Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by blancanieves, Feb 12, 2014.
Wonderful cast for a great cause!
I can't go. I have bowling that night.
Jason Brown and the Shibutains have just been added to the cast.
Love the cause! And kudos to all those that are participating, be it on the ice or in the audience.
Wish I was nearer to go ! Great cause and the cast is really great !!!
My bowling team agreed to pre-bowl, so I'm going! Whee!
how was it ?
Very good. For me, the hit of the show was Elijah Balde, followed by Jason Brown, but everyone was great.
Here's an article with pictures.
Frenchie Skate 2014
Frenchie Skate 2014 was a great show. It was a charitable fundraiser for NorthStar Reach - a summer camp scheduled to open next year for seriously ill children who would otherwise never get the opportunity. Medical personnel will be on site at the camp to assist the kids and their families. Georgia Glastris, a Junior at University of Michigan organized the event and all the skaters in the show volunteered their time and travel to help with this worthy cause.

If you were involved, Turbo-Mom, please pass on my congratulations for a well run event. I hope they raised quite a bit from it.
Thank you sk8er1964, my bad.
Have a good day. Hope it is nice and sunny where you are at.
What did everyone skate to?
Loved reading the article and comments (thanks for posting).
Now just looking for some vids to watch.
I was there for only the 2nd half of the show, spied Punsalan and Swallow and their kids during intermission. Here are some videos: some are entire performances, others are short clips.
Alissa Czisny
Weaver and Poje's SD
Jeremy Abbott
Video of skaters at end
Jason Brown did his U Can't Touch This exhibition, wearing a Michigan jersey, I think...? Michael Buckley said something about him arriving straight from the airport and not getting a chance to warm-up.
6-8 inches of snow expected tonight. Whee!!!!
Most did show/exhibition numbers. Weaver/Poje and Aldridge/Eaton did their short dance.
Yes. Basketball - which is rather fitting considering Michigan had just clinched the Big 10 title.

My thoughts exactely.Ripcode said:
Sorry, I don´t wanted to be wiser than the "senior-users" , but I understood it like pics in general from the single part, no screen-caps or shots from the production.
I can learn a lot here from you, sorry 4 the misunderstanding...
Guys, no worries. BTW has anybody found Bob yet?
I am just trying to get a good pic of the rod and the pully behind it. If I can get a good pic, then am hoping that I can make a better mold of the part. You know, less air in it.

Additional Battery Guidance
Types of Batteries
There are many kinds of batteries available today and several are regulated as hazardous materials in transportation that may only be shipped by contract hazmat shippers.
Lead-acid batteries
Common in cars, electric wheelchairs, some continuous computer power sources, and other applications. These batteries contain highly corrosive acid and can cause fires from short circuits.
Non-spillable batteries
Tested, proven non-spillable batteries are allowed to be shipped as non-hazardous within the U.S. Batteries and packaging must be marked "NONSPILLABLE" or "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY".
Lithium and lithium ion batteries
Both rechargeable and non-rechargeable power sources, common in computers, cell phones, cameras and other small electronic devices. If dropped, crushed or short-circuited, these batteries can release dangerous amounts of heat and may ignite, and are dangerous in fires. Special regulations apply to shipping these batteries.
Shipments requiring hazardous materials shipping papers are accepted from contract hazmat shippers only, and certain lithium batteries may not qualify for UPS service
Other Batteries
Although common dry cell (e.g., AA, C, D batteries) may not be regulated as hazardous materials, all batteries can cause fires from short circuits if batteries and terminals are not protected.
Protect Batteries and Terminals
When shipping batteries, you must protect all terminals against short circuits by completely covering the terminals with an insulating material (e.g., by using electrical tape or enclosing each battery separately in a plastic bag).
Short circuits can cause fires.
Package the batteries to keep them from being crushed or damaged, and to keep them from shifting during handling.
Always keep metal objects or other materials that can short circuit battery terminals securely away from the batteries - e.g., by using separate inner box for the batteries.
Prevent Fires
Any device with installed batteries must not turn on while in transport. Protect switches that can be accidentally activated, or remove the batteries and protect the terminals.
- Even very simple devices like flashlights or rechargeable drills can generate a dangerous quantity of heat if accidentally activated.
Recalled or Recycled Batteries
Never ship recalled or recycled batteries by air.
Air level services include UPS Next Day Air
, UPS 2nd Day Air
, UPS 3 Day Select
, UPS Worldwide Express
, and UPS Worldwide Expedited
No recycled or recalled batteries are allowed to be shipped between the continental U.S. and Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, where aircraft always must be used.
Electronic Items for Repair
Repair items, such as computers and cell phones, should be sent without batteries.
This is only a sampling of trigger terms which should prompt further questions about a shipment. There are many more, and it is hoped that seeing these will lead you to think about other general terms that may warrant further investigation.

I am looking at various part time TESOL courses in London, all of which claim to be Trinity accredited (I understand this to be the best one to go for apart from CELTA, ie one of the most internationally recognised - if there are others I should be considering please let me know) but I am struggling to find any reviews of the various courses. The ones I have found so far are: Teflab, Bloomsbury Square - £960+£110 for moderation, 12 weeks; Oxford Circus School - £995, 13 weeks; and Golders Green College - £899, 14 weeks.
Any advice on these or other part time courses which are worth considering would be much appreciated.

Libbi's column: Resilience, how do we build it?
April 21, 2013 , 10:04 AM by KuljaCoulston
On waking my seven year old son was straight onto his dad's phone and checking into the AFL app. The result was the same as it was yesterday afternoon. St Kilda had lost. Again. "It's heartbreaking", we heard him sigh heavily.
He knows the story – to take the games week by week, quarter by quarter. That hard work and training pays off. That pain of defeat can only enhance the joy of success. But. Still. Is barracking for St Kilda going to teach my son resilience or program him to think like a loser? I gave him the option to barrack for someone else yesterday as we sat listening to the talkback on ABC Grandstand stuck in traffic around 5.30pm on Kings Way. He shook his head resolutely as the sun sank low to match his spirits.
Football can be like that. It can teach meta life lessons to little and big people on a week by week basis. So I don't protect him from it. I let him participate. The news bulletins however, are another thing.
How do I balance my need to be informed with their need to feel safe and resolute in the world? How can I explain a running race that has an explosion at the finish line and expect them to be happy about taking up Little Aths? How do I get around the fact that the smoke detector in the kitchen sounds at the merest whiff of burned toast, and quell the fears of a kid that there'll be an explosion from the fire like in the factory in West, Texas? "That was fertilizer meant for the garden, that blew up", I said, " Not toast"; avoiding the fact completely that burned toast does in fact taste like shit. "But Mummy, the garden's just out there", respond my quaky kids.
Lucky we have a worm farm. Worms create juice to nourish the garden, and don't explode. Sometimes however, their sluggish pace mirrors St Kilda's progress.
Resiliance is something learned the hard way, and perhaps the earlier in life, the better.
What taught you resilience/ barracking for the Saints? Or something else?
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Supporting the western bulldogs all my life and never seeing them play in grand final has certainly taught patience and always that there is something to look forward to, such as our two debutants this week. you have to learn to enjoy the journey and the highs and lows that occur along the way, not just the destitination. Otherwise it is all futile unless you win, which is a pretty sad way to look at life.
Great topic to discuss
Mark, barwon heads
Posted by: Mark wilson | April 21, 2013 at 10:43 AM
the capability of someone to 'get knocked down in life and get back stronger' is useful in children relating experiences of footy losses if the parent can show the child real-life context, as well.
LIFE EXPERIENCES taught me resilience: loving and losing one who you thought you would 'DIE' without; failing an exam that you studied so hard to gain the knowledge to pass; and losing retirement investments from financial economic disaster where some 'shyster' took all your money and ran with it.
But, the hardest lesson for children to learn resilience from is having animals birthed before their eyes and then have a household pet that dies. It brings it all full-circle and is a much better example than trying to explain life to them.
Posted by: D. L. C. | April 21, 2013 at 11:16 AM
Yes. A great topic. One I am sure many of us struggle with. Society now builds children up to a point that they are no longer taught disappointment. For example, everyone gets a medal, a ribbon for running the race, or a present in pass-the-parcel. We can't all win, all the time. In order to appreciated the achievements, they need to be balanced against the disappointments. Otherwise, how do we learn? How do we appreciated effort and how do we learn from our mistakes? I am greatly concerned when my child makes comments like, "...they didn't pick me." I chose not to disguise the events of this week, rather to deliver them to my child in a way they would understand - as best they can. There are bad people in the world, who do bad things. There is no point in hoping that they will never find out about these things. All we can do is offer a safe sanctuary where they can grow and love and gain inner confidence. And, most times, you won't always win.

I have seen every St.Kilda grand final appearance since 1965 (I am too young to have seen 1913) and lots of wooden spoons ... Strangely it was the lost grand finals that hurt the most - the lost chance of sublime happiness cuts deeper than abject failure. However, with Edronax and counselling ... and the hope that one day it might just happen I keep gong. I don't know how or why but to follow the Saints mades you incredibly strong, envious of Essendon, Collingwood and Carlton supporters and always pessimistic because to dare to dream is to tempt the gods. I am haunted by the comments of my then 14 year old son ... 'Dad, why didn't make me barrack for Carlton? It's just so hard to follow the Saints!'

Traffic [DVD] [Universal Reissue]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Theatrical release: December 27, 2000 (NY/LA) January 5, 2001 (Wide Release) Shot on location in San Diego and Los Angeles, California; Nogales and Las Cruces, Mexico; El Paso, Texas; Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; and Washington, DC. There were 115 specific shooting locations in the film and 135 speaking roles. Peter Andrews is a pseudonym for director Steven Soderbergh as a cinematographer, since the Writers Guild wouldn't give him permission to use the credit "directed and photographed by Steven Soderbergh." The alias is taken from his father, Peter Andrew Soderbergh. Each of the three major locales in TRAFFIC has a specific look. Soderbergh told Gavin Smith of Film Comment (1/2001), "In San Diego the idea was to contrast the idyllic visual scheme with the rotten underpinnings of Helena and Carl's story. So for those scenes we were flashing the negative ten percent, which reduces the contrast and makes the highlights blossom, and using diffusion filters to give it a very desaturated, bright, soft look. And then on the East Coast we wanted a little bit more of a spare feeling, so we were shooting tungsten-balanced film in daylight without doing any color correction, which gives you a very cold, monochromatic look. Mexico was shot using extreme overexposure and printing down, adjusting the shutter angle to 45 degrees to give it a very strobey look, and using 'tobacco' filters, which give you a very yellowish-brown feel. We then printed those scenes on Ektachrome, which required a number of additional printing steps, so that it would be seven generations down from the original negative. Originally, we were going to do the whole film that way." Many nonprofessional actors were in the cast, and many of their scenes were improvised. TRAFFIC was inspired by the English miniseries TRAFFIK (1989), which was produced for Channel 4 Films. Among the cameos in the film are appearances by Albert Finney, Salma Hayek, Benjamin Bratt, and James Brolin. Finney also starred in Soderbergh's ERIN BROCKOVICH. Massachusetts governor Bill Weld and various U.S. senators such as Charles Grassley, Orrin Hatch, and Barbara Boxer appear in the film as themselves. Don Cheadle and Luis Guzmn both previously appeared in Soderbergh's OUT OF SIGHT and P.T. Anderson's BOOGIE NIGHTS. Guzmn also starred in Soderbergh's THE LIMEY. Topher Grace, star of the Fox television series THAT '70S SHOW, makes his first feature-film appearance in TRAFFIC. Soderbergh rarely had to film a scene more than three times. Lactose powder was used in the shooting to look like cocaine. Soderbergh watched such genre films as THE FRENCH CONNECTION to prepare for TRAFFIC. Soderbergh compared Zeta-Jones to Ava Gardner, telling Reuters, "[Catherine] can be glamorous when she wants to, and she can be a human, life-sized character and still be compelling."

Critic Reviews
"Steven Soderbergh's great, despairing squall of a film [infuses] epic cinematic form with jittery new rhythms and a fresh, acid-washed palette....The performances, by an ensemble from which not a false note issues, have the clarity and force of pithy instrumental solos insistently piercing through a dense cacaphony..."
New York Times
"...[A] consistently credible drama..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
USA Today
Ranked #3 in Entertainment Weekly's "Owen Gleiberman's BEST MOVIES OF 2000"
Entertainment Weekly
"...Multi-layered plotting and plenty of pleasing technical flourishes....Douglas is superb..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
Total Film
"...Its vigorous, unjaded rush of imagery and story makes for an exciting visual experience..."
Sight and Sound
"...Soderbergh deftly weaves together four stories depicting the causes and effects of the illegal drug trade..."
Box Office
"...The whole thing feels remarkably fresh, vibrant and new....The movie is adult, intelligent, sweeping yet intimate, nail-bitingly suspenseful, buoyed by an impeccable, uniformly powerhouse cast, and it provides a real perspective on a real issue..."
"...A mosaic of heightened reality....A picture fascinating in its complexit....The technical contributions are adroit and stylish..."
Hollywood Reporter
"...Complex and ambitious....Yet another indication of how accomplished a filmmaker Steven Soderbergh has become..."

Mahāparinibbāna Sutta
5.1. The Lord said: 'Ānanda, let us cross the Hiraññavatī River and go to the Mallas' sāl-grove in the vicinity of Kusinārā.'
'Very good, Lord', said Ānanda, and the Lord, with a large company of monks, crossed the river and went to the sāl-grove.
There the Lord said: 'Ānanda, prepare me a bed between these twin sāl-trees with my head to the north. I am tired and want to lie down.'
'Very good, Lord', said Ānanda, and did so.
Then the Lord lay down on his right side in the lion-posture, placing one foot on the other, mindful and dearly aware.
Does anyone know what is the or is there any significance of the bolded part?

Phytophthora: destructive parasitic fungi causing brown rot in plants.
Phytophthora are a large goup of pathogens that cause diseases in plants, including many species of tree. The name is derived from Greek and literally means 'plant destroyer' from phyto (plant) and phthora (destroyer).
Phytophthora films
Videos - the threat to trees, woods and forest plants from Phytophthora ramorum and Phytophthora kernoviae and how their spread can be prevented.
Phytophthora alni
Phytophthora alni is highly specific to alder trees, species commonly found on riverbanks thanks to their preference for cool, damp sites. It was first identified in Britain in 1993, and has been the cause of mortality in many thousands of alder trees throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
Phytophthora austrocedri
Phytophthora austrocedri is a rare form of phytophthora that was in 2011 confirmed by Forest Research scientists as the cause of dieback and mortality in juniper bushes in the Moor House - Upper Teesdale Natural Nature Reserve in the North Pennines of England. It had previously mostly only been associated with decline of Chilean cedars (Austrocedrus chilensis) in the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina.
Phytophthora kernoviae
Phytophthora kernoviae is a more recent discovery that so far has only been found in Britain, Ireland and New Zealand. It has been found to cause damage to some tree species, including beech and pedunculate or 'English' oak (Quercus robur), although so far it has affected very few trees in Britain.
Phytophthora lateralis
Phytophthora lateralis was first identified in Great Britain in 2010. It particularly affects Lawson cypress trees (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana), and kills most of those that it infects. It is the main cause of mortality in Lawson cypress in its native range in south-western Oregon and north-western California.
Phytophthora ramorum
Phytophthora ramorum has caused extensive damage to native trees and plants in parts of the USA. It has also been found in European countries, including the United Kingdom, but mostly on plants and shrubs such as rhododendron and bilberry. Few trees in Britain were affected until 2009, when it was found infecting, and sporulating (producing reproductive spores) on, large numbers of Japanese larch trees in South West England, and in 2010 on Japanese larches in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Back to Melbourne and to the suburb of Carnegie. Koornang Road is becoming quite a gem for us when it comes to easy and free fuss meals. It all started off with a friend taking us there for a meal of Korean-Chinese cuisine then we were recommended Auntie Dumplings, then packed home some bagels from Huff Bagelry and now Shyun.
A fuss free Japanese place that has a Japanese running the sushi / sashimi section (always a plus point for me) but is packed to the brim even on a weekday night. Coming here without a booking was quite the mistake, having to wait close to 20-25 minutes before we got seated. So you have been warned. Plus the waiting time continues when it comes to food too.
The soft shell crab maki was not too bad, crispy crab encased in decent sushi rice.
The star for the night, the chirashi sushi. I believe there isn't a fix price on the menu for this dish but I recall paying around $20 - $25 that night. For that price, I was rewarded handsomely with a range of seafood that had been prepare meticulously by the sushi chef. Better part was because the restaurant was packed like sardines and the kitchen was obviously battling backlog of orders, this came out pretty quickly.
Overall, if you stay away from the raw stuff, I think one can have a decent meal of Japanese here for under $20, just make sure you call and book a table in advance.
Address and contact details:
Verdict: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. Just what we have been finding, an average priced Japanese restaurant, just a pity everyone thinks the same.

About when is the usual cut of date for harvesting honey in the north and giving the bees enough time to pack the hive full to overwinterJohn
JimThe goldenrod is starting here and we will have some other sources for another month.I will be pulling all my full supers tomorrow to extract but as I am still fairly new at bee keeping [3rd year] I was wondering what time line other keepers fallowed in the fall.John
Thanks Jim - That's good advise. I extracted mine today. They still have about half a super of partially capped honey [on each hive] that I will place over the inner cover
or under the brood nest so they can rob it back.
Otherwise I will check on there stores about the middle of September and feed until it gets to cold.John

After the end of communism, there was hope in Russia that a new day was a-borning in which freedom of speech and the press would now be part of the nation's experience. But, the arrival of Putin, first to the presidency, and now as prime minister has unleashed forces of hate and violence which stifle the expression of free ideas. The newspaper, Novay Gazeta, has been particularly the target of right wing nationalists who have killed with impunity because the Putin government sits back and smiles when another journalist is silenced by death. Yelena Kostyuchenko, a 21 year old journalist put it this way, "Every two years we lose somebody. But you just have to write, write, write and keep writing. You have to." The alternative is allowing Putin's thugs to decide what Russians read.
Since 2000, at least 16 journalists have been murdered in a contract killing style slaying. The killers in most cases just disappear into the void of inattention on the part of authorities. These days, an outspoken reporter in Russia takes self defense classes or hires a bodyguard. Such is life in "democratic Russia" in the era of Putin.

Obama thanks Singapore PM for military co-operation
Related topics
President Barack Obama on Tuesday thanked Singapore for its military cooperation as the US prepares to rotate ships through the prosperous city state to boost its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
Obama met with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the third Asian leader to visit the White House this year, as President Barack Obama pursues closer ties with countries in the region in his second term.
Singapore is a close defence and economic partner of the US, and later this month, the US will begin rotational deployments of Navy vessels there. That's part of the Obama administration's "pivot" to the Asia-Pacific region as the US disentangles itself from a decade of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We have extremely close military cooperation. And I want to thank Singapore for all the facilities that they provide that allow us to maintain our effective Pacific presence," Obama told reporters.
Defence cuts at home and turmoil in the Middle East have raised doubts in Asia about the US ability to sustain that strategic rebalance to the region. But Obama made his diplomatic priorities clear by traveling to Myanmar, Cambodia and Thailand soon after his November re-election, and then by hosting the leaders of Japan and Brunei. South Korea's new president will visit in May.
It was Lee Hsien Loong's first Oval Office meeting in six years and comes as the US pushes for completion by fall of a trans-Pacific free trade pact. Singapore is one of 11 countries taking part in the negotiations. The US and Singapore already have a bilateral free trade pact, and Obama described the Southeast Asian state as an "outstanding" economic partner.
Lee said Singapore is very happy that the Obama administration has been putting greater emphasis on its relations with Asia, including on economic matters, and on its relations with China.
Lee is the eldest son of Singapore's founding prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew. He last visited the US for a nuclear security summit in 2010. He is also addressing the US Chamber of Commerce Tuesday, and will travel to New York City and meet later this week with Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Underscoring the Obama administration's efforts to sustain its Asian diplomacy, the foreign ministers of two US treaty allies in the region, the Philippines and South Korea, were also in Washington Tuesday for meetings with Secretary of State John Kerry.
Kerry travels to Northeast Asia next week, amid concerns over North Korea's bellicose rhetoric and warnings that it plans to restart shuttered nuclear facilities.
On Tuesday, when he met Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario, Kerry also expressed deep US concern about tensions in the South China Sea, where several Southeast Asian nations have been unnerved by assertive actions by China. Kerry called for the territorial disputes there worked out through arbitration.
In a statement after the meeting, Del Rosario said Kerry gave assurances the US committed to supporting Philippine efforts "to settle the disputes peacefully and in accordance with the rule of law."
In January, the Philippines notified China it was seeking arbitration in their territorial dispute under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. It wants China's claims to virtually the entire South China Sea declared unlawful.

IP address
Internet Protocol address
(pronounced: I-P address)
A numeric address that is given to servers and users connected to the Internet. For servers, it is translated into a domain name, by a Domain Name Server (DNS). For users, it is assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) when the user goes online. This IP address might be the same number each time you log on (called a static IP), or it might be a newly assigned number each time you connect, based on what's available. Most Internet users prefer the static IP because some Internet telephony programs, for example, such as CUSeeMe, need your current IP address to make a connection.
An IP address can be traced back to the user. This is a method used in gathering evidence in cases of cyberfraud, and often times can lead to a criminal conviction.
Update: A lack of IP addresses by 2010-2011 could mean some computers and other devices won't be able to get online. Vinton Cerf has warned that the number of IP address is finite and Internet service providers should quickly switch to a new system.

"How come America put a man on the moon 45 years ago but still has not produced decent online banking?" asked recently on Twitter Michał Panowicz, mBank's Managing Director for Products, Digital Channels and Marketing and one of the speakers at last week's Net Finance Conference. As provocative as the question is, Panowicz is in a strong position to ask it. After some big investments in the bank's online and mobile offering, the bank has just announced record profits for the first quarter of 2014. Digital innovation is obviously paying off. But once you're on that road, there's no turning back. You can't "undisrupt" yourself.
As my colleague Benjamin Ensor wrote some time ago, innovation often happens in clusters.This means that innovation by one company causes its competitors to not only match it but also to try to leapfrog it — resulting in rapid cycles of innovation. This is what is happening in Poland right now. During my trip there last week, a few bank executives told me of the increasing internal and external pressure not to fall behind digital innovation. There a couple of other reasons why Poland is a great testing ground for new financial services ideas; it has:

The daggers are approximately made as follows. The basic shape of the blade is made by a laser CNC machine. It is burned from spring steel. The semi-finished blade follows then in the groove cutter, where the cutting edge and the groove are milled. The blade is then oil-quenched and tempered to the desired hardness. Then the guard and pommel is attached to the blade tang. The tang is usually peened at the end (behind the pommel) and the cross-guard hard soldered with brass. Hardwood plates are placed under the handle wrapping from genuine cowhide so that the handle is sufficiently robust for a safe grasp. The steels surfaces obtain the desired finish in the end - with a wire brush or with a felt disc with polishing paste.

Experimental Alzheimer's drug shows promise in small, early-phase clinical studies
Posiphen, a drug candidate designed and developed by researchers in the NIA's Intramural Research Program, has been shown in three small, early studies to be well-tolerated and to reduce the generation of amyloid and tau protein—the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease—in older people at risk for developing the disorder. The series of dosing, tolerability, and "proof of mechanism" studies was conducted by an international group of investigators testing a pill form of the drug Posiphen during trials of seven to ten days in healthy volunteers and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that often progresses to Alzheimer's. The report of the research appeared online July 11, 2012 in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.
Posiphen was determined to readily enter the brain and in cerebrospinal fluid tests, scientists found that the drug lowered levels of amyloid, tau, and inflammation—all key targets in the effort to find therapies for Alzheimer's. Researchers believe the drug may work by inhibiting the production of neurotoxic products that derive from amyloid precursor protein, or APP, and result in the accumulation of abnormal clumps of amyloid. While the finding is preliminary, it does provide key data to move the drug forward for further human testing.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Street Bump Network
Our speakers this week are Chris Osgood and James Soloman from
the Boston Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics. They will
talk about one of their new initiatives called Street Bump Network.
Street Bump is a crowd-sourcing project that helps residents
improve their neighborhood streets. Street Bump provides the City
with information on the condition of the transportation
infrastructure in order to prioritize repairs and plan long term
investments. Based on promising initial results, the City is
exploring a broader range of uses for the tool–-road condition
assessments, improving driver safety, and enabling higher
utilization of existing transportation infrastructure–-and, funding
opportunities to expand utilization of Street Bump.
Chris co-founded the Office of New Urban Mechanics, bringing to the office nearly ten years of experience in city government. Much of his work during that time focused on designing operations and policies that help cities engage constituents. The Office of New Urban Mechanics serves as an innovation incubator, building partnerships between City agencies and outside institutions and entrepreneurs to pilot projects in Boston that address resident and business needs. Before joining the City of Boston, Chris earned his MBA from Harvard after serving for 5 years in the NYC Parks & Recreation Department as its Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor.
James is the Director of the Street Bump Network. James earned his Master in Public Policy from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. During graduate school, he created a performance management system for Mayor Cory Booker in Newark, NJ. He has also been a teacher and community outreach worker.

Four Renowned Personalities to Receive Honorary Degrees from LesleyPaul Reville, Liz Walker, Graham Nash and David McCullough
Friday, April 26, 2013
Founded in 1909, Lesley University expects to confer 2,174 degrees and 60 certificates this year, including 23 PhD's, 1,674 Master's, and 468 Bachelor's.
The ceremony for Lesley's two graduate schools will be held from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m., and graduates will be addressed by Honorary Degree recipients Paul Reville, former Secretary of Education for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and a member of the Senior Faculty at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education; and Reverend Liz Walker, an Emmy Award-winning television journalist, documentary film producer, humanitarian and co-founder of My Sister's Keeper, an advocacy organization for women and children in Sudan.
The ceremony for Lesley's two undergraduate schools will be held from 2 – 4 p.m., and graduates will be addressed by Honorary Degree recipients Graham Nash, legendary singer-songwriter and co-founder of the Grammy Award-winning group Crosby, Stills & Nash; and David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award.
"In markedly different ways, each of this year's Honorary Degree recipients exemplifies the values that define a Lesley education: enhancing our culture through multifaceted arts and academics, building stronger communities and schools, and a passion for public service," said Lesley University President Joseph B. Moore.
"We look forward to welcoming these accomplished individuals as they share their experiences with our graduates."
David McCullough – A prolific author and historian, David McCullough has won the Pulitzer Prize twice, the National Book Award twice, and has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He has been an editor, essayist, teacher, lecturer and familiar presence on public television, as host of "Smithsonian World, The American Experience," and narrator of numerous documentaries including Ken Burns's "The Civil War." His is also the narrator's voice in the movie "Seabiscuit." His most recent book, "The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris," is a New York Times bestseller, and his biography of John Adams, published in 2001, is hailed as one of the most widely read American biographies of all time. An avid reader, traveler, painter and speaker, McCullough has lectured throughout the country – including at the White House – and abroad. His awards include the Francis Parkman Prize, the National Book Foundation Distinguished Contribution to American Letters Award, and the National Humanities Medal.
Graham Nash – One of music's most legendary singer-songwriters and vocal harmonists, Graham Nash is a founding member of the Grammy Award-winning group Crosby, Stills & Nash. Among the classic songs he composed for the band are "Teach Your Children" and "Our House." Nash has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: once with The Hollies, in 2010; and once with Crosby, Stills & Nash, in 1997. Nash was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2009. A photographer and digital imaging pioneer, Nash established Nash Editions in 1990, recognized by the Smithsonian for its role in the invention of digital fine art printing. His passionate voice continues to be heard in support of peace, and social and environmental justice. Born in Blackpool, England, Nash was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth in 2010. He is currently writing his memoir, which will be released this September. Photo credit: Eleanor Stills
Paul Reville – Paul Reville served nearly five years as the Secretary of Education for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and is a Professor of Practice and a member of the Senior Faculty at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education.

text: Our bunny Trixie died today -- one day shy of her sixth birthday. Unlike her companion bunny, she had been healthy from the day we adopted her as a rescue, over five years ago. Never ever sick. Last Friday I noticed she wasn't racing over to get a treat as she usually does, and it bothered me; I made a mental note to get her a vet checkup on Monday. Saturday night I realized she definitely had eaten nothing all day (it can be hard to tell since I have two buns), so I took her to the animal hospital on an emergency basis. This started a crazy few days in which my sister and I took her back and forth to the vet, where they gave her subcutaneous fluids and prescribed antibiotics. We cradled her, administered medicine, tried to force-feed her, cleaned off the diarrhea (sorry), sang to her, tried to will her to live. All to no avail. Tuesday we had her admitted to the hospital for overnight IV fluids and medicines, figuring they were better equipped to turn things around. This morning I got a call from the vet, telling me Trixie had gotten much, much worse. The IV fluids weren't processed by her kidneys, instead they pooled around her lungs, making it difficult for her to breathe. I went to visit, and she was totally prostrate, couldn't even lift her head, let alone sit up. I knew it was over. We reluctantly authorized the vet to put her to sleep this evening. We were there, kissing and petting her while it happened. It was so hard to watch her die, even though it was quick. I am beyond heartbroken. How does one heal a big gaping wound in one's heart? And how does one stop replaying and second-guessing all the decisions made? I truly feel like an unfit bun-mom. If only I had noticed she wasn't eating a little sooner. Then I could have gotten her to the vet a little sooner and it might have made a difference. Trixie was healthy, strong and not old. She deserved at least a few more years of frolicking around my apartment with my other bunny. They were a bonded pair and he's going to be totally lost without her.

Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5? It's a tough question, and there are vocal advocates and detractors on both sides of the Apple/Android divide.
The Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 were the two most successful phones of 2012 and are still the some of the hottest mobiles in the world, but which should you buy?
Galaxy S4 is available to buy, and improves upon the S3 in almost every way.
For more, read our Galaxy S4 vs Galaxy S3 feature.
However, the iPhone 5 is still the latest Apple phone. It's not likely to be nudged into the past until September, when the iPhone 5S is expected to launch.
We've now spent several months with both these phones and understand what it's like living with them and using them day to day. We've also compared their specs, screens, software, apps and media skills to give you an expert and impartial assessment and help you decide whether the iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S3 is right for you.
There's even more to choice now. Make sure you also read our Samsung Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5 comparison.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Price and Deals
The positive side of being an 'old' phone is that some great Galaxy S3 deals are available - you can get hold of one for a good deal less than you have to pay for an iPhone 5.
Shop around and you'll find the Galaxy S3 for free on contracts of £20 a month. From Carphone Warehouse, you can buy the S3 with a decent T-Mobile contract that costs £21 a month, which includes 1GB mobile internet, 500 texts and 100 minutes. The cheapest robust iPhone 5 contracts that get you a free phone cost £33 a month.
SIM-free there are similar price disparities. The 16GB iPhone 5 costs £529.99 direct from Apple, and the Galaxy S3 is currently a mere £349.99 on Pay As You Go from Three at the moment.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Video Comparison
If you want a detailed analysis of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5, you should read on below but you can also see the both phones in action and next to each other in our video review.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Design
iPhone 5 - 7.6mm thick, metal casing, non-removable battery
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 8.6mm thick, plastic casing, removable battery
A case of metal versus plastic, and hard lines against smoother curves, the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 have quite different approaches to handset design. The two iPhone models released prior to the iPhone 5 featured glass panels on the front and rear, which gave the phone's a hard, solid feel. However, rear glass plate has now been replaced with metal - aluminium.
This marks an even greater shift in design than a simple switch of glass for metal, as the previous iPhone 4S used steel for its metallic parts, rather than aluminium. Steel is harder, but also heavier. The use of aluminium is what lets the iPhone 5 slim down to 112g and 7.6 thick. It's a very slim and light phone.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has slightly less of an obsession with being small and thin, and it's structurally closer to its forebears than the iPhone 5 is. It's a plastic-bodied phone – another design choice that help keeps weight down – with a removable rear battery cover.
Much of the criticism the Samsung Galaxy S3 has received since its launch in May 2012 is down to this plastic battery cover. It's perilously thin, which becomes especially noticeable when you take the thing off to access the phone's battery or microSD memory card slot.
Real-world testing of the ruggedness shows that there's nothing wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S3's construction, though.
A few months ago, Android Authority produced a neat little video showing the torture of these two phones. You can see the results below.
The iPhone 5 survives a little better, but it's the glass screen covering of the Samsung Galaxy S3 that takes more of a pounding than the plastic frame. Both phones use toughened glass as their front armour. The Samsung Galaxy S3 uses Corning Gorilla Glass II, the iPhone 5 a comparable form of toughened glass.
Both phones are tough, despite feeling lightweight (iPhone 5) and a touch plasticky (Samsung Galaxy S3) in-hand.
The shapes of the phones are quite different, though. With a more widescreen-aspect display, the iPhone 5 is a good deal less wide - 58.6mm against the Samsung Galaxy S3's 70.6mm. This is one of the most compelling design reasons to choose a Galaxy S3 over the iPhone 5 for people with smaller hands.
Sheer size means that most people will have to stretch to reach from one side of the Galaxy S3 screen to the other, one-handed. And it gets surprisingly annoying.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 wins a point back for its fairly wide choice of finishes. The iPhone 5 is only available in two colours, black and white. The Galaxy S3 comes in white, black, blue, red, grey and brown.
iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S3 - Audio
iPhone 5 – 38S1077 Cirrus audio codec, No Apt-X, mono speaker
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Wolfson DAC, Apt-X Bluetooth, mono speaker
Like your music? The audio internals of phones aren't talked about much, compared to – say – their cameras. But search hard enough and you can find out exactly what bits and bobs they use.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a particularly impressive DAC, which converts your digital music files into the analogue signal that comes out of the headphone jack. The iPhone 5 has a custom DAC using the Cirrus Logic 38S1077 class-D headphone amp.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is the clear audio winner. Not only is its DAC superior, it also supports Apt-X. This is a high-quality Bluetooth codec, for use with higher-end Bluetooth headphones like the Sennheiser MM 550.
When using the standard SBC Bluetooth codec to stream audio, as the iPhone 5 has to do, there's a noticeable loss of fidelity, much like listening to a lower-quality MP3 file. Apt-X is near-lossless. If you've spent a lot of cash on a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headphones, this is something to consider.
Back to the core hardware, both phones have mono internal speakers. On an iPhone 5, you'll find the speaker grilles on the bottom edge – two of them. On a Samsung Galaxy S3, the speaker is up by the camera lens.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Price and Deals
iPhone 5 – From £529 SIM-free, or £36 a month on contract
Samsung Galaxy S3 – From £391 SIM-free, or £30 a month on contract
Now that both the Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 are at least a few months old, the benefits of not buying Apple have become very clear. The price of the Samsung Galaxy S3 has steadily dropped since May, but in most places the iPhone 5 has maintained its initial high cost.
SIM-free the 16GB iPhone 5 costs £529, while the 16GB Samsung Galaxy S3 sells at around £390-400. Slightly better deals are commonly available online if you search around too, letting you save a few quid extra with a bit of effort.
The price difference continues in contract deals. One of our favourite deals available at present for the Samsung galaxy S3 is the Tesco £30-a-month contract. It gets you the phone for free, 500 minutes, 5000 texts and 1GB of data a month. Comparable deals are available from the other main carriers too.
Similar deals on the iPhone 5 tend to cost around £5 more a month. It's not a wallet-sucking extra expense, but do consider how much this might add up to over a two-year contract - £120. That's almost exactly the price difference between the SIM-free cost of the phones.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Screen
iPhone 5 - 4in IPS, 1,136 x 640 resolution
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 4.8in Super AMOLED, 1,280 x 720 resolution
Cards on the table time – both the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 have excellent screens. However, they're about as different as top-end smartphone screens get.
The iPhone 5's is more widescreen, letting the display expand without making the phone any wider than the iPhone 4S. Less concerned with keeping the phone palm-friendly, the 720p 4.8-inch monster screen of the Samsung Galaxy S3 does not compromise on size.
What's more important from a comparison perspective is the screen technology working underneath. The iPhone 5 uses an IPS (in-plane switching) screen, the Samsung Galaxy S3 a Super AMOLED panel.
Each excels at different things. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is the king of contrast. In a dark room, the black areas on the phone's screen will look much more convincing than the iPhone 5's, which will take on a slightly grey-ish hue. Rich colours and deep blacks are what characterise the Samsung Galaxy S3's screen.
However, the IPS screen of the iPhone 5's maximum brightness is more dazzling, which is handy if you want to use the phone outdoors. Its surface is a little less reflective to boot and colours appear more natural, as Super AMOLED displays often oversaturate colours to show off what they're capable of.
Sharpness is slightly better in the iPhone 5 too. Although the pixel densities of the displays are comparable, 306dpi for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and 326dpi for the iPhone 5, the Samsung Galaxy S3 uses a PenTile pixel construction. This is an uneven subpixel array that makes text look slightly fuzzy.
Samsung claims that a PenTile-style display increases the lifespan of screens, but as it ironed-out the problem in the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, it clearly sees there is an issue here. The Note 2 has a full-RGB subpixel structure, avoiding the PenTile sharpness problem.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Software
iPhone 5 - iOS 6
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, w/ TouchWiz
Whether or not you want iOS or Android is just as important as the picking between the hardware of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5. The cleanest distillation of their differences is that iOS is simple but a little restricted, Android is harder to get to grips with, but more flexible and feature-packed.
The iPhone 5 runs iOS version 6. Although the system is known for its streamlined, largely bug-free nature, Apple's iOS 6 was a fraught launch. It saw Apple replace Google Maps with its own mapping solution, single-handedly making the iPhone 5 a bit useless as a navigation tool. Apple's maps are not good, packed full of out-of-date and plain wrong information. However, now that Google Maps has been released as a separate app for iPhones, iOS is back on track.
Other than its simple, app icon based home screens, iOS doesn't offer quite as many features as the Samsung Galaxy S3's Android, though. The Samsung phone has more bells and whistles than a fleet of old-timey steam trains, including gesture navigation, face unlock, gesture typing, an FM tuner, AllShare video streaming, NFC sharing, video multitasking and more.
Some of these are added through TouchWiz, the interface Samsung has laid upon basic Android in the Galaxy S3. For the full run-down of neat features, check out our list of the top 50 Galaxy S3 tips and tricks.
The iPhone 5's list of extra features is much shorter, and they're mirrored in the Galaxy S3 anyway. Siri is the voice assistant that lets you search the internet, check movie times and run apps without touching the screen. However, the Samsung Galaxy S3's S Voice can perform similar feats.
iOS 6 also offers Passbook, which is a repository for things like online vouchers, virtual cinema tickets and so on, but it's virtually useless in the UK at present and NFC-enabled apps for the Samsung Galaxy S3 have a great deal more potential.
Things aren't looking too hot for iOS. However, for simple day-to-day use it remains an excellent, easy and quick system. And many of the Samsung Galaxy S3's extra frills can feel unnecessary. For those relatively new to technology, we recommend iOS over Android.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Apps and Games
iPhone 5 – App Store, 700,000 apps
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Google Play, 700,000 apps
The Google Play store is rapidly catching up with the Apple App Store in terms of sheer volume of apps and games. In late 2012, both stores revealed that the number of apps available had hit the 700,000 mark. However, quality is much more important than quality in this field, and here the Apple App Store still has a clear lead.
The wealth of creativity apps available on the Apple App Store in particular is worth a mention. Music creation tools like the official Korg iKaossilator and Apple's own Garageband do not have worth alternatives on Android, and it's unlikely a top dev will fork out to fill this gap any time soon.
Games trail behind on Android too. Developers tend to use iPhone editions as their lead SKUs – the version that is developed first – because the iPhone gaming market is simply much more valuable commercially than Android's. Android games are often effectively copies, known as ports, of iPhone originals.
There is an app advantage to using an Android device, though. You can manually install apps using their respective APK installer files – this is called side-loading. Download them with a computer, pop them on a microSD card, put it in the Samsung Galaxy S3 and you can load them from the phone's file explorer app. With an iPhone 5, you can only install apps from the official App Store unless you hack the phone.
Side-loading of apps lets you circumvent the restrictions applied on official app stores, each of which has a set of guidelines that often means apps are pulled or not allowed on the store's shelves in the first place. However, this also circumvents the light security checks that go on at the Google Play store (apps with dodgy malware are quickly removed, in theory) and you could easily end up with an Android virus.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Power
iPhone 5 – Apple A6 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, triple-core PowerVR SGX 543MP3 GPU, 1GB RAM
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Exynos 4412 1.4GHz Quad-core CPU, Mali-400MP GPU, 1GB RAM
When thinking about processing power, there are two sides to consider. You can assess raw power through benchmarks, and how well developers have put the power to good use.
Starting with raw power, in the Geekbench benchmarking tool, the Exynos 4412 processor of the Samsung Galaxy S3 beats the iPhone 5. It scores 1720 points against the iPhone 5's 1660. Geekbench is designed to comprehensively test a device's processing power.
Galaxy S3 wins the Geekbench CPU test battle
The Galaxy S3 doesn't win every benchmark challenge, though. In the Sunspider Java benchmark, which roughly judges web browsing speed, the iPhone 5 is significantly faster, completing the test in 915ms against the Samsung Galaxy S3's 1143ms. Predictably, then, the iPhone 5 also beats the Samsung Galaxy S3 in the similar Browsermark test. It scored roughly 190,000 points, against the Galaxy S3's 172,000.
Testing the GPUs of the phones, the iPhone 5 wins once more. In the GLBenchmark 2.5 fill test, the iPhone 5 trotted out an impressive 1797 MTexels/sec to the Galaxy S3's 781 MTexels/sec - not that much more than an iPhone 4S.
...but GLBenchmark's GPU tool is a solid win for iPhone 5 (M/texels/sec)
This power is put to better use in an iPhone too, because of a situation we already mentioned when discussing apps and games. As the iPhone gaming market is more lucrative than Android, games are often made for iPhones first, rather than Androids, and if a device's full potential is to be realised, it'll be the iPhone 5's.
Of course, there's an extent to which developers have to keep in mind the "limited" power reserves of the millions of iPhone 4s and iPhone 4Ss out there too. The iPhone 5 dev scene isn't perfect, but it is healthy.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Connectivity
iPhone 5 – Lightning port, 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi, 3G/4G,
Samsung Galaxy S3 – microUSB port, MHL w/adapter, Wi-Fi, 3G (4G option available), Wi-FI Direct, NFC
Connectivity in these phones sums-up the differing approaches of Samsung and Apple. Apple's connectivity is almost all proprietary. The new Apple Lightning port, the main connector of the iPhone 5, is used across most of Apple's mobile devices these days, but you won't find it elsewhere. The iPhone 5 has 3G and 4G connectivity, but while it has a form of Wi-Fi Direct, it's not the standard type that'll work with other devices.
But, hey, at least it has a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has much better, more open connections. It uses the industry-standard microUSB port, with MHL compatibility. This lets you output video and audio from the phone to a TV, letting it function as a dinky little lounge media player.
Wireless connectivity is great too. AllShare lets you fire over music and video to Samsung TVs and Blu-ray players using your home Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct makes transferring files with other up-to-date devices quick and easy, and it has NFC too.
NFC is the latest darling of the wireless connectivity world. It stands for Near-Field Communication and can already be used to pay for some small items on the high street, without the use of a credit card or cash. We are talking about paying for cups of coffee at present, though.
This is an easy win for the "everything including the kitchen sink" Samsung Galaxy S3.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Storage
iPhone 5 – 16/32/64GB non-expandable
Samsung Galaxy S3 – 16/32GB (64GB exists but not widely available), expandable via microSD
Again, the Samsung Galaxy S3 wins on storage. The iPhone 5 offers a good range of options, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, but those extra gigabytes cost you a lot of extra cash. Want a 64GB iPhone? That'll be £699.
There's no way to increase the internal storage of an iPhone 5, either, so you'll have to rely on cloud storage if you need more.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes in fewer storage flavours in the UK than elsewhere. Most retailers sell the 16GB edition, although a 32GB has also been available from Vodafone (it's not available to buy at the time of writing). A 64GB edition of the Samsung Galaxy S3 has been produced, but there just isn't the demand for one in the UK and consequently they are near-impossible to buy.
Why? It's because expanding the memory with a microSD memory card is a good deal cheaper. Underneath the plastic battery cover of the phone is a microSD slot that'll take cards up to 64GB. A class 10 64GB microSD card can be bought for around £40 these days – giving you an 80GB phone for less than the cost of a 16GB iPhone 5.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Cameras
iPhone 5 – 8MP, LED flash, user-facing camera
Samsung Galaxy S3 – 8MP, LED flash, user-facing camera
Specs-wise, the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3 cameras are near-identical. Both have 8-megapixel sensors with an LED flash a piece. However, the approaches of their camera apps are completely different.
The iPhone 5 camera interface is stripped-back and simple. Your only control is over whether HDR mode is enabled, whether you want to take a panorama photo or not, and if the screen grid is enabled or not.
HDR melds two exposures to reveal more detail in photos taken in difficult lighting situations, panorama takes a full-resolution 240-degree view of your surroundings and grid is a preview overlay that lets you line-up your shot with the horizon.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 offers many, many more options – along with the panorama and HDR modes the iPhone 5 supplies. Many of these options are things that the iPhone does behind-the-scenes anyway, such as stabilisation and face detection. But not all are.
Useful extra features include burst mode and resolution settings.
In practice, the iPhone 5 wins out for pure photo quality. It grabs that bit more detail, has slightly more natural-looking colour and less invasive upping of contrast. The Samsung Galaxy S3 LED flash is more powerful, however.
Both phones offer a good-quality user-facing camera for video chat over Skype/FaceTime.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Media Skills
iPhone 5 – Limited codec support, restricted file transfers
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Excellent codec support, free file transfers
One of the clearest wins for the Samsung Galaxy S3 is media support. It can play a wide array of audio and video formats, including lossless FLAC tracks and MKV videos. Media fiends will be in heaven.
The iPhone 5 only handles a severely limited range of formats. Most videos downloaded from the net will need to be transcoded before the native video app will be able to play them.
Any limitations in video skills can usually be plugged-in with third-party apps, though, for both of these phones.
No matter which media app you use, transferring files is simpler with a Samsung Galaxy S3. Plug the phone into a computer and its internal memory will show up as a disk drive, letting you drag and drop files. With an iPhone, you need to hook up to iTunes.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Battery
iPhone 5 – 1440mAh, non-removable
Samsung Galaxy S3 – 2100mAh, removable
Battery stamina is a hard thing to measure in phones, because we use them for such a wide array of tasks. However, the pure numbers show that the Samsung Galaxy S3 undeniably has a much larger main unit than the iPhone 5, 2100mAh against the iPhone's 1440mAh
Set to constant tasks, such as web browsing, the Samsung Galaxy S3 wins. Consumer advocate Which? Set the phones to web browse the web constantly until their batteries gave up. The Galaxy S3 lasted for 359 minutes, while the iPhone 5 conked out after a mere 200. Ouch.
In general use, the difference is less marked. With 3G engaged, you'll need to charge the devices every other day, or every day with intense use.
An additional benefit of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is that you can carry around a charged spare if you're going to be away from a power socket for a while. Official batteries are available for around £15, or third-party knock-offs can be bought from eBay for just a few pounds.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Accessories
iPhone 5 – Lightning connector, charger plug, EarPod headphones
Samsung Galaxy S3 – microUSB cable, charger plug, Samsung earphones
What else do you get in the box? The iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S3 offer almost identical accessories. They offer their respective cables, a plug to jam them into for charging, and a pair of earphones a piece.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 offers reasonable-quality IEM-style earphones – these use rubber tips to give you some degree of noise isolation from the outside world. Apple's EarPods are a bit more interesting. They replace the earbuds Apple has offered with its phones and players for years, using a design that's in-between an earbud and an IEM pair.
Apple EarPods
EarPods have hard plastic outer shells that roughly plug your ear canal, although not enough to isolate like Samsung's IEM pair. They offer significantly improved audio quality over Apple's previous models, though. For more on EarPods, check out our full Apple EarPods review.
Choosing between an iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 is a tough decision and – unlike some of the comparisons we do – there's no clear overall winner. For those less interested in the tech, the iPhone 5 is much easier to use, easier to hold and is more robust. However, tech fans may well find the Samsung Galaxy S3 easier, thanks to its relative open-ness, micro-SD card slot and lack of restrictions.
For games, the iPhone 5 wins, as it does for its camera, by a whisker. However, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is a much better media player, with much greater codec support and more flexibility as to how it can bung video over to a television.
If money is an issue, though, the Samsung Galaxy S3 takes the lead, with at least £120 savings to be made.

So I've noticed that I am now much less attracted to generic Marilyn Monroe esq. American girls, and much more attracted to litterally ANY type of foreign girl, like even eastern European even though they look just like a lot of Americans haha. In the states girls always go crazy for guys with British or Australian accents, so I'm wondering if in other countries they feel the same about Americans?
At this point I'm just so bored with the idea of Americans, that Im mostly just interested in the differences of culture versus America, and foreign girls just tend to be more intelligent and intriguing. I want to study abroad, so this has kind of been in the back of my head too, opinions, thoughts? (lets not get this thread locked lol)
