Citizens Bank of West Virginia announced that Becky Poe of Belington was a winner in their bill pay sweepstakes and will receive a $500 Amazon gift code. Citizens Bank customers automatically received one sweepstakes entry for every online bill paid and each eBill they signed up for through the Bank's bill pay service during the promotion.
"I am a huge fan of Citizens Bank's online bill pay service," Poe said. "I've been paying all my bills online for over four years and have saved so much time and postage - plus it's environmentally friendly as I've really reduced the paper used. I now only write four or five checks a month, and four of those are to my church. I plan to even start tithing using bill pay so that I'll be down to just one check a month. If you're not using online bill pay, I highly encourage you to start!"
Online bill pay can help you manage your bills without having to worry about paper bills and checks. It allows you to pay bills, review payment history and pending bill payments as well as receive e-Bills (electronic bills) and all your payment information is kept which saves you time and money - no more writing checks or buying stamps; no rushing to the post office to mail your bills and worrying about late fees. Bill pay lets you pay your bills when it is convenient for you anytime, anywhere you have access to the Internet.

"Citizens currently has thousands of customers taking advantage of our free online banking services. Online banking and bill pay is safe and secure as we utilize several layers of technology to ensure the security of our customers' transactions on the Internet."
Citizens teamed up with its online bill pay vendor to offer their customers the opportunity to participate in the national online bill pay sweepstakes which awarded a $5,000 grand prize, a $1,000 get organized packed first prize and $500 Amazon gift code second prize. The "Online Bill Pay. A Better Way to Receive and Pay Your Bills." campaign had strong results for the bank; the sweepstakes was also promoted via the Bank website and other marketing channels with a surge in new online bill pay enrollees during the two-month period.
"Online bill paying and paperless billing options are quickly catching on across all demographics and is a trend in the banking industry," Marstiller said. "There's obvious cost savings with postage and checks, and it truly is a substantial time saver. In addition, you don't have mounting bills sitting on your kitchen table; instead your bills are stored neatly online in one payment center on your online banking site."

WELLSVILLE - A rare case of goat fever has infected many residents of Wellsville recently. Symptoms include concern, speculation, debate, reminiscing, and the posting of photos and video on social media. The condition appears to be mildly contagious. It isn't fatal, although hiking up to where the goat makes its home could be hazardous to one's health.
Goat sightings in the steep hills and cliffs overlooking Wellsville date back several years, with estimates ranging up top 13 years, according to eyewitness accounts. The animals usually remain in that territory, but since the beginning of March, a goat has been seen roaming into the village itself.
A pair of posts on a Wellsville-dedicated Facebook page earlier this month generated a combined 70 comments that included appeal for the animal's welfare, guesses about how long it's been living there and whether it's a nanny or a billy, and other goat-related chatter. The overwhelming sense was one of concern for a old friend who hasn't been seen in many years.
Wellsville Police Officer Steve Rogers says the goat is in the habit of coming out of the brush at the end of winter to lick the remaining salt off the roads. "That's what I've seen him do this time of year, every year," he said. True to form, the goat has been spotted in the area of state Route 7. "He was between the on-ramp and the actual highway, in that [grassy] strip, so we had to shoo him back up onto the hill," Rogers said.
Police have been receiving periodic calls from residents at the north end of town when the goat starts wandering close to or into the village. Lately, it's been seen as far down as the McDonald's parking lot on Lisbon Street, indicating to many that it was famished following a long and harsh winter. "I felt bad for it, because I knew it was hungry," Rogers said.
On Facebook, a debate ensued about feeding the goat, building it a shelter or even relocating it to a less hazardous area away from the freeway. A consensus was reached that the goat needed food, and volunteers swept into action.
Wellsville Feed & Supply donated a bag of hay the first week of the month, which was placed atop the hill on Wells Avenue across from the BP station where the goat had been spotted foraging. Most agreed that the small bundle would only last it a day or two, however.
A member of the Wellsville Animal Advocacy Group (W.A.A.G.) that preferred not to be identified said she had delivered oats, lettuce, apples and bread to the same spot and came face-to-face with the animal. "The goat was big, brown and white," she said. "It ran about 50 yards or so away and watched me. It was still watching me when I left, probably waiting for me to leave, so I did."
While rumors have persisted that the goat originally belonged to someone and ran away, resident Penny Rodgers is convinced by its behavior that isn't the case. "She is definitely wild," she said, telling a similar story of its skittishness around people.
Rodgers was one of many worried that the goat would be hit by a car or suffer a similarly violent fate. Her concern is not without reason. According to Rodgers, the goat - a female, it turns out - lived alongside a billy goat up on the hill, and the pair had two kid goats. The family unit was not to last, however. The male was captured and taken to a nearby farm, where he died of unspecified causes.
The young goats met equally sad ends. "The one baby fell off the hillside and died, and somebody shot the other one," Rodgers said. She worries that someone may try to shoot the nanny goat if they know she's still up there. "You know how people are," she added sadly.
For now, the village goat appears to be in good health. A 50-pound bag of goat feed was purchased and hiked up the steep, treacherous terrain by resident Lonnie Hentzell over the weekend.

To the South of the palaestra (central square for sports) of the bath-gymnasium complex you will see a while later lies the Synagogue. It was built in 230-250 and rennovated in the 4th century. It was in the form of a basilica, ending in an apse. In front of this one can still see a table like construction for offering, with eagles on its sides and two double-lions standing at their flanks. At the other end of the basilica are some raised pediments for religious purposes. The whole has been restored to an extent where it is hard to decide what's original. But it works.
This mosaic is at the entrance.

Grace Lozano (M.S. '12) | Clinical Psychology
McNair Research Intern
from San Antonio, Texas
B.S. in Psychology, 2011
M.S., Clinical Psychology, 2012
Have you ever wondered why some people are more sensitive to insults than others? Or if media can really affect the self-esteem of young girls?
I was in a search to be intellectually and spiritually challenged, shaped and edified, and ACU offered that for me.
Grace Lozano ('12) has gotten up close and personal with the human psyche as she sought the answers to these and other questions during her quest for a psychology degree from ACU.
Grace finished her undergraduate work in three years with ACU's Professional Career Track program and is now working on a master's degree in clinical psychology.
Throughout this time, she has partnered with Drs. Richard Beck, John Casada and Jennifer Shewmaker on research projects and has presented her research alongside them at conferences.
"It's been invaluable to me to be a part of research as an undergraduate," she says. "It has prepared me to excel in my graduate programs, and it has opened me up to so many learning experiences."
Aside from research experience, ACU benefited Grace in more than just a few ways, she says.
"I was in a search to be intellectually and spiritually challenged, shaped and edified, and ACU offered that for me," Grace says.
She has also had the opportunity to work as a graduate assistant for the psychology department and as an intern at Abilene's Acadia Psychiatric Hospital.
Upon graduation, Grace hopes to enter a Ph.D. program in counseling psychology. She believes her time and work at ACU will be to her advantage as she continues her education.
"We have an exceptional psychology department at ACU," Grace says. "Each professor brings something unique to the table. I have grown significantly in my conversations, classes and research opportunities in large because of my wonderful professors."

quote: Woman drives 900 miles out of her way after GPS error By Mike Krumboltz | The Sideshow (Yahoo News)Put too much faith in technology and you may wind up in Croatia. A 67-year-old woman from Belgium learned that the hard way after she followed (faulty) directions from her GPS device.The woman only wanted to go about 90 miles from her hometown of Hainault Erquelinnes, Belgium, to pick up a friend at the Brussels train station. Her GPS device sent her about 900 miles to the south before (during the second day of driving) she realized that something was amiss. It's unclear if she entered the address incorrectly or if the GPS was faulty.Discovery explains that the driver, Sabine Moreau, stopped twice for gas, slept on the side of the road, and "even suffered a minor car accident" along the way. She told El Mundo that she wasn't paying attention."I was distracted, so I kept driving. I saw all kinds of traffic signs, first in French, then German and finally in Croatian, but I kept driving because I was distracted. Suddenly I appeared in Zagreb and I realized I wasn't in Belgium anymore."The lesson here: If you start seeing road signs in (multiple) foreign languages, pull over. You're probably going the wrong way.

This month's Life is a Special Occasion theme, sponsored by Hallmark, is about Thanksgiving and family time. For me, growing up, family was everything -- our vacations were to see family, and every holiday was spent with family.
As far back as I can remember, Thanksgiving was always at my grandparents' house until recent years. I mostly cared about my Mommal's mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts (which I now make.) It usually ended with everyone stuffed and lazy on the couch to watch a movie on TV and look through the sale ads for the day after shopping (we still do this, too!) The Target and Michael's ads are my fave.
After we got married, we shared Thanksgiving weekend with both of our families- usually spending the actual day with my parents and that Saturday with Jeff's parents. I always bring the same thing every time: roasted Brussels sprouts and fresh green beans with toasted almonds. Sometimes we've even celebrated with all our families (my parents, in-laws, including all the brothers and sisters-in laws and their parents!) but as the years have gone on and we've added so many extra people to our families, we've gone back to celebrating where we can fit.
2003 was the first year I was to host at our house -- turkey in the oven and everything! --and Noah had his first seizure. We spent Thanksgiving in the hospital. My mom brought us a plate. I don't remember eating anything. It has taken me several years to embrace the holiday with warmth and good memories. But I can finally talk and write about it again without panicking. A very big thing to be thankful about! And PS this year we celebrate Noah being seizure-free for seven years now. SEVEN! THANKFUL!
A few years ago we started a precious tradition. As we prepared for the meal, Noah marveled at a ceramic pumpkin with a lid on the sofa table. He busied himself with cutting tiny slips of paper and announced, "hey guys, let's write down what we're thankful for and put it in the pumpkin and read them all later!"
And so we did (and still do.)
Later we read them aloud and are thankful for each other, our Thanksgiving meal, for chocolate and coffee (OF COURSE) and for our jobs and beds. We smile and we love and we thank. I can't wait to hear what everyone writes this year.
I never have the heart to empty the pumpkin so each year we add to the thankful reminders. I look forward to this very much.
Last year I gathered everyone around and read An Awesome Book of Thanks by Dallas Clayton. I plan to have the kids read it to everyone this year. I love how we've combined old traditions with new... it is a wonderful harmony.
What is Thanksgiving like for you? Do you hold on to traditions from your childhood? What new rituals have you added?
Hallmark is compensating me for participating in the Life Is A Special Occasion campaign, and they are encouraging us all to embrace new traditions- don't miss their big in-store Holiday Open House this weekend November 4-6!
Sign up for their promotional emails (you might even see me in there!) by following this link. I am partnering with Hallmark to spotlight how Life Is A Special Occasion for the rest of this year. As always, all content, memories, and opinions expressed are my own.

No LTE LG Nexus 4 brings Google back to its roots
0. phoneArena 29 Oct 2012, 15:24 posted on
One of the first things that people may notice about the new LG Nexus 4 is that despite its suite of powerhouse features, there is not LTE model. At first, we thought this could be just because Google was only announcing the version that was going to launch in the Google Play Store, and not the variant for certain carriers...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. alouden (unregistered)
I was hoping for an LTE Nexus for Verizon. But I completely understand and agree with Google NOT producing such a device. Nexus and Verizon seem to have opposite meaning anyway.
ANyway, no matter what phone I get next, it will be rooted and free of Verizon's bloatware.
10. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1236; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
just get the new nexus..problem solved :)
23. alouden (unregistered)
It won't work with Verizon.
28. therealestmc (Posts: 334; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
Leave Verizon then. Are they the only network in your area?
56. alouden (unregistered)
I could, but am in a family plan. I know what my options are. Would love a Nexus, but I understand it isn't possible if I stay with Verizon. So I will look to other options: the Note 2 (although the obscene branding by Verizon has pretty much rulsed that out), the upcoming HTC phone, a potential LG Optimus phone, others I am unaware of...Not ieal, but that's how it goes.
74. AWiseGuy (Posts: 68; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
I've heard you can just scratch off the branding from the home button as it isn't baked into the plastic. Alternatively, you could buy a replacement home button, but that would be a risky replacement.
25. remtothemax (Posts: 260; Member since: 02 May 2012)
...wait, what?
27. alouden (unregistered)
HSPA+ is not compatible with Verizon. And there is no LTE radio. This Nexus in its current state cannot be used on Verizon. Someone wrote below that it will only be released by tmobile.
36. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
released "in stores" by Tmobile.
It's able to be used by any GSM carrier though and its sold through the Play Store.
41. alouden (unregistered)
Yes, forgot that part. Thanks. It is sold unlocked and can be used on HSPA/GSM.
29. Goldeneye (Posts: 419; Member since: 22 Jan 2011)
Looks like only Apple is capable to make carriers "my way or the highway" hate to say it but even Crapsung bends to carriers desires, just look at the Verizon's Note with the stupid branding.
49. Kjayhawk (Posts: 293; Member since: 07 Oct 2010)
I'm sorry people but I just don't see this phone selling... 16 gb and no lte. It might be good for a small crowd but I wouldn't expect any big figures on this phone. Despite the Fact the phone has every other awesome spec one could imagine with probably the most ridiculous price point EVER!!!
It's a great phone no doubt but I just can't see it getting popular with the masses.
2. Atrixboyyy (Posts: 348; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Google should be more honest and just say it. u.s hasn't built its LTE enough and doing wat they did wit the vzw nexus would just shackle their profits .
62. Goldeneye (Posts: 419; Member since: 22 Jan 2011)
Are you kidding? The US is where LTE is being deployed faster than anywhere else in the planet, Europe and Asia barely started deployment, sure LTE still I'm its infancy but here in the US is where by next year will be available to the masses.
70. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
The problem is that, while LTE coverage is decent, one can't live exclusively on LTE. Data on LTE is fine, but voice over LTE has barely been tested at this point, let alone deployed at full scale.
The only option is to run two antennae, which is a battery killer. And in any event, the money that would be spent licensing LTE patents would drive the price up significantly.
As for producing CDMA/LTE models as with the Galaxy Nexus (and to a lesser extent, the Nexus S), the reason for not doing so is pretty clear. Google wants all Nexus devices to be pure Android. Not mostly pure Android except for when Verizon delays an update or throws on their proprietary apps. I would love for Google to push Verizon and Sprint to get out of the way like Apple is able to do, but for now, the best they can do is not offer devices on those networks.
While it's a shame that there is no LTE, the fact of the matter is that we're talking about a phone that sells for $350 unlocked. To ask for a quad core processor, 2GB of RAM, and a high-res display with decent build quality at this price is crazy. But to ask for all that AND LTE, that's truly absurd.

Its not the first country to have LTE not even in the first 5 and yea deployment has been fast but only on vzw which is why I said "doing what they did with the last nexus would limit profits" both LTE and non LTE variants should be sold at least until LTE is available EVERYWHERE.

20. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
directly, it will be sold through Tmobile. However Its unlocked GSM capable of every GSM carrier in the world.
There is no advantage to buying it direct through Tmobile except that you can put it on a payment plan if your on Value and dont want to pay all 350 up front.
If they promise its still a "non carrier" device that way, I might go for that. However if it has a Tmobile logo on it, its a carrier device, and I'd rather just buy it outright from the play store. Got my wife's N7 that way and it was quick n painless.
33. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Yea it makes sense.
39. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I would root for the 350 on the play store and problem solved :)
17. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
As parkwaydr said, probably T-Mobile as AT&T has already released the LG Optimus G which is basically the non-Nexus version of this device. Although you will be able to buy it unlocked through the Google Play store for AT&T and T-Mobile.
31. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Only officially on sale through T-Mo, but the unlocked will work on any GSM carrier, including AT&T. Given the history of Nexus, I'd expect a Sprint model at some point, it might be a few months from now though.

19. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
I don't normally say this, but it's the most asinine, inane, and downright retarded thing I've ever seen Google do.
Good Lord. This about ruins the entire announcement for me.
Google can't succeed with this. Internet speed is CRUCIAL.
However, I do agree that HSPA+ on AT&T is pretty good and can get about15 mbps down, which is close to the average household internet speed in the US. It won't compare to the iPhone in advertising, though.
All in all, bad, bad move, Goog. Galaxy Note 2.
21. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
If it's 42mb/s capable, that's as fast as LTE, without the battery drain issue. Other than saying "LTE" on it, what advantage does it specifically have? Like the nice article mentions, it doesnt open it up to new markets or even new people by having LTE. In order to have new markets they would have to bend to VZW's stupidity of slow updates again.
Considering the Nexus is for its core power users and people that are smart enough to not want to be caught by expensive subsidy plans and carrier BS, LTE has little real world benefit to those customers.
24. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Every time I've tried Tmo's 4G, my Sprint Wimax has beaten it. That says a lot.
Google should have put a bigger battery in, LTE, and pimp slapped the carriers (including Verizon) so that they stop f**king around.
Just my two cents.
35. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
then you've never tried TMo's 42mb/s 4G. I've never seen it lose to WiMax its not even close. test after test shows wimax in the 2-6mb/s area.. maybe you get lucky with a spike here or there. But Tmob's 42mb/s HSPA+ its 20's and 30s in testing. Wimax maxes at 12 "theoretical" and never sees higher than like 8.
Even metro beat sprint in the last national test, and Metros "LTE" barely broke 4mb/s.
48. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Tried it on the Galaxy Note 2 yesterday with almost full coverage. Full coverage on my Epic 4G Touch as well. WiMax destroyed HSPA, there was about a second more of delay pulling up Google. And that says a lot.
Oh, also, the Galaxy Note 2 is really awesome. :D
45. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
LTE is 100 mb/s capable. Using my phone, I can get 30 mb/s download without going outside. There have been times where I have gotten more than 42 mb/s download speeds. AT&T and T-Mobile dont get service at my house. AT&T works outside, but to use T-mobile, I would have to drive over a mile down the road. Sprint is even worse.
65. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
NO LTE currently offered is 100mb's capable. That is LTE-A. Yea, you will see bumps in the 30s and 40s but they wont sustain under load, just like any other tech.
The funny thing is that the first company to LTE-A might actually be TMobile. They do this "last to the tech, first to the upgrade" bit all the time. They wait till its cheaper by letting everyone else roll it out, then they roll out after the upgraded version of the tech is availible... at less cost than the original roll out.
They are loading up LTE-10 on the new LTE build out which is the tech precursor to LTE-A. That automatically makes them more advanced than VZW, and with a simple software upgrade to LTE-A, they will be twice as fast.
The same trick they pulled with HSPA. Last one to expand GSM 3G but they waited till HSPA+ was available while ATT rolled out HSDPA (7.2mb). Tmo went right for 21mb/s HSPA+ with a quick software upgrade to HSPA+ 42 at a much cheaper cost.
Last in the race, first to 2nd base.
If it doesnt work for you, then that sucks, but if your in a Tmobile area like most actually are, your silly for sticking with VZW.
46. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
I would say it is more like 2010. By the end of 2011, I could drive from hove to Dallas on LTE, while streaming music and downloading movies.

Oh nooo, I was really hoping for a LTE Nexus 4 :-(. Guess gota wait linger than anticipated.
11. Kjayhawk (Posts: 293; Member since: 07 Oct 2010)
HSPA+ is 3 times faster than 3g and provides plenty of speed for an average user and coverage! But unfortunately by the end of 2013 verizon stated that almost all of its 3g map will have 4g. Making 4g the industry standard by next year, so this phone i would say is not future proof. Android really hasn't been able to nail 4g anyways on my galaxy nexus it kills the battery too fast and drops a lot. I don't know about the iPhone 5 and if it can keep a solid connection or not.
At first I thought verizon would release another version of the device but that is not looking likely at all.
Unfortunately the lack of space is a killer for me, but overall the phone is a great and solid phone.
Quick note and a lot of us are guilty of it, but how android fans are suddenly back peddling on LTE, how we use to make fun of the iPhone 4s for lacking it and now were in the same position making the same exact arguments.
15. wumberpeb (Posts: 453; Member since: 14 Mar 2011)
I don't believe anyone is back peddling. Anyone looking forward to this device is extremely disappointed not to see LTE capability, and its just unacceptable at the end of 2012. 4G (Wimax) first showed up around June 2010 with the Evo 4G!
And the iPhone 4S was especially disappointing to not see LTE a year ago.
69. bigstrudel (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Aug 2012)
Dont worry about it. LTE may become the standard over the next couple years; but HSPA+ will be the fall-back and still will be around. And it will still be fast enough for anything on the web.
72. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
HSPA+ is going nowhere in the next 10 years. What future are you worried about? VZW may have more LTE markets next year, but they are still far from turning off CDMA and going LTE only. It's quite future proof.
And at only $350 off contract, you can afford to get another phone next year with LTE.
Win now, win later.
12. wumberpeb (Posts: 453; Member since: 14 Mar 2011)
If Sprint gets this model, and there is no LTE, I'm not getting it. Whether I have LTE or not in my neck of the woods, it will eventually make it my way and I'd like to be ready. I applaud Google for wanting to create a "Pure Nexus" experience, but having SOME carrier restrictions for Nexus devices is better than not having access to the device at all. Awesome deal for GSM carriers, but CDMA gets screwed.
Truly a disappointment...
14. majid_pf (Posts: 7; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
it,s ok for my country. Because we have still 2g !!! :(
18. Jyakotu (Posts: 844; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
I guess that's all fine and dandy for those buying the T-Mobile variant or those who are buying this unlocked, but for those on Sprint and Verizon, a non-LTE model of the Nexus 4 doesn't seem like the best idea. Still, the GNex is a very capable device and I'm sure it can run Android 4.2 no problem if the update comes to the Verizon and Sprint models in the near future.
22. BadAssAbe (Posts: 456; Member since: 22 Apr 2011)
LTE Does not matter for me at least
No Coverage where i live
No Coverage most places
When i do use 3G its for important stuff not HD YouTube videos and HD Maps
Carriers Data cost is too high
AT&T and Verizon use different networks so you need different phones (even the iphones)
Raises Phone cost
400$ is cheap enough to buy and then sell next year when the new nexus comes out (must have in case to keep Like New) :-) :-)
26. therealestmc (Posts: 334; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
I am cool with that. I don't really care about LTE, as long as I can get at least 5Mb Down and 1MB up on HPA+. I have the S3 LTE and honestly do not the different in actual use between my wife's Nexux on T- mobile. Yea, Speed test will reveal that LTE is faster and that's about it. I don't care about bragging rights.
32. Owlet (Posts: 450; Member since: 21 Feb 2011)
Well, that's a disappointment. Does it have to be this difficult to have the most advanced device with all the latest features available to the public? Why is it like this? Either pure Android, fast updates, no bloatware, NO HIGH SPEED, NO AVAILABILITY for the biggest carrier. Or, available to everybody with LTE speeds, with crapload of s**t impossible for some people to get rid of, slowed down by them, with half the battery life, frustrating update schedule and removed awesome features?
Bad, bad, bad. I don't think this Nexus phone can succeed either way. So unfortunate.
40. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
1) it has the strongest hardware, even stronger than my personal favorite, the Exynos quad.
2) it has all the latest features
3) its not available on VZW presumably because Goog is pissed at VZW for their treatment of the G-Nex updates. U want to be mad at someone, be mad at VZW.
4) HSPA+ is JUST AS FAST AS LTE IN TESTING... so I dont know why people keep crying that its not going to be "fast" on the internet. Who cares what the tech is as long as it get the job done
5) HSPA+ is available in more markets around the world than LTE by a long shot. GSM/HSPA+ coverage far exceeds LTE coverage in the US.
The best way to stop all the carrier BS is to make phones like the nexus "successful". If they think they are losing money because peeps are tired of their shyt, then they will tone it down. As long as they keep charging more and you keep paying, they are not listening to a damn thing your saying.
42. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
6 the device is dam cheap, you can get it of contract 50 buxs more than the Galaxy Note ON contract (600-800 off contract)
This is the cheapest most powerful device on the market right now no matter how you look at it, yeah they could have added LTE chips and more battery but a what cost? 500 unlocked? Lazy ass Verizon update shedule and all the blame on the Big G, hell no HSPA for the masses fast updates and reasonable pricing for a superphone
64. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)

well, thats weird.. half my comment disappeared. hmm.
- - - - - - - -
This snobby tech geek is finally going to upgrade. As much as I dig deep into each devices tech and talk smack for missing this and that, the Nexus 4 has the holy trifecta of super power + cost + feature list. It's not perfect, but no phone is... but it's as close to perfect as we're probably gonna see for a while. And look, it even has a Krait Quad and not an Exynos (that was hard for me lol)
And I think I'll take one of those shiney new N10 tablets too (Exynos 5 and super dense screen!). For the money I was gonna put aside for the Note2 unlocked, I can have both the N4 and N10.
58. Owlet (Posts: 450; Member since: 21 Feb 2011)
I don't think you understood my comment completely. I just said it's frustrating that there has to be a compromise of this sort. I'm not looking to blame somebody. I understand why it's happening. It's just sad that it has to be this way. I, too, want this phone to succeed. But afraid it won't with this kind of compromise.

The Green Wave wrestling team brought home the Cane Bay Duals championship Saturday.
Nearly 20 varsity teams competed in the fourth annual tournament held at Cane Bay High School. Summerville went 5-0 in the tournament and claimed the championship with a 42-30 win over Hanahan in the finals.
The Wave advanced to the finals by defeating Carolina Forest 56-12, Bamberg 51-29, Wando 56-16 and Beaufort 43-30.
I think we wrestled well and I am pleased to have won with the quality of schools that were represented at the Cane Bay Duals, Summerville coach Darryl Tucker said. It was a good measuring stick but its still early in the season. There are a lot of lineups that will look differently in January and February.
Summervilles Dylan Wyman, Tyler Fachko, Gavin Perkins, Daniel Smith, Chad Wood, Kyle Sullivan and Trey Privette were all undefeated during the tournament.
Beaufort defeated Stratford in the third-place match. Cane Bay finished in fifth place in the tournament after winning a tiebreaker with Wando on the most first takedowns criteria.
Summerville, Beaufort, Stratford, Wando and Cane Bay are all ranked among the states Top 20 Class AAAA teams. Hanahan entered the season ranked second among the states Class AAA teams.

Kmart's dwindling presence in the Buffalo Niagara region is shrinking even further, with the retailer planning to close its Depew store April 14, a company spokesman said Wednesday.
The Kmart at 1460 French Road near Transit Road employs 68 workers, who will be given the chance to apply for positions at other Kmart and Sears stores in the area, said Howard Riefs, a Kmart spokesman.
"This store is being closed because the lease was not renewed," Riefs said. "The store closures are part of a series of actions we're taking to reduce ongoing expenses, adjust our asset base and accelerate the transformation of our business model. These actions will better enable us to focus our investments on serving our customers."
The closing is a continuation of the steady downsizing of Kmart, which said last year that it would close 60 of the 1,305 U.S. Kmart stores it ran at the beginning of 2012, as its sales have declined. At the same time, Kmart's owner, Sears Holding Corp., said it would close 34 of its 834 Sears stores and dozens of other smaller, specialty stores in a cost-cutting moves.
Despite the downsizing, Sears Holdings said earlier this month that it still expects to lose between $721 million and $801 million during 2012 as sales fell at both its Sears and Kmart chains. Sales at stores open for at least a year fell by 3.7 percent at Kmart last year, while Sears sales slid by 1.6 percent, mainly due to weak consumer electronics sales.
After the Depew store closes, Kmart will have four stores remaining in the region – West Seneca, Buffalo, Cheektowaga and Niagara Falls – as well as a store in Batavia.

Theb is a multipurpose word. It can be used as virtually any part of speech (though the noun form is not very common). Grammatically it is very similar to how "fuck" is used, except theb can also be as a substitution for "reaction" words such as "neat" "cool" or "lol" etc. May also be used as a greeting or exclamation in certain contexts.

The Scottish Heritage Society of North-Central West Virginia announces its annual Burns Supper will be held from 5:30-9:30 p.m., Jan. 26, at the Stonewall Resort in Lewis County.
For 20 years, the event has been held in the Clarksburg/Bridgeport area, but the society is excited to offer it at this new location, hoping it will make it easier for Scots in the central, south-central and mountain counties to attend.
For the past 212 years, people of Scots and Scotch-Irish heritage have gathered together to celebrate the life and works of "Scotland's poet," Robert Burns, who often is described as the most human and noblest of the romantic poets. His work touches us even today. He wrote the words to "Auld Lang Syne," composed the scary "Tam O'Shanter" that has become standard reading in middle school literature courses and created the poem "Red, Red Rose" so that men for the last two centuries could woo their ladies on Valentine's Day.
Beginning in 1801, people all over the world started gathering together around the anniversary of Burns' birthday to listen to Scottish music, feast and make toasts in his memory. From Scotland to Australia to Canada and the United States, it's quite a party to honor the man and his unique contribution to literature.
Jeff Gibson will serve as the chairman of the dinner, and Curt Mitchell will give the address to the haggis in true Scottish dialect. Piper Carl Henson will lead the procession and pipe in the chef, Joe Corcoglioniti, as he presents the Haggis to those assembled.
This year's Burns supper is open to the public and offers a hearty Scots menu, including haggis, "Cock-a-Leekie Soup," salad, sliced roast beef with gravy, stuffed pork chops, grilled chicken breast with lemon and capers, whipped potatoes, seasonal vegetables, chocolate fudge cake and cherry pie. Seating is by reservation only and those reservations can be made by contacting Bill or Eleanor MacLean at 304-842-0370 or email@example.com. Tickets are $35 for adults and $25 for children.
The Scottish Society is glad to once again welcome the musicians of Aurora Celtic. This group from the hills of West Virginia specializes in the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland, and it will perform songs common during Burns' life and which were brought over to the new world by the first settlers.

Registered nurses at Kenmore Mercy Hospital, working without a contract, overwhelmingly rejected a four-year offer on Monday.
The vote was 94 percent negative and 87 percent of the nurses balloted, according to Erin Bowie, a staff representative from the Communication Workers of America.
CWA Local 1133 represents about 270 nurses at the hospital.
Bowie noted before the vote that the union bargaining committee did not recommend the contact and that rejection would be considered an authorization to strike. She said, however, that a work stoppage would be "a last resort" and the union would try to work with the Catholic Health System to come up with contract that the nurses would approve.

, updated December 12, 2012 at 7:16 AM
The Buffalo Bills' run defense has made a worst-to-first turnaround in the last five weeks of the season.
Consider the following numbers, put together by the team's media relations department: In the first eight games of the season, the Bills were allowing 169.5 rushing yards and 5.6 yards per attempt, totals that ranked 31st and 32nd in the NFL, respectively.
Over the last five games, those numbers have fallen to 78.4 yards and 3.1 yards per rush, figures that are second and tied for first in the league. The Bills also lead the AFC in stopping opponents 41 times for negative yards on rushing plays, a total that ranks sixth in the NFL.
"You see guys getting where they need to get, making the tackles. Very few missed tackles. That's really the biggest difference," said linebacker Bryan Scott. "We always knew the potential this defense had, and now you see us coming into our own the last four or five weeks."
The Bills have held their opponents to less than 90 yards rushing in each of the last four games, marking the longest such streak since Weeks Two to Five of the 1999 season.
"I think there's a great trust factor among our defensive players that everybody has their gap and they stay in their gap," coach Chan Gailey said. "They're very disciplined about attacking the line of scrimmage in their gap. We're not giving very many creases. … You really predicate your defense on your run defense and it's been outstanding."
The numbers back up Gailey's belief that a good defense starts with stopping the run. After allowing 417.9 total yards per game in their first eight contests, which ranked 31st in the NFL, the Bills are allowing 272.8 yards per game in their last five, second to only Pittsburgh (248.7) in the NFL.
Not surprisingly, the stat that matters most — points — also has improved. The Bills had allowed 28 points per game in their first eight, that number has been reduced to 18 per game in the last five.
"I don't think the confidence was shaken [early in the season], it was just more questions like 'why aren't we?' because we know we're capable of doing it," Scott said. "Some of the things I see now, we're just playing very well together, reading off of each other."
Not being "gap sound," as the players call it, was referred to several times in the first half of the year, particularly in Weeks Four to Eight, when the Bills gave up 937 yards on the ground, an average of 234 per game.
Gaps are the space opposing running backs try to rush through. The space between a center and guard on either side, for example, is referred to as the "A" gap, the space between the guard and tackle the "B" gap, and it continues like that out to the sideline.
A defensive player is assigned to a particular gap, and even if he doesn't make the tackle, his job is to clog up the running lanes and allow his teammates to swarm to the ball. Too often early in the season, the Bills said that wasn't happening.
"I think all that's been cleaned up. We're not doing anything differently. I think the things are cleaner. I think guys are where they're supposed to be and I think guys are playing faster," defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. "I think that was the main thing … guys getting on and off the blocks and getting to the ball, and not missing gap assignments are huge. It's amazing what being in your gap can do."
Fellow defensive tackle Marcell Dareus had another theory for the improvement.
"The second half of the season, we told ourselves as a defensive front, as a defense, all together we're going to draw a line in the sand, and I guess that's what we did," he said. "Our defensive front, we just put our mind to it, we're going to do the best we can, no matter what else is going on around us. … Just as a front, we really feel like we can do this, we can be one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL. That alone is just helping our team."
It's worth noting the teams the Bills have had success against in stopping the run rank in the bottom half of the league, but individually St. Louis' Steven Jackson (836 yards, 16th in the NFL), Miami's Reggie Bush (791, 18th) and Indianapolis' Vick Ballard (562, 26th) all rank in the top 30. Bush and Jackson, in particular, present two drastically different styles.
"Our guys have handled it extremely well," Gailey said.
Sunday will go a long way toward proving just how far the run defense has come. The Bills face the Seattle Seahawks, whose ground attack is led by former teammate Marshawn Lynch. He ranks second in the NFL in rushing with 1,266 yards, and the Seahawks as a team are fourth.
"I know he's going to be excited for this game, but at the same time we're going to do the best we can to shut him down," Dareus said.
The Bills officially ended running back Fred Jackson's season by placing him on injured reserve Tuesday, a day after it was revealed he suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee.
To take his place on the 53-man roster, the Bills promoted defensive tackle Jay Ross from the practice squad. Ross spent one game on the active roster earlier this season, Week Six in Arizona, before being released and brought back for his second stint on the practice squad.
The Bills will go into Sunday's game against Seattle in Toronto with just two running backs in C.J. Spiller and Tashard Choice. Gailey said Monday fullback Corey McIntyre could serve as a third running back if needed. The Bills signed running back Zach Brown to the taxi squad Tuesday to give themselves more depth at the position.

MARTINSBURG - "I know it's a dream ... but I'd like to get my paper free now," laughs Edna Brumbaugh, 86, of Martinsburg, a longtime Mirror carrier who gave up her route at the end of 2012 after 29 years of service. "I enjoyed it. I hated to give it up."
According to her daughter, Lisa Brumbaugh, Jan. 1 was the first day her mother hadn't worked since she was a teenager.
"Since I was 13," Edna corrected her.

Edna Brumbaugh and her daughter, Lisa, sit together at Edna's kitchen table at her home in Martinsburg. Edna was contracted to deliver the Altoona Mirror for 29 years.
"She liked making people happy," Lisa said. "She wanted to do a good job."
'She's always worked'
Edna's time as an independent contractor began when she was in her mid-50s and had already finished a 20-year career as an order picker for Warnaco Group Inc. in Duncansville.
Lisa, then 13 years old, had picked up a delivery route to make extra money in high school. Edna helped out from time to time, but when Lisa went to Lock Haven University six years later, she decided to take over the route.
She thought it would be a good way to get exercise, do something good for the community and keep herself busy.
"She's always worked," Lisa said, and added that her mother liked how the early-morning delivery time left afternoons free for other responsibilities.
Edna also took care of her husband full-time, after he suffered a stroke in 1971 until his death in 2002.
Lisa also said her mother took her older neighbors to doctor appointments, whenever they needed her.
Edna also volunteered for 15 years at Townes Edge restaurant in Martinsburg, said owner Don Weyandt.
"Whatever we needed her to do," she would do it, he said, from helping in the kitchen to cleaning up out front.
"She was always dependable," he said.
Good customer
All who know her said a strong work ethic is part of Edna's identity.
Martie Kreider, a Mirror subscriber whose paper Edna delivered for nearly three decades, said she didn't realize how lucky she was until friends told her their paper didn't always arrive consistently or that they would have to look around their yard for it.
"Our paper was always on time in the years of the afternoon deliveries, and when [the Mirror] went to early mornings, so did our papers. Very early," she said.
Mirror Circulation Manager Dan Slep said Edna was one of the Mirror's best independent contractors. He said subscribers expect delivery, and it's only when something goes wrong that anyone notices.
Slep said the rigors of the seven-day-a-week, 365-day-a-year job typically mean high turnover among carriers.
"She made our job easy. ... [Her replacement] has a lot to live up to. The bar has been set high," Slep said.
Kreider called Edna's work ethic one of "quiet devotion" - she worked tirelessly, never expecting anything in return, never looking for praise.
"She's a good example for today's time," Kreider said.
Retirement plans
In October, Edna began suffering from congestive heart failure, forcing her decision to retire.
Now she is making time for herself: completing word find puzzles, watching "American Idol" or the Gaither Vocal Band and listening to the radio.
She's also fond of her "granddogs" Pepper and Cinnamon, 5-year-old miniature pinscher-beagle-Chihuahua mixes, and has quite the green thumb. Lisa said her mother will remain a "Jack of all trades."
But retirement isn't going to slow down Edna too much.
She said she's continuing with a plan she hatched after a bank was built near her home a few years ago. She told friends she planned to erect a post in her yard with a sign that reads "Night deposits." Failing that scheme, she asked neighbors for help tunnelling under her house and into the bank's vault. According to Edna, no one would conspire with her.
Picturing the octogenarian, shovel in hand, drew a laugh from her daughter. "She's a spitfire," Lisa said. "That's her and you wouldn't want her any other way."
No matter whether Edna ever mysteriously comes into money - and the bank vault simultaneously becomes empty - fond memories of her time delivering the paper remain.
"I always wanted to treat my customers like I would want somebody to treat me," Edna said. "I never thought I'd get in the paper for delivering the paper."

Macro Photography - A quick how-to.
Macro photography is photography magnified. It is generally recognized as "macro" when you are increasing the size of an object in your picture from about half life-size, as represented on the image sensor, to five times life-size.
What you'll need:
- DSLR with a bright optical viewfinder.
- Special purpose macro lens, not necessary but would be nice.
- A close-up attachment. This is a filter-like lens that mounts to the front of your normal lens and allows you to focus more closely.
- Ring flash or a flash unit if shooting at a low aperture. It is impractical to use your camera's built-in pop-up flash because the length of the lens, with or without the macro attachments, will cause a shadow from the camera's flash.
- Tripod
- Your f-stop should be no wider/larger than f/16 to get most of the subject in focus.
- Narrow depth of field. This is unavoidable.
- Use the fastest shutter speed possible to prevent unwanted subject motion/blur.
- Autofocus doesn't always work well when shooting extreme close-up photography. Switch to manual focus and you'll get more consistently sharp macro pictures.
Be Creative:
- Shoot from unexpected angles.
- Try front lighting for deeper color saturation and side lighting to highlight texture.
- Experiment.

also, a lot of people are offering suggestions based around gosac and to be honest i really don't like that idea especially since i spent so much time perfecting pet positioning and whatnot. not arguing though, if that's what's gonna fix the spec i'll take whatever i can get.
