Samsung has finally revealed the successor to the Galaxy S2 and surprisingly it's called the Samsung Galaxy S3. We've finally had the illustrious smartphone in for some thorough testing so without further ado here's what we think about the Samsung Galaxy S3. Updated on 06/06/12. See also: Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 vs Galaxy SIII vs Galaxy Note II comparison review.
Samsung Galaxy S3: Design
The design of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is similar to its predecessor but different at the same time. For starters the phone is much more rounded with smooth flowing lines and rounded corners and edges, somewhat like the Galaxy Nexus. It looks much sleeker than the Galaxy S2.
Go to Samsung Galaxy S3 specs and pictures.
We're disappointed that Samsung has kept the physical home button which is saddled by two touch sensitive counterparts for Back and Menu. The Home button is a too thin and narrow and we'd much rather a full set of touch buttons but you can't have everything.
One design flaw is the lack of a Recent Apps button to access the multi-tasking feature of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Instead you have to hold the home button down, not something we found intuitive at all.
The buttons and ports are spread out around the handset with Power on the right, Volume on left, microUSB on the bottom and the 3.5mm headphone jack on the top. The buttons are easy enough to reach and have a nice action, although we would prefer the Volume rocker to be a little larger.
Samsung said the shape is 'inspired by nature' but we don't really care - what matters more is the size, weight and feel. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is very thin and light for such a large phone at just 8.6mm and 133g. It is comfortable to hold, partly because Samsung has reduced the bezel size keeping the dimensions down as much as possible.
The smartphone is almost exactly the same size as the HTC One X at 71 x 137 mm. It's a really big phone and though it's comfortable to hold it is sometimes difficult to use, having to stretch across the large screen with one hand simply due to its size. This is coming from a user with quite large hands so we fear that for a lot of users the device will be just too big for day-to-day usage. Visit: Samsung Galaxy S3 vs HTC One X comparison review.
The Galaxy S3 handset is available in pebble blue and marble white. The former has a nice brushed finish while the latter a glossy sheen. Both look nice but we prefer the blue option.
Samsung Galaxy S3 video review
Galaxy S3: video review
Samsung Galaxy S3: Build quality
We can't help but feel the Galaxy S3 has too much of a plasticy feel, mainly brought about by its flimsy removable rear cover which effectively peels away from the back. This is a let-down and not something we want to see from such a 'premium' smartphone with such a high price tag.
Despite the overwhelming use of plastic, the Galaxy S3 feels well made. The thin metal rim running around the edge gives the phone good strength, offering only a small amount of flex when put under strain. The one-piece glass front feels especially nice so ignoring the rear cover it's a good effort.
Samsung Galaxy S3: Hardware
As expected the Galaxy S3 is powered by Samsung's own Exynos 4 Quad processor, something we actually knew before the launch event. It is a 32nm chip based on the ARM Cortex A9 quad-core architecture and has a clock speed of 1.4GHz.
Strangely Samsung hasn't specified the amount of RAM but our benchmarking app tells us that it has 780MB which the specification sheet would probably tout as 1GB.
In the GeekBench 2 test the Galaxy S3 managed a score of 1659. Samsung has managed to achieve the kind of smooth performance only reached by Apple's iPhone. It's the kind of situation where we struggled to make the Galaxy S3, er, struggle.
For example, the phone can play video content in a pop-out window while you do other tasks. If you want proof of performance then there you have it. Other demanding tasks such as scrolling and zooming on a desktop version of website just happen with no lag; the processor puts up no fuss whatsoever.
The biggest lag we found was the short delay between pressing the power button to wake the handset up and the screen coming to life. But even then the delay was minor.
In terms of internal storage, the Galaxy S3 matches the iPhone 4S and has 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacity options. Much to our delight it also has a microSD card slot for expansion of up to a further 64GB. This choice is a big win in our opinion.
As we mentioned earlier the Galaxy S3 is a pretty big smartphone. This is mainly down to its 4.8-inch Super AMOLED screen which has an HD resolution of 720 x 1280.
Video: Samsung launches Galaxy S3
The Galaxy S3 screen is stunning and comparable in quality to the one found on the HTC One X. It has a high pixel density of 306ppi where individual pixels are not distinguishable offering astonishing levels of detail. Viewing angles are very good; we found reflections in the screen more of a problem.
The Super AMOLED technology means colours a bright and punchy while blacks are very, well, black. It's partly what makes the screen have such an impact on the eyes but users wanting a more natural look will probably find the screen a bit garish.
Wireless charging is a stand out feature which is not only super cool but very practical too.
Other connectivity in the Galaxy S3 includes the standard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and microUSB as well as near-field communications (NFC) technology and support for the digital living network alliance (DLNA) standard.

Fort Calgary Detour
is this the future?
Submitted by mikewarren on
It seems we're seeing more and more "sidewalk bikepaths", or asphalt-paved, yellow-lined wide pathways where one would expect sidewalks. Examples are in both the latest projects the City has undertake (U of C/Brentwood improvements and the North Hill improvements) as well as in (relatively) newly built subdivisions and roadways like 12 Mile Coulee, Hawkwood, Country Hills Blvd, ...
I think these are bad for a number of reasons, the chief being that they confuse the issue of "should bikes be on the sidewalks". Of the few yelling drivers I've encountered, "get on the fucking sidewalk" is a popular phrase -- and I see plenty of inexperienced-looking cyclists using sidewalks.
Since intersections are the most-dangerous place for cyclists (in cities), it would seem infrastructure that drastically *increases* the chance of conflict (namely: sidewalk bikepaths) are a terrible idea.
At least they don't involve moving the curbs and asphalt is a lot cheaper than cement to put down, which seem like very likely explanations to their popularity with both Transportation and developers.
easy way out
Submitted by critninja on
This detour is bullshit and I am guessing that the pedestrians using the sidewalk will not be very excited about it.
Cue the pissed off pedestrian/bike hater comments in the paper...
This is an historical problem.
Submitted by chrisguy on
These 'paved sidewalks' are typically built by Roads and handed (sometimes out of the blue) to Parks to own/operate. Issues arising from the consultation process(or lack of it) follows the asset.
Obviously, this is one of the things that needs improvement.

Although they've done a decent job with 19th, I still think something on-road (but possibly separated if required, like 53rd in Bowness) would be better.
Also in the case of 19th there's better ways up the hill anyway.

Submitted by theorangejacket on
There is a more gentle hill a few blocks over to the east - I think it might be 16a street. It's a nicer route due to some greenery/park area (and some interesting housing architecture). It's a bit of a bother at the top of the hill, depending on where you want to go from there.
The City just repaved 19th and the carrets (is that the word?) symbols are nice and clear...for now. Last time they wore off in about a year

Those symbols are usually called "Sharrows", and yes they look nice and fresh right now.

Submitted by InglewoodGuy on
This detour is maddening if one was to try to ride it as shown in the PDF file referenced above. I was coming from DT to Inglewood, west to east.
They made a little paved path through from the detour sign to Confluence Way. Then "No Cycling on the Sidewalk!" so I need to get on Confluence Way. Over the big drop square curb I guess. Down Confluence Way to 6th Ave and then onto 6th Street. No riding on the sidewalk, we are again admonished. Except once you get past 7th Ave you are supposed to jump back across traffic, across the sidewalk, and on to the new paved path beside it. Then down to 9th Ave, where I need to dismount, wait for the light, run across the road and continue on down 9th Ave eastbound. Because, you know, no cycling on the sidewalk.
Once I got to the bridge, it was a mystery what they expected me to do. Cross to the north side of the road to rejoin the path? Dip to the right, some how get across 7th St SE and go under the bridge? Stuff it, I just kept riding down 9th.
There is already a dirt track from 6th St to the Ft Calgary parking lot that they could have readily upgraded a bit, and used the Ft Calgary lands to get around this project.
I went into DT at 7:00, but it was too dark to read the detour sign so I winged it. Joined the steady stream of riders using the sidewalk on the N side of 9th Ave and along 6th St. Come winter, I have strong doubts any of this mess will be cleared.
Is there now a sign about 'No
Submitted by chaingunsofdoom on
Is there now a sign about 'No Cycling on the Sidewalk'? I rode there on Tuesday night and I used the tiny path and brick sidewalk all the way around it.

The 25-year-old made 82 appearances for the U's and finished this season as the club's second highest goalscorer with seven strikes.
But his future will be elsewhere, with a club from a higher division poised to sign the midfielder.
Talks with Adam Chapman and Wayne Brown, the other two players offered deals last week, continue.

Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".

That's Random! A Look at Viral Self-Assembly
It should be noted that indeterminacy does not imply that God does not have foreknowledge of future events. Christians ought not to be uncomfortable with the idea of God interacting with his creation through chance.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Series: Shaping the Human Soul
In Washington DC, Church of the Advent teamed up with The Trinity Forum to offer a series of lectures exploring the synergy between modern science and Christian Faith.

The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Series: Hutchinson on Atheism
Ian Hutchinson draws a sharp line between science and scientism. Scientism holds that all truth emerges from scientific study and explanation. Hutchinson, however, disagrees as he points to science's inability to establish truth about, for example, the events that have occurred in humanity's history on earth. He specifically engages Richard Dawkins assertions (from the book The God Delusion) that God is a scientific hypothesis that has been essentially disproved by science and that evolution explains religion as nothing more than a natural phenomenon.
Uncertainty is Uncomfortable
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned

Bali Bandz and Bali Point to Point Tablerunner Pattern QuiltsBali Bandz and Bali Point to Point Tablerunner Pattern Quilts I enjoyed the Common Thread Designs' booth at Fall Quilt Market 2010 and the company was generous enough to gift me two pattern kits to review. Bali Bandz is a wearable fiber art design that can also be adapted for party favors, shoe jewelry, bookmarks, gift bows, and zipper pulls. Everything you need is listed and it is a simple list of fabric, felt, needle and thread, beads, and bias tape maker. The finished designs photographed are bold and exciting, but know you can adapt the color and design of the fabrics to your own taste or needs. The instructions are well written. The Bali Point to Point is a pretty tablerunner, again with a complete material list and well-written instructions. I felt that a beginner could complete both projects after a review with my quilting friends. Common Threads has excellent designs with well-crafted instruction.

N. Wilson Holland's father and uncle were World War II veterans. Their stories planted the seed for the respect he has from veterans today. Now a physician specializing in geriatric medicine, he has been on staff at Atlanta VA Medical Center in Decatur since 1985 and treats elderly veterans in the Bronze geriatric clinic.
At the clinic, Holland provides medical care for many of the more than 5,000 patients 75 years old and older who are cared for at the Hospital Medical Center. Some, he said, are more than 100 years old.
"I believe the veterans we serve deserve the absolute best care. I try to treat each veteran as if they were family. I urge every person involved in their care from trainees to fellow practitioners to treat each patient as well or better than they would treat a family member," Holland said.
Holland's commitment to treat patients as family doesn't stop with their interaction in the clinic. Each patient has his cell phone number so that they can reach him 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He gets to know their family members, attends their birthday parties and sometimes their funerals.
Staff at the VA Hospital have been so impressed with the work he is doing that someone there nominated Holland for one of the Department of Veterans Affairs' most prestigious awards, the Mark Wolcott award for clinical excellence. The geriatrician received the award—a plaque and a $5,000 check—at a presentation last month in Arlington, Va.
The award, established in 1996, is named for Dr. Mark Wolcott, who during more than 40 years of practicing medicine was known for hands-on direct patient care. He dedicated his career to improving the quality of health care for patients receiving medical treatment at facilities operated by the Veterans Administration.
Each year the award is presented to someone who demonstrates the level of excellence that Wolcott was known for. The committee that selects the winner looks for a person who is a positive role model to his colleagues, who has improved heath care for veterans, who works well with other health providers on his team and who is well thought of by patients.
VA Medical Center Director James Clark stated in a news release, "Dr. Holland's exceptional vision, commitment, and dedication has significantly enhanced the quality of care to our veterans."
"I'm not sure how the committee members gather information, but it's a process that starts in January and continues through September," said Holland, who was Emory's first geriatric fellow and now serves as its Geriatric Fellowship Program director.
Holland said he wasn't aware of the award before he was nominated for it. The level of care that he gives his patients is simply what he feels he's supposed to do. "It's my mission—my small way of giving back to those who have done so much and sacrificed so much for all of us. They deserve all the respect and dignity we can give them. They deserve the highest quality of heath care possible."

Hey, so I am looking for people interested in roleplaying Lord of the Rings meets Arthurian Legends like BBC Merlin, or Camelot. Excalibar. What ever you want to use as a base.
I have loads of ideas for roleplays and we can sort it out when we discuss it.
Here are some plots:
This one is made for BBC Merlin:
Uther wants to make alliances with more kingdoms. Knowing King Elessar of Gondor (Aragorn for those who have only watched LOTR movies) is a king of vast lands, he invites him and his family to Camelot to draw up a treaty.
From here we can follow various plots such as Uther and Elessar arranging a marriage between Arthur and one of Elessar's daughters. Friendship/Rivalry between Eldarion (Elessar's son) and Arthur. Or anything else we can think of.
This plot fits in with more traditional Arthurian Legends:
Elessar finds a child on the beach, washed up from a shipwreck. The child is called Mordred and Elessar takes him to be raised in Minas Tirith.
Best way to contact me is aim or email.
I have read the books and the movies. I am game with some type of plot. But I would want to play a female character. If you are real interested then send me a pm.

Earth Day - The Last Polar Bear's Cry!
By: Nathalie Fiset | 2010-04-04 |
Saving the environment is everyone's business... I am a polar bear. I have been living in the Arctic for the last 5 years. I was born on an iceberg and saw my parents die shortly after my birth. My mother taught me how to fish for seals and bigger fish but I have seen none in the past weeks. The iceberg I was living on gradually melted and I fell-off of it when it could not hold my weight anymore. Since then, I have been losing weight rapidly because I have not eaten in days.

Polar Bears Versus Extinction - Humanity's Effort to Save a Species

The Arctic is a vast, ice-covered sea surrounded by treeless, frozen tundra teeming with wildlife - including organisms living in the ice, fish and marine mammals, birds, land animals, and human societies. For thousands of years before the presence of humans, the polar bear reigned as the highest predator in the food chain of the frozen Arctic. Today, the very existence of the Polar Bear species hangs in the balance as humankind makes a heroic effort to save them.

text: Reliable Sources Now more than ever, the press is a part of every story it covers. And CNN's "Reliable Sources" is one of television's only regular programs to examine how journalists do their jobs and how the media affect the stories they cover. Host Howard Kurtz, Washington Bureau Chief of The Daily Beast, is the nation's premier media critic, and each week he questions print reporters, television correspondents and Internet bloggers about how the press is covering the major stories of the week. "Reliable Sources" is one of CNN's longest-running shows, premiering in 1992. The concept for the program was created during the Persian Gulf War when CNN assembled a panel of distinguished journalists, including Walter Cronkite, David Halberstam and Bill Moyers, for a one-hour special, "The Press Goes to War," in which journalists discussed the media coverage of the war. | RECENT SHOW TRANSCRIPTS Click Here for entire archive of Reliable Sources transcripts |

FW version: 3.4.3 Build 0520T (2 standalone Samsung drives)
The Web File Manager and Multimedia Station are the only features that are active.
Windows Networking and FTP are active.

I'm assuming it must be an internal process or daemon, how would I check? Is this normal?

The Boston Red Sox will open the American League Division Series against the Angels on Wednesday, but, as always, it is easy to find someone in this city that is thinking about the Yankees.
As I took a cab to Fenway Park to cover the team workouts today, I noticed the driver had a memorable picture of Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez taped to his sun visor. Varitek has his catcher's mitt and his fist pressed against Alex Rodriguez's face, which is an image from the brawl between the Yankees and the Red Sox in 2004.
"I put it up there a couple of weeks ago when the Yankees were in town," the driver told me. "I knew I'd have some Yankee fans in my cab so I figured it would be a good conversation starter."
It worked so the driver left the picture in place. He expects to have more New York fans in his cab before the month is out because he believes the Yankees and the Red Sox will meet in the American League Championship Series.

howdy folks! i haven't been to waka since it moved from kansas, needless to say i am QUITE stoked for the experience!
i purchased riverside camping because it was cheap, before i really read the description. i had assumed it was the furthest from the action, however what i did not realize is just how far it really is from everything.
so what i'm wondering is,
1.) is there a drinking water and/or ice source nearby?
2.) is the campground going to be completely baron? (i enjoy having neighbors!)
3.) how much of a hastle is it getting from the campground to the main venue?
if anyone would be willing to lend their insight, i would surely appreciate it. thanks a bunch!

Wow so you have a lot to say but that has nothing to do with my comment but ok… - Chris Brown Confirms Breakup With Rihanna: 'I Can't Be Focused On Wifing Someone That Young'
Listen correct me if I'm reaching but I feel as tho he really used her to soften his image. Like if I get the person I hurt to forgive me then everyone else will follow behind. I genuinely think he loves her but thier was a bigger picture in this for him. Cause things to me don't add up he never publicly claimed Karruche yet he felt the need to publicly break up with her for Rihanna all of that to me was bogus and un needed. Since then everyone has been watching closely. He then goes on his promo tour and every convo is about her and how much they have grownetc. then out of no where his dad makes a statement a man from my knowledge who has never spoken to the public before. Chris says nothing in responds but two days later he puts out a song basically co-signing his dad. In some weird way it seems as tho he's trying to slowly turn the tables on her "Shes the one with the problem" so let's forget about me and 09. - Actor Laz Alonso Enjoys A Fun Night Out With Rosa Acosta

Young Bucs could use more guidance
Neil Walker and Joel Hanrahan have met with new Manager Clint Hurdle since he was hired by the Pirates. And now, several other Pirates players are looking forward to working with him in the future.
Chris Snyder has the most experience watching Hurdle interact with his players. Snyder –before he was traded to the Pirates spent seven seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks and faced the Rockies 19 games each year.–
Synder saw the steady progression of the young Rockies under Hurdle's watch.
"It was a steady progression for all those guys, each year they continually got better and better," said Snyder, who came to the Pirates in a trade with the Diamondbacks July 31.
The Diamondbacks and Rockies shared the same spring training facility in Arizona and Snyder said he saw Hurdle throw batting practice, shag fly balls and interact with his players during warm-ups before games.
"Every time I looked up, I think I saw he had a glove on," Snyder said.
Zach Duke and Jeff Karstens have not yet met Hurdle but have heard about his intensity.
"They said he's a very upbeat guy, a very intense guy," said Zach Duke. "He cares a lot about his players."
"I've heard he's an intense manager," Jeff Karstens said, "which I think will be good. I could see him wanting to have fun but knowing when to really crack down on people."
Neil Walker met his new skipper at the Steelers game on Sunday says the Pirates' need a lot of guidance. (Something they obviously were not getting from John Russell)
You're talking about two straight losing seasons of 100-plus [loss] baseball," he said. "We all can do our job a little better, from pitching to defense to offense to managing to front office. Having a new mentality or having a different way of looking at the game is maybe something that he's going to try to implement."
"Us younger guys on the team," Walker said, "we need a lot of guidance.
"Sometimes, when a manager knows to get on you or leave you alone and back off, or give you some encouraging words of confidence, I think that's important.
"That's the kind of thing he prides himself in."

AMR Again Leads Airlines in Unit Revenue Gains
DALLAS (TheStreet) -- Bankrupt American (AAMRQ.PK) led the airline industry in unit revenue gains in July, its fourth consecutive month of outpacing its rivals.
American said Wednesday that its consolidated passenger revenue per available seat mile grew by 4.7% in July.
"Our continued trend of strong unit revenue performance reflects the strength of our network and alliances and the effectiveness of our overall strategy," said spokesman Sean Collins.
American, battling to hold off a merger effort by US Airways (LCC) , has been touting its improved results as evidence that it can restructure successfully on its own, then decide whether a merger is appropriate.
In terms of July PRASM, American edged out Delta (DAL) , which earlier reported a 4.5% gain, crediting capacity discipline in the Pacific, expansion at New York LaGuardia Airport and increased corporate revenue. American's PRASM was 13.41 cents.
American's gain came on a July capacity reduction of 2.2%, compared with a year earlier, while Delta's capacity reduction was 3.1%. American's load factor was 87%, the same as a year earlier. Its Pacific load factor was 86.6%, up 5.1 points.
Also Wednesday, United (UAL) reported that its July PRASM was flat.
Earlier, US Airways reported a PRASM gain of 1%, while Southwest (LUV) reported a 2% gain. In general, PRASM gains declined across the industry due to difficult comparisons with July 2011.

This wine typically starts life out as a young, tannic puppy, and although it has ripe flavors and a suppleness that can handle rich meats and cheeses, it's best to cellar it. This vintage is quite undeveloped, wrapped in tannic astringency, but with a hopeful core of fruit that should age well from 2008 on.
Sonoma County is a diverse growing region with a complex terrain of small valleys, benchlands and hillsides. A coastal appellation, it is favored with fog in the morning and sunny afternoons cooled by maritime breezes. From the cool Carneros area in the south to the more moderate Russian River and Alexander Valleys further north, a wide variety of grapes can enjoy the optimum climate to achieve rich varietal flavor.
The warmth of vanilla and brown spice aromas in this classic Sonoma County Chardonnay are lightened with notes of creamy lemon and sweet pear. A palate of soft fruit, including apple and pineapple flavors and notes of toasted hazelnut, finish with a bright acidity, taking the rich mouthfeel to a long, satisfying finish.
Deep purple in color with a ruby red hue, this exceptionally well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits ripe blackberry, cassis and plum fl avors, colored with a touch of mocha and coffee. The sweet, fruity entry is enhanced with a juicy mouthfeel, notes of savory herbs and velvety tannins, followed by a long, smooth finish.
Following its brilliant, silver straw-yellow hue, this Chardonnay has intense primary aromas of apple blossom, ripe pear and sweet lemon drop, complemented by toasty oak, spice and cream. The wineâs silky smooth texture is overlaid with bright juicy flavors of rich, ripe apple and pear, lingering into a fresh, satisfying finish. This rich, silky Chardonnay is ideal with lobster and other shellfish, especially if served in a butter or cream sauce, roasted poultry or other white meats, creamy pasta dishes, a buttery mushroom omelet or any meal tinged with sweet spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger.
Soft and smooth in tannins, this Cabernet is made in a drier, earthier style than many others. It displays classic blackberry and cedar flavors, and will benefit from a brief decant.
This is a Bordeaux-inspired blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon. It's frankly delicious, with tiers of blackberry and cherry pie, milk chocolate and sweet, buttery, toasted oak flavors. Doesn't have the structure for aging, so drink up with a great steak.

A poem for my elegant iPod case
My vulnerable iPod 3G Said, "Puhleeze get a jacket for me And my headset in leather - That's ELEGANT leather." So I bought this; it's fab; we agree!
April 14, 2010
Too small for my phone!
I was so excited to get this but realized quickly I had to return it. I have a protective case (just plastic the slides on in 2 pieces), and that made my iPhone4 not fit properly. It was fine without the case, but that defeats the purpose, IMO. Also, I expected the Pocquette to be like the earbud holder, with a wrap-around snap, but it was just the leather insert that went into the smaller zippered compartment. Would love if it were just slightly bigger. Zipper seemed not of the best quality, either.
January 10, 2013
Keep it all together!
I really like it because it stores you iPod, earbuds, and any other things such as phone, cords, camera, memory cards, etc. in one spot! It's made with really nice leather and even has an earbud holder that you can wrap your cords around. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to search for my iPod in a bag or had to untangle my earbugs and cords. This case is really nice and is going to come in very handy through my travels and more! The larger pocket has a nice double-zipper closure that you can use if you want to keep your earbuds connects while still keeping your device secure and protected as well. The case is even lined with Suede, which is nice as well.

It isn't just for iPods anymore
Love this. I don't have an iPod. I listen to music at the pool on my Droid 2 Global. The phone just fits the case, with room for a stylus and the pouch for the earbuds is perfect for carrying everything together. Like all Levenger products, this is well made of quality leather. I got red to make it easier to find in my pool bag. Considering that most iAccessories run well over $100, I think it's a great value at $39.

camera Case
I use my case for my slim kodak camera. The side pocket is perfect for a spare battery plus earbuds.

Warning - Does not fit Droid Razr!
Last week, I had to give up my beloved Droid and replaced it with a Droid Razr. This meant I had to give up my Poquets case and I wanted a replacement. So I ordered this, reasoning that it would fit since the Razr is about the same size as an kPhone. So my new, bright red, nubbly-grained and very handsome new Poquets case arrived yesterday. I fell upon it with a glad cry, and discovered that my Razr won't fit! It's too long! It overhangs, and one cannot zip the case! I'm horribly disappointed. I can't think of any way to use it, and have boxed it up for return.
January 14, 2012
Nice case
I actually purchased this pouch when I had an iPhone 3. Since then, I've upgraded to an iPhone 4 and have put the Apple bumpers around the edges to help in holding it. what I discovered is that the iPhone 4 is shaped differently, and with the bumpers, it fits a little more snugly in tis case, but it does fit. I am happy with the case and glad I bought it. I've used it for over a year. I've also received compliments from others who have different solutions to protecting their smart phones. I purchased the red case, which helps me find it in my purse.
July 5, 2011
Nice idea - not worth the money
I bought this to treat myself to a nice case for my new iPhone. The pictures make this look nicer than it really is. The leather is cheap - the zippers don't zip smoothly. The earbud organizer is nice, though. All in all - I can't imagine why there aren't other less expensive options out on the market - but for almost $40, this one isn't worth it.
July 2, 2011
iPhone Perfection
This case is perfect for my needs. My iPhone 4 fits well: snug, but roomy enough to accommodate the phone in my Griffin FlexGrip case. I have another earphone management system so I use the front zip pocket for credit and metro cards, and currency. It fits in a pocket and lets me go handbag free.
March 21, 2011
This is by far the best product I have ever purchased to protect my iPod and earbuds. I have the red case so that I can find it in my purse. I especiallly like the the earbud compartment with the handy earbud holder. My earbuds no longer tangle. I also listen to my iPod while it is in the case. The pouch is exceptionally well crafted. I didn't mind paying the price because Levenger has an excelllent reputation for good quality products. I highly recommend this product.

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!

A former Fort Carson soldier has been awarded the highest honor a service member can achieve.
Former Army Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha received the Medal of Honor for his actions in Afghanistan during one of the deadliest assaults in the war. He is only the fourth living Medal of Honor recipient for the Irag and Afghanistan wars.
On Oct. 3, 2009, nearly 300 insurgents armed with automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenades stormed a pair of remote outposts near the Pakistan border, killing eight U.S. soldiers and capturing more than 20 Afghan security troops.
The Medal of Honor citation states that ""with complete disregard for his own safety, Romesha continually exposed himself to heavy enemy fire as he moved confidently about the battlefield, engaging and destroying multiple enemy targets, including three Taliban fighters who had breached the combat outpost's perimeter."
It goes on to explain that Romesha directed air support to destroy over 30 enemy fighters, provided covering fire for wounded comrades to reach an aid station, and also ran under "withering fire" to retrieve the bodies of dead soldiers.
Romesha was a section leader with the 4th Infantry Division's Bravo Troop, 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team at the time of the assault. He left the Army in 2011 and lives in Minot, North Dakota with his wife and three children.
The Medal of Honor caps off an already highly decorated career. Honors Romesha received while in the service include: the Afghanistan Campaign Medal w/ Campaign Star, Iraq Campaign Medal w/three Campaign Stars, Bronze Star Medal, three Army Commendation Medals, Purple Heart, five Army Achievement Medals, Valorous Unit Award, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Kosovo Campaign Medal, Korean Defense Service Medal, Non Commissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon w/ Numeral 2, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon w/ Numeral 5, NATO Medal w/ Bronze Service Star, and the Combat Action Badge.
President Obama presented the Medal of Honor in a ceremony at the White House Monday.

More than two-dozen people surrounded Mrs. Nellie Mae Lawrence in the great room of an Assisted Living facility in Russellville last week to celebrate her 103rd birthday. Most of us can't even imagine what it would be like to live a century, much less three years past one. But for Mrs. Nell, as she was known by many, it was just another birthday and turning a century plus three for her, was the same as when the double zeros rolled around.
"I don't know why I'm still here, I guess God has something for me to do. I want to make sure I do it before I go," Lawrence said.
When a lot of people reach an older age, much younger than Mrs. Nell, they can sometimes experience a deterioration of both body and mind, however, for Lawrence, that hasn't been a problem, for she is as sharp as she was years prior, and although a walker sometimes lends her a helping hand in getting around, she can still manage crossing a floor by herself and even cleaning her own room.
"I really never imagined being this age," said a chuckling Mrs. Nell, adding she believes the secret to longevity for her was hard work and staying active. "I never minded working, I enjoyed it."
Lawrence began working after eighth grade. She recalls loving school, but having a dozen siblings and losing her father at age 8, working soon became a stark reality. She admits she doesn't really remember much about her father, not due to her age, but because she was so young when he died. She has a memory of him unloading an ice block off a horse-pulled wagon in the back of their house. The block of course was for the icebox, as Mrs. Nell grew up without electricity, running water and indoor plumbing. She remembers seeing her first automobile as it carried her father to the cemetery. He died of pneumonia. "You know back then, people died of things they don't today," Lawrence said.
It was a hard life growing up, Mrs. Nell's mother never remarried after her husband passed, and did her best at caring for a large family on a single mom's salary. Raising a garden was a must just to feed that many children. A few months after Mrs. Nell's father died, she lost her youngest sibling. Times were tough, but instead of letting that beat her down, she persevered and became a very strong woman passing on that strength to the generations that came after, and boy where there many. Lawrence has two daughters, Charlene Lawrence Webb and Mary Lee Lawrence Chapman, 10 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and 13 great-great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Nell was born to Lewis and Callie Scarborough on March 29, 1910 in Dover, Tenn. Her family moved to Logan County when her parents purchased a farm in the Keysburg area around 1917. After her father died, her mother moved the family to Clarksville, Tenn. where her two sisters lived. Mrs. Nell returned to Logan County when she married Charles (Charlie) Edward Lawrence on Dec. 24, 1928. While making a living and raising a family, they moved a few times before making their final move in 1958 to the home they built on their Logan County farm. Mrs. Nell's mother was living with them when she died in 1963.
Hard times hit Mrs. Nell once again in 1979 when her husband died. She lived over two decades by herself after that, taking care of grandchildren and great-grandchildren until she decided herself to move into the assisted living home in 2004.
One of the most important things in life for Mrs. Nell, other than her family, has been her relationship with God and her church. She is the oldest living member of Mount Gilead Baptist Church in Allensville since 1937.
Mrs. Nell was the family seamstress who enjoyed making clothes for every occasion, even formals. She croche's and makes quilts and is an avid gardener with both vegetables and flowers. She loves UK basketball and has always been willing and eager to help family and friends in any way she can.
When asked what have been the highlights of her life, she says, "being able to help my family and watching it grow."
