It's a bit difficult to compare battery life between android and the iphone because of the wide variety of phones, but I do feel like android tends to favor power over battery life. But my droid gets far more battery life vs my 3gs. But I suspect that my iphone constantly searching for a signal didn't help things.
The market for android sucks still. Its still all about the OS.
But android has the clear advantage with service since THEY ARE ON ALL THE MAJOR PROVIDERS....are you listening Apple?
Its difficult to compare, both are good platforms.

In the united states yes, but in Canada iPhone OS is available on all of the major carriers and even 2 budget carriers.
iOS vs Android, is a poor comparison. They are targeted at two completely different sets of people. Coming from my Nexus One over to the iOS, I notice the biggest difference is simplicity. The iOS is simple. The Android OS is more complex. I love both of them. My Nexus One runs circles around my iPhone as far as pure power goes, and the abililty to do, well just about anything I feel like without Jailbreaking. The iPhone on the other hand (which I'm currently using) is keeping me more entertained, yes the APP Store is TONS better, and I dislike Android's very much. I actually spend more time "sideloading" apps on to the Nexus One then in the actual Market. Multi-Tasking on the Nexus One, DEFINITELY a perk, that way you're not launching apps "Fresh" where they have to go through the whole loading, etc. However, this isn't a complete dealbreaker to me either, with no multi-tasking, there is no real need for task managing. I've said this before to multiple people, we're really just entering a MAC vs WINDOWS race all over again.

Interesting take, with some valid points but also many inaccuracies. You really should get your facts straight.
The only real advantages are better accessibility and languages. Okay, a better stock media player...but there are good free big name options that actually give Android more media features.
Transitions or not are personal preference. No transitions is a faster simpler approach while transitions use more resources and is flashier. Android lets you choose if you want transitions or not. And you can turn on transitions for the screen rotating. I don't see the need and don't have one. You'll see this recurring theme with Android, choices for almost everything.
Either way, transitions don't add functionality. It's just glitter. Android 3.0 Gingerbread is focusing on UI, so plenty of the glitter people wish for will come.
"Multi-lingual users can add multiple languages to the keyboard and switch between multiple Latin-based input languages by swiping across the space bar. This changes the keys as well as the auto-suggest dictionary."
It's pretty cool actually and I have it set up to switch between English and Spanish as I'm taking a Spanish class. It's a great feature that the iOS does not have.
Plus, BetterKeyboard has a lot of different languages and themes and is a good quality keyboard that's not expensive.
Google continues to add support for more languages too.
However, given everything iOS has better language support although Android does offer some things as well.
Though, I must say being able to speak to input text is great in terms of accessibility.
They're also both flash memory so their speeds will be similar.
I also wouldn't exactly call it a media powerhouse. It doesn't support that many audio formats...like FLAC or OGG.
iOS users have to deal with plugging their phone into their computer all the time. That's really outdated.
I use 3 as my audio player, it has different unique ways of going through your albums and artists and has great widgets.
Ah right, you don't really get the play with widgets at all.
Dolphin Browser gives you tabbed browsing, syncing with your google bookmarks, gestures and more nice features. iOS only has Opera Mini as an alternative which I do use for when I'm on Edge.
What websites do you see that don't load properly?

A better comparison is the Nexus One which has the Incredible's specs but came out in January. The 3GS came out in July, so it's only a 5 month difference. The iPhone 4 just matches the Nexus One's specs...I expected Apple to surpass it at least a little. The Nexus with FroYo is also faster than the iPhone 4 when opening apps and browsing websites.
The G1 has full multitasking and handles Flash with FroYo or SenseUI ROMs while having iPhone 3G specs. Now that's efficient.
I use my Nexus around campus walking around all day in the bright as hell sun. I can see my screen perfectly outdoors with the brightness on Auto. The difference is, indoors my screen looks a lot better than the 3GS because its really dark blacks and vivid image.
HTC would say that no screen is meant to be in your pocket. Not exactly new news...jeans can put a lot of pressure on a screen.
The capacitive buttons are great, definitely not unresponsive. What's your source for that? Initially, the press point was a little high...but that was taken care of months ago and almost immediately in custom ROMs. It took a few days to get used to...not an issue.
3.5" is on the small side, no reason to no have at least 3.7".
The camera lens isn't on the outside, the protector is. So you're not going to easily damage your camera's lens.
The 3G being so slow shows how much better the G1 is. The G1 with one of the newer versions of Android is a much better phone than when it came out at Android's launch. It's evolved with newer versions of Android incredibly well. The 3G on the other hand has already been left in the dust by Apple. Part of that is Apple disabling features to entice you to upgrade. The G1's specs are pretty similar to the 3G's specs, only slightly more RAM. It handles full multitasking and Flash very well while the 3G can't dream of getting either. I've had a jailbroken 3G, it's multitasking was okay but not as good as Android's.
So is Apple's way of delivering updates better? Not necessarily. They're not free to everyone(iPod touch and now the iPad possibly). They're not always smooth launches and each one breaks jailbreaking again and again. Many people had problems with the iOS4 rollout. They're not OTA...stuck to the cable connected to your computer. Two generation old models are missing out on features. It seems nobody wins it all.
The Android marketplace also has some nice advantages like a 24 hour return policy, auto updating apps and almost twice as many free apps.
Plus, I don't have to learn a language only used by iOS to write an app. I just need Java that is commonly used throughout the world.

I definitely agree about the smoothness of it. My buddy has a Droid and it looks a bit jumpy at times.
I don't think anyones ganging up on iOS or Android. It's like if I had red ball, and you had a green ball. I would think all red balls are amazing, and that green balls suck. Just as you would be more partial to green balls, and not like red ones. That's all that's really going on. Both are solid, both are amazing advances in technology.

Preface: This is a pretty long post. I needed to vent some, so if you read it, thanks for indulging me; if not, there's a bottom line summary at the end.
I've got to side with Jello here...and I have had an EVO since launch. Some background on my smartphone history and an explanation first. I have always been a big fan of the best technology available, as I am sure most of us on this site are. I started out with a Panasonic MP3 player back in '05 and then switched to the original iPod 30GB video and was sold on Apple ever since. However, as much as I recognize and appreciate all things Apple, I like my money a little bit more, which is why I am on Sprint and have been for years. So, since I have not been able to get the iPhone, I have had to go with the best Sprint has to offer for the past few years. I started out with an HTC Mogul in '07 (I ran the numbers and AT&T was like $30 more/month...just couldn't do it) and then switched to the Pre last year and finally the EVO now. All of these phones have all had great features and were powerful in their own ways.
The Mogul was multitasking and copy and pasting like a champ years ago. The Pre had a very innovative UI that was fun, easy to customize, and had some great iPhone port versions of games. The EVO has just about every hardware feature known to mankind, most notably the huge screen and 1GHZ processor (neither of which are unique anymore, but still very good features). So from WinMo 6.1 to webOS 1.4 to Android 2.2, they all have great features and generally good phones.
However, the biggest thing that all of these phones are missing is the aforementioned "usability." The lag on every one of these phones is horrible; to qualify, it's not perpetually horrible, just frequent enough to REALLY **** you off. All of these phones are great proof of concept phones, but beyond that, say 2 months in, those concepts and features start to fall apart.
To focus on Android, since that's what this thread is actually about, I was really looking forward to a lot of the great features and vast app store that I had read about. When I first got my EVO, the new apps I would find or hear about every day was very fun--and useful. But at some point I had downloaded all of the main apps that both platforms have and started to notice all of the websites/stores that have an iPhone app but not Android. It's frustrating the more and more I realize that Android (as far as apps anyways) is absolutely second rate compared to iOS.
And as for all of the landmark features on the EVO (this can be expanded to Android in general since most of the top-tier phones are basically on par with the EVO specs), they are nice at first, but then the phone jerks, freezes, resets, force close errors popup, etc and then does it again and again, and I started to get pissed until I made the same realization as the app store--Android is second rate to iOS. I'm generally happy with the layout of the UI and the aesthetics, but my phone becomes unresponsive (i.e. I can't hang up a phone call) multiple times per day. Sometimes it was get a little laggy and unresponsive and I think I'm just being picky, but then I will consciously think "I wonder if I'm just being picky. Maybe, let's see if I can open something on the computer before my phone responds." And then I will open and close an e-mail on my computer, turn back to my phone, and a second or two later it finally responds or an app finally opens. I really want to go all in on Android and Google b/c I like gmail and other Google services, so the ecosystem integration would definitely be nice...but I just can't do it, or recommend it to anyone else.
The main issue here is the fundamental difference between bleeding edge and cutting edge technology. Android (and WinMo and Palm, once upon a time) is bleeding edge technology. It can do pretty much everything that is possible with the current technology, but it just does not do it reliably. Apple, on the other hand, is cutting edge technology. Some (not all--no one can deny them of their innovation record) of their features may technically be one step behind the competition, but when they implement them, they do it well, and make the user experience very good, reliable, and most importantly, enjoyable.
Good news for me: with Sprint's $10 "premium data" add-on times multiple phones on a family plan, they are no longer cheaper for me than AT&T after I factor in my corporate discount (which is also 5% better with AT&T), so my next phone will definitely be an iPhone.
Bad news for me: I'm only about half way through my current 2-year Sprint agreement, so by the time it's worth paying the pro-rated ETF, it will be next June when the next iPhone comes out.
Maybe Google will "fix" Android by then, but if it's like any other "bleeding edge" tech I've used, I'm not going to hold my breath.
Here's to waiting for iPhone 5!
P.S. As an example for my points, I was trying to show the EVO vs. iPhone cartoon that the Best Buy employee made on youtube the other day to some non-techies--while on wifi--and the video kept getting about half way through before some random error message would pop up, forcing me to restart the video and find where it left off. Definitely not cool. You can probably imagine the reaction from the non-techies.

Re: Access violations errors 32 bit
would this have to do with having a fat32 versus fat16 system or applications. i know that if your system is set to fat32 that there are some applications that won't run as expected. Could MCAfee be one of these?

In particular, the budget bill provided funding for the Farms to Food Banks initiative. A second bill designed to support landowner rights in protecting their crops and livestock from nuisance wildlife also has beneficial impacts for food banks.
Beshear ceremonially signed House Bills 235 and 448 at the Harrison County Extension Office in Cynthiana.

We were extremely pleased with the wonderful 5-star service provided by Danilo and his team --- something rarely seen with short-term rentals. Prior to our visit, Danilo was very responsive to our emails. When we asked if he could recommend a reputable local babysitting agency, he went out of his way to arrange for a sitter for us through a local babysitting service and even forwarded her c.v. and a short video clip provided by the agency prior to our trip for our review. Danilo also gave us his cell phone number and told us to call when we were on our way to the office so he could make sure he was there (after hours) for check-in. I was pleasantly pleased when he promptly answered his cell phone and said he would be waiting for us. Unlike most short-term rental companies, when we checked-in, Danilo didn't just hand us the keys, he made sure we had a map of the area, knew where the main sights were and he even helped with our luggage. We rented the Luxury Apartment from Signoria Apartments - a charming one-bedroom apartment in a fabulous location in the heart of Florence. We could walk to the Duomo, the Uffizi, the Academy, the leather market etc. - a car would have been a nuisance. Through out our stay Danilo really went out of his way to provide superior service – even offering to dry our clothes in the dryer at his office when I couldn't figure out how to work get the European combination washer/dryer machine to dry our clothes and it was time to check out. He also graciously stored our luggage after checkout until we were ready to leave. The service we received made traveling so much easier and less stressful. We really missed the fabulous service at Signoria Apartments when we went to check in with a different apartment rental company in Rome and where simply given a set of keys without a warm welcome, no help with our luggage and no office close by (like Signoria Apartments has) to turn to if we had questions. Even after we left, Danilo was still looking out for us – when we went to Rome two of our leather bags (including a brand new leather bag that my husband had bought in Italy with his laptop in it) went missing. We received an email from Danilo saying that Signoria Apartments had received a call from our taxi driver who had our bags and was trying to track us down. The taxi driver had found the Signoria Apartments contact info in one of bags. Thanks to Danilo we were able to get in touch with the taxi driver and get our bags back. Would definitely stay with Signoria Apartments again – the location is excellent and the service first rate. ---

J.R. Martinez, the 2002 Dalton High School graduate, took home the 13th mirror-ball trophy tonight on "Dancing With the Stars."
This was not a surprise. His credentials as a war hero, his vibrant personality and his exuberant dancing style all contributed to his victory.
"First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who voted for us for 10 weeks," Martinez said. He then credited Karina Smirnoff, his partner, for her first mirror-ball trophy.
He is the second consecutive winner with Georgia ties after UGA grad Hines Ward. Martinez's mom still lives in Dalton and though he only spent senior year at Dalton High, he considers it his hometown.
Going back to my predictions ten weeks ago, I made some really smart picks and some bad ones. I predicted Rob Kardashian would be out within three weeks. He ended up the runner up. But I also picked Martinez and third-place finisher Ricki Lake in the top three, along with Hope Solo, who came in fourth.
UPDATE: Ratings (19.5 million) were good but among 18 to 49 year olds, the 4.1 rating was its worst fall finale ever. The show skews old, with the average age watching about 57 years old.

People shouldn't win just on sympathy votes.
November 22nd, 2011
11:06 pm
He didn't need sympathy votes! He deserved his win!
November 22nd, 2011
11:22 pm
J.R. wouldn't have won if people didn't feel sorry for him.
November 22nd, 2011
11:27 pm
And the only reason Rob was even there was because of his sisters, the dysfunctional three.
November 22nd, 2011
11:28 pm
JR Martinez doesn't feel sorry for himself so why should anyone else? He was the best dancer, the most fun to watch and he and his partner deserved to win. Rob did a great job too and so did Ricki.
November 22nd, 2011
11:31 pm
Ricki was the best throughout the competition !
November 22nd, 2011
11:35 pm
Rob was not robbed, he wasn't the best and shouldn't have made it has far as he did! It was always the Ricky and JR show. They were both amazing and both deserved to win!
November 22nd, 2011
11:40 pm
JR deserverd to win. while he was out fighting for our country its because of that is why we are able to have shows like this to watch . He also did alot of good work when he was on all my children showing other service people hey you can come back home and do something. JR has a good and agreat personality. CONGRATS on winning.and may GOD bless you. you are an inspiration to all.
November 22nd, 2011
11:43 pm
Rob was one of the most boring dancers his weren't even half as energetic as J.R. He didn't win cause of sympathy he won because he kicked butt
November 22nd, 2011
11:45 pm
jr deserved to win. while he was ouy fighting for our country,its because of this we are able to have shows like this to watch. He also did alot of good on all my children.
November 22nd, 2011
11:45 pm
How could anyone say that JR won on sympathy votes! He truly danced amazing from the start not toward the end, the guy has talent and it showed no one feels sorry for JR, simply because he doesn't allow it, he is a true competitor who got his just desserts. Way to go JR.
November 22nd, 2011
11:46 pm
Ricki had the highest scores from the judges in the finals and throughout, this is suppose to be about dancing not popularity1!!
November 22nd, 2011
11:46 pm
You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself. JR put his neck on the line so you could have freedoms … freedom of speech just to say something sooo stupid. He didn't need sympathy votes to win. He is a first class act – handsome, full of energy and charisma, and a lot of bravery to put himself out there so people like you can critcize him. Congrats JR, you deserve it!!! We Love You!!!
November 22nd, 2011
11:47 pm
Rob is an idiot – JR and Ricki were steady throughout the whole thing. Either on them deserved to win!
November 22nd, 2011
11:52 pm
ROB WAS ROBBED – HA! He couldnt move his fat ass JR didnt need sympathy votes – he was awesome! Ricki and JR and their partners earned the finals. I'm sorry Ricki came in 3rd. Rob should have been gone weeks ago.

Sympathy votes? I saw not one comment anywhere about anyone feeling sorry for J.R.? I never heard one "poor me poor me" comment made by him or about him on any sight anywhere. Sympathy about what? Yes, what happened to him was a tragedy…but look what it has done for him – and for anyone who knows anything about him. He became the man he is today – giving, inspirational, kind and uplifting – and very brave! He won DWTS on a combination of talent, personality, courage, hard work and inspiration – nothing there to feel sorry about – and he would be the first to say that. Congratulations to him – well deserved!
November 23rd, 2011
5:24 am
Rob had no business being in the final two, it should have been Ricki and JR. When they announced that Rob was in the final two, I switched channels as there is no way I was going to spend another second on a Kardashian, especially those fake family members in the audience….
Woke up the morning and yes, JR won….he was deserving of the trophy because of his dancing ability alone.
November 23rd, 2011

the he/she wuz robbed!
November 23rd, 2011

I am going to boycott this show
November 23rd, 2011
6:07 am
Get over it, folks. It's just a show. Yes, it's a real competition and all these guys are really working hard, yes, even Chubby Chaz. The winner had to capture judges votes and audience votes, so it is partially a popularity contest, but those are the rules and have been since day one!
I'm just a spectator; I don't vote nor care about the votes. I don't care for Mr. Kardashian, not his brood of spoiled brat sisters. But he put out an effort at the last (where it counted) and impressed better judges than me. Lake and Martinez performed well through the whole competition and both deserved the recognition they received.
And, yes, as a veteran, I am blown away by the example of the American spirit that JR has set.

Congrats JR! You were so fun to watch and you showed everyone that you can overcome unbelieveable events in your life and still be positive, upbeat and passionate. You are a winner all the way around!
November 23rd, 2011
8:12 am
I personally predicted that JR would win the trophy from the very beginning of the show. Thank God that he needs no sympathy or empathy from anyone. He has God's gifts/talents and they were utilized from the very start. I commend him for his hard work, personality, spirit and determination. A last name should not carry weight for winning any contest. (Rob) – especially, if you have not proven yourself in the competition. If someone – calling no names decides to boycott – trust me the show will continue on in spite of what you feel or think at this point. Congratulations to JR and his professional dance partner!!
November 23rd, 2011
8:32 am
Ricky was the one robbed of second place. Rob is not a dancer and lacks the energy and flexibility that JR has. The Rob K whiners like his armenian buttocks.

November 23rd, 2011

I was surprised to see Rob K. be in 2nd place, but he did kick butt on Monday night. But the final two should have been between JR and Ricky. Ricky did great throughout and could have won, but I was glad for JR and that Karina finally won one.
But, question: WAS JR's girlfriend there last night!!? I didn't see her in the audience, nor come up to congratulate him after the win. I saw his mom, but where was the GF…? I hope nothing happened the night before. Anyone see her…?
And, Rob K strikes me as a little…sweet; is he gay?
November 23rd, 2011
9:14 am
it was not fair that jr was on niteline an ABC show the night before the winner was announced, allowing more viewers to vote in a.m. after seeing the interview. However, it is ok w/ me he won because he could dance and was always gracious when the judges critiqued his performance. My fav was Ricki.
She was robbed of at least 2nd place. Rob K ? I mean, What?. Thank God they did not top the winner. Sorry Ricki, you really were robbed.
November 23rd, 2011
9:19 am
@Shame on you. JR did not have to go regarding our freedom. All this would not be necessary, if our country leaders had different international policies, then just invading other countries, and killing their innocent citizens. All that, and more on this country's taxpayers accounts, thus bringing our country further down, and down, again.
November 23rd, 2011
9:27 am
RE: ROB WAS ROBBED…maybe "sympathy" wasn't the best word.. I think JR won because of his back story (along with his dancing). If just judging from the finals I think Rob should have won, he had progressed in his dancing ablilities the most. BUT as a whole JR had more showmanship and danced better throughout the competition. All three finalists did well.
November 23rd, 2011
9:29 am
Please, somebody remind me – WHY are the Kartrashians famous?
November 23rd, 2011
9:34 am
For all those complaining about who won, should have won or didn't win…did you even VOTE ?!?!?!? J.R. and Ricki were hands down the best dancer but EVERYONE knows who watches DWTS, that viewer's votes are the ones that chooses the winner. We see that is how Bristol Palin got to the finals !
November 23rd, 2011
9:35 am
Last night I said the show was rigged and Ricki Lake would win even though I thought JR should win. I am glad I was wrong…..JR was fabulous. No sympathy votes went his way. He deserved to win and he could dance. Rob was robbed, what a hoot! However, he did lose some of his girly butt. He improved over time, but he definitely didn't out dance JR nor Ricki Lake.

Stopped watching this show after they ran out of stars after season 2. Who the heck is JR Martinez? If you have to look him up they're not a star.
November 23rd, 2011
10:18 am
Ricki looked good because Derek is great. Derek is the best pro, and JR was the best "star." Rob was very good too. Results were "right on."
November 23rd, 2011
10:19 am
And almost 18 million people watch this stuff…the end of the world must be near !!
November 23rd, 2011
11:03 am
@Fez ~ JR is a star! Besides starring in a war helping to fight for YOUR freedom, he was also a star on All My Children. Sure a soap opera, but he also delivered star performances…how about you.
Wait, Fez, are you Uncle Fez from The Adams Family??? Guess they should have recruited you for DWTS.
November 23rd, 2011
11:36 am
Who didn't see this coming. I've never watched one minute of that show and I could have told you a month ago they were going to give it to this guy.
November 23rd, 2011
11:59 am
I too thought the show was rigged. I know I saw Ricki Lake holding the ball in a short clip on one of the previews….Because I had commented Monday that it was rigged and Ricki would win…my apologies. I was wrong. I'm glad I was wrong. JR was the true winner and Ricki should have come in second. Rob Kardashian was there because of who his family is and his Mom pushed him to participate. He said that. JR won, not on his family riches but because he was the best dancer. Sympathy is the last thing he wants and he has proven it by continuing to succeed in all his business/goals assets. He has not allowed his tragedy stop him from achieving what goal he sets his mind to. That's not sympathy. CONGRATULATIONS JR and KARINA. …. I'm glad he is from Georgia.
November 23rd, 2011
12:01 pm
…Yes, I did see his girlfriend in the audience last night. She was wearing a cap.
November 23rd, 2011
12:23 pm
My two-cents worth:
J.R. had what Donny Osmond had – not always the best dances, but enough showmanship to hide the errors. He also had the benefit of having Carrie Ann and Bruno giving him up to 2 or 4 extra points each week because of who is was, not how he danced. I get it. They liked and admired him, but they didn't always vote according to his dancing.
In the final dance with all three contestants, Ricki did have the best dance, but Rob was clearly better than J.R. You could hear it in Len's explanation about the disagreement in the judge's scores. I think he liked Rob's footwork so much he felt (as I did), that Rob should have been in 2nd place with that last dance, especially with the out of sync beginning to J.R.'s final dance. Carrie Ann and Bruno both commented on it, yet still voted for J.R. over Rob.
Ricki would have been in the finals with better viewer support. She was that good. That she NAILED that Psycho tango reprise (an extremely difficult dance due to the score – ONLY Derek could have choreographed that number) was evidence of that. Most visually artistic dance of the entire series.
Despite how many happen to dislike Rob for his family, Carrie Ann was right in that he was the perfect contestant for the show – start off slow and improve every week. He deserved to be in the final three. His arm work was still a bit stiff, but his footwork was exceptional at the end (as Len, the only judge with ballroom dancing experience pointed out).
Kudos to Chynna Phillips for finally nailing her Mission Impossible dance following the brain freeze weeks ago. Without that, she could have been in the finals. Gorgeous dancer's lines.
Kristin Cavalleri showed why she was voted off way too soon.
Loved Chaz and Lacey's (and her Dad's) Chunky routine.
Ditto Carson's Vogue takeoff. Never has one man without a shred of coordination entertained in a dance.
Great camerawork on Hope and Mak's last dance. Early in the routine they swung by the exterior of the dance floor and her move ended up kicking one of the spotlights – hard. A fitting end to the soccer star's run on the show – kicking something.
Could have done without seeing Metta World Peace again, but his partner is smokin' hot.
And it goes without saying that Tom Bergeron is the best host – bar none – that could be on that show. His ability to handle any and all needed ad-libs is without peer in this industry.

Since people have inquired about my tattoo and what exactly means, I thought I'd share my story. Here goes:
When I was 25 I experienced a quarter-life crisis. I think it's pretty common for this to happen when you've been in the workplace for a few years and reality hits that the grass isn't greener on the other side. I'm quite certain most of you have experienced this feeling.
I wasn't happy or fulfilled working 80-hour work weeks at an agency doing something that I had no passion for, for a company that offered to give me more money to stay (which I vowed, early on, wouldn't keep me somewhere), but couldn't give me the one thing I had asked for: a global experience. After three global opportunities fell through, I decided it was time to do something for me. I'd leave the agency and move overseas. Then I met a guy. Best part is, he supported my dream. And then an opportunity in the Czech Republic happened upon me. It was very purposeful that this happened. It really was all very purposeful.
This tattoo is my story; a story about embracing change and ignoring the people in my life who doubted me…an unconventional story about patience and love and doing something for both me and for us.
What each component signifies:
Globe with heart on the States, and plane flying up into the exact copy (blown up) of my Prague passport entry stamp when I moved there: I left to pursue my dream. We stayed together.
Český Krumlov map coordinates: He proposed to me in my second home to Prague, Český Krumlov.
My favorite Czech word and the name of my travel blog: změna, meaning 'change'
Rooftop over 'změna': signifies that 'home' is a relative term and not a stationary place
Prague changed me. The place is special and the people are what made it special. I'll never forget it…especially now.
Thank you to the lovely Ashley Barlow for working with me to tell my story through her talented design skills.
If you'd like to see my tattoo in person or here my story, just ask. I'm more than happy to share. And I love me some coffee talk. Sharing is caring!
He said/She said - On the topic of travel
When Tom and I first met, we exchanged many love notes. The love note topics ranged from our favorite words to our favorite color of socks. But my personal favorite, naturally, was the topic of our individual Travel TO-DOs, which essentially were our mutual Travel TO-DOs because our minds were just that connected, even early on in our relationship. I look back at these messages, and they elicit a smile. A big one. I also think, 'this man can write!' So creative. So funny. So special. And, he's mine!
Here goes, on the topic of our top 5 travel destinations:
He Said
Finally, to the matter at hand. The top 5:
1. Mt. Everest; I have this vision of traveling to Nepal and climbing to base camp 10-15k up. But, before I am embark, I want to distribute snickers bars and bottles of coca-cola (classic) to the native pre-adolescents. I have to say, this was not completely my idea. My cousin Beata did this and also bought out a local store of $3-apiece snickers bars only to witness an unforgettable glee seen only in their eyes. These kids have never ever dreamed of having a snickers.
2. Machu Picchu; No worries, I really do have my own dream destinations, but I have never been here and it looks beautiful. I guess there are two ways to get there, by bus and by hike. One is a day-trip and the other takes a week. I say, let's sneak up on it, who's in a rush?
3. Safari in Tanzania/Kenya; I have always wanted to hang off the side of a rusty land-rover with a huge camera. I also always have wanted to take out one of those vintage canteens, un-cork and tip 'em back, only to find out that the only bit of water I have left is dried out in sand and that an elephant is charging us because we got too close to its calf.
4. Fjords of Norway; I have to take that Scandinavian cruise someday. If not, I will buy a dog and name it Fjord.
5. Oktoberfest in Munchen; I have friends in ol' Deutschland and open invites to join them for beer-drinking and brats that start at 7AM, daily. Oktoberfest, what a great idea. Let's shut down the entire country for a week of getting hammered and increasing our risk of heart disease.
Other notables; GREECE, Japan, New Zealand, Rio de Janiero
She said:
Love your top 5 destinations -
1) I too want to climb Everest! The notion of giving the children snickers and coca-cola classic (has to be classic, full of sugary goodness) is great - such an American treat, I bet they loved it.
2) I would rather hike Machu Picchu than bus it as well. This approach offers endless possibility…which leads to lots of good stories for my novel someday. I bet I'd meet lots of friends on the way. I am not a shy individual, in case you couldn't tell.
3) Elephants are big and menacing. I'd like to ride one someday, though, so I have ambitions to travel to Africa as well. My madre went there this summer for a medical mission trip…not quite safari-style, more 'giving people malaria shots and kneeling in feces-style'. I'd be elated to join her in the coming year. It has to be sustainable care though. Mucho importante.
4) Fjord would be a great name for a dog. My mom and dad hit up Norge on a cruise a couple of years ago and loved it. I hit up the bars in Norge and marched with the soldiers during the 100 years celebration. They didn't appreciate that too much.
5) I am in love with Germany.
Too many places I'd like to go - how about surf and ski in NZ?! Love that notion.

Nicole and Jerome's Wedding in Bethlehem
There is no place like Bethlehem at Christmas. In fact, perhaps that is where the spirit of Christmas lives – from horse-driven carriages, to stars of Bethlehem hanging everywhere you look, to a candle in every window on Main Street.
Nicole and Jerome decided that all they wanted for Christmas was each other and celebrated their wedding among many family and friends in Christmas capital and their hometown. After a beautiful church wedding and a fun trolley ride the couple and their bridal party headed to Hotel Bethlehem and braved the chill on Main Street, where we got some beautiful shots. What a night and what a way to say goodbye to 2012! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and many years of happiness to Nicole and Jerome!

Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
Breathing Problems: Causes, Tests, and Treatments
Can Medical Intervention Help Me Manage Breathing Problems?
So often, people seek medical intervention only after they have had breathing problems for weeks to months. Often by the time the medications are started, damage has occurred that takes more time to heal.
An accurate diagnosis is important before you can treat and prevent breathing problems. Each of us is different. The specific medication and treatment program that works for a family member or friend may not be the correct one for your problem. In fact, it is difficult to really understand your respiratory problem without a clear and thorough understanding of how breathing works.
If you have symptoms of one or more of the common breathing problems discussed in this article, see your doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Write down any questions you have and seek answers. Prevention and treatment measures can dramatically help relieve and possibly end the breathing problems you experience.

Another patient under Dr. Paul Muscari's care went to have her teeth cleaned 13 months ago. But the bill was bungled and is still not resolved.
In January 2006, Norma Hill visited Dr. Muscari's office in Morristown to have her teeth cleaned. She talked about the possibility of luminaries to brighten her teeth but changed her mind.
While at the office, an employee suggested Norma join Care Credit. She did and Muscari's office was paid quickly.
However, "Later, I get a bill, next month, for $3,000. I panicked and I go back to that office with the bill," Norma said.
Norma said on one trip to the office, she ran into Muscari. "And I'm telling Paul what's happening. And he said, 'Oh Norma. I'm so sorry. Nancy done that. It's all our mistake. We're going to take care of this.' I said, Paul, I need it taken care of now."
Norma sent several certified letters to Muscari and the dispute company. "The first one I sent to Paul, which has never been opened, was sent back to me from Paul's office."
Norma can't figure out why Muscari's office didn't settle the dispute. Meantime, she makes monthly payments to the credit company.
The $3,000 mistake for the cleaning remained on her bill for 10 months until November, when Muscari's office forwarded part of the money to Care Credit.
"He paid almost $2,300," 6 On Your Side said. "Yes," Norma said. "You still have a balance of how much?" 6 On Your Side asked. "$713.29," Norma said.
To keep her credit clean, Norma says she's paid about $400 out of her own pocket to Care Credit.
Three weeks ago, 6 On Your Side followed Norma with a surveillance camera as she talked to Dr. Muscari's office manager and wife, Nancy Muscari. Norma says for months, she's been dealing with Mrs. Muscari.
"Could I make a copy of this, then call and get the figures and call you later today or tomorrow?" Nancy said.
"Now this has been told to me all year long that it hasn't been credited," Norma told her.
"Well I thought I credited what I thought. I mean, I know I credited some," Nancy said. "I may have punched in the wrong numbers or whatever. But let me call them and look at your ledger and I will credit it."
6 On Your Side contacted Muscari's office about the issue. In January, Mrs. Muscari said on the phone that she's in the process of correcting the mistake to Norma's bill. But as of early Monday, Norma's account has not been fully credited.
"I want my bill resolved, my credit cleared up and never to walk back into that office again," Norma said.
6 On Your Side asked Muscari and his wife if we could sit down and talk on camera about Norma Hill. They wouldn't do it.
Late Monday afternoon, Dr. Muscari talked briefly with us on the phone about Norma's case. "As far as Norma Hill is concerned, she's had over $2,300 returned to her. And the outstanding balance that she's got over the difference in the money was to cover an outstanding balance that she's had over two years."
Norma Hill responded, saying she presently has no outstanding balance and hasn't owned Muscari money in over two years.
Nancy Muscari said Monday she's tried but failed to reach Norma on the phone as she promised.
Meanwhile, Norma's bill from Care Credit continues to mount. She says $800 plus is the present balance.

The US Green Building Council has announced that the viagra online sales planned revision of the LEED green building system which was due later this year has now been delayed until at least the middle of viagra in the uk next year. What was supposed to be called LEED 2012 is being renamed LEEDv4 (the current version, LEED 2009, was version 3).
LEED is a developing system, not a fixed standard. Previous transformations have revised and canada viagra online reoriented the rating system, and this has helped to advance the cause of green building. The intent of the USGBC has been to continue to it's cool levitra online us push the construction industry to make buildings better. However the present perception is that the new LEED pushes too much, too fast. In his letter announcing the generic cialis from china change, USGBC President and CEO S. Richard Fedrizzi wrote, "We intend to do everything we can to ensure that the market is ready for LEED v4 because it represents progress on both carbon reduction and human health improvements."
LEED is getting criticism from many different directions. It has been assailed by Congress, which has specifically prohibited the Department of Defense from expending any funds to achieve LEED gold or platinum certification. Arguments over standards for the only now canadian online pharmacy cialis certification of wood have been particularly contentious. And just this week, congressional hearings on green building science are being held.

For Immediate Release:Louisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137 / 526-3622
Louisville – The Ad Hoc Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs of the Louisville Metro Council has approved a resolution calling for changes in the Kentucky Revised Statues to give subpoena power to the Metro Ethics Commission.
The resolution also calls for clear definitions of misconduct if it becomes necessary to remove a Metro Official.
"This Committee has worked in a bi partisan effort. We are ready to ask the General Assembly to clarify what is a gray area when it comes to our ethics code," said Councilman David Yates, who chairs the committee. "Subpoena power for our Metro Ethics Commission and misconduct are two areas of concern that arose when the Metro Council did its deliberations in the Shanklin case this past summer."
Under the proposed resolution, the Kentucky General Assembly is being asked to grant subpoena power the Metro Ethics Commission in the area of administrative proceedings. That power would require person to testify before the Commission and produce documents relevant to any possible violation of the Metro Code of Ethics.
The resolution also asks for a clearer definition of KRS 67C 143(1) to require "misconduct", "incapacity" and "willful neglect" be defined under KRS and that upon a finding by the legislative council sitting as a court of official misconduct, fraud, theft, embezzlement or misappropriation of public funds committed by an elected officer, the elected official shall be removed from office. Current state law says that an official may be removed if found guilty of misconduct.
Joining Yates as sponsors of the resolution are Councilmen Jerry Miller (R-19), Robin Engel (R-22) and Council President Jim King (D-10).
The Councilman has also drafted legislation that will cap the amount of tax dollars used for defense attorney fees in these proceedings. This legislation will be a change to the current Metro Council's rules and does not require any KRS revisions.
The measure will go before the full Metro Council on Thursday, December 12th.

Throughout October, The Telegram reported on complaints family members were making about nursing homes in and around St. John's and responses — or sometimes the lack of response — from health care officials.
Each week, The Telegram visits a person of note — or one who is surely notable — and puts to them our 20 Questions.
Blood donations needed
The Telegram has decided to try to make a difference in the vital role of the blood system in Newfoundland. From the Canadian Blood services website "Every minute of time you donate to Canadian Blood Services makes it easier to save lives. And that is something of which to be proud."
Visit this site often for more information about how iving blood does save lives.
Death. It's a natural part of the life cycle, and something about which we all have a morbid curiosity. For some, it goes beyond curiosity — it's a facet of their daily life. Telegram reporter Tara Bradbury introduces you to a group of people who, by choice or by chance, deal with death every day. This is her four-part series "Living With Death," running in the Telegram Oct. 9 to 12.
The Telegram strives to keep the public informed, particularly when that information involves homes, neighbourhoods, security, social justice, livelihoods and pocketbooks.
Our reporters ask questions on your behalf on matters of public interest and policy, but the answers aren't always forthcoming.
In order to shine a little extra light on stories where information is denied or deemed unavailable, or where those accountable refuse to comment, we're introducing a regular feature called On Our Radar, to let readers know the efforts we've gone to on their behalf.
On Our Radar gives a synopsis of a story we're following, lets you know the current status of our coverage, and explains who ultimately has the answers to the questions we've been asking.
We hope you find it informative and that it prompts you to ask some questions of your own.

5. Why aren't you still with so-and-so? He was such a nice boy!
Clearly, whatever you see on the surface is the absolute truth. If he seems like a nice boy, of course he's a nice boy and someone I should marry and spend the rest of my life with. What's wrong with me? Clearly my great aunt knows best! So say this: "I really miss him. Maybe he'll lift the restraining order and we can get back together." (Because no one has a right to ask you about your relationship status if you're not a celebrity!)

Good day everyone,
My wife carried our fourth child full term and delivered him,
all 11 lbs. 4 oz, on September 5, 2006. The last few weeks of the pregnancy, her BP was elevated slightly, and no excessive protiens in the urine. During labor, she was closely monitored by our midwife. After delivery, her BP did not settle back to her traditional 120's/80's. It remained 150ish/90's.Six days after delivery, she went back for a 1 week check up. The night before, she had been up all night with a severe headache and had noticed vision alterations. At the check up, her BP was measured and recorded as 190/160. The midwife referred us to a physician, who measured my wife an hour later at 160/90. The physician prescribed Labetalol....My wife is an avid believer in breastfeeding and after reading the prescrition insert, has chosen not to take it. (It states that Labetalol is transferred into breastmilk and can cause adverse reactions to an infant) We have been monitoring her BP at home and combatting this new ailment with rest, and calcium/magnesium supplements. Her BP is
holding steady at 135-150/80-90....She has not "officially" been diagnosed with post partum preeclampsia(we are awaiting lab work results), but after reading on this forum, it sure sounds like it to me....My question is, can this condition be expected to be a long term
problem? If not, what is an average recovery time? Preeclampsia is something I'm just learning about. What are some of the things I, as an uneducated husband, should be on the look out for?

SANTA MARIA, Brazil (AP) -- There was no alarm, no extinguishers, no sprinklers and almost no escape from the nightclub that became a death trap for more than 200 Brazilian college students.
As investigators began poking through the rubble and families mourned their dead, questions abounded as the university city in southern Brazil tried to understand how the Sunday morning blaze that killed 231 people could have been sparked in the first place, then rage rapidly out of control.
Why was there only one door available for exit and entry? What was the flammable material in the ceiling that allowed the conflagration to move so quickly? And, more pointedly, why was a band playing at the club allowed to use pyrotechnics inside the building?
Police were leaning toward the band's pyrotechnics as the cause of the blaze during a party at the Kiss nightclub organized by several academic departments at the Federal University of Santa Maria. Inspector Antonio Firmino, who's part of the team investigating the fire, said it appeared the club's ceiling was covered with an insulating foam made from a combustible material that ignited with the pyrotechnics.
Firmino said the number and state of the exits is under investigation but that it appeared that a second door was "inadequate," as it was small and protected by bars that wouldn't open.
The disaster, the worst fire of its kind in more than a decade, also raises questions of whether Brazilian authorities are up to the task of ensuring safety in such venues ahead of it hosting next year's World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.
Some critics have said conditions in many Brazilian bars and clubs are ripe for another deadly blaze. They say that in addition to modernizing sometimes outdated safety codes and ensuring sufficient inspectors, people must change their way of thinking and respect safety regulations.
Hundreds of people marched peacefully outside the nightclub Monday night to remember the victims, and demand justice. Some carried signs with slogans such as, "May God's justice be carried out."
"We hope that the justice system, through its competent mechanisms, succeeds in clarifying to the public what happened, and gives the people an explanation," said marcher Eglon Do Canto.
Brazilian police said they detained three people Monday in connection with the blaze, while the newspaper O Globo said on its website that a fourth person had surrendered to police.
