Indiana County officials eye comprehensive plan
INDIANA -- A long overdue update of Indiana County's comprehensive plan is nearing completion.
The Indiana County Planning Commission was expected yesterday to review a final draft of the plan, titled "Where We Live... A Comprehensive Plan for Indiana County, Pennsylvania," and to consider recommending official adoption of the document by the county commissioners.
"It's been years in the process of development," county commissioners Chairman Rod Ruddock said of the plan at Wednesday's regular meeting of the commissioners.
Intended as a guide for ongoing growth, conservation and preservation efforts in the county and its municipalities, the comprehensive plan will replace an outdated version originally adopted in the 1960s. Ruddock noted that the plans will never truly be finished: "It's a living document that municipalities will use to set the expectations for future planning. It's a very important part of
Indiana County."
Following release of the final draft by the planning commission, the public will have 45 days to look over the updated comprehensive plan and to submit comments to county officials.
Three public meetings to solicit input on the plan have tentatively been set for 7 p.m. according to the following schedule: July 11, at the Marion Center Community Center; July 17 at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex in Indiana; and July 26 at the Blairsville Community Center.
Ruddock indicated arrangements also would be made to accept written comments on the plan via e-mail or fax.
Hard copies of the comprehensive plan are to be provided for public review at libraries in Indiana County -- including Blairsville Public Library, the Burrell Township Library, the Homer-Center Public Library, the Indiana Free Library, the Saltsburg Free Library and Stapleton Library at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
The county commissioners are tentatively scheduled to hold an Aug. 22 public hearing on the comprehensive plan prior to considering formal adoption of the document on Sept. 12.
The county office of planning and development was charged with developing the new comprehensive plan with oversight provided by the planning commission, the county commissioners and a broad-based, 40-member steering committee.
In accordance with requirements of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, the county comprehensive plan touches on such issues as land use, housing needs, water, utilities and protection of natural and historic resources.
Among the specific development objectives the plan sets forth are: promoting economic growth; retaining youth; revitalizing downtowns; preserving neighborhood schools and farmland; and improving mobility and housing choices.
County planning officials point out that the comprehensive plan, unlike an ordinance, has no regulatory authority. But it is meant to "identify strategies for maintaining and enhancing our unique sense of place and our quality of life by establishing policies and land use guidelines to help local governments ensure the orderly development of land, encouraging development that balances growth with Indiana County's rural character...."
At their Wednesday meeting, the county commissioners approved a change order related to construction of the new, extended runway at the Indiana County Jimmy Stewart Airport.
The change order provides an additional $1,109,333.18 to contractor Aarcon Enterprises for completion of a parallel taxiway to serve the new runway.
Ron Anderson, chairman of the county airport authority, explained the contractor will extend the airport's original runway in order to create the taxiway. He said a base has been laid down for the taxiway and additional layers of paving material should be applied beginning in the next few weeks. "It's moving right along," he said of the project.
Half of the additional cost is being drawn from $1.5 million in state funding that has been offered for the runway project, to be leveraged with local matching funds. The authority will cover the match of $554,666.59 for the taxiway with a loan authorized last month by the county commissioners.
The county is looking to cover part of that loan with about $400,000 it expects to have left over from a $1.6 million grant for airport business park improvements. The commissioners are hoping restored federal funds for airport improvements will pay for the remaining local cost.
A change order also was approved for improvements on Indiana's Philadelphia Street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, which are part of the Downtown Indiana Revitalization Project. Dave Morrow of the county planning office explained contractor M and B Services will be paid an additional $9,479.43 due to higher costs involved in milling and paving the street during nighttime hours. Morrow said PennDOT required the nighttime work when issuing a highway occupancy permit for the project.
The extra cost will be covered by Indiana Borough's project contingency funds.
The commissioners appointed the Indiana County Community Action Program to continue as the lead agency operating a state food purchase program on behalf of the county in 2012-13.
ICCAP Director Michelle Faught explained her agency uses the county's annual allocation from the state Department of Agriculture to purchase food for its central food bank. That food is then distributed monthly to families in need through 19 pantries ICCAP operates across the county with the assistance of local volunteers.
Faught said the state program provided $98,853 last year that helped ICCAP distribute food to 3,600 individuals each month. Through a separate supplemental commodity program, she added, ICCAP supplies 441 boxes of food to eligible recipients who are age 60 or older.
Commissioner Dave Frick expressed concern that so many local citizens may have come to rely on the free food distribution, but he added that he's glad the county has the means to provide the service.
"There are people here in Indiana County who need those services more than most people know," Commissioner Patricia Evanko noted.
Ruddock said sustaining programs such as the food pantries gets "tougher every day" as the county finds itself subject to ever-tightening funding limitations. But, he expressed thanks for local organizations that have pitched in to help -- like the annual drive spearheaded by Indiana University of Pennsylvania's culinary department. This year the drive generated $3,600 plus donations of food for the ICCAP program.
Faught said ICCAP also has developed a working relationship with area grocers, who freeze perishable food just before it is set to expire and then provide if for use by the food bank. She said ICCAP also works with area farmers to obtain fresh produce to ensure food recipients have healthy meal choices.
"Dollars are getting more scarce," she said. So, "We're trying to stretch the limited resources."
She noted the food ICCAP provides likewise helps recipients who are on fixed incomes stretch their limited budgets.
The commissioners approved contracts with private providers of various services to the county's Children and Youth Services Department. The services -- including placement programs for juveniles, counseling, evaluations and provision of court testimony -- are used by the department on an as-needed basis.
CYS official Tina Semon noted that rates charged for most of the services have remained unchanged from previous years.
Neuropsychiatric Associates Inc. of Indiana increased it rates for counseling and court appearances by 3 percent while Great Expectations Day Care of Blairsville dropped its child care and preschool rates slightly.
Indiana native Rachel Zilinskas, who is competing in swimming events this week at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Omaha, Neb., was recognized by the commissioners for her achievements in the sport.
Though she now resides near Philadelphia, accompanied by her mother, Ruddock noted Zilinskas is "still a member of the Indiana community as far as I'm concerned."
The swimmer got a big hometown sendoff for her trip to the trials, when supporters signed a large card last week at the county courthouse to convey wishes for her success. The effort was organized by Ruddock and Indiana Area High School student Haley Stapleton.
At the commissioners' meeting, Anthony Frazier, a member of the county's information management team, screened a related video he produced, titled "Rachel Zilinskas Living The Dream." It can be viewed on the county website at www.countyofindiana.org.
The courthouse will be closed Wednesday in observance of the Independence Day holiday.
The commissioners next will meet at 10:30 a.m. July 11.

Short History of the Lord of the Miracles
Benito, a slave and resident of the Pachacamilla ranch in Magdalena, Lima, dedicated himself to treating the victims of a yellow fever epidemic that struck the city. He himself survived the plague and was freed by his master. Upon gaining his freedom, Benito began painting a fresco showing the cruicified Christ. As he painted, he was said to have received visions and hear celestial music. Upon completing the work, Benito died. His incorrupt body was found a few days later.
After the discovery of Benito's incorrupt body the mural acquired a miraculous reputation. Public veneration of the image grew and prompted the authorities to order the image erased. The first workman to attempt this was thrown to the ground as he began his work. The second workman suffered a sudden paralysis of his arms. The authorities rescinded their order and the image was transferred to a chapel. Later, as workers attempted to move the image to an altar, the sides of the mural, containing the images of the Virgin and Mary Magdalene, were damaged, but the image of Our Lord remained intact. In light of these astonishing events, the image began to be referred to as the Lord of the Miracles.
On November 13, 1655, an earthquake struck Lima, levelling several churches. The district of Pachacamilla was also affected. In spite of the great devastation, the sacred image remained intact.
On October 20, 1687 a tidal wave destroyed much of Callao and an earthquake struck neighboring Lima, destroying the chapel where the image was kept. Only the altar and the image survived. That day the people elevated a canvas with a copy of the sacred image and made the first procession through the streets of Pachacamilla.
On October 28, 1746 Lima shook again, damaging the chapel. Nonetheless, the miraculous image came out unscathed. The procession that year was the largest ever up that that time, and the cult of the Lord of the Miracles expanded to include residents of Lima of all races and social levels. The crowd proceded through to Barrios Altos and other far corners of the city.
The Viceroy Amat y Juniet ordered the construction of a new temple to house the image. It was inaugurated in on January 20, 1776.
One of the Nazarene nuns charged with the care of the image received the design of the familiar purple habit in a vision. The habit was initially for the use of the nuns only but came to be adapted by devotees of the Lord of the Miracles for purposes of the three-day procession.
La Brotherhood was constituted in 1878. Today there are about 2,500 registered bearers organized into 20 squads. Each squad covers about 300 yards of the procession.
Each squad has a captain and lieutenant. After coming into formation the squad awaits three signals given by the captain before beginning their turn. First of all the captain alerts the 24 men in the squad by shouting "¡Gente!". When he says "¡Armen!", the bearers kneel to take up the litter in their shoulders. Finally the captain rings a silver bell and in that moment all bearers lift the litter simultaneously and the procession is resumed again.In addition to the bearers there are: sahumadoras who carry large censers ahead of the procession, musicians and singers, a cerero who attends to candles placed on the litter, a mixturero who tends flowers on the litter, and of course vendors offering all manner of refreshments and religious articles
The cult of the Lord of the Miracles has a national character. There is an alter with the effigy of the Lord of the Miracles in every town in Peru, and those who participate in the annual procession include visitors from the provinces. In the U.S. there are ten officially recognized Brotherhoods who organize processions in places such as New York and Washington, D.C.
Josefa Marmanillo, known as Doña Pepa, was a slave from the Cañete. valley (about 2 hours from Lima). Because of an acute paralysis that prevented her from working, she was released by her owner. Motivated by stories of miracles conceded to the faithful, she decided to go to Lima to take part in the procession in the year 1800. On the first day of the procession, she miraculously recovered the use of her arms and hands. In return, she decided to do something that would increase the devotion of the people. That night, in a dream, she saw the preparation of the now famous confection. The next day she entered the procession carrying her new creation. The turrón is made from fruit syrup, egg yolk, shortening, wheat, anise, and hard candy, and is sold in Lima throughout the year with the greatest sales in October.

I cannot tell you why, but I pray less often than I used to. I believe it started when I became a mom. And…that makes not a bit of sense. You would think that as worry increased when I became a mom, my prayers would and should increase.
I find that the less I pray, the more trouble I have figuring out what to pray. I had forgotten about two simple, yet beautiful prayers that I can bring back into my day and start to say with the girls.
Check out Bread for Beggars for both the Morning and Evening Prayer. {Look around the site too. It's a great resource.}
I still often say short snippets of prayer during the day, but I hate to admit that my prayer life is not what it should be. My main time of prayer used to be when going to bed at night. I now typically fall asleep so quickly that I don't get very far.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. – Philippians 4:6
I know that we are called to pray and I know this is an area I need to improve on. I'm so thankful for God's grace in my shortcomings in prayer!
Are you familiar with the ACTS model for prayer?
He is almighty, all-knowing, all-powerful. He loves us, protects us, guides us. Praise Him for who He is and what He has done. Praise God.
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. – Psalm 63:4
Admit wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. – 1 John 1:9
Thank God for the many blessings He has given us.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. – 1 Chronicles 16:34
Ask God for the needs of others and of ourselves. Call upon Him.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. – Philippians 4:6
I created a simple ACTS prayer printable to help me get back on track. It's simple because I don't think there needs to be a great deal of action on my part. I'm not going to create a set of rules for myself to follow. I just want a place to be able to jot down a few thoughts throughout the day as I think of them.
Print: Prayer ACTS Printable
I want to have the words in front of me:
I am heavy on the supplication. It's easy for me to do a fair amount of asking in prayer.
We have an amazing God, I need to remember to adore Him.
I sin often. I need to remember to confess and ask my Lord for forgiveness.
He blesses my family and I with SO MUCH. I need to remember to thank Him.
How is your prayer life going? Does it come easy for you? Or do you have times when you struggle?

I have never heard of ACTS but it is a really simple yet focused way to pray! I think every Christian at some point struggles to pray consistently. I know it is an area I feel like I always need work in.
I have a method I used called daily prayer topics. I pick a topic for each day and pray through it. I put the list on my phone and then I always have it handy. If you want to read more about it I wrote a short post. I think your method is great too though and I think it is neat to see all the different kinds of ways people have structured their prayer life.
I JUST started a prayer journal Saturday & I'm going to use the ACTS Prayer printable! This will help so much stay on track when praying. I also realized I'd been praying less & I got the idea for a prayer journal :) Thanks for sharing! Love this
This is such a great reminder. I think most of us tend to focus on supplication during our prayer time. It seems like there is always a never ending list of needs that I'm praying for both for myself & others. ACTS helps us take the focus off ourselves & our needs and puts it back on God. :)
my bible study was just talking about prayer last night–the discussion circulated around how sometimes it feels like all we should pray is "let your will be done," but that prophets in the OT and Jesus in the NT are so specific, boldly approaching his throne. i love the printable; it's such a good reminder! so glad you posted this on the Oak and Oat's linkup!
I love the ACTS model for prayer! It really keeps me focused, instead of just saying a quick prayer here and there all day long. I feel like I'm really in a conversation with God when I use the ACTS model. Thanks for the reminder! — Lisa | Two Martinis
Yes, yes, yes~ I love this! So glad you shared it!
My church has been going through a series on prayer and this post has really helped me narrow things down to an understandable "format," so to speak. Thanks for sharing this (: Visiting from http://www.andieconn.com/5-ways-creative-despite-depression/ and would love a visit back!
Praise God for the privilege of coming boldly before His throne 24/7! Thank you for this excellent guide on how to pray. May we spend more time on our knees worshiping Him!
Linked up with you at Titus 2 Tuesday — hope you'll stop by for a visit!
Beautiful post inspiring us to use the ACTS prayer & thank you for the printable on the T2T linkup. so generous! Have a great day!
It's very true, even as people who write it's crazy to think how we get prayer block. I love the idea of a morning and evening prayer for your house to memorize, and the Martin Luther examples are so simple. Thanks for this post, have a great Tuesday!
I just wrote about ACTS a few weeks ago! (http://www.sweetlittleonesblog.com/2015/01/thoughts-on-prayer.html and http://www.sweetlittleonesblog.com/2015/02/monthly-resolution-prayer-life.html if you'd like to read my thoughts :) It's a great one to remember! Thanks for sharing this with us for Tuesday Talk! -Jess
Perfect! I am the same way… I used to pray so much! Lately with waking earlier to spend time with God, I have been trying to get back into a regular prayer life. I really want to follow through when I tell someone I'll be praying. Not just say the words! Loving this printable- pinning and sharing!
I think it can be very easy to focus mostly on the supplication part because when we need something we go to God in prayer…but we don't always remember to just simply thank Him.
I have had some sporadic really good prayer times where I praised, where I listened and where I asked… even since becoming a momma. But I really would like to make it a daily habit. Which would require my discipline. (wince). This was a great reminder! Thank you for the visual of ACTS! I'm glad we are neighbors over at Meredith's Woman to Woman today!
Thank you for sharing the acts model of prayer – it is really helpful! I struggle with praying too! Keep looking to the Lord in all things! Joining you from #raralinkup!
I'm so glad that you posted this in Wine'd down Wednesday. Tending to pray all throughout the day, it's important to have a precious time of prayer focusing on Him. Your ACTS model is perfect to keep that focus. Sincerely, beautiful post. Thank you.
It's nice to know I'm not alone in feeling the need to pray more deliberately. Like you, I pray in snippets throughout the day, but my focused prayer time is lacking. Thank you for the reminder!
I love this model — and I love your graphics for it — so cute. Ages ago (like 20 years…) my mom gave me a book called The ACTS of Joanna. It was a fiction book about a gal who learned how to let go of her need to depend on her affluent life or even close friends and family and as her life fell apart and she learned to depend on God, she learned the ACTS model as a prayer and lifestyle. It really helped me in my young mom years when my brain was foggy and my life seemed overrun by hormones and diapers. It gave me a bit of structure as I approached God because I felt like I was sending up help me prayers all the time.
Thank you for sharing this encouraging post. I've struggled with prayer too since having kids (actually, it's always been a struggle for me as I find it difficult to quiet my mind), but anyway, you're right…it's totally counter-intuitive to pray less after having kids. I don't think I've ever needed prayer more than now!
Thanks for linking up to the Ladies Collective Linkup! Hope to see you again next Wednesday http://www.bestofbabylady.com
Great post! I actually posted on the ACTS prayer this week, too, as part of a Lenten series on prayer. This one has some other ideas that might help you incorporate more prayer throughout your day too: http://www.kathrynshirey.com/prayer-prompts-combat-daily-frustrations/
Amen and Amen! I feel like I miss adoration more than anything. I skip right into confession, thanksgiving or supplication when adoration changes everything! Starting with a right view of God makes everything else look different. Thanks for your great words!
This is perfect! The Lord has been leading me back to His thrown in prayer and reading. What a joy it has been.
There's a huge correlation between feeling centered and praying (for me). I definitely use prayer whenever I am feeling like I'm losing my grip on sanity. Thanks for linking this up to the #ShineBlogHop!
Great post. I have a hard time finding time to pray each morning and need to get back into it. My days are always a lot easier.
AH yes, this is exactly what I need right now! Thanks!!
Thanks for linking up to Awesome Life Friday!
I actually have set timers on my cell phone and added notes into my planner for prayer. With 5 kids, I need reminded! I'm so thankful our God is a grace giving God! Thank you for sharing at Women With Intention Wednesdays! I look forward to what you will be sharing this week!

The Cincinnati Bengals had been playing an entire season with "house money." Picked by most to be the AFC North doormats and by some to be the worst team in the NFL, they played a season of inspired football led by a promising young nucleus of players on both sides of the ball. Somehow, they had overcome a major roster overhaul and parleyed their success into a playoff berth.
On Saturday in Houston, the "house" called in their markers. As it has been all season, the Bengals didn't take full advantage of their first half opportunities, and after Houston did, jumping out to halftime advantage, the Bengals were forced to play catch up. They couldn't do it and dropped the third playoff game in as many tries under Marvin Lewis, 31-10.
As has been their wont when winning the coin toss, the Bengals deferred and allowed the Texans to take the ball first on offense. Houston appeared a bit jittery in their first playoff possession. Arian Foster nearly fumbled his first carry, then committed a false start. TJ Yates then overthrew a wide open Owen Daniels on third down, forcing the Texans to punt.
On the Bengals first possession, Andy Dalton hit AJ Green on his first pass, but he too missed Cedric Benson high coming out of the backfield and the Bengals had to punt as well.
After backing the Texans up to their own 12, TJ Yates completed his first pass of the game for 21 yards to Andre Johnson. That was it for the Texans' offense though as the Bengals defense shut them down from there.
The Bengals then connected on the game's first big play. Off of play action, AJ Green had Glover Quin beaten deep. Quin had no choice but to interfere and save a touchdown, but it gave the Bengals a first down at the Texans' 21 yard line. Then on third down, Dalton hit Brian Leonard on a well-designed screen pass for 16 yards down to the one yard line. Cedric Benson slammed in over the left side on first down and the Bengals had the early 7-0 lead.
The Texans responded with Arian Foster taking advantage of the Bengals lack of backside pursuit, busting off a big run across midfield. Then Yates found Owen Daniels over the middle for 21 yards. Reggie Nelson was flagged for a questionable personal foul which added 15 yards onto the play and put the Texans in the red zone. Arian Foster capped off the drive with an eight yard scamper around the left end and the game was tied at seven.
The Bengals offense kept its composure, driving the ball into Houston territory as the first quarter expired. Andy Dalton hardly looked the part of the inexperienced rookie making a road playoff start, completing seven of nine for 59 yards in the first frame.
Dalton continued his surgical precision on the first play of the second quarter, finding AJ Green on a square in for 21 yards down to the Houston 25. Dalton took a costly sack on third down however, losing nine yards and forcing Mike Nugent to attempt a field goal from 50 yards that narrowly missed wide right.
After holding Houston to a three and out, the Bengals' offense went back to work. Andy Dalton was patient in the pocket and found TE Donald Lee who broke a tackle and rumbled for a 36 yard gain. A Houston personal foul tacked on 15 more and the Bengals were in the red zone again. The drive bogged down though at the Texans 19 and Mike Nugent was on again. This time he split the uprights from 37 yards away and the Bengals led 10-7.
Houston put together a much-needed drive of their own next behind the patient running of Arian Foster. TJ Yates converted a key third and long, hitting Andre Johnson on a deep out moving the ball to the Bengals 26. Kelly Jennings broke up a pass in the end zone intended for Andre Johnson and Houston settled for a 39 yard field goal from Neil Rackers which tied the game at 10. During the drive, however, head coach Marvin Lewis burned his second replay challenge, leaving the Bengals without any for the rest of the game.
It also meant that the Bengals only had one timeout left when they took over with under two minutes left in the first half. Andy Dalton made a nice scramble to pick up a first down, but on the next play, fellow rookie JJ Watt went to bat down a Dalton pass and ended up intercepting it in the process. Watt broke free from Mike McGlynn and rumbled 29 yards for a Houston touchdown, putting them up 17-10. This would be the turning point in the game.
While being dominant for the first 23 minutes of the first half, the Bengals had only 10 points in three red zone possessions, a season-long problem for the team. Despite controlling the clock, the turnover for the touchdown combined with the missed opportunities yielded a seven point half-time deficit.
Andy Dalton was sharp in the first half. Even the interception couldn't really be pinned on him. The Bengals moved the football. The defense, for the most part, was able to get the Houston offense off the field. If there was to be a comeback, the Bengals would have to convert their opportunities in the second half while keeping Arian Foster in check.
They weren't given many second half opportunities and Arian Foster continued rolling up the yards in the second half.
The Bengals opened the second half with the football, but were unable to get anywhere. The Houston crowd, buoyed by the first half finish, made it difficult for the Dalton to hear the play calls, even in his helmet headset.
Houston, meanwhile, was in Bengals territory in short order with a pair of nice Arian Foster runs. Once again, the backside containment from the Bengals broke down allowing Foster to get free. The Bengals held though when Reggie Nelson came free on a safety blitz and sacked Yates, forcing a Texans' punt.
After the Bengals were forced to turn it back, Houston put together a back-breaking drive. Arian Foster picked up chunks of yardage both on the ground and as a receiver. Chris Crocker had a terrible drive, misdiagnosing a screen pass, dropping a possible pick-six, whiffing on a sack on a safety blitz and then not getting over in time after Adam Jones had been beaten by Andre Johnson. The last mistake resulted in a 40 yard touchdown pass from Yates to Johnson, putting the Texans up 24-10.
The Bengals got to midfield on the next drive, but Dalton was sacked for the fifth time, putting them in a long down and distance. Dalton was again pressured on fourth down and was intercepted on a prayer by Johnathan Joseph. Dalton would be picked a third time by Danieal Manning trying to force one in to AJ Green.
Arian Foster would add insult to injury by rumbling 42 yards for another Houston touchdown on the ensuing Texans possession. Chris Crocker tried to shoulder him out of bounds, but Foster just tossed him aside and finished the touchdown run.
Cincinnati put together one final drive, but Andy Dalton's fourth down pass to AJ Green in the end zone was batted down.
Despite the attention paid to the two rookie quarterbacks, it came down to the running game. Cedric Benson was a non-factor, gaining only 14 yards on seven carries. Arian Foster, meanwhile, was a monster, picking up 153 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns.
So ends an improbable season for the Cincinnati Bengals. They began the season as the prohibitive favorites to get the first pick in the NFL draft. They finished as one of 12 teams to qualify for the NFL Playoffs.
The Bengals may have enjoyed playing with the "house money" this season, with low or no expectations. That won't be the case next season.
Stay with Bengals 101 all during the off season for all the news and analysis as they prepare to get back to the playoffs and beyond.

Belard - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkDo we get to see a full review of the Motorola Atrix HD? Would like to know how the battery performance and other factors compare to the Samsung GS3 and the HTC One X.
As well as how it performs in these tests above. Reply

KoolAidMan1 - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkNot much to say in the face of reality Reply
cknobman - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - link? What are you talking about?
In reality the SG3 I just purchased has a pretty decent graphics chip in it and overall outperforms the iPhone equivalent.
I know the iPhone is about to be replaced and will likely return to the top but I dont care I am still happy with my purchase and the performance of the phone. Reply
robinthakur - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkAnd what do you use your top graphics performance in your SGS3 for? Which games take advantage of it? I sold mine and went back to an iPhone 4S after it became obvious that the great chipset (international) only exists to inflate benchmarks and accelerate Android to a level not quite the smoothness of iOS. Where are the Infinity Blades, and all the other Apps which could take advantage of it and why aren't developers interested in making use of these powerful chips on Android? Reply
LetsGo - Thursday, August 02, 2012 - linkInfinity Blade? The game has good graphics but is poor on gameplay, Give me GTA III or Shadow Gun any day.
IOS hardware plays good for Graphical Benchmarks, However when it comes to games CPU power is just as important for AI, physics and graphic setup. Reply
darkcrayon - Sunday, August 05, 2012 - linkWhich games use are optimized for 4 CPUcores and perform better than 2? Seriously interested to know because it's not obvious (if it even exists out there at the moment). On the other hand the GPU performance pretty much scales just by putting "more" in the box. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkApple hater here, won't buy another iProduct since Apple is still an arrogant bully.
Also, I stop playing games with my iPhone 3gs and SGS2, after realizing mobile games are just plain boring(rehash of the same games over and over and over again). I did game about 2+ years with 3gs and SGS2.
Apple products can never do usb-plugin-file-transfer. Who needs iTunes when you can drag and drop. Worst pain-point with 3gs, got a lot of dead brain cells trying to make iTunes work with 3gs :(
3gs went into my collection chest, iPad 2 just went to gf after I got my Nexus 7. Wish someone can take my 13" 2011 MBA.
I tried to give it to my brother for free, but failed. He preferred a HP 15" Envy that can actually do games, lol. Reply

UltraTech79 - Wednesday, August 08, 2012 - linkSounds more like user error than hardware error. Maybe get a clue? Reply
TrackSmart - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkIt would also be great to see an update addressing the Verizon versions of the Galaxy SIII (i.e. how battery life shakes out between the various models). I remember mention of this some weeks back, but never saw it appear. Probably not high on the list, since the hardware is so similar to the other models.
As usual, thanks for the hard work! Reply
Belard - Friday, August 03, 2012 - linkGreat... I am pretty much SOLD on it. Both my business partner and my own Galaxy Captivate are 2 years old. Mine has slowing showing touch-screen issues and lock ups, GPS was always crap on GS1. But his suddenly died yesterday!
They only had a single Red SGS3 in stock and the HTC One. I think the newer Samsung and the home button is what sold him.
I had the chance to play with a dummy Atrix HD, in terms of weight and feel... and that *IS* important to me. I don't use covers on my phones or iPad. Also, Apple is pissing me off with being a patent troll over the rectangle and BS on prior art.
Anyho, I almost went with the HTC-One X (like the LED light), but the button arrangement and concerns with its coating rubbing off pretty much nixed it. The SGS3... is such a fingerprint magnet... why go with the cheap plastic cover? It took seconds to make the nice red-back look "dirty". Oh, it comes with a cleaning cloth - oh wow. He put a cover on it anyway.
Since all phones are now HUGE, the AtixHD is slightly the smaller of the bunch. While the back of the phone is plain flat. The feel of the phone is excellent. Its not TOO thin on the sides... and *I* did like the feel of the various textures as well. Battery is not removable has me concerned (resetting the phone), as I'm used to pulling out the battery... I like the curvature of the phone and that in my pocket, I know its orientation. Unlike most Samsungs.
From the ratings on at&t, people are saying the battery is a bit weak (like all smart phones) but I would expect and hope its a lot better than my Captivate!
On your reviewers, older Motorola phones seem to have better battery life than my captivate - which in all honesty, I never really liked. It was "the best" at the time. Also, some raters said the speaker (speaker phone mode) is very loud.
So, unless the phone blows chunks... I'm 95% sure it will be my next purchase. The Home button on the SGS3 is a selling point to me... but I don't seem to want that phone. Know what I mean? Reply
codedivine - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkWell the older benchmark also had a "Pro" part. Does the new version only have a Egypt HD? Reply
Brian Klug - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkThe new version has Egypt HD and Egypt Classic, Pro is now retired basically.

Any chance of putting in Apple A4 and Adreno 220 results, tablet and/or smartphone, as reference points? Those devices would be coming up to the 2 year upgrade cycle that most people likely follow so it'd be useful to see how things have progressed. Reply
H.A.L. 9000 - Wednesday, August 08, 2012 - linkLOL. A4 would run this at probably LESS than 1FPS. SGX535 and an 800MHz Cortex A8... Adreno 220, maybe. Reply

vision33r - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkEveryone on this site hates Apple but look who came out on top in the most important performance category.
Yet, people keep touting how much better the Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets are and here we are the iPad 2 and iPad 3 is just beasting these benchmarks.
I don't really game on Android anyways, lack of high quality games. Only thing worth playing are emulators and most of the good games are iOS ports. Reply
Pipperox - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkWell that's true in the tablet division, but not in the smartphone.
The triangle / fill rate tests are meaningless, they do not represent any actual workload that will ever appear in any game or application.
In the Egypt tests, the Galaxy SIII comes out on top, although the iPhone 4S performs pretty well. Reply
robinthakur - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkYet the iphone has infinitely better looking games and the interface is smoother (versus the sometimes smooth, sometimes choppy SGS3 especially when you start to use its internal storage. Unless you buy your devices to run benchmarks on them exclusively, then Apple wins here. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkMy retired Motorola Razor flip phone is smoother than iPhone 4s, does it make it a better phone than iPhone 4s?
Yes, I purposely comparing a "dumb" phone against the "smart" phone. I'll pick the flip phone over iPhone any day, that's how much I'm against Apple. Sad...

UltraTech79 - Wednesday, August 08, 2012 - linkYour Razor has a shit old UI. The UI in iOS and Droids is a modern one. So nice try there, troll. Reply
vision33r - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkThe Int. SGS3 is fast but the downfall is the OS. There are hardly any worthy games on Android which is why I picked the SGS3 USDM since Android is CPU + memory hungry.
iOS is clearly made for avg folks but there are just too many good games and apps that Android will always be behind.
Android phone + iPad 3 is the best combo right now. Reply
c4v3man - Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - linkandroid phone + Nexus 7 + Xbox360 or PS3 > Android Phone + iPad3 for games when it comes to a ~$700 outlay.
Besides, there's plenty of fine games on Android, which play even better with a PS3 controller. On-Screen controls for graphically demanding games typically suck. Games that play best with touchscreen controls are typically not graphically demanding. Reply
tipoo - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - link"most important performance category" isn't objective. Some would say CPU performance is more important. Reply
Mike1111 - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - link"The pressure is on for Apple to deliver something between the A5 and A5X in the next generation iPhone this fall."
Well, Apple just needs to clock the 32nm A5 in the iPhone 50% higher (to 1.2GHz, just 20% higher then the A5 in the newer iPad 2) to be consistently on top again. But 100% (to 1.6GHz) would be better. Too bad the really big jump in performance will probably have to wait until 2013 with a dual/quad-core big.LITTLE and Rogue. Reply
ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - link50% clock speed bump may be good enough against current SoC at the time of launch, but with Adreno 320, Tegra 3+ T37, Wayne, and Mali-T604 around the corner, Apple's going to need to do better than that to hold the GPU performance crown into 2013. Reply
dagamer34 - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkA 50% jump in CPU and GPU performance is no slouch, remember that the iPad 3 had zero improvements to the CPU and because of the Retina display, the 543MP4 just barely keeps up with the 2048x1536 resolution increase in anything that heavily relies on the GPU. Reply
lilmoe - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkbig.LITTLE will come with more of an advantage to Samsung's Exynos than any other SoC ATM. The sole reason being that Exynos 5 (and beyond) is probably the only (announced) chip equipped with the Mali-t604 (and t658) GPU. Other than the advanced GPU features and the unified shaders, ARM's Midgard architecture was developed and fully optimized for load balancing, FPU offloading, and interconnect coherency, some of the major architectural selling points of big.LITTLE (other than the obvious load balancing of low power (cortex a7) and high performance (cortex a15) CPUs).
PowerVR's offerings are great, but they're just not as compatible. Reply
DracoNB - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkAnyone else notice some strange stuff going on with the offscreen vs "native" resolutions in the tests?
For example:
"new" iPad @ 2048x1536 gets 1857 and offscreen at a lower 1080p (almost 50% less pixels) gets a LOWER score of 1784?
How does that work unless its not really running @ 2048x1536 but is being upscaled?
The Nexus 7 has a similar issue, where it gets a better score when going offscreen to a higher resolution. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkGreat catch.
I wouldn't be surprise an unethical company such as Apple doing unethical stuff. Reply
darkcrayon - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkEven though he said the Nexus 7 had the same "problem"?

Cavalcade - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkIrregardless, it's always nice to have more data, but I'm still left wondering why most of the current benchmarks are given such weight. They don't necessarily reflect actual performance in common applications, and the systems are often different enough to make direct comparison a bit confusing. Reply
sarge78 - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkWhy are they much higher on the GLBenchmark results website? Which one is reporting it wrong, the website or client?
(The One S also gets the some results as the US One X, the fill test etc must've been performed in a lower power state or something) Reply
mshdk - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkI find it weird that nvidia produces Tegra 3 with lover fix performance than the apple chips considering nvidia primarily producing gfx cards. Reply

Doesn't Samsung pretty much reserve the Exynos exclusively for (some of) their own tablets and phones? Reply
UpSpin - Thursday, August 02, 2012 - linkThe Meizu MX uses an Exynos. I think Samsung will gladly license their SoCs to others, but currently the others prefer Krait, OMAP, Tegra, ... Probably because Samsung doesn't promote their Exynos and does not support it as good for third parties as the others do with their SoCs. Reply
UltraTech79 - Wednesday, August 08, 2012 - linkYeah so sad, unless you're not full of yourself and buy the product that is best regardless of your weak bs brand loyalties. Reply
Draiko - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkCould there be a nasty performance hit due to Android?
Here's what I'm seeing:
Based on specs, clockspeeds, and resolution differences, the Apple A5 (SGX543MP2) in the iPad 2 should be posting ~2.5x-3x better performance vs the OMAP4430's SGX540 GPU in the Xyboard.
The A5 seems to be posting 4x-5x performance over the OMAP4430.
There are very few differences between the SGX540 and SGX543 on paper... the 543 supporting OpenGL 2.1 vs 2.0 for example but it doesn't seem like those differences would explain the actual performance differences we're seeing here.
Am I missing something or could this suggest that the hardware isn't really showing its' true colors on Android? Reply
UpSpin - Thursday, August 02, 2012 - linkThe SGX543MP2 is three times faster than the SGX540.
Now you can change the clock speed to further improve things. And then there's the thing with the memory. The wider the memory bandwidth the faster the GPU (see performance boost in asus infinity due to the faster RAM). I don't know the numbers, but I it's likely that the A5 has more memory bandwidth.
And finally it's the software. I don't think it's right to say: 'performance hit due to Android', because they use a native programming language to code the benchmarks on Android, so no VM overhead. It's more how they optimize it for the specific operating system. Because the source code is unknown they can do whatever they want, they don't have to stay fair or invest the same amount of energy in optimizing the app for the Tegra 3 or Omap processor as they did for the Apple SoCs. Such benchmarks, especially if they get run on totally different and incompatible operating systems are always difficult to compare. Additionally do different GPUs feature different special features, which enhance the image quality. But how can you compare those incompatible features with other SoCs which use different techniques? So those benchmarks only test the raw processing power, games might still look worse on a faste GPU due to the lack of those special features (see comparisons between Tegra 3 and iOS versions of games, the same games for Tegra 3 have water effects, smoke, ..., while the other versions don't) Reply
mevensen - Friday, August 03, 2012 - linkCan't that be said about most Android software vs iOS software as well? iOS provides a mouch more limited set of configurations that need to be addressed by developers for optimal performance. Android developers have to account for much wider variety, decreasing the likelihood that any one product will be optimized (possible exception being those products under the Tegra banner, that receive special attention/support by nVidia). This means that the synthetic benchmarks actually mimic the marketplace in that iOS software is more likely to be optimized vs an Android counterpart.. Reply
shaolin95 - Friday, August 03, 2012 - linkMy International Note overlocking the GPU to 400mhz gets 51fps on that last Egypt test offscreen.

First reviewed 29/11/2013
The Kobo Arc 10HD is a 10.1-inch Android tablet for readers, specifically ones who are ready to give up 800-page paperbacks taking up bag space. Promising access to over 3.5 million books, the biggest of the Kobo Aura tablets boasts some impressive specs including a full HD screen and meaty Nvidia Tegra 4 CPU. Don't be fooled though, this isn't an e-reader it is a tablet so you won't get the awesome battery life that devices made for reading books have, like the Kobo Glo.
Priced at £299.99, the 16GB version of the Kobo Arc 10HD is a cheaper 10-inch tablet alternative to the Nexus 10 (£319), Xperia Tablet Z (£379) and the 9.7-inch iPad Air (£399). It sounds like a promising package, then, but does it really have the quality to upset the big names and take on the likes of the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9?
SEE ALSO: Get some some help with our tablet buyer's guide
When it's becoming increasingly difficult to make a tablet that looks and feels different from all the others out there, the Aura 10HD does its best to stay away from simply being branded another boring black slab. The slim black bezel leaves plenty of screen estate to read ebooks on and around the back it has a strikingly similar angular design to the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7.
There's a red sliding switch up in the top right hand corner to turn the tablet on and off with the volume rocker (and page turner) located in close proximity. Over on the left side is the 3.55mm headphone jack, micro USB charging port and micro HDMI port to connect to a HDTV. The front-facing camera sits up top above the screen and around the back are the two stereo speakers that are easily avoided when you need to hold the tablet in two hands.
The Arc HD 10 at 9mm thick is not as slender as the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition (7.9mm) or the Nexus 10 (8.9mm). Weighing in at 627g it's beastly fella as well. That's heavier than the Nexus 10 (603g) and the new Note 10.1 (540g) and it really shows once you get your hands on it. There's really sharp corners at the bottom of the tablet and make it extremely uncomfortable and difficult to use for long periods, too, so bad we had to put it down after a short period of use. This, combined with the great heft is a serious problem for the 10HD.
The Arc 10HD features a 10.1-inch 2,560 x 1,600 HD display with a 300 ppi pixel density matching the Nexus 10 and surpassing the vibrant 1,920 x 1,200 LCD resolution screen on the Xperia Tablet Z. On paper, it makes for good reading but there's a few that let it down from being a really top notch screen.
For starters, the screen is a little on the dull side. Even at maximum brightness it lacks the luminosity of screens like the Nexus 10 and even small tablets like the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 and Nexus 7. It's does manage to deliver sharp, detailed images for video, but colours look oversaturated. It's a bit like someone taking a really good picture and unnecessarily tampering with the saturation afterwards.
Viewing angles are decent enough but the colour issues are even more noticeable, if you are not looking at the screen straight on.
One area we can't really fault the screen is responsiveness. The 10-point multitouch, capacitive display registers swipes, presses and gestures excellently. It's just a shame about some of the other niggles the screen suffers from.
There's very little to get excited about in the sound department, either. The two rear mounted stereo speakers are exceptionally loud for a tablet but as the case with most, it's crackly at higher volumes and can't really match the richness and the directional sound produced by the stereo speakers found on the Kindle Fire HDX 7 tablet.

It's working well for us, though it's only been a week.
Anyone else have their children's toys stored in a way they need help/supervision to get to them? Good idea or bad?

for family fun, homeschooling, books, simple living, and 6 fabulous children, including twin toddlers
They (mostly the almost 2yo) still gets into no no's of course but....
~Katie~ married to J, mom to DD- A 13 yrs ,DS- L 7yrs , and my little nursling DD2- R 5yrs.
My son can get to all of his toys. But he chooses to play with things he is not supposed to play with anyway!
I personally think it's a better idea to have your child be able to reach the toys. However, with a linen closet, she'll be able to open and get into that within a matter of months or at most a year or so, so if you're both happy with it, it sounds like that will work just fine until then.
I really like the china hutch idea. I may have to peek at my great-grandma's china hutch to see if it would work for that purpose. She is always telling me I can have it anytime and I always say I don't have room, but I'm always thinking I don't have room to store fancy dishes in it. Maybe I will have room to store toys and other stuff in it in our new place...hmm...
Mommy to an exuberant 3 yo and a new one!
Craft supplies are controlled substances here.
I don't see anything wrong with the system, we just don't like having enough toys to make it worth while.
All other toys are at her level.
I do a bit of toy rotation as well, so at any given point she's got toys in a closet as well.
My inclination would be to clear a few shelves in your living room for her toys and rotate the toys at a rate that works for you guys. What having her toys at her level has done for dd is also let her put the toys away herself.
fancy books are the nice picture books that we read to him. he has other books (card board books, used books, etc) that i allow hiim to read on his own, without supervision.
there are rules with the uke (no standing on it, no dragging it, no banging it against the wall, etc). so, if it looks like music is digressing into somethig that would damage the instrument, then i just put it up. we have a ritual for putting it to 'sleep' and it's out of his reach. now, we don't use the "no" aspect of the rules. it is literally, if this is happening, then it's time for the uke to go to bed.
otherwise, all of his toys, books, and other instruments are within his reach on the bottom two shelves in our living room. a drum and basket of instruments, a basket of soft toys, a box with wooden trains, blocks, and his books.
Other toys are either in their room, or our "junk room". Everything is accessible as long as the floor is clear. If they've been dumping bins onto the floor and the stuff has not been picked up, then the toy shelves are not very accessible.
This is only an issue in the junk room; their bedroom gets picked up every evening.
Toys that I get fed up with - usually those that have lots of little pieces - I often will put away for awhile, up out of sight and reach.

business merger means discounts for a limited time.
I also keep most games and puzzles out of reach, though they can see them they have to ask. If loosing a piece would result in the thing being unusable then I prefer them to ask for it and we put one away before getting out the next.
Other than that DD (nearly 6) can reach most of her stuff. DS can see his but a lot of his shelves are too high for him to get it himself. Again I kind of like that he can only empty so much onto his floor.
When they were smaller they had a basket of books which I didn't mid too much if they got ripped. Now they are able to turn pages carefully they have most of their books in reach. CDs we copy and let them have the copies, we've had enough broken discs not to want to give them the originals.
I;m always slightly torn about how much access they should have. I love it when they use the wooden blocks to build tunnels for the trains or set up shop but at the same time they are easily overwhelmed by clearing it away at the end of the day so for now we still have some limits.
DD is almost 4. She has an art drawer in the kitchen with a school box of washable markers, a school box of colored pencils, and a box of crayons. There are also coloring books, blank paper, and notebooks, and pens. The more messy art stuff is in the big art tote.
Puzzles are in the closet--she can reach them but she has to ask for help getting the door open. We have to get one out, then pick it up before getting out another or she'll lose all the pieces!
We keep her wooden castle with Schleich people in the living room because she plays with it all the time!
She has way too many toys and refuses to get rid of any. I'm getting ready to put even more of them into totes so that we can get out one tote everyday or something like that. I think she'll appreciate the toys more and her room will be look less like a walk-in-closet that's been hit by a tornado.
Wouldn't it be fun to make up a rubbermaid tote for every few days? Each one could have a couple different puzzles, a game, some coloring and craft stuff, and a couple toys...

Helpful Hints
Site Photometric PlansFor versions of LEED prior to version 3/2009, a site photometric plan is not a required submittal for Sustainable Sites credit 8: Light Pollution Reduction but it is often difficult for reviewers to determine compliance with the LEED credit using the required detailed narrative. If your project has outdoor lighting and is pursuing SSc8,including a site photometric plan in your submittal increases chances of achieving credit compliance.

text: In my Audi i have the RNS-E navigation MK3 LED 2012 G Part number: 8P0 035 193 G installed I can control most of the sub menus from the MFSW but what is really annoying when I select the 'TEL' menu from the RNSE I cannot move around the sub menu sections e.g. scroll up and down the call lists with control on the steering wheel, I have to use the knob on the stereo to do this. But this works perfectly well when i am in the RADIO or MEDIA menus I can successfully control the sub menus e.g select radio stations and tracks via the steering wheel controls. I'm a tad confused why this would be deactivated in the TEL menu. Anyone else find this a real annoyance or is it a case of programming the system?

Played "Criticize" on this weeks radio show: http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/548 (Also featured on BIS Best of 2010 show) - Tim Sweeney / Beats In Space "Love the buildup on Criticize, plenty of dips and enough feel good in there for me. I'll be playing this one!" - Jacques Renault / DFA "Absolute BOMB, huge tip on this remix/edit of former SOS Band member Alexander O Neal's classic- droppin very soon on the might of Kojak Giant Sounds! It rips the cheese out of the original and tuns it into a nasty house jam, if this remix was done back then it would have been a house classic. Amazing flourishes added on top with dubby synths and old school perc keep it fitting the 87′ vibe. Maxxi Soundsystem have been around for 10 years rocking dancefloors around their home town of Brighton; re-editing at least half the tracks they play and are only now releasing their own material! watch out!" - feelmybicep.com "Criticize" is a killer...don't have words to say how much I love it. - Nicholas / No More Hits "Lead track Criticize is an absolute corker. The more astute of you may have realised that its a edit of the monster Alexander O'Neal club jam of the same name, but dragged kicking and screaming up in to a 21st century disco, complete with a throbbing 80s power bassline, housey keys and punctuated by those trademark soulful vocals. We're so into this it hurts." - Contort Yourself "Brighton's Maxxi Soundystem ensemble drop their debut 12" on Kojak, Finland's finest. We were sent this a few weeks ago and it didn't quite fit in the bunch of moody midtempo sets we were doing for a few blogs etc, so I almost forgot about this release. It's quite a departure from the usual fare we cover on these pages, as we're dealing with peaktime disco fodder here, drawing heavily on cheeky 90s tunes (think wailing diva, electronic tom drums and euro synths). As bad as that might sound, Maxxi Soundsystems' deep and heavy rub of Alexander O'Neal's Critize works a real treat. While the original track is a genuine slice of late 80s cheeze (check out the original video here, it's awesome in a very twisted way) the rerub is a cool piece of modern boogie. The flip is cool too, but it's all about this track for me. Excellent record by one the coolest and most forward thinking labels around." - Sleazy Beats Recordings "Love both tracks. "His Hat Was His Home" has been a favourite in my sets of late." - Damon Martin / Disco Bloodbath "Yeah - I rocked this at Bar25 over the summer, it went down well!" - The Runners / Dirt Crew Recordings & Welt Recordings "Loving the Alexander O'neil cover version.... defo done it justice. Great stuff, will support also really feelin the Papa Was A Rolling Stone joint too - great release!" Keep em coming and keep me posted. RSPKT" - Tristan da Cunha / 2020 Recordings "A serious refix... Just works so well!" - Nathan 'Detroit' Thursting / Southern Fried Records) "DOPE SHIT!!!!! Criticize is the tune for me. 100% playing that tune in my show and on every dancefloor." - Shaddy / Soul Industries "Keep on churning out good releases & I'll keep on playing them!" - Leftside Wobble "His Hat.." takes Papa Was A Rolling Stone and aims it straight at the dancefloor.

Once GTA V is released and we learn the name of this bridge, the page can be renamed to that and filled with info.
VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 16:42, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
- This article should definitely be renamed either Elysian Fields Freeway Bridge or simply Elysian Fields Bridge since although it doesn't have an official name this title describes it perfectly and is in-universe rather than the current title which is the name of the real life bridge. --MOB-4-Life (talk) 22:01, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

I wonder if he ever threw Zaca overboard in shark infested waters?

Bes Mudi's the cat, Zaca's the yacht. By the way, on the Robin Hood collector's edition DVD there's a short subject made in the forties or fifties called The Cruise of the Zaca about Errol's adventures around the world on a Zaca science expedition. Funny thing is, it's supposed to be one continuous expedition yet his wife changes in the middle of it. Can't remember if it's Lili to Nora or Nora to Patrice but no mention is made of it in the short.

The Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy, where America's greatest entrepreneurs gather to brainstorm solutions to the world's problems, got an unexpected treat[1] last night: a duet between Warren Buffett and Jon Bon Jovi.
Bon Jovi took the lead on vocals (surprise, surprise), while Buffett played the ukulele — an instrument he picked up 60 years ago to court girls, he told Reuters. The two performed "The Glory of Love," popularized by Bette Midler.
Both celebrities are used to making headlines for charity, but not quite like this.
Buffett, primarily known as one of the world's greatest investors and the head of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B[2], BRK.A[3]), also is one of the greatest philanthropists of our time, as he has pledged to give away 99% of his fortune to charity.
Bon Jovi generally is more associated with music than money, though he previously was part-owner of Philadelphia's Arena League Football team, the Soul. However, he also has ranked as one of Forbes' most charitable celebrities[4] for his JBJ Soul Foundation and recently opened a community restaurant, the Soul Kitchen.
Each star also gave some inspirational words at the summit, but something tells me the song stole the spotlight.
