Samsung Galaxy S III vs HTC One X vs Galaxy Nexus vs iPhone 4S: spec comparison
0. phoneArena posted on 03 May 2012, 16:07
The Samsung Galaxy S III is not only the beautiful handset with design inspired from nature and targetting - for a change - humans, but also a muscular silicon beast on the inside…

Spec wise galaxy s3,looks wise one x. Its a hard call!
2. JunaidZaka posted on 03 May 2012, 16:18 19 7
Why all the hate for S3?
i mean its already superior to all other phones out their
The Exynos processor is going to perform better than the Tegra 3
as for people whining about the camera having only an 8mp sensor
Samsung has kept the same and made it better
now it has more features and take pictures really fast
The screen is just gorgeous!
I do agree with the fact that it looks a bit average in terms of appearence
would have loved the htc one x with these specs because of its overall design

other than not having a rgb screen,how does it lag behind the one x,it has bigger battery,faster processor,removable battery and sd card...lol seriously how on earth is it lagging behind the 4s..what does the 4s have that the s3...and before you say the one x has better build and material,they are both made out of polycarbonate

Agree! taz89 I am all in for G3, I was going to get the HTC X But no removable battery and sd card. But when I heard about the G3, I am all over that when it makes it to the US. So leg behind from other commentors is a joke. Alfa dog here and now is the Samsing G3.

Haters are going to hate, and when some phone brings so much hype it will always get people telling how much better some other option is, be it the truth or not.
The more success Samsung has the worse it will become.
I think the phone it's gorgeous, it's just not for me as I don't like phones with such a huge screens.
So I'll keep dreaming of a Samsugn Galaxy S II plus (with an upgraded screen resolution of 540 x 960 and the new 4212 32 nm Soc for better battery life). That would be perfect for me.

Don't forget, expandable SD slots and removable battery, on top of that the battery is bigger than any of the HTC...

64Gb+64GB micro sd=128GB's over any other phone usually maxing at 64 with or without expansion? Game splurge here i come!
51. Commentator posted on 03 May 2012, 17:33 1 0
Is it able to accept 64GB micro SDs? I know a lot of phones out there can only support up to 32. In any case, it would be more than most of the competition (with the exception of the PadFone, which has 64 built-in, has a Micro SD slot, and the keyboard dock has 2 USB ports plus a full-size SD slot, which totals out to potentially support hundreds of GBs... but again, that's including the keyboard...)
58. kshell1 posted on 03 May 2012, 17:42 3 0
It more than likely does if its considering itself flagship. Some phones say they support up to 32 but actually support 64. Im hoping so because i have 5 8gb sd cards i have to use and its extremely frustrating having to switch

@ amoled-sucks,
How about saying at least one thing to backup your ignorant remarks? What are you? Some screen tech buff? Do you even know the difference between LCD Plus, Super AMOLED Plus, and Retina Display--and how they really affect the viewing experience? Give us something good so that we don't think your some iPhone prude that doesn't know why they like one thing over another. Anything....Say something intellegent and leave your wit at the door.

samsung has doing a good job for the memory part... but in term of price... (assume the price is same)
Galaxy s3 = Free 16gb internal + expensive microSD
One X = Free 32gb internal + 2years Free 25gb dropbox
Therefore i pick one X :)
118. Lboogey6 posted on 04 May 2012, 05:15 1 0
gs3 = up to 64Gb + 50g of dropbox + removable larger battery + better processor
One x = no comparison
Try again oh I have an idea get a blackberry

5. kingpet13 posted on 03 May 2012, 16:24 6 3
Why is the iphone considered such a good phone? The only category it comes even close in is pixel density which is because of the small screen. I know that it is older, but so is the s2 which is still keeping up in everything but screen resolution, and the quad core proccesors. The iphone 4s is more of a low end android with a high pixel density that charges as much as a high end device.
10. taco50 (banned) posted on 03 May 2012, 16:31 4 13
You have to use one to find out.
Looking at straight specs iPhone wins in screen resolution, is tied on camera, but due to lens will beat the phones on camera quality, ties or beats in memory.
The processor is clocked slower, but it's actually smoother than all the android phones and even with less ram is smoother and less force closes.
Only thing left is no LTE. That's an android advantage at the moment.
12. JunaidZaka posted on 03 May 2012, 16:36 4 2
Its smoother because it has a simple ui which doesnt eat much ram as android
try jailbreaking it and intalling tweaks from cydia to modify its overall ui such as toggles in notification bar, transition animations etc and then you will notice it lag more than android
I do own an iPhone 4 for the record
13. TROLL posted on 03 May 2012, 16:36 2 1
Well obviously the ios is half baked
It only requires 140 mb ov ram to run ios
Whers Android requires 360 mb ov ram
15. taco50 (banned) posted on 03 May 2012, 16:38 3 7
It's a well written OS. Smartphones have limited resources unlike PC's. Apple did a great job with iOS.
19. remixfa posted on 03 May 2012, 16:42 12 4
well written? its just an app launcher drawer with stolen code from Android for drop down notifications.
5 OS's and it still has issues every year with the phone alarm. take your trolling.elsewhere taco. what's a matter? not getting enough hate on your normal threads? mommy ignoring you again today?
75. andro. posted on 03 May 2012, 18:29 1 2
Agreed with the ios launcher drawer description,I was demo-ing an android phone and an iphone to a customer today interested in both. The android phone when you unlock the screen had loads of options and customizations ,clocks live wallpapers,layouts etc. Then i unlocked the iphone screen and it went straight to the iphone app grid,the customers asked what changes can you make to this,the answer is 'not much beside putting a custom wallpaper behind the grid which gets mostly hidden behind it. The iphone os essentially is an app drawer grid with a settings menu added in and now an android notification bar.

Android rushes features out. Apple makes sure they work right. Different strategy. Android isn't nearly as well written code wise as iOS.
80. InspectorGadget80 posted on 03 May 2012, 18:36 0 1
Apple pretends to loose their prototype at a bar. and uses fake Apple POLICE to raid someone else home & raid some guy computers or video camrea that have the prototype iPhone. than announce it over the news and it was all a hoax. and they will do it again this year just to hype it up.

Android linux a full os but lack of CPU power causes to lag a9 is crap for android a15 for android that's power where as written us not the case ios never runs all 40 apps at backgrounds only 1 to 5 is running try ram booster for ios it shows whats running all active data cat logs I own a ip4s 64gb I should no

Why are you talking about code? Have seen it? Its been mention in developer posts earlier that iOS code has tons of statements like -

// do something

Hello there! Hope your weekend was lovely. Since I shared my DIY holiday gift idea on Friday we missed our Friday House Tour, so I figured I would post it today. Are you ready to see a gorgeous ski lodge in beautiful Big Sky country? Come on, let's go…
Ample natural light fills the home with an open, airy feel while the warmth of natural materials connect with the rustic theme.
What a beautiful kitchen with views of a tree covered hillside! Wonderful use of materials here, playing light off dark with stripes of color seen in the rugs. Some of my favorite appliance brands too including a Sub-Zero fridge and Asko dishwasher.
Love the cozy feel of the family room and the bold use of dark woods and strong patterns seen in the pillows and sofa. A stunning light fixture by Dessin Fournir.
A tranquil and inviting master suite, using soft layers of gray. Great idea with the drapery panels framing the bed – this treatment really makes the bed the focal point.
The bathroom is perfectly refined but still luxurious with a fabulous tub from Waterworks and a decadent fireplace. Now – that's how you defrost after a day on the mountain!
Wouldn't you love to spend a winter getaway in this home?

Somewhat Disappointed

Comments about Canon� Printing Medium Duty Calculators; MP11DX, 12-Digit, 2-Color:
I purchased this calculator to replace one that is about 15 years old. I use it mainly as a cashier when I work for an auctioneer at public auctions. I thought I would get one for heavy duty use and while I like the calculator I am having a very annoying issue with some of the numeric keys sticking. I would probably return it but I have used it at 2 auctions and do not feel I can return it now that I have used it. If the keys continue to stick, I will have to consider replacing the calculator but will certainly do a little more research before replacing.
Great Product Good Price

About Me Enthusiast
I needed a caculator that had a clear display with printout capabilities and this was exactly what I wanted, it works well the price was very fair, also it has the ribbons that can be changed out which is a plus for me because on some of the other models you see without ribbons once they fade out they are never the same, so if you plan on using a caculator frequently and for an extended period of time I would say this is the way to go. I shopped around and for the quality and price Staples had the best deal.

Stay Away From This Calculator
By Thumper
from Lafayette, CA
I have used Canon calculators in the past and have been very happy with the functionality and longevity. However, I purchased this calculator for business, and after 7 months, it stopped performing functions. Spaples replaced it and one month later the new calculator began having the same problem. I was able to enter numbers, but nothing else. This time I am replacing it with a different brand! I honestly don't think I've ever had a calculator stop working. This is one to stay away from.

TxDOT Executive Director Phil Wilson sent an email to TxDOT employees Thursday notifying staff that the agency had requested proposals from private firms to improve the agencies' IT function.
"Quite simply, we should always be looking at how to do things better," Wilson wrote in the email. "And that's exactly what we're doing with our IT program. The RFP published last week enables us to learn about how people outside of TxDOT could improve our IT function."
TxDOT requested $188 million for "information resources" in the Legislature's next two-year budget, including $30 million for salaries and wages.
TxDOT officials have said modernizing its information system is a top priority. The agency's computing system dates back to the 1980s and has been described by TxDOT officials as arcane and inefficient in handling an enterprise of 12,000 employees that works with billions of dollars each year. The agency said in an August report that IT issues have contributed to "a lack of financial transparency."
Wilson has said working with the agency's IT system has been among the most daunting challenges in trying to lead the agency and make it more efficient since he was named executive director in late 2011.
"We have basically a Harry Potter algorithm that four people understand and they get into the magic room and they can plug in the code and [access] our financial data," Wilson told The Texas Tribune in May. "It is truly our greatest internal need from a technical standpoint. We have a mission critical problem that we have to address."
While informing TxDOT staff that the agency may outsource some or all of its IT functions in the near future, Wilson also said the agency's current IT department has the chance to fight for its own survival.
"We're providing our team additional resources to help demonstrate our ability to drive our own improvement program," he wrote. "If you are a member of the IT staff, this is your time to shine even more and show us your best work. ... Today, we have made no decision on what path to take."
Over the last year, Wilson has spoken extensively about transferring some of TxDOT's functions to the private sector to cut costs and improve efficiency. In August, it announced plans to seek proposals from private firms to handle routine maintenance on major highways near the state's cities.

Summary: The Global Terrorism Database II (GTD2) project was undertaken to address the fact that there is little robust empirical analysis of terrorism. Due to this lack of available empirical data regarding terrorism, the researchers sought to code and verify a previously unavailable dataset composed of terrorist events recorded for the entire world from 1998 through 2004.

DOBSON — Extension Community Association (ECA) members have announced the winners in their annual Cultural Arts Event as they continue their tradition of not only offering cultural enrichment classes but another outlet for creative expression locally for rural families.
"This is an event where ECA members can participate in to show what they have learned from classes they have taken through the organization," said Surry County Coordinator Susan Johnson. "In previous years we were known as the Extension Homemakers. We've had a great turnout this year and we're very pleased."
Johnson said ECA life enrichment efforts are expressed through eight clubs in the county and the recent event featured 30 exhibits which ranged from quilting, sewing and knitting to painting.
"You'll see a variety of cultural and heritage skills represented here," added Johnson. "We even had exhibits of pressed flowers, creative writing and poetry. There's just a little bit of an edge of competition in this. We had two from the same club competing and it's cute to see them talking as they are trying to figure out who will win."
She said the arts event's exhibits often are influenced by what is trending among the ladies. This year she said there was an increase in needle arts projects. Johnson said it is good see the impact of workshops and classes influence the exhibitors. First, second and third places were awarded to exhibitors. First-place winners will advance to the district competition and district winners advance to state competition.
"Anytime ladies get together in the county with these organizations there's a lot of fellowship going on," said Johnson, who said traditionally these events were part of the social fabric of rural counties. "Because of all that is usually going on in our lives, you're always eager to see who is at the county meetings and catch up. Everyone who entered this year received a ribbon. We think that's important."
Johnson said membership is open to anyone in the association's clubs. Persons who want more information may call the extension office at 401-8025. She encouraged interested persons to visit the clubs. Johnson said membership, overall, has been declining in the organization and speculated that demands on people's time because of work schedules may be a factor.
Gloria Bryant won first place in the sewing category with her machine applique and wall hangings. Susan Johnson was first in the handiwork category with her "Glory" cross-stitch. In the knitting category, Mary Sue Chapman was first with a red sweater. Susan Johnson was second with a good neighbor scarf. Carolyn Martin and Marilyn Gieger tied for third in the category with scarfs as well.
In the crochet category, Ann Davis took top honors with a red afghan. Sue Chandler and Carolyn Martin tied for second place. Chandler's entry was a red, short cape and Martin had a flowered afghan. Vera Mears and Marilyn Gieger tied for third with prayer shawls.
Ida Johnson won the embroidery category with a pendant ribbon. Becky Hill was first in heritage skills with a pressed flower display. In the Christmas decorations category, Martin was first with a Christmas candle arrangement, Johnson was second with a beaded snowflake and Marie Poole was third with a glittered tree.
Jean Ingram was first in the jewelry category with a bracelet and Ida Johnson finished second with her necklace entry. Gloria Bryant took first place in the quilt category with a hand-pieced quilt she made from feed sacks. Gloria Bryant also took first place in this category with her wall hanging titled "Petal Play."
Marie Poole's standing wreath earned her top honors in the flower arranging category and Goldie Sparger was second with flowers in a bowl arrangement. In photography, Nancy Downs was first with a color photo of a squirrel and Marilyn Gieger was second with a color photo titled crocus in snow.
Mary Sue Chapman was first in the fine arts category with her oil painting of a bluebird. In the miscellaneous category, Nancy Downs was first with a tie-dyed green scarf and Susan Johnson was second with a card. Marilyn Gieger was first in the creative writing category with her poem "Bloom where you are planted" and Joy Hemmings was also first with a short story.

Kittery, ME 03904
Subjects Taught Piano, Music Theory
About Me
My love for the piano started at a very young age, I was 5 years old when I had my first lesson and even though my mom thought my hands were too small to play piano, it didn't take me long to prove her wrong. I was classically trained through college and have been part of many musical groups that have helped me expand and deepen my understanding of sonic expression. I am currently the music director for 2 churches in the seacoast area, as well as, belong to an instrumental rock band in the Portland area.
I have been teaching piano since High School and really enjoy being able to bring the magic of music into someones life. The lessons you will receive from me are created specifically for you. Maybe you love Beethoven, or maybe you would rather play the Beetles. Perhaps Lady Gaga is your style, or Jazz is a favorite of yours. With your goals in mind, I create lessons that you will love to learn. My hope is to take you on a musical journey you might never forget.

Wow, a lot of different topics discussed here! Thanks Vienna for taking the time to satiate your fans' curiosity.
Interesting mention about Korean food. I had a really really excellent Korean tofu house experience in New York several years back. Light, clean food but really tasty...unfortunately I can't remember the name. We stumbled upon the place by accident. Tried a few Korean tofu places in the South Bay when I was living in Santa Clara, but none of them could match up. Also tried a place in Seoul that served "Royal Court Cuisine." Perhaps no one really eats that stuff these days but it was interesting, and at least quite different from the usual bbq and bi bim bap that I'm used to seeing in restaurants. One of the dishes was something like abalone and tiger prawn in seafood broth with ginko nuts. If you're ever in Korea, and ready to splurge a bit, it might be worth a try, if only for curiosity sake.
Okay, those aren't really answers to your question. But you may very well have tried anything I might recommend, since I'm local.... Here's two places.
If you eat Ethiopian food, and haven't tried it yet, there's Zeni restaurant in San Jose. I'd tried a couple other places and thought the food tasted much better here. But who am I to judge Ethiopian food? However, the Erytrian security guard in my building later recommended it to me as "the best restaurant in the Bay Area...people go from San Francisco to eat there." www.zenirestaurant.com
Here's another, a French bistro type place in SF. The Butler and the Chef Bistro. Good food, cute little place in a cute location (South Park!), and you can't beat the name of their website.
Merry Christmas!

Short on goals, Red Wings still focus on defense
DETROIT — Since Detroit's eight-goal outburst on Feb. 24 against the Vancouver Canucks, goals scored have come at a premium the Wings.
They've scored a total of three goals over their last three games, one in each.
"The way I look at our group, we've got to continue to get better defensively and if we do that we'll get offense in the end," Wings coach Mike Babcock said after practice Monday at Joe Louis Arena. "A few weeks ago we scored more goals, but I sure like the way we're playing better right now. To me, you can't outscore your mistakes, and we're trying to limit them.
"Even yesterday when we never touched the puck, (Chicago) wouldn't let us play with it in the first, we were on the inside," Babcock continued. "When we go through the scoring chances, they were muddy pucks around the net, but they didn't have many clear chances, so that's what we need to continue to work on."
The Wings are 1-1-1 during this three-game stretch.
"I think we're going to be all right the rest of the way," forward Drew Miller said. "(Jimmy Howard) is playing really great and our D is coming along really well. The forward lines aren't scoring as much as we'd like to, but we're getting a lot of good chances.
"Everyone needs to chip in more," Miller added. "Our line, I know we've had some success in the past, but the last little while we haven't been able to find the back of the net. That's something we have to pick up too."
Detroit's last three goals have come from a defenseman, Kyle Quincey, and two bottom six forwards, Patrick Eaves and Tomas Tatar.
"I think we've actually played some good hockey and I think we've generated quite a few chances," defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "Last half of game yesterday we had some point blank opportunities, great opportunities in the slot, just couldn't bear down. We just have to find a way to get those in the net and we win games, but at the same time, keep playing solid defensively."
The Wings have been getting shots on goal, 33 in two of the games and 34 in the shootout win over San Jose. They had just 23 shots when they put eight by Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo. Continued...
"They're not all scoring chances, usually it's just trying to create scoring chances, that's where most shots come from," forward Johan Franzen said. "We know it's hard to score off the rush, it's been hard for a while now. Just crash the net and throw pucks in there and hope for the best. When you struggle for a while, once everything gets going, everything seems easier."
Ins and outs
Babcock said he hasn't decided who's in or out of his lineup for Tuesday's meeting with Colorado.
However, considering how they skated at practice it looks as if the same players who have dressed the last three games will play against the Avalanche, meaning Ian White and Kent Huskins will be healthy scratches.
Jimmy Howard will start in goal.
Forward Valtteri Filppula (left shoulder) skated on his own before practice.
"It didn't feel too bad, but I still feel it, so it's not the best situation, but getting better."
It was his first time on the ice since last Sunday.
Filppula did a little bit of puck handling but did not shoot the puck.
Wings GM Ken Holland said Sunday that he doesn't expect Filppula to be ready these next two games. Continued...
"It's tough to say, that's what's frustrating," Filppula said. "You don't miss that much time but you miss a lot of games. Today was first day I felt better, good enough to go out there and skate a little bit so I'm happy about that. Stick handling was OK. I tried to shoot a little bit but that didn't work that well, so I think that's going to be the toughest thing."
Defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo (shoulder) has yet to be cleared to return.
"I'm at a point right now where I'm not having any setbacks but I need more of the conditioning on the ice, with the battle and strength stuff, game situations," Colaiacovo said after practice. "I thought I'd be at a better point today. I'm better but not where I want to be. I'm at such a crucial point right now, with so many games coming up, me being out this long, I want to make sure it's 100 percent feeling good."
Colaiacovo has played two games this season.
"It's very close," he said. "There's a lot of good things happening every day. Mentally and physically we're going to continue to take the time we need. If I wake up tomorrow and it feels different, then great. We'll just take it a day a time right now.
"I'm at a point right now where I just want to play hockey," Colaiacovo continued. "When I come back, I want to stay in there for the rest of the season. Don't want to have to look back. Focus on the positives and do whatever I can to help this team."

Bowel Transit Time
Test Overview
A bowel transit time test measures how long it takes for food to travel through the Reference digestive tract Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window. After you chew and swallow your food, it moves into your stomach, where it is mixed with acid and digestive Reference enzymes Opens New Window. After your food leaves your stomach, it is squeezed through your small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed for use by your body. The food then goes into your large intestine (colon) where water is absorbed. Whatever hasn't been digested and absorbed by your intestines combines with bacteria and other waste products and becomes stool (feces). Stool is expelled from your body through your anus. The time it takes for food to travel from your mouth through your digestive tract to your anus is your bowel transit time. Sometimes, just the time it takes for food to travel through the colon is measured. This is called the colonic transit time.
Bowel transit time depends on what types of food you eat and how much you drink. For example, people who eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains tend to have shorter transit times than people who eat mostly sugars and starches. Because different people have different transit times, experts disagree about how useful this test is. Some doctors do not recommend bowel transit time testing.
For this test, you swallow one or more gel capsules filled with markers that will show up on an Reference X-ray Opens New Window. The markers look like white spots or rings in the X-ray pictures. When you will have X-rays depends on the type of test done. Most commonly, you will have an X-ray test 5 days after swallowing the markers. This will show how the markers have moved through your intestines. Or you may swallow multiple capsules full of markers on three days in a row. In this case, you will have X-ray tests on multiple days to check the progress of the markers through your intestines.

It's established that long periods of sitting (like the kind writers and editors do) adversely affects metabolic health and increases risk for cardiovascular problems, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic health concerns, like breast and colon cancer.
Recent science shows that even vigorous exercise doesn't completely offset long periods of sitting. Marc Hamilton, an inactivity researcher, told the New York Times that sitting causes electrical activity in the muscles to "go as silent as those of a dead horse."
And now comes evidence that sitting is making us dumber, too. Or, at least, less smart.
The headline finding of a recent study was that the "working memory performance" improved when participants were allowed to walk at their own speed compared to when they were...

TELL US: Your Thoughts About Jerry Sandusky's Sentence
The former Penn State University assistant football coach was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison Tuesday morning.
Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to 30-60 years in prison Tuesday after being found guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse, according to a Hatboro-Horsham Patch report.
In the closed proceedings at the Centre County Courthouse, Judge John M. Cleland heard arguments from prosecutors, then the defense, then victims, and finally Sandusky, who had the last word before the sentence was given, according to Hatboro-Horsham Patch. Sandusky himself denied the allegations he faced.
In addition to the charges of child sexual abuse, Sandusky was convicted of molesting 10 boys over the course of 15-years. It was alleged that Sandusky used his charitable organization for troubled children as a way to locate boys to become his victims.
While the update comes from Pennsylvania, we're wondering what residents in Massachusetts think about the widely-reported news of Sandusky's charges, and subsequently, his sentencing on Tuesday.
Do you agree with Sandusky's sentence? Let us know in the comment section below.
9:50 pm on Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Sandusky is a modern day monster. Good riddence. I hope you are treated as you so deserve in prison.
Steve Hopkins
8:00 am on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
A monster and professes his innocense! (is that spelled correctly?!)
Hopefully the last we will hear of or from him!
His wife should be getting a divorce!
9:03 am on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
His wife should have been charged with aiding and abetting a child molester. She knew what was going on downstairs in that house of horrors and turned a deaf ear to it. She was just as wrong as Joe Paterno.
Gretchen Robinson
3:47 pm on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
you combined "innocence" and "sense" perhaps....
it is common "sense" and common decency that he receive this
kind of sentence.
Will the public learn our lesson. All I know it that I am going to try
to go to the Big Read event, "Darkness to Light Training" where participants can lean about preventing and responding to sexual abuse. We all can turn this horrific incident into educating ourselves to "prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse." Thursday, Oct. 25. 8:30am to 11:30am. We own it to our children and our grand children to be better informed.
Attleboro Public Library 508-222-0157. (I am just a library patron and am not representing the APl).

But if she divorces him, he won't get conjugal visits.
Gretchen Robinson
3:55 pm on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Paul, I agree. I think she knew, just from reports I've heard about her hearing a commotion in their downstairs recreation room. How horrible to not go help a child, to not go and find out what was going on.
The news had a report that former asst. coach Mike McQuerry (sp?) is suing University of Penn. There will be civil cases that will keep this in the news for a long time.
Children's Advocacy Center of Bristol County
10:14 am on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Our agency is 1 of 800 Children Advocacy Centers in the USA that provides the place and process for child victims of sexual abuse to disclose their abuse. And, we are 1 of 11 in the state of Massachusetts, with each dedicated to their respective county. Our agency serves child victims of abuse in Bristol County. You just need to spend 1 day here to realize how serious and pervasive child sexual abuse is. Mr. Sandusky's declaration of innocence boggles anyone's mind. Kids don't make up this stuff. If you support the fact that no child deserves to be abused, please like our Facebook page at Children's Advocacy Center of Bristol County. Thank you.
Gretchen Robinson
3:51 pm on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Children's Advocacy Center: thank you for the statement above. Child sexual abuse is indeed a "serious and pervasive" problem affecting children at all levels of society. I worked as a community minister in this area and am aware of many, many adult survivors of child sexual abuse. Typically, they grew to adulthood without telling anyone.
Please post a link to your agency and I will be in touch.

Completeness Itamar Moses's academic romcom deftly blends relationships with research. Elliott (Matt Holzfeind) and Molly (Kristina Valada-Viars) are graduate students at the same college. When the two meet-cute in a campus computer lab, Elliott offers to build Molly an algorithm to help refine her data for a research project. Jeremy Wechsler's smart, handsome staging, with a sleek set by Joe Schermoly and video design by Michael Stanfill, rides the line between sensual and cerebral. The charismatic Holzfeind and Valada-Viars parlay higher math and genome mapping into persuasive pillow talk, demonstrating proficiency in yet another scientific discipline: chemistry. Theater Wit. 8pm. $18–$36.
Andrea Pitzer on The Secret History of Vladimir Nabokov
When Andrea Pitzer first read Nabokov as a college student, she wasn't an immediate fan. "I didn't mind violence, or sex, or protagonists who were not nice—I didn't even need them to reform," she writes in the introduction to her first book, The Secret History of Vladimir Nabokov. "But I wanted the events and the people in his books to matter."
Nabokov escaped Bolshevik Russia, Nazi Germany (with his Jewish wife and son) and then Occupied France. He witnessed unimaginable violence and tragedy in his lifetime (1899–1977). Even while he's praised for being a brilliant prose stylist, he's criticized for his indifference to these political atrocities.
But what if the Lolita author folded hidden layers of meaning into his books—stories that "have something profound to teach us about being human and our very way of interacting with art"? That's what Pitzer finds in The Secret History, drawing on information from court cases, FBI files, Red Cross records and other forgotten or newly declassified documents. I recently spoke with the D.C.-based writer about her revelatory new book.
You talk about being drawn to Nabokov's writing when you were 18. Did you have the sense, even then, that there was more to his books than gorgeous sentences?
When I first encountered his work when I was young, it was, Wow, this guy really knows how to write, but he's freaking me out. I really identified with Lolita the character, but what happened to her seemed so horrific that, while I appreciated the skill that went into [the novel], I didn't want to immerse myself too fully in it. The second time, I thought, This language is really so incredible. Let me give it more of a chance. As I read more and more, I sensed there was more to his books, but it was a really long time before I went back to find out what that was.

Art shows to see now
"Model Studies" | Graham Foundation

Through June 1.
"Kate Levant: Inhuman Indifference" | moniquemeloche
Levant, whose work appeared in the 2012 Whitney Biennial, experiments with traditionally feminine objects such as hosiery and earrings. In the gallery's "on the wall" storefront-window project space, Sanford Biggers's site-specific installation Argo engages the Underground Railroad's use of quilts. Through June 8.
"For and Against Modern Art: The Armory Show + 100" | DePaul Art Museum
The 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art (a.k.a. the Armory Show) attracted a record 189,000 visitors when it stopped in Chicago. Reuniting prints, drawings and paintings that future heavyweights such as Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso presented there, "For and Against Modern Art" delves into the controversies ignited by these avant-garde works. Through June 16.
"FRAGMENT: Sampling the Modern" and "Cody Hudson: Flip Your Wig." | Elmhurst Art Museum
Recently appointed Chief Curator Staci Boris continues to steer the Elmhurst Art Museum in exciting directions—this time, with a group exhibition that showcases local emerging and mid-career artists. Leslie Baum, Diana Guerrero-Maciá, Jessica Labatte and Adam Scott sample elements of visual culture (ads, symbols, urban debris, art history) in bold, color-saturated works that reflect both 20th-century abstract modernism and contemporary culture. Meanwhile, Cody Hudson fills the EAM's Hostetler Gallery with large-scale sculptures from scrap wood and metal. Opens May 3.
Big Boi at Park West | Concert photos
Big Boi represented the A (that's the ATL, a.k.a. Phatlanta, a.k.a. Hotlanta, a.k.a. Atlanta) at Park West on Wednesday, May 1. Though he did salute Chicago by wearing some crispy Air Jordan IVs in Bulls red and black. Supported by the fantastic Killer Mike, the (please don't make us say "former") Outkast man ripped through hits and cuts from his most recent LP, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors.
It's National Burger Month
At Time Out, we consider every month National Burger Month, hence we weren't about to argue with the Marketing "Department," when "they" informed us that May is actually National Burger Month. Since Googling (or, now that we use Microsoft Outlook, should I say, "Bing-ing"?) "Who decided May is National Burger Month" only led to a bunch of Internet astroturf, we're just going to have to recommend you read the awesome burger issue we put out during the unofficial burger month of March. Check out our picks for the best restaurant burgers in Chicago, discover the fries you need to eat with them, learn how to DIY the perfect burger, and join in our debate between new-school and old-school burger joints.
Download the new mixtape by Chance the Rapper
We're done with Chief Keef now, right? Okay, good. Let's move on.
It's inevitable and stupid that Chance the Rapper will be compared to Chief Keef. Yes, both are from the South Side, but their differences run far deeper than one being from Englewood, the other from Chatham. The headier and occassionally silly hip-hop of Chancelor "Chance" Bennett has nothing to do with trap, the machine-like, trigger-obsessed trunk rumble of Keef, Lil Durk, Lil Reese, et al. Because of geography, Kanye comparisons are common, too, but that's not exactly right, either. Well, Chance perhaps calls to mind College Dropout, when Kayne was nerdier and hungry.
No, the first rapper that came to mind when hearing Chance, one of our most anticipated acts of Lollapalooza, was Childish Gambino, who appears on the fantastic new mixtape Acid Rap. The 20-year-old rhymes in a voice that is loose and nasally. Sometimes, he naturally slips into a patois, like an unexpectedly wanted hybrid of Humpty and Horance Andy. Acid is an apt description. We're flashing back to the playful, sample-happy, soulful golden era of De La Soul, Leaders of the New School, the Pharcyde and other psychedelic early-'90s troupes.
To cut to the chase: The kid is going to blow up. Soon. And Acid Rap is both an immediate Chicago-scene classic and free. So get it.
Next Theatre Company's 2013–14 season
Evanston's Next Theatre Company has announced its three-play lineup for the 2013–14 season, to include Compulsion by Rinne Groff, Luck of the Irish by Kirsten Greenidge and The Great God Pan by Amy Herzog.
Groff's Compulsion (October 10–November 17) is a fictionalized take on the writer Meyer Levin's obsessive professional relationship with the diary of Anne Frank. Devon de Mayo, who helmed the U.S. stage premiere of Everything Is Illuminated at Next earlier this year, returns to direct. Greenidge's Luck of the Irish (January 16–February 23), about a black couple in 1950s Boston engaging an Irish family to "ghost-buy" a house in a white neighborhood, will be staged by Damon Kiely.
Herzog, meanwhile, is emerging as a major force: The Brooklyn-based playwright's 4000 Miles, which was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize last month, will be staged at Northlight Theatre in the fall, while Steppenwolf is set to mount her Belleville next month. The Great God Pan (April 3–May 11), about a man receiving troubling news of a possible childhood trauma of which he has no memory, will be directed by Kimberly Senior, who staged Herzog's After the Revolution at Next last year.

I'm using PSE 9.
I want to make my own "frame" similar to what the border on old photos looked like. I created a white square, then added a new layer and created a slightly smaller black square (for what I think would be a mask?) and then made sure both layers were centered both vertically and horizontally.
I saved it as a psd, but the layers merged. I tried it as a png, and the layers also merged. I tried interlaced and non-interlaced and got the same results.
I know I'm missing something somewhere, probably something very simple. Thanks in advance!

Making A Basic White Frame maybe a mask?
Posted 19 September 2011 - 09:17 PM
How are you making the frames? Are they shapes? If they are you might be putting them on the same layer without realizing it.Try creating a new layer before you draw the second shape.
Posted 19 September 2011 - 10:31 PM
Becky, when you save as a PSD file, and the box comes up for you to choose the format that you want to save as, towards the bottom of the box there is an option to Save: layers - did you make sure the layers box is checked? Also, when you save as a png this option would be grayed out - you can't save a png file with layers. Does this help any?
Posted 20 September 2011 - 05:05 AM
Thanks! I'll take a look at my settings. I hadn't before because when I save my LO's as a PSD the layers remain intact. And the stroke suggestion should work quite well, too. It sounds like I was making it more difficult than it should have been.
Posted 20 September 2011 - 12:07 PM
If it's a heritage photo, you could make your stroke a cream color, too.
Posted 22 September 2011 - 11:45 PM
Another way to do this is after you draw your first box, and then add the second box on a new layer within the first box, do "ctrl-click" on the inner box layer thumbnail to get the marching ants, then highlight the larger layer with the marching ants active, then hit delete. That will leave you with a frame shape that you can clip a paper to, add a style to it, etc. Then delete your inner box layer altogether.

A BSN degree prepares you to work in all health care settings and provides the greatest opportunity for advancement in today's nursing field. Robert Morris University's BSN degree is a 127-credit program offering two different "tracks" of study, designed to meet each student's specific needs.
The Traditional Track is designed for high school graduates without a college degree or R.N. licensure. The first two years of the program involve core courses in liberal arts and sciences with the nursing courses beginning in the second semester of the sophomore year. Clinical courses beginning in the junior year. Students in this track are admitted to the nursing program as freshmen or as transfer students but must meet progression criteria to advance to clinical nursing courses.
The Second Degree Track is for students who already hold a baccalaureate degree in other fields, such as science, humanities or business. Students must complete the RMU core requirements plus 27-31 prerequisite credits prior to beginning clinical courses. Depending on the previous degree, varying numbers of these credits can be filled by advanced placement or transfer credits. Once admitted to clinical courses, students can complete the degree in four semesters over 15 months.
Following the completion of the B.S.N. degree, students are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) required for practice as a registered nurse.

The PS3 Slim was reported as running on 34% less power than the previous 'fat' PlayStation 3 model, however, that figure is inaccurate.
CNET's Crave (linked above) decided not to take Sony's press releases at their word, and instead plugged a Slim into machines to test its actual power output. And their findings are a little surprising!
The Slim uses a lot less power than Sony have given it credit for. In standby mode, it's around 70% more efficient, while playing games and Blu-Rays its just over 50% more efficient.
In relative terms, it appears the PS3 Slim is now a lot more efficient than it's fatter, older, more wasteful brother. Those interested can check out the Power Consumption chart below!
