SIERRAVILLE, Calif. - This year's Sierraville Fire and Rescue "The Patch" pumpkin festival is Saturday, Oct. 27. Attracting families from Sierra Valley, Portola, Mohawk Valley and North Tahoe/Truckee, The Patch features pumpkins, of course, as well as games and small town fun on the lawns of the Sierraville Elementary School next to Perry Creek.
"It's one of my favorite things to do," said Doug Read, Fire and Rescue volunteer and the guy who carves the pumpkins at the event. "I love putting the faces on those pumpkins for the kids. The kids tell me the kinds of faces they want me to carve, and I don't show them the carvings until I'm finished. You should see their expressions when they finally get to see the carvings."
"The Patch" Festivities begin with a 10 a.m. bake sale. "Most of the pies and cakes are made with fruit grown on trees in the front and back yards of Sierraville," said Tami McCollum, event organizer. "Our entrepreneurs' market brings together items made by food and art crafters from all over the region, from Sierra Valley to Oregon House in the foothills."
Kids can choose a pumpkin and get it carved, bob for apples, get creative a hands-on crafts table, jump around in a bouncy house, meet Sparky the fire hound, tour a real fire engine, and get their faces painted. All of that energy needs a good lunch, so barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs are also for sale.
Sierraville is in Sierra Valley, 25 miles north of Truckee on Highway 28. Proceeds fund volunteer trainings at Sierraville Fire and Rescue. Price is $5 per family for a pumpkin and games. For more information, visit facebook.com/pages/Sierraville-Pumpkin-Patch.

I don't know the NHL has some really dumb rules, kick a puck in, no goal. Kick a puck in the crease and it goes off your stick, good goal. The whole purpose is to eliminate injury so why is kicking the puck in the crease ok? The NBA has some crazy rules, but I can't think of any that directly contradict the purpose for the rule in the first place.

NEW YORK � A conservative scholar behind a high-grossing documentary that condemns President Barack Obama is under investigation by the evangelical college he leads over a report he took a woman who is not his wife to an event on Christian values.
The King�s College board announced the review the same day the conservative Christian news magazine WORLD reported event organizers had confronted Dinesh D�Souza about sharing a hotel room with a woman he introduced as his fianc�e.
D�Souza filed for divorce from his wife, Dixie D�Souza, a few days after the conference, California court records show.
The event, Truth for a New Generation, was held the weekend of Sept. 28 in South Carolina.
In a brief phone interview with The Associated Press, D�Souza, who became president of The King�s College in 2010, said he and his wife have been �living in a state of separation for two years.� He denied sharing the hotel room with the other woman.
�Obviously, I wouldn�t have introduced her as my fianc�e if I thought we were doing anything improper,� D�Souza said, adding they have called off their engagement.
The college, which was located in the Empire State Building before moving this year to lower Manhattan, aims to shape young Christians as future leaders in all sectors of society.
D�Souza is a former policy analyst under President Ronald Reagan and a prolific author known most recently for his critical works on Obama. He directed the film �2016: Obama�s America,� based on his book The Roots of Obama�s Rage.
The film was condemned by many critics, including Newsday�s Rafer Guzman, who called it an �attempt at character assassination.� But it has become one of the most successful political documentaries ever released.
The King�s College board chairman, Andy Mills, has known about D�Souza�s marital troubles for at least two years, spokesman Mark DeMoss said.
�While our board had been aware of some of these details, we were not aware of others,� the board said in a statement.
The board said it held a conference call Monday with D�Souza and plans to review the situation during its previously scheduled meetings on Wednesday and Thursday in New York.
�In the meantime,� it said, �be assured we take seriously our charge to teach a compelling worldview rooted in the Bible and expect all of our leaders to model Christian character and integrity in their public and private lives.�

Two hundred years ago at Fort George in Ontario, deafening cannons and the pop of musket fire could be heard from afar. On a recent Saturday, those same sounds came from a field outside the fort. No, the war has not started up again. It was simply the Scout Brigade of Fort George, a scouting event organized by Scouts Canada, where about 2,000 scouts from both sides of the border played re-enactment games inspired by the War of 1812.
The 2012 edition of the event was held last month, but this one was special: the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. This camp-out has been happening every third weekend in September since 1984. The American Scouts are the American soldiers, and the Canadian Scouts play the British soldiers.
The Scouts arrived on a Friday night and set up their camp, much like soldiers did 200 years ago. After they set up their tents, they hung out for a little bit but many of the Scouts turned in early, as they knew how tiring the next day would be.
On Saturday, the scouts rose at 7 a.m. sharp to convene for breakfast with other members of their troop. Following their breakfast, the Scouts gathered in their ranks and at 8:30 began to march to Fort George. The scouts always bring their own muskets from home, with caps as ammunition to create a more genuine battle scene. When they arrived at the fort, they held the Opening Ceremonies. After that was the Morning Programme, where the Scouts learned how to march and fire correctly. At around noon, the Scouts hiked back to their camp for lunch.
After lunch, many of the campers' favorite part was up next: the parade through Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"My favorite part is the parade," said Cameron Isaacs, a sophomore at Clarence High School and a member of Boy Scout Troop 27.
Cameron has been coming to the Fort George event for two years and said he really enjoys it.
The campers parade through town to a schoolyard, and then get an hour and a half of free time in the town.
After the parade, the Scouts march back to their campsites and quickly get ready for the afternoon battle in the Main Field, a large hilly area with many prickly weeds scattered throughout. The objective of the game was to capture the other team's flag, through battle maneuvers and intricate pre-battle strategy.
For Collin Palmer, this was his favorite part of the weekend.
"They're really exciting," Collin says of the battles.
Collin is also a member of Troop 27 and a sophomore at Clarence.
"This year, I got to be the colors," he said. "The colors are the flags, so if the British capture them, we lose."
Basically, the battles work like this: One team is on offense and one team is on defense. The team on offense, which happened to be the British during the first two battles, tries to capture the defending team's flag. Opponents fire their cap muskets at each other, trying to take out the other team so they can get closer to the flag, or keep intruders away. After the first two battles (in which the British were victorious), the Scouts marched back to their campsite for dinner, which consisted of roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, and beans.
The Scouts then geared up for the Fudge Shop, a tent filled with – well, that's self-explanatory. The line can have campers waiting for up to an hour for the famous fudge, with so many people wanting the delicious dessert that some people at the end of the line might not get any.
Also on Saturday night was a movie, lanyard making, patch trading and even a concert in the Main Field, which the pop of muskets and smoke had filled only three hours before.
On Sunday, Scouts woke up for breakfast at 7 a.m., and at 8:30 they formed for the march to Fort George, for the famed Battle for Fort George. This battle was the same format as Saturday. This time, instead of the American Scouts being on defense, they were attacking for the British flag.
"The battles are definitely my favorite part," says Nick Wright, another member of Troop 27 and an eighth-grader at Clarence Middle School. "It was a fierce battle."
The Americans were slightly more successful on Sunday: They split the two battles.
"A lot of the new recruits thought the weekend was very tiring, but in the end they'll always be happy they went," Nick said.
Sean Wright is a sophomore at Clarence High School.

A Calumet county man accused of driving his car into a group of motorcycle riders will stand trial.
Clinton Lovelace, 25 of Hilbert, is charged with two counts of second-degree reckless homicide by use of a vehicle under a controlled substance, five counts of second-degree reckless endangering safety, three counts of injury by use of a vehicle under a controlled substance and two counts of bail-jumping.
The Fond du Lac Reporter said Lovelace entered not guilty pleas to all the charges Friday morning in Fond du Lac County court.
The criminal complaint states that Lovelace "jerked over the center line" on Highway 151 in rural Fond du Lac County on May 31, striking ten motorcycles that were traveling in a group.
Two of the riders, Dan Winsemius and Doug Younkers of Michigan, were killed in the accident.
The criminal complaint stated that Lovelace also faces a separate bail-jumping charge in Calumet County that involves possession of drugs. It stated that syringes were found in Lovelace's pocket along with two small plastic bags and two small brown pieces of paper. An officer is quoted in the complaint as stating that the paper appeared to possibly be acid.
Lovelace faces more than 70 years in prison if convicted of the charges related to the crash.

Retail food establishments are defined as serving food directly to the consumer. These can be grocery stores, convenient stores, food pantries, fast food restaurants, fine dining establishments, schools, mobile concession stands, caterers and shelters, to name a few.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services does not perform the inspections of retail food establishments. Local health departments carry out that function. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services provides oversight, guidance, training and, when needed, enforcement support to the local health departments.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services follows the Missouri 2013 Food Code to regulate food establishment sanitation in Missouri. Many counties also have adopted the Missouri 1999 Food Code. However, a local jurisdiction may adopt a more restrictive set of rules by enacting a local ordinance. A local jurisdiction may require plan reviews, pre-opening inspections, food handlers training, permitting and fees to open a food establishment. It is a good idea to contact the local health department in the county or city in which you would like to do business before opening a retail food establishment.

A fun outing to a Canadian indoor bounce house sparked a business idea for Tim and Barbara Wood.
"We thought we could do a similar concept here," said Tim Wood. "So we took insanity pills and started a business."
After 11 years and two locations, their move wasn't so crazy after all.
"Overall things have gone well for us," he said.
The Woods are the owners and operators of Bounce Magic, a popular indoor play and party facility with locations in the Southtowns and Northtowns. Their customers hail from all over Western New York and as far as Rochester. And between their two facilities, they employ 30 part-time workers.
Even in a down economy, they still book 30 birthday parties a week. They opened their new Northtowns location in Amherst – a 20,000-square-foot facility with 11 inflatable apparatus – on Maple Road last week.
The Southtowns couple attributes their success to their balanced relationship and building their business around the needs of the community.
"We understand our community, and we've tried to make it a friendly, affordable place for families," Barbara Wood said. "We encourage adults to let loose and play with their kids."
A West Seneca native who once ran a painting and interior decorating business, Barbara Wood brings creativity and a focus on safety and cleanliness to the business.
"I approach the business from a mom's point of view. Is it clean? Is it safe? Is it affordable?" she said.
And Tim Wood, an Ontario native and former owner of a production and lighting business, handles back office matters, like paying the bills and overall management.
"You have to have a good partnership," Tim Wood said. "My wife and I have completely different skill sets so we complement each other, so there's no stepping on toes."
In 2002, the Woods opened their first location – a 10,000-square-foot building with five inflatables and other games and play areas – on Southwestern Boulevard in Orchard Park.
Today, an all-day pass for the inflatable attractions is $10 per child in Orchard Park and $12 in Amherst. Adults can accompany children for free.
With an affordable ticket price and a popular birthday package, business took off for the couple. Parents from other communities started requesting a closer location. So in 2009, the couple embarked on second location.
"We saw an opportunity to expand on what we knew was a good deal; things were going really well in the Southtowns," Tim Wood said.
The couple leased space in the Boulevard Mall area and began a successful Northtowns operation. But last year, they lost their lease and had to close. However, the demand was still strong in the Northtowns; they were booked for parties up to closing day, Tim Wood said. So they started looking for a new location. They reopened at 4090 Maple Road, the former site of Linens N' Things, a half-mile from their former Niagara Falls Boulevard location.
"Being so close to our old location is a big asset; we're in the same demographics," he said. "We know people are going to come."
In addition to the popular bouncing apparatus, the new facility offers miniature golf, a rock wall and interactive basketball and soccer games.
When parents can't afford vacations to Disney World, they turn to cheaper options like Bounce Magic, Tim Wood said. Also, encouraged by the growing families they see, the Woods are confident their customer base will stay strong.
The next Bounce Magic could be in Rochester to serve customers there. The Woods are optimistic about the future, but they are cautious about further expansion and are planning for gradual growth.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Previous searches for schizophrenia-related genes have identified only weak connections, but using a new method to analyze genetic variations in families, scientists at Johns Hopkins today report on rare mutations that they say "team up" to cause the disease.
The scientists also show it's likely that individual cases are caused in part by different combinations of genetic variants.
"These results support the idea that there's no single genetic recipe for schizophrenia, but that a buildup of mutations in a pathway related to the disease—like neuregulin signaling—can be the culprit," Johns Hopkins' Dimitrios Avramopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of psychiatry at the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, said in a statement. "The results are also evidence for the current theory that schizophrenia isn't a single disease at all, but a suite of related disorders."
Dr. Avramopoulos and his colleagues first analyzed previously obtained data on 123 families with at least two affected members. Then, finding support for their initial pathway hypothesis, the scientists sequenced genes associated with neuregulin signaling in 48 patients. Writing today in Translational Psychiatry, the researchers today report that some families showed multiple neuregulin signaling-associated variants while others had none, and that patients with multiple such variants experienced more hallucinations—though less impairment—than those with fewer or no such variants.
Now, Dr. Avramopoulos et al., intend to drill down into the functional roles of the neuregulin signaling-associated variants they've identified in an effort to elucidate how they might contribute to schizophrenia.
The scientists also suggest the results point to the power of their analytical approach, which could also be applied to other common diseases that appear to have complex genetic roots, such as diabetes and heart disease.
The study, "Multiple variants aggregate in the neuregulin signaling pathway in a subset of schizophrenia patients," was published May 28 in Translational Psychiatry.

Samsung Galaxy S II vs LG Optimus 2X vs Nokia N8 vs Apple iPhone 4: Camera comparison
0. phoneArena 20 May 2011, 08:03 posted on
The smartphone universe became ripe again for camera comparisons, especially with the introduction of handsets, capable of recording Full HD 1080p video. That is why we took a few of the most popular high-end smartphones that are on the shelves, and staged a shootout...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Where is the Xperia Arc in this?? U guys had to include the iPhone but you couldn't include the Arc which easily has the best Droid snapper till date!!! This is one of the worst mixed up article I've read recently....
13. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Guys remember this is iPhoneArena. If the iPhone 4 was to take a picture & a turd came out of the lens they still would say the iPhone 4 has a good camera. My wife had a iPhone 4 & all her girlfriends had or have iPhone 4 & all unanimously say the iPhone 4 camera is such crap. They are 10 real world women not kids who hate how their children appear & how many cute candid shots of their children were ruined by the horrible iPhone 4 camera. Again this is real world usage not iPhoneArena propaganda! The N8, could never lose to the iPhone 4, the tech behind that camera is great, look it up (Google it) the iPhone 4's cheap camera can't even compare. You are right about the Xperia Arc everyone & their mothers are raving about that camera, every other website I read says it's a super camera. iPhoneArena you dropped the ball on that one also! Why can't there ever be a unbiased article when it comes to the iPhone 4 in PhoneArena.com, opps I am sorry iPhoneArena.com!
41. Kath (unregistered)
I absolutely don't agree with you. (and I'm no Apple fan at all)
But because two of my colleagues have an iPhone and I have a Samsung Galaxy S, I decided to buy a iPhone 4, just to compare.
Anyway,they both have their strengths and weaknesses but the camera on the iPhone really does a very good job!
I use the 'Pro Camera' app to improve things the standard camera app doesn't offer: Spot metering.
That's what the Galaxy S does offer out-of-the-box and I use it most of the time ;)
But after nearly a year of using my Galaxy S, I'll be switching to the SGS II in a couple of days :)
60. comnut (unregistered)
Kath: you revealed WHY you think the camera is good... you have enhanced it, unlike most using the basic one, that is why they think its awful.. finding an app is not so easy to them...
YES N8 is a great camera, but I prefer a phone with a 'quick pics' camera, not a good camera with a not so great phone & OS attached...
The N8 can be enhanced right up to super SLR compact quality with an app, but the battery life pictures stored are drastically reduced....
44. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Because the Arc would've made the iPhone 4 look like the turd that it really is.

75. Mike (unregistered)
ok i just checked out a few vids on the camera comparison on the arc and the iphone and i gotta say....... your full of crap man.. sorry but u need to research better on the stuff your talking about..
1. first off it has the worst camcorder capabilities and can even keep up with the iphone 4
2. i dont own an iphone 4 but the real lose is in the shadows...cmon is that a real argument how often are you going to compare a pros and cons to a phone thats sony. which is made by s**t compared to Apple. thats like saying xbox is better than PS3 ...it will never happen
2. Sinple (unregistered)
I wanted to say this its quite fair until it says n 8 shutter is a flaw. N 8 has a button on the screen where 1 touch, it will auto do the focus ing which do not lose to other phone in term of user interface
46. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
If iPhoneArena was too stupid to figure this out, then that just blows the credibility of their comparison out of the water. Turns out they don't know jack about mobile devices and are just the viral marketing arm of Apple, Inc.
3. Meha (unregistered)
Very biased comparison... Didn't even make sense on the first place to compare phones like N8 with other 5 and 8MP.
Didn't even mention the settings at which photos were taken, N8 has lots of operational modes and other phones must also have.
Phonearena! looks like you are only focused on increasing the number of posts these days to get the attention... Need to build some quality as well.
26. koutrelakos (Posts: 30; Member since: 17 Mar 2010)
why doesn't it make sense to compare a 12 MP to an 8 or a 5? If you understood how it worked, and not just that 12 > 8 > 5, then you'd realize that you don't make much sense yourself..
31. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
comparing the quality not the resolution
4. Eingild (Posts: 203; Member since: 19 Apr 2011)
Maybe these shots were taken on a standard point and shoot settings. N8 has natural feel to it while GS2 were a little bit off due to lack in contrast and iPhone 4 looks over saturated which might be a good deal for some people who are not really into natural colors and such. 2X's shots look rubbish and don't deserve attention at all.
5. ogbeni (unregistered)
I see that no matter how you do it, the iphone gets good praise for it's simplicity. Why don't we talk about usabily and functionality in one shot that way you will see that the most function will get better usage than just point and shoot.
45. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
How does iPhoneArena define "simplicity"?
I have an Android phone with a camera shortcut on my desktop. It takes just 1 tap to get into the camera app and another tap to shoot the picture.
How the hell does the iPhone get such fanboy praise when it does the EXACT SAME THING!!?
55. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
It's what you say exactly, iPhoneArena is "just the viral marketing arm of Apple, Inc." No one could have said it better. "I have an Android phone with a camera shortcut on my desktop. It takes just 1 tap to get into the camera app and another tap to shoot the picture", I have been doing the same for years now. "Simplicity" should not make the iPhone 4 great when all the phones do the same thing. It's a wash. Why should the iPhone 4 get bonus points for "Simplicity" only? All the phones in this comparison, (or lack there off) should get the same judgment in the "Simplicity" aspect of this obviously biased comparison!
6. Eingild (Posts: 203; Member since: 19 Apr 2011)
WTF? I just noticed. iPhone 4 got 2nd in video shots. I'm not a hater but dude, N8 uses wide angle lenses which capture a lot of detail compared to any other video cameras (even dedicated digital video cam). Clearly, PA don't have any idea what they're talking about. If you want professional performance comparisons, google it. Don't bother reading this article which I regretfully did.

PA looks more of a "News Getter" not Analysts.

Nokia N8, still imaging champion, and you can argue the best 720p recording phone on the market. I'll be keeping mine around long after I dump Nokia for an Android phone.
9. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
8mp vs 5mp again? there many phones with 8mp you could compare and would be more appreciated but adding this 5mp iPhone to the competition is not even fun, they again I wonder whats your intention with doing this?
11. armstrong4 (unregistered)
It is not the size that matters, even my nokia n82 will beat some of the phones. Mine has for example a real flash.
15. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
the problem is that we already seen iPhone compete with others using 8mp camera now why add it again? and again and again? its not that I now there are many new 5mp-8mp camera phones why aren't they included here? whats the standard to make these comparison? what a phone has to to to be here? because it doest seem to be remarks

Question, why is the filesize so small on Nokia N8. Seems like you have turned on compression on the pictures? The filesize in the pictures is more than half what it should be. The size should be the biggest because it has 12Mpixel.
Second, like always, do not put the video on youtube because it will be jerky when playing it, let us download the file and play it on VLC.

My Nokia N8 always produces shots between 1.5 and 2.5 MB, while I've seen photos from the galaxy S or the Optimus 2X vary bet. 3MP and 4.5, you have to use smth. like Camera Pro to lower the compression level, it's 5 bucks...
47. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Well, they had to rig the tests and handicap the phone so it wouldn't look too much better than the iPhone.
Good job catching this and calling out their BS, now, iPhoneArena....we await your response to rigging the tests!

17. calamazoo (unregistered)
hehe, true that, andro :-) why didn't Nokia make the N8 record with 30fps is beyond me, it could have been second in video. I hacked mine to do 30 fps and continuous focus, but the 680MHz chipset is definitely struggling with that... if I overclock, then battery suffers, you just can't win here :-)
18. bluechrism (unregistered)
OK, Added up the scores and here are the results based on rankings given - i.e 1=1 point, 4=4 points and if 2 are tied, they both get whatever rank it is. So lowest points = best.
Nokia N8 = 13 (5 first places - Detail, color, exposure, indoor, night)
Samsung Galaxy SII = 14 (3fp - detail, macro, video)
IPhone 4 = 19 (2 fp - macro, ease of use)
LG Optimus X2 = 24 (came 2nd twice - once joint 2nd on indoor, and second behind a joint first on macro, was never top)
If you add it up where joint pushes values down for the next place - i.e if 2 devices are joint first, the next would get 3 points and the last 4 (instead of 2 & 3 above)
Nokia N8 = 14
Samsung Galaxy SII = 14
IPhone 4 = 21
LG Optimus X2 = 27
So N8 and Galaxy SII are the clear winners here.

Thanks bluechrism, that's about right, it's clear from the images also :-)
22. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
thanks for saving me on the math. i was about to do the same thing.
"if you want a simplistic over saturated blur shot.. use the iphone4"!!
im sorry, but the iphone4 should not be in this comparison. Yea, last year it was relevant but cameras have moved well beyond the iphone. Wheres the Arc? That would have been a much more reasonable comparison than the frikkin iphone.
personally after lookin at the pix, id give the slight edge in like 60% of the shots to the SGS2.. just ever so slightly. The N8 produces great shots for a phone though, no doubt.
My bet on the Optimus 2x is that its the base android software more than it is the lens. Base android has never been that great at photos. A simple software update from LG could fix it up quickly.
24. jill66 (unregistered)
NOKIA N8 has the best camera (his top reputation for cameras is not a coincidence).
20. sorr932 (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 May 2011)
iPhone 4 video capture is better than Nokia N8?
you've gotta be kidding!
21. Sinple (unregistered)
iphone clearly take lousier video than n8
23. paul2 (unregistered)
2 points for reviewer:
1) As the SGS2 been reviewed by many sites now, and some have criticised the initial few seconds of video as unfocused due to delay in autofocus - it would have been useful if you could have considered that
2) I also am wondering why you omitted the SE Arc as one of the hot recently released phones, to include a 1 year old previous generation model ?
25. weirdfisher (Posts: 51; Member since: 31 Mar 2011)
After installing a patch for N8, the image file size is about 5mb.
I also get continuous af and 30fps for the HD video
The patch is free

30. marc (unregistered)
to all of you idiots still saying the 25fps on the n8 is bad what do you say about current big screen movies being shot in 24fps? and why does the the icrap win for ease of use where it doesnt even have an dedicated camera button? where the n8 got both onscreen and the camera button and didnt phonearena say in the post they'd have to give it a draw but for some reason the icraps 1st and the n8 second?and whers the SE Arc? this website should be changed to iphonearena!
49. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
FYI, FPS on the iPhone is faked, it's not 30fps, it's 15 and they just double the frames. That's right, look it up iPhoneArena, do some real research before doing your "comparisons" instead of counting the viral ad dollars Apple is paying you.
That's why the video on the iPhone sucks and shouldn't even be in this group that does true 30FPS.
32. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
Out of all the 30 comments so far not one of them have been iPhone fans. I hope you all realize who the predominant majority is here. Would've liked to have seen the Omnia 7 in this though.
56. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
Ignored once again. Hmmm...I wonder why..
33. gwerg (unregistered)
When will You compare the quality of zoom in video? It's really important feature.
34. gwerg (unregistered)
Why iPhone got first place in shooting macro? I think that orange picture of white paper is not good.
35. StylinRed (unregistered)
Let's not forget you can download a patch that will give the N8 30fps along with many other features if you so wish
36. dara (unregistered)
this is ridiculous - to say that iphone4 has better detail than optimus and equal as sgs, and then use 100% crops of 5MP with 8MP to compare!
To compare, you MUST magnify the iphone's shot frame to match that of 8MP&12MP 100% crops and then talk. -.-
37. vivek.ray (Posts: 22; Member since: 08 Apr 2011)
I dont think PhoneArena have got any technos around nowadays , they handle their phones to their PR who in return catch images and view it on screen like this :
PR 1 - "Look iPhone pics look soo good (while they're admiring its display)"
PR 2 -Look at this , saturated and deep black on my GalaxyS 2 (again they viewed on screen).
Atlast they saw N8 and Optimus , they didnt liked the looks of arc in front of iPhone so omitted it . Followed regular method of posting crops and videos and at end instead of camera test it turn out as screen test
1.Retina 2.SA2 3.AMOLED 4.LCD
hats off to PhoneArena :D , u gave ur critics a good chance :D(aint a joke :( )
38. vishu9 (Posts: 252; Member since: 03 Mar 2011)
finally..happy to see iPhone receive some bashing on PhoneArena!!...never mind if its only in the cam department....Comparisons or not my N8 can beat any freakin phone-camera's ass out there! :)
PS they really ahud have included Arc in this comparison coz from wat i hear its a real winner camera in the android segment.
39. ImLagunero (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 May 2011)
iPhoneArena n_n
40. silvercat13 (unregistered)
In the video part you have lost the fact that N8 is able to zoom on 720p videos up to 3x in an optical-like fashion thanks to the big sensor and a smart algorithm.
The other phones I guess will just crop the image, making the artifact quite clear. This would be nice to have a look into.
43. and1one (unregistered)
Man, this is one of the lousiest review I have ever read in any sites on the internet. How can you compare a freaking Apple iPhone 4 to Nokia N8-00? Or even to LG Optimus 2X and Samsung Galaxy S II? Another is others were right, where was the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc? However, none of this phones should even compare to Nokia N8-00 with its wide-angle lens 12 MP camera phone with 3x Smart zoom 720p video recording. Well, maybe Galaxy S II and Optimus 2X have both wide-angle lens when it comes to video recording, but that's just not it. It doesn't have 3x Smart zoom like Nokia N8-00 or even the stereo sound recording. Even if talks of the fluidity of the videos (30fps), what you are seeing in your everyday life is more or less compose of only 24fps (televisions or cinemas). Color rendering is must consider too when looking at those images and videos. That so sad that an Apple iPhone 4 can compare to this 8 MPs and a monster 12 MP cameraphone? iPhone 4 is not Nokia N82 that can compare to INNOV8 or C905. Because N82 has a high-quality camera with better color rendering than iPhone 4. Even Nokia 6700 classic or Sony Ericsson C905 is better than iPhone 4. Lastly, if Samsung Pixon12 or Sony Ericsson Satio cannot withstand the power of Nokia N8-00, then definitely other cameraphones out there has no authority to compare there shitty smaller sensor to Nokia N8-00. You see, N8-00 has been compared to an 18 MP DSLR camera, but surprisingly, some on the scenes I saw, a 12 MP cameraphone can beat those shots by a DSLR!

Dear writers in PhoneArena,
First of all, I'm wondering what the hell is doing iPhone 4 in such article?
Maybe bacuse you have a "i" infront of your real name? You miss a SE Arc, but put a iCrap in comparison?
Second: Can you explain how the video of iPhone 4 is better than Nokia N8? I've never seen such choppy videos with undeal colors like one on the iCrap.
Third: What is this section "Easy of use and speed"?!? iPhone 4 don't have dedicated camera key and it's rubbish and painful to make pictures, but it's easier? On N8 you've only one touch and the camera is on. What is more simple or easier of that? I don't need to "tap" anywhere.
Come on... Get lost with articles like this.

This review is so rigged. So many flaws. I was really expecting something worth reading.
I want GSMArena to have a remake of their megapixel droid shootout to exclusive to 8MP droids: SGS2, LGO2X, SEArc
N8 is exempted. iP4 is disqualified.
53. whoa (unregistered)
I'm gonna have to disagree a little here. Yes the Samsung has full HD resolution but I don't think it's using it very well. It doesn't take a professional or a trained eye to see that the videos shot on the N8 are crisper and reveal more detail than that of the Samsung. Over all I'd say a very fair review, though the iphone should never have been here, or the LG. The only real comparison could be the Samsung vs the N8 because of the Samsung's 1080p resolution. Still, I take issue with the video challenge though as I see the N8 as the clear winner. Good article though.
54. SGean (unregistered)
Thumbs up if you think PhoneArena should redo the comparison with the xperia arc in it.
57. fhfdgfdgh (unregistered)
What about the quality of zoom in video mode?
59. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
Phone Arena had to include the iphone because they might as well. Whether the iphone4 is included or not, you iphone haters would mention it anyways. So there. I say, put your money where your mouth is. The ip4 outsold all the other phones here. Meaning, the ip4 is the better phone overall. It has a very good camera. And consider that its hdr feature is not even turned on here, which I think is not fair because the other phones are used at their best settings, so why turn the iphone's hdr off?

High Point, NC -- Two Guilford County Schools posted big double-digit jumps in their end of grade test scores in the most recent school year and they did it in two very different ways.
Wiley Elementary School got $2.4 million in federal grants to help boost student performance -- and it worked. The school taught boys and girls separately, extended the school day, rewarded teachers and saw EOG proficiency jump from 52 percent, to more than 70 percent.
At Montlieu Academy, the results were equally impressive but the approach was vastly different. And the students say the secret to their success is an iPad. All 487 students got one this past year. And Montlieu's EOG proficiency skyrocketed from 59.3 percent to 72.1 percent.
But achievement isn't the only thing on the rise. Excitement and enthusiasm is at a high, too.
"You wake up every day saying, 'Oh, my gosh, [school's] boring,'" said 10-year-old Olivia McMasters. "Then you realize when you get to school, 'Oh, my gosh, I have so much to do. Oh, thank you!'"
Olivia is grateful to the people who've made going to school exciting. She and her little sister, Ryann, showed up at school Wednesday -- in the middle of the summer -- just to talk about how much they loved being here during the school year.
Why did they enjoy it so much? The technology.
"It's pretty cool!" 9-year-old Ryann McMasters said, holding her iPad.
It's easy to suggest students are just excited about playing with the gadgets. But these two say they're energized about learning now thanks to the interactivity.
"I love to wake up in the morning and just wake up to this," Olivia said of her experience at school. "It's very enjoyable."
Principal Ged O'Donnell gives the iPad its due in getting students and teachers excited about education again. But he says the improvements really boil down to a renewed sense of pride.
"Our students are told every single day that they go to the best school in Guilford County," O'Donnell said. "And if you ask any of our students at Montlieu what school do they go to, they will tell you they go to the best school in Guilford County."
There could be something to that, too. Montlieu now has a waiting list, for the first time ever. It's part magnet school, part community school. And the turnaround is even more impressive when you consider 96 percent of students there are on free and reduced lunch. The principal says it's the only elementary school in the state to make iPads available to every child.
Montlieu was able to lease all those iPads thanks to the $250,000 a year in grants it's getting over the course of three years from several local foundations and business donors. It's clear the technology is having an impact, and the Guilford County school system wants to apply those lessons to other schools.
But how can it do it that when budgets are tighter than ever?
"Our business community, our foundation community, our higher ed community [and] our non-profits have found ways to provide us resources in order for us to continue to do great work," GCS superintendent Maurice Green. "We'll continue to call on them and request of them to keep education as a top priority in our community."
Green said the system's also working with county commissioners to ensure they'll at least get the same amount of funding in coming years as they have lately.

The 5 People You Become After a Night of Drinking
So I recently planned a Google Hangout as a way of selling pre-orders for my novel, Notes from the Internet Apocalypse. But I had a secret agenda besides selling pre-orders for my novel, Notes from the Internet Apocalypse: I wanted to get drunk. With friends. And by Jove, that's just what I did! (While selling pre-orders for my novel, Notes from the Internet Apocalypse.)
For the purposes of this column, each person in this photo will represent a drunk persona. Nothing in this article should be mistaken for an actual event that actually occurred, despite me saying that these things actually occurred.
A few weeks ago, it was my privilege to play live-streaming drinking games with Cracked's own Brendan McGinley, as well as Nick Leftley, Brian Cullen, and Alli Reed. And because I'm all about killing as many birds with as few stones as possible, I made sure to be extra observant throughout the evening for things I could share with you, the lovely and talented Cracked readers. I learned a lot that night, but five things stick out the most: the five people you can become after a night of drinking.
#5. The Dude Who Changes Persona
Did you know alcohol has the ability to lower your inhibitions? Of course it does. It says so on this SADD website. Y'see, ethanol affects the central nervous system, impairing some of the judgment centers of the brain. And with lowered inhibitions, some people feel free to become some whole other person. You know what I mean. Suddenly one of your friends is a tough guy or a ladies man when he never was one before. Suddenly he's an expert explorer, barking out directions for the best route to your destination, or suddenly he's the guy who tells everyone where it's at. The friend you know has suddenly decided to become another person.
Alli: The Re-Inventer
We were halfway through the party, which was meant to be devoted to drinking, joking, and booksellin', when suddenly a brand new Alli Reed emerged. No longer was she the bright, young, witty writer we'd known from the Internet, but a sassy preteen, hellbent on turning our party into a sleepover.
"Let's play truth or dare," she giggled, suddenly wearing big, pink, fuzzy slippers.
"We're here to drink and sell books, Alli," I said, setting up a group of shots.
"UGH!" she exclaimed. "Who do you think is the cutest boy in movies? When I grow up, I'm gonna marry Devon Sawa!!!"
Nick tried to appease Alli with some fingernail painting and gossiping about boys, but you could tell his heart wasn't in it. Alli ultimately left early to write "Alli Sawa" in her spiral notebook 600 times while grooving to 98 Degrees.
Sometimes the 11-year-old inside you is only a few drinks away.
#4. The Dude Who Breaks Stuff
Did you know drinking affects your motor skills? Of course you did. You've all knocked over the potato salad at more than one party, right? Y'know, those potato salad parties that you kids all love.
Eising/Photodisc/Getty Images
You kids know how to live. In my day, we were content with Chex Mix.
Anyway, that's because alcohol affects the part of your brain called the cerebellum, which controls muscle movement. Muscle movements start as signals in the cerebral cortex but pass the medulla, where they are influenced by nerve impulses from the cerebellum. And when you're drunk, it's a bad influence. So whereas your body might be trying to send a signal that says "Put the potato salad down gently and enjoy the party," your drunk-ass cerebellum is whispering "Psst, that table is actually one foot lower and made of goo," leading your muscles to compensate accordingly -- and incorrectly. Booze makes you spazzy.
Gladstone: The Breakstuffer
Well, I may have the ability to grow a rich, luxurious beard, but alcohol affects me just like any other man. And if I drink enough, pretty soon I'll break something. Most likely your heart, because I'm dreamy, baby, but also real stuff. For example, during the night, I was truly touched that Brendan, Nick, and Alli bought me some engraved whiskey stones that spelled out "Gladstone." So touched, in fact, that I attempted to balance four stones spelling "GLAD" on top of five stones spelling "STONE." And here's the fun thing. I didn't. Here's the moment the "D" somehow fell off my drunken palm before cracking on the table:
Drunk enough to break a stone.
"That's not a true story," you say. "You can't break a stone." Maybe you're right, but my question is this: "Why weren't you skeptical about the Alli story above?"
#3. The Dude Who Fights About Food (And Everything)
When you're drinking with a group of friends, it always seems no one can agree on food. Someone wants Chinese, others say burgers, and still more insist on potato salad (or so I've been led to believe). First things first. Does alcohol make you hungry? Let's ask someone on Yahoo Answers who claims to be a doctor! According to "Dr. Mike," the carbs in alcohol cause a quick rise in blood sugar, leading to a release of insulin that sets off a chain reaction to stimulate hunger receptors. Is Dr. Mike right? He might be. Lots of things cause hunger. Things like being alive. But that doesn't answer the real question. After everyone gets hungry, why do your friends argue about where to eat? That one's simple. Your friends are dicks.
The Gentleman Bastard: Food-fighter
When the webcam portion of the night was over, we all agreed that further drinks and food were in order. (Except for Alli, who wanted to stay up watching the 1995 version of Casper over and over.) But where to go? To me, the answer was simple: the closest place with alcohol-absorbing carbs. To Nick, the answer was simple: the closest place with alcohol-absorbing carbs. Brian and Alli were also in favor of alcohol-absorbing carbs. But Brendan? No. It seems Mr. McGinley had read something disparaging about the way the closest carb-purveying establishment treated its staff, and he wasn't having it.
The face of a man simply not having it.
Yes, we managed to get Brendan into the pub that we'll call "CJ Hooligan's" (because I don't want to be sued), but we couldn't keep him down. He was demanding to see the owner, picketing up and down the bar, and eating french fries. The man was unstoppable.
Simply unstoppable.

Anderson Silva: No rematch for Belfort
Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva conducted an extended interview with the Brazilian Portuguese language site Combate, excerpted below, via Google translate.
Combate.com: You had time to digest the defeat. Today, more than a month after the fight, you think you overdid the provocations?
Anderson Silva: No. I do not think I overdid anything. The only mistake in this fight was my coach. I had to have taken a step backwards. But it is anyway. Life goes on.
Combate.com: How did you get the negative reactions of Brazilian fans? Were you surprised? You felt that people who had just hoped for a stumble your criticize you?
AS: Man, it's hard to talk. It's that thing. This is a cultural harm of Brazilians. They really believe in idols, but the frustrations deposit them. When they do not go well, want to topple the idols. But the work continues. Let's try to bring the belt back to Brazil.
Combate.com: What changes for this rematch? It will keep the whole team? If not, who goes?
There will be some changes. What happened was a necessary evil to see where those changes should be. We have to be always changing.
AS: People confuse things. Think you always have to be well prepared. Sometimes you wake up ill, with some family problem, health, and people think you always have to stop eating to take a picture.
Combate.com: The success changed the Anderson Silva at something? Harassment bother you? Do you feel tired of fame?
AS: I think that fame, success, all this comes at some point in life. It's good, important, but it gets in the way too. You lose your private life, your privacy. People confuse things – sometimes you wake up ill, with some family problem, health, and people think you always have to stop eating to take a picture. They do not understand. But I know that this is so, I know this is part of the package.
Combate.com: You received a lot of criticism because of his fighting style against Weidman. It's something you'll want to change or do exactly the same in the rematch to try to prove you're right?
AS: Nobody is right, and no one is wrong. I will not change my fighting style.
Combate.com: At 38, you think you will make ten fights that are in the contract?
AS: I intend to. We did a whole evaluation and a full schedule so I can make these ten fights. I hope I can, and preferably with victories.
Combate.com: The superfights against Jon Jones and Georges St-Pierre were discarded by Dana White after the defeat to Weidman. Is your goal now is to regain the middleweight category and move on to accumulate more title defenses?
AS: My goal now is to focus on the job to begin training camp. Then I will think about revenge, to fight Weidman well and give a show for all the fans of the UFC.
Combate.com: Cesar Gracie said that from now on we should see a more humane Anderson Silva, missing more and maybe even losing more. What do you think?
AS: I think of all the people who spoke, he was the wiser. I am a human being, I am susceptible to errors, winning or losing. It's normal. As I said, people form expectations over the idol and when this idol can not play well, people put the frustrations it.
Combate.com: Already Cesario Bezerra, who trains his boxing in XGym, gave an interview to Combate.com saying they were "three months of work thrown away", is is difficult to work in a team with so many people. How did you get this criticism of him? He goes with you on the team?
AS: I went to train in XGym when I arrived in Rio de Janeiro, because there is the gym of my master Rogério Camões, who takes care of my physical preparation. Master Cesario was there, and I began training with him. I have a great affection for him. He has a lot of experience, knows what he is talking. Think it is normal to express it. A long time the master Cesario is not my official boxing coach. The Team Nogueira coach is the (Luiz) Dorea, and mine is Edelson (Silva), who is a student of Dórea. Master Cesario is always giving opinion to have a lot of experience, and I think he is accredited for this, because I know very well.
Combate.com: People always ask to Ronaldo Jacare about a fight between you, and he always says he does not intend to face you. Now he is very well Users ranked in the category, and the duel becomes increasingly possible. Do you consider this impossible fight to happen?
AS: I'm a guy who, if I'm your friend, I'm your friend, and money or status won't matter. For me, honor is more worthy than life for me. 'Jacare' or another one, I wouldn't like to fight a friend of mine. But that's the thing. I'm in a position and I never had to take anything from anyone to get where I am today.
Combate.com: And the rematch against Vitor Belfort? He thinks that at some point it will happen eventually. And you? He also thinks it will happen one day?
AS: I think not. What was supposed to be done was done. Of course, we are employees of the UFC, but I don't like to fight against Brazilians. I don't see that possibility.
Combate: Is Anderson Silva still the best in the world? Or never was? As Anderson Silva, describe yourself today?
AS: I'm a normal guy. I'm not and never wanted to be the best in the world. People said that about me. I thank them for believing that I'm the best, but I never thought I was the best pound-for-pound. I always fought because I like it, and I was always able to do it with excellence. I was never worried about the belt. And I managed to defend it for seven years. I didn't feel relieved or something like that. It's hard. You have some pressure on you because of that, you have to keep proving yourself all the time.
Combate: You were in the movie "Até que a sorte nos separe 2". What is your role? And what are your plans for your career in this direction?
AS: I played the role of an undercover cop… I intend to continue working and studying acting in order to gain space in the field also.
Combate: And what have you done in your free time?
AS: I try to be the best I can with my family. I have my paintball, which is holy, and the game. Otherwise, it is a lot of training. Training is one thing that can not be undone.

ELBA – Two women and a teenage girl were injured in a two-car crash on Route 98 in the Genesee County town of Elba at about 8:05 p.m. Saturday.
Jessica A. Deskins, 16, was listed in stable condition Sunday in the intensive care unit of Erie County Medical Center on Sunday morning.
She was a front-seat passenger in a car driven by Ashley N. Deskins, 18, of Hall Road, Holley. Ashley Deskins was discharged after treatment in ECMC. The other driver, Gina A. Delelys, 41, of Log City Road, Elba, was discharged after treatment in United Memorial Medical Center, Batavia.
Genesee County Sheriff's Deputy Kevin R. McCarthy reported that Ashley Deskins' southbound car was traveling too fast for the snowy road conditions and crossed the center line into the path of Delelys' northbound auto. Delelys said Sunday that the impact was on the passenger side of Deskins' car, a 2000 Dodge Neon.
McCarthy reported that Deskins' car ran off the road into a field after the impact, while Delelys' car remained on the pavement. No charges have been filed.

Jeffery, graphic designer and Alvin, student
Why did you come to LACMA today?
Jeffery: I'm here visiting L.A. for six weeks from Chicago and he's just showing me some of the places I haven't been to yet.
What do you think of L.A.?
Jeffery: I like it. As I've been exploring parts of it there is the nitty-gritty and then you can wander up in the hills and see amazing architecture. I'm staying up in Silver Lake and I like the diversity of all the hills and then walking around Sunset and seeing the urban street life.

Kathy: Greece. I like antiquities and there a lot I don't know and I like history.

What's your favorite museum?
Kathy: I love the Met in New York.
John: I should just go for the obvious and say LACMA. I do live in the neighborhood and I love that it's here and I love being able to come here. I love [the Pay What You Wish program] after 5 pm and the Friday jazz—the whole deal. I think it's fantastic.

You're Invited to the Three Goats Inaugural Event
By Marcus Samuelsson | March 19, 2013
The story of Three Goats came about after Maya visited Ethiopia in November 2011 and saw the effects the famine had on the young children there. After reading about the devastation that had hit our birthplace, she flew to Addis and visited Mother Teresa's Missonaries for Charity where they advised her on the greatest area of need for clean water and food. Knowing the dangers of traveling in the region, Maya insisted on heading to Togowichale, a border town between Ethiopia and Somalia severely endangered by the famine, to hand out food, school supplies and resources to help find clean water to nearly 1,000 people in the area.
A 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization, Three Goats is dedicated to improve the health and education of children in Ethiopia by providing sustainable access to vital resources. Its main focus is to empower young women through education and provide access to clean water and nutritious food. By showing our donors a video of where their money went, we knew we couldn't stay quiet about the issues affecting the borders of Ethiopia. Our goal is to provide resources for people in hard-hit areas to have access to education, clean water and food centers for proper nutrition.

Let me begin by saying that I think most women are probably guilty of overspending on cosmetics.
Even I will swear that my $21 mascara is far superior to any drugstore alternatives.
But if you can limit yourself to just one or two high-dollar items, you can save hundreds of dollars by shopping for everything else at a drugstore or discount store.
Plus, most cosmetic lines frequently run coupons and other deals to help you save even more.
Here are some items to consider the next time you're tempted to take a trip to the makeup counter.
It's easy to get hooked on an expensive foundation because shopping for a new brand is so frustrating.
I used a high-end foundation for about two years until I finally decided to make a switch to something cheaper.
It took a few tries, but finally I ended up with Rimmel Lasting Finish 25-Hour Foundation, which is about $9 at most drugstores. I love this stuff. The shades are easy to match to your skin tone and it really does last all day.
Another product I'm trying out is BB cream, a lighter alternative to foundation. It's basically a tinted moisturizer, but with a little more coverage. I love it on days when I don't feel like wearing a full face of makeup.
One such product is L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier ($11), which works great for me. You should be able to find a $2 off coupon for L'Oreal face cosmetics in this Sunday's newspaper inserts.
Cheeks and eyes
A few years ago, my friend showed me a compact with strips of shimmery color that you can use on your cheeks and eyes.
The colors blended so well and they highlighted all the right places. It was all I could do to convince myself that it wasn't worth its $42 price tag.
Then I found the mock version by Physicians Formula, which comes in about six different shades for $13. It's been a must-have in my makeup bag for years.
As for blushes and eye shadows, I'll admit I'm pretty picky. The pigment has to be just right and I hate it when they make my face feel dried out. That's why I've been impressed with E.L.F. (eyes, lips, face) products, which you can find at Target.
The blush shades are daring and I have yet to purchase an eye shadow that I don't love. Priced at about $3, you may be able to afford a variety of shades.
I rarely invest much money in lip color because I have a bad habit of misplacing them about a week after I buy them. That's why I started using New York Cosmetics 16 Hour Lipstain. I think it works better than other more expensive versions. (Find it at Walmart for about $3).
It may take a few tries to find suitable replacements to your expensive cosmetics, but if it can save you hundreds of dollars every year, I'd say that's a risk worth taking.

How much water does it take to grow an attractive and healthy lawn? There really is no "right" answer to this question, it all depends factors such as where you live, the type of lawn you have, local climate conditions, lawn maintenance practices, and so on.
Research has shown that on average about half of the water used in a single-family home during the course of a year will be put onto the landscape. Obviously if you live in a wet climate such as the Pacific Northwest you will use less water outdoors and if you live in a hot dry climate like Southern California you will use more. But even in a wet climate, the lawn area is often the single highest user of water in the house.
How to calculate the water requirements for your lawn
If you are an intrepid irrigator and internet user it should be fairly easy to calculate the theoretical irrigation requirement for your lawn. There are two key pieces of information you need to obtain: 1) The area (in square feet) of your lawn; and 2) the evapotranspiration (ET) rate for the irrigation season in your area. Don't worry, both of these items should be fairly easy to obtain.
Lawn Area
If your lawn isn't too big you could simply go outside with a tape measure and physically measure the area. Divide the yard into a series of rectangles and triangles and sum up the areas. Recall that the area of a rectangle is the base length ´ height length. The area of a triangle is ½ ´ the base length ´ height length.
If you're not in the mood to measure your yard you can calculate the lawn area in another way. Start with the total lot size. If you only know the lot size in acres you can convert to square feet by knowing that 1 acre = 43,560 square feet. From the total lot size subtract the footprint of your house and the area of your driveway and sidewalks. If you don't know these exact areas make an educated guess. Finally, subtract any other areas on your lot that are not irrigated (swimming pools, patios, bare patches, ponds, etc.). The result will be an estimate of the lawn area at your house. This calculation is summarized below.
Evapotranspiration (ET) Rate
Evapotranspiration or ET is a measurement (usually in inches) of the amount of water required to maximize plant growth. ET can be based on a number of factors including the local temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, solar radiation, and the type of plants you are growing. Most of the ET calculations done in urban settings are for turf grass.
To find the ET rate for your area you will need to do a little searching on the world wide web. Using google or your favorite search engine simply search for "evapotranspiration" followed by your city and state. You should turn up a number of possibilities. Usually ET is calculated by a local university or weather service. It is also used frequently in agriculture.
Once you have a measurement of the annual ET rate in inches you are ready to go!
Calculate the Water Requirement for Your Lawn
Use the following equation to calculate the water requirement for your lawn:
This calculation will give you a rough estimate of the amount of water your landscape needs over the course of the entire irrigation season.

Film Review: J EDGAR
By LeAnne Lindsay
He was a mysterious figure in American history. His personal life was always shrouded in mystery … He was this bulldog figure, the face of the FBI, and he changed our country in a time of great lawlessness. Bank robbers were going from state to state becoming local heroes; he cleaned up all that mess. Got rid of the Commies and Bolshevik invasion while single handily creating this new federal police force. He was part of modern forensics and identifying everybody in our country. But then there were all those salacious rumors that you heard about him too. So it was very exciting to see somebody's (Clint Eastwood) very specific take on who J. Edgar Hoover was through these different time periods. From the beginning of his career… to the end …where he became a political dinosaur and didn't adapt to the changing of our country – Leonardo DiCaprio

MINERVA - The three Columbiana County fire departments that cover a portion of West Township are being asked to take a pay cut under a new arrangement with the Sandy Valley Joint Fire District.
Dennis Smith, president of the Hanover Township Fire Department Association, confirmed that they, along with the North Georgetown and Homeworth fire departments, are being asked to take a "significant" cut if they want to continue providing fire coverage to West Township.
"They want us to do the same job we've being doing for years but get paid less for doing it," he said.
The fire district is the result of a 2011 merger between the Minerva and Roberstville fire departments, and it also serves Paris and West townships. West Township is the only area of the four that is in Columbiana County.
Prior to creation of the fire district, the Hanover, Homeworth and North Georgetown fire departments contracted with West Township trustees to provide fire service to about 30 percent of the township. The trustees paid the fire departments $12,000 each from the proceeds of two 1-mill township fire levies.
Last year, the three fire departments began contracting directly with the new fire district to provide coverage for the same areas for the same amount of money- $12,000 per year - but a new contract has yet to be reached for 2013 as the parties continue to negotiate on a new deal.
While Smith declined to get into specifics, he said the fire district board has proposed paying the three department less due to what they believe are the small number of actual fire calls coming from West Township.
North Georgetown Fire Chief Doug Jarvis said the fire district, as one of its proposals, has suggested paying the fire departments on a per-call basis instead of a flat fee. He said this is unacceptable because the volunteer fire departments have the same operating costs, regardless of how many calls they receive.
"It's like the insurance you pay," he said of the fire contract. "You don't pay for home and car insurance after something happens. You pay for it ahead of time in case you need it."
Meanwhile, fire district voters in Minerva and Paris and West townships approved a new 4-mill operating levy last November, although the measure was rejected in West Township. West Township land owners only experienced a 2-mill increase in property taxes since they were already paying 2 mills for fire protection.
"That's one of the things we don't understand," Smith said. "They're getting double the money they have before but they're offering us less, and our expenses haven't gone down."
West Township Trustee Dale Lowmiller said the trustees agreed to join the fire district because they believed it would result in lower insurance rates for residents, improved services and help the fire departments with the cost of maintaining and replacing equipment.
Lowmiller believes the fire district should stick with the old contract. "I told them they should keep it the same, but we're out of it now. The fire district board's in charge," he said.
Meanwhile, the three Columbiana County fire departments have issued what they say is their final offer: Pay the three a combined $62,457 per year, which represents 30 percent of the $208,193 in property taxes being paid by West Township residents on the 4-mill levy. The departments were responsible for covering 30 percent of the township under the old contract.
The other option is a three-year contract under which the fire district would pay the departments $12,000 each in 2013, followed by 5 percent increases in 2014 and 2015.
"We want to work with them like we have in the past, but we just can't do it based on their last proposal," Smith said.
Speaking for North Georgetown, Jarvis said they simply cannot continue to provide the coverage without being paid at least $12,000 a year, and he believes Hanover and Homeworth are in the same financial position.
"I don't think we're being unreasonable. In fact, I know we're not being unreasonable," he said.
Sandy Creek Fire Chief Aaron Stoller declined to be interviewed for the story but sent an e-mail saying Hanover, North Georgetown and Homeworth have agreed to extend the contract until June 29.
"The fire district board is negotiating in the best interest of West Township residents and it is the practice of the board not to comment during active negotiations," Stoller wrote.

Baboobies is a word used to symbolize breasts in the style of Jenga, in the sense that you shout out the word when the tower of blocks falls.
As she was riding your cock, she falls over like a tower, at which point you exclaim "Baboobies"!
