Chapter 9- Epilogue
"I am retiring," Albus Dumbledore announced to the Board of Governors on the last meeting of the year. "You were all correct in your assumptions. I learned early on that power is dangerous and seductive and tried to shield myself from being in a position of power. I've convinced myself that staying at Hogwarts I was not indulging in my power greed and was not in a position of power. But that is not true. I am. Because of my role in the war, in the Wizengamot and in the International Confederation of Wizards. I need to let go of my security blanket and admit that I haven't been the Headmaster in a long time. I need to accept that my responsibilities are others and thrive not to let that power go to my head, as they say."
"I was a coward. I was afraid to admit to myself the power I held and in doing so I have harmed many people. I apologize for this and hope to work to make things better. And to start this I announce my retirement as Headmaster of Hogwarts and my successor Professor McGonagall. She is a capable professional who has been doing the job for me for a long time, and now that she will have a deputy she will be able to concentrate on her duties alone and not those of four different positions. I know that, as has been brought up by the investigation this Board has conducted, Professor McGonagall was not fulfilling all of her duties as a Head of House, but this is not due to her being a poor professional but to me fostering on her more responsibilities than one single person can take."
"Professor McGonagall had been executing the duties of a teacher, Head of House, Deputy Headmistress and most of my responsibilities. That is why some of her responsibilities were overlooked. This time around she will have one job, and one job only. Headmistress. And I am confident in her capacity to do this job well. I believe that now Hogwarts is starting to go back to what it should have always been."
There were nods of consent all around. Being the last board meeting of the school year the findings of the Board's investigation had been exposed and were being dealt with. Sirius was glad Dumbledore volunteered to resign instead of them having to ask him to leave the job. The Board had already decided Dumbledore was stretching himself too thin. The same was true for McGonagall. Which is also why they had established a few new rules to be amended to the Bylaws.
From now on a Head of House could not hold another position besides teaching. Sure, all Heads were lacking and they had been neglecting their duties but McGonagall had been the worse one. Sprout hadn't been doing headcounts but she had House meetings, though not the individual ones. Flitwick had been on top of his students' grades and had called the ones with falling grades but hadn't check on the others.
Now things were looking up. All Heads had been following the Bylaws since the Wizengamot had ordered the Board to do a full investigation.
The Board was also glad to see that the teachers at Hogwarts had been taking a more active approach on the bullying going around since the whole Harry incident and they intended to make sure it continued.
They were satisfied with the choices for the Defense Against the Dark Arts and History teachers that Dumbledore had found. Two very competent individuals who were staying for the next year. Dumbledore had not found a new Potions Master but it was accepted due to the fact that after coming back to teach, Slughorn had asked to take over the classes Snape had left hanging when he just upped and left. Apparently Slughorn had been bored in his retirement. He was a competent teacher and a good Head of House so the board saw no need to change the arrangement.
McGonagall would be only left with the task of finding a substitute for her as Transfigurations teacher and Head of Gryffindor. She had already asked Professor Vector to take over as Deputy and the man had accepted. Her first choice had been Flitwick but due to the new rules the man would have to stop being the Head of Ravenclaw and he had declined. He had stated that he agreed he had been lax in his duties. That he had let the duties that he had let fall during the first war stay that way and he needed to fix it, for the current students and for those he failed and had already graduated.
The Board had individually spoken with each teacher and they had been pleased to find that by the time the interviews came all the teachers, with the exception of Snape, had done some serious soul searching and had realized that they had been complacent with the bullying going around. They couldn't pinpoint where it started. Most thought that it happened during the first war. But the fact was that they had gotten used to the fact that some students were just allowed to get away with things and a general apathy had been generated and perpetuated throughout the years. The Board was satisfied to see that during the last term, since the changes had started, the teachers had been all thriving to change this situation without the need for the Board to punish them.
Another decision the Board made, together with the Wizengamot, since this actually had needed a law to be changed, was give the Hogwarts Nurse the right to do a full examination of the students once they entered Hogwarts.
That hadn't been possible before. The nurse had needed parental approval, or in cases where abuse was suspected, the Headmaster could override the parental approval. But his approval was needed and only his approval was accepted. That had lead to Dumbledore choosing to not approve a full scan on Harry despite Madam Pomfrey asking permission for one. The Headmaster, being more worried with the Blood Wards Harry needed, convinced himself Madam Pomfrey was exaggerating and that there was no abuse. Since Harry never made any official claim, the exam required for the Headmaster to agree that there was suspicion of abuse.
Sirius had snorted at the irony of the situation. Since Dumbledore never agreed that there was abuse, and therefore never approved the full examination, he was also never presented with proof of the abuse, which exempted him from being culpable of not taking measures to take Harry away from the abuse. He was saved by his own will to remain ignorant. At least the man had admitted his fault in the Wizengamot hearing where they voted the change in the law. He admitted that one person alone couldn't hold that much power over others.
So now, a full check up was mandatory for every first year entering Hogwarts and for every student who was currently attending and was not given one. If a case of abuse was found Madam Pomfrey was obligated by law to contact Wizarding Children's Service. Not only that, but if any teacher in the school suspected abuse they could refer the student to Madam Pomfrey and authorize the check-up. It was not only at the Headmaster's or Headmistress's discretion any more.
But, despite everything, Sirius was pleased at how things were playing out. The school was shaping up, the Wizengamot seemed open to reviewing the laws and what needed to be changed. Sirius was putting up a project that was based on the Muggle correctional system to present to the Wizengamot. Having had firsthand experience with Azkaban, he knew that needed to be changed. It was what Muggles ruled cruel and unusual punishment and it made them no better than the people they sent there. Not to mention the fact that currently, in the Wizarding World, the punishment for murder and stealing a chicken was the same. Be sent to the Dementors. That had to change and it was Sirius's next crusade.
Things in his personal life were looking up too. He and Remus were doing okay, he wasn't sure he had completely forgiven the man but he was well on his way to and he knew Harry was also in his way to forgiving his friends. He had even asked what would happen next year. Tentatively. And with a lot of trepidation but he had and it was a huge progress for Harry to even cogitate going back to school, even if it was just a very vague cogitation.
Sirius, Remus and Harry had moved from their little flat. It was getting crowded. They moved to one of the Potter properties. It wasn't one of the lavish ones, none of the three were into lavish. But it was a nice two story cottage with a nice field for flying. Which Sirius intended for Harry to inaugurate with the brand new Firebolt Sirius had ordered for Harry's next birthday. Okay, so yes, he ordered two. But honestly, why would just Harry get a Firebolt? He deserved one too.
The house was being kept by the new house-elf they had acquired and Sirius was still doubtful of the elf's capacity to keep the house from blowing up in his eagerness to please. But, what could he do? Harry had asked. With huge green eyes.
They had stumbled on the elf at Diagon Alley trailing behind Narcissa Malfoy, carrying her purchases. Harry had taken Sirius to the side and told him that was Dobby. The house-elf that had tried to warn and "protect" Harry. Sirius felt sorry for the little guy and apparently Harry felt even sorrier because he had begged Sirius to help him. So Sirius had. He had stopped his cousin in her tracks and stated simply.
"How much for the elf?"
"Excuse me?" the woman had looked at him with a shocked face.
"Aw, come on Cissy, you heard me. How much for the elf?"
Narcissa had crossed her arms and looked at him from over her raised nose.
"Why should I sell you my elf?"
"Because I have currently in my possession mother's diamond necklace that you've always coveted," he said simply.
"That necklace belongs to Black blood," she sneered.
"Sure, that's why I was thinking of giving it to Dora," he said with a nonchalant air. Like Tonks would ever want to wear that. She had been positively horrified when Sirius had asked Andromeda to go through his mother's jewelry.
"That mudb-" Narcissa was cut short by a glare from Sirius.
"Think twice before insulting your niece, Narcissa. I might change my mind."
"Fine, you give me the necklace and I give you Dobby. Though why you want him is beyond me."
"That's my problem. Later today. At three at your lovely manor. What do you say?"
Harry had been worried about Sirius going to Malfoy manor but Sirius pointed out they made the arrangement in public, and Lucius hadn't been this sneaky for so long by being stupid. It still grated on Sirius that they were not able to prove he was behind the attacks. Even after acquiring Dobby. Lucius had made sure the elf-master bond they had had before passing him to Sirius didn't allow Dobby to speak about his affairs. So, Sirius became Dobby's master and then proceeded to free him at Harry's request. Dobby was now a the Potter-Lupin-Black household's employed house-elf, much to Kreacher's displeasure.
"Master is not disgracing Kreacher with such things as freedom," he spluttered as if it was a curse. "Kreacher knows his duties and Kreacher will keep the Black manor in perfect conditions."
And he had. And Sirius gave up selling the Manor, also because Kreacher managed to take down his mother's portrait and put it in Regulus's rom. Which Sirius offered to Kreacher.
The house was a good property after being cleaned over. And it was useful to have, right there in the middle of London. Not to mention it had belonged to his family for so long he just decided not to sell it.
Yes, things were looking good, even the Dursleys were paying for what they did. Social Services had concluded their investigations and the Dursleys had been arrested for bribery, kidnapping and abuse. After the police cars came to take Petunia and Vernon from their home all the neighbors felt completely free to come forward and tell them all they'd seen happen to Harry throughout the years.
Dudley Dursley had been sent to live with a distant cousin of Petunia, since after the investigation Marge Dursley wasn't deemed fit to care for a child. No, she wasn't arrested. Not much proof against her aside from her bad attitude. But the woman was arrogant enough to let Social Services know she approved of the heavy hand her brother used on Harry.
Dudley wasn't innocent but he was also a minor who was just parroting his parents beliefs so the authorities hoped that with a different environment he'd become a better person. Sirius was hopeful too. He knew the cousin he was going to live with. She had been at the wedding and Lily had thought very highly of her, probably why Petunia didn't keep in touch with her. She was a good person, and Dudley's chances of becoming a good person were increased by the upbringing he'd get from her.
Sirius was surprised when McGonagall's summoned him to her office in the middle of July but he would come out of the meeting with yet another problem solved as she offered him her old position.
"You had great Transfiguration skills and, despite not having a mastery, I believe you can fill the position well. Not to mention you can get one while you are teaching. And the most important aspect is that you really do care for these children's future."
Sirius nodded. He agreed. He cared for the future of the school. "The school is getting to where it should be and I want to help it get there. But I can do that better as a governor than as a teacher," he said simply. "If I become part of the staff I have to resign the Black seat to a family member. But just like you Minerva, nothing stops me from being related to a member of the staff, or else there would be no governors. Do you know Remus has a double mastery in DADA and Transfiguration? And he has done a wonderful job with Harry during these months."
McGonagall nodded and Sirius continued with a little smirk. He thought she might have expected him to reject the offer and she seemed glad he gave her a solution, "Of course, as his spouse I would be allowed to reside at Hogwarts and I think that if I am here and Harry is allowed to live with us and not in the tower he might be amenable to return."
"Students have to stay in their dorm," she said in a nonsense tone.
"Minnie," Sirius smiled and Minerva glared at him. "I read the Bylaws. I've learned them backwards and forwards. Faculty children or wards can live either in their House dorm or with their parent or guardian. And Remus and I have legally adopted Harry. We felt he needed the reassurance. So no one can't even say he is not our son."
Minerva looked uncomfortable and said, "Yes, but it has been the practice of the school that students, even if their parents are faculty members, live with their housemates."
Sirius leaned forward seriously, "Harry has made enormous strides. You have no idea how scary for him the mere thought of stepping through those doors is. But he misses the classes, he misses his friends and he is willing to try. But he is not ready for the full Hogwarts experience. You have to meet me half-way or else he'll continue in his bubble. He approached me asking if there was a way he could come back but stay with me at the same time. I talked to him and we both talked to his psychologist about the possibility and we all agree, to come back he needs a measure of security. My presence here may give him that. Not having to sleep where he was attacked gives him that too. Think on it and give me your answer Minerva. I'm working hard so this school can be once again what it should have been. And as much as I want that for society I want that for Harry more."
He hadn't had to wait much. The next day Sirius received the answer and Remus received a proposal to teach Transfigurations and act as Gryffindor Head of House. The family of three sat down and discussed their options and in the end Harry had agreed.
"You'll be there right?" he had asked about a hundred times and every time the answer from both men was the same. A resounding yes.
"Ron and Hermione say things have changed. So did Neville." Once the summer break had started, Augusta Longbottom had asked if Neville could visit. He had wanted to see Harry since Harry left but being at Hogwarts it had been hard for him. They had corresponded a bit during the year. But you know kids and letters. Not the best of friends. Neville had come often during the summer and so had Ron and Hermione. They had told Harry of all the changes. "I guess we can try."
"And if you don't like it, we'll be back here in a second," Remus assured Harry. "But I think you'll like it better there, with your friends." Harry had nodded and tried to smile but he had been too nervous to.
Remus had been right though and things were looking up. The very first day of school the same committee from all houses that had told him Parselmouths weren't welcome was there to greet him. But instead of hexing him, this time they were there to apologize.
"We shouldn't have done what we did. There are no excuses for what we did and if we could go back in time we would," the spokesman said. "We're really sorry and we get if you can never forgive us but you can be sure no one here will ever hurt you again."
Harry hadn't known what to say and had just nodded awkwardly and walked with his friends to the end of the Gryffindor table trying to avoid everyone. He wasn't successful though as the Gryffindors led by the ones who had burnt his truck pretty much repeated what the committee had said.
"You're welcome back in the tower Harry."
"I'm staying with my parents," he had said and it felt so good to say that. Parents.
"We know, we just want to let you know. You're place in the team is there for you to take if you want."
Harry had shrugged but he hadn't wanted to play again. He loved flying but he wasn't feeling very prone to team spirit yet. "Maybe next year."
"Maybe," the seventh year had said and had glared at Oliver's moan. "Harry can come back if he wants and only if he wants. Clear?" he asked and everyone nodded, including Oliver after Katie Bell slapped his head.
In the end Harry did go back to play in the spring term. He only went back to the tower in his fourth year, but Quidditch, was just Quidditch. And being back in the tower didn't mean he spent less time with his guardians. Quite the contrary, Harry was often seen in the staff wing when he was visiting or when he was in one of his special visits. The one only Sirius knew about. Not even Moony knew about them because Harry wanted to surprise him when he managed. But he came religiously, every Friday, during his free period which Remus was busy with his NEWT classes, and Sirius instructed him in the fine arts of becoming an Animagus. Sirius couldn't help but snigger to himself every time he pictured Moony's reaction once Harry was done and presented his Animagus form to him.
Everything had been perfect. Voldemort was gone, the school and society seemed to be improving and a certain rat thought he had gotten away with living right under Sirius and Remus's nose. He was merrily wandering Hogwarts thinking of the food Ron would bring him when he was faced with a large orange cat. He gulped. He had heard Hermione had gotten a cat but hadn't had the displeasure of meeting said cat yet. He tried to run, but he wasn't fast enough as Mrs. Norris stopped him in his track. The Wizarding World never found the escaped Death Eater Peter Pettigrew, and they never heard the squeaks as Mrs. Norris and her new friend, Crookshanks, feasted on a certain rat. Ron was devastated when Scabbers didn't come back but Harry and Hermione joined their money and gave him an owl for Christmas. That seemed to cheer him up.
The end
This is done. I did not tell you Harry's form on purpose because I wanted to leave it to the imagination. Now Harry has his whole life ahead of him and I just wanted you to have a glimpse but not be too specific.

Rocky Mountain Tales of Survival: Wed., August 30 , 5:30 pm
Colorado storyteller Kurtis Kelly will be the special guest at the Vail Public Library foran evening of history re-enactment titled "Rocky Mountain Tales of Survival".
The history of Colorado's Rocky Mountains holds many thrilling tales of early explorers drawn by the allure, the adventure, and the unparalleled scenic beauty of high peaks and valleys. But along those trails were dangers: rapid changes in weather, unpredictable wild animals, and treacherous terrain. These early travelers sometimes faced peril, and long before GPS devices and cell phones came into being.
Among the tales will be true historic tales of pioneers who faced perilous encounters and recalled daring escapes. Homesteader Abner Sprague recounts the 1896 camping trip that left his party lost in a blizzard above timberline. The Earl of Dunraven, while on a hunting expedition, comes face-to-face with a mountain lion. Adventurer and author Joe Mills describes a midnight rescue on wind-whipped 14255-foot Longs Peak. A snow-blinded Enos Mills makes a dangerous descent from the Continental Divide.
Storyteller Kurtis Kelly will dramatizes these and other amazing stories through a medley of historically-accurate first-person narratives. Kelly will also include a brief discussion of the film "The Revenant", which has helped re-popularize survival narratives, and which led viewers to wonder about the real-life Hugh Glass, whose life inspired the screenplay.
The August 30 program is suitable for all ages.

Sean Gaskell features traditional songs on the Kora, a 21 string harp that he learned how to play throughout the course of multiple visits to its homeland in Gambia, West Africa. The music is traditionally played by oral and musical historians known as Griots (Gree-ohs). The Kora is a very melodic and seemingly peaceful instrument, which is contrary to its musical repertoire. Many songs tell ancient stories of war and hardship, while others praise people of high political status and those who helped expand the Mande empire.
While the Kora is only 300 years old, some commonly played songs can be traced back 800 years to the founding of the Mande empire. Gaskell has studied extensively under the instruction of Malamini Jobarteh and Moriba Kuyateh, both of Brikama, Gambia. He was first inspired to play by Kane Mathis, a Kora player formerly based in Seattle who has lead "The Kora Band" and "The Sahel Band". Gaskell relocated from Seattle to Asheville, North Carolina in 2014. He has been featured at a number of music festivals in the US, Gambia, and Senegal.

Walking Book Club – Friday Sept 15, 11:30 – 12:30 pm
Meet in the atrium and we'll take this meeting for a walk!
This month's book is "The Japanese Lover" by Isabel Allende. "The Japanese Lover" is a multi-generational epic that sweeps from San Francisco, in the present day, to Poland and the United States during the Second World War. In 1939, young Alma Belasco's parents send her, from Poland, to live with an aunt and uncle in San Francisco. There, as the rest of the world goes to war, she encounters Ichimei Fukuda, the quiet and gentle son of the family's Japanese gardener. A great friendship and tender love affair begins to blossom during this 2 year period. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the two are pulled apart when Ichimei and his family are relocated to internment camps run by the U. S. government. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but they feel forced to hide their love. Decades later, as Alma is nearing the end of her life, Irina Bazili, a care worker struggling to come to terms with her own troubled past, meets the Alma and her grandson, Seth, at San Francisco's charmingly eccentric Lark House nursing home. As Irina and Seth forge their own friendship, they become intrigued by a series of mysterious gifts and letters sent to Alma and they piece together the truth about Ichimei and his relationship with Alma that has endured for nearly seventy years. Sweeping through time and spanning generations and continents, "The Japanese Lover" explores questions of identity, abandonment and redemption. Written with the same attention to historical detail and keen understanding of her characters that Isabel Allende has been known for since her landmark first novel "The House of the Spirits," "The Japanese Lover" is a tribute to the constancy of the human heart in an ever changing world.

HTC Sensation vs Samsung Galaxy S II
The Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation both have feature-packed camera interfaces and very fast shot-to-shot times. The icons on the Galaxy S II are a tad larger and thus easier to press, but still the camera interface is kept minimalistic and pretty. The HTC Sensation, on the other hand, is more functional, offering a rich, visualized range of color effects to apply with the touch of a button, whereas the Galaxy S II strength is more scene modes, if anyone bothers with those before snapping a picture with their smaprtphones.
The camera lens on the Samsung Galaxy S II has a much wider field of view than the one on the HTC Sensation; it fits more scene in the frame, especially when the phones are held in portrait mode. Both handsets capture enough details, but the pictures from the HTC Sensation have more contrast applied to them, and thus look sharper and with punchier colors than the ones from the Samsung Galaxy S II, which, in their turn, are colder than the real deal.
If we get out of the bright sun, though, the software running the HTC Sensation's camera starts to aggressively clear up the noise and oversharpen the photo, which takes its toll on some fine detail. Besides the more natural looks, the Samsung Galaxy S II also gets more pictures with wide dynamic range right. Moreover, it seems that the HTC Sensation's software algorithms are always hard at work trying to sharpen this element or blur that background, with often mixed, unnatural results.
Moreover, the Sensation sports live tap-to-focus while filming, similar to the iPhone 4, which is quite a handy feature, and works when capturing 1080p videos, too. It sports autofocus only before you've started filming, so the tap-to-focus feat while shooting a video actually becomes very useful.
Videos captured with the Samsung Galaxy S II run slightly smoother. However, the ability to use tap-to-focus and digital zoom while shooting in Full HD 1080p with the HTC Sensation might offset the Galaxy S II's advantages for certain users.
Finally, the HTC Sensation's video seems sharper than what the Galaxy S II offers, which is fine in our books, although some may find it a bit too much..

Samsung Galaxy S II Indoor Sample Video:
When it comes to playing video, the Samsung Galaxy S II is the clear leader, with hardwired support for most major codecs up to Full HD 1080p definition, and due to the sheer vivid brilliance of the Super AMOLED Plus display for watching movies. The Sensation plays 1080p MPEG-4 files with no issues, but for high-definition DivX/Xvid files, or the popular .MKV format you will have to hit Android Market. Full HD 1080P Divx/Xvid files are not even been indexed as playable in the All Videos section of the Gallery, and HD 720p ones are hit-or-miss.
The default HTC video player has some SRS surround sound perks in loudspeaker mode, which deepen the base a bit, but in terms of functionality it can't match the excellent player on the Galaxy S II, which has been born with video playback in mind, and won't make you look for alternatives in Android Market, except if you want to loop something.
When music playback is concerned, the Samsung Galaxy S II also has the upper hand, with its native support for the lossless FLAC format, and less wimpy speaker. The surround sound mode on the HTC Sensation can be used in speaker mode as well, unlike the Samsung Galaxy S II, which only allows its mock 5.1 channel surround when the supplied handset is plugged in. The Galaxy S II, however, lets you apply equalizer presets while listening through the speaker, whereas on the HTC Sensation they only work in headset mode.

Both of them are very good phones but what about the SAR levels. Which one is lower?

alas! no mention of iPhone 4. lol

Alas Cyborg you are wrong.
"and you can swipe to the respective app in charge directly from the lock screen itself, similar to what Apple will offer in its fall iOS 5 collection." Now I see why there are allegations that Phonearena is paid by Apple to promote their products. Pray tell what the relationship is between a feature available now in android and what would be available in ios 4/5 months from now? And what is the relevance of mentioning this unavailable ios feature in an article comparing the 2 top android phones(that have the feature)???
7. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
LOL i know its like they cant write an article without the word apple in it...they will mention apple regardless if its relevant in which this case its not. also iphonearena did not make a big fuss about accessing notifications such as messages and miss calls directly from the lockscreen on the galaxy s2 but now that iphone will get it in like 4/5 months time its all of a sudden a big deal..would not be surprised if there job is to promote apple and its products.

Guys guys know something the original apple iphone in 2007 was a revolution that everyone on earth wanted to get their hands on, back then android didn't even exist,its a legend and phone arena is really fans of what had happened in 2007 and android only matches ios from froyo or eclair may be, before that android had no chance and hundreds of android devices come out every year both Samsung, htc and others release hundreds of android mobiles before you are proud of your android device their will be an another android device with better specs and great benchmark scores, but iphone comes only onse a year and still the comparators try to keep up with hundreds of models
41. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
yes it was revolution back in 2007 and cant argue with you there and yes android probz would not exist in the way it is now but would have existed in some form but this is 2011 and apple is no longer and has not been for a while ''revolutionary'' as you like to say. have you seen ios5 lol you call the a revolution or is it kust catching up to android who has had most of those features for a AGES. yes android has plenty of hardware, it gives people CHOICE. with apple you have no choice, if you want ios and the latest hardware you have to get iphone 4 whether you like the design or not. but to be honest the iphone is one of the best looking handset if not the best lol thats why i got the iphone 4 for its look. you cannot say giving consumers a choice is a negative.

and just for reference, there has been an app on the market for months now that adds shortcuts to your lock screen.
Also, beautiful widgets has had the weather changing background for like what.. a year or 2 now.
give me power, battery life, viewing beauty, and extra connectivity over some use of tin and a highly animated overlay.

Great article that will be very helpful for many. I wish writers would pay more attention to storage read/write speeds. I want to know what class microsd card the Sensation ships with? I would imagine it would have to have a 6 in order to do 1080p video.
9. WirelessCon (Posts: 311; Member since: 11 May 2010)

Will both phones have Swype capability? The current Galaxy S does and I imagine the Galaxy S II also does (can you confirm?)
15. ph00ny (Posts: 1508; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I can confirm that swype is included in GS II
12. MIP (unregistered)
This comparison, though extensive, overcomplicates the matter; I think the choice is easier than that:
13. Piotrek007 (Posts: 112; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
GSM Arena also put new comparing between those two ! Its awesome !
14. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
2 days of light use is nice for the Sensation.....it will get overshadowed by the 62 hours of light use in the GS2 tho.
16. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Like I mentioned in another article, the rated talk times give a good indication of overall battery life.
The Sensation having 2 hours less talk time than the GS2...for some reason battery life isnt one of HTC's strong points.
And I'm a function over form guy.....thats why I would pick Android again any day over other phones in the market...
18. GALAXY-S (Posts: 701; Member since: 07 Jun 2011)
Nice comparison i like!! i may get the sensation for a bit untill the sgs2 comes out then move up!!
19. anirudhshirsat97 (Posts: 408; Member since: 24 May 2011)
i cudnt choose the winner until he said hat galaxy s2 was like a bmw z4 and sensation was more of merc e-class......im going for the sportier one..
20. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
I can see phonearena start having to do what phonedog does in all their videos. Instead of promoting best buy phonearena will promote apple.

The text reflow can be adjusted in the browser's settings...

I wondered because the text on the Samsung looked way too small to be useful.
But it is worth noting the Sensation does it out the box without need for tweaking so it still has the upper hand there. But good to note.
39. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
well i would not call it tweaking if its part of the phone. its the same as changing screen brightness but i know what you mean, that not everyone will know but once you go in the setting you cannot miss it to be honest. hopefully they bring automatic text reflow in an update.

Give it time and Motorola photon will slam the sgs2

Motorola phones are s**tty and laggy. Trust me i know I have one.
27. GALAXY-S (Posts: 701; Member since: 07 Jun 2011)
yea the best android phones i have used are htc and samsung.. motorolas tend to be slow and glichy alot
28. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Change the launcher and lock screen and my Droid X before GB would disagree. My Droid X with GB definitely disagrees, even with stock launcher and lock screen.
My Droid 1 with Froyo would disagree also, also after changing the stock launcher.
That said, I think the GS2 will be the phone to beat. With some Motorola phone being a close 2nd, just like last year.

I know I've been absent from 7 Quick Takes Friday for a while now. Some of it has been out of my control – moving and all that jazz – but some of it, I must admit, has been laziness on my part. So, of all the things, this is a Friday catch-up, I suppose.
Oh, September, how you are a tricksy month, particularly for someone like me who took a rather distended break from blogging and writing et al, and whose mind now is struggling to settle back into routine.
I think I will relish returning to the normal routine of student work getting in the way of writing work, though. Giving myself a reason to get out of bed will surely aid my brain into inspiration during the day.
Speaking of which, that's coming up soon. I get enrolled soon, and then lectures after that, though it still feels like a lifetime away. I know it will pass so quickly; and part of me wishes so, whilst the other is perfectly happy to freeze time in the here and now.
What am I reading? Oh, wow, what a question, since, if one goes by my Kindle app, I am reading quite a number of things at once. For my own amusement, I recently stumbled back into reading THE SECRETS OF GHOSTS by Sarah Painter and published by Carina, a small press that has impressed (!) me with its selections of titles and way with voices.
There are a few books I'm reading for writing style inspiration:
THE DARK DAYS CLUB by Alison Goodman; HEART OF BRASS by Kate Cross; A GATHERING OF SHADOWS by VE Schwab.
A theme, right? Well, I have to read up in my fields. 🙂
On the writing front, I'm slowly rewriting my novel H, a historical fantasy that floats about from New York to Italy. Here, our plucky young heroine, Cathleen 'Cathy' Cattoway, returns to New York in the dead of night to question the man who last saw her betrothed.
When they docked unceremoniously in New York—Cathy's boots slid her across the moisture-sleeked deck like untethered weights—the morning hung dark and heavy over Ellis Island, mist-less yet crammed with whispers of forbidden conversations out of their reach. Even the residue of last night's Passing made Cathy's hair stand on end. Out here the air was a mixture of gaslight fumes, the smell of bitterly cold air, and fouler scents, too…

Report summarySince the creation of PKN ORLEN in 1999, the company has undergone a transformation from a nationally focused, manufacturing led, state-owned company towards a regionally focused, market led, privatised company, with activities in Poland, Czech Republic and Lithuania. However, it is vulnerable to the European macroeconomic situation, and faces a surplus in its refining production compared to its overall sales. Its recent move into the Upstream sector also increased its exposure to the drop in oil prices. The company has re-valued some assets which led to a sharp decline in its financial results, mostly within the Lithuanian operations, however that does not reflect improved overall operations and a strong 2014-2017 strategy.

Iâve been a patient of Dr Stoelk for 10 months and unfortunately â I am not able to recommend him or his office. He is a very nice person and has very good bedside manners; however, he is not very diligent in his approach to treatment, which ultimately wastes peopleâs time and money. Iâve been having monthly Clomid cycles, ultrasounds and trigger shots for 6 months and every time he would say â everything looks good, letâs keep our fingers crossed. And every cycle Iâd be back to his office, again. After 5 months of this he started pushing endometriosis on me and suggesting an explorative surgery, even though I had no symptoms whatsoever. Finally, I asked him to do an IUI and thatâs when he finally discovered that my partnerâs sperm count is extremely low. Duh! During our initial consultation we told Dr Stoelk that my partner is on testosterone shots. And this is basically a big no-no during TTC efforts. Dr Stoelk mentioned that this typically lowers sperm count, but he never told us to stop the shots and he never during the 10 months of treatment asked my partner to do the semen analysis. And here we are â 10 months and $2,580 later â starting from scratch. I am so grateful to God that Dr. Stoelk didnât talk me into unnecessary laparoscopic surgery that he was pushing pretty hard. We are stopping the shots and of course - switching the doctor. Not checking the sperm count after knowing that a male partner is doing testosterone replacement therapy is unacceptable. I am very disappointed in Dr Stoelk.

Dr. Stoelk helped us to have a beautiful baby girl. He was courteous and professional and definitely the most caring doctor we've ever worked with. He took the time to listen to our entire story, and personally called to check up on us. We feel very blessed to have been referred to him.

He was brisk at times, however he is a great doctor who knows what he is doing. After the implantation of eggs for invitro he prayed with us that the procedure was a success. We now have a daugher

Called me a "quitter"
We began our initial consultation with Gene Stoelk by sharing with him that a minimalist approach was inline with our values, and that IVF was not even in consideration. We are particularly opposed to anything involving drugs or invasive, long-term interventions because it is not in line with our values. We wanted to know if IUI was a viable option for our situation (low sperm count, maternal age of 38 but no other factors) and what was involved with that treatment, so we could make an informed decision. Stoelk did collect data about our health conditions, and then started his "7 reasons for infertility" talk followed by options. Despite all evidence to the contrary, much of the conversation focused on material age and poor egg quality - not poor sperm quality. While he believed IUI (he calls it insemination) without drugs was an option for us ($330/cycle), "he preferred" that I embrace the much more invasive gonadotropin + IUI option ($2500 + $330/cycle). When he continued to describe the therapy as requiring daily shots and bloodwork every 2-3 days, I rejected it as not inline with OUR VALUES and therefore not something we'd consider. His response: "You quit too easy. You're not a quitter are you? Many women have done much more than this to have a baby." (For the record, I am a successful female entrepreneur, so hardly a quitter.)I can only presume his comments were designed to bully me into a more expensive, more lucrative treatment option. His behavior was unprofessional, offensive, and completely out of line.

Pregnant at 40 thanks to Dr. Stoelk. He's awesome.
Dr. Stoelk is soooo patient, attentive and awesome. He personally called me back with my results, wrote up my treatment schedules, answered my questions, and never made me feel like I was wasting his time. He does all the treatment coordination, and is involved in every aspect of your care. I think he may have spoiled me for regular doctors...I'll be going back for my next baby.

He is very friendly - a nice guy. He knows a lot about infertility and has helped many to get pregnant. However, when my husband I are were going through invitro procedures he overstimulated my ovaries causing me to produce way too many eggs. I got so sick that I almost died. It was a devastating experience for me and my family and I would therefore never recommend that anyone see him for IVF. Ever.

Excellent experienced Physician/Surgeon
Dr. Stoelk is a great physician and surgeon. I had a laparoscopy and he video taped it and spoke directly to me during the procedure. It was amazing to see what endometriosis looked like and how he took care of it. I feel much better.

Dr. Stoelk is WONDERFUL! He is professional, caring and will work with you from start to finish. The only 'con' is that he has a little troll "working" in his office. Ask to speak with Melodi or Cheryl and your appointments will be kept and your experiences will go well. If you deal with the troll, you'll have insults hurled at you and, if you're really lucky, she'll take your blood from you and perhaps find a vein on the fourth try. The troll works on Saturday mornings... steer clear of Saturday AM appointments if possible.

Dr. Stoelk is Wonderful!
I first went to Dr. Stoelk in 1996. He is the absolute best!I was 38 years old at the time so we started on infertility meds right away. I got pregnant on my 2nd cycle and had my first child at age 39. I went back to him in 1998 looking to have a 2nd child. After many unsuccessful tries at A/F I finally did IVF and now have boy/girl twins who just turned 3. I had many problems and many obstacles but I was not ready to give up. Dr. Stoelk was very open and honest with me regarding my options and chances. I respect him so much, I only wish I could see him for all my medical concerns! He is very easy to talk to, and never makes you feel like he is in a hurry. I love him!!!

The best
We would recommend Dr. Stoelk to anyone seeking fertility assistance...he is so knowledgeable and is genuinely concerned for and cares about his patients. He also 'tells it like it is', and doesn't create false hope, as ART isn't perfect. We achieved success on our 3rd round of IVF, and now have 12-month old twins! :)

We use JotForns for client questionnaires, some running many pages. When we get a response and save it as a PDF, it only gives us the questions that were answered. We need to have ALL of the questions because we usually have to go back and get them to give us more information. Without the questions, it is hard to see what they failed to answer.

The Texas team of Karen Penrose (Shore Acres) and James O'Laughlin (Clear Lake), with sighted guides David Atkinson and Scott Tuma (both Shore Acres) are not only at The Clagett for the first time but also taking home the championship title after a solid effort. With four second-place finishes and a win of the final race on day one, they started the final day of the championship at the top of the leader board. They ended the regatta the same way – winning the final race of the series to take the 2011 Sail Newport Blind National Sailing Championship title with 12 points.
'It's pretty overwhelming since I am a rookie to sailing,' said Penrose of the championship win before explaining that the team only had a few months to prepare. After making a last-minute decision to enter the regatta, they were fortunate to arrange to practice in a friend's J/22. 'I've only been sailing for the last couple of years and I was amazed, very happily, that we ended up doing so well. I had the best crew you could have ever asked for: Jim was our jib trimmer and he did a fantastic job, and Scott has experience with blind sailing as well as J/22s, and especially David who was my talker. Absolutely could not have done it without them.'
The Texans were followed in the standings by three Massachusetts teams, all of whom participate in the SailBlind program organized by The Carroll Center for the Blind (Newton) and run out of the Courageous Sailing Center in Boston: Jason Wallenstein (N. Billerica) and Bruce Howell (Needham), with Lisa O'Connor Dalton (Hull) and Peter Frisch (Swampscott), won four of the nine races to take second overall with 16 points; Duane Farrar (Watertown) and Deb Keating (Woburn), with Sol Marini (Littleton) and Bob Costello (Medfield), were third overall with 21 points; followed by Sengil Inkiala (Watertown) and Glenn Boivin (Saugus), with Nancy Jodoin (Natick) and Ken Legler (Reading), with 31 points.
Fifth overall with 40 points was Walter Raineri (Santa Clara, Calif.) and Jim Stevens (San Leandro, Calif.), with Jim Boyd (Concord, Calif.), Chuck Anastasia (Barrington, R.I.) and Matt Dunbar. Another SailBlind team from Massachusetts, Matt Chao (Newton) and Nina Kagan (West Roxbury), with Bill Rapp (Rockport) and Mary McKinnon (South Boston), was sixth with 42 points followed by the California team – Mitsuhiro Iwamoto (San Diego) and Philip Kum (San Francisco), with sighted guides Danette Davis (Berkeley) and Al Spector (Sausalito) – with 46 points.
Paralympic classes:
A more consistent breeze in the upper teens saw the leaders in each of the three Paralympic classes – 2.4 Metre, SKUD-18 and Sonar – solidify their positions on day two of The Clagett.
Mark Leblanc (New Orleans, La.) had perfect day in the 2.4 Metre, winning all three races to retain the lead position in the 12-boat fleet with eight points. 2010 Clagett champion Charles Rosenfield (Woodstock, Conn.) remains second overall with 16 points, and Peter Wood (Ottawa, CAN) is third with 21 points.

Gen. Hayden and the claimed irrelevance of presidential appointments
If, less than 3 years later, Obama chooses as his CIA Director the very same Michael Hayden -- who, during his confirmation hearing, justified Bush's illegal NSA spying and said how proud he was to help implement it [to say nothing of his (at best) equivocations on torture] -- then it should be quite . . . let us, for the moment, say "interesting" . . . to watch him and his most loyal supporters explain and justify that.
When and why did everyone suddenly decide to change their minds about this and start repeating the mantra of some Obama supporters that high-level appointments are irrelevant because only the President counts? For the people who now make this claim to justify Obama's appointments, were any of them objecting during any of the above-listed confirmation fights that those fights were wasteful and unjustified because presidential appointments are irrelevant?

Multiple occurrence of same form embedded on a single pageAsked by tycoprinting on September 09, 2016 at 03:24 PM
We have a form at the following:
Because of the need to make this mobile responsive we had to add the following code twice in the html because in mobile mode we want the form to hide within a dropdown button
When this script appears twice in the code it causes neither to function. It works if we use the iframe code for the second occurrence but we are trying to avoid that.
Any ideas as to why this happens and what can be done to fix it?
Thank you.
JotForm Support
It is not currently possible to add the same script embedded form to a single page more than one. The forms will conflict with each other. It is only possible to embed multiple forms to the same page using the iFrame embed code.
Thank you. Can we have 2 separate forms on the same page using the script? If so is it possible to have a second form that mirrors the first?
JotForm Support
Yes, it is possible to embed separate forms with their embed scripts on the same page. You can clone your form and put a cloned version along with the original form.
Thank you. Does a cloned form stay cloned if changes are made to the original form or are they two delegate forms at that point?
JotForm Support
The cloned version will be a new form as each form have a unique ID (those numbers in the form URL). Modifying/updating your form on the Form Builder will only affect that form.
So if update one of the form, it will not affect the other one even when both were published on the same website page.
Let us know if you need further assistance.

SXSW, Scene and Heard Day Two
Slow day for locals at SXSW on Thursday. After performing in front of Jeremy Lascelles on Wednesday (along with other unidentified white-haired men of varying importance), the Strange Boys didn't seem as perky this afternoon, as bassist Philip Sambol was seen hanging around outside Emo's asking passersby for change. Myself included. Not sure if this was meant for humor or for gas money, but it's probably a sign that the UK CEO didn't offer the Boys a record deal on the spot.
The Drams played two high-profile gigs Thursday, opening for the Drive-By Truckers and Kris Kristofferson at each, and crowd reactions varied from "meh" to throat-reductive squeals. One long-time Slobberbone fan from Chicago summed up the average post-'Bone reaction best: "I wish the songs weren't new so I could sing along." She'll get her wish this summer when the Drams' debut album hits stores on New West Records.
Chatterton and the Happy Bullets represented the Metroplex at a venue beyond the 6th Street-Red River artery, which was a damn shame. Chatterton didn't do much more than hit bullet points on the alt-country-pop checklist, but the Bullets played the tightest set I've ever seen 'em whip up, and truthfully, their 36 minutes rank among the best I've experienced at SXSW so far. The quintet has a reputation for sloppy gigs, so it was nice to see the group nail its SXSW showcase--even if few non-Dallasites saw that very set.
And, of course, I saw KDGE-FM (102.1)'s Josh Venable praying to his lord and master at the Austin Music Hall. Expect Josh to wax nostalgic about Moz's shirtless moment on this weekend's installment of The Adventure Club. --Sam Machkovech

In the bag: juvenile champs
EDMONTON, Alberta - Alberta's version of the World Thoroughbred Championships, the annual Fall Classic Day at Northlands on Sept. 22, invariably settles the season's divisional races.
However, there already seems to be no doubt about the identities of the province's 2-year-old champions.
Trainer Sid Gray clinched the juvenile colt/gelding honors when he sent out Dance Me Free to win his third consecutive stakes.
Bought for $13,500 a year ago at the Alberta CTHS yearling sale, the British Columbia-bred Dance Me Free added last Saturday's Birdcatcher to his wins in the Edmonton Juvenile and the Sale Stake.
Gray had abandoned his plans to send Dance Me Free to the Jack Diamond Futurity in favor of the Birdcatcher and now he is preparing the colt for the Canadian Juvenile here Oct. 13.
Going into the Bird of Pay here last Monday, Sly Lady appeared to have an edge over Brass to Diamonds for the filly laurels. But on the morning of the race, Sly Lady showed up lame and had to be scratched. Subsequent X-rays showed a bone chip on a knee that will require surgery.
Thus, her tentative plans to go against the boys in the Canadian Juvenile also are eliminated and Sly Lady's season ends with an unblemished record of 2 for 2, including the Princess Margaret.
In Sly Lady's absence, Brass to Diamonds won the Bird of Pay for her third straight victory after a season-opening loss. She also won the Sale Stake, for which Sly Lady was ineligible. No matter how she fares in the $40,000 Sturgeon River on Fall Classic Day, Brass to Diamonds should have the division title in the bag.

UPDATE: Man to appear in court tomorrow in connection with murder of Anne Shortall
A 38-year-old man is to appear before Bray District Court at 10am tomorrow in connection with the murder of Anne Shortall.
It is reported that he was known to Ms Shorthall.
Anne Shortall
Reports today indicate that Anne Shortall was brutally beaten to death with a hammer after she threatened to expose a brief fling she had with a man.
The 47-year-old's remains were discovered under a tarpaulin in an outhouse at Killoughter, near Ashford, Co Wicklow five days after being reported missing to Gardai.
The mother-of-three was found by officers who were investigating her disappearance.
Reports suggest the place where she was discovered was not the scene of the murder and that she had been moved there.
The scene at Killoughther
A 38-year-old man has been arrested by Gardaí and was last night being questioned at Wicklow garda station.
Ms Shortall and the suspect were known to each other and officers are investigating the theory that she was killed following a row over cash.
It is understood that Ms Shortall had a brief fling with the man and was threatening to expose it and that they argued over a substantial amount of money.
Gardai have since sealed off a second crime scene in the Murragh area of Wicklow town.
The Murragh
"This man just flipped, he felt she was threatening to expose him and he just lost it. Certain buttons were pushed in him," a source told the Irish Independent.
State pathologist Marie Cassidy attended the scene to examine the body shortly after 6.30pm.
Ms Shortall's body was removed to the mortuary at St Columcille's Hospital in Loughlinstown, where a post mortem will be carried out this morning.

I tried goign 2hander on my first character, you play as 2 different people and the story goes back and forth.
The first char can be berserker, defensive, or 2 hander. THe problem is the 2hander has half his skills as an archer, and archery did nothing but piss me off. Changing between bow to weapon is awkard and if you double tap the button your scrwed you just like 10 seconds while your character fumbles.
The problem I seem to see is staying power in fights with many enemies. I assume AOE's help much in this way but it is a bit difficult to setup the arc for a weapons trike that does aoe. usualyl its say hits 3 people in front of you.
So my advice for your first char is go either berserk or defensive but look at all the perks while making your character.
Interruption skills that stop an enemy from using a special attack on you are awesome.
THE 2nd character, he has awesome magic as a red priest. The healing spell he has is awesome, it is a heal over time and with 2 points in its tree there is no penalty to use just some energy cost.
I went assassin for my red priest and poured all my points into dagger to have the highest multipliers. Im still playing with it but really maxing out one weapon seems the best way to go as if you play the rock paper scisors game of say using swords against light armor all you are getting is a 15% damage bonus, which is equivalent to 15pts in one weapon, if you maximize a weapon you are doing much more damage with it than any other.
Well, I'm not far into the game, but I'll tell you my build so far.
Mors is a shield using tank, using the defensive talents on the right side of the tree. The idea is to taunt enemies and keep himself up with quick fix.
Alester is a sellsword, as I've noticed that his abilities in that tree gain good bonuses if he's not being attacked, which works nicely with a tank who can taunt. I've gone for the right side abilities for his heroic abilities, as his ability to heal himself or revive another should keep me in the fight indefinitely.
That's the theory at least, we'll see how it works out.
quadrakillz 5 years ago#4
I'm almost done with the game
I sent mors down Defensive and grabbed the area of effect dmg skill on the left of the tree first. AOE damage makes this game. In combat he taunts, aoes, and on occasion waits for enemies to use their skills so I can interrupt them.
Later down that tree he gets the shield bash type skill where he knocks them down. This is great as it's a lower energy cost stun, and when knocked down enemies can't dodge so for a few seconds they just get wailed on.
Alester I made a water dancer because I'm a fan of the books and how could I pass up the chance? He's a little squishier because water dancer is a tree that doesn't become omfgawesome until later in the game (With most of its best skills depending on you dodging and deflecting over and over). He still handles himself fine in the start of the game. Get the aoe skill and for your Rhllor power get the heal.
ViciousCMCB 5 years ago#5
As a water dancer, what would be the best attributes and skills for Alester?
LtRickGrey 5 years ago#6
Anything that focuses on accuracy and the ability to dodge. Alister with that skill set is SAVAGE! I made Mors a magnar berserk and he didn't really start kicking ass until I have him heavy armor. A bit squishy for my tastes.
Alister as a water dancer though... Accuracy, max out sword using, and medium armor as his personal suit of armor is medium. Also, focus on the knockdown stun and the manticor stinger strike. Leg trip then ground stab is a fantastic combo.
Quick as a snake also lays out the enemies pretty well.

He spoke at the Winter Haven Young Professionals Group's monthly meeting at the Greater Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce.
Leadership, Pinner said, starts with being friendly: holding open a door, or shaking someone's hand you don't know. You follow through on it by keeping your word, holding yourself to the standards you set for others and by making sure you're having fun doing what you do.
Pinner is a founder of CenterState Bank, which will soon become the fourth largest Florida-based bank after it finishes acquiring First Southern Bank in a nearly $200 million deal.
The bank started with one Winter Haven location. It now does $4 billion of business annually and has locations in 20 counties.
Pinner told the group of 45 young professionals — business professionals who are 40 years old or younger — leadership matters when working with customers just as much as it does when working with employees.
"The best fertilizer I ever saw in an Orange Grove was at the feet of the owner," Pinner said.
Pinner also encouraged the young professionals to have fun.
People called him crazy, he said, when he left a job he had for years to start CenterState Bank.
They told him it would be hard to raise $4 million. He had to give $4 million back after he raised $24 million, he said.
"Don't let people tell you what you can do and can't do," Pinner said. "Just do what you think you want to do and don't be afraid to be told no."
