It seems like everyone in New York City had the same idea on a cold, rainy day: let's go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art! I did.
I went specifically to take another, much closer look at their permanent exhibition of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas.
As you can guess, I was most interested in seeing the Oceanian section of this exhibition. The Oceanian portion consists of one large room full of mostly New Guinean art and also some other Melanesian objects, plus a number of side rooms including one split between Polynesian and Micronesian art, and one devoted exclusively to Island Southeast Asian art (Indonesia; Malaysia; Philippines; Taiwan; &c). I am unaccustomed to thinking about Island Southeast Asian cultures as part of (or related to) Oceania, but a passing look at the Southeast Asian artifacts does reveal some similarities with the rest of Oceania. And long histories of migrations across this region (and sharing of material cultures) also help explain why the Met's version of "Oceania" is so inclusive!
Polynesian Art
I was most interested in viewing the Polynesian collection, which I was quite dismayed to see only comprised one half of one small room:
Map introducing the viewer to the Polynesian Triangle: Hawaiʻi to the North; Rapa Nui (Easter Island) to the East; Aotearoa (New Zealand) to the Southwest
Tapa cloth from Wallis and Futuna, Polynesian islands located in the midst of Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga
Tapa (Hawaiian: Kapa) is a type of cloth made, most usually, from the paper mulberry tree (Hawaiian: wauke). All across Polynesia, tapa manufacture - which involves stripping the bark off the tree, and felting the strips together with tapa beaters, and then adding inked designs to the cloth using various types of stamping utensils - is women's work.
In my research into early nineteenth century Hawaiian material culture, I have found that tapa was used for a variety of functions. Most noticeably tapa was used as clothing, and in Hawaiʻi it was the only form of clothing used before imported European, American, or Chinese materials. Women wore tapa skirts and men wore tapa in a variety of fashions, including over one shoulder like a toga, and as a loincloth, called malo in Hawaiʻi. Tapa were also used as mats, as bedding, and as hanging separators between rooms in traditional Hawaiian thatch houses.
Detail of tapa cloth from Wallis and Futuna
I am lucky enough to have a little bit of my own tapa cloth right here in my apartment in New York City! It was a birthday gift from my girlfriend that she secretly picked up in Hawaiʻi: a tapa scrapbook in which we can store the mementos of our pacific voyages!
Here is an Hawaiian artifact:
Lei Niho Palaoa: Whale's tooth pendant on a necklace made of braided human hair
We saw many lei niho palaoa at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. As the object label here at the Met suggested, wearing a whale's tooth plus all that human hair on one's body was a way of absorbing great quantities of mana (divine power) from those objects (and the associations with whales and people that the objects always carried).
John Hayter, Boki and Liliha (1824), Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.
Note that beautiful Liliha is wearing a Lei Niho Palaoa just like the one at the Met!
The last piece of Polynesian art that I wish to note is this object:
Statue from Mokumanamana (Necker Island), Hawaiʻi, c1000 CE
Few people in New York City might realize that the state of Hawaiʻi is much longer, east to west, than most any map cares to show us. Beyond Kauaʻi and Niʻihau, the most western human-inhabited Hawaiian islands, lie the Northwest Hawaiian Islands. Long ago, Hawaiian people lived on Necker and Nihoa islands in the Northwest Hawaiian chain. This statue at top is testament to that.
Map of the Northwest Hawaiian Islands: the once-inhabited islands of Nihoa and Necker are closest to the still-inhabited Southeastern Islands.
Each island in Northwestern Hawaiʻi is the summit of a massive underwater mountain. Today these islands are home to Hawaiian monk seals and a variety of seabirds, but human settlement is no more.
Micronesian Art

a map of the Pacific ocean for the training of navigators
Melanesian Art
Unfortunately for big fans of Polynesian art, like myself, the major room of the Oceanian art exhibit at the Met is devoted exclusively to Melanesian art, almost all of which represents the art of the Asmat people of the island of New Guinea.
Asmat art from New Guinea in the gorgeously-renovated exhibition room
Why Asmat? I am not quite sure. But the fact that someone with the last-name Rockefeller traveled to that region of Indonesia numerous times, collected artifacts, and, I think, contributed funding to the exhibition, could be a likely explanation.
Overall, I was disappointed in the Met's permanent exhibition of Oceanian art.
1) The lop-sided collection and/or exhibition of objects. While the curator is undoubtably challenged by having to place "A Third of the World in Three Rooms," as he puts it (in a lecture, mind you, that I have not yet seen), I believe that most visitors will not even realize that the Island Southeast Asia and Polynesia/Micronesia rooms (the smaller rooms) exist, and they will only see the large, gorgeous room with the oversized Asmat art from New Guinea in it. This lop-sided exhibition of Oceania hardly showcases "a third of the world" because it disproportionately highlights just a handful of ethnic groups and their arts while slighting the hundreds of other ethnic groups and material cultures from across Oceania.
2) Even more disappointing to me is that all of Oceania only gets three rooms in the entire Met, which is a HUGE museum. I have heard many people argue that because European art, for example, is globally appreciated as great art, then it makes sense to devote most of the Met to European art. But any such "global" perspective that compares art across the world and finds European art to the "best" should also make clear how histories of European and Euro-American imperialism and colonialism have forced Western arts upon other peoples and have trampled upon indigenous forms of art across the world. It is this legacy, I think, of Western ethnocentric domination that has made the Met the lop-sided way it is today.
3) Lastly, this is not just a Melanesian vs. Polynesian issue of disproportionate representations; nor is this just an issue of the West vs. the rest of the world. But what really bothers me about the Met is how peoples who do not make art objects that fall into the categories of "painting," "sculpture," "ceramics," &c, and that do not fall into the categories of "European," "American," or "Modern," have their objects relegated to the back rooms of unwieldy departments like "Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas." What do the arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas have in common, anyway, besides all being lumped together as "different" (read: primitive) compared to Euro-American and European arts?
The European art section isn't full of static representations of European pasts, but rather showcases the development of European art over many stages as it is influenced by outside developments and continues to redefine the meaning of art in European society. Same thing with the Euro-American exhibition. But why not Africa? Do not African artists develop and change their styles over time? Do they not respond to contact with outsiders and create beautiful hybrid objects that relate to African as well as other global influences, just like Westerners do? Same thing for Native North and South Americas. Same thing for Oceanian peoples.
But what I saw at the Met was a representation of Oceanian people stuck in the past, as if their greatest artistic achievements are only the oldest or most traditional things they have ever made, as if their interaction with the rest of the world over the past half millennium has not contributed to any great new developments in Oceanian art. How can the paintings of each individual European master-artist of the nineteenth century be given such prominence on these walls (including Gauguin's paintings of Tahitian women), while we simultaneously are not even shown a single example of Oceanian art from the same time period that adapted to, responded to, incorporated, or challenged the influences of other peoples upon their world, just as the Tahitian people so greatly influenced Gauguin's.

I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...
I am assuming this is in relation to your tenant who has vacated a room on first floor level. It all really depends on whether the tenant is actually a tenant or a licensee. In an event have a look at what your agreement says, without wording that specifically allows service of notice via email, then it is a defective notice. Your actions may have indicated an acceptance, however.

I am unashamedly addicted to reality wedding shows, my latest dependence being TLC's Say Yes to the Dress. The series documents the staff and customers of Kleinfeld Bridal in New York. There's crying in clouds of tulle, countless asides on how the "perfect dress" will help overcome personal difficulty, overwhelming advice from overbearing mothers, budget concerns, and struggles with pre-wedding weight gain a la Bridezilla meets The Biggest Loser.*
A typical recap? "Kasey's OCD hinders her decision; Jackie's dress to mask her self tan; Angela has second thoughts ... Christie is a former stunt woman; Leah asks for a dress that doesn't have 'boob mirage.'" Basically, it's everything you'd ever hoped for in a TV series and then some.
My only qualm with the program is the sheer lack of alternative choices available to the bride, due partly to the overabundance of pricey eggshell, ecru and ivory Pnina's on the showroom floor. As Randy Fenoli, fashion director of Kleinfeld's and host of the show's fifth spinoff series, SY2TD: Randy Knows Best, says, "If you want to wear color, you may want to save it for your shoes. This way your guests will only get a peak of color when the tip of your shoe is exposed from under your gown."
To this I say poo-poo! When did wedding dresses get to be so, well, white? Brides in the Middle Ages would wear rich colours in luxe fabrics such as fur velvet and silk, Western Europe once favoured red gowns embroided with silver thread, while American brides donned a plethora of colours, including blue, yellow, brown and grey.
The double-wide white cupcake has only recently come into fashion with Queen Victoria in 1840, who wore it as a symbol of wealth and social status i.e. having enough money not to work and to dry-clean. Nowadays, you don't need a white dress to flaunt your cash – show-off via vellum-overlay invites, fireworks, three-tier cakes decorated with gold-leaf icing and intricate scrollwork, and elaborate bonbonnieres. This site suggests a potted orchid?
As SY2AD has taught me, a woman's wedding day is all about her, a celebration of her beautiful uniqueness and a bold expression of her personal style. Thus, it's ironic that the bridal industry presents us with such formulaic options. What if ivory or champagne isn't your colour? What if you find the ever-ubiquitous strapless neckline particularly unflattering? As Slate's Katherine Goldstein so accurately observes, visible tan lines, spillover cleavage, stick-figure arms, uniboobs and pouches of skin bunched up around the armpits become extra pronounced when wearing white strapless styles.
Thankfully, we need only look to the number of floral, red and black growns on the runway to realise that alternative dress styles are making a comeback. The unwritten rules of long, white and cap-sleeved have been jettisoned in favour of fashion-forward, statement-making gowns that need not be reserved for older brides or second-timers.
Isaac Mizrahi has jumped on the bridal bandwagon with an 18-piece collection, adding his playful touch with gingham sashes, pink lace, black embroidery and an all-black gown! The lady behind Priscilla Chan's aka Mrs. Muckerberg's dress, Claire Pettibone, has long favoured blue-toile lace. While Vera Wang, making her foray into the Asian market, has delivered a collection of 15 gowns in different shades of red, the colour of choice for brides in China, India and Vietnam.
What do you think? Would you ever wear a coloured dress down the aisle? Sofia Coppola wed her betrothed in lovely lavender by Azzedine Alaia, Cynthia Nixon looked a dream in seafoam green Caroline Herara, while Reese Witherspoon and Gwen Stefani both donned pink on their big day, if that's enough to sway you?
*Intrigued? There's also a fourth spinoff series, Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bliss, featuring Kleinfeld's plus-size clientele.

Born on Aug. 10, 1858, author and educator Anna Julia Haywood Cooper was the fourth African-American woman to earn her Ph.D. in 1925. She received her doctorate in history from the Sorbonne in Paris upon defending her dissertation titled The Attitude of France on the Question of Slavery Between 1789 and 1848.
Having expressed a desire to teach from an early age, she taught and headed the Modern Languages Department at Wilberforce University and became principal of Preparatory High School for Colored Youth (also known as M Street and now Dunbar High School) in 1901.
Cooper was also known for her speeches, including addresses to the World's Congress of Representative Women in Chicago in 1893 and the Pan-African Conference in London in 1900.
Often heard using the phrase, "not the boys less, but the girls more," Cooper addressed critical issues around gender equality through her conversations, speeches and writings.
The only woman elected into the American Negro Academy, a secret society, Cooper would continue on to become the second president of Frelinghuysen University, a non-traditional group of schools for colored working people, in 1930.

McDermott on Its Back Brian Graney (TMF Panic)
November 12, 1999
Investors who had figured on a quick recovery this year for beaten-down oil and gas industry subsea contractor McDermott International (NYSE: MDR) have received a rude awakening over the past two days as the company's shares have sunk to new depths. Despite rising oil and gas prices and improved investor sentiment toward the energy sector in general, McDermott's core J. Ray McDermott marine construction services business has seen dismal results. Yesterday, the company said fiscal Q2 EPS was $0.06, down from last year's $0.85 and substantially below the First Call mean estimate of $0.19. In turn, investors have unloaded the stock, sending its share price down a wrenching 55% in the last two trading sessions.
Even though McDermott's stock was considered dirt cheap by many observers before the drop, it's a whole lot cheaper now trading at about 5 times trailing earnings and a mere 0.6 times book value. Sounds like a value investor's dream come true, right? Maybe, but the company currently finds itself in a big hole. While analysts are quick to point out that the macro outlook for McDermott is rosy thanks to a strengthening oil services sector, McDermott is different from other oil services companies.
Contract offshore rig operators such as Global Marine (NYSE: GLM) and Ensco International (NYSE: ESV) are up big this year as production companies have resumed exploration and production (E&P) spending amid higher oil and gas prices. However, the spending hasn't carried over into the kind of large E&P projects upon which McDermott so heavily depends. Marine construction revenues are down 53% year-over-year for the first half of the fiscal year, while operating profits from the business are down 77%. Last year, marine construction accounted for 41% of total revenues and 46% of operating profits.
A 6-month to 12-month lag between higher general E&P spending and subsea spending by oil and gas producers is not uncommon; McDermott expects the lag to extend out into the first quarter of calendar 2000 at the very least, which will test investors' patience.
While waiting for the increased spending to kick in, another problem has reared its ugly head. McDermott has been dealing with liability claims for the past 20 years related to cancers and other health conditions allegedly caused by asbestos in commercial boilers and other products that used to be sold by its Babcock & Wilcox subsidiary. The company has been systematically settling these claims for some time, but plaintiff lawyers have recently started to demand larger-than-usual settlement payments. As a result, the company has cautioned that paying higher settlements or future litigation could have a "material adverse impact" on the company's results.
McDermott's management didn't attempt to quantify the higher settlement risk, so the market did it for them. In the end, the downward pressure applied to the stock over the past two days because of the asbestos liability may end up being an over-reaction, as 63% of the liability claims paid out in the last year were covered by insurance. But with the weakness in its core business not going away soon, calling the market's bluff on the liability front would be a gutsy move. Unless they bring a considerable amount of industry knowledge to the table, investors hunting for value in McDermott should tread cautiously.

Teeth Whitening Walnut Creek at Pope Dental
Teeth Whitening Treatments for San Francisco Bay Area Patients
At Pope Dental in Walnut Creek our goal is to provide our patients with the very best general and cosmetic dentistry. That means we aim first at ensuring our patients have optimal dental health and then we address the good looks of their functional and healthy grins. Once we have helped you achieve your goals in our dental office, we can then put the finishing touches to your dedication to oral health by providing in-office or take home teeth whitening products.
Who Should Use Teeth Whitening?
You cannot ignore the fact that white and bright teeth are everywhere you look. On film and TV, in magazines and ads, and on many people you meet, gleaming white teeth seem to enhance the appearance of any smile. If your teeth are in good health and condition, some whitening may be all you need to cosmetically enhance your smile.
This is why we offer two convenient options for teeth whitening in our dental office:
- Opalescence BOOST
- Opalescence Take Home
With Opalescence BOOST you can enjoy premium results in one hour. It is a method of teeth whitening that must be professionally applied by Dr. Pope and his team. It is chemically activated, though, and that means no bright lights, dry lips or discomfort of any kind.
Instead, your teeth will be compared to a shade guide to determine what shade you currently have, and then the Opalescence BOOST is carefully applied using the patented applicator. A bite guard is used to help you remain comfortable for the time that the compound remains on your teeth. An hour later, your teeth will be several shades whiter. No laser lights, no special gadgets … just the brush applicator and a bit of time in the chair.
This approach to teeth whitening is safe, powerful and effective. It uses a mixture that is also known to help reduce cavities by increasing the hardness of enamel and it will also minimize tooth sensitivity too!
If you would prefer to use the at home system, you enjoy the same beneficial formula, but you will choose the concentration you are most comfortable using. It is then applied using custom dental trays you slide over your teeth. You can choose from several flavored gels, and you will have to leave them in place for 30 minutes to ten hours based on the concentration of the Opalescence gel you selected.
Which is best? It really boils down to the amount of time you want to spend. The at home products are not as effective as the in-office treatment because of the concentrations and the method of application. After all, Dr. Pope can apply the formula very precisely in the dental office, while the at home trays may not dispense the compound as evenly or precise. However, both whiten the teeth and provide long-lasting results. Both benefit from after care as well, such as the use of whitening toothpastes
The goal is to visit the dentist office and get your teeth and gums in the best shape, and once your smile is healthy, speak with Dr. Pope and his team about your best options. Are you interested in learning more about teeth whitening? If so, give us a call at 925-939-4989 or use our online contact form. Dr. Pope or one of his team will get in touch with you and discuss how to get you the whitest smile possible.

Brandon Bell and his Oakcrest High School football teammates are back in the playoffs for the second straight year.
Last season, Oakcrest made its first playoff appearance since 1986. The 2010 Falcons reached the South Jersey Group IV final, losing to Cherokee 33-6.
Bell said Oakcrest fans are again pumped up this season.
"It's the same as last year," Bell said. "We're all hyped to be here again. Around school kids are excited. It's still kind of fresh to us."
The sixth-seeded Falcons (5-3) play at third-seeded Moorestown (5-4) at 6 p.m. today in a South Jersey Group III quarterfinal.
Oakcrest started 1-3 this season but has won four straight - all by shutout.
Bell, a 6-foot-2, 212-pound junior, excels at linebacker and running back. He's rushed for 261 yards and four touchdowns. Bell leads the team with 91 tackles - 17 of them for losses. He has six sacks, three fumble recoveries and an interception. He's scored two defensive touchdowns.
In a telephone interview Tuesday night, Bell spoke about a number of topics, including the differences between a playoff and regular-season game.
On Oakcrest making its second straight playoff appearance: I think it's a big testament to coach Smith (Oakcrest head coach Chuck Smith) turning the whole outlook of Oakcrest football around.
On Oakcrest's 1-3 start: We had to be resilient. Our coaches always speak to us about that. They tell us to keep our heads up and keep working. We made a lot of changes after that start. But everybody was ready for the changes. It didn't mater what positions guys had to go to. They just did it. We came together.
On the difference between a regular season contest and a playoff game: When you're playing in the playoffs, it's the big show. It's for the championship and that's what every team wants. You realize you're going home if you lose. You have to player harder.
On playing an unfamiliar opponent in the playoffs: It's very different. You've never seen them before. You're not sure how they play. You see them on film, but you don't know what kind of guys they are. But I kind of like it. They don't know how you play. It's kind of even.
On what he prefers - offense or defense: I love both sides of the ball, but I guess I have to say defense. I like hitting more than running.

I replaced it and it was still taking soooo long to jump. Even with the autozone jumper box. Eventually we get it going, but there is still only 12v or so going to the battery. I didn't want to risk getting back on the interstate because I would be screwed if I broke down again. So we drove it around a bit, and the voltage was very slowly climbing. It was around 7pm and I just wanted to get back to CT (3 hours away). So Joe and his buddy follow me for quite a few miles just in case. The car is running well, and the voltage at the battery is 13v. So I decide to go for it, and I had no problems. Around halfway back, I notice the voltage has finally reached normal (14v). Pretty strange, but it got me home. I guess the problem was the alternator after all.
As the others have said, few parts stores do an adequate test on alternators. If their tester does have a load capability it's typically 20-30 amps which barely loads the alternator. Could be the regulator went bad or one of the rectifier diodes. If you lose one of the diodes in the rectifier bridge you only see a few tenths of a volt drop with a typical volt meter but you've lost 30% of the alternators capacity to provide current.
I can count on one hand the number of times Autozone has given me the correct part the first time, and they have NEVER given me the right belt the first time. There's one about 3 blocks from my house but I usually drive the 3 miles to the NAPA store.
Sorry you had such long day CJ. Really, really first class of you to try to help the lady in the middle of the crap you were trying to fix on your own car.

IGN-UK's Scott Munro recently published an article titled, The Best Games Never to Get a Worldwide Release. This post got me thinking about the game's that I wish had gotten released here in America, but never did. If these games had been released here, I almost definitely would have bought them:
1: Captain Rainbow
Captain Rainbow is a Japanese made Wii game that never made it out of Japan. Developed by Skip, the creative minds behind the Chibi Robo games, this game is a wacky puzzle based action /adventure title. It puts the player in control of a nerdy looking guy named "Nick" that has the alter ego of "Captain Rainbow," who is gifted with some special abilities. One of the most interesting things about this title is the use of cameos of under-appreciated Nintendo characters like Birdo and Little Mac. Mix that with some very adult themed missions (that are so very uncharacteristic of Nintendo titles) and you get a pretty interesting title that never made it to the States. Plus, who doesn't love that character design. I would love to see Captain Rainbow as a playable character in the next Smash Bros. game.
2: The Tingle Games
I know that a lot of people hate Tingle. He is undoubtedly the strangest character to come from a first-party Nintendo title, but that doesn't mean that he's too weird for us American's. But apparently that's what Nintendo thinks, because Tingle has had 3 titles released in Japan. One of which, Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland even saw an English translation that shipped to Europe, but did we ever see it here in the states? Sadly no, unless you imported it (since the DS is not a region locked device.) It was an action RPG that received pretty decent reviews. One of the others games was a Club Nintendo exclusive title that was available to Japanese members of the rewards program. This particular game, Tingles Balloon Fight DS, was a version of the Nintendo orignal Balloon Fight that replaced the original helmeted protagonist with none other than Tingle himself. The last title was a direct sequel of Rupeeland titled Colour-changing Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love. I personally really like Tingle and it kills me to know that a first party Nintendo character has titles out there that will likely never be localized.
3: Mother 3
This is probably the most wanted from many Nintendo fans, as far as games that were never localized goes. Mother 3, an RPG for the Game Boy Advance, was never released outside of Japan. It was the third entry into the Mother series, known in America as Earthbound. It isn't the first game in the series not to make it State-side; the original NES game Mother (sometimes called "Earthbound Zero") also falls into the same category. USA did see the release of the SNES sequel of the game with a really big PR/advertising campaign. Earthbound was critically acclaimed, why Nintendo has never wanted to localize this GBA gem is beyond me. With the growing Virtual Console libraries on the Wii and 3DS respectively, maybe hope of an official translation gracing our shores isn't completely lost.
...and that's the games I would have definitely bought had they been released here in the U.S. What are yours? Let me know in the comments, thanks for reading!

Positive Feedback ISSUE 63
From an Editor's
Notebook: An Update on PFO's DSD DAC and
DSD Download List
Just in case you haven't been paying attention to DSD, there are revolutionary breakthroughs afoot for fine audio in this domain.
We've been documenting DSD's progress here at PFO (for example, Issue59/dsd.htm, Issue59/dsd2.htm, Issue60/dsd_usb.htm, Issue60/dsd.htm). I've also moderated DSD seminars with some great hardware and software experts in this format at RMAF 2011 (streaming video available at http://audiofest.net/2012/video_player.php?video_id=29&Sid=3e9f693985f55c555cfb26cdc3263206), THE Show Newport Beach 2012 (streaming video available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n_mlz6UBFA&feature=player_embedded), and RMAF 2012 (video available in the near future).
The Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2012 seminar panel on DSD: from left to right, Michal Jurewicz, Mytek Digital; Matt Ashland, JRiver; Thom Moore, Five/Four Productions; Dr. Rob Robinson, Channel D; Cookie Marenco, Blue Coast Records; Chad Kassem, Analog Productions/Acoustic Sounds; Bruce Brown, Puget Sound Mastering; Jonathan Tinn, Playback Designs; Andreas Koch, Playback Designs (photograph by David W. Robinson).
To bring you up to date on what's happening, here is my current list of DAC manufacturers who are either already producing DACs with DSD support, or who have announced that they will be supporting DSD in the near future:
DSD-over-USB 2.0 DAC Manufacturers, as of 10/23/12:
I know of the following DACs now supporting DSD over USB:
Playback Designs MPS-5 w/USB-X interface and MPD-3 DAC
Mytek Stereo 192-DSD DAC
dCS Debussy USB DAC with DSD streaming support
Benchmark DAC2 HGC
EMM Labs DAC2x
Meitner Audio MA-1 and MA-2 DACs
Simple Design Sonore exD DAC
Chord Electronics Chord QuteHD DAC and QBD76 HDSD
exaSound Audio Design e20 DAC
Fostex HP-A8C DAC
MSB Technology DAC IV
McAUDI DSD DAC (first production set debuted at RMAF 2012)
Korg DS-DAC-10 (to be released in the near future)
Resonessence Invicta DAC
My industry sources tell me that there are definitely other hardware manufacturers who are already developing support for DSD in their DACs. While I'm tempted to share that information with you, I'll wait for definite releases of their hardware. We'll keep you updated here at PFO.
DSD download sites, 10/24/12
My current list of DSD download sites has the following URLs as of late October, 2012:
Channel Classics, the best model that I've seen for DSD downloading and a graduated price structure… smart!: http://www.channelclassics.com/ for general access, and http://www.channelclassics.com/dsd.html for their DSD catalog.
Morten Lindberg and company at 2L have a nice set of DSD downloads at http://www.2l.no/. Check their "Hires download: test bench" section, and scroll down for their sample DSD files. I am strongly encouraging 2L to expand their DSD download sections to include entire titles from their great SACD titles.
Cookie Marenco and friends at Blue Coast have some really good sample DSD files for sale…check out http://dsd-guide.com/free-downloads
Cybele Records, a German site; for DSD see that option at http://www.cybele.de/downloads. I think that we'll see more DSD downloads from Cybele in the near future.
Check the PS3 SACD site for more interesting links for things DSD: http://www.ps3sacd.com/dsd_downloads.html for a collection of DSD downloads
eOnkyo has been selling DSD online in Japan for a while. You can go to the raw Japanese page at http://music.e-onkyo.com/artist/m101210_R.asp, and then check the Google translation page to English at http://translate.google.com/translate?tl=en&sourceid=ie8-activity&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmusic.e-onkyo.com%2Fartist%2Fm101210_R.asp. I'd like to see much more of this… in English!
Also in Japan is http://ototoy.jp/feature/index.php/sound_and_recording. Same comments as for eOnkyo… let's have some language choices!
The group Wheatus is offering sales of their music in DSD direct to the public for a very reasonable donation of $5.00 (or more) for each of two EPs. Browse over to http://wheatus.com for the details.
David Elias has done some wonderful stuff on DSD; check out his album The Window, produced in tandem with Gus Skinas, at www.davidelias.com.
Here's a general-purpose site where various artists and labels offer high resolution recordings for download, including DSD: http://downloadsnow.net.
General purpose info on DSD: http://dsd-guide.com
Yes, there is a great deal of interest in downloadable DSD! The seminar audience at RMAF 2012 (photograph by David W. Robinson).
Stay tuned. There is more to come about downloadable DSD and DSD DACs in the near future….

DIY - Dash cluster removal
as promised.
Separate rear of steering column on both sides, doesnt have to come all the way off.
Lift up the rear cover plate on both sides, you will hear a pop.
take cover plate out.
Remove 2x 7mm screws, one under the gas gauge and 1 under the engine temp or clock (depending on what year your car is.)
To remove the cluster there are 3 tabs on the top that dig into the top of the dash
Press the dash upwards to create a gap and either man it up and jam your hand in there or get something thin to use to work across.
i start on the left and slowly work towards the right.
Disconnect the cable, it is a type of leaver. just lift up and towards the back
All Done.[I]
feel free to donate
Re: DIY - Dash cluster removal
You make it look so easy.
Re: DIY - Dash cluster removal
it is really easy.
only tips is dont drop the screws.
dont pry the dash up and break the dash cluster lip (ive seen a few for sale with cracks in them) thats why i use my hands and tough it out or a flathead screwdriver only as a sort of guide.
and take your time to figure out how the release on the cable/plug works... it took a little fiddling to figure out.. but its also easy.
its literally under 10 min

Re: DIY - Dash cluster removal
The tabs shown in this picture are the tabs that holds the top part into the dash. These are the tabs that he's saying to man-up on or use a flat head screw driver as a guide. Personally I used a paint stirrer that you get from the home improvement stores. Of course, I removed mine several years ago. lol
Both sets of clusters are plug and play. If you are replacing the cluster with the clock with the one with the temp gauge, it will still be plug and play. Except for the odometer, that information is kept in the cluster. Even for clock-for-clock or temp-for-temp.

Delaware North Companies partners with uWink to bring that company's unique self-service and entertainment technology to the Chili's Too Margarita Bar at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport.
The global hospitality, food service and retail provider this week completed the installation of four of uWink's touch-screen terminals at the restaurant and bar.
The Fort Lauderdale Airport was an ideal location for Delaware North to provide travelers with the uWink technology because of its selection in April by the U.S. Customs and Border protection agency to be one of 18 "Model Ports of Entry" airports. The initiative seeks to improve the experience of international visitors, of which the Fort Lauderdale airport has many.
The uWink terminals will help this initiative as they offer menus in both Spanish and English translations. In the near future, the technology will also be available to those who speak German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Russian, and French.
"We're pushing very hard to bring cutting-edge brands to travelers across the country, so our partnership with uWink represents an incredible opportunity," says Matt King, president of Delaware North Travel Hospitality Services. "I think people are going to be blown away by how much fun they have at the uWink terminals and how convenient they are for international visitors."
Since 2006, uWink has opened three self-operated restaurants in California. The entertainment and hospitality software company was founded by Nolan Bushnell, its CEO, who also launched video game pioneer Atari in the early 1970s and the Chuck E. Cheese family restaurant and entertainment center chain.
An interactive fit
The uWink concept features touch-screen terminals at tables that enable guests to order customized food and drinks directly from the kitchen, play dozens of different electronic games and pay the check when they are ready directly at the table. Some of the games allow interaction and competition among tables or even the entire restaurant.
"We are excited to have such a great partner as Delaware North bring our technology and restaurant concept to the airport industry and the Fort Lauderdale Airport," says Bushnell.
"uWink's hospitality self-service and entertainment software is a perfect fit for the airport industry. Airport restaurant customers require immediate service and immediate check out, both of which are available through uWink's self-service technology. And uWink's digital entertainment offerings are great for those passengers who have extended layovers."
King said Delaware North is intrigued by uWink's technology and concept for making restaurants faster, more fun and more efficient. He said Delaware North is using the uWink terminals at Chili's as a test for potential expansion to other airport restaurants the company operates.
"We visited one of the uWink restaurants in California and could see the speed and excitement that the interactivity brought to the customer experience," King said. "We knew we wanted to make uWink's self-service and fun games a part of the experience we provide travelers."
Delaware North, through its Travel Hospitality Services division, is the exclusive food service and retail provider at the Fort Lauderdale airport and operates more than 300 branded restaurants and retail locations at 25 major airports worldwide.

There are many ways you can spend your time optimizing your Adwords account in 2012. One of best ways to impact performance on your account is by ad testing. Not only can you increase click through rate but click through rate is the primary factor behind quality score. Improving your quality scores can decrease your costs, increase your impressions and improve your cost per acquisition. Over the years of writing and testing ads in Adwords these are lessons I've learned and rules I need to remind myself of to have an effective ad testing process. Start 2012 off right and stop or start doing the following things:
DO NOT pause or remove ads without statistically significant data
Avoid conversations with this guy about PPC ads. At my first paid search job I would frequently get in arguments about what ads were "better" and what people liked. That is a subjective argument you will never win. Enter your best friend in PPC, data and testing. You no longer have to have these discussions with anybody once an ad shows a statistically significant higher click through or conversion rate compared to the other ad or ads in rotation. There are multiple tools available to plug your data into and determine which ad has a statistically significantly higher click through rate or conversion rate. I prefer this tool from Web Share. Adwords also is making progress in the area of testing within their platform. Seer Interactive offers a great tutorial on how to implement ad testing within Adwords. Let data and performance make these decisions for you.
DO NOT track more than one ad element at a time
This is a VERY difficult one to practice. I will be writing ads and have multiple new elements I want to test. Once you add multiple variables to test your results become difficult to analyze. Elements in paid search usually are one of these:
- headline
- description line
- display URL
- punctuation
- capitalization
There are multiple elements to test but PPC ads have a limited number of characters to work with. If you are testing only one element at a time it simplifies the process of telling what's working and what's not. These learnings can better inform writing ads in the future to improve results.
DO NOT have more ads in an ad group than allows you to get testing results in a reasonable amount of time
A good rule of thumb is your ad group should receive a minimum of 200 clicks a month for rotating two ads in the ad group. So, if your ad group gets 300 clicks it's OK to rotate three ads. Most of our clients do not have the volume for more than two ads per ad group in rotation. It's important to ensure ad groups have enough volume for you to reach statistical significance in your testing. If you have too many ads in an ad group based on the volume you are unable to make data informed decisions with your ads.
DO document learnings (winners, losers, and detailed notes)
Keep some type of testing document or spreadsheet. Keeping detailed documentation of your ads allows two things:
- You know what is working and you can expand those ads to other campaigns and ad groups
- You also know what is NOT working and you can learn to not repeat that ad copy in the future
After pausing or removing ads I try and do a summary and analysis of what I think was working and what was not. I prefer to have a spreadsheet with two tabs. One with new ads along with the published date. The other tab includes removed or paused ads. Each tab follows the standard columns in Adwords with-headline, description line 1, description line 2, display URL, and destination URL. Here's a screen shot of one of the tabs:
After determining winning and losing ads I will update the new ads tab by highlighting the winning ads in green and the losing ads in red. I also will have a column for notes where I will add comments of what the conclusion of the test ad was. I'm sure there a many ways to do this process but what's important is you document it and have a system to learn and optimize your PPC ads.
DO Set up a document or place for brainstorming and stage future ad tests
Writing ads is one of the more creative areas of paid search. Many times when I'm writing ads I will have many good ideas but then have to go back to my earlier resolution of only testing one element at a time. Take all these great ideas and place them in a document to use next time you have to write ads. I'd also suggest you provide detailed notes on the logic behind the element. I've documented ideas only to come back to them later and don't understand my cryptic notes or vague references. Putting all of these ideas in one place also allows you to have an area to stage and prioritize future tests and elements. Because we collaborate in a team environment we typically use either a Google Doc or Basecamp for this document.

The iPhone 5S has now been released, along with the colourful iPhone 5C
Update: 10 months on
The iPhone 5 is 10 months old. That might not sound old but in the fast moving world of top-of-the-range smartphones, the iPhone 5 could be considered middle-aged, paunchy and preoccupied with looking at ads for hair transplant treatment.
Other manufacturers have upped their game, with Samsung now a very real threat to Apple's long-time dominance of top-of-the-range smartphones. The feature-packed Galaxy S4 has had strong sales, but not as strong as Samsung hoped.
Despite its internal problems HTC has created a sculpted masterpiece in the HTC One, while even Sony has produced a truly competitive phone with the water-resistant Xperia Z. That's before we even get into Windows Phone 8 and Blackberry 10...
So with all these other options for people to choose from does the iPhone 5 still have what it takes?

A number of high profile news stories emerged soon after the iPhone 5's release. These ranged from the metallic back and side chipping and revealing the aluminium beneath to issues with battery life and the Apple Maps fiasco. We go into more detail about the maps app further on.
The most complained about aspect of the iPhone 5 is battery life. More than 2,500 owners gave the iPhone 5 an average of 6.8/10 for battery life. The Galaxy S3 and S4 score 7.3 and 7.6 out of 10 respectively.
The next aspect of the iPhone 5 that most irks owners is its value for money. iPhone owners have known for a long time that Apple demands a premium for its phones. The cost of extra storage on an iPhone makes it particularly costly to go for a 32GB or 64GB model, whereas Galaxy owners are able to add extra storage on the cheap via the microSD card.
However, it's not all bad news for iPhone owners in terms of value. The iPhone 5 retains its value better than any other smartphone. This means you can get back a lot of the original outlay by selling when you upgrade. Even better news is that the 2,500 owners who provided feedback scored the iPhone 5 with 9.2 for ease of use, 9.1 for features and 9.1 for design, clearly showing that it also has a lot going for it.
Now let's get to the nitty gritty of what the iPhone 5 is really like.
Updated: Now with thoughts on how well the phone's design ages, iOS 6.1 and GoogleMaps.
The iPhone 5, like all iPhones before it, is an evolution rather than a revolution but it's at least on the surface the biggest evolution we've seen for years with a new design, a larger screen size and superfast 4G connectivity. But, with a high price and the usual Apple-restrictions, is it enough of a leap to outpace the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S3, LG Optimus 4X HD or the Nokia Lumia 920? With several months of use now under our belt, it's high time to find out, for a second time.
As ever, we'll kick off with the phone's design and external features. When the phone first arrived, we proclaimed it "the most beautiful and best built phone on the market", and for the most part that still holds up. It remains the case that no other device comes close to matching the fit and finish Apple has achieved on the iPhone 5.
It all kicks off with the etched aluminium back. Gone are the glass back and steel sides of old to be replaced with a single piece of aluminium that's hewn to form the back and sides. This is etched on the back and sides to create a matt look. As well as looking great it also makes the phone easier to grip and keeps it from slipping quite so easily – the iPhone 4/4S had a remarkable ability to slide off even the flattest looking surface.
SEE ALSO: iPhone 6 Plus Review
Contrasting nicely with the matt back and sides are the shiny diamond cut bevelled edges, glass front and glass inserts on the back. These angled edges make the iPhone 5 a bit more comfortable to hold compared to the very square ones on the iPhone 4S, which is definitely a welcome tweak.
However, not all is well. Very early on there were complaints that the black version chipped quite easily, showing the shiny metal beneath, and this has proved to be such a common issue that we'd stongly advise opting for the white version instead. That said, our white version is also looking surprisingly battered after only four months use. The whole back and sides are peppered with small dings and scratches that are surprisingly noticeable.
The main problem areas are the shiny bevelled edges and the Apple logo on the back, where any scratch is immediately noticeable against the pure shiny surface. And while we haven't kept the phone in a case it has always been confined to an otherwise empty pocket. As has a two year old iPhone 4 that remains looking near flawless - see below.
Frankly, compared to the glass and steel build of the iPhone 4 and 4S, the iPhone 5 is a signiifacnt step backwards in terms of durability. Sure, the glass back is slippery but it's demonstrably tougher too, and perhaps it could've been etched or something to make it less slippery. Hammering home the point are the black or white little glass inserts on the back of the iPhone 5 which, months on, are spotless. Obviously, if you're particularly careful and use a case the iPhone 5 will stay pristine for longer but it's nonetheless a concern.
All that said, the iPhone 4/4s are somewhat of the exception that proves the rule with most shiny plastic and anodised aluminium competitors suffering just as much from scratches. In fact it only goes to justify our recent complaints about the Nokia Lumia 920 having mostly shiny rather than matt plastic finishes while the HTC One S is another famoursly flawed anodised example.
Pick the iPhone 5 up and it's noticeably thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4S, despite packing in a larger 4-inch screen. Specifically the iPhone 5 is 20 percent lighter (112g compared to 140g) and 18 percent thinner (123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6mm compared to 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3mm). This makes a surprising difference when you actually handle and compare the two devices, with the iPhone 5 almost feeling a bit too light at first, compared to the reassuring solidity of the 4S. This impression soon fades, though, as you realise it is still a very well built phone.
With the iPhone 5 screen size having increased the big concern would be that the whole phone becomes cumbersome to use but Apple has avoided this by only increasing the height of the screen, upping it by about 12mm. This small increase makes minimal difference to the usability of the phone, with you still able to reach the full expanse of the screen easily enough.
Contrary to many a rumour, below the screen there is a home button that along with near identical volume, mute and power buttons will make existing iPhone users feel right at home. A few other features have been tweaked though.
Apple has moved from a now fairly standard microSIM to an even smaller nanoSIM, so if you're buying the phone without a contract/SIM you'll need to contact your network to get a new SIM or get the scissors out. You should be able to chop down most newer SIMs as the layout of the contacts is the same.
Other changes include the headphone jack which has now moved from the top edge down to the bottom. Having it here does make some theoretical sense as when held in the hand the headphone cable hangs straight down out the way and when you go to put the phone into your pocket you don't have to change your grip to do so - give it a go and you'll see what we mean. However with long term use we've generally found it to be a bit annoying, getting in the way of your hand when using the phone. It's not a major concern but neither is it really a step forward.
Alongside the headphone jack are newly designed microphone and speaker grills and of course the new Lightning dock connection. The former are now covered by small drilled holes, rather than one large opening, while the latter is a replacement for the wide, 30-pin dock connector of old.
The new connector will carry audio, HD video, data and of course charge the phone, with adapters available to convert the signal to just about any other type of connection you could name. Lightning is also reversible so you don't need to worry about which way round you're plugging it in, and it's a sturdier plug too
Concerns about having to buy new adapters to fit existing docks and chargers remain, as does the fact that Apple didn't simply opt for microUSB like every other phone, but there is no doubting it is a better connection than the old one, which is something we suppose.
An adapter is available that converts the new connector to the old one but one is not included in the box. You get just the new USB cable, UK plug and the SIM removal tool. The adapter will set you back an insultingly hefty £25.
To comply with EU regulations that stipulate microUSB must be used as the standard connection for all new phones, Apple does offer a Lightning to microUSB adapter too, but it again costs a rather grimace-inducing £15.
Getting back to the phone itself, the final pieces of the puzzle are the cameras. The rear one retains the same core specs as the iPhone 4S but it's 30 percent thinner, to allow the phone's overall thickness to come down. As for the front facing one, it now sits above the earpiece rather than off to the side, and it can shoot 720p video, up from 480p.
All told then, as a piece of industrial design, the iPhone 5 looks like a triumph, though with long term use it has been shown to have a number of drawbacks such as the scratching and headphone position. But overall there's still a lot to like and still no other phone matches it for that initial wow factor. But what of that new screen...

Wow, no comments from Apple haters? Amazing, won't be long though. In no rush to upgrade from my 4, will wait until its been out a while until I consider buying one. I'm glad they haven't made it any wider though, I find some of the new Android phones such as the SG3 way too big and wouldn't buy one for that reason. Not because I HATE Android btw
Well then racey i better kick off the rage then!!! Seriously though another proprietary connector? Other than that no big surprises (not that we were expecting any). I wouldn't buy an iphone personally i don't like the design of the operating system which i feel has long since been surpassed in feel and flexibility by android (wasn't true a couple of years ago but is now). Then again i wouldn't buy the galaxy s3 either im holding out for a new nexus phone.
Its no shock really that they have changed the connector and no shock they have used their own format rather than the industry standard. Apple have always done things their own way. £25 is steep for an adapter but eBay will be littered with £2 copies in no time. My only concern is how much support will it give the phone when placed on a speaker dock? Especially now the phone is taller. I think it could place a lot of strain on the tiny new connector.
It's not as if they bring new connectors out very often - the old one is ancient. There are adapters for USB mini and old style connectors, and those will start to spring up a low prices I am sure.
This article makes me laugh, look up any other smartphone review on the site (LG Optimus 4X for example) and you will see comments like 'thankfully the headphone socket is on the top' and you will see heaphone jack on bottom of the phone in the 'cons'. Apple however do exactly this and all of a sudden it's revolutionary and you should just try it because it actually makes sense. Just made me smile.
Glad it made you smile rather than anything else. Niall was saying 'thankfully the headphone jack is on the top' in reference to some phones putting them on the side - not many these days but some still do. Top or bottom is fine but I was just pointing out in this article that not only is bottom not a bad thing but that it actually potentially makes even more sense.
This is iPhone 4.1, not 5. No significant improvement from the previous version. It is quite evidente that Apple lost the momentum since Steve left the company
I`m an Apple hater. I just posted a joke on another section of TR iphone review. It sums up my feelings on all things Apple.
Q, How do you milk sheep ?
A, Bring out another iphone.
So basically no comment on the fact it is still a 2nd or 3rd choice smart phone due to the fact the new S3 will be 4g and this isnt. Funnily enough some of are interested in surfing the internet at speed - something this review did not cover at all - surprisingly....
I was really looking forward to the I5 coming out and upgrading to it, but now find myself in a quandry as to which smart phone to pick - none of them are perfect and sadly the I5 is looking 2nd best to the competition.
Another TR review proving that proof reading is a dying art! Hopefully one day digital content providers might start using them instead of just spell check.
When Android syncs with Outlook as easily as iOS does, maybe I'll switch.
Very classy phone - particularly like the new CPU which is more powerful than the GS3 quad core model and uses less power - as battery life is such a critical feature in a smartphone (and why Id never get a HTC). I think it should come with minimum 32gb built in - 16Gb is too stingy for the asking price. Apple can charge the asking price because people will pay it!! Ill stick with my Galaxy Note (bought new and sealed for £280 on ebay) because Android is alot cheaper and more rewarding to use. But if you have the cash to spend on an iphone (and many people working in London do) then you're getting a superb phone by the looks of it
Just got my iPhone 5 and after a few hours of playing with it, I can honestly say its excellent! I've had an iPhone 4 since the release date back in 2010 so it's been a long wait. Phone feels good in my hand and the increase in screen length is very nice and noticeable (with compatible apps). The new "ear buds" are very impressive in my opinion (not that ill use them over my Bose ear phones) and will be a good back up set.
I have two very big gripes tho. 1, maps. It's a pretty poor effort from apple and I don't like that I've lost street view. I honesty hope google will be allowed to release the maps app because apples maps are no where near the standard of google yet. 2, dock adaptor! This should have been included with the phone! It's pathetic that apple are charging for an item that costs less than the ear buds and ten times more essential!! I have several docks that require the adaptor so there's no excuse for not giving it to us for free! It's not like apple need the money! Not sure Jobs would have done this!?
Fair score Ed! Awesome phone tho ;)
Headphone connectors are better on the bottom. My phone goes in my pocket head first.
It's something I always liked about my old Touch HD2. Now I use Bluetooth so it's irrelevant.
No, it's the iPhone 4SS ;o)
But yes, Apple is coasting on the value of its previous work. It's done nothing interesting since the iPhone 4.
@racey1979 - agree, I was considering the GS3 until I saw how big it was face to face. If they produced a phone with the same specs but a 4" screen form factor, I'd seriously consider jumping to Android. But the obsession seems to be flagship phones with jumbotron screens, which I find too big to hold (and I have decently sized manly hands, not tiny ones - guess phone size is very subjective)
@todd10 - saw that on yahoo questions. funny stuff - the best is the Samsung ad on youtube spoofing the losers who queue up outside Apple Stores for the next iphone. Funny as hell. I can't stand Apple's smug patronising marketing. That being said I never understood the hater thing either. I'm a grown up and I can spend my money how I want for the device that best suits my needs. I also look at all devices pros and cons without brand loyalty being part of the question - got a beat up old iphone 4 currently, it works for what I need, it's nicely built and fits in the hand. The galaxy s3 feels cheaper, is far too big but has heaps more features (and lets me get rid of apps I don't want, which Apple don't let me do to Newsstand and the new Passbook). I don't feel a need to get vitriolic arguing over why the phone that I don't have is utterly sh1t.
I honestly think WW3 is going to start as an argument between Apple and Android fanboys! Just pays your money on what you want and enjoy what you bought instead of arguing over what other grownups spend their money on.
Has to be said though I'm enjoying the coverage of Apple's monumental screw up on the Maps, it's hilarious to see them make a huge blunder.
"To comply with EU regulations that stipulate microUSB must be used as the standard connection for all new phones, Apple does offer a Lightning to microUSB adapter for £15 too."
Well then to comply with EU regulations shouldn't Apple supply said adaptor free so that microUSB is used on the new phone AS SOLD?
I do wish Apple would stop marketing their stuff as if it's revolutionary and going to change everyone's lives. Granted the original iPhone changed the smartphone market in a huge way, but now the iPhone of the day is just a very well built bu otherwise unremarkable smartphone among many. I guess I'm just one of those people who likes to actually assess a product's capabilities against my needs and then decide what's best, and I hate the overwhelming smugness of their marketing.
They make very well made, slick and easy to use products which are in a premium price bracket. Not devices which represent the second coming of the Messiah (or some other hugely world-shattering event)
Still....they can't smug their way out of the Maps cock-up. :) Funny stuff, Jobs the perfectionist wouldn't have allowed that release in current state, methinks.
The iPhone 5 is not all it is cracked up to be. My mrs has an iPhone 4S and would advise sticking with that or getting that instead if you must have an iPhone.
1) bad screens - http://forums.macrumors.com...
2) chipped finish out of box -
http://forums.macrumors.com... - with user survey
3) bad home button -
4) screen light leakage -
iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S scratch & scruff test
You're making the assumption that the iPhone 5 is "not all its cracked up to be" because you have one with all those issues or because you've found a few people complaining on a forum about issues that are very rare (apart from the scratching of the back) that haven't even made it to news?
I have an iPhone 5. It hasn't any scratches, it hasn't a dodgy home button, it isn't leaking light and the screen is perfect but if any of those things were to happen, I'd take it to my local apple store and within 5 minutes, I'd be walking out with a brand new handset.
As I've said previously, I love the phone, but I have issues, BUT my issues are common ones that everyone knows about, not one of cases on one forum.
What a ridiculous comment to make! I bet you don't even own an iPhone!
Well said! I am a fan of apple products but I'm growing tired of the over marketing, slow catching up of other products and refusing to expand products past their egos!
Free adaptor please. The ability to put an SD card in my iPad please. A little more flexibility with my UI please! Why can't they listen to the people who have made them what they are!!
@gdawg304 Well said! I honestly don't understand why some people get so carried away that they are branded apple haters or why people hate apple so much to be called apple haters!?
I've always liked apple products but I've always liked Samsung products too. The S3 is a gorgeous looking thing. I just think its too big for what I want in a phone. I'm not going to start slating every other company that isn't apple because I'm a grown up that left school a long time ago. Like what you like, buy what you want and just have a grown up discussion about these things.
Why can't we all just get along!?
errr...you don't think changing the screen size for the first time deserves a new number?
oh don't worry, Jobs would have done it.
If it was about any other phone I would say that you are right. But, Apple's marketing campaign presented iPhone5 as product that makes perfection look sloppy. After such campaign any fault looks like rose thorn in eye.
I bought one for the girlfriend on Friday. Apple duly delivered it exactly on time and the setup went flawlessly. Upgrading from her iPhone 4 to the 5 was absolutely effortless, this is something that Apple do so very well. Backup to iCloud, restore from it, job done.
My comments so far are :-
The quality is stunning. Anyone wanting to see a fun video, go on YouTube and watch the Android guys do a drop test against the S3.
The extra screen real estate is extremely useful (more icons, widescreen, landscape web browsing / gaming) but doesn't really make the phone any bulkier.
It's very slim and much lighter. Incredible considering that it's bigger.
It's very fast. She's gone from a 4 to a 5 and the difference is profound.
After only 1 charge the battery is not lasting as long as expected. She's certainly draining it to 10 / 20% in a days use. Although right now she is using a lot and it's not had many full charges.
She got caught out by the maps app in London on Saturday. Although everyone knows this will improve fast and she don't need it often.
So far. Big improvement.

text: So I have a few questions, before I ask any question I will let you know that on a scale of 1-10 for being mechanically inclined I am a -5 :confused: So here is my problem, I have a 1999 STS seville with 57000 KM so thats about 36000 miles on it, I got it a little under a month ago and 2 weeks ago my check coolant level message came on, I checked and it was low, I thought hmm maybe it was low when I got it so I put some dex-cool in and never thought about it again until about 4 days and maybe 300 km's later the message came on again and it was down to the same level (2-3 inches from the full line) Now the car never over heats, it always stays in the 12 o'clock position, but I have now gone through 2 jugs of dex-cool in about 2000 km's. So my first question is, if it were the head gaskets, would it over heat or is it possible to not over heat and still have blown gaskets? second question is (it may sound stupid but some 2 bit "mechanic" told me this) would my car pass an e-test if it was burning dex-cool because of a blown head gasket? he said it wouldn't pass because of the chemicals that would come out of the tail pipe(my car passed the e-test fine), and he also said that you would smell preston from the tail pipe (i don't) I do however smell it close to the overflow reservoir like it was leaking there, I have never seen any drip marks on the ground and I check constantly, but this mechanic said that there is a plastic under the engine that could be catching it and stopping it from hitting the ground. I had this mechanic check for a leak and he said oh there was a small leak from a clamp on one of the hoses underneath and he replaced it, but it still loses prestone somewhere and I don't really trust him anymore, so I am asking here. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Crazy Love
By Amir Abrams
Kamiyah Nicols is a shining student at a prestigious art school with her sights set on Julliard. Then one day she meets Sincere Lewis and fall madly in love, giving a whole new meaning to madly. Soon she is skipping school and her entire life begins to revolve around Sincere and what began as infatuation soon turns into obsession.
From the synopsis I had read of this book I thought it would take a more sinister turn, true things do go over the top but not as far as I thought it would. What this book turned out to be was a young spoiled girl learning to love. What is right and wrong in a relationship, and how you must be secure with yourself in order to truly appreciate the person you love. I have to say Kamiyah drove me nuts she was a spoiled brat who manipulated everyone around her, but if she had not been this novel would not have been as moving and poignant as it turned out to be. It is well worth the read, I am not sure I would classify this as a coming of age story but it seems to come with a wonderful lesson.

It's a damn shame to take a team with a supportive fan base and leave town. And aren't they going to be playing in a 30,000 seat stadium for a few years? Well now that will be some excellent close-to-the-action viewing while it lasts, but it speaks to a bigger change in the

Meanwhile, after a disappointing season end but one filled with promise for 2017...the latest update on football in the Nation's Capitol:

Tom Brady's triumph or Kyle Shanahan's failure?
Falcons failure.

Yup. Falcons defense...

While the defense failed, in my eyes it was a bone-headed decision by Shanahan to abandon the run late in the fourth when they were on the NE 22 - fairly good field goal position. A field goal would have given them an 11 point lead and left Brady about 3 minutes to score twice.
Not a clinch when Brady is involved, but a two score game.
Instead of running it up the middle to burn time and keep position, the Falcons line up in shotgun formation on 2nd down. The resulting sack moved them out back to the 35. The next play was also a pass, and holding was called on Atlanta. Move 'em back and call it 3rd and 33 from the 45. No longer a chip shot field goal.
The rest is history.
Damn pats.
Doug Baldwin won the 2016 NFL Network's Catch of the Year.
A great one-handed catch, voted as best of the year! Great job, Doug.
Also, Lynch visited the Raiders (un-retire?)
It's official.
'Beast-Mode' Marshawn Lynch is an Oakland Raider.
We got a 5th round pick next year for him.
The main thing is he didn't un-retire and want to be a Seahawk. We'd have to pay him 9M if he did. Whew...
