Complete your patternmaking foundation. Join Apparel Arts founder Suzy Furrer as she builds on her Patternmaking Basics and Patternmaking + Design: Creative Darts & Seam Lines classes to guide you through drafting, fitting, truing and marking neckline styles such as boat, Grecian, funnel, opera, V-neck, sweetheart, cornered and more! Then, hone your patternmaking prowess as you create custom patterns: a surplice dress with a V-neck, chevron stripes and a full skirt with a facing. Move on to a boat-neck dress with a tulip skirt, lining and underlining. Finally, draft a strapless dress with flounces, bodice boning and a waist stay. Learn the skills to draft designer neckline styles and striking dresses, blouses, T-shirts and tunics.
Meet your instructor, Suzy Furrer, and learn more about the necklines and techniques covered in your class.
Suzy discusses the fit and features of the boat neckline, then jumps right into drafting one, both front and back. She also explains the wide neckline rule, which you'll use again and again in your patternmaking.
Drafting a V neckline requires a little extra measuring and adjusting for a perfect fit and clean lines. Suzy shows you how to get even a chevron-striped V-neck just right.
Learn how to draft the flattering sweetheart and cornered necklines as well as facings. If your neckline gapes, Suzy shows how to tighten it up.
A strapless, one-shoulder or halter neckline might seem challenging, but Suzy walks you through drafting each style so you can design your own.
If a high neckline is the look you want, Suzy's got you covered, with drafting tips for front and back, including facings.
Are you ready to tackle more elaborate garments? Suzy walks you through the creation of a pattern for a wrapped dress with stripes. When you're finished, you'll see how a production pattern for such a pattern should look.
Continue to use your neckline knowledge as you design a delightful party dress from top to bottom.
A strapless top or dress benefits from some sturdy inner structure. As Suzy guides you through this design, she discusses the ways you can line, interline and add boning.
Many of the principles you've learned with woven fabrics apply to knits as well, with some differences. Suzy explains how to adapt your designs and patternmaking for use with knit fabric.
"My name is Cecile, I am French, living in Denmark. I have been sewing for a few years now and am amazed of what I was able to accomplish with these classes. I started with the bodice sloper class and bought all of the others right after. I now have a perfect moulage of myself (which I actually used to make a body form) and now I am starting designing and everything fits so perfectly!!! ... Suzy, you are a wonderful teacher!"

Revenue growth
year over year
Skullcandy, maker of audio headphones with attitude, is all about an extreme fusion of music, fashion and action sports lifestyles. The brand and its distinctive logo symbolize youth and rebellion, and embody the company's tagline: "Every revolution needs a soundtrack."
Park City, Utah, USA
US$232.5 million (2011)
Sales, Manufacturing
Consumer Products, High Tech
SAP Business ByDesign
Skullcandy started with an idea that was born on a chair lift. At that time, no one who walked into a ski or skate shop would ever find a pair of headphones there.
From lifestyle brand to headphones
Skullcandy's founder and employees come from skate parks, snowy slopes, and surfer lifestyles — and infuse that mindset into everything they do.
Loud. Colorful. Active. Skullcandy fuses bold color schemes and patterns, unique materials and creative packaging with the latest audio technologies and innovative functionality to create new and unique products.
"Think about a company that grows at 300, 400, 500% a year. It's important to develop an infrastructure that works tomorrow."
"How do we grow from 10,000 pieces to a million, and ship them around the world?"
With rapid growth came a need to move from manual processes to automation and improve on-time delivery, while gaining visibility into the business.
"What is the best technology to serve as our IT backbone as we scale up for the next 10 years and beyond?"
IT decisions, while transparent to customers, were mission-critical to the success of the business.
"You're looking at our IT Department. It's me."
"Our first thought was 'Wow, SAP is for big companies.'"
We partnered with SAP to transform our business. And we surprised both ourselves and SAP when we influenced the development of a new solution.
With the assurance of rapid implementation, small business scalability, and collaboration on the right solution, Skullcandy confidently teamed up with SAP.
"We can better manage our time, information, accounts, inventory, everything we have as we grow."
Running SAP Business ByDesign, Skullcandy finally has a system that both supports the daily business and minimizes IT time and effort.
In looking back on multiple years of rapid growth and change, being patient and thinking long term was the key to success.
"SAP is going to be a major part of our growth going forward."

Household Food Security in the United States, 2008
Stay Connected
Economic Research Report No. (ERR-83) 66 pp, November 2009
Eighty-five percent of American households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2008, meaning that they had access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households (14.6 percent) were food insecure at least some time during the year, including 5.7 percent with very low food security—meaning that the food intake of one or more household members was reduced and their eating patterns were disrupted at times during the year because the household lacked money and other resources for food. Prevalence rates of food insecurity and very low food security were up from 11.1 percent and 4.1 percent, respectively, in 2007, and were the highest recorded since 1995, when the first national food security survey was conducted. The typical food-secure household spent 31 percent more on food than the typical food-insecure household of the same size and household composition. Fifty-five percent of all food-insecure households participated in one or more of the three largest Federal food and nutrition assistance programs during the month prior to the 2008 survey.

VIENNA, 19 November 2012 - The fifth annual Global South-South Development Expo (GSSD Expo) opened today in Vienna, with more than 600 delegates from 150 countries convening to exchange and scale-up best practices and innovative solutions to cross-cutting energy insecurity and climate change challenges.
The conference is hosted by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and organized in conjunction with more than 20 UN agencies and partners.
The theme of the GSSD Expo 2012 is 'Investing in Energy and Climate Change: Inclusive Partnerships for Sustainable Development' and has been conceived as a concrete response to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Sustainable Energy for All Initiative.
"This Expo highlights successful development solutions, as well as the efforts of the UN system to generate momentum toward sustainable development," stressed the UN Secretary-General in his statement.
"The Global South is now poised to be a major force in global economic expansion," said John Ashe, Permanent Representative of Antigua and Barbuda to the UN and President of the UN General Assembly's High-level Committee on South-South Cooperation, in his opening statement. "By 2030, the global economy is projected to grow five-fold, with two-thirds of it expected to be in the South," he added.
Rebecca Grynspan, Associate Administrator of the UN Development Programme, said it is possible to have inclusive growth while caring for the environment. "Many solutions and strategies originate from countries of the South, which are using innovative approaches to tackling climate change, while at the same time expanding economic opportunity." Grynspan said a good example of this is the Yasuní-ITT initiative, in Ecuador, which fights climate change "while simultaneously protecting one of the world's richest areas of biodiversity, as well as the rights and livelihoods of the indigenous people who depend on it."
"We are here at this Expo to showcase solutions that already exist," said Kandeh K. Yumkella, UNIDO Director-General, adding that "transformational change is possible."
Looking ahead, Yiping Zhou, Director of the UN Office for South-South Cooperation, called for "smarter solutions, smarter partnerships and smarter investment."
Since its inception in 2008, the GSSD Expo has featured contributions from hundreds of partner countries, United Nations agencies, private sector enterprises and civil society organizations.

The Celtic Tenors have established themselves as the most successful classical crossover artists ever to emerge from Ireland. Their new release, Hard Times, continues to break down common perceptions of Irish tenors with a collection of roots-based harmony-driven songs by writers such as Stephen ... more
The Celtic Tenors have established themselves as the most successful classical crossover artists ever to emerge from Ireland. In 2000, following an impromptu audition at EMI in London, the Celtic Tenors were signed on the spot to an international record deal, a highly unusual event that was the talk of the music industry.
The Celtic Tenors continue to "re-invent the whole tenor idiom" (Phil Coulter - composer of "Remember Me"), by pioneering a new style of "cool" never before seen on the classical stage and by breaking the traditional stuffy tenor mould.
While each of The Celtic Tenors have been influenced by the musical traditions from their own individual parts of Ireland, Daryl, James and Matthew show great flexibility in melding their voices to suit the appropriate classical, folk, Irish and pop genres. The "Echo Award" in Germany for "Classical without Boundaries" was presented to The Celtic Tenors in recognition of this fact.
With a total album sales worldwide, including compilations, of over one million, and a full international touring schedule, the Celtic Tenors have topped the charts in the USA, Canada, Germany, the UK and Ireland.
The Celtic Tenors:
The Celtic Tenors' live show is an experience overflowing with vitality and variety from start to finish. The unique voices, charm and wit of Daryl, James and Matthew, along with talented young Musical Director Colm Henry, combine an emotive journey with a thoroughly uplifting experience. Equally at home performing to large festival crowds or intimate concert halls and theatres, and whether backed by a live band, symphony orchestra, solo piano, or even acapella, their voices and personalities always shine through alongside their undeniable celtic charm.
Catch the Celtic Tenors in concert, enjoy their eclectic mix of classical, folk, Irish and pop.

Matthew Gilsenan was born into a hard-working farming family in North Meath. Steeped in the local musical traditions and raised by parents who shared a great love for music, from the great composers to obscure Irish folk, Matthew (along with all his siblings) was born to sing.
His classical training started in the Sisters of Mercy convent in Kells, Co.Meath at age 10, and progressed to some of the great Irish and Scottish teachers. Although he ventured into opera and classical singing, Matthew never lost his love for the music of his youth, in particular the vibrant contemporary Irish music which is his great source of inspiration.
Matthew's busy singing life ran in parallel with his engineering career, but his desire to sing was too strong that ten years ago he turned to singing professionally.

Colm Henry, from Manor Kilbride in picturesque County Wicklow - the Garden of Ireland - was immersed in music from a young age, joining the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland as a trombonist at the age of 12.
Colm went on to graduate from University College Dublin with a First Class Honours Bachelor of Music Degree (B.Mus Hons) in 2005. An article by Colm entitled "Canonic Devices and Techniques in Bach's Orgelbuchlein" was published in "The Musicology Review".
Since then, Colm has been pursuing a busy performance and recording schedule with many of Ireland's foremost artists, including Clannad, Celtic Storm, Tommy Fleming, Westlife, Tony Kenny, and most recently as a member of the group Sephira. In 2006, Colm co-produced an album for "Sephira" and was part of their successful nationwide tour.
Colm is delighted to be touring as a vital part of the Celtic Tenor team.

In the ongoing quest for affordable, accessible, accountable healthcare, information technologies are taking center stage. Health IT, or HIT, is the critical connector for improving outcomes and constraining cost in the industry. But, companies are scrambling to fill an IT talent void that could impede progress toward meeting government and consumer expectations, delivering on strategic priorities, and capitalizing on new growth prospects. As a result, more than three-quarters of top healthcare executives anticipate changes in their talent strategies over the next year. (See figure).
Providers, health insurers, drug and device companies, and HIT companies have similar needs that could lead to intense competition for the same limited number of skilled workers. HIT workers that can work across the health sector will have a big advantage in the labor market. Companies that successfully build their IT identity and brand will likely be best positioned to acquire, manage, and retain critically important technology workers.
Key findings:
Case Studies:
After ten years of outsourcing its information technology department, leaders at Northern Arizona Healthcare decided to bring IT back in-house and expand the role of IT personnel in helping the hospital implement health reform. The IT department was given a full-time recruiter on loan and six months to do it. "The main reason we decided to in-source was because we believed our vendor was not as innovative as we needed it to be," said Marilynn Black, chief information officer. "We did not believe we had the right partner to implement healthcare reform." The technology wasn't a big factor but the people were. One big advantage was that the hospital hired 75 of the vendor's employees who were already familiar with the hospital. Anticipating their staffing needs in IT in the next several years and understanding the shortage of HIT skills in the market, they wanted to keep as many people as possible to help meet future business needs.
But the cultural change has been difficult since staff are held to a different level of accountability than they are used to. For example, IT leaders at Northern Arizona reward staff based more on how their customers think they are doing rather than on technical skill alone. Black and her team knew they needed a well orchestrated talent planning process to manage the transition for the staff. They assessed their current capabilities, crafted a vision for high performing teams, and devised a "cultural maturity grid" that illustrates what they look like today and where they need to be. The grid measures seven key areas (trust, integrity, honesty and openness, purpose, credibility, influence and accountability) and a performance scorecard allows them to track cultural maturity on a monthly basis. "We needed to do this to create a strong culture with positivity, better customer service, quality outcomes, and sound financial spending," said Black. "Now we know what it will take to get there."
Often healthcare business executives say they need IT partners that can marry technology with business strategies, anticipate their needs, and sell them on ideas. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska discovered it also needed to look through the lens of the IT executive.
Six years ago the health insurer launched Leading Blue, an initiative aimed at identifying and developing critical skills senior executives believed were necessary to expand the company over the next five to seven years. A glaring discovery early on was that business directors, vice presidents and top executives needed a better understanding of information technology. "We had very competent leadership in IT who had led the department to become a strategic business partner to the rest of the organization," said Tom Whalen, vice president of human resources and organizational development and the initiative's leader. "The issue was that sometimes the business did not always understand the complexity and strategic advantages of IT." Fortunately, the CEO was committed to bridging the knowledge gap. "A key ingredient was that our CEO is a bit of a techie himself," Whalen said. "He knew that the key to remaining competitive in this industry was data and technology since 'data analytics' will probably be more descriptive of our role than 'insurer' will be going forward." Soon the company was collaborating with the University of Nebraska to design custom IT courses for business leaders.
The courses, taught by university professors and some of the insurer's senior leaders, focused on explaining how designing the IT framework to support the entire company is similar to how one would go about building a city. Twenty-five executives were trained over 18 months. Today familiarity with IT is considered a core criterion for future leaders. "I now have other executives asking me, 'How do you think that will affect our technology architecture?' and that's certainly not something I ever heard before," said Susan Courtney, vice president and chief information officer. "They understand there are no islands and that everything we do has an impact on IT. My relationship with peers has gotten significantly better."

Samsung Galaxy Note II ReviewSamsung GALAXY Note II 9
We've got an 8MP shooter on the back of the Note II, and the camera interface is the Nature UX one. Things like zero shutter lag, and burst shot when you keep the on-screen button pressed come standard, plus this thing is almost instantaneous when it comes to focusing and taking a shot. We also have 12 effects to choose from and a variety of scene and shooting modes like HDR, Best Shot, which takes eight shots is rapid succession and suggests the best one, Best Face, Panorama and smile recognition - the works.
The pictures turned out very good - sharp, with plenty of detail and decent dynamic range. The colors are a bit oversaturated, which makes them more appealing at first brush. Moreover, noise is kept in check very well, without resorting to aggressive suppression algorithms to smear the detail.
Video capture on the Note II is done with very fluid 30fps inside and out, and it features slightly boosted color saturation, plus plenty of detail to go around. You can digitally zoom in while shooting with a pinch, which we don't recommend, since it degrades the quality significantly the more you zoom, and there is continuous autofocus and touch to focus. The captured audio, however, is strong, but pretty coarse and flat, and voices drown in the ambient sounds, despite the two mics for noise-cancellation.

The Nature UX music player supports categorization by artists, albums and playlists, and has easy access to a plethora of sound modes like faux 7.1 channel surround sound and Concert Hall, as well as equalizer presets. You can share the tunes you are currently playing to your buddies with the AllShare Play app on the other Samsung phones around, and the Music Square tab places your discography in a mood matrix to choose from.
The loudspeaker here deserves special attention - it is very strong, stronger than on the original Note, and much stronger than on the Galaxy S III - but what is more, it sounds much fuller and with deeper bass than what we are accustomed to on smartphones.
The gallery takes a good advantage of the large screen real estate, splitting the screen in two while in folder view, offering easy access to all folders on the left, and swift scroll through the pictures they contain on the right. You can also preview the folder content with the S Pen stylus Air View functionality.
There is a choice of 3D views in the Gallery app - Timeline makes the pictures march towards you in an increasing order chronologically, and the Spiral View is suspiciously like the spiraling Gallery we saw prepped for Samsung's Tizen OS. Individual photos can be edited with a pretty rich number of functions besides the usual crop, rotate, and annotate scenarios.

119. mills0806 (Posts: 37; Member since: 13 Nov 2011)
Lets also hope it is not going to be $300 on a 2 year contract in the U.S.
120. someones4 (Posts: 625; Member since: 16 Sep 2012)
5-5.1 inches is the limit for me. i wish they would have the stylus as a bonus too.. but it would look like a mini galaxy note if that's the case

41. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I tested the function just now on your post - it works! I gave you a thumb up for mentioning the feature.
49. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
thanks bro. one more good thing about SAMMY i would like to mention that here in india their phone are priced almost equal to the States however on the other hand apple and htc always price their phones way higher than the international prices. no wonder they are undisputed market leader in India as well which is very crucial for their future success.
57. 23nikki1 (Posts: 46; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
I agree...iphone 4s was about 54k (~$1000) when it was released...even now, it is piced around $800 ...I guess iphone 5 would be $1200 or atleast $1000...
58. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
exactly. thats the reason apple has not seen much success. while S2, note2 and s3 are selling like hell.
87. SmartGadgetS (Posts: 20; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
LOL.... 5 Million iPhone 5's in 3 days. But Samsung is selling like hell as well :)
106. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
i was talking about india bro. yeah apple sells real well.
70. AppleHateBoy (unregistered)
Really? The SGS3 costs more than 40k in India. and it's worth only about 30-35k.
BTW i hope they improve the performance of the storage subsystem. Because that is the one and only bottleneck of today's superphones.
P.S.: I live in Rajasthan, India.
72. AppleHateBoy (unregistered)
But I agree that they have became a top contender in India. Thanks in no small parts to their good value for money Android Phones.
Btw I am only 14 years old and I own the Galaxy Pop.
107. 23nikki1 (Posts: 46; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
SGS3 costs 36k in INDIA... I'm from Hyderabad
128. GalaxyNote2User (Posts: 2; Member since: 18 Oct 2012)
Super Thumbs Up!!! I totally agree
48. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
no offenses to Ray but this phone really deserves a rating of 9.7 and is clearly a much better phone than anything currently available in the market.
80. Martine (Posts: 102; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
I totally agree with you. This device has only one con and yet it was scored 9!
9.5-9.8 would have been a fairer score for this monster.
Surely, my next phone
60. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3749; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Now, i want to see iP5 heads on with this monster!!
Both have the same rating... But we all know who's gonna win!
38. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
VZW, WHEN are you going to be offering the Note II?
96. Blubberkinesis (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Jun 2009)
And they better keep the same specs.
55. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Same here!
GNOTE II, here I come!
59. mandkeee (Posts: 82; Member since: 27 Feb 2009)
i cant believe that this phone has 9/10
using cheap plastic phone....
102. Jericho (unregistered)
Hey mate dont worry, Phonearena Give it 9 because it didn't wanted to angry the s-Sheeps cause the iphone 5 got 9. Phonearena rates its reviews on the basis of the phones Popularity. Its a popularity Contest. The First note didn't get a good score cause phonearena thaught it wont sell that much but it did and So now Phonearena knows That Note II will sell well so their giving it 9.
Its about The sales and Popularity More Than it is about the Performance of the device.
103. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Sounds just like something Y2J would say.
116. m_hemanth7 (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
Wake up Jericho! Almost every person who has ever owned or wanted an iphone could never really have a sound reason or justify as to why they'd prefer/want one! A majority of the Apple aficianados and patrons could only come up with just one cliched response - "BECAUSE IT IS AN I-PHONE". I am not an anti iPhone/apple guy. Given its reputation for standards, I'd love to work for that company as a design engineer. I really do. But let's face the fact - It's darn too pricey and somewhat overhyped for what it brings to the table. I've been following apple events for few years now and one thing that explains its popularity has to do with the way apple products get advertised. They're very catchy and enamouring! Believe me and that's the reason why you can't have more to say than what's been aesthetically presented by the Apple's big guys! I like one in particular who really steals the show - Jonathan Ive, The vice president of Design.

It should have got 10/10 :(
Can't wait for ma beast now :(

I am still waiting for PHOLED to be used in Sammy's OLED displays.
P.S.: PHOLEDs will initially be 2 times more efficient than current OLEDs. But they will become 4 times more efficient after the technology matures.

I'm so excited to own one too. Getting it the day of. Currently have an iPhone 4S. I needed a break from android and am excited to dive back into it with such an amazing device. So I'm currently sitting on an upgrade, hopefully it'll come in late October.

10. eisenbricher (Posts: 973; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
Xperia T is a good product but doesn't have much 'personality' if you ask me.. Sony seems to be lost in alphabet jungle!! They need to innovate their product naming.
15. ajac09 (Posts: 1481; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
sonys still a year behind
56. mukrenol (Posts: 90; Member since: 03 Sep 2011)
i own a sony... but unfortunately... i do agree with you there = =
90. tmcr7 (Posts: 180; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
But Xperia T is James Bond's phone. It should get a 10 solely for that.

Ive really never liked Jame bond.. lol

Make the battery bigger and it will destroy an Ultrabook.
6. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
At least it is much better than some rotten fruit.
7. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Look at the cons & it STILL only got a 9 out of 10. The Apple iPhone 5 had more cons & can expand its memory, has more RAM, has a more powerful processor, & not to mention the innovation that is the S Pen. I am sorry but PhoneArena.com's reviews are very suspect!
If the Apple iPhone 5 is a 9 out of 10 then the Galaxy Note II is a 11 out of 10. Get my drift PhoneArena.com?

The iPhone 5 had more cons & the Galaxy Note II.... Yeah I am having a bad day today. I can't type for the life of me. & I hate I can't edit because some posted right after I did.
PhopneArena.com PLEASE CHANGE OR FIX THIS!!!!!! I want to EDIT at anytime or at least for 5 to 10 min after even if someone posts right after me! lol

9.4 for me. Better than s3. But needs more improvement. :)
19. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Thank you. lol I really was exaggerating just to make my point. To me it's a 9.75 because the loud speaker actually has some bass with it. To me that is VERY sweet. I can't remember the last phone that can make that claim.
Also the battery life is phenomenal EVEN with a 5.5" screen. Also the VERY excellent photo & video quality is awesome feature. We all know that the poor sounding recording can be fixed in a future update so that should be squashed fairly quickly.
Also the innovation that is the S Pen can be made even better once 3rd party apps take advantage of its tech. I can keep going but to me the Samsung Galaxy Note II legitimizes that "phablet" category & it will now get more & more mainstream.
Basically another thing Apple will copy from Android & Samsung. lol
28. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
9.75 for me is too much given the fact that there's more room for other technology to fit on this device such as S pen as a mic and earpiece for calling, wireless charging and many more.
But I'm so excited to have this one. :D

I agree. How about putting Quad Core S4 Pro? Or maybe a SGX 543MP2 instead of Mali-400MP? Or how about a Mali-T604?
A15s are basically useless for mobiles according to me. Go either Quad A9 or Custom design.
50. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
exactly. this phone clearly deserves 9.7
53. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Agree. I'd go with a 9.25-9.5... taking off for its sound issue while recording. If it has great call sound quality for the user and the person on the other end, then its obviously a sound glitch while recording video which can be patched, I agree.
If we start getting apps/games that use S-Pen in an intuitive way, that would make this device even more sweet. Prepare for the return of the stylus lol.
67. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
lol YES Samsung is bringing sexy back with the S-Pen. The return of the stylus IS in full effect!
+1 :-)

I also think this phone deserves a higher rating than the S3, but whatever, we're all entitled to our opinions.

s**t! Only if I had money Q__Q
Well I have it reserved for Lumia 920 :)
But clearly, this is an awesome product. I love the way how android is customizable..
25. JKING_25 (Posts: 53; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
Same here. I am loving the Galaxy Note II, but the Lumia 920 seems to have stolen my heart. This phone sure is a beast though.
9. Mozarrt (Posts: 301; Member since: 08 Oct 2011)
Now I bet nobody is going to criticize the mark it got. (I really love PhoneArena for this reason)
Nice phone in my opinion, but I always get the feeling most users are actually compensating for something having one ;)

Finally! a full review, gotta read this later. This will decide whether I'll have this or other phone.
12. nofear (Posts: 151; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
iPhone 5 has nothing to compare with this lovely beast.
14. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
9/10? As if I wasn't already sold on the fact that this is the phone for me. Can't wait.
20. henrickrw (Posts: 408; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Well, the Iphone 5 score the same rating & it's light years behind the S3 & the Note2
Well, I would have given a 9.5 to the Note2.
21. Mozarrt (Posts: 301; Member since: 08 Oct 2011)
The iPhone has more premium materials, it's got a blazing fast processor, a very nice screen with high PPI and an optimized OS. How is it lightyears behind?

Product Details
The ADIS16375 iSensor® is a complete inertial system that includes a tri-axis gyroscope and tri-axis accelerometer. Each sensor in the ADIS16375 combines industry-leading iMEMS® technology with signal conditioning that optimizes dynamic performance. The factory calibration characterizes each sensor for sensitivity, bias, alignment, and linear acceleration (gyro bias). As a result, each sensor has its own dynamic compensation formulas that provide accurate sensor measurements over a temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
The ADIS16375 provides a simple, cost-effective method for integrating accurate, multi-axis, inertial sensing into industrial systems, especially when compared with the complexity and investment associated with discrete designs. All necessary motion testing and calibration are part of the production process at the factory, greatly reducing system integration time. Tight orthogonal alignment simplifies inertial frame alignment in navigation systems. An improved SPI interface and register structure provide faster data collection and configuration control.
This compact module is approximately 44 mm × 47 mm × 14 mm and provides a flexible connector interface that enables multiple mounting orientation options.

Boo Starbucks, good thing we don't have one up here. But we all end up in the city once in a while and this you should know. This was e-mailed to me from a friend in Colorado.
I have indeed confirmed the fact that Starbucks charged rescue workers $130.00 for 3 cases of bottled water on September 11, 2001, so the following info that was passed on to me would not be surprising to me at all!!
Dear everyone: Please pass this along to anyone you know, this needs to get out in the open. Recently Marines over in Iraq supporting this country in OIF wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffee and try to score some free coffee grounds. Starbucks wrote back telling the Marines thanks for their support in their business, but that they don't support the War and anyone in it and that they won't send them the Coffee. So as not to offend them we should not support in buying any Starbucks products. As a War vet and writing to you patriots I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this War might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street to street and house to house for what they and I believe is right. If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and I'll never know. Thanks very much for your support to me, and I know you'll all be there again here soon when I deploy once more.
Semper Fidelis,

After giving birth to her third child in September – son Tennessee James – Reese Witherspoon says she isn't exactly bouncing back into shape.
"I don't know if I'm bouncing back. I'm slowly crawling back," she joked to Extra at the March of Dimes Celebrates Babies event in Beverly Hills on Friday.
She's also still fighting a case of "baby brain."
"I couldn't remember, the other day, what you call that thing that keeps the food cold. It was the refrigerator," said Witherspoon, 36, who's also mom to Ava, 13, and Deacon, 9. "I couldn't remember the name of it!"
But the Oscar winning actress is not worrying too much about any of it.
"You just have to be gentle and patient with yourself," she adds, "and slowly get back to your health."
As for the reason behind all of this, Witherspoon says her newborn son is "great. He's wonderful, healthy, happy."

Manufacturing & Construction Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
The Construction sector primarily covers work performed in the construction of buildings or engineering projects (e.g., highways and utility systems). Companies that perform work in the preparation of sites for new construction and those involved subdividing land for sale as building sites also are included in Construction.
Manufacturing uses raw materials that are products of agriculture, fishing, forestry, mining, or quarrying, as well as products of other manufacturing operations. Plants, factories, or mills that characteristically use power-driven machines and materials-handling equipment, transform the raw materials into new finished products or components of products that require further manufacturing.
Construction markets include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs. Activities of these enterprises generally are managed at a fixed place of business, but they usually perform construction activities at multiple project sites. Production responsibilities are specified contractually with construction project owners (prime contractors) or contracts with other construction companies (subcontractors).
Construction companies that contract responsibility for all aspects of individual construction projects are commonly known as general contractors, but are also markets known as design-build, construction management, turnkey contracting, or (in cases where two or more establishments jointly secure a general contract) joint-venture contracting. Construction managers that provide oversight and scheduling only (i.e., agency) as well as construction managers that are responsible for the entire project (i.e., at risk) are included as general contractor type establishments. General contractor types frequently arrange construction of separate project parts through subcontracts with other construction companies, such as masonry, painting, and electrical work). These are commonly known as specialty trade markets. In remodeling and repair construction, work may also be done directly for the owner of the property.

This album was greeted with critical acclaim when released in Ireland and Europe. Andy Irvine and Paul Brady are both masters of guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, harmonica, and hurdy-gurdy, and their vocals and arrangements of mainly Northern songs are outstanding. Jo... more
Folk singer/songwriter Andy Irvine found his true voice in traditional music when the 1960s folk revolution exploded in Western Europe.
After recording several singles and an album with Irish folk band Sweeney's Men, Irvine left Dublin for a journey through Eastern Europe. Upon his return to Dublin, Irvine met and played with Donal Lunny for a while, but his world changed when established Christy Moore asked Irvine, Lunny, and uilleann piper Liam O'Flynn to play on the album, and afterward, the four musicians formed the band Planxty.
Planxty quickly became the premier Irish folk band of the early '70's after signing a six-record contract and touring extensively throughout Europe. After their third album, Moore left and was briefly replaced by Paul Brady before disbanding.
Brady, a self-taught pianist and guitarist joined Planxty in 1974. Between 1976 and 1978, he and Irvine played as a duo, a musical affiliation that produced the album Andy Irvine and Paul Brady, which even today is considered "one of the greatest albums ever of traditional Irish songs," (All Music Guide)
The duo performed a reunion concert at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow in February 2008.

From Staff Reports
Elkins ON TRAC invites families to enjoy fun and games in downtown Elkins May 18 during the third annual Mountains Beckon Bicycle Parade & Street Fair.
The event will begin at 10 a.m. with a traditional, small-town bicycle parade. The parade will follow Davis Avenue from Fifth Street to Third Street, which will be closed to traffic from Davis Avenue to Mary's Lane for the street fair.

Participants are invited to dress up and decorate bikes for the Mountains Beckon Bicycle Parade, set for 10 a.m. May 18.
The parade is open to participants of all ages, according to Mike Ellis, chair of the ON TRAC Promotion Committee.
"Whether you are young or young at heart, everyone is invited to participate," Ellis said.
A free bicycle safety inspection will be provided by Joey's Bike Shop on Third Street immediately following the parade. Games and activities will continue until 2 p.m.
Participants are invited to dress up and decorate bikes for the parade. Sponsored by The Inter-Mountain, awards will be presented by judges from the newspaper in six categories, including "Creative Use of Newspaper."
"The Inter-Mountain is excited about taking part in this growing, family oriented event," said Matthew Burdette, the newspaper's executive editor. "Events like these are not only helping to spur the revival of downtown Elkins, but they truly bring the community closer together. We are thrilled to be able to team up with the hardworking folks at Elkin ON TRAC to make our community better and brighter."
Other categories are "School Spirit," "Color Crazy," "Sparkle & Shine," "Mountaineer Proud" and "Mayor's Choice," which will be presented by Mayor Van Broughton.
The Mountaineer Proud award recognizes the state's 150th birthday.
Special prizes will also be awarded by Joey's Bike Shop.
All parade participants must wear helmets and closed shoes. A parent or guardian must sign for all children under age 18, and small children must be accompanied by an adult on foot.
The Elkins Police Department will provide a cruiser to lead the way down Davis Avenue, and a fire engine, courtesy of the Elkins Fire Department, will follow the route to Third Street.
Registration for the parade will take place in the parking lot behind City Hall beginning at 9 a.m. The first 25 registrants age 12 or younger will receive free event T-shirts, sponsored by Pioneer Insurance Agency and TD's Classic Tees. Other event sponsors include Henry G's, Joey's Bike Shop, Papa John's, The Inter-Mountain and WDNE 98.9 FM.
The street fair also will feature games and activities presented in partnership with the Family Resource Network. FRN will provide a duck pond, corn hole, ball and ring toss games and other activities.
Limbo and hula hoop competitions also will take place. Bubbles, balloons and other surprises also might be in store for participants during the event.
The Promotion Committee created street fair events in 2011 to help increase activity in the downtown area. Fairs were named to correspond with the Elkins ON TRAC slogan, "Mountains Beckon, Artists Gather, History Lives."
The third annual Artists Gather event will take place Aug. 2 in conjunction with First Friday.
A History Lives event also is planned to showcase a historic property in the downtown area.
For more information on Elkins ON TRAC events and activities, anyone interested can email email@example.com or find Elkins ON TRAC on Facebook.

"I'm very happy romantically," she tells PEOPLE. "It couldn't be better!"
The Modern Family actress has been dating former True Blood hunk Joe Manganiello since early July, and the sizzling stars have taken their PDA from Malibu to Miami all summer.
Though Vergara, 42, has yet to comment publicly on her relationship with PEOPLE's Hottest Bachelor, she says she "couldn't be happier" with her career and personal life.
"I have a television show that has been successful for the past five years. And it's allowed me to do all the things I've wanted to do with my career," says Vergara, whose other main man, her son Manolo, graduates from film school next year. "It's been a lot of fun these past five years."
Manganiello, 37, has also earned the approval of her costars Julie Bowen and Sarah Hyland.
"I think they're super hot together," Hyland told PEOPLE last month, adding "They'll have really hot babies."

Lynx buses were back in the spotlight Saturday after a major internal administrative shake-up.
WESH 2 News has confirmed that the agency's longtime Chief Operating Office Lisa Darnall, Chief of Maintenance Joe Cheney and Facilities and Maintenance Chief Bill Zielonka turned in their resignations.
The resignations came after a week when three Lynx buses were involved in crashes, but the drivers were not at fault.
However, officials said from March 2012 until now, 13 Lynx bus drivers made headlines for running red lights and all were suspended without pay.
The president of the drivers' union, Norm Audet, said he does not believe those cases have anything to do with the resignations. He said the timing of it may be a coincidence of recent public issues.
However, Audet said the internal issues are deep-rooted.
"It's a shock and a concern. I am very concerned with the direction of the company since the new (chief executive officer) has come on board," Audet said.

- Boots (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boots/)
- - Getting the right boot size (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boots/51060-getting-right-boot-size.html)
Getting the right boot size / Choosing boots
for sure there is someone who cant always try boots before you order them, because of lack of stores near your hometown, or lack of size you need
thats exactly my problem, i made one thread before about buying few things, and i mentioned that problem there, but all the answers was same - must try them before buying, but well.. cant
so if you buy a boots, how you try to get the perfect fit? you measure your foot and then add like 0.5/1 cm and it makes size you need? or you get bit smaller or same as normal shoes you wear?
i know thats never sure thing, cause every boots are different, like i have 2 pairs of same size shoes, but one of them are just to small, but maybe you got some tips that could be usefull
i need like 13/14 size, store that i have in my city offers maximum 12 so i will go there tomorrow and check how much bigger than 12 i need
any tips? experience with ordering boots?
I hear you, I have the same issue.
The problem is, that even if you could go into a shop, it's still not always possible to get the fit right until you really know what you're looking for.
My advice would be to order the two nearest sizes to your guess from a retailer with a good return policy and try both.
The ones that feel perfect.. are probably the wrong size and will be too sloppy one you wear them a few days. You probably want half a size smaller than that.
People will tell you that getting them heat moulded is bad because they pack out too much. But really they shouldn't fit until they've been heat moulded. In many cases they just bought the wrong size.
Your toe should be touching the end of the liner until you stand up in the boot in a snowboard stance, then it should retract slightly.
The liner might feel very snug at this fit but will pack out and form to your foot so this will be temporary.
Also, take the liner completely out and put your bare food in the shell and push it all the way to the front so your toes touch, you want to make sure you have a gap or around 5-10mm between your heel and the boot.
And after all that, some boots just fit some feet better, depending on with of foot and hight of arch and you won't know until you've ridden it.
I've learned this by being on my 3rd pair of boots in 12 months.
Hey Buddy,
I have Burton Imperials and they fit true to size. I wear an 11.5 for normal shoes and I wear those for boots as well. When you order them, they may feel tight at first. They SHOULD feel tight when you are first standing up in new boots. If you kneel down into a riding stance, then you will feel your feet slide back a little bit.
After you wear your new boots for a while they will break in, which makes them even more comfy. When I first buy a new pair of boots, I try to wear them at home at night for a little bit to break them in before I go up and use them.
So, if you are buying online, read the reviews to see if people are saying they fit true to size or not. For me, with that pair of boots, it was the same as my regular shoe size, so you should be fine.
Zappos. Com BEST return policy/ thread
I just ordered 10 pairs of boots. Going to try them all on, keep the one that fits the best and return the rest.
No hassle and free shipping back to them return policy. Best online retailer, hands down... And no, I don't work for them..
FWIW, when it come to 'your normal size', I found burton (moto) to be the same but nike (kaiju) I needed to go a half size smaller.
The issue is, people often wear ordinary shoes/boots a bit looser than you want in a snowboard boor fit so be careful when following that advice. I guess if you are going to compare it, if possible do so to what size you would take in a properly fitting dress shoe, rather than hiking boots of sneakers as thats probably more accurate.
In fact the fit and shape of the kaiju is pretty close to the same size nike pegasus trainer. But the fit thats spot in in the trainer ends up too loose in the boot (cue my 3rd pair of boots!)
But there really isn't any substitute for placing your foot in the thing and even better riding it for a while.
well thats some nice tips there, thanks
im glad to hear that imperials fit to true size cause those are boots im looking for, they have only nr 13 in shop but they might fit perfect cause sometimes nr 13 fits me good, but sometimes not..
btw i need boots for freeride + freestyle, im getting volkl dice + cartels 2013, any ideas if burton rulers will be good for me? if ill find imperials with right size ill take them, but otherwise i was thinking about rulerls/ambushes since they got my size
warlord - im from europe and shipping costs to sweden are damn expensive, but i will search for smth like that in europe stores
bumping my question, burton has only ambush/rulers in my size from all the boots i need
imperials, drivers, ions - they are all maximum 13 and i need 14
i want to spend about 250 euro for boots
so if burton, rulers or ambushes for freeride + freestyle ?
or maybe any suggestion of some other boots?
how about raptors then? they are not so heavy as well, checked some opinions about them and they are not bad, have you any experience with them ? or maybe some of your friends ?
or maybe some other boots?
I haven't had any experience with the raptors. They are light also, and the same support as the ambush. I would be interested to hear if anyone has experience with them since that lacing is different than the ambush.

Have you ever had a event that you are equally excited and nervous about? A certain holiday party where you want to look your best because your ex will be there; a high school reunion where you'll come face-to-face with classmates you want to impress; or a photo shoot where you'll reveal your bald bulbous head for the first time in front eyes other than your own? Well, the latter of the three applies to me, but I think we can all relate to an event that makes us as equally excited and nervous.
I have been much better this time around with losing hair from the chemo. This time, I've been able to look at myself in the mirror and even document and share the hair loss on camera.
However, where I fall very short is in person. I have not let anyone see me bald.
For some reason, seeing someone's eyes on me face-to-face has caused so much apprehension. No one, not even my boyfriend or family, has seen me bald in person yet. I have gotten better about accepting my new look personally, but I have this weird fear about what others see when they look at me with no hat, wig or head wrap to hide my bald head. I know my every insecurity is at an all time high because of chemo, because of the steroids etc., but I still fear the judgment as silly as that might sound.
I remember searching "bald girls" on Google Images after I was diagnosed with cancer the first time around and up popped pictures of the beautiful Natalie Portman and Demi Moore. I felt so relieved to see these Hollywood actresses make having a shaved head look sexy and cool, but I wanted to see more. I wanted to see pictures of girls who were bald because of chemotherapy. I needed to see what a cancer patient on chemo and on all the steroids looks like.
Now it's six years later and if you Google Image search "bald girls," the same Natalie and Demi images pop up, along with a fun website that has Photo Shopped various celebrities like Angelina Jolie to Halle Berry to depict what they would look like bald. These images are beautiful – but the effect that multiple rounds of chemo, steroids shots and countless prescriptions have on you physically is much different than just sporting a buzz cut. I realized I wanted to do a photo shoot that didn't scream "cancer" but instead screamed that being bald from chemo can be just as cool, artistic and beautiful as G.I. Jane!
The Big DayThe morning of the shoot I was so, so nervous. I got out of the shower and just stared at myself. "Okay you got this, it isn't that big of a deal, no one will judge you so stop being a crazy person!" I said.
I believe some of my apprehension comes from my experience taking off my wig on MTV's The Duel six years ago. So many viewers sent messages of support and admiration, while others reacted in disgust and hate. "God please tell Diem to put that wig back on. She looks like a transvestite without it!" Sadly comments of that nature stick with you, so although I was excited to do a bald photo shoot, my inner insecurity naysayer kept popping up.
Upon arriving at the PEOPLE shoot with my chemo cap on, I could see the set looked amazing! The room was filled with the nicest, most understanding people you can imagine, and I felt my nerves start to ease. The makeup artist started wiping off my makeup and although I was like, "Oh great, say bye bye to the eyebrows I just painted on," he assured me I was in great hands. "They would like to start with some natural shots and don't worry I won't take off all your eyebrows" he said with a smile.
As I walked on set, I knew the moment was about to happen, time to rip off that Band-Aid. I have always hid behind my hair, or most recently hid behind hats and bandanas, so taking it all off really does feel extremely raw and makes you feel incredibly vulnerable.
Scott Gries for People.com
"Is it okay if I just take it off now? The anticipation is making me crazy," I blurted out with a laugh trying to control my emotions.
"Of course. Any time you're ready sweetie," the photographer chirped.
My hands fiddling like a mad woman, I started caressing my chemo cap while chanting in my head, "Just do it, come on you baby... just do it," and with a flick my cap was off and I was no longer able to hold back my welled up tears.
"Wow, okay here we go, here I am y'all" I thought to myself. It's truly insane how those first moments being bald in front of other people feel. You feel completely raw and you almost feel naked. Pulling myself together I quickly wiped away my tears and said, "Okay, let's go, let's do this!"
I continued to feel raw and almost naked during most of that first outfit. I could not look anyone in the eye. I was only able to look directly at inanimate objects like a camera lens or the floor where my chemo cap was.
But as the day went on, I became more and more comfortable and even stopped putting my chemo cap back on in between the outfit changes. I started feeling strong and kept reminding myself of the image I would have liked to see six years ago Googling "bald girls."
I didn't want the image to scream "cancer" but instead wanted the image to scream strength, determination and for the images to deliver a cool confident vibe like I saw in Natalie Portman's shaved head pics. Hell, I'll be honest, I wanted to feel like I looked sexy in some of the pics just like those Hollywood chicks always seem to.
By the last outfit the music started pumping Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," so of course I started dancing to the beat of the chorus. I went from a scared, crying, anxious girl at the start of the shoot to a jumping, laughing, dancing manic girl on set by the end of the day. It was an amazing experience and I'm so very happy I went through with it... insecurities and all!
That said, whatever event you might have coming up ...do it! Go for it! Don't let your insecurities hold you back. We all have them and we all have the ability to push those insecurities to the ground and stomp them out.
In the end, you can only grow by allowing yourself to be vulnerable and you will feel a sense of pride once you put yourself out there in spite of your stupid lil inner insecurity naysayer!

Murdoch is also running
one of the few successful publications online that charges for access
-- The Wall Street Journal. The catch for Murdoch is that
there is a well known workaround for accessing WSJ content
online without having to pay or register with the publication --
Google. You can search the title of most any WSJ story that requires
a paid account with Google and find the complete article for
Murdoch is now saying that he will remove
stories all together from Google's search index as a way to
encourage people to pay for content. Encourage here is a synonym for
force. Murdoch told Sky News Australia that the papers in his empire
including the Sun, Times, and WSJ would consider
blocking Google entirely once that fully enacted plans for charging
people to read stories.
Murdoch said, "I think we will
(block Google), but that's when we start charging. We have it already
with the Wall Street Journal. We have a wall, but it's not right to
the ceiling. You can get, usually, the first paragraph from any story
- but if you're not a paying subscriber to WSJ.com all you get is a
paragraph and a subscription form."
Murdoch continued
saying, "There's a doctrine called fair use, which we believe to
be challenged in the courts and would bar it altogether... but we'll
take that slowly."
Murdoch had previously promised that
starting in 2010 charging
for the use of his websites would be enacted. He is backtracking
on that a bit and now says that he won't promise that date will be
Murdoch said, "The people who simply just pick up
everything and run with it – steal our stories, we say they steal
our stories - they just take them. That's Google, that's Microsoft,
that's Ask.com, a whole lot of people ... they shouldn't have had it
free all the time, and I think we've been asleep."
ill will between Murdoch and Google is building on the back of
significantly reduced traffic to MySpace. MySpace has a lucrative
search deal in place with Google that may be one of the reasons the
paid content work around has not been addressed before. With
significantly increased competition from Facebook pushing MySpace
into a second place spot in the social networking scene, MySpace has
missed traffic goals set by Google. The shortfall in traffic equates
to the potential for the loss of more than $100 million in income
from the Google search deal.
As Murdoch ramps up his schemes
to make money off the internet, Google CEO Eric Schmidt continues to
at Murdoch's plans. Schmidt has said in the past, "In
general these models (paid online content) have not worked for
general public consumption because there are enough free sources that
the marginal value of paying is not justified based on the
incremental value of quantity. So my guess is for niche and
specialist markets ... it will be possible to do it but I think it is
unlikely that you will be able to do it for all news."

MARTINSBURG - The 2012 deaths of a 56-year-old Berkeley County man and his 9-year-old son, whose bodies were determined to have gunshot wounds after a fire, have now been deemed suspicious and police said Wednesday they are now treating the case as a double homicide investigation.
The bodies of David Cole Hutzler, 56, and his son, James Aquilla Hutzler, 9, were found after the Jan. 6, 2012, fire. It was originally believed Hutlzer shot and killed his son before taking his own life, but police said Wednesday that new evidence suggests the incident was not the result of a murder-suicide.
"I can say that the discovery of new physical evidence and through the course of the investigation it's being deemed - it's a high probability it was a homicide as opposed to a murder-suicide," Senior Trooper C.S. Maynard said.

On the day of the incident, members of the West Virginia State Police and multiple other emergency personnel responded to 436 Apple Harvest Drive, which is located in the Glengary area of Berkeley County, for a report of a trailer fire. Through the course of the investigation, the two victims were found dead inside the residence.
"It has now been over a year since Mr. Hutzler and his son, James Hutzler, lost their life. The circumstances surrounding the deaths are suspicious in nature and the investigation is ongoing," said a state police press release issued Wednesday said.
Maynard is requesting anyone with information about the events that occurred Jan. 6, 2012, to please contact the West Virginia State Police at 304-267-0002, 304-267-0000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Persons wishing to remain anonymous may also contact Berkeley County Crime Solvers at 304-267-4999. An award may be offered through Crime Solvers for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons involved in the deaths of the victims.
The two victims were found in what was believed to be the rear bedroom of the residence. The victims' bodies were severely burned in the fire. The fire was initially treated as suspicious and the West Virginia State Police Crime Scene Team was brought in to process the scene. After the bodies were removed from the residence, police discovered what was believed to be a gunshot wound to head of the juvenile. The juvenile also sustained a glancing wound in the area of the chin. Autopsies later determined that the cause of death for both victims was fatal gunshot wounds to the head.
West Virginia State Fire Marshal investigators, with the assistance of the Loudoun County, Va., Fire Marshal's office were able to determine that there was an accelerant present in the residence and the fire within the residence was intentionally set. The fire consumed approximately 30 percent of the residence before being extinguished.

There have been quite a few threads on this topic. Here is a link to one of the more recent ones:
If nothing else, reading through that will help you to realize you're not alone!
Does anybody have any advice on using the primal lifestyle and diet to treat eating disorders? The past few years I have been battling with depression and anxiety, I began seeing a therapist about 6 months ago to treat it. Through therapy, it has recently come to my attention that what I called being 'nutritionally aware' is actually a full blown eating disorder. I restrict, I binge, and I am addicted to calorie counting and label reading. When I eat foods that aren't organic or grass fed I feel anxiety because I am afraid I am going to get cancer from it. Based on that you would expect me to be thin, yet I am 5'10" and weight 220 pounds. I am disgusted with myself and that leads me to restrict my foods and then I have a hypoglycemic episode (I've had it since I was born) I get insane, literally I can not think or function and I get really emotional, once I realize I'm just hungry I binge on tons of food, they are mostly primal but it's still a binge. After that I feel even more ashamed and so a cycle begins again. When I was 21 I used to not eat on purpose, I like the way it feels to go to bed hungry. I didn't binge then and I got down to 160 lbs and looked and felt great. I gained that weight back in about 6 months once I started binging. I know this is wrong but I can't stop. When I read these message boards I get so jealous of people who are talking about how successful they have been and how it's so easy the weight is just falling off. I want to be like that. I know 80% of it is diet, but I can't seem to stick to it and it's making me feel hopeless. This post is kinda all over the place, I guess I'm just hoping someone has advice or has been in my same situation.

If nothing else, reading through that will help you to realize you're not alone!
This may seem like a strange suggestion, but I'm tempted to think you may have to continue your binges (on primal food), without a follow up session of restriction. It's the restriction and punishment that make you feel ultimately deprived (cravings predetermined as "bad") and you probably need to get your leptin signals balanced. Your "prize" is the feeling of hunger, where you feel you've redeemed yourself. But then the cycle repeats. My intention isn't to tell you how you feel...I'm just walking through a scenario.
Eating primal foods, is a great start. The process takes quite a while, though. You'll have to consciously exercise patience each and every day.
You can find the link to my journal in my sig, I am trying to keep it updated as I battle bulimia with primal eating and supplements.
My Primal Journal:
16 years old
Primal since 8/12/12.
It sounds to me as though you're off to a great start...even though it doesn't feel like this for you.
Food heals, good primal food heals fantastically. I admire your committment to primal and I appreciate the battle is ongoing. I suffer from the binge/restrict/binge cycle and I'd love to be free of it. Last night, afer a week of strict anti-candida diet and desperate to heal my poor inflamed body, I binged on white choc chip cookies (huge ones!) and a chocolate muffin. Very unprimal, and very hormonal. But this morning I picked myself up, had a laugh at my poor bloated wheat belly and went to have my usual breakfast of green veg fried in coconut oil and 4 fried eggs. A few months ago I would have taken an appetite supressant and not eaten until dinner, hating myself and loathing every whimper from my body.
I'm keep going with this, and the more I do the more I realise that I'm not going to 'fix' myself. I can heal, but it's bloody slow. But I have the rest of my life.
Also, I go to Overeaters Anonymous, I like the kindness and the support. I recommend that, and recommend keep on trucking. Have a look at my journal if you like. I haven't written for a while as I've been so much better and so much less obsessed by food.
Good luck, you're doing well, really you are.
The key for me is not to restrict and to eat three square meals a day. Preferably no snacks as they seem to trigger binges. I have binge foods to be avoided, anything sweet and anything with nuts involved. If I'm not starving, I'm less likely to binge, or the binges aren't so catastrophic.
You are probably hormone imbalanced. Get yourself to a naturopath and a good nlp practitioner or hypnotherapist.
Everything starts with healing your gut. Your hormones are driving your binges and your depression. Hope this helps.
Eating primal will not cure your ED, but it is the healthiest way to eat as you treat the problem. Many people with binge disorders have reported that eating low-carb really helps them.
I hope you're still in therapy because you should work with your therapist on how best to deal with your ED. It seems to be 'depression/anxiety' related, and very often therapy (and possibly meds to affect brain chemistry) are the best solution.
From my reading, anyone with binge tendencies should avoid any 'restrictive' plan, so my advice would be to eat primally, but not attempt any weight loss until you're comfortable with food issues. Again, your therapist should be able to help you cope with this.
Good luck; weight management is a complex and difficult issue.
I think you should talk to your therapist before starting primal because with any restrictive eating plan, there will always be a point where eating the right thing becomes an obsession. You could easily develop orthorexia from this. I highly recommend you resolve your issues with food before plunging wholeheartedly into this. I wish you luck.

"I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath; do your research."
I like Stephani Ruper's take on all this Paleo for Women | Disordered Eating
Basically, you may well need specific psychological support -and that's fine, in fact I think it's admirable to seek treatment when you require it - it's part of knowing yourself. But, keeping your blood sugar level stable and your body nourished is going to help with regulating your eating.
Being a 32 year eating disorder poster child (anorexia in high school, bulimia in high school after hospitalization and then years of bulimia), I will respectfully disagree and say that 80% of it is MENTAL (emotional?) and the rest (like diet) falls in place. I am striving for that goal of Intuitive Eating. No more thinking and stressing about what I put into my mouth and the binges that can result when I guilt myself into thinking I've failed somehow. I know that feeling of disgust. The bulimia is not a force in my life anymore, but I am still at the point where I have to make some conscious effort not to purge.
Adding enough fat and protein to my diet was huge in tackling the over eating. It was like blasting through a brick wall I had constructed over 30 years ago. The fat really makes a difference. I eat less and I feel more full. Really.
Anxiety is a killer for over eating. I also binge when I feel anxiety if I have food handy. I am in perimenopause (47yrs) and I struggle with some hormonal fluctuations. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I get that 'fight or flight' feeling and I eat to try to fix it. Or the anxiety over wanting that wonderful looking piece of cake at the bakery, but instead I go home and eat just about everything else in the kitchen to avoid buying that one piece! I would've been better off just eating the damn cake, calorie wise.
I am glad you are seeing someone. Hopefully they can give you some coping skills and suggestions. Exercise is huge for me. You also need to get over that cancer fear. Make smart choice, not neurotic ones?
For depression: I found Omega 3 fatty acids very helpful. I know people frown on the supplements. I took 2-3 grams of Nordic Naturals EPA Xtra for 6 months and then weaned myself off of antidepressants back in 2004. I feel better off of them than I ever felt on. If you can get several grams/day of Omega 3s from food sources, try it. If not, I would suggest a quality supplement. I read some studies by Dr. Andrew Stoll (Harvard). It worked for me. I'm not a "Glass half Full" kind of gal quite yet, but I am able to feel the highs and the lows which is wonderful.
Good luck to you! Like another member said, there are a lot of threads out there. Many of us have a history of problems with food. For most of them, that is probably what brought them to PB.

Researchers aim to boost activity of a nicotinic receptor subunit that protects against addiction. [© Anyka – Fotolia.com]
The Scripps Research Institute and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have been awarded approximately $8.2 million from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) over five years to develop novel compounds that could eventually become drug candidates for the treatment of tobacco addiction. Of the funds awarded, $5.7 million will go to Scripps Research, and $2.5 million to the University of Pennsylvania. The research will focus on the development of novel kinds of potent and selective compounds that affect nicotinic receptors in the brain.
"We have been studying the properties of cloned human nicotinic receptor subtypes in vitro for years with the hope of using the methods and cell lines we have developed to discover new drugs for these receptors," says Jon Martin Lindstrom, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. "This collaboration, and the support of NIDA, provides critical elements to turn these hopes into reality."
Recent studies have shown that genetic variations in several nicotinic receptor subunits increase vulnerability to tobacco addiction, although initially little was actually known about these variations or their function, says Paul J. Kenny, Ph.D., an associate professor in the department of molecular therapeutics on the Jupiter, Florida campus of Scripps Research.
"We got interested in one of these lesser-studied subunits that influences smoking and have developed a good understanding of how it works in the brain," he explains. "It seems that this subunit is part of a distinct subtype of nicotinic receptor that actually protects against tobacco addiction. Now we want to find compounds that boost the activity of this receptor subtype in the hopes that they will be effective in reducing tobacco smoking.
"This approach contrasts with most antismoking treatments today, which are aimed at reducing the positive impact of nicotine on the brain's reward centers," he adds. "Instead, we aim to enhance the inhibitory effects of the drug on these reward centers."
Dr. Kenny said that he plans to use Scripps Florida's compound-screening resources to look for compounds that Dr. Lindstrom can then test to provide a clearer understanding of how they work on the receptor subunits. The researchers then hope to conduct further studies on the effectiveness of the most promising compounds.
