Must Read Classics
Does anybody have any suggestions for good classic literature?
Anything by Jane Austen is awesome!
How about George Orwell? 1984.
Jerzy Kosinski, Being There.
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace
Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment (LOVED this)
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
my mind just went blank. more later. :)
these aren't august nominations are they? :oops:
I second Jane Austen and "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Dickens is good, too.
No I was just wondering what everbody liked to read. I'm on a huge reading kick right now and since I finished the Illiad I'm looking for something else to fill the void.
I'm on a bit of a reading kick right now too, classics, biographies and 'chick-lit'. I've just realised that there are at least three books involving a girl who marries a laird and goes to live in a castle in Scotland. What is it with this particular plotline?
I know you asked for classics, but I thought I'd write a list of books I've particularly enjoyed. =) Sometimes it's nice to read something that's not too demanding. =)
1984 by George Orwell is a great read, as is Animal Farm.
One of my favourite books is Chocolat, by Joanne Harris. I've starting reading another of her books..I think it's called the Five Quarters of the Orange (something like that anyway).
It always amazes me that people like Jane Austen. I've tried really hard to get into her books, but I find them so boring.
Bridget Jones's Diary and The Edge of Reason by someone Fielding are very funny.
Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis De Bernieres is also very good, especially if you like poignant historical novels.
I'll write more as I think of them.
I'm chuckling, though . . . so many people hate Mr. D. because of their high school English classes . . . they'd probably agree that &%$@#! is just about right for him. (grin)
Papayahead-are you at all interested in continuing on the same vein?
If so, I recommend The Odyssey and The Aeneid, as they tie in to The Iliad.
I just bought 100 Years of Solitude, 100 Anos de Soledad and a Spanish-English dictionary. I *know* there are Spanish student versions of the book, which have explanatory notes in English with the text in Spanish, but looked and looked and couldn't find them (including on sites recommended on this board, which were awesome sites!) so I gave up and decided to buy the book in English and Spanish with a dictionary, and I'll just sturggle through.
I also bought A Clockwork Orange. No one else seemed to want it for a book discussion group book, so I'm going to just read it on my own.
I actually liked Heart of Darkness. That may make me wierd, but....
The Pearl is a good book for a classic which isn't European.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is actually considered non-fiction, though some of the conversations are made up. It's pretty chilling, but I enjoyed it.
I'm a HUGE fan of anything by Voltaire.
I also absolutely love Hamlet. And if you read it, you also have to go with Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead-which isn't a classic, but should be!
I also like Shakespeare's royalty plays-the Henrys, Richards, etc.
NetG, thanks for the recommendations. I've already read The Odyssey for a class way back when and I think I'm done with the greeks for a while.
I've read 100 years of solitude (great book) but it never occurred to me to read it in Spanish that's a great idea. There's a website called online-literature.com that might be able to help you with student versions.
I didn't realize that "Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" was a book. There is a movie that came out a while back with the same name. I really liked the movie, I guess I'll have to check out the book.
The R & G Are Dead movie may be even better than the book. I was impressed with just how well done it was. It was done by someone who truly understood the points behind the book, but added even more humor to it!
Ooh! I forgot to add Chaucer! I have a student version of that, so I read Chaucer in Middle English, but most modern English translations work well, too. I love The Canterbury Tales, but Chaucer has great short stories as well. With Canterbury Tales you can skip around, too, because of the way it's written-you read the beginning, but then can skip around and read whichever of the tales you want.
If you want, I could try to get a good recommendation of translators of Chaucer from a family member who did his thesis on Chaucer....he and I have fun talking, and everyone else looks at us like we're freaks!
hey NetG, I read A Clockwork Orange. When you start it, I suggest having a pen and pad handy. The slang is so thick in the first chapter. You'll probably need to write down the slang for reference until the second chapter....that's when it all started coming together for me. It's a great book, by the way.
Voltaire is amazing. I'm also a fan of Jane Eyre, I used to read it every year, it's so romantic.
Grapes of Wrath and Uncle Tom's Cabin are two of my favorites.
My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell
A Separate Peace by John Knowles
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
The Metamorphosis by Kafka
...and, of course, Animal Farm
i read "a tale of two cities" in 10th grade for lit class. although the first couple of chapters are boring (ESPECIALLY the first), you eventually get really into it. i almost cried when i read the last page for the first time. *sigh...* also, i really liked "the giver" and "girl with a pearl earring." i'm just starting to really kick back into reading again after a LONG break from it, so i'm interested in these nominations, too. :) one great short story, by the way, is "the blue hotel." really fascinating and myseterious. it's a long short story, by the way. :)
my cousin made me read the giver and I couldn't put it down, luckily for me it was fairly short.
1984 is good by George orwell or try Memoirs of a Geisha I forgot who th author was though.
Do Harlequin Presents count? ;) I used to be a member of their book club back in the 80s when everyone was a secretary or a nurse ;) Penny Jordan wrote the best ones.
{edited to add reading list guides}
The New Lifetime Reading Plan: The Classical Guide to World Literature is a good place to start. Amazon has scores of reading lists that can get you started in the right direction, including Salon.com Reader's Guide to Contemporary Classics and The Literary 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Novelists, Playwrights, and Poets of All Time, to start.
Happy reading!
I'm just finishing The Jungle by Upton Sinclair for the first time. I really like it but I found it very depressing. It is definately applicable to life in the 21st century.

Five Animals That Look Like Rick Scott
Photo by Michele Eve Sandberg / Premier.gov.ru/Wikipedia Commons
Physically, Gov. Rick Scott has been compared to many things: Lord Voldemort, a ladle full of Greek yogurt, a calcium-deficient fingernail.
And, sure, the dude looks like something that would pop out of a hole and bite you. But I'm not here to pick the low-hanging fruit. I'm not going to sit here and point out that this esteemed public servant looks like an evil wizard or a pencil.
No. I'm here to point out the five animals that look like Rick Scott.

1. Bald Uakari
This is a Bald Uakari. I know it might not look like Ricky now, but send the governor on a two-week vacation to Turks and Caicos, then steal the sunscreen out of his carry-on before he boards the plane.
Upon his arrival home, put him side by side with the Bald Uakari and try to tell the difference between the two. I suspect you'd be halfway through greeting the governor before you realized you were shaking the hand of a monkey.
Things they have in common: • A strong lower jaw capable of cracking hard nuts. • Confronted with evidence that it may have made a poor decision, communicates with a loud, stabbing cry that sounds like, "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!"Next Page

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|About two weeks to get everything together
|This was first put together in 1998.
This was mainly a costume a put together from items I found that I adjusted.
The hat and the jacket are actual 1940's pieces that I managed to find quite cheap.
The shirt was a shirt from a outdoors shop that I weathered to make it look worn.
The trousers where from a charity shop that I adjusted to fit me.
The tie was given to my by my bro.
The shoes I already owned.
The bag came from an army store
The whip is a cheap party one which I would love to replace one day for a proper one (as my currant one is crap).
This was a fun costume to do. Due to the quality of the photos I wil be updating with a photo shoot very soon.

Cracked Bushings
Hey everyone. So I took my car in for inspection the other day (I've got a 2009 335xi coupe with 20k miles), and I failed my inspection.
The reason for the fail was because of low tread on the inner part of my front right tire (due to excessive negative camber) and the cause of the camber issues was a cracked bushing and leaking shock.
Took the car into BMW service and they are telling me that the bushings may not be covered under my warranty because its a "wear and tear" item. Well for starters, I wholeheartedly disagree with that assessment. Cracked bushings at 20k miles (and to be honest it was more like 15k miles since I've had the rattling noise coming from that part of the car for many months), should not happen. The only explanation is I am either a very aggressive driver who likes to take my car off of curbs, or it was poor workmanship/materials. I assure you that it is the latter.
So now I am worried because I've been searching everywhere to find out whether the bushings are covered under my original factor warranty or maintenance warranty and I cannot find a straight answer anywhere. I know its not covered on the extended and CPO warranties, but then I've read of many people who have had them replaced under the new car warranty. Then again, I've read horror stories where it has not been replaced. Does anyone have any experiences with this? Were your bushings covered under the new car warranty?
Also, as an aside, how is this in BMW's best interests to not fix the bushings? If they don't do it, then I'll have no choice but to keep driving on them, hence leading to a worsening condition to other parts of the vehicle. I don't have the funds to address the problem now, nor do I have the technical know-how to do it myself, so BMW is going to end up with bigger problems down the line. Just seems senseless to me.

According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the Oakland Raiders October 6th home game versus the San Diego Chargers has been moved back to late Sunday night to accomodate the Oakland Athletics, who are hosting Game Two of the American League Division Series in the Oakland Colliseum, which needs to be changed over from baseball to football after the game. The Raiders home game will now start at 11:35 p.m. ET and will be televised on the NFL Network.
Fantasy Analysis:
It is going to be a long night for fantasy owners, especially on the east coast. A majority of fantasy owners were likely staying away from most of the options in the Oakland offense, but now with such a late start, it gives quarterback Terrelle Pryor (concussion) even more time to recover and be ready to go. Their top two running backs, Darren McFadden (hamstring) and Marcel Reece (knee) also benefit from the late start. As of right now, McFadden is the more likely of the two to be active. If you have another option, it might be wise to use them earlier in the day instead of taking a chance that McFadden is active.

Well my friend glengoyne17 finally i make this video for you... always many ppl asking about how to proceed with the toothpaste treatment on Bronze/Brass timepieces.
The trick as i said before is repeat as many time you want until get finish you like.
In hte video I dont leave the toothpaste dry because the piece i cleaned for show only was like 2 weeks ago cleaned.
If your timepiece have a strong or medium patina you need to let dry the toothpaste for at least 2 hours in my experience 4 hours is the bes removes easy the patina.
Always you can get a high polished finish or just keep it clean with original fresh finish after the toothpaste treatment you apply the Jewelry Care Cloth find it more here :
Why on earth Anonimo won't reburbish its bronze cases?
As a reference this old thread :

Big Brother 8 TV Viewer Ratings
Big Brother 8 TV Ratings by Mike Liebner
|3 nights a week is a lot of TV!
Is America watching Big Brother 8???
Reality TV appears to be as popular as ever. There are some big brand new hits this Summer.
With all the press going ga-ga gush over the big new reality tv hits (Spelling Bee and those cloned singing idiot type shows) I was worried that Big Brother 8 was sliding in viewership and ratings…. BUT apparently not!
According to Variety Big Brother 8 and it's houseguests' ratings are on par with last season: (more…)
Sorry but Pirate Master Sucks
|Sorry but Pirate Master Sucks by Mike Liebner
The show blows and has got to go… bye bye says Tivo!
OK, so it seemed like it might be a good Summer replacement for Survivor seeing that it comes from the same people associated with reality tv giant Mark Burnett.
I tried to give it a fair shot, but the last episode put me over the edge and I have now officially removed Pirate Master form both of my Tivos. It simply is not even worth watching in fast forward mode. Now that sucks!
Go ahead and blame it on the awful casting if you want, but I think the concept is what is really flawed big time, as setting the show on a creaky old pirate boat and having the contestants play, er, pretend, er contend as if they were real pirates is a concept with less merit than Jackass (any version). Not even the best actors would be fun to watch pretending they were pirates in a reality tv show, much less the motley crew of dorks they have on the show.
Like I said before, I do respect Mark Burnett, but sorry my man – you have let me and the peoples down big time – again.
Pirate Master is not just lame – it sucks!
I am so tired of the lame foot races where they're racing to find a puzzle piece and bag of fake coins. It's not clever. It's not even a competition. It's a freakin' foot race with make believe pirates… how lame is that?
They run… they fall… they complain… duh… to base a show around a weekly foot race for a fake pirates chest is an insult to reality tv watchers.
Zanzibar and mutiny and cutting them adrift may be clever bullet points for a 6th grade art class or drama project, but prime time tv demands much more than make believe reality tv. Is that what tv execs really want to fill the airwaves? Is that what people really want to watch? (more…)
Do You Have Time for Big Brother After Dark?
Do You Have Time to watch Big Brother After Dark???
by Mike Liebner
|Written on Wednesday, July 18th, 2007.
Big Brother After Dark is running each night from 9 PM to 12 PM PST on Showtoo (Showtime Too – two, err whatever it's called). Showtime Too is available as a premium channel. I get it with my DIRECTV lineup of satellite channels, so I did not have to pay extra just to get Big Brother 8 Super Sized.
What exactly is Big Brother After Dark?
It's LIVE footage of the Big Brother 8 household shown exactly as it airs live and unedited and uncensored. What you see is really happening and the only editing is done when they switch cameras. For example one minute they may be by the hot tub catching the crew as they party. They may suddenly switch to a bedroom where a few cast members may be strategizing. It's all live but they can obviously only show one thing at a time. So they jump from camera to camera catching the action as it unfolds.
Big Brother After Dark is worth watching, but it is mind boggling how much they're dropping on us.
How much TV are you capable of watching??? How into Big Brother 8 are you????
If you're obsessed or even consumed, maybe you'll welcome the 21 hours of Big Brother 8 live footage showing each week on Showtime for Big Brother After Dark.
Because of the sheer volume of footage (and it's live) it's kind of mind numbing to watch. Here I am 13 days after the July 5th season premiere and I am simply overwhelmed by how much BB8 I have to watch if I want to. I mean hey – the regular show Big Brother 8 on CBS shows 3 new episodes each week and has already dropped 4 one hour episodes on us. That's a fair amount of TV to watch considering the show has been on less than 2 weeks.
Add to that Big Brother After Dark and today on the 18th we already have 12 three hour blocks from Showtoo. One more coming tonight for a total of 13 episodes x 3 = 39 hours of BB8 action. Sure, I know the live internet feed goes 24 hours a day but for some reason I have never been compelled to watch that. After all it's live only, right? They don't record the action so we can watch it when we feel like it, right???
And that's what's pretty cool about Big Brother After Dark. Right now I have 12 three hour blocks of Big Brother After Dark recorded on Tivo (it's stuffed to the gills). That's insane! Who can watch that much???
At first – when it started getting recorded on Tivo I was afraid to watch it because I know that what Showtime is showing live with Big Brother After Dark may not have been shown yet on the regular show. And I'm not one of those types to revel in learning spoilers. I want to see the show exactly as the producers intended it to be seen.
As a result I have been afraid to watch Big Brother After Dark and only have recently begun watching. In fact, one night last week before the elimination ceremony on Thursday July 12th, I turned on my TV and before I could look away I saw Amber on the screen as Tivo was recording Big Brother After Dark. I tried as fast as I could to turn that off but it was too late. I saw Amber which meant they MUST have voted Carol off. That spoiled the real BB8 when I watched it as I knew Carol was getting the axe. (more…)
Scandalous Big Brother 8 Rants and Raves
Big Brother 8 Rants and Raves by Mike Liebner
|Warning: this piece is very opinionated and really tells it like it is. If you are offended by humorous ranting and raving with no holds barred name calling – maybe you better skip this one :'>
OK, I better do a run down of the cast before the evictions start and give my wonderous satirical commentary on the twits and the nimrods amongst the Big Brother 8 house guests before they get slammed in the booty by the door on the way out.
OK, it's early on Tuesday July 10th and we're into episode 2 and big Brother is off to a terrific start. Episode 3 airs tonight and I can't wait.
I am really impressed with the 2 episodes so far this season. Hats off to the exec lady who helped pick the cast for this Summer. It's a good diverse group of entertaining contestants.
I wonder if they had some sort of cry-o-meter to gauge which of the cast would break into tears at strategic monents… maybe they share the same boohoo tool with Age of Love, who also has some cry babies in their cast. Boo hoo…
All right… Let's start with ripping apart the 2 "nominated" house guests. Amber and Carol have both been nominated by Kail the Head of Household (HOBAG, er, HOH). Sorry, could not resist…
Now, I have to get this off my chest right now… I have already fallen in love with Carol and am shattered my lovely has been nominated. It always seems to happen on these reality shows… The one I get into and adore is usually among the first to go and Carol is nominated this week.
Why? Well, Kail tried to make it seem logical why she picked Amber and Carol to be nominated for eviction. Personallyy I don't buy that as she is most likely jealous of Carol and her good looks and pleasant personality. It's also possible Kail has considered that her Rival that she lent $5.00 to and stiffed for the cash may not be a rival but possible ally. Hmmmm… OK. That's possible but I still think Carol is just too hot to shove out the door quite yet.
Amber is the one I hope gets evicted. She's already been a sobbing boo hoo cry baby to the extreme and frankly I don't like her look or personality. She can get the boot if ya ask me.
Now Kail is definitely a player and is gettin' all strategic on us right at the beginning of the season. She immediately took the HOH position and used it to grab up an alliance. How strong the alliance will really be is to be seen as no smart cookie would turn down her offer of "till the end". Why not play her??? Mike, Nick and Zach seem to be in her corner for now, but that will likely change fast when someone decides to gang up on Kail.
Danielle and Evil Dick are the odd couple of sorts. They may not get along in real life but both seem to know that a friend in the BB8 house could be a good thing. I geniuinely feel bad for Dick as it seems that the pretty but thin Danielle has a stick up her butt and twisted inside her inners. Danielle has been dissing her daddy. Now the question is – does Daddy deserve to be dissed? Or was she just being a bitch.
Something deep is going on inside Danielle's apparently peanut sized brain as she awkwardly distances herself from Evil Dick.
While I can't say I am a big fan of the pierced bad boy Dick, I do feel for him a little and wish he'd get a little something from the daughter. Some amount of respect or at least a grown up girl fake smile instead of the tortured abused child act she's putting on.
Maybe Danielle has a right to be emotional, but my money is on the fact that she had a bad childhood and is blaming it on Daddy Dick. Right or wrong, I personally believe that BLAME is not something you assign to others. You deal with things and just move on. (more…)
Big Brother 8 is my Summer Sweetheart
BB8 article by Mike Liebner
Hey – it's that time of year again! The time for conniving and back stabbing and possibly even some showmance action!
|Big Brother 8 and hot Summertime fun is here again!
Boy – it's my favorite time of year with my favorite hot Summer reality tv show Big Brother back on CBS in full effect!
That means I/we can now dedicate 3 days or more to the adventures of the BB8 houseguests for a Big Brother Summer of fun!
I say 3 days or more because I just found myself re-watching the season premiere episode a 2nd time (it was recorded on my 2nd Tivo)! And you know what… watching Big Brother 8 a 2nd time was actually enjoyable (although I did fast forward a lot).
So – is there enough Big Brother 8 for you this Summer???
Can you live without Big Brother the other 4 nights of the week the show is NOT airing a new episode???
Strange but last night (Saturday) I found myself wishing it was on… you can nver get enough of a good thing!
We now have Big Brother 8 to keep us entertained on 3 nights each week – Thursday – Sunday (new one coming tonight) and Tuesdays…. (more…)

Beautifully written, with many lovely turns of phrase (the campfire flames dancing like a ship's sail; full bellies and plenty of marshmallows; the wolf's howl piercing the night; the warm glow of energy on the Washers and so much more). Team Leader is nicely developed, and his gentle leading is wonderful. The lessons on failure, the meaning of clothing; re-evaluating, and, most importantly, the three characters, are good ones, simply-explained but powerful in content.Everything taught is valuable for kid-readers to know; everything's explained in perfectly clear terms; children reading this will definitely 'get it.'
Much of the writing is so lovely; there are wonderful character details and observations; the overall message is so valuable.
The 'W' Characters introduces children to three characters that can be found in EVERY person:
Washers, the book's true heroes, use the metaphor of water as a life force in their own lives.
The W Characters helps children understand a core life principle to develop their own inner 'fire' for becoming something special and unique. It's a fun, easy-to-read book children will return to again and again.

Sloppy defense allows Aeros past B-Mets 7-3
Four Binghamton errors give Akron the winning edge
AKRON, OH -- The Binghamton Mets came into Akron Thursday night fresh off of clinching the Eastern Division.
Not that the Akron Aeros cared.
The Aeros (62-68) defeated the B-Mets (81-50) by a score of 7-3 thanks to four Binghamton errors and a four-run first inning.
After a one-two-three inning from Akron starter Toru Murata, the Aeros wasted no time scoring. A leadoff single from shortstop Jose Ramirez followed by a fielding error on Binghamton second baseman Josh Rodriguez allowed Ramirez to reach third base.
Ramirez ran on the error and nearly was hit by the ground ball. He was aware of his surroundings, however, just one of the little things manager Edwin Rodriguez loves about the shortstop.
"I've seen runners that just run without knowing where the ball is," Rodriguez said. "So that's just one of the little things that Jose Ramirez does that makes him a very good baseball player."
Singles later in the inning by designated hitter Cedric Hunter and right fielder Carlos Moncrief drove in two runs, though the damage did not end there.
Left fielder Tyler Holt singled to center field and was caught rounding too far off of first base.
Fortunately for the Aeros, J. Rodriguez missed the catch during the rundown and his second error of the inning allowed a run to score. Second baseman Ronny Rodriguez followed with a well-struck double to right field to push the Aeros' lead to 4-0.
E. Rodriguez was happy to see his team strike early.
"It was important for us to score first," Rodriguez said. "They have the best record in the league. They know what they're doing. Their pitching is very good, they play very good baseball, so it was important for us to go out there and be aggressive."
The four-run fourth was more than enough for Murata (6-5, 3.65 ERA, 3.81 FIP) as the right-hander went 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on four hits, one walk, and four strikeouts. Murata failed to get a quality start for the first time in his last seven starts, though Rodriguez thought that the right-hander did a great job of pitching with the lead.
"Sometimes some pitchers don't know how to pitch when they have the lead," Rodriguez noted. "Murata stays with his plan. He was attacking the hitters, he was establishing the fastball, so he stayed within himself."
Murata's opponent, left-hander Mark Cohoon (9-4, 4.07 ERA, 3.69 FIP), was only charged with one earned run in his five innings, though his team's lack of defense helped him allow five runs total.
The B-Mets finally got Murata in the sixth inning. After a leadoff single by shortstop Wilfredo Tovar, center fielde rAlonzo Harris hit a groundball down the third-base line toward the left-field corner.
Holt, who is playing left field following Tyler Naquin's callup, got a late jump on the ball, allowing Harris to reach third base for a triple. Rodriguez was not too upset with Holt, though, as this is a new position for the outfielder.
"Holt is a natural center fielder," Rodriguez said. "He's been playing left field, what, four games? Five games? So that's why he's there… to learn to play that position… It's a tricky corner, [especially] for a guy who never has played there. But I'm pretty sure he learned from that."
Akron added one run in the second inning following a leadoff error by first baseman Allan Dykstra. Additionally, the Aeros scored two runs in the sixth, highlighted by a throwing error by left fielder Joe Bonfe. In all, Binghamton's four errors led to five unearned runs.
Akron made the B-Mets pay for those errors, as three hits for R. Rodriguez and two hits apiece for Ramirez, Hunter, Holt, and third baseman Giovanny Urshela paced the offense.
Two Aeros players left the game early as Hunter was pulled in the fifth inning with a stomach virus. E. Rodriguez said that Hunter has been playing hurt lately and must have been hurting badly to actually need out of a game.
First baseman Jesus Aguilar left the game in the seventh inning, though Rodriguez said he was just getting Aguilar some rest after playing a lot lately.
The Aeros will look to keep this winning going tomorrow night with right-hander Brett Brach (8-9, 5.22 ERA, 4.74 FIP) taking the mound against right-hander Erik Goeddel (9-6, 3.79 ERA, 3.88 FIP). First pitch is at 7:05 p.m.
Attendance: 3,410... Time of Game: 2:44... First pitch was at 7:09... Game time temperature: 78 degrees...Moncrief's first-inning single extended his hit streak to eight games… Naquin went hitless for the second-straight night after owning a six-game hit streak prior to Wednesday.

Mein Auto: 2013 328i 6sp manual
View My Garage
I considered a base 335i to get the horsepower. However, I couldn't resist the M sport line package. Especially since it unlocked the estoril blue. In the end, I just couldn't afford the M sport line on a 335i. I ordered a 328i, manual, in estoril blue with red leather. I was very impressed with the 328i on a test drive. It felt light and nimble yet solid. The acceleration was insane even with the 8 speed automatic. Amazing transmission and it's no charge! It was the first time in my life I ever considered an automatic and I'm 40. I own an Audi A4 now and the new 328i is light years ahead of my 2003 A4 performance wise. I did drive a manual, Audi S5 before I decided on the 328i. I just couldn't afford a $50k base price car (S4). If you have an S4 now with 330hp supercharged engine, you'd definitely want to go with a 335i with the 300hp turbo. I assume you can afford it since you have the S4. I also feel that BMW leans more towards sport as far as the interior and Audi leans towards luxury. I was ready for a change. Maybe you are too?

As the title says, hello all, been a lurker for awhile and this site is extremely informative, and has several characters that make it interesting.
I recently purchased an 06 wrx wagon with less than 43,000 miles on it, I'm an older guy so I guess this is my mid life crisis but what the hell I'm having fun.
I'm very happy with the car, It's all stock except for a dealer installed turbo gauge, my only plans so far is an exterior detail and tint.
Thanks for your time.

Snowpack accumulation in the Rocky Mountains continues to lag behind normal, irrigation and public power engineer Corey Steinke said.
In the lower North Platte River basin, less than two inches of snow/water equivalent has accumulated, or 29 percent of average.
Snowpack accumulation in the South Platte River basin is currently 61 percent of normal.
Reservoirs in Wyoming held average amounts of water last fall, Steinke told the board of directors of the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District, but if snowpack conditions don't improve, Wyoming reservoirs are likely to end the irrigation season with below normal amounts.
Wyoming reservoirs provide water for farms in eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska and return flows provide the majority of inflows to Lake McConaughy.

Looks good Bubba. I am jealous. One of these days I'm going to try and build an retro A1 clone.
very nice retro ya built there!-- it is a lot more true to the OEM than mine is!
those old triangle HGs got really tiring to hold on to after about the 16 hour mark! some how having one today it don't seem soo bad- i suppose because i can put it down for a minute and rest!-LOL
i may build a 9m with one of my slabside uppers -- i yanked the slabside off the old a1 and put a flat-top on it for a 2-7 vortex scope--LOL
i just cant see through the damn A1 peeps no mo-- no lie GI!
I got mine finished as well. Came out real nice, But I think I got the sight a tiny bit cocked to the right. I might take it out again this week and run a couple more mags through it. While I was at the range a guy was buying a ar for 3500 bucks, I am sure it is nice but I think I will stick with my 700 dollar ar. Lol
Any word on the condition on the lastest kit from Royal Tiger? Am worried about cracked metal and missing parts. Have an original hand guard and pistol grip bought for $8 back in the early 90s.
Called Sportsman Guide and tried to get them to match Royal Tiger price. They said RT said cracked stock no match. This is the second time they pulled the NO price match. Only reason to SG is no BS return. When RT was IO they were a nightmare. Are they any better now?
Took the leap with a phone order. Will ship Thursday. Phone lady assured me NO cracked metal upper or missing parts.
Hell Bubbamauser, you've gone this far and the lower looks so good , why not just refinish the upper to match with a OEM spec finish?
That would be the route I'd probably take myself.
That way I could wear out the finish myself ,, All over Again,,,,,:brows::ar15:
I was at Wally World last Friday and they had several S&W Ar's for $780 something and Bushmasters @ 950 something. Back to normal prices again around here, NOW,,,,,,,,

I took a late afternoon trip to the Connetquot River on Long Island yesterday. The rules have changed since they discovered a virus at the hatchery this winter. For one, the use of chest waders and felt-bottomed boots is prohibited. There is limited wading on the river below the hatchery, but only in hip waders. (Very few people can wear hip waders without looking ridiculous, and odds are you are not one of them.) I'll put up the official new rules in a future post.
What else has changed? The days of retarted meat slab fishing (or hero fishing, depending on your perspective) appear–at least for the time being–to be over. The park is still stocking the river, but you can no longer approach a hole, cast a piece of yarn on a size 16, and expect a stocked brook trout to assault it. The trout are still numerous, but in each of my visits to the river this season they've behaved like, well, trout. They spook if you approach the river without caution, they don't forgive you if you flub a cast, and they hightail it somewhere else if you brazenly false cast over their heads. Where it used to be normal to catch upwards of 20 trout, with days of over 40 (then it could rightly be called stupid fishing), this year I've averaged around four a trip. Yesterday I worked hard to catch a couple of wary browns and a chunky brook, and connected with a reel-zinging rainbow of serious proportions that would have qualified for Slab of the Month status had it not straightened out the hook. But no one wants to read about almosts, so I'll end it there.

I bought my 2013 Kia Rio on October 31, 2012. Unfortunately, I bought it two days before it was announced that the mpg numbers had been overstated. Had the mpg numbers been changed prior to me buying my Rio I might have looked into buying another car. I have no problems with the new numbers and if my Rio came close to the new numbers I would be happy with my purchase...I guess. The real problem is that my Rio does not get even close to the new numbers in mileage and it is making me sick. From what I can tell the issue is mostly during idle and city driving. During city driving my Rio struggles to get 20+ mpg(tankfull). Last fillup showed me at 23mpg which was good for me. This tank is halfway gone and I have only traveled 60 miles. So I guess im on my way to having my first ever 120 mile tank of gas! my instant is showing me at 19.1 currently and usually the instant is about 2 points higher than real life for me. This is HORRIBLE! I should have bought a SUV! If I sit in my vehicle at idle for about ten minutes I can see the gas gauge drop and my instant drops insanely fast. I can go from 25mpg instant to 19mpg instant in a matter of minutes.
And for anyone wondering how I drive. I have driven it like a grandma for a whole tank, I have driven it like a racecar driver for a whole tank. It doesn't make a difference. CRAP gas mileage every time.
Anyone else having similar issues? I am going to take it into the dealer ASAP to have it checked out. There has to be something wrong.
I should not be struggling to hit 20mpg city in my Rio this is ridiculous.
the best mixed driving tankfull that I have seen in the last 2 months was 25mpg and that tankfull was mostly highway. I am so disappointed with my purchase I wish I could take it back. Hopefully this gets resolved.
For me, the 1.6 GDI is a top world leading high tech engine but not the most efficient when it comes to fuel consumption. If I can be proven wrong, I'm waiting for it...

Firefighters from four towns responded to a blaze at a trailer home in Cherryfield this morning.
The fire broke out sometime after 11-AM at the trailer on School Street, just behind the Cherryfield Elementary School.
Crews from Cherryfield, Millbridge, Steuben and Columbia were called in to help battle the flames.
Firefighters were able to get the blaze under control, we're told, in about 20 minutes but remained on scene for several hours.
The occupant of the trailer was home at the time, but there were no injuries.
The cause is unknown but the fire chief says the fire does not appear suspicious.

Halle Berry & Nahla: Rainy Day Dames
Stepping out for their daily routine, Halle Berry and her daughter Nahla braved the rain on their way to school today (November 29) in Los Angeles.
Sporting a grey hat and matching pullover sweater, the "Swordfish" actress kept a careful watch on her little girl as they rounded the corner and discovered some waiting shutterbugs.
And as things continue to unravel in Berry's personal life between her fiancé Olivier Martinez and her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, it seems little Nahla is caught in the middle.
A close friend told press, "They keep playing this game and Nahla is used as a pawn. It's her I feel sorry for."

Christian Benteke will miss the World Cup after being ruled out for six months with a torn Achilles tendon, Aston Villa has confirmed.
Aston Villa confirmed that he sustained the injury in training on Thursday and will undergo surgery after a scan revealed the extent of the injury.
He is expected to be on the sidelines for a minimum of six months.
"It's a terrible blow both for Christian and for the Club," said Villa manager Paul Lambert.
"He will miss the rest of the season, obviously, and also the World Cup. But he'll work hard because that's what he does and he'll come back for us stronger than ever next season."
News of Benteke's injury was first broken by Kristof Terreur, of Het Laatste Nieuws, a Dutch language newspaper based in Brussels, a series of tweets – even though Lambert made no mention of any injury to Benteke during his press conference earlier in the day.
After an indifferent start to the season, the Belgian striker has begun to pick up form in recent weeks with six goals in his last 11 matches.
He has six goals in 17 appearances for his national team, and has been a first choice striker for a side packed with talent including Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin Mirallas and Marouane Fellaini.

Canal Park Playhouse Welcomes Avner the Eccentric, 3/1-25
Canal Park Playhouse has announced Avner the Eccentric's return to New York with his show EXCEPTIONS TO GRAVITY, EXCEPTIONS TO GRAVITY begins performances on Friday, March 1 for a limited engagement through Sunday, March 25. Performances take place at Canal Park Playhouse (508 Canal Street, between Greenwich and West Streets in Tribeca). The performance schedule is Fridays at 7 PM; Saturdays at 1 PM and 7 PM; and Sundays at 1 PM & 4 PM. The regular ticket price is $20. For tickets or more information, call OvationTix on 1-866-811-4111 or visit www.canalparkplayhouse.com.
One the most accomplished physical comedy performers in the United States, Avner the Eccentric comes to Canal Park Playhouse with a spectacular show that upends the laws of physics! A master of the art of physical comedy, Avner weaves a spell of poetic simplicity in a show of hilarious predicaments. EXCEPTIONS TO GRAVITY is a reminder of the theatrical power that can reside in a single charismatic performer who touches the heart.
Avner Eisenberg's (Avner the Eccentric) one-man show, Avner the Eccentric, was a hit of the 1984-1985 Broadway season. He co-starred in Lincoln Center's production of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, and returned to Broadway in 1989 in a principal role in Ghetto. In regional theatre Avner has played both Estragon and Vladimir in Waiting For Godot, played the title role in R. Crumb Comix, and co-starred with his wife, Julie Goell, in the world premier of Zoo of Tranquility.
Avner's new show, Exceptions to Gravity has toured extensively all over the US and abroad. Avner has often played on subscription at regional theaters including Arena Stage, Trinity Rep, Actor's Theater of Louisville, The Empty Space, Indiana Rep, The Goodman Theater, Portland Stage, Merrimack Rep, Virginia Stage Company, Dallas Theater Center, Seacoast Rep, and San Jose Rep.
Avner is probably best known for his endearing portrayal of The Jewel, the scene-stealing holy man, in The Jewel of the Nile, co-starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. He was also featured in the film Brenda Starr and the television series Webster and Mathnet.

DENVER – For two years, President Barack Obama's administration has tried to convey a narrative in which it is winding up wars in Southwest Asia and turning America's attention to its longer-term – and arguably more important – relationships in East Asia and the Pacific. In recent months, that narrative has gained the virtue of actually being true.
Now, the task will be to balance the need for responsible military drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan with a responsible buildup of activities in East Asia. And that means putting to rest fears that the United States is gearing up for confrontation with China.
Obama's decision to break off talks with Iraq's government for a new agreement on the status of US forces there means that, after eight years, those troops are finally coming home (perhaps in time for Christmas). Since US politics no longer stops at the water's edge, Obama's decision was greeted with howls of derision by those who argued that he was "uncommitted" to the Iraq venture and somehow did not make his best effort to keep troops there. Never mind that Vice President Joe Biden, the chief negotiator, traveled to Iraq more times than any senior US leader has traveled to any previous war zone.
Nonetheless, critics claimed that Obama's administration had offered up Iraq to the Iranians. The "proof" was that Iraq's Shia prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki – a leader who may be called many things, but certainly not pliable or pliant – did not deliver the rest of the country's political class to an agreement.

Flu shots
November 01, 2001 - 4 commentsOld Man Winter will soon blow across the country and riding on his coattails is an invader that annually attacks Canadians where they live.
It's the influenza virus, a.k.a. "the flu."
In response, public health officials are promoting flu shots and clinics are springing up. In Ontario, the vaccinations are free for everyone for the second year running.
But is it any more than a shot in the dark?
Health officials admit that it's impossible to predict with certainty what strain of the virus will attack in a given year, that new mutations may occur, and a completely unknown strain could cause a worldwide pandemic at any time.
With a population increasingly inclined to embrace more "natural" therapies and exposed to anti-immunization information from a variety of sources, not the least of which is the Internet, there's more than a little skepticism about the value of flu shots.
Dr. Carolyn Dean, a medical doctor who also holds a degree in naturopathic medicine, does not totally discount the value of shots but maintains it depends on individual need. In people vulnerable to flu complications – seniors, those with chronic conditions or illnesses such as diabetes, or whose immune systems have been compromised by drugs or disease – the shots may well be necessary, she says.
"Flu can lead to pneumonia and definitely can lead to morbidity and mortality. So, if someone came in with a history or lots of colds and flu and remedies weren't working to boost the immune system, that might be a possibility.
"But to issue a blanket statement that everyone over a certain age should get it, I really don't like the sound of that."
Dean, who says her interest in naturopathic medicine stems from her doctor's oath to "do no harm," is concerned about side effects from putting too many foreign or chemical substances into the body.
"I'll always be a proponent of alternatives but, being a medical doctor, I know that at a certain point drugs and surgery are necessary. People will do just fine with them if they haven't built up a resistance to them and they're not already chemically overloaded.
"We are living in a society where it's been reported that there are up to 500 different foreign chemicals that can be measured in the cells of our bodies. Whose to say that flu shot isn't the straw that breaks the camel's back?"
For people who have no special needs, the author of Dr. Carolyn Dean's Natural Prescriptions for Common Ailments recommends taking the natural route first.
"I know from my training that there are many, many options and choices for boosting the immune system and preventing illness and for treating colds and flu other than resorting to a shot." Such things include getting plenty of sleep, eating nutritiously and not overeating, and limiting such things as sugar ("the amount in two cans of soda can suppress the immune system or paralyze it for four to five hours").
"It's important to follow those good health measures but if you really want to definitively prevent the influenza, the best way to do it is through a vaccine," says Dr. Ian Gemmill, chairman of the Canadian Coalition for Influenza Immunization and medical officer of health for the Kingston, Ont. region. "If there is an onslaught from a virulent influenza, no matter how healthy you are and try to be, there's a very good possibility you might become sick."
With 5,000 to 6,000 deaths each year from the flu or its complications, he advocates the shots for everyone and particularly for those at greatest risk of developing a serious illness or complication such as pneumonia.
Gemmill says it's important to differentiate between true influenza and the extended colds or upper-respiratory infections that people come down with each year. "If you've got the flu, you take to your bed," he says. "You feel like you've been hit by a truck and you just don't want to do anything."
Symptoms include fever, sore throat and headache but definitive of the flu are the muscle and joint aches and pains that can be intense. Any many who have influenza continue to suffer from fatigue for several weeks before they are truly back on their feet.
Gemmill also discounts the possibility of side effects, saying that in clinical studies there was virtually no difference in the incidence between those receiving the flu shot and the placebo control group. The most commonly reported effect was pain at the injection site "which is not because of the vaccine but because you got a needle."
In terms of chronic conditions that people have linked to the vaccine, he says none have been proved. He allows that some people may experience some flu-like symptoms, including fever, following the vaccination but maintains "it's certainly far less traumatic than getting the flu and it does not tend to recur ... I think the balance is to look at the risks versus the benefits ... There's no safety reason not to get it and every benefit to getting it.
"It's a small investment ($10 to $15 in most of the country and free in Ontario). There are other ways of dealing with the flu, treating it and preventing it, but this is by far the most cost-effective and longest-lasting prevention we've got."
While he admits that each year the World Health Organization survey of worldwide flu systems that determines the content of the vaccine is really an "educated guess" at what strain will cause problems, Gemmill says it's right 14 out of 15 times. Occasionally a mutation, like the Sydney strain in 1997, takes everyone by surprise but those who have been vaccinated are likely to be at least partially protected even in those cases.
A profound reconfiguration of the virus can result in a global pandemic, as happened in 1918-19 with the Spanish flu and again in 1957-58 and 1968-69 with the Asian/Hong Kong strains. This phenomenon, says Gemmill, cycles every 30 to 40 years so world health officials are bracing for another soon. However, he says, universal vaccination programs ¬provide a valuable model for inoculating thousands of people in a short time period.

Exhibitions presented at The Frick Collection during 2008.
The Frick Collection presented an exhibition devoted to the art of Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, one of the most original and innovative French artists of the Enlightenment. The fruit of many years' research by curators on both sides of the Atlantic, the exhibition was the first major Saint-Aubin retrospective in more than eighty years and the first ever to include works from both European and North American collections. It was also the first such collaborative effort between The Frick Collection and the Musée du Louvre, where the show will be on view from February 27 to May 26, 2008.
In this exhibition, Parmigianino's Antea, a special loan from the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, was exhibited in the United States for the first time in more than twenty years. Although it is widely recognized as a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance female portraiture, little is known about the painting: its date is not firmly established, it is unclear why or for whom the portrait was painted, and the sitter's identity is a mystery.
The Frick Collection exhibited a selection of Meissen porcelain from the collection of Henry Arnhold. One of the greatest private holdings of early Meissen assembled in the twentieth century, the collection was formed in two phases, the first in Dresden between 1926 and 1935 by Henry's parents, Lisa (née Mattersdorff; 1890–1972) and Heinrich (1885–1935) Arnhold ; the second, by Henry in New York between 1972 and 2006.
Particularly beloved among the paintings at The Frick Collection are its three works by Johannes Vermeer (1632– 1675), Officer and Laughing Girl(left), Mistress and Maid (center), and Girl Interrupted at Her Music (right).These rare canvases were purchased by Henry Clay Frick before his death in 1919. This summer, the institution offers visitors their first opportunity in nearly ten years to examine the paintings together on one wall.
The Frick Collection presented the first monographic exhibition dedicated to Andrea Riccio (1470–1532), one of the most creative sculptors of the Renaissance. On view were thirty-one autograph works representing every phase of Riccio's career, three bronzes believed to be derived from the artist's lost compositions, and two life-size terracotta sculptures. Andrea Riccio: Renaissance Master of Bronze was shown exclusively at The Frick Collection.

Read the review of the HTC One M8
After a few years churning out a whole host of handsets, HTC has tightened-up its lineup, with just three Android models arriving in the coming few months. The first to arrive, and the top of the line, is the HTC One X, which packs in a 4.7in HD screen, 8-megapixel camera and quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor.
Available for pre-order now from most providers and hitting shop shelves on April 5, the HTC One X will you set you back £459 SIM free or can be had for free on £36 a month, 24-month contracts and upwards.
Design and Features
We were sent the grey version of the HTC One X for review and upon taking it out its box our first impression was one of slight disappointment. When we first saw HTC's handset, it was in its white livery and we thought it looked great, feeling it resembled an oversized Nokia Lumia 800 – the best looking phone currently on the market in our humble opinion. However, the look hasn't transferred well to this grey finish.
It falls down in two ways. The first is simply that grey isn't a particularly inspiring choice of colour, even given the nice matt finish used on most of the handset. The second is the shiny strip HTC have chosen to run round the edge. Without this the HTC One X could've passed as maybe having a sand blasted anodised metal finish, and looked a bit more premium because of it, but the shiny strip just screams "I'm plastic".
Let's be clear, the HTC One X isn't an ugly phone. The clean overall styling looks great and certainly surpasses the recent Sony Xperia S, but we just can't get past that grey back. Thankfully you should be able to opt for the white version instead, which carries off the look much better.
Style isn't, however, the only area where the HTC One X trips up. For a start, the back isn't removable so you can't easily swap the battery. Then there's the lack of expandable memory – you get 32GB built-in, which should be plenty, but some users will still want the option of adding in an microSD card to their HTC.
Another bugbear we have with the HTC One X, particularly on these larger phones (dimensions are 134.4 x 69.9 x 8.9 mm), is the continual use of a top-edge-mounted power button. It's simply too much of a stretch for comfortable one handed use. The Samsung Galaxy S2, for instance, got things spot on when it put this button on the right edge where it falls easily under your thumb/finger. At 130g it is at least surprisingly lightweight.
Fret not, though. While this may read like a catalogue of critical errors for the HTC One X, most are merely small niggles that simply leave the design door slightly ajar, ready for another upcoming phone – say the Samsung Galaxy S3 – to sneak in and become our top smartphone pick, assuming it gets the rest of the basics right. Currently, though, there's nothing else that can match what the HTC One X offers.
First though, let's finish looking round the HTC One X's exterior. On the left edge is the microUSB (MHL) socket used for charging, connecting to your computer, and with an appropriate cable it can connect to your TVs HDMI input. Meanwhile the right is home to the volume rocker, which is also glossy grey plastic, rather than the usual chrome we expect of HTC. As for the headphone jack, HTC have placed it up top, and the metal SIM slot – which takes microSIMs – pops out with the push of a paperclip just like the iPhone.
On the back, alongside the Beats Audio and HTC logo are a quintet of metal dots. These are contacts that are used for charging and data transfer when the phone is docked in the various compatible accessories. These include a simple desktop dock that holds the HTC One X horizontally and there's also a set of car accessories that includes a dash mounted dock, a screen-visor-mounted Bluetooth mic/speaker and wireless receiver to plug into your stereo for playing back your music.
Under the HTC's screen are the three navigation buttons, which although touch sensitive, are not part of the main touchscreen. This breaks somewhat with Google's rules, as it wanted to promote moving to completely virtual touch buttons, but most manufacturers have implemented separate buttons. The ones on the HTC are responsive and easy to use.

spelling mistake last paragraph second line "al" to "all"
Great review :)
It is fortunate that these top-end phones are likely so expensive - you need to empty your pockets of cash in order to fit the damn things in!
what a shame only made out of plastic should be the aluminium with mao finish for real premium feel and the extra strength to protect the high investment we would be making tech specs are impressive so lets hope the service providers don't mess up with their overlays as usually happens
The review says the screen is "Stunning", however the Image Quality has been awarded 7/10... ?? I can't think of 3 greater adjectives above Stunning hehe...
Have the Design score and Image Quality score been confused?
Also, if you were to review the White version, is it likely this would have received a Trusted Award?? To wait for the S3 or not :s
Our Image Quality score refers to the camera, not the screen.
Possibly, though there are a number of other issues.
Dang! I got the grey verion on order :( I hope its not too much of disapointment your suggesting the finish is! Cheers for the review. Fingers crossed my hands wont find the new clown-phone format too large!
you wouldnt think having to press the top button to get out of stand by woud be much of a deal breaker but ive honestly nearly smashed my old htc phone about a 100 times because of it,weird.
also you said it has the best camera on ANY smartphone then gave it a 7
Do I? Where? I certainly didn't mean to. It's an okay camera.
you waxed lyrical about the camera in the video review,among the best has to be taken as it is said.
to clarify...among the best i would expect a 9,then add in the HOST of extra features translates as hard to find better.although not THE best certainly more than a 7.
then again maybe your paid to wax lyrical.
Ah yes, I see. In fairness, I say it's among the best out there, which it is. However, it's good because of its features, not image quality. I appreciate it's not entirely clear.
Maybe review samples get more abuse (?), but even so that sticky-out camera seems vulnerable. Picture #3 seems to show quite a few abrasions around the edge of the 'spout', which seems to be soft aluminium, and the marks carry on to the lens cover, which I guess isn't Gorilla Glass? Since those marks will scatter parasitic light into the lens it will be more than just a cosmetic issue, although I suspect that on a £450 phone the cosmetic damage will be the greater issue to most owners.
Looking forward to seeing how this squares up to the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Just received my htc one x. First impressions seem positive, the only software issue I've come across is that there seems to be some graphics banding on the left edge of the screen when scrolling to the right in google maps. It would be interesting to see if any other user or trusted reviews have this problem. I can't seem to recreate it anywhere else, though I haven't played any games on it as yet.
Today, all phones on the market are the garbage. Where is that future? Around the corner or what? Until when?
We need flexi screens, lighter phones with long lasting batteries, more sofisticaded phones...
The future is now! Not tomorrow, not for decade. NOW!
To all manufacture companies: Go back to the drawing boards. Now.
Simple question: What I get better from the ex-generation? Simply put, NOTHING.
9/10, compare to what? Nokia 3210?
Evaluate again your criteria, from scratch.
nokia lumia 800 is a "better looking phone"...WTH?
lumia 710 looks far better than 800...800 looks like a rectangular box!
man, u must be joking...and what do you mean by "A few silly ergonomics slip ups???"
i read your reviews for one reason,to have a good laugh!
you guys complain over every thing...remember,no phone is perfect!
image quality 7/10? and just underneath it you have mentioned "Excellent 8MP camera" and "Stunning HD screen"...based on what criteria have you given the rating? think before publishing a review about a product...this is not the first time i have seem trusted reviews post such silly reviews
although,the biggest joke is £459 dosn't surprise anyone.
guess we will never learn when it comes to smartphones.
I had a play with this handset in the local O2 shop and came away underwhelmed. Poor build quality and an average screen. I'll keep my HTC Desire thanks until the Galaxy S3 comes out.
I happened across a thread saying that A2DP quality on the One X is pretty dire: http://forum.xda-developers...
This would matter quite a bit to me for music, and no doubt it would also matter to many people for hands-free calls in the car.
OK I have been using the One-x for a month now, and I can say on the whole its great. I will however say this, the screen coating scratches VERY easily, I now have many scratches on it with just normal in pocket use, no keys or other sharp objects. Very disapointed about this as the Desire it has replaced has lasted over 2 years with only a couple of very minor scratches. Not a fan of screen protectors as these things should be build to take this sort of thing! or whats the point in making it so thin to only bulk it back up with some naff looking protector.
Any how rant over, the rest of it is great.
Got mine today and absolutely love it! Huge, huge upgrade over my 2,5 year old Nokia 5800.
Pros? Everything :) Screen is fantastic, sharp and more lifelike than AMOLED screens found in other top-end mobiles. Camera takes very good pictures. Android 4/Sense 4 combo much better than previous versions.
Cons? Speaker is not loud enough and it lacks oomph (compared to Nokia 5800's stereo speakers). Metal ring around camera lens sticks out and is prone to scratches. And I'll miss couple of games that are availible for Nokia at Ovi Store but are unavailible at Google Play (Bejeweled Twist, Gears).
"only made out of plastic"?
Your perceptions of "quality" of metal over plastic are of course subjective (and shared by many). However, when you look at fitness for purpose, polycarbonate has many advantages over metal:
1) polycarbonate will absorb impacts without damage where metal metal will absorb the impact by denting
2) polycarbonate is thru-coloured so scratches are not so visible, metal usually has a surface finish which scratces through to reveal shiny metal underneath.
3) polycarbonate allows RF signals to pass, metal does not
4) polycarbonate is lighter than metal
Overall, polycarbonate would be my choice of material for a premium phone. Metal might have the shop-window benefit of 'perceived' quality, especially on day one when it is all shiny new, but polycarbonate is the better performer and will hold its looks better over time. I think the whole 'metal = quality' (and "heavy = quality") thing is a hangover from the days of literally 'cheap' poor quality plastic devices, but as high-end engineering polycarbonates start making their presence felt in premium products those associations hopefully will change.
If you want a dramatic example of polycarbonate's superior toughness and strength compared to metal, just go to the local vehicle scrapyard and see some crash damaged cars - the front end metal work will be all bent and twisted, but chances are the (polycarbonate) headlamps are still intact, even if they are hanging out by their wires.
