SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The "polar vortex" of early January and the deep freeze not long after resulted in record demand for natural gas, Bentek Energy said Monday.
The extreme winter weather in January resulted in seven out of the 10 biggest demand days on record for the U.S., said Bentek, an unit of Platts.
January natural-gas demand averaged 102 billion cubic feet a day, nearly 8 bcf a day higher than the previous maximum monthly average demand and, all told, 241 bcf more natural gas consumption than any other month on record, Bentek added. Natural-gas spot prices soared above $100 per million British thermal units.
The freezing weather also fast-tracked demand expectations. Bentek had projected a similar level of demand around January 2019, when liquefied natural gas exports are expected to become a new source of natural-gas demand for the U.S.
Natural-gas demand, however, was well in the rear view mirror on Monday, when energy stocks fell after a weaker-than-expected reading on manufacturing data.
The broader stock market fell as well, with all sectors of the S&P 500 index in the red. The biggest losers in the energy sector included Newfield Exploration Co. US:NFX down 4%, and Valero Energy Co. VLO, -0.65% off 3.3%.
Solar stocks fared no better, with solar installer SolarCity Corp. US:SCTY retreating 5.3%. SunPower Corp. SPWR, -2.60% sliding 7%. Solar-panel maker First Solar Inc. FSLR, -1.46% declined 5%.
Meanwhile, Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.73% is expected to continue to experiment with solar-charging batteries, with an article in The New York Times saying Apple's 'iWatch' could be powered by solar or wireless charging.
The article points out that Apple posted a job listing in the fall looking for engineers specializing in solar.

BAYOU CORNE, LA (WAFB) - Authorities said a giant sink hole in Louisiana has "eaten" another chunk of land and a boat, but fortunately, two workers were rescued before the boat sunk.
The Assumption Parish Police Jury reported a 50-foot section of property fell into the sink hole in the Bayou Corne/Grand Bayou area during cleanup operations Thursday morning.
The lost land was on the southwest side of the site.
Two workers in a boat were rescued by airboat shortly before their vessel became the latest casualty of the slurry. The boat had been tied to a tree, but it was taken by the sink hole anyway.
Officials said no injuries were reported.
Cleanup operations at the site have been suspended.
"It's such a steep edge, on the edge of the sinkhole the soil can't support it and what happens is it sluffs at less of an angle," said John Boudreaux, Assumption OEP.
Crews are still assembling the rig that is being built near the sinkhole. The white tower you see in the pictures is the well rig derrick. Even though the cleanup process has been put on hold, the observation well and exploration process underground will continue as planned.
Assistance for Bayou Corne Area Residents to be available Friday, August 17
Firm selected to handle aid to those affected by evacuation order
Residents affected by the August 4 evacuation order resulting from the discovery of a sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish will begin receiving financial assistance beginning Friday, August 17.
Texas Brine Company, LLC, of Houston, has chosen Worley Catastrophe Response to coordinate and manage a housing assistance fund for residents living around the Bayou Corne community in the area under a mandatory evacuation order issued by Assumption Parish officials. Worley will operate out of the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office substation in Pierre Part. A Worley employee will be on site once a week, or as needed, beginning Friday.
Beginning August, 17, the fund will be used to provide weekly housing assistance to those who live in the affected area. A check in the amount of $875 per week will be issued to a representative of each household in the affected area who submits a Louisiana driver's license or other reasonably acceptable photo identification confirming residence in the evacuation zone. Those residences are listed in documentation provided by parish officials.
Assistance checks will issued by a Worley representative at the sheriff's substation on a weekly basis. Texas Brine has instructed Worley to consult with representatives of any household whose residents believe that special circumstances might warrant additional assistance. Each of those requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Local, state and federal officials studying the sinkhole have not yet determined fault in the incident. Texas Brine has operations adjacent to the sinkhole, south of La. 70 South in Assumption Parish. The company is working closely with government officials to help determine the cause of the sinkhole.
Because of its proximity to the sinkhole, Texas Brine has taken the lead in providing aid to residents in the community neighboring their facility and hired Worley to administer the program, known as the Bayou Corne Incident Evacuee Fund.
About Texas Brine Company, LLC:
Texas Brine Company, LLC, is the largest independent brine producer in the United States, supplying over 30 percent of the brine requirements of the chlor-alkali industry. More information is available at http://www.texasbrine.com.

Selfishness also leads people to violate the natural order established by God. Such violations include contraception, in-vitro fertilizations, abortion (which is the cruelest form of violence), divorce, fornication, adultery, and perverted and sterile sexual acts. Such violations result in breakdown of the moral fabric of the society and of family life; resulting in much suffering, especially to little children.
We will find complete peace only when we express unconditional love, because to love is the true nature of our spirit.
Dude, where do you get your pot?
The logical response to getting that tingle in his dingle is turning into an asshat, of course.
Oh good, you're back.Now leave.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
Humanity does learn from history,sadly, they're rarely the ones in power.
Life is too damned short for the concept of "guilty" pleasures to have any meaning.
(click to show/hide)
Question: What about people who find peace through religions other than Christianity? Buddhists, for example: from what I can tell, they have just as much inner peace as Christians, if not more so. And what about people who find peace and unconditional love without any religion at all?Does their peace and love not count?
I'm accusing you of being stupid.
Her3tik, you have groupies.
There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

Alhambra Cemetery FAIL
Oh no!
I was successful in getting out to Alhambra and St. Catharine's Cemeteries over the weekend, but to my dismay, the cemeteries were shuttered to visitors. Apparently one typically has to go to the Martinez police department to obtain access, but, as it was Sunday, the police department in this sleepy little town was closed.
The two cemeteries are separated by a two-lane road, St. Catharine's on the higher ground above the road, Alhambra sloping down and away from the road.
The view from the cemetery, as we read about in the 1882 description last week, looks indeed to be beautiful, as you can see from this shot we took through the fence:
From the gates we could read one of the many historical markers that surround the opening into the cemetery:
We also could see some interesting burial markers, including, to my surprise, some wooden ones, one of which you can make out in the lower-left of this photo:
Overall it was a tranquil, beautiful spot perched high above the lovely Carquinez straits. I plan to go back again and try to tour the cemetery itself, instead of just peeking in over the barbed wire. In the meantime, you can virtually visit the cemetery courtesy of the Martinez Historical Society.

How sad that we have to protect our cemeteries this way. On the other hand, if some of the cemeteries here had barbed wire fences more of my ancestors markers would still be standing.

Amy: It sure looks like it. I wish I could have gone in there to see. It was such a beautiful day, too.
Apple: That is true. On the one hand it is good to see the cemeteries protected. On the other hand, its too bad they aren't monitored in some form so that they can be open to the public during the day, on a SUNDAY even!

JENNIFER, Sad that you didn't get into the cemetery --- but good that the historical graves and memorials are being so well protected.
After reading your post, my wife and I were in northwest Alabama yesterday. At an intersection I could see the edge of the town's cemetery and beside the main entrance, was a huge ugly sign. The cemetery was within two blocks of the courthouse and town completely surrounded it. Thinking is was a "do not enter" sign much like the one your encountered, I changed directions and drove to the cemetery to read the sign. It was not a "no admittance" but a huge sign from the cemetery committee stating emphatically that no markers could be installed or moved without written approval in advance. It was pointed and direct --- but the cemetery was open to visitors.
Thanks for your report and pictures about Alhambra Cemetery. I do hope you get back to it soon and with a pass for entry.

I contacted Martinez PD about getting a key to get into St. Catherine's (as the sign says to do) and was told that they no longer have it. One must make an appointment with St. Catherine's Diocese and get the key from them. Here is their website: http://stcatherineofsienamartinez.org

Do you know who to contact for Alhambra Cemetery records? I may have a great great uncle there, and the burial record might help us with some unanswered questions about our family. He shows up in this cemetery in Find A Grave, but not in the county's online records. Thanks.

Major Section: EVENTS
Note: This is an event! It does not print the usual event summary but nevertheless changes the ACL2 logical world and is so recorded.
This event sets a flag that controls whether the ACL2 rewriter uses
the special-purpose
update-nth rewriter (nu-rewriter).
The flag may have one of three values:
t, or
:set-nu-rewriter-mode nil ; do not use nu-rewriter :set-nu-rewriter-mode t ; use nu-rewriter in rewriting :set-nu-rewriter-mode :literals ; use nu-rewriter in rewriting after ; a pre-pass through every literal
The value
nil prevents the use of the nu-rewriter. The other two
values allow the use of the nu-rewriter.
When the flag is non-
nil and the rewriter encounters a term that
``begins with an
nth'', the nu-rewriter is applied. By ``begins
with an
nth'' here we mean either the term is an application of
nth or is an application of some nonrecursive function or
lambda expression whose body contains an expression that begins
with an
Note that the use of the nu-rewriter here described above is driven
by the rewriter, i.e., the nu-rewriter is applied only to terms
visited by the rewriter in its inside-out sweep. When the flag is
set to
:literals the system makes a pre-pass through every goal
clause and applies the nu-rewriter to every subterm. The rewriter
is then used on the output of that pre-pass.
Note: This is an event! It does not print the usual event summary
but nevertheless changes the ACL2 logical world and is so
recorded. Moreover, its effect is to set the
acl2-defaults-table, and
hence its effect is
local to the book or
encapsulate form
containing it; see acl2-defaults-table.
We expect to write more documentation as we gain experience with the

New York native Robert Rodriguez grew up as one of seven children, and his siblings used to tease him a lot, as siblings do. For Rodriguez, that meant hiding his prosthetic leg and calling him names.
Rodriguez was born with a congenital birth defect in which he was missing two toes and muscles and ligaments in his right leg. He would either be wheelchair-bound or undergo an amputation for a better quality of life, and his family chose the later so he could play baseball and basketball with a prosthesis.
And by the time he wore shorts and revealed his prosthetic leg, no one could hurt him.
"My siblings called me every name in the book," Rodriguez said in a phone interview. "Kids were mean, but I'd already heard everything. My skin was kind of thick. My siblings and family toughened me up. They almost encouraged it just to toughen me up.
"Even though I was an amputee, I wasn't really comfortable with it. In the summer, I wore pants a lot. I would be waring jeans, just to try to be normal and play sports. It took me until I was 14 or 15 years old to realize that being different was cool."
The 27-year-old Rodriguez now celebrates his differences for everyone to see. He's made it his life's work, too. He's a guard on the AMP1 basketball team that will participate in the Nike Basketball 3ON3 Tournament at L.A. Live this weekend.
Rodriguez and his traveling team – a roster of eight players who all play with at least one prosthetic leg – are no joke. They went for a yearlong stretch without ever losing a tournament, Rodriguez said. The reaction of opponents varies.
"In a tournament like 3ON3, everyone wants to win," Rodriguez said. "When our opponents see us, either they tend to take it easy on us at first and see if we can play basketball, or they try to blow us out of the water and look down on us. We love it either way.
"We're open to any challenge. Being an only-amputee team in the nation, we take great pride in that. We want to represent our company and hold up expectations and set the bar high. You might have seen amputees in wheelchair basketball, but we're the first standup team. Unless you want to get eliminated, you have to play."
The tournament is outdoors at L.A. Live, across the street from Staples Center, home to the Lakers and Clippers. That's not lost on Rodriguez, who's a huge New York sports fan but loves Los Angeles. And yes, he realizes it's odd for a New Yorker to be so enamored with L.A.
"I'm a huge basketball fan, since I was 6 or 7 years old," Rodriguez said. "One of the coolest things will be being in that environment. L.A. is a wonderful place and a place I can see myself living and retiring in. The biggest thing will be playing in that area where Chris Paul and Kobe and the Lakers and the (aura) of the Lakers in L.A. It will be exciting to be in that."
Rodriguez has a prosthesis for his everyday active lifestyle and one for running, which he's using to train for the 2016 Paralympic Games. He uses a different prosthetic foot for basketball. His go-to move is taking the ball to the hoop, and that prosthetic foot doesn't always keep up with him.
"I use my regular prosthesis with a higher quality foot for basketball," Rodriguez said. "I tend to break a lot of feet. I've broken four feet in four days before. I'm very active. Freedom Innovations always makes sure I have an extra foot with me."
He carries an extra foot in his carryon bag when traveling, which he said surprised an Atlanta airport employee last year.
"The guy was looking through the X-ray at my bag and his face jumped back," Rodriguez said. "I said, 'Hey man, don't worry. That's just my extra foot.'"
Rodriguez has a 2-year-old son, Robert Jr., and he and his wife, Christina, have another baby on the way. Rodriguez's son is very curious about his father's differences.
"My son is too comfortable with my prosthesis," Rodriguez said with a laugh. "I have to take it away from him. He associates with it 'Da Da's leg.' He likes to play with it and carry it around. He'll come up on the couch and rub the residual, or you can call it a stump. He's very attentive. He looks at my good leg and compares it with my amputated leg."
Rodriguez travels around the country, hoping to help and inspire people. He and his teammates reached a young, able-bodied girl last year, which he said reaffirmed his goals.
"Last year we went to Indiana and had an event at a church," Rodriguez said. "We did an exhibition game and had fun and spoke to the kids. After we got back to the hotel, we received a Facebook message from a young lady. She said she wasn't going to come out, but her friend asked her to go and we inspired her so much. She said she was going to go home and commit suicide, but we inspired her not to go forward with that. That's probably one of the most meaningful things."
Rodriguez, who used to work in marketing, is now the first employed patient advocate for East Coast Orthotics & Prosthetics. He's also a trained peer visitor for Amputee Empowerment Partners, a program that provides peer guidance and support for recent amputees.
And, he can play a little basketball too.

Due to security reason which has been a very important issue recently, the 9th ICAAP Local Organizing Committee has decided to increase the security level by strictly implementing all badges with barcode and photo ID.
This situation will impact that exhibitor badges cannot be handed over to someone else. Therefore all exhibitors should finalise and fix the persons-in-charge who will be the stand guides in each booth(s), because switching exhibition stand guides will not be allowed.
To get the exhibitor badge, every exhibitor / stand guide should do the re-registration onsite before entering the venue building / exhibition area. The registration counter itself will be located in tent at the outside of the venue building.
The re-registration will start on 8 August 2009, from 07.30 to 16.00. Exhibitor may come to do the re-registration before the set up day.
Exhibitors re-registering on 9 August 2009 should do the re-registration before doing booth decoration, which has been scheduled on 15.00.
The flow of getting the exhibitor badges will be as follows:
- Exhibitors that have completed the payment queue up at the registration counter (sub counter "Exhibition") and get the receipt slip to make the photo ID at Photo ID Counter.
- Exhibitors that have not completed the payment should settle the full payment at the cashier then queue up at the registration counter (sub counter "Exhibition") and get the receipt slip to make the photo ID at the Photo ID Counter.
- After exhibitors have made the photo ID, the exhibitor badge will be given and the exhibitor may enter the building.
We thank you for your kind cooperation and generosity in understanding this situation.

Can u see them doing this or that... tit for tat...how old r u?
Here are some of ure shia madmen beheading an civilians from a sunni village...
Hurt a sunni and go to heaven. .. shia mantra?...
First of all those are Iraqi soldiers/militia (hard to distinguish between them nowadays unfortunately) with IS hostages that they have taken on the battle field. Do you speak Arabic? If not have someone translate.
Secondly- Iraqi Army and Shia militias have strong partners within the Sunni Iraqi community. The 350 Sunnis that were recently killed by IS is one of such examples. So it ain a Sunni vs Shia thing.
Thirdly- Kill a sunni and go to heaven is not a Shia mantra but its opposite is a takfiri mantra. Hence you see Shias cooperating with Sunnis on many fronts (Anbar, Kurdish Areas of Iraq and Syria) but you never see Shias or others fighting alongside IS. If such was a Shia mantra then they would not have strong Sunni allies.
Once again- Common Sense!

- Premier League
Premier League clubs vote in favour of FFP
Premier League clubs have voted in favour of introducing a Financial Fair Play deal and restrictions on wages.
Representatives of the clubs first met in December to discuss proposals on a new system obliging teams to break even, as well as imposing some sort of cap on wages. The clubs agreed to reconvene on Thursday with 13 votes out of 20 needed to accept the proposals.
Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool were all expected to back the new plans, while Manchester City, Fulham, West Brom and Aston Villa were expected to vote against.
In actual fact, the vote for the financial regulations could hardly have been closer - as six were against with Reading abstaining. It meant that the 'yes' vote only narrowly achieved the necessary two-thirds majority of the 19 votes cast.
Clubs sources say Fulham, West Brom, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Swansea and Southampton all voted against. Chelsea, who had initially been viewed as opponents of financial fair play regulations, voted in favour.
In a statement, the Blues said they are supportive of moves that promote financial stability.
It read: "Premier League clubs today reached an agreement to introduce financial stability rules and wage controls for the league. Chelsea Football Club is supportive of moves that promote financial stability in football. We are already subject to UEFA's financial fair play principles and will comply with those.
"The new rules will be subject to further detailed discussions before they are brought in and we will play our part in those to ensure implementation is fair for all clubs in the league.''
The Premier League's legal advisers will now work on the detailed proposals and these will be brought back before the chairmen in April to be ratified.
After the meeting, West Ham joint-chairman David Gold said that a majority did vote in favour of the proposals.
"The clubs supported change. We've all voted and it was overwhelmingly supported. Some clubs are a little concerned, but the vast majority voted in favour," he told Sky Sports. "That will now go to the board for putting into rules, and we'll vote on that in April."
Gold added: "It's not a salary cap, it's a restraint on over-spending. It's not a cap - it's a restraint. If clubs increase their revenues then they can increase their spending.
"We have got restraint, that's the important thing. What's driving the whole thing is we've got to avoid another Portsmouth.''
The Premier League's expected FFP system would be less restrictive than UEFA's, which is gradually being introduced and obliges clubs to break even or face possible exclusion from European competition.
At Thursday's meeting, the chairmen were presented with a proposal for owners to be allowed to cover losses up to £105 million over a three-year period. That is significantly more flexible than UEFA's which only allows losses of €45 million (£39 million) over three years to be covered by owners.
If plans go ahead, the Premier League would be the first top-flight European league to bring in such a system.

Gilmat Decoration, 2017-09-28 15:21:52.Ceiling fans are still popular in use even though air conditioners now get even more sophisticated and energy saving at the same time. It is especially true in the South. With their reputation for being highly energy efficient and practical, it is actually not surprising seeing many homeowners still favor the fixture to cool their house during hot summer. They can be used even as kids ceiling fans for your child's room to provide the comfort and breeze even though it's hot outside.In general, ceiling fans can help uphold a constant temperature in the room, thus preventing the heater or AC from working too hard. Therefore, the kids ceiling fans to install can help save energy. As windows open, the kids room ceiling fans circulate the fresh air. Typically, ceiling fans do not require more than a 100 watt bulb for electricity, reducing up to 40 percent off your energy cost when the fans are used consistently—a friendly solution not only for the planet, but also for your wallet.The size of the kids ceiling fans to install will depend on the size of the room where they are about to be installed. In general, though, a 36 or 42 inches fans are already appropriate for a smaller room (usually measured around 11 x 11). For larger rooms, though, larger ceiling fans are required and they are usually closer to 52 inches wide in diameter. Be more cautious when you are about to install one for small spaces like offices, apartment-sized kitchens, or pantries.Basically, though, any size fan is capable of moving around air. However, if you are concerned, you can check the CFM rating or cubic feet of air per minute rate. Apart from that, consider the direction where the kids ceiling fans you plan to install is supposed to turn. Ideally, in the summer, it is best to cool the room with the blades rotate counter clockwise. But in the winter, rotate the blades clockwise by flipping the switch on the motor so the fan can push the warm air into the room.And it goes without saying that you need to check for the quality of the kids ceiling fans to install. Whether you only want to buy ceiling fans or kids ceiling fans with lights, it's always recommended to spend more for better quality from reputable manufacturers. It is also a matter of safety, aside from proper installation, so you can prevent any harm from occurring to your child.

My Cup Runneth Over
Emma: "Why did you squash me and Nona in a cup?"
Emma wanted to add to the picture, but I wouldn't let her. Bad mommy. It's just a picture, after all. So Emma drew her own version of the teacup tea party. She added mommy and daddy and our crazy pooch Oz.
I like her version better.
Though Dad doesn't usually wear a skirt at home.

Anyone heard of this before? I was just wondering if it's your usual "magical cure" or is there really something to it. It's for people, but arthritis is arthritis no matter the species I guess.
Snail elixir for arthritis?
Talk about diets, exercise, and disease.

Re: Snail elixir for arthritis?
The page makes me think its snake oil, but green-lipped mussel is a known arthritis treatment found in several well respected glucosamine supplements, so maybe there's some relationship to arthropods? Hard to know without knowing the active ingredient.

Editors' note: This review currently reflects performance for the global model of the 2014 Note 10.1, with its 1.9GHz eight-core processor. It will be updated with results from the US quad-core version when that unit arrives.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) is the tablet you buy because you crave the stylus' unique drawing and handwriting capabilities. Remove the S Pen wand from the equation, though, and the Note's competitors start sounding like a much better deal.
Yes, the Galaxy Note 10.1 significantly upgrades the original Galaxy Note 10.1 with a fast octa-core (global) or quad-core (US Wi-Fi, LTE) processor, up-to-date Android, solid dual cameras, and useful software tools. Best yet, Samsung has corrected several problems that plagued its stylus-compatible apps in previous Note iterations.
But rivals like the Google Nexus 10 (2012) give you a similar or on-par display resolution, screen size, and specs for $50-to-$150 less than the 16GB Wi-Fi Note 10.1's $549.99 US price. (The 32GB US Wi-Fi version costs $599.99.)
If you're looking for all the whistles and bells, then pick the Note 10.1 for its niche multitasking achievements. Otherwise, those seeking a core tablet experience should get the Nexus 10 (2012), or hold out for the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 or Apple's next-generation iPad, which the company is expected to announce later this month.
What's new?
There are major design, hardware, and software updates over the original Note:
- Square design, "leatherlike" backing
- Much higher screen and camera resolution, faster CPU
- Micro-USB charging
- Android 4.3
- Air Command task shortcuts
- Overhauled S Note note-taking app
- Multitasking enhancements
- My Magazine app (by Flipboard)
Hardware and design
A distant member of the Samsung Galaxy S4 family, the Note 10.1 has the same squared-rectangle shape and steep, silvery sides. Like the Note 3, this slate gets a "leatherlike" finish on its plastic backing, down to molded faux stitching that attaches to nothing, but is meant to give an air of professionalism and class to the Note family going forward.
I'm no fan of either the marketing jargon or the imitation leather, both of which feel cheap and forced to me. I do, however, like the smudge-free matte finish. Grip it the wrong way, though, and it's more slippery than it looks. This boils down to personal taste; several other CNETers liked both the Note 10.1's look and its feel.
Compared with featherweights like the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, the Note 10.1 is a bit of a chunker at 1.18 pounds. Even though it's lighter and slimmer than 2012's Nexus 10 and iPad 4, its weight could wear on you after time. The Note otherwise feels fine, and takes up much less space than its predecessor, which makes it easier to tote around.

Samsung comes out swinging with a 2,560x1,600-pixel resolution (WQXGA) for its 10.1-inch display. This is a huge spike from the 1,280x800 resolution in last year's model, and the 299 pixel density makes a difference on the Note 10.1's Super Clear LCD screen. Colors are bold and beautiful on automatic brightness settings, and text, images, and video look crisp. This is important for a device so centered around content creation. If you keep track of these things, this 2014 edition has a slightly higher pixel density than Apple's fourth-edition iPad (299 versus 264).
As a bonus, the two capacitive buttons on either side of the home button respond to the S Pen's touch (just like on the Note 8 tablet and Note 3 phone). Pressing and holding the home button brings up recent apps. A double press launches S Voice; a triple press invokes My Magazine (more on that below). Using the stylus for tasks may require more premeditation than using your finger, but it does help keep the screen smudge-free.
Also like the Note 8 tablet, this Note 10.1 has a Micro-USB charging port instead of the less convenient proprietary charger on the original Note 10.1, but once again, you'll need to purchase a third-party HDMI cable and adapter to hook the tablet to your TV. The device has an IR blaster to remotely control the TV, and a microSDXC card slot that takes up to 64GB in external storage. Speakers integrated into the left and right spines sound nice and loud on maximum volume, with minimal tinniness and certainly less hollowness than you find on a typical tablet.
Two high-end cameras make their way onto the Note; an 8-megapixel shooter on the back, next to an LED flash, and a 2-megapixel camera on the front. As for color options, you'll have two: jet black and classic white.
Under the hood, the international version of the Note 10.1, the version I reviewed, packs in Samsung's eight-core 1.9GHz Exynos 5 Octa processor and a Mali-T628 GPU. In the US, you'll get Samsung's 1.3GHz quad-core Exynos 5420 processor instead. Until performance test results are in, don't automatically assume that eight cores are better than four.
What you can count on are 3GB RAM and either 16GB or 32GB built-in storage. This model I'm testing is the 32GB variety. The Note 10.1 (2014) draws power from its 8,220mAh battery. Connection options for the Wi-Fi version include the usual suspects: GPS; Wi-Fi, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac; USB 2.0; and Bluetooth 4.0.
Multitasking wonderland
Samsung has given both its new tablet and Note 3 phone a handful of smart, important productivity enhancements through new stylus software. Any time you pull the S Pen from its holster, or click the S Pen button on the side while hovering over the screen, the new Air Command fans out with a palette of five shortcuts you can take.
Action memo can "read" your scrawling handwritten addresses, e-mail addresses, and the like, and drop them into an address book, onto a map, or stick a URL into a browser. Accuracy seemed pretty good in my tests, and I've been known to produce some pretty bad chicken scratch. The other shortcuts were equally good at doing what they say with lassoing items for the scrapbook, saving screenshots of pages you can immediately annotate, and my favorite: initiating the universal search.
Even though it looks great, using the Air Command shortcut wheel wasn't always the fastest way to do something. Since you're hovering over it to navigate, there's a bit of delay as you pan the wheel. One shortcut, Pen Window (which launches an applet on top of whichever screen you're on), takes three steps to use. At that point, it might just be faster to find the app or shortcut on your own.
Multi Window is Samsung's name for split screen, which just means that you can drag two app windows onto the screen for simultaneous side-by-side use. Pull the frame to adjust the window size, and tap the blue dot separating the screens for more options, including dragging and dropping items across screens. New functionality lets you create templates for your favorite combinations, say two browser tabs or your e-mail and the gallery. I always enjoy that pressing and holding the back button toggles Multi Window on and off.
OS and apps
2014's Note 10.1 runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, which mostly delivers some behind-the-scenes improvements (but it feels good to be current). Samsung's TouchWiz interface for tablets rides on top, bringing with it a host of add-on functionality. There's Air View to preview items like photos and tool tips, Smart Pause to halt a video when you look away and resume when you look back, and screen mirroring, to name a few.
You launch Google Voice Actions and Google Now by tapping a button on the home screen, and can dig into the settings to turn on gestures for a variety of actions, like waving your hand to browse an image or cover the screen to pause or mute what's playing.
Here's something entirely new to the tablet. Swiping up from the bottom of any home page opens My Magazine, a Flipboard-made news-reading experience. It's a stylish, cool way to discover and share the news, but has one fatal flaw. Although you can select different categories you'd like to read -- technology, travel, food, science -- you can't actually pick your outlets. Boo-hiss.
