The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are now official from Samsung, with global availability set for March 16. |
While the overall designs haven’t changed drastically from last year, let’s quickly cover the big spec differences. The Galaxy S9 features a 5.8″ QHD+ Curved Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon 845 processor, 4GB RAM, storage options starting at 64GB up to 256GB, rear-facing 12-megapixel camera, 3,000mAh battery, wireless... |
The Galaxy S9+ is of course similar to the smaller Galaxy S9, but comes with a larger 6.2″ QHD+ Curved Super AMOLED display, 6GB RAM, dual rear-facing cameras with OIS (Wide-angle: Super Speed Dual Pixel 12MP AF sensor (F1.5/F2.4), Telephoto: 12MP AF sensor (F2.4)), and a larger 3,500mAh battery. |
All of the important spec information can be viewed here. |
Because the hardware didn’t change too much, Samsung has to incorporate other changes to make these phones stand out from last year’s. To do so, Samsung focused on the camera(s), entertainment experience (stereo speakers), new DeX Pad compatibility, as well as security with Knox 3.1 software. |
Even though Samsung’s Galaxy devices are already known for very good mobile cameras, there is always room for improvement, something Samsung doesn’t seem to have much of an issue doing year-over-year. For the new S9 and S9+, Samsung is including Super Slow-mo, Low Light Camera, AR Emoji, and Bixby AI enhancements. |
For those who are fans of slow motion shots, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are capable of 960 frames per second (FPS). Additionally, the devices also offer automatic Motion Detection, a feature that detects movement in the frame and automatically begins to record. After shooting your Super Slow-mo clip, you can select backgrou... |
To compete with Apple’s Animoji, Samsung is also including AR Emoji on these devices. AR Emoji uses a, “Data-based machine learning algorithm, which analyzes a 2D image of the user and maps out more than 100 facial features to create a 3D model that reflects and imitates expressions, like winks and nods, for true perso... |
Here’s how Samsung describes the Low Light Camera and Bixby tech. |
Bixby: Samsung’s intelligence platform, integrated into the camera, uses augmented reality and deep learning technologies to provide helpful information about a user’s surroundings3. With real-time object detection and recognition, Bixby instantly generates information directly on top of the image that the camera is po... |
The Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be available in the U.S. starting March 16, 2018. Pre-orders begin March 2, 2018. Staring March 2, if you pre-order a Samsung Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9+, you can save up to $350 with a qualifying trade-in. |
Both phones will be available through Samsung.com and the Shop Samsung app. The Unlocked Galaxy S9 is $719.99 or $30/month with 24 months financing, while the unlocked Galaxy S9+ is available for $839.99 or $35/month with 24 months financing. |

by Bob Lupton The church was justifiably proud of its community food pantry. It had grown over the years from a closet in the church basement to a spacious, well-run distribution center with its own separate building adjacent to the church. It looked more like a small grocery store than a “pantry” with rows of neatly s... |
It was still called “the pantry,” the quaint name left over from its meager beginnings when occasional bags of food were given out by the pastor. But it had evolved into a full-fledged food distribution operation run more like a business than a basement charity. It had a full-time director, a part-time bookkeeper and s... |
Then one day a church member handed the pastor a book – Toxic Charity! It made the case that give-away programs hurt the poor more than they helped, that a crisis response to a chronic need creates dependency, that doing for others what they have the capacity to do for themselves destroys a work ethic. Needless to say,... |
Isn’t community service to be about helping the needy, not just making church members feel good? And if, as that darn book says, the way the church is doing service actually harms those they are attempting to help, then the program is clearly self-serving. Not intentionally, but in reality it may be more about the chur... |
Or they may raise more questions. Questions like: Why are there so few anecdotal success stories? Or why are recipients not becoming involved in the life of the church? Or why do the “pantry” workers seem somewhat defensive about the inquiries? Probe a little deeper and it may become apparent that, as that book claims,... |
Changing an institution that is heavily vested in “the way we have always done it” is a major challenge, especially for a pastor whose job it is to keep that institution growing and keep the members reasonably happy. The last thing a leader wants is to stir up divisive controversy that could alienate good and faithful ... |
Certainly not a frontal assault. Too much damage could be inflicted on the “compassion corps” by declaring their good works toxic. A much subtler change strategy is needed. Distributing copies of Toxic Charity to key leadership (perhaps covertly) will stimulate considerable discussion. Such conversations begin working ... |
Adding a new, complementary program is far less volatile than attempting to dismantle and replace an existing one. The “pantry” stays. At least for a time. But alongside it you may chose to offer recipients the option to join a “buying club” co-op in which members pay $3 bi-weekly and receive back ten to twenty times t... |
The “pantry” may continue to function for years to come but the shift to empowerment has begun. A door has been opened that allows church members and recipients alike to experience first-hand the differences between the pridelessness of one-way charity and the dignity of reciprocal exchange. Outcomes will eventually be... |
I have a child of a MDI container and I don't want the user to be able to close it, or maximize, or minimize it. But I do want the user to be able to resize it and drag it around and will. So I want to get rid of the close, minimize and maximize buttons but retain the blue strip. |
Where "this" is some form, you may find yourself with a control lacking a blue strip to move the form around! The solution to this problem is to enter some text in the text field. |
And that seems to be how it's done. Of course there are other ways override the message handler or using PInvoke (yes I tried Google before working this out for myself) but you really don't need to. |
You can always add a delegate to listen for the FormClosing event. |

« One of the Best Ever. |
I didn’t really mean to write about all of this. Traveling over the Santiam Pass on New Year’s Eve, I wrote notes for something vastly different. But that will have to wait. |
December needs to be revisited first. |
I have been so afraid and so deeply sad. I lost my eye. I almost died. My face is still a mass of bruises, swelling, and pain. I will heal, I know, but there will be scars inside and out. |
This past month keeps replaying itself in my memory. My world exploded on December 1 – a catastrophic fall on our sailboat. Four days later, Erik and I traveled painfully back to the States with the help of porters at every airport. Over the next two days, I saw my first eye doctor at the Casey Eye Institute and then a... |
But Erik, being who he is, pushed to move the ultrasound up to December 15 to give us time to reevaluate should any new information come to light. We drove back over the pass to OHSU in a blizzard, avoiding an avalanche, to have the ultrasound. The technician, a brilliant and perceptive angel, noticed some issues with ... |
We were ushered in to a meeting with the retinal surgeon who told us my eye was too damaged to save, that to leave it in could damage the other eye. We took time to breathe, think, and decide. |
We put out an all-call on Facebook, and with a speed and love I never could have imagined, we began receiving support and help from all over the world. |
A friend of Erik’s – a lovely woman he introduced me to in the line at the post office, and to whom I spoke for maybe 10 minutes – offered to put us in touch with a world-renowned retinologist. A member of our “racing family” introduced us to a professional who studied with my retinologist in England. My niece introduc... |
And the love and prayers that cascaded over us … from “wraparound hugs” to entreaties to call should I need anything … from friends I’d had since high school to my sorority sisters, from my family to my person to my brand new racing family … tears fall as I type this knowing I would not be here without you all. |
I had my surgery on December 20, and after four days in the “ambulatory” surgical unit, Erik drove me back home. Getting over the pass was intensely painful, despite his best efforts. Christmas was saved by the presence and hugs of our children. |
We went back over the pass to see my doctors on December 30, just a week and a half after they put my face back together. Details were revealed that the doctors had told me, I was just not coherent enough to fully realize. |
The orbit of my right eye was broken in so many places, the facial reconstruction surgeon had to find a piece that was still attached to my skull and tie that one to the next and the next one to the next. The only comparison she can make is to a patient she had who fell five stories and landed on his face. |
My right cheek was disintegrated to the extent they had to use a thicker titanium plate to rebuild it so it would hold shape. My right eye had literally exploded. My septum was deviated and the right side of my nose broken in pieces too many to count. |
The injuries to my face were the kind associated with the head-on collisions of drunk drivers. Minor in comparison, I tend to forget the depressed skull fracture on my right temporal lobe. |
I was stunned. “Jesus,” I thought, “how can this be so bad?” I lost an eye, but it’s more than that. The pain, the loss, the fear. I can’t write these words without tears. I don’t know why it wasn’t just enough to give me Parkinson’s. |
I hadn’t believed them when they said the pain and bruising from this operation would be greater than the original accident. After they rebuilt my face from one incision in my mouth at the gum line and other incisions behind my eyelids, I learned they were right. My allergy to opioids caused wracking nausea and vomitin... |
I cried in his office as the finality washed over me again. Erik held my knee and told me it was ok to cry, that I had to grieve. |
But here I am now, December 31, New Year’s Eve, sitting on the couch in the Tree House in Sisters. There’s no dancing, but there is a love that will sustain us through bone-deep fatigue, pain and sorrow, and enable us to find joy in all things. |
We are making plans to go back up to the boat soon, and still plan to sail to Alaska this summer. |
So while I have many more rows to hoe, bones to mend, bruises to heal, and lessons to learn, I can begin my new year with tears for the trials of 2016, a sense of dread about the pain I still have to endure, but also gratitude for the love of family and friends, and the man who brought me home. |
Second star to the right and straight on ‘till morning. |

When I would go to the beach as a kid, I would sometimes emerge from the water with these slimy, smelly plants around my ankles. I used to see that and think it was gross. Now I see seaweed and think about recipes to use it in. |
Cooking with sea veggies is still a new concept for some people. Sure, we eat it when we dine on vegan sushi and maybe even add a few kelp flakes to a vegan “fish” recipe. For most people, sea veggies are not an item on their weekly shopping list. They’ve been used for thousands of years in Asian cooking and now they a... |
1. What are Sea Veggies? |
You’re probably wondering what the difference is between seaweed and sea veggies. The answer is there is no difference. The term “sea vegetables” has become more popular as the term “seaweed” brings up negative connotations, much like how I thought about it as a child. Besides, who wants to see the word “algae” on a me... |
Before we get to how to cook with sea veggies, let’s look at why we should. Seaweed is considered a superfood. The oldest plant family on Earth, sea vegetables are packed with more nutrients than any other plant. They have been used for centuries to treat many health problems. Sea veggies are a great source of iodine, ... |
How you use sea veggies depends on the type of seaweed you’re using. There are well over 10,000 types of seaweed. Most need to be rehydrated so they can be added easily to soups. Nori, used to wrap sushi, can be eaten dry. Seaweed can be added to salads like this Easy Seaweed Salad and this Seaweed Salad with Toasted S... |
Nori, a type of red algae, is the one you’re probably most familiar with. It’s the flaky, dark green seaweed used to wrap sushi. It’s also used as a garnish on salads and in miso soup. It’s usually sold in full sheets for sushi wrapping. Learn How to Make a Nori Roll and then try these Super Easy Nori Hand Rolls With A... |
Wakame is usually used in salads and miso soups. It is sold dried and needs to be rehydrated. The taste is mildly sweet. Try it in these Spring Rolls with Wakame and Kabocha Squash Stuffed With Black Rice, Kale and Wakame. It is also used in this recipe for Vegan “Fish” Sauce. |
Dulse is a red sea veggie sold in flakes. It’s used in soups, stir-fries and I use it a lot to add that “fishy” flavor to my vegan seafood dishes. Use dulse in this Garden and Sea Pate, ‘Crab’ Cakes with Green Tartar Sauce, and Chickpea ‘Tuna’ Salad. |
Arame is a dark brown seaweed that is sold dehydrated. It has a semi-sweet flavor and can be used on salads or in stir-fries. Use arame in this Spicy Asian Cucumber Avocado Onion Salad and in this Delicious No-Bone Broth. |
Kelp is one of the more commonly eaten sea veggies. It can be added to any recipe for a salty, umami flavor. Kelp flakes are used in this Tempeh ‘Fish’ N’ Chips with Tartar Sauce and in these Vegan Tofu Scallops. It can also be eaten in the form of kelp noodles. You’ll love these Kelp Noodles in Peanut-Miso Sauce and V... |
Spirulina is a deep sea green algae and is considered a superfood. It is high in protein, B-vitamins and antioxidants as well as other nutrients. In fact, spirulina contains so many vitamins and minerals, it is like taking a complete multivitamin. You can buy spirulina in powder or tablet form. Check out The Top 5 Reas... |
Agar-Agar is commonly used in vegan baking and in making vegan cheeses because of its thickening properties. It is sold in flake or solid form and unlike other algae, appears white. Use agar agar in this Almost Raw Panna Cotta Cream, Almond and Chamomile Panna Cotta, Vegan Rice Krispie Treats and Sliceable Vegan Cashew... |
Now that you know all about sea veggies, how good they are for you and all the delicious recipes they can be used in, it’s time to grow your sea legs and jump in to the deep end. Before you know it, you’ll be cooking with sea veggies all the time. |
