Narciso y Goldmundoby Hermann Hesse
En esta obra Herman Hesse llega al punto culminante de su obra, narra la historia de dos personajes que encarnan aspectos esenciales -aparentemente opuestos- de la personalidad humana: el racional y el instintivo, lo consciente y lo emotivo, la ciencia y el arte. En una bibliografía muy extensa, que incluye sendos ensayos sobre Bocaccio y San Francisco de Asís, sus novelas que alcanzaron mayor difusión son Bajo la rueda (1906); Demian (1919); Siddharta (1922), que recrea los años de mocedad de Buda; la muy abrumadora trama de El lobo estepario (1927); Narciso y Goldmundo (1930), un bellísimo relato que transcurre en la época medieval y cuya versión cinematográfica estuvo en los planes de Luchino Visconti; Viaje a Oriente (1932), y El juego de abalorios (1940).
The Seasons of the Soulby Hermann Hesse Andrew Harvey Ludwig Max Fischer
Vowing at an early age "to be a poet or nothing at all," Hermann Hesse rebelled against formal education, focusing on a rigorous program of independent study that included literature, philosophy, art, and history. One result of these efforts was a series of novels that became counterculture bibles that remain widely influential today. Another was a body of evocative spiritual poetry. Published for the first time in English, these vivid, probing short works reflect deeply on the challenges of life and provide a spiritual solace that transcends specific denominational hymns, prayers, and rituals. The Seasons of the Soul offers valuable guidance in poetic form for those longing for a more meaningful life, seeking a sense of homecoming in nature, in each stage of life, in a renewed relationship with the divine. Extensive quotations from his prose introduce each theme addressed in the book: love, imagination, nature, the divine, and the passage of time. A foreword by Andrew Harvey reintroduces us to a figure about whom some may have believed everything had already been said. Thoughtful commentary throughout from translator Ludwig Max Fischer helps readers understand the poems within the context of Hesse's life.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Siddharthaby Hermann Hesse
Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse's most lauded book: The enchanting story of one man's journey in search of enlightenment Born into the privileged life of a Brahmin, young Siddhartha came of age surrounded by the teachings of the Buddha. But despite his earnest pursuit of enlightenment, Siddhartha is left unfulfilled. Determined to find his own path to the nirvana, Siddhartha leaves home to embark on a spiritual voyage, spurning the comforts of his caste and leaving behind all loved ones save for his best friend, Govinda. Homeless, without food, and dedicated to their austere lifestyle, the friends diverge along two separate paths. Govinda grows ever more dedicated to Buddhist teachings while Siddhartha travels a more meandering road--through asceticism, into an embrace of the joys of the flesh, and finally to an understanding of the nature of time, truth, and the ultimate path to self-realization. First published in Germany in 1922, Siddhartha grew in popularity through the 1960s, when it became a touchstone of the American counterculture movement. The book endures today as a stirring and lyrical exploration of self-discovery. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Siddharthaby Hermann Hesse
This classic novel of self-discovery has inspired generations of seekers. With parallels to the enlightenment of the Buddha, Hesse's Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's quest for the ultimate reality. His quest takes him from the extremes of indulgent sensuality to the rigors of ascetism and self-denial. At last he learns that wisdom cannot be taught -- it must come from one's own experience and inner struggle. Steeped in the tenets of both psychoanalysis and Eastern mysticism, Siddhartha presents a strikingly original view of man and culture, and the arduous process of self-discovery that leads to reconciliation, harmony, and peace.

Siddharthaby Hermann Hesse Joachim Neugroschel Ralph Freedman
Hesse's famous and influential novel, Siddartha, is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this strangely simple tale, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, has touched the lives of millions since its original publication in 1922. Set in India, Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, through the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation. This new translation by award-winning translator Joachim Neugroschel includes an introduction by Hesse biographer Ralph Freedman.
Siddharthaby Hermann Hesse Tom Robbins Susan Bernofsky
In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of his life -- the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace, and, finally, wisdom.
Siddharthaby Hermann Hesse Hilda Rosner
A book--rare in our arid age--that takes root in the heart and grows there for a lifetime. Here the spirituality of the East and the West have met in a novel that enfigures deep human wisdom with a rich and colorful imagination. Written in a prose of almost biblical simplicity and beauty, it is the story of a soul's long quest in search of he ultimate answer to the enigma of man's role on this earth. As a youth, the young Indian Siddhartha meets the Buddha but cannot be content with a disciple's role: he must work out his own destiny and solve his own doubt--a tortuous road that carries him through the sensuality of a love affair with the beautiful courtesan Kamala, the temptation of success and riches, the heartache of struggle with his own son, to final renunciation and self-knowledge. The name "Siddhartha" is one often given to the Buddha himself--perhaps a clue to Hesse's aims in contrasting the traditional legendary figure with his own conception, as a European (Hesse was Swiss), of a spiritual explorer.

Siddhartha (Dual-Language)by Hermann Hesse
Nobel prize-winning author Hermann Hesse imagined life in India during the lifetime of the Buddha to create this memorable tale about a restless seeker of enlightenment. First published in 1922, Siddhartha employs powerful symbolism to impart its timeless teachings.The story concerns a young Brahman who quits his comfortable home to join a roving group of holy men in striving to empty their hearts of passion and desire through self-denial and meditation. Discouraged by his failure to find Nirvana after three years of the strictest asceticism, the young seeker turns to the fleshly world, where he becomes a wealthy merchant and partakes of sensual pleasures with a sophisticated courtesan. Years of materialistic self-indulgence numb Siddhartha's soul, but at his moment of greatest despondency, he begins to experience his long-sought spiritual awakening. True enlightenment, he realizes, cannot be received from the lessons of others; it must be attained through individual struggle. This handy dual-language edition -- with its excellent line-for-line English translation on pages facing the original German text -- offers students an outstanding opportunity to hone their German-language skills while discovering a literary classic.

HAVANA (AP) - Wearing his traditional white Panama hat and smoking a cigar, the popular Cuban musician known as Compay Segundo celebrated his 94th birthday with hundreds of friends, fans and family members in the garden of a Havana hotel.
"You have to take good care of yourself," said Segundo, whose real name is Francisco Repilado, during Sunday night's celebration at the Hotel Nacional. "I'm happy," he added.
The musician and composer was surrounded by family and friends when he arrived at the hotel, which overlooks Havana's coastal Malecon boulevard and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
Earlier in the evening, thousands of people attending a production of Repilado's new play, "Se seco el arroyito (The Stream Has Dried Up)," sang "Happy Birthday" to him.
LONDON (AP) - Queen Elizabeth II met Dracula on Tuesday - and asked about his career.
At an investiture at Buckingham Palace, the monarch awarded 79-year-old actor Christopher Lee the title Commander of the British Empire, or CBE, for his services to entertainment.
"The queen said, 'You've had a long career' - it's 55 years now - and she asked me what I was doing now," said Lee, a longtime star for Britain's Hammer horror studio whose many films include "Horror of Dracula" and "The Curse of Frankenstein."
Born in London, Lee was educated at the prestigious Eton and Wellington schools. He joined the Royal Air Force at 17 and served as an intelligence officer during World War II.
NEW YORK (AP) - Sometimes, Chris Kirkpatrick of 'N Sync can't believe how his life has changed.
"It's absurd to have gone from totally poor to totally rich," the 30-year-old singer told Us Weekly for its Dec. 3 issue.
"I wake up in my house in the middle of the night and go, 'Whose house is this?"'
Growing up in Clarion, Pa., Kirkpatrick and his four younger half-sisters moved frequently.
After his father died, his mother worked as a maid and did odd jobs; his stepfather had trouble finding steady work.
At one point, they lived in a trailer that had no heat and a hole in the side. He used layers of dirty laundry as blankets to keep warm at night.

Dec 17 Summit Draft Raises Concerns
November 30, 2004
As the European Union (EU) Summit scheduled for December 17th nears, Turkey anxiously awaits the critical decision regarding when membership negotiations between Turkey and the EU will begin. A draft of the Summit proceedings submitted by the EU term president has fallen short of the expectations set by the Progress report issued in October of 2004. The draft was sent by the Netherlands to EU member countries yesterday and four of its points are being negatively perceived in Turkey: Negotiations may be suspended following the recommendation of 1/3 of members, restrictions may be applied to free movement of the Turkish labor force within the Union, a de facto recognition of the Cypriot Greek administration may be required, Turkey's membership may begin in 2014 at the earliest. Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said these tough elements of the draft are political tactics: "These could be changed 40 times. Prior to other important meetings, similar drafted were also released. Turkey's viewpoint and ideas are obvious. We are clearly conveying them to our audience. First, our expectations should be met. Negotiations should begin. Then, we can think about these types of things; we can look at the details." The Summit draft leaves the decision of if and when negotiations will begin to EU leaders. Diplomatic sources insist that this is the first draft presented by the Netherlands and that the text may be changed on December 17th. The draft sheds some light on the conditions being applied Turkey in the section outlining the negotiation procedures. Although the conditions are said to be applicable to all candidates, they are clearly included in the text for Ankara and the draft references the reforms made in Turkey. In addition, there are a few places where it is emphasized that the process for deciding if and when each candidate country can start negotiations will include a review of the effects of the 5th enlargement. The recommendation that member countries be given the authority to initiate suspension of negotiations is a departure from the recommendation in the Progress report issued earlier this fall, which gave this authority to the Commission. The Summit draft notes that 1/3 of Commission and member countries may recommend a halt in the negotiations. With this element, member countries are given more power regarding Turkey's negotiations. Even though the draft does not entertain the notion of "privileged partnership" for Turkey as demanded by France and Austria, negotiations are completely under EU leadership control. The draft stresses that negotiations are open ended and that the opening and closing conditions of the negotiations are determined by the member governments. The Draft does not directly call on Ankara to recognize the Cypriot Greek administration, but it does request modification to the 1963 Ankara Agreement that will allow the inclusion of 10 new members. EU member country ambassadors will be discussing the December 17th Summit draft tomorrow (December 1). 11.30.2004 Selcuk Gultasli Brussels

The Atlanta Braves sit at 54-38 going into the Midsummer Classic and are poised to continue their winning ways after the break. What are some big predictions that can logically be made about the Braves for the second half?
That's what I plan to throw out today.
This article comes on the heels of an embarrassing loss to division rival Philadelphia Phillies 14-1, but baseball is a sport that requires a week-to-week or even month-to-month overview rather than day-to-day.
With that being said, predictions for the entire second half of the season are reasonable, hopeful and always exciting, so without further ado...

My Cambodian Christmas Story
When I was invited to join the ACYPL delegation to the Philippines and Malaysia, they gave us the opportunity to extend our trip.
In college, I learned about Angkor Wat and always wanted to see it. Candidly, I didn't know where it was until researching a possible extension - learning it was in Cambodia. After quick research to make sure it was safe, I booked the ticket and off we go.
My Cambodia goal was singular: see Angkor. I didn't know if life would ever take me back to Indochina, so this was a check mark. Other than a plane ticket and a hotel reservation, I had done no prior planning. I thought I'd rent a bike and go tour. But thanks to 3am karaoke, I'd slept absolutely zero hours before leaving for the Kuala Lumpur airport at 4am. Exhausted and maybe a little hungover, I decided day one probably shouldn't be on a bike. So upon checking into hotel, I went down to the street and rented a Tuk Tuk driver for a whopping 18 bucks for the whole day.
So off we went. For the uninitiated, a Tuk Tuk is a two wheeled cart towed by a moped. In the hierarchy of traffic in Cambodia, its arguably just above a bike. And since the mopeds, cars, bikes and TukTuks tend to drive where there is open road, regardless of lane or traffic direction, every ride was its own adventure.
He spoke decent English. Most "white" visitors are European, so he was a bit shocked when I said "US." We chatted a bit as we rode up to Angkor Thom. After exploring for a few hours, we went to lunch. I bought him lunch to pick his brain on the area, beginning the three day conversation that will stay with me.
To me, Cambodia's poverty is devastating, far worse than Manila or Guatemala, my previous experience with soul crushing poverty. Per capita GDP is just over $2,000, or roughly 4 percent of per capita GDP in US. But in reality, this really overstates it. Some 80 percent live in poverty, defined as an income of 2 dollars a day or less. Most of that 80 percent makes more like a dollar a day. While wealth and cost of living, at some level is relative -- most of the meals I ate in the country, largely from street carts or market vendors, only cost 2-3 dollars, that is wicked expensive for most people who subsist on something akin to a rice soup. Any protein is a luxury here.
Riding by Tuk Tuk provided a vantage that a car or bus would miss: the smell and the noise. Rural Cambodia smelled like fire, because every home had one going in the yard to cook. As for noise, if not for the roar of an occasional tourist bus and mopeds, it would have been silent. We stopped at one particularly beautiful rice field, and it was absolutely still. You could hear animals and men cutting in the rice fields. No hum of development, no loud stereos. Quiet. Almost disturbingly so.
So back to my guy. Turns out we are same age. He's married. Three kids. Age 6, 3 and 1 (spoiler alert), the oldest who I first met when Syem and I ran into each other at a town Christmas lighting my first night there.
He was the first in his family to live outside of the rice fields. His family land was bombed by the US in the Vietnam War. His dad lost a leg to a mine accident, and it sounds like his brother has PTSD, which research unsurprisingly shows afflicts a disturbing percentage of the population here. There is growing evidence in Cambodia that because PTSD is so prevalent that it actually gets passed on to the next generation.
Despite this, my driver self taught English, not perfect, but plenty for us to communicate. Over lunch, I drill him a bit. He listens to voice of America and watches CNN & knows our politics well. He pointed out with frustration the pictures of government officials that line the roads, just muttering "corrupt, very corrupt" as we pass beaten down schools and hospitals. They don't really do anything for the people he says.
Tourism has been a boom for this part of Cambodia. Some 1 million people a year come to see Angkor. Hotels and new construction are everywhere. In fact, I found the town to almost be annoyingly western. You had to get out of city center to find good authentic food. The development has led to jobs, but its hard to say if people are really benefiting. I ran through several neighborhoods on Sunday morning & basic services are completely lacking. The beautiful river which goes through the center of town turns into a dumping ground, sewage ditch and sadly, swimming/bathing pool only a block away from the tourist district. Running past naked kids splashing in that polluted sewer of a river was jarring. The main hospital in town looked like a war zone from the outside. No westerner would go there except under total direst. Yet the wealth from tourism has led to a series of beautiful homes being built behind walls, just outside the city limits.
My guy came here after peace was restored in the late 90s, and all in all does well. Makes enough to be able to afford to send his kids to private school (50 dollars a month) where they will learn English. He owns his own cart, though he seems to operate as a subcontractor for the hotel, which I'm assuming provides him a lower, but more steady income. His wife does not work now, so he has to earn for him, his family, his disabled dad and his brother, who can't hold down work. In a year, he will make less than I made in a month at 24 years of age.
Like him, there isn't a family that wasn't touched by the war that took some 2 million lives. My guy was a baby during the genocide, but like all Cambodian kids of the 80s & 90s, he grew up dodging landlines and dealing with violence from the ongoing civil war that didn't really end until nearly 2000. We'd drive down the road and he'd point out fields and say "pop, pop, Khmer Rouge" with his hand making a gun. Once he got on his knees to show an execution. And frankly, his story is a relatively tame one. He's still here, along with his parents. Plenty of late 30s/early 40s guys in Cambodia can't say that.
Climbing temples, you can't help but think of families that hid in the ruins for years. And you can't miss the crushing poverty, in part because everyone is really short, growth stunted by lack of basic nutrition. Yet everyone you meet is absolutely wonderful. Cambodians, despite their history and poverty are some of the most welcoming and gracious people on the planet. And that's where it gets you, and if you let yourself dive in, it's no longer a vacation. In fact, I never once felt threatened -- well except when I got a stink eye from a military officer running through town. My gut says most Cambodians probably feel the same way.
You can get Templed out here. On day 2, we did like 12-14 sites. Climbing up old stairs not built for 200lb guys with size11.5 shoes, even when you are decently fit, will wear you out. So by Day 3, I just wanted to explore. There was a temple about 35km north of town and a museum to landmine nearby that I wanted to see. But I told my guy I just wanted him to show me his country, the way he wanted me to see it.
When he picked me up, he had his kid. There were places he wanted to show him too, now that he was 6, who had not been beyond the Angkor temples, which are 10km north of town. So we climbed in the cart and off we went. As soon as we got outside the temple tourist area, Cambodia changed. We passed ox drawn carriages taking timber and rice to the market. We drove by homes, usually just a 15x15 platform, raised up on stilts to avoid the floods, with families cooking on their open fires, kids often playing in nearby ponds, some of which were bomb craters. I didn't run into a single beggar, but I was definitely economic development. Every time we stopped, sometimes for above mentioned ox carts, people would run to the tall white guy trying to get me to buy everything from baskets, to rice, to trinkets and even used Tupperware. When we'd walk around, my driver's kid would often ride on my shoulders (not sure he's hung out with many 6ft tall white people), which only drew more sales people, sometimes other kids who really wanted me to put them on my shoulder as much as wanting me to buy their stuff.
At one temple, I met a girl selling scarves. She looked 11. I asked her her name and age. She was 21, raising money for college, so she said. There was a story with every kid selling things, and prewired to be cynical, I thought it was BS, so I asked her course of study: economics. I was still skeptical, so I asked her why many Cambodians choose the dollar over the Cambodian Rial. Her answer: 2-3 minutes on the micro economics of the country and lack of trust in Cambodian authority/currency policy. So I bought four scarves. Sad thing is, she's exactly who Pol Pot would have targeted- someone trying to better their own lot by being more intellectual. That's who they killed in the genocide. As a result, some studies suggest illiteracy is as high as 90 percent.
This is a crowd that seems to take real pride. Every morning, you'd see ladies sweeping the dirt medians, or cleaning up the market area. Guys were chopping down weeds with machetes. Some of them are paid, but most of them aren't. Kids are taught to bring their hands together and bow to guests. My six year old buddy bowed to me. By the end of the day, I'd proudly taught him the fist bump as a more appropriate greeting for me. His Dad approved.
I could tell stories for weeks about little interactions here or there, and I found myself exhausted of tourists who would treat their Cambodian hosts like second class citizens, and/or those who chose to not show respect at their monuments. For all they have survived, they've earned our respect in my opinion. I haven't had to endure 1/1000th of what the average 40 year old Cambodian has dealt with.
Back to the trip. It's me and the kid in the cart. We rode down the "highway" as he pointed out the animals: monkeys, dogs, and assorted other things. I ran him through his colors and numbers. Smart little dude.
Typically, because my driver hadn't paid the "fee" to be an "official" guide, over the three days, when we got to temples, he didn't accompany me into temples (unless there were no police around). He did ask me to take his kid to one early on day 3, which was more fun for me than him.
When I got to the genocide museum, I expected to go it alone. But before I knew it, I had a six year old at my feet, as well as his Dad. We spent an hour in that museum. He explained to me the pictures, the political figures and the weapons. He knew every gun, it's common name and what country it came from. He showed me the uniforms. His view of foreign policy was impacted by those countries who armed Pol Pot. This wasn't a museum for him, this was his life. His kid had no idea what were seeing, he was just running around like a kid, mostly pointing out tad poles in a nearby pond.
But then we got to a wall of pictures that hit me like a 2x4. It was of child soldiers, some as young as 8. They taught the kids that shooting was a game. There was a poster of a kid asking a dead man to "get up, i want to keep playing." And I looked at that kid who had been in the cart all day. And I had to walk outside. That was all the Cambodia I could take.
I went back up to Angkor Wat for the final sunset. Most people watch it from a hill nearby so they can see the sun set over the temple. That hill can have literally thousands of tourists, which was the last thing I needed. A lady at the hotel told me to go inside, that no one is there, and watch the color of the stone change. And she was right. There were maybe 5 of us in that upper courtyard watching the light change. It was beautiful, as the shadows changed on the carvings. It was also a chance to process. How is it that people who literally have lived in a constant hell for 40 years still be as warm and welcoming as they are? I'd like to think I wouldn't be angry, or have total disdain for guys like me. I'd like to think that.
He took me to the airport late on Sunday night, gratefully for me, sans kid. First time in three days we didn't talk. I didn't know what to pay him each day, so I'd give him two $20s, twice his fee, but still way too little. Each day, as he did at the airport that night, he'd try to give me $20 back, saying "too much...too much." Too much? I'd pay for his kids to go to school if I thought he'd let me. We exchanged hugs, I gave him my card, and off we went back to our own, very different worlds -- worlds as different as planets.
Life's lottery is dumb luck. By world standards, if you are reading this, you like me are lucky. Guys like me don't have institutionalized limits on our dreams -- our dreams are limited only by our work ethic and often the luck we create. That kid's future is predestined largely by the geography of his birth, yet he was like any other six year old. Fortunately for him, he is getting an education, clearly has two good parents, but the history of Cambodia suggests there is no guarantee for him or his age cohort. In a land of such poverty and disparity, violence is always a real possibility. As the kid gave me a hug and a fist bump at the end of that long day, I do know I'll always wonder.
You can go there and rent a car, or hop on a bike and go temple hopping. I expected to be, and was wowed by the temples. What I didn't expect is to get hit over the head by the place. A friend who went to grad school in Vietnam told me that three days was all they could handle in Cambodia before it started to break them down. I didn't understand. I do now.
I do believe things happen for a reason. Maybe God felt I needed to be reminded of the blessings of life in America. Regardless, His Christmas present to me was that regrounding that we all need from time to time.
With that, the blog will return to politics soon, as life's other journeys take priority. I sincerely appreciate all the comments I've gotten over the last two weeks. Just do yourself a favor: go see it for yourself. Angkor is amazing in its own right, but the people you meet are worthy in their own right of your trip. And if you go, I know where you can find a guy there with a moped and a cart. Just down the street from the Borei Angkor hotel. Only 18 bucks for the day.

To the Editor.—
May I comment on the letter of Dr. George H. Kraft (227:1009, 1974)?In spite of the fact that it would be difficult to find fault with Dr. Kraft's logic as regards the purely technical and theoretic aspects of electromyography and the value of its contribution to clinical medicine in the proper hands, I would like to bring to his attention the fact that the neurological sciences have apparently not evolved to the point where it is easy to obtain reasonable electromyographic evaluations. As a clinician in practice, I find that neurologists are rarely interested in or able to perform electromyograms well. In a large number of cases, one must rely on other clinical data without what would be reassuring and valuable information, were the procedure to be performed at the hands of a true professional. I would, however, suggest that a technically capable individual who was

Nokia starting an ethics report to "understand what happened" with Lumia 920 camera marketing fiasco

You can't have missed it - Nokia unveiled its brand new Windows Phone 8 Lumia smartphones last week amidst high hopes…

I am pretty excited for this phone too.. it has to be priced right and i need some reviews before i jump from android

R U ready for some new restrictions?
27. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
r u ready to live without lag, crashing, regular restarting and short battery life?
36. redmd (Posts: 1268; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
short battery life is true to all smartphones except for my Razr Maxx lol we consider WP are smartphones yes? the current crop of Lumia phones don't have a good battery life. kindly check on some test done by reviews.
as I have been saying this again I prefer a little lag than an awful lot of limitations.
lastly I want to ask what you know about Android 4.1 jellybean.
38. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
can people stop holding adroid jellybean as this almighty OS
why dont you just give wp8 a chance, every OS has to start somewhere what if when android was starting someone decided its not worth it and crushed it out.
give the new OS a chance to expand ,improve and grow.
50. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
Windows phone is kind of like an evolution from windows mobile which is 12 years old.
41. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
What lag are you seeing on your RAZR? My RAZR with ICS has zero lag.
42. Alistaire (Posts: 132; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
How long is consider good battery life?
I use my lumia 900 daily from 6am to 5pm before I needs charge. That is I'm online one way or another constantly for 11hrs. I'm quite happy with it.
45. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
i would have you know that my 710 has great battery life, it gets me thru the entire day, 3g always on and i am a heavy user and i have to charge it only at night. i know a lot about jelly bean, so much so that i saw a comparison of sgs3 with ics and jb and it was even slower than ics in some cases. and i cant stand that the sgs lags on the homescreen and it has 4 cores! four cores and its incapable of doing basic operatios properly. thats why i dont like android. i have a ics tablet and its constantly crashing and lagging. i cant stand it...
51. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
Jelly bean for the S3 isn't even a finished product, how is it meant to be smooth when it's not yet optimised?
57. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
yes it is, have a look
the jb one crashed its homescreen, on a factory reset device? no thanx...
61. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
It's not the final release. It's a leaked release of the official update. It's not yet released because it's un-optimised...
25. Alistaire (Posts: 132; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
I jumped from Iphone 4 to Lumia 900 and love it. I'm using it for business and personal, and now can't wait to upgrade to WP8.
Personally, Android UI is to cluttered for me. It's really just personal preference, they all do the same things andyway.
Go to the store to test out the UI for yourself when it's out.
21. som (Posts: 768; Member since: 10 Nov 2009)
Nokia camera photo shot in the dark technology is faking too by using flashlight for autofocus and compared with other phones without using flashlight. Bad Nokia and bad WP OS will loss big in market share.
26. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
So its nokias fault for being smart and using a phone feature to improve night photos? r u fn kidding me? those photos the 920 took would beat the others even with full flash on coz its a well known fact phone flashes always overbrighten the image. the 920 does it right.
89. p0rkguy (Posts: 685; Member since: 23 Nov 2010)
Keep trying to justify your purchase. It'll make you feel better about the company.
The feature the 920 used is called HDR. It's been out on other phones.
96. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
What purchase?? I feel very good about nokia ince 1998 when i bought my first 5110, since then not one nokia failed me, not one. and the only reason i stopped buying nokias is becouse i never liked symbian, now they are on the right track.
If its been out on other phones why do they all suck at taking videos and night photos?? the 920 looks to change all that, but we cant be sure for certain untill we try it. Looks good for now anyway...
23. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
My trust in nokia was never shaken, all this is is trolling by some samsung or iPhan boys trying to steal nokias thunder. fact is you never watch a commercial to see the specs of a phone, for that i watch countless independent reviews. all commercials are shot proffesionally and this was too. the fact remains that the 920 is going to have the BEST camera on a smartphone to date, no matter what you haters say.
30. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
Oh an you know what they say, bad publicity is better than no publicity :)
39. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
I love Nokia but, bad publicity is worse then none in this scenario because (and I'm not adding that I don't trust Nokia but, this is not the first time something like this has happen) at least people will still trust you with no publicity.
46. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
i have to disagree, so many people have now red the articles talking about this and theyve learned that nokia has this pureview tehnology. theyll consider that when buying a phone. and being logical beings theyll base their purchase on independent reviews which will show how good the camera is, not based on some commercial. i think people are smarter than you thik, for example i doubt anyone bought a galaxy s thinkin its an iphone...
52. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
Let's not judge too fast, it might be rubbish. We have only seen the shots from a high end professional camera...
56. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
take a look at this then, this was shot by a sgs3 and a lumia, what do you think?
58. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
That video you showed me makes no sense, but I followed a link from that onehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v
=jFhhBJ1URCg&feature=r%C2%ADeland it looks quite impressive. Too bad it's not on android :( I like android because I change the look all the time, for some reason I can't keep the same look for more than a few weeks. When Nokia make a pureview android phone, perhaps I will buy it, but until that day, I'm going to have to give it a miss. ated%EF%BB%BF
62. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
what makes no sense? the left shaky video was taken by a sgs3 at the same time as the right one with the 920, they were phisycallly connected and the right one turned out perfect and still. this shows that the ois technology is indeed a reality and not something made up. this same tech allows for those darkness photos...
63. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
How am I mean't to know which one's which. OIS wasn't invented by nokia, I know it's not made up. I'm not sure if it improves the low light photos. Also we can't be sure they are physically connected, this is nokia we are talking about... they probably shook the s3 nice and good for extra good measure.
71. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
well take a look at the presentation, at 1:05:00 youll see the rig used to film this. its not 100% proven untill you see this for yourself but I like it...

Didn't Nixon do the same thing?
32. Snoobab (Posts: 175; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Sometimes I'll go to McD's and they hand me a real s**tty looking burger. Nothing like the poster in the window. Why don't they apologize too? It's called marketing. No where did Nokia say "actual footage from Lumia 920", did they?
35. Alistaire (Posts: 132; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
yeah... I want the McChicken back to the way it was in 1998. It's shrunken and dry and thin now. Nothing like their ad.
67. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
Nor did it say "Not actual footage" so if Nokia is demonstrating to us the technology, we would automatically presume it is the phone being ued to demonstrate it. An advert in the window of Maccy D's is completely different to showing off the technology in a phone. It's not like McDonald's get a picture of a gourmet meal, and then give you a cheese burger.
55. tluv00 (Posts: 134; Member since: 18 Oct 2007)
An advertisement that lied? Never!
68. erick01 (Posts: 22; Member since: 10 Sep 2012)
Way to go, Nokia!!! This is the right path when something wrong is related to your products. Nokia has a reputation to look after...Got that, Samsung? Nothing yet from You and your SELF-CRACKING S-III......
69. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
i think it was part of their surprise to put fake pics and videos up because now people are even more eager to see what really is the new tech about to just know the true story.i hape they got it correct in the end when the review comes out cuz now reviewers can change the game for nokia before it releases
74. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Expected the least from a company like Nokia. But M$'s involvement in Nokia through their planted "Bot" (read Elop) make it to be most expected. May sound like consipracy theory but Elop is all out to ruin the company so that M$ finally buys it out for peanuts. All this faking was just a part of that Elop strategy. After all M$ wants to have something to show off (and also armtwist on patents) when compared to google's motorola.
80. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
You are all after elop for some reason i dont understand. What i ask you is this, what would you have done? Gone the android way? please, htc is in a heap of trouble, it has great hardware but is still just another droid phone maker. Symbian? please, it ruined nokia. MeeGo? in a world of ecosystems it would have done wors than symbian. Elop did the right thing and differentiated nokia from apple, samsung and htc. and diversity is good. history will show if the was right. i hope to god he was...
82. erick01 (Posts: 22; Member since: 10 Sep 2012)
On Elop, I still have my reserves....It is on Nokia where I put some of more of the blame for the OS slow growth. Nokia should have been more participative with IDEAS for the ecosystem. There are many good things from Symbian that would have made WP even better.
84. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
It's going from bad to worse. From the day this was decided about nokia "Elop"ing with M$ the nokia forums had enough of an indication where nokia would be heading. RIM also tried to differentiate from everyone. look where they have reached. More and more restricted devices are thrown at customers more they would turn to samsung. Sony/HTC/(Nokia also) et al all have primarily adopted Apple's methodology ... sealed battery no storage expansion etc. Samsung gives everything most of the time.. yes everything that customers want.
I can only wish that nokia bounces back ... but it looks tough because even on WP it's not a monopoly... there will be many players there too.
100. Alistaire (Posts: 132; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Why is it going from bad to worst? The smartphone growth for Nokia in now pretty much exclusively WP. They are gaining sales everyday not loosing.
Why all the doom and gloom from everyone? Short term thinking dose not make any good. Nokia is still the 2nd biggest handset maker in the work. Well, the 2nd "most shipped" in the world.
It is inevitable that WP sales with grow exponentially. With the release of W8, it's a natural progression for W8 users to WP8 users as well.
102. Alistaire (Posts: 132; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
typos... but you get the point
90. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
Idk if you didn't notice but HTC, Samsung, LG all make both windows and android phones. Nokia should do the same. I'm sure plenty of people on android would love to use a Lumia 920 like phone that runs android.
101. Alistaire (Posts: 132; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Stick with your android, you are obviously a fan.
It's really just personal preferences. If someone love ios or wp... that's their own personal preferences.
88. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Hey PA Mods. Reduce the number of rollover ads. They are really sickening and make navigation dificult.
91. T12RYK (Posts: 98; Member since: 10 Jun 2011)
I'm still getting the Lumia anyway, I had my mind set before they announced it. Hopefully this lowers the price or something good comes out of it for the customers...
92. steelicon (Posts: 317; Member since: 02 Apr 2011)
Nokia treats its loyal client fanbase like sh!t. First with underpowered overpriced devices, then the Nokia N97, then Nokia 5800XM, then the Nokia N8. Then not launching and releasing Nokia 808 PureView on time, then this so called camera phone with lesser features than the previous generation. Lies, lies, and more lies.
97. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Yeah this is just another stupid move by Nokia. How can one fall so much on a straight and well-beaten path? They should have let the matter die down. All this hoopla about an internal investigation will sound like utter BS to anyone who even cared and knew about the fake video and images, making them even more wary of Nokia. Nokia hasn't shown any grace with their belligerent and deceptive marketing in the past, with their "beta-tester" ads showing a pension for bigheadedness and bravado when their Lumia 900/800 were at the back of the line in terms of capability, and the Smoked by WIndows campaign which was just choreographed garbage. Their old Lumias couldn't live up to all their claims or even achieve the same level as other phones, and they knew it, so instead they resorted to cheating their way into the big leagues. The recent botched ads are nothing unexpected in the sort of dirty marketing Nokia utilizes. Why people are even surprised at this point is a wonder.

For Nokia, let's just hope that any of these won't happen when they launch their new phones

i still have high hopes for nokia, as we all now, even you deny it, all of us had nokia phones before and it didn't missed us to give such a high quality phone even the cheapest ones

The parking lot was full of "East of the Cooper" Spirit on Wednesday, Oct. 16 at the Bees Landing Recreation Center in Charleston. Cars, Van and SUV's were decorated with school mascots, sayings and cheers.
No. 2 seeded Cario Middle School and No. 4 seeded Moultrie Middle School had advanced to the Sixth Grade North Division Post Season Tournament in the Lowcountry Volleyball League.
The 5:30 p.m. championship face off went three games before the winner was determined. The first two games split with Cario winning game No. 1 and Moultrie winning game No. 2.
In Game No. 3 – the Championship Game - the score "see saw-ed" for the first few points. It was tied 2-2 in the blink of an eye. Cario's Emma Fields served three points, which included two aces, to put them up 5-2. However, Moultrie's defense earned themselves a sideout and opportunities to score.
Moultrie's Chloe Berda and Gracie Moneyhun stepped up to serve five points between the two of them. Moultrie pulled ahead 9-8. Cario was forced to call a timeout. When the game resumed, Cario's Grey Gosnell spiked the volleyball into Moultrie territory to tie the game 9-9. Cario's momentum surged as Gosnell shot another spiked ball at the Moultrie defense to put Cario ahead 10-9.
As both teams battled, the score remained very close. Cario won the game and the match. Cario Middle School was awarded the 2013 tournament championship. Moultrie Middle School, who defeated No. 1 Christ Our King the day before, was awarded the 2013 tournament runner up.

Is it just me or was last night's XBOX premier on MTV LAMEASS?

Not just you...Posted: May 14, 2005 12:00AM PST by autonomousaxiom
I wasted a half hour of my life and learned absolutely nothing about the 360. I was hoping for at least a firm release date... Although Tony Hawk's American Wasteland sounds very interesting, if the 2 seconds of what Hawk said about it is true... But THAW is a way lamer nickname than THUG...
True thatPosted: May 14, 2005 12:00AM PST by Revolution1117
Then again, what do we expect from an MTV program hosted by Elijah Wood, Sway, and featuring the Killers? I knew they would find some way of fucking up the long awaited return of the console. I'm glad Sony is a little more in touch than Microsoft

On Syria: Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right
Right after 9/11, I asked a kid in my neighborhood what we should do in response. His answer: "Those people did something very wrong ..." He thought pensively and continued, "But two wrongs don't make a right."
As Martin Luther King taught us, you cannot fight fire with fire, you only get a bigger fire. You fight fire with water. You fight violence with nonviolence. You fight hatred with love.
As a Christian, a follower of Jesus the Prince of Peace, I am deeply troubled about the possibility of a military response to the violence in Syria. Jesus consistently teaches us another way to respond to evil, a third way – neither fight nor flight. He teaches that evil can be opposed without being mirrored, oppressors resisted without being emulated, enemies neutralized without being destroyed.

When the Rev. Max Myers announced his candidacy last week for the Democratic nomination for governor of Pennsylvania, rival John Hanger dumped a load of "oppo" on his head.
Who? What?
Most Keystone State voters have not yet, it is safe to say, tuned in to the 2014 governor's race, but the competition to replace Gov. Corbett grows more heated by the day. At least a dozen have declared, said they're considering it, or have been listed as likely suspects.
Hanger, the former state environmental secretary who was the first announced candidate, felt the need to deploy negative "opposition research" to attack the second, Myers, an ordained Pentecostalist minister from Cumberland County, as a religious zealot.
