Great AIO package By Thomas on 12/30/2014Thomas would recommend this product to a friendThis is everything you need(except a pump) to start running bio pellets. Great for smaller tanks. For all the bio pellets to tumble right it says to only use 350ml which is not enough media for larger tanks.
awesome By tonyz on 12/28/2014tonyz would recommend this product to a friendEasy set up . But I used a tee off of my feed line to my gfo and carbon reactor which is a tee off of main return to tank so no powerheads to burn out and no extre pump to buy. I just got it for xmas so dont know about biopellets yet.
Order 1100225796 By Marta on 11/28/2014Marta would recommend this product to a friendPerfect for beginner... Highly recommended.
biopellets By travis on 6/13/2014travis would recommend this product to a friendLove this combo try it with the maxjet 1200 but not enough after a while just upgrade the pump and in 5 days my nitrates were wiped out awsome
Good Value By reefracer on 3/5/2014reefracer would recommend this product to a friendThe kit is complete setup, only complaint for me is the supplied tubingis too short for where iIwwanted to put the reactor which is on the wall behind the tank right beside my BRS carbon and gfo reactors so Ihad to get longer tubing to connect. I also purchased a mag 3 pump to power it which Charlie at BRS ssuggested, I have 100 gal water volume so all the two cups of pellets supplied in the kit were used. There is a issue with getting all the pellets to tumble as needed even with the mag 3, the problem that I had is if I give the reactor full flow approximately 1/2 of the pellets goes to the top and don't tumble and the bottom half tumbles very good. I found "most" of the pellets tumble slowly if I throttle back the mag 3. I have not tried any adjustments to it as it has been running 5 days, I may try to teak it some more after running for a couple of weeks. Some others have complained of debris clogging the reactor, I hope this won't be an issue for me since I am using the foam prefilter supplied with the mag 3. They recommend once the reactor is running not to touch it for 6months and then only to add pellets as needed which is what I plan to do with only exception is to clean the mag 3 prefilter as needed, we'll see how it goes
Best by far By Robert on 2/15/2014Robert would recommend this product to a friendGot this bad day in and it was stellar..... tried others first but now I realized I wasted my money.... so glad I have this now....
Good economy reactor By Denise on 1/11/2014Denise would recommend this product to a friendI got the Biopellet reactor with Mag drive 3 pump. It was fairly easy to set up though be warned if you attach it in correctly the push fittings are a pain to get unattached. The pellets tumble well but it seems a little temperamental and they occasionally get stuck up at the top. I have fairly low nitrates to begin with as its a young tank with only two very small fish but I like corals that eat and plan on having more fish so I wanted to get the biofilter started.
Pros: very good quality for price
straight forward set up
good customer support
seems to mostly work as described
cons: make sure you double check where to attach everything as push fittings are a pain
can be temperamental if debris ends up on the top of the media canister filter. The Mag drive 3 is supposed to limit this problem but mine has gotten clogged already.
Overall i would recommend it to a friend who was looking for a no frills reactor for a great price. I am pleased to have an inexpensive option which leaves more money for corals
Working great, keep up on pump maintenance. By MandM on 11/24/2013MandM would recommend this product to a friendLove the reactor, I've stopped the vodka dosing and that freed up a dosing pump for my Mg.
I'm using a Maxijet 12 (the Cobalt version) and it's tumbling the media just fine. I recommend cleaning the pump monthly. I slipped on that maintenance and noticed today the pump was not working. Not sure how long it sat but when I removed the reactor and pump to clean, SWEET JEEBUZ the smell was evil. Flushing with RODI and cleaning the pump with vinegar did the trick. Tonight's adventure has resulted in a new phrase around my house, "Alright, who's Carbon dosing?" LOL
Not for biopellets By trigger on 5/17/2013trigger wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI have 1 of these reactors and 2 of the black brs ones. They are perfect for GFO and Carbon, however i dont think they are ideal for Biopellets what so ever. After just 1 week the biopellets are barely tumbling because of gunk buildup inside the filter that restricts flow. This has to be cleaned weekly to keep the biopellets tumbling. Having to do this makes it a chore so I am seriously considering a different reactor. I hope BRS will re-design this reactor so that it doesnt clog as easily. Do not recomment for BIO Pellets. Only for GFO and Carbon.
The proof is in the pudding By Collin on 2/28/2013Collin would recommend this product to a friendI did about a month of solid research before committing to bio pellets as a form of biological filtration. After scouring the web, I decided to give the bio pellet kit a try.
The reactor was super simple to set up (total set up time was around 15 minutes). The reactor is made from heavy duty plastic. Another quality product from BRS!
After 8 weeks, my Elos nitrate test kit tested between 2.5 - 1.0ppm nitrate (the colors were too hard to distinguish). My nitrates were stuck at 10-15 ppm for the past year no matter what I tried (water changes, chaetomorpha). Simply unbelievable. My nitrates are dropping by the day.
Make sure you read, and re-read the instructions on the BRS website---it'll save you a ton of time and headaches down the line.
Like the instructions say --- be patient! I tested nitrates almost every other day (I'm impatient like most reefers), but the patience finally paid off after 8 weeks.
You'll need to have a decent skimmer if you run bio pellets, otherwise you won't see the results (or so I've read). My Tunze 9002 skimmer started to produce dark tea-colored skimmate after running bio pellets.
One tip though---do NOT purchase the Maxijet1200 pump if you plan on running a smaller pump with this reactor. The newer Maxijet pumps rattle cos it can't handle the head pressure. Instead, order the Cobolt Aquatics pump (made in Italy). I'd recommend going the Mag3 if you can (like BRS recommends).
Like some, I experienced cloudy water, but as long as you have a decent skimmer, and lots of water movement, you should be fine. My livestock and corals survived, and are now showing full polyp extension. If you have an ORP meter, keep on eye on it so that your oxygen levels don't drop too much. Install extra powerheads if you need to oxygenate your water. The cloudiness subsides after 3-4 days. However, your results may vary.
Above all, be patient, follow the instructions, and you shall be rewarded. I'll definitely run my next tank using biopellets.

Could deskwork as we know it be on the verge of changing?
The Certified Personal Trainer program offered by Erie 1 BOCES recently conducted a lab experiment that would interest anyone who has sat at a desk for days at a time.
Using a unique blend of science, math, physical activity and technology, high school seniors in the program tested a hypothesis that walking, while working, can improve cognitive performance.
Using wireless remotes from Smart Technologies, students solved real-life math problems while walking on a treadmill. Those same students then answered similar questions when seated at a desk.
The lab was designed in collaboration with teachers from various disciplines and in accordance with the New York State STEM initiative.
When the lab concluded, the results neither strongly supported nor debunked the hypothesis. Students performed equally in both settings but burned more calories by walking while they worked.
"A unique take on implementing the scientific process, while also practicing math skills, provided tremendous educational value," said Justin Prusak, an instructor. "Our goal wasn't to publish in a medical journal."
Prusak and his fellow teachers expect to conduct similar experiments.

Managing the deer in Harpers Ferry
February 3, 2013
HARPERS FERRY — The National Park Service estimates the whitetail deer population in Harpers Ferry lies between 80 to 260 per square mil....

TentonN: I learned that while birth control for does is available and used by zoos, the shot used 1) required two doses administered several weeks apart to be effective, and 2) couldn't be easily given via dart.
So, you'd have to physically catch each doe, have someone give the shot, and tag the doe (like with a cow ear tag) so you would know whether the doe had received 0, 1, or 2 doses and the date(s). All of this is very stressful for the animal and some would die during the process - not to mention expensive, and dangerous for the people trying to give the shots. Then you repeat next year...

It is sad that the only way we have to control deer population is by killing deer. We need birth control measures ?? Deer in Hampshire County WV are heavily infected with "Wasting Disease"...and this is likely in other deer areas as well. This disease is similar to "mad cow" disease. Personally, I will not eat deer meat because this disease is likely to jump to humans beings as well. Ask your doctor ??? Thank you.

Big government grant programs are invitations to waste and fraud. When the idea is to spend millions, even billions, of dollars before a deadline passes, the possibilities for misuse of taxpayers' money are endless.
It should be no surprise, then, that state officials are seeking an audit of a $126 million grant program to expand high-speed Internet access in West Virginia. It also should be no surprise that, like the scandal-plagued "weatherization" project in our state, the $126 million was appropriated through the federal "stimulus" program.
Included in the funding was $24 million to purchase 1,064 computer network routers.
That is a lot of money for computer routers, some of which, for home use, can be purchased for less than $50 each. But after receiving the money, the state went ahead and purchased routers at an average cost of $22,600 each, then began having them installed - slowly - at public facilities such as schools, libraries and emergency dispatching centers.
Many locations where the routers were installed or are to be placed don't need the ultra high-powered capacity. Routers costing much less - and in some cases, fewer of them - could do the job just fine.
Last week state Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette said a Virginia consulting firm will investigate the $126 million grant program. A financial audit will be included in the study.
West Virginians don't need professionals to tell them what happened. It occurs all the time. The "spend it or lose it" philosophy of handling taxpayers' money is at work again.
The idea is simple: If you're a government official or employee told you have a certain amount of money to spend, you spend it. All of it, whether you really need to or not to provide adequate service to the public.
In fact, President Barack Obama's administration made it clear that is how the $787 billion "stimulus" program was to be administered. The more money that was spent, the more jobs Obama could claim had been created.
Officials in our state should have refused to go along, and not just out of principle. Installing needlessly costly equipment now at federal expense means that, in the not-to-distant future, replacement and repair costs will have to be borne by local and state governments.
Presumably, the consultant will uncover all the sordid details of how money was wasted through the grant program. But West Virginians already know how it happened: It's just government doing things the way it always has - wastefully.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - One of Lake Tahoe's most established nonprofit organizations recently fired a "respected and trusted" employee who officials believe embezzled roughly $15,000 over a several-month span in 2012.
In a letter mailed to donors late last week, Heather Tone, president of the board of directors for Tahoe SAFE Alliance, and Karen Carey, the nonprofit's executive director, said they were "sad and disappointed" after an internal investigation determined the former female employee had stolen community donations and manipulated payroll records.
"...We are confident that the theft was committed by this one employee only," Tone and Carey wrote. "The perpetrator had been a long term employee who we respected and trusted. Unfortunately, we were betrayed and became a victim of her greed."
The employee was fired after an internal audit in late 2012, Carey said in a Friday interview with her and Tahoe SAFE Alliance board vice-president Sean Farnan.
"Over the last six months, it became apparent ... and it caused us to do an investigation," Farnan said. "Once we determined who we believed (was at fault), we met with the person in question ... and she was terminated within 24 hours."
Farnan and Carey declined to reveal the employee's name or discuss specifics of the internal investigation, as the information was being turned over to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives initiated a case this week, WCSO Deputy Armando Avina said on Tuesday, although further details could not be released.
Tahoe SAFE Alliance - which changed its name from Tahoe Women's Services in 2011 - is a nonprofit established in 1985 that's dedicated to the reduction of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse in North Lake Tahoe/Truckee. Its main office is in Incline Village, with satellite locations in Kings Beach, Tahoe City and Truckee.
The organization's current budget is $1.4 million, Carey said, 78 percent of which comes from various grants, the rest through fundraisers and donations. The internal audit revealed no grant money was involved in the theft, according to the letter to donors.
Carey and Farnan said that while the situation is unfortunate, they were glad certain controls were in place to stop the situation before it became worse. Because only $15,000 was stolen, none of the nonprofit's programs will be affected.
The Tahoe SAFE Alliance board is convening a special team to review the organization's financial records in an effort to strengthen its internal policies and accounting procedures, according to the letter.
"Our donors ... and the community trusts us to be stewards for their money," Carey said Friday. "We all know how hard it is to raise money these days ... to even lose $1 in this manner is pretty awful."

A few months ago when I came across an NAACP press release online that said Chrysler and UAW/Chrysler were going to be participating sponsors at this year's 41st NAACP Image Awards held Feb. 26, I was really surprised.
It's not that it was unusual for Chrysler to be involved in the Image Awards or that the event isn't deserving of the company's support. The Detroit-based automaker's been a very active sponsor of the Los Angeles awards ceremony for years.
In fact, I've attended the Image Awards several times as a guest of Chrysler as part of their efforts to support the event that celebrates the achievements of minorities, like actress Mo'Nique, who won an award at this year's Image Awards for her critically acclaimed role in the movie "Precious."
For years Chrysler held Behind the Lens, launched in conjunction with the Image Awards, recognizing and celebrating the achievements of individuals behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. Behind the Lens has drawn some of the biggest names in Hollywood to share in the recognition and the accomplishments of honorees like directors Spike Lee and John Singleton, and legendary producer Quincy Jones.
Why was I surprised to hear of Chrysler's involvement with the Image Awards? Well, considering the state of today's economy and the push for more companies to cut costs, a lot of businesses are either eliminating, slashing or simply not saying anything about diversity as part of their future plans.
Other companies have been stressing what's being described as a more "integrated" approach to diversity by making it part of general or overall strategies, which has heightened concerns about the fate of it altogether.
The question a lot of companies are asking is, "What is the business case for diversity?"
Chrysler, on the other hand, is making it a point to openly discuss how they plan to improve their diversity strategies since emerging from bankruptcy this past June in a new ownership structure with the Italian automaker Fiat.
Ralph Gilles, president and CEO of Dodge and SVP of Chrysler Product Design, says the entire way Chrysler has approached diversity is under review — a push coming all the way from the top with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, notes Chrysler officials.
"The whole way we approach it has been a little bit of a search," said Gilles, credited with heading the design of the award-winning Chrysler 300C when it launched. "There needs to be a more consistent approach to diversity."
Even more telling is the fact that Chrysler acknowledges that the company hasn't been as successful as it could be when it comes to diversity.
"Right now it's broken, there's a lot of potential, a huge upside," Gilles said.
Al Iacobelli, vice president, Union Relations, UAW-Chrysler, said the automaker has been undergoing a complete overhaul in all facets of its operations with regard to diversity.
"Our workforce is going to determine our product in the future," said Iacobelli.
Lisa J. Wicker, director of global diversity and talent acquisition at Chrysler, said the automaker is currently looking to fill a number of positions as part of its overall strategy that includes diversity.
"Current position openings include engineering, production supervision, finance, accounting, human resources," she said.
Chrysler's visibility at the Image Awards was intended to show that the company is still very much committed to diversity, said Wicker.
General Holiefield, UAW vice president and director, UAW-Chrysler, stands firmly behind the automaker's commitment to diversity.
"Diversity has been within Chrysler's structure. America is a melting pot and it is very reflective of the people who work at our facility," said Holiefield. "We are diversified from the basement to the top. We are committed to diversity."

Oops, something didn't work.
It is worth pointing out that Hitcents used MonoGame (www.monogame.net) to allow them to port their game from iOS to Windows 8 and Android in 4 hours!!
MonoGame is an OpenSource implementation of XNA that works on iOS, Android, Linux, MacOS, PlayStation Mobile, Windows 8RT, Windows Phone8, Ouya, Raspberry PI and maybe one day, a console near you .
Check it out and help make it the XNA you hoped it would be.
Sure those MonoGame team deserve a lot of cudos for delivering XNA to Android, iOS, Windows 8 and WP8, when Microsoft gave up on us indie XNA developers.
And Xamarin for also having the confidence in .NET (albeit there cross compilers come with a lisence costs)
@Jules: Microsoft hasn't lost any interest in .NET. Just to be clear... There's a difference between having interests in more than one thing versus having one thing be everything. Make sense? We are also fans of Xamarin.
If MS bought Xamarin and brought this in house...it would kill almost all of the other tools that people are using to build IOS and Android apps. Just destroy them. VS is the best dev tool hands down...being able to do cross platform would just be epic. It might also improve the quality of apps in the Windows Store since writing for windows or windows phone wouldn't seem like you were shooting yourself in the foot. (That's not my opinion, its what I'm hearing from people who are selling software in the Apple and Android stores.)
thank you
great show and information all mobile developers should use

UNIVERSITY PARK - Upon becoming Penn State's new head football coach in January, among the first questions asked of Bill O'Brien: "Are you going to change the uniforms?"
Emphatically, he said no.
Many traditionalists, including yours truly, appreciated the response. In fact, I don't believe it was O'Brien's place to make that judgment.
But the severe sanctions brought by the NCAA changed everything, and beyond the four-year bowl ban and significant reduction of scholarships, O'Brien was told on July 23 - two weeks before camp - that his entire roster could transfer and be eligible anywhere else immediately.
Delivered news that easily surpassed an opponent putting all 11 in the box, O'Brien called an audible.
As he scrambled to keep his team together, he decided those remaining should be honored so even your grandmother could see the names of every Lion, backs against Mount Nittany, still standing.
"I want people to recognize these kids," O'Brien said during Penn State's Media Day last week.
O'Brien spent some late nights talking with his players in his office, senior leaders like linebacker Michael Mauti and fullback Mike Zordich, to gauge opinion.
The two are steeped in Penn State history, having followed their fathers - both former Lions, both former NFL players - into the program.
Their jerseys will likely be among the most worn by Penn State students and fans this year.
"It might take a little getting used to, but who can argue with this?" Mauti, No. 42, said Thursday. "Why wouldn't you want to show the world the guys that committed to the program and the names that have sacrificed and helped the program move through this.
"I understand the uniform's been a (Penn State) symbol, but at the same time, this is a new era and a new deal."
Zordich, No. 9, knows some older alumni might not like it, but he believes the extraordinary circumstances justified the change.
"Even with all my history around here, I like the reasoning behind it," he said. "We've going through really tough times. Nobody has ever gone through something like this at Penn State and for coach to want the people to know everybody who has gone through this and stayed through it, I have no problem with it."
Zordich and Mauti were two of the spokesmen who stood in front of a large contingent of players who pledged their commitment after the sanctions.
"We kept hearing the team was falling apart when most of the guys weren't going anywhere," Zordich said.
Mauti proudly said 78 of 85 scholarship players remained.
"We only lost three or four starters, and none on defense," he said.
The uniform tweak was not a hard sell.
"(O'Brien) talked to the team about it," Zordich said. "The guys all thought it was a great idea. Some older alumni and some of the more traditional fans and students may not like it, but you've got to do what you've got to do in this kind of situation."
He paused and added, "This is not a normal situation, and any advantage you can gain you should take."
On the front of the jersey will be a Big Ten patch (also new this year for all teams) and the Nike swoosh. A blue ribbon signifying the fight against child abuse - "the most important patch on the uniform," O'Brien called it - will go somewhere, although there's not much room left on the jersey.
On the pants or even helmet, maybe?
Bigger-picture questions for another day are how many years the names will appear on the jerseys - from this view, the length of the sanctions sounds right, followed by a re-evaluation - and whether it will carry over to the other sports.
While the uniform is another sidebar element to all that's gone on, "They won't define us," Mauti said. "It's not about the uniforms. It's about the values we hold dear to us. We could wear pink, and it wouldn't matter."
Given that alternative, the names on the blue and white uniform will be better. Then again, Penn State's first uniforms, in 1887, were pink and black.
The Lions went undefeated that year - 2-0, shutting out Bucknell twice.

BATAVIA – A knife-wielding robber held up a Town of Batavia beauty supply store shortly after 9 a.m. Saturday, Genesee County Sheriff's deputies said.
The masked robber targeted Sally Beauty Supply, 4662 Veterans Memorial Drive, and demanded money from an employee at the cash register, as well the purse of the cashier, whose hands and feet were bound, authorities said.
The robber fled and warned the cashier not to alert authorities for five minutes. The bandit fled in a vehicle parked at the parking lot of Towne Center at Batavia, deputies said.
The cashier was uninjured. An undetermined amount of money was taken.
Deputies said they are looking for a light-colored, 2002-07 Jeep Cherokee with a New York State gold-and-blue license plates.

We can only measure the effectiveness of our work by the extent that it meets the specific goals of the project—more sales on your ecommerce website, higher usage on your intranet, or increased engagement with your brand.
Results-focused design involves a lot more than a "good eye." It involves drawing on knowledge from diverse disciplines such as cognitive psychology, anthropology, and math, as well as a design team with the ability to apply artistic talent within a strategic framework.

Veteran defender John Wilson signed to play another season for the Charleston Battery.
Wilson, 35, has played in 228 games (second all-time) for the Battery, seeing 19,973 minutes of action, recording one goal and 10 assists. Wilson has been on three of the Battery's four championship teams (2003, 2010 and 2012).
"Being able to sign John Wilson to another season is a tremendous plus to the club as John brings a wealth of experience to the community and the team on the field which cannot easily be replaced," said Charleston head coach Mike Anhaeuser.
Wilson began his pro career with the Battery in 1999. He signed with Major League Soccer's Kansas City Wizards in 2000 and returned to the Battery to play three seasons from 2001-03. In 2004, Wilson signed with the Rochester Rhinos. A year later, he signed with MLS' D.C. United. After three years with D.C. United, Wilson rejoined the Battery before the start of the 2008 and has been with the club ever since.
College of Charleston hosts No. 7 Tennessee (14-2) in a single game at 3 p.m. today at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant. The Cougars (6-3) have won six straight games.
Fridays will be all red at Riley Park during the upcoming Charleston RiverDogs season as Red Shirt Friday returns. All fans who wear red shirts to the game on Friday will save $1 off the purchase of their ticket at the box office. That dollar can then be donated to benefit the charity Canines for Veterans.
And to top things off, the RiverDogs players, manager and coaches will again wear specially made red jerseys for every Friday night home game.

A blog about why the Lakers got swept may seem like a strange topic from a company
in the financial services industry. But you may have noticed from my earlier articles that I believe there are a lot of lessons we can learn from sports that apply to business and life in general.
As a Lakers fan, I have long admired their championship attitude and drive. As amatter of fact, as a company, we set a goal to own the Lakers by 2029! That may sound crazy to some, but this company is built on the idea of making the impossible a reality.
Here are nine things that we can learn from the Dallas Mavericks' sweep of the Lakers this week:
1. The Hunger Factor
A hungry wolf pack will go after prey that is larger, stronger, and with dangerous hooves and antlers. But a wolf with a full belly will sit content as a baby dear walks by. Hunger is the motivator that gets us through pain, fatigue, and a superior opponent.
When you look at the metaphorical hunger that drives people to win, we have to ask: did the Lakers have a full belly? Were they stuffed on the championship rings already on their fingers? It's like many of us who have a decent job with benefits and we fall in the trap of getting comfortable instead of doing something extraordinary with the gifts that God has given us. The Lakers got complacent with their past successes; they forgot that the hunger for greatness can't end after a few successful hunts.
2. Lack of Synergy
The Lakers in the second round played more like individuals than as a team. If there is one statistic that you can look at to evaluate teamwork, it is assists. Assists represent synergy on a team; everyone gets involved. There are times during the season when a player can carry a team for a game or two; but in the playoffs, it's a team that wins championships, not an individual player.
Now there might be some Michael Jordan fans out there tempted to say that Jordan did it on his own, but that simply isn't true. How many times did Paxton, Kerr, Pippen, Armstrong or Kukoc come through to help win a Bull's game? Several times, and while maybe this didn't happen as many as times as with Jordan, the Bulls wins were a team effort. In these playoffs, Kobe tried to take over the game too many times instead of getting his team involved. It's the Lakeshow, not the Kobeshow.
3. A Feeling of Entitlement
Some of the younger Laker players like Andrew Bynum seem to have a feeling of entitlement. From the beginning of the season these players started off thinking that the world revolved around them and the game was theirs before they earned it.
4. Ego Got in the Way
The Lakers went into the series thinking that no one was real competition for them. Arrogance makes you comfortable and you lose the fire that got you there.
5. Too Good to Hustle
If there was a song that the Lakers should've listened to throughout the season, it's a song by Jennifer Lopez called "Jenny from the Block." Here's one of the lines:
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got. I'm still Jenny from the block. I use to have a little now I have a lot. No matter where I go I know where I came from.
The song might have reminded the Lakers that, no matter how big they get, they have
to remember where they came from. They have to recall the work and hustle it took for them to get into the NBA in the first place. The Lakers got too good to hustle.
6. Lack of Toughness
I've often said that one of the most important qualities one must have is the courage to fight. I'm not referring to getting physical, but fighting for a greater cause. Once the fight
is gone, there's a tendency to surrender.
That's exactly what the Lakers did. They stopped fighting. They only fought when they felt like it. Imagine if our troops only fought when they felt like it. What would this nation look like? How safe would you and I feel? Greatness is about fighting whether you feel like it or not.
7. Forgot What Their Jersey Represented
Sometimes we forget what the red, white, and blue represents. It represents freedom, courage, opportunity, values, principles, camaraderie, morals, honor, and a sense of history. We sometimes forget that the values this nation was founded on are not going to pass on to the next generation just by natural course. It's required for our generation to teach the next generation how special our country is.
The bottom line is that the Lakers didn't play with a sense of history and respect for the Lakers' legacy.
8. Lack of Responsibility
There's a trend toward finding someone else to blame instead of taking personal responsibility. In politics, we've become experts at pointing fingers instead of uniting and realizing that we're all represent the same flag. We all need to pull our own little red wagon and not count on someone else to pull it.
The players on the Lakers were constantly relying on someone else on the team to step up instead of deciding to be the winning factor as an individual.
9. They Thought They were Bigger than the Game
No single American is bigger than the United States of America. That doesn't mean that there won't be an opportunity for heroes to rise up like Patton, the Wright brothers, Reagan, Lincoln, King, Graham, Washington and many more. However, not one of these icons is more important than this nation itself. The Lakers simply thought that everything revolved around them. The NBA is bigger than the Lakers. This league has a lot of history. Celtics pride, Knickerbockers, Philadelphia 76ers, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, and many other teams have proud legacies. These great teams, dynasties, and champions collectively make up the NBA.
I leave you with my prediction for the finals: Oklahoma City Thunder against the Miami Heat. Oklahoma City is a better team but Miami has more experience. The Heat should win but don't count out the Thunder.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Kate Bosworth
- 1998
Just a Whisper
When Bosworth auditions for Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer, the aspiring thespian brings a family Christmas card as her headshot. Her equestrian experience helps get her cast as Judith, whose death haunts her friend played by Scarlett Johansson. In September, Bosworth returns to school and graduates as a National Honor Society member and athlete in lacrosse and soccer.
- 2000
Tube Time
Bosworth plays the beautiful Bella Banks in the WB's Young Americans. Although the show is cancelled at the end of the summer, she does begin a two-year romance with costar Matt Czuchry. Bosworth also lands a small role in the movie Remember the Titans, and in 2001, defers her acceptance to Princeton to pursue acting in California. "It's interesting to think I could have gone one way or another," she later tells W. "You've got to just live your life and keep doing what you want to do."
- 2002
Blooming Romance
Bosworth meets Lord of the Rings star Orlando Bloom at a Gap ad shoot. The two become an instant couple but consistently keep their lips sealed about the relationship to reporters.
Big Crush
Bosworth gets good exposure from her first starring role as a tough surfer girl in Blue Crush. She puts on twenty pounds of muscle and learns to surf for the part. "I grew up in the Northeast so I'd never been on a surfboard," she tells Teen People. "Now I'll do it for the rest of my life."
No Rules
For her next film Rules of Attraction, Bosworth joins an ensemble cast that includes James Van Der Beek, Jessica Biel and Shannyn Sossamon. Based on the 1985 novel of the same title by American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, the movie illustrates the twisted drug use and sex lives of a group of privileged college students.
- 2003
Outside the Box
Bosworth costars in the crime drama Wonderland, a film about a real-life, multiple homicide in L.A. in which porn star John C. Holmes was a suspect. Opposite Val Kilmer, she plays Holmes' drug-using, teenage girlfriend.
- 2004
Bad Date
The actress stars with childhood schoolmate Topher Grace in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! as a small–town teenager that learns her Hollywood crush (Josh Duhamel) isn't as charming as he seems in the movies. The film bombs, bringing in just over $15 million its first three weeks at the box office.
Beyond Beauty
Bosworth plays the 1950s teenage star Sandra Dee in Beyond the Sea. Costar and director Kevin Spacey raves about her talent in W. "She was completely open, she was trusting, she f---ing delivered. I think she's going to be around for a long time." In January, Superman Returns director Bryan Singer chooses Bosworth (over Claire Danes) for the role of Lois Lane after Spacey, who plays villain Lex Luthor, recommends her.
- 2005
On then Off...Now On...
After a bumpy few months as a couple, Bosworth visits Bloom, who is filming sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean in the Bahamas. "I do know that I'm happily in a relationship, and there's nobody else I want to be with," she tells W. "We're both equally supportive of one another, which I think in any relationship makes things easier and seem less daunting."
- 2006
Superman Success?
Her first blockbuster Superman Returns hits theaters. Despite grossing $198.8 million after 10 weeks at the box office, the film is seen as a disappointment due to reports that it took an estimated $200 million to make.

Hey True Believers!
I'm baaaaaaaaack! For the month of October, I'll be doing Halloween looks for you to wear with your costumes this year! I won't be doing any awesome special fx makeup like my friends over on YouTube, but I'll be doing some more sexy/vampy/smoldery type looks based off of a few movie characters and a certain doll who I have a fondness for😉 (For a hint, take a look at one of last years Halloween looks on my blog!).
So to start things off, I wanted to do something vampy and sexy and thought Selene aka The Black Queen would be perfect! She was a villainess who was an X-Men foe and was basically a psychic vampire (she fed off the life force of others). She was a mutant and sorceress who also had the ability to raise the dead (See the Necrosha story line) along with many other abilities. She was the perfect villain to start the Halloween looks off with!
For the color of the eye, I pulled inspiration from the photo above, which has some black and red around the eye. I didn't go with the black lip (I didn't want it to read super goth, but you can totally do a black lip if you like!), but wanted to darken the corners a bit and use a deep dark red all over. I definitely wanted to do a dark, vampy, smokey eye with this because Selene just seethes darkness! It also allowed me to use the awesome Gaga lashes Faux sent me, so there will be a mini review on the lashes as well!
I hope you like!

Fire contained to office
Fire swept through a 52-year-old Volkswagen repair shop on Fulton Avenue early Monday.
View photos from scene
Sacramento Metro and city fire crews were called to Chet and Cliffs Volkswagen Garage at 2025 Fulton Avenue at 2:07 a.m.
Firefighters said smoke and flames were coming from an office area near the front of the shop.

I am considering offering fresh pasta at the bakery next month--not really a baked good, I know, but I think it will have some appeal. I have blogged about fresh pasta a few times before, and was particularly happy with the pumpkin pasta recipe. However, I have found that eggless pasta has a tendency to get mushy, or even a bit pasty (especially when you go back for a second helping). Eggs provide protein which helps bind everything together and, when cooked, give pasta its texture (at least, I think that is was happens). Running on this theory I decided to add more protein to my pasta with vital wheat gluten and see what happened. The results were exactly what I was looking for--a durable pasta that had a nice "bounce" when bitten without being too tough. I made some this weekend for some visiting guests (who make their own egg-based pasta) and they gave it their seal of approval. Next up: trying to make a whole wheat pasta.
2. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth dough (5 mins). The dough should not break apart or crack, so wet your hands if the dough seems too dry. On the other hand, try not to make it too moist. The dough should be smooth and fairly tough.
3. Roll into a log and wrap in a slightly damp towel. Set aside for 20 mins to let the dough relax. Roll and cut as per usual.

Are Prenatal Ultrasounds Dangerous?
Several questionable sources are spreading alarms about the possible dangers of prenatal ultrasound exams (sonograms). An example is Christine Anderson's article on the ExpertClick website. In the heading, it says she "Never Liked Ultrasound Technology."
[She] has never been sold on the safety using Ultrasounds for checking on the fetuses of pregnant women, and for the last decade her fears have been confirmed with a series of studies pointing to possible brain damage to the babies from this technology.
Should We Believe Her?
Should we avoid ultrasounds because Anderson never liked them? Should we trust her judgment that her fears have been confirmed by studies? Who is she?
"Dr." Christine Anderson is a pediatric chiropractor in Hollywood who believes a lot of things that are not supported by science or reason. Her website mission statement includes
We acknowledge the devastating effects of the vertebral subluxation on human health and therefore recognize that the spines of all children need to be checked soon after birth, so they may grow up healthy.
It also states that "drugs interfere… and weaken the mind, body, and spirit." Anderson is a homeopath, a craniosacral practitioner, a vegan, and a yoga teacher. She advises her pregnant patients to avoid toxins by only drinking filtered water and only eating organic foods. She sells her own yoga DVD. (more…)

Food trucks at Canalside?
That's what the Common Council will consider as part of a larger discussion about mobile vending in the city, North Council Member Joseph Golombek says.
Legislation providing for food truck permits expires April 1, and changes to district boundaries that affect truck operation and permit fees and conditions will be dealt with comprehensively, Golombek said.
"I think we're heading in a direction where things would stay similar to what we've had over the previous 18 months, except that renewal fees would be a little bit less," he said.
Legislation that would have dealt only with access to Canalside was introduced in the Common Council but won't be acted on separately from the comprehensive food truck permit legislation, Golombek said.
The Council may extend the current license terms for a month after April 1 if the new terms are not in place by then.
Licenses for food truck operators in the city start at $1,000, and food truck owners have said that's too high.
In other business, the Council will vote Tuesday on whether to allow an Owego scrap metal recycling company to open a Buffalo location at 409 Hertel Ave., at the corner of Military Road.
"I still have some very strong concerns, and I'll make up my mind by the end of the week," said Golombek, whose district includes the property.
Ben Weitsman and Son of Buffalo is proposing to spend $7 million at the former Auto City scrap yard, but concerns about traffic and noise, and opposition from business competitors and some neighbors have made the issue somewhat controversial in City Hall.
The matter was sent out of the Legislation Committee on Tuesday without a recommendation from Golombek as to whether the Council should approve it.
Golombek still has concerns about traffic but said the Council will vote on it Tuesday.
The Planning Board approved the project in February.
In other business, the Council's task force on cats is moving forward and should come up with a recommendation on controlling the city's cat population, said Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen.
Owners need not worry that the recommendations will include provisions for licensing the cats, Pridgen said as he conducted the Legislation Committee meeting.
"Stop sending me the letters from your cats," he said.

Red Top, with its char-grilled hot dogs and a great view of the lake across from its outdoor tables, has become a Southtowns tradition for generations of families.
In fact, Red Top is celebrating its 67th season this year, so the great-grandparents of youngsters who are chowing down on its perfectly grilled Wardynski's dogs could have had that same experience back in 1946.
You can't argue with success, and those dogs are awesome. They are Wardy's dogs ($2.39 plain; $2.60 with cheese or chili; $3 with both), and most people know that means that they have a slightly snappier skin and a different mix of spices than the more common Sahlen's. They can also be ordered with peppers and onions ($2.70) or kraut ($2.65).
You order and pay, cash only, at the counter, then slide a few feet to the side and pick up your food. There's an open bar of condiments off to the side where you pick up your food, with the hot sauce, for some reason, occupying a central location. Mind the labels and don't mistake it for the ketchup!
John, Pat, John and I arrived during a drenching rainstorm, not all that unusual this year. We found that Red Top can be an all-weather destination – the parking strip is close enough to the door to dash in, and the well-built roofed pavilion shelters six wooden picnic tables. There are other tables outside for days when we aren't being blessed by liquid sunshine. Multiple signs warn diners about the dog-stealing seagulls, but although a couple of shifty looking birds sauntered by, we had no problems.
The reputation of Red Top rests on its dogs and shakes ($3.25), and both of these are very good. The shakes were sweet and cold, not too thick to be undrinkable, with very few ice crystals. The chocolate had a nice chocolate flavor; the strawberry one, although enthusiastically pink, was just sweet.
We tried two other sandwiches off the grill, and both were good, although not as good as the dogs. The burger with peppers and onions ($2.70) was a flat patty topped with nicely cooked onions and peppers. The beef was plain and probably exactly what a child would want, although we found it a bit bland.
The Italian sausage sandwich ($2.65) was different from any we've encountered. The whiteboard menu explained that these sandwiches are made with two patties in a mild Italian sauce. The two long, thin patties were like the kind used to make a royal sub, lightly spiced and flavored by the topping.
The dog, burger and sausage were all served on fresh, soft rolls.
The barbecue beans ($2), which we ordered on impulse, turned out to be the star of the side dishes. Simmered in a slightly tomato-y base with a hint of smoke and studded with small bits of onion, they were delicious. By contrast, Red Tops' famous cottage fries ($1.50), which resembled crosscut, slightly thicker potato chips, were limp and unsalted, and the nachos ($1.10) paired a generous stack of plain corn chips with a minuscule cup of orange liquid cheese.
Youngsters would probably love all these things just the way they were, and there's no question that you can feed the gang cheaply and happily here. Judging from the crowd that lined up to order after the skies cleared, Red Top will be pleasing beachgoers and other seasonal hot dog fans for many more years to come.

The effect of this staging was to suggest a plausible modern analogue to the Trojan War, such as the Crimean War. HMR

Westminster's Pre-Law Program
Why Study Pre-Law?
"The Pre-Law curriculum is designed to familiarize students with a range of subjects relevant to studying law," says Political Studies Professor Chuck Tripp. "Some stress law-related thinking skills while others, like constitutional law, cover actual legal topics. These courses comprise a suggested listing only which should be helpful to students deciding whether or not to attend law school."
Why Choose Westminster's Program?
Law schools today are adopting entrance requirements that emphasize the ability to think clearly and communicate proficiently. Students must be analytical and creative thinkers as well as have an understanding of human values and institutions. At Westminster, our small classes, liberal arts foundation, and dedicated faculty will prepare you for the LSAT, law school, and give you exposure to different fields in law through class curriculum or the PreLaw Society.
What Else?
The term "Pre-Law" does not designate a specific major or preferred undergraduate program at Westminster College as law schools do not favor one major over another. While it is possible to prepare for law school while fulfilling the requirements for any academic major, it is important to take courses that are intellectually demanding and relative to the legal field in which you are interested.

Samsung Galaxy S III Review (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint)9.3

calling quality. Listening to the earpiece, there's no distortion with voices or background noise to muddy the conversation. Switching to the speakerphone, voices have some sharpness to them, but nevertheless, we're able to still comprehend voices with relative ease.
In our time using the AT&T version within the greater New York City and Philadelphia regions, its signal strength was steady at all times – with no major fluctuations or dropped calls.
Under the warmth of HSPA+ connectivity with the AT&T Galaxy S III, we're happy to say that battery life is more than adequate, as we're able to easily get a single day with normal usage. However, we also managed to use it under LTE connectivity, which quickly drained the battery like no other. Yeah, we appreciate the 50 Mbit/s speeds, but poor battery life is the inevitable consequence with it all.
Frankly folks, we have to reiterate things once again! Simply, the US versions of the Samsung Galaxy S III are still spectacular on so many levels – even despite their choice of using a dual-core Snapdragon S4 chip as opposed to quad-core. Honestly, they're still capable of delivering a rigorously paced performance that dictates them as top-shelf caliber Android smartphones. And to make it sweeter for most of the versions, they pack support for LTE connectivity for superior data speeds that the international version dreams about in its sleep.
Underneath the hardware specs sheet, the US versions of the Samsung Galaxy S III, much like its international sibling, stand out primarily for the updated TouchWiz experience that they're packing. For once, it simply feels complete from top to bottom, plus it takes the sharing functionality to a whole new level. Considering that they'll be priced at that golden price of $200 on-contract, it's going to be a guaranteed buy for many consumers.
So which carrier version should you buy? Well, that's all up to you, but if we're going to throw in some other factors to the mix, the AT&T and Verizon versions might prove to be the most bang for the buck. Why's that? Well, they both have 4G LTE networks up and running in various markets across the county, so you'll be able to take advantage of that. In any event, they're all class-leading devices on their respective lineups, so either way, it's a win-win situation for you in the end.
Software version of the AT&T review unit:
Android Version: 4.0.4
Build Number: IMM76D.I747UCALEM
Kernel Version: 3.0.8-599060-user
Samsung Galaxy S III US Video Review:
- Revamped TouchWiz experience
- Lots of easy sharing functionality
- The polycarbonate used doesn't give the impression of something premium

This phone looks absolutely amazing! I feel like I've been waiting since Christmas for this thing to become available, and the time is finally here!
13. WTHreally (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
WTF???? really the internationally version scored like 6000 points more on antutu and over a 1000 more on quadrant. The scores are more like my GS2 running on ics... Crapdragons EPIC FAILED here !!!!

my coment is classic, but your butt as a nick are as you took "epic fail"
59. Ivan6479 (Posts: 249; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Yeah them switching the processors is quite the disappointment and definitely not worth the upgrade if you have a GS2 as they come pretty close to one another if your running ICS minus some of the fun new features the GS3 has. Either way, I would hold out for the GS4, which by then should probably have a flexible display, so no need to worry about broken screens because Gorilla Glass 2 sucks. Also there is the good ole Google Glass project in the works, that could come to life within the next year or so. There really is just too many possibilities for the near future to spend big bucks on this bad boy if you currently have a GS2. I thought long and hard about it myself, but I keep telling myself I just have to be patient.
60. bruindog (Posts: 32; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Go check out the phonedog review. He talks more about comparing the two and he got higher scores as well. He also discusses the difference in fluidity between the two.
84. OMGlook (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Jun 2012)
pa clearly states that even the adreno 320 is only a little better than the mali 400 on the gs2 so...
LG-E97 adreno 320
how SAD- people who r defending the s4 with adreno 225- please put your heads down in defeat
119. IHateApple (banned) (Posts: 122; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
See GLBenchmark site! Or Engadget reviews. Adreno 320 is around 50% faster than Mali 400MP4. In GLBenchmark 2.5:
Adreno 320 = iPad 3's GPU.

It looks like a cheap plastic phone. Why can't Samsung stop using glossy materials for their phones?
30. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Samsung needs to stop with the faux-metallic design cues. I'm fine with a phone being plastic, but one that falsely presents itself as metal (i.e. the ring around the side) comes off as slightly disingenuous.
Also, Samsung should have added a dedicated camera button. The one on my Evo is a perfect "R-button" when using console emulators such as N64oid.
44. zhypher_23 (Posts: 195; Member since: 04 Jun 2012)
They can't because Apple will strike a "P-A-T-E-N-T" on them like they always do, Apple always whine about these little things.....Now you know now? :))

45. ivanko34 (Posts: 617; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
because a phone will fall on hard floor many times. if it was metal or glass it will be damaged. Plastic can fall many times without any problem.
2. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 531; Member since: 07 May 2012)
should be at least 9.7 out of 10
3. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
PA is really the only site that said this, both cnet, engadget, and theverge say it on par with the One X/evo LTE
14. WTHreally (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
r u blind the US version CRAPDRAGON sucks compared to the internation just look at the benchmarks it clearly shows which is the more capable phone
17. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
I'll just leave this here,http://www.engadget.com/2012/0
with LTE on the US version has better battery then the international version without LTE.
And here is some benchmark for ya comparing
Beside GPU the Tegra 3 is on par with the 4414.
And there is no app/game will take advantage of the extra power before most people upgrade. Hell people has yet to take advantage of the mali underclock on the SII
22. CrapdragonCRUSHED (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
Ok don't know which benchmarks your looking at but the one on engadget clearly shows the international one crushing the US by a large margin except for quadrant which I think is a typo. But also look at the egypt test where the fps was 99 vs 54. Are you seriously telling me that despite all the benchmarks this the two phones are on PAR????
24. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
kidding me? Antutu just show you that the T3 score higher then the international.
So all your score is base on the GPU not CPU, you know there is a different. Wow for someone who act like he know what he is talking about you know nothing. The nenamark test show that the both are similar. Let not look at the other two test showing that they are no par with each other.
Troll keeping on trolling. Unlike you I look at other site to see a review.
28. The1upper (Posts: 2; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
OK OK I'll settle this for u 2 engadget reports:
inl wins in quadrant (I really think this is a typo), antutu, glbenchmark, CF bench, and sunspider.
where the US version wins are mainly the bench well are from apps develope by qualcomm like vellamo and nenmark but look at the egpyt test where the intl version scored around 99 fps.
so yeah I think benchmark wise the intl def wins qualcomm isn't really known for superior gpu.
And the charts in the article clearly shows the intl out benchmarks the t3 and the s4 in antutu so where are you coming from?
121. AppleHateBoy (unregistered)
HTC One X (Source=Anandtech):
Sunspider (less is better):
AT&T: 1608 ms
Intl: 1737.7 ms
Intl: 110038
Linpack (multi threaded):
Intl: 115.842
It is not a typo. In Linpack, S4 is a hell lot faster than Tegra 3.
GLBench Egypt (Offscreen 720p):
AT&T: 56 fps
Intl: 63 fps
GLBench Pro (Offscreen 720p):
AT&T: 95 fps
Intl: 90 fps
It is not a typo. S4 variant pulls out ahead again.
But I agree with the fact that Adreno 225 is slower than SGS2's Mali-400.
39. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you really are the biggest anti-samsung pro Qualcomm troll on the boards.
The ONLY test where YOUR websites even show that the OneX comes close is on VELLAMO, WHICH IS A QUALCOMM MADE TEST TO SHOW S4'S STRENGTH.
Dude.. get a grip.
The US version is great. Its still the BEST phone in the US. Its certainly better than any barely functioning camera, HTC OneX
It just doesnt measure up to its brother international.
104. gtrxman (Posts: 122; Member since: 10 Sep 2011)
Except that in the real world, the limiting factor isn't the chip. It's that the signal is delivered by the carrier. In actual usage, the US LTE version will stomp the International version on anything that requires streaming data.
It's a shame, though, that we have to have this discussion. I still haven't heard a good reason why the US version doesn't get the Exynos. Maybe they can't produce enough to meet demand?
63. bruindog (Posts: 32; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
im all for benchmarks but if its real world functionality is kick @$$ then thats more important to me.
82. OKendruu (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
the US version kick NO @$$ notice the review says that there are some slow down and lags well... thats the s4. There was no lag for s2 with exynos and there is no lag or slow down with the s3 intl. i can assure you there will be none for the gs4 with exynos as well.
69. Endruu (Posts: 13; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
Personally judging a phone by its benchmarks is like judging a guy/girl based on their looks, and we all know how those kind of relationships turn out.
72. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
hot sex and over before your bored?
works for me.
Anyways, thats BS, because only the worlds ugliest people say "only personality matters". Truth is, we dont hit on people we dont find attractive in the way they look, carry themselves, and act. Its not shallow, its our base nature to find mates with the best features to pass on.
unless were drunk then none of that matters, they just have to be willing.. lol.
76. Endruu (Posts: 13; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
I didn't say "only personality matters", but really if we based the phone on one aspect such as benchmarking, it really doesn't help determine if the phone's overall performance.
80. OKendruu (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
See endruu if what your saying is REALLY true than go ahead and get last years phone because there are many fine phones that perform more than anyone needs. people here want the BEST- clearly you don't or don't understand. Benchmarks are there to give an idea of what the phone is capable of even if we don't ever use it in that manner. From the test scores the INTL version is clearly the more powerful phone. Please do some research before giving idiotic comments it only makes you look really st_p_d!!!!!
92. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
anything from Exynos dual core and up is going to be more than "most people" need. Its not about "need", its about wanting the MOST for my money. And yes, the benchmarks are a great indicator of that because rarely do I use stock software. I want the hardware.
102. Endruu (Posts: 13; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
I'm giving the thumbs up to remixfa for his reply, we pick the phone we want.
Clearly OKendruu wants the best, and seems awfully passionate about his views so whatever man, I was just sharing mine don't take it personally yo.
I just want something that works for me. I rock a HSPA+ GNex and it's honestly good enough to convince me that having a rock solid OS like ICS does make a difference in performance even though the Nexus is sporting older hardware.
103. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, really we OMAP4 packing device owners shouldn't be in a hurry for anything. if i were to get a Droid Razr HD it would primarily be for the larger HD Display and the 13MP Camera. the extra power would just be a little bonus.
101. Endruu (Posts: 13; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
wow, you're really angry, and that's cute cause I wasn't.

Should be much lower knowing Samsung.
4. baldilocks (Posts: 746; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
I have the International version and I think I'll stick with it.
5. Tjey007 (Posts: 86; Member since: 22 May 2012)
i think s3 deserves better score than one x. one x got some flaws apart from sd card & battery department.HTC also admitted it.
6. rsiders (Posts: 915; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
I have to admit I was hard on Samsung when they first announced this phone, but truthfully they have yet another winner with this phone. Have to give credit when it's due.
8. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
agreed. Once you get over the initial disappointment of it not having the rumored specs and design, it's easy to see that its a solid device.
47. archangel9 (Posts: 233; Member since: 07 Feb 2010)

7. avataranjie (Posts: 15; Member since: 03 Dec 2011)
Are you sure it's the same processor for TMOUS version? There are two krait s4 chips one with integrated LTE one without. Just like the HTC One XL and One s. Does the TMO version have the soC without integrated LTE radio?
9. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
You know what I don't usually troll but I have to say Samsung definitely did this on purpose.
"Certainly viewed as yet another welcomed change, the home button also activates the S Voice app by double tapping it, and it also activates the multi-tasking pane by executing a long press. "
Siri is activated with a long hold which is how they made multiasking activate on the Sgs3 and switched multitasking activation to s-voice activation method. Not to mention calling it S-voice was a shot at apple clearly meant for people to think of Siri-voice. At least they changed the clear copies of apple charging cable from the sgs2 just changed up the color to black. Samsung really wants to get up apple skin because this is just so clearly copying. Not saying the SGS3 is a copy the design is definitely distinct but these things are urking me. If the iphone is so terrible sammy why do you keep taking pages out of its book????
Troll rant over.
16. infernal88 (Posts: 113; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
well ..im not trolling or anything ..but if u had least type of knowledge u would have known that this is how multitasking works in android long ago ..and about the activation of voice assist ..i have the S2 and u can open the voice talk by double clicking the home button it starts ...so by far i have to agree with u ...i would say samsung copied the 4S 6 months perior to the release of 4S
40. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
WTF dude?
1. Multi task has ALLWAYS being like that before....
2. if you ever used a motorola device (or even CM9) you could use double tap to activate other applications, heck even some applications are well known for hacking the home button double tap feature to do something else...
49. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
This was clearly a shot at apple by making these feature activations similar. The fact they use a home buttom fine but to give its the exact same functionality not ok.
50. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
well they could use search but they dont have it... plus they already use double tap for vlingo if im not mistaken since the Galaxy S2 (ill ask my friend about it, since he has the international version) you should check whats on the S2 first
52. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
confirmed double tap on the galaxy S2 witch is older than the 4S works to launch vlingo, can you explain who is the one copying now?
53. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
it doesnt matter if android had it first, apple invents it even if they are last to the feature. u know that. ask taco. it must be true if he thinks so.
56. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
check my vlingo video at the bottom, there is something I really hate and that's someone taking shots at company X and calming they copied without the basic knowledge of that company's , this goes along with other "allegations" of android ripping off iOS ideas, he should also be mad at all the android features introduced on iOS6....
55. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)

15. WTHreally (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
yeah... where are all those IDIOTS that were saying how effin great the s4 was???? look at the benchmarks- the score BLOWS
18. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
I leave this here for ya beside CPU the Exynos crushed nothing, the Terga 3 did better then the Exynos on antutu.
You will not see the different and you say you can you are lying

i don't think so earlier review put the adreno 225 as only a little faster than the mali 400 found in the gs2. The mali 400 in the gs3 int is way faster. Better check the facts before trying to sound like a smartass

I did and the mali in the GS3 is overclock and it does well in GPU but the overall chip is on par with many other chips in the market. And for you fyi the powerVR 544 (ipad 3 and Vita) is much more powerful then the mali in the SG3.
If you testing the CPU the 4414 is similar to both the T3 and S4.
If you know the different between what CPU and GPU then you would know that.

yes the overclock mali 400 is not as powerful as the 544 but what he said about the oC mali 400 being faster than the adreno 225 is correct. there was a whole article abou this on PA not that long ago.

Columbia airport worker arrested in theft probe
City official says passengers complained about missing items from luggage
The Department of Homeland Security said it has fired a TSA airport screener who was arrested on suspicion of theft at Columbia Regional Airport.
A city of Columbia spokesman told the Columbia Missourian on Friday that airport passengers had complained about missing items from their luggage on Thursday.
The Transportation Security Administration said the unnamed worker didn't return a wallet during what it called a test.
A TSA spokeswoman noted that fewer than 400 federal airport screeners have lost their jobs for theft over the past 10 years. That's fewer than one-half of 1 percent of all such TSA workers hired in those jobs.
