pbuilder --update [options]
pbuilder --build [options] .dsc-file
pbuilder --execute [options] -- script [script options]
pbuilder --clean
pbuilder --login [options]
For example, to switch the distribution of an existing base.tgz to sid, specify the --distribution sid --override-config options to update.
The file specified in the command-line argument will be copied into the chroot, and invoked.
The remaining arguments are passed on to the script.
Same as pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal
The command is followed by options of the form --option name which will modify the semantics as explained below. They are applied from left-to-right, and when there are conflicting options, the rightmost options will have effect.
This option will define the default distribution and apt-lines when used in pbuilder --update and pbuilder --create
A subdirectory of that directory using the current PID of the process is used.
This option can optionally be omitted, and left blank, in which case, this part is skipped.
Note that these URLs specified to pbuilder will be used from within the chroot, and specifying file:/somewhere/ will most probably fail.
The deb lines here are the ones that will appear at the top of the sources.list inside the chroot. Be sure to follow the syntax rules of sources.list(5). These lines appear at the beginning of the constructed sources file, so this is the place to list your local mirror sites; apt will then use them in preference to the ones listed in --mirror.
--distribution, --components, --mirror, --othermirror options are only valid when --override-config option is specified in --update target, or when pbuilder --create is being called.
Although it may not seem necessary, pbuilder --update does not invoke the hooks if --hookdir is empty, so if you want to avoid running hooks, run pbuilder with --hookdir
If there is a distribution hook, for example, if there was a file sid inside the hook directory, and the script was creating the chroot for sid distribution, pbuilder will call debootstrap with that as the 4th parameter in the chroot creation process. This allows for use of custom debootstrap hook script.
A<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is for --build target. It is executed before build starts; after unpacking the build system, and unpacking the source, and satisfying the build-dependency.
B<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed after build system finishes building, successfully, before copying back the build result.
C<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed after build failure, before cleanup.
D<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed before unpacking the source inside the chroot, after setting up the chroot environment. Create $TMP, and $TMPDIR if necessary.
This is called before build-dependency is satisfied. Also useful for calling apt-get update
is executed after
pbuilder --update
and pbuilder --create finishes apt-get work with the chroot, before umounting kernel file systems (/proc) and creating the tarball from the chroot.
F<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed just before user logs in, or program starts executing, after chroot is created in --login or --execute target.
G<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed just after debootstrap finishes, and configuration is loaded, and pbuilder starts mounting /proc and invoking apt-get install in --create target.
List of options that are passed on to dpkg-buildpackage. Multiple flags are additive and appended ot the any value given in DEBBUILDOPTS as specified in pbuilderrc. To clear the list of options, pass the empty string, e.g. --debbuildopts "".
Multiple options are delimited with spaces, like --debbuildopts "-j100 -E"
Specify to build architecture specific targets instead of all targets. Setting --debbuildopts after this option will re-set some parts of the effect.
Use this option rather than using --debbuildopts -B
Specify multiple options through multiple instance of this option, for example:
--debootstrapopts --arch=arm --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd
Show a brief help message.
Some options are more involved to pbuilder internal than others. The following options are available.
Packages should be specified in a space-delimited manner, surrounded in double quotations, like lilo gcc mawk
The packages should be specified as a space-delimited list.
Specifies that dpkg-buildpackage be called with -mmaintainer-name <email-address> instead of default value specified in the environment variable, or pbuilderrc
This option is almost obsolete, use --debbuildopts instead
The file extension is specified by PKGNAME_LOGFILE_EXTENTION in pbuilderrc
This option overrides other options, and may cause some inconsistency problems.
Useful when experimenting with chroots, or trying to create chroots outside control of pbuilder.
For preserving the build place for --create and --update targets, see --debug option.
As with --no-targz, suppresses appending pbuilder's process ID to the --buildplace.
This is useful if you want to attempt to build a large number of packages successively, but you expect that many of them cannot have their build dependencies satisfied.
It will clean up the build place on failure, or after a successful build.
Turn on Debug mode of pbuilder, to be verbose about errors, and try to avoid cleanup processing when error happens in --update and --create targets.
Add extra file to be copied to /tmp/buildd inside the build environment.
available in --build and --login and --execute targets.
# pbuilder --create Distribution is sid. Building the build environment -> running debootstrap /usr/sbin/debootstrap I: Retrieving Release I: Retrieving Packages I: Validating Packages . .

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Astex Pharmaceuticals (UNKNOWN: ASTX.DL ) , a developer of small-molecule therapies focused on treating various types of cancer, soared as much as 26% after reporting positive top-line data for SGI-110 in a mid-stage trial for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, or AML.
So what: According to Astex's press release, 67 patients with AML -- 50 with refractory/relapsed AML, and 17 treatment-naive patients -- were treated in this study and had a minimum follow-up of three months. The primary endpoint of the study was overall remission rate, of which Astex reported eight remission among refractory/relapsed patients and nine among treatment-naive patients for an overall complete remission rate of 25%. Astex plans to release detailed results of its study in December at the American Society of Hematology's annual meeting.
Now what: Astex may be a small-cap biopharmaceutical company, but it has been cranking out fantastic results over the past year. Astex currently has seven ongoing clinical trials (including SGI-110) and an FDA-approved drug in Dacogen, as well as numerous clinical and preclinical partnerships with some of the pharmaceutical sectors' largest companies. With $133 million in cash and no debt, I'd say Astex certainly deserves a spot on your watchlist moving forward.

You remind me of a friend of mine.
He refused to watch the Lotr movies, because, in his opinion, anything so popular could not be any good.
-he says that Lotr movies, because of their popularity, must be populistic and generic, and could not have any edge, or artistic value. And he still keeps saying the same! And he still refuses to see the films!
Same with you and Twilight. You think the movies must suck because they are so popular with common folk.
-but has it occurred to you that movies became popular simply because they really are good?

Police: Texas fugitive kills self near Vegas Strip
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas police say a man wanted for murder in San Antonio, Texas, fatally shot himself a block east of the Las Vegas Strip.
Police Capt. Chris Jones said authorities arrived about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday to a Super 8 hotel on Koval Lane, where the suspect was believed to be.
Jones said the man emerged from the hotel about an hour later, ran a short distance, and shot himself.
Las Vegas police haven't identified the man, who is believed to be in his early 30s.
Police initially described the situation as an officer-involved shooting, but Jones clarified that no shots were fired besides the one the suspect inflicted on himself.
Jones said he had no details on the underlying murder case from Texas.

I'll be on the food beat as part of our ongoing Super Bowl coverage - I know, tough job, someone has to do it - and I'm seeking your nominations for best burgers in both New Jersey and New York City, for a story.
Who makes the best, juiciest burgers? Tell me about your favorite place - restaurant, bar, whatever - and what makes their burger the best.
And don't forget we're looking for nominations on both sides of the river!
Here are some of my favorites:
• Frankie's Bar & Grill, 414 Richmond Ave. (Route 35), Point Pleasant Beach; (732) 892-6000; frankiesbarandgrille.com. Best burger Down the Shore? Maybe Frankie's. Cooked just right - medium rare, of course - and oozing juicy goodness.
• Iron Horse, 20 Washington Ave., Westwood; (201) 666-9682; theironhorse.com. Sit in the dining room and listen - no, feel - the trains rumbling past. The bar and dining room are decorated with train memorabilia. Get the Iron Horse cheeseburger, with the cheese melted inside the burger.
• Krug's Tavern, 118 Wilson Ave., Newark; (973) 465-9795; krugstavern. My vote for the best burger in North Jersey. Ironbound neighborhood bar may not look like much from outside, but those burgers sure are fat and juicy. For first-timers: It's Krug's as in "Kroogs.''
• New Park Tavern, 575 West Side Ave., Jersey City; (201 434-9253. You could walk right past this place without realizing it; there's no sign outside. But the burgers are top-notch.
• Stage Left, 5 Livingston Ave., New Brunswick; (732) 828-4444; stageleft.com. The restaurant says it's home of "the best cheeseburger in the world.'' It's made of wood-grilled Angus beef and three-year-old Vermont cheddar cheese.
• White Manna, 358 River St., Hackensack; (201) 342-0914. The "Manna'' is one of my 20 Essential Jersey Food Experiences. The state's cutest diner serves up sliders of surpassing succulence. Seriously.
• Zinburger, 850 Route 3, Clifton; (973) 272-1492; zinburgernj.com. Handsome bar/restaurant - dig the cows staring at you from the giant wall mural. Excellent burgers, but I'm still dreaming about the chocolate shake I had there over the summer.
I'm sure you have your own favorite burger places, so let me know.
Have a favorite sports bar? Vote for yours in my previous story here.

FCNL to Congress: U.S. Military Intervention Would Widen Syrian War
Aug 26, 2013
Click here for original letter to House
Click here for original letter to Senate
August 26, 2013
Dear Representative:
We join the international community in voicing grave concerns over the news that chemical weapons were reportedly used by the government of Syria, allegedly resulting in hundreds of deaths. At this critical moment in Syria's civil war, we urge you to take the following steps to help end the bloodshed in Syria:
1. Reject U.S. military intervention, which would increase violence and risk of more chemical weapons attacks: U.S. military strikes against Syria would escalate the bloodshed and could inadvertently disburse chemical weapons. The locations of Syria's stockpiles of chemical weapons are unknown and U.S. bombardment of Syrian military facilities could release those chemicals on civilian populations. Furthermore, if backed into a corner by military intervention, the Assad regime might be more likely to use chemical weapons on a broader scale. The way forward, as Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey mentioned this week, is not a military one.
2. Cosponsor H.R. 2494, the bipartisan Gibson-Welch legislation to prohibit military aid to Syria: Sending weapons to Syria's armed opposition only adds more fuel to a fire already engulfing the Middle East. Regardless of the vetting procedures in place, the sheer factionalized nature of the opposition guarantees that the arms will end up in the hands of militias guilty of gross human rights abuses. The same militant fighters who have committed gross atrocities are among the best-positioned of the rebel groups to seize the weapons that the United States sends to Syria. Just as past decisions by the U.S. to arm insurgencies in Libya, Angola, Central America and Afghanistan helped sustain brutal conflicts in those regions for decades, so too will furnishing arms to the Syrian opposition backfire.
3. Support continued UN investigations: The U.S. should leverage the full weight of its diplomatic influence and resources to press on actors who have potential political leverage with the Syrian regime to allow unfettered access to the United Nations inspectors investigating alleged chemical weapons attacks.
4. Urge President Obama to convene an emergency summit: U.S. work with the Russian Foreign Ministry on a Geneva 2 peace process has been laudable, but has not included all relevant stakeholders. A new summit should include representatives of Russia, Iran, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, UK and France to negotiate a way forward to end the bloodshed, allow unrestricted humanitarian access and find a negotiated settlement to the conflict. Hezbollah, the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and other non-state actors with potential influence on the Assad regime must also be engaged. Here, world leaders should:
a. Commit to new efforts to restrict the flow of weapons to all parties of the conflict. Cutting off military supplies—bullets, missiles and repair parts—could significantly slow the killing. A gun without a bullet is little more than a club.
b. Commit to regional strategies to better incentivize and hold accountable the armed actors' compliance with international humanitarian and human rights law.
c. Build political will for cooperation around non-military intervention options in both Syria and Egypt in the context of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly and Responsibility to Protect (R2P) discussions.
5. Press the United Nations Security Council to ask the ICC to investigate war crimes in Syria: Arresting war criminals is cheaper than any form of intervention, and if President Assad or other actors are indicted by the ICC then they can be arrested if they travel elsewhere, decreasing pressure for intervention and broadening diplomatic options. Moreover, an ICC referral will allow multiple countries to share intelligence information that is currently being bottlenecked and classified.
6. Increase and better allocate humanitarian funds to address refugee flows: Traditional humanitarian response mechanisms are falling short in Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon, particularly in dealing with the stress of the volume of refugees on host communities. The USG must address the protracted nature of the Syrian crisis by increasing and encouraging other states to increase humanitarian funds, and by allocating said funds to programs that bridge immediate humanitarian needs with longer-term development strategies, implemented in a conflict-sensitive manner and following humanitarian principles. The United Nation's Syria Regional Refugee Response plan, which calls for US$3 billion dollars to address the acute needs of refugees until December of this year, is currently only 38 percent funded.
We must not repeat the mistakes of Iraq by acting in haste. Allowing impunity for the use of chemical weapons against civilians would set an abominable precedent. We also strongly support the work within the United Nations Security Council to build international consensus condemning the alleged use of chemical weapons.
The solution to the Syrian crises will not be found in escalated violence, but rather in means and mechanisms that de-escalate the violence and create a platform for a negotiated settlement. Working with all stakeholders, to apply new non-military mechanisms to weaken the engaged parties' capacities and motivations to commit atrocities against civilians is the only way to make that happen. Just as the Taif Agreement of 1989 ushered in an end to the Lebanese civil war by securing buy-in from internal factions and external actors, a negotiated end to the Syrian crisis must be similarly inclusive.
As a Quaker organization, we do not believe violence is the solution. Further violence will not achieve the goals that you have articulated in Syria, and we do not see any scenarios where U.S. military intervention will help.
We appreciate your focus on these matters.

A Potato's Eye on Idaho Agriculture
The Census of Agriculture is the most complete account of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. Every Thursday USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service will highlight new Census data and the power of the information to shape the future of American agriculture.
When it comes to potatoes, Idaho is #1. Results of the 2012 Census of Agriculture confirmed it. According to the census, Idaho farmers led the United States in acres of potatoes harvested, at 345,217 acres. And believe it or not, this was done by only 794 farms. On these farms, 58 percent of the potato harvested acres were for the fresh market and 42 percent were for processing.
Of course, the other parts of our agriculture are no small potatoes either. Overall, in 2012 we had 24,816 farms in our state, and our farmers sold more than $7.8 billion worth of agricultural products. Nearly a third of that amount – $2.3 billion – came from milk sales. Only three states, California, Wisconsin, and New York, had more milk sales than Idaho. Idaho's Gooding County ranked fourth in the nation for milk cow inventory. The 2012 census counted nearly 179,000 head of milk cows there. Read more »

If my father gifted his home to me before his death and I sold it, who is responsible for taxes?
01/15/2009 - Wills and Estates - State: TX #15004
Full Question:
'Gift in Contemplation of Death.'What are the legal/tax ramifications for giver and receiver in the following; My father, who lived in Okla, recently deeded (gave) his house to me because of his rapidly failing health. Ownership of the house was transferred to me. I then sold the house for $85,000 to use the funds for his nursing home bills. My father died shortly after giving me the house. The value of his estate with the house is approximately $430,000. Should the house be included in my father's estate for estate tax purposes? Please be specific on who owes taxes (if any) in this situation.
A gift is the voluntary transfer of property or funds to another without receiving anything of value in return and without conditions attached while both the giver and the recipient are still alive. The gift giver (donor) must understand the nature of the act and have a voluntary intent to make a gift, called a donative intent. There must be either physical or symbolic delivery of the gift and actual or imputed acceptance by the donee. Large gifts are subject to the federal gift tax, and in some states, to a state gift tax. However, a person or entity can give any amount – no matter how large – to a qualified charity completely tax-free. A gift in contemplation of death is a gift of personal property (not real estate) by a person expecting to die soon for natural reasons. Federal tax law will treat this gift as part of the estate if the giver dies within three years of the gift. Treating the gift as made in contemplation of death has the effect of including the gift in the value of the estate, rather than making the gift subject to a separate federal gift tax charged the giver. If the giver recovers from an apparently fatal illness, the gift is treated like any other gift for tax purposes. A gift deed is a deed in which the consideration is not monetary, but is made in return for love and affection. It is a document which transfers property to another as a gift. Such a deed is often used to present someone with a gift. Transfer of a gift deed can be reported as a gift for federal tax purposes.
A person's taxable estate is defined as the gross estate less allowable deductions. Gross estate means the value of all property in which the decedent had an interest at the time of death. The gross estate includes life insurance proceeds payable to the estate or the heirs, the value of certain annuities payable to the estate or heirs, and the value of certain property transferred three years or less prior to death. The taxable estate includes the value of all property and assets owned at the time of death plus any gifts made in the three years prior to death.
Estate tax is imposed on the transfer of property based upon the net value of a decedent's estate. Congress has approved a schedule that increases the amount an individual can leave to heirs tax-free to $1.5 million in 2004 and eventually to $3.5 million in 2009. In some states, the tax is imposed on the receipt of the property by the heirs, rather than the decedent's transfer, and is called an inheritance tax. Estate taxes are a form of transfer tax because it is based on the transfer of title to property, rather than the property itself.
Gift taxes are taxes that supplement the estate tax. Gift taxes are placed on gifts given away to any person while the giver is still living, so that the giver may not avoid estate taxes by making gifts of his or her estate. The annual exclusion applies to gifts to each donee. In other words, a person may may give up to $11,000 in 2002-2005, $12,000 in 2006-2008, and $13,000 on or after January 1, 2009. Married couples can give, as a couple, $22,000 to each donee (2002-2005) or $24,000 (2006-2008), $26,000 (effective on or after January 1, 2009). Under federal tax law, gifts totaling more than these amounts to one person in one year are considered a taxable gift and generate a potential gift tax. Gifts of a "future interest", no matter what their value, also are considered a taxable gift. Gifts beyond the exclusion limit (there is an exception for gifts that are directly paid by the gift giver for tuition and medical expenses) are considered "taxable gifts." Taxable gifts create liability for a gift tax.
Most gifts above the annual exemption are still not subject to tax because each taxpayer is allowed a lifetime credit against taxable gifts and estate. This credit reduces or eliminates the amount of taxes owed. A unified credit applies to both the gift tax and the estate tax. The unified credit is subtracted from any gift tax owed by the taxpayer. Unified credit used against a gift tax in one year reduces the amount of credit that can be applied against a gift tax in later years. The total amount used against a gift tax reduces the credit available to use against estate tax. In other words, any unified credit not used against gift tax during the taxpayer's lifetime is available to reduce or eliminate an estate tax. This credit has the effect of exempting $1 million from tax.
The recipient of a gift or an estate is not liable for the gift or estate tax. An estate's executor is responsible for payment of any estate tax that is due; the donor is responsible for payment of a gift tax, if one is due. Moreover, gifts and inheritances are not subject to income tax.

CrontoSign Image
Cronto's patented visual transaction signing offers the ideal blend of enhanced strong security and simplicity of use for the customer.
Cronto's solution utilises a unique visual challenge contained in a graphical cryptogram consisting of a matrix of coloured dots displayed on the customer's PC screen. The customer uses the camera in his mobile phone or a dedicated hardware device to capture this cryptogram by photographing the screen. If the image is untampered with, the customer is then presented with critical transaction information, like payment details, decoded securely from the visual cryptogram image.
The customer can then check transaction details on the screen of the phone or hardware device to confirm that this transaction is genuine. He is reassured that a Banking Trojan has not altered his payment instruction. An authentication code is then generated on the customer phone or device and is passed back to the bank's server to complete the transaction.
Fast and Reliable
- Reliable — works in various light conditions and on various screens and paper
- Fast — decoding time in less than 1 second
- High capacity — transfers enough data for various business scenarios
- Versatile — provides the same experience as a Mobile App or a Standalone Hardware Device

Major speculates, ContraryOne researches.
"According to the Commerce Department, in 1959, Americans were saving 8.3 percent of their income. In 1973, that rate reached 11 percent. In 1984, Americans saved 10 percent of what they earned."
"But 1984 marked a turning point. In subsequent years, until 2006, the savings rate steadily declined. At one point in 2005, Americans were putting aside just 1 percent of their income."
"In the summer of 2008, the savings rate as a percentage of income reached nearly 7 percent. It hit a peak of 8 percent in the spring of 2009."
"At the beginning of 2010, Americans saved 5.3 percent of their salary. Today, the number is down to 3.5 percent."

Also consider the Garn–St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982, that allowed adjustable rate mortgages. This was a Reagan initiatve. Another one of the "ownership society" and corporate bank regulation welfare. Recall the reason why many defaulted on home loans recently is due to an increased adjustable rate. How can someone afford something for a few years and when the rate increases they default? Easy, adjustable rate mortgages. Sure, the repubs had nothing to do with housing and the collapse is clearly a "delusion".

I'm quite sure you did not research the American Dream Downpayment Intiative (ADDI) cited below. The "ownership society" President pushed it and made it happen through corporate bank welfare of $800,000 mil over 4 years. And lo and behold 4 years later, the financial industry collapsed. Also consider removing credit card interest as a tax deduction, which caused many to seek some other forms of deductions. One was mortgage interest, thus an increase in borrowing against real estate. Another cause was removing capital gains on the sale of homes up to $500,000 married and $250,000 single. This caused a shift in investment strategy away from stocks and the like to buying homes. There's more, but you have your uniform, so carry on.

Have you read the details of the ADDI? It was originally funded with $200 mil each year for 4 years.

Four Reasons to Get Married
|Email Print
Earlier this month, Marylanders voted on Question 6 – Civil Marriage Protection Act, which would've amended current law to allow gay and lesbian couples to get a civil marriage license. No matter what you say about the religious or ethical or whatever reasons for or against it, the reality is that being married affords you financial and legal protections that should be given all couples willing to take that step.
While there are plenty of non-financial reasons (and plenty of financial reasons not to get married), here are a few financial ones:
Transferring Assets
When you are married, your assets are usually combined. What this also means is that you can transfer assets between people without being concerned about gift taxes and lifetime exclusions. When you die, you won't have to worry that the estate tax will take part of your estate away before it makes its way to your spouse because it doesn't apply. You don't have to worry that your estate will be stuck in limbo while the state sorts things out and decides who gets what based on your will. All of these things are made simpler because, for all practical purposes, you are treated as a single entity.
What happens if you are unmarried and you want to transfer assets? Any amount over $13,000 that you give to someone else is subject to the gift tax.
Government Benefits
If you are married, you can receive Social Security, Medicare, disability, veterans/military, and public assistance benefits as a spouse of someone who is eligible. If you are unmarried, you are no different than a stranger and are entitled to nothing.
Legal & Medical Decisions
If your spouse is incapacitated or can't express his or her wishes, you can make medical decisions on his or her behalf if you are married. If you are unmarried, you may not even be able to visit your partner based on the rules of the hospital because technically you aren't a member of the family!
Outside of medical decisions, there are a litany of legal decisions you can make on behalf of your spouse if you are married that you obviously can't if you are unmarried. This, of course, makes sense from a practice perspective since unmarried couples are as good as strangers.
Last, but not least, taxes are a big factor as well. Even if a couple is legally married in the state they live in, the federal government won't recognize it and so the couple can't file taxes as Married Filing Jointly. They are simply two single filers. This creates an interesting predicament because there is a bit of a marriage penalty when it comes to taxes, when both spouses are relatively higher earners. The married filing jointly tax brackets are not double single filer tax brackets.
These are just four money reasons why it's a good idea to get married, which you can tack onto the million other reasons. 🙂

A Texas golfer is looking to swing his way into the record books. Richard Lewis has set out to play 600 rounds of golf this year, earning him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. He'll have to play each 18-hole round in two hours and 35 minutes to stay on schedule.
"If nobody knew about this I'd be just as satisfied as ever because I'd know I did it, and no one else in the whole wide world, to my knowledge, has ever done it and that's special to me," Lewis said.
While Lewis admits his golf obsession has led to two divorces, he says he happiest being on the green.
"Well, you have to be a little bit over the edge to do something like this," Lewis said.

Special Olympics Golfer Sets Record
In the first round of the Level V 18-hole individual stroke play event of the 2010 Special Olympics USA National Games, Scott Rohrer fired a record score of 71. The 21-year-old from York, S.C., surpassed the former Special Olympics 18-hole tournament world record round score of 73 set last year by Joel Murray of West Monroe, La.
Rohrer's 71 on the Highlands Golf Course in Lincoln, Neb., is his personal best and achieved in just his first 18-hole individual stroke-play national event. PGA of America Honorary President Brian Whitcomb met with Rohrer at the leaderboard to congratulate him on his National Games feat.
"I had four birdies, a bunch of pars, a couple of bogeys, but overall not a bad day. Actually, it was just awesome and the best I've ever done," said Rohrer.
Rohrer has traditionally played in the national event with his father in the Level III 18-hole team play event, winning the gold medal in the Level III 2009 Special Olympics Golf National Invitational Tournament. Scott's father, Jeff, was on site in Nebraska, but helping out as coach with the Level I Individual Skills competition.
"My wife was Scott's caddie so I knew he was playing great, I just didn't know how great," said Jeff. "He was on his game today that is for sure. I think that the course we play in South Carolina, River Hills Country Club, makes you hit your shot with accuracy or you are in real trouble . . . that is what helped him here today."
Another Special Olympics Level V competitor, Tyler Lagasse, age 23, of Tyngsboro, Mass., carded an eagle on the par-4, 360-yard 18th hole to finish the day in second of the Level V 18-hole individual stroke play event with a first day total of 79. "It was an uphill shot against the wind and I just didn't think I could get it on the green," said Lagasse. "It ended up two feet from the hole and I drained the putt."
A total of 179 golfers from 39 states competed at the 2010 Special Olympics USA National Games in Lincoln, Neb Golf is one of 13 competitive sports at the USA National Games where nearly 3,000 Special Olympics athletes from across the United States are competing in the largest multi-sport event in the history of Nebraska and one of the largest multi-sport events in the United States during 2010.

PHILADELPHIA – Flyers head coach Craig Berube participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge on Thursday, and he did in style.
Dressed in a long-sleeved Flyers t-shirt, shorts and sandals, Berube was standing on the red line at the team's Skate Zone practice rink when he was drenched by someone dropping a large amount of ice water from a video booth.
Berube nominated three Flyers executives to do the challenge - assistant general manager Barry Hanrahan, director of scouting Chris Pryor and traveling secretary Bryan Hardenbergh.
Flyers center Vincent Lecavalier and right wing Zac Rinaldo also recently did the Ice Bucket Challenge, which is raising awareness and money for ALS. Lecavalier did his next to a dog that was fitted in a Flyers orange shirt with No. 40, while Rinaldo was dumped on by a Skate Zone Zamboni.
Flyers right wing Wayne Simmonds was challenged this week by one of his biggest fans, a six-year-old Pittsburgher.
Flyers Hall of Fame goalie Bernie Parent also did the challenge.

The Museum's Upward Bound program is all about helping underprivileged youth aspire to great levels of achievement in education and in the workplace. Thanks to a generous grant and four-year partnership with the AT&T ASPIRE program, the Museum was able to double the number of 9th and 10th graders enrolled in its Upward Bound Math & Science program. Over the four years, the awarded grant of $398,214 has allowed the Museum to hire up to four mentors each year as well as a full-time staff member whose focus is college counseling, in order to improve the participants' ability to compete for entry into college.
"This program reached out to me and gave me the support and confidence to become the person I am today, which is a strong African American girl that knows where her path lies. My path lies down the road of success, achievements and accomplishment," said Jessica Joseph, Upward Bound Math & Science participant class of 2011.
AT&T's ASPIRE program is a $100 million initiative that addresses high school success as well as college and workforce readiness. It is the company's most significant education initiative to date and one of the largest corporate commitments ever to address high school success and workforce readiness. The program is centered on four key components:
- Awarding grants to school districts, school district foundations and nonprofit organizations focused on preparing students for college and/or the workforce.
- Providing job-shadowing opportunities for 100,000 students, in conjunction with Junior Achievement Worldwide, giving students the chance to see firsthand the job skills needed to be successful in the future.
- Commissioning the next chapter of major research on the high school dropout issue and solutions by directly engaging educational practitioners; and underwriting 100 community dropout-prevention summits, organized by America's Promise Alliance, to engage education experts and community leaders across all 50 states around the high school dropout crisis and ways to address it.
During the school year, Upward Bound Math & Science students participate in Saturday workshops at the Museum covering a wide variety of topics including hands-on science activities, tutoring and homework help, college preparation, computer lab access and internship experiences. In the summertime, students participate in an intensive six-week field research experience that allowed them to deepen their science, research, and technology skills. All of these components were designed increase the students' belief in their abilities and motivate them to stay on track to get into, and finish, college.
"In the past two years, 100% of our students have graduated from high school and all of our current senior class students have met the requirements for graduation in 2012." said Amy Rubinson, Director of Youth Development at the Museum. "We are so proud of the students' many accomplishments, including several scholarship awards from the prestigious Dell Scholarships to Gates Millennium Scholarships. We greatly appreciate philanthropic organizations like AT&T for providing us the opportunity to keep this important program going."
Miami Science Museum's Upward Bound Math & Science program engages under-represented youth in the sciences by encouraging them to stay in school and pursue post-secondary education in science and math. Since the program's inception, 98% of students enrolled have graduated from high school and over 90% have pursued a college education, compared to 54% graduation rates and 65% college enrollment rates at the Program's target schools. Currently, Miami Science Museum is the only museum in the country operating an Upward Bound Math & Science Center. All others are university-based. The Museum's program has received many accolades, including National Award for Museum Service for Excellence in Youth Programming in 2001, and the coveted NSF Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring in 2005.

After you have created a composition in After Effects, the process of outputting to a file is known as rendering and we are going to discuss the After Effects Render Queue in this movie. To render a composition, either select it in the Project panel or bring it its tab forward in either the Timeline or Composition panels and select Composition > Add to Render Queue. The shortcut is Command+M on Mac or Ctrl+M on Windows. The Render Queue by default docks into the Timeline panel. You can go ahead and dock it into the Composition panel or some people will prefer to undock it and make it its own floating window. But we will keep it in the Timeline for now.
By default After Effects will create a file name based on the composition's name. You can change this name by clicking on the Output To text, which will open up a normal output dialog depending on your operating system, and you can go ahead and rename it such as map output and save it where you want on your drive. You can also have After Effects ask you for a name every time you add a composition to the Render Queue. To do that, go under Preferences > Output and disable Use Default Filename and Folder.
When After Effects renders a file it's actually performing two steps internally. The first step is that it takes all the information for a given frame and renders it to an internal file or internal buffer and it uses the settings inside the Render Settings dialog to decide how to render that frame. After the frame has been rendered, After Effects then looks at the output module to decide how to save that file to disk, what file format to use, what codec to use, etcetera. So let's go ahead and look at the settings for both of those. You can create a series of templates for both Render Settings and for the output module in After Effects.
And we will discuss that more here in a minute. To see what templates are available, click on the arrow next to Render Settings and you will get a list of the current templates. Before you render you can select a different template, for example DV Settings. If you would like to choose a different template to be your default template next time you render, first hold down Command on Mac or Ctrl on Windows, then click on this arrow and pick a new template and now that will be your new default template for Render Settings or for the output module.
To edit the Render Settings just click on the name of the template. The Render Settings dialog has a lot of switches. Most of them give you an opportunity to override settings that are already in your composition. Now the first two are Quality and Resolution. In almost all cases you want to go ahead and leave those at the defaults. So Best Quality and Full Resolution. The only time you would set those to anything else is if you are trying to create a really fast low-resolution proof. Usually you want After Effects working at the Best Quality all the time. After Effects has the ability to cache frames that you have already previewed to disk, you can go ahead and use that disk cache during the render if you like.
After Effects also has an accelerated OpenGL Renderer, we tend to leave this off and use the Full Quality software renderer. Some other switches that may be of interest to you include the Effects switch. If you are the type of person who temporarily turns off an effect just to speed up rendering and you might have forgotten to turn it back on when you did go to Render, you can go ahead and change the Effect pop-up to all on. Again if you need to do a high-speed render you might set it to all off. We tend to leave it at current settings. Color Depth, quite often when we are working on a project we will use the Project Settings of 8-bits per channel which is of reasonable quality and renders faster but when you do your final render and you are trying to get that last bit of extra quality out of it you might want to up this to 16-bits per channel, 32-bits per channel is a special floating point mode and it can change how some images look, if you are going to use floating point, you really should be working in this mode all the way throughout your project and not set it just at the render stage because it may alter how some things look.
Frame Blending and Motion Blur are some of the effects, you may be turning them off temporarily just to work faster but then you might want to turn them on when it comes time to actually render. Same thing for Motion Blur. Field Rendering is very important. Some video formats do have interlacing or fields in it to get smoother motion. DV for example, defaults to Lower Field First. If you are doing something that's progressive scan such as output for the web or a film rate stuff or HD you want to turn the Fill Renderer off. If you are rendering to a Hi-def format with fields such as HDV, you want to pick Upper Field First and something other NTSC and PAL professional formats also maybe lower or upper depending upon the card that you are using.
3:2 Pulldown refers to a special trick where you may be working on a composition beside a film like rate, like 23.976 frames per seconds, but you need to layoff a tape that actually had a video rate of 29.97 frames a second. To do that you set your field order, DV is Lower Field First and enable 3:2 Pulldown. This will then spread out the rendered frames across all the video fields to get the final frame rate that you need but still contain that film like motion. These different characters indicate different bases of the pulldown, this really only applies if you are trying to match back to a film edit, if you are just doing a video work, pick the first one they are all the same.
Time span is particularly important. A lot of the After Effects templates default to Work Area Only and you may preview just a small part of your composition that you are working on. However, quite often when you render you want to render the entire length of the composition. So you want to pay particular attention to this pop-up and maybe even create some templates for yourself that uses that as the default. If you want to render a very specific area of your composition you can select Custom here or click on this Custom button and enter the exact range you want. For example you might want to start your render at 2 seconds and you might want to render just say 3 seconds of your composition. After Effects will then automatically fill in the numbers that you need to make that happen.
When you are done, click OK. Once After Effects has used your Render Settings to render out each individual frame of your composition, then it has to know how to save it to disk. That's where the Output Module comes in. Now once again you have a large number of templates you can choose from, we will go ahead and pick one of the NTSC templates for now. Just as with Render Settings, hold down Command or Ctrl and select a new template to go ahead and make that your new render default. For example, if you are doing live DV work you may pick DV as being your default template and then if you want to edit the Output Module click on the text for the template's name.
The most important choice is what format you want to save the file to. QuickTime movie is very common, if you are creating content for the web you may pick FLV, another common interchange is to go ahead and pick an Individual File Sequence for example, PNG sequences are very popular for doing high quality renders you can hand off to almost anybody. After you have chosen a format you then want to make sure you click on the Format Options, the buttons hiding off here to the side. Here is where you can set up additional parameters about your render. For example, if instead of rendering to DV you want to go ahead and render to the Animation codec, you want to make sure you drag your quality all the way to Best, for it to be a lossless render.
After you have chosen your format then you need to worry about what color information you need to render that file. Just the RGB Color Channels, just the Alpha Channel or Transparency or a combination of RGB + Alpha. Not all codecs support RGB + Alpha. For example videotape does not have an Alpha Channel. So if you have chosen DV, something specific to like an AJA or a Black Magic card, you will not be able to pick this option. If you are picking something you want to hand off to an editor later on, that they are supposed to composite over the video edit, then you do an RGB+Alpha so that they will have the Transparency information.
After you have chosen that you will see that this pop up has changed to Milliona of Colors+. That means it's going to be 8-bit quality, millions of colors and the + means there is an Alpha Channel. Some other formats such as a PNG sequence involves trillions of colors, 16-bits per channel while some other high end formats like Open EXR will even allow you to save floating point images. If you are saving off a channel you need to decide how the Alpha is going to be matted on to the color information. After Effects defaults to Premultiplied, which means some of the background color is mixed in to the edges. In reality, most of the time we prefer to have a Straight Alpha channel. It's a higher quality format, it fills out the color channels beyond the edges of the Alpha Channel to make sure you get a nice, clean matte at the end and the editing systems like Final Cut Pro etcetera expect a Straight Alpha channel.
Here are also some additional what are known as post render actions, such as whether or not you want to embed the project file into your rendered movie, whether or not you want to save additional metadata that might have come from your camera with your rendered movie, and whether or not you want to import the rendered file back in After Effects, etcetera. There are two other interesting parts of the Output Module that make it very, very flexible. The Stretch and the Crop. Stretch gives you the ability to rescale the file. For example, if you wanted to make a smaller web version of this file you may go ahead and enter a smaller frame size, which is only 240 pixels wide. One important gotcha though is that if you have Field Rendered your final file, you never ever, ever, ever want to change the height. This will damage the fields that you have rendered. So you only want to change the height when you have done a progressive scan renderer and have no fields.
Because I have gone ahead and set this to Lower Field First, I am going to put that back up to my 480 pixels high. But something that does come in handy, let's say you need to create an anamorphic wide screen version of this. that's normally 720 pixels wide rather than the square pixels comp was using, I can go ahead and do that right here in the Stretch module. The Crop module comes in handy if you need to crop off areas. For example, if you want to crop areas outside your action safe to create a nice web version or if you need to go between the formats. For example in NTSC DV is only 480 lines tall but D1, the professional video format is 486 lines tall. You enter positive numbers to crop off pixels or negative numbers to pad or to add pixels on.
Again, if you are interlacing or Field Rendering, you really need to pay attention on what you are doing. Fields always come in pairs. So if you have field rendered information you want to enter only even numbers in the top and bottom values. If I want to pad 480 lines out to 486 I will put -4, two pairs of lines at the top and -2 one pair of lines at the bottom and now I have got 486 line height and nice D1 output.
Don't forget the audio, a lot of templates in After Effects have the audio output turned off, but if you are relying off the tape as audio you want to go ahead and pick the right sample rate. Professional video formats such as professional DV and D1 all use 48K as the audio sample rate. Consumer DV uses 32K. So again it depends on where you are going with this. 16-bit stereo is the most common audio format option as well. I will click OK. Now one of the wonderful things about the Render Queue in After Effects is that after it has rendered a frame it can go ahead and write that same frame to disk multiple times to different formats. So in this case, if I want to create a normal video output but say also wanted to create a web video output from the same file, I go ahead and click on + to add a new output module and then go ahead and change its settings.
For example, I might pick FLV, which is a common web video format. In this case since I have not chosen FLV before in this computer, After Effects will automatically open the Format Options for FLV for me, where I get to do things such as whether or not I need an Alpha Channel saved with my rendered file. After I have done that After Effects will remember those settings and if I need to change them just click on Format Options and you will get the same dialog again. Give the file its own name such as map web version and now I can go ahead and save multiple files to disk from one render in After Effects. That's a big time savings. If I want to double check my work I can just twirl down next to Render Settings or Output Module and double check all my settings. The really nice thing about the Output Module is even after I have finished rendering it will remember the file path of where I saved this on disk. So I can find it after I have rendered it. Very nice. If I have changed either the Render Settings or the Output Module, I can go ahead and save those settings to make it easy to use them later on. I will just go ahead and click on the arrow next to them and choose Make Template. This will open up a Templates dialog, where I can go ahead and give a name to my new settings such as DV special render settings.
I can go ahead and edit it further if I want to. In the same dialog, I can also pick what I want to be my defaults for movie, defaults for rendering out a single frame, etcetera. I have got the same options for the Output Modules, or again I can say Make Template, give it a new name, DV web special, edit it if I need to, change my defaults if I need to. In addition to be able to open up the Template dialog from the Render Queue you can also do it underneath the Edit Settings.
Edit > Templates and that will get you to the same place where you can go ahead and change your defaults or create new templates. Click OK, you can go ahead and queue up several compositions to render. For example, I can just drag in almost straight into the Render Queue, give it a name such as display render, click OK and After Effects will render all of these as a batch. You can go ahead and walk off somewhere else and do some other work while After Effects works for your. When you are ready to go, click the Render button. If you need to pause the render for any reason, click on the Pause button. If you want to stop a render, there is a really nice hidden trick inside After Effects. If you hold down the Option key on the Mac or Alt key on Windows and click on Stop, it will go ahead and create a duplicate of the composition that you stopped with all of your same render settings including your own file.
This is very important because it allows you to re-render with the exact same settings. Otherwise After Effects will create the new entry in the Render Queue that only has the remaining portion of your render not the entire length. Quite often you want to re-render the entire movie. So remember Option or Alt+Stop allows you to go ahead and re- render the whole thing over from scratch. While After Effects is rendering, you will get to see some important information such as what frame and what field is it on while it is rendering, how much time has elapsed. After it has done a few frames, so it will even give you an estimate how much time is remaining and if you are very curious to see exact what's going on in every frame you can go ahead and twirl down next to Current Render and it will give you exact details of what's going on at each frame as it is rendering those frames. And that's a quick overview of the Render Queue in After Effects. It's very flexible and very powerful and really makes it a lot easier when you need to render many variations of the same comp or render a bunch of different compositions all at the same time.

This! The 200X Sorceress was at or near the top on several occasions and Super7 should release her in 2017.
That being said, this is my top 10 200X and Filmation wants:
200X Wants:
Hello all. Preferably, I'd like a complete upper torso but I'd gladly accept the shoulders and upper biceps. I'm also looking for a set of Zodak boots. Here's the Fisto belt I have to trade.
We REALLY need an MYP/200X Sorceress!
I received my Callix today and I was really looking forward to this figure but a close inspection revealed a stress crack on rear portion behind the left leg of this new figure! I had not posed the...
I was not "ripping apart" the Flogg figure. The legs were barely touched and there is still a stress mark. Please don't assume to know my method for disassembling a figure. I am a customizer and by...
I have "boil and popped" several MOTUC figures for various reasons and I have even sculpted some additional parts as well as a Roboto head for this figure, so I'll forgo asking other customizers...
I FINALLY got around to fixing my exploding crotch Roboto. Here are some images after I removed the legs.
I believe I understand how this figure broke. Aside from some...
Hey Bonehead, do you remember your opinion on Multi-Bot early last year? I guess he's not doing so bad for being less popular than Dragstor on these forums? :hmlol:
MYP Sorceress
Teenage Prince Adam
Teenage Teela
King Randor (The one we were supposed to get until they released pajama Randor)
Queen Marlena (Battle Armor variant as well)
Odiphus and Old Man...

Seeing 200X Sorceress and Evil-Lyn facing off helps drive home just how awesome a 200X 2pk of these two would be!

It would be nice if a 2.0 Roboto materialized that didn't have a cracking torso or backwards shoulders, not to mention the exploding pelvis that my Roboto recently experienced. That first Roboto was...
Teela and Evil-Lyn are the first two ladies of MOTU so I think they're the most deserving of more variants. Both Evil-Lyn and Teela need their Filmation as well as 200X variants. That said, I'm...
This! And as MGM has repeatedly stated, 200X Sorceress is THE most wanted variant at this point.
I often brought up a 200X Sorceress vs 200X King Hsss 2 pack, but since we've recently been given 200X King Hsss, I'm 100% for this 2 pack.
This is DEFINITELY the 2 pack I have been wanting for some time.
Exactly! I also didn't like them oversized in the 80's much like I didn't like Orko oversized either. Both birds are appropriately scaled now and I'd rather the tooling used for other items.
Lord Masque.
It would make much more sense for them to release Hawke in her MYP look and a FILMation Delora with FILMation Hawke head. They are identical figures.
Oona from the Mask of Power comes to mind or her recolor Karyn from Wizard of Stone Mountain.
I'd take MYP Hawke.
- - - Updated - - -
This guy on the left?
Agreed! My vote goes with 200X Sorceress!
With the vintage MOTU collection being finished off by 2016, there may not be enough demand for specific Era mini subs. What if the specific sub you want fails but another sub goes through? I'm not a...
I agree with those of you who have said that a 2016 Club Eternia should be a mix of Era's.
3 Filmation, 3 PoP, 3 MYP, 3 NA.
A few variants I'd like to see are: MYP Sorceress, MYP King Randor,...
Yeah, this thread probably should have been closed at the deadline. :hmlol:
The 200X hate usually comes from the same suspects. FILMation was great for its time but MYP took the torch and gave MOTU some much needed backstory as well as continuity.
Til all are one! :hmlol:

I felt exactly the same once I saw MYP.
One for me!
I never bought the original Classics King Hsss. For me, it never made any sense for the King of the Snake Men to be running around grinning while wearing a Zorro mask. Even if it did, this disguise...
I think at this point, it may be asking too much to have them use additional parts from Rattlor or another character. But IF they did use different parts, I wish they'd make a loincloth with a tail...
Agreed! This whole "doesn't look like a MOTU figure" argument against 200X/MYP is an old one that needs to go away. Personal preference is fine but the argument quickly falls apart with the mere...

Did Samsung show off the Galaxy S III at CES?
0. phoneArena 17 Jan 2012, 09:25 posted on
During Samsung's CES press conference, they covered a wide array of products from their portfolio, like cameras and other appliances, but at one point during the event when they were talking about the neat features of their Samsung WV850F camera, an interesting...

I see two problems with a bezel that small.
1) Constantly activating apps that are on the sides of the screen.
2) Too little bezel leaves little room for a case to grip onto the side and remain protective IMO.
Too much looks terrible but too little IMO can mess up the experience/durability of the device.
29. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
one thing I read before is that they can control how sensitive certain parts of the screen are.. basically making the outter most areas of the screen less sensitive to accidental touch.
if that's the sgs3 I want it! I sure hope it has that second Gen gorilla glass.
60. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
Samsung and Corning (who makes Gorilla glass) have a massive joint venture for fortified glass. Don't worry, even if it doesn't have a named product like the 2nd gen Gorilla glass, it's glass will definitely be on par or better - just like the unnamed fortified glass on their other products like the Galaxy Nexus.
49. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
it also looks a little oversized... the bezel is slightly too small but it looks uncomfortable to hold with ur hands on the sides anyways
52. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1163; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
While I don't necessarily agree with you on the case point, because I think that having a good grip on the top and bottom would be enough to keep the case on the phone (and the picture shows there is a small bezel for a small grip on the sides). Also, I do think Samsung makes some of its own cases (or at least they work with a manufacturer to design the cases), so I would think they would have thought it through if this device is real and not a mock up.
But, your other point does bring up somewhat of a good question. I have wondered if Android would bring in double-tap to open up applications in the future. I myself have experienced from time to time opening up an app by mistake. I think it should be an option under settings whether you want to turn that on or not. So, if they fixed that problem, I am sure this would be a good phone.

Here's to hoping that is the SGSIII. . . W8 a sec, doesn't that resemble the sketch of the so called iPhone5? Damn the suing thing will rage on I guess.
3. cristhiansaid (Posts: 30; Member since: 25 Jun 2010)
wtf????? samsung galaxy s III???? it is so thin and sexy.... lol
5. k1ng617 (Posts: 264; Member since: 13 Oct 2009)
Although sexy it looks fake to me. Plus, why are the corners of the screen rounded? Screams mockup!
8. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Sure it is a mock-up, but as I can remember most if not all phones started out as a mock-up design.
6. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
looks like a Galaxy S2 look at the bottom you can see the home button witch could be of no use on a deice ruining ICS from the moments its shipped
7. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Yeah the only physical difference I see is the widened screen.
34. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
It could be a galaxy note
61. sumdude (Posts: 50; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
That sure looks like a Galaxy Note to these eyes, distance and angle just makes it look like an edge to edge design.
62. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
no, the note is very different,
53. Synack (Posts: 677; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Only the Nexus will be using the on-screen buttons. Currently the Nexus S and SGS2 are going to be upgraded to ICS and neither have the on-screen buttons. Also the SGS2 has that home button. So it is very possible.
55. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
The idea so far is That everyone uses it because they can make better designs with their devices and have a clean look I can understand if a company like HTC takes some time to use the on screen buttons in its new concepts but Samsung has being using this for some time so maybe they are willing to use it to make smaller devices that look better

is un ugly phone... ugly button on the bottom.. so much for carrryng ICS.. ohh wait by Q4 they wil announce that sometime in the 2013 it will carry ICS... thats Samsung for you guys
15. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
oh you become a troll now...if you believe the s3 will come without ics then your dumb...the gs2 line outside the US is already slated to get ics by the end of Q1 so please do dome research before trolling...and finally if you think thats the s3 because of rumours you are stupid because you should have learnt from the apple iphone 5 i mean sorry the 4s rumour mill that you shoulnt believe what you read unless it comes from official source.
18. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
I guess karma does exist... didnt understand a word you said/typed... me a troll??? please... what gave that idea...
19. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
well you clearly cant read then can you?
23. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
dont get mad... dude they do this to me all the time... so just breath... again..... there you go.. better now?
25. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
am not mad i just for once would like to get a decent comment back that looks like it is written by an intelligent person and not a child or a blind fanboy(i have nothing against fanboys but there are some pathetic fanboys from android,ios etc that annoys the hell out of me)
26. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
dont be quick to judge... what I said about the SGSII is my opinion.. either you respect that or not.. but u made a dumb comment and i reply... just letting you know..
27. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
but your opinion was wrong and right...wrong because the s2 international version will get ics by the end of q1(reason for the many s2 ics official leaks) but right in the fact that the US variant will likely suffer the same fate as the original galaxy s and recieve it very late.you will be wrong that the gs3 will not ship with ics as samsung have said many times that tw5 which is based on ics is already in the works and i bet the s3 will be announced with a new tw5 just like the past 2 years...please elaborate on what was dumb about my comment
31. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
-"and finally if you think thats the s3 because of rumours you are stupid because you should have learnt from the apple iphone 5 i mean sorry the 4s rumour mill that you shoulnt believe what you read unless it comes from official source."-
as of right now regarding the SGSIII all are just rumors as Samsung has not released any information regarding specs on that device..could be wrong but I havent seen anything official by Samsung...
35. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
''is un ugly phone... ugly button on the bottom.. so much for carrryng ICS.. ohh wait by Q4 they wil announce that sometime in the 2013 it will carry ICS'' if its a rumour than why make such bold statements as if its the truth.

Don't feed troll, you got to know the ropes of Phone Arena, when Gallito, The Miz, Taco, etc, comment, just thumb down the comment and ignore it
28. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
sometimes its hard not to comment especially if that comment is obviously wrong
32. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
imagine if we all spoke the truth?... we speak our opinion.. thats what a public forum is...
36. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
nothing wrong with opinions as long as they can back it up.
38. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
opinion do not need to back them up.. is my opinion and I am entlitled to it... c'mon.. dont be so sensitive.. take it as is... I make dumb (we all do) comments all the time.. to me that pic is an ugly phone.. I mean for a flag device it should be more than a cheap looking mini tablet
39. Arpad (Posts: 40; Member since: 05 Jan 2012)
There is a fitting quote for you Gallitoking.

i find we differ in taste when it comes to phones but i agree with you on the fact that alot of ppl have their panties in a not.
...and the galaxy line is very sharp looking, the iPhone well.....femine,definetly meant for a woman's hands.

how cute you are trying so hard to be the next taco50, at least he was entertaining, had SOME valid and constructive points and didn't talk like he weighed 400 lbs and out of breath all the time :)
33. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Its not his fault typing must be really a lot of effort. And is definition of ugly really makes me laugh with the claims the galaxy is a copy exact replica of the iPhone so he is indirectly calling the iPhone ugly :)
41. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
the only thing cute it that avatar of yours...never said it was a replica.. it looks a lot like it... which is different... besides lots of people think like me .. thats why the lawsuits have not ended..
44. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
taken from the horses mouth the Galaxy S2 looks a lot like an iPhone and is Ugly then the iPhone must look ugly too. ;)
and I know my avi is cute :)

hahaha good point!
11. Leodrade (Posts: 87; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
Put a Samsung logo on top of it and it's my Galaxy Note, and about the bezel it's probably some effect because when a commercial for the HTC Titan launched in my country it seemed as if there was no bezel at all but actually the phone got a quite a big bezel
17. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
exactly its obviously a note but some are just plain gullible and dont use any sense.

Assuming this will be announced at the end of Feb/early March, it'll launch around June-July... Meh, too late to be honest -__- why didn't they just announce it at CES? Because they couldn't get ICS on it in January...

love the look of the phone, but would be dissapointed if the "home" button stayed, with it being ICS why would you not have on screen key functions? plus it would make bezeless mean a whole new thing....unless i just made that word up just now

59. intos (Posts: 90; Member since: 06 Jan 2012)
it seem sooo thiny... and i really dont understand this fashion to make the phones extremely thin... where is the end ?? to make it like a paper ?or maybe to disappear ...
who knows ... by the way looks super...

what happened to the bezel??? looks cool but... i really wish samsung would step up their quality
64. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Im sure they will use better materials than what they did with the Galaxy S-models before. Could be the greatest smartphone outta there for 2012, like the Galaxy II was in 2011.
Go, Samsung!

As the Mid-Penn Conference prepares for the coronation of its eighth postseason king – it should be nine since the event began in 2005, but one tournament was wiped out by snow – here's a glance at the four candidates hoping to hoist a sizable trophy later this week.
GETTYSBURG (Colonial, 16-6) vs. HARRISBURG (Commonwealth, 20-2) at East Pennsboro High School, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
While Jeff Bair's Warriors will play in their first Mid-Penn tournament – Gettysburg last month claimed its first Mid-Penn regular-season title since 1994 – it might be their last chance, too, since plans to relocate the Adams Countians to the YAIAA in 2014-15 have been approved.
For Bair's Warriors to advance to Thursday night's championship game at Milton Hershey's Spartan Center, they must first shrug off the 10-day layoff that followed a loss to Boiling Springs in their regular-season finale and then dig in against Harrisburg's relentless defensive pressure.
Because the Cougars will bring it and bring it and bring it.
That defensive pressure may force Bair to employ 6-5 Cody Kiefer as an outlet for guards Ben Kroll and Colin Bortner – or as the primary ballhandler against Harrisburg's relentless squadron of backcourt players. If so, that will take Kiefer away from the offensive glass and heap additional pressure on 6-4 youngsters Trey Thomas and Tyler Lampe to fend off the Cougars.
Since depth is a Gettysburg concern, avoiding foul trouble is another must. The Warriors also must attack Harrisburg's press when opportunities arise, yet avoid getting into a 94-foot track meet. Ticklish balance.
Conversely, don't expect a Harrisburg side that's seeking its first Mid-Penn crown since 2005 to change a thing. Kirk Smallwood's deep, talented and tight-knit Cougars never do as they use their D to create O.
Steven Stoney has been especially effective for the Cougars, coming off the bench to provide offensive firepower – whether he's finishing at the rim, keeping the ball alive on the glass or finding a teammate.
Harrisburg also has gotten terrific play from burly 6-5 Shaquon "Shoop" Sheppard in the paint. He'll be a serious matchup issue for the Warriors. Depth up front will come from 6-5 Dom Lewis, 6-3 Chris Britton and 6-3 James Ezell, all of whom will attack the glass.
The Cougars also can feature different looks in the backcourt, as slick lead guards such as Jerel Patterson, Jamaal Carter and Ashtin Cooksey-Easter can turn opponents over and set up easy finishes. Jahaad Proctor, Donald Ralls and Kyle Cook also give Harrisburg another dimension offensively, since all three can stroke the 3-ball consistently.
Since the matchups and styles of play favor Harrisburg – and the Cougars are coming off an overtime loss to Cape Henry (Va.) on Feb. 3 in Atlantic City – we'll anoint Kirk Smallwood's club as 14-point favorites.
STEEL-HIGH (Capital, 19-4) vs. SUSQUEHANNA TWP. (Keystone, 21-1) at Central Dauphin High School, 7:35 p.m. Tuesday.
WHTM will televise (Comcast channel 246).
Seems it was only yesterday when these sides collided in the opening round of CD's Hoffman Ford Tip-Off tournament on Dec. 7 – and, with the season so compact, maybe the calendar has pulled a fast one.
Susquehanna claimed the earlier matchup 69-58, using the perimeter effectiveness of 6-6 Jonas Page (20 points) as well as the interior work of 6-6 man-child Savalas Pope (15 points, 9 rebounds) and energetic 6-3 soph Joe Marshall (10 points) to chalk up an 11-point decision.
Takhi Turner added 11 points off the bench, while freshman Bud Mack dished out nine assists for the Indians. Steel-High, meanwhile, picked up a double-double (19 points, 15 boards) from Mark Perry and 19 points from high-motored Florida transfer Dee'quan Fleming.
And while Steel-High has won 19 of 21 since that season-opening weekend, Tramayne Hawthorne's Rollers also seem more stable in the backcourt since senior Eddie Furlan took over the point guard duties. Fleming also will pilot Steel-High's attack from time to time.
What the Rollers also have done is follow Perry's lead and attack the glass with authority. And with Mikohl Jenkins, Jaki Haywood and Sha'quinn McNeill back in the fold after some eligibility issues, those three will join up with Perry, Julian Grant, Anthony Ferguson and Broderick Simmons-Settles to crash the boards and set up second- and third-chance opportunities.
Jaki Bowman and Rameik James add even more depth while providing Steel-High with scoring potential from the perimeter.
Settling into an eight-man rotation that has Turner, fiery guard Jordan Millberry and Jheran Dunbar coming off the bench – Marshall, Page and Pope have been starting up front with Bud Mack and Gabe Mack in the backcourt – Vince Rogers can field a five-man unit that can torment opponents on the interior and from the perimeter.
They've also won 11 straight and 20 of their last 21 since downing the Rollers on opening night while climbing to a No. 5 ranking in the latest PennLive.com/Patriot-News Class AAA basketball poll.
For Millberry, the 5-4 junior who played at Susquehanna Twp. as a freshman before spending last season at Steel-High, Tuesday night's game carries plenty of importance. For a number of reasons.
"This game is going to be a lot of emotions, but for me it's just another game really," said Millberry, a terrific on-ball defender. "I'm really competitive and don't like losing, so I will be focused more than ever.
"It will be a fun and exciting game for me. I grew up with them guys and I love them like brothers, but on Tuesday it's strictly business. And I'm sure they understand that, too. But I will be ready and full of energy.
"It wouldn't feel any better earning bragging rights in the Mid-Penn."
While earning bragging rights is one thing, earlier results also have to be factored into Tuesday night's equation. That's why we'll make the Indians a five-point favorite to reach Thursday's championship game.
