Samsung introduced us to the?Ativ Book 9 Plus Ultrabook back in June, but now the company has provided more details about its forthcoming rollout. The tech giant has also announced the new Ativ Tab 3 Windows 8 tablet.

The Ativ Book 9 Plus laptop is a Windows 8 answer to the MacBook Pro, complete with a super-high-res Gorilla Glass screen. The display packs?3,200x1,800 resolution into its?13.3 inches, which beats the similarly sized Retina display's 2,560x1,600. At 0.53 inches and 3.1 pounds, it's also thinner and lighter than the equivalent Apple notebook. (Its other specs are similar: Intel Core i5-4200U processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB solid-state drive) But perhaps most notably, it will cost $100 less than the cheapest Retina display MacBook Pro -- $1,399.99 -- when it becomes available for pre-order on August 18.

In comparison. the newest iPad is 0.37 inches thick and 1.44 pounds. It uses an Intel Atom Z2760 processor, and comes with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of solid-state storage. Its resolution is not Retina-quality, however, at 1,366x768. It does include a S Pen digital stylus, as well as a cover with a built-in Bluetooth keyboard and kickstand.

I'm sorry to say, but you trained your new husband that it was okay to walk all over you. If he can walk all over you, and his son knows this, why wouldn't he go running to daddy every time he has a 'problem'.

I really don't understand how you can be happy in a marriage where the other side has absolutely no respect for you. It's clear that you know it and feel it, because you wouldn't be here .. but my real question to you is this.

Why aren't you standing up for yourself? Why do you want to be with someone who isn't concerned about what you are and are not okay with? You've said it yourself. The thing is, this has nothing to do with your son in law and everything to do with your husband.

It's a complete cop out to say you had no choice in the son in law moving in, a cry of playing victim. Everyone has a choice. If your husband didn't like or agree to a set plan in regards to paying rent or doing something around YOUR home to maintain it, why wasn't his arse shown the door?

From the outside looking in, the husband pays for nothing of the household and sometimes 'helps with groceries'. He gets to spend money on the 'fun stuff' like vacations, but doesn't have to spend money on a household? He in turn, feeds that complete upside down view on life to his son.

It boggles my mind.

Vick to start, split time with Foles vs. Patriots

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ? Michael Vick or Nick Foles? Might as well flip a coin.

Vick will start for the Philadelphia Eagles in their preseason opener against New England on Friday night only because it's his turn to go first in the quarterback rotation. Foles also will take snaps with the starters, and the second-year pro will start the second preseason game.

"It was Mike's day in the rotation, that was the easiest way for us to do it and then we'll make sure the rotation works out that Nick will get the start next week," coach Chip Kelly said Thursday. "The two of those guys, we feel like we've got it balanced out. We met with those guys this morning. They were great with it, so that's kind of our plan going in."

Both Vick and Foles are expected to get between 12 and 20 snaps vs. the Patriots. The two QBs have been competing for the No. 1 job since Kelly's arrival in Philadelphia.

"It doesn't mean anything," Vick said about the start. "The only thing I want to do is go out there and have fun, play the game, play with a purpose, enjoy every snap, try to make the most out of it as long as I'm out there and just try to be consistent like I have throughout camp and have fun playing the game."

Rookie Matt Barkley will come in after Vick and Foles in the second quarter and play through the third. Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne will play the fourth.

The Eagles and Patriots concluded three days of join practices before facing each other on the field at Lincoln Financial Field.

"I've said it all along, it's very difficult to evaluate somebody in just helmets and shorts," Kelly said. "That's not how the game is played, so obviously I think our practices from an intensity level, we're ramping up a little here just because the Patriots are here.

"On both sides I thought it was great work for us. For guys that are competing right now, the preseason has to be the same way. If that's not your approach as a player, you're going to get passed on by."

While Kelly uses the preseason games to evaluate who will be his starting quarterback, the Patriots are in an enviable position. They have two-time NFL and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady. Third-year pro Ryan Mallet is the backup followed by Tim Tebow.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick hasn't told Tebow if he'll play against the Eagles, though it's likely he will take some snaps.

"I'm getting better every single day, more comfortable with the offense and better timing with everybody around me, better understanding of what the coaches want me to do," Tebow said.

Mallet certainly will see plenty of action.

"I can't wait," Mallett said. "I feel like I've improved a lot overall. I feel confident and ready to go."

It'll be the first chance for rookie wide receiver Aaron Dobson to catch passes from Brady. The Patriots have a new group for Brady after their top five receiving leaders from last season are no longer with the team or injured.

"Definitely jitters a little bit, just because it's something new," Dobson said. "I'm ready for it. I'm excited to play."

Running back LeGarrette Blount also will make his Patriots debut. Blount, who ran for 1,007 yards as a rookie for Tampa Bay in 2010, is coming off a disappointing season and was traded to New England for a seventh-round draft pick. He'll be playing against his former coach at Oregon in Kelly.

"He's a real good coach and a real good guy," Blount said. "I loved his offense at Oregon and if it's going to be anything like that, they'll be pretty productive."

All eyes will be on Kelly's offense to see how up-tempo style translates in the NFL. Kelly had tremendous success at Oregon, and everyone has been wondering since he replaced Andy Reid how he'll do in the NFL.

Though Kelly won't show too much in the preseason, it'll be a small sampling at least.

"It's going to be a lot of fun," Kelly said. "I think the way our camp worked out for itself, our players came in with great attitudes and that part was exciting. Then you get an opportunity to now bring a new team in. I think that kind of changed how we were doing things. Now we're getting into the preseason portion of it. We don't talk about it's just the preseason. It's on the line every time you go on the field.

"So we're all excited about our opportunity to play tomorrow night."

Kids' 'Hunger Games' camp stirs controversy

Pop culture

2 hours ago

Lionsgate

Summer camp is traditionally a place where lots of kids get together, run around, swim, play games, maybe ride horses. And then there's one particular camp that's taken the games-playing to a new level.

A Largo, Fla.,?Country Day School summer camp has been running a "Hunger Games" themed tournament, where 26 young participants are expected to fight one another to the "death," as the young people in the fictional "Hunger Games" books and movies do.

In a piece reported by the Tampa Bay Times, the adolescents (of course) don't really fight to the death ? it's all playacting. But the way the kids take on their roles means they end up telling each other things like, "I will probably kill you first" and "I might stab you."?

The children "kill" one another by pulling flag belts from their enemy's waists, and the camper with the most "lives" at tournament's end wins.?

The story quoted clinical psychologist Susan Toler as saying the camp idea was "unthinkable," noting that "when (children) start thinking and owning and adopting and assuming (those killer) roles, it becomes close to them. The violence becomes less egregious."

In a statement posted to its blog, Country Day School denied that it encouraged violence. "Country Day School always prioritizes the emotional and physical safety of our students," the school wrote. "As we purposefully promote peace and kindness with all of our students, it is unthinkable that Country Day School would ever support or encourage violence."

The school also explained its decision to offer a "Hunger Games" camp: "After careful consideration, we decided to offer a camp for middle school students centered on 'The Hunger Games' in response to adolescent interest in the popular book trilogy. Our decision was predicated on the development of a curriculum that replaced any subjects of violence with positive themes of character development and team building."

The blog also offered?a video "that provides an accurate overview of the camp."

The camp has made some adjustments this year, changing the semantics of what the children were doing. They were no longer killing one another, but collecting lives. They also participated in team-building activities like the Minefield, where kids had to guide one another through verbal cues only through a field of cones, baseball gloves and Hula-Hoops.

The article ended, however, by showing that the camp was far from violence-free. One 11-year-old noted that he'd gotten "stepped on."?

"I'm sure it was an accident," said camp director Jared D'Alessio.

The boy begged to differ, saying he'd been knocked down. "I got stepped on," he said.

Country Day School denied the incident. "This misrepresentation and the suggestion that a child was hurt while in our care could not be further from the truth," the school wrote on its blog.
