It's American Icons night on Dancing with the Stars, and the guest judge is choreographer Kenny Ortega. And we're in the semifinals! Who will make it to next week's finale? The results may surprise you. (Spoiler: Who would have predicted an all-Olympian "bottom three"?
Tom Bergeron trickles the results out over the first hour, but we'll spare you the suspense and just give them to you right here: Candace/Mark and James/Peta are safe, while (surprise!) Amy/Derek, Charlie/Sharna and Meryl/Maks are in jeopardy. Did anyone see that coming?!
On to the dances. Two per pair this week!
Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas
First dance: waltz
The dance: Candace dedicates her dance to Bible teacher and author Angela Thomas, and notes that she's always just really performing "for an audience of one" (God). Now that we're in the semifinals, it seems like Candace is really in it to win it, and she looks nothing short of a Disney princess twirling around the ballroom — at least for the first half of the dance. A few of her transitions in the second half of the dance are a little awkward, and it creates a bit of a domino effect as she can't seem to get it back on track until the final notes.
What the judges say: Len notes that the pressure might have gotten to Candace because she made a few mistakes. Kenny says Candace got a little "lost" in points but he's admired her journey. Bruno encourages Candace to cover her mistakes rather than panicking about them, and Carrie Ann agrees.
Score: 34 (out of 40)
Second dance: jazz
The dance: All I can think of during this dance is Candace getting so uncomfortable during her and Mark's earlier discussion of "nasty boys" and "nasty girls." Also that D.J. Tanner somehow morphed into Velma from Chicago. Candace has definitely made progress when it comes to her comfort level, but she still could be a little more sultry in this number. Still, her footwork is sharp.
What the judges say: The dance was "crisp, clean, tight and together — and totally unexpected," according to Len. Kenny likens Candace to the best Broadway dancers. Bruno appears turned on(?) by this side of Candace. Carrie Ann is also impressed by the "pristine" dance, but would have liked more attitude from Candace.
Score: 38
Charlie White and Sharna Burgess
First dance: foxtrot
The dance: Charlie turns to figure skater Scott Hamilton for guidance. His and Sharna's dance to "New York, New York" is fine, but personally I'd like to see Charlie take a little more control. To me he looks more like a wide-eyed little boy than a "king of the hill." And his ice dancing-esque moves at the end of the song, while impressive, feel a little out of place. But the crowd (and the judges) eat it up.
Page 2 of 4 - What the judges say: Kenny proposes a toast to Charlie and calls the routine "delightful." Bruno says he started as Fred Astaire and finished as Baryshnikov. Carrie Ann says he exceeded her expectations even after last week's routine, and Len also loves it.
Score: 40
Second dance: samba
The dance: Oof. Watching Charlie try to pronounce "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems" earlier in the show was hilarious and adorable, but the beginning part of this dance is just so awkward. His footwork is great, but his upper body could use a little work. But the real problem is that they should have just chosen a different song.
What the judges say: Clean and precise, but "lacking a little funk," according to Kenny. Bruno agrees, but adds that Charlie deserves to be in the final. Carrie Ann is also confused that Charlie and Sharna are in jeopardy — though she points out that Charlie was a little "flat-footed." Len also advocates for Charlie to be in the final, while criticizing the dance for being a bit "heavy."
Score: 36
Amy Purdy and Derek Hough
First dance: quickstep
The dance: Amy's icon is Oprah, who gives her a very Oprah-ish phone call ("Is that Derek? Oh my GAAWWWDDDDD!") No way is the pressure of being in jeopardy getting to these two! Talk about having a spring in your step — the flexible prosthetics Amy uses for this number are kind of amazing, and her leg movements are flawless. It's just crazy to watch, and the dance snaps, crackles and pops like a live wire.
What the judges say: Bruno looks like he's just witnessed a miracle, while Carrie Ann says it was great to see Amy go "full throttle." Len says he would have liked more body contact, but commends Amy for successfully tackling her greatest challenge thus far. Kenny blatantly begs voters to not send Amy and Derek home, and wishes his mom a happy birthday. (Does he know the results are predetermined?)
Score: 39
Second dance: jazz
The dance: This routine is just great, and Derek again does a great job of incorporating furniture to compensate/distract from Amy's impediments. The dance strikes an amazing balance between being sultry and lighthearted, and Amy once again turns in an eye-popping performance.
What the judges say: Bruno says Amy surpasses herself week after week. Carrie Ann notes a small synchronization flaw. Len salutes Derek for his choreography, and gives him a standing O. And Kenny says Derek "redefines choreography for this generation" and calls the dance "perfection."
Score: 39
James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd
Page 3 of 4 - First dance: cha cha
The dance: James' icon is producer L.A. Reid, and he's dancing to Michael Jackson. This dance definitely shows a different side to James, and it's a refreshing one filled with attitude. As per usual, he and Peta put a little bit of a contemporary spin on a classic cha cha. Some of his movements are a little sloppy at points, though.
What the judges say: Carrie Ann says Michael Jackson is hard to pull off, but calls the routine "spectacular." Len dubs it "terrific," while Kenny opts for "electrifying." Bruno does his best MJ imitation behind the table while gushing over the dance.
Score: 40
Second dance: rumba
The dance: This routine is fine, if a little boring. James' movements are completely smooth, but the most impressive parts of the dance come courtesy of Peta, especially during their dips. A little surprised she didn't go for the skin vote this time around — James keeps his shirt on the whole time!
What the judges say: Carrie Ann compliments James' lines and hip movements. She, Len and Kenny all tell James to make his hands more expressive. Bruno also agrees but says the routine is more like "Islands in the Steam" (ha).
Score: 36
Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovskiy
First dance: jive
The dance: Meryl gets some inspiration from former DWTS champ Kristi Yamaguchi, and despite a few tense moments in rehearsal, her and Maks' Elvis-inspired jive is fun and funky. Just because of the nature of the dance, it's not as mind-blowing as some of their routines in previous weeks, but it would still be a real shame if they don't make it to the finale.
What the judges say: Len calls it "fantastic," while Kenny says Meryl's kicks and flicks were practically lighting the floor on fire. Bruno says he loved the "rock and roll extravaganza." All the judges get kisses from Maks. Carrie Ann tells Meryl her movements were "flawless and perfect." (Is everyone getting overpraised tonight, or am I just a grump?)
The score: 40
Second dance: waltz
The dance: Here's the Meryl and Maks we've come to know and love — telling the dramatic story of a scorned lover. Meryl is transfixing as she glides across the floor. I also love her skirt. She matches Maks toe for toe, and this is probably the best dance of the night.
What the judges say: Len loves that Meryl "went for it 100 percent," and Kenny reiterates that they blew him away. Bruno loves Meryl and Maks' "roleplay" and compliments the cinematic nature of the dance. And a giggly Carrie Ann is thrilled at how Meryl can blend elegance and grace with power.
Page 4 of 4 - Score: 40
So, who's going home? Here are the results:
Safe: Amy and Derek, Meryl and Maks
Eliminated: Charlie and Sharna
What do you think? Are you shocked that Charlie and Sharna didn't make it to the final? What was your favorite routine of the night? And who do you think will take home the Mirrorball next week? Sound off below!

When Your Child Needs a Spinal Tap
When Your Child Needs a Spinal Tap
A spinal tap (also called a lumbar puncture) is a test that checks the health of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This fluid surrounds the brain and spinal cord. During the test, a small sample of CSF is removed from the spinal canal to be tested in a lab. The test is safe and does not damage the spinal cord or nerves. Within a few hours your child's body will make new fluid to replace what is removed. From start to finish, the test usually takes about 30–60 minutes.
|During a spinal tap, a sample of cerebrosprinal fluid (CSF) is removed near the base of the spine. The spinal cord is not touched.
Before the Test
Follow all instructions given by your child's health care provider to prepare your child for the test.
Your child needs to lie still during the test. If this will be difficult for your child, he or she may be given medication (sedative) ahead of time to help stay calm during the test. Anesthesia is also an option. This is medication that causes your child to fall asleep and not feel pain or discomfort during the test.
If anesthesia will be used during the test, you'll be given specific food, drink, and medication instructions to prepare your child. For instance, he or she may be told to not eat or drink for a certain number of hours before the test.
Let the Health Care Provider Know
For your child's safety and best results, tell the health care provider if your child:
During the Test
A spinal tap is performed by a trained health care provider. Ask your child's health care provider in advance if you can stay with your child in the hospital room. Your child may bring along a favorite toy, such as a stuffed animal, for comfort.
Your child changes into a hospital gown and lies on a hospital bed.
If needed, anesthesia is given to your child. A trained nurse (anesthetist) or doctor (anesthesiologist) helps with this process. Special equipment is then used to monitor your child's breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
If your child is awake during the test, he or she is asked to curl into a tight ball and then remain still.
Your child's low back is cleansed so that the skin area is sterile.
Medication is used to numb the area.
A hollow needle is then inserted through the back into the small space that holds the fluid in the spinal canal. Sometimes the needle is inserted more than once to find the best place to draw the fluid. Once the needle is in place, the fluid sample is slowly collected. The pressure of the fluid may also be measured.
After the fluid is collected, the needle is removed. The area is then cleaned and bandaged.
After the Test
Your child may be asked to lie still or rest for a few hours after the test. Be sure to follow any activity restrictions as advised by your child's health care provider.
Some soreness in the low back is normal. A pain reliever, such as acetaminophen, may be recommended to help manage any discomfort.
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your child's health care provider to review the results of the test.
Call the doctor if your child has any of the following:
Helping Your Child Prepare
Many hospitals have persons trained in helping children cope with their medical care or hospital experience. These persons are often called child life specialists. Check with your child's healthcare provider if child life programs or other similar services are available for your child. There are also things you can do to help your child prepare for a test or procedure. How best to do this depends on your child's needs. Start with the tips below:
Use brief and simple terms to describe the test to your child and why it's being done. Younger children tend to have a short attention span, so do this shortly before the test. Older children can be given more time to understand the test in advance.
Tell your child what to expect in the hospital during the test. For instance, you could mention who will be performing the test and what the hospital room will look like.
Make sure your child understands which body parts will be involved in the test.
As best you can, describe how the test will feel. For instance, if your child is awake during the test, he or she may feel some discomfort or pressure when the needle is inserted. Reassure your child that this discomfort won't last long.
Allow your child to ask questions and answer these questions truthfully. Your child may feel nervous or afraid. He or she may even cry. Let your child know that you'll be nearby during the test.
Use play when telling your child about the test, if appropriate. With younger children, this can involve role-playing with a child's favorite toy or object. With older children, it may help to read books or show pictures of what happens during the test.

6 Stupid Things Pet Owners Need to Stop Doing Now
#3. Throwing Them Birthday Parties
Yes, this is a thing that really happens. There are websites dedicated to it and everything. If you're one of the pet owners out there who are currently doing this, or even just planning to do it, understand this: Nobody gives a shit. Not your family, not your friends and especially not your dog or cat. House pets are content with just being fed and petted on a regular basis and having a place to sleep. They're extremely low maintenance in the emotional department. When you organize a party for your pet, what you're really doing is making it absolutely clear just how dire your need for attention has become. It's not enough that you get one special day dedicated just to you each year, but now you have to have one for your pets also? No, of course you don't. What you really need is another excuse for people to go out of their way to make you feel special.
"Does this nearly asphyxiated dog make my clinical depression look fat?"
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy cake just as much as (if not more than) anyone else, but having your local bakery whip one up in the shape of a bone and making me buy your stupid dog a gift just to get to it is where I draw the line.
#2. Buying "Exotic" Pets
Sure, a dog or a cat might be sufficient for "normal" people, but you live outside the lines, man. You don't play by the same rules as the rest of the world. That's why you're the proud owner of a goddamn chimpanzee. Coincidentally, that's also why your best friend is currently being mauled in your living room while you chat with a 911 operator about the best way to subdue an enraged beast who's tired of living in the captivity of your tiny home and has decided to express its anger by tearing someone's face from their skull. There is a reason that dogs and cats are the most common house pets. That reason, of course, is because they know that their role in this world is to be our loyal companions. They just naturally like the way we operate and have taken a shine to the great indoors, just like humans. You know what animals don't feel that way? All of the rest of them. Every single one. Be it a bird, fish, iguana or total fucking asshole ferret, those animals have one thing in common, and that is their intense desire to not live in a cage for your entertainment. Take the Slow Loris, for example. These adorable little critters have been popping up in YouTube videos for a few years now, with seemingly heartwarming results ...
But there's more to that video than just a cute animal being cuter than it already is. What you're really seeing is an animal whose main defense mechanism when threatened is to be as docile as possible. It's not throwing its hands up because it loves being tickled, it's just terrified and thinks that letting this cackling freak of a pet owner touch its stomach will keep it from being slaughtered. Oh, and they're also extremely sensitive to light, which explains this adorable video ...
And did I mention that the Slow Loris is one of the only mammals that emits toxins when it bites? No worries for the pet owner though, because poachers just remove their teeth with wire cutters before they ship them off to whatever shady black market sells inappropriate pets to rich assholes. And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to exotic pets that nobody should own. But, hey, at least you get a unique pet out of all that horror. It's probably cheaper than buying a sports car to make up for all of your shortcomings.
#1. Breeding In Negative Traits to Satisfy the AKC Appearance Standards
I accept that most of you read the title of this entry and had no idea what it meant. I wasn't all that sure myself when someone brought it up in casual conversation recently. To give you some background, the AKC stands for "American Kennel Club." These are the people responsible for deciding not only whether a dog is "purebred" or not, but also whether that purebred dog is pretty enough to partake in dog shows and whatnot. While their aim may seem innocent enough, some of the things they require of show worthy animals could very well be killing them, or at the very least, making their lives miserable. And that's not just because they have stage mom owners who live their lives vicariously through their canines. Take the absurdly cute if not somewhat 1970s blaxploitation-ish dog in the lead photo here, for example. This beautiful thing was the winner of the 2012 Westminster Dog Show, the longest running sporting event in the history of the United States. As awesome as it would be, the dog is not sticking its tongue out in some sort of Michael Jordan tribute boast aimed at the other dogs it bested. It probably just can't breathe that well. Check out this quote regarding what kind of havoc the AKC is wreaking on the dogs of the world: "As they deliberately manipulated the appearance of dogs to create or accentuate physical characteristics that were considered aesthetically pleasing, like the flat face of a bulldog or low-slung eyelids of a bloodhound, breeders also created physical disabilities. The excessively wrinkled skin of the Chinese shar-pei causes frequent skin infection; bulldogs and other flat-faced (or brachycephalic) breeds such as the pekingese have breathing problems because of their set-back noses and shortened air passages." So that's nice, we're intentionally breeding dogs to have health problems all in the name of making them look acceptable to a group of people who judge which dogs look better while doing shit like this ...
And the health problems don't end with irritated skin and breathing problems. Everything from tumors to sudden cardiac arrest has been traced back to purebred breeding standards. And this comes from the people who allegedly love dogs more than anyone else. Sorry I couldn't make this entry funnier. Fuck these people. And if you're raising a dog to live up to their Third Reich-like standards, fuck you, too.

A Virginia native living in Altoona will be among several honorees at one of the inaugural balls this weekend in Washington, D.C.
Dennis Butts, recipient of three Purple Hearts in Vietnam and founder of several companies dedicated to enhancing the lives of veterans, will be honored by event organizers as an "American hero" along with 11 others.
Butts will attend today's ball at the Hyatt Regency with an Altoona-area contingent including singer Kaylee Hoffman, songwriter Rocco D'Uva and artist Alyssa Maurer, for all of whom Butts has become a career advocate.
Hoffman will perform an arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner" written by D'Uva.
The All American Inaugural Ball is being put on by GoCity Events LLC, whose event partners include U.S. Vets TV.
The ball is not affiliated with the White House, which is holding the Inaugural Ball and the Commander in Chief Ball, according to a spokeswoman for the Presidential Inaugural Committee.
The president and vice president will be invited, according to the event website.
"However, they are not expected to be in attendance," the site states.
U.S. Vets TV suggested Butts as an honoree, according to GoCity spokesman Mike Harrigan.
"We found him to be an outstanding individual, a true patriot and well deserving of this award," Harrigan wrote in an email.
Other honorees: U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee; federal prosecutor Arthur Rizer, who was wounded in the Iraq War; U.S. Army sergeant Monte Bernardo, who was wounded in Afghanistan; Marine Reserve Lt. Col. Justin Constantine, who was wounded in Iraq; Todd Bowers, wounded in Afghanistan as a Marine Reserve staff sergeant; and Perea Blackmon, who was Teacher of the Year for 2012 in the Washington, D.C. school district.
U.S. Vets TV is a partner in a joint venture founded by Butts called After Action Report, a webcast show on vets issues. The other partner in that joint venture is Military Comm Networks, which Butts also founded.
Butts is also founder of Military Association Benefits Group, Military Entertainment Group, Military Music Tribute and Military Art Tour.
The president of Military Association Benefits Group is Rocco D'Uva's mother, Athena D'Uva, who will also attend the ball.
She said she was working in the insurance industry when she met Butts. They created the benefits group because veterans damaged by war were having a hard time getting life insurance at reasonable rates - or at all, Athena D'Uva and Butts said.
Butts worked through some prior insurance contacts, and their group struck a deal with a firm to write a package of life, health, dental, disability, property and casualty policies for vets at rates equivalent to employer rates, Butts said.
He created Military Music Tribute to provide a vehicle for Rocco's musical abilities, which are mainly in production and engineering, according to Butts.
Athena had suggested he have a look at a local event her son was involved in, and afterwards, Butts spoke to Rocco.
"I said to Rocco, 'Let's look at how to promote this talent that you have,'" Butts said. "But you've got to find someone who can sing."
Rocco suggested Hoffman, whom Butts said has "a beautiful voice" and is a "beautiful girl with a bright personality."
"That's how we launched it," he said. "It was something I had looked at and thought about until we could find the key players."
The plan is make music "to honor our troops, veterans and their families," states the tribute website.
He's planning a tour for D'Uva and Hoffman, and the inaugural ball is the inaugural stop, he said.
They will be the lead artists for concert tours that will also feature "positive" patriotic music on military themes by service members, their families or veterans.
He discovered Maurer at Panera Bread, where she was doing scratchboard art, which requires the removal of a layer of black clay with etching tools to reveal shades of white.
When Butts asked if she would like to work on military themes, Maurer demonstrated what she could do by producing a piece featuring a combat soldier, kneeling.
"It was incredible," Butts said.
He put together an art tour for which Maurer will be the lead, displaying her pieces and supervising evaluation, acceptance and placement of "positive" works featuring military subjects by local service members, their families or veterans at each stop.
The first will be in April at the National Infantry Museum in Fort Benning, Ga..
While the music and art tours will be separate, Butts said they will intersect at the bigger art venues.
The overall goal is to help service members and their families cope with the problems of combat, especially post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, Butts said.
"When a person goes into combat, he never comes home," Butts said. "Somebody does come home ... but it's a totally different person."
Revenue generators will include subscriptions to online video platforms for artists to connect remotely, commissions to produce art to be placed in buildings like hotels and the sale of music online, by CD and in concerts, he said.
Butts originally came to this area to relax and think about retiring but he said he believes he's discovered here a "rich resource of untapped talent," represented by the people he's taking to Washington this weekend, he said.
The people with that talent are "unjaded," he said. "Not the pompous people you deal with in DC."

MARTINSBURG - Faith Christian center Carolyn Castle ruled her domain in Friday night's contest against the Grace Academy, Md., Knights.
Castle commanded the low block, scoring 14 points and grabbing 13 rebounds, and prevented the Knights from defending the paint in a 40-32 Mason-Dixon Christian Conference victory.
"Dominating inside is our bread and butter," Falcons coach Rob Daugherty said. "We look to get the ball inside as much as possible and make layups that way.

"No other team in our conference has the height that we do."
The Knights were able to attack the basket early and take a 9-6 lead at the end of the opening quarter in front of a packed house.
"We needed to relax and take our time," Daugherty said. "It was our senior night, and it felt like a homecoming game out there.

"There were a lot of people in the gym, and they were nervous, so it all came down to settling down and taking our time. The rest will come."
Once Faith got settled in, the Falcons outscored Grace 14-7 in the second quarter to take a four-point lead to halftime.
"It was great to hear all of the fans there cheering for us," Castle said. "It was a boost of confidence for us that helped us play better."
Castle conquered the paint in the second quarter, scoring second-chance points by shooting the ball of the glass, then making up for her missed attempt on the rebound.
"That all is entirely an accident," Castle said. "I just shot the ball and then got down there because it was open."
Grace was able to rally in the third quarter and regain the lead with eight minutes to be played.
"We just came out cold in the third quarter," Daugherty said. "We couldn't make any shots as they started pressing, which we did not handle so great."
The Falcons were able to bounce back in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Knights 15-6 in the final frame to take the victory.
Olivia Stoddard added eight points for the Falcons, and Ally Romine finished with six points and four assists.
The Knights were lead by Allie Fox, who scored a game-high 15 points. Caitlyn Cox added seven points and Jocelyn Quirple finished with six points.

St. Cyril of Alexandria - John Charmley - 21-10-2006
I wonder whether a report of the one-day conference on St. Cyril of Alexandria, which was advertised in the 'Forthcoming events' section, would be of interest to other readers? On the off-chance that it is, I should like to post one here; should any other members of the Fellowship have been there, I should be most interested to share their views.
St. Cyril has become something of a consuming passion, and I am reading his works as part of my catechumenate, so I was looking forward to the event, which was held at All Hallows Convent, Ditchingham, in Norfolk; nor was I disappointed.
The lecturer, Russell Jefford, has an engaging style and accessible manner, and his presentation was very clear; I think that everybody there appreciated the effort he had put into his lectures.
The first part of the day dealt with St. Cyril's career before the Nestorian controversy, and if there was nothing new here to those familiar with McGuckin's work, Jefford provided a workmanlike and pertinent summary of the main points. For my taste he did not do enough to stress the context within which St. Cyril was working, but then I suspect I am a little too pro-Cyril, so he may have got the balance right!
After lunch he dealt with the Nestorian controversy. He outlined the differences between the Schools of Antioch and Alexandria, whilst not forgetting to mention that recent scholarship has tended to elide the old black and white picture of the differences between the two. It was good to have the Christology of Nestorius outlined so well, although I do tend to get a little irritated with the modern fashion for saying that Nestorius was not a Nestorian; I know what it means, but it comes across a little glibly.
Jefford rightly emphasised the vital point that Cyril's soteriology depended upon the Logos being enfleshed; a non-human Son could not have died for us, and we could not hope to become deified had the divinity not become human. This important point is something McGuckin deserves congratulations for rescuing from the condescension of posterity.
Jefford's account of Ephesus was both succinct, accurate and entertaining.
Jefford concluded by describing Chalcedon and its 'fall out'. Here he took too Eastern Orthodox a line for my taste, although he did emphasise that the Non-Chalcedonians see the word 'monophysite' as both insulting and inaccurate. He concluded by taking the moderate EO line that there are no real Christological differences between the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox. I thought he ought to try the Monachos website if he really thinks that the EO are ready for that one!
I would recommend Mr. Jefford's lectures to anyone interested in Patristics. He begins a series on the Cappadocian Fathers in January, and I shall post details on this site later.
I came away having enjoyed the day. I should have liked to have been able to wrestle a little more with the complications of St. Cyril's Christology, but in a day school aimed at everyone, I could see why Jefford shied away from the debate over the meaning of words such as hypostasis and persona.
I hope that is helpful to anyone who comes across Mr. Jefford's lectures, and wonders whether to go.
In Christ,
St. Cyril and the Eucharist - John Charmley - 31-03-2007
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we approach Holy Week, I wanted to share this passage from St. Cyril on the nature of the union and the Eucharist with you:
Quote:Let them then, who of their folly have not yet admitted the faith in Christ, hear, Except ye eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, ye have no life in you. For wholly destitute of all share and taste of that life which is in sanctification and bliss, do they abide who do not through the mystical Blessing receive Jesus. For He is Life by Nature, inasmuch as He was begotten of a Living Father: no less quickening is His Holy Body also, being in a manner gathered and ineffably united with the all-quickening Word. Wherefore It is accounted His, and is conceived of as One with Him. For, since the Incarnation, it is inseparable; except as regards the knowledge that the Word Which came from God the Father, and the temple from the Virgin, are not indeed the same in nature (for the Body is not consubstantial with the Word from God), yet are they One by that coming-together and ineffable concurrence. And since the Flesh of the Saviour hath become life-giving (as being united to That which is by Nature Life, the Word from God), when we taste It, then have we life in ourselves, we too united to It, as It to the indwelling Word. For this cause also, when He raised the dead, the Saviour is found to have operated, not by word only, or God-befitting commands, but He laid a stress on employing His Holy Flesh as a sort of co-operator unto this, that He might shew that It had the power to give life, and was already made one with Him. For it was in truth His Own Body, and not another's. ... He went into the city called Nain, and one was being carried out dead, the only son of his mother, again He touched the bier, saying, Young man, to thee I say, Arise. And not only to His Word gives He power to give life to the dead, but that He might shew that His Own Body was life-giving (as I have said already), He touches the dead, thereby also infusing life into those already decayed. And if by the touch alone of His Holy Flesh, He giveth life to that which is decayed, how shall we not profit yet more richly by the life-giving Blessing when we also taste It? For It will surely transform into Its own good, i. e., immortality, those who partake of It. Commentary on St. John 4/2.
St. Cyril here seems to make a key point (it is a shame that Pusey's translation makes it difficult to grasp except at third reading, but good to have it in the OOL edition, all the same).
By being both wholly human and wholly divine, the Incarnate Lord, in assuming our flesh, redeems it from the effects of sin; and we, in this life, through participation in the Eucharist, can receive Him.
May be it was simply a deficiency in my education as an Anglican, or maybe it was simply a defect in Anglican education, but I had never come at the Eucharist this way before exploring Orthodoxy. It is, indeed, the fullness of the Faith.
In Christ,

Earlie Delaney arrived too late to Tuesday's meeting of the Philippi City Council to be placed on the agenda, crawling in a few minutes after the meeting was called to order.
But the Anmoore man had just crawled up two flights of stairs, literally, because City Hall does not have an operating elevator or any other working device to make the second-floor council chambers more accessible to the handicapped public. He also crawled down the hallway from the landing to the chambers because his crutches had been left at the bottom of the steps, and he had no other way to upright himself until he could get to a chair.
"I did that as a protest for the way they are treating handicapped people," Delaney said after catching his breath. "I've talked to people about the (Americans with Disabilities Act), but there's no teeth in the law, nothing to tell them they are in trouble."

Earlie Delaney takes crawls up the stairs in Philippi City Hall
Delaney had no need to take the slow, plodding route he did, said Philippi City Clerk Tammy Stemple. She said had Delaney given notice to the city leaders about his desire to attend the meeting, special accommodations would have been made. Delaney has attended council meetings in the past, and those meetings have been held in a city gymnasium or in the first-floor hallway. But Delaney said it is hard to hear the comments from the council members when the meeting is held in the gymnasium.
"We have tried to accommodate him to the best of everyone's ability," Stemple said.
The chair lift at City Hall has been shut down for more than a year because of a failed inspection.

Earlie Delaney takes it one step at a time at the Philippi City Hall Tuesday, a task made more difficult because there is no working chair lift nor an elevator in the building. That prompted the handicapped Delaney to crawl up the stairs to the city council chambers in protest.
"It's a dinosaur," Stemple said. "It took a while to even find parts for it. It has been repaired, but the tag has not been removed. The city manager has sent the paperwork to Charleston, and now we are waiting for an inspection."
Delaney lost a leg to diabetes in 1999 and later injured his back. He moves around with the aid of crutches. He said he decided to crawl up the 20 steps and two landings as an act of protest, but said it was for another handicapped person and not for himself.
The Delaneys have been involved in a dispute with a neighbor whom they say operates a diesel truck at all hours. They claim the fumes from the truck aggravate the health condition of Delaney's sister, but the city council ruled against the complaint. Since the family lodged the public complaint, Delaney said his sister received a citation for playing her radio in violation of a noise ordinance and was fined $7.
Delaney said he plans to discuss with the American Civil Liberties Union how his family is not receiving equal protection under the law, which he claims is a violation of his 14th Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.
"We are sensitive to the needs of impaired citizens," City Manager Karen Weaver said. "We have accommodated him in the past. We are working with the (U.S. Department of Agriculture) to do upgrades to City Hall, and those issues would be addressed at that time."

PITTSFORD – An injury to a starter during training camp is never a good thing, but when it comes to Stevie Johnson and the Buffalo Bills, it might not be all bad.
Assuming Johnson is able to recover from the pulled left hamstring he suffered Friday in plenty of time for the Sept. 8 season opener against New England, his absence in the meantime gives the Bills plenty of time to sort out a crowded group of young receivers vying for playing time behind him.
"There's a lot of talent in our room," said second-round draft pick Robert Woods, one of the players whose workload has increased with Johnson hurt. "I think this opportunity is great for us rookies to come in, and all the other receivers as well. It's a great opportunity to put more on film and get more reps."
The Bills know what they have in Johnson, who last year became the first receiver in team history to record three straight 1,000-yard seasons. He has 443 catches and 3,235 yards in his career.
The other 11 receivers on Buffalo's roster have combined for 145 catches and 1,415 yards. Subtract Brad Smith's total from that, and the numbers drop to 44 catches for 466 yards.
"We've got a lot of young guys out there," Bills coach Doug Marrone said, before praising them in the next breath. "They are really progressing well and now it's a matter of being consistent."
Through the first week of training camp, second-year man T.J. Graham has been with the starters. Graham is coming off a rookie season in which he finished with 31 catches for 322 yards.
"Compared to my expectations, not as good. But compared to others in my situation, I guess it was average," he said, when asked to grade his first season in the NFL. "I feel like I could have done a lot better. I wanted to play a lot more, get more snaps, but they weren't putting me on the field if I didn't know what I was doing. I needed to learn more. All that learning that I did to try to get on the field has helped me now."
Graham said a 1,000-yard season as a viable second option to Johnson is a "very obtainable" goal.
"I had 300 last year just on screens," he said. "Things have to be better to play in the NFL. You can't be out here if you're not doing good things, so I'm just trying to be as consistent as possible."
Graham said his entire rookie season was overwhelming — and not just on the field.
Even the minutia that comes with moving to a new place was brand new.
"It was so many things you had to learn," he said. "Just the dynamics of the building, where to go in there, where to eat, everything like that. As a rookie, everything is crazy. It's like you're living a dream. Now it feels kind of second nature."
Graham's struggles as a rookie were most on display when the Bills played in Toronto against the Seattle Seahawks.
He was charged with four drops in an ugly 50-17 loss.
"That was my lowest point in a long time," Graham said. "I was trying too hard. I was pressing very hard to do a good job. Those games can really help you become a better player, though. You need those games to set you back, to humble you a little bit."
Graham said that even though a new offense is being put in place, the lessons he learned as a rookie translate.
"Plays may not be exactly the same, terminology not the same, but it's the same concepts," he said. "We're trying to get to the same spots on the field."
Marrone would like to see Graham — and the rest of his receivers — get to the middle of the field.
"I kind of value who is going over the middle," Marrone said. "I think that Stevie has proven that he can go in there and get that. Brad has done a nice job of that. I think Robert Woods in his college career has done a nice job of that. Now he has to do it at this level.
"Basically what we're looking for is that type of consistency at that position, and I feel very comfortable with Ike Hilliard coaching them. He's done an outstanding job with them. I've seen the progress."
Marrone has spoken promisingly at camp about the prospects of Woods, Da'Rick Rogers and Marquise Goodwin —– all rookies. He also pointed out they have willing teachers in their peers, particularly Johnson and Smith.
"They're all working hard," Marrone said. "So if that's a credit to the younger guys for coming in and being professional, or Stevie and Brad, I don't know. But I have seen Stevie and Brad take some time to go and talk to those guys. I think it's a natural position for them to be in when you do have a young group, and I think they've stepped up to it."
Woods said despite the intense competition for roster spots, the wide receivers have bonded as a group.
"Each and every guy is vying for that starting spot, but at the same time, we're all helping each other, to get each other better," he said. "You never know what's going to happen. We may need that guy, so we're just trying to build our unit up."

Plans to eliminate dozens of school psychologists, social workers and other student support staff from next year's Buffalo schools budget were scrapped Wednesday in response to concerns from parents and school leaders.
The district also reversed course on controversial plans to end maintenance of the Johnnie B. Wiley stadium, which serves both student and community athletic needs.
The Buffalo school district has rolled out a preliminary $797 million base budget for next school year that would increase spending by $14 million despite the net elimination of more than 30 full-time jobs.
It was reviewed Wednesday by the district's Finance Committee.
"It's important to place a strong priority on services to students and staff in the classroom and supporting the teaching environment process," said Superintendent Pamela Brown. "That is the core of all of our work."
The initial 2013-14 budget proposal included plans to save $3.9 million by dramatically scaling back its student support teams, which are assigned to every school.
The teams include psychologists, social workers and counselors who were placed in each building in 2009-10 to assist troubled students, provide emotional and behavioral support, and ward off suspensions.
Cuts to 48 positions from this group were restored in the budget discussed with school board members on Wednesday.
Instead, Brown said she wants to conduct a comprehensive Special Education audit to find better ways to improve student achievement while containing costs.
The district also agreed to continue maintaining Johnnie B. Wiley stadium. The district will, however, cut back its maintenance costs from $100,000 to $61,000 by eliminating a maintenance position.
The restorations made to the budget on Wednesday created a new $4 million gap that will be closed in other ways, said Chief Financial Officer Barbara Smith.
Among them, the district hopes to save:
• About $2 million by consolidating or eliminating many classes with enrollments of fewer than 15 students.
• $720,000 by changing its elementary in-school suspension program from a half-day program at 19 elementary schools to a full-day program hubbed at five school sites.
• $500,000 by cutting 50 school bus aides through attrition. The reduced number of aides would be assigned to buses on a priority basis, she said. Finance Committee members raised some student safety concerns about this.
• About $300,000 by reducing the number of new administrators the superintendent had originally planned to hire as part of the central office reorganization process. Initially, Brown intended to add four new positions. The current budget proposal now adds only the deputy superintendent position.
Other district cuts include the closure of six schools, many of them temporary "swing" schools used to house students while their home schools were being renovated as part of the district's reconstruction plan.
Schools slated for closure include Poplar Academy No. 11, School 70, School 8, WEB Early Childhood Center No. 71, School 77, and Early Childhood Center No. 78.
The district had originally planned to move Middle Early College High School from its current, leased building at 290 Main St., owned by developer and board member-elect Carl Paladino, to School 8.
Those plans have fallen by the wayside, at least for now. The district's lease agreement with Paladino's Ellicott Development expires in December.
Other positions slated to be cut from the budget include several central office positions, but many of those cuts will be offset by the hiring of more special education teachers and teacher aides.
Finally, the district will spend $31 million in reserves to close the remaining deficit.
Students are not expected to lose any athletic program offerings under the proposed budget.
Because the district has adopted a new school-based budgeting model, the 2013-14 budget proposal includes few, if any, districtwide cuts to academic programs. Instead, principals and other school-based administrators may be forced to make some tough decisions on their program offerings on an individual basis.
Smith, however, said that no school will receive less money than it received this year.
The $797 million budget does not include another $114 million the district receives in grant funding. Base budget funding comes 80 percent from the state, 9 percent from the city, 5 percent from sales tax revenue, and the remainder from other sources.
Much of the $14 million budget increase is attributed to rising health and pension costs and charter school tuition payments, Smith said.
The proposed budget still includes money for the expansion of some programs.
These include the creation of STAR Academy, a new program aimed at serving overage and under-credited students; the expansion of extended-day programs and related costs at low-performing schools; and the purchase of more textbooks so more high schoolers can take core-subject textbooks home.
The budget is slated for adoption on Wednesday.

A pharmacy student apparently was selling drugs from an ice cream truck he drove through Cheektowaga neighborhoods last summer, federal authorities told The Buffalo News on Thursday.
Abraham I. Reinhardt, a 23-year-old Clarence resident who attends St. John Fisher College in Rochester, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly selling prescription painkillers, hallucinogenic mushrooms and marijuana after a four-month investigation.
He became a high priority for U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents after they received information that he was dealing drugs from the ice cream truck.
"The minute we heard that he had access to children through his ice cream truck route, we accelerated our investigation of him," said Dale M. Kasprzyk, resident agent in charge of the DEA's Buffalo office.
Reinhardt, who works part time as a pharmacy technician at a Rite Aid in the Rochester suburbs, was arrested Wednesday afternoon following an undercover drug sale in the Buffalo area.
"He had 80 Opana pain pills on him that are highly addictive and, unfortunately, the drug of choice among many of the opiate addicts now," Kasprzyk said.
That bust gave agents enough evidence to secure a federal search warrant for Reinhardt's college apartment in Rochester where additional prescription pain medications were seized along with the marijuana and a substantial quantity of mushrooms. About $2,000 also was confiscated.
It is not determined at this point if Reinhardt stole drugs from Rite Aid.
But U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. said Thursday the case serves as a warning to those with access to prescription medications through their employment that they will be pursued if they violate the law.
"What makes this case particularly troubling, if the allegations prove true, is a student with specialized training and access to prescription pills is apparently selling them on the streets of our community," Hochul said. "That is something we obviously take very seriously and will continue to prosecute not only street-level dealers, but those whose employment provides them with access, whether it be at a pharmacy or as doctors. We are currently prosecuting two doctors."
North Tonawanda Dr. Matthew A. Bennett, 46, is accused of illegally writing pain medication prescriptions, sometimes in exchange for items; in one instance, a gas grill was delivered to his Clarence home.
Dr. Pravinchandra V. Mehta, a former Niagara Falls physician, allegedly issued huge numbers of painkiller prescriptions without properly examining patients, in order to profit.
Though there is no evidence Reinhardt sold drugs to children who bought ice cream from him, law enforcement officials say the investigation into his customers is continuing.
Reinhardt appeared in handcuffs before U.S. Magistrate Judge Hugh B. Scott late Thursday afternoon to answer a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, which carries a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years.
Reinhardt requested a court-appointed attorney, claiming he cannot afford to hire a lawyer on his $150-a-week salary at Rite Aid or from his Amazon Internet business, which brings in between $100 to $300 a week.
Reinhardt explained to the judge he rooms with another pharmacy student in a leased apartment and has no assets.
Scott, after repeatedly asking if he was certain he had no assets, appointed attorney Larry Desiderio to represent him.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Alsup and federal probation officials asked that if Reinhardt was released on bail, he be required to receive counseling and a mental health assessment.
Scott allowed Reinhardt to be released on a $5,000 signature bond and ordered him to undergo the assessment and stay away from alcohol and drugs.
Indications that Reinhardt may have a substance abuse problem were discovered during the course of the probe, according to authorities.
How he obtained the prescription pain medications for illegal sales, officials said, remains under investigation.
"We will be working with management at the Rite Aid store to determine if there was any theft of pharmaceuticals from the store," Kasprzyk said.
Hochul said that clamping down on abuse of prescription pain medicine is a huge challenge for area law enforcement as more and more people overdose on those medications.
"We see all sorts of statistics and real-life examples of people succumbing to prescription pill abuse and moreover, at the national level, overdoses on prescription pain pills have surpassed cocaine and heroin combined," he said.
Outside the courtroom, Reinhardt was asked what type of Internet business he runs.
"I really have no comment," he said.
He is due back in court Dec. 4.

The walk to the restaurant was under the cover of trees, a rare sight in the sprawling concrete jungle of Tokyo. Upon arriving, we were asked to take off our shoes and an old lady in a kimono lead us up a narrow flight of stairs to a room on the third floor. Here, two low tables ran along either side of the room, with a third, perpendicular table at the far end reserved for five special guests. We were seated, plastered with copious amounts of sake and told to tuck into a traditional Japanese starter. With our rumbling stomachs silenced, Team Ninja made their entrance, taking their seats at the end of the room. "Tonight," we were told, "you are part of the Team Ninja family." A heart warming sentiment. We chinked glasses, shouting the Japanese equivalent of cheers - 'Kampai'.
"Team Ninja has been through a storm these last several years", continued Yousuke Hayashi, the Head of the studio "We've come through that storm now though, and grown with those experiences into the studio that we are today. I've been with Team Ninja for ten years, and I can say with all conviction, that this is the strongest Team Ninja that it has ever been". Bold words from the man stepping into the shoes of Tomonobu Itagaki, but knowing the announcements that would come over the course of the evening, he beamed with confidence. Before bringing out the main course (or courses, I should say – there were about eight of them), Hayashi took the time to introduce several of the studio's new projects.
First up was a game called Ni-oh; a project that's been desperately trying to get off the ground since TGS 2006. Described as a Samurai action game, Ni-Oh is a collaboration between Team Ninja and Tecmo Koei's Kou Shibusawa. Other than announcing that Team Ninja are now in charge of the project, however, little else was revealed about the game. Hayashi quickly moved on, turning the ante up with revelations about a more familiar franchise; Dead or Alive. Dead or Alive on the 3DS – which was known about prior to this particular evening – will be known as Dead or Alive: Dimensions, and will be amongst the first fighting titles to grace to the hardware.
A break in Hayashi's speech allowed a quartet of kimino-wearing waitresses to bring round the first of our exotic main courses. Whilst I chowed down eel, raw tuna and tempura, I got chatting to program lead Yasunori Sakuda, who had joined our table for dinner. Rather than calling him by his real name, I used the rather affectionate alternative by which he's known around the studio: The Snowman. He explains that this is because he was responsible for creating the snow stage in Dead or Alive 3, and the name has stuck ever since. DOA3 was in fact The Snowman's first project with Team Ninja, after he joined exactly ten years ago.
Unsurprisingly, dinner conversation revolved around Dead or Alive, specifically the 3D offering that will be arriving on Nintendo's new handheld in the near future. Hayashi had described the project as being a 'reboot' for the franchise, a comment I decided to probe further. "The DOA series is renowned for its lovely ladies and their big breasts," I said, nervously awaiting a reaction. "Will the reboot tone that down at all? A lot of players are put off by it all..."
"Reboot has a broad definition," came the reply. "In terms of DOA: Dimensions, for me personally, I think there are some core factors that we would like to include. Really, we're going back to the original DOA, and walking players through the experiences of DOA1, 2, 3 and 4. If the users that are looking forward to DOA:D are looking for a toned down sex factor, then perhaps it's something we should take a closer look at. For me personally, I don't think it's about toning it down and then calling that a reboot. There are other elements that keep DOA DOA, and for this particular project – Dimensions, it doesn't seem that toning the sex factor is the thing that will kick off the reboot. So maybe a different project other than what Hayashi said will be committed to rebooting the Dead or Alive franchise."

Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile ReviewSamsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile 8.5
T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S II is about to embark on its own journey, as it aims to reign supreme over T-Mobile's lineup. Employing a new processor under the hood and a slightly higher $229.99 on-contract price than its siblings, will it still be able to impress after we've seen two great offerings from Sprint and AT&T already? Well, T-Mobile customers are surely hoping that's the case with this one.
Sharing a similar design footprint to the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G Touch, with its size, dimensions, and weight, T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S II is every bit the same appealing handset that we love. Plastic in nature, it's lightweight for its size, but we truly like its rubbery textured back cover that keeps it looking clean at all times. However, it's your conventional looking smartphone slate.
You can compare the T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S II with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.
Above all, its 4.52" WVGA Super AMOLED Plus display continues to impress us with its wide viewing angles, high-contrast looks, and vibrant color production. Even though it's sufficient for most things, its resolution is clearly beginning to show its age – and it's especially evident with web browsing!
Around its sides, we find its volume rocker, power button, 3.5 mm headset jack, noise cancellation microphone, standard microphone, and a microUSB port – with the latter, you gain video-out functionality with the use of an MHL adapter. Around the back, it features an 8-megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash and notches for its speaker. Meanwhile, pulling off the back cover reveals its beefy 1,850 mAh battery, SIM card slot, and microSD card slot.

S3.. makes me cry every time i think about how Tmobile pulled the bait n switch on all those people waiting for an SGS2
8. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
The video review shows lagginess. Benchmarks show otherwise... why???
12. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
benchmarks are not a true indicator of real world performance. Snapdragon's are notoriously easy to mess with when it comes to Quadrant Benchmarks, so my guess is Samsung messed with them a bit so it would squelch some people's fears of the under performing S3 processor.
It will be fine for 90% of the people out there, but tech heads like me and people that want that buttery smoothness will see the difference right away.
13. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Also, touchwiz has been optimized for Exynos. So a few updates might help it out immensely. However, I dont expect samsung to be putting too much update weight behind this version of the SGS2 since 90% of the rest of the world is getting the exynos version. Love it out of the box or dont buy it.
33. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
So this is the worst??
17. Ivan6479 (Posts: 249; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Damn what's up with people giving you a thumbs down? You are only speaking the truth. It was pretty dirty of T-mobile to pull that crap on their customers especially seeing how they were the last ones to get the device. Oh well thank goodness I'm with At&t because I am loving my SGS2 with my Exynos processor. :)

Buy this today or wait for the nexus prime??? I'm so tired of waiting...
4. Rooney (unregistered)
Let 's buy it. Nexus Prime is just a trial on Ice Cream Sandwich OS, nothing special, camera is just 5MP. Nex Prime like nexus one andnexus S just the trial and expiriments of new Rom. The others device will be update soon after
5. willardcw4 (Posts: 169; Member since: 01 Oct 2011)
Don't pretend to know the specs on the Nexus Prime. They haven't been announced. It could be a 13MP camera for all we know.
7. KEVlN (Posts: 83; Member since: 19 Aug 2011)
The MP count doesn't mean much. It might just have a 5MP camera but the sensor could produce results better than the SGSII's 8MP camera. Sure SGSII might get ICS sometime but I can assure you it will not be soon. Of all the manufacturers, Samsung has been known to keep their consumers waiting the longest. It took forever for the original SGS (vibrant) to get updated from android 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo and by the time they released froyo to the public (which wasn't OTA but through Samsung's proprietary software), android 2,3 gingerbread was out and being pushed to other phones. So if history repeats itself and your anticipating an update for ICS on the SGSII, you can say bye bye to that dream now.

in the US it gets update late because of your carriers...in the UK galaxy series have been getting updates quicker than everyone else

6. KEVlN (Posts: 83; Member since: 19 Aug 2011)
I'd wait for the prime. You can't really go wrong with either but If you want vanilla android go Prime... If you want a user friendly-ish UI go SGSII. The SGSII is still the best phone on the market and Verizon is rumored to have exclusivity over the Prime so you might have a longer wait than you expected if your going with T-Mobile.

No points on the upgraded data speeds? Seems like they should have just kept the exynos processor.
14. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
exactly. real world speeds are in the teens most of the time regardless of if its capable of 21mb/s or 42mb/s. they dropped 25%+ power to have an advertising gimick. ugh.
21. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
It makes be wonder why Verizon didn't do something similar. If the Exynos processor isn't capable with LTE, why didn't they do something like this? I mean sure it sucks it has a snapdragon processor and all but its better than not having it at all.
25. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
i suppose it was a risk to them with so many other high-end devices coming out. Verizon will be offering the best from HTC, Samsung & Motorola here in a couple of months and they already have the reputation of having the worst Galaxy S phones and besides i think Samsung is more pleased with Droid branding considering how successful the Droid Charge is even at a $299.99 price point..

i really don't get y stupid Tmobile decided to put the snapdragon S3 instead of blazing fast exynos if theres no point on the upgraded data speeds (i use sensation 4g which is 24mbps and it's fast enough for me)?? so so so disappointed... well i guess i'm gonna go with Nexus Prime (if it has the sd card slot) stupid tmobile... so stupid

What are the 3G bands on this phone? Will it work in India which requires a 1900/2100 band?
I dont know why Tmobile is messing with a proven phone. They should have stuck with the smaller screen and the samsung processor. They just wanted to have a marketable phone and as most marketing just bumped up specs without adding much substance! The phone seems a bit too large and the processor hasn't added any real gains and to make it worse I dont think it has the global 3G band as well.
18. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Typical PA ignorance at its finest. Bawww, it doesn't have the monster processor from the Sprint version, so we'll give it a crap review. Average guy isn't going to notice a difference. But kudos for leaving off Samsungs crappy design which plagues the Sprint version of dropped calls and data failure. This review is ignorant. Course why should I care? I prefer the superior iphone.
20. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
I easily noticed the difference between this and the other SGS2 devices, you don't have to look hard.
Sure unless you have already used one or have it side by side you are correct it still out performs any other android phone but in the end they should have kept the exynos processor and left the price at 199.
Unless you are in a very strong 4G t mobile area you won't be able to benefit from the faster data speeds but no matter what connection you are on. Wifi, 4G, or 3G you'll always notice and appreciate the better processor that the exynos brings.
26. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
without Exynos the Droid Bionic is probably the better choice.

29. boogiman (unregistered)
Seriously.... Give a bad review because it doesn't have the almight Exynos processor....Give me a break. So this phone doesn't live up to the hype for you fanboi's. So freakin what if it doesn't live up to your hype. Keep using your Loss of service sprint version of the galaxy and the oh so smaller screen on the at&t version and be happy. No one cares if you don't like that this has a different processor. Keep it moving and go enjoy trying to find 3g service with sprints crappy service. Oh lets not forget that the 4g phone you have with sprint is not going to even get the aging wimax that you were promised. I would take this phone over sprints crap service and at&t's ridiculous prices.. Dueces...
30. Rick (unregistered)
This is why I left T-Mobile after 6 years and went to AT&T FOR THEIR GALAXY S2, AND BECAUSE I get 3g on my Omnia 7 now instead of just edge. I hated to leave but I see no reason to pay more for a phone that is not better but in fact less than another of the same brand on at&t or sprint.
31. saar (unregistered)
Does someone know ever can I buy this phone's battery?
It's 1850 Mah battery that can also be place in the "Original" SGS2.
32. SprintPower (Posts: 74; Member since: 29 Dec 2008)
Funny how they forgot to mention Sprint's complete lack of 4G when saying they prefer the Sprint version. Not only that, but Sprint even says it will be late 2013 before they pull their heads out of their asses. Guess I need to change my handle. Just dumped Sprint for T-Mo to grab up this beauty. And I'll finally get to experience 4G. Anyone want to buy a Sprint EVO 4G?
35. treo...not! (unregistered)
Who writes these reviews?!
"If you are strongly devoted to the Galaxy S II idea, and switching the carrier is not a problem for you, you'll surely want to know that T-Mobile's version IS BY FAR THE LEAST favorable option on our list. Taking into account its higher $229.99 price point and not as buttery smooth performance, Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G Touch is looking A TEENY BIT BETTER."
Which one is it?

The thing is was it worth it for a weaker cpu, gpu or a cpu,gpu that isnt as good with Touchwiz?
21Mbps that the Exynos is capped at is probably faster than most get with home ISP's and if ppl could actually hit 21Mbps down consistently thats more than fast enough for a phone.
IMO T Mobile shoulda went with the Exynos.

One of the most cruel things you can do to a person, or rather, their toilet. The TankJob can only be pulled off on a toilet that has a tank on the back (many commercial grade toilets don't have one, thus are not an option). To complete it, you must remove the lid of the tank, and crap directly into it (the source of the clean water when the toilet is flushed). A particularly messy crap is best, however, if you have the balls to pull this off, ANY crap will do. Toilet paper NEVER makes it's way into the tank during the process... it ALWAYS is to be placed in the toilet bowl, where it belongs.
Ripped up on free beer at his cousin Steve's wedding, Glen decides that the country club it's being held at REALLY needs a TankJob. It's a hard choice between that and pooping on the practice putting green (which is lit and in full view of the dining room), but the club ultimately receives the TankJob.

What with all the clothing brands that have launched bicycles over the past couple of years I figured it was time to try one. And there was one, in particular, that I really, really wanted to try out.
Iconic American clothing company Gant have been doing East Coast prep since 1949 and when they decided to launch a bicycle, they did so in style. To roll in harmony with their Rugger clothing line, they chose to launch the Gant Rugger City Bike and went for a walk down memory lane to choose the style and form. The result is a retro dream that looks like almost every gentlemens' bicycle back in the 1920's and 1930's. Just have a look at the bicycles in this newspaper cartoon from Copenhagen, 1938 to see how mainstream this design used to be.
In order to get a real sense of the bicycle I did what I like to do. Ride it for a couple of weeks. I quickly dubbed it my café bicycle. Perfect for summer in Copenhagen and heading off to meetings at Bang & Jensen café or locations in the city centre. I took off the fenders because I like the look of it with those big balloon tires as bookends to the black, mat frame. They'll come on again when autumn arrives.
The bike is a real headturner - a Cycle Chic prerequisite of course - and as recently as this morning when heading out of a supermarket a chap nodded approvingly and said, "that's a fine bicycle!". Such is life riding this bike around Copenhagen. People comment on it all over the city. Young hipsters, elderly ladies and everyone inbetween.
One fine little detail is that the bike is numbered, like any other piece of artwork. I acquired number 593 out of 648. Sure, number 001 would be cooler, but it's still a cool gimmick having a numbered bicycle.
Just parking it on the sidewalk to take photos of it draws glances from people cycling past.
Riding it about the city gives me a retro rush. A direct, aesthetic connection to a pre-war Copenhagen when the bicycle reigned supreme. Like in this travelogue from 1937 in Copenhagen. It's a cool, easy ride and the balloon tires are brilliant for city life. It's a one-speed perfectly adjusted for every urban speed. Not too fast, not too slow. Just right.
The Gant Rugger is perfect for modern urban living and compliments any shopfront - whether tragically hip or refreshingly rundown.
The little bag that accompanies the bicycle contains an extra pair of Brooks handlebar grips should you fancy another style, a bottle of paint for fixing scratches, black tools to match the bicycle, a white reflector ready to mount, care instructions for the Brooks saddle and grips as well as an 'instruction manual' for the bike. Don't see the latter when you buy a bicycle in Copenhagen so that was... um... interesting.
All in all, The Gant Rugger is wicked cool. Here in Denmark they retail for 7000 kroner at the Gant flagship shop on Østergade. That's $1250 USD. Although prices will certainly vary depending on where you buy the machine.
Cycle Chic approves.

Elisabetta "Lisa" Grillo and her sister, Francesca Grillo, have been charged with stealing more than $1.1 million from the high-profile former British couple in a massive personal spending spree. Their trial, which continued this week in Isleworth Crown Court, has exposed the couple's relationship woes and included allegations of domestic abuse and drug use.
Grillo said Friday under heated cross-examination that Lawson and Saatchi had been dishonest in their testimony in the case, calling them "liars," the U.K.'s Daily Record reported.
"I was part of the family, not because I was in the house or because I worked for Nigella or because they were rich. I was part of the family for 14 years," Grillo testified when asked by attorneys if she'd felt "entitled" to use a company credit card for her own needs.
The sister said she was in shock when she learned she'd been accused of stealing, noting she would never take advantage of Lawson or Saatchi. Lawson previously had told the court that the relationship with her assistants was like a sisterhood.
"I would never do that," Grillo testified. "Not to Nigella and not to Charles, especially Charles."
Alleged Sales Sprees of BooksGrillo testified that she was asked to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of Saatchi's books, taking taxis from East to West London multiple times per week in an effort to boost book sales. Others in his employ were also asked to do the same, she said.
"It was like four times a week," she said of her purchases for Saatchi, noting when challenged by attorneys that she was not exaggerating. She also noted that the couple allowed her access to credit cards to take their children on holiday and to make personal purchases if needed.
"I was allowed to take cash, everybody knew I was taking cash," she testified of the funds for holiday trips. "Nobody said I was not allowed, not Nigella, not the girls in the office. Nobody stopped me."
Attorneys scrutinized Grillo's wardrobe, noting she owned designer clothing, which included 20 dresses from Marc Jacobs and Sandro and shoes by Chanel in addition to less pricey items from stores like H&M and Primark.
Said the prosecutor to Grillo: "You accept that there has been a lot of personal expenditure, you just don't accept it was unauthorized." Grillo responded that she agreed with the statement.

Preparations are already underway for the future king of England's christening, which is set to take place in the fall, but there's a lot of speculation over who the newborn's six godparents will be – the royal family traditionally chooses three men and three women.
According to British betting firm Ladbrokes, William's brother, Prince Harry, and Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton, are the firm favorites, but the list of other contenders even includes soccer star David Beckham (at 16/1 odds)!
However, Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, tells PEOPLE that it's unlikely Becks is in the running. "There are no hard and fast rules about this but I just know the royal family has never had a celebrity as a godparent," she says.
But she does admit "there are wild cards" on the shortlist. "Godparents don't have to be your best friend. Quite often it is quite the opposite, it can be somebody quite random."
Prince William certainly has an interesting list of godparents, including Lady Susan Hussey (the Queen's lady-in-waiting), the former king of Greece, Constantine, and Sir Laurens van der Post, the explorer and writer (a close friend of William's father Prince Charles, who was 76 when William was christened).
"You choose godparents for various reasons," William's cousin, jewelry designer and mother of five India Hicks says.
"We chose one that we knew would be there if anything happened to us and be able to take over the mothering for the child, we chose one who was fascinating from a religious point of view and had a very different think on life, could teach the children a different way of looking at religion. We chose a great artist who could inspire them," she says. "I would think they wouldn't be any different from that."
Uncle Harry and Aunt Pippa seem like obvious choices, but Seward says that since they are already so closely related to the baby and will be around all the time, "there is no real need" to have them as godparents as well.
Seward's list of frontrunners includes:
Sophie Wessex, who's married to William's uncle, Prince Edward. "She is a member of the family and is quite child-oriented. I think she would be quite good as a godmother," Seward says.
Zara Tindall, William's cousin and Olympic equestrian champion, who's expecting a baby herself. "William loves Zara, so I think she might be more of a candidate than Harry," she admits.
Thomas van Straubenzee, James Meade or Hugh Van Custem, who are all friends of William's. "They are all part of their very tight-knit group."
Tiggy Legge-Bourke, who's William's former nanny. "William is godfather to one of her children [Tom, who was a pageboy at William and Kate's wedding], plus she has always been there for William and Harry."
Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece. William is the godfather to Pavlos's son, Prince Constantine, Seward explains, and Pavlov's dad, Constantine, is William's own godfather.
A member of Kate's family. "What about Kate's uncle, Gary Goldsmith? Wouldn't that be funny?" Seward jokes, adding, "Kate might want her brother, James, instead of Pippa, or there might be someone on from Kate's family that we just don't know about."
