System – A revolutionary patent pending rapid lens change system allows you to change the lens within 10 seconds or less. It is the quickest and easiest lens changing system in today's paintball world. The unique design of two tabs allows you to remove the current lens and replace or clean it with ease. There are no separate parts that need to be taken off, and no extra pieces in your hand to make changing difficult.
- 290 Degrees of Horizontal and Peripheral Vision – The i4 offers more vertical and horizontal peripheral vision than any other mask system on the market. Clear unobstructed vision both up and down allows you to clearly see all of the field details without constantly moving your head. This makes movement much easier to recognize and provides you with a clear visual advantage. Combined with this is
their optically correct tirodial impact lens that provides optical clarity and sharpness while protecting your eyes.
- Comolded Soft Low Profile Mask – The i4 goggle system provides you with comfort, rigidity and lightweight protection with this one piece, dual infected mask.
Check out all of the colors that the Dye Precision i4 Mask comes in, all available on our website:
Dye Precision UL Pants
Check out these Dye Precision UL Pants! According to Dye, these pants make you FASTER! How? You may be asking, well here is their answer:
"These pants were created with the athlete in mind, providing the perfect combination of flexibility, durability, and style. We know that paintball players need more flexibility, more breathability, and less bulkiness to reach their highest potential on the playing field. Only Dye Ultralite Pants can provide athletes with all three. Play a tournament with Dye Ultralite pants and watch how much faster you make it to your bunker off the break, notice how much easier it is to stay alive on the field, and stay cooler and perform better when every second counts."

I've been telling folks I know for quite awhile now that they have got to start tring the wines out of Spain and Portugal as they been producing some serious wines that represent tremendous quality-to-price ratio.
These three wines are ones that the yellowtail kool-aid drinkers need to try and get ready to step up to the plate of a more serious propisition. Hey, if you want to keep drinking Yellowtail then knock yourself out – if that's where you're at; however, if you want to get more serious about good wine then you should give any of these three wines heavy consideration.
On the flip-side of things, I know more folks are also looking for ways to stretch their dollars for good wines – rather than buy a single $20 bottle, for example, they are buying two $10 bottles – more bang for the buck.
As a champion of the people, I got your back – I feel ya – and I think these wines will rock you for the money.
2006 Protos Ribera Duero (Spain) – W.E.P. Rating: 125%
Winery website: www.bodegasprotos.com/en/
Technical Data:
- Alcohol degree: 13.5 º
- Total acidity: 5.0 g/ l in tartaric
- Volatile Acidity: 0.49 g/l in acetic
- pH: 3.69
- Price: $9
Nose: Nice hints of cedar box, some forest funk, dried cherries and hints of leather and tobacco. I also get some bubble-gum-laced venison.
Taste: Wicked amounts of cedar strips across the tongue which are balanced with a good sense of fruit and leather. On the way down the hatch, I also get great notes of tobacco and cocoa. This is a really complex wine that initally sort of fooled me into thinking it was very one-dimensional, however, as it opened up it revealed its true character of good complexity. My main issue is the relatively short-finish.
Side note: when paired with the Smoked Cheddar from these guys: http://www.whohascheese.com/ – it has a PROFOUND finish of what Motor Oil smells like – huge fan of this action.
2007 Bodegas Vina Elena "Los Cucos" Cabernet Sauvignon – W.E.P. Rating: 125%
Winery Website: www.vinaelena.com
Technical Data:
- Alcohol: 14%
- Grapes: 100% Cab
- Region: Jumilla
- Price: $10
Nose: dried red fruits on the nose here – rapsberry, cherries and faint hints of strawberry pop-tarts. White pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and fruit-cake.
Taste: Carmel-laced red fruits on the attack, with nice layers of dark chocolate – good layers of spicey blackberry fruits and a solidly long finish for the money. This is a great "cheap-cab" wine when you want something to fit the bill in a pinch that doesn't break the bank-account. In fact, I'd easily put it toe-to-toe with cabs in the $15-range.
2007 Berco do infante Reserva – W.E.P. Rating: 150%
Technical Data:
- Varieties: Aragonês (50%) and Castelão (50%)
- Analitic Parameters
- Alcohol: 12,5%
- Total Acidity: 6,5 g/L
- pH: 3,53
- Producer: Martim Joanes Gradil -Sociedade Vitivinícola, Lda Dão Sul
- Price: $8
Nose: Hints of cherry, blueberry, eucalyptus, tobacco, tar and leather and cinnamon-spiced cocoa.
Taste: Soft tannins give way to spicy red fruits on the attack – some very nice sour-patch candy on the end which balances the jamminess of the fruit. This wine is an easy no-brainer that should be the defact replacement wine for anyone out there caught up into the Yellow-tail kool-aid action. If you're one of those snobs who think there are no great wines under $20 – this wine is for you.

Well, if you must use a live auditor, and a meter, I suppose it's OK.
Joking aside, I've heard this works out quite well if you insist on that regular stuff. It's obviously not as good as face-to-face auditing in the same room, but that is only in theoretical terms, balanced against the advantages of being audited at home instead of maybe several thousand miles away from home with the added expense and inconvenience and time off work etc.
Stress-release sessions free of charge available 24/7 from PaulsRobot3, exactly personalized. E.g., address "My abusive Uncle David." Download to your own computer or use online. No cost to you at all. One zip file contains the whole lot: 7950+ files, 352 MB, 30 session modules, HTML web pages and mp3s only, no javascript, no executable programs. Mostly non-Scn.

New bankruptcy filings in Buffalo jumped in October from a year earlier, in the biggest one-year increase in nearly three years.
According to new figures from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York, the number of new cases submitted to the Buffalo and Rochester courts last month rose 7.1 percent, to 571 from 533.
That was driven by a 13 percent increase in Buffalo filings, to 409 from 362 – the largest gain since December 2009. Meanwhile, Rochester filings fell 5.3 percent, to 162 from 171, continuing a multiyear trend of declining new cases.
Bankruptcy filings have been falling almost every month since early 2010, as the recession and sluggish economic recovery have taken their toll on Americans. While the economy has now started to show some signs of improvement, conditions had become so bad for many debtors that they could not even afford the court and attorney fees to file for bankruptcy protection, and didn't have enough income or assets to need protection from creditors. As a result, many simply walked away from debts, and filings plunged steadily.
So far this year, total filings have fallen 11.4 percent to 5,367 throughout the district, which also includes smaller courts in Olean, Batavia and Watkins Glen. That includes a 10.1 percent drop in Buffalo, to 3,551, and a 13.7 percent decline in Rochester, to 1,816.
Debtors can file for protection under one of several sections or chapters of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 7 allows either consumers or businesses to liquidate their assets to pay off whatever they can, while erasing the rest of their unsecured debts – such as credit cards – so they can start over. Chapters 11 and 13 require businesses and consumers, respectively, to file reorganization plans to repay debts over time.
For October, there were 356 cases filed under Chapter 7, including 245 in Buffalo and 111 in Rochester. All but two in Buffalo and five in Rochester were individual or consumer cases.
There were also 208 Chapter 13 cases, including 157 in Buffalo and 51 in Rochester. All but two in Buffalo were individual cases. And there were seven Chapter 11 filings, all in Buffalo.
So far this year, debtors have filed 3,883 Chapter 7 cases, 1,439 Chapter 13 cases and 43 Chapter 11 cases in Western New York, plus two filings under other portions of the federal law.
Geographically in October, 304 cases were filed in Erie County and 42 in Niagara County, leading the eight-county Buffalo area. Another 18 were filed in Chautauqua County, 14 in Genesee County, 13 in Cattaraugus County, eight in Wyoming County and five each in Allegany and Orleans counties.

Bachelor of Engineering Curriculum
The requirements for the bachelor's degree programs must be completed within four years of first registration, except with the explicit consent of the dean/associate dean. Requests for extension must be presented in writing to the dean's office prior to the sixth semester of registration (or the end of the junior year). It is the responsibility of the student to maintain normal and reasonable progress toward the degree. If courses aremade up elsewhere for credit, the student is responsible for all costs incurred.Prior appropriate adviser(s) approval is required. If a student elects to take additional courses at other institutions, the studentmust do so (a) with prior academic approval if transfer credit is desired and (b) at his or her own expense.
As a general matter, many courses simply may not be taken elsewhere (e.g., Physics I). In order to get a course pre-approved, bring as much course documentation as you can to the Chair of the appropriate department to have the course assessed. These materials must include at least the syllabus and textbook. The course must be judged to be equivalent to one taught at Cooper. Note that only grades "B" or better can be transferred (not B-) and the grade will not be factored into your G.P.A.
Additionally, ABET accreditation requires:
- One year of a combination of mathematics and sciences (some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline,
- One and a half years of engineering topics consisting of engineering sciences and engineering design appropriate to the student's field of study and
- A general educational component that complements the technical content of the curriculumand is consistentwith the program and institutional objectives.
Inorder to graduate, all students must meet the following conditions:
- A minimumof 135 credits are required
- Satisfaction of all programcurricula
- Satisfaction of the residence study requirements
- A minimum grade point average (G.P.A.) of 2.0
- A minimum grade point average (G.P.A.) of 2.0 for the junior and senior years combined
Humanities and Social Sciences
The requirements in this area are satisfied by courses offered by The Cooper Union Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences or by transfer credit for liberal arts courses taken at other institutions. The courses in this area are intended to provide both breadth and depth and should not be limited to a selection of unrelated introductory courses. The Cooper Union liberal arts courses, shown elsewhere in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences catalog section, have prefixes H, S and HTA.The basic courses HSS1–HSS2 and HSS3–HSS4 are prerequisites for all higher level courses in the same prefix family. H and S courses carry three credits each; HTA courses carry two credits. Engineering students should consult with the dean of Humanities and Social Sciences about choice of courses to satisfy particular interests.
Transfer credits for liberal arts courses must be approved by the dean of Humanities and Social Sciences. Courses that cannot be used to satisfy the Humanities and Social Sciences requirement are:
- Language skills courses such as introductory foreign language, public speaking, report writing
- Craft and performance courses unless accompanied by theory or history
- Subjects such as accounting, finance, engineering economy, industrialmanagement, personnel administration
Some programs require "free electives or non-technical electives." For transfer credit for particular courses, the School of Art or the School of Architecture may be a more appropriate authority to sanction the transfer. Students who are uncertain should approach the Office of the Dean of Engineering in the first instance and be directed to the correct group of faculty.
Program Requirements
The specific programs for entering students are shown in detail in the curriculum tables. From time to time, changes are made to these programs following curricular developments authorized by the faculty. Advances in technology and new technologies are closely monitored and are reflected by adjustments in all the engineering programs.
