I was at dinner with friends recently when someone asked me…"do you have to just like walk around your house and take photos everyday?" I didn't really know what to say because ummm, yeah! That is seriously what I have to do everyday to feed my instagram account which has become a large part of my Lottie is Loving business. It's the same house. Every day. So the challenge is to find something new to photograph. In amongst the general amusement / bewilderment from friends that my business relies on me prowling my house with camera in hand, I received some feedback that I should include myself in the photos a bit more. What do you think?
But for now, back to the house and a decorating update. I feel like this house is slowly becoming a home. It is taking time but I think we are gradually getting there. I have been so busy this year that my original plan to have the house decorated and feeling 'homey' within 2 months has blown out. We are still without so many items but here is a corner that I feel has finally come together.
I am madly in love with the string shelving which has made a huge difference to this slightly odd corridor in the living room. And the Tigmi Trading rug is one of my most beloved items already. This rug is so incredibly soft and the handiwork of the Boujad people is beautifully apparent, adding to it's appeal.
I have kept the styling of these shelves intentionally minimal – sometimes less is more. Having a large range of props and decorating items I have a tendency to go a bit overboard at times, so here I am showing some restraint.
On the other side of the living room, I have simply swapped out the Missoni cushions for some fresh Walter G and Milk & Sugar ones. After the bright bold colours of the Missoni, I decided to change direction and go with tonal blues, greys and whites. It feels right in this space – sometimes it's just a small change that can make a big difference, so my advice is to always start with a few small changes first to see if you can achieve the look you are after. Next step is to clean the sofas (and the rug!!) which have both seen better days.
So…there we have it. I promise to post a bit more frequently from now on. Things recently have been exceptionally busy but I miss this blog when I am away for too long. Now where is my camera so I can go on the prowl looking for a corner that I may not yet have captured!

Grover Beach police ordered to return patient's pot
January 17, 2007
Associated Press, Mercury News (CA)
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - A judge ordered Grover Beach police to return medical pot seized from a medical marijuana patient who was acquitted of a drug possession charge.
Superior Court Judge Michael Duffy this week ordered return of the 20 grams of marijuana to return the pot to Kenneth Parson. Police planned to do so by the end of the day Friday.
The city will avoid $5,900 in attorney's fees and fines by returning the marijuana.
"The city would like to have the opportunity to pursue this issue further, but having determined that given the potential cost of filing a suit in federal court and the city's limited resources, it is less than prudent to pursue this action further," Mayor Steve Lieberman said in a statement.
The marijuana was seized by police when Parson was stopped for a traffic violation. Parson was later charged with misdemeanor possession but acquitted.
"It's a step forward," Parson said. "They've got to give it back, they've got to obey the law."
Parson had the valid doctor's consent required under the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, a state law allowing those with a doctor's recommendation to possess and cultivate marijuana for personal medical use.

Richard Seymour, sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for the fatal beating of his son 30 years ago, seems to have spared his family further grief by telling a parole board last week that his time served was insufficient punishment for the heinous crime he committed.
Actually, the 66-year-old Billerica native made that admission with his one-word "no" response to a question posed by Parole Board Chairman Paul Treseker.
We agree, and believe Seymour's candid answer should ensure his denial of parole and incarceration for at least another five years.
Seymour pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the fatal beating of his teen-age son on Jan. 20, 1986, in the family's Billerica home.
Seymour, who according to a Sun report had a history of family violence and abuse, had been at home drinking, snorting cocaine and smoking marijuana on that day when his son asked to borrow one of Seymour's work trucks.
That request apparently lit the fuse of his irrational, deadly behavior. Seymour also accosted his wife Regina Marsh, daughter Paula Todisco, and a friend after they returned home to find Patrick's body.
That's why mother and daughter took comfort from the positive vibes they felt from parole board members, who they believed discounted Seymour's hollow apology for his actions.
It could be another month or so before a formal decision on his parole is rendered, but that should only be a formality.
Unfortunately, if Seymour survives another five years, they'll be forced to endure another reliving of a son's and brother's death, when he's eligible to petition for parole again.

Well, our charmed respite from winter's wrath has officially come to a close. With close to a foot of snow in some locations last Friday and another several inches forecast through Wednesday, we can say goodbye to that springlike feel that teased us as recently as Thursday.
Up until now, those nor'easters opted to ravage New York and Washington with snowfall measured in feet. Apparently, we've exhausted our winter reprieve. In addition to snow, we're bracing for the the coldest temperatures of the season this weekend, with highs only in the teens.
But we really can't complain. These developments pale in comparison to last winter's record snow and cold.
By now, we've had ample time to tune up those snowblowers and station those snow rakes at the ready.
After all, we do live in New England.

2014 Workshops Presented by
Minneapolis, MN on September 12-13th, 2014
Sensory defensiveness is a serious sensory modulation problem that is rarely correctly identified and infrequently treated directly and effectively. Avanti Educational Workshops will introduce an in-depth, clinical approach to treating sensory defensiveness, including how to create a sensory diet.
Sensory defensiveness will be described across multiple age and diagnostic groups. The relation between sensory defensiveness and emerging psychological and neuroscience theories of behavior will be considered.
Clinical labs consist of training in specific assessment and treatment techniques including the protocols developed by Patricia Wilbarger. Practicum exercises incorporate detecting and analyzing sensory based behaviors, activity planning (the "sensory diet") and the management of individual cases using advanced clinical reasoning procedures.
Clinical work over four decades and advances in basic neuroscience have resulted in a specific, multidimen-sional treatment approach that has had a dramatic impact on client outcomes. This integrated approach is client centered and requires advanced clinical rea-soning. Casual exposure to these procedures has resulted in misuse and misinterpretation of our ap-proach to training clinicians. Direct training is vital for appropriate application of the Wilbarger approach to treating sensory defensiveness.
All participants who complete the workshops will receive certification of the completed contact hours.

Saraswatichandra 21st May written episode: The family members come to Kabir's room and insists him into seeing the girl's photo and giving his opinion. Kabir refuses it outright. He declares that he cannot share his life with anyone. He tells them to stop seeing girls and leaves the room. Laxminandan understands that the distance from family has not let Kabir feel the essence of relationships.
Vidya suggests that they should make Kabir feel the necessity of marriage. At the dinner table Kusum serves Danny's favourite dish. Vidya tells Kabir that wife takes care of the choices of a person. So, he must marry to make his life beautiful.
Laxminandan , Vidyachatur and Danny see Kabir ironing his t-shirt. When he goes to bathe, they enter his room. Laxmi crushes the t-shirt as much as he can. He thinks that he will break Kabir's confidence of being self dependant. After the bath Kabir finds that his t-shirt is full of creases. He is confused.
When Kabir comes out of his room, the elders start explaining the benefit of having a wife, who can iron his dresses in time. Kabir understands their plan. He asks about the internet connection. Kusum tells Danny that she was in a hurry and stumbled in the internet wire. So, the connection is disturbed. Danny becomes angry with Kusum and the two start fighting. Kabir smiles and leaves for his meeting.
Saras and Kumud keep fighting over the Mumbai issue. Kumud prevents Saras from entering the bedroom at night; he sleeps on a sofa. Vidya is about to rebuke Kumud. Laxminandan stops him from interfering into the matter. Saras starts packing his bag. He keeps posing like a helpless husband. He is sure that Kumud's mind will change and she will go with him.
Cute Moments With Kumud And Saras...
Kumud Keeps Saras Out Of Bedroom
Kumud is angry with Saras and she makes him sleep outside the bedroom.

The new clock architecture might eventually be used to make portable tools for calibrating frequencies of advanced telecommunications systems or providing microwave signals to boost stability and resolution in radar, navigation and scientific instruments. The technology also has potential to combine good timekeeping precision with very small size. The comb clock might be a component of future "NIST on a chip" technologies offering multiple measurement methods and standards in a portable form.
"The microcomb clock is one way we might get precision frequency metrology tools out of the lab and into real-world settings," NIST physicist Scott Diddams says.
Frequency combs produce precisely defined colors, or frequencies, of light that are evenly spaced throughout the comb's range. (The name comes from the spectrum's resemblance to the teeth of a pocket comb.) The original combs required relatively large lasers that produced rapid, extremely short pulses of light, but more recently NIST and other laboratories have developed much smaller microcombs (www.nist.gov/pml/div688/comb-102511.cfm).
A microcomb generates its set of frequencies from light that gets trapped in the periphery of a tiny silica glass disk, looping around and around the perimeter. These combs can be astonishingly stable. NIST has an ongoing collaboration in this area with Caltech researchers, who made the 2-millimeter-wide silica disk that generates the frequency comb for the new clock.
The microcomb clock uses a laser to excite the Caltech disk to generate a frequency comb, broadens the spectrum using nonlinear fiber, and stabilizes two comb teeth (individual frequencies) to energy transitions in rubidium atoms that "tick" at optical frequencies. (Conventional rubidium atomic clocks operate at much lower microwave frequencies.) The comb converts these optical frequency ticks to the microwave domain.

Duckboy Comments - Post By Leo GET Forum
6/18/12 Duckyboy: What I see in the news is pathetic. Maliki is still in power and won't be kicked out (IMO). People are being killed in Iraq by bombs. The GOI is not seated. Erbil is not implemented. Are we close to an RV??? According to most gurus, we are, but it's not the first time they have pumped us up.
The truth is that there are many issues out there that MAY point to an RV and there are MANY issues out there that point to that facts that there are economic problems all over the world that need to be resolved, starting with Greece and Spain.
Read More Link On Right
Everyone is looking for a hint from Obama's speech today to indicate an RV... Please remember that it is an election year and Obama is very loose with the truth and he will say whatever is necessarily to get re-elected. He does need this RV to happen, NOW.
It may help him with the economic mess that he has put our country in (I know there Obama supporters out there and if you want to have a debate about this, I will set it up in chatroom). So, we can assume that he has NO control on when the button is pushed or he would have done it by now.
The article that came out about OANADA (Due to the extreme volatility some market analysts foresee could result in the coming days, OANDA fxTrade will not accept any trading activity from 6:00 AM EST until approximately 3:00 PM EST, on Sunday, June 17, 2012.) can only be attributed to their business and should be NO indication of an RV.
They were not specific about what volatility there may be AND they are closing during NON trading hours. So what?! Is my only response. If traders do not like this, then they move their account to another FX board.
Shabibi will be speaking at another world conference. He is an expert. He is part of the World Community, so of course he would be invited to speak. He will not be announcing the RV, not there.
I don't believe there is going to be some grand announcement I think it will just appear.
I have been in contact with justgeorge who does have great contacts and he reports that all of these contacts are just as perplexed as we all are.
I guess what I am trying to do is show you that I am calm and not reacting to anything that comes off of any IQD board per some guru or wantabe guru. I am really looking at the news and I just don't see the RV, yet....
However, the gurus could finally have it right and we'll see an RV in the next day or two, but I'll stick to my original thought... not yet....
There are many smart people on the boards putting in their opinions. I tend to agree with those who are not calling it, but bringing in good information. Use that information to form your own opinion about when this RV will happen.

Press Release:-Stemming from an investigation by Brazilian authorities a ban has been placed locally on the sale and importation of all beef products from Brazil.
Reports indicate that the violations are limited to twenty -one (21) packers out of an industry of several thousand.
All of the brands of corn beef imported into Saint Lucia originate from Brazil so the Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Saint Lucia Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Consumer Affairs have reacted to this situation by asking that all beef products imported from Brazil should be withdrawn from the trade until the investigation by the Brazilian authorities is concluded.
Several other countries; Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad have taken similar action.
Thus, far Grace Kennedy has confirmed that none of their packers have been implicated in any wrong doing.
While the Grace brand has been cleared by its suppliers we at Peter & Company Distribution are following the directive of the government officials and we have asked our customers to remove the corn beef from the shelves and sales of corn beef have ceased until we are further advised by the respective government agencies.
Please note that these are simply precautionary measures and does not mean that Grace corn beef is unfit for consumption.
This is a very fluid situation and our government officials are erring on the side of caution to safeguard consumers. Peter & Company Distribution is cooperating fully with the government agencies who are tasked with handling this situation.
On March 21st 2017 an official statement was released by Grace Kennedy on this issue;
"Grace Kennedy can today confirm that the plants that supply corned beef to us are not under investigation by the Brazilian authorities.
We have been working non-stop over the past 48 hours to get answers in relation to this issue and can confidently state that the factories which supply corned beef to GraceKennedy Ltd are not a part of the current investigation by the Brazilian authorities.
We have reviewed the information provided by Brazil's Secretariat of Animal and Plant Health (SDA) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA) and are satisfied that corned beef is not among the items under scrutiny. Further, none of the meat plants listed by the Brazilian authorities supply corned beef to GraceKennedy Ltd.
The health and safety of consumers remain of primary importance to us. We have always and will continue to ensure that suppliers conform to internationally recognized food safety standards including, the British Retail Consortium Standard (BRC). The BRC is used by leading manufacturers across the world and sets out stringent requirements as it relates to manufacturing, food safety and quality control systems. Our corned beef suppliers in Brazil have consistently qualified for and retained the BRC standard.
We will continue to comply with the Jamaican government's temporary ban but also urge that, in light of the information now available, they apply the necessary
resources to satisfy any concerns they might still have about corned beef imports as soon as possible."
Please feel free to contact Greg Mathurin at email; email@example.com or 457 7012 should you need further information or clarification on this press release.

text: I'm not ready to get excited yet because they didn't have them in the store. I went to Saks and they didn't have Prive in black, but that's what I wanted. She said that she could get them to ship to me, probably by Saturday. These are the ones I've been really wanting and they seem hard to find now. I tried on the brown ones in 5.5 (which I usually wear) and 6. The 5.5 seemed a little snug but the 6 was too big so hopefully the 5.5 will stretch out a little. I hope they turn out to be as comfy and wonderful as people say they are since I usually don't pay so much for shoes. I've been needing a good pair of black shoes though so I have my fingers crossed that I'll love these.

Glad you went. Interesting to see the relationship between Crib Goch and the 'ring' (better term, that). The sightline is pretty striking. Furthermore, I noted that the natural outcrop in line upon Glyder Fawr's shoulder looked a bit 'Gorsedd'-like but couldn't gauge the correlation between that, the 'ring' and the Crib due to the low cloud for my visit.
As you say there can be no doubt the ring was erected by people. It also occupies a ridiculous place for a 'folly', so ludicrous as for that option to be credibly discounted, I would suggest? Which leaves the question of what practical purpose did it serve, given its dimensions and the fagility of the uprights? I mentioned a 'cockpit' before. But the ground is so waterlogged.... and has no doubt been so to varying degrees for millennia due to run-off... that surely not? You would need to use water fowl! Neo-pagans might have chosen such a site for its obscurity, but of course there are far more obscure locations roundabouts than just below a couple of Snowdonia's 3000-ers, not that far from Thomas Firbank's famous old farm. Oh, come on! There is, of course, another possibility........
It may seem incredible for a prehistoric site to be 'missing' for so long... but did you two not walk right by as well as I? All three of us eyes peeled and wandering in an area no walker would have any cause to be in? In fact would actively avoid. So perhaps this is not as unlikely as it may have first appeared? Frauds must be highlighted.... however pending evidence to the contrary I must say I'm reasonably convinced this is what it says on the tin.

I agree with all of that. Even the lack of circularity is hardly unique. The most compelling argument for me is that there is so little in the way of other possible explanations for what it could be.
Personally, I think the water levels are telling, the OS 1/25000 shows it in a little lake, but various other editions do not. Until the 2000s, the largest scale that OS surveyed mountains and moorlands at was 1/10000, rather than 1/2500 (rural) and 1/1250 (urban) survey scales used throughout the less undeveloped parts of the country. This reflected that (a) there was little demand for a larger scale in the these areas, as no-one was building/planning/defining extents of ownership for farming reasons etc and (b) the relative inaccessibility for OS surveyors. In fact, quite a lot of the National Grid (metric) system that replaced the old "County Series" (imperial) mapping was done without new surveys or by using aerial surveying techniques only. This isn't to denigrate the incredible efforts of the OS, who carried out an astonishingly detailed survey that is still the envy of pretty much the rest of the world. But it acknowledges the reality that in a place like this, there isn't much to actually survey as such, especially for the cost of hoiking equipment across a bog, etc.
I also agree with you, that the most likely explanation is that it's a tiny site built from tiny stones in the middle of a largely unsurveyed wilderness, away from any paths and very waterlogged (if not sometimes actually under water). It's only because RCAHMW are carrying out the detailed upland surveys of recent years that we are getting this stuff noted now.
I can't hand-on-heart say it's definitely a prehistoric circle, but it seems to me more likely than not, in the absence of a better explanation at the present time.

The trial of Joseph Lester, which kicked off this morning in Pierce County Superior Court, won't be about whether Lester stabbed his pregnant girlfriend to death in 2011. The question for jurors will be why.
Lester, 25, admits he killed Keisha Lewis outside a University Place duplex on Halloween evening.
Deputy prosecutors James Curtis and Angelica Williams said it was premeditated first-degree murder, a bloody culmination of a tumultuous relationship that included allegations of domestic violence on both sides. They've also filed an alternative charge of felony murder, saying Lester was committing the crime of assault against Lewis but she died as a result. They also contend he killed her within sight and sound of her two minor children.
Defense attorneys Curtis Huff and Dino Sepe contend Lester couldn't form the intent to kill Lewis because he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. They also say he killed Lewis in self-defense after she confronted him with a knife.
During his opening statement, Curtis painted a chilling picture of Lewis' last minutes alive, including her screams for help after Lester stabbed her multiple times in the front yard of a duplex in the 6000 block of 57th Avenue West of University Place.
"'He's killing me! He's killing me,'" Curtis said. "That's what Keisha Lewis screamed after the defendant, Joseph Lester, stabbed her in the hand, in the arm, in the shoulder, in the chest, in her throat and in the back of her head."
Curtis went on to describe how Lewis, 21, ran inside her home and bled to death in front of those closest to her: the woman who raised her as her own, her best friend and her 2-year-old son. The stabbing also occurred within sight of Lester's car, where the couple's nine-month-old daughter was strapped in a car seat, the deputy prosecutor said.
"Keisha Lewis didn't have much, but she had a life and the defendant took it," Curtis said.
Defense attorney Curtis Huff said his client acted out of fear that day.
"This is a case about fear, fear stemming from multiple acts of violence that my client has suffered over the years," Huff said during his opening statement. "These acts of violence serve as a basis for a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder."
Huff pointed out that Lewis stabbed Lester during a fight about three weeks before her death, severing an artery in his calf. The night she died, Lewis again confronted Lester with a knife, he said.
"The evidence will show he feared for his life," Huff said.
Lester is expected to testify on his own behalf when the defense presents its case later this month.

So in my last two posts, I mentioned that I'd be talking about some delicious chocolate desserts that we had to make for practical. Instead of just covering the one lesson that I'd intended to talk about, I decided to combine the two lessons into one post, since they were both on chocolate & very delicious (also cos if I keep updating it post by post, I'll end up being quite behind oopsie).
Lesson 5
Translated, the choux craquant au chocolat noir is a dark chocolate craquelin choux (basically a dark chocolate choux pastry with a craquelin layer – the craquant is that bumpy thing you see on top). For this lesson, Chef demonstrated this dessert and the religious nuns – another choux dessert but filled with caramel cream instead of chocolate ones. Pictorially, the religious nuns looked more complex and challenging to make. Taste-wise, however, I must say that the chocolate choux was way better, making me glad after tasting the two desserts that we were making the latter.
We had Chef Olivier for practical. He started off by warning us that two groups that'd made the dessert in the morning were unable to complete their desserts within the 3 hours. This made all of us pretty worried – the choux seemed really simple during demo – how could it be that bad?
Alas, when practical started, I began to understand why we were so time-pressed. For starters, Chef had instructed all of us to do all the components individually, rather than in pairs. Because the quantities were so small, it might little sense for us to use mixer either –> more time spent on making & more work for each of us. There are also so many components to this dessert – the choux, the choc pastry cream, the craquelin, a lovely hazelnut praline chocolate insert and the glaze.
At the end of class, Chef informed us that we were his first class to finish everything on time, with 5 minutes to spare. Was pretty proud of my group for this feat & glad that everything turned out well.
This is probably one of my favourite desserts thus far & I'm glad that I managed to give some of these away to people I met over the weekend 🙂
Lesson 6
From Day 1, I'd been counting down the days till I'd have to make the elusive Opéra. I recall that back in Basic in 2013, Intermediate students would come out of the Opéra demos with their aprons all stained with chocolate & warning us that the cake was one that we wouldn't want to mess with.
I braced myself for the demo and told myself that everything would be all right. Chef showed us how the entire cake was done, skillfully and effortlessly putting together the layers. He made it all seem so simple and manageable that I left the demo room feeling less nervous than when I'd stepped in.
We got Chef Jean Jacques for this practical, which was kind of a relief to me because he's generally more chill (i.e. less pressurizing during prac class, especially for a cake like this which requires intense concentration, in my opinion). The whole practical was fine, less my buttercream. I ended up having not enough cream for the two layers (you can see from my pics that I have only have one visible layer of buttercream oops) and needed chef's help to spread the top layer 🙁 Thankfully we covered the cake with a layer of chocolate glaze, hiding the defect of my cake. Really wondering why I keep having issues with creams this set :/
The wording "Opéra" on the top of the cake is a traditional style of décor that was used when the cake was first created. So even though none of us find it attractive, we all had to pipe it out. Furthermore, the writing of the word "Opéra" is going to be tested for the Intermediate set's technical component :S
I loved the taste of this cake and am glad I managed to share the cake with others (Charlie, Robyn & Sarah and Mena Jie's family). Albeit challenging, this cake is definitely manageable and just requires a calm state of mind to complete 🙂
Well I've come to the end of this super long post – stay tuned for the next dessert + a snippet of my weekend to London for CNY!

Your Letters
Host Linda Wertheimer reads listeners' comments.
LINDA WERTHEIMER, host: Time now for your letters. Last week, WEEKEND EDITION food commentator Bonny Wolf reported that diners are enjoying meals that are about as local as they can get - meals served on the farm with the farmers who grew the food. Dick Schwartz from Seattle, Washington, emailed us saying it amounts to, quote, "snobbery." He writes: To suggest that farm meals costing over $100 per person are a mechanism for connecting people with locally grown food is preposterous in the extreme.
But Karen Steinwachs from Santa Barbara, California works on a farm that hosts such dinners and she says they help showcase the fruits of their labor. She posted on our website: The price is $100 per person, but that includes the meal, all the wine and a musician. She says it's hard to break even with the cost of raising food. And she notes there's the chef, the servers and the linen rentals to pay for.
And for Rosalinda Arismendez from Austin, Texas, the farm to fork movement is old news. She emailed: I remember Christmas at my grandfather's place, his hacienda in Mexico. The pig would be killed the day before, women would begin the dough from scratch for the tamales, fresh tortillas, even the pig's blood was not wasted.
My interview with sommelier Paul Grieco about Rieslings also generated some buzz. Jake Romero posted on our web site: Twenty-six smackers for your entry level price point, that's kind of high. I would have liked to see a recommendation in the $6 to 12 range. It's a modern economy after all.
It's almost as if Dan Joel from Burbank, California read his mind. He emailed: Let me recommend a wonderful Riesling by J.W. Morris, a 2010 California Riesling at, dare I say it, $3.99 at Trader Joe's.
Finally, some listeners took issue with a remark I made while interviewing Norwegian reporter Goran Skaalmo. I said I was reminded of the American writer Ayn Rand, in that the alleged gunman talks in his manifesto about the government being too soft, too politically afraid to draw the kind of nationalist lines that he calls for. George Hannigan from Jersey City, New Jersey emailed: The comment completely misrepresented Rand's writings and philosophy and causes me to seriously doubt Ms. Wertheimer's objectivity.
But someone posting under the name Surf Cow wrote on our website: I think the comparison is perfectly valid. Objectivism uses rational self-interest to redefine moral standards.

Photoshop Touch for iPad – Part 2
Picking up from Part 1 of our Photoshop Touch tutorial (where I covered the organization of the UI, basic layering and selection options, basic tool options, and a simple layered workflow for improving photos), let's take a look at a few of the ways Photoshop Touch allows us to apply more creative effects to our photos! We'll do this by opening an image from Creative Cloud storage, modifying it, then save it directly to our iPad so it's available the next time we use Photoshop Touch. This tutorial covers Photoshop Touch Adjustments, Effects, and additional tips for managing layers.

text: One of the latest strong rumors is that our beloved Fred is getting ready to move Express Heavyweight over to FedEx Freight. This would allow them to eliminate a lot of senior, topped-out employees (RTDs) and reduce labor charges at the ramp. I'm not sure how The Evil One plans on getting around the RLA problem. Heavyweight freight might possibly be transported and processed at a Freight location, or he might have something else in mind. FedEx Freight is covered under the NLRA, but drivers are non-union. Either way, another move to gut Express is possibly in the works, and although HWT drivers make up a small proportion of the overall work force, that would mean lots of very senior displaced RTDs competing for the few jobs that will be available. Thanks again, Fred!

What Makes Emerging Market Debt Tick? (CFA Institute)
A recent CFA Institute post noted that emerging market debt has been gaining popularity as a fixed-income asset class in recent years. To begin with, the post pointed out that the emerging market debt asset class consists of the following types of bonds:
- Sovereign debt issued in major currencies, mostly the US dollar
- Sovereign debt in local currencies, and
- Corporate debt in major currencies, mostly the US dollar.
The first emerging market bonds were US dollar–denominated sovereign debt that came into existence as a way for lenders to recoup some of their defaulting loans to Latin American countries in the late 1980s as part of the Brady Plan (named after then US Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady who led the initial negotiations). Being US dollar-based, the bonds trade off the US Treasury yield curve as a "spread product" with a return that should offer investors additional compensation over US Treasuries for the extra risk involved.
Local currency sovereign debt issuance has since grew much faster than US dollar–denominated sovereign debt. In addition to country risks, local currency sovereign bonds are also exposed to currency risks while the additional risk with US dollar–denominated corporate debt is corporate credit risk.
The post concluded by summarizing the factors that make emerging market debt tick are:
- Country risk, mostly driven by fiscal conditions, e.g. internal balances as it is often known,
- Currency risk, driven by balance of payments or external balances and the resulting reserve positions, and
- Corporate credit risk, e.g. company balance sheets.

Foundry Worker
Help shape and transport molten metal.
What does a Foundry Worker do?
A foundry has one main goal: to melt metal into liquid and make it take on a new shape. A Foundry Worker is involved in some, many, or all of the steps required to achieve this goal. When you're a Foundry Worker, some employers may ask you to focus on one particular task, while others may require you to do every task available.
To achieve your goal as a Foundry Worker, you first heat the furnace and load it with solid metal. While that metal melts, you spray the molds you'll use so they have a non-stick surface. You try not to think of muffin pans or bread tins as you do this step so you won't be hungry long before lunchtime.
You then pour the melted metal into the molds and allow it to dry. Afterwards, you remove the items from the molds and sand off rough edges. You clean the molds with soap and a wire brush to prepare them for the next project, and sweep your work area so you won't trip on any debris that's landed on the floor.
You may be employed by an old-fashioned factory where you do your work by hand. Or you may work for a large company where a big part of the process is automated, and you're mainly responsible for programming the machines properly and installing the right molds at the right time. While these machines save you time when they're working properly, you must also know how to repair them when they break-and making those repairs can take you quite a bit of time.

Mumbai, Feb. 10 -- Of late, Bollywood stars have been spotted taking a keen interest in art. So while Sonakshi Sinha inaugurated Neeraj Goswami's show earlier this month, other stars were seen at Sharman Joshi's wife Prerana's art show recently.
And the trend isn't restricted to Mumbai only. At the sixth edition of the India Art Fair in Delhi, Sonam Kapoor, a keen art lover, was spotted with veteran artist Sakti Burman. Even Sussanne Roshan was seen at the fair.
Sonam, who has purchased works by Burman in the past, is not the only one from Bollywood who seems to be interested in the growing Indian art market. A number of celebs have been buying art - some as investment, some for the love of it. While Shah Rukh Khan has works of MF Husain and Bose Krishnamachari in his house, Madhuri Dixit also owns some Husains. His paintings are often seen as a backdrop in the pictures she tweets.
Another art lover in Bollywood is Raveena Tandon. "I buy art for the love of it and not as an investment. I source my works from galleries in Mumbai and Kolkata," says Raveena. She has works of artists like Paresh Maity, Burman and Thota Vaikuntam.
And it's not just actors, even designer Manish Malhotra, who also visited the fair, says, "I was very impressed by the works at the art fair. When I shifted into my new house five years ago, I got a lot of Sunil Padwal and Chintan Upadhyay and invested in works of (SH) Raza too."
Gallery owners also agree that the trend of actors buying art is catching up. "There is a growing interest in Bollywood towards Indian art. Sonam took a keen interest in some of the works displayed at our booth," says Delhi-based gallery owner, Sunaina Anand, adding, "Gauri Khan (Shah Rukh's wife) has also visited the gallery, and Mani Ratnam (director) bought a Vaikuntam canvas from us sometime back."
Some, like Salman Khan, even love creating art. The actor paints and often gifts his works to family and friends. For his recently released movie, Jai Ho, he painted the first poster himself. Salman worked on a mixed medium to create the poster, which was later digitally reproduced.

Catch HBO Documentary 'Superheroes' Tonight at 9pm
Catch HBO Documentary 'Superheroes' Tonight at 9pm
by Andrew
Posted on August 8, 2011
Like many people, I have wondered what kind of super hero I would be if the opportunity presented itself. However there are people that take it past a fantasy and make it into a part of their everyday lives. Real Life Superheros (RLSH) is a national phenomenon comprised of hundreds of men and women who have superhero alter-egos. HBO takes a real life look into the lives of men and women that patrol city streets with the goal of preventing violent crimes and taking the law into their own hands. The Documentary gives you a look into the life of these six people: > "Mr. Xtreme," is the founder and sole member of the Xtreme Justice League (XJL). He is an Asian American in his mid thirties that lives in San Diego, in a disheveled apartment that he calls "The Extreme Cave." He passes out flyers of recruitment to passersby on the street, hoping to find others who will join his "Xtreme Justice League." He says he won't quit until there is no more violent crime. >"Zimmer" is an openly gay RLSH member who is 20- something and lives in Brooklyn. He lives with three other RLSH members and together they form the "New York Initiative." From their apartment, Zimmer and his crew launch what they call "bait" missions to intercept a criminal act. >"Master Legend" is a 40-something man living in Orlando, and said that he developed his alter ego when he was eight. Today he patrols the streets in a black-and-silver costume, complete with cape and mask. He is the founder of "Team Justice" which is the only RLSH group in the U.S. with non-profit status. >"Life" whose real name Chaim means "life" in Hebrew, a New Yorker that while on patrol hands out T-shirts, socks and kind words to the homeless. He said he does this, "so they know that someone cares and they are not forgotten." >"Apocalypse Meow" who wasn't aware that her husband was a member of the RLSH when they met, and when he refused to quit, she decided to join forces with him. Together they hand out "Zeta Packs" to the homeless in their hometown of Portland, Oregon. The packs which the couple pays for completely out of pocket, cost $20 each to make, contain essentials for living on the street, including toilet paper, food items and hand sanitizer. At first glance these eccentric individuals may seem out of their minds, but 'Superheroes' shows you that, at the very least, their shared goal of preventing violent crime and bringing peace to the streets is admirable. As Mr. Xtreme says, it's "What's in your heart and what you do. That's what makes you a superhero." To add HBO to your programming list visit us online at Dish Systems or call (866)989-3474. What type of Super Hero did you want to be growing up?

Tristram Hunt
Beer In England
Beer is good for you or not as the case maybe. The Times tells us something about its historical position. A canting rogue called Donaldson is being a pain regarding booze. He got away with it in re tobacco. The Wiki does a good backgrounder on Hogarth's prints at Beer Street and Gin Lane
From Alcohol - Always Works With The Grain of History
Alcohol: always works with the grain of history
Where we drink may prove to be as important as what we drink. The pub should return to the centre of public life
Tristram Hunt
Another day, another bid to roll back binge-drink Britain. This time the campaign is led by the Chief Medical Officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, with plans for a new minimum price on alcohol. With the big supermarkets in his sights (where water is more expensive than beer), Donaldson wants a ban on drinks being sold for less than 50p per alcoholic unit. But how much we drink is not nearly so important a question now as where we drink.
Of course, the CMO is not the first to notice our alcoholic ardour. As early as the 8th century, the missionary St Boniface was writing to Cuthbert, Archbishop of Canterbury, to report how "in your dioceses the vice of drunkenness is too frequent. This is an evil peculiar to pagans and to our race. Neither the Franks nor the Gauls nor the Lombards nor the Romans nor the Greeks commit it."
In centuries to come, the figure of John Bull, complete with roast beef and a flagon of ale became a national caricature, just as G.K. Chesterton wrote lovingly of "the rolling English drunkard [who] made the rolling English road". And at every turn, government has attempted to clamp down on such exuberance. The years preceding the English Civil War marked the ale-house at the centre of a cultural struggle between Cavaliers and Roundheads.
Puritans hoping for a "reformation of manners" sought again and again to outlaw excess drinking - not to promote "healthy living", but to save the drunken soul and neuter the pub's capacity for sowing disorder.
"What I pray you, do you make it so great a matter if a man be a little overtaken with drink now and then?' an hospitable Essex parishioner pleaded with the godly Arthur Dent. "There is no man but he hath his faults: and the best of us may be amended." None of which cut much ice with the busybody Saints of the English Commonwealth.
But they didn't have to contend with "Mother's Ruin". In 1742 a population barely one tenth our size consumed about 19 million gallons of gin - ten times as much as is drunk today and far more lethal than any alcopop. The Government intervened early with the Gin Act, hoping to ban the hooch, but it did no good. Fifteen years later, William Hogarth's Gin Lane was depicting the spirit's lethal consequences - passed into the milk of babies through their drunken nurses - with its allegorical litany of debauchery, criminality and progressive immiseration.
Gin Lane was located in the heart of London, and the dangers of heavy drinking have long been linked with the stresses of urban culture. The Industrial Revolution of the early 1800s endowed not only a new generation of cities, but also a new culture of drinking, in which the surest route out of the poverty and monotony of factory life was through the bottle. Easily recognisable as the forerunners of today's super-pubs, the gas-lit and gilt-mirrored world of the 1820s "gin palace" resembled alcoholic assembly lines with no furniture and no food, just a long bar surrounded by gin barrels spurring a quick necking of the neat stuff.
Rather than prohibition, the Government's response this time was to champion the virtue of beer as a more honest and patriotic refreshment (the healthy effects of which Hogarth celebrated in Beer Street). The 1830 Beer Act opened up beer drinking to the masses by allowing any householder with a cheap licence to sell ale and porter. In 1840s Manchester, Friedrich Engels estimated there were "more than a thousand public-houses" and in Glasgow one house in every ten was a public house.
"The public house is for the operative, what the public square was for the ancients," reported the French journalist Leon Faucher. With far more space than in their tiny lodging rooms, the public sphere of the ale- house offered the labouring classes a forum for sociability, civic interaction, employment, even politics. By the mid-1870s alcohol consumption reached its peak, with an average of 344 gallons of beer consumed per individual per year.
And again the State sought to clamp down. The Temperance Movement won a series of legislative successes limiting Sunday drinking, closing down music halls and forcing councils to restrict licences. Lloyd George only accelerated the trend by curtailing opening hours during the First World War after announcing that: "Drink is doing us more damage than all the German submarines put together." By the 1930s an almost preindustrial cycle of urban drinking had resurfaced with heavy consumption generally limited to festivals and holidays.
Today such restraint is a fond memory. Under 24-hour drinking laws and endless "2 for 1"offers, provincial town-centres have become vomitous no-go areas, while the NHS processes about 400,000 people each year with drink-related problems. But the worst of it is the cynical subsidising of liver cirrhosis by the supermarkets using their phenomenal buying power to undercut the pubs and clubs.
For some 500 years now, alehouses have played a pivotal role within British public life. But now pubs are closing at the rate of 40 a week and we are haplessly bearing witness to an extraordinary process of cultural self-immolation. Around the corner from me, in Hornsey, North London, the Earl of Shaftesbury has recently shut its doors and, with it, not just a community drinking-hole but a deeper civic connection to a sense of place and past. Sir Liam Donaldson is not a little to blame for this: his ban on smoking in public places has driven drinking back into the home, where social safeguards are absent.
So what we really want from the Chief Medical Officer is not a one-size-fits-all tax on alcohol (which the Government is already suggesting it will not support) but specific policies to encourage more people to drink more beer in more pubs. That is called working with the grain, or yeast, of history.
Tristram Hunt is a historian. His biography of Friedrich Engels is published on May 1

Re: Origins of the Morell family name
In reply to:
Re: Origins of the Morell family name
Michael Higgins 1/12/01
Hi Michael Higgens:
I have learned a lot since I last wrote. I have received more family information that shows my Morell/Murrell/Morell ancestors who came from Dumfrieshire Scotland in 1792 to Northern Ireland. The surname was changed from Morell to Murrell in 1895 after my G6 grandfather Samuel Morell married Mary Katherine Connolly. They expanded their family in a town that was called Ballyquin off Ballyquin Road near Limvady (town of Ballyquin no longer exists). They migrated to Lisachrin and eventually to Moneydig where my G2 Grandfather Samuel Morell was born. The family were all Presbyterian Religion except for my G6 grandfather whom I am not sure if he was Calvinist or Presbyterian.
Now for the interesting part. I had my Y-DNA tested by Family Tree DNA for 69 markers and the latest deep clade R testing. I tested positive for bothe U106 and L48 Haplogroups. These groups are Frisian (Northern Germanic Tribe) descent back to 3200 BC and before. They were initially from Frisia which included the Netherlands, Northwestern part of Germany between the Alps and North Sea, and Southwest tip of Denmark. Largest concentrations of my DNA Haplogroup is from Netherlands, North Eastern England, Scotland, and some in Ulster. My G2 Grandfather and two of his sisters out of a family of twelve sibblings migrated to Philadelphia PA in the 1840s.
I believe it was about 700 AD a small fraction of frisians joined the Chalkens (Another Germanic Tribe) and they migrated into what is now called France and they were called the Franks. Morel was a popular name in the Normandy and Britania area of France.
Just some more interesting input. Above two paragraphs based on Family History, DNA, and History in General.
Bill Morell

Award – Best Game in Its Respective Series (Given Time and Distance)
Mass Effect 3 is the best game in the series. There, I said it.
Gone are the elevators, cookie cutter outposts, and clunky inventory management of the first game. Gone is the never-ending mineral scanning of the second game. Still present are the phenomenal story and immersion. Add to that tight, responsive combat and what you're left with is the role-playing game that thinks it's a third-person shooter. So much has been made of the various controversies of Mass Effect, and in particular the conclusion of the trilogy, that people tend to forget just how good the game itself is.
During the first two games, Shepard spent most of his energy warning people of the coming Reaper invasion, only to be met with skepticism and indifference. Now everyone sees that he was right all along. It's up to Shepard to unite the largest fighting force the galaxy has ever seen to battle the greatest threat they've ever faced. No pressure, huh?
Mass Effect 3 is one of the few games I've played that actually lives up to the scale it wants to portray. This is clear from the get-go in an opening that rivals and almost eclipses the beginning to Mass Effect 2. There are no random fetch quests without any relation to the main story. There is no grinding, waiting for Shepard to become the soldier he was in the previous games. Visuals, controls, and sound design work together in such a way that you are very seldom reminded that you're playing a game: you are in the story. You are commander Shepard. On more than a few occasions I ended up playing longer than I'd intended because the game drew me into its sense of urgency; I felt like the galaxy really did depend on what my Shepard did.
The burning question on your mind at this point is probably this: did the ending ruin the game? I'd have to say no, but then again the first time I played through it I didn't see the ending most people did. My Shepard didn't capitulate to anyone, and he wasn't about to start at the conclusion of the series. (When given a choice between A, B, or C, I chose to do what my Shepard always did: start shooting)
What sticks with me now, eight months after finishing the game, is that the strengths of Mass Effect is and always was its characters. Commander Shepard, and by extension the galaxy, was on a mission, but so was everyone who journeyed with him. Garrus, Tali, Wrex, Mordin, Grunt, and Legion have earned a fond place in my memories with many other characters from books and movies I've read over the years. They aren't cookie-cutter plot devices that are a means to an end, they feel like living-breathing people that rely on you, and you on them, to save the galaxy. Being a part of their victories is an emotional high, and seeing their lows genuinely tugs at your heartstrings. Mass Effect 3 isn't a game where everyone survives war and goes home to live peace; everyone carries a wound, and that's what sets it apart.
At the end of it all I'd say that Mass Effect was never about winning the war, it was about how well you fought the battle.

For their study, which has been accepted for future publication in the journal Menopause, the research team found that curcumin delayed the first appearance of progestin-accelerated tumors in lab animal experiments. The spice also decreased the incidence and reduced the numbers of progestin-fueled breast tumors in the animal studies. In fact, curcumin prevented the appearance of gross morphological abnormalities in the animals' mammary glands.
In previous studies, University of Missouri researchers showed that progestin caused the accelerated development of certain tumors because the hormone increases production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is known to spur the supply of blood to cancerous tumors, making them grow more quickly. Hyder explained in the media statement that curcumin has been found to inhibit progestin-induced secretion of VEGF from breast cancer cells. So, by blocking the production of VEGF, the proliferation of breast cancer cells should be reduced .
"Curcumin and other potential anti-angiogenic compounds should be tested further as dietary chemopreventive agents in women already exposed to hormone replacement therapy containing estrogen and progestin in an effort to decrease or delay the risk of breast cancer associated with combined hormone replacement therapy," Hyder said.
According to the American Cancer Society, using HRT which combines estrogen with progestin for several years increases not only the risk of developing breast cancer but also the chances of dying from the disease. HRT containing both hormones makes breasts more dense and raises the risk the cancer may be found at a more advanced stage.

Mesh Movement - (ALE) Equations
I want to redesign the geometry of a compressor blade using CFX 12.1 and I know that I will need mesh movement during the process. I have my Fortran code to account for this deformation however, question is that, I have used Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eularian (ALE) method in my code and I want to know whether CFX , for performing mesh deformation, is in conformity with ALE equations and gives correct results or not? I couldn't find anything in this regard within tutorial or user manual guides. I would be grateful if anybody ,who has a similar experience, answer my question.
Thanks in advance,
CFX does not care what method you use to set the location of the mesh nodes, the only important parameter is the locations themselves. The quality of the resolution of the motion (eg motion smoothly defined, no jumps, sudden starts or stops) is the only thing which counts.

Jobs are the No. 1 key to stopping the revolving door from city streets to jails and prisons, community leaders said this year during the anti-crime Jacksonville Journey.
Now, City Hall is taking the first step toward leading on the issue.
A bill introduced in the City Council last week would place an emphasis on hiring ex-offenders and would ask companies with big city contracts to do the same.
Any company with a contract of more than $100,000 would need to provide the city with a monthly report on how many ex-offenders have been considered or hired for jobs and explain the reasons people were not hired. Contractors cannot be penalized for not hiring ex-offenders, but the city can withhold payments if businesses do not provide the proper documentation, according to the proposal.
Councilman Kevin Hyde, who introduced the bill, said it could be approved by the end of the year.
"If we are saying this is a tool we think will help public safety, the city ought to do its part," Hyde said.
About 57,000 people will filter through jails and prisons into Jacksonville this year.
Statistics show about 70 percent will find their way right back in the system.
The city does a background check on all potential employees but does not specifically exclude people who have been convicted of a crime, said Chad Poppell, the city's chief of human resources.
Each case is different and the city looks at the type of job the person is seeking, what they were convicted for and how long ago it was, Poppell said.
He said he did not know how many city employees have a criminal record and would be meeting with Hyde soon to go over details of the proposal.
Hyde stresses the bill does not have quotas, nor does it require a certain percentage of the workforce to be former criminals, it just would not make a conviction that doesn't directly apply to the job a disqualifier. Law enforcement jobs are excluded.
If city contractors balk at the new requirements, Hyde said, they don't have to do business with the city. Given the current economy, he doubts businesses would pass on city work just because of the new law, if it is passed.
The city's commitment to this issue will help public safety and help businesses who need quality employees, said Kevin Gay, founder and president of Operation New Hope.
Gay's organization also runs Ready4Work, a partnership that screens, trains and provides counseling services for ex-offenders and matches them up with potential employers. Ready4Work has placed about 180 to 200 former offenders in jobs each year and puts applicants through two to five weeks of classes to gauge their commitment and make sure they're ready for the workforce.
Gay says his group helps take the gamble out for employers, which is what companies want.
Allied Plastics Co., a Springfield commercial table manufacturer, has hired about 30 ex-offenders through Ready4Work in the last few years, said Rick Uhrie, Allied's vice president of operations.
The company hires seasonal workers during the spring and summer and used to bring in about 200 people to add 30 or 40 people because workers either don't show or come in late. Now, it's down to about 50 or 60 for those same positions, Uhrie said. "Quite honestly, we wouldn't do it if it didn't work," he said.
Gay knows there's a small window and considers his organization a company getting a product ready for market. And he knows there's plenty of people waiting to say they knew hiring ex-cons wouldn't work.
"The answer to crime prevention isn't more policemen," Uhrie said. "I think this is part of the solution."

Hollywood's taking a stroll down memory lane. THR reports that your fave library book series from way back when, Encyclopedia Brown, is being developed for the big screen.
Just in case you weren't a bookworm as a child, the book centers on Leroy Brown, whose nickname is Encyclopedia because he's so smart. He sets up a detective agency out of his garage, charging a mere 25 cents a day. Leroy and his best friend and 'bodyguard' Sally Kimball have to pit their wits against the local bully, the wonderfully named Bugs Meaney in order to solve crimes. Luckily Leroy's got a cop for a dad, so he's always able to ask for a little help with honing his sleuthing know-how.
This isn't actually the first time the entertainment biz has dabbled with bringing the series to life. HBO once screened a short lived TV series based on Encyclopedia Brown:
In Hollywood, names like , Blade Runner's , SNL's and have all considered making it, but somehow Encyclopedia Brown never came to fruition. It looks far more likely that this time will work out, since it's got big name (The Departed, The Woman in Black, Bates Motel) producing alongside Howard David Deutsch.
Is this just another cynical attempt by Hollywood to cash in on nostalgia? Or will it mean a breath of fresh air for a kids' market dominated by animation flicks? Drop me a line below and let me know your thoughts.

Why the Galaxy S7 Edge is the ultimate smartphone
Let's not dance around the shark pool. The truth – a truth many tech writers have already acknowledged – is that Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge is the ultimate smartphone. It's not perfect, but it's the closest thing to it right now. And why is that, you might ask? Let's dive in and investigate.
A new hero
A few months ago I wrote that the Nexus 6P, in all its metallic glory, was the ultimate smartphone. At the time it was something of a minor miracle. But times change, and so does Android.
It was inevitable that a new phone would come along and upset the balance. While the Galaxy S7 Edge is no game changer, it's the best phone on the market right now. But it didn't just tick more boxes than every other phone. It stole the limelight and continues to surprise me for a different reason each time I come back to it.
The S7 Edge is for the discerning Android user. It's not cheap, though, at around $750 or more. Buyers of the new Edge really want one, rather than simply needing a new phone. It does more than make calls and load Google Chrome. I think it encapsulates years of engineering and design learning at Samsung HQ. It's the Korean manufacturer's most complete design expression to date.
Sales success
I won't jump straight into the specs and features. We've covered them extensively in our review. But I will point out how the Edge (and also the regular S7) has sold well, proving that Samsung has landed on the winning formula that it had aimed for last year, but with limited success.
Samsung achieved a large market share bump in Q1 of this year. According to a recent report from TrendForce, Samsung had a 5.6-percent growth in market share over the previous quarter. TrendForce suggested that the S7 and S7 Edge were the main cause of the boost, with overall shipments up 2.5 percent over the same period.
Interestingly, all of the manufacturers listed in the report had little change in market share. Except Apple, that is. The iPhone manufacturer suffered a 6.5-percent drop in market share. Whether this was connected to Samsung's growth or not is up for speculation, but I'd wager that more than a few Apple customers have now become Galaxy S7 Edge owners.
Art of refinement
The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are both exercises in refinement. Samsung has stuck to the recipe it used with last year's S6 devices but made minor improvements to what was already a good foundation.
With an improved TouchWiz design - with options to customize app icons and remove the app drawer - a 40 percent larger battery than the S6 Edge, a microSD slot and IP68 water resistance, there are many small but useful additions. There are also more customization options for the Edge display, making what could be two aesthetically pleasing, but otherwise useless, edges offer a better user experience.
It's the small details that make the S7 Edge the ultimate smartphone. The attention to detail shows Samsung's willingness to give customers what they ask for. And when you own one, it shows others in the community that you take the Android experience just as seriously.
Do you think the Galaxy S7 Edge is the ultimate smartphone? Let me know in the comments.
23 comments
As I was reading all the comments I was a little surprised to see all the support for the Note 4 but in total agreement as well. I have the Note 4 Edge and the S7 Edge. I love the Note 4 Edge side screen and the edges on the S7 are about useless as the screen blurs when you want to use it so I removed all data from The Edge and went to a third-party Edge called swiftly switch and it works much better.
I am in total agreement that the processor, chipset and Camera are better on the S7 but I don't think I should have had to give up the FM radio, the IR blaster, the 3D rotation of the home screens, the functionality of a good Edge, and the ability to replace my battery as well as have a removable cover on the back that makes it more easy to install a micro SD card and a lot less fragile.
I like the fact that the S7 is water resistant but I think that they could build a water resistant rubberized casket into a removable back cover.
All that said, I'm still pretty much on the fence as I keep switching back enforce from one to the other I just feel for everything I gained there was something I lost. So to Crown the S7 the ultimate, I think not. It is lacking in too many features my Galaxy S4 is already had.
Omar I think you've made valid points for a fair argument. The S7 Edge is polished sophisticated feature rich, packed with power and a camera to rival the iPhone. At present I doubt if any other Android phone checks as many tick boxes as does the S7 Edge for the complete mobile experience. Micro SD IP certification and the VR experience as well. A real Samsung winner.
in belgium this phone starts at 699 euro or More . after 6 months you van buy it at 525 or less ! then you Have that touchwiz s... and its like buying a computer with No updates or you get them when All the rest already Have them. All this for a 699 euro phone ??
i got the Nexus 6p and in my Mind this is the best phone you van buy . but this is my opinion .
I have had the last week with my new galaxy s7 edge and I love this phone so much. I have already recommended this phone to everyone I know. It's super fast sleek, not very heavy at all, the camera is quick and the pics are amazingly clear. I have owned a s3 s5 and now a s7 edge. This is by far my favorite model. Galaxy for life girl!! 💖
I knew I wanted a S7Edge when my S5 died but really did not understand why. Now I do It is so intuitive and beautiful and if one can love an inanimate object, I love my S7Edge. It surprises me everyday with a new feature I didn't know existed.
I agree. =P
And I forgot about the traditional Amoled screen which seems to me way less natural eventhough the G5 has worse color temp. The Amoled colors just pop out and are too oversaturated!
I don't really get the hype with the S7s. I prefer the the design way better of the G5 and the Mi5, although wish the latter didn't use the look alike Samsung button on the bottom. Anyways performance-wise they are pretty much on par. G5 lacks battery capacity, but it's easily replaceable. Camera from what I've seen is best on G5, especially in low light. So are people so enthusiastic about the Touchwiz or what is it about the sparkling, shiny S7s??????????
I will never ignore the Innovation from Samsung, however the main reasons I never invested in any of their Android Smartphones are:
TouchWiz (hate it)
Center Button (hate it)
Unlocked price (I'm not paying over $300)
Thank you for writing an exceptional article :)
Samsung S7 is ruling the Internet we see great news and reviews and Giveaways of the Phone all over internet,I think it can win the Phone of year award for 2016.
Superb! After Reading This Cool Article About S7, Soon I'm Gonna Buy It. :)
The S7 edge is the ultimate smartphone. Best phone ever make! Came from a Note 4 and the Note is 2nd best smartphone made.
The regular galaxy S7 is AMAZING!! Really pisses me of I can't root it though! SOB!
Am not a Samsung fan , but i have to say... I think Galaxy note 4 and 5 deserves the title 'ultimate smartphone'
If a rich guy owns the S7 edge and uses it the same way as an iPhone, then that guy is not taking Android seriously, so you're wrong here.
The S7 is an amazing phone, amazing CPU, Camera, Battery, Chipset. But I'd hardly call it "The Ultimate Phone" especially with the new Xaiomi and HTC 10
Is it a good phone ? It is an brilliant phone but honestly Samsung is getting a lot of complains for lots of hardware issues and some software features were deleted since the s5 and note 4.
If I could choose between the S7 and HTC 10 I'd get the HTC 10 without a blink of an eye
I dropped my first one from about 18" and it shattered like ice. The edge concept is not useful. I'll switch to the Note 6 unless Nexus releases something more appealing. The S7 Edge isn't s useful as my Note 5, but I agree with others. The Note 4 was the best yet with its removable battery and plastic backing.
it's the best that Samsung has done so far and one of the most fashionable phone's you can get, but "the ultimate smartphone"
...no, not for me I want the latest software regularly updated and would prefer practical hardware design, using materials like polycarbonate done properly, not really into glass and metal, it looks superb but it's not so good for practical daily use and handling..
how long will it remain your ultimate phone probably a few months at best till Note 6 maybe.
- Admin
Until they return all the features of note 4 and the S5 it can not be consider the ultimate phone. Like Storm said it is to fragile to make that cut. There is more to a phone than looks, and processor speeds. Yes they returned a couple of features but not all. Of all the phones out right now I think the Note 4 is king.
Agree. When that happens I'm switching from my S5 to the S8/9/10..Edge ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

In a unique attempt to spread awareness about global warming, and possibly change the world for the better, NASA oceanographer Josh Willis has taken an avenue less traveled by scientists: comedy theater.
Willis, who believes humor will get people to pay attention to important matters, enrolled himself in classes at Hollywood's Second City in 2012 to study the art of improv.
After one year of classes, Willis met fellow Second City student and comedian Rani O'Brien, an actress who shared the same idea of writing a play about serious climate changes and what humans can do about it.
"I've done change talks for the public and lectures on global warming, but I kind of set out with this goal to make climate change funny and accessible to people to talk about," said Willis, who works as an oceanographer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His expertise is sea level rise and changes in ocean temperature, and he is the project scientist for the Jason-3 mission, which measures sea level rise from space.
For several months, Willis and O'Brien collaborated to write and produce the all-ages play "The Lollygaggers," which will be performed in the Ocean Theater at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach at 7 p.m. Sunday.
According to O'Brien, she and Willis explored how to find "the funny" in something that is inherently scary.
"We talked about the idea of putting together a kids show about climate change that was both funny and informative with many questions," said O'Brien.
"We were wary of making a musical that was saccharine, like many children's musicals can be, so instead we focused on character development."
The play features a full cast of actors and puppets forced to coexist after global warming has changed the world.
As a spoof on Hollywood, the characters migrate to Lollywood, where they lollygag because they have been displaced by climate change.
"We have a polar bear whose home melted and a grizzly bear whose home burned down, and now they have to live together," Willis said.
Other characters include a surfer who may be forced to sleep on her surfboard after the sea levels rise too high, a carbon molecule trying to "covalently bond" with two oxygen molecules at a Starbucks, and a variety of other odd couples.
The sketch comedy musical had a 16-week run at Second City after it opened in January 2014. Since then, the show has been available for booking at schools and educational centers.
Aquarium of the Pacific President Jerry Schubel says the institution was intrigued to find out that a scientist, who has spoken at various lectures at the aquarium, had developed a show that uses comedy to communicate global warming.
"Climate change and its impacts are complex topics, and they can be difficult to understand," Schubel said. "But when they are communicated in innovative ways that make it approachable and digestible, we can inspire people to take action."
Although "The Lollygaggers" is scheduled for this one show, Schubel said the Aquarium is hoping to host it again in the future.
Willis said it is important for the play to be presented whenever the opportunity arises, so both kids and adults can be educated on lifestyle choices for a better future.
"A lot of young people are going to be faced with some tough decisions that we leave behind for them," he said, "and they should grow up with some awareness of what is happening to our planet."
