The perfect way to get around with your iPad mini .. by putting the wallet and carrying case together into one functional and handsome unit, Levenger has cleverly reduced my personal tech load by one. With credit cards, driver's license and cash at hand, it's one and done as I leave for a lunch or appointment and, as with all Levenger products, it's well made and feels quite substantial in hand. The only possible improvement I could ask for is would be a pocket for my cellphone which would complete a "tech totin' trifecta."

IPad Cover
great case for Ipad mini 2
By thomasB
from Las Vegas, Nv
great price for a quality leather ipad cover. came quickly and fits my ipad mini 2 perfectly. As usual beautifully packaged and took extra advantage of 25% off and free shipping. did not have any issues as others have noted. Extremely happy and can't believe ipad owners aren't snapping these up.
Unfortunate, pungent leather smell
By CCETechie
from PA
I got this case 7 days ago and I'm still waiting for the chemical leather treatment smell to dissipate enough that I can use it. Seriously. I had to remove it from my home office while it was airing out. I'm not a big fan of leather smells, but I've confirmed that this is not leather so much as the chemical treatment.The leather is soft, but not of amazing quality (or even the great quality I'm accustomed to from Levenger). The design is ok, but I suspect, should I ever get to use it, the front cover will crease a lot.Over all this case was an incredible disappointment.
Love this Mini Ipad case very much.
By Maria07
from Sanford, FL
This leather iPad Mini case with a built-in wallet is very user friendly. Perfect case to travel with especially on the plane. Loved this Ipad Mini case soooo much I bought one for my friend. Thank you very much Levenger for such GREAT quality merchandise I am hooked to your website:-))
Excellent value
By DiamondGirl
from Cedarburg, WI
The only thing this case is missing is a place to put my stylus. I did not notice the odor mentioned by another commenter. There is a small area where the color (brown) was worn off, but I guess it will have some wear and tear soon enough anyway. The presentation when it arrived was so impressive! I felt like I had received a gift. Love being able to carry biz cards and a few bucks concealed to meetings w/o having to carry anything else. Perfect for my occupation! Very classy looking!

Spectacular value at this price. The wallet & business card feature was very handy during a conference/trade show.
Mostly Positive
By Klondike

Typical quality product from Levenger. Functionality, is lacking ability to stand up in landscape mode.Wallet function may be handy but not necessary..The mini shifts, but is substantially better than the Bomber Jacket iPad case.

A Philadelphia police officer, a personal injury lawyer, seven auto damage appraisers and the owner and the manager of a Philadelphia collision repair shop have been charged in an insurance fraud scheme prosecutors say netted them millions over four years.
The charges were announced this morning by District Attorney Seth Williams and Deputy Police Commissioner Richard Ross at a Center City news conference.
"This is not a victimless crime," Williams said. "All Philadelphia consumers are affected."

Bluestone Tavern
The Bluestone Tavern and Restaurant has a long history in the Town of Saugerties, having been the Blue Stone Country Inn, the Blue Flame and way back when it was a black smith shop. In its current incarnation, owners George Miller and Kim Matthews, along with their son Johnny Matthews look to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning a restaurant. The Bluestone holds a special place in their hearts as it served as the location of their very first date.
George grew up in Saugerties on his family farm,
along with brothers Rob and Craig, and sisters Lynn
and Lisa. George's passion for hunting is evident the
minute you walk through the door. Many will
remember George as the gunsmith behind the
Gun Shop, which he ran for many years.
Kim has over twenty years in the real estate business
and together with George operate Pine Hollow
Estates, a manufactured home community, in Palenville, NY. In her early years, Kim worked in food service at a local hospital which ultimately sparked an interest in cooking. That interest had a profound affect on her son Johnny, who also developed a love for cooking.
Johnny, while attending culinary school, worked at a country club and Applebees to gain the knowledge and skills he needed to eventually land a position at Columbia Memorial Hospital. While there, he worked in the cafateria, provided catering and developed a healthy reputation for his soups, chicken dishes and his now infamous Eggplant Napolean.
Together, George, Kim and Johnny look forward to welcoming old friends and making new ones.

Burnoutby Vrettos
Nan wakes up in a subway car the day after Halloween with no clue how she got there. She's made such an effort to get sober, to stop disappointing her family. This just isn't like her (anymore). But she can't remember what happened yesterday, and she's wearing skeleton makeup and a too-small Halloween costume. Not good. Not good at all. Nan is trying to put together the pieces, but her brain is mixing flashbacks from her previous life with the missing day. Did she really go back to her old friends and apparently her old ways? As she uncovers more and more of what happened on Halloween night, Nan begins to realize that this time she may have gone too far. She may be a walking ghost.

Daily specials: the plat du jour. Featured on Unique Eats, July2011. www.lafourchettecharleston.com.
We love to traffic in quiches, pates, terrines, mousses (both sweet and savory) and rise to the occasion.
The traditional dishes of bistro and brasserie fare are classics with perfect culinary pitch.
The French, more than any other practitioners of the culinary arts, are preservationists. They do not reinvent the food wheel.
They stick to classic mousses, and bacon has always been their larding ingredient of choice.
And their love affair with local is so faithful that chickens come tagged Bresse, the best oysters from Brittany, the best mustard from Dijon and apples, ciders and butter from Normandy.
A series of queries from our readers in search of a classic French restaurant initiated this visit to La Fourchette that opened in 2006.
The space
La Fourchette, the bistro Francais of Perig Goulet, transports us to France.
This Brittany native, who worked at Il Cortile del Re before branching out to create a place of his own, has succeeded in bringing an authentic bistro to Charleston.
From the soft glow of Grand Marnier candles to the patina of beveled glass mirrors and the tightly ordered tables, the Fork (Fourchette) feeds our insatiable appetite for practical, dependable French food.
La Fourchette plays it straight with solicitous service and authentic foods.
Place yourself in the capable hands of sommelier Kevin Kelley and allow him to pair or pour your wines.
La Fourchette, with its exposed brick wall, black-and-white patterned floor, and simple Parisian photographs, has all the trap-pings of Belle Epoque Paris.
The soulful sounds of Paris memorable Little Sparrow, Edith Piaf, surround the dining room.
Crusty Normandy Farm baguettes are served with unsalted butter and willingly replenished by friendly servers.
The food
We began with earth and surf: rustic lentil soup ($6.25) that could have been hotter but buttressed the rustic lentil flavor with sweet carrot nibs.
Coquille St. Jacques ($13) was a classic: Three large ocean scallops caramelized on one side sat in a pool of reduced cream and wine with smoky bacon lardons refreshed with shallots.
Vegetarians and others will enjoy a gateaux (cake) of grilled eggplant and zucchini ($10.50) layered with tomatoes and served with a goat cheese and leek sauce.
Steak frites ($19.50) were de riguer.
This classic french fries and steak dish derived from economy featured a hanger steak, cooked as ordered, topped with a compound butter of herbs, salt and freshly cracked pepper.
The simple side of a green salad dressed with a pungent mustard vinaigrette was the perfect partner.
A neighboring table enjoyed the classic North African couscous with lamb sausage.
Salmon en papillotte ($22) was not available, so grilled swordfish was our default. The swordfish ($23) was served over ratatouille, a revered vegetable dish from Nice.
The blending of eggplant, zucchini, onions and red and green peppers has as many versions as France has to dress an egg.
Chef Kyle Yarbroughs version is big chunks of vegetables bathed in a tomato and herb sauce.
The fish was remarkably fresh and cooked pink. I like that in salmon, but for swordfish, I would go more for medium, so have that conversation with your server.
Goulet features his mothers go-to Sunday supper dish: hache parmentier ($19) think shepherds pie topped with a puree of potatoes and Gruyere cheese.
A daily special of rabbit was very tempting (MP) as was the pork in mustard sauce ($19), so a return visit is in order.
We passed on tarte Tatin, classic crepes with lemon and ordered the profiteroles ($7.50, four to a serving).
Brittle profiteroles are filled with vanilla ice cream and anointed tableside with warm chocolate sauce.
Do indulge.
The service
The team of Goulet, Yarbrough and Kelley has pitched the flavors well of classic French bistro cooking.
This is the cooking of and for family and friends.
And with airfare to De Gaulle airport in Paris running more than $1,000, well, when the urge for the flavors of the City of Light strikes you, know that the Holy City can fill the bill.

Photographic signs promoting Berwick could soon be seen on the A1 approaches to the town.
The Department for Transport is currently consulting on changes to traffic signs regulations.
Berwick Town Council and the tourism forum have welcomed the idea.
The aim is to let local authorities promote the historical and geographical qualities associated with particular areas.
Such signs are already commonplace across much of continental Europe, advertising castles, cathedrals and places of interest.
Councillor John Robertson, chairman of the council's environment and regeneration committee, said: "I think they would be great for attracting more people to our town."
He suggested they would be best placed a mile or so from the town to give drivers time to decide if they want to visit.

The findings reported by Correll and colleagues1 in this issue of JAMA are both timely and sobering. Prior treatment-naive youth (N = 272), aged 4 to 19 years, gained substantial weight during a 12-week period of clinician's choice treatment with atypical antipsychotic medications aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, or risperidone. The mean weight gain across treatment groups ranged from 8.5 kg with olanzapine to 4.4 kg with aripiprazole. More than half gained more than 7% of their total body weight. Significant abnormalities in lipid profiles and other metabolic parameters were also noted, especially with olanzapine. Comparison patients had minimal changes in body weight and lipid levels over the same period.

When Should Boys Use Public Restrooms Alone?Lori Garcia
There are many things MOBs (moms of boys) know all about: the art of distracting a young son in the women's dressing room while we discreetly try on clothing, the importance of expending pent-up boy energy before going inside a restaurant, and challenges of getting a boy to pee inside the toilet of a women's restroom.
But what happens when bringing your son into the women's restroom begins to feel…weird?
Around the time Boy Wonder began protesting his admittance inside the ladies' restroom, I began getting what I perceived to be "looks" from fellow ladies saying, "Hey lady, your kid is too old to be in here." Perhaps we was, but at 8 and 9 years old was my son really too old to occupy a stall in a women's public restroom? Personally, I don't think anything of a young boy with a female guardian in a public restroom. I mean, what's there to see? A tampon machine? If we're all just behind stalls searching for purse hooks and flushing the toilets with our feet, what's the big deal?
But Boy Wonder thought it was a very big deal which is why he was granted what I considered to be premature bathroom independence at age 9.
I worried like every mother about my son's personal safety while using a public restroom alone. I'd stand outside the door; innocuously press my ear to the bathroom wall while nervously watching males of all ages exit the restroom in eager anticipation of my son. What a rollercoaster of emotions all on account of pee, my God!
Now, at age 11, I'm finally comfortable with Boy Wonder using public restrooms in department stores and restaurants, but admittedly still insist on bathroom supervision when it comes to answering nature's call in public parks, rest stops or crowded stadiums.
Perhaps we could all just relax a little when it comes to accompanied boys in women's restrooms as age has little, if nothing, to do with situational safety.
When should boys use public restrooms alone?

This list of equipment is intended to give you an idea of what the studio is like. It is a general description of equipment and may change before your session. The equipment used by your class will be determined by your instructor and will be appropriate to the techniques covered in your class. Students are welcome to bring favorite personal hand tools for use in the studio.
Supplies and Materials
Shared supplies such as inks and solvents are available in the studio and are normally included in your summer tuition. An additional studio fee will be assessed in classes that use a large volume of these supplies or require special materials. You will be notified in advance if a studio fee greater than $50 is expected. During concentration, shared supplies are not included in tuition, therefore each class will be assessed a studio fee based on all shared materials usage. You are responsible for bringing other supplies needed for individual work. Printing matrixes such as zinc, copper, wood, linoleum, and plexi plates will be sold through the studio or store as per instructor request. Please refer to your instructors material list for specific materials needed for your class. Rags will be supplied for solvent use and must be disposed of in one of the studios marked flame-resistant cans. In order to reduce waste, paper towels are NOT provided, so please plan to bring 3-4 cotton towels for your personal non-solvent use. If you feel the need to use paper towels, please bring enough rolls for the duration of your session.
The school maintains a comprehensive hazardous waste program and asks that you limit the materials you bring to campus to those classified as non-toxic. The material must be in its original packaging. An environmental fee will be assessed for classes generating hazardous waste. In order to limit the hazardous waste generated in the studios, we cannot allow students to bring toxic materials outside of the class supply list into studios.
Toolkits are NOT provided in printmaking. Please
refer to your instructor's material list for specifics about
personal tools needed for the class.
Printmaking classes are held in the new Paul Hayden Duensing studio building. The main classroom is equipped with intaglio and litho presses, a hot plate, a rosin box, a plate cutter, inking slabs, paper soaking sink, a flammables cabinet, a graining sink, and several worktables. There is a separate ventilated acid room with hood ventilation, vertical etching trays, and a spray booth. The building also houses a screen washout room and small darkroom for coating, exposing and drying screens. The maximum class size is 12 students.
Student Workspace
Students work at individual worktables that are
30" x 60" with lockable cabinets. Each workspace is
equipped with clamp-on lamps and padded chairs.
Safety Information
A first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, eyewash station, and safety shower are located in the studio. There is a mandatory safety walk through at the beginning of every class. The walk through is to introduce you to the studio space and to show you the safety equipment. North Carolina Health regulations do not permit Penland to provide safety equipment for shared use. Therefore, items such as dust masks, respirators, gloves, and aprons are sold in the supply store. You may prefer to bring your own from home. Please refer to your instructors material list for specifics about safety equipment needed for the class. Flameproof cans are provided to collect hazardous waste, such as rags used with mineral spirits or other solvents. In addition, there is an estimated $10 hazardous waste removal fee per student to cover the costs of safely disposing of ink and solvent waste. Alcohol is not permitted in the studios. Working in the studios under the influence of alcohol is not permitted. The use of illegal drugs at Penland is prohibited.
Shared Studio Equipment
Shared space/music: Each class should discuss the playing of music and reach a consensus on the time of day, the volume, and the type of music to be played. Tolerance and consideration are expected from everyone.
If you wish to use equipment in other studios on campus during your session, you must work with the instructor, studio assistant, and coordinator of that studio to arrange access. They will determine if the desired usage is compatible with their classs activities and if you are able to work safely and independently with the equipment.
Session Schedules
Each session starts with an all-school meeting Sunday evening at 5pm followed by dinner in the Pines. Classes start Sunday at 8:30pm. Classes end and studio clean-up takes place the day before your session ends. The last day of each session is reserved for farewells and an all-school exhibition of work created during your time at Penland.
Everyone must participate in studio clean-up; if you must leave early, please ask the studio assistant to assign you clean-up tasks you can accomplish before your departure.

Prosecutors will try Monday to show that there is enough evidence for a former McLoud teacher and her former professor to be tried on child pornography charges.
Kimberly Crain and Gary Doby are expected to hear the evidence against them in court Monday. Crain is charged with taking lewd pictures of nine of her third-grade female students at McLoud Elementary and sending them to Doby.
Prosecutors say Crain also instructed some of the girls to Skype with Doby while in their underwear. Doby lived in Pennsylvania at the time, but was later extradited back to Oklahoma.
Investigators say Doby and Crain met years ago when she was a student at Oklahoma Baptist University and he was a professor. Both Crain and Doby face life in prison if convicted.

Age: 17
Residence: Wilsonville
Grade/School: Senior, Wilsonville High School
Sport: Boys basketball
Coach: Chris Roche
Highlights of the season: "One of my favorite memories from this season so far is our game at Sherwood. We were short-handed because a couple guys on the team had the flu. Even though that was the case, we still showed up and actually played our best game of the season. By playing tough defense and being patient on offense we overcame an early 10-0 deficit to win by three."
How I got started: "I started playing basketball at a very young age. I naturally gravitated towards basketball because of my dad's love for the game. I can remember receiving a Fisher-Price basketball hoop for Christmas. I spent days playing with that hoop, and it was really what sparked my love for the game."
Family of athletes? "My dad played basketball and golf at Lake Oswego High School and then continued to play golf at the University of Oregon. My sister played volleyball throughout her high school career at Wilsonville High School."
Coach's advice: "No matter how you are playing, do not let it affect your attitude. Just keep playing hard and encouraging your teammates."
Favorite part of sport: "Being able to play every day with my friends and succeeding or failing together."
Favorite meal the night before the big game: "A big bowl of spaghetti with Ciabatta rolls and some fruit."
Offseason? "I also play soccer and was a first-team all-league defender."
Rules to live by: "No matter what you do, always remember to have fun."
Hobbies: "One of my favorite hobbies is Frolfing (Frisbee-golfing). It's a nice activity that some of my friends and I like to do during the summer."
On his iPod: "I have a nice mix of R&B, hip hop/rap, and even a good library of oldies."
Books on his nightstand: "The Sky Fisherman," by Craig Lesley, "Calculus: Concepts and Contexts," by James Stewart, and "College Physics (AP Edition)." I love myself some good textbooks."
The one thing someone may not know about him: "I sing in the shower. It gets boring if I don't."
What's next? "I plan on going to college and either becoming an engineer or studying sports business and marketing."

LG G2 mini with 4.7 inch screen coming?
0. phoneArena 09 Dec 2013, 20:30 posted on
These days, almost every flagship phone has a companion mini model. And the LG G2 purportedly won't be the exception to the rule. According to a published report, an LG G2 mini is in the works, although it could have a different name by the time it launches. The screen on the mini version of the device is expected to be 4.7 inches as opposed to the 5.2 inch panel on the full-sized model...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. alterecho (Posts: 1098; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
Oh, so 4.7 inch is mini now?
4. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
I was about to say the same.
It means iFruit is mini micro device :p
7. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
So weird, isn't it?
But anyway, things have been getting bigger. After getting the Galaxy Mega 6.3, I find my 4.7" phone (BLU Life Play) pretty "mini" because it is perfect for one handed use and I've never had trouble reaching edges and corners. The LG G2 has very very slim side bezels, so that's expected on the G2 Mini which will then makes it even "minier"
But then again, It's gonna be so weird to see the word "Mini" on a 4.7" device officially. It should be named something else xD
13. orca99 (Posts: 87; Member since: 05 Oct 2013)
A 4.7 inch can be mini as the latest thin bezel design allows a 4.7 inch screen to be fitted in a 4.3 inch phone body.
16. R-vjn (Posts: 178; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
that's the point..!
14. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
haha my thoughts too +1
22. JC557 (Posts: 1520; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Heck pretty recently 4.3" was considered mini. Of course with the slimming down of the bezels I could see how 4.7" could work to be a slight mini (lookin' at you Droid MAXX).
35. AppleHateBoy (unregistered)
Here's what I want: A G2 which is 135 mm tall, 73 mm wide and 9 mm thick. Everything should remain same. The power button must go on right side, volume on the left, top and bottom bezels must be symmetrical and it should come with KitKat.
36. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Yes. Since the Moto X is probably smaller than the Xperia Z1 mini and the HTC One mini is like huge.
Just think about it. The G2 is the same size as the HTC One. This thing is going to be smaller than the Moto X with a 1080p 4.7 inch screen. Its going to own your iPhone 5s handily.
38. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
i think the difference no is that although the screen is large the actual device itself is not due to smaller bezels. example the moto x is 4.7'' but is very close to the size of the iphone 5/5s. so considering how small the bezel on the g2 is, i would guess the bezel on the mini will be small too so there for the device will be close to the size of the iphone 5. here is the size comparison of the 4.7'' moto x and 4'' 5s. size are very similar so yh so you can get away with calling a 4.7'' device mini depending on bezel size.
2. taikucing (unregistered)
next year the meaning of mini will be 5" lol..
I still remember the day when 2.9" display was considered very big.
3. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Long long long ago...Apple trie to get you to believe samll was great, but now they will soon try to get you to believe big is greater. I never liked small screens, because I can't see them as well as large screens Duh......rolf
6. taikucing (unregistered)
I still can't hold this "mini" version in one hand lol
9. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
I can, and my neice in the 12th grade has a Note 2 so men you all better man up! Damnnnnnnnnnnn lol
12. taikucing (unregistered)
people sometime take sarcasm seriously lol
25. JC557 (Posts: 1520; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
It's because people do make serious posts like that. Plus the comment has to be dripping in sarcasm before being picked up as such on the internet.
As a side note, "men" should not be wearing their ex-girlfriend's jeans as a fashion statement these days.
5. 14545 (Posts: 1537; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
If it has an SD slot and 3k battery, I would buy. Are you listening LG? I would buy my first LG device if you would make this phone with the two above requirements.
8. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
either it will get pretty thick, or it will get gigantic bezels xD
10. 14545 (Posts: 1537; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
Not really. Although, if it has to be thicker, then so be it. I would rather thick and usable, if I have to have a sealed battery, or a removable battery. If it is anything less than 2500 mAh, then I would need a removable.
11. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
I know right. I would rather have a thicker phone with a bigger battery, too. However, all companies now want to impress people with the thinness of their devices. Most people loves the thinness, too, so having a thick but usable phone is almost impossible.
(The Moto G is quite thick and battery life appears great, but the thickness did not open way for a big battery)
23. JC557 (Posts: 1520; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
I don't mind if the device ends up being 9 - 10mm. It makes the phone easier to hold instead of these super thin phones that only become comfortable to use when in a case.
I would settle for a 2500 - 2800 mAH battery in the G2 mini. As long as the camera remains the same I would highly consider one. It would be an immediate buy if the casing was a satin/ rubber finish and not a slick piece of plastic.
31. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
I personally believe the battery will be 2460 MaH. LG, loves that battery size on their midrangers or smaller devices. But with LG's poor scripting and a S800, expect terrible battery life at that size. If I were LG, I'd opt for 4.7 inch 768x 1366 screen and a S600. The S600 is very capable still and doesn't sacrifice on battery. It still can provide top shelf performance on a less than 1080p screen.
15. R-vjn (Posts: 178; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
Well, for the 5.2" G2 a 4.7" will be close to its mini form, afterall thats half inch smaller.
But also keep in mind that, LG always had minimum bezels so this 4.7" will be having a really small body.
17. exxperian (Posts: 21; Member since: 07 Dec 2013)
if 4.7 inch is mini then what you called Apple 4 inch iPhone micro?
21. E.S.1 (Posts: 297; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
A toy phone lol
24. JC557 (Posts: 1520; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Gotta admit, the iOS7 icons do convey that feeling.
26. Killertech2099 (Posts: 148; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)
Dang Apple better step up, They got a lg g2 mini 4.7? It's almost the same size as a galaxy s3. Iphone might as well be micro, they better stop toying with them girly icons and expand the screen.
27. singertat (Posts: 8; Member since: 10 Dec 2013)
I hope it´s going to be with 4,7" screen :-) I would buy it, in a heartbeat
28. Stagueve (Posts: 55; Member since: 11 Feb 2013)
Dat OLD rumor... twitter.com/stagueve/status/405236962023329792
29. euklidis (Posts: 29; Member since: 08 Oct 2013)
I do not think so
30. ed_harris (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Dec 2013)
Mr Techblog once again steals rumors from others. Just like the failed Galaxy Note 7 rumors. We've seen him in the past. Now he possibly thought that LG is the only company with no mini flagship. So he called his imaginary friend to be his sources! Failed once again!
32. BaffledTruffle (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Dec 2013)
This would probably be a sweet deal if it comes with a S800 processor (even an S600 would be nice). And a 4.7 inch would still be considered a "mini" if it fits in a 4.3 inch body. It would probably cost not much 'cause the G2 in my country is still the cheapest flagship device as of now (The GS4 is still pricier).
My main problem would be the updates. I know LG doesn't have a good track record on this.
33. tasior (Posts: 265; Member since: 04 Nov 2012)
Mini versions are too big for me. Waiting for micro series...
37. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
The galaxy S4 mini is tttttiiiiinnnnnnnyyyyy. Stop judging size by the screen size. That method doesn't work very well anymore.
34. Desmund (Posts: 74; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
Maybe the 4.7 screen will be a stronger selling point for those that don't like the OG2(Yeah I tried I know), but 4.7 isn't my definition of mini.
I'd call my now old Atrix 4G a mini phone if anything think it was no bigger than 4.0 inches far as screen size.
39. Jericho (unregistered)
4.3 or 4.5 inch would have been better.
42. DIYEyal (Posts: 5; Member since: 22 Oct 2013)
Sony Z1 compact. 4.3" 720p with snapdragon 800 and 2300mAh..
40. COZMAN (Posts: 99; Member since: 28 Nov 2013)
Just sell the phone as it was designed. It is awesome. Small would defeat the purpose of having a large viewing area.
41. DIYEyal (Posts: 5; Member since: 22 Oct 2013)
4.7" 1080p IPS with thin bezels (around moto x size) with flagship specs, I'm buying instantly!!!

I'm not sure that I truly get into a holiday state of mind each December until DJ Riko releases his annual Mixmas compilation, a blend of seasonal cheer, novelty and desconstruction that only a savvy crate-digger and platter-spinner could produce.
But this year, DJ Riko's given me a double-shot of joy: his 2012 Mixmas includes a track from "Christmas With the Ghostly Trio," a 1980s delight that I once owned on cassette. Riko nestles the Trio's saxy take on "Angels We Have Heard on High" between Devo's "Merry Something to You" and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' "Hava Nagila (Christmas Arrangement)," followed by the Nat King Cole rarity "Mrs. Santa Claus." »Read Full Blog Post

Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History...Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Incidentally, I didn't even care for the two or three video montages they played while "P" and Ashly sat there. What cheap filler, meant to manipulate us into trying to feel "the hole in our hearts where P once was". And those montages were put together to make it seem like such a wonderful progressive story. Only thing I see is him now treating her with a tad more respect, having gone to Utah.
As for Jerry Rice - he went the extra mile and took ballet lessons and LOOK at the difference it made!
When it comes to dancing there's talent and there's effort. If you don't have one, you'd better have TONS of the other!
Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History...Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
My greatest joy today came when I was sitting in the audience of Nanny McPhee, waiting for the film to start, and a woman 5 seats down from me started to fill in her friends on last nights result show. She said, "And that dreadful P is finally gone!", bringing forth shouts of joy from her daughters and friends.
I so wanted to join in on the conversation but didn't want to encourage the wrath of Nanny, for being "impolite"!
Still crazy, after all these shears
"lambikins, put the crack pipe down and back away from the keyboard." Unklescott
"lambikins... I have come to the conclusion that you are the Jedi Master of the Kitchen on FORT!" SuperBrat
"...each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one." - Mitch Albom, one helluva writer.
When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know which one you hit by the one that yelps!
Finally he's gone! That was a joke that he lasted that long. George Hamilton will be next and then Jerry Rice, but that's just my prediction.
P may not have natural talent but his arrogance about the whole thing is what annoyed me. You cannot say he wasn't arrogant, especially in the last show and then trying to promote his CD....he is an all aorund loser.
No pity from me because he came in at the last minute, if I believed everything I heard, my poor head would kill.
He put 0 effort into this and didn't care one bit about being there and it showed. regardless if the guy could dance or not, he could have showed some compassion for Ashley.
I didn't know him before all this and I don't want to know any further info about this guy. I lost all respect for him with his loser attitude.
In fact, this whole topic has gotten boring!

The Educational Information and Resource Center (EIRC) is proud to announce that Kellman Brown Academy in Voorhees Township and Three Bridges Elementary School in Readington as this year's recipients for the NJ Green Ribbon Schools (GRS) program.
On Monday, Jan. 27, the NJ Green Ribbon Nomination Committee identified these two schools to be nominated for both state and national recognition. Twenty New Jersey schools sent letters of intent that they would be submitting applications for the 2014 GRS recognition, but only nine actually submitted completed applications. Each state is permitted to nominate up to four schools, which must include a private and at risk district.
A key element of the recognition program in New Jersey focuses on comprehensive and demonstrative achievement in the three US ED-GRS Pillars. A comprehensive approach incorporates environmental learning with improving environmental and health impacts.
Emphasis and attention is placed upon successful practices that lower operating costs and improve student academic success. In addition, the existence of a Green Team, Green Strategic Plan, and benchmark measurements that have assisted the school in demonstrating their achievements, is factored into the final scoring.
"The importance for schools to begin to see sustainability as a means of financial and academic success cannot be emphasized enough in these times of severely restricted budgets and global climate change impact," said EIRC is the sponsoring and managing organization of the 2014 Green Ribbon Schools program. This program is the first comprehensive federal policy for schools related to environment, health, and education. This year's NJ state nominees will be formally recognized and presented with a plaque by Assistant Commissioner, David Corso, at the 32nd Annual NJASA/NJAPSA Spring Conference.

Black Diamond Primrose AL
Having used unisex harnesses in the past, the longer…
Price Paid: Gift
Having used unisex harnesses in the past, the longer rise is very nice. The waist belt actually sits around my waist instead of around my hips. I like the adjustable leg loops. I can add a few layers in cold weather with no problems. This harness is fairly comfortable for shorter sport routes. Anything longer, and the harness tends to make my back go numb. I'm also not a big fan of the molded plastic gear loops. I feel they don't fit quite as much gear on them as I would like. All in all though, a nice, inexpensive, functional harness.
Where to Buy
Black Diamond Primrose AL
currently retails for:
$41.21 - $54.95

The International Law of Occupation in Light of the Iraq War
Jordan E. Toone
Latham & Watkins LLP
ILSA Quarterly, Oct. 2012 (Vol. 21:1), at 35
This article provides a brief introduction to the international law of occupation, with particular emphasis on how and to what degree the occupation of Iraq influenced the international law of occupation. Although the law of occupation and, in particular, the conservationist principle, were considered part of customary international law prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it is unclear today whether states, acting in the capacity of an occupying power, would still feel legally bound to conform their occupational activities to the traditional law of occupation, or whether they would follow in the footsteps of the U.S. and engage in a more transformational occupation.

Grizzly attack mars Idaho bowhunt
Gary Detwiler was doing what every good hunter would do, helping his hunting partner track an elk.
The pair made their way through a rugged section of Idaho, near Island Park in the extreme northeast corner of the wide base of the state.
With the vast wilds of Beaverhead National Forest to the north and Yellowstone National Park to the east, they were hunting in the area of the Targhee National Forest, which sits on the continental divide, near the point where Montana, Wyoming and Idaho meet.
Henry's Fork Caldera, created by some of the same internal fires of the earth that sculpted much of Yellowstone, is a dominant feature in the region, as is Mount Jefferson, which shoots more than 10,000 feet toward the sky. Numerous trout streams cut threads through the craggy hillsides of the area, while forests blanket those slopes and spread down to wide, grassy meadows.
This is elk country, and that is why Detwiler, a 67-year-old hunter from Michigan, was there.
But if it's elk country, then that also means it is very likely grizzly country, and that's how the tables turned on the two hunters.
His bowhunting partner, James Kindy, had shot a big, 6-by-6 bull elk just before dark on the third day of their hunt. Not wanting to push a wounded animal, the pair decided to return the next morning to track the elk
They picked up the blood trail upon their return to the area and moved across a fairly open area with a few clumps of small pine trees scattered about. When they approached a brushy area, Detwiler thought he saw the downed animal.
"At first glance, I figured I was looking at the bull elk," Detwiler said. "But I didn't see any antlers, and then a fraction of a second later, all I saw was ears and teeth. I was maybe 12 feet away and that grizzly jumped on me in a flash."
The bear bit into his arm in the bicep area and pierced his ribs. As quickly as it struck, the grizzly returned to the cover of the group of trees.
"I don't know if the bear was just bedded down in that area and it reacted to us being there, or whether it had picked up on the elk coming by there the night before," Detwiler said. "All I know is there was absolutely no time to react. You read about how fast these bears are and you hear about it, but you can't imagine what the experience is like. You think you are going to die. Their speed, for an animal that big, is really amazing."
Grizzly bears can reach more than 800 pounds, yet have bursts of speed up to 40 miles per hour. They eat just about anything -- roots, berries, grasses, insects, fish, carrion, and many mammals, from small rodents to full-size moose and elk.
After Detwiler was attacked, he and his hunting partner had a four-mile hike back to their truck, and then about a 20-mile drive to the nearest medical clinic in tiny Ashton, Idaho.
"It was bleeding, but not bad enough that I didn't think I could make it," said Detwiler, who has been hunting that area for nearly two decades.
After Detwiler's wounds were cleaned and sutured, Kindy returned to the site where they had been tracking the elk, and continued the search with the help of a couple of local hunter. They did not find the bull elk, and they were not certain if the grizzly had claimed it or had just used the area to bed down.
Wildlife officials chose not to pursue the grizzly right away, since they determined that its actions were likely defensive in nature, either to protect the elk carcass or its territory. Warning signs were posted and patrols in the area increased to let other hunters or the public become aware of the presence of a grizzly.
Detwiler, who has been bowhunting for nearly 50 years, tried to continue to hunt, but found it was too difficult to draw his bow with his arm injured. Now back at his home in Midland, Ohio, Detwiler said he will have to spend some time mulling over the destination for his next bowhunting trip, given what he sees as a dangerous increase in the grizzly bear population in the Idaho-Wyoming-Montana wilderness triangle.
"There's more grizzlies there than before -- people are afraid to go outside, and they can't hike and they can't bike and most of them won't risk it hunting the area," he said.
Grizzlies are protected by federal law in the lower 48 states, where they are designated as a threatened species. Estimates put the grizzly population in the lower 48 at about 1,200, with more than 30,000 in Alaska.
"I'll have to think about it, but I'll probably go back since we've had such good success there," said Detwiler, who has put a couple of his trophies in the record books. "I'm getting older, so I've let more big ones go than I've shot in recent years. I still like to hunt them, but it's getting so I don't like to shoot them as much."

Blue Angels grounded from Ocean City Air Show
Navy cites budget cuts
The Navy's Blue Angels are one of the biggest draws for the Ocean City Air Show, but they're not flying this year.
The Navy's flying team is known to take their talents over the beach and boardwalk in a performance that seems to get increasingly exciting every year.
This year, officials with the Navy confirmed earlier this month that they're canceling the remainder of the elite daredevil pilot's 2013 season because of federal budget cuts.
Despite losing a headliner for this year's show, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan said he's not concerned.
"It's just such a wonderful experience. They are going to bring in a harrier, which is a very big draw and a very important type of aircraft. So, we're going to do what we need to do to make it still be a fabulous show," he said.
A harrier is an aircraft that moves up and down by itself, almost like a spaceship. This year's air show is set for June 8-9.

California Weighs Contingency Loan as Debt-Limit Turmoil Looms
California is considering seeking a bridge loan from Wall Street ahead of an Aug. 2 deadline for raising the federal debt ceiling, in case talks fail and send the bond market into turmoil, Treasurer Bill Lockyer said.
Proceeds from the loan would be used to help pay the state's bills until Lockyer can sell an estimated $5 billion of so-called revenue-anticipation notes, or RANs, scheduled for late August. Without those notes, the state could run out of cash as it did in 2009, when it issued $2.6 billion of IOUs.
President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress are scrambling to work out an agreement to boost the legal debt ceiling. The Treasury Department has said the U.S. will reach the limit of its borrowing authority on Aug. 2. Lockyer said a U.S. default would wreak havoc on credit markets at the time California plans to borrow the money.
"We are hoping to get our borrowing done before Aug. 2," Lockyer told reporters following a speech yesterday in Sacramento.
A failure to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt limit would lead to a "major crisis" and throw "shock waves" through the financial system, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said yesterday at a House Financial Services Committee hearing.
Moody's Investors Service put the U.S. under review yesterday for a credit rating downgrade, adding to concern that political gridlock will lead to a default. The company warned it may lower 7,000 ratings on $130 billion in municipal debt backed by U.S. Treasury or other federal securities or repaid with federal money such as Medicaid grants and economic-stimulus aid if the U.S. loses its top rating.
Federal Payment Delays
Lockyer said he's concerned about the possibility of federal delays in Medicare subsidies and other payments to California and about long-term reductions in U.S. aid to states. A default, he said, could prompt the federal government to prioritize payments to states that would affect California's cash flow.
"The ripple effect on state and local finances is very substantial," he said. "Depending on how long the delay was, you might have a cash-flow hit. Of course, the budget negotiations might result in reduced payments to the states. There's two kinds of worry."
California has used bridge loans before. It borrowed $6.7 billion from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and five other banks in October when a record 100-day budget impasse prevented Lockyer from issuing RANs.
$10 Billion Sale
The state paid 1.4 percent on the loan, which was repaid when Lockyer sold $10 billion of RANs at the end of November. The state took out a similar $1.5 billion bridge loan in August 2009 after an impasse then forced the state to issue IOUs to pay bills.
Yields on RANs have plunged along with Treasuries. One-year, tax-exempt note yields fell to 0.31 percent last week, according to a Bond Buyer index, down from 0.64 percent a year earlier and 3.71 percent in 2007, before the recession.
The new bridge loan would be repaid by the RANs, which the state would pay off when the bulk of taxes is collected later in the year.
Lockyer sold $10 billion of RANs in November, including $2.25 billion of notes that came due in May with a yield of 1.5 percent and $7.75 billion that matured in June at 1.75 percent.
Those May notes yielded 98 basis points, or 0.98 percentage point, more than top-rated one-year debt at the time and the June notes yielded 123 basis points more, Municipal Market Advisors data show. California sold $8.8 billion of such notes in September 2009 and $5 billion the year before.

Experts: Train Employees Not To Snoop; Fire Those Who Do
Patient-record snooping is inevitable, but with the advent of electronic health records (EHRs), it took "a new twist," says Kate Borten, CISSP, CISM, president of The Marblehead Group.
"The fact that e-records can be accessed from anywhere is both a blessing and a privacy and security curse," Borten says.
Borten says facilities should consider not only blocking access to PHI for employees who don't need it, but also to have strict policies and penalties in place for those who snoop at patient records.
Says Borten: "Today the standard approach–after technically blocking access from those who don't need it, of course—is to have a policy prohibiting snooping and sanctions for violations, workforce training that makes this crystal clear, and then follow-through with technical and manual auditing and disciplinary action."
Patient-record snooping grabbed headlines Tuesday, May 4, when Huping Zhou, 47, of Los Angeles became the first person sentenced to prison for misdemeanor HIPAA offenses for accessing confidential records without a valid reason or authorization, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Central District of California.
United States Magistrate Judge Andrew J. Wistrich sentenced Zhou, a former UCLA Healthcare System employee who admitted snooping at patients' records, to four months in prison.
Zhou admitted to illegally reading private and confidential medical records, mostly from celebrities and other high-profile patients, the federal California attorney's office said in a release.
Jeff Drummond, health law partner in the Dallas office of Jackson Walker LLP and author of HIPAA Blog, says Zhou's sentence and another six months ago serve as "object lessons" for the industry.
A federal judge on October 26, 2009, sentenced a doctor and two former hospital employees to a year's probation; they admitted to snooping at the records of Little Rock, AK, TV reporter Anne Pressly, who was murdered. Pressly was found severely beaten in her Little Rock home on October 20, 2008, and died five days later.
"I think the Pressly case, followed by [Zhou], are definitely intended to be 'object lessons' to make an example and scare others," Drummond says. "I agree with that strategy."
Last October, U.S. Attorney Jane Duke said in a statement she hoped the Little Rock snooping sentencings "send the message that the HIPAA protections apply to every person in the community, regardless of their position or stature. Likewise, the penalties for violating HIPAA apply equally to every person with access to protected health information."
Drummond says organizations need to sniff out snooping themselves, and fire people to scare the rest of the staff. He suggested to even "perp walk" violators off the premises.
"I'd even recommend 'honey pots' to basically trap snoopers," Drummond says. "Make sure they are trained, but if they snoop, fire 'em. Even if it's entrapment."

All three of our cats, neutered males, love brown paper bags, but, only if they are alone with the fancy. None tolerate each other or us. Only the digs continue to not exist.
Cardboard Queen
In her kittenage, before we adopted her, Bagheera was a deli cat. I don't want to psychoanalyze an animal with a brain the size of a walnut, but Bagheera loves cardboard boxes. She will lie on them for hours—unless we do something silly like pet her or notice her. Then she'll go sulk in the corner.
