on this page http://www.philipdusel.com/work.html
if you click on the text link that says "download original" or "full size" it of course goes to a page showing the full size image. However upon returning to the page, by hitting the browser's back history button, you will see that the scroll bar for the thumbnails has disappeared.
I can only test in Safari and Firefox....so as far as i know this is solely a safari issue.??
nevermind the problem is in firefox as well
i can not determine a consistent reason for this happening in firefox...seems sporatic
Hm, not sure what you mean by "the scroll bar for the thumbnails disappears", but nothing disappears for me in FF or Safari when I do what you described.
i click the "download original" or "full size" text to the bottom right of the main image....
it goes to big image page....
i go back one page where i started everything is great....except now the scrollbar is gone....
this happens to me only in safari
i am using flexcroll.js for the scroll bar and gallerific.js for the gallery
you might have to try a couple of times to replicate this.....it does not seem to be consistant
....i just tried again after posting and it didnt disappear, then i tried again and it did.
this is weird
O, that scroll bar. When I first visited the site (FF and Safari), there was no scroll bar anyhow, hence my confusion. Anyhow, now that the scroll bar appears for me, it is kind of broken anyhow. I would suggest just using the normal browser scroll bar—that is, with a height set on the UL and overflow: auto. Much simpler and more reliable.
im sorry for that i screwed up the height while you were looking at the page.i appreciate your suggestion... and i will definately consider it...but that doesnt stop me wondering why it disappears
you were able to replicate the disappearing scroll behaviour now that you have seen the page as i intended?
Hm, the page looks a bit messed up now. Things have moved around, and the view enlargement button is gone. But there is no scroll bar to the right at all.
so i did it again....you went to look at the page and i had changed it! im sorry for that. I thought you had seen the behavior i was talking about
I figured out something...not much but something....and perhaps its a css issue
so in safari after the scroll has disappeared (i hope you can recreate the behaviour i was talking about above) all that it takes to make the scrollbar reappear is a resizing of the browser window.....poof the scrollbar is back.....
my uneducated guess is something needs a specified dimension to prevent the disappearing. I tried fiddling with this but got no progress. but that is all i can think of for now.
Trust me this time when you view the page it will be as intended....i will not mess with it
I actually managed to keep the scrollbar from disappearing by changing the UL id from "thumbs noscript" to just "thumbs"

I lost my beautiful horse on the 5th January 2011. Her name is Beauty and she was 32 years old and she has been my best friend for 22 years. She lightened my every day and was always by my side, I would get up every morning excited to see her (even after 22 years), Hurry home from school then eventually from work every day to ride her or just take her for a walk somewhere fun and as she got older I just enjoyed spending time with her. We had many adventures together and she was well known and much loved in my hometown. People always ask how she is when I run into them in the street, I am always so proud of my Beauty as she has always been a fighter, so I could stand for hours bragging. Now I try to avoid people as the pain is unbearable. I feel so alone without her.I spend my days not knowing what to do with myself. The day it happened was the worst day of my life and has been ever since. Beauty was on the ground when I got there and she couldn't get up, she did try and try, the vet came and gave her pain killers so she could stand. then after a couple hours the vet discovered a large tumor inside her intestine, I knew by the look on the vets face that it was bad. That night I stayed with her and shared my pizza with her (she enjoyed stealing my food). The next morning she was down again in pain so I called the vet and made the most difficult decision in my life. She was put to sleep. I couldnt stand and watch, and I hope she forgives me for that, I feel as though I let her down but I couldnt bare for her to be in anymore pain. She deserved more then that. Beauty was my only friend all through my teenage years and into my adult years and I miss her so much. She would always wait for me at the paddock gate and neigh when she saw me. She would get cranky at me if I was late or if I rode another horse. She would try and trip me over when I'd give her worming paste, She would always make me laugh. There is so much I could say about beauty but would need alot more space so I will leave it there. She is my Beauty and she is dearly missed by me, my daughter and her paddock friends Brandy and Noddy.

Christi Thomas must have felt like she was living a nightmare.
Conditioning drills have a way of doing that to freshmen, particularly 6-foot-5 freshman centers.
But on this day Thomas was a prisoner of a timed, full-court conditioning drill. She didn't finish before the required time on her first try or her second try.
You could tell Thomas was beginning to wonder how she was going to get herself out of this predicament.
Bent over at the hip, hands tugging at her shorts, Thomas prepared for another attempt. Then she received a few helpful words of advice from senior teammate Kiesha Brown.
Brown's words weren't loud enough for any of her teammates to hear, but you could sense the message Brown was whispering in Thomas' ear: ''Pick your head up and dig deeper. You can do this. C'mon, push yourself.''
Brown knows what it is like to face what look like insurmountable obstacles and overcome them. She has also received her share of words of encouragement from her teammates.
Now, as a senior, Brown is the one who is there for her teammates when they need it.
''That's part of being a team player and having 14 sisters on the team,'' Brown said. ''You want them to know that you have their back no matter what. Everyone is going to hit a wall, either together or at different stages. She hit it yesterday (Tuesday). It might be the first one, it might be the last. I was just trying to let her know she wasn't alone and that we have all hit it before. You just grow from there and go.''
Brown speaks from experience because she has encountered more than a few setbacks in her career at the University of Georgia -- and she is still standing.
Impressive resume
Kiesha Brown knows about success.
The 5-foot-11 guard was a two-time Miss Georgia Basketball after leading Woodward Academy to 31-0 title seasons in 1995 and 1996 and final rankings of No. 18 and No. 4, respectively, in USA Today.
The accolades don't end there. Brown was the 1996 Naismith and WBCA National Prep Player of the Year. She was also named first-team All-America by Parade, Nike and USA Today.
Needless to say Brown was highly recruited coming out of high school, and Georgia fans were ecstatic when Coach Andy Landers secured her services.
And Brown didn't disappoint at the start of her freshman season in 1996. It took Brown three games for Brown to earn a spot in the starting lineup against Virginia. In the Lady Bulldogs' next game against Tennessee, Brown played 15 minutes in the second half and all five minutes in overtime. She even hit both ends of a one-and-one with 1:39 remaining as Georgia went on to beat the No. 4 Lady Volunteers 94-93.
Brown then did herself one better at No. 19 Wisconsin. She logged 31 minutes, including the entire second half, and scored 10 points, handed out five assists and hit two more free throws late to lift Georgia to a 74-67 victory.
But just when you think you have things figured out, life has a way of kicking you in the butt.
Brown tore the ACL in her left knee on Dec. 20 against Toledo in the semifinals of the Northern Lights Invitational in Anchorage, Alaska.
After an off-season of rehabilitation, Brown looked to be ready to return for her redshirt sophomore season in 1997-98, that is until she re-injured her left knee in a pick-up game. The injury damaged articular cartilage, which cushions the bones above and below the knee, and was repaired in surgery Sept. 18.
So instead of being on the court, Brown was forced to sit and watch and wait again. She made the best of her time, though, when she returned for the Jan. 14 game against Tennessee as she became a guest analyst for Georgia women's basketball radio broadcasts. Brown's broadcasting role marked the second consecutive season she spent the better part of a season behind the microphone rather than breaking down opposing defenses.
Brown's role as a reporter became official on Jan. 20 when she announced she would forego the 1997-98 season.
"It has been some of everything," Brown said. "It has been an emotional roller coaster. It has been a physical roller coaster, but I have learned a lot outside those black lines. That is something that no one can take away from me.
Playing basketball at the University of Georgia is a dream some people never get to attain. I have attained that dream of playing on a D-I level team that is a powerhouse in women's basketball. There have been walls along the way, but that is when you know you have matured when you get through those walls and when you see those walls again you know what to do to climb over them."
But injuries have only been part of what Brown has had to overcome at Georgia.
You hear the discussion all the time in the NFL when the starting quarterback gets injured: Who will be the starter when the No. 1 quarterback is healthy?
Brown had to be thinking just that during the 1997-98 season as she watched freshman Kelly Miller emerge as the Lady Bulldogs' starting point guard. A 74-72 loss to George Washington in the first round of the NCAA Tournament capped Georgia's season at 17-11. The 17 victories were the program's fewest since 1993-94, but Kelly and her sister, Coco, had solidified their place in the Lady Bulldogs' future.
So where was Brown, two seasons from being the team's point guard, supposed to play? The situation could have become a dilemma for Brown, Landers and the Lady Bulldogs. But instead of worrying about playing time, Brown realized she had to accept her role.
"That is something that I had to adjust to that was big for me, and just becoming a team player," Brown said. "When you get to college everybody can play ball. There is no one superstar on the team. There are just changes that you have to deal with, and it is a part of life. You just have to get through that and you learn from it and you grow and you grow."
Brown averaged 5.8 points and 3.0 rebounds per game in 1998-99. But after such an impressive start to her career you had to figure what ifs were racing through her mind ... what if she hadn't been hurt? ... what if she had gotten a chance to show off the game that had made her the Naismith Prep Player of the Year?
But Brown said she never let those nagging questions bother her and she said she doesn't think about them today.
"God slowed me down and he showed me there is another way to do things," Brown said. "You have to listen to Him, so you have to be patient within yourself. Your time will come. It probably wouldn't have been two years ago when I came back. It may not have been last year. It may be this year. It may never be. We'll never know."
Throughout all the setbacks, Brown said she has learned to be patient and her journey has made her stronger as a player and as a person.
"I have a lot more confidence than I probably had in three years," Brown said. "That is probably based on time, on me maturing."
Sometimes you have to do a little searching to find the good in a bad situation.
But if you talk to Brown it becomes apparent very quickly that that isn't the case with her because of her personality. She is an engaging player to talk to and she isn't afraid to be honest.
She will tell you she used to think being a good basketball player was based on talent alone. Yet she will tell you she has learned the importance of the mental game over the years and that even though a player may be a step slower, they can still beat you off the dribble by outsmarting you.
Brown didn't say when she first had that epiphany, but it may have been during her freshman or redshirt sophomore season when she worked as a radio broadcaster.
Brown, who received a degree in speech communication in May, was a perfect fit in the role.
The experience opened a new door for Brown, and she admits she enjoys seeing the other side of things. So Brown decided to continue to pursue a career in broadcasting. Over the summer, she worked as an intern at FOX 5 in Atlanta, where she had the opportunity to go into the field and do interviews, which were used in the evening's telecast.
And just as basketball has always come easy to Brown, so did being a reporter.
"Kiesha is a very bright, energetic young lady who has her sights set on the business," said Ron Jenkins, sports producer at FOX 5, who spent most weekends working with Brown. "There is nothing stopping her from getting into TV and succeeding. All she needs is the experience and the coaching and she will be able to move on to a mid-market and mid-level station and then go onto bigger and better places."
Jenkins said Brown's charisma, her desire to learn and her ability to take direction make her a natural for the business.
When Brown is asked about her future, she immediately perks up. It's not like she is anxious to leave the University of Georgia because she knows the Lady Bulldogs have unlimited potential this season, it's just that she is ready to turn the page.
"It is kind of like starting a new life, a new stage," Brown said. "It has been great here, but it is like being a freshman or a rookie out in the field. I guess for a long time I have always wanted to make own money, buy my car, have my house and be able to say I have earned this, I have bought this."
Injuries are nothing new to Landers, and he knows each ACL tear or pulled hamstring or separated shoulder is a personal thing an athlete has to handle.
Landers said he always hurts for his players when they are injured, but he said he doesn't like to wear the pain and the disappointment every day. Instead, he prefers to keep tabs on the athlete by making sure they have done their rehab and to believe there will be a day when that athlete walks through his office door ready to go.
That day has come and gone for Brown, and Landers is just happy to have had the senior contribute so much to his program.
"She gives you everything that you want: the work ethic, the enthusiasm, the athleticism, the quickness," Landers said. "She is a person that any time you put her into the game she could explode and do three or four great things right off the bat which will affect the way that the game is played."
Looking back, Brown doesn't wish she had never been injured. It could be the time she has had to mature and see the game of basketball and her future from a different perspective. It could be the experience of being a broadcaster for UGA women's basketball games or her time as an intern for FOX 5.
The way Brown sees it, she wouldn't be the person she is today if she hadn't been injured.
"I was just like basketball," Brown said. "All my life was basketball. I played high school, then you go to AAU and then you play all summer and come back and play high school. It is a year-round thing. That's all I did. So before, when people asked me what I wanted to be I was like, You know, I don't know.' I didn't even say a basketball player. I just was like, I don't know.'
"But just sitting on the sidelines (doing the radio broadcasts), that may have stirred up the lemonade a little bit. Coach calls it turning a lemon into lemonade. That kind of stirred it up a little bit, and I got a lot of good feedback from it, so it started progressing and the second year I did it again.
"It has opened my eyes to a lot of things. You can ask me now what I want to be and I am a basketball player. I see a lot more things clearly and I am a lot more focused than what I would have been if I wasn't hurt and I wouldn't have been on the sidelines."
Brown isn't limiting herself to a broadcasting career. She said she is considering consulting with athletes and instructing them on how to talk with the media. She said she also may pursue a modeling career. And considering how much Brown has grown as a person at UGA, there's reason to believe nothing will hold her back.
"Her dad (Wendell) is a very positive person. He is a very keep-it-moving-forward personality," said Jenkins, who has been a friend of the family for nearly 10 years. "She is a very competitive person, and she is a get-it-done type of individual when she gets in a game. She makes do with whatever time she has and she makes very few mistakes when she is on the court.
I compare Kiesha to Don Baylor, who was an excellent pinch hitter. Not everyone can come off the bench and hit a baseball. It is the same way coming off the bench cold, you have to have your head in the game and when you get in there you have to go 90 miles an hour. Kiesha has that kind of psyche."
She also has the background to understand when a teammate is hurting and when a few words of encouragement can work wonders.
"I think that has always been me, whether I was a freshman or a senior," Brown said. "If somebody is having a bad day, you have to put yourself aside and get that person up because, ultimately, we are all playing for each other. You can't play basketball 1-on-5 or 2-on-5, you have to play as a team. We win as a team, we die as a team."
That sentiment is more important than any honor or award Brown has ever won.

Tried upgrading from Drupal 5 with this module turned on. On every possible screen of my update.php run, there is this error message which distracts from the real errors, and will eventually cause misunderstandings to users coloring imagecache as a bad-bad module.
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /....../imagecache/imagecache.module on line 125.
If you look at this line, this is inside a hook_theme() implementation of the module which calls out to
imagecache_presets(). The
imagecache_presets() does not look like a broken monster but it does surface one problem with the Drupal 5 and Drupal 6 API differences. It does not clear the cache, because $reset is FALSE, then it does not return because the static $presets is empty. So it gets to getting the data from cache, caching it in static cache and eventually returning it.
And there comes our problem. In Drupal 5, you serialize() a structure and put it into the cache, and when you get it from cache, you unserialize it. In Drupal 6 there is a "serialized" column, which is 1 if the data is serialized and should be deserialized when used. Since that column is not prefilled for existing data with 1, the existing data is just returned as is and will not work with the foreach() in the above mentioned hook_theme() implementation.
I think there are basically two ways out:
1. Fix imagecache_theme() so if imagecache_presets() does not return an array, it does not do a foreach. This might corrupt the initial theme cache, but that will AFAIR be regenerated after update.php is completed.
2. Fix imagecache_presets(), so that it does not think the data is right if it is not an array, and does go on to regenerate the data. Then if imagecache_preset_actions() also runs fine, it should regenerate the data well. I think this way others using imagecache_presets() should also get the right data in the update.
Attached simple patch is for (2). With added comments.

MMR super jab planned
A pharmaceutical firm is developing a new super jab combining the controversial MMR vaccine with a shot to protect against chickenpox.
But it will be at least two years before GlaxoSmithKline submits its MMRV vaccine for approval in Britain.
One theory is that subjecting the body's immune system to three types of virus in one go is simply too much.
This claim has been rejected by the medical establishment, who are adamant that the vaccine is safe, and that a drop in immunisation rates risks a re-emergence of disease.
However, there is increasing demand for single dose vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella in the UK.
The new vaccine, which would include a dose of the varicella or chickenpox vaccine, is sure to provoke more controversy.
Cheaper alternative
A GlaxoSmithKline spokesman said the vaccine would work out cheaper than MMR because it cuts down on the number of injections a child has to undergo.
Combined vaccines are used extensively in countries where there has been less controversy over the MMR jab.
Currently, licensed chickenpox jabs are not available in the UK although they can be obtained through some private companies.
Although the disease is not seen as dangerous, latest figures show it accounts for about 25 deaths annually in England and Wales.
Topically, this is more than from measles, mumps, whooping cough, and Hib meningitis combined.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We are not in any way considering adding any vaccine to MMR at this point.
"If and when such a vaccine is licensed we will consider all the evidence on its safety and efficacy in combating chickenpox and shingles."
Chickenpox can be fatal, especially in people with suppressed immune systems, and deaths from the disease in adults have increased over the past 30 years, despite the availability of a vaccine against it.
Once someone has had it they become immune to the disease, but the virus does remain dormant in nerve tissues and may reappear to cause shingles (herpes zoster) in later life.

MELBOURNE City Council will join the push for more high-rise buildings in the CBD, with a plan to rejuvenate degraded parts of the city.
The council next month will present a draft statement outlining major changes to planning rules and height restrictions to better accommodate the city's rapidly growing population.
The statement is also aimed at reducing the number of planning disputes that end up at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal by giving more certainty to developers about where council believes high-rise development is most appropriate.
Lord mayor Robert Doyle said the Melbourne Strategic Statement would identify large sites or whole precincts where major changes to planning controls would encourage the redevelopment of vacant land and rundown buildings.
''We are planning now for the development of our city over the next 40 years, recognising that Melbourne is predicted to double in size,'' Cr Doyle said.
While it is not known which parts of the city will be targeted, the western end of Lonsdale Street around the old Age building is a likely candidate, with a large number of unattractive and disused buildings.
The Age yesterday sparked debate about skyscrapers as one solution to urban sprawl with two leading developers revealing plans for more towers.
It is part of a series examining how the city will cope with a projected population rise from 3 million to 7 million by 2050.
Premier John Brumby said yesterday that while there would always be debate about high-rises, the bulk of new housing in Victoria would continue to be medium density and in the outer suburbs.
He pointed to Eureka Tower as an example of a successful high-rise development.
''You can have high-rise which is positive, you can have medium density which is positive and you can have the villages that go to make up the outer suburbs of Melbourne,'' Premier Brumby said.
''The best cities have a combination of all three and I think that's what makes Melbourne one of the best cities.''
Research yesterday showed developers and lenders had responded to strong demand for property with a 25 per cent rise in the number of apartments for sale in metropolitan Melbourne, the largest proportion in the City of Melbourne.
Once the statement is approved, the council will follow with a project to give developers detailed design guidelines.

President Barack Obama, like his predecessors over the past 20 years, has signed new free trade deals with Latin America. The latest involved Panama and Colombia. But his GOP challenger has said that's not enough. During Monday night's presidential debate, Mitt Romney said we can do better when it comes to trade with Latin America.
"As a matter of fact, Latin America's economy is almost as big as the economy of China. We're all focused on China. Latin America is a huge opportunity for us," said Romney.
"My first reaction was: Well, what would the plan be?" said Kevin Gallagher, the coordinator of the Global Development Policy program at Boston University.
Gallagher said Romney's Latin American's economic strategy, well, there's not much there, there.
"What puzzles a lot of us is that the United States has a trade deal with just about every significant Latin American country except for Brazil and Argentina. And every president since the Clinton Administration has unsuccessfully tried to do a deal with Brazil and Argentina. And I'm not sure that the Romney administration… they don't outline a plan on how they would actually do that."
There are reasons why president after president has failed to ink free trade deals with Brazil and Argentina.
"The United States has refused to put agriculture on the table," said Gallagher. "We subsidize our agricultural sector, we've de-regulated it, and we have tariffs on it, but we won't put that on the negotiating table. The second reason is that when the Brazilians look around to our deals with Chile, with Mexico, and others, they've had mixed results."
The Mexican economy has had sluggish growth since the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement two decades ago.
Still, beyond the two regional powerhouses, Brazil and Argentina, there are other Latin American trade opportunities for the US.
"If you're talking about opening markets, the only real market there is to open for the next administration would be the Cuban market," said political scientist Mark Jones, a Latin American specialist at Rice University in Houston.
And Mitt Romney has made it abundantly clear, he's not interested in engaging with Cuba. He's promised to isolate the island further.
So while it seems there's little Mitt Romney, or any American president, could do to increase trade deals with Latin America, a president Romney wouldn't be powerless to stimulate trade.
"So much of our trade is affected by our domestic economic policies, whether it's taxes or regulations," said Bryan Riley, a senior trade policy analyst at the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation in Washington.
Of course, that brings us back to the central question of this election: Which presidential candidate has a better plan to get the domestic economy going?
With respect to trade deals, I asked Riley if he thought Romney had a strong Latin American strategy, or was he just serving up sound bytes?
"Well, I think he (Romney) has a good general strategy, and what he calls his Reagan economic zone, or a western hemisphere free trade agreement, is an example of that. So that's certainly a positive. I think it's premature to expect somebody to spell out all of the exact details of how that would work."
Mark Jones at Rice University said a western hemisphere free trade zone isn't realistic "at all." But he gives Romney points for at least engaging on the topic.
"It falls a little on the side of empty promises, but at least it is demonstrating some interest in Latin America, which is more than President Obama has demonstrated over the past few years."
Jones added, "it's a sad state of affairs" when a few throwaway lines in a debate are seen as positive movement for Latin American trade relations.

Style: 36223600 Color Code:
Lightweight and semi-sheer tonal embroidery fit and flare mini dress. Features a plunging V-Neckline with crochet trim. Side cutouts and cold shoulder detailing with a raw circle hem. Adjustable waist. Layer over one of our seamless styles for an effortless look.
Endless Summer
An Endless Summer- Whether you live the beach lifestyle year-round or dream of making the great escape, explore the collection of our most effortlessly ethereal styles under the sun.
When the dress arrived (XS) I was excited to try it on but quickly learned this dress needed quite a bit of adjusting before it would fit on my body. I'm a AA for bra size and 103lbs, by the time I had adjusted it so it would fit on my body the back of the dress had ridden up until you could see the curve of my butt-cheeks. I think this dress would fit on someone with a more boobs so that they wouldn't have to adjust the dress as much as I had too. The dress was sheer and the fabric was soft both of which I liked but a definite no on my body. I unfortunately returned the dress.
This dress is really fun! I enjoy wearing it. I'm 5'9 and 128 lbs. I wear a size medium. People have complained that its see through in the white but I bought it in the blue and I haven't had a problem with it being see through. It twirls and its really just a fun dress to wear out :)
Fit n Flare
I was very disappointed when I received this dress. It is extremely sheer and the fabric looks really cheap. It looks perfect in the picture but the fabric is shiny and the fit is loose. I would not recommend this product.

Samsung Galaxy S III rumored to be released in April: HD screen, quad-core processor, 12-megapixel camera, running ICS
0. phoneArena posted on 24 Jan 2012, 07:16
Notorious for his murky inside sources and hit-or-miss track record, Russian tech blogger Eldar Murtazin just dropped a huge news bomb by saying the yet unannounced Samsung Galaxy S III…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I think Samsung doesn't go to stay for 1.5GHz quad core, i think they go to put in Galaxy S III a Exynus 4412 quad core clocked at 2GHz.

Even if this is true (which I doubt) and it comes out in April, when will we get it here in the States? December???

What a step up this will be for those with GS1 phones.
Personally, I will bet good money on US carriers getting on board with these monsters, and a little quicker this time. Samsung is getting better and better in adjusting device support for each carrier, and with LTE support for the big three, it will be even easier. Maybe Sprint and AT&T will not have a ton of markets so the GS3 will still have to be optimized, but I cannot see a fiasco like with the GS2.
51. snowgator (Posts: 3604; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
I meant to say GS1 owners whose 2 year commitment will be done. My bad.

why would it be 1.5ghz quad when 800 quad would probably crush any 1.5ghz dual core?

75. jamvts (Posts: 14; Member since: 27 Jan 2012)
The Two most Imp Features Over anything is
a) World Phone like the iphone 4s
i think its the best feature in any phone to have both radios inside with all types of data enabled
b) Big battery like something close to 4000mah which does not seems to be that impossible nowadays
then comes features like
Dedicated Shutter button
Big screen RGB non-pentile 4.6 to 5 inch Super amoled plus 300+ ppi screen
Big resolution 16:10 or 5:4
Quad core 2.0 processor
1.5/2gb LPDDR3 ram
Aluminium Unibody Construction
12.1/14.1mp camera
Hotswap Mem card
inbuilt 32/64gb
bluetooth 4.0
HSPA+ 42mbps/ LTE/wimax or all of em :P
Xenon Flash
Wireless FM
Low Heat
More powerful speaker
Better audio Quality
Slide to screenshot like galaxy note
Little More Brightness
Bonus Feaure that i think will be great is having an Infrared sensor inside as well so it can replace the universal remotes
volume control and maybe clip on bluetooth caller id in headset (wireless would be great)
touch is still a problem in S2 and Note
especially in registering the touch - people say it is almost fixed with all the available mods out there but i bet u play fruit ninja and then talk, its nothing like any other LCD capacitive screen (eg iphone optimus 2x) , no way near at all
honestly i really wont mind if they make it a little thicker than the current one with all those stuff.

Training Camp Update with Gabe Henderson
Flames Audio:
Throughout the month of August, LibertyFlames.com will continue to provide in-depth coverage of football's preparation for its 2014 season, including player insight features.
We continue the series of player insight features today with Gabe Henderson, the senior member of Liberty's starting three wide receivers.
Henderson proved last year that he has fully made the transition from quarterback, a position he was expected to play when he signed at Liberty, to wide receiver.
Henderson finished 2013 ranked second on the team in receptions (47) and receiving yards (641). He tied for third with three receiving touchdowns.
The native of Garner, N.C., averaged 13.6 yards per reception and had breakout games against Coastal Carolina and Old Dominion. He posted consecutive 100-yard games against the two foes, finishing the Coastal Carolina game with a season-high nine receptions and 135 yards. The week prior, Henderson had eight catches for 120 yards at Old Dominion.
LibertyFlames.com will continue its player insight features later this weekend when LFSN reporter Alan York talks with offensive lineman Greg Ray on Sunday.

5 Ways to Guarantee Sales Will Hate Your CRM
July 19, 2016
CRM often is described as a discipline and a technology that will transform the entire business. Sales and marketing can get on the same page, support will have visibility into what sales and marketing are doing, and every interaction can be captured and used to create a complete view of every customer. CRM has weak links, however -- and in many businesses, the weakest is the sales team.
Salesforce VP Lynne Zaledonis: Intelligence Is the Next Generation of CRM
June 28, 2016
Salesforce VP Lynne Zaledonis drives product marketing and sales enablement for Sales Cloud.

The Why of Customers
May 13, 2016
SAS Institute introduced SAS Customer Intelligence 360 at its recent Global Forum meeting. Intelligence 360 has some good ideas baked in, though some of the messaging I heard wasn't up to the level of the product or at least its intention. I suspect that will come, and it's an easy fix. The product set is divided into two major components, Discover and Engage.

Uber Settles With New York AG After 'Playing God' With Data
January 8, 2016
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Thursday announced a deal that would require Uber to encrypt geolocation information about its riders, as well as enhance its data security practices. The AG opened an investigation into Uber in 2014, in response to allegations that the service had tracked riders and displayed their locations in an aerial format, known internally as the "God View."
Year-End Intelligence
December 16, 2015
There's always an aphorism about Santa, stockings and year-end funding news, but I am tired of them so I'll let you imagine one. However, the funding news is so good from so many sources that I thought it worthwhile to mention a few items -- there are patterns emerging. First, Salesforce bought MinHash. That's not a funding event proper, but it does provide some modicum of cash to the founders.
5 Customer Relationship Objectives for the Growing Biz
December 7, 2015
The amount of effort spent on talking and thinking about the best ways to connect with customers truly is incredible. The amount of ink spilled -- real and virtual -- the number of conferences held, and the dollars spent on efforts and expertise are vast. The irony is that businesses often start out with a natural ability to behave in a customer-centric way.
The 2 Layers of Customer Experience
November 18, 2015
Maybe you've already considered this, but it just popped into my head the other day as I was thinking once again about customer experience -- or CX, as some people shorten it. I've often said that customers experience moments of truth and that the experience should be focused on the things they care most about and that the business actually can do something about.
Report: Botnets Help Bump Cyberattack Attempts by 20 Percent
November 17, 2015
ThreatMetrix last week reported that it had detected and prevented more than 90 million attempted cyberattacks in real time across industries from July to September. The attempted attacks covered fraudulent online payments, logins and new account registrations, and represented a 20 percent increase over the previous quarter, according to ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Report: Q3 2015.
Sales and Marketing Sentiment: Feeling Is Perception Is Reality
November 16, 2015
About a year ago, I conducted a survey that led to my company's first-ever Sales & Marketing Sentiment Study. The idea was to get inside the heads of people in sales and marketing and reveal their feelings about the way they worked, the technology they used, and about each other. We split the results into sales and marketing responses and compared them.

Microsoft announced it will offer its Azure, Office 365 and Dynamics CRM cloud services to business clients using two Germany-based data centers hosted by a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom. The arrangement will protect the integrity and privacy of customer data, the company said. The data centers will be under the control of T-Systems, a unit of Deutsche Telekom, which will act as data trustee.
Digital Transformation and Moments of Truth
November 11, 2015
I hadn't been aware of one of the more important CRM stories of the year until I was doing research for a new book. It's a great story and it deserves retelling, especially if you think that focusing on customers' moments of truth is important. Back in April, Starbucks announced revenues for the just-completed quarter that exceeded year-over-year attainment by a whopping 17.8 percent.
Oracle Banks on CX Cloud Verticals
November 2, 2015

TalkTalk on Thursday announced that it received a ransom demand following a cyberattack that may have compromised the credit card and bank details of millions of customers. "TalkTalk constantly updates its systems to make sure they are as secure as possible against the rapidly evolving threat of cybercrime, impacting an increasing number of individuals and organizations," CEO Dido Harding said.
Processing Customer Loyalty
October 12, 2015
I've had to do a lot of thinking about customer loyalty lately, both for my book and more recently for client engagements. What's interesting is how chaotic this market is and how many people are writing about it with very little data. There isn't even strong agreement on the similarities and differences between rewards programs and loyalty. Are they the same? How?
Verizon Supercookie to Let Advertisers Gorge on Customer Data
October 8, 2015
Verizon has announced it will begin sharing customer data with its AOL Advertising Network, triggering concerns about privacy and customer tracking. AOL will use Verizon's supercookie -- which is difficult to get rid of -- to track users. "This is a huge privacy problem, but carriers have never really cared that much about customer satisfaction," said tech analyst Rob Enderle.
Stop Competing on Price, Start Competing on Customer Experience
October 6, 2015
Target may be implementing price matching, but there are other ways to compete. Customer experience is the new battleground in retail sales, and winning this battle requires winning over customers with truly personalized service. Despite all the advancements in technology, personalized customer service and efforts to build customer loyalty have all but disappeared.
Salesforce IoT Cloud Makes Thunderous Debut
September 15, 2015

IoT Cloud is powered by Salesforce Thunder, the company's new massively scalable, real-time event processing engine. "Salesforce is turning the Internet of Things into the Internet of Customers," said CEO Marc Benioff.
The IoT's Data Prioritization Pearl
September 14, 2015
The era of digital transformation and the digital business, the customer experience as a key differentiator, and the movement toward smart machines are some of the common themes Gartner Distinguished Analyst Don Scheibenreif touched on in his keynote last week at the Gartner Customer 360 Summit in San Diego. These are all phenomena that have been on their way for a little while -- like a glacier.
The Tyranny of Spreadsheets
September 10, 2015
As a former sales and marketing guy, I am more than familiar with spreadsheets as a not-so-good tool for managing the avalanche of data generated by the front office, even before the big data craze. Name a department or function in business and it's easy to find people using spreadsheets to manage it -- often poorly, but through no fault of their own.
Spredfast Gets Something to Shout About
August 25, 2015
Spredfast last week announced its acquisition of Shoutlet, a social data aggregator. Shoutlet has been a "huge innovator" in the social CRM space, said Spredfast CEO Rod Favaron. "With this acquisition, Spredfast gains that technology as well as the team that built it. It's a game changer. ... Customers will have more ways to understand their audiences and impact the customer journey."
Full Circle's 80-20 Rule
August 14, 2015
I recently talked with Bonnie Crater about changing her company's name, and something really struck home. Crater is CEO of Full Circle Insights, and I've known her since her days as an executive at Salesforce. As I was listening to Crater, I recalled that old aphorism, often attributed to John Wanamaker, that half an advertising budget is wasted, but we just don't know which half.
Data and Design Can Drive Customer Loyalty
August 3, 2015
In the past, enterprises controlled the times, policies and marketing funnel for customer interactions. When things went wrong, customers reluctantly picked up the phone to call customer support, fully expecting not to be recognized, to be put on hold, to have to repeat the same information several times, and to have to spend a lot of time and effort to receive "customer service."
The Process/Platform Revolution
July 22, 2015
I've been looking at process as the next big thing in CRM for a while. It only makes sense, for several reasons. First, as we move to conducting increasing amounts of business online, we lose the intimacy of personal contact between vendor personnel and customers. In its place we need accurate and authentic processes that treat customers in ways they appreciate.
Wrangling Big Data: When in Doubt, Think Like a Customer
July 13, 2015
As businesses gain new insights about the power of data, they're discovering new sales and marketing tactics that go far beyond what previously was possible. It's not just big data and a technology-driven revolution -- it's also a shift in attitudes about data's place in sales, its role as a guide or reality check, and its ability to fuel new processes that drive greater sales performance.
Bridging the Front and Back Offices
July 9, 2015
I've written many times about how conventional, premises-based ERP seems to be evaporating. Configuration, pricing and quoting are business processes that illustrate the point. First, let's all agree that enterprise resource planning isn't going extinct as it evaporates -- it's too valuable -- but it is getting a haircut. Many of the functions leaving ERP are condensing back into the front office.

A new proprietary feed additive can now help you optimize sow efficiency, colostrum quality and piglet growth.
Purina Animal Nutrition's Healthy Edge Technology for sows is supported by multiple research studies at the company's research center, universities and field trials.
Beyond such traditional performance metrics as the number of pigs per sow per year, sow producers also value piglet size and weight at weaning, short return to estrus, sow and young pig health and minimum death loss. Healthy Edge Technology can help deliver upon all of these key sow producer needs.
"Sows that are expected to produce 30 pigs per sow per year must be fed properly," says Elena Lindemann, livestock marketing director with Purina Animal Nutrition. "Healthy Edge Technology supports intake during lactation and helps deliver up to 1.7 more full-potential pigs — those weighing 8 pounds or more at weaning — per sow per year."

Harvey's Central Grille
1340 W. Towne Square Road
Mequon, WI, 53092
Neighborhood: Mequon
Imagine sipping a perfectly chilled glass of Chardonnay while listening to Brett Dennen's poetic lyrics stream out of the speakers. After a long day, Harvey's conservative yet borderline artsy atmosphere is just what the doctor ordered. It's an establishment tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city with contemporary style and service. Quite frankly, it's "Sex in the City" (pre-dinner martinis with friends) meets Ralph Lauren (wine and a salmon salad) polished off with a tempting slice of paradise (tiramisu). (Nastassia Putz)

Samsung UI patent filing reveals new folder features

Apple is going to sue over drag-and-drop....
Attorneys are going to get more of their kid's college education funded off of Apple v. the World litigation.
6. Phullofphil (Posts: 805; Member since: 10 Feb 2009)
Just because the pattent fighting is getting blown up does not mean any body is being selfish. It's apart of business at this level in this field. Its our patent office giving patents for stuff that should not be patented and should be comen sence patients. It's like getting a pattent for making somthing that has pages that have words in between two covers. A book is somthing is just apart of the evolution of the writing technology. Our patent office is giving patients for stupid stuff like using multi touch. The patent should maybe be awarde to the hardware maker but not the company using the product. And some patents basically should at the list have a basic charge for using it. It holds Back the tech world to allow these patents and I really want to give better examples but I just got off work and am going to sleep. Anyways apple and other companies that get awarded thes patents have to try to protect them. No matter how often it happens it's not really there fault. They can't give an inch because if you do than you lose a little bit at a time and that leads to weakness. The only reason apple does more lawsuits is because they have done some great innovations the last ten years and have got a lot ofattents and most are good strong ideas. Some are stupid and should not have been patented but heck I would do the same thing if I was alowed to get silly patents. Apple is just getting like Microsoft was. Huge target. People like to bitch about that. I myself am against most big corporate greed and the controll they have over our government policies. Politicions are not smart enough to change the pattent system but that is what needs to change not apple protecting what is rightfully there's. The sue the heck out of Samsung but in the same breath are hardware partners with them. It's just part of doing business. Most of the companies know exactly what there doing and probably put the cost of legal battles with the product too use the patent apart of proffet projections to see if it's worth it.
35. kellkeezy (Posts: 57; Member since: 17 Dec 2011)
thank God someone is comes to the table with a resonable response on how business works with patents. It sucks that they are awarded to people that are willing to sue, but that comes with the terms of a patent. Its what your allowed to do to protect your well BOUGHT patents and ideas. Just ask George Lucas about his owning that "droid" word
67. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Some comments:
1. Apple chose to apply for what in many instances are questionable patents. Just because the patent office grants a patent, doesn't necessarily mean the patent is valid. It will take a bunch of litigation to decide that. Meanwhile, Apple is intimidating smaller companies (aka stifling innovation).
2. While Apple may be a huge target, they also have a reputation for resorting to a scorched-earth defense. You may win, but it will take you 6+ years and in the interim, your business has failed.
3. Apple professes to hate trolls, yet at the same time, when a troll fits Apple's objectives, they (Apple) have no problems using trolls to further their objective(s).
At the end of the day, it is just bid-ness. The unfortunate thing is that Apple's $100+ billion pile of cash gives it advantages that other companies don't exactly have. There is a truism about litigation that is very applicable in this circumstance - you can get as much 'justice' as you can afford.
In the end, the attorneys end up winning (and funding the college educations of their kids in the bargain).

Thanks a lot apple for the patent war, you made the mobile world a disgusting place.
Do I have to patent taking off my clothes since its drag and drop.
68. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
If your process of taking off your clothes posed a competitive threat to Apple, you might want to plan for being contacted by them with a demand that you cease and desist from dragging and dropping.... ;-)

Apple started this and now every company has to file patents for such small things so that they can defend themselves and not get sued by apple. Atleast they dont use these patents to bully other competitive companys to eliminate competition and release same product every year with the minimal upgrade they can.

The application fee is probably the smallest piece of the total expense of a patent prosecution effort.

I mad a big statement above but I want to shorten this a lot and say its our patent office policies in awarding patents not any companies fault. It's just business with them but the patent office and how they award them does not work anymore.
16. tedkord (Posts: 14206; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
No, its not the just the USPTO. Most patent trolls, though scumbags, are out to make a few bucks. Apple are using bs patents to try and remove competition.
So, yes the patent office enables it, but you don't excuse someone for bad behavior just because they've got a legal loophole. In many countries its legal and acceptable for men to beat women. That doesn't make those men any less despicable just because their country allows it.

Oh, and its not just business with Apple. Steve Jobs had a personal vendetta against Android, and Tim Cook seems to be carrying it on.

I would have a vendetta to if a company kept stealing ideas and concepts. Android makes vendettas against itself for not being original.

That explains why there's so much anger toward Apple. All they've ever done is steal, and proudly cop to it.

You are starting to become the biggest troll on this site. Its getting to the point where I seriously don't want to see your user name anymore. Its a Samsung article, not Apple or iOS.
If there's an option to block comments, that would be really appreciated. Or better yet, ban him from the site. Every comment from him is negative and flat out annoying.

Well, if you can't get a signal, then I guess they really are copying Apple. Especially if they then claim you're holding it wrong.

In the spirit of the season I would like to examine sentimentality, it is another highly charged concept that is gaining new meaning in recent years. It is pervasive in art, advertising, relationships and entertainment.

Good to know you've been reading my quotes ... thanks Janine..
I had to choke on that Mailer quote Re; sentimentality - after I stated that I was not romantic - but sentimental, in the prior thread.

Watered down version of romantic. Can make me cry easily but forget it just as easily...i think. Like a chick flick. an old song. an old photo, or saying, seeing someone in the street who reminds you of someone you knew, a revisited place...that kind of thing.

Not really romantic, since it does not need to include the notion of romance/eros. Sentimental can include other dimensions, such as nostalgia, or the "rose colored glasses" of a strong positive bias, or missing anything that you formerly enjoyed in the past.
Of or prompted by feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia: "she felt a sentimental attachment to the place creep over her".
(of a work of literature, music, or art) Dealing with feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia in an exaggerated and self-indulgent...
maudlin - mushy - emotional - sensitive
A sentimentalist is simply one who wants to have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it. We think we can have our emotions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing emotions have to be paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine. The intellectual and emotional life of ordinary people is a very contemptible affair. Just as they borrow their ideas from a sort of circulating library of thought�the Zeitgeist of an age that has no soul�and send them back soiled at the end of each week, so they always try to get their emotions on credit, and refuse to pay the bill when it comes in. You should pass out of that conception of life. As soon as you have to pay for an emotion you will know its quality, and be the better for such knowledge. And remember that the sentimentalist is always a cynic at heart. Indeed, sentimentality is merely the bank holiday of cynicism.

A Romantic lives each moment with certain ideals. Being sentimental is a feeling triggered by attachment, usually to past emotion. I find overly sentimental people have a tendency for depression, while Romantics are optimistic.
I loath sentimentality in the media and art..like object relationship.. you can always get a laugh out of a dirty joke from a school kid....nostalgia is a symptom of depression ... romantics can get melancholy ...
Posted by: Andrew Pacheco on 4 Years Ago

To me, being sentimental is a more emotionally attached version of being nostalgic. I agree with what Karen said about being sentimental and how it's triggered by attachment.
Romance worthy, but sentimentality not ?
I find so much more worth in a "magic" rock that a 3 yr old has gifted me with - than a dozen roses for Valentines day that cost a small fortune, when that $ could have been used to spend on a shared life experience making more memories..
Maybe that makes me more of a "romantic"..........
Man, oh Man! "nostalgia is a symptom of depression ... romantics can get melancholy ..." Robert, with all due respect. I am sentimental and have NEVER been depressed or leaned towards depression in my life. While this may be true for some, you cannot pigeonhole people.
For me, being sentimental is keeping my memories close to my heart. (edited)
I live in my childhood home...have for 55 years now. This house was remodeled by my father and stepfather. My mother LOVED and was happy in this old home. When the state took the property by eminent domain to build yet another highway off ramp in the late 50s, my mother, a widow at 33 with three young children, moved this house to its current location. I LOVE this old home.
Every room is filled with memories. My children's rooms remain their bedrooms. My room became my daughter's room and will eventually become her oldest daughter's. Every wall is covered with artwork with stories to tell. Outside, trees were planted with our names. My youngest brother's tree is in the front yard. It's now 48 years old. As long as I breathe, that tree will stand unless nature says otherwise. The wishing well my stepfather built serves as a planter. The stone wall with dirt in the middle also serves as a place for me to plant marigolds (his favorite) to honor my stepfather every summer. The shed, where I played as a child, although remodeled, still stands.
I still have my first doll, my one and only doll from my childhood. It was given to me the Christmas when I was eight years old. It was my father's last Christmas. I have a stocking doll I made from my bobby socks that was to rest with my father. My aunt never followed through with my wishes and returned it to me when I turned 21 and married. I treasure it. I have my parents old scrapbooks, documents, and photos which give me a sense of their lives. I could go on and on and on.
Yes, I am sentimental, nostalgic, happy, and not depressed. I feel I have been blessed in this lifetime.

Total agreement, Janine. As I type, I'm staring at a purple pet rock that has a home on my desk. My daughter gave me this rock when she was in grade school. She is now 36 years old.

Isn't being sentimental indulging into the past?
Thanx m'ladies !
But we are "the nesters", so we would feel quite differerantly than what most men would feel comfortable with.
& I got that purple rock too Janice !
Sydne, you can embrace the past, carry on in the present, and still look to the future.
Traditions continue by remembering the past, or sometimes, the simpliest of gestures makes us smile by taking us back into our past. My mother would sometimes sit in her chair with her index finger on her face and thumb beneath her chin as if she were holding up her face. Sometimes I find myself doing the same. It makes me smile.
I'm so happy I got the juice pumping in this discussion but, there maybe some misunderstanding here in your own personal definition of what sentimental is to you... sentimentality is an over simplification of real emotion.Like cute pictures of pussy cats that make you go ahhh yet you see a homeless person in the street and go yuch..You want feeling without having to pay a price for them.....gifts have nothing to do with this. when I say a romantic I don't mean romance, as a matter of fact a romantic might have trouble being what someone else thinks of as romantic...Nostalgia is clinically considered a symptom of depression it's not pigeonholing anyone... If I wanted to do that I would do a better job of it... You all talk of the past, that is instinctual ,you experience it in your gut" remember when'', the present is in the heart, that is how do" I Feel Right Now!", "what if?" is the future and that is in the head it is fear..This issue is not gender related although many men tend to experience things in the "what if?" world so do many women..
from wiki'
A 17th Century medical student coined the term "nostalgia" for anxieties displayed by Swiss mercenaries fighting away from home, although some military doctors believed their problems were specific to the Swiss and caused by the Alpine racket of cowbells

I don't think it's over-simplification of real emotion. It can be. But sentiment about your children, your wife, you parents and siblings, and all the people and experiences that you truly and deeply love is normal. Anybody who cannot be sentimental might not be completely normal, might be, in some degree a sociopath. Sentiment, not to excess, merely means that you have emotional ties to your world, past and present that color and soften your perceptions.
Gregory, there is a difference between sentiment and sentimentality... a sociopath blames the world for their life situation and lacks empathy of any kind..empathy is very real and many have trouble with it..like when seeing a homeless person

so discernment has no value?
Of course it has, which is exactly what I'm saying with that it's about what you put into it, and not some 'meme' or anti-meme that you think you should get out of it.
so are you saying I'm a lazy self serving art enthusiast ? because I don't appreciate an artists work?
Uhm, no, I am / was saying that :

just about anything human is of sentimental value. The cold calculating scientists try to avoid it but then this is their failure because that lonely and abused Chimpanzee strapped to a stainless steel tank for the sake of some nothing experiment has reason to dissolve all experimentation with animals, especially near human animals like the great apes. The pharmacy industry is active in this inhumane activity as we speak.

Would my vintage photo of my grandparents be a sentimental photo. This was taken pre World War I
it might be to you but to me it is time piece...wonderful
I think it's a wonderful sentimental timepiece.michael do you know anything about the situation. Is the reality that because they were young and in love, and, had children, grandchildren and great grandchildren maybe, justify it being sentimental. Can sentimentality be removed by an onlooker?
Can anyone admit to never being sentimental?
'it's what you put into it.......
Yes....like someone may look at robert's great paintings and feel sentimental, even though he did everything to avoid sentimentality.
Not picking on you robert btw.
Bittersweett fool and flowers grave are amazing artworks as you said yourself you can't separate the artist from he art in this one.......do I detect some sentiment in those words robert.....as Vincent said....we can choose to fight it but it is a human facet.....sorry about grammar but I'm using an iPad...
Thank you Maria, I would say that those paintings were a form of rumination or lament... is that sentimental? I think they are an expression of remorse and shame, not sure that is sentiment.. Micheals photo is wonderful and the fact that they are his grandparents is irrelevant to it's wonder...it may be sentimental to him but not to me but still equally as wondrous ... What if they had a terrible relationship where is the truth there?
It would be good if michael would respond to that, if he knows anything of the relationship. But as I said before, the viewer with no knowledge of the event puts their own sentiments/or not, onto the work, IMO. I think remorse and shame can be combined with sentiment, at funerals for example.
The dying sunflowers, make me feel remorseful because there,s no saving them, you can,t resuscitate a flower once it's gone past it's full flowering stage, but there,s sentiment. When we realise, it may flower again next year, not sure about sunflowers. We can look at the event in a lighter sense it has lived its expected life, saying that it doesn't,t stop us reflecting on the death, loss, sickness, our own mortality and the transience of life itself, oh and the destruction by man of the natural flora and fauna. That painting speaks volumes......if you have some amount of sentimentality, maybe?
Rumination or lamentation are they equivalent to sentimental......not sure....but these discussions don,t prove one way or the other what really is sentimental.....it is only sentimental to the extreme which reveals that a person is basically a sentimental fool, focussing on the shallow, pretty, no consequence to life from an experienced adult, as children can be excused, but I think we are all so much more aware of saying ahhh! When we look at something, like my puppy,s face when I am speaking to her and her fluffy face moves from side to side !
"We can look at the event in a lighter sense it has lived its expected life, saying that it doesn't,t stop us reflecting on the death, loss, sickness, our own mortality and the transience of life itself"
Yes, the transience, like Mono No Aware, which is also more towards the original meaning of the sentimental, of having / expressing / feeling a certain sensitivity...
And this?
Yes, the picture is a mono no aware, like a mnemonic footprint that lingers long. Great image. But what are the sounds, are they intentional as a contrast to the minute of random silence mentioned in the beginning or are they the camera recording itself?!
sorry double post!
Thanks Philip!!!
The sounds are an intentional random minute recording with a mic outside my studio. The silence is of course beneath it :-)

thank you for this Maria but this is not sentimental but acceptance of the way things are....dead....
Philip and Xo i can't seem to watch any videos on my lap top , I'm on the road and need to download an update.., so I can't comment on them....
"The sounds are an intentional random minute recording with a mic outside my studio. The silence is of course beneath it"
Ah, I see. I made this vid some long time ago. It also has a weird Lynchian sound in it ( played backwards or in slow-motion ), and then the silence and sound of falling snow...
I can sit in my 200 year old house deep up in the mountains that has no electricity and hear a candle hum or a buzz through the silence.. The snow falling with a hiss sounds like fine sweetness.. I've never heard sounds like this any where else..
I think most of us would agree that there are some beautiful visuals in this discussion.....including some sentimental ones. The sound of snow...the hum of a candle...living in a 200 yr old cottage in the mountains.....how does this feel to you robert...just acceptance, peace, freedom, beauty, solace, romantic, isn't,t there a hint of sentimentality there somewhere.
In the sunflower image and rhetoric that followed, you felt acceptance I felt thatoo, but also more. Maybe I unable to be single minded.....just occurred to me now!
Sounds die too...but while they are reaching ur ears you describe them with a depth of feeling/thought/maybe even sentiment.....don,t give up do I? Haha
Thanks guys for those images while I was experiencing them I forgot about the pain in my arm!
For some reason I can,t see the images on theipad will try on laptop later.
My friend whose sister lives on a farm in the sticks told me that sitting outside in the peacefulness she could hear a snail moving across a leaf. I so wanted to hear that. I do recall many times in England hearing the fresh fall of snow pfft to the ground, already cushioned in the white stuff. I must send you all the Christmas chapter. Now that is full of sentiment,nostalgia,reality,fun,innocence,etc,etc
About snow motion.....I,m speechless!
At first I thought too noisy but then remembered oxo talking about the sound of the snow being beneath all other sounds, which I realised was man's noise not nature's....it was beautiful. The sound of the storm wind heightened the drama, and the way that the visuals evolved...very creative and sensitive. I don't think I felt much sentimentality, although I know it always lurks there, just the remembrance of snow is jam packed with sentiment FOR ME...
I've just managed to see the wind scene, OMG, the force of nature, almost voicing it's own existence on camera, I love how the man responded to that sudden rouse of nature. :))
I have just become a tarkovsky fan and will not rest until I have seen his film collection, then read his poetry....thank you philip!:))) apparently with his film collection is a documentary discussing in part.....sentimentality!!
