Picks and Pans Main: Song
Worth a Listen
It's probably not sheer coincidence that Church sounds so much like the early Rosanne Cash. Church is, after all, Mrs. Rodney Crowell, having acceded to that title after Cash relinquished it, and Crowell produced this debut album, as well as wrote or cowrote half of its 10 songs. Church, like Cash, can shift effectively from emotional, cerebral tunes to peppy, rhythm-driven material, and Crowell takes full advantage of her versatility. Church is from Lenoir, N.C., and one highlight of this album is what should become an ex officio state song, "Home in My Heart (North Carolina)," a lively if nostalgia-heavy tribute written by Church and Crowell. Another bright moment is Church's version of the Carole King-Gerry Goffin pop standard "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." That kind of range overshadows even an unusual lapse by Crowell: He includes his own dreadful "This Man I Love," whose doggerel lyrics include "He lets me spend his money/ He even thinks it's funny." Church is too talented to be derailed by one misstep, though, even if it is her own husband's. She's the real goods.
Bottom Line: A Church who'll build a big following
Wilco (Reprise)
Album of the week
In the heyday of grunge, nouveau-country rock bands tipped their cowboy hats to predecessors like the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers and provided a tuneful alternative to the alt-rock blasting from Seattle. Among the apostles of the new breed, mischievously labeled y'alternative, was Jeff Tweedy, a 31-year-old Belleville, Ill., native who, as a founding member of the now-defunct cult group Uncle Tupelo, helped create a hybrid sound that blends country's ambling gait with rock's guitar-packed punch. Now Tweedy, who founded Wilco in 1994 and collaborated with Brit folk-rocker Billy Bragg on last year's acclaimed Woody Guthrie collection Mermaid Avenue, has pulled a surprise about-face, fashioning an ambitious, beautifully crafted and almost twang-free 15-song cycle. Lyrically ambiguous and impressionistic, full of imagery that both disturbs and beguiles, Summer Teeth is a concept album about sin and redemption. With his knack for sing-along melodies, rocking arrangements and decidedly noncountry studio effects, Tweedy has strayed far from the fold, to winning effect.
Bottom Line: A country rocker paints his pop masterpiece
Joey McIntyre (C2/Columbia)
Gone are the dewy eyes and baby-fat cheeks, but that chiseled chin and smoldering, grown-up image belong to none other than former bubble-gum sensation and New Kids on the Block teen throb Joey McIntyre. Now 26, McIntyre gives the lie to old rumors of lip-synching with a voice that's stronger, deeper and far less likely to break. With this debut solo collection of love ballads and Stevie Wonder-influenced dance tunes, Joey just may give the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and the rest of this year's New Kids a run for the teenybopper bucks. A Needham, Mass.-born lad of 12 when he was recruited to become the newest New Kid in 1985, McIntyre weathered the hysteria that swept the land three years later and the inevitable letdown that followed the quintet's amicable 1994 breakup. Fans will note a mini Kids reunion here: Several of these 13 tracks were cowritten by former Kids Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood, both pushing (gulp) 30.
Bottom Line: Pretty fly for a New Kid
Various Artists (Walt Disney)
Thanks to playlists that include recent hits by the likes of Hanson and the Backstreet Boys, as well as tracks from popular film scores (The Lion King, Mulan, Ghostbusters) and goofy between-song chatter by house-of-Mouse toon stars, Radio Disney has built an audience of 1 million mostly preteens a week for its network of 35 U.S. affiliate radio stations. This hour-long CD of Radio Disney's most-requested songs features classic rockers like James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)," as well as novelty tunes including "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Yoda," a spoof on Star Wars performed to the tune of the Kinks' 1970 hit "Lola." Another fun plus: A wacky pair of deejays who call themselves Just Plain Mark & Zippy offer sound advice on how to handle name-callers in the track "I Am Rubber."
Bottom Line: A compilation of hits old and new that will rock the Goosebumps set
Beth Orton (Deconstruction/Arista)
Some pop albums elevate your mood with their upbeat outlook. This second full-length effort by a gifted 28-year-old singer-songwriter from Norfolk, England, coaxes smiles by focusing on life's more painful moments. No wonder: Years before she was rescued from obscurity by the Chemical Brothers—ultrahip techno artists who in 1995 brought her in to sing on their Exit Planet Dust album—Orton suffered through the early deaths of both her parents.
With a smoky alto reminiscent of the late, lamented Dusty Springfield, Orton pinpoints feelings of loss ("Pass in Time"), regret ("Stolen Car") and spiritual bankruptcy ("Stars All Seem to Weep") with remarkable precision and wit. Her midtempo music is also filled with catchy dance beats, gorgeous folk guitars and haunting string sections. The effect is both jubilant and timeless, like attending a transcendent after-hours party held in a crumbling medieval cathedral.
Bottom Line: Sad but splendid British singer—no reservations
Gigolo Aunts (E Pluribus Unum)
Bristling with bright, instantly appealing pop hooks, the first album in five years from Boston's unabashedly melodious Aunts, Minor Chords hearkens back to that distant epoch when songs were tailored to keep listeners from surfing the AM radio dial. Half these uptempo tunes would have been at home in the Top 10 circa'65. The mop-topped quartet is adept too at ballads like "You'd Better Get Yourself Together, Baby," a wispy-not- wimpy song featured in an episode of Felicity, a tube offering favored by kids who don't know from Amplitude Modulation radio. Formed in 1989 by guitarist and vocalist Dave Gibbs, 30, and bassist Steve Hurley, 34 (drummer Fred Eltringham, 27, and guitarist Jon Skibic, 30, joined later), the Aunts suffered in label limbo after being dropped by RCA in 1994. Encouraged by pals like Adam Schlesinger, the Fountains of Wayne singer who wrote the title song for Tom Hanks's 1996 film That Thing You Do!, the Aunts caught a break when one of their tunes appeared, fittingly, in that homage to '60s pop.
Bottom Line: Major delights from favorite Aunts
>BURNING LONDON (THE CLASH TRIBUTE) Various Artists (Epic) A sop to fans fervently wishing for a reunion of the greatest of '70s Brit punk bands: covers of Clash classics by apostles as diverse as No Doubt, Ice Cube, Indigo Girls, Silverchair and Third Eye Blind.
WHO ELSE! Jeff Beck (Epic) Unlike that other '60s guitar god, Eric Clapton, Beck (no relation to his young Yank namesake) can't sing. But he sure can play. Here the old Yardbird showcases his virtuoso talents on 11 instrumental tracks.
A GOOD DAY FOR THE BLUES Ruth Brown (Rounder) She's 71 now, but the 1950s R&B pioneer, whose comeback decades later was capped with a 1997 Grammy nomination, still belts tunes ("Can't Stand a Broke Man") with bawdy gusto.

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - In pre-dawn strikes Wednesday, Israeli aircraft targeted arms smuggling tunnels along the Philadelphi Corridor, the narrow strip of land separating the Egyptian Sinai from the Gaza Strip.
The strikes were carried out in response to Tuesday's bombing of an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) unit patrolling the border with Gaza, which killed one soldier, a Bedouin tracker, and wounded three others, one critically.
Will the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas hold? Click play for more insight from CBN News Jerusalem Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell.
The family of the soldier who was killed asked that his name and picture not be publicized.
On Tuesday evening, the government gave the IDF permission to respond aggressively to the bombing, a policy expected to apply to any attacks occurring after the three-week-long Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip.
Defense Ministry Diplomatic-Security Bureau chief Major-General Amos Gilad said Israel is no longer limited to closing border crossings in response to Palestinian terror attacks.
"The response will not be the way it used to be," Gilad said during an address at the National Security Studies in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
"The equation has changed," he said.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Hamas can expect harsh responses to terror acts from this point forward.
"We do not intend to gloss over incidents like these," Barak said. "We will not let Hamas and its outgrowths continue their hostile acts of terror," he said.
"Anyone who hits us will have to absorb a serious blow in the future, too," the defense minister said.
Barak also ordered the closure of the Kerem Shalom and Karni border crossings, delaying the transport of 185 trucks scheduled to deliver food and equipment to the Strip.
Several hours after the bombing, the IAF targeted a terrorist riding a motorcycle near Khan Younis.
The targeted air strike, which was coordinated with the Shin Bet (General Security Service) hit Hussein Abu Shamaya, one of the terrorists involved in Tuesday's bombing.
According to the Shin Bet, the terror cell that planted the bomb is affiliated with al-Qaeda.
Ramattan, a Palestinian news agency, released footage of the bombing taken by the terror group. The video shows the explosion next to the IDF jeep, traveling on the Israeli side of the border.
Two IDF soldiers are seen running toward the jeep, ducking Palestinian gunfire before a secondary explosion hits them.
Earlier, a Palestinian farmer was killed in the crossfire that took place after the bombing attack, Palestinian sources reported.
Meanwhile, newly appointed U.S. Middle Envoy George Mitchell arrives in Israel today, following meetings in Cairo Tuesday.
Mitchell will meet with Olmert and other top Israeli security and government officials and with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his aides.
Mitchell will not meet with Hamas officials on this trip.

Although today was a shortened trading session, it was still full of excitement because of international woes, and the ADP jobs report. After estimates had pinned the private-sector jobs report today to show 160,000 new positions had been created in June and the number actually came in at 188,000, investors had something to cheer about. But the problem in Egypt seems to have investors concerned that the issue could spread into other parts of the Middle East and put the whole region in turmoil.
So while the markets did close higher for the day, they opened in the red and had to fight their way higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) closed up 56 points, or 0.38%, and now sits just a few points shy of the 15,000 mark at 14,988. The S&P 500 increased by 0.08%, while the Nasdaq rose 0.3% during the shortened holiday session.
Only eight of the Dow's 30 components ended the day lower, and leading the Dow's losers today was Alcoa (NYSE: AA ) , which lost 1.15% of its value. The stock fell on the news that JPMorgan Chase had downgraded the stock, lowered its price target, and cut its earnings estimates for the coming second-quarter report, which is scheduled to be released on Monday. JPMorgan's previous rating of "neutral" was lowered to "overweight," while the target price was cut from $12 per share to $9 when looking out to December 2014. Furthermore, the EPS was lowered from $0.14 per to $0.04 because of lower aluminum prices. The company also cut Alcoa's full 2013 year earnings estimate from $0.57 to $0.55 per share. Needless to say, JPMorgan doesn't have a lot of faith in Alcoa at this time.
Another big loser was Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT ) , which lost 0.76% of its value today. One reason shares may have moved lower was the report that the U.S. trade deficit widened more than expected in May. Economists had expected the deficit to hit $40.1 billion, but it came in much higher at $45 billion. The report indicated that exports decayed, which reflects slow or stagnant growth in major markets such as China and Europe. While Caterpillar does derive a large portion of its revenue from the U.S., the company needs other economies to be performing well, or it will suffer.
The Dow's best-performing stock of the day was Boeing (NYSE: BA ) , as shares rose 1.4% on news that the company outdelivered Airbus during the first half of the year. Boeing has delivered 306 jetliners thus far in 2013, while Airbus has shipped 295 planes to customers. This all came during a time when Boeing was dealing with battery issues from its 787 Dreamliner, which had been grounded by the FAA. Boeing also previously announced that it had been ramping up production at its plants and plans to continue increasing product rates until earlier 2014.

Album-Review: Bob Marley & The Wailers - Live Forever
by Angus Taylor
Live Forever: September, 23rd 1980 * Stanley Theatre * Pittsburgh, PA
It's questionable how effective a review of Bob Marley's final live concert at Pittsburgh's Stanley Theatre on 23rd September 1980 can be. It's an event already steeped in mythology and historical importance - his collapse while jogging brought on by illness two days before, his then uphill attempts to crack the elusive American market (at a time when politically Jamaica was turning decisively towards the USA). Add the fact that anything Bob related - check the recent t shirt litigation - will sell like cakes from the oven, and it's likely that for most people no write up is required.
But nevertheless, it's certainly an interesting and rewarding listen. Bob's voice and vital demeanour give no indication of his health problems. The Barrett Brothers and co start slowly, chugging through Natural Mystic, Positive Vibration and Burnin' and Lootin' before starting to really cook at Them Belly Full and keeping the momentum right to the encore. Al Anderson and Junior Marvin supply some big guitar solos while percussionist Alvin Seeco Patterson adds rhythmic pulse to Redemption Song. Bob was one of the first reggae artists to use a drum machine on Rainbow Country so the synth drums on Could You Be Loved, as the new digital decade beckons, are no surprise.
The recording was made via the soundboard to be played back and reviewed later so you can hear the levels being adjusted and the odd wiring blip. Soundboard recordings inevitably leave the crowd sounding rather distant and this is the one major weakness of this release. The closing two songs - Work and Get Up Stand Up - are missing from the crew reel to reel so Universal had to splice them from a "secondary source" and although the bass booms and the instrumentation is unclear there is slightly more sense of actually being at a concert than in the 18 tracks before.
As the levels fade we hear a voice responding to the ecstatic applause saying "if you keep this up we'll have to come back every year, every month". Tragically it was not to be, but it drives home the history of the occasion further still. Yet even if you ignore the narrative backdrop and the minor technical quibbles, this is a Bob Marley concert, and if you can't find something to enjoy here the world must seem a very bleak place.

Strapped around the face, this mask transforms the wearer's head into an instrument for drawing. Horn has described wearing it: 'All pencils are about two inches long and produce the profile of my face in three dimensions...I move my body rhythmically from left to right in front of a white wall. The pencils make marks on the wall the image of which corresponds to the rhythm of my movements.' The spike-like pencils make this one of Horn's more threatening works. However, it is linked to the feather masks, as feather quills were also once used for writing.

Weve got flying squirrels. Again.
Most people, when they get flying squirrels in their attic, immediately think of the most quick and certain ways to get the critters out of their attic. Anyone who has had flying squirrels in their attic will tell you it sounds as if they are constantly rearranging furniture up there, occasionally taking breaks to claw out Morse code on the wall.
The sounds will keep you up at night, and they will also startle you at the most unsuspecting moments of morning preparation, as they tend to love living over bathrooms, so just as you are going to put a toothbrush in your mouth, you hear a loud SCRAAAAAATCCHHHHH!!!! causing you to jab the toothbrush into the roof of your mouth, which, we can all agree, starts your morning off wrong.
While the solution to eradicate a family of squirrels in the attic may be a no-brainer to some, its not that simple for us. The problem with the Gibbons family having flying squirrels is that we have had a flying squirrel as a pet. We had Skip.
We got him as a baby, and he bonded with me as his Mama. He would hang out with me, usually snuggled in my shirt pocket. He would ride in the car with me to work and would hang on my shoulder as I sat at my computer. My wife would take Skip across the room from me in our den and hold him up high, and he would soar gracefully to my chest, scurrying into my pocket right after landing.
Sadly, Skip met an untimely fate, having fallen in his cage one night. He was buried, and we placed a cross made from two small sticks at his grave. It is a site of great reverence in our household.
So flying squirrels, to us, are not pests. Theyre Skips.
When they started running amok in our attic, my family heard fellow Skips just hanging out. For what its worth, while my wife and I tried to maintain the Skippiness we should, it REALLY got old staying up at night with them playing Skee-Ball upstairs.
So I decided it was time to set some traps. Before you call me a hypocrite, these are live traps, which harmlessly snag the critters so they can be removed and relocated. We last used the live traps when we had flying squirrels in our attic a decade ago or so, long before we knew Skip. We put the traps in the attic, applied some peanut butter as bait and retreated to the downstairs. Before the attic steps were shut, we heard a loud CLANG CLANG CLANG that tipped us of that we just might have caught a flying squirrel.
My daughter was about 4 at the time, and she helped me retrieve them. We took the clanging squirrel traps down from the attic and did what any nature loving flying squirrel fan would do we went about two blocks up the road before we opened the back, sending a flying squirrel scrambling for freedom.
We decided we would take the same approach this time. My son was the helper this time, donning his headlamp flashlight and leading the way. We had two traps, both smeared with peanut butter at the back, just waiting to draw in our attic guests.
We chose a couple of strategic spots toward the back of the attic. My son opted to set them, which means they were set way back at a part of the attic where only someone his size would fit, meaning should I have to go retrieve the trap later, I would have to do some hybrid army crawl/crab walk to get to where they are.
I had told my son of the previous time when we set the traps, and he was excited to know we were most likely just moments away from having two traps slam shut.
We retreated from the attic, closed up the stairs and waited. And waited. And waited. After about 30 seconds, I gave up. Well check them later, I said. How about now? my son said immediately. I explained to him that while it technically was later, I meant MORE later. As in later that night. Or possibly the next day.
Indeed, we did check the traps later that night, and the next day and the next. They are still empty, save for the smear of peanut butter, which could probably use a refreshing.
My wife says she has heard them a few times, but they are not nearly as active as they were. And they certainly dont have an interest in peanut butter. Perhaps they are gradually moving on, and theyll disperse without the need of the traps. Ill leave the traps for a few more days before I call the operation closed. I hope my son will go get the traps, however. I dont particularly want to crawl back there.

Samsung Galaxy S III vs HTC One X
0. phoneArena 16 May 2012, 08:15 posted on
The HTC One X was the first new-generation Android smartphone to come out this year. It introduced us to a new kind of Android experience – one powered by an ultra-fast quad-core processor. With the recent introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S III, though, things are going to get much more interesting. Take a deep breath, people, as what follows is the most epic Android clash for the first half of the year – the Samsung Galaxy S III is facing the HTC One X!...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here
1. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
This is a class of the titans. I've yet to see a galaxy s3 in the flesh so i've holded off buying a one x till i can seen them side by side.
The One X aswell as the One S are currently coming with free beats headphones and we are selling out of them weekly,it'll be interesting to see in a few weeks how the sales battles will go with the s3 out!!
87. sniper1087 (Posts: 508; Member since: 31 Dec 2011)
What? From what I heard they come with beats audio, no beats headphones, the headphones are whatever htc bundles with, o beats brand on them. Beats audio is only better if you buy the headphones which means more money to invest.
94. tedkord (Posts: 11607; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Beats is hype altogether, with or without the headphones.
99. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
the X and S do not come with beats.....what are you talking about
117. notso (Posts: 3; Member since: 19 May 2012)
Your command of the english language underwhelms me.
2. hateftotti (Posts: 198; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Just S III and nothing else...
Wait to see WP8 version of GS III and then WP goes for Samsung too;)
11. abhishek48 (Posts: 164; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
Yes, history repeats, gs2 outperformed sensation last year.
So if any one buys HTC one x international ,.. wil see again what they say lasy year,.. galaxy beating htc..again.
But in US version SoC are same crapdragon s4.. so difficult to choose.

You're actually the Samsung hater. =]
108. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Not the biggest fan .
But i dont hate Samsung
I hate their loud Fanboys always bashing Apple's tail keep saying themselve on android side but actually on Samsung side , check this article for example .
Samsung make a lot of stuff in house and supply it to other companies .
So like it or not your phone will have something samsung in it and i prefer it that way
3. mercorp (Posts: 1027; Member since: 28 Jan 2012)
No beats.clarify.
4. cellphonator (Posts: 298; Member since: 29 Oct 2011)
What? Free Beats headphones? Since when, how, who?
I bought the One S and it came with a kick in the butt instead of ANY headphone!
9. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
The availability depends on your location geographically,Initial batchs of the phones didn't have beats headsets bundled in the phones but in the last few weeks they have been. I've even seen the One V with beats headsets bundled with the now. Bare in mind they ibeats inear headsets which are bundled with the phones not over ear headsets.
5. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
I can predict the conclusion easily because PA marked GS3 9.3 point while One X had onlly 7.8 point.
8. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
I've read all of the article already. It's a good review although i think it'll be better if there is a comparison video.
24. Ray.S (Posts: 329; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
The video will be up very soon! :P
40. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
The s3 comes in 3 versions, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB with ability to expand with 64GB and also there is 50GB of dropbox for 2 years you should correct your reviews and head-to-head against the One X, it was officially announced from the beginning don't know why you keep rehashing your words without getting your facts straight as a reviewer
80. Ray.S (Posts: 329; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
Sorry about that. It's fixed now!
47. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Don't forget the removable battery, which you neglected to mention Ray S
124. Edsaxy (Posts: 1; Member since: 24 May 2012)
If only one can understand what the designer and technologist had in mind than seriously honestly than we can give the guys the best credit of their marvels.

htc is much much beautifull and its seems more expensice
27. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
64. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
are you going to use it or boast about it?
that's the main question.
if the first one get S III.
137. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
htc is much much ugly and if you did't see both devices with you eyes don't say such things. one x is ugly
7. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Thank you Ray S. for a good non-biased article. It seems as of late the bias is disappearing quite a bit. Except toward HTC lol
15. wendygarett (unregistered)
Just wait and see the comparison with iphone4s, then you may have different conclusion :D
20. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Im actually starting to respect Ray actually. If he doesn't like HTC or android in general and prefers the iphone its his opinion not mine. I have mine, he has his, you have yours, and so on
22. wendygarett (unregistered)
Ya you're probably (definitely) right...
51. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
same here. if Ray or someone else likes iphone or any other device, then its a personal choice. all we want is an unbiased and honest opinion. again a good job done Ray.

If someone was to write a review for a professional tech blog, I don't think a writer should hold any personal opinion in the article that he/she wrote. The comparison reviews should provide the pros and cons, the advantages and disadvantages of the devices. Then based on the facts given in the article, the readers could decide themselves on the winner.
If it's a personal blog, then it's a different case.

What you asking is logically not possible. Every tech site will have different ways and different opinions of a phone, you have to have a personal opinion.
89. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
That's where you're wrong, the personal opinion come from unprofessional writing. Anyone who at least took high school English will be taught to be objective within a research assignment without leaving personal opinion. So it is possible, is just most people choose not to.
I do agree that the One X has a lot of problem, but none that can't be fixed. The writing of this article needs to be more objective, especially the conclusion, where the writer just pretty much bashes the HTC device. To me, GSMArena's comparison shows much more professionalism even tho they do show opinions.

there is no such thing as objectivity. There is always something which is not objective and that why people have different opinions. For you one thing is objective for me is other thing so there is objectivity

Hey ,
If he has his opinion then he should not be a reporter !!
A reporter always has to be NEUTRAL !!

you and I are going to continue to butt heads over plastic.. lol
just for reference, both phones are made out of the exact same plastic, which is the same used in the Nokia 900. they just have different finishes on that plastic. a small adjustment needed in an otherwise good review.
so basically the oneX doesn't hold a candle. there went HTCs hope of a big come back. between s4 supply issues, software issues, and now import issues... its not the START HTC needs.

s3 is not polycarbonate unibody , just regular plastic right ?
After holding a Black OneS i can say that its the best phone to hold and feel for now .
But would i buy one ? No , quad core OneX for me please .
Although my friend says OneS better as cheaper , snapdragon 4 , amoled screen , better design
60. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
no its not polycarbonate unibody as it has removable battery but the back is made out of polycarbone still so if the material of the one x and lumia is considered premium then so should the s3's...the fact that the battery is removable should be considered a bonus...also regardless if a phone is unibody or not it should matter how the phone feels when all the pieces are together.
85. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Apple and HTC is always talking about their unibody design
95. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
they are unibody, the SGS3 is not.. thats what taz was saying.
110. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
139. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
s3 is polycarbonate
32. ph00ny (Posts: 1234; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Not to mention the fact that samsung uses magnesium frame under the plastic. GS2 was damn impressive with 0 flex or creak
36. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
really ?
37. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Actually yes i can vouch for him. My epic touch has betterbuild quality creak wise and sturdyness wise than my old evo, my inspire, the echo i had, and every other phone ive owned
107. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
all i know is the s2 is a tough bitch
My father dropped his on shoulder height and its still works fine
But isnt Unibody better ?
There is a survey that most people dont want SD slots or removable batteries why samsung put them in anyway
111. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
it depends how the phone is built to be honest,sometimes oems make removable back so when it drops the back cover comes off which somehow reduces the chance of damage...lol cant remember where i read this again but its what i read..again probably not with all phones and depends on the design..personally unibody feels better in the hand but for me i need the removable battery and sd slot so for me the sacrifice of a unibody design for those 2 features is worth it.

14. kylehudsons (Posts: 53; Member since: 04 Apr 2012)
Well, for my comparison I think both are on par...
With the spec sheets and all I say both are Number 1....
16. Diego! (Posts: 573; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
Great review. And it's up to personal taste, but the last sentences made everything clear, if you need everything snappy and fast, you should buy Samsung Galaxy S III and that's what I will be doing. I may wait a little bit tough, because I wanna see Samsung's WP 8 version of Galaxy S III. With Exynos and WP 8 as OS, that will rock indeed! :D
17. gearboxboi (Posts: 4; Member since: 13 May 2012)
Wonder how much Samsung and Apple is paying Ray S. Hmmm...
31. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
i think apple pay him more
But thats a good thing as it may boost apple's sales more
18. som (Posts: 768; Member since: 10 Nov 2009)
Samsung must make every phone with the highest quality material in order to compete with Apple. Currently Samsung make phones with all plastic materials looks and feels cheap.
140. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
it is not plastic and if you want phone made of glass and when you drop it to throw it into the basket ok then buy iphone (iphones actually) and both one x and s3 looks better enough
19. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
enjoy watching.
In my opinion it just shows how far behind samsung is compared to apple. I'm not speaking in general but about s assistant. They wanted to make something similar and probalby better than siri and they failed. That's a gimmick.
That's the main difference. When apple does something it is polished (mostly). Samsung (the others too) makes an imitation trying to catch up rotten apple.
Haters and no-haters.
I don't like neither samsung nor apple.
I just thought it would be funny to see "assistant results" and who is better.

ever tried updating a samsung device via KIES ?

SAHM vs. WOHM: Why We Should All Be a Little SelfishAna Flores
I actually never really knew the term "stay-at-home mom" existed until I became one. With over 10 years of professional experience under my belt, the moment I became a mom I knew with no doubt in my mind that I would not be going back to my job after my leave of absence expired. Because I was 34 at the time and had already experienced a lot professionally, all I wanted was to devote my time, passion and energy to this new task of being a mom. I really wanted to "be" it and not miss out on that experience. Without knowing, that decision immediately slapped on me the label of a "stay-at-home mom."
In full disclosure, I was financially able to make that decision at that time. Not every woman has the option to make the choice or take the risk to let go of a profitable career in order to take care of their children. Yes, I became a SAHM by choice and knew the risks involved, but could care less about them.
In Sheryl Sandberg's terms, I leaned in to my role as a new mom with all my might. I was oblivious to any criticism that could come my way or any feeling of pobrecita ("poor thing"), she has no clue how hard it will be for her to bounce back professionally. And "they" were right. I had no clue, but, I repeat, I could have cared less.
For almost two years, and even when things got really bad in my marriage and financially, I devoted myself to being a SAHM. I never once felt guilt or regret because the task at hand was way more important than making sure Pitbull's latest TV show was an on-air hit. I also couldn't fathom the idea of having to report to an office environment with two hours of sleep and having my head somewhere else — like wanting to know if my girl had finally spoken her first word and torturing myself if she spoke it to her nanny first. I knew what a fabulous TV career looked like; I had no idea what motherhood tasted like, and I wanted to relish in it.
But that was my prerogative. It was my decision to be a SAHM and live through the awful and crappy days and get lovey-dovey over the beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime moments that no one will ever be able to take away from us.
After almost two years I finally hit that wall where I just had to start working again, both out of extreme financial need and out of my own personal need. At around 18 months I made the decision to take my daughter to a family daycare twice a week so I could have a few hours to figure out just what I would do with my life at that point. I started feeling the need to express myself and use the full potential I had, but now with a renewed purpose and mission. This is when I started SpanglishBaby.com with the full intent of it one day becoming the "thing" I do. At that moment I started treading between the SAHM and the work-at-home mom labels. I was somewhere in between: a SAHM that desperately wanted to become a WAHM. Honestly, all these labels and acronyms meant nothing to me back then, it's just in the past few years that I've realized I "belonged" to these subcultures to define the undefinable roles of motherhood.
A few years passed and all of a sudden my daughter was full time in preschool and I had successfully launched a new and profitable career in social media that allowed me to work from home and to also own my time, in the sense that I could theoretically work from anywhere and manipulate my time. Case in point: I'm writing this post from El Salvador where my daughter and I are visiting our family during her spring break. I'm still working, but I'm not really home, I'm not in an office, I'm not 100% on vacation, but I'm productive both in my work and in my role as a giving and caring mom.
Now that my online and consulting businesses are growing, I keep making decisions based on the lifestyle I envision for myself and my family. I could care less about the so-called "Mommy Wars" and all the accusing, blaming, finger pointing, and general deconstructivism going around. I've made all my motherhood and career decisions based solely on what's right for my daughter, my husband and myself, and that's all every single women should care about when it comes to parenting.
But if I'm going to get very real here, ultimately, the decisions are made on what's best for me. Yes, hate me for being selfish, but I'm so selfish I don't care. I don't care because it took me a long time and a spiritual path to finally come to terms that I had to put the oxygen mask on myself first. That the last thing I want is to sacrifice my own needs and mission in this life to become a woman my daughter won't look up to or respect. I need to be that role model for her. The role model of a women that only needs her own inner strength and light to guide her. A woman that knows that there's no way to receive without giving and vice-versa, but that to give, your own vessel needs to be full.
I'm joining the conversation about the "Mommy Wars" only to say that you can't count on me to judge you; you can count on me to support you.
See more on this discussion here on HLN's Raising America:
We're continuing this conversation all this week, because we want that lasting peace, dammit. Read more posts on this subject in this section all week (you can start with Catherine's kick-off post.) And tune in to HLN's Raising America (12:30 EST) to watch The Mommy Wars: the Peace Talks, a 5 day collaboration with HLN's Raising America aimed at wrestling this so-called 'war' into peaceful submission.

The performance was fine. I expected more Mariachi music and dances; instead there was a lot of talking, 80% in Spanish without translation into English. The SAP pavilion on a beautiful Saturday night was half empty - may be most of the English...continued

Compassion in World Farming get Royal Wedding Fever
A Compassion in World Farming volunteer has been caught up in Royal Wedding fever, after one of their volunteers named two new born pygmy goats Kate and William! Stephen Mason, who is studying at Merrist Wood College in Guildford, Surrey, decided that the inseparable pair of goats should be named of the nations favourite couple in honour of the Royal Wedding, and I can't say I blame him!
Stephen Mason, a volunteer at Compassion in World Farming animal charity, decided to name the pygmy goats Will and Kate as the two animals have become inseparable since they met, a bit like our future king and queen!
Stephen said –
With wedding fever in full swing, and the two pygmy kids never wanting to be apart, it was hard to think of more suitable names!
Kate is the darker of the two lovebirds/goats, and loves to climb, whilst William is the inquisitive one. The two pygmy goats are currently the size of a Yorkshire terrier dog and won't grow any bigger than 58cm in height. The sociable pair of goats are currently roaming free at the Merrist Wood farm, including pigs, sheep, cows and chickens, though it is not sure if this is technically classed as their honeymoon!

Did Hector Camacho had the best footwork of all time???
My boxing coach(tony pep) is always praising him and saying he had the perfect blend of balance,solid stance as well as being mobile and economical with his footwork!
I never thought about it, until I was reading some hajime no ippo wikipidea and the character known as saeki "Speed Star" Takmua was said to be based on him and his somewhat of a minor character with like the BEST footwork!

No, and I'm noticing he's been getting overrated a lot these last few weeks. I actually loved watching his earlier fights, especially at 130. Just that he became too tentative and boring in the 2nd half of his career. Losing to/ having competitive fights with fighters he should have easily been able to deal with. As for the question your asking, he most certainty did not.

thats cuz your coach knows what hes talking about.from when he turn pro up untill 1987 camacho had some of the best footwork you will ever see. and was the fastest handed fighter post leonard's retirement in 1982.some say it was rosario after that he became a potshot and grab fighter. to me it was way more than edwin rosario
watch the howard davis, vinny paz, greg haugan I and II. those were some really good fights those are after rosario. i believe it was the sex drugs and rocknroll type lifestyle by 88,89 it finally caught up to his legs and his lack of not making weight so earlier in his career was his ultimate downfall and its unfounate cuz at 130-135 was one of the best ive seen at that weight.

NASA Quest
+ Search Quest
Exploration through Navigation
Navigation Plan: Earth to Moon
Team name: Workman Orbiters
Spacecraft name: Lunar Eclipse
Launch time and date: July 7, 2009 – 10:00am
Duration of journey: 6 days
Expected impact date: July 13, 2009
Description of route and orbital paths:
On July 7, 2009, the Lunar Eclipse will take off from Kennedy Space Center at 10:00am. Once outside of Earth's atmosphere, we will drop the stabilizers and the fuel tank. We will orbit Earth once or possibly three times and leave orbit in the direction of the moon head on. As we enter the moon's gravity we will drop the rear engine and orbit the moon once. Once over the moon's North Pole the Lunar Eclipse will divide into two parts. The front part will increase speed by 50% to crash into the moon's North Pole. The rear will take measurements of the contents of the dust and land about an hour later.
Navigation Instruments:
We would use sonar through a radio receiver, star maps or charts, and the resources of Johnson Space Center's Mission Control to help navigate, communicate with, and collect data from our spacecraft.
Methods of guidance, navigation, control, and tracking:
We would send a signal to the Lunar Eclipse to see if it is receiving our information, use a data link to help control and guide it. We would use certain information from star maps to program the Eclipse to know how many orbits around the Earth and the Moon it needs to take and the path it needs to take to get to the North Pole of the Moon. This would also help to keep it on track. We would also have controls on Earth to remotely control the spacecraft and make a manual override, if something goes wrong with the navigation system. The Lunar Eclipse would be similar to the Ranger spacecraft series used to first obtain close-up images of the lunar surface. Instead of the Lunar Eclipse just taking pictures, it would be able to split apart causing one part to impact the North Pole and upon impact turn on and begin sending data back to the part orbiting the Moon. The part of the craft impacting the North Pole would scan and analyze the ejecta and possible water ice and vapor occurring above the lunar surface. If the impact releases materials that will tell us if there are other materials of importance, we will analyze them as well to see if they relate to the finding of possible water or water like substances. We would communicate with Johnson Space Center to send data they received to us as we collected data from the Lunar Eclipse we were receiving too. The radio signals would be converted to tracking, visual, and scientific data that could help in learning more about the composition of the North Pole and the determination of water evidence.

Independent Lens: Young Lakota
Monday, November 25 at 10:00 p.m.
Three young people living in the Pine Ridge Reservation try to forge a better future.
"Young Lakota" follows the emotional journey of Sunny Clifford, a young Lakota woman who returns to the Pine Ridge Reservation with a dream to change the world around her.
Her political awakening begins when the tribe's first female president, Cecelia Fire Thunder, defies a South Dakota law banning abortion by threatening to build a women's clinic on the reservation. Embroiled in a controversial political season that hinges on reproductive rights and tribal sovereignty, Sunny, her twin sister Serena, and their neighbor Brandon are drawn into a political firestorm that changes the course of their lives.
Sunny Clifford, just back on the reservation after two years away at college, works as a clerk at the Kyle grocery store, living with her twin sister, Serena. The twins — who have both dropped out of college — dream of finding a way to help make things better on the reservation, but they don't really know where to start. Their idealism is shared by Brandon Ferguson, who — like Serena — has young children.
A tumultuous tribal election to replace Fire Thunder and a state vote that defeats the abortion ban opens a political rift between the friends. Ultimately it is the complex interplay of personal choice, cultural, economic and political circumstance that will define who they are and what kind of adults they will become.

Writing for DyslexicsFor dyslexics, reading, understanding and learning from printed information can be a challenge. But information can be written in a way to help rather than hinder.
Whoever you are dealing with - pupils, staff, or the general public - remember that up to 10% of your audience could be dyslexic.
If you want to get your message across, we have a few recommendations:
PresentationDyslexia Friendly
Dyslexia Unfriendly
Writing Style
Try to pitch your message as if communicating face to face. Visualising your dyslexic reader in front of you should help you achieve the desired simplicity.
Make all the instructions as clear as possible. If there are any complicated issues, consider preparing a summary for dyslexic readers.
If you are teaching or lecturing, a prepared handout aimed at dyslexics will be invaluable, especially if the style is in line with the points listed above.

We oughta know ...
Full House star Dave Coulier is finally speaking out about inspiring Alanis Morissette's bitter, break-out hit "You Oughta Know."
The comedian told the Calgary Herald that he dated the much-younger singer-songwriter – but that he had no idea she planned to take their breakup public.
When he first heard the song, "I said, 'Wow, this girl is angry,' " he recalled. "And then I said, 'Oh man, I think it's Alanis.' ... I listened to the song over and over again, and I said, 'I think I have really hurt this person.' "
But there's no lasting animosity, he said – adding that the exes even decided to meet up once.
"We saw each other and hung out for an entire day," he said. "And it was beautiful. It was one of those things where it was kind of like, 'We're good.' "
In 2004, a loved-up Alanis Morissette took a departure from her usual anger-filled albums with So-Called Chaos.

Apt-fast script that combines the power of the axel download manager with the stability of apt-get.
Install axel in ubuntu
First you need to install axel in ubuntu using the following comamnd from your terminal
sudo apt-get install axel
Now you need to download apt-fast script from here.Then, just place the script somewhere (/usr/bin or /usr/sbin is ideal), rename it to apt-fast (without the .sh extension)
sudo mv apt-fast.sh apt-fast
now you need to change the permissions to downloaded script
sudo chmod +x apt-fast
Using apt-fast
Once done, just use it like apt-get. To install a single package, make sure your database is up to date (apt-fast update), and run apt-fast install packagenamehere. Watch it download with incredible speed, and install your requested packages. To upgrade or dist-upgrade, do the same thing. Just use apt-fast dist-upgrade or apt-fast upgrade.
Should your download stall for any number of reasons, you'll need to do an apt-fast clean.
