The White House on Monday officially named Phyllis Schneck, a vice president and chief technology officer for the public sector at McAfee, as the next undersecretary of cybersecurity at the Homeland Security Department.
The Hill reported in July that Schneck was widely considered the likely choice for the post.
She replaces Mark Weatherford, who left the department in May after a little more than a year to work at the Chertoff Group.
In an interview in May, Weatherford said the deputy undersecretary role is one of the top cybersecurity jobs in the federal government other than the head of the NSA.
"I'm biased beyond any shadow of a doubt ... [but] I think there are two important cybersecurity jobs in the nation right now: Gen. [Keith] Alexander's role at the National Security Agency and the deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity at DHS," Weatherford said.
"Not just because of the executive order, but when you look at DHS's responsibility of working with the 16 critical infrastructure [sectors across] the nation, there is no single person that has broader influence over those."
In a statement about Schneck's selection, McAfee said it takes "great pride" in its partnership with the federal government.
"Phyllis has long been a trusted and valued member of the McAfee team who has helped build these partnerships. We congratulate her on her appointment to the Department of Homeland Security, and we know she will do an outstanding job," said Michael DeCesare, president of McAfee, in a statement.

Ruskin Soup
Now we've established that big John Ruskin is worth saving from the dreaded Heritage Vampires, how do we sustain and nourish ourselves on his memory? Ruskin Soup of course!
According to Adam Sutherland, Ruskin was always a man with a plan - and this went as far as having an idea that the working man should always have the recipe for a perfect soup on hand. Cue the ruthless pursuit of a food metaphor by yours truly while Adam cooks. What was Ruskin Soup? Did Ruskin have the ingredients? Could soup - or art for that matter - really sustain and nourish the Ruskinian working woman or man? And how about their fractured and fissured twenty first century counterparts? Can Ruskin's recipes really help us find the way out of the post-postmordern stew were slowly simmering in? All - or more likely none - of these questions will be answered in our culinary homage to the late, great Big John Ruskin (and Keith Floyd).
Thanks to Mat for reminding us of Oscar Wilde's words, 'Its easy to be good in the country'. Although I think Oscar meant good as in not be naughty because there is nothing naughty to do, and I think Mat meant because there is no-one to get naughty with, but what it really means is there is no competition and whatever you do looks good.
Despite going back to work on Monday, I haven't made it in to the office yet. Someone dumped a load of snow on the Lake District and it's stopped working. If you are trying to phone us, try an email instead, looks like homeworking for a few more days yet...

problem in MRF and DPM method
Hi, All friends,
I am calculating drops distribution in a baffle tank with rotating impeller (Fig. 16.2.3, pp.16-7, Fluent manual) by using the multiple reference frame in conjunction with the discrete phase model. I find the drops DPM concentration near wall is extremely high (order of 10^6 kg/m^3). Please tell me why this happens and how to get a reasonable result. Thanks you very much for your help.
I am looking forward to your reply.
With best regards,
Re: problem in MRF and DPM method
in my point of view there is some problems in your simulation :
1) first of all you should check that you use the absolute reference frame for trajectories calculation (you will have non physical results if you don't)
2) DPM is better suited for flow with an inlet and outlet, at last for particle. If you model a flow where particle settled your results will depend on the number of lagrangien iteration you use and it can't be very difficult to reach a real steady state solution. Remember that you inject particle with a certain mass flow rate, if there are no outlet for particles the concentration will be infinite (that's why you have 10E6 kg/m3 of particles at wall).
You could try an Euler/euler multiphase model
best regards

Infonetics Research has recently released vendor market share standings and market forecasts in 2 4th-quarter (4Q10) security market reports: Content Security Appliances and Software and Network Security Appliances and Software.
"At a high level, the story of the last 4 to 6 months has been mainstream news coverage of electronic threats, the vulnerability of electronic infrastructure, and the ability of networks, network security, and successful attacks to drive notoriety, black market revenue, and real-world change. From the Anonymous/WikiLeaks DDoS battle, to the peaceful revolution in Egypt, to HBGarry Federal's embarrassing exchange with Anonymous, hardly a day went by without the words 'botnet,' 'firewall,' 'DDoS,' 'hacking,' and 'virus' showing up in mainstream news. Even Comedy Central got into the act, doing segments on Stuxnet and HBGarry on the Colbert Report," notes Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics Research.
Content Security Market Highlights:
* Content security appliance and software revenue grew 19% in 2010 to $2.7 billion
* For the quarter, the market was flat (-0.3%) in 4Q10 from the previous quarter, but is up 14% from the 4th quarter of the previous year
* Threat trends are pointing buyers to cloud-based services or cloud-aware gateway solutions that connect back to a threat hive-mind that keeps products updated continuously in response to threats
* Infonetics forecasts the content security gateway market to grow to $3.6 billion in 2015
* The vendor landscape is competitive, with McAfee in first for overall revenue share in 2010, followed closely by Blue Coat, Cisco, Websense, and Symantec
* Cisco's content security gateway revenue dropped 26% in 4Q10 on the heels of massive growth (+30%) in 3Q10
Network Security Market Highlights:
* The worldwide network security appliance and software market grew 11% to $5.6 billion in 2010 over 2009
* Infonetics forecasts the network security market to grow to $6.6 billion by 2015
* For the quarter, 4Q10 was essentially flat (+1.7%), atypical in this market
* Market leader Cisco's network security revenue dropped 11% in 4Q10 from 3Q10
* Cisco's loss was #2 Juniper's and #3 Check Point's gain, up 6% and 20%, respectively
* From Google and Amazon to the New York Stock Exchange, large companies are re-building data centers, a trend that is driving the need for new security solutions, particularly at the very high end of the IPS market and the integrated appliance market, into which SonicWALL and Fortinet recently threw their hats

The decision by a top Golf Australia official to point out a potential rule violation to Karrie Webb emerged as a point of conjecture on day one of the Australian Open.
Looking to put last week's disqualification at the Ladies Masters behind her, Webb came close to another embarrassing moment as she teed up her ball to start her opening round at Victoria Golf Club on Thursday.
The match referee at the 10th hole (Webb's first) stopped the world No. 8 through her pre-swing routine to inform her that she had placed her ball millimetres in front of the tee markers.
The official was Golf Australia chairman John Hopkins, who, ironically, was also Webb's playing partner during the previous day's pro-am event.
In an uncomfortable moment, Webb glared down at her ball and then at Hopkins, before picking up her tee and moving it well behind the markers and asking: ''How's that?''.
''John Hopkins thought that my ball was ahead of the tee markers, which no one else in my group did, but as long as he did …'' Webb said after her round.
Asked whether she moved her ball back to oblige Hopkins, Webb replied: ''Yeah, as long as he felt useful; I guess that's a good thing''.
The rare rule infraction would have cost Webb two shots before she had even begun her quest for a fifth Australian Open title.
Webb, a 20-year veteran and still Australia's top-ranked golfer, was disqualified at last week's Ladies Masters on the Gold Coast for signing her scorecard incorrectly after the second round.
Despite the earlier incident and two bogeys in her first four holes, the seven-time major champion was able to settle down and find three birdies on the back nine to come in at one under, five shots behind first-round leader, Norwegian Suzann Pettersen.
Webb said she was content with her comeback on Thursday after the disappointing end to the event on the Gold Coast.

The goal of Chester Township's controlled hunting program is to manage wildlife on Township owned park preserve and open space areas without excessively conflicting with park users or park neighbors. The specific objective of the controlled deer hunting program is to reduce the population of white-tailed deer on six Township-owned tracts totaling approximately 700 acres, to reduce agricultural crop damage, to reduce motorist collisions with deer, and to restore or improve forest health by reducing over browse of the forest understory. A multi-year controlled hunting program has been designed to decrease the deer herd on these lands to an average of 20 deer per square mile, in a program consistent with state regulations.
In the Township of Chester, we are fortunate to have many acres of preserved parkland. Some of our parkland is managed by Chester Township, some by Morris County, and some by the State of New Jersey. Separate management plans mean that schedules for hunting can differ from park to park.
|Hunting Dates

TRENTON -The state's weeklong black bear hunting season will begin just prior to sunrise on Monday morning, December 8, and continue just past sunset on Saturday, December 13, in portions of six North Jersey counties. The season runs concurrently with the six-day firearm deer hunting season.
Department of Environmental Protection wildlife biologists anticipate the outcome of this year's hunt to be similar to 2013, when 251 bears were harvested, with hunting zones set up in all or portions of Morris, Passaic, Hunterdon, Somerset, Sussex and Warren counties, plus a small area of western Bergen County.
"We expect another safe, professionally managed black bear hunt, which is just one component of New Jersey's comprehensive effort to manage our black bear population," said DEP Commissioner Bob Martin. "In an effort to properly manage our ecosystem, we are seeking to reduce the number of black bears to a sustainable number in Northwest Jersey, while improving public safety by reducing bear encounters with our residents."
In addition to hunting, the state's comprehensive policy includes a common sense mix of bear management tools, including public education, research, bear-habitat analysis and protection, non-lethal bear management techniques, trash management, and a bear feeding ban, all geared towards reducing bear-human encounters.
"The initial results of this coordinated, statewide black bear plan are encouraging," said Dave Chanda, director of the State Division of Fish and Wildlife. "But we must continue this effort to further reduce bear and human encounters and farm and property damage, while easing public concerns about black bears."
The DEP's comprehensive approach, which was formally established in 2010 by the state's Fish and Game Council, has been gradually reducing the estimated number of black bears living in North Jersey, which has a robust black bear population. Scientifically calculated and conservative estimates show approximately 2,200 to 2,500 black bears living in the hunting area north of Route 78 and west of Route 287. That is down from an estimated 3,400 bears in 2010.
In concert with university scientists, further work will be done next year by the DEP's Division of Fish & Wildlife biologists to reassess the black bear population in North Jersey, and to begin to develop a black bear population model for other parts of the state. Black bears have been observed in all 21 counties in New Jersey, with some prominent sightings of black bears in Central and South Jersey last spring, but the number of bears living outside of the northwestern portion of the state remains low, with no population estimate currently available.
Black bear hunting is taking place this week within a 1,000-square-mile area north of Route 78 and west of Route 287. It is complemented by black bear hunts that occur each autumn in neighboring Pennsylvania and New York, where 3,510 and 1,358 bears respectively were taken by hunters in 2013. Bears living in North Jersey also traverse parts of those neighboring states.
It is expected that by Monday morning, more than 7,000 bear hunting permits will have been obtained by licensed hunters from New Jersey and other states for this year's hunt. A maximum of 10,000 permits will be allocated.

PHILADELPHIA - The men's fencing squad officially kicks off the team portion of its 2012-13 season on Saturday at the Vassar Invitational. The Red and Blue will take part in four bouts, facing North Carolina, Vassar, Sacred Heart and NYU throughout the day. Prior to this weekend, members of the Quakers competed at Penn State's Garret Open in early November as individuals. Michael Mills used that opportunity to become the first men's sabre to take home the title in the event's 41-year history.
Penn will be hard-pressed to match the start it reeled off last season - a 16-0 record that left the Quakers as the nation's last undefeated team. Nevertheless, expectations are high for a group that returns four of its six NCAA qualifiers from 2011-12 and adds in seven freshmen (five of whom will compete in foil) to a team that closed last year in seventh place at the NCAA Championships.
Evan Prochniak returns for his senior season and is one of the undisputed leaders of the team. A first-team All-America as a sophomore, Prochniak again left his mark at last year's NCAA Championships, finishing eighth in the sabre competition and earning second-team All-America honors. He was also Penn's lone representative on the first-team All-Ivy squad. During team competition, Prochniak led the sabre squad with 40 victories for the second consecutive season. He's joined by sophomore Sean Turner, a second-team All-Ivy member last year, and Mills, a junior who finished the NCAA Championships last season in 16th position before his statement victory at Penn State last month.
The epee team will be in good hands with the return of a pair of NCAA qualifiers, junior Clifford Fishler and sophomore Rene Gannon-O'Gara. Gannon-O'Gara struggled at times in his first year for Penn but shifted gears late in the season, placing fifth at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regionals, then following that up with a 10th place finish at the NCAA Championships to garner honorable mention All-America honors.
Far and away the least experienced weapon group will be the foil squad. Sophomore Jason Chang led the entire Penn team with 44 victories in the regular season, but it was the graduated Vidur Kapur and Zane Grodman who qualified for NCAAs. With those two seniors departed, a large burden will be shared among Chang and five freshmen. Adam Elkassas proved ready for the challenge at the Garret Open, leading the Penn foilists with a fifth place showing.
Last season began with an emotional victory that helped catapult the Quakers to their incredible opening run. Competing at home in the Philadelphia Invitational, Penn met Sacred Heart in an intense battle that came down to the wire with the score knotted at 13-13. Fishler finished off his Pioneer opponent in the final epee bout to give the Quakers the win and set the team off on their opening charge. That result will surely be on the minds of many of the participants when the two teams square off once again in Penn's third bout of the day, scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Other rematches from a season ago include the matchup with the Tar Heels, which will open the day at 11 a.m., and a 3:30 p.m. meeting with NYU. Penn downed UNC twice last season - 26-1 and 16-11 - and bested NYU, 20-7. The day's other matchup will be against the host Vassar Brewers at 12 p.m.
After Saturday's bouts, Penn will have over a month off before they take to the strips again. The Quakers are next in action on Jan. 12 at the Penn State Invitational.

I will be launching the forum as a paid members one and will also be selling separate video courses to those same members from within that one forum
I have two questions if I may:
1. Is XenForo a good option to give access to video courses which have multiple modules within them? i.e. is this a good way of distributing that content
2. Providing I get a techie to do his part is it too much of a pain to segment the different areas of one forum depending on what level that member has paid for?
Many thanks in advance

Author | exchange4media News Service | Saturday, Nov 14,2015 8:39 AM
To continue its 'New Cool' philosophy, Flying Machine has launched an initiative that has been created by Lowe Lintas Bangalore. It is a song and music video inspired by the attitude of the youth of India and features youth icon Arjun Kapoor. In today's digital age, co-creation is a big trend and was something that inspired the brand to collaborate with different artists. To celebrate new talent, it identified an upcoming Bollywood lyricist, Vayu Srivastav, who had also penned the lyrics for the 'Banno tera swagger' for Tanu Weds Manu 2, and collaborated with him and his team to bring alive a new youth philosophy – Tripping High!
The visualization has been inspired from the lyrics of the song and brought alive by a bunch of youngsters who are into digital and motion graphics. Also, the treatment for the video is stop motion, which delivers an output that makes the campaign stand out.
Commenting on the campaign, Alok Dubey, CEO - Lifestyle Brands Division said: "Flying Machine stands for The New Cool, the reason we tried an all-new approach this season. We created a brand anthem read Branthem instead of a regular 30sec TVC. We want the song from our anthem to create an impact on everyone's mind and therefore kept it very simple and hummable. Also the stop motion art of the brand anthem is new age, techno and the in-thing which today's youth is hooked on to."
Music director & playback singer Vishal Dadlani has lent his voice to the song and given the lyrics a new feel. Altogether, the brand philosophy of being new has only been amplified by the collaborative nature of the entire project. The music video features Arjun Kapoor in different situations while the lyrics leads the plot along. And while the stances have a more rustic Indian feel the chorus is peppier and funky with a catchy slogan holding it together, "I'm tripping high high high like a flying machine…"
Watch the TVC here:
Flying Machine collaborated with young minds like Vayu to pen down the lyrics which exudes the philosophy of stylish, innovative and cool and got Vishal Dadlani to lend his voice, and build a connect with the youth directly.
Rajesh Ramaswamy, Executive Creative Director, Lowe Lintas Bangalore said: "If new cool was the deal, we really wanted it to be new. A new format. A new style of presentation. We decided to be completely open minded and decided to collaborate with Vayu. We found in his work new expressions. And yes the result is something that reflects new cool."
The entire video is close to 2 minutes long and will be promoted largely on digital channels. Shorter edits of the same will be promoted on other media channels at a later stage.

IT may be considered merely a holiday past time by many but plans are ongoing to increase the profile of British air hockey – and make Bury its capital.
Britain's first professional tournament was due to take place in August but has had to be postponed as the UK Air Hockey Association (UKAHA) seeks further sponsorship.
If the proposal gets the go ahead plans will be made to bring international competitions to the Castle Leisure Centre, giving it worldwide recognition.
Hassan Mushaid, of the UKAHA, says they are keen to put the town on the map.
"We want to make Bury the Las Vegas of the UK," he said.
"A lot of the board members are from the area and we think it's the best town in the world and would love to give it some global recognition."

SNL wasted no time in mocking President Donald Trump for his Inauguration crowd size, using a message from Russian President Vladimir Putin (as played by SNL cast member Beck Bennett) to poke at Trump during Saturday's cold open.
Here's the crowd difference between President Barack Obama's Inauguration vs President Donald Trump's Inauguration.

Richard Petty Ford driver Aric Almirola was quickest in the final pre-season NASCAR Sprint Cup group test at Charlotte on Friday.
The test had been scheduled as two days of running, but persistent rain on Thursday and continued poor weather the following morning meant it was Friday lunchtime before cars actually hit the track.
Organisers extended the test into the evening under floodlights to maximise running.
Almirola set the pace with a lap of 27.832s as the top drivers beat last year's pole speeds at the track.
Roush Fenway's Carl Edwards, Germain's Casey Mears and Almirola's team-mate Marcos Ambrose made it an all-Ford top four.
Former champion Jimmie Johnson was top Chevrolet driver in fifth, with Mark Martin completing the top six in the best of the Toyotas.
Denny Hamlin skipped the test due to the imminent birth of his first child. Michael McDowell sat in for him at Joe Gibbs Racing.

Adoption Measures to Climate Change Impacts on Coastal Aquifer Systems in the Caribbean Project
The "Adaptation Measures to Climate Change Impacts on Coastal Aquifer Systems in the Caribbean" project was funded by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization International Hydrological Programme (UNESCO-IHP) and the Italian Ministry for Environment and Territory (IMET) under its Water Programme for Environmental Sustainability (WPA II). The Executing Agency was the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre.
On September 18, 2008 an Implementation Partnership Agreement (IPA) was signed between the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) to support the "Adoption Measures to Climate Change Impacts on Coastal Aquifer Systems in the Caribbean Project". The main objective of the project was to develop and apply a Groundwater Management Model to assess and manage the selected aquifer systems at Erin Aquifer in Trinidad and Tobago and Rio Cobre Basin in Jamaica on a continuous basis, and to make recommendations on best practices for the protection and development of those sites and other similar aquifer systems in the project countries and within the Region using the opportunity to build capacity.
The main results of the project were identified as:
1. Quantitative evaluation of climate change and human-induced effects on the groundwater sustainability of the two pilot sites;
2. Suitable mitigation and adaptation measures for groundwater resources management;
3. Evaluation of hydrological adaptability measures in terms of replicability, sustainability, impacts on both global and regional climate change, and equity in access to groundwater, both in quantitative and qualitative terms, by referring to growth rates for economic sectors, and to well-being indicators about health, poverty, et cetera, for social segments;
4. Training and capacity building of stakeholders and institutions in the regions studied;
5. Recommendations based on project results to decision and policy makers; and dissemination of project results (e.g., reports, publications, web pages, internet conferences).
A decision was later made to change the aquifer to be modeled in Jamaica from the Rio Cobre Basin to the Yallahs.
Project Implementation
Inception occurred in Trinidad in early February 2009. Implementation included field missions to the sites in Trinidad and Jamaica in late November and early December 2009. In 2010, more progress was made in terms of the modeling, with results available for presentation by end of 2011. The process involved the development and utilization of conceptual and the construction of numerical models, and was conducted over several months in 2010 and 2011.
Software such as MODFLOW was acquired by Trinidad to conduct the modeling and climate change data was submitted provided by the CCCCC. Some other inputs required for the implementation of the project included collection of groundwater data from various sources, stakeholder consultation, establishing scenarios for the modeling, consideration of economic and social impacts, and model calibration and validation.
Next steps
Both Trinidad and Jamaica will continue to refine the models with additional data that had become available.

After about 10 rough drafts, and page after page of babbling, it seemed we were writing a novel instead of an "about us" page…
We wanted to talk about how we were two high school friends who always dreamed of opening our own shop, and how it took YEARS for it to finally happen. How, after so many let downs & disappointments, we finally found the perfect spot to set up school.
We thought we would mention that we were perfectly happy with our little brick & mortar and never really planned on starting a website but also never anticipated (not in a million years) the overwhelming response we would get from people all over the world. A web shop seemed like the logical thing to do, considering not everyone can make it down to Silverlake..
We definitely wanted to talk about how sustainable design is a huge focus for us, and that green living is important to us, not only in business but in our personal lives as well. We wanted to be eco-friendly without being too in-your-face about it. The last thing we wanted was to be another shop selling all things hemp & bamboo ( not that we don't love hemp & bamboo).
We really wanted to point out how much we love and respect all of the artists and crafters whose handmade wares fill us with inspiration. One of the greatest things about having a shop is being able to support these talented folks and all of their creativity.
But mostly… mostly we wanted to say THANK YOU… thank you so much, to everyone who has supported us. When we opened our doors we just hoped (and prayed) that people would enjoy our products as much as we did. Your kind words and encouragement have made ReForm School a dream come true for us. We still get excited every time we get an email from someone wanting to be added to our mailing list. You will never know how much it means to us and we hope you continue to enjoy the shop as much as we do.
(Hey look at that… our "About Us" page is finally done!)
xoxo,Billie & Tootie

Not necessarily. She could really just be in love and happy with him despite his age. My dad is 7 years younger than my mom. Does he have mommy issues? Not saying that the whole daddy issues thing doesn't exist (I have a few myself) but it's not always relevant in every relationship.32|10|0


text: Solor Report post Posted September 29, 2005 I borrowed a friends DVD of the Trocks. He had the 2 DVDs that they have released so far. I could not believe it. I was really offended and appalled by what I saw. It had nothing to do with the fact that they were men dressed as ballerinas and performing ballerina steps, which I think is pretty cool. Had thier performance been in seriousness, I would have had a far different reaction. But my problem with the companies performance had to do with the fact that they turned thier performances of some of the classics, into a 'Make-fun-a-thon'. Sure, I got a giggle out of thier "Swan Lake" act II - but gimme a break, It was just bad. I know that they recently acquired the Underwater scene from "The Little Humpbacked Horse", and that they perform such works as "Harlequinade" and others of the Petipa tradition. I find it so awful that they are the only company in the USA that probably dances such rare gems and all they can do is parody it. Share this post Link to post

AT&T revises pricing on Samsung Galaxy S4 pre-orders; 16GB model will be $199.99 on contract
0. phoneArena posted on 03 Apr 2013, 12:06
For some reason, late last month when AT&T announced that it would accept pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S4 on April 16th, it mentioned that pricing would be $249.99 but failed to tell anyone that this would be the pricing for the 32GB model of the phone; the 16GB variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be priced at $199.99 with a signed two-year pact...

What else can they change about the phone? 720p vs 1080p. 2100 mah battery vs 2600 mah battery. quad core vs dual core. The design is different. I can see if it was the same EXACT phone. You people are never satisfied. There's a huge difference Between the phones
15. true1984 (Posts: 830; Member since: 23 May 2012)
i agree but people were expecting a much bigger change i guess. which is probably why some people(me included) went nuts over the one.
34. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
no sense of arguing with them kid,they're just the htc one, sony XZ's and othe smartphones' fanboys who cant accept their defeat during smartphone battle reviews and trying their ONLY means to elevate again their smartphone's glory..
20. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1121; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Theres not much difference between the S3 and the S4. the fact that they made the 16GB S4 at $199 is a good idea if they wanted to sell them as much as the S3 has been for over 9 months now.
I dont regret upgrading to the S3, but its a great phone for those who dont want to pay $300 to upgrade to the Note II
22. vishu9 (Posts: 252; Member since: 03 Mar 2011)
Well, no one's forcing you to change your opinion on the S4 but you dont need to bash a guy for expressing his desire on having high portable storage!
Personally, I'm still very torn between the S4 and the One.. Its a very hard decision to make. On one hand I'm a very very happy S2 user, especially after rooting and custom ROMing to escape the crappy buggy updates that AT&T keeps pushing out, so needless to say I love TouchWiz. And Samsung's skin is very easy to use.
On the other hand, I love the design of the One (obviously! :D) and the dual front speakers with Beats! (I am an extreme audiophile!).
The only arguments I can come up with is that I am sure I will be comfortable with the S4 out-of-the-box. Once the necessary tools are put in place by the good folks at xda devs, I can port Beats and be taken care of.
The 5 inch Super AMOLED is too enticing! To watch shows or YouTube vids, or just plain browsing. The camera we know is pretty awesome. With 2600mAh of juice, I can already feel the good vibes form this phone. In short, it makes sense for me to upgrade from the S2.
HTC One I imagine will be better for me since I feel 5-inch might be too big for me. (although, this is what I thought when I was getting the S2) 4.7 inches feels comfortable. The design is just drool-worthy. But the camera plain sucks! We haven't seen whether the 6 way blind test on PA was after HTC's firmware update to fix the camera.
So for time being I have decided that I will go into the AT&T store and hold these 2 beastly phones side-by-side and then judge for myself. OK, rant out! :)
I hope I make some sense, and that people dont start bashing me for the long post. Or if you just wish to troll on, its upto you.
31. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1121; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
thats the beauty of competition!! you cant go wrong with either phone. phones have become an investment like a car or even a marriage lol. You're stuck with the contract once you pick a phone and you dont return it b4 the buyers remorse period is over.
Choose wisely because both phones will do you justice!!

"HTC One I imagine will be better for me since I feel 5-inch might be too big for me. (although, this is what I thought when I was getting the S2) 4.7 inches feels comfortable.
Keep in mind that while S4 has a larger screen, it's still a smaller phone than the One.
28. darkkjedii (Posts: 25058; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
True it's only an incremental upgrade, but it's an upgrade of a revolutionary device. The s3 set the bar. S3 720p s4 1080p, s3 4.8 in. s4 5.0 in., s3 8mp s4 13mp, s4 exynos octa, s4 thinner too. Sammy as apple has settled on a beautiful design that only needs to tweaked here and there, innovation is more in the software with this model... Did I mention a bigger battery, and improved front camera also. The s4 is a beast... Everyone including apple has there work cut out for them due to the s4.
21. lovenyc8 (Posts: 164; Member since: 13 Mar 2013)
htc one vs samsung galaxy s4 and the HTC ONE has Won
24. vishu9 (Posts: 252; Member since: 03 Mar 2011)
I'm right there with you bro! I already have a 32gig card ready to go into the S4 64gig model, if I go with this phone in the end :)
Sucks that the One lacks microSD slot, wish it had it.
2. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Well looks like att did some bad advertisment. new contract should always be 199$. I wasnt going too buy one if it was 199$. N i was piss when they said 249$.
27. akki20892 (Posts: 3902; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
250$ for sure, there is no 200$ model is coming guys.....!!!

Yes the s4 16g will be $199

bad news for the HTC One... :P
6. nacixem (Posts: 32; Member since: 05 Jan 2011)
yup, and they can only blame themselves taking this long to launch...can't sleep on samsung!
4. Stayfly2407 (Posts: 57; Member since: 15 Dec 2011)
im picking up the 64g with a 64g sd card, 128G is perfect for uploading my bluray movies on that 1080p screen. Im switching to Tmobile though :)
13. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3823; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
The 64GB version didn't make it to our shores last year & it's looking like it may not this year either.

g2 are your shores here in the states as are mine?

Can't wait for them to announce the launch date.
9. sniper1087 (Posts: 532; Member since: 31 Dec 2011)
well I was confused by the choice between the htc one and the s4, the only problem isni owned the S3 and was never a fan of touchwiz, and design wise nothing really change drastically, yes it gives you removable battery, but i never take my battery out anyways, and expandable storage... you know how many times I have seen SD cards fail, as well as sandisk report that there were some bad production on the S3 phones. The One while it doesnt have those things it gives me one of the things I wanted, which was stereo speakers for all the media I watch, the build quality is outstanding, many reviewers calling it the best looking phone so far. The camera with software improved, but I am not sure how much, Zoe is a nice feature and all, I am not sure how useful. Both are good options going to take me sometime to think about this.
18. ahhxd717 (Posts: 332; Member since: 08 Dec 2011)
I'm in the same dilemma. Idk what to choose lol. Well since the HTC One is the same price with twice the internal memory I might go for it. I have had Sd cards fail and give me problems, and my Nexus has only internal memory which has given me a better experience. I still like the idea of removable storage though... So hard.

The Russians think of the hair health and realize the need to invest in a complex and effective care. As a result product that designed to improve the health of hair showed strong growth in 2014.
According to Euromonitor, sales of hair care in terms of value increased by 3% in 2014 year – slightly lower than for the previous period (5%). This is due to the slowdown of the Russian economy and the ruble devaluation. These factors along with the development of modern retail have led to the expansion of customer loyalty programs and more rational behavior consumers while they were choosing brands. The biggest rise in the category of hair care products in Russia have shown hair loss treatment – the dynamics was 17 % in 2014.
Due to the growing consumer loyalty to natural products and natural look the sales of hair styling declined slightly but continued to show dynamics – +4 % in 2014. Hair spray is still the largest group in the category of styling products – 45 % in 2014. Mousse and gel also demonstrate a significant share of the market – 37 % and 15% respectively.
The growth rate of the segment is expected to decline by an average of 1 % in retail prices of 2014. Saturation of the category as well as the impact of the economic slowdown will affect the segment. In addition, consumers are expected to be looking for the best offer and discounts.

Top-demand hair care products are shampoos – 94% of Russians use them; balms – 41% and hair masks – 21%.

The leading local hair care manufacturers are "Narodnye Promysly", "Pervoye Reshenie", "Yunikosmetik" and "Svoboda". Last year Russia produced 95 million units of hair dyes and most of them were launched at "Yunikosmetik". Today it is one of the largest manufacturers of hair coloring agents in Russia. The distribution network includes more than 150 representatives in Russia, the Baltic states, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Armenia and other CIS countries. The main brand of the company is Estel. The assortment includes more than 550 SKU for both the retail and beauty salons – the full list of products under the brand of Estel Professional.
Currently, the market of hair care products is observed rebranding - producers seek to position their products as "professional" or "salon". Growing competition, new brands, manufacturers from other countries are the segment landscape. The market is seen growing categories such as "medicated shampoo", "hair styling" and "hair conditioners." The main distribution channels for hair care in Russia are in super and hypermarkets, and specialized perfumery and cosmetics chains. The premium segment share is 5% (according to Discovery Research Group).
In addition to the overall promotion of healthy lifestyles the major trend in hair care is increasing interest in natural products. The consumer pays more attention to the ingredients and the quality.
The current economic situation affects the consumer who tends to choose a quality product at an attractive price. Therefore the product quality and price are the main criteria of the consumer.
Russian manufacturers are using unique natural remedies for hair care. The most bright example is the leading Russian manufacture "Pervoe Reshenie". The company produces innovative products in the mass market and presented in the high end of the segment with the brand Natura Siberica. Last year the company started sale in the South Korea in record volumes. Exports of Natura Siberica, launched three years ago in Europe, now covers more than 30 countries in different parts of the world.
Exports account for about 10% of total revenues, which in the meantime has doubled from 2 billion ruble in 2012 to 4 billion in 2014.
"Recepty of babushka Agafia – 5 juices" by "Pervoye Reshenie" is a new line of hair and body care products. In order to survive in severe nature conditions Siberian plants accumulate a lot of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, so their juices have unique properties and powerful effects.

The fifth in my list of five favorite Bible verses related to parenting is Luke 2:19: "But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."
What great and wonderful things Mary had to ponder! Her baby was Jesus, the Son of God Himself. How full her heart and mind must have been with all that had taken place.
As a mother, I ask myself, what types of things do I ponder in my heart, especially as it relates to our children? I want to think about those things that have eternal value, considering the spiritual condition of my children and their personal relationship with Christ. I want to weigh the words they speak and the attitudes they display that I might seek to train them to live rightly before God.
Beyond that, I want to ponder the beautiful treasures with which I have been blessed. I want to take each day, each stage, each age and see the good in it, enjoy it to its fullest. We will not pass this way again, these lovely young ladies or I. May I soak up these moments to keep in my heart and mind, to recall in later days with joy and pleasure.

Jamaica Police Gain Hold On Drug Lord's Stronghold
At least 30 people have been killed in street battles in Kingston, Jamaica, between masked gunmen and police backed up by thousands of troops. The gunmen are fighting to prevent the arrest of reputed drug kingpin Christopher Coke. He's wanted in the U.S. on drug charges.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
DAVID GREENE, host:
And I'm David Greene.
In Jamaica at least 30 people have been killed as authorities carry out a manhunt for an alleged drug kingpin. Hundreds of Jamaican police and soldiers have been fighting street battles with residents of several West Kingston slums. The residents have vowed that they will not turn over Christopher Dudus Coke, who faces drug and weapons trafficking charges in the United States.
The clashes have shut down schools and businesses in Kingston and intermittently closed the airport in the Jamaican capital. NPR's Jason Beaubien managed to get to the north of the island, yesterday, and he's been following the situation and joins us on the line.
Jason, hello.
JASON BEAUBIEN: Hello. Good morning.
GREENE: Can you tell us a little bit about this alleged drug lord, Christopher Dudus Coke?
BEAUBIEN: Well, you know, according to a U.S. indictment, he is a major drug kingpin in Jamaica. He's wanted for smuggling marijuana and cocaine out of Jamaica into the United States and for smuggling weapons back into Jamaica. He's viewed as something of a Robin Hood figure, however, inside the country.
He's very powerful. He is got close ties to the ruling political party. He's known for passing out school fees, helping people with medical expenses. So he's someone who's very revered and who people are now defending in Kingston against this attempt to extradite him to face drug charges in the U.S.
GREENE: So one of those cases we see, where someone can sort of maintain power by giving to the needy, in a play(ph)?
BEAUBIEN: Correct. Correct.
GREENE: This has, so far, been I guess a three-day offensive by the Jamaican government into the slums around the capital Kingston, allegedly controlled by Mr. Coke and what he calls his Shower Posse Gang. I mean, is there a sense the authorities are getting any closer to finding him and bringing him in?
BEAUBIEN: No. It's not even clear that he's inside the Tivoli Gardens area, which is where most of this offensive has taken place. The prime minister yesterday said that the actual operation against him might be expanded to go into other areas. So it isn't clear that the government is making any progress in this.
It should be pointed out that the Shower Posse was founded by Christopher Coke's father Lester Coke. And it was called the Shower Posse because allegedly they would shower gunfire down on their enemies. And Lester Coke was wanted for drug trafficking and murder, also by the United States, and he died in a mysterious death in 1992. He was actually burned to death in a prison cell while he was awaiting extradition to the United States. And Christopher Coke has vowed that he's not going to meet the same fate as his father.
So it seems like there is really a long way to go in terms of bringing some resolution to this. And certainly Christopher Coke has said he's not going to go quietly
GREENE: I guess the Coke name has been around in Jamaica for a while. How much of a threat is he, Christopher Coke, to the country?
BEAUBIEN: I mean, at this point he's basically brought this country to a crisis. This country has been brought to a standstill in terms of, in the capital - I'm in Montego Bay trying to get into the capital and things are going on as normal here. This is a resort town and that's normal. But Kingston, the capital, has been brought to a standstill by this crisis.
The prime minister, Bruce Golding, has admitted that his party - the ruling party - paid $50,000 to a high powered Washington lobbying firm to try to keep Mr. Coke from being extradited to the United States. So it has shown the depth of the connection between very powerful drug gangs and the ruling party in Jamaica. And it's certainly brought Jamaica to a crisis at this point.
GREENE: And real briefly, Jason. This drug trafficking operation that Mr. Coke allegedly runs, how significant - how widespread is it?
BEAUBIEN: The Jamaican drug trafficking operation is huge. And it's not just Christopher Coke's operation. As Mexico has been squeezed by the Mexican government, a lot of that drug trafficking has flown into the Caribbean, including into Jamaica.
And obviously, this operation was in place long before the Mexican government launched that offensive. But there's really a concern that Jamaica and other places in the Caribbean could be even greater transit points, particularly for cocaine, as the Mexican cartels come under more pressure.
GREENE: We've been listening to NPR's Jason Beaubien talking to us from Jamaica. Jason, thanks.
BEAUBIEN: You're welcome.

New Orientation of Self- Awareness,
Skills & Tools for Sustaining Love &
How to transform "sex" into
pure, innocent, natural LoveMaking together
What Would Make Your Marriage
Or Relationship More Fulfilling?
Remember when you first met
how open your hearts were together, and
how connected you felt? Remember the
fun, the free flow of appreciation,
affection, good will, and love you
shared naturally together? What has
happened to your relationship? Or could
Whatever it is, couples like you can
learn to be able to open up your hearts
again (or learn how to keep them open).
However, it will take gaining
awarenesses, and learning skills and
tools that make the process emotionally
safe in your day-to-day lives together.
So you can share your needs in ways that
are heartfelt, without blame or making
others' wrong. So both partners feel
heard, understood, and responded to --
without having to nag, complain, argue,
or fight for your needs.
Couples can also learn to make the
relationship more fulfilling, and fun --
even more than before. As your
communication skills for resolving
issues are developed, trust and good
will emerge again. Or deepen.
Now you can focus on expanding your
intimacy skills and caring behaviors
together. You each open up and learn to
express appreciation easily together --
support, quality time, affection,
surprises, romance, and share more
meaningful and enjoyable activities
And, finally, couples can learn to make
love together. In a natural, more
innocent way that is more fulfilling for
both of you. And not just have "sex."
Chris Wright, M.A., LMFT
is a Licensed Marriage and Family
Therapist. He offers marriage
counseling, couples counseling, sex
therapy, premarital counseling, and
anger management counseling for those in
Northern Virginia, Maryland, and
Washington DC.
As a marital therapist, couples
counselor, pre marriage counselor, and
sex therapist, Chris Wright specializes
in helping couples and individuals
develop more conscious loving
relationships, marriages, and families.
He has over 20 years experience in
directing programs on couples issues.
Resolving these Issues:
Chris Wright's expertise includes anger
management issues,
and arguing in relationships. And issues
dealing with accountability,
expectations, and responsiveness in the
day-to-day responsibilities in the
relationship. Money and financial
issues, parenting and child rearing
issues, difficult stepchildren, his or
her parents, or his or her friends.
Decision making in the relationship,
control issues, where partners feel a
need to be listened to, and honored.
Also, how well you each manage stress,
insecurities, anxiety, emotions, alcohol
or substance abuse in the relationship.
All are important to know how to manage
and resolve safely together.
More Communication: Many couples experience issues around
the need for more communication, and
opening up more together. It is
important for couples to learn how to
communicate effectively with their
partner. And connect in a heartfelt way
more fully with each other.
Sexual Infidelity: Chris Wright also has expertise in
issues with
sexual infidelity, with
wives or husbands cheating, or caught
cheating, in an extramarital affair, an
emotional affair, or love affair. These
issues need to be fully resolved
together. Also, trust issues around
telling the truth, withholding, or
secrets. Surrendering your heart
requires a foundation of trust together.
That trust develops when you are
able to safely resolve your issues together and
respond to each other's core
Awareness: To do so, however, requires each partner gaining more self-awareness of their own inner world of core needs, sensitivities, and imbalances together! In this process of couples
counseling, we use the clinical tool the Enneagram Personality System, which identifies each other's natural gifts as well as your
challenges and blinders. This enables each of you to readily recognize and own, the
pressures in your personality instead
of acting them out unconsciously in your
life or onto others. You will also gain
more understanding and sensitivity for
your partner's world and core emotional
needs. You become more responsive and
honoring of what really matters to each
other in this relationship. This enables the relationship to flourish.
Therapist: In addition, as a
sex therapist,
Chris Wright works with sex problems in
the relationship, as well as sexual
healing from sexual trauma from the
past. He deals with issues such as
dissatisfying sex, or not enough sex, or
no sex in a marriage; sexual addiction,
pornography, and overwhelming sexual
desires and needs; frigidity, lack of
lubrication; sexual abuse and trauma
resolution; sexual insecurities and
lack of desire, turn offs,
unresponsiveness, and inhibitions.
Also, the frameworks Chris Wright
teaches provide the safety to enable men
who face impotency or premature
ejaculation to relax and feel in
command. Both of these issues tend can
be tied to inner emotional pressures
that take over and overshadow the man,
where he loses his potency, or his
sense of control. This can make an
incredible difference for the man (and
the woman!).
