Arteries carry blood from the heart to all areas of the body and, when healthy, have a smooth lining that promotes blood flow and helps to prevent blood clots. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a condition in which fatty deposits (called plaque) build up along the walls of the arteries that carry blood to the arms and legs. This is also known as atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. The arteries slowly narrow and may even become blocked, affecting blood circulation, especially in the legs and feet. The February 1, 2006, issue of JAMA includes 2 articles about PAD. This Patient Page is based on one previously published in the September 19, 2001, issue of JAMA.
Painful cramping of the leg or hip muscles during walking, in some cases severe enough to hinder walking, that stops during rest; or numbness, weakness, or a feeling of heaviness in the legs with no pain
Cooling of the skin in specific areas of the legs or feet
Color changes in the skin, particularly in the arms or legs
Toe and foot sores that do not heal promptly
Burning or aching in the feet and toes while at rest and particularly while lying flat (this is a sign of more severe PAD)
Smoking is the number one risk factor for PAD and will interfere with treatment of the disease. Individuals with PAD should stop smoking completely because even 1 or 2 cigarettes daily can affect treatment.
Older age is a predictor for PAD—it occurs more frequently in those individuals 60 years of age or older.
Diabetes is a significant risk factor for PAD. Individuals with diabetes should keep strict control of their blood sugar to avoid serious problems resulting from PAD.
High blood pressure
High cholesterol levels
Tests for PAD include comparing the blood pressure in the ankle with the blood pressure in the arm. Measurement of ankle blood pressure is assisted by a Doppler device, which amplifies the sound of blood flow.
Your doctor can test you for PAD and recommend the best treatment to stop or even reverse the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Individuals with PAD should quit smoking, exercise regularly, and eat a healthy diet low in fat and salt. Medications to control high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and blood clotting are often important.

Ginger root tea?
Most likely this is gonna just be one of those time heals all wounds issues.
I know it was stupid to fall off the wagon, but I indulged in some sugary treats over about a two week period. I traveled to to a family wedding and I wasn't diligent about avoiding gluten (ate cookies and even a doughnut...bleck!).
I've been primal for over two years. I never imagined I'd fall off so hard (I don't mess around much b/c I have hashimoto's).
I'm back into my paleo routine. I did okay while cheating (surprisingly), but I feel icky now in that I get bloated very easily and am tired. Now I know why I stay so strict...I hate to feel bloated!
I'm drinking a lot of water and thought about IFing, but not sure I want to do that at the moment.
Mostly I'm looking for relief from tummy bloating. Any tips?
Ginger root tea?
Most likely this is gonna just be one of those time heals all wounds issues.
You are probably right. I'm sure this all "feels" bigger than it really is.
I think exercise is helping quite a bit. I am also resting and lounging a bit more.
I prefer to be moving and doing, but it may just be that I have to submit to this and learn the lesson.
Digestive enzymes?
I have heard that it takes the body 6 weeks to completely process and break down any gluten ingested. You might be groggy for a while, sorry to say.
Stumbled into Primal due to food allergies, and subsequent elimination of non-primal foods.
Start Gluten-Free/Soy-Free: December 2012; start weight 158lbs, Ladies size 6
Start Primal: March 2013, start weight 150lbs, Ladies size 6
Current: 132lbs, Ladies size 2
26lbs lost since cutting the crap.
If you are celiac, I know it takes me a month to quit having horrible heartburn. This is just from cross contamination, since I'd never knowingly eat wheat.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm feeling better at this point. Just have to get back to my regular diet, which is very much primal.
I don't have grogginess. I just wanted to go to sleep a lot so that I could "sleep away" the bloated feeling and just not have to deal with it.
Time and my usual diet seemed to be the remedy.

You know Garfield and Heathcliff and Top Cat and Sylvester; the Cheshire Cat, Felix, the Aristocats, and Catbert, but hundreds more cartoon kitties exist in TV land — many of whom you may not have ever met.
Ambrose — "The Robber Kitten."
Banjo — "Banjo the Woodpile Cat."
Furrball — "Tiny Toon Adventures."
Oggy — "Oggy and the Cockroaches." Oggy is France's answer to America's Garfield. Oggy, however, does not rely on a human counterpart like John to ensure that he's fed. Instead, the content, overweight blue cat can most often be found watching TV, cooking or doing housework. The only thing that prevents him from being fully satisfied in his everyday life is a trio of cockroaches — Joey, Dee Dee and Marky — who work together to make his life a living nightmare. In February 2005 an Oggy and the Cockroaches video game was released for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance.
Mittens — "Bolt." Disney's 2008 film "Bolt" tells the tale of a dog who is a television star; but Mittens, a street-smart New York City alley cat is memorable as the feisty feline who serves as Bolt's sidekick on his trek back to Hollywood. Known for bullying helpless pigeons out of their grub, Mittens schools Bolt on how to survive on the streets by playing the role of a cute but needy character to get food. Along the way, she begins to reveal bits of her own past — including the fact that she was abandoned by her owners.
There is never a shortage of fictional kitties for the cat lover to indulge in; all it takes is a bit of searching. Erika Sorocco is a freelance writer living in Southern California. Her work has appeared in numerous publications both nationally and internationally.

And you forgot Figaro from Disney! Most people in their mid to late 20's remember Figaro as being Gapeto's cat from Pinocchio but later on, in Disney, he turned into Mini Mouse's cat.

Two years after the publication in Philadelphia of Saunder's work, there appeared the first text-book by an American writer, George Frick. We owe most of our knowledge of this pioneer of American ophthalmology to our distinguished colleague, Harry Friedenwald. I quote from his interesting contribution to the Johns Hopkins Hospital Bulletin for August-September, 1897, "The Early History of Ophthalmology and Otology in Baltimore."
Frick was born in Baltimore in 1793. After obtaining a broad classical education he entered the University of Pennsylvania, where he obtained the degree of doctor of medicine in 1815, and in 1817 he was admitted as licentiate of medicine into the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland. He then spent several years abroad, returning to Baltimore about 1819 to engage in the practice of ophthalmology. He was appointed surgeon to the Baltimore General Dispensary, where he established the first Eye Dispensary in Baltimore, in 1824. In

I think it's more about switching your customs. For example, if you were switching from Islam or Orthodox Judaism, you'd eat pork when offered or some ****.

Y'know, Islam really is supposed to be a religion of peace. Al Qaeda is basically the Westboro Baptist Church of Islam. It just took a much stronger hold of that particular religion.

Why does everytime Islam is mentioned in a negative light, someone comes up and says "Al-Qaeda doesn't represent Islam" WE IT DOESN'T YOU DONT HAVE TO ******* TELL EVERBODY ABOUT IT EVERY SINGLE TIME, it's just a streotype deal with it.

Pink Ladies enjoy Christmas gathering
Members of the Pink Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion Hospital in Crowley on hand for the group's December meeting and Christmas celebration were, from left, Verna Simon, Sylvia Dischler, Mary Briley, Dean Gaspard, Gloria LeBlanc, Lorraine Mire, Lou Cormier, Leisa Thibodeaux, Evelyn Barousse, Nettie Romero, Thelma Istre, Roberta Sonnier, Leora Amy.
The Pink Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion Hospital changed their usual meeting place to celebrate an early Christmas at the home of Evelyn Barousse.
The group held its monthly business meeting prior to enjoying a Christmas luncheon and gift-swap.
President Gloria LeBlanc led the meeting. Lou Cormier, chaplain, led the volunteer pledge, prayer and Pledge of Allegiance. Secretary Roberta Sonnier called roll and presented the minutes of last month's meeting. Nettie Romero gave the treasurer's report.
The president reviewed several matters, reminding the Pink Ladies that the days before and after holidays are normal work days for them, and that she should be advised whenever a Pink Lady is admitted to the hospital as a patient.
Leisa Thibodeaux reported that the Pink Lady application for Ella Istre had been returned, and the name of Georgie Prather was submitted by Leora Amy and approved.
Lou Cormier led the blessing before meals and the business meeting was adjourned.
Barousse's lovely home was tastefully decorated with many seasonal arrangements.
The ladies gathered around the dining table and exchanged "pink" elephant gifts before enjoying a "finger food" meal consisting of sandwiches, dips and chips, sausages and an array of tempting desserts.
The next business meeting of the board will be held on Monday, Jan. 6, 2014, at 9 a.m. in the conference room of the American Legion Hospital.

Oceans Day Celebrates People and Oceans
8 June 2013: World Oceans Day was celebrated on 8 June around the theme 'People and Oceans.' The Day is an opportunity to raise global awareness of the current challenges faced by the international community in connection with the oceans.
In a message delivered to mark the Day, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon underlined the urgent need to increase action to reverse the degradation of the marine environment, noting that oceans are "integral to all of humanity" and highlighting their role in food security and climate regulation.
Irina Bokova, Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), emphasized that World Oceans Day is "an opportunity to recognize this and to undertake to protect the oceans, where life began and on which our future depends."
The UN Division for Oceans and the Law of the Sea (UNDOALOS) organized various activities in observance of the Day.

We've written a couple of times about the Steelers' penchant for going for two instead of kicking PATs this year, and Thursday night's game against the Ravens presented a few new wrinkles for the "kick it or go for it" decision matrix. There was a lot going on in this game, but the most interesting was four 4th down…

New York Jets quarterback Michael Vick had some kind words for embattled Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, who could very well end up with New York in the draft. Here's what Vick had to say, via NJ.com:
Here's a story on how Michael Vick has paid off an extraordinary amount of debt over the last five years—more than $15 million of the $17.8 million he owed creditors upon declaring for bankruptcy while in prison on dogfighting charges. It's a window on Vick's responsibility—which has, by all accounts, been…
The New York Jets have been nothing short of flaming dog poop this year. The quarterback situation has been an especially vital part of the circus act. It started back in training camp, when coaches were upset that Michael Vick was content with his backup role at quarterback. As our Samer Kalaf put it then:
Buttfumble chanteuse Mike Tirico came into tonight's game expecting to see Michael Vick behind center for the Carolina Panthers. We don't know why!
Hey, a Jets highlight. Michael Vick isn't dead yet! Watch him burn the dregs of his youth as he clowns Steelers cornerback Brice McCain on a run.
Are dog ghosts haunting Michael Vick, causing him and the Jets to be cursed? Let's ask Tony Dungy this oddly specific question.
Marcus Vick was critical after the QB replaced Geno Smith in the first half, but he's still optimistic.
Jets backup quarterback Michael Vick did a dumb thing this week when he kinda-sorta admitted that he wasn't all that prepared to play in the second half of the Jets' 31-0 loss to the Chargers on Sunday because he didn't take his weekly scout team reps seriously enough.
Sheldon Richardson has a message for Jets fans clamoring for Michael Vick to replace Geno Smith: "Shut up." Good message. [NJ.com]
It was Michael Vick who publicly jumped to Riley Cooper's defense after the Eagles receiver was caught on camera using racial slurs. The QB spoke out in favor of forgiving Cooper at a time other players were saying they had lost all respect. "We had guys talking about knocking him out, taking his head off," Vick tells…
Today's Michael Vick is obviously not 2006 Michael Vick, but the Jets picked him up in an attempt to push second-year quarterback Geno Smith to suck less. Then, they told Vick they were going with Smith, barring a disaster. Believe it or not, the 34-year-old Vick accepted that he'd be a backup, and Jets coaches are…
Last Friday, Michael Vick signed a one-year deal with the Jets. He'll be 34 by the time the season begins. The following is excerpted from Deadspin's Big Book of Black Quarterbacks. This entry is written by Kyle Wagner.
On the heels of the news that the fumble of the Buttfumble has been released, the Jets have signed Michael Vick. Adam Schefter says it's one year, $5 million. The timing of the announcements (Friday evening, in the middle of the NCAA tourney), and their quick succession, make you wonder if the Jets want one or both of…
There is a stupid thing in the New York Times today, which if read aloud in the proper cadence would sound quite a bit like a warmup oration for a tar-and-feathering. It's about Michael Vick, of course, and it argues that no team in the NFL should sign Michael Vick, for the sake of the children.
Vick's re-injures injury in return from injury: Michael Vick re-aggravated his hamstring against the Giants, and his return's questionable. Matt Barkley has taken over for the Eagles.
It's an unexpected defensive showdown in Philadelphia, as the Cowboys lead the Eagles 3-0 at the half. Nick Foles is starting for the injured Michael Vick (and would probably be starting for a healthy Vick too). Though Vick recommended starting Foles in fantasy football this week, he's just 11 of 23 for 80 yards. So…

2015 Conference of the Northeast Modern Language Association
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
30 April-3 May 2015
The preconceptions and social constructions that society has about neuroatypicals are brought to light when one considers the recent increase of such portrayals in popular media. Mental illness occupies a curious space in our collective consciousness, one sometimes marked by fear and fascination, by stigma and stereotypes: 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' is a prime example of this. Because popular culture depictions of mental illness frequently misrepresent the challenges facing those with neurobiological differences, honest and psychopathologically-aware portrayals play a crucial role in raising our collective consciousness. A review of recent offerings suggests a welcome change: while media traditionally has reinforced stereotypes, a series of thoughtful depictions ('Homeland' and 'Silver Linings Playbook,' for example) perhaps is indicative of a shift in the industry, reframing preconceptions of both mental wellness and mental illness and destigmatising those who suffer. 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,' 'The Dark Side of Innocence,' 'Prozac Nation,' and 'Born on a Blue Day' are just a few texts amongst a myriad of works, nonfiction and fiction alike, that are making great strides in raising public awareness of what it means to be neuroatypical. Most significantly, this indicates the fledgling beginning of a paradigm shift rivaling that of the changing attitudes regarding heteronormativity, and one can only speculate that this may lead to a similarly nascent acceptance of neuroatypical diversity in contemporary society.
This panel will explore the ways that popular culture depicts those with differently-wired brains. From bipolar disorder in Homeland and Silver Linings Playbook to the rising popularity of spectrum-focused autopathographies, how popular media portrays and marginalises madness and other neuroatypical manifestations can tell us a lot about the relationship that society has with illness and, ultimately, what we value in ourselves and in one another.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama has signed legislation that elevates homosexuals to the class of citizens that enjoy special protections under the law.
It's landmark legislation for gays and opponents fear it will create legal troubles for Christians.
With a flip of his pen, Obama added gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people to the list of Americans granted extra protections under federal law, taking a step closer, he says, towards a more perfect union.
"We must stand against crimes that are meant not only to break bones, but to break spirits. Not only to inflict harm, but to inflict fear," Obama said at a White House reception for prominent gay activists.
Bishop E.W. Jackson, with Exodus Faith Ministries, joined CBN News to talk about how the hate crimes law might affect Christians. Click play to watch, following this report.
Despite added language meant to strengthen free speech protections for Christians who preach biblically held beliefs against homosexuality, many Republicans fear it is not enough.
"Whatever language they added has an escape hatch and we know from experience at the state level and around the globe that this represents a real infringement of the freedom of religion, freedom of expression of Americans," Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., said.
The controversial legislation passed after Democrats attached it to a vital, must-pass $680 billion defense bill that includes raises for American troops.
Under the new law, the Justice Department can step in if it determines states or localities are unwilling or unable to prosecute alleged hate crimes.
"No one in America should ever be afraid to walk down the street holding the hand of the person they love. No one in America should be forced to look over their shoulder because of who they are," Obama said.
The president says more than 10,000 crimes have been based on sexual orientation over the past decade.
Opponents say there are already laws on the books to punish those crimes and that the new hate crimes expansion will do little to prevent violence against gays.
Instead, many predict, the new law will land Christians in jail.
"If you aid, abet or induce in the commission of a federal crime, you're guilty of that crime," Pence said. "Someone could preach a sermon out of Romans Chapter 1 about sexual practices and if someone was inspired by malevolent intent in some way to go out and commit an act of violence that pastor, that minister, that priest could be held liable under current federal law."
Pence predicts the legislation will end up in court.
Meanwhile, the new law puts Obama back into good graces with the gay community after some members complained the president was dragging his feet on issues important to them.
[Editor's Note: An earlier version of this text incorrectly identified James Byrd as a gay man. He was an African American lynched in 1998. His murder, along with that of Matthew Shepard, who was killed for being gay, inspired the hate crimes legislation. Relatives representing Byrd and Shepard were in attendance at the bill's signing Wednesday.]

Vardalos, Corbett reteam on comedy
Nia Vardalos and John Corbett will reunite on the bigscreen for the first time since "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in romantic comedy "I Hate Valentine's Day," which Vardalos wrote and will helm in her feature directorial debut.
Production is set to begin June 23.
Lakeshore Intl. is repping international rights in the Cannes market.
Blue Star Entertainment's William Sherak and Jason Shuman are producing with My Bench Prods.' Madeleine Sherak. David Hutkin and Vivian Tarn's ICB Entertainment is fully financing.
Described as a comedy for the romantically challenged, "Valentine's Day" revolves around a romantic, carefree florist who charms a commitment-phobic restaurant owner into trying her theory of "relationship-less" dating.
"I am so happy John jumped in and really look forward to working with him — and kissing him — again," Vardalos said.
"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" remains the most successful platform release of all time, grossing $241.4 million domestically and another $127.3 million internationally.
Vardalos recently wrapped production on "My Life in Ruins," also starring Richard Dreyfuss, Harland Williams and Rachel Dratch. Corbett will next be in theaters with "Baby on Board," starring Heather Graham, Jerry O'Connell and Lara Flynn Boyle.
Lakeshore Intl. is also selling international rights to MGM's remake "Fame."

2.5 GHz Asian HTC One M8 wipes the floor with the US version, tops a graphics benchmark
0. phoneArena 26 Mar 2014, 05:48 posted on
The difference in benchmarking scores between the 2.3 GHz US/European version of the HTC One M8, and the 2.5 GHz Asian one, turns out to be quite significant. The US/European version scores 29431 points on AnTuTu, for example, while the first benchmarks of the Asian variation are pouring in, and they clock 35964 points on the same test...

LOL.. benchmarks mean nothing. You could easily say a lot about 5422 as well. AT this point, we are talking of arbitrary numbers which mean absolutely nothing.
17. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
see thats the power of EXYNOS A15 which destroys the S801 at 2.0 ghz and that PAPASMURF says that S801 is BETTER AND IS MORE POWERFULL
what a dime a 2,5ghz vs 2,0ghz cpu
if benchmark means nothing using the s3 to s4 i felt a big diffrence in speed and graphics
from ip4s to ip5 there was a big diffrence, so how can you say it dosent, and thats coming from a wise inteligent person you
20. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
the exynos is a battery hog and has perfomance issues(stutter, lag, ect...) papasmurf is pretty well informed. besides, benchmarks mean nothing when real life usage is acually terrible
26. rd_nest (Posts: 1593; Member since: 06 Jun 2010)
For a 30-yr old, you sound very bitter.
Enjoy yourself!

29, my friend 29
32. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
thats not to blame Exynos but to blame A7 CORTEX
so when inteli7 is more battery hog than i5 no ones complaining about drainage and power consumption, people are much enjoying it.
real life usage is terrible cause of big little not cause of a15
so what phone are you using?
are you telling me that the s4 and using the s3 there is no diffrent? antutu on s3 scores 9000 less than the s4 and people have noticed the diffrence
sad delusional you are, well your giving credit to intel i3 than not giving i5
what kind of rubbish info is that
are you telling me people who drive ferrari porsche bmw5 series and amg merc sl500 care about running out of petrol after 150 miles then need to refill, no they dont give a dam cause they have power and torque they drive those car and buy cause of power,
they sacrafice extra mileage to less mileage to feel p[ower
so thats what the diffrence is when you say battery hog there are many who dont give a piss about battery
and what 15% more drainage than s801 what its not that it wont last half a day your telling me it would last 2 hours when browsing
49. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
correct me it i'm wrong but arent the 4 a7 cores part of the chip? werent they supposed to save the battery life and help performance?ok buddy
52. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
if those a7 were not deployed and had 4xa15, lags what lags, you would open apps and other resources in an instant, no matter what you through at it, it would breeze thro.
56. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
they clocked them at 1.3 to save battery life. if they clocked them higher batterylife would have been worse with a performance boost that probably wouldn't have been noticeable and if it was just the 4 a15s....
need i go on?
58. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
also they have a quad core a15. its called the tegra 4, and guess what? it's a whole lot worse when it comes to battery life
29. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
How nice of you to mention my name.
First of all, the 801 is technically better since it supports LTE and is a lot more efficient on the battery. Need I say more? The difference is scores is not noticeable in day to day tasks, except in gaming. Granted the 5422 performs slightly better than the 801 (hexa core vs wuad core GPUs) but as soon as the 805 or 810 roll out, QualComm will have the major advantage. The 801, as you said, and I quote, "still running old A9," which is technically not true since it's just QualComm's own in-home design. To match the power of a true quad A15 (and also A7) is pretty damn stellar is it not?
I can easily counter your argument by saying Nvidia Denver. You'd lose instantly, but thanks for playing.
33. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
IF SCORES mean nothing to you why did you buy the note3? why didnt you buy the old note1, which is 2 years old with 2 years old specs and is slower than the note 3. if antutu is BS to you note 1 scored 10000 vs note 3 35000 are youy tellling me that when you use both you wont tell any diffrence...
37. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I bought the Note 3 to upgrade from my S3. The 13MP camera, bigfer battery, Adreno 330GPU, full HD screen, improved S-Pen and LTE. Noe does all that sound like a worthy upgrade to you?
QualComm doesn't want to make a true A15 chip when what they're doing is working pretty damn well for them. If QualComm has the brains to design and make a true A57 64-bit chip, I'm pretty sure they're smart enough to have the capabilities to make a A15. Thanks for pointing out the A9 and A15 argument. They do that and still achieve speeds that match the A15 5422. Give credit where it's due instead of sounding like a blind hater. Go research the goal behind the Snapdragon 800/801/805 series and come back to let me know what you've learned.
Btw, stop using caps lock. No one wants to get the impression you're yelling over your keyboard.
41. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
im not hating on snapdragon, but saying s805 and a9 is outdated and slow for me, cause im a power user
quallcom can not do anything better to the a15, cause a15 runs on 9wats which almost needs a fan to cool the cpu down, unless they use 22nm process or even better18, or 14nm
qualcom has an a53 in progress not the 64bit a57
only samsung and apple have the soc right know
snapdragon relys and believes in standard typical users while apple and samsung believe in power
qualcoms aim is efficeny and less battery drainage,
exynos swift a7 is all about power
34. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
WOW no one wants to give credit to A15 but the a9 is better pathethic
snapdragon till 2014 dont and does not have the brains to make an a15 arm cortex, still a9
in home design is they took a9 and took half of a15 and mixed it up to make a overclocked a9 a15
qualcom took a15s half of infrastractre and used it on the A9 no dam wonder its not a battery hog its 4wats vs 9 wats
18. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
rd,nest so just imagine the 5422 was clocked as the same as s801 2.5ghz what would it score 44000....?
39. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Yeah it would probably score that high, but like PapaSmurf said, battery efficiency and LTE, 2 big hitters in the processor area. Most people don't look at how amazing their processor is, they look at how the phone performs, battery life, and yet again LTE. If all of that works fine on a built-in-home A9 cortex im pretty sure that they're going to stick with the method that is cheaper and more efficient.

when i drive a car ile drive a car ile drive bmw m3 not a slow s801 bmw 328
s805 is 328
a15 is bmw mpowe m3
people who drive m3 dont give a toss about petrol , these are A15 USERS
people who drive bmw328 worry about everything being ok like s805 efficent and petrol saving

thats true s801 has an all in one chip which costs much less than fine EXYNOS

Benchmarks mean nothing but the iPad Air crushing the crap out of the iPhone 5s despite having a higher than 1080p screen shows how much a .2 ghz increase can improve performance.

I believe Benchmarks doesn't really show a devices performance. Performance should always be judged on the basis of real time usage. Benchmarks can be cheated and won but that doesn't mean that the device is the best. The Nexus 5 scores low on benchmarks but in real life conditions it can put the competitors in shame.
just me 2 cents. No offence to anyone.

Nexus 5 is amazing doesn't put competitors to shame.
I've been using the Nexus 5 since it came out and my bro in law just got a Galaxy Note 3.
That thing is just as fast as a Nexus 5.
6. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
yeah with like 2-3 times the specs of the nexus !
well not that much but better specs!
10. wildfiregt (Posts: 167; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Note 3 and nexus 5 have same GPU and CPU. Same resolution, performance should be the same. That's not astonishing
27. medicci37 (Posts: 1278; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
Actually the Note has a faster version of the 800
7. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
thought of rooting it and make it even more faster by 25% more
16. Jishnusur (Posts: 74; Member since: 07 Oct 2013)
That is what my point is. Note 3 scores more than double on quadrant. So does that mean its faster? No its not. The note 3 lags sometimes and i have seen it.
19. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
get rid of touchwiz and replace a plain vannila custom rom and you will see the diffrence, the lesser the specs and features the more lighter and more RAM is avail the faster and better it will preform
touchwiz is heavy and needs lots of resource to push
simple analogy
22. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
not everyone has the desire or the know how to root their phones. truth is, no one should really have to. if someone roots their phone for performance or features, then that means that it should have been like that from the beginning
21. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
even ip5s lags
no phone is perfect and lag free unless you root
yes my note 3 has no LAGS, why ile tell you
note3 Exynos 5420 non LTE A15 CPU
custom rom and kernel
overclocked from 1.8 ghz to 2.5ghz
raised voltage current settings higher
vmheap tools raised
vector points raised
cpu govenor set to performance mode, your n3 is ideling on ondemand
gpu raised playing games at 65fps
cpu threshold raised
the diffrence is amazing and much faster
23. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
and the battery life is almost non-existant

do you understand what im trying to say
ive lost 2 hours of browsing than the standard s801, but i dont give a toss, i know its way much faster
59. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
yeah i get it they'll get you to the same place but one leaves more gas so you can go somewhere else

The speed difference of Exynos and 800 is literally small. The S800 actually out performs the A15 raw speed, but matches the Exynos Octa in graphics. This is according to benchmarks which you love so much but prove nothing in real world test.
45. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
so how the hell in other terms will the intel i3 beat the intel i5
the dam s801 needs to be clocked at 2.5ghz to get the same performance clocked on the e5422 at 2.0ghz
what is wrong with you
its like you will start of driving 5 seconds befor me leaving me behind 5 seconds, though i still catch up with you instantly cause the a15 has more pulling power TORQUE to catch up
you talking nonsense know to cover up and make delusional facts knowing u lost the dispute
you even said qualcom dont have a a15 soc yet on production still working on it, what working on a a53 which is a a7 cortex not a15
51. spiderpig2894 (Posts: 588; Member since: 10 Jan 2012)
The Note 3 Exynos can't even do 4K video capture, heats up easily when using the camera for long and other heavy apps, the lack of LTE and late updates. Even though Exynos (unlocked) is a Samsung product, the SD version (unlocked) gets the updates earlier. I should have bought the SM-N9005 (SD800).
55. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
wow is it that hot that your fingers will burn or melt, it only heats up, put a cover on, blame samsung for using cheap rubbish plastic that when cpu heats up and makes the plastic hot, they shouldve used polycarb 4 layers of plastic than a flimsy bent plastic
to have an LTE on the Asain version it would cost samsung another 30 dollars for LTE and broadcom wifi socs. 3g DCHSDPA PLUS is the same speed as 4GLTE 42MBS Looks like you have unlimited 4G pric plan, even 10GB 4G is expensive, do you download a lot?
updates what is 2 or 3 months gonna harm, makes no diffrence, its not that the kk4.4 to 4.5 has a big diffrence, if its KLP5 then yes .
it has no 4k, but when you scale in down to 1080p the digital process shows more clarity on the EXYNOS, why cause the gpu and cpu
11. Finalflash (Posts: 3107; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
No, they have their place. They show the pure theoretical performance and that is fine so long as that is all they are taken for. Aside from that, general smoothness and everyday performance is now the same for all devices, only the deluded actually think otherwise. The only difference being down to personal preference, some demand instant results while others want smooth transitions. For that, we have our different OEMs and their different tastes.
4. zachattack (Posts: 621; Member since: 31 Jul 2013)
Uh did the m8 suddenly get capacitive buttons orrrrrrrrrr
12. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Yeah, what? Apparently the Asian model actually makes use of that huge lower bezel.
5. shox22 (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
There is something wrong. The international M8 scores between 35-37k in antutu, so the same as the ac.
Graphics also can´t be better because the ab AND the ac version both clock with 578mhz
8. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
it could be that they have raised the GPU up by 50MHZ extra, you can clock these GPU to 760mhz for better graphics and more FPS
57. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
It seems phonearena gota a phone that is termally throttled and have some issue. In other sites the HTC One (2014) scores 37000 on Antutu and 25000 on Quadrant.
So they must have a slow performing unit. Bad luck for HTC...
13. kaikuheadhunterz (Posts: 1157; Member since: 18 Jul 2013)
One of the reasons why I am proud to be Asian :)
28. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1431; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
Ye having a phone that has a better clocked cpu than the European and USA one should make whole Asia proud while the millions of other REALLY important reasons that Asia has as a plus dont matter.
61. kaikuheadhunterz (Posts: 1157; Member since: 18 Jul 2013)
1) I was joking
2) I clearly said it is ONE of the reasons
14. gelullabarr (Posts: 7; Member since: 12 Dec 2013)
What is happening to you, Daniel P? all version of HTC One M8 will score over 35700 in Antutu, please don't make benchmarks on demo units, you will just give wrong information to the readers.

Infidelity by Lizbeth Dusseau
When Heinrich finds his wife, Anna, sleeping with another man, he throws her out and Anna's world takes a sudden tailspin. She's lost without a dominant man. While Heinrich moves on to a new submissive lover, Anna searches for a new master. At the instigation of a friend, she seeks out a mysterious dom, Lowell Lockhart, for the strict slave training she's never had, but has always hungered for. On his secluded estate, Lowell subjects her to the most exacting rituals, breathtaking punishment and discipline. Anna soon loses herself in Lockhart's deviant world—trained to submit unthinkingly as a pony-slave, serving wench, and the willing plaything for Lockhart's many friends. In the end, she's ready to serve any master's bidding.

Ingredients for a perfect Fred Meyer night
A pair of comfortable walking shoes
Several decks of cards
Several close friends (can be replaced for your entire wing, or your entire dorm)
Several topics to discuss
An i pod (in case you run out of things to talk about and games to play)
A list
An idea of where things are
The ability to meet new people
A pillow or lawn chair to sit on
Something warm
Strong arms
A good eye for deals
A small side note: the comfortable walking shoes can be replaced with a bus ride, but that will require at least five more servings of patience.
Describing Fred Meyer to a Californian like myself is simple enough; imagine a classy version of a walmart with a bit more food, most of which is organic. To describe Fred Meyer night to anyone who is not enrolled at OSU is a near impossibility, but I will do my best.
As my entire wing of McNary headed of to Fred Meyer I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I figured there would be a few people waiting in line for sub par deals for things nobody wants. So as we meandered down King Street three hours before we were allowed inside Fred Meyer I had low expectations for what the night would bring. My fellow freshman and I talked about what the night would bring and as we arrived at Fred Meyer there were no more then twenty people in front of us and our hopes were high. And then the waiting began.
We played cards, we talked, we played more cards, and we talked some more. Slowly but surely people were filling in behind us doing much of the same thing. You could tell the upperclassmen from the underclassmen because the freshman lacked things to sit on, other then the concrete, while most everyone else had chairs or pillows to sit on. Yet the line did not seem to get any longer behind us. If anything there were more people in front of us as people let their friends and their friend's friends cut in line. Still it did not seem appropriate for us to be at Fred Meyer three hours early. As the night wore on and the entrance time arrived the noise level grew and grew until it was indistinguishable sound. And then the doors opened.
As the creaky gates swung outward the mob of people in front of us, which had started out as ten people, but had grown to at least one hundred people due to cutting, rushed forward and I was taken along for the ride. With my arms trapped at my side and the smell of thousands in the air we flooded Fred Meyer with whoops of joy and of excitement. Upon entering we were given a raffle ticket and a page of coupons. As I looked down at the coupons I realized that these were no ordinary deals, and I felt the sudden urge to buy more pairs of jeans because they were twenty percent off or more electronic gizmos because they were ten percent off. As I perused the aisles of Fred Meyer twangs of guilt racked my stomach as I saw all the deals that I was passing up. Fred Meyer had instilled in me a sense that I had to take advantages of these deals and if I did not then there was something wrong with me. It was at that point that I realized the power Fred Meyer held over me fellow classmates and myself.
The only thing better then the amazing deals was the copious amounts of free food. Pizza, chips, monster energy drink, five hour energy drinks, kiwis, apples, and even when you were all done shopping and you walked outside and you gazed upon the line that wrapped around Fred Meyer twice; you suddenly appreciated those three hours you spent waiting in line because now you could go home while they were forced to wait for their turn inside Freddie's. After that moment of total bliss a worker standing beside several shopping carts full of bags handed you a bag and said "thank you for shopping at Fred Meyer" as they handed you more free things. In that euphoric moment as all things seem possible and nothing is beyond your grasp, you stand in awe at the power of capitalism and Fred Meyer. The walk back was uneventful. As was the time I spent unpacking and fawning over my free treasures. That night our dorm stayed up late, as if I was Christmas and none of us dared to fall asleep for fear that we would walk up and this amazing night would be naught but happy dream.
These next section had no place in the blog, yet I feel it is a key part of the Fred Meyer experience. While waiting in line and inside Fred Meyer and even later that night, in their delusional state people say things that are truly out of this world and yet describe parts of the night. Here are a few of the quotes that I heard and remembered. If you heard any more, or had one you made up please add it to the comments section.
Fred Meyer Quotes:
"Standing in line for Fred Meyer is just like a high school dance"
"Hey what did you do last night?"
"I went to Fred Meyer and had a pretty awesome time"
This quote I used myself and heard several times throughout the time following Fred Meyer night. Fred Meyer is more then just a time to buy things for cheap it's a social event. Sure you could go out that night and do other things, but the following day the most exciting thing people can talk about is Fred Meyer.

•Marine group jumps back into Charleston in-water event•
A state trade organization for the boating industry once routinely hosted a major show in the Lowcountry.
But the last one was 2007, and by all appearances it would seem, "That ship has sailed."
Well, not so fast. The festival is back, according to the South Carolina Marine Association. After a six-year gap, the association will sponsor the 2013 edition of the South Carolina In-Water Boat Show. The event will take place April 12-14 on Daniel Island.
In backing this year's show, the association said it is reviving an event it owned and operated from 2000 through 2007.
The more than-15-year-old group describes its primary goal as "providing economic, environmental, legislative and educational support to the recreational boating industry and boaters of South Carolina."
It cited burgeoning boat sales for the move to again sponsor an in-water show in Charleston. Boat manufacturers and brokers in South Carolina and throughout the Atlantic region agree that times have changed since the last event hosted by the organization in 2007. There's a surge of interest and sales of watercraft, the group said.
"We are thrilled to bring back the boat show in 2013," said Suzi DuRant, executive director of the S.C. marine association. "It is the right time and we have a very enthusiastic collection of exhibitors and sponsors."
She also said the group is pleased to work with Daniel Island Co. "to offer a brand new environment with green space along the Wando River to present exciting marine exhibits on land and in the water."
The show will take place at Daniel Island's Waterfront Park, where River Landing Drive meets the Wando River.
Complementing the existing city of Charleston dock will be 1,000 feet of portable floating docks and spud barges, the group said. The complex will be able to handle an array of motor and sailing watercraft.
Ticket holders can peruse the docks and tour boats on display. Meanwhile, there will be dozens of boats on land, boatbuilding displays, fishing simulators, boating and fishing demos, live music, local food and a children's area.
For more information, visit www.scinwaterboatshow.com.
•Taking council•
Car shows and cruise-ins occur all year in greater Charleston, but spring through fall is the peak season, and Saturdays are a popular date.
Sometimes, the schedule can be so busy that shows overlap. Car enthusiasts have to choose between events or try to zip from one show to another.
The concentration of car fests among other things has generated talk of forming a local auto council.
Ron Hansen, president of the Deep South Mopars S.C. "Low Country" chapter and member of two other local car clubs, is taking steps to see that the idea at least gets a full hearing.
"In talking with several other area club presidents, the idea for starting a car/automotive club council for the Charleston and surrounding Low Country areas has been brought up," he wrote.
"We would like to invite ALL car/truck/motorcycle club presidents or club representatives in the Low Country to have a get together and see if this would be something they wanted to participate in and any ideas they might have," he said.
The meeting has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15 at the Sonic Drive-In, 660 College Park Road in Goose Creek.
For more information or questions, email Hanson at email@example.com.
This 1955 Ford F-100 fronts a row of vehicles at the Lowcountry Travelers car show Sept. 29, 2012, at the Walmart parking lot in Mount Pleasant. The date was a busy one for auto enthusiasts with at least three major car shows (Jim Parker/Staff 9-29-2012).×

A "Night of Hope," recently offered by Houston megachurch pastor Joel Osteen at the North Charleston Coliseum, was an evening I will long remember.
It was a remarkably organized evening of the highest production quality. Our parish Deacon Mark Barna, Father James Bozeman from Beaufort and I were treated with the most generous hospitality.
We were invited to meet Joel and Victoria Osteen (and Joel's mother, Dodie), at a pastor's reception. Father James had a warm conversation with Joel, who stood to my left, and I enjoyed five minutes of similar conversation with Victoria — speaking about Charleston, and Australia, and teenagers. Dodie was a delightful woman who shared personally with us about her miraculous healing from terminal cancer. (She was given three weeks to live 31 years ago.)
This was quite congruent with one of Osteen's later-in-the-evening teachings: "Your test will become your testimony."
At a follow-up dessert and talk on Monday night, one new friend asked me, "Did the evening impress or depress you?"
I answered this way: What I learned at the "Night of Hope" falls into three categories: those teachings that are notably Christian; those that, in my mind, need a little clarification and adjustment; and others that, as I understood them that evening, are not actually a part of our Christian inheritance.
Osteen emphasized many traditional Christian points including, "Our God is the God of those who have blown it."
The Lord God as Christians have always understood him, is precisely this. Jesus himself said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
One contemporary description is this: The church is not a country club for saints; it is a hospital for sinners.
Osteen also noted, "We believe in a supernatural God."
God is not limited by the laws of nature. He is the governor of them. God is not limited by the laws of economy; he is the ultimate owner of everything in the world, which he directs according to his divine plan.
However, Osteen also made points that are incongruous with traditional Christianity.
For example, his emphasis seemed to be on material blessings for the here and now. This emphasis he carefully nuanced, but the undercurrent was very strong.
In a sentence, the ancient Christian teaching would be "living life faithfully with the cards you are dealt," whereas the prevailing message that I heard on Friday was, "If you are faithful, God will deal you a better hand."
Another example would be that one can "declare" things in the name of Jesus into being. Numerous civic and local church leaders were invited on the stage to "declare" certain things, including that 2013 would be the best year ever, and that all single parents — mothers and fathers — will raise their children in faithful and healthy ways. Perhaps by "I declare" they meant, "I hope" or "we pray," but declaring it does not make it so.
A third example would be by what authority one preaches.
Many pastors in recent centuries desire to derive their calling directly from God. However, since the beginning of the Christian church, those who preach and teach were sent out by others, to whom they were accountable in a formal way. This accountability remains with us to the present day. Priests are accountable to bishops, and the bishops are accountable to one another.
Osteen scolded his critics (with a smile) that he is accountable only to God. While it is true, according to the Scriptures, that each of us will have to answer to God for every word that we speak, the church on Earth was established with and maintains personal, pastoral and theological accountability here and now.
Osteen also proclaimed a number of concepts that, with some sanding and polishing, would reflect the earliest and longstanding Christian teachings. A prime example is that of physical healing.
According the Holy Bible, Jesus went about "preaching and healing," and there are numerous examples of such physical healing: eyes of the blind opened, ears of the deaf unstopped and even three examples of the dead raised to life by Jesus. Osteen's mother Dodie is one living, personal example.
Osteen declared such healing. But he separated suffering from healing not only theologically but also in his presentation. He spoke about healing at the beginning and suffering near the end. If he could have brought the two together, there we would find the traditional Christian teaching: If we are healed in this life, we are healed by the mercy of God in order to repent more and to declare to the world what God has done for us. If we are not healed in this world, we know that Jesus Christ suffered on the cross, and as such, suffers with us.
This sanctifies our suffering. It gives the suffering a holy purpose.
In many ways, I was a fish out of water at the "Night of Hope": the music, the method and the message were quite removed from those of the 2-millennia-old church.
Still, I am grateful for the kindness show to us by Joel, Victoria and Dodie, not to mention those who work closely with them. I was surely impressed by the crowd who came with eager hearts looking for hope and healing, and I surely hope myself that our city and all of us citizens will find the source of that hope and healing, the Lord, to whom all are invited to draw near.

Precise offers and the art of haggling
|Email Print
Negotiating prices is an important skill to have, and not just for those times when you visit countries where haggling over small purchases is common practice.
While most day-to-day purchases aren't negotiable in this country in the same way they are in Latin America and Asia, most of the really significant ones are. In many cases, skillful haggling can knock thousands of dollars off the price of a car and tens of thousands off the price of a house, which can have long-lasting effects on your finances. And when you're sitting down for an interview with a potential employer and talking salary, you're really negotiating arguably the most important price out there: the price of your labor and, ultimately, your time.
But whether you're haggling over the price of a washer or your annual salary, here's a trick I recently heard about that's got some scientific evidence to back it up: Instead of pulling out a round number when making your initial offer for something — i.e., "I'll give you $500 for that dryer and not a penny more!" — go for a more "granular" offer, i.e., "I'm looking for an annual salary of $47,251."
You might get a weird look from the person you're negotiating with, but it's likely their counteroffer will be closer to your original "anchor" than if you had picked a round number, according to a recent study by researchers at Columbia University.
In the study, researchers gave test subjects found on Amazon's Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing website the job of negotiating a price. Those given a precise opening offer countered with a number that was, on average, significantly closer to the asking price than those who were given a nice round opening offer. After dust cleared on the test negotiations, the final price negotiators who had used the precise offers got was substantially closer to their asking price than those who had started with a round offer.
And lest you think it only works with amateurs, researchers tried the same trick on a sample of experienced managers and MBAs, they got similar results.
So why would something as simple as avoiding round numbers make your asking price more "sticky"? The researchers speculated that a more precise offer sends a message the person making it is more confident and informed than a round-number user.
The next time I get the chance to haggle, I'm going to try this, and I'll let you know if I feel like it yielded a better result. What do you think? Does this seem like something that would work to you?
