Samsung having problems producing 441ppi displays, possibly for the Samsung Galaxy S IV
0. phoneArena 20 Nov 2012, 22:43 posted on
Speculation that the Samsung Galaxy S IV will have a 5 inch screen with a 1080p resolution and 441ppi pixel density is tempered by the rumor that the Korean manufacturer is having difficulties producing the display...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Hey Samsung, take your time then! I'd die for a 1080p amoled screen and anything less would be disappointing.

Totally agree they should aim for third quarter or longer to get a great product rather than rushing things
22. pokharkarsaga (Posts: 404; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
One day we are definitely going to get smartphones with 6 inch with 2560*1440 resolution..

SLCD looks better
26. rudlie (Posts: 205; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
later, samsung will send 1080p in 5.5". super amoled screen can not be above 350ppi
38. AbhiD (Posts: 73; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
it would be better if you die for a 5 inch 1080p IPS screen with OptiContrast panel+PixelEyes+WhiteMagic+MobileBraviaEngine2+pure RGB matrix, which would feature in upcoming Sony ODIN/YUGA.
i humbly request you not to die for a fake and oversaturated screen as it's not worth ur life...!!!

No samsung is probably going to use OLED screen soon...
58. doejon (Posts: 403; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
yep and i love amoled cuz natural colors i see all day long lol
43. phljcnth (Posts: 496; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
It's all about preferences. Some may prefer the vivid ones over the more natural-looking displays, and vice versa.
44. phljcnth (Posts: 496; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I just hope they fix the screen burn-in issues of AMOLEDs. Mine's already showing little disparities of blue subpixels in just three months.

Lmaooo wowwwwwww man really!???
50. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Agree, someone may prefere short lifespan, Burn-In effect, not natural colors, not clear and not sharp images... It's all about preferences... (sarcasm)
52. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
aww... you sound mad. believe it or not, most people don't edit photos professionally on their phone, and prefer the vivid colours.
53. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
No, not mad just sarcastic. :)
I agree that not all people care about natural colours, clear and sharp images on their phones but it still doesn't change the fact that not natural colours and not sharp images are more disadvantage than advantage or I'm wrong?
Also why would anyone should prefer display which has shorter life span and easily gets Burn-In effect? Should it be somehow useful for user? I don't think so! :)
56. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Some people prefer lower power comsumption, higher contrast, higher refresh rate, more saturated and more vivid colours. Although I've never experienced burn-in effect since I'm using AMOLED screen(N8, GSII now the GNOTE II), it is not much of an issue since most of us don't keep a phone for more than 2years.
59. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
shorter life span? I'm not gonna be using my phone for more than 1.5 years max, like most people. Burn-In effect? I have't seen that happen with any current gen SAMOLED HD
60. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
You'd die for that?
Your expectations are too low.
I'd have a heart attack for a 8K screen with all-day battery life in the same-size body
64. bipinm (Posts: 124; Member since: 07 Oct 2012)
This is Good news for Sony...When Yuga lauches there will be nothing to compete with in Display...
3. blackspot (Posts: 102; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)
A possible 5 inch screen on the Galaxy S4? I wonder what the screen size for the Galaxy S5 will be & if Samsung will keep going bigger.
9. Commentator (Posts: 3721; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
As long as the bezel shrinks at an equal rate I'm totally fine with that.
14. Mr_Hyde (Posts: 20; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
4.8 inches is my stopping point. Above that I have problems with the ergonomics of my phone.
4.3 - 4.5 inches is my minimum - Preferable sizes & best for my hands.
37. abdane (Posts: 494; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
5 inch is the maximum screen size i will have on a smartphone !
4. PermanentHiatus (Posts: 267; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
I'm keeping my S3. If production problem persists, looks like we have an S3s to look forward to smh.
5. dilse (Posts: 25; Member since: 24 Aug 2012)
Great products require great efforts....
7. refreak (Posts: 29; Member since: 18 Dec 2011)
samsung logic - human hands and there pockets get big each year, by 2015 human hands will be large enough to use samsung galaxy s6 7 inch and note 5 8 inches perfectly
11. groupsacc (Posts: 232; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
They are actually "training" us unconsciously with bigger screens. Have you ever tried using Galaxy S3 after using Galaxy Note? It feels small as hell! lol
If they keep on increasing screen sizes in conjunction with narrower bezels, it's all good I reckon.
16. dillonc (Posts: 6; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Samsung isn't trying to make a phone that is the perfect size for a human hand because for one, everyone's hands are different sizes no matter how much apple wants you to believe otherwise. And two, they are providing what the market demands, we aren't just using our phones for talk and text anymore. These things are mini supercomputers that require larger displays to enhance usability.
40. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
then by their logic we will be holding 15" phones or what ever by 2020 i find it funny that they still increasing the sizes although Koreans have small hands compared to their phones
41. Mr_Hyde (Posts: 20; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
Yeah, Samsung surely likes to test the waters.

Sounds like

band members
Tash - Vox/Rhythm Guitar, Kane - Bass, Josh - Lead Guitar, Tom - Drums
Living End, The Police, The Misfits
Sin City have arrived. With their debut album 'Hungry For Love', Sin City laid a foundation that saw them hailed as 'the new blood we need' (The Age) and 'one of the most exciting bands in years' (Faster & Louder). 12 tracks of blistering rock, the album was recorded at Sing Sing studios with ARIA winning producer Tony Cohen and released on boutique Melbourne label High Voltage Records. Having previously released the succesful EP 'Sweet Lies' and the singles 'Rest In Pieces, 'Love Bite' and 'Summer Love Song', the band sold 5000 units in pure DIY spirit. Now with 1000 copies sold of their debut album, Sin City are out of contract and those foundations are an un-stoppable juggernaut in the form of their new self titled EP. Sin City have been hand picked to support such luminaries as The Misfits, UK Subs, Guitar Wolf, DOA, Cosmic Psychos and Anti Nowhere League. They have also shared the stage with Jet, Sham 69, The Queers, Strung Out, Gyroscope and many more as well as playing numerous festivals including the Big Day Out. From raucous beginnings on the streets of Perth as WA legends 'Local Pricks', Sin City are now a fully fledged touring machine. Since relocating to Melbourne in April, 2004 the band have amassed a mammoth 500 shows and toured the country non-stop. This commitment to their music drips from the new recording like the sweat from their dynamite live shows. An unrellenting onslaught of passionate vocals, raw energy and hook laden songs, the only thing more intense than Sin City's music is their drive and now it's all been captured on disc. So don't just sit there...get it on your stereo and live it up in...SIN CITY.

NAGA PELANGI was built for her current owner by the craftsmen of Duyong Island which is located on the East coast of Peninsular Malaysia. She is built on the lines of a classic Malay junk of the Pinas-type, a "hybrid-junk" built there for centuries. In 5 years of meticulous work, the boat was handcrafted to become the last example of a bygone age. In her construction, traditional techniques were blended with modern materials such as Epoxy, Polysulfide caulking, Dacron ropes and sails etc.
The project was started in 2003 with the selection of the timber. Building commenced in 2004 when her keel was laid up and she was finally finished in 2010. She is built with 1 & 3/4 inch Chengal hard wood planks fastened with silicon bronze screws to the 3 and 4 inch sawn frames (Chengal). All through hull fasteners (bolt nuts) are silicon bronze as well. The deck was done with finest quarter sawn Burmese Teak.
'NAGA PELANGI is able to accommodate up to nine guests in one master stateroom with double and single berth, 3 double and one single cabin, all with en-suite heads/showers. She also has a crew quarters forward which will allow for three crew to stay onboard.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 70 reviews
My family and I spent three days at Vitor's. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The room was spacious and clean. Our only complaint was the TV. There were only a few channels and none were in English. I didn't go to sit in my room and watch TV so it wasn't a big deal for me but my son would have liked to have been able to watch TV. Other than that everything was great. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Although we had a great holiday and the staff were really helpful and friendly the hotel was a little too far out for us, requiring quite a few taxis which raised the cost of our holiday especially as we were a party of 12. The other disappointment was the general cleanliness of the whole place and the cleaning of our room as the floors were not washed down all the time we were there. We had marks on the balcony that were left by the previous occupants. There was however a mop and bucket provided and so i assume the expectation was you did it yourself!! Some of our party though didnt have any complaints in this area as the cleaning of their appartment was very good. My other observation was that the evening entertainment area was very dingy and underground with no natural light which did not encourage people to go there, which is a shame as Anna who served behind the bar was lovely. we did not see much of the entertainment and so cannot comment on this. The food in the hotel was okish, but not a lot of choice if you went for the breakfast and evenng buffet.
Great place to relax a bit out from centres but transport and taxi cheap enough
We had a very nice stay in Vitor's plaza. I would recomended to everyone. Specially families with kids. They should improve the restaurant only. It was quite expensive for what they serve. Not wondering why its epmty all the time.
The hotel is reasonably priced and thus it has a bit lower standards than a new hotel. But the rooms are spacious, and it is quiet. The hotel is best suited for anyone wanting a quiet getaway away.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

I'm off! Well, at around 3.30 am I will be. I am both very excited (sitting here with a silly grin on my face) and absolutely terrified.
I had to phone round all the various 'booked assistance' points yesterday and today to make sure everything was properly booked, apart from anything else I check in at 5am so it's not like I can phone a few hours before I leave. The airline were really polite and helpful, assuring me the wheelchair assistance is booked at both airports, but the part which really concerns me, the one where I was supposed to be met with a wheelchair at just after 4am at the official car park hasn't been booked. When I spoke to the guy I thought it seemed incredibly quick to to sort everything out, and now I know why..he didn't bother even trying to book any assistance, just told me he was. The girl I spoke to today from the car park bookings insisted they don't/won't arrange assistance and put me through to the concierges who told me they were very busy at that time of night (really?) and so couldn't possibly book any assistance, but if I phone when I get there, 'they'll see what they can do' Right now that isn't sounding much fun to me, and I know it'll be far worse when I'm on my own in the carpark in the middle of the night.
So, worries about getting stuck in a car park in the middle of the night aside, I'm off to try and get some sleep, tomorrow's going to be an amazing day, but a long and very tiring one. Back at the weekend!

$81.63 FREE Shipping
A huge man-geared vibe from Colt Gear!
Order over the phone: Call 1-800-918-6308 Product #: SE690303
Product Description
This over-sized, anal ready and aptly named Big Vibe will absolutely satisfy with its full coverage, ultra filling shape and extra powerful rotating vibration. Embedded under the surface of an ultra slick PVC shaft you'll see two vertical rows of metal beads that twist and twirl at multiple speeds as the extremely powerful vibration does its work- there's likely no other toy that can compare to the sensations the Big Vibe will deliver.
Shaped for safe, extra deep penetration with no worries about going too far, the head and long shaft are styled realistically, a large set of balls act as a barrier and base, and form a separation from the ridged handle that makes this vibe easy to hang onto and maneuver, even during solo use. A big remote changes up the intensity of both vibration and rotation- each function is controlled by it's own dial, letting you perfectly customize the amount of stimulation that suits your pleasure purpose. Use a good water or silicone based lube, and lots of it with this toy. Not recommended for use in water.

Omnibus Crime Bill: Tories Roll Out Massive Crime Legislation Touching On Drugs, Refugees, Parolees And Terrorism
OTTAWA - Sweeping changes to Canada's criminal-justice regime have been introduced in the House of Commons as part of an omnibus Conservative crime bill.
The Harper government said during the spring election it would bundle a series of proposed measures as part of its self-described "tough-on-crime" agenda.
It promised to pass the massive bill within 100 parliamentary sitting days.
The legislation tabled in the Commons includes nine bills incorporating changes to drug laws, youth sentencing, detention of refugees, parole and house arrest and anti-terrorism measures.
"Canadians want and deserve to feel safe in their homes and in their communities," Justice Minister Rob Nicholson declared in Brampton, Ont, at one of several news conferences constituting a full-press, public-relations effort to tout the politically popular reforms.
"They want a government that is committed to fighting crime and protecting Canadians so that their communities are safe places for people to live, raise their families and do business."
But critics say the measures are hugely costly and have been proven ineffective over three decades of increasingly draconian "tough-on-crime" campaigns in the United States.
A coalition of justice groups held a news conference as the bill went before Parliament, calling it costly and a threat to human rights in an already overcrowded prison system.
Catherine Latimer, executive director of the John Howard Society, said parts of the provincial and federal correctional systems are so stuffed they may already violate charter protections against cruel and unusual punishment.
The omnibus bill will only exacerbate the problems and could send correctional costs through the roof, she said.
"These costs will be borne by the provinces and by taxpayers across the country and we believe that those need to be fully assessed and disclosed," said Latimer.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government fell last spring in part due to a contempt-of-Parliament motion that sprang from the Conservative cabinet's refusal to detail the full cost of the changes.
The bill, known as the Safe Streets and Communities Act, includes the following measures:

"After years spent working to establish our innocence we are delighted with this decision of Department of Justice Prosecutors, recognizing that Air New Zealand conducts its business affairs in compliance with the law," John Blair, the carrier's general counsel, said in a statement. "This brings a closure not only for the airline but also, importantly, to a few individuals who have had to live for more than five years under the threat of criminal penalties, despite the airline's confidence in their innocence."
The DOJ's move follows a long line of similar decisions by other organizations. In 2010, the Korean Fair Trade Commission found that Air New Zealand hadn't played a role in the country's price fixing saga. The European Commission, which fined 11 carriers $1.1 billion for allegedly fixing cargo prices, folded its case against Air New Zealand earlier this year.
In April, the New Zealand Commerce Commission dropped its case against six Air New Zealand executives, explaining that commissioners wanted to narrow their focus and concentrate on "airlines with large turnover in the New Zealand market." The commission is still investigating Air New Zealand and seven other carriers. A full trial is scheduled to begin next year.

DK swallowed, "What if you get killed out here?"

Crichton smirked faintly, "DK... it's okay. Not many people get to do that."
- The Good Commander, by MissAnnThropic
"I didn't want to talk about Tyr. Didn't want to talk about anything. Was going to kill Rhade. Was going to kill myself, after that. "He was intelligent," I began, finally. "Witty, protective, charming. He was strong, mentally and physically. He actually cared about what I had to say. He would have killed for me. Probably did. He inspired loyalty. At least…in me. But I'm screwed up like that. I need someone. Didn't, before, of course. But Tyr…well, I've been alone so long, with nobody to care and regulate and understand me and he did and I could actually accept that in a screwed up sort of way. It was more of a love/hate than anything. Nothing…mushy. If I were hurting he'd tell me to get over it because it was making me weak. So I did. It was as simple as that. He was so different at the end. But…he was disappointed in me. That was it, I think. If Tyr was disappointed in me, and Dylan wasn't, then I would go with Dylan's plans. It was that simple. I came this close to betraying the Andromeda. To going with him. But I didn't. 'Cause Tyr was disappointed in me, and I couldn't stand that so I tried to make him out as my enemy. Because, technically, he was. And that made sense. But it made sense when I was going to go with him, too.""

Another Funny Story
I had reached my pinnacle of intelligence; I was 17, had an old, 1942 Plymouth car, and a girl friend. One hot summer night my girlfriend, and I, and another couple went on a date to the movies. My girl friend, Gale, was suppose to be home by midnight, and it was after eleven when we left the theater. My buddy's girlfriend lived closer, so we dropped her off first. However, him and her spent so much time kissing goodnight on her porch, we were running late. Finally, Richard returned to the car and off we went.
Because of the lateness of the hour I began taking shortcuts. One of the shortcuts was a dirt road around Frenchy's Lake. Sometime before we arrived at the lake, a grader had leveled the service road by-passing the lake area, leaving a foot high berm of dirt at the entrance to the road I was heading for. I my rush, I hit this berm at about 30 miles and hour, we all hit our heads on the ceiling, but worst of all the headlights went out. This didn't cause any immediate alarm, because the lights on this old car went off and on quite often. What did cause panic however, was the whoosh of water as I drove into the lake.
Frenchy's was a shallow lake. When I got stopped the water was just up past the bottom of the door. I paniced, and threw the car into reverse, and it died. There we sat, twenty feet out in the water. Richard and I were both in suits, and Gale was in a very nice dress, with high heels and nylons. Richard doffed his shoes, and rolled up his pants and climbed out of the car. With his shoes in his hands he sloshed to dry land.
I removed my shoes, and rolled up my pants. Gale, just sat in the front seat, her legs curled beneath her and calmly told me I was going to have to carry her. As God is my witness, I tried. She took off her shoes, and I wrangled myself into position and lifted her out of the car. I was no more than a step away from the car when she dropped one of her shoes. She squealed that she had to have that shoe. I squatted down, with her in my arms, her arms around my neck, and groped in the water for her shoe. Suddenly her butt hit the water and she yelped and jerked, and down we went. We were both sitting in the lake laughing like fools. Richard waded back to in to help us; when he offered a hand to Gale she pulled him into the water. There we sat, the three of us, all dressed up and sitting in mud.
That very well may have been my last date with Gale.

A town of massive importance to recent wizarding history and yet unknown to most modern wizards, Little Hangleton is found about six miles from its neighbor, Great Hangleton, and is the location of the Riddle House, where Tom Marvolo Riddle killed his father, Tom Riddle, and his grandparents in the summer of 1943 (HBP10). It is also the location of the graveyard where Voldemort regained his body in 1995 (GF32).
Nearby, in a copse on the hillside, was the Gaunt House, wherein lived the Gaunt family, the last remaining descendants of Salazar Slytherin (HBP10).
Locations in Little Hangleton:
- churchyard
- the Gaunt House
- graveyard
- the Hanged Man
- the Riddle House
Known inhabitants of Little Hangleton fifty years ago (c. 1940):
- Bryce, Frank – the Riddles' gardener
- Cecilia (Tom Riddle's female companion on a summer afternoon).
- Dot
- Gaunt, Marvolo & children Morfin & Merope
- Riddle, Mr., Mrs., & son Tom (father of Voldemort)
- landlord of the Hanged Man
- the Riddles' cook
- the Riddles' maid
There is an actual place called Hangleton, in a place called Hove, near Brighton on the East Sussex coast. It's located far too near to Privet Drive to be the "real" Hangleton, however (thanks to Greg McAusland on the Lexicon Forum for this information).

Can I pay with a card at your office?
Yes, you can! :)
You hate policies? We do too! So let's get it out of the way.
When you cancel your dive at the last moment, you don't only reduce the income we use to feed our staff and ourselves, you also take away the seat of someone else who could have dived that day. That would not be fair for anyone - and since we're sure you're all for fairness, we've drafted this fair and square deposit and cancellation policy.
• If you cancel your dive • 1 - Before the day of your program:
- Up till 1 month ahead, deposits are fully-refundable
- Up till 2 weeks ahead, deposits are 50%-refundable
- After 2 weeks ahead, deposits are non-refundable
- Up till 1 week ahead, booking dates can be altered
- After 1 week ahead, deposits are non-refundable and booking dates cannot be altered.
2 - On the day of your program, because you're unwell or seasick, and can not complete a dive:
You can either:
- Get a refund of 500 INR per missed dive.
- Reschedule your dive for another time within 1 month for an additional 50% of the DSD program fees for DSDs, or 50% of the price of 1 day of Fun Diving for other programs.
3 - On the day of your DSD program, after the pool section, because of your inability to perform the necessary skills comfortably after committed efforts in the pool for at least one hour, then you will only be charged for the theory intro, the pool session, the certification, the booklet, hence getting a 2,500 INR discount on the full program charges.
• If we cancel your dive • 1 - Because of unforeseen circumstances (weather, logistical problem, etc.), you can either:
- Reschedule your dive at any available date of your convenience for free
- If applicable, dive our fresh water Quarry instead with a discount of 1500 INR on your program (not applicable for courses)
- Get a full refund for 1 day-programs (including DSDs), or a refund of 1 day of Fun Diving for multi-days courses.
2. Because you don't show up, are late (7am cut-off for the boat), drunk, hung-over, or other similar state deemed by our staff to be unsafe to dive:
- You lose your deposit, and owe Temple Adventures any unpaid funds as well, as you took away the seat for another paying customer.
You want to go diving with us? Of course you do! You're only one click away !

Perineal swelling was correlated with changes in vaginal cytology and serum ovarian hormone levels and with development of the ovarian follicle. The average length of 66 menstrual cycles as seen in 12 mature baboons was 35.7±.66 days with a range of 25 to 47 days. Laparoscopic observations and photographic documentation of follicular development were made as early as 13 days prior to ovulation with the most rapid follicular maturation occurring 24 to 48 hours before ovulation. In 38.5% of the cycles ovulation occurred on the last day of maximal perineal tumescence with 26.9% of the ovulations occurring one day after initial detumescence. In 17.8% ovulations occurred two to five days prior to detumescence while the remaining 17.8% occurred two to three days following first observed detumescence. The mean progesterone level during the follicular phase was significantly less than that in the luteal phase, 1.6 and 6.7 ng/ml respectively (p<0.01). The level of estrogen detected during the periods of maximal tumescence was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that detected in the remainder of the cycle, 19.8 and 5.9 pg/ml respectively. Vaginal smears were stained, observed microscopically, and found to correlate with perineal swelling, hormone levels, and laparoscopic observations.

Avril Lavigne Announces Separation From Nickelback's Chad Kroeger
Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and pop star Avril Lavigne have separated after two years of marriage.
Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and pop star Avril Lavigne have separated after two years of marriage.
Nickelback's summer tour plans have been called off after Chad Kroeger was diagnosed with a vocal cyst.
Nickelback has taken a lot of abuse through the years. From being referred to as the 'Dr. Suess of Rock' to people actually signing a petition to stop them from playing at Ford Field on Thanksgiving (it didn't work). I would say the band has developed thick skin. I hope so, because this video is pretty damn funny!
Canada's reigning power couple gave their country an unforgettable present for its 146th birthday: a new king and queen!
Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and pop starlet Avril Lavigne officially became man and wife on Monday (July 1), aka Canada Day, Us Weekly confirms...
Comedic hair metal heroes Steel Panther have the chops to steal the show wherever they decide to drop their equipment, but in one of the strangest pieces of news we've heard this year, Steel Panther have kinda been invited to wreak havoc on a celebrity wedding. That's right, Steel Panther are threatening to perform at the wedding of Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and pop princess Avril Lavigne.
A year that began with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger doing a simple co-write on a song with pop star Avril Lavigne is ending with the pair engaged and planning their wedding. Now, Kroeger says he's expecting a ceremony that will probably be anything but traditional.
Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger has not been married before, though he did get engaged once, so maybe the engagement chain of command was not immediately apparent. The vocalist revealed to Hello! Canada (via JAM! Music) that he told his parents about his engagement shortly after Avril Lavigne said yes.
We know what you want, Loudwire readers, and we're giving it to you: More glorious details regarding the rock 'n' roll love story of the year. You've read the news about Nickelback's Chad Kroeger getting engaged to Avril Lavigne, you've pored over all the best Twitter reactions, and you've loaded our wedding playlist into all of your portable music players. Now, we're bringing you the really good stuff — behind-the-scenes info from the happy couple themselves.
It's a match made in...well, Canada. What started as a shared love of hockey, bacon that's actually salty ham, and sappy ballads, has blossomed into something much more as Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has popped the question to pop-Sk8er chick Avril Lavigne.
A recent tweet from Avril Lavigne reveals that the pop singer is collaborating with fellow Canadian and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger on her new album.
Let's face the facts here people. Nickelback is here to stay. They already have a huge catalog of music and now you can hear all of their best songs, all at once. Check out the video and bear witness to the musical genius that is Nickelback.
Chad Kroeger has a whole bunch lady problems (aside from his girly-ass hair). He has been ordered by a judge to pay $25,000 a month to his ex-wife/ baby mama. What? That's not his baby mama? You got screwed homie.

It is massive and very impressive! We walked up into the old town and checked into our hostel. The lady on the front desk didn't speak a word of English but we got there eventually. Our room is so nice again! We've been so lucky so far. It was only ...

We went into the cathedral and I managed to get some photos and video before I found out we weren't allowed to. As it was almost 12 on a Sunday, the organ was played. It sounded so lovely, then the bells chimed in as well. The cathedral was built in the 16th century. ...

Once we had taken in the garden type area, we headed back toward the center of town. We spent the rest of the day hopping between cafes, sitting in the sun and enjoying the afternoon. By about 5, we decided to head back to the hotel. We had another long day of driving tomorrow toward Lisbon and we had spent a good portion of our day in Segovia.

The past week in music has, of course, been dominated by two subjects: Michael Jackson's death and the Glastonbury festival. Online, it's no different, with a wealth of content related to both. In fact, the two converge in a great YouTube video of the Streets' rousing Billie Jean cover at the festival (tinyurl.com/streetsmj). The Streets, though, are not among the 40 acts whose Glastonbury sets can be watched on the BBC's website at bbc.co.uk/glastonbury. But the Beeb is offering extended highlights of most of the weekend's best acts, including all three headliners: Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and the event's undisputed champions, Blur.
Previously, the BBC has been restricted to only showing sets for seven days after they happened, but this year they've bent the rule by making everything available until Monday, seven days after the festival ended, giving you the weekend to trawl through it all. Even once the big names disappear, you'll still be able to watch highlights from 24 new and unsigned acts who played the BBC Introducing stage (Speech Debelle's soulful hip-hop is a very good place to start). Or, if you'd prefer a fans' eye view of the festival, check out orange.co.uk/glastonbury, where Orange made the decidedly sensible decision to replace their terrible celebrity bloggers of past years with real-time pictures and videos from ordinary punters, dotted around the site. A vast improvement.
The tributes to Michael Jackson began to appear online within minutes of the singer being rushed to hospital, but one of the most poignant tracks was actually made beforehand. Last Thursday, a free album of Pet Shop Boys mash-ups, Bootrospective, appeared at mashup-industries.com. One of its songs combines Jackson's Bad with the Pet Shop Boys' Heart, to make Bad Heart. If the title weren't spooky enough, the track begins with the sound of sirens and a heart monitor. As its creator, CJR, wrote on mash-up site gybo.com, it's "quite possibly the most tragically ironic MJ mashup ever". It's also a very good one. And if that gets you in the mood for more unofficial Jackson remixes and bootlegs, soundcloud.com has 23 available to stream or download free from bit.ly/mjmixes (the Ratatat vs Jam one is a particular belter).
Elsewhere, at the ingenious billietweets.com, you can watch the video to Billie Jean, accompanied by each of the song's lyrics picked out in the latest public Twitter post to feature that word. But the most essential viewing is a wonderful video mix of Jackson's musical highlights by acclaimed audio/visual mash-up artists Eclectic Method at bit.ly/emmjvid. It's less than five minutes long, yet considerably more moving than several days of overexcited TV news coverage.

TravelPod Member ReviewsK+K Hotel Elisabeta Bucharest
Fantastic business-class hotel that provides the level of personal service expected from a small hotel or guesthouse. Rooms are huge with a separate sitting area and desk, and even a tablet for use during the stay. Breakfast was excellent both in variety and quality. Staff go out of their way to make you feel at home in Bucharest, volunteering information on local attractions without even being prompted. It was a nice surprise when, moments after arriving in our room, a knock came at the door and we were delivered a pack of welcome chocolates and a bottle of water. I can't say enough about this place, and would definitely look for other K+K hotels elsewhere in Europe - the value was fantastic for this level of hotel and service, especially when we obtained a very reasonable rate by pre-paying on the hotel's website.

By Jim Michaels, USA TODAY
KABUL Afghan President Hamid Karzai formally won a second five-year term Monday, but his opponent expressed concerns about the contentious election.
Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission declared Karzai the winner and canceled Saturday's runoff, one day after Abdullah Abdullah withdrew from the race, saying the system was corrupt.
President Obama said he spoke to Karzai to congratulate him on his victory and to call for a "new chapter" of better governance after the fraud-ridden election. Obama called the election process "messy" but said Karzai won in accordance with Afghan law.
"I emphasized that this has to be a point in time in which we begin to write a new chapter," Obama said in describing his phone call to the Afghan president. Obama said that when Karzai offered his assurances, Obama told him, "The proof is not going to be in words. It's going to be in deeds."
The White House has been waiting for a legitimate government to be in place before deciding whether to send more U.S. troops to fight a growing insurgency in Afghanistan.
Britain and the United Nations issued statements congratulating Karzai.
Afghanistan's government has been in political uncertainty since the election Aug. 20, which was marred by widespread fraud that inflated votes for Karzai.
The election commission ordered a runoff between Karzai and Abdullah, the top vote getters, after fraud investigators threw out nearly a third of Karzai's votes, dropping him below the 50% threshold needed to win outright.
As the political standoff grew more intense in recent weeks, Abdullah insisted on changes to the election commission, saying it is biased because the members are appointed by Karzai. Abdullah announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the runoff because the voting would be rigged against him.
In an interview Monday at his villa in Kabul, Abdullah said he would continue to promote the principles that he raised in his campaign for a stronger rule of law and more transparency in Afghanistan's government.
"This atmosphere of uncertainty here is not helpful at all," Abdullah said about the questions surrounding the election process.
Abdullah, a former foreign minister, appeared tired and his voice sounded weak during the interview, conducted before the election commission made its formal announcement.
Abdullah said he had met with Karzai a few days before withdrawing from the runoff and had narrowed his demands to a single request: the removal of the election commission chairman.
"I reduced those conditions to one single one," Abdullah said. "He refused."
A Karzai spokesman could not be reached for comment.
Abdullah suggested he might create a national party but said he no such immediate plans. "There aren't many nationally based political parties," he said. "This is one of the shortcomings in this system."
A spokesman said later that Abdullah would give a speech today with his reaction.
"We expected that this commission would announce something like this, because this commission has never been independent and has always supported President Karzai," Fazel Sancharaki said.
Election commission Chairman Azizullah Lodin said the commission had the authority to make its decision because the Afghan constitution allows for a runoff only between two candidates.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, "Now begin the hard conversations about ensuring credibility, ensuring and improving governance, addressing corruption. We are focused on what has to happen in order to have a credible partner."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, who was in Kabul on a surprise visit, welcomed the decision to forgo the runoff.
"This has been a difficult election process for Afghanistan, and lessons must be learned," he said. "Afghanistan now faces significant challenges, and the new president must move swiftly to form a government that is able to command the support of both the Afghan people and the international community."

"Weegee: Murder Is My Business"
Tabloid culture and film noir are both indebted to the photographs of Weegee (1899–1968), one of the medium's iconic names. Born Arthur Fellig in Austria, Weegee started out as a freelance press photographer on the Lower East Side, covering the police beat. But his knack for self-promotion and images of lurid crime scenes and other sensationalist subjects, usually taken at night with a flash, set him apart. His photos became part of New York City's mythic self-image, collected by institutions like the Museum of Modern Art and embraced by Hollywood. This show covers Weegee in his prime, during the crucial years 1935 to 1946, as Gotham emerged from the Great Depression and plunged into the Second World War.

He loved to watch Bones work. At any other time, her always-alert senses would have been immediately aware of his presence. But, focused as she was on the task in front of her, Booth knew he could lean quietly against the doorframe and observe unnoticed.
However purposeful the platform structure was—and Bones would undoubtedly argue that each and every part had a specific scientific rationale—in Booth's eyes the set-up seemed designed to intimidate, particularly at night. Furniture in the room was at a minimum and primarily utilitarian in function—chairs, computer desk, various large work surfaces, microscope stands, file cabinets, storage drawers and multiple monitors hanging overhead. An iPod docking station with speakers was a small concession to humanity. Tall steel columns, akin to construction girders, held up a vast ceiling otherwise unseen in the darkened room. Elevated as it was from the rest of the room and surrounded by metal railing, Sweets had once commented that the platform resembled the bridge of a starship. Bright white carbon lamps spotlighted the glass-surfaced, glowing table at the center of this 'ship,' with Bones at its helm, in her natural element.
As usual, she worked standing. Arms crossed, she scrutinized the thousands of bone fragments before her, clearly turning the pieces of the puzzle over in her agile mind.
Booth wondered, as always, what she read in the remains. What exactly did she see on that table? How could she tell the bridge of a nose from an eye socket, for example? In all those thousands of tiny fragments, how did she see far enough ahead to reconstruct a forehead, a jawline, a chin? In his mind there was no question that the bones spoke to her as clearly as people's emotions spoke to him.
When she finally responded, it was with purpose. She leaned forward to slide one tiny bone chip across the glass surface until it met with another seemingly identical splinter. Apparently disliking this new arrangement, she propped an elbow on the table and shifted the bones' position again. Then she rested her chin in her hand and resumed her scrutiny.
He could think of a thousand adjectives to describe her, but none suited her so well asthe first word that came to mind every time he caught her like this, completely unguarded. With her red hair pulled back in a loose bun that glinted copper and gold under the harsh lights, her full lips pursed in concentration and the wrinkle of a curious frown creasing her forehead, she was stubborn, endearing, committed and brilliant. But, above all, as she patiently called forth the facial structure which a murderer had sought to erase from living memory, Booth's partner was beautiful.
Occasionally, she smiled as she worked and Booth felt privileged to witness this unusually tender side of the pragmatic scientist. Her long fingers skillfully manipulated minute shards into place until, apparently satisfied, she finally sank down into the chair and reached for the ubiquitous bottle of Elmer's.
Knowing that she was planning on pulling an all-nighter, Booth had stopped in at the lab intending to drag her to dinner first. His own stomach growled rebelliously as he realized that plan was thoroughly shot. He was not a patient man, but seeing the person's identity emerging beneath her fingertips and the satisfaction she derived from her work was enough to keep him glued to the door all night long.
As she finally affixed the last pieces of the skull, he slipped away momentarily.
A cup of coffee materialized at her elbow just as she was about to nod off completely. Brennan turned her head sleepily where it lay pillowed on her arms and raised an eyebrow at her partner.
"When did you get here?" She wrapped her hands around the cup, relishing the warmth as it seeped into her tired body.
"A little while ago." Booth rested a hand on her shoulder lightly and eyed the skull on the table. "Nice work. You must have been at it all night."
She sat up, hunching her shoulders to ease some of the kinks. "I still have to put in the tissue markers. We haven't located the remains of the body, but zygomatic structure and mandible dimensions, along with the nasal arch and occipital measurements suggest an African-American male, likely in his twenties."
Booth smiled. "You gave him a face, Bones."
She frowned and stifled a yawn. "No, that's Angela's job. I just recreated the underlying facial architecture so that she could input—"
"You gave him a face," he cut in quietly, oddly intense. "Angela can't work her magic if you don't work yours first." He held up a hand as she started to argue. "Let's go get some pie and then you can go home to bed for a few hours at least."
"What is it about you and pie?" she muttered. "Didn't you have dinner already? Why are you still wearing work clothes?"
"I had a late night, too, and I didn't get to eat." He pulled out her chair. "Besides, pie's good anytime, Bones. Day or night. C'mon."
He supported her arm as she rose tiredly and they made their way toward the platform stairs.
