Fire danger levels continue to rise in the Granite State, causing strong brush fires.
Firefighters from several surrounding towns assisted the Loudon Fire Department on Saturday after receiving a call for a brush fire in the Berry Road area.
Officials said several acres were destroyed and crews took a few hours to get the fire under control.
According to officials, there was also a three-alarm brush fire in Boscawen.
There were no reports of any property damage for either incident, but officials want everyone to keep an eye out for potentially dangerous brush fires that are naturally caused by dry air.

Palak Bhajia - Spinach Fritters
Here's a palak bhajiya recipe from my drafts, a quick tea time snack.
A handful big spinach leaves, cleaned & wiped dry
Oil for deep frying
For the batter:
1/2 cup besan/chickpea flour
1 tsp rice flour
1 tsp red chili powder/cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp warm oil
a pinch each of heeng/asafoetida and turmeric (optional both)
salt to taste
water for mixing
In a deep pot, heat oil for deep frying (about 350 degrees)
Mix the batter ingredients together to form a slightly thick, lump-free batter. The batter would be thicker than pancake batter.
Dip each spinach leaf one by one in this batter and deep fry in hot oil until crispy brown.
The chickpea and rice flours can be substituted with corn flour and all purpose flour with the addition of 1 tsp baking soda.

DeLand, Fla. - The Stetson softball team (15-10) celebrated Strike Out Cancer Day at Patricia Wilson Field in style on Saturday, sweeping visiting Savannah State (11-18) 5-2 and 9-1 in a doubleheader. Sophomore pitcher/designated player Meredith Owen (Jackson, Miss.) earned a win and a save on the day and also belted her third home run of the season.
The Hatters honored survivors, fighters and victims of all forms of cancer throughout the day, including several moving testimonials written by Stetson softball players to their loved ones that have battled the disease.
The Hatters notched four runs in the bottom of the first inning of Game 1, aided in large part by sloppy Savannah State defense. SSU committed three errors in the first, including a throwing error on a bunt single by junior third baseman Jordan Cleghorn (Ball Ground, Ga.) that allowed three runs to score, including Cleghorn herself racing all the way around the bases before the ball could be retrieved from the left field corner.
The Lady Tigers plated two runs of their own on a two-out rally in the third, but a Stetson insurance run on another two-out SSU error in the bottom of the sixth was more than enough to finish the visitors off. Senior left fielder Brittany Knipp (Land O'Lakes, Fla.) had two base hits in the opener while sophomore center fielder Chrissy Morello (Ormond Beach, Fla.) swiped her 11th and 12th bases of the season.
Freshman pitcher Courtney Brandt (Dade City, Fla.) pitched the first four innings and struck out four to earn her seventh win of the year. Owen relieved her for the final three frames and held Savannah State scoreless on one hit with three strikeouts to earn her first career save.
Although shortstop India Morgan put the Lady Tigers on top 1-0 in the top of the first with an RBI single, the Hatters would quickly tie the game and go on to score in every inning and win via the eight-run rule in five innings. Owen tied the game with an RBI single to right field in the bottom of the first and later drilled a solo shot to left center field with two out in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Stetson took the lead for good in the bottom of the second as yet another two-out error by SSU plated the go-ahead run and set the stage for senior shortstop Chelsey Trotto (Lantana, Fla.) to drive a two-run single up the middle for a 4-1 advantage. The Hatters would also get two-out RBI later in the ballgame from freshman catcher Allison Sutherlin (Huntsville, Ala.) and senior first baseman Carolyn Boyd (Germantown, Tenn.).
Brandt triggered the run-rule with a wind-blown RBI single to right field in the bottom of the fifth that plated Knipp for the 9-1 victory.
Owen struck out seven Lady Tigers in Game 2 for a total of 10 on the day, scattering one run on two hits with no walks in four innings for the victory. Brandt pitched the final frame and struck out two. Owen, Sutherlin and Trotto recorded multi-RBI games with Knipp and Cleghorn stealing bases; Cleghorn's stolen base was her first of the season.
Stetson will host Atlantic Sun Conference rival North Florida in a 4:00 pm Monday doubleheader at Patricia Wilson Field, marking the opening of the crucial 18-game A-Sun slate for the Hatters. Live Stats and Hatter Vision will be available at GoHatters.com.

True story of our second swingers party

Some things you just can't help but to witness.

My wife Crystal and I have been married for twenty years and needless to say our sex life is very much alive. I would say we have sex about two maybe three times a day.

A runner will do anything to take home the gold.
Every four years, the TV networks design their "Road to the Games" mini-bios about the athletes to stir the heartstrings. With moving soundtracks, they go on and on about perseverance, courage, and just about every type of sacrifice. I haven't seen my profile yet. When it comes to sacrifice, it probably doesn't say anything about backroom blowjobs. Or worse. "Runners, to your marks..." As...Read On

Patricia was blackmailing her mother in order to get me into bed and I wasn't very reluctant.
It's been three weeks since the Christmas party and I haven't heard a thing, so maybe Cynthia and her daughter got things worked out. The longer I don't hear anything the better the chances that I never will. Since that day, all I can do is think about Cynthia. She actually seduced me!

The sacrifices coaches have to endure for their team.
I have been coaching my granddaughter, Michele, in gymnastics for sixteen years. I have taught her every apparatus and floor routine. Michele was in diapers when we started simple rolls. She was on top of the world holding number one all around, until puberty. Her body flowered and her breasts grew to a D cup. She could not manipulate her balance. Michele floundered. Sadly, she missed...Read On

saying goodbye to Brittany was sad but fun.
It was the last week of Brittany's visit; her dad had limited how much she was allowed out. I guess him knowing that she was seeing a boy who was obviously having sex with her didn't help. We still talked a lot and sent each other dirty messages. Alisa had also gotten back to me, and I had been to her place a few times to have sex with her.

Young man cools off with a hot MILF.
I mowed yards over the summer to make money to help pay for my college tuition. My best client was a friend of my father named, Mr. Jackson. Although he had a big yard, he paid me well for mowing it. Plus he had a hot wife, a total MILF, about 20 years his junior that always laid by the pool while I mowed. Ogling her hourglass figure draped in a barely there bikini was a definite fringe...Read On

Highs and lows of the Pittsburgh Pirates' 2012 season.
Final record: 79-83
Notable: The Pirates' 79 wins this year was their most since the 1997 team also won 79.
Final National League Central Division finish: Fourth place, 18 games behind the first-place Cincinnati Reds.
Final wild card standing: Fifteen games behind the Atlanta Braves for the top wild card playoff spot, and nine games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card spot.
Home record: 45-36 - the best in the Pirates' 12-year history at PNC Park.
Road record: 34-47
All-stars: Center fielder Andrew McCutchen, closer Joel Hanrahan.
Season turning point (division race): The Pirates were in second place with a 63-47 record and trailed the Reds by only 2 1/2 games entering play on Aug. 9. But a 5-13 skid over their next 18 games dropped the Pirates nine full games behind the Reds and into third place in the division on Aug. 27.
Season turning point (top wild card playoff position): The Pirates trailed top wild-card finisher Atlanta by just one-half game on Aug. 9. The Bucs won just nine their next 29 games, though, as the Braves expanded their lead over Pittsburgh to eight games by Sept. 10.
Season turning point (second wild card playoff position): After defeating St. Louis, 6-3 in 19 innings at Busch Stadium Aug. 19, the Pirates had a 67-54 record and were two games ahead of the Cardinals for the second wild card position. But the Bucs won only six of their next 24 games to fall three games behind St. Louis, two games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, and a half-game behind Milwaukee for the second wild card by Sept. 17.
Season turning point (winning season): The Pirates won just four of 21 games between Aug. 31 and Sept. 22, dropping three games under .500 at 74-77.
Biggest acquisition (trade deadline): The Houston Astros' massive fire sale continued this July, and the Pirates plucked veteran left-handed pitcher Wandy Rodriquez from the Astros in a trade in which the Pirates relinquished several prospects, including standout pitcher Rudy Owens.
Biggest acquisition (offseason): Veteran right-handed starting pitcher A.J. Burnett got a new life in Pittsburgh after a so-so tenure with the New York Yankees. Acquired by the Pirates in a trade for minor league prospects last November, Burnett went 16-10 with a 3.51 earned run average and 180 strikeouts in 31 starts.
Biggest statistic: The Pirates' .308 winning percentage (16-36 record) from Aug. 8 through the end of the season was the National League's worst.
Hidden statistic: Hanrahan recorded his 34th save of the season Aug. 17 in St. Louis, then didn't get another save opportunity until September 15, when he picked up his 35th, at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs.
Interesting statistic: The Pirates scored a total of just 147 runs in April and May combined, then led all of Major League Baseball with 146 runs scored in the month of June. Pittsburgh averaged less than three runs per game through its first 50 games in April and May, before averaging 5.4 runs per game through 27 games in June.
Best run: The Pirates were 20-24 and in fourth place, five games out of first, on May 23. A 28-13 run in their next 41 games put them in first place, by one game, at the All-Star break with a 48-37 record.
Worst run: The Pirates won just 10 of 35 games from Aug. 9-Sept. 16, a slide that put a damper on their playoff prospects and began to call the prospect of a winning season into question.
Biggest question mark (s) entering the offseason: There are plenty surrounding the pitching staff ... again. After an outstanding first half that had his name bandied about for All-Star consideration, right-hander James McDonald faltered miserably in the second half of the season and was removed from the rotation in late September. Veteran lefty Erik Bedard, a free-agent acquisition last offseason, was expected to provide stability, but he didn't pitch well enough to last out the season. Right-hander Charlie Morton spent most of the season on the disabled list for the second time in three seasons, and right-hander Jeff Karstens missed considerable chunks of the season with various injuries. Righty Kevin Correia bounced around between the starting rotation and the bullpen. He's a free agent who may not be re-signed. Even staff ace Burnett slipped in August and September.
Best reason to watch this year's Pirates: Due to the newly-established second wild-card playoff spot, the 2012 season was the Pirates' most interesting one, wire-to-wire, in nearly two decades.
Best reason to tune out: None until late in September.
Longest winning streak: Five straight games from July 17-22. The streak included two wins at Colorado and a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins at PNC Park.
Longest losing streak: Seven straight games from Sept. 7-14. The Pirates were swept in three-game series at home by the Chicago Cubs, and at Cincinnati, before losing the first game of a series with the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
How sweep it is: The Pirates swept a four-game series from the Houston Astros (July 2-5), and three-game series from the Chicago Cubs (May 25-27), Kansas City Royals (June 8-10), and Miami Marlins (July 20-22) - all at PNC Park.
Most success against: Houston (12-5), Miami (4-1)
Least success against: Los Angeles Dodgers (1-6), San Diego (1-5), Milwaukee (4-11)
Best home record: Houston (8-2)
Worst home record: Milwaukee (1-5)
Best road record(s): St. Louis (5-4), Chicago Cubs (4-3)
Worst road record(s): Milwaukee (3-6), Cincinnati (3-6)
Best homestand: The Pirates went 6-1 on a seven-game homestand with Houston and San Francisco July 2-8, sweeping a four-game series with the Astros and winning two of three from the Giants.
Worst homestand(s): The Bucs went 2-4 on a critical six-game early September homestand against the worst two teams in the major leagues, the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs. A 4-7, 11-game August stand with Arizona, San Diego, and the Los Angeles Dodgers started the Pirates' downward spiral.
Best road trip(s): The Pirates went 6-3 on a three-city road trip to Houston (3-1), the Chicago Cubs (2-1), and Cincinnati (1-2) July 26-Aug. 5. Losing two of three games to the Reds, however, pushed the Pirates backward in what was then a tight pennant race. In June, the Pirates went 4-2 on a two-city trip to Milwaukee and Cincinnati, taking two of three games in both cities.
Worst road trip: The Bucs got two wins in Arizona at the end of a nine-game, three-city trip to salvage a 3-6 record in their first trip of the season, April 10-18. They were swept in three games by the Los Angeles Dodgers and won just one of three games in San Francisco before winning two of three games in Arizona.
Best month(s): The Bucs went 17-10 in June, and 17-9 in July, when they took over first place in their division.
Worst month(s): The roof caved in on the Pirates in September, when they won just seven of 28 games. But things began to unravel during an 11-17 August.
Most games over .500: Sixteen games over .500 on three different occasions in late July and early August, the last being 63-47 on Aug. 8.
Most games under .500: Five games under .500 twice - at 76-81 on Sept. 28 and 77-82 on Sept. 30.
Highest spot in standings: After sweeping a four-game series with the Houston Astros at PNC Park, the Pirates were in first place in the National League Central Division, two games ahead of then second-place Cincinnati, entering play on July 6.
Lowest spot in standings: Fourth place, 19 games behind Cincinnati, on Sept. 27 and 30.
Most valuable position player: Even though his batting average and overall offensive production dropped off a cliff in August and September, McCutchen finished with excellent overall season numbers. His .327 batting average placed him second in the National League behind the San Francisco Giants' Buster Posey's .336. McCutchen led the National League in hits (194), and was tied for second in the league in runs scored (107). McCutchen led the Pirates in home runs (31) and RBIs (96). He hit .446 in July and .370 in June, with seven homers each month, and was named the National League's Player of the Month in both months.
Most consistent position player: First baseman-outfielder Garrett Jones enjoyed a career year at the plate, working his way from a platoon situation into an everyday spot in the lineup. Jones finished with a career-high 27 home runs and tied his career high in RBIs (86). Jones was arguably the Pirates' only real productive hitter in the month of August, collecting 31 hits in 96 at-bats (a .323 batting average), and hitting six homers, while driving in 23 runs during the month.
Most valuable starting pitcher: Burnett
Most valuable relief pitcher: Hanrahan, who converted 36 of 40 save opportunities.
Comeback player of the year: After languishing through his second major league season last year, third baseman Pedro Alvarez bounced back with the type of power production that the Pirates envisioned when they made him Major League Baseball's second overall draft pick in 2008. Though his .244 batting average left something to be desired, the streaky Alvarez crushed 30 homers and knocked in 85 runs.
Biggest disappointments (position players): Outfielder Nate McLouth's Pittsburgh homecoming was a sour one. McLouth, who was an All-Star with the Pirates in 2008, was acquired as a free agent last offseason and drew a standing ovation from the fans at PNC Park on Opening Day. The Pirates were looking at McLouth as a fourth outfielder in his second tenure with the club, but he could never regain his former touch with the Bucs, and was released after just 34 games while batting only .140 (8-for-57) with 18 strikeouts and two RBIs. He was picked up by the Baltimore Orioles in the second half of the season, and helped the Orioles during their playoff drive. Both outfielders Alex Presley and Jose Tabata were sent to the Pirates' Class AAA Indianapolis club for extended periods of time this season after struggling at the big-league level.
Biggest disappointments (pitcher): After a spring training injury forced Burnett to miss the first three weeks of the season, Bedard was named the Pirates' Opening Day pitcher. He pitched reasonably well in the early part of the season, but wound up being granted his unconditional release by the Pirates Aug. 27 after posting a 7-14 record and 5.01 earned run average in 24 starts.
Best streak (batting): Second baseman Neil Walker put together a torrid 17-game streak from June 27-July 18. He hit safely in 32 of 66 official plate appearances - a .485 average - while belting three homers, six doubles, and driving in a total of 15 runs.
Best streak (pitching): Burnett won eight consecutive starts from May 19 through June 28.
Worst streak (team): The Pirates had lost 11 straight games to the San Diego Padres at PNC Park over four seasons before the Bucs finally beat San Diego at PNC, 11-5 on Aug. 12.
Best inning: The Pirates sent 14 men to the plate during a nine-run fourth-inning explosion in the Aug. 12 win over San Diego.
Worst inning: The "Friendly Confines" of Chicago's Wrigley Field were anything but for the Pirates July 30, when the Cubs scored nine runs in the fifth inning en route to a 14-4 rout of the Bucs.
Flirting with destiny: Burnett had a no-hitter going for 7 2/3 innings against the Chicago Cubs on July 31 at Wrigley Field before Adrian Cardenas pinch-hit a sharp single to right field. Burnett settled for a one-hit shutout and 5-0 complete-game victory in what was one of the most masterful outings by a Pirates pitcher in recent memory.
Witnessing destiny: The Pirates were no-hit for the first time since 1971 when Cincinnati right-hander Homer Bailey achieved the feat in a 1-0 masterpiece Sept. 29 at PNC Park.
Sharing history: Walker had two five-hit games with a home run this season, joining Hall-of-Famers Willie Stargell and Arky Vaughn as the only Pirates in team history to accomplish that feat.
Deuces wild for Alvarez: Alvarez homered twice in two consecutive games at Cleveland's Progressive Field as the Pirates defeated the Indians, 9-2 on June 16 and 9-5 on June 17. Alvarez knocked in three runs in the first outing, and six the next day.
Two of a kind for Jones: Garrett Jones hit a pair of three-run homers to lead the Pirates to a 10-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers Aug. 16 at PNC Park.
Tigers by the tail: McCutchen single-handedly led the Pirates to a 4-3 win over the Tigers at Detroit's Comerica Park May 19, slugging a pair of two-run homers to account for all the Bucs' offense that day.
Tale of the tape: Alvarez hit the longest home run hit by a Pirate in the history of PNC Park - a 469-foot blast against the St. Louis Cardinals' reliever Brandon Dickson in the sixth inning of the Bucs' 9-0 win Aug. 28.
Power outings: A season-best 19-hit attack that featured four homers - a two-run shot by Jones and solo blasts by McCutchen, Presley and Clint Barmes - propelled the Pirates to a 14-5 rout of the St. Louis Cardinals in Busch Stadium June 29 ... McCutchen, Jones, Rod Barajas and Barmes all homered in a 6-5 Bucs' win in Milwaukee's Miller Park June 3, and Jones, Casey McGehee, Alvarez and Barajas each homered in a 9-6 win at Colorado's Coors Field July 18. ... Along with Alvarez's two homers, McGehee - who the Pirates traded to the New York Yankees prior to the July 31 trade deadline - and Presley also connected in another four-homer game in Cleveland June 16.
Power outages: The Bucs were shut out on one single twice, 5-0 by the Giants' Matt Cain in San Francisco April 13 and 6-0 by the Tigers' Justin Verlander in Detroit May 18.
Longest game: The Pirates' 6-3, 19-inning win in St. Louis Aug. 19 took six hours and seven minutes to complete. Alvarez broke a 3-3 tie with a solo homer in the 19th, and McCutchen added a two-run single, as Pirates' starter Rodriquez picked up the victory in relief.
Latest game: The Sept. 17 game with the Cubs at Wrigley Field didn't start until 11:40 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, after a three-hour, 37-minute rain delay. It was worth the wait for the Pirates, who won, 3-0.
Best wins/comebacks: None was quite as good as the marathon victory in St. Louis, but there were several others. The Pirates enjoyed two walk-off victories over the Philadelphia Phillies on consecutive days at PNC Park during the first homestand of the season April 7-8. Presley's infield single chased home Michael McKenry in the 10th inning for a 2-1 win April 7. The next day, McCutchen's two-out, ninth-inning single off the center field wall scored McGehee, who had doubled, as the Bucs won, 5-4 .... McCutchen's two-out RBI single in the ninth inning gave the Bucs a 5-4 win at Arizona April 17, and Barmes' solo homer and McGehee's RBI single in the eighth inning produced a 5-4 win over Colorado at PNC Park April 24 ... Barajas' two-run, ninth-inning homer gave the Pirates another 5-4 win over the Washington Nationals May 8 at PNC, and Josh Harrison's two-out RBI single in the 12th inning finished a 3-2 Mother's Day win over Houston May 13 at PNC ... The Bucs overcame an early 4-0 deficit to beat the New York Mets, 5-4 on May 21 at PNC, as Walker scored the winning run in the eighth inning after reaching third base when his routine fly ball was dropped ... McKenry's run-scoring double in the 10th inning off Reds' relief ace Aroldis Chapman led the Pirates to a 5-4 victory at Cincinnati's Great Amercian Ball Park June 7 ... Drew Sutton's walk-off solo homer in the bottom of the 10th inning produced an 8-7 win over Houston at PNC July 3 ... The Bucs rallied for two ninth-inning runs in a 6-5 victory at Houston's Minute Maid Park July 27 ... Barmes' grand slam keyed the nine-run fourth-inning rally that sparked the 11-5 win over San Diego Aug. 12 at PNC ... McCutchen's solo homer in the ninth inning helped the Pirates walk off the Reds, 2-1 at PNC Sept. 29.
Worst loss: None was worse than the 9-8 collapse against San Diego Aug. 10 at PNC. The Pirates squandered a 7-1 lead when San Diego scored five runs in the fifth inning and two more in the seventh.
Best debut (position player): Outfielder Starling Marte, who won an Eastern League batting championship as a member of the Altoona Curve in 2011, opened eyes by hitting the first major league pitch he saw, from Houston left-hander Dallas Keuchel, for a home run in Minute Maid Park July 26. Marte became the first Pirate since Walter Mueller in 1922 to hit the first major league pitch he saw for a homer. Prior to this season, the last Pirate to homer in his first major league at-bat was Don Leppert in 1961.
Best debut (pitcher): In his first appearance as a Pirate on April 21, Burnett pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits, as the Pirates blanked the St. Louis Cardinals, 2-0 at PNC. Burnett, who had suffered a fracture to the right orbital bone in his face during a bunting drill in spring training, was scheduled to make his final minor league rehab start April 21 with the Curve at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Instead, he was re-assigned to pitch in Pittsburgh that night when the Bucs' regularly-scheduled starter, Correia, was scratched because of an injury.
Best-pitched games: Burnett's one-hit, 5-0 shutout of the Cubs at Wrigley Field July 31 trumped them all. Burnett also teamed with three relievers for the 2-0, five-hit shutout of St. Louis April 21 at PNC. On May 25, Burnett and four relievers teamed to shut out the Cubs, 1-0 on seven hits at PNC. Five days later, on May 30 at PNC, Burnett and two relievers allowed the Cincinnati Reds only four hits in a 2-1 win. Burnett came within one out of another complete game on Aug. 5, allowing the Cincinnati Reds only three hits in 8 2/3 innings at Great American Ball Park. Hanrahan got the final out in the Pirates' 6-2 win that day. McDonald pitched a complete-game, six-hitter in the Pirates' 9-1 win over Minnesota June 21 at PNC. He also teamed with two relievers in a 3-1, five-hit win over San Francisco at PNC July 7. McDonald pitched two outstanding games against St. Louis in August, teaming with four relievers in a 2-1, four-hit win at Busch Stadium Aug. 17, and joining forces with two relievers in a five-hit, 9-0 shutout win at PNC Aug. 28. Karstens was the starter in three shutout performances at PNC - a 2-0 win over Houston July 5 in which he and Hanrahan allowed only four hits, a 3-0 win over Miami July 22 in which he and two relievers allowed just five hits, and a 4-0 win over Milwaukee Aug. 25 in which he and three relievers spaced nine hits. Rodriquez and three relievers shut out the Cardinals, 5-0 on five hits at PNC Aug. 29, and Bedard and two relievers blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks on just two hits, 4-0 on Aug. 6 at PNC. Correia teamed with two relievers for a 3-0 shutout of the Cubs at Wrigley Field Sept. 17, and Brad Lincoln, a versatile reliever-spot starter who was traded to Toronto in late July, pitched six innings and teamed with three relievers to limit Detroit to just four hits in a 4-1 Pirates win June 23 at PNC.
Worst performance: The Pirates made seven errors - the most the Bucs have made in a single game since 1985 - in a 12-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park Sept. 7.

Sony make good designs, but they are still lagging behind in terms of power and price.
HTC got the power and the price right, but they need to stop recycling old designs and create something entirely new!

I bought a Sony xperia active but it freezes, bad signal reception, battery too small.
So I use Samsung galaxy s2 and note
I dream Nokia firing his Microsoft boss so we could get back Betty good phones
26. Mozarrt (Posts: 301; Member since: 08 Oct 2011)
You are comparing a phone like that to the SGSII and the Note, you should be shot my dear friend.
27. ivanko34 (Posts: 617; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
Why pos ? Is it normal to pay a phone from Sony at 300 euros and it can't be used ? My dear ?
70. cyborg009 (Posts: 112; Member since: 17 Sep 2011)
u need to compare in the league.. u should have gotten xperia arc S or u can get xperia S now n then compare to gs2 n note !!
But again it comes down to personal choice, something no matter how good u won't like if u don't feel for it and vice versa :)

HTC is not the company that I would be complaining about not changing their designs. Have you seen the iPhone 3 compared to the iPhone 4 there isen't much difference and who would consider any of Samsung's designes to be progressive. The SGII looks more like an iPhone than anything other Android phone on the market. What phone have you seen that looks like a ONE X or EVO 4G LTE?
55. MeoCao (unregistered)
So true,
I think this site is biased against HTC. They even said One X was worse than Galaxy Nexus.

The problem with brand/design recognition with the Android phones is there are FAR too many of them. You have several manufacturers (Samsung, Moto, HTC, Pantech, LG, Casio, etc), and most manufacturers release several devices each year. With all of the Androids in circulation, the only thing you can [usually] confirm on sight is that it's an Android phone. Besides that, most people just can't tell unless they have memorized every single handset.
A handful of handsets are memorable and immediately [easily] recognizable.
With the level of saturation of Android handsets, it's difficult for manufacturers to produce truly iconic devices. Plus, as soon as they release their "iconic" device, it's bested few months later with a slightly better model.
71. FAW-Q (Posts: 63; Member since: 29 Jul 2011)
This is a reply to the article: "Nothing exceptionally bold or striking about an HTC phone" Are you kidding me?! HTC invented Bold and Striking with the HTC EVO 4G! If it hadn't been for the EVO, Androids would still be sporting 3.5 - 3.7" screens! All you Bloggers poked fun at HTC for making a phone with a 'huge' 4.3" screen and soon afterward, every Android phone were modeled after the EVO. Even Samsung knew about the potential of the EVO, that's why they pretended to have a shortage on their OLED screens to halt the production of the EVO all so that they could have a chance at selling their 4" iPhone wannabe Galaxy S. Samsung is just another Apple. It's a shame how people sporting Samsungs hate Apple so much, yet they carry in their pockets an iPhone wannabe.
72. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
The One X looks like nothing before it. The Evo 4G LTE has a distinctive design (half metal, half plastic, and a bright red kickstand down the middle), and the One S is definitely something based upon some previous designs, but yet completely different.
It's obvious they listened to people like you, because they went with a completely different design for their One series.
Show me a phone that looks anything like a One X. The distinctive camera hump, the speaker grilles, the dock pins, all of it.

If Nokia has chosen Android, it will be like epic because: Design+Android+Nokia+Processor+Battery life Nokia's known for= EPICNESS!
They could have beat Samsung because WP7 lacks apps unlike Android.
47. rudlie (Posts: 205; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
story still the same. why nokia was not choose android? because nokia see more worthed to apply windows mobile.

wtf iphonearena u ppl are sheep. u ppl put two pictures pic 1 vs pic 2 (for me they both look iphones but none is galaxy as its quite bigger than iphone and placement of sensors, front camera is on different place). what is the point behind this ? To prove that galaxy is copy of cr@pple iphone ? u ppl are the real sheep ( put i before sheep as that word, cr@pple and few more words related to cr@pple are not allowed on website of cr@pple's pet dogs)

20. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
The vs pic is the iPhone 3Gs and the iPhone 4 side by side with the home button removed. It's to prove my point that Apple hardware is relatively nondescript aside from a few branding points.
Then there's the other pictures to illustrate all the other points about HTC, Samsing (with Google) and Sony.
Thanks for playing!
29. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
lol that kind of proves a point about Samsung design. xD
57. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
Samsung has no Design their phone are more similar then anything HTC has and that what many people are say about HTC. Samsung need to grow a backbone and take risks for design.
39. gp284 (Posts: 120; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
I don't think you read the article.
8. facelessbelief (Posts: 13; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
I think Motorola with the Droid Series have something. I Motorola has something something going for them. Minus being slow on ICS Update.
10. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
what are you talking about? they're keeping up with everybody else just fine on the upgrade front. xD
12. facelessbelief (Posts: 13; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
Minus the Atrix Series being sometime in Q3. Lol. I'm not complaining, I love 2.3 over 2.2 (Old Phone). So many less bugs at this point.
9. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i do think that Apple makes better hardware decisions than Samsung but not by much and there is certain wisdom to each of their approaches. i'm still a big fan of Moto's industrial, heavy duty designs though. a Motorola is a MAN'S PHONE! >;]
13. facelessbelief (Posts: 13; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
You are right though, Motorolas new phones definitely feel more like a mans phone. I hold my Atrix 2, and it is solid and sturdy.
19. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
A real man's phone would be two cans with a string anything more than that is for pussies.
21. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard. real men are productive and efficient. you're not gonna be either of those with cans.

I really like Sony's designs.
14. vincentguariglia (Posts: 13; Member since: 28 Apr 2012)
I think the only competitor that really matters at the moment is Nokia when it comes to Apple and Samsung because they are the only one offering something different. Apple offers up a slightly different iPhone every so often and you have a ton of manufacturers pumping out different flavors of the same android phones. Great screens, fast processors, and design are all that matter currently. What can differentiate? The Windows Mobile platform can. This is truly the first time we are seeing Windows Mango phones that are actually appealing and being build with similar specs to Androids and iPhones. For the last 4 years all that has mattered is apps. Now that i'm over that I see how simple and comfortable using a Windows phone is. I could see one day the Windows mobile os definitely holding a larger market share thanks to Nokia. If you compare video game systems to phones and this is a great metaphor since both involve Microsoft. The original xbox came out and sold nothing compared to Ps2 but it got them in the game and now Microsoft is a giant in video games with it's Xbox 360. They are making smart moves . Next we wait for their tablets.
49. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
I agree. I'm looking forward to what Nokia and Windows can do together.

sony is gonna win this battle of top OEM's but it will be on top with Samsung........forget apple, its gonna lose its position in 3 yrs from now onwards bcoz the GREAT STEVE JOBS is no more with them.........

First of all, i really wanna see a Nexus by Sony phone. Second, i really wanna se Motorola phones with the original android UI, not the current UI. current UI sucks!
24. doubler86 (Posts: 320; Member since: 26 Jan 2011)
In the end of those 55% of all smartphones. Samsung makes money off of all of them. In the up coming years because Apple is so reliant on Samsung you'll see an even bigger shift. Everytime Apple has tried to get away from Samsung with makers like LG and Sharp they failed miserably and had to go right back to Samsung.
That's why the iPhone 5 won't come out till October because among other things Samsung won't be producing their chips till they get plenty made for their own Galaxy S III

By right it shoudl be HTC and Apple not samsung samsung hsa crap quality mobile phones
28. Roomaku (Posts: 278; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
Love HTC's designs, especially when they use metal housing soooo nice. Like iPhone too, if it weren't so fragile. Can't stand Samsung's super plasticity phones though....
53. MeoCao (unregistered)
SS has learned about that and uses new material for the S3. Interesting to see what it will be like.
30. magicon (Posts: 4; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
all i want is for nokia global phones to be cheaper high gpu,hd screens,big screen,high ram,high cpu than the rest bcos i love nokia phone no matter what os dey are using i we alway love them
31. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
"the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, which were simple clean slates when turned off, and the lack of distinctive features became a distinctive feature in itself." exactly why i love the Nexus's design.
32. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
tbh though, a phone's design makes up about 5% of my decision. give me a good experience and i will get over the design in no time.
54. MeoCao (unregistered)
but good design can inhance the experience greatly.
33. jimjam (Posts: 257; Member since: 28 Jun 2011)
Would be good if Asus could get back into the phone game. They are certainly a big player in the tablet sphere. Still they probably want to stick to the core strengths. Maybe the padfone will help break them back in.
34. jimjam (Posts: 257; Member since: 28 Jun 2011)
Wish sony would bring out a tmobile phone
35. JonBjSig (Posts: 176; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
I like the featureless look of the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, reminds me of the monoliths from 2001 A Space Odyssey, I like the simple and mysterious feel it gives.
36. ljruble (Posts: 16; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
Sony designs are amazing. If they can get a high quality phone out to compete, I may get that on next upgrade. I'm really interested in getting one in my hand. I know the photos look great.
37. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
I believe Sony could be the next big Android maker, especially if it can encorporate PS VITA with Android and keep the beautiful design - problem is they usually create high mid-level phones - but I see potential there.
HTC and MOTOROLA have grown stale and lazy with their designs....DROID RAZR was a good step in the right direction, though...
I took two family photos - one with the wife's 4S and one with my DROID RAZR ICS - wife liked mine better....lol
42. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
did you compare them on your phones? because you know the display will play a part if you do it like that. o:
44. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
sure display is big nowadays - Super AMOLED HD plus with no pentile....
46. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Sony's best hope is merging PlayStation with Android and ditching stand alone game players. they dont have access to ththe best displays or chips... which belong to LG and Samsung .. but they do have access to millions of gamers. they need to take a page from MS and merge the console and phone. not only will it help them out but it might stop potential wp7 buyers that are interested in how the games will soon be merged for mobile and console.. many people are like me and have both ththe 360 and ps3.
38. mobilefuture (Posts: 214; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
well i just hope that nokia can get back in the game by the end of this year cuz like magicon said i love nokia phones no matter what. But right now im reallly confused...by a budget android or wait for the ace 2. :/
45. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
good article but I think you missed a very valid point about how Samsung dominates android and keeps itself seperate from apple no matter how similar a person may think the design cues are... the screen. reviewers tend to get tired of Samsungs color saturation but the buying public doesn't. its a trick they learned from their TV business.. PEOPLE LIKE the high saturation and are drawn to it. go to a TV store and look at the expensive TV settings. color saturation is almost always turned high.. on purpose... ask the reps . its like a fly to a bug Zapper.
Samsung designs are always understated compared to others like HTC.. on purpose so u don't detract from that screen. pair it with smooth operations and its an instant sale. apple has iconic design.. Samsung has iconic displays.
50. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
The design is clearly copied from Apple.
52. MeoCao (unregistered)
I think what they copied from Apple is idea "keep it simple".
Do you think people buy a phone in millions because that phone looks like a 5 year old iPhone?
61. NaRFL (Posts: 25; Member since: 09 Apr 2012)
u no i dont hate Apple products but it's annoying me wen someone keep saying other companies stole from apple. Tis is just so sad!

Boeing South Carolina has announced it will add another 2,000 jobs to its North Charleston facility near the Charleston International Airport.
"We appreciate the strong support Boeing has received in South Carolina since we began expanding our presence and investments here just a few years ago," Boeing spokesperson Candy Eslinger said. "The South Carolina business environment is one of the things that attracted us here originally.
"We are proud of our partnership with the state and the mutual benefits we have achieved working together for the people of South Carolina, the customers who fly our airplanes, and for Boeing."
Boeing has invested more than $1 billion in land, facilities, infrastructure and tooling in South Carolina since 2009. Today the company has more than 6,000 employees working at the Boeing sites in the state.
Boeing S.C. met initial obligations under the economic incentive agreements made with the state in 2010 four years early, according to Eslinger.
With unprecedented demand for commercial airplanes – including a forecast of another 34,000 airplanes required over the next 20 years – Boeing is positioned for significant and sustained growth in the years ahead, and we have been investing in our people, products and facilities to deliver that growth and to better serve customers, according to Eslinger.
"To qualify for the economic development incentives being proposed this week, we are committing to create 2,000 new jobs and invest in excess of an additional $1 billion in South Carolina over the next eight years as part of our overall plan to capture market growth and deliver on our commitments to customers and other stakeholders," Eslinger said. "We are excited about our future and the investments we are making in South Carolina to ensure our operations here are successful for generations to come."

By Sat Purkh Kaur Khalsa, New Mexico
Here in Mexico City, where I've been visiting and teaching for the past few days, the joy of seva abounds. The students and teachers serve from a seemingly endless reserve of energy, enthusiasm, and love. One friend volunteers overnight at a local hospital to help women who would otherwise have no one with them during their labor and delivery. Several teachers work with homeless kids on the streets, teaching yoga and giving them a glimpse of a life and a consciousness beyond what they've known. Another friend labors tirelessly for the Teacher's Association, IKYTA México, which sometimes feels like herding cats (teachers are very independent!) but in the end, bears the fruit of a beautiful fellowship of teachers and practitioners. He lives a life of selfless service that I find extraordinary.
My first experience of the joy of seva was at Khalsa Women's Camp in Vancouver, BC. I was there on scholarship and I was assigned to kitchen seva. I was nervous; but once I walked in, I was welcomed by the fellowship of other sevadars (people doing seva) and the naad (sound current) of Sat Nam Wahe Guru. All day we chanted and chopped and cooked and cleaned; I still remember it as one of the best times I've ever had.
What is it about seva that brings us such pleasure? Studies have shown that philanthropy and service light up the brain's pleasure centers. Joy naturally arises—it's in our chemistry—when we reach out and help another person. As humans, we want to make a connection, and the simplest and most immediate way to make that connection is to serve. It's also fairly natural for us humans to be selfish; but self-centeredness is the fruit of ego, and in the end it's empty and lifeless. There's no joy—only control and expectation and striving. When we serve, the ego softens. Letting go of our own agenda for awhile, we work toward a common goal. We serve side by side with our fellows and we experience shuniya—a zeroing out of our self and our own ego-driven agendas. We live and we serve from a place of emptiness—and from that emptiness all things come: joy, compassion, love, and a sense of belonging.
Seva is the final step of spiritual maturity. To serve without ego—to work toward a common goal without expectation of return; to uplift others without thought of ourselves or our own needs—that is true seva and it is a gift. The joy of seva is a life which is lived selflessly; a life which finds its abundance in people, smiles, laughter, and fellowship; a life which measures its success in the number of people who were served, healed, touched, uplifted on any given day. There are examples all around you. Join them and inspire others to join you in a life of joy and service, the joy of seva.
The Joy of Seva: Compassion Kriya
Sat Purkh Kaur Khalsa has been singing for as long as she can remember. Her music focuses on using sound to move the body, the mind and the breath toward powerful transformative experiences that uplift the individual and serve the soul.

Just started a thread to ask a couple of questions.
Firstly, the LTV7 stream ended at 16:00 GMT sharp, so it cut off at the end of Javier's encore. So, what happened next? I am assuming Tatiana and Maxim had already gone back home straight after the FS for the funeral of Maxim's Dad.
Did the gala go straight into the finale after Javier?
For that matter, does anybody have any videos of the finale? The rest of the gala was that good, I would love to see the finale!
Also, at the start of the second half, there was a routine by a Croatian girl who was wearing what looked to me like Fred Flintstone's suit! Did anybody catch her name, as I was really impressed by her and would like to see more of her.
Can I also say, I love the way Brian and Florian always play to the crowd! That girl in the synchro team that Brian kissed is going to be telling that story for years! (And the auld doll that he also kissed will probably be doing the same!)
And as for Florian stripping after his gala routine, well, all the women in the audience were already going wild from the routine itself, but this just sent them through the roof!!!
Overall, probably the best gala I've seen this year.
