West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin is becoming increasingly more active in the West Virginia football coaching search. According to the Charleston Daily Mail, Manchin is pushing for a big name candidate in place of the current front-runners, which includes CMU head coach Butch Jones. This could be great news to many CMU fans, as losing Jones would be a tough blow after just hiring him one year ago.
January 1, Charleston Daily Mail The pause in West Virginia's search for a new football coach continues, but it will resume with a new direction. Sources confirmed the university will utilize a consulting firm to assist in hiring a new football coach.
A WVU team source also said Gov. Joe Manchin is intent on putting a big-name coach in place and has interest in Alabama coach and Marion County native Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide just finished Saban's first season with a 7-6 record after beating Colorado 30-24 in the Independence Bowl.
The Mountaineers have already interviewed Florida safeties coach/recruiting coordinator Doc Holliday, former Auburn Coach Terry Bowden, Central Michigan Coach Butch Jones and Florida State offensive line coach Rick Trickett. Each was a former player or assistant at WVU.

Top 10 Thanksgiving Decorations to Make, Part 1

Though often downplayed because of its proximity to Christmas, Thanksgiving can be a very special holiday. As someone who lived abroad for several years and could not often make it home for Thanksgiving, I especially cherish this uniquely American holiday. Because I am a craft editor who loves Thanksgiving, I've been gathering the best Thankgiving decorations to make this holiday.
Thanksgiving is a time when we get together with family and friends, share a giant meal and remember what is really important in life. By sharing food and words of gratitude with one another, we remind ourselves to be thankful and cherish the good stuff each and every day. With that in mind, let's decorate for Thanksgiving with the same enthusiasm that we devote to the other end-of-year holidays.
Here are my recommendations for the best thanksgiving decorations to make:
Pilgrims and Native Americans- Too often, we do not remember the original story of Thanksgiving nor why do we celebrate Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Plantation in 1565 brought together the pilgrims and Native Americans in a three-day feast. The feast gave thanks to God and the Native Americans who helped the pilgrims harvest food in their new land.
With such a wonderful story behind Thanksgiving, honor these Pilgrims and Native Americans with decorations in that theme. Create a Pilgrim and Indian Set by painting papier-mache box shapes or a Wobbly Pilgrim with foam shapes and felt. Pilgrims and Indians can also be made from toilet paper tubes, clay pots and other household materials.
Doing pilgrim and Indians crafts with kids is a great way to teach them about American history. For an easy craft, use construction paper to create Indian headbands. Measure around the kids' heads and cut out a band of construction paper to fit snuggly. Cut out feathers from orange and red construction paper and glue to the band. Staple the ends of the headband together.
Paper Words- Decorating with words such as "Give Thanks" or "Be Thankful" can be done in a fun and understated way. Create "Give Thanks" place cards for your Thanksgiving table with cardstock and stamps. Thanksgiving place cards will welcome your guests to the table and can be taken home as favors. You can hang larger "Give Thanks" tags from the backs of chairs too. Stencil "Be Thankful" onto a wood sign and add paper embellishments such as leaves, acorns, birds or pumpkins.
Cornucopia- A cornucopia is the classic symbol of plenty, dating back to Ancient Greece. You could certainly buy a cornucopia basket at the craft store, but why not make your own? You will need chicken wire or other wire netting, aluminum foil, burlap and a glue mixture (2 parts glue to one part water). This craft is similar to papier-mache. Shape the wire into a cone shape and twist upward at the end to resemble a cornucopia. Cover the wire form with foil. Then, cut the burlap into strips. Dip each of the burlap strips into the glue, remove excess glue with your fingers and place on your foil form. Repeat until the foil is completely covered with burlap. Let dry overnight and then carefully cut out the wire and foil from the form. Voila!

NEW YORK - Michael Vick all but made it official yesterday. He wants to be a starting quarterback in 2014. That isn't happening with the Eagles. So Vick will hit the free-agent market in March.
This is not stunning news, but when the 2013 Birds broke camp for the last time a little more than 3 weeks ago following their first-round playoff loss to New Orleans, Vick was still keeping the door open a crack, even as teammates visited his locker stall for farewell hugs. It seemed possible that if nobody wanted to sign him as a starter, Vick might be amenable to backing up Nick Foles again, given their strong relationship.

It's hard to believe that National Signing Day is now only about a week away. It seems only yesterday that we still had months to go before reaching it.
The recruiting process has slowed down mightily for Michigan over the past few months, but that's not a surprise when considering the hot start they got off to. In fact, it was about a year ago at this time when the 2013 recruits started committing at a historic rate.
With the class basically all but wrapped up, what will Michigan's top goals be on Signing Day?

Personal Description:
I would like to dedicate my story to my late sister Carol who also had ovarian cancer and passed away in August 2000.
Personal Description:
At age 50 my sister was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer in August of 1998. She had only vague symptoms of slight bloating and slight abdominal discomfort for a few weeks. At the time of her surgery the cancer was in her liver. Three months later I had my regular gyn check up and mentioned my sister's diagnosis to my doctor. He suggested that I have a transvaginal ultrasound as a baseline for future reference. The ultrasound showed a small cyst on one of my ovaries. My doctor and I decided that it would be prudent to re-check the cyst with another ultrasound in 6 weeks. The next day he called me at home and said that he was probably overreacting, but he had been thinking about my situation and thought it may be best to remove the cyst for a biopsy–"just to be sure it is nothing." Three days later I awoke from surgery and was told that the pathology showed that the cyst was indeed ovarian cancer. My doctor had requested a gyn oncology surgeon to be on stand-by during my surgery. The cyst was small, but fragile, and it broke open when they tried to remove it. They flushed my abdomen with large amounts of saline to try to remove all of the cancer cells. I was 40 years old with two childern to raise. My husband and I were afraid and surprised at the diagnosis. Several weeks later I began the same chemotherapy treatment that my sister was receiving (Taxol and Carboplatin). Both of us became very sick with the chemo. We were in different cities, but spoke on the phone nearly every day and supported one another through the ordeal. Ultimately my sister passed away in August of 2000. This was so very heartbreaking. To this day I still have survivors' guilt, even though I know that it is not rational. It is still with me never the less. After I recovered from chemo and after my sister passed away I was tested for the BRCA mutation and was positive. The genetic counselor and genetic physician told me that I had a very high probability of developing breast cancer (85-90% chance) at a fairly young age. I elected to have a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. It was a difficult decision, but once the decision was made, I never looked back. I am still alive 10 years later with no recurrence. My husband and I feel very grateful to an astute physician who follewed his instincts.

I am 19 yrs old and about a month ago my mother was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer as well. It too spread to her liver and is also in her lungs. We have never had any sort of cancer in our family and because of this it makes me want to inform more women that they must get checked!!!
Caitlin Noah-Sayers – 12/23/2009
Thank you for your uplifting story. My mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November 2006. She had been experiencing abdominal pain for a few months prior to her diagnosis. She went to her doctor and they thought it was a gallbladder issue but they couldn't find anything. So, my mom quietly went about her life. Finally, her pain worsened and she was bloated. By the time of her diagnosis, she was stage IV. She had a full hysterectomy and they began chemo while she was still in the hospital. She returned home, responded very well to chemo, and was in remission for two years. About a year ago, she began having blockages. It got to the point where she was afraid to travel or be away from home in case of an episode. So she went in for a scheduled surgery on 10/12/09. The small intestine was so coiled up from scar tissue, they had to remove 3/5 of her small intestine. They found a lot more tumor during that surgery but couldn't remove it. We came to terms with that and thought she'd just begin a new chemo cocktail. A few days after surgery, she noted horrible back pain. The nurses were even rubbing Ben Gay on her back! Then her vitals began alarming the doctors. They did an emergency surgery on 10/18 and found that some tumor had bored a hole in her colon. She was in septic shock. They put her in the ICU for nine days. It was a roller coaster ride—some days her doctors were very optimistic—white blood cell count great, urine production great, no temp, etc. One morning, she vomited a little and they took her for a CT scan. We learned there was more leakage and there was nothing else that could be done. The hardest day of my life.
So, my dear mom lost her battle on 10/29/09, at the young age of 67. My sister and I will be vigilant in having our ultrasounds and blood work done. The key it seems to me is early detection. We had to learn the hard way. I wish all the women on here the best.
Ann Castro – 01/05/2010
My mother passed away on October 7, 2005 from stage IV ovarian cancer. She was 83. Because of this, I was checked every year with an ultrasound and a CA125. In 2008, I had some very vague symptoms – very slight bloating and constipation. The constipation lingered and in late October 2008, I went to my family doctor. I also complained of some tenderness in my lower left quadrant. She examined me and felt "something." This was on a Monday, and on Friday I had a transvaginal ultrasound. The tech had been talking to me and then all of a sudden became very quiet. She asked me about any symptoms. I knew better than to ask what she found because as an RN, I knew she couldn't tell me anything. On the following Monday morning, I got the phone call that you never want to get. It was my doctor, she told me that I a "very large mass" on my right ovary. From there my life changed drastically. To make a long story short. I am surviving stage IIIc. My last chemotherapy treatment was April 15, 2009. I have been told I am a miracle. I love miracles! My advise is to listen to your body, the very most vague symptoms can change your life forever!
Terri Harvey – 02/18/2010
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry for the loss of your sister. You are a wonderful success story with 10+ years. Best wishes.

Thank you for posting on my wall, I am so delinquent in responding! Your story gives me chills, as I can't imagine the feeling of having cancer at the same time as your sister. My three sisters have all been healthy but do the transvaginal ultrasounds each year now, too. No fun, but well worth it to be safe. Life is as back to normal for me, though blood tests monthly often cause small heart palpitations. I've come to the realization that cancer has actually had a very positive effect in my life. Priorities certainly become much clearer and simple annoyances just don't matter anymore. I hope you find much continued health. Best wishes to you!

I drove down to Cadiz, which is a nice wee town on the coast of southern Spain. It�s actually a very strange peninsula, practically an island, very touristy, but muy bonito. There�s a nice castle/fort kinda thing, then an amazing Cathedral called Torre de Poiente which we climbed up for a spectular view of the city. Some more Tapas for lunch, a walk along the beach, watched the sunset with an ice-cream, then it was time to drive back Seville. A nice day all round. :-)

Publishing History
In 1916 Stith Thompson, then secretary, oversaw the publication of the Society's first volume, for which Kittredge wrote the preface. This volume was entitled Publication No. I, and was reprinted in 1935 as Round the Levee. In 1923 J. Frank Dobie took over as secretary-editor, and in the following twenty years of his tenure edited an impressive collection of Texas and Mexican border lore in sixteen numbered volumes. Ever since Publication No. II was issued in 1923, the Society has sent out a book annually to its members, although some have not been numbered publications of its own.
The tradition established by J. Frank Dobie was continued by Mody C. Boatright when he assumed the office of secretary-editor in 1943. He had assisted Dobie in editing Dobie's last five volumes. Harry Ransom also participated in editing the last four. Boatright served for twenty years and produced fifteen volumes. He was succeeded by Wilson M. Hudson, who had been associate editor since 1951.
In 1971 the Society's office was moved to the Stephen F. Austin State University campus in Nacogdoches, and Francis Edward Abernethy became the Secretary-Editor. Abernethy edited fifteen volumes of the PTFS and wrote a three-volume history of the Texas Folklore Society: Volume I (1909 - 1943); Volume II (1943-1971); and Volume III (1971 - 2000).
In 2004, Kenneth L. Untiedt became the sixth Secretary-Editor, after Abernethy's retirement.
The volumes published by the Society contain many of the papers read at its meetings and other articles both volunteered and solicited. Most contributions are the product of original collection, and together they constitute a wealth of material in the various branches of folklore. Some topics dealt with in past publications are home remedies for man and beast, cowboy songs, Negro songs and tales, games, oil field lore, diction used in various occupations, tales of border Mexicans, German customs, superstitions, weather signs, yarns about birds and snakes, Indian myths and legends, the origins of place names, lore of the high plains, of the Gulf Coast, of the brush country, household rhymes, and traditional songs. Texas Folk and Folklore (1954) is made up of items that appeared in earlier volumes. In recent publications the amount of space devoted to folklore studies as distinguished from folklore collections has increased.
There have been only six Secretary-Editors:
Stith Thompson (1916-1922)
J. Frank Dobie (1923-1942)
Mody Boatright (1943-1962)
Wilson Hudson (1963-1971)
F. E. Abernethy (1971-2004)
Kenneth L. Untiedt (2004-present)

The reality TV star, who was released from jail Tuesday after spending 24 hours behind bars on charges of battery for fighting with her ex-fiancé Gary Shirley, will soon be reunited with her 2-year-old daughter, Leah, according to her lawyer.
"It's my understanding that Leah will be placed back with her," attorney Robert Schembs tells PEOPLE.
On Monday Portwood, 20, was charged with three felonies, including two counts of domestic battery and one count of neglect of a dependent, as well as one misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. She was booked Monday afternoon and kept overnight at the Madison County jail in Anderson, Ind.
She is no longer allowed to have contact with Shirley, according to Schembs. Still, he adds, "To my knowledge, they're on good terms."
"I'm really proud of her," Schembs says, adding that he saw the reality TV star Monday night in jail. "She was staying strong. Her outlook was positive. She had shock, of course, but having said that, she was in good spirits. She's really trying."

Despite playing just one season for the Flyers, Jaromir Jagr, left a indelible impression. The owner of 681 career NHL goals, Jagr is scheduled to play his first game against his former team Tuesday night when the Boston Bruins visit the Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center.
Jagr had 19 goals and 35 assists for 54 points in 73 games with the Flyers last season and added a goal and seven assists in 11 playoff games.
He signed as a free agent with the Dallas Stars in the offseason and was traded to Boston on April 2.

Kingsbury Leaves Funny Note for Players
May 8th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
One of the advantages of new Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury being 33 years old is his ability to understand the mindset of 18- to 22-year-old young men — an ability to empathize that was on full, hilarious display with the note he left for Red Raider players prior to their departure for summer break.
"We advise you to be active over the break as you will need to be ready to work once June rolls around," Kingsbury wrote. "Sitting at the house playing COD ("Call of Duty")/2K13 ("NBA 2K13")/Madden against 12 year olds online doesn't suffice as activity even if you claim to 'wreck shop'. #BOOM #COMEATME"
And here we were thinking that Kingsbury singing along to "Juicy" by Biggie Smalls at practice would represent his high point of swag.


text: Susan Orangevale, CA 7/3/2008 10:41:43 AM Thanks to the AKC and "breeder mentality" folks who arrogantly think its their God-given right to "breed" their animals, thousands of healthy, perfectly adoptable dogs, cats, kittens and puppies will be put to death in shelters all over California. Are you all happy now? What has happened to a good bill is disgraceful! Every person who breeds animals should have to pay for a license and be restricted to a designated number of litters per year. If we didn't kill so many animals and there was actually a shortage of dogs and cats, etc., then I could understand the need to continuing breeding, but as long as we force people to do our "dirty work"--to kill these precious animals in shelters--and, as a result, create horrible traumatic situations for human beings that care, breeding should be severely restricted. We could have a moratorium on breeding for two full years and we'd still see a surplus of animals! Hey dog and cat lovers---what the hell is wrong with this picture? You don't love animals--you love the filthy lucre you're making!!!

Crash and Burnby Artie Lange Anthony Bozza
Veteran comedian and radio personality Artie Lange turns an unflinching eye and his signature wit on his perilous descent into drug addiction, life-threatening depression, and ultimately, his recovery, in the follow-up to his hilariously raw debut, #1 New York Times bestseller Too Fat to Fish. At a high point in his career, Artie Lange played a sold-out show in Carnegie Hall and totally killede"yet during his standing ovation, all he could think of were the two bags of heroin in his pocket. In the midst of a deep, self-destructive depression, addicted to heroin and prescription drugs, he lashed out at everyone around hime" from his fellow cast members on The Howard Stern Show, to celebrity guests, his longtime friends, and even his own family. By turns dark and disturbing, hilarious and heartbreaking, and always drop-dead honest, Crash and Burn lifts the curtain on Artiee(tm)s dangerous slide, and offers a new, crystal-clear window into the mind of the addict. For the first time, Artie reveals all: the full truth behind his now legendary Stern Show meltdown, his suicide attempt (which he relates in terrifying detail), surprising stints in rehab, and painful relapses. With the help and support of friends and family, Artie claws his way back, turning his life and career around. And despite his slipups, backslides, and permanent losses, Artie forges on. With Crash and Burn, Artie Lange goes all-in, confessing a story that is as shocking as it is funny, ever tempered by his characteristic humor, self-awareness, and inimitable way with words.
Too Fat to Fishby Artie Lange Anthony Bozza
Outrageous, raw, and painfully funny true stories straight from the life of the actor, comedian, and much-loved cast member of The Howard Stern Show, with a foreword by Howard Stern. When Artie Lange joined the permanent cast of The Howard Stern Show in 2001, it was possibly the greatest thing ever to happen in the Stern universe, second only to the show's move to the wild, uncensored frontier of satellite radio. Lange provided what Stern had yet to find all in the same place: a wit quick enough to keep pace with his own, a pathetic self-image to dwarf his own, a personal history both heartbreaking and hilarious, and an ingrained sense of self-sabotage that continually keeps things interesting. A natural storyteller with a bottomless pit of material, Lange grew up in a close-knit, working-class Italian family in Union, New Jersey, a maniacal Yankees fan who pursued the two things his father said he was cut out for: sports and comedy. Tragically, Artie Lange Sr. never saw the truth in that prediction: He became a quadriplegic in an accident when Artie was eighteen and died soon after. But as with every trial in his life, from his drug addiction to his obesity to his fights with his mother, Artie mines the humor, pathos, and humanity in these events and turns them into comedy classics. True fans of the Stern Show will find Artie gold in these pages: hilarious tales that couldn't have happened to anyone else. There are stories from his days driving a Jersey cab, working as a longshoreman in Port Newark, and navigating the dark circuit of stand-up comedy. There are outrageous episodes from the frenzied heights of his coked-up days at MADtv, surprisingly moving stories from his childhood, and an account of his recent U. S. O. tour that is equally stirring and irreverent. But also in this volume are stories Artie's never told before, including some that he deemed too revealing for radio. Wild, shocking, and drop-dead hilarious, TOO FAT TO FISH is Artie Lange giving everything he's got to give. And like a true pro, the man never disappoints.

The quest for a berth at the state tournament this weekend in Butte had not been determined at press time. Hamilton finished second at the Southwestern A tournament in Butte but Stevensville earned the right to challenge the Lady Broncs. That challenge game was Monday night in Corvallis. (See www.bitterrootstar.com for the outcome and details of that game.)
The tournament was a weekend of extreme highs and lows for the Lady Yellowjackets of Stevensville. They opened against Corvallis on Thursday. Prior to the game, Corvallis had only won one game this season. But the Blue Devils were on fire, and the 'Lady Jackets were not.
"The girls came out not to lose, that first part against Corvallis and Corvallis took advantage of it," said Brandon Day, coach of the Lady Yellowjackets.
Corvallis took a four-point lead into the locker room at the half and then held off a surging Stevensville team to win, 35-33. Alycia Sims, Stevensville's post player, said she thought her team was not clicking to begin with. "We were off to start off with and then everyone went into their hole and didn't want the ball. It just went downhill from there."
Corvallis was led by Lakyn Connors who scored 13 points. Jordan Miller added 10 in the win.
"The last week, they really came together and started to believe in themselves," said Corvallis coach Jay Jessop. "They had confidence in each other. Unfortunately it was right at the end."
Corvallis 35, Stevensville 33
Corvallis – Lakyn Connors 13, Carlie Jessop 2, Courtney Albright 5, Chelsi Clark 4, Jordan Miller 10, Sydonia Curtis 1.
Stevensville – Kyla Paulsen 4, Alycia Sims 14, Bailey Vercruyssen 4, Carly Sebastian 4, Carly Vercruyssen 4, Courtney Tvedt 3.
Corvallis then advanced to the semi finals where they met up with Hamilton. The Blue Devils stayed with Hamilton for a quarter before the Lady Broncs broke lose. They went on to win, 55-34.
Hamilton coach Mark Albert had high praise for Corvallis. "We got their best. And they got the jitters out yesterday. This was our first tournament game ever."
The Lady Broncs showed a bit of nervousness in their first game of the season but soon shook it off. Although they built up a sizable lead, Albert said he didn't really play it safe until the last two minutes of the game when he subbed in his more inexperienced players. Taylor Goligoski led all scorers with 23 points. Jaylee Albert had 10 rebounds for Hamilton and Sami Kratofil swatted two blocks.
Corvallis was led by Connors who had 13 points. Miller, Carlie Jessop and Connors each had six rebounds.
Hamilton 55, Corvallis 34
Corvallis – Courtney Albright 6, Connors 13, Miller 4, C. Jessop 10, Kayla Lewis 1.
Hamilton – Taylor Goligoski 23, Kali Hayes 10, Sami Kratofil 5, Jaylee Albert 10, Bri Huggans 2, McKayl Rothie 3, Ellie Hurlbert 2.
After losing to Corvallis, Stevensville had to come back through the loser bracket. They took on Anaconda Saturday morning at the Butte Civic Center. At first, Stevensville was a bit tentative but came out strongly in the third quarter. Sims hit a long shot to give Stevensville an edge but the Copperheads wouldn't back off. The game was tied with 35 seconds remaining. Sims hit two free throws to put Stevensville up, 40-38, with nine seconds remaining. A last shot by Anaconda went into the basket and then rolled back out at the buzzer, giving Stevensville the win. Sims finished with 21 points. Kayla Peterson, who had not played in the Corvallis game, was back from being ill and made a difference according to Coach Day.
Stevensville then had to play Dillon for third place. Both teams were tired but Stevensville seemed to find their legs and put up 16 points in the fourth quarter to win, 49-37.
"It actually turned out alright for us, with Kayla (Peterson) being sick. Gave her an extra day off to get healthy," said Day. "The girls really stepped up. This morning was a really tough game. Anaconda played really hard like they always do and it was a battle to the end. Dillon is always tough. Tonight was the best I've seen them play."
Sims finished with 21 points and Kyla Paulsen had 17 points.
Hamilton took on Butte Central in the championship game. Butte Central has played in the state championship game in the last two years. They are a senior-laden team according to Albert, while his team has only one junior and the rest are sophomores.
The Maroons came out strongly and built up a nine-point lead in the first quarter. They went on to win, 44-32. Goligoski had 23 points.
"We're just happy to still be playing," said Albert. He also said that Monday's game was not a given. "Stevensville is playing really well. The kids played really hard. There was some good girls' basketball. The better team won tonight. No doubt. "

As the year winds down, critics have begun compiling their, "Best of 2007″ lists. On the "top albums†lists, one is going to find Panda Bear's (aka Noah Lennox's) Person Pitch come up frequently.
On the inside cover of Person Pitch is a list of "thank you's†that includes a number of artists. The top two are, Basic Channel and Luomo, minimal techno artists. This is not surprising considering Person Pitch is a sampled album. In basic structure, it's not that different from what one may find on a minimal techno record, but the rub is in the samples Panda Bear has chosen. Rather then blips and bleeps, one is going to find claps, voices from a choir, a roller coaster, someone crying, an owl, guitars, Panda Bear's vocals, which sound eerily similar to Brian Wilson's, and interestingly enough, sounds and instruments that are reminiscent of those used in Pet Sounds (see Bros and Ponytail).
One thing this decade will be remembered for is the way artists are beginning to use digital technology to do new and different things with samples. Girl Talk and A-trak are examples of this, so are Panda Bear and Animal Collective, though in a completely different light. Girl Talk and A-trak use them to make the ultimate mix-tape. Panda Bear uses samples to convert into an album his appreciation of different experiences and influences. Person Pitch is not just a beautiful record, its also a personal statement about being an artist and how one should conduct himself as such.

and websites who try to
shape your style

AND THAT KEPT KIDS WAITING AS OTHER BUSES ON THEIR MORNING RUNS HAD TO DIVERT THEIR ROUTES TO PICK UP KIDS ...SOME HAVING TO WAIT AS LONG AS AN HOUR BEFORE THEY WERE PICKED UP. AND THAT DOESN'T SIT WELL WITH PARENTS. For them to have to stay out there any longer than 10 minutes, as cold as it is...naw, I wouldn't be very happy at all if they had to be out there longer than that. IT WAS THE BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING AND NOT ICY ROADS THAT CAUSED DELAYS...AS THE FREEZING COLD CONDITIONS DRAINED THE BATTERIES ON SOME OF THOSE BUSES THIS MORNING. JESS CAMPBELL HAS TWO CHILDREN WHO GO TO SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT AND HE USUALLY DROPS THEM OFF. BUT IF THEY DID HAVE TO CATCH THE BUS, HE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THE DISTRICT WOULD BE WATCHING OUT FOR THEM. Surely they could do something there to make sure that all the buses will start and be able to get out there on time, you know, even if they had to show up early. TAG: NOW BENTONVILLE SCHOOLS ARE PLANNING TO BE OPEN TOMORROW, BUT WILL ONLY HAVE LIMITED BUS SERVICE. WE REACHED OUT TO BENTONVILLE SCHOOLS FOR A COMMENT ON THEIR PLANS TO MAKE SURE BUSES ARE READY FOR TOMORROW, BUT SCHOOL OFFICIALS DID NOT RETURN OUR CALLS.

New Chair and Commissioners for National Water Commission
Media release from Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and Urban Water Senator Don Farrell - 29 June 2012
Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and Urban Water, Senator Don Farrell, today announced the appointment of a new Chair and reappointed Commissioners to the National Water Commission.
Former South Australian Nationals MP and Minister for Water Security and the River Murray, Ms Karlene Maywald, has been appointed Chair and Commissioner for a three year term.
Senator Farrell said Ms Maywald brings a high level of expertise in water resource management to the role.
'Karlene Maywald was South Australia's Minister for Water Security and the River Murray during one of the worst drought periods in living memory. She has a proven, long-standing track record in water management and is passionate about water reform in Australia,' he said.
Australian Government-nominated Commissioner Mr Robert Freeman, former Chief Executive Officer of the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, has been reappointed. The two Commissioners nominated by the states and territories – Professor Stuart Bunn, Director of the Australian Rivers Institute, and Mr Chris Davis, former CEO of the Australian Water Association – have also been reappointed.
The Government will announce a fifth Commissioner as soon as the appointment process is completed.
'I know these Commissioners will make an important contribution to the ongoing work of the Commission,' Senator Farrell said.
'They bring a great wealth of knowledge and experience to the Commission's work in addressing key challenges in the ongoing implementation of the COAG water reform agenda, including oversight of Murray-Darling Basin reforms.'
Senator Farrell thanked outgoing Commissioners Ms Elaine Gardiner, Mr Lawrence Arthur, and Ms Sally Farrier for their efforts in overseeing the important work of the Commission and wished them well in their future endeavours.
Senator Farrell also expressed particular appreciation to Professor Stuart Bunn for acting as Chair of the Commission since 1 April 2012.
In April 2012, COAG agreed to retain the National Water Commission with a focus on the functions of audit, monitoring and assessment of water reform.
The appointments take effect from 1 July 2012.

JERUSALEM — An Israeli police officer yesterday discovered a car-bomb set to explode near the Hilton Hotel where U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz was based during his Middle East peace mission.
The Palestine Liberation Organization claimed responsibility for the booby trap and said Shultz was the target.
U.S. officials said the route of Shultz's motorcade did not pass near the bomb site, some 300 yards from the hotel. Jerusalem police said the bomb was safely dismantled.
Yasser Arafat's terrorist group, Al-Fatah, in a communique telephoned to the Associated Press office in West Beirut, said it had "instructed the Limassol martyrs group to park a bomb-laden car in front of the Hilton Hotel in Jerusalem targeting Shultz, the messenger of imperialism, as well as the Zionist entity, in response to the Zionist brutality against our people in the occupied territories and to avenge our people's martyrs.

International Peace Day commemorated in Santiago de Chile
In the framework of activities relating to International Peace Day, which is internationally celebrated on 21 September each year, the Director of the Regional Bureau of Education for Latin America and the Caribbean, Jorge Sequeira, took part in an educational activity at the Colegio Rosario Concha school in La Florida, Santiago de Chile, on 27 August.
The event was attended by a number of officials in different government departments, as well as the ambassadors to Chile of Ecuador, Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. It was organised by UNESCO "Messengers of Peace" Ana Beatriz Rodríguez and Carlos Augusto Salazar.
In his speech, the director of UNESCO Santiago spoke of the importance of raising the awareness of all the world's children on their rights and on learning their own history and that of other nations to understand that all cultures are of equal dignity; he also said that we must learn not to repeat the crimes and violence of the past, building a tolerant citizenry in a globalised world. This challenge requires a generalised effort in teacher training and the design of adapted study plans and programmes.
The Director also stated that education for peace, democratic coexistence, and human rights help people to understand the broad diversity that exists in the world, and that instead of feeling threatened we should open our minds and spirits to value all contributions that bolster understanding and coexistence with different worldviews.
Jorge Sequeira also explained education's potential to prevent wars, one of the most powerful reasons for countries to advance towards guaranteeing the quality and continuity of teaching. For UNESCO, this is how we lay the foundations for future peace.
At the close of his speech, the UNESCO Santiago Director described some of the actions that UNESCO is taking in this area, such as:
- Supporting the worldwide Associated Schools Project, which includes projects in education for peace and democratic coexistence
- OREALC/UNESCO Santiago has engaged its Regional Education Statistics Programme to develop a methodological proposal to gauge the level to which countries have made advances towards achieving Quality Education for All. "Learning how to live together", respecting and valuing diversity and participation by all, based principally on analysis of curriculum content and regulations in force, are also indicators of quality education
- UNESCO Santiago is working in partnership with the "Valoras UC" programme at the Universidad Católica de Chile. A number of joint projects have helped to support coexistence management and to address the need to conduct a systematic initiative to create and strengthen "education communities" in order to achieve improved learning outcomes for all.

International Peace Day, established by the General Assembly of the United Nations to be held each year on 21 September, calls to strengthen the ideals of peace in all the world's nations and peoples.
This year, the celebration is dedicated to commemorating the 30th anniversary of the General Assembly Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace, which recognised that the promotion of peace is essential for the full enjoyment of all human rights. This day offers an opportunity to reaffirm the United Nations' commitment to the purposes and principles on which the Organization was founded.

*poke* you disappeared again!

*poke* you disappeared again!
I did. I keep forgetting to update. So, I'm still trying the leptin reset deal. I goofed up a bit this morning because I thought I had more time before my Crossfit on ramp class. Breakfast still tasted pretty awesome ;)
I think maybe I should keep a paper journal so I can keep track on here. The not snacking thing has been doing me some good at work. I can skip my first break if need be, but I usually read or do crosswords.
The Crossfit On Ramp classes have been fun so far! This morning was my last one. When I got there, some of the coaches, male ones, were shirtless and doing some of their own workout before the gym was opened for regular classes. Yep, found my motivation! Jeeze, the muscles on these guys! However, that was 50% of my motivation. The other 50% was seeing one of my female coaches hanging in there with the guys. Now that is just plain old kick ass!
I'm singing the National Anthem at the local roller derby game tonight! It's time for me to get dinner started :)
How neat that you are singing the anthem! I can't sing, nevertheless, that is one thing I would love to do, as a fantasy. I would do all four verses, 'cause I am an anthem geek. :)
Man, I am really struggling to keep this up to date lately! Lol, it's not that I don't have the time. I play on the net in the evenings. I wonder what's really going on here.
While I've been trying reset my leptin, it's not working in the aspect that I have a hard time not working out. Part of that is due to the fact that I dedicated money to start Crossfit and I don't like the idea of paying for it and not using it. The class has been good for me so far. So, giving up the exercising isn't going to happen. I'm only going three times a week and I plan to keep it that way. I do like the eating almost as soon as I get up part and making time to be mindful in the morning. The mindful part for me is time in meditation with God before I take off for the day. What I will take away from it is that I need to not snack (unless I have good reason to). Eating all that protein in the morning is definitely making it easier for me to not snack until it's lunch time. It's also forcing me to realize that I've been eating when I'm not all that hungry. Well, lesson learned, right?
Oh yeah, I tried making mayo with coconut oil. Uhm, not the best idea in the world! Oh well!
I've had good luck with light olive oil for mayo. Siobhan just tried sunflower oil with good results too.
I think snacking is a good habit to break. Not that I'm against it when we are hungry, or occasionally (key word) for social reasons, but just out of habit, not so good. When I do snack, I try to adjust my eating for the rest of the day. Or have two snacks instead of one meal. I try not to get anal or legalistic about this. I just aim to keep my eating reasonable and flexible.
Hey Beautiful! Where've you been hiding?
Work, school starting, and church. Sort of trying to back off my use of the net, but it's not working so greatly. I did start a new position at work. Phew! I've got to be walking somewhere close to about 2 miles a day at work going back and forth to answer stuff. The good news is that the job is keeping me busy, so I don't have too much time to get into trouble.
I also discovered a way to make some homemade chocolate candies with coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla, and whatever nuts I have in the fridge.
Hey there. Good to see you.
Welcome back. :)
Alessandra's version of Judg Fudge, eh? Have you tried stevia in there? (The stuff from a bottle, not the packets with the additives.)

Frequent Questions and Concerns about Social Networking
What is online social networking?
Online social networking is when kids connect with other people online through certain websites. The most common for kids today include Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter. Each person creates his or her own account and page, and posts information, photos, video, and comments. When a person "friends" another person through a social networking site, that person can then access the other person's page and make comments, upload photos and so on. Right now, most kids think social networking is the best way to connect with others (outside of actually being and talking with them).
Learn more about the components of social networking >
Is social networking safe for kids?
It depends on how old your child is, what she posts online, and what she knows about online safety. Although most social networking sites require kids to be a certain age (often 13) to sign up, many kids as young as eight years old are lying about their age and getting involved in social networking. You want to make sure your child understands how a social networking site works and which information is safe to post.
Learn more about keeping kids safe online >
Most social networking sites feature strong privacy settings that enable your child to decide which information to share with all other users of that site can see, and which is restricted only to friends. Understanding and using these settings is important not only for your child's safety, but also to prevent any unwanted embarrassment or vulnerability.
Often, the default settings on social networking sites are set to "public." Make sure to visit the privacy page of any social networking site with your child to change the settings. Many sites provide a high degree of flexibility in deciding which elements of a profile to share. The safest settings are to restrict access to all parts of a profile to approved friends only. Your child also has the option to block certain people from seeing her or his page, and often the ability to pre-approve all comments posted on the page.
Should parents become friends of their kids online?
A number of parents won't let their kids (especially their younger kids) have a social networking site unless the parent is allowed to be a friend. As a parent, this is a safety measure and is meant to give you access to monitor what's going on. If you are your child's social network friend, be careful not to post messages or photos that would embarrass your child. As kids get older (such as in high school), many "defriend" their parents or refuse to allow them access. This is part of normal teenage separation. Just make sure you're clear about how you expect your teen to act online and that cyberbullying, sexting, and inappropriate postings are not allowed.
- Array
this site answered my questions!
This is from an article I found, following my 14 year old son's trip to the ER last week, because he thought he could drink. While I realize that social networking is not the only reason, I do believe it was a considerable contributing factor. He was on Instagram, text +, and facebook regularly. I was monitoring his posts/texts, but I still did not realize that by seeing drugs and alcohol being used by other kids on a regular basis, this cyber world was normalizing substance abuse with thousands of images a day.
Please read this, and please monitor and or limit your kids' social networking. According to this, 65% of parents don't. My son will not be part of these now, and I'm not sure when or if I will feel it's safe for him to do so. Please let my experience prevent you having to go there!
Study: Teens who use social media more likely to drink, use drugs

Chicago Tribune | National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse
American teens who in a typical day spend any time on social networking sites are at increased risk of smoking, drinking and drug use, according to a back-to-school survey [PDF] by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. It found:
Compared to teens that spend no time on social networking sites in a typical day, teens that do are:
- Five times likelier to use tobacco;
- Three times likelier to use alcohol; and
- Twice as likely to use marijuana.
ya its true…..i m 20 yrs old.I think it must be taken care of that kid must not be involved in stuffs which are not of any use….or wastage of time and creating problems for themselves.Parents must direct them towards some other creative tasks…..and give time to their kids as much as they can…
this site is of no use
Medie network is very items to seen and most interesting.
Need more information not enough. ...
wow this was useful im 13 years old and doing a home learning project about social networking!

AUSTIN (AP) - Texas Attorney General John Cornyn pledged Wednesday to appeal a federal judge's ruling that blocks his attempt to question five lawyers who negotiated the state's tobacco settlement.
U.S. District Judge David Folsom of Texarkana in a 39-page ruling issued Tuesday rejected Cornyn's argument that he has a constitutional right to question the lawyers through state district court.
The judge also wrote that Cornyn is "generally undermining" the state's $17.3 billion settlement with big tobacco and that if he were to prevail against the lawyers, damages the state received "conceivably would upset . . . the settlement scheme."
Folsom's ruling was not a surprise, said Cornyn, who called the tobacco settlement "a final judgment" and denied he was endangering it. Cornyn said he will appeal the judge's ruling to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
"We've been met with nothing but resistance and a stiff arm," Cornyn said. "If these lawyers have nothing to hide, then why are they being so resistant for lo these many months, these many years?"
The lawyers - Walter Umphrey and Wayne Reaud of Beaumont, John O'Quinn and John Eddie Williams of Houston and Harold Nix of Daingerfield - have denied wrongdoing. They said they wanted any questioning to be under the oversight of Folsom's court, where the tobacco lawsuit was settled.
Their attorney, Michael Tigar, said the lawyers will now prepare for the next step in the legal process. He had little to say about Folsom's detailed decision.
"The ruling speaks for itself," Tigar said, adding that the matter should be tried in the courts, not the news media.
Cornyn is investigating allegations of malfeasance in connection with the hiring of the private attorneys by Cornyn's Democratic predecessor, Dan Morales. The trial lawyers are receiving $3.3 billion in attorneys' fees for the tobacco case.
Cornyn wanted to question the attorneys under oath as part of a "discovery proceeding" in state district court in Houston. He contends the federal court shouldn't be stepping into the state investigation.
But Tigar succeeded in moving the case to the Texarkana federal court.
The lawyers have alleged Cornyn, a Republican, has political motives behind his probe.
"I understand that's an easy allegation to make. But the truth is, I'm just doing my duty," Cornyn said.
Attorney Joe Jamail alleged that the tobacco lawsuit lawyers were asked by Morales to pay money in return for being hired to represent the state in the tobacco litigation. Jamail, a prominent trial lawyer, said he decided not to get involved in the case.
Morales and each of the five attorneys Cornyn is investigating have denied Jamail's claim.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 review knows that the smartphone ranks among the best ones money can buy. It is an embodiment of high-end technology, and even though it doesn't come cheap, it offers quite a lot of bang for its buck, not to mention that the hardware tucked under its hood makes it quite future-proof. And yes, as you might guess, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is indeed better than its year-old predecessor, namely the Samsung Galaxy Note II. But what exactly makes it better and what has its maker improved upon in order to impress us this time around? And most importantly, is the Note II still worth holding on to now that its third iteration is out? Read on to find out.
We can only commend Samsung for treating its phablet to a solid hardware upgrade without that having a negative effect on the device's proportions. The width and height of the Galaxy Note 3 come really close to those of the year-old Note II (151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm for the former vs 151 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm for the latter), with the new model being only slightly taller, yet a hair narrower and noticeably thinner. Moreover, at 168 grams, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is 14 grams lighter than the Note II, and is a tad easier to handle as a result.
Of course, one can simply forget about using the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 single-handedly as it is still as challenging to wield as its predecessor. But at the end of the day, that's a common trait for all phablets, so we can't complain, especially when we're compensated with that huge, gorgeous touchscreen. While the Samsung Galaxy Note II and Note 3 fit in larger pockets, they are quite bulky and some users will find them uncomfortable to carry around.
With its body made of glossy plastic, the Samsung Galaxy Note II looks and feels rather ordinary, especially now that we've grown tired of seeing the same design being rehashed over and over again. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 can't be described as a luxury device either, but it feels better to the touch with its leather-like back plate. Unlike its glossy counterpart, the Note 3 resists fingerprints well and has a lot more grip thanks to its textured surface.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note II come with removable back covers, underneath which reside the slots for their SIM and microSD cards. Their batteries are also found there and are user-replaceable.
Physical buttons on both smartphones are arranged in an identical manner, with a physical "Home" key below the screen, accompanied by capacitive "Menu" and "Back" buttons. The power and volume buttons are placed on the right and left sides of these devices. We can gladly say that all buttons are easy to reach and operate. It is also nice that the capacitive keys on the Note 3 can be operated with the S Pen's tip. Speaking of which...

The slightly smaller, 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen on the Samsung Galaxy Note II sure looked great when we first saw it in person. But with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels (resulting in a density of just 265 ppi), it is unable to deliver the same level of smoothness and detail achieved by the Note 3's display. Color representation is, again, a bit exaggerated and somewhat less accurate, but it can be adjusted to a more natural setting via the options menu.
One more thing that sets these two smartphones' screens apart is their brightness output. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is relatively easy to use outdoors since its display shines quite brightly, while the Note II looks much dimmer when exposed to the sun's rays. Viewing angles are also better on the Note 3 as there's little color degradation when it is looked at from the side. The display on the Note II, on the other hand, turns blue even at moderate angles – not a deal breaker, but a flaw nonetheless.
Display measurements and quality

|Minimum brightness (nits)Lower is better

Yo Nick, the Note 3 still has the brightest mobile screen ever at 660 cd/m2 (auto mode). Movie mode is also very color-accurate.

Samsung don't need any worshipper. If they continue to provide top end spec and timely software update many will continue to buy Samsung phone.

Every OEM is guilty of "boosting" benchmarks. Comment invalidated.
32. ZPM101 (Posts: 28; Member since: 12 Apr 2010)
The only thing invalidated is your use of the word "guilty" in this context. Would it not make logical sense to to maximize performance based tests using all available resources?! Manufacturers are not guilty (in the negative connotation you express), but rather, being honest by showing the consumer what the performance expectations we can expect.

Fair enough, phonearena is still off by 100%.

It looks like he left the screen in whichever mode he received it. At least other reviewers tested various screen modes

I hate the way the note 2 looks with its round edges.. but the note 3 looks and feels pretty nice.
8. JDogg5281 (Posts: 64; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
Right now im thinking about sticking with my Note II. And just waiting til the Note 4 to upgrade. I just dont think it is really worth it in my opinion.
10. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Thats what I said when I thought about upgrading to the Note 2 last year. I ended up upgrading to the S3 because I knew that the Note 3 would be better than the Note 2 when it came out.
Cell phones advance every 6-12 months so I think that your comment is normal among us

If you choose to wait for the next best thing in technology, you'll always be waiting.

I have rooted my Note 2 and can wait another year to get an updated one. I'm running 4.3 on it and it is great, like having a new device.
21. Larry_ThaGr81 (Posts: 441; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Yeah I'm waiting for the Note IV because the improvements for the Note III vs the Note II are minor. Hopefully the Note IV will have a fingerprint scanner onboard.
24. saffant (Posts: 274; Member since: 04 Jul 2011)
Nope. Improvements are fairly big, but I guess you're looking for something else.
22. Larry_ThaGr81 (Posts: 441; Member since: 26 May 2011)
AOSP or Touchwiz???
28. Razrman (Posts: 76; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
AOSP, Paranoid Android, features are pretty good, you should check it out.

My note 2 is just fine so im going stick with it plus the next big phone from Samsung might just be the youm flex screen technology like in that commercial

Come on, phonearena. This is the second article that got the max brightness of the Note 3 wrong by half. The sad part is, you reported the story where it actually was over 600nits max before these two.
12. mobigeek (Posts: 11; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
My note 3 is having battery and heat issues. Can someone help?
13. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
If you are having issues with your note 3 it's probable a faulty model. I will advice you to return it for another one. Mine was freezing and heating and I returned it and got a new one. Haven't faced any issues since. Excellent device, by the way phonearena stop reporting wrong hardware specs of the note 3. It has a maximum of 660nits brightness not 310. Shame on you guys
16. rallyguy (Posts: 620; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
I'm loving my note 3. I upgraded a week ago from a Galaxy Nexus. Wow!
You can't knock it for being a two handed device most of the time. You know that. Fits in my cargo/pant pockets just fine.
Good article Nick. I enjoy reading articles by you and Michael H. Fair and reasonable without any extreme and obvious bias.

What Note 2 model comes with a FM radio? I have the AT&T version SGH-i317 and it doesn't have one....

I appreciate it may be brighter in sun, but only slightly and still does not seem to approach the Xperia.
I am VERY disappointed it does not have FRONT speaker(s), ala HTC. Worse it seems specked at a lower volume. This comparason does not mention that speaker is now on "bottom", but that does not compare to HTC's (dual) front speakers.
I am still not sure I will upgrade (probably NOT), and will instead consider the HTC-MAX.

PhoneArena - if you not going to fixed it, stop commenting/reviewing on Note 3.
it is big misleading, everyone know it.
The brightness is around 650, not as low as yours one 310.
What a shame such big site can't proper do measurement and keep given false alarm.

sony xperia Z1 honami is the best in all compare, buy it and enjoy the real mobile phone , its cheaper than Note III and camera is far better
Its much faster than Note III and GS IV
It has better look then all samy brands
Its made in Japan
the only disadvantage of Z1 that its batery is unexchangable

In my country, Xperia Z1 is same price as Note 3.
And Z1 is made in China. No Sony phone sell worldwide is made in Japan.

The only advantage of the screen of the Note3 versus Note 2 is in broad day light. The screen of the Note 2 in my opinion is still better than some recent 1080p screens. It is silky smooth, a pleasure for me to read the newspapers in the train. I haven't seen the Sony though but I don't care for the LG. I thought the screen of the Note 2 was bested by the new 720p amoled screen of the Motorola that has more blacks.

The Note 2 is still a pretty relevant phone, I have no complaints with mine.

2GB of RAM, quad core 1.6, awesome screen, huge battery, and best of all, its getting Android 4.3 very very soon. u bet its pretty relevant :)

From Note to Note (3) they got it wrong in my opinion. It is an innovative phone, a game changer and now everybody is coming up with a phablet. When Apple has one they will say the screen is OK. They need an adult to supervise their reviews.

Where is that tech that shows a device folding out into a tablet? until then i don't think an upgrade from my note 2 is necessary.
34. mine1975 (Posts: 2; Member since: 14 Oct 2013)
just went to see these phone at the tele shop. s4 is simply not my type for the plastic back. the note 3 caught my eyesight as the design is better. but i have concern over the textured back. over prolong use it might stain with yellow and black. so i settle for xperia z1.

Most of these new flagship phones imho are good choices.

Definitely can be used with one hand, just need to use a Flygrip on it. Get with the times.

It is an improvement from the Note 2, but not so much as to make me want to upgrade to one. Looks good and feels good. I have seen them have freezing and overheating issues though. Still a great phone if you want the latest and greatest from Samsung.

I am happy with my note 2...HD or FHD does not matter much for a phone. Note 2 screen is the best screen samsung ever produced, even phone arena agreed to this in their review of note 2. I have never felt any lag in the device even while playing big games. Defo, Note 3 is an improvement but I would not like to spend money on a minor upgraded version.

wait for Note 4, and i am with u
50. Larry_ThaGr81 (Posts: 441; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Bingo!!! The enhancements are too minor for me to also jump ship from my Note 2 to a Note 3. I'm patiently waiting for the Note 4 to come out because my Note 2 is still a top of the line performer, even after a year.
51. Larry_ThaGr81 (Posts: 441; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Factors that will influence my decision for buying the Note 4 will be the fact that I've owned my Note 2 for at least two years, the Note 4 will probably have a finger print scanner, a 16MP camera sensor, and probably be the last Note series phone that Verizon offers with CDMA support since they are moving to an all data support infracture.

I don't understand why someone would pay $300 for a plastic phone. I understand the PPI and size, but cheap plastic? I thought it was a premium phone....

Paying $860 for iPhone 5s is reasonable? Go on Samsung leave the Evil Apple behind.
46. skyline88 (Posts: 458; Member since: 15 Jul 2013)
paying $300 for plastic phone with awesome specs, mind-boggling capabilities and top notch user-friendly might not sound good to u, but its way better than paying $600-700 for a phone which basically can do nothing much, having tiny little screen and hopeless user experience equipped with 64GB of internal memory.
52. Larry_ThaGr81 (Posts: 441; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Very simple, you are concerned about a premium looking appearance as where many other people are concerned about premium performance, features and add ons. More specifically the user replaceable battery, the micro sd card expansion slot, the Snap Dragon 800 chipset, etc.
I'd trade the construction of my phone for all the other benefits that Samsung offers over its competitors such as Apple, HTC, etc.

cheap plastic is the best there's nothing better then the note or the note 3

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was the best smartphone ever produced by Samsung, some people may not like the size of the phone. But, it is not just a simple smartphone is a pocket pc with some great multitasking features. Now with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Samsung have pushed it's abilities the max. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the smartphone on which you can literaly do all your work with ease which was not possible before without a pc. I love the way you can so easily drag and drop things around between different apps. Find Samsung mobile prices in Pakisan here: http://www.mobilespecs.pk/phon

I ended up getting the LG G2 this go around. Unlike most of you, i don't feel the need to bash any products, I like them all. I could see myself getting the Note 4, but who knows, at that point there may be some pretty cool flexible displays available. I really want a 4 inch phone that folds out to a 10 inch tablet. Maybe in 5 years? fingers crossed...

I love my Note II with only a very few exceptions - volume is not loud enough for my deaf ears, I lost the precious buillt-in FM radio I had with my HTC phone, and the buttons for volume are placed exactly where my mitts hold the phone, so I am constantly changing the volume of the ringer or the conversation without wanting to do so. Those are the only complaints I have with it and there are so many plusses, I am still happy with my purchase and will most likely stay with the NII until the IV arrives.

As someone who currently uses both phones I can tell you that the screen is much clearer and brighter on the Note 3. I don't think the difference lies in the fact that we are comparing a 1080 vs 720 screen but the Note 3 seems to have much better panel, with better brightness, contrast and color. The Note 3 is lighter and faster but the battery lasts about the same amount of time as the Note 2. The note 3 does feel a little more cheaply built. My note 3 does suffer from the wiggly home button and my Note 2 does not. The signal on my note 3 is always 5-10dbm better than on the note 2. I can overclock my Note 3 to 2.9ghz and it runs fine with no reboots. I can overclock my note 2 to around 2ghz but anything higher than that causes reboots. I drop calls sometimes with my note 2 due to it getting a -105dbm signal in my basement but my note 3 never drops calls and hovers around -97 in my basement.

What About Note 3 Neo ?
61. GrosseFatigue (Posts: 139; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
I think you have to look beyond the plastic as they have at Phone Arena and look at the capabilities of the Note 3. Best screen in the business, best camera and now I think Android is better than OS as well. Now rated 3 points above the iphone. The screen of the Note 2 was easy to brake (I did it twice) and unwieldy, slipping of your hand easily. A long shot as good as the Note. I could live happily with the Note 3 but the 4 slightly narrower and more elongated body is better. It is faster still with still a better camera. Other than that there is less difference than between a 2 and a 3. The 3 is much better than the 2 by a wide margin. I can see myself getting a used 3 on ebay for $300 while I would never buy a 2 even if it was new for $200.
