FLINT, MI -- Given the city's problems with blight, Roxanne Adair's backyard chickens should be way down the pecking order for Flint ordinance inspectors, several neighbors told the City Council today, June 23.
"Backyard chickens are one of the most (appropriate) pets for a small yard," said David Derby, one of several residents to speak in support of Adair, the city's largest urban farmer, who was ticketed this month for keeping a small flock of chickens in her backyard.
Derby called Adair one of the city's "best and hardest-working residents," and several council members said they were willing to look at changing Flint's prohibition against raising poultry in residential areas.
"I heard loud and clear about the chickens," said Councilwoman Vicki VanBuren. "(But) it's going to take some kind of structure."
Adair, who has been given 30 days to relocate the hens from her property in city's College and Cultural area, said Flint should suspend enforcement of the ordinance forbidding chickens and develop a replacement in the meantime."
"We've been asking you to change this ordinance for eight years," she said of the city regulation that's been in place since 1968. "This city is such a different place than it was in 1968."
Flint is one of cities in Genesee County that does not allow people to raise chickens in their yards. The most recent attempt to change the city ordinance that prohibits it died when the City Council voted it down in 2010.
Councilman Joshua Freeman said he supported changing the ordinance then and still does, and Councilman Sheldon Neeley said he would add the subject to the next council Legislative Affairs Committee meeting in two weeks.
The subject of backyard chickens could be also be revisited as city planners consider changing ordinances to put them in alignment with Flint's new master plan.
Adair has been one of Flint's urban farming pioneers, helping to start the Flint River Farm, which occupies multiple city lots on Beach Street, between 12th Street and Wellington Avenue.
City spokesman Jason Lorenz has confirmed that Flint officials have given Adair, who has fewer than 10 chickens, 30 days to resolve her zoning issue.
A statement from the office of emergency manager Darnell Earley last week said her chickens -- kept in the College and Cultural neighborhood -- not only violate Flint ordinances but were also were in "apparently unsanitary conditions."
Adair has said her hens live in "the Taj Mahal of chicken coops" and has challenged city officials to come look for themselves if they doubt her.

DermaPerfect Anti-Aging Serum is skin care at its most evolved level. Its formula contains a celebrity secret that involves no injections or painful surgery but offers the same results. DermaPerfect eradicates wrinkles and is, in theory, similar to the effects of injections of the botulinum toxin. Botox uses its toxin to relax the tension of the facial muscles and relax wrinkles and smooth the skin. The formula used in DermaPerfect preforms the same function without the hassle of doctors visits, painful injections and a time consuming recuperation periods.
After 15 days of application of the DermaPerfect Serum at a frequency of two times daily, results will be noticed as an improvement in the skins texture and smoothness. After 28 days of use as instructed, crow's feet and deeper wrinkles will show dramatic improvement as well. Other skin problems that are associated with signs of aging will also be reported as showing dramatic improvement. Skin tone will be evened and the texture will be younger, firmer and plumper. Moisturized and younger looking skin will seem to glow from within. The appearance of a youthful essence will be restored to the skin.
DermaPerfect is a topical application that does not involve injections that can be painful and cause temporary swelling and redness to the skin. No surgery is involved in the application of this anti-aging serum. There are no lasers that can result in pain, discoloration, peeling and recuperation for days. There are no doctors visits that can be expensive and time consuming either. The ingredients in DermaPerfect will have no side-effects that will prove to be harmful. It is recommended for all skin types and tones and promises results that are excellent.
The amazing ingredients, that feature acetyl hexapeptide 8, have been shown to fill in deep lines and wrinkles by decreasing the depths of wrinkles and lines. It has been shown to restore firmness that is associated with youthful skin of the face. With continued use, the product will not only prevent the wrinkles from reforming but will also continue to plump the skin inside the wrinkles to further fill them in and improve their appearance. Acetyl hexapeptide 8 mimics the effects of Botox treatments without the pain or expense of the injections. New wrinkles will be avoided and the appearance of existing wrinkles will be improved. This amazing ingredient modulates the stimulation of muscles in the face just as Botox does and the results will be just as apparent.
DermaPerfect also has rice proteins, squalane oil, a source of vitamin E called tocopherols, seaweed extract and macadamia ternifolia seed oil. All of the ingredients are natural and powerful parts of the skin-enhancement forumla used in DermaPerfect Anti-Aging Serum. The results of the use of this product speaks for itself and are evident in just days.
Astounding testimonials from users and amazing pictorials of results have been seen. Results are reported of 42 percent increase in the skins moisture and 77 percent less wrinkles. Results of 54 percent smoother skin have also been reported without the use of toxic injections and painful surgeries. Similar results have been achieved by many other users. While each applicant will have slightly differing results, all respondants report significant imporvement in skins smoothness, wrinkles and moisture.
DermaPerfect is so confident that the public will like the results from the use of their product that they are offering a free trial size bottle to the public. In just seven days, users will see younger looking skin that has noticibly less wrinkling.

April 4, 2013
The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that wrought destruction in Japan have brought a variety of debris to the West Coast of the United States. While many types of invertebrates have made it to America, vertebrates displaced by the tsunami have not come across the ocean, until now.
According to a report in the Seattle Times, an 18-foot fiberglass skiff found March 22 near Sid Snyder Beach in Seattle contained five striped beakfish, (Oplegnathus fasciatus), all of which were alive.
"There was five fish total we found in the boat's compartment, and this is the first time we've seen vertebrates come ashore in tsunami debris," Bruce Kauffman, a state Fish and Wildlife biologist in Montesano told the Seattle Times. "Finding these fish alive was totally unexpected and it is pretty unusual to find live fish," Kauffman said.
The fish were found in the stern of the boat in a compartment that was full of enough marine life to sustain the fish. Fisheries biologists told the paper that the compartment was so full of marine life that it looked like an aquarium. They speculate that the boat floated across the Pacific Ocean partially submerged, allowing the fish to live within the compartment, which at one point had a door on it. Four of the fish were euthanized to prevent their introduction as an invasive species and the lone surviving striped beakfish is being kept in a quarantine tank at the Seaside Aquarium in Oregon, and when its health is restored, it will be put on display.

Common toads vary from dark brown, grey and olive green to sandy-coloured. They have broad, squat bodies and warty skin. They tend to walk rather than hop. These toads are widespread and common in mainland Britain.
Common toads excavate a shallow burrow that they return to after foraging for prey. They secrete an irritant substance from their skin and puff themselves up to deter predators. Common toads tend to live away from water, except when mating, and hibernate during the winter in deep leaf litter, log piles and in burrows.
During mating, the male clutches the female from behind in a tight embrace. He fertilises the long, triple-stranded strings of eggs as she lays them among the waterweeds. Tadpoles hatch after about 10 days and gradually change completely, or metamorphose, into toadlets over about two months. Common toads can live up to 40 years.
Insect larvae, spiders, slugs and worms. Larger toads may take slow worms, small grass snakes and harvest mice.
Usually at night, very occasionally in the daytime after rain, from April to October.
In and around the pond during the breeding season. Sometimes in the woodland area and other damps areas in the garden. Also in parks, scrubby areas, woods and fields, ditches, lakes and slow-moving rivers.

Carolyn Hax: Couple connects on all issues but one
Dear Carolyn: After three years with my boyfriend, it's clear we have different ideas of intimacy. When we first met, there were sparks, but he quickly cooled to the point of reaching out maybe once every few months, halfheartedly.
I have tried talking about it, being patient, initiating, giving him space, but he just doesn't desire intimacy. We love each other and have kept the excitement in all ways except that one, but my eye has started to wander and I fear I might be tempted to cheat; unfortunately, I have an active libido!
He has no insurance so I've gone to therapy alone, without result except that I'm pestering him more often, causing arguments. I don't want to leave him but don't know how much longer I can be patient. -- 30 and Sad
Dear 30 and Sad: "Be patient"? For what? An active libido isn't "unfortunate" -- it's part of you.
Whether his dormant libido is part of him, or you, or is fixable, I can't say. There are steps he could take to explore or explain his lack of interest, which he's apparently not taking. Knock-knock. You want to stay, you want intimacy, you want fidelity. Unless he's actually trying to please you, it's time to face up to not getting what you want. Maybe you can be happy without sex, but there's rarely happiness where the effort goes only one way.
Dear Carolyn: My son's birthday was four months ago, and his godmother hasn't given him a gift. Problem: This is getting in the way of our socializing. On Friday I sent them a text suggesting we meet for dinner. They texted back days later (even though they live by their cell phones) to say they were at the movies and missed my message, but let's try next weekend. This has gone on for months. She's always sorry she missed us and suggests the next weekend.
It's because they don't have my son's gift yet. She was "sick" for his party and admitted later it was because she didn't have a gift. She rescheduled our Christmas gift exchange many times. I finally dropped off her children's gifts. Again she said she didn't have gifts for my son. I just got another text asking what he wanted for his birthday. Really? Just get him a gift card or forget it. It's a joke now, but their kids and my son are good friends, and this nonsense is getting in the way of that. It has nothing to do with finances; I happen to know she splashed out on everyone else. What should I do? -- Anonymous
Dear Anonymous: Put this to rest, as in, "Forget gifts! Son just misses your kids." If you hold the no-presents-just-presence line, and resist the urge to huff about their out-splashings, etc., you'll likely see if she'll ever make time for your family. And whether you miss out on much if she won't.

Decades ago, the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein said the following:
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet"
These clear words seem even more amazing when one considers that they were spoken at a time when people knew little about how the food on their plate affected their health or how it was connected to the environment, the world's climate, world hunger, animal rights and human rights. If Albert Einstein had been familiar with current scientific evidence, surely his words would have been a bit different:
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegan diet."
A vegan diet is one that contains no animal products. If well planned and well balanced, it is, from a medical point of view, the healthiest diet one can follow, benefiting the environment, the world's climate, animals and humans. Because following a vegan diet and a vegan lifestyle can bring such great benefits to each and every one of us, I have decided to publish this little booklet for the sake of society – especially for our children and grandchildren – as well as for the benefit of the environment, the world's climate and animals. In order to make the healthiest decisions for ourselves and the planet, we need to have the best available information.
This brochure and the website www.ProVegan.info are a contribution in the fight against the unlimited madness of mankind. The resulting devastating effects are consciously or unconsciously ignored by most people. The majority of people are (still) willing to cause global warming, to torture and kill animals, to support the starvation of millions of people, to plunder the oceans, and to ruin their own health just because of their taste preferences for animal products.
Of course, it is also important to understand that following a vegan diet does not mean that we have to miss out on anything. Quite the contrary – a vegan diet is a pure feast, as numerous vegan cookbooks and restaurants have proved.

Brian Lara International Cricket Review
Those wanting a real cricket simulation won't be disappointed. Pump up the difficulty and prepare for hard fought, tactical contests that will prove challenging to the end.
Every now and then a game is released that seems to pitch a tent and take up a home in your console's disc tray. For me this happens rarely, with Waverace on the Nintendo 64 (no disc tray, but it was only an analogy), the Pro Evolution Soccer series on PlayStation 2 and Virtua Snooker on the PC being a handful of games that make me want to keep going back for more. While it is true that Brian Lara International Cricket has only just moved in, I have a feeling that its lease will definitely get renewed.
You ask any cricketer, or any sportsman, and they will tell you that timing is the key to success. Yes, power can help, but timing is the key. Time the ball sweetly and watch the ball clatter into the boundary, but swing too early and no amount of power will prevent the inevitable poor outcome. It's because of this that timing forms the basis for success in Brian Lara. When batting you have three shot options: standard attacking, lofted attacking and defensive. The direction of the shot is determined by the direction of the left analogue stick, with more shot success coming when attempting to hit the ball in the same direction as it's delivered. There's no on-screen guide to help you decide when to hit the ball, so you have to use your own judgement. However, the previous shot's timing is shown on screen to give you an idea if you swung too early, too late or just right. Don't expect to be hitting boundaries from the first delivery as you'll have to build up batsman confidence by playing successful defensive and attacking shots. With high batsman confidence you'll be able to pull off more successful shots and have less risk of giving away your wicket. Your confidence will be reduced if you're hit by a good delivery, if you swing and miss and also when approaching batting milestones such as fifty or one hundred.
Bowling is definitely much easier to get the hang of and to get good at. Whereas batting requires precise timing, bowling is more about placement and speed. Using an on-screen marker you choose where you want to pitch the ball and then stop an on-screen bar to determine the speed of the delivery. Each bowling type can bowl a number of different deliveries such as seeming balls for the fast/medium paced bowlers and leg cutters for the spinner. Confidence is also important for bowling as once the confidence meter is full you're able to bowl one of two special deliveries. Special deliveries include Yorkers for pace bowlers and googlies for the leg spinner, and if used correctly can cause a lot of trouble. All bowler types also have the ability to swing the ball, which when combined with a rip roaring 95MPH delivery, can leave the stumps in pieces. It's important to keep the batsmen guessing, so it's a good idea to mix up the pace of the deliveries in the hope that the slower ball won't be spotted. While you're still somewhat of an amateur at the game, the fielding side definitely has the upper hand, but once you gain more experience at batting, things will begin to level out.
'...wannabe cricket captains can meticulously place every fielder.'
Fielding in the game is also all about timing. Using an onscreen bar that appears when the ball goes to a fielder you must stop the marker as close the middle of the bar as possible. Stop it close to the middle and return a low fast ball or make a catch if the ball is in the air; failure to stop it near the middle will result in the fielder returning a high looping ball to the keeper or a dropped catch. It sounds very simple, and it is, but still requires you to remain on your toes. Field placements can also be fully customised using a simple placement screen. Those without previous cricketing knowledge may want to pick from the large number of pre-set attacking and defensive field placements, but wannabe cricket captains can meticulously place every fielder.
Brian Lara has several game modes that should keep even the most hardened cricket fan occupied. For starters you have the customary exhibition mode, in which you can choose to play a Test Match, One Day International (ODI) or a Double Wicket. I'm sure most are aware of ODIs and Tests, but Double Wicket is something a bit less mainstream. If you've played any club cricket, particularly at a junior level, Double Wicket should be somewhat familiar to you. Designed to be a fast, high scoring game, you select just two batsmen who bat out a whole innings of two to ten overs. Should you lose a wicket the batsmen is not out, but runs are deducted from the total score. This mode is fun when playing with people new to the game but once you get your teeth into Brian Lara you'll want to be playing the ODIs and Tests.
In exhibition mode you have a degree of customisation which can be applied to each game. The most important of these options is the difficulty setting. Ranging from Slog mode, which results in games where the winner is usually whoever hits the most sixes, to Test difficulty, which really is very hard. When set to Test difficulty your timing and shot selection has to be spot on in order to score. You also have the option to change the environmental settings, including the Stadium, time of day, weather and pitch type. All of these combine to produce differing conditions. ODIs and Double Wicket games allow for the match length to be altered as you wish. You can also pick the ball type and condition which can have a huge affect on the ball's behaviour. The purists out there can also play by the rules and enforce the correct fielding restrictions.
Exhibition mode is fine for the odd single player game but is primarily going to be used when you have another human opponent to play against. The core of the single player experience is found in the tournament mode, which consists of the ICC Cricket World Cup, the ICC Champions Trophy, the World Series XI and a World Tour. The most demanding of the tournament modes is the World Tour. In this mode you can either take part in a single series, where you play against one nation, in a number of ODIs and Tests, or a Full World Tour in which you play against all the Test nations in the world. In each of these modes you're able to select match difficulty, but trophies are only unlocked when playing on County or Test levels.
If the tournament mode is the career mode, then the Challenge mode can be described as the arcade mode. You're challenged to take part in classic matches from the past as well as competing against some of the best teams ever to play the game. If you're finding it difficult to progress though the game modes then don't despair. Brian Lara kindly includes some nets where you can hone your bowling and batting skills. As a batsman you can choose exactly what kind of delivery you want to practice against, be it short bouncers or full deliveries on the off side.
Visually Brian Lara looks great on all platforms, with solid player models and animations doing a good job creating an authentic experience. You should be aware that the game only has the licence for player names in the ICC Tournaments and doesn't carry any license for player names or likenesses in any of the other game modes, so expect clever miss-spellings of player names, allowing you to easily identify your Flintoffs from the Warnes. The ICC licence is for the 2003 season, so you'll see player names such Alec Stewart and Nasser Hussain in the England team. Cricket is a fairly slow game, and this means that the commentary doesn't have to keep up with the fast paced action that causes problems in football games. As a result, the commentary from the familiar voices of Jonathan Agnew, David Gower and others sounds pretty authentic. The game is presented very well and the icing on the cake is the use of HawkEye in the game. This means you get all the graphics for LBWs and bowling lines just as you see on the TV. You also get third umpire TV replays for close run out decisions and umpires do occasionally give the wrong decision, raising a finger when the ball was clearly going down leg - annoying but realistic.
For all the good things I have said about the game it does have some problems. When starting out it can seem like you're hitting your head against a wall, as scoring runs on the harder difficulty settings is harder than convincing a Nintendo fanboy to buy an Xbox (I've been their and trust me, it is difficult). You'll spend many overs hitting what seem to be good shots, but they'll go straight to fielders. Then you'll take a chance with the more attacking shots and inevitably end up being bowled out for a very low score. You've just got to stick with it, as scoring runs on harder difficulty settings is possible, it just takes practice. Fielding is also not without its problems. There's no way to return the ball to the bowler's end, which limits your run out opportunities. The ball must always be returned to the keeper for him to remove the bails; you can't even have a shy at a direct hit. In the end this doesn't hamper the game too much but can be a little annoying.
Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 is a great for a quick game that can be enjoyed by everyone, but it also offers a good challenge for those willing to put in the time to learn the game's subtle nuances. Impatient gamers won't give the game the time it deserves, but should find enjoyment on the lower difficulty settings where high scoring is where it's at. Those wanting a real cricket simulation won't be disappointed. Pump up the difficulty and prepare for hard fought, tactical contests that will prove challenging to the end.

Samsung Galaxy S III vs Apple iPhone 4S
Always a difficult decision, choosing between the latest and greatest Android phone or the latest and greatest iPhone is a problem that every smartphone user faces at one point or another. Thankfully, the key to solving that problem isn't that far away when you know what to look for. Having both the Samsung Galaxy S III and Apple iPhone 4S here with us, we thought that we absolutely have to pit these two ambitious guys against each other in order to make it easier for you to determine if you are more of a Galaxy S or iPhone user.
Please let us kill the suspense from the very beginning – the Galaxy S III and iPhone 4S are so different and excellent in their own way, there isn't an ultimate "better" phone. For each of us, the better choice would be different as we're all looking for different things. Our comparison between the Galaxy S III and One X achieved its goal of pointing out the ultimate Android phone. However, it is now time to venture out of the Android zone and get the attention back to the notorious OS wars.
There can't be two handsets more different when it comes to their appearance than the Galaxy S III and iPhone 4S. There's no doubt that the iPhone excels with its solid glass and steel construction, which makes the GS III look a bit toyish compared to it.
Obviously, it's going to be much more comfortable to deal with a compact smartphone like the iPhone 4S, which allows you to reach even the opposite end of the screen just by using one hand only. In contrast, the large dimensions of the Galaxy S III make it more difficult to handle and operate. There's also the fact that with the GS III, you can often press its capacitive menu or back keys by accident, whereas such a thing is impossible to do on the iPhone, since it simply lacks such keys.
Bottom edges
Rear cameras
The sides of the Samsung Galaxy S III (bottom, left) and the Apple iPhone 4S (top, right)
The Samsung Galaxy S III, being a Samsung handset, uses the HD Super AMOLED tech, while the Apple iPhone 4S sticks to the oldie-but-goodie IPS-LCD. Although the IPS-LCD panel of the iPhone is much better in terms of contrast and color, compared to the old LCD tech, it can't really compare with the absolutely amazing contrast level and ultra-saturation of the Super AMOLED screen, which looks much more striking. However, the IPS-LCD display is closer to reality, due to the cold color temperature of the AMOLED-powered Galaxy S III screen.
iPhone's display measures 3.5", while the GS III comes with a gigantic 4.8" one. Obviously, if you consume a lot of multimedia on your phone, the Galaxy S III will have a great advantage thanks to its much bigger screen.
Even though it packs more pixels, the display of the GS III has a lower pixel density (306 ppi), compared to the iPhone 4S (330 ppi), due to the larger physical size. And while the iPhone's display is superior in this respect, the difference doesn't really have a dramatic effect on your viewing experience.

and thats it it is ALL a mater of opinion. apple and android and windows and black berry fans all will find a reason to stay with what they like.
6. PackMan (Posts: 277; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)
Firstly, I choose Samsung Galaxy sIII.
And i think these reviews are pretty shallow, phonearena should go for in-depth reviews.
7. rallyguy (Posts: 620; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
Well this whole article is opinion. The reason companies keep making different phones is because different people want different things out of a phone.
But if you stick to specs and current trends, I think it's hands down the GSIII is the more desirable phone. I wouldn't buy either one personally, but I'm the minority with that statement.
8. KingShango (Posts: 89; Member since: 16 May 2012)
I think the conclusion sums things up nicely. Both phones have pros and cons and its up to the consumer to decide what's best for them. Personally I'm not i love with the whole "giant screen" trend so the GS III is out for me. Maybe a One S...

Ok, I will try to imagine...
Review by KingShango:
"Samsung Galaxy S III vs Apple iPhone 4S"
Both phones have pros and cons and its up to the consumers to decide what's best for them.
The End.

You're absolutely right. They should start paying me for reviews. Great idea, thanks.
104. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Sorry for that. :D
9. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
great review. I was interested to see just how you wrote this up.
one nit pick though is on the syncing..when comparing the 2 you completely neglected the sgs3 's ability to use Google drive to back up everything, the fact that Gmail has always synced contacts or that g+ auto syncs your pix to privace folders online. the Samsung cloud services are not necessary.
12. bloodline (Posts: 706; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
You should replace ray, I am not even joking.
Phones arena you should hire this guy
14. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
well the iPhone has iCloud and the iPhone can take advantage of Gmail and G+ features like that.
19. maryaaadil (Posts: 146; Member since: 07 Apr 2012)
Why do you guyz bother cloud when you have microsd card slot with support up to 64gigs
I think 64+64=128 gigs are enough for a phone even if you wanna play games like GTA IV on it
people can call me mad but as a matter of fact we can't enjoy as much privacy with (i)cloud than a SD card
38. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
because content in the Cloud is accessible from anything that'll take your password. phone, tablet, laptop, pc. it's available anywhere.
54. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
but what use is the cloud if you are not always guaranteed decent speed? not hating i use drive and dropbox but sometimes it is useless when i cant get decent speed where as with a sd card or built in memory,its always there regardless of your connection speed...cloud is not perfect but is great as you said its available if you got the connection and speed .its why i always buy phones with sd card slot.
89. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
you're right it's not guaranteed but if you're using a network like Verizon's 4G LTE or T-Mobile's HSPA+ then you'd just about think it is and besides most cloud services allow you to download your content so you don't HAVE to waste space on your phone with movies and music and such but you can if you want to.
116. maryaaadil (Posts: 146; Member since: 07 Apr 2012)
I am in India and where i live i have no 3G service..........
BTW I used cloud through WiFi but that was damn slow. So, no sd card slot is a deal beaker for me..
135. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
okay, so use your SD Card. whatever man. the Cloud is useful for some and not useful for others.
136. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
exactly. Useful for me, useful for u... were in 4g heaven. I wouldnt sync if i was on 2g all the time.. lol.
137. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
good god man, you'd think they believed we were trying to force them to use the cloud and nothing else wouldn't you?
177. DanMarino13 (Posts: 63; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
The 4G LTE markets and man, i'm not even sure why you mention T-mobiles HSPA+, don't cover a majority of markets yet. Even then, you use more data on 4G and HSPA+, and nearly every carrier is not unlimited data, so you are just asking for overage charges on data usage.
63. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
exactly. and if someone steals my phone that's synced, I haven't lost a byte of info.. if someone steals your phone that u don't sync anything with.. you lost everything.
77. chapizzo (Posts: 116; Member since: 13 Sep 2011)
you know you can sync your phone with your computer as well right? What are the chances you lose both at the same time?
84. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ive been working in the industry for a while now and the one thing i can say, is that almost no one backs up their phone to their computer. iOS is/was fragmented to all heck and back because of the old requirement of having to wire it up to iTunes to get updates and do back ups, regardless of how much the media ignores it... RIM and WM5/6xx both had computer back ups and no one used them either.
Syncing is thought free. It just happens and you dont need to worry about it.
141. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
I used Activesync to back up my WinMo phones to my PC back in the day.
178. DanMarino13 (Posts: 63; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
The amount of customers that come into Best Buy and don't know if they have icloud or how to use it is staggering. Most consumers don't know to do either one, you should try being less biased.

Cloud will in increase your payments because of huge traffic!
Also what you gonna do with your Cloud when there is no internet connection?
90. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
well then don't lose Internet Connection there babe or is that just too much to ask? ;P
the point is you have your stuff available if you want it. you're not obligated to use it but you can have more available to you when you have a solid Internet Connection which i'm not worried about on Verizon.
101. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
What about the payments because of huge traffic?
What about internet speed?
Not all world use Verizone.
You also can use SD card in your Laptop or PC so, that's not a problem.
Smartphone use more power while downloading content from the Cloud it will faster drain battery.
107. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
I dont use VZW
Tmobile's plans are way way cheaper and give more.
hard cable syncing still takes thought from the user
hard to argue the battery part, but chips are getting better, so phones are lasting a bit longer with each generation.
109. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
well then don't use it.
i have unlimited data, i can use 4G LTE and i'm not being charged to keep my data accessible from anywhere at anytime without actually having to take up my physical storage space so why not?
110. chadrick0814 (Posts: 209; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
Do you have verizon when you're on a plane? When flying, I would think that is the time you want access to your data the most. You could pay the airline $7 for 15 minuts of wi-fi. However, if you're flying overseas, airlines don't have wi-fi over the ocean. Speaking of overseas, how well does verizon's CDMA network work outside of the continental US? The iphone now has the two antennas which is good. Its a good thing they are all rich because dowloading/streaming from the cloud while roaming has to be expensive. Now, aren't you glad you have the GSIII with both cloud access and a large amount of extended memory!
113. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
then download your data before you go. there's a time and place for cloud data just like there is for everything else. your plane example was as dumb as asking someone why they have games on their phone if they go to work.
142. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)

106. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
most of the syncing options that take real data like G+ and such, you can set to "automatic on WIFI only". Problem solved. :)

162. Forsaken77 (Posts: 553; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
I thought his comparison was terrible. It's like he was trying so hard to force out something good to say about the Android phone that literally wipes the floor with his precious iPhone. The GS3 is more than 3 times as powerful and feature packed. There is no comparison. This guy, Ray S., shouldn't be writing supposedly "objective" view points when he can hardly be objective. And it's not about "personal preference" in a head-to-head comparison. The GS3 wins, bottom line. This article is supposed to showcase the available features, most of which were left out of the GS3 part btw, and compare them against each other. This guy will never say anything is equal to, or better, than his iPhone and shouldn't be allowed to write these articles or reviews. The only thing he should be allowed to do is review the next iPhone, but even then you can't take it seriously because of his fanaticism.
11. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you want the sgs3 unless: you barely use your smart phone, have Tiny hands, or are shallow enough to think that a phone is a status symbol that chicks care about (they don't).
25. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Agreed,the article pretty much states that also stating the iphone is the phone if you "don't reallypay attention to smartphone" and use your phone for "basic phone stuff with occasional browsing". Anything more can be too much for most ifans as their iphone is essentially to make them look "contemporary"
55. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
well to be honest, I think this review kinda sucked. This was more iOS vs Android than anything else and it was pretty generic (a little too much talk about customizing and widgets). If it was another reviewer, it could have easily gone the other way. And I think he was trying to please you Android folk because you guys basically criticize everything he does (he gave SGIII the upper hand in a lot and yet some of you are still complaining).
But anyway the SGIII is a pretty solid device, but I do wish it wasn't so ugly... I'm pretty hopeful that the iPhone 5 will destroy it though. If Apple delivers like they did with the original iPhone 4, it may be game over.This should get interesting.
68. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
he could have went into more detail. that is true. but as a quick overview it wasn't that bad.
apple needs to come out swinging for the fence with the i5. even this quickie review shows just how far behind apple is in many categories. the sgs3 preorders out pacing the i4s's total launch weekend sales really shows what the masses want. if the i5 doesn't bring it, iOS is going to lose a lit more market share. if it does bring it, it puts them back in the game.. not dominating.
59. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
iphone is great for people who dont like to customise there phone to make it there own and all they really do is browse the web,play some games,fb etc but arguably the experience of these things is actually better on the larger screen. iphones is a great phone(had the 4 myself) but personally for me it is very basic at everything it does and doest really push itself...one thing that annoys me with android vs ios reviews is that everyone keeps saying android is too hard and ios is simple but the simple matter is somethings in android is way easier on android due to widgets and its sharing capabilties but android itself is simple out the box and there are more things you can do with it if you want to but you dont have to...you can use android just as basic as ios out the box,the only difference is if you want to you can do more but the fact is you dont need to use those extra features to use android.

Good job Ray, your starting to impress me with your reviews.
18. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Such a failed article!
Conclusion at the end is delusional.
With that attitude, why not compare the SIII with Emporia phones for elderly people and conclude that it all depends on what you need, so there's no clear winner.
You can't relativise the fact that, in a fair comparison, SIII blows the 4S out of the water.
It is proven in countless examples that android is actually EASIER to use, way more functional, more intuitive than iOS, (all things equal regarding the performance) even for a light user.
31. Ray.S (Posts: 331; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
The Galaxy S III and iPhone 4S are more or less direct competitors. The Emporia phones that you give as an example are created for an entirely different demographic.
Note that I didn't say that the iPhone isn't for real smartphone users that do a lot of stuff on their devices. I just said it isn't the open and tweakable platform that Android is. But if you're OK with doing things in a strictly controlled way (the Apple/iOS way), you can do tons of stuff on an iPhone, using its applications. Meanwhile, if you want to do things your way, only Android can make this possible, because it gives you the freedom to do so.
71. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
so the big question is which phone would you buy with your own money ray? ;)
80. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
which one would you buy. the iphone 4S or the "crapdragon" version fof the SGSIII?
83. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I'm not remixfa and I also wont buy Samsung Galaxy S III, but if I would, I would buy Samsung Galaxy S III with Exynos 4212.

Random failures are symptomatic of DNS, rather than the hosts file
(which I hope isn't changing that frequently - did you look at the
file date/time?). Verify the contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf makes
sense for your name resolution,
[compton ~]$ grep host /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files nis dns
[compton ~]$
here, /etc/hosts first, then NIS, then DNS. With 'files' first,
it shouldn't be looking for NIS or DNS, so then verify /etc/resolv.conf
looking at 'domain' and/or 'search directives (I don't like using
either, but make sure you have ONLY ONE not both, and make sure the
extra crap they may add is coherent). COMMENT: It looks as if you
are not calling hosts by their FQDN - that _can_ be a security risk.
I'd then run your favorite packet sniffer, looking for DNS (or NIS as
appropriate) traffic. For tcpdump and DNS, try
/usr/sbin/tcpdump -ni eth0 -s 512 port 53
(Not specifying UDP, to allow for TCP queries for long answers.) Look
at the questions being asked (what hostname is it looking for), and the
answers received. Also, are ALL nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf set
with identical zone files? Recall that the resolver believes the first
answer it receives - so if one name server doesn't know the answer,
you'll get an NXDOMAIN, and the game is over. Finally, unless you've
mucked with the header files (/usr/include/resolv.h) it's three name
servers maximum.
>Ie, every once in a while the system will claim it cannot find a computer,
>which is listed in /etc/hosts.
>What in the world could cause this kind of bizarre behaviour
Are the hosts _also_ in DNS or NIS? The normal reason I've seen is as
above - /etc/nsswitch.conf (/etc/host.conf for old applications) not
looking at the host file, and search/domain directives in /etc/resolv.conf
causing weird names to be looked up. That's why I prefer to use the FQDN
(complete with trailing dot).

First of all, you don't unsign the message; you verify the signature. That means you don't have to keep the cypertext. Secondly, I don't believe that encryption is sufficient.

GEN's editorial staff interviews life science academic and biotech industry leaders on important research, technology, and trends. These podcasts will keep you informed with all the important details you need.
A team led by researchers from The Scripps Research Institute has developed a new method for detecting functional sites on proteins. The technique may have broad applications in basic research and drug development, according to the scientists. Described online in Nature on November 17, the method enables scientists to take a sample of cells, locate the sites on their proteins that have a certain kind of biochemical reactivity, and measure the degree of that reactivity.
During this week's podcast Dr Benjamin Cravatt III, senior investigator of the Nature study, describes how scientists currently try to detect functional sites on proteins and why a new approach is needed. He discusses the uniqueness of the newly developed protein screening technology and what it enables researchers to do now that they were not able to do in the past. He also talks about the range of patenting applications for the novel protein screening technique.
Dr. Benjamin Cravatt is currently professor and chair of the department of chemical physiology and co-director of the Center for Physiological Proteomics at The Scripps Research Institute. Dr. Cravatt's research interests focus on developing and applying new technologies to elucidate the roles that enzymes play in physiological and pathological processes, especially as they pertain to the nervous system and cancer.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Casual
What materials did you use? Cotton material or Fleece & felt, Quilt binding.Thread, sewing materials and tools.
What are you most proud of? How nice they turn out and how pretty easy it is to make. If you would like me to make one for you - what color would you like? Just let me know - make a comment and I will get in touch with you. Just know, that I cannot make it in Gator licensed fabrics, as I do not have a contract with UF and that is necessary in order to sell any product with the licensed fabrics.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? It's pretty easy - but I think it is easier to sew the lining (felt) and the front together - then have the raw edges showing and cover them with the quilt binding tape instead of trying to sew the right sides together and then turn it, but it can be done either way.
Can't see how to get to the pattern...am I missing something?
Hello, I would like to purchase 4 of these from you in different colors
Where can I get this pattern to make my own?

General fax troubleshooting
The following sections provide general fax troubleshooting suggestions for issues with sending or receiving faxes.
Perform the following before attempting more in-depth troubleshooting:
Is the fax set up correctly?
What type of telephone line is in use?
Is a telephone-line splitter in use?
Is a surge-protection device in use?
Is a telephone company voice-messaging service in use?
Is an answering machine in use?
Is the fax set up correctly?
Use the following checklist to define what is causing any faxing problems that are occurring:
Is the fax cord that was supplied with the device the fax cord that is being used?
This device has been tested with the supplied fax cord and was proven to meet device specifications. If the supplied fax cord is not in use, reinstall it.
Is the fax cord installed in the correct port on the device?
It should be plugged into the "line" port (the port that is marked with an icon (HP LaserJet 3015 all-in-one or HP LaserJet 3030 all-in-one) or with an "L" (HP LaserJet 3380 all-in-one)).
Is the fax cord seated in the port on the device?
Disconnect and reconnect the fax cord to make sure that it is well seated in the correct port.
Is the telephone jack working properly?
Verify that a dial tone exists by attaching a telephone to the jack on the wall. Can a dial tone be heard and can a telephone call be made?
What type of telephone line is in use?
Dedicated line
: A unique fax/telephone number assigned to receive or send faxes. The fax cord should be connected to the device "line" port.
Shared telephone line
: A system where both telephone calls and faxes are received or sent by using the same telephone number and telephone line. A single, standard telephone line can perform only one function at a time. A fax cannot be sent while someone is talking on the telephone or while a computer is trying to connect to the Internet.
PBX system
: A business-environment telephone system: Standard home telephones and HP LaserJet all-in-one devices use an analog telephone signal. Some PBX systems are digital and might be incompatible with standard telephones and with devices such as the HP LaserJet all-in-one.
Roll-over lines
: A telephone system feature where, when one incoming line is busy, the next call "rolls over" to the next available line. Try attaching the device to the first incoming telephone line. The device will answer the telephone after it rings the number of times that is specified in the device rings-to-answer setting.
Distinctive ring service
: The telephone company can assign two telephone numbers to one physical line and assign a distinctive ring pattern to each number. Make sure that the device is set to respond to the correct distinctive ring pattern that the telephone service provider assigned to the fax number. This service is not available in all countries/regions. Make sure that the telephone company provides this service before changing the setting.
Is a telephone-line splitter in use?
A telephone-line splitter is a device used to split two or more telephone lines from the same jack. Confusion can result from the existence of two different kinds of splitters. Parallel splitters (also called "T" splitters) split a single line into two equal jacks, allowing two devices to be plugged into the same line.
Line 1/Line 2 splitters provide two unique telephone line outlets from a single jack with two unique telephone numbers (two telephone lines are connected to a single jack). A Line 1/Line 2 splitter must be used if there is a fax line and a voice line that are controlled by the same jack.
Not all splitters are compatible with the device, and not all countries/regions support the use of splitters.
Hewlett-Packard does not recommend using parallel, or "T" splitters with the device because they can degrade the quality of the telephone signal. If it is necessary to attach a second device to the telephone line along with the device, plug the second device into the all-in-one device "telephone" port (the port that is marked with a telephone icon).
Is a surge-protection device in use?
This is a device that is used between the jack in the wall and the device to protect the device against electrical power that passes through the telephone lines. These can cause some fax communication problems by degrading the quality of the telephone signal. If there is difficulty sending or receiving faxes and one of these devices is in use, connect the device directly to the telephone jack to determine if the problem is with the surge-protection device.
Is a telephone company voice-messaging service in use?
A voice-messaging service can be used to replace telephone-answering devices. If the messaging service rings-to-answer setting is lower than the device rings-to-answer setting, the messaging service answers the call and the device is not able to receive faxes. If the device rings-to-answer setting is lower than that of the messaging service, the device answers all of the calls and no call is ever routed to the messaging service. The only voice-messaging solution that can be used successfully with the device is a standalone telephone-answering machine.
Is an answering machine in use?
An answering machine should be connected directly to the port that is labeled with the telephone icon, or it should be shared on the same telephone-line extension.
Set the device rings-to-answer setting for at least one ring more than the number of rings for which the answering machine is set.
If an answering machine is connected to the same telephone line but on a different jack (in another room, for example), it might interfere with the device's ability to receive faxes.
General fax problems
The document stops feeding in the middle of faxing.
The maximum length of a page that can be loaded is 381 mm (15 inches). Faxing of a longer page stops at 381 mm (15 inches).

(HP LaserJet 3030 all-in-one and HP LaserJet 3380 all-in-one) The minimum page size for the ADF is 127 x 127 mm (5 x 5 inches).
If a jam exists, remove the media.
The fax activity logs or fax call reports are printing at inappropriate times.

Faxes that are sent are not arriving at the receiving fax machine.
The receiving fax machine might be off or might have an error condition, such as being out of paper.
Call the recipient to make sure that the fax machine is on and ready to receive faxes.
The originals might be incorrectly loaded.
Make sure that the original documents are correctly loaded into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray or flatbed scanner (not available with the HP LaserJet 3015 all-in-one).
A fax might be in memory because it is waiting to redial a busy number, other jobs that are ahead of it are waiting to be sent, or the fax is set up for a delayed send.
If a fax job is in memory for any of these reasons, an entry for the job appears in the fax log. Print a fax activity log and check the Status column for jobs that show a Pending designation.
All of the numbers of a long fax number cannot be dialed.
The maximum number of digits of characters that can be entered into a fax number is XXXXX

On the Right Track: From Olympic Downfall to Finding Forgiveness and the Strength to Overcome and Succeedby Maggie Greenwood-Robinson Marion Jones
For more than a decade, Marion Jones was hailed as the "the fastest woman on the planet." At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, she became the first woman ever to win five medals at one Olympics. That same year, the Associated Press and ESPN named her Athlete of the Year. She was on the cover of Vogue and Time. She seemed to have it all--fame, fortune, talent, and international acclaim. Now she is a convicted felon. The trouble started in 2003 when she lied to federal agents about her use of a performance-enhancing drug and her knowledge of a check fraud scam. In 2007, no longer able to live with the lies, she admitted the truth. In a sad end to what seemed like a storybook career, she was stripped of her medals, and her track-and-field records were wiped from the books. She was incarcerated at Carswell federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas--a prison known for its violence and abuse. While there, she kept herself in shape and her sanity intact by running on a dirt track and a treadmill in the prison's improvised weight room. But her imprisonment was not the end for Marion Jones. In fact, it marked a new beginning. She is now using her story to change the lives of people the world over and inspire others who, like her, face obstacles that seem insurmountable. On the Right Track is the candidly told story of how Marion came to grips with her lies and the consequences of her actions, and how she found meaning in all of it. What she tells her children and has now applied to her own life is that when you make a mistake, you admit it, you accept the consequences, you move on, you make the wrong a right. She teaches her children and others to take a break and pause before making impulsive and potentially harmful decisions. At the heart of this book are real issues that we all face: learning to grow through pain; making decisions that will help us far into the future; overcoming failure and discouragement; and applying practical principles that point the way to personal and spiritual breakthrough.

Ark. Lt. Gov. Darr backs sales tax for highways
Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Darr says he supports increasing Arkansas' sales tax to pay for highway improvements.
Darr announced Tuesday that he supports a proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot that would raise the state's sales tax a half-cent to pay for a $1.8 billion highway improvement program.
Darr was elected lieutenant governor in 2010 partly on an anti-tax campaign. He also signed a pledge to oppose "any and all" efforts to raise taxes.
Darr said in a statement released by his office that he supports the tax proposal because of the 40,000 private jobs supporters say it will create and the traffic congestion they say it will ease around the state.
Darr said doing nothing would be more costly to the state than the tax.

In response to the Nov. 4 letter "Why are lifted trucks allowed on our road?": Thanks for getting the ball rolling.
I would like to add that these trucks are not legal and should not be allowed on our public roadways. Each year they must pass a safety inspection at one of our state-mandated safety inspection stations. The trucks are checked for many things - insurance, adequate tire tread, functioning lights/turn signals - and then deemed roadworthy for another year.
For a lifted truck to pass a safety inspection in Hawaii, the vehicle must have a bumper no higher than 29 inches and headlights no higher than 44 inches from the pavement. The truck must have fenders which completely hide the tires under the body of the vehicle. The tires must be completely concealed by mudflaps, which stop stones and other debris from damaging the vehicles/people near them.
How is it that these dangerous, illegal trucks are so commonly found on our Maui roads? Why are there so many of them?
At night their headlights blind drivers in head-on conditions.
Let's work together to rid the roads of these killer trucks. Call the police with the license plate number and let's start cleaning up Maui.
