22 UMNO Youth Divisions Acting Silly by Lodging Police Report Against Tony Pua
Selangor Umno Youth information chief Sufarizul Mustafa said the reason for the police reports were due to the MP's suggestion recently to scrap the discount for bumiputras when purchasing commercial properties and luxury homes in the state.
"The MP's suggestion can be considered insensitive and provocative in nature.
"It also challenges the Article 153 of the Federal Constitution (which safeguards the special position of Malays and bumiputra) and is an offence under the Sedition Act," said Sufarizul.
In the old school Umno's politics, Sufarizul and his division leaders are expecting to receive a pat on their back. Unfortunately, in today's political reality, Sufarizul and his division leaders are acting silly and childish.
Umno of the past was protecting poor Malay farmers and general workers. It was a voice of the downtrodden. Interestingly Sufarizul and his colleagues are now championing and protecting the rich.
Sufarizul should have taken up causes such as anti-corruption, the provision of low cost houses, employment, access to good education, crime prevention and affordable healthcare which would have direct benefit to the poor and low income Malay families.
Is Sufarizul helping or destroying Umno's credentials?
Let's find out if the police are equally silly to investigate Tony.

I was thinking as I read your posting and right at the end I am asking the same question:
Let's find out if the police are equally silly to investigate Tony.
I can add that they will investigate and try to help umno to find something to pin down on Tony.

They should go make a million police reports. They do have nothing to do, you know.
These UMNO guys should come to Taman Tun Hussein Oon Cheras and see why so many many rich malays staying in big bungalows driving big cars SHOULD NOT NEED to be given the discounts,whereas the minority non-malays mostly stay in normal double-storey terrace houses have no discount.THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS TO TAKE AWAY THESE RICHMEN'S DISCOUNT AND GIVE THEM TO THE POOR MALAYS WHO STAY IN FLATS(yes,Double discount to the poor).Don't worry the poor non-malays wont dare to touch these giveaway discount lest they get scolded by pekasa/umno for stealing their rights.
these monkeys after losing Selangor is starving without sweetheart deals. behaving like hungry lunatics.
A question I want to ask-does the constitution mentioned about this special discount for purchasing properties by bumiputras?From what I understand,the safeguardings of the bumiputra interest are in terms of business,employment,education and licenses.So,is that seditious by suggesting the abolishment of discount for bumiputra for high- end property?If the bumiputra can afford to buy the high-end property,then he should not be in the category of bumiputras that require this subsistance.
Come to think of it....
WHAT have this UMNO Youth organization done for "THEIR" own people???
Article this & article that! WHAT about their own article????????????
Aren't they "suppose" to look into their troubled youths (heaps of them), helping & getting aid for the x-treamly poor, "YOUTHS" getting pregnant & the male species getting away with it all the time, drug addicts, etc..., etc.........
There are so much for them to do. Instead they set their sights on things that that Ibrahim feller should be doing!
This Youth thingy set-up is for what? They are supposed to help & guide the youth of this generation & the next.
Don't know arr......???
Whether its one or twenty two police reports makes no difference.These divisions are just stooges.Who is behind the scene?? Your guess is as good as mine.
The matters you describe are but a microcosm of the world at large where the wealthy get richer to the detriment and shame of the poor. It is good that you highlight the obvious injustice and above all the hypocracy.
Brother paul
Please go to read this blog site'Loyar Burok' under the article"Omong Dusta 'Hak Melayu'" which is dated 5/8/2010.
In it is explained clearly that the privilege of discount for property purchase is not enshrined in article 153 of the Constitution,but it is the product of the NEP(New Economic Policy).This NEP is implemented by the previous PM in the effort to bring economic and social balance in the country.In this case,the NEP can be abolished(by the parliament if they want to).So what is so seditious in calling,just for the abolishment of special discount for high-end property purchase? Please be rational!
Those UMNO guys(Sufarizul and the gang of 22 divisions)are hot-headed!Very Irrational!
Please understand that the special discount for property purchase is the product of the NEP(which is implemented and passed by the Parliament)and nothing to do with Article 153 of the Constitution.So,to call for the abolishment of this special discount,in only for high value properties,is that so seditious?
Another bunch of racialistic, no brain, so called rights protector of the malay race idiots from UMNO. No wonder, the country is economically in a mess with foreigners and even local investors went overseas rather than waste their investment on such idiots in Bolehland.
They behave and think the whole damn world owes them a living and only they have their rights while other minority races rights have been trampled by them.

This is not silly.
Article 10 Federal Constitution
4. In imposing restrictions in the interest of the security of the Federation or any part thereof or public order under Clause (2) (a), Parliament may pass law prohibiting the questioning of any matter, right, status, position, privilege, sovereignty or prerogative established or protected by the provisions of Part III, Article 152, Article 153 or Article 181 otherwise than in relation to the implementation thereof as may be specified in such law.
and further ------>
This provision of Article 10 gave birth to the the this provision of Section 3(1) Sedition Act
(f) to question any matter, right, status, position, privilege, sovereignty or prerogative established or protected by the provisions of part III of the Federal constitution or Article 152, 153 or 181 of the Federal Constitution.
There no need for me to explain here why NEP came to be. (of which everybody knew of 13th May incident) Suffice to say without Article 153 NEP cannot be implemented. The Parliament cannot pass any policy without any specific provision of law. Thus NEP was passed by the power of the provision of Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. Without article 153 NEP would be an ultra-vires policy.
In return NEP gave birth to more rights and privileges through various laws and by-laws, regulations and rules and one of them is the bumiputra discount on the housing ownership.
Thus in this issue for Tony Pua to question the bumiputra discount meaning he is questioning the NEP of which this policy was passed by an act of Parliament empowered by the Article 153 of Federal Constitution which over and above as good as he is questioning the Article 153 of Federal Constitution itself of which is an offence under the provison of section 3 of the Sedition Act. This is the law of the land.
Therefore the police report made by these people against this Tony Pua is justified and has merit. Not Silly at all.
-- Homo Sapien of 11:38 and Cow Sense of 11:46 am
and to say NEP has nothing to do with Article 153 is wrong. Next time dont sleep during history classes.
Everything non Malays say about justice that touch on Malays is seditious! I had an accident and clearly a Malay was in a wrong and a Malay man came forward and argued for him.
These UMNO goons are downright racists that had blinded them on what is right and what is wrong. If one day a government of the day had a law which is unfair to them, then will they still protect the law? Blind fools!
To talhah,
Commom sense will tell you that the rich malays still need this 'tongkat'? Please be fair.The rich malays already achieved their economic status,by being able to buy expensive property,you still want to enjoy special discount?Every citizen of this country toiled for their living,earning their own income and pay taxes,so why should only one race(especially the rich ones)be given special treatment?
All these so-called guardians of Malays are clearly twisting issues to manipulate and make use of the mass Malays to serve their very own interest, not the latter's which they claim to fight for.
No, the latter are no blind fools. It's just that the issues have been taken out of context and manipulated by the so-called guardians to become super duper sensitive, easily agitating and influencing even the most intelligent at one time or the other, let alone the average laymen.
These people are not only guardians to the Malays, but also pretend to be champions of the Royal families and Islam, as if they're far more superior than the latter two that need their protection.
Trust me, when all these fronts are exhausted, they'll claim themselves to be the guardian of nasi lemak, lontong and satay. They'll confuse the masses further by saying that dim sum, bak kut teh and hainanese chicken rice, or that puttu mayam, capati and muruku were stolen by other races from them.
Now, back to our topic. My fellow Malay countrymen and Mr Policemen in general (rank & file), let's all be frank and honest:
- Are you all well-off or still struggling to make ends meet daily?
- Do you deserve a better life after 53 years of special privileges being accorded to you?
- What and where went wrong? Where have all the wealth and resources of the country allocated to you gone to after 53 years, if not you?
- Why many of those so-called guardians drive luxury cars and live in expensive houses and mansions, but not you?
- Why many of those so-called guardians live a life of luxury, get to eat at high-end restaurants daily, wear designers' clothing and travel around the world as much as they like, but not you?
You don't need to answer me. Just answer to yourself and see if it's worth being continuously manipulated by your guardians for the next 50 years or so!!!
- Geronimo said...
All I can say is, empty barrels make the most noise.
It's pathetic to read that the rich warlords still insist it's their birthright to discounts without thinking to pass these small discounts to their fellow poor malays (sigh)who will remian poor generations to come..
just look at the amount of energy, aims and direction. UMNO is just talking about race, religion and bring in the royalty. Is this what malaysia is heading? Cambodia and Vietnam is chasing Malaysia up in the standrad of living and deucation. China has passed away ahead of us. In the 60s and 70s, We can look how they wear baggy unisex worker uniform and riding the only bicycles. Now they have fast trains and helping to build the Bakun Dam.

"We're trending above NASCAR and the Oscars on Twitter," crows auctioneer Fritz Hatton, as he opens the 17th Premiere Napa Valley trade barrel auction with sharp bangs of his gavel.
Everyone cheers, primed to bid big on cabernet after a week of wooing by vintners at tastings and parties. The wildest event was Raymond Vineyards' "Napa Gras," where a woman in long black gloves and abbreviated gold body suit poured wine while hanging upside down.
Napa's annual February event serves as a barometer of demand for expensive Napa cabs.
The 211 one-of-a-kind, not-yet-bottled cuvees offered in five-, 10- or 20-case lots represent each winery's best of the best. Most are cabernets from the 2011 vintage, so the preauction tastings provide a gauge to the year's overall quality and an opportunity to scout out the valley's hot new names.
The big room at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena is crowded with rowdy retailers, restaurateurs, importers, distributors and media from 39 states and nine countries.
Ichizo Nakagawa, owner of Tokyo's Nakagawa Wine Co., which specializes in California wine, is sporting a bright orange jacket and shirt with a wild striped tie and a golfer's tan.
His son Sei, a former bond trader who is now company president, keeps an eye on the spreadsheet open on his white laptop and the auction catalog.
Nakagawa, who used to design golf courses and run the family lumber business, sampled his first California wine in the 1970s and started his wine business in 1985.
"Once I tasted Ridge Vineyards cabernet I stopped drinking Chateau Latour," Nakagawa says, as his son translates. "I perceived huge potential for California wine in the Japanese market. It's a useful tool for networking. You can drink it without food."
Immortalized at home as a California wine expert in the influential Japanese wine manga series "Drops of God" (Kami no Shizuku), Nakagawa is equally famous in Napa.
His winning $125,000 bid in 2011 for five cases of 2009 Scarecrow, the highest-ever bid at Premiere, drew a standing ovation and a flood of emails from buyers. That's $2,083 a bottle, more than a 2009 Chateau Lafite costs today.
"High-end Japanese people want rare California wines they can't purchase easily," he says.
So do Americans. Robert Trone, co-owner of Total Wine & More, an independent wine retailer with 89 superstores, paid $75,000 for the most expensive lot, 10 cases of the luscious 2011 "We Will Rock You" cabernet blend from Bevan Cellars and Chateau Boswell Winery. He also splashed out $50,000 for five cases ($833 a bottle) of tannic, powerful 2011 Shafer Sunspot Vineyard cabernet, produced from the tiny parcel of land that also provides the heart of their cult cab Hillside Select.
"It's for a good cause," Trone says, with a grin. Auction proceeds help fund the Napa Valley Vintners association.
Nakagawa is more cautious. "This year is complicated," he says. "2011 is not the greatest year. 2012 is better." Still, he bought five cases of plush 2011 Revana Family Vineyard Premier Cuvee cabernet (one of my top wines) for $15,000 and another five of spicy 2011 Lewis Cellars cabernet for $26,000, among other lots.
Like most auction buyers here, Nakagawa has commissions from customers for specific lots; the rest of his purchases will fatten his inventory.
I was more impressed than I expected with the 2011 vintage, a year vintners spin as "challenging," due to heavy rains right before harvest. Winemakers who picked early or managed to prevent mildew and rot, made delicious wines that have lovely, juicy fruit, bright acidity and aren't buried under the high alcohol that often plagues Napa cabs. On the other hand, many wineries failed to get it right.
My top picks among these 2011s include the complex earth-and-cherry 2011 Corison Winery Premiere Reserve; the bright, rich, cassis-flecked 2011 Kapcsandy Family Winery cabernet; a dark, intense 2011 Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery cabernet; silky-textured 2011 Notre Vin winery's "One Hundred Vines" cabernet; and the concentrated, plummy 2011 Continuum Estate cab blend.
I also made some new impressive discoveries: the supple, elegant 2011 St. Helena Winery cabernet sauvignon, just its second vintage; a pure, violet-scented 2011 Detert Family Vineyards cabernet franc, made from 60-year-old vines; and the ripe, opulent 2011 Patel Tourmaline Vineyard cabernet.
Tracking down Premiere wines outside the auction used to be tough, though now the Napa Valley Vintners posts on its website the names of the winning bidders for each lot. Now may be a good time to contact them if you want to buy before the Dow climbs any higher.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Buffalo Sabres were too careless with and without the puck to keep up with Carolina. They have their first loss to prove it.
"We made some ill-advised decisions, and a lot of different guys, too," coach Lindy Ruff said after a 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
It seemed everyone from captain Jason Pominville to 18-year-old rookie Mikhail Grigorenko had moments to forget Thursday night, and it led to a game to forget. Carolina, which totaled just one goal during its opening two losses, repeatedly ran away from the Sabres as the typically loud crowd in PNC Arena roared.
"It wasn't our best game," Sabres center Tyler Ennis said. "We didn't do the right things with the puck. I was guilty of that, for sure. It was tough. We've got to bounce back and be better."
The Sabres get an immediate chance at redemption. The teams meet at 7 tonight in First Niagara Center.
Carolina captain Eric Staal scored three times and former Rookie of the Year Jeff Skinner added two to propel the Hurricanes. They offset the now-expected contributions of Thomas Vanek, Pominville and Cody Hodgson, who combined for three goals and two assists and have reached the score sheet in every game.
That line was hardly immune from mistakes, though, as it was on the ice for five of Carolina's six goals.
"They made some great plays and have done the bulk of our scoring," Ruff said, "but at the same time they were on for quite a few."
After a scoreless first period, the teams kept the scoreboard operator busy with a six-pack in the second. Carolina scored four times, including the final two in just nine seconds after Buffalo tied the game.
"It's just unfortunate that it happens when we battle back," Pominville said.
Skinner opened the scoring 1:02 into the period. The Hurricanes' short-handed unit doubled the lead three minutes later, stealing a pass from Pominville. Defenseman Justin Faulk bolted out of his zone along the right wall to start a three-on-one. He got all the way to the faceoff dot in Buffalo's end and fired a slap shot between the pads of Jhonas Enroth, who finished with 32 saves in his first start of the season.
"I'm very disappointed in myself," said Enroth, who is winless in 12 decisions dating to Nov. 26, 2011. "I felt a little bit lost. I wasn't really in the right position on a couple of shots."
The Sabres answered with a pair of goals midway through the period. Hodgson made it 2-1 with 11:11 left. Pominville tied it with 9:21 to go while horizontal in the slot as he reached out his stick while falling to deflect Christian Ehrhoff's point shot.
The tie was short-lived. Carolina's two-goal flurry left Buffalo and its top two centers reeling.
Skinner stole the puck from Hodgson behind the net and skated out front to tuck it home before Enroth could react to the turnover. While the red-clad crowd of 18,081 was still roaring, Staal beat Ennis on the center-ice faceoff and got behind the center to accept a breakaway pass by defenseman Jamie McBain.
"They capitalized on what we gave them," Hodgson said.
The Sabres clawed back again with 6:06 gone in the third as Vanek continued his MVP performance. The winger skated through the slot and dished a no-look backhand pass onto the tape of the driving Pominville, who pointed with glee at Vanek after the easy goal.
That was the last time Buffalo smiled. Staal went top shelf with a cross-ice pass with 10:34 to play, then added an empty-net goal with 1:28 to go to bring hats from the crowd 18,081.
Grigorenko played just 2:19 in the second period after a shaky first. He finished with a shot and a giveaway in 11:47.
"We didn't do the right things with the puck against a desperate team," said Ennis, who is one of eight forwards without a goal while Pominville, Hodgson and Vanek have eight of the Sabres' 10 tallies so far. "It's frustrating. They did everything they could offensively to get us the win. We need some secondary scoring, so our line's overdue. We need to have a good one."

WASHINGTON Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Sunday he is willing to violate Grover Norquists Taxpayer Protection Pledge to strike a deal with Democrats over the so-called fiscal cliff, while a second Republican, Rep. Peter King of New York, echoed the assessment of Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., who said last week that Norquists pledge might be outdated.
I agree with Grover. We shouldnt raise rates, but I think Grover is wrong when it comes to we cant cap deductions and buy down debt, Graham said on ABCs This Week With George Stephanopoulos. What do you do with the money? I want to buy down debt and cut rates to create jobs, but I will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country, only if Democrats will do entitlement reform.
While Graham said he is open to capping deductions to raise revenues, he made clear that he remains opposed to raising tax rates on the wealthiest Americans, something President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats have been pushing for as part of a deal.
I will not raise tax rates to do it. I will cap deductions, Graham said. If you cap deductions around the $30,000, $40,000 range, you can raise $1 trillion in revenue, and the people who lose their deductions are the upper-income Americans.
Norquist, who founded the influential group Americans For Tax Reform, strictly opposes tax increases, even during the fiscal cliff negotiations. Graham had previously signed on to the pledge not to raise taxes put forth by Norquist.
Last week, Chambliss drew attention when said he was willing to buck Norquists pledge.
I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge, Chambliss told WMAZ TV of Macon, Ga. If we do it his way then well continue in debt, and I just have a disagreement with him about that.
King, who has also signed the pledge, echoed Chambliss assessment as he argued that changing times and a different economic climate justify a new approach. The New York congressman said that while he opposes tax increases, he does not advocate taking ironclad positions during the negotiations between Democrats and Republicans on the nations fiscal issues.
I agree entirely with Saxby Chambliss. A pledge you signed 20 years ago, 18 years ago, is for that Congress, King said on NBCs Meet The Press.

As a boy, Jairus Byrd was always curious about big things. His mother, Marilyn, will never forget the day he asked about the size of the family swimming pool.
She provided the pertinent details.
"Well," little Jairus replied, "mine is going to be 10 times as big!"
Sometime soon, Byrd will be able to afford the biggest pool he can find. He can buy the company if he likes. The Bills' free safety has completed his rookie contract, and he is in line for a big raise that will make him among the highest-paid players at his position, and a very wealthy young man.
The question is whether that rich new deal will come from the Bills, who picked him in the second round of the 2009 draft. The Bills have slapped a one-year, $6.9 million, non-exclusive franchise tag on Byrd.
Byrd has not signed it. He wants a long-term deal commensurate with the top-paid safeties in the NFL. Under the non-exclusive tag, he can entertain offers from other teams. In that unlikely event, the Bills have the right to match or let him go and take two first-round picks as compensation.
So Byrd sits and waits. He was the only veteran who skipped the recent "voluntary" minicamp.
Before the draft, General Manager Buddy Nix said he hadn't given Byrd much thought, though he wanted to sign him to a long-term deal and expects him in training camp. But Nix also said "the ball's in his court."
Byrd's agent is Eugene Parker, whose unbending demands got Jason Peters traded from Buffalo four years ago. You can bet Parker wants Byrd to get top market value and will urge him to stand his ground – even if it means holding out of training camp or, in the worst case, sitting out the start of the season.
The Bills shouldn't let it come to that. I'm not privy to negotiations, but it would be imprudent to play hardball with Byrd and risk alienating one of the top players and good guys on the team. It's only May, but drafting safeties in consecutive rounds was a troubling sign that this could get ugly.
Why go to the mat with one of the few legitimate stars on your team? Go ahead, name the stars on the Bills. C.J. Spiller. Mario Williams, maybe. The list runs out fast, eh? When you're trying to keep the affections of a dubious fan base, you celebrate your stars. You don't go to war with them.
Here's a quiz question: Going back to the 2002 draft (the first with Tom Modrak running the show), how many players have the Bills drafted who were voted to the Pro Bowl as position players?
The answer is one.
Byrd was voted to the AFC team as a rookie in 2009. That's it. One guy in 11 drafts. Amazing. Other players were added as alternates (Spiller, Marshawn Lynch), or as special teamers (Terrence McGee).
So it's not as if the Bills have been showering cash on their draft picks over the last decade or so. Yes, they've paid for production at times. They gave big extensions to Kyle Williams, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Stevie Johnson. They gave Leodis McKelvin an overly generous four-year, $20 million deal a few months back.
But Byrd is one of the top players in the NFL at his position, a gifted playmaker who was the most consistent player on a weak defense. Byrd led the Bills with five interceptions and was fourth in tackles. On a better team, he would have made the Pro Bowl immediately (he wound up in Hawaii as a replacement for the Ravens' Ed Reed). Prime example: Donte Whitner made it last year.
It's clear from the draft that Doug Marrone wants playmakers. Byrd makes big plays. His diving interception in the Thursday night game against the Dolphins last November was the defensive highlight of the season. There's no telling how many big plays he'll make if the Bills get legitimate pressure in Mike Pettine's defense.
When your draft picks hit big, you pay them. The Bills get criticized for their misses, but they nailed two second-rounders in 2009, Byrd and Andy Levitre. I saw the logic in letting Levitre walk. He's a guard; they're more easily replaceable. The Titans gave him six years, $46.8 million in free agency.
The Bills had better ways to spend Ralph Wilson's money. Eric Wood, the other solid pick from the '09 draft, will come later. Now it's Byrd's turn.
How much? Eric Berry of the Chiefs is the highest-paid safety at $10 million a year. Berry, the fifth overall pick in the 2010 draft, got that contract a year before the rookie wage scale went into effect. The Bills can argue that Berry's deal came in an old system and is no longer the standard.
A more relevant comparison is Tampa free safety Dashon Goldson, who recently signed a five-year, $41.25 million free-agent contract with the Bucs.
Goldson made his second Pro Bowl last season with the NFC champion 49ers. He played last season on a $6.2 million franchise tag.
If I'm the agent, I make the case that Byrd is Goldson's equal and more. Byrd has 18 career interceptions, third-most among NFL players in his four seasons.
Imagine the stats Byrd would accumulate on that San Francisco defense.
Parker might be shooting higher. I wouldn't blame him after the Bills gave McKelvin, a borderline starting cornerback, a $5 million salary. But five years, $42.5 million seems reasonable. That's $8.5 million a season, a tad more than Goldson. Byrd is two years younger.
Byrd is also a solid citizen, the product of a strong, religious family. His father, Gill, was a star defensive back in the NFL and a coach with Chicago until Lovie Smith was fired. When Jairus got the franchise tag, he tweeted out a link to a Bible passage. He and Gill have a program called Legacy Enterprises, which helps fathers and sons build closer relationships.
The Bills drafted some players with checkered backgrounds this year. Some fans welcomed it, saying the team could use an edge. There's some truth to that. If you wrote off every football player who had an off-field indiscretion in college, there wouldn't be a league.
But you don't get many players with the talent and character of a Jairus Byrd.
He's the sort of athlete you reward, and whom you build upon. The Bills say they believe in keeping their own. They can send a strong message to their fans, and to their locker room, by giving Byrd the deal he deserves.
Byrd has earned the right to think big. He's a star. You don't get better by throwing them back in the pool.

From her very first day on skis, Holly O'Brien needed a harness to keep from tearing down the slope. She was a downhiller from day one and the Zephyr Cove Ski Club helped her control and develop that need for speed, her mother, Sally O'Brien, said.
Zephyr Cove Ski Club, a nonprofit organization run by parent volunteers that teaches children to ski and snowboard, started about 50 years ago with the establishment of Whittell High School. The basin club, associated with Douglas County Parks and Recreation and the Douglas County School District, has two valley-based sister teams - the Saturday and Sunday clubs.
Holly O'Brien got her first taste of skiing with the club at 5 years old, and her passion for the sport continued to grow. She began ski racing, and after a year at Whittell, she left to attend a ski academy in Park City, Utah. Now she works as a personal trainer in Reno, Nev., but her mother still volunteers for the club as treasurer and registrar.
"It's exciting to see when second and third generations start coming through. It's neat --we have grandkids coming through the ski club. And for some of the kids, like my Holly, it isn't enough for them. I think it's a great program," O'Brien said.
Like Sally O'Brien, Zephyr Cove Ski Club President Bob Cook started volunteering because of his child. Cook signed up as a chaperone in 1981 because he wanted his son to learn the right way to ski from one of the Heavenly Mountain Resort instructors. Children don't always learn best from their parents, he said with a laugh.
In his 31 years with the club, Cook said he's seen children grow up on the slopes and the bring their children back to learn through the same program.
"I thought I had been an old member having been with Zephyr Cove for 30 years. But then Rob Pumphery with the Saturday Club gets up and said he'd been with the club for over 40 years. And then Tom Hickey (with the Sunday Club) got up and said he'd been with the club for 50 years," Cook said.
It's a historic organization, and Cook wanted to make sure it continued to be affordable. When the Douglas County School District required that the club purchase its own $1 million liability coverage, Cook and other administrators quickly launched a search for the cheapest insurance policy.
The school district also increased the transportation costs the club would have to pay, from $12,500 during the 2011-12 season to $19,500 this year. A grant from the Douglas County Board of Commissioners has covered transportation costs in the past, and Cook said he hopes the board will approve the funding again despite the higher cost. According to Cook, the club is still waiting on the result of the application, but so far prices of lessons and tickets for participants have only gone up $10.
"It's one of those things we can't sit here and worry about. There are enough people in the community who want to see this organization survive, so it shouldn't be a problem," he said.

Salem to consolidate sport booster groups
June 28, 2013
SALEM — Booster efforts for all Salem school district sports teams will consolidate under the Salem Athletic Boosters umbrella, with coordinated fundraisers to address the needs of every sport, the......
The reason the separate groups were formed many yrs. ago is because the "big" group, the Salem Athletic Boosters, only "boosted" the football program. The other groups decided, we will do our own program then. A few yrs. ago, all the money, even though these were not school sponsored groups was forced under the umbrella of the school treasurer's office, by an ordinance in the state revised code, because of issues like what happened at West Branch with a woman stealing money from one of the boosters groups there. The school board said, if they weren't handling the money, these groups couldn't operate on their property. And Now it's come to, no more separate groups, because the treasurer doesn't want to handle the money separately. Believe me, the soccer program, the basketball program, and all the rest, are not going to get the attention the football program will get. Nor the money. Couldn't leave well enough alone!!

This is, most likely, a big mistake. The end result will be less fundraising effort by fewer people, as most will realize the dilutive effects of this change. It is sort of like socialism; utlimately it will have a chilling effect on the incentive to raise funds. Too bad.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
May 8, 2013
Dr. William C. Snyder, professor of English in the Saint Vincent College School of Humanities and Fine Arts, has been selected from a large number of applicants from throughout the United States to attend one of seven summer seminars for college and university teachers that are sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities. NEH is a federal agency that each summer supports seminars and institutes at colleges and universities that make it possible for teachers from a broad variety of institutions to work in collaboration with peers and to study with experts in various humanities disciplines. Snyder will participate in a seminar entitled Reassessing British Romanticism. This five-week program will be held at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska. It will be directed by Stephen C. Behrendt, George Holmes Distinguished University Professor of English at the University of Nebraska. Each of the 16 teachers selected to participate will receive a stipend to cover their travel, study and living expenses. They will work on both individual and collective research and teaching projects in the area of later 18th- and early 19th-century British literature and culture. The seminar is intended to generate new research as well as new teaching materials and methods that will directly impact the work that seminar participants do in their classrooms at their home institutions.

Rubicon Genomics signed a supply agreement with Kreatech Diagnostics for use of Rubicon's OmniPLEX-D whole genome amplification technology. Under terms of the agreement Rubicon will provide reagents incorporating elements of its OmniPLEX® amplification technology to Kreatech for use in the manufacture of Kreatech's Poseidon™ fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes.
"This new agreement further demonstrates the broad applicability of our suite of pre-analytical amplification technologies for producing superior results in nucleic acid detection and analysis," notes James Koziarz, CEO of Rubicon. "By incorporating key elements of our technology into its manufacturing process, Kreatech is able to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and reproducibility of production of its FISH probes."
Herman Volkers, COO of Kreatech, adds, "Kreatech's Poseidon Repeat-Free technology eliminates repetitive elements in DNA FISH probes and in combination with our labeling technology—the ULS™ technology—delivers results that have less background, more specificity, and a brighter signal. Use of Rubicon's pre-analytical amplification reagents during the production process contributes to achievement of this superior performance."
The Repeat-Free technology eliminates the use of Cot-1 or blocking DNA, providing less background and a brighter signal. Kreatech's ULS, or Universal Linkage System, is a nonenzymatic technology that has been leveraged in microarray labeling applications.
Rubicon's OmniPLEX family of amplification technologies is designed to deliver sufficient quantities of high-quality species-specific or locus-specific RNA or DNA to increase the sensitivity and specificity of analyses of biological samples for biomedical research and clinical medicine. They use proprietary methods to prepare samples for sensitive and accurate PCR, microarray, and next-generation sequencing analysis and provide exceptional consistency, superior performance, and proven sensitivity, according to the company.

One of two family members from California who went missing during a hunting trip in the northern Sierra Nevada has been found dead.
The Alpine County Sheriff's Office says crews found 14-year-old Taylor Brent Dustin's body around 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Mokelumne wilderness bordering the El Dorado and Stanislaus National Forests.
Dustin's uncle, 40-year-old Devin Andrew Smith, was found in the same area three hours earlier. He was suffering from severe hypothermia.
The pair was camping in a valley about 22 miles south of Lake Tahoe, but did not return from a deer hunt on Sunday.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports that the area got about 18 inches of snow between Sunday and Tuesday.

Game times are set for the NCAA Super Regional between College of Charleston and Texas Tech.
The Cougars and Red Raiders open their best-of-three series 1 p.m. Saturday at Rip Griffin Park in Lubbock, Texas. The game will be televised on ESPNU.
Game two is slated for 3 p.m. Sunday on ESPNU and game three, if necessary, will start at 1 p.m. Monday on ESPN2. All of the games will be broadcast locally on ESPN 910 AM.
The winner of the super regional series advances to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. Neither team has ever played in the College World Series.
Both teams entered last week unranked in the Collegiate Baseball polls. Texas Tech now sits at No. 10, while College of Charleston moves up to No. 16.
The Cougars (44-17) are playing in the super regionals for the second time in program history. They defeated No. 2 overall seeded Florida, and Long Beach State twice to win the Gainesville Regional.
The Red Raiders (43-19) are in the super regionals for the first time after defeating Columbia and Miami twice for the Coral Gables Regional title.
College of Charleston is just the fourth No. 4 seed to ever advance to a super regional. The last two, Fresno State in 2008 and Stony Brook in 2012, both advanced to the College World Series.

Quick look: Sanctions against Penn State
School faces $60m fine, 4-year bowl ban
The NCAA imposed severe sanctions on Penn State Monday morning in light of the child abuse scandal and alleged cover-up that has rocked the university and its football program. The sanctions include:
-A $60 million fine. According to the NCAA, that amount is "equivalent to the average gross annual revenue of the football program."
-That $60 million fine, which according to a statement from the school given to CNN will be paid in $12 million installments over five years, will be paid into an endowment funding child abuse prevention and support programs outside the university.
-A four-year ban on postseason games.
-The vacation of all wins from 1998 through 2011, meaning 111 wins under Joe Paterno have been struck from the record, according to CBS Sports.
-A reduction in football scholarships for four years.
-Current or incoming Penn State football players may transfer to another school and compete on that school's team immediately.
-A five-year probationary period with a monitor.
-The NCAA also says it "reserves the right to impose additional sanctions on involved individuals at the conclusion of any criminal proceedings."

DO you have a bike just sitting in your garage? WHy not dust it off and take a ride. Its relaxing, yet a great workout, and you control the intensity. I went for a bike ride with my husband along the trinity river on saturday, and it was a nice way to spend time together in a healthy way.
Speaking of spending time together with friends and family, how about trying to do somethng actve, and not center all get togethers around eating. Or, first something active, a walk, bike ride, swim, meet for bowling, whatever... then a light meal..
And try water with meals, to increase your H2o intake.
IN HEALTH, Stacy~~
Trying something new is a way to eat a more balanced diet, and perhaps find a new favorite. Since I have moved to Texas, I have been able to buy jicama, and I like to cut it up and put it in my salad for some extra crunch.
Trying new foods adds variety to your diet. Instead of focusingon removing foods, why not think of ADDING more nutritious foods to your diet.
Also, try adding some lemon or lime to your water for some extra flavor?
Hope you try these tips!
In Health, Stacy
All right, we know we are going to be putting on bathing suits very soon! Not to worry, you can start making changes right now, to feel more confident in your summer clothes. Start by adding in more vegetables to your diet, along with plenty of water, perhaps with lemon.
Try taking some brisk walks, or even a jog if you are comfortable with the intensity. The important thing is to MOVE. Invest in some dumbbells, and look up some exercises on the internet. Buddy up with a friend, it helps make you accountable, plus it's fun! Or, try ivesting in some personal training sessions to make sure your form is correct, and to get the most from your workout time.
Small steps, one at a time, add up to building healthy habits for a lifetime!

Today a guest who had stayed at the Troy-Bumpas Inn this past fall sent me an email requesting the recipe for pumpkin pancakes that I served while she was staying with us. These pancakes are especially delicious in the fall and winter, when both pumpkin and cranberries are popular and plentiful. The cranberry syrup is a great accompaniment and very attractive. You'll find the recipe for the pancakes and cranberry syrup below.
This recipe calls for egg whites beaten to stiff peaks. Did you know that whole eggs separate most easily when cold, but the whites beat most easily when the egg whites are at room temperature? If you've never folded beaten egg whites into batter, check out this video for an excellent demonstration.
All pancakes taste best when served immediately and I only serve freshly made pancakes to guests. That said, I have found that these pancakes are remarkably good when stored and reheated. Cool any leftover pancakes completely on a wire cooling rack. When cool, stack the pancakes, using a piece of wax paper to separate each pancake. Place in an airtight, zipper sealed plastic bag. Refrigerate. To reheat, heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Remove the wax paper separators. Place pancakes in a single layer on ungreased cookie sheet and heat for approximately 10 minutes or until desired temperature.
Pumpkin Pancakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
4 eggs, separated
¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups skim milk
In large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin, egg yolks, oil, vanilla extract and milk. Stir until smooth; set aside.
In a medium bowl with straight sides, beat egg whites until stiff.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture. Mix just until moistened and ingredients are combined. Gently fold in beaten egg whites, mixing just until all ingredients are blended.
Spoon batter onto hot, oiled griddle using a ladle. Cook until golden brown on first side. (Batter is thick so bubbles may not rise to the surface.) Flip and cook pancake on second side. Serve immediately on a warm plate with Honeyed Cranberry Syrup.
Honeyed Cranberry Syrup
1-1/2 cups honey
½ cup cranberry, orange, or grape juice (I like to use orange juice.)
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, divided (do not bother to thaw if using frozen cranberries)
In medium saucepan, combine honey and juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in 1-1/2 cups of the cranberries and cook until cranberries pop, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ½ cup cranberries and let sit 5 minutes before serving. This sauce reheats nicely. Makes 2 cups.

It can be hard to measure out every portion of food you eat. Yet there are some simple ways to know that you are eating the right serving sizes.
A recommended serving size is the amount of each food that you are supposed to eat during a meal or snack. A portion is the amount of food that you actually eat. If you eat more or less than the recommended serving size, you will get either too much or too little of the nutrients you need.
Use your hand and other everyday objects to measure portion sizes:
You should eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day to help prevent cancer. Fruits and vegetables are low in fat and high in fiber. They will also help you fill up so that you eat less of high-fat foods. They do contain calories so you should not eat an unlimited amount, especially of fruits.

Fifteen years ago, The Nature Conservancy included a surprising entry on its list of the Western Hemisphere's 40 "Last Great Places": the Connecticut River tidelands. Surprising, because the salt marshes and tidal flats at the mouth of New England's longest river spread through a portion of the busy I-95 corridor of one of the most densely populated states in the country. Surprising, because most people living outside the area don't even know that the tidelands exist.
But the Conservancy knew what it was doing. Among the thousands of great places remaining on the planet, the campaign sought to draw attention to a special few facing immediate, potentially irreversible, threat. The organization has a particular interest in rare and endangered species. And in the Connecticut estuary and its handful of tributaries, the Conservancy identified one of the richest and most diverse ecosystems in the northeastern United States — an extraordinarily intact and fragile wetland complex that provides habitat to seven globally rare and 43 state-listed species.
One of the most immediate threats was the invasion of Phragmites australis— dense stands of 15-foot-high reed grass that were effectively choking off much of what the Conservancy hoped to protect. As program director Nathan Frohling described it to a New York Times reporter, "Phrag is a monoculture that squeezes out all other species. But it isn't just the species that are endangered; it's the habitat itself, this brackish tidal marsh, that is rare."
Phrag, although an invasive species in this particular habitat, is actually native to the Connecticut River Valley — peat core samples show evidence going back some 5,000 years. But for nearly all of that history, the reeds co-existed with other plants along upland shores, far from the salt marshes. But something happened in the 19th and early 20th centuries — likely the result of human activity that changed the balance of nutrients in the tidelands. Phrag came into the marshes and, once established, began to take over.
Thanks in part to the weight and emotional appeal of the "Last Great Places" campaign, the Conservancy and the state's Department of Environmental Protection secured funding in 2000 to try to bring the phrag into some kind of balance. Using targeted herbicides, cutting, and mulching, in addition to plugging and filling the old drainage ditches, the DEP project focused on restoring the degraded marshland at Great Island's Roger Tory Peterson Wildlife Area, while the Conservancy worked on the Lord Cove and Lieutenant River tidal marshes in the Old Lyme coastal area.
Since completion of the major part of this work, the natural flow of saltwater has returned to the marshlands, shallow ponds have developed, and hundreds of acres of phrag have been eliminated or controlled. Native brackish grasses and plants have slowly re-emerged, and with them, seaside sparrows, marsh wrens, green-winged teals, egrets, and several types of rails. The two phrag programs have been so successful that funding for similar-scale projects is targeting other locations in the tidelands.
Meanwhile, the Conservancy's work has energized a network of local, regional, state, and federal groups collaborating on the stewardship of the lower Connecticut River. For example, eight mouth-of-the-river communities represented on the Gateway Commission work to preserve the scenic qualities of the tidelands via zoning and citizen outreach. The Conservancy, increasingly aware of "nonpoint" sources of pollution and downstream impact, has also extended its focus beyond the salt marshes. At press time, legislation was pending in the U.S. Senate to designate the Eightmile River, an important Connecticut tributary, and its 62-square-mile watershed as a federally recognized "Wild and Scenic River" — only the second time such designation has recognized a river system rather than a single river.
Still, the fight to save the tidelands is pitched against a relentless foe. Pressure from sprawl and development continues to eat away at the edges. "We're seeing a lot more assault on the ridgetops," notes Judy Preston of the nonprofit Tidewater Institute. High levels of nitrogen still contaminate the seemingly clean water, and mercury laces the silt. The oyster and shad fisheries remain decimated. The attacks come from everywhere — from the fertilizer running off manicured lawns to airborne particles sent out from power plants hundreds of miles away.
Great publicity and a strong coalition of stewards may still not be enough to preserve a balance in the face of the planet's most powerful invasive species: human beings.

On Tuesday night, Terry Shipman of Beaumont, Texas, posted a photo to Twitter in an attempt to beat out DeGeneres's record-breaking group shot for the most retweets. Instead of surrounding himself with celebrities, Shipman posed with two adorable dogs and Tweeted the picture along with the message: "Let's see if we can beat the Oscar retweets!"
Shipman may be the underdog now, but he's on his way to reaching Ellen's 3.2 million mark. The mustachioed man's selfie already has more than 75,000 retweets. Shipman is gaining fans as well, having shot up from a mere 20 followers to over 2,500 overnight. Among these new supporters is Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model Chrissy Teigen.

Get well, Dan.
Don't do that again, please.
Yeah get well Dan.. that car crash looked nasty :/... "err he's ok, he was wearing a seatbelt"... Brian's seatbelt reminders lol

We're having a small family party for her birthday this weekend- as much as I'd love to throw a huge soirée, my grandparents can't be around too many people all at once, and with our four kids plus six other cousins all under age 10, you know.
But I really wanted to show you the adorable invitation, not necessarily meant to invite an extra hundred people to celebrate, but if you showed up with food and gifts I might not turn you away...
I've been feeling more than overwhelmed lately and not everyone I needed to invite has email, so I couldn't send an e-vite, and the thought of going to the store and buying invitations or the supplies to make my own and then figure out the price of stamps and how much do they even cost these days? 42 cents? 44 cents? really how much do they cost? so I took the super easy way out.
I had a few dollars in credit from a gift certificate I'd previously used for our holiday cards at Tiny Prints, so I got to work. I only needed about 10 invites, and they will mail them directly to your guests, so I didn't even have to lick an envelope or go exploring for stamps.
And I love how they turned out.
This post is in no way sponsored- I used some of my gift certificate + my own money if you really need to know- it's all my own doing and love for Tiny Prints. They always have some sort of special and discount easy to find on their website, and there are benefits to liking them on Facebook and following them on Twitter.
*edited to add: I just saw Zulily has a special until Friday- buy a $50 Tiny Prints gift certificate for only $25. If you aren't a Zulily member, you can sign up through me!
And again. Ivy is turning two tomorrow.
It goes so fast. <---- also a real peek at what 1 hour after home birth in my bedroom looks like.
Two. Tomorrow.

HTC M7 to be called HTC One
0. phoneArena 08 Feb 2013, 17:40 posted on
According to information from @evleaks, which has a very good track record in providing reliable leaks, is saying that the HTC M7 is going to hit the market as the HTC One; there is no word on what name the Taiwan based manufacturer plans on using with the two other handsets that it plans on launching around the same time...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. papss (unregistered)
Won't normal consumers think its older than the one x and one x + just by name? Not so sure that would be a good idea
9. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
I agree with this. What is going on at HTC...?
10. jsdechavez (Posts: 731; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
So the M7 (HTC One) successor will the HTC One 2? Then the HTC One 3? Oh great.
24. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
This one will be called the "New HTC One" next year will again be "New HTC One" and the story continues ... looks like they picked this after they slept with the enemy :)
25. cretinick (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)
The M7 should be the "HTC Two"! Not "HTC One"...
If they will name it HTC One, they should at least call it "HTC One: Director's Cut"
60. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
HTC M7 sounds nicer than HTC One -insert confusing stuff here-
29. RiseAgainst94 (Posts: 281; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
But...they... Cheered "HTC M7"...and I joined them.
50. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
They also cheered HTC One lol
62. Coolest4ever7 (Posts: 23; Member since: 07 Feb 2013)
I literally thought the same thing
2. bonsly16 (Posts: 68; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
Will this phone be the "one?"
34. Deaconclgi (Posts: 405; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
No, Neo is the one and not that Super Magnetic one either.
3. rickywinataa (Posts: 262; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
i think they will still use the one branding, it's pretty popular after all like how samsung won't throw away the galaxy s branding & apple won't throw iXXXX name
27. cretinick (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)
They probably gonna use any letter (Like the X, S and V) or cool name after the "One". Like "HTC One M7" or "HTC One Dragonfly".
4. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
Htc "one hundred" might sound better............and litterally those words not 100
12. jsdechavez (Posts: 731; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
so back to nokia's old naming scheme? haha
5. Feanor (Posts: 716; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
I usually think that building traditions is a good marketing strategy. It makes products memorable. The One series may have not had the anticipated commercial success but it also didn't suffer from bad reputation, so why not?
6. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Better than M7, thats for sure
But if they want to create a legacy and brand, I don't understand why they don't go by alphabet here.
One B would be fine.
63. Coolest4ever7 (Posts: 23; Member since: 07 Feb 2013)
One X squared lol
7. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Ok it is simplistic....I love it.....HTC take my advice with this....Advertise the helll out of this phone....say you thought from the ground up with the device and come up with an interesting reason why you call the HTC M7 the HTC One....
8. papss (unregistered)
Or it could be called One 2
11. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Or One X 2.
I agree with your earlier post. Just going by how other things are named....ppl might think this is older than the One X.
13. jsdechavez (Posts: 731; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Then the One 3.. geez..
18. nyamo (Posts: 274; Member since: 19 Mar 2011)
how is that any different than the gs2, gs3, and most likely the gs4?
19. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1717; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Think about it.. One 3? Two numbers in a name, it's dumb and can be confusing like the new, new iPad. Or the old new iPad :D
26. jcpwn2004 (Posts: 314; Member since: 18 Jan 2012)
or how about the Htc 2....
38. techtruth (Posts: 30; Member since: 07 Feb 2013)
how about htc one xx
39. wendygarett (unregistered)
One XXX :)
64. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
But then that phone would need 128GB storage if it is XXX for XXX

Battery?!?!?!?!?!?Let's see if HTC doesn't blow this one
20. OhSo3D (Posts: 39; Member since: 22 Feb 2011)
I really want this phone but I'm just not sure how the S4 Pro is going to stack up against Exynos 5 Octa. Such a shame that the s800 chips won't be released until Q2. That's the only factor that makes this a toss up with the SGSIV. :S
21. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
The Htc one series has been very good for the most part all except the one s which has been plagued with faults and problems
22. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Andro. Not just the One s, the one x was riddled with problems too.
it should be called the One X2, with the number 2 being an exponent. The gs1 wasn't successful either so building on the One X is definitely the best strategy.
although HTC already screwed it up by making it bigger than One X while retaining the same screen size.
42. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
The GS1 wasn't successful? Are you kidding? It may not have done the numbers of the S2 or S3, but it was one of the best selling Android phones of its time. I wouldn't be surprised if the only Android phone to do more up until that point was the original Motorola Droid.
23. imkyle (Posts: 1073; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
htc one, htc one x, htc one x+
Big no no.
28. osanilevich (Posts: 285; Member since: 29 Sep 2009)
I thought M7 was a pretty cool name. Pretty big reason as to why I personally was interested in the phone
30. MartyK (Posts: 819; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
HTC can use two brand HTC One and a HTC M (being a special phone).
31. Android4u (Posts: 456; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
Or they can get like Sammy and release a killer phone that's not altered for Any carrier. Even though I feel the HTC evo 4g lte craped on the one x.
32. MartyK (Posts: 819; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
That's where the M series plays its major role, similar to the Nexus brand cross carriers.
35. Android4u (Posts: 456; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
I see your point. But I don't know man, htc cant afford another year like last. Oh well, guess we'll wait and see
46. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
Epic 4G & the Epic 4G touch...
56. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
This sounds alot better than confusing ppl and naming a new phone One...
33. BREvenson (Posts: 240; Member since: 17 May 2012)
HTC has too many "One"s. One X, One S, One XL, One V...so will this just be THE One?
So much for "there can only be one"... :p
36. rishabh2795 (Posts: 5; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
Just give a User Removable Battery and Expandable memory and everyone will be ready to buy HTC phones. Thats the only thing which keeps most people buying HTC phones.
High price-removable battery-SDcard slot= HTC
37. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
HTC One M !
40. Superpiff (Posts: 36; Member since: 29 Jul 2012)
they should call it the htc hd one
41. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
m7 series is best idea..
43. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
You guys are so shallow and lack vision.
HTC One 2?
HTC One xx?
First name is absolute idiocy because it basically tells you 1 2.
The second name means absolutely nothing and is generic as s**t. What is M for? What is 7 for? Also, there were tons of phones with the same designation already!
The third name is a peak of retardation. What would be the successor's name? One xxx?
One is a perfect designation for something that should be a top product of the line.
It tells a message - this is The One of our line. Our prime. The alpha and omega.
Our first and leading phone. Our best.
And on second thought, I take back my alphabet suggestion.
Just One is enough. It is the very essence of the identity definition.
Ideally, each year people would just expect a new One without even a need for separate designation.
An icon product doesn't need it.
45. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Also, if the successor needs to have a new designation, then the alphabet can be used. One B, One C, One D etc.
Like the starship Enterprise A, B, C, D, E ...:p
57. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
All this would be great if they never named a phone One X, One V or One S already. They have a One series.....but the naming suggest this will be older.
Droid X
Droid X2
You can tell which one came first, and which one was the latest. Now that I think about it....Moto's new phone is rumored to be called the X. Motorola X so far. I have a feeling thats gonna change. If not....Moto and HTC need to hire ppl to help them name phones.
44. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Htc one is a very good name for the companies next flagship phone. People will say that it is the one true phone!
47. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
HTC One X 2(exponent) meaning HTC One X squared is the perfect name. One it keeps the One branding for some much needed continuous branding. Two, easy to name a sequel, you can call the next one One X to the power of 3 or cubed but just use the tiny 3 to keep the title short. Three, you can market One X squared easily by saying it is not just a One X sequel, it is the One X times the One X meaning it is a generational leap forward, in title at least.
On second thought, I have an even better and more truthful and accurate name. Ready..
Introducing the HTC rape me Apple and take my profits please!
48. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
HTC One is retarded because the One X sounds like the higher end model judging by the title. It would confuse Americans too easily. I wouldn't put it past HTC though, they are dumb enough to give Apple money for something they never invented.
49. kinz1515 (Posts: 5; Member since: 24 Dec 2012)
If you remember correctly, they shouted "M7, M7, M7" and then "One, One, One, One". So, in my opinion, we could have already predicted such a thing.
By the way, if they call the phone HTC One, and nex year HTC One 2 and so on, they would be doing something just like Samsung and Apple do, so I don't get how you people in here are saying they "somehow" joined the dark side...
51. lyndon420 (Posts: 4403; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
I love my One X, but they should have called this something else IMO.
52. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
This is good news. No need to introduce a new series into the mix. the HTC One X is no a bad device at all, although it didn't sale better then Samsung's GSIII the two devices stack up pretty well in the performance department. Plus all the other phones in the series did there job well too. The most common complaint about the One X was it's lack of a SD card slot. The One X is a powerful and beautiful phone and it deserves another generation. I don't know whats wrong with calling it the "HTC Two". I believe that's the most strait forward name for easily confused customers. Simply calling it the HTC One could understandably confuse some people but, I would hope people would take the time to know more about the phone they're buying then just the name.
53. preet27in (banned) (Posts: 173; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
well M7 name really suits htc's upcoming phone. then why to rethink a new name. like htc one. there is no point in this htc. rather m7 name sounds very attractive and A JAMES BOND TYPE. so its better to call it with its real name. nyways good luck for this device, its gna b rocking we all know that.
54. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
HTC is rolling down hill slowly. They better not f**k up this "One" or they're done. The GS IV is coming soon so this "One" better have something extraordinary besides 1080p screen. As we can all see, HTC as an example, being the first to innovate doesn't necessarily mean becoming "the first." And besides, company can put 1080p on a screen.

mmm,its an ok series...and you are correctamundo on the movie date. destroy whats not or whats withen but life can be ......or can it?? words....whats the use.
i think it is very interesting... "important words left unsaid remain in ur heart^^"
to think is to know....but to know is all ,at least that is what some might say...
i love the twilight series and yes it comes out on december 12 :D
And Shepherds we shall be.For thee, my Lord, for thee.Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.So we shall flow a river forth to theeAnd teeming with souls shall it ever be
Never heard of it i'll put it on my list of animes to see ^_^
Actualy the movie will be out November 21 08, the reason for the new date is because the Harry Potter date got moved, so they took the chance of switching the date.
thats good...ill have to remember that date i want to see the movie...i also want to see the harry potter movie....isnt the 7th going to be split into 2 movies because it is so long??
im gonna go see that movie when it comes out cuz i heard its supposed to be really good
Cool, I actually liked the Twilight series I thought it was great, it had a good plot, good characters, and so on and so forth, I'm glad its coming out earlier but I'm also a little nervous too, I mean movie remakes of books are usually disappointing... anyway heres hoping to its success!( jeez I sound depressing =( ) In life theres no such thing as black and white its all grey.
actually they moved it up to november 21 wow a fellow twilight reader have you read them all the whole series i mean
Guess I better read the books then before I see the movie.Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana OTAKU ELITE"Innoscence Activate!"
I will just watch the movie I guess LOL!
see a move about it/them. For example Harry Potter... Personally I have found that in most cases... "most cases" not all... the books are much better. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana OTAKU ELITE"Innoscence Activate!"
But I dont really care for him anymore... Its actually pretty cool how he dies. I never saw it coming! It was all over the place when it happened in the last book LOL!
but now I know how it ends... *grumbles again*...But you didn't know that... LOL! Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana OTAKU ELITE"Innoscence Activate!"
Love... is just a different kind of pain.
i haven't read the book or seen the movie
but ive never actually read the book^_^
I have the three books, the DVD and the Soundtrack. I wanna see the new movie coming and see what they film that is different than the book.
i havent read all the books but the ones i have were great...and the movie was pretty awsome <3<3<3 "Kick roxx eat dirt get drunk and have fun x]"
I actually really liked the first movie it turned out a lot better than I expected. I have to admit though I am a little worried about the second movie, New Moon, with the new director and all, I hope its at least as good as the first. I can't wait to see it though.P.S Edward was kind of a let down for me...not that good looking in the movie... :( Love... is just a different kind of pain.
I don't know if ive already answered this in the past, but i hae read all twilight, new moon, eclipse, and breaking dawn. It's a good series.
Twilight movies are my favorite. I love to watch these movies, i have all the three parts and now i am eagerly waiting for its new part i.e breaking dawn which is to be released near the end of the year..
Watch The Rebound Online
point who doesn't......<~Did you know that Your Dreams are Just Lost Pieces of Reality.~> http://www.playlist.com/LadyMeyesi
I hate twilight but... Breaking Dawn is releasing date is November 18, 2011 and Director is Bill Condon. If you dont believe check it out ..
its not a vampire film ~ The True User Of Mangekyō Sharingan 12,000 points ~
a good vampire movie that i recomend for everyone that likes the cool vampires and not the twilight ones is Interview With The Vampire. "I WANT YOU TO THROW ME AWAY!!!"
< =D =) =. :D :) :. =P =f =B =b =O =X XD >D 8D 8) =5 =E =H :P :B X) >) 0) -) -D 0D o_O >
Twilight is a mind blowing series. I have watched it's lot of series online with my friends which are fully appreciated.
Pokemon Episodes
I have read and seen the recent movies. And i might say that it is one of my favorites.

Bindi, now 14, has shed the ponytails and khaki outfits she wore when she explored the world with her father. In her upcoming Hallmark Channel Movie, Return to Nim's Island (which premieres March 15 at 8 p.m. ET on the Hallmark Channel), the teenager portrays the lead role of Nim, a wildlife enthusiast who sports cutoff denim shorts and whose long blonde hair flows past her shoulders.
"Acting is something I'm extremely passionate about," Bindi tells PEOPLE. "Nim is the ultimate wildlife warrior so it was great. I could really relate to the role. Nim is such a passionate individual. She stands up for what she believes in and she won't take no for an answer."
"I see my filming career as an opportunity to get the message of conservation out to an even greater audience," she says.
Bindi hasn't forgotten the lessons she learned from her father, who was killed by a stingray while filming the documentary Ocean's Deadliest in 2006.
"Everything I do in my life I do to make my mum and dad proud. I want to carry on in my dad's footsteps and make sure that his legacy lives on forever," Bindi says.
"I want my children and my grandchildren to live in a world with clean air, pure drinking water and an abundance of wildlife so I've chosen to dedicate my life to wildlife conservation so I can make the world just a little bit better."
