The free breakfast and Wifi throughout were great features. Kitchens in the room are great for doing a few meals in-house.
Like most hotels, there is a large parking fee. However, free street parking can be found within a 10 minute walk.
The pool and hottub are nothing special, but good for a soak at the end of the day.

Iowa Civil Rights and Afghan Writers
By Ben Kieffer
A recent analysis shows Iowa's civil rights complaints are being systematically dismissed at an alarming rate. A study calls the Iowa Civil Rights Commission's handling of the complaints an indication of "a seriously flawed enforcement process." Join host Ben Kieffer as he talks with Arnold Woods, the President of the Des Moines chapter of the NAACP and Beth Townsend, the director of the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. Then, Ben talks with Chris Merrill, the director of the University of Iowa's International Writing Program. Merrill recently returned from Afghanistan where he conducted a seminar for Afghan poets, writers, and journalists. He captured the experience in an essay for "Granta."

Judge Debra S. Nelson said she expects the state to rest its case against George Zimmerman and the defense is expected to begin on Friday, with no court being held on the Fourth of July.
[Chat recap: Tony Pipitone inside courtroom]
After Nelson saying she wanted the state to rest by Wednesday, she recessed court at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday until 8:30 a.m. Friday. Jurors will remain sequestered during the holiday break.
Nelson denied the defense's request to adjourn Friday so it could take the deposition of Benjamin Crump, the attorney representing Trayvon Martin's parents.
Attorney Don West said the defense objects to Crump's deposition schedule of Sunday at 6 p.m. West asked to take the day off from court on Friday so it can depose Crump instead.
Nelson said she was unwilling to give the day off of court, citing several reasons, including the fact that the jury is sequestered.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement DNA analyst Anthony Gorgone was the first witness of the afternoon session on Wednesday as he described DNA conditions necessary for analysis. He also testified about his findings on Zimmerman's gun. On the grip, Gorgone said he found a mixture of DNA but Zimmerman was the major contributor.
Gorgone's DNA findings appear to contradict Zimmerman's claim that Martin grabbed the gun. Gorgone said he also scraped under Martin's fingernails and only found Martin's DNA, not any of Zimmerman's DNA.
Gorgone also said he didn't find any Zimmerman DNA on hoodie worn by Martin, but did find Zimmerman DNA on the front hem on the sweatshirt Martin was wearing underneath the hoodie.
Martin's blood was found on the front right upper of Zimmerman's jacket, according to Gorgone.
During cross-examination, defense attorney Don West asked if factors can degrade DNA. Gorgone said wet evidence should be dried before storage to preserve DNA. The defense claims the evidence was stored wet. Gorgone said the evidence being sealed wet in plastic bags could have caused the DNA to degrade.
Earlier Wednesday, Zimmerman's professor testified after Nelson ruled that Zimmerman's school records showing his criminal justice courses, police job application and an application to ride around with Sanford police officers will be allowed in his second-degree murder trial.
Nelson overruled a defense objection, trying to keep from evidence the fact that Zimmerman took a college criminal justice course that included course work on Florida's self-defense law, along with application records.
Nelson heard the arguments from attorneys Wednesday morning outside the jury's presence. The prosecution said school records show Zimmerman had knowledge of the law, though he claimed in a television interview played for jurors Tuesday that he didn't.
The defense said the textbook used in Zimmerman's class doesn't mention "stand your ground" and the state needs proof Zimmerman was in class the day it may have been taught.
Despite the defense trying to block his testimony, U.S. Army Capt. Alexis Carter, a military prosecutor who taught Zimmerman's Seminole State College criminal litigation class in spring 2010, took the stand on Wednesday.
Carter waved at Zimmerman and said, "How are you doing, George?" before beginning his testimony. Carter said Zimmerman earned an A, describing him as "one of the better students in the class." Carter said he taught self-defense law, but he added that it was not Florida-specific. He did, however, teach about the "stand your ground" law.
Zimmerman had previously said on his interview with Sean Hannity that he had never heard of the "stand your ground law" before the shooting.
Carter, who began working for Orange County public defender in November 2009 while teaching the course, said self-defense was "constantly iterated" and was something "students really want to know about."
In cross-examination, West asked Carter to give jurors a lesson on "stand your ground." The state objected.
"The fact that there were injuries tends to show a person had a reasonable apprehension of fear," Carter said.
West then had Carter agree injuries are not necessary to justify deadly force and injuries support person had reasonable apprehension of fear.
"Someone initially feel that they are being threatened and they countered that with a force that was disproportionate to the force that was directed towards them, that would be imperfect self defense claim," Carter said.
During redirect, the state broached how self-defense applies to someone who "provoked" the encounter. The defense objected and the judge sustained it.
The state then called Jim Krzenski of Sanford Police Department administrative services. Krzenski verified Zimmerman wrote in his March 15, 2010 ride along waiver that he wanted to "solidify chance" of law enforcement career.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.—The NFL is reviewing the block by New York Jets guard Matt Slauson that ended the season for Houston Texans star linebacker Brian Cushing because of a knee injury.
Cushing was hurt in the second quarter of the Texans' 23-17 win Monday night on a low hit by Slauson. Cushing walked off the field on his own, but didn't return. He was placed on injured reserve with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
League spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed that the play is being looked at, as USA Today first reported Wednesday.
Slauson says he did not intend to injure Cushing, but insisted that the block was legal and hoped it didn't warrant a fine. Coach Rex Ryan agreed with Slauson, adding that he feels "terrible" for Cushing.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Keeneland's hoping to make a success in southeastern Kentucky, and they're hedging their bets that a quarter horse racetrack in the Tri-County will be a winning showplace.
The association that runs the Lexington-based thoroughbred horse racing track and auction sales company confirmed Friday they will build a quarter horse track near Corbin.
The track will be operated as a joint venture between Keeneland and Full House Resorts of Nevada. The two will buy the Thunder Ridge harness racing track in Prestonsburg and move it to the Corbin area.
While he did not discuss specifics Friday, Keeneland Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer Vince Gabbert did confirm a couple of locations south of Corbin along the I-75 corridor were being considered.
"It's something we've been working on for some time, and we feel like it's time to announce it. We are looking at land in the Corbin area, and we think we know what we want. We have to look at infrastructure, traffic, location and other variables. We need a significant piece of land, but we want room to expand with other amenities," Gabbert said in a telephone interview from Lexington.
A definite date for when the property will be purchased, when the building of the track will start, or when the track will open wasn't announced. Gabbert said the paperwork was filed on the ownership change with the state Horse Racing Commission, which would also have to approve moving the Prestonsburg track and making it a quarter horse track.
Gabbert noted the facility would be more than just a racetrack.
"We envision a full-scale entertainment venue, with the possibilities endless. It would be a fully modern facility, with room to grow if we need to do so. And we have our name on it. People associate Keeneland with quality, tradition and excellence. The community is very much woven into what we do. With that comes a great amount of responsibility. We want people to take pride in our product the same way we do," he said.
Gabbert said the track's ownership and operation would be shared with Keeneland by Full House, which owns six casinos in four states, including one across the Ohio River from Kentucky in Rising Sun, Ind. The facility near Corbin would feature quarter horse racing dates in the summer, which would include top purses on races along with simulcasting and instant racing, also known as historical wagering.
Approved in 2010 by the racing commission, historical wagering was ruled legal by Franklin Circuit Court, but the case was appealed by the Family Foundation of Kentucky, which opposes gambling expansion.
Gabbert noted a bill to approve historical wagering is expected to be filed in Frankfort in the state legislature next week. If the bill is approved, the appeal by the Family Foundation before the state Supreme Court could be a moot point and could be ruled in favor of the track.
The news of the quarter horse track being built in the Corbin area brought optimism from some area officials Friday.
"When I heard the news this morning, I was tickled to death about it," Corbin Mayor Willard McBurney said in a phone interview. "That will definitely be a big boost to our entire area. Wherever they put it, the quarter horse racetrack would benefit all of us economically."
"Look at how many people go to Lexington to the races and the horse sales at Keeneland each year. Keeneland coming here will do the same thing for the Corbin area," Whitley County Judge-Executive Pat White agreed.
"Kentucky is known for horse racing, and having the track in the Tri-County will reap benefits to our region. We could draw from Knoxville and East Tennessee, because they don't have this kind of entertainment. People from Somerset, Middlesboro, and especially along I-75 and east U. S. 25 will drive to see quarter horse racing. They'll have to build the facility, the stables, the infrastructure and that will bring jobs. Tourist-related industries will benefit, and it's a win-win situation for this area," said Knox County Judge-Executive J. M. Hall on Friday afternoon. "I hope they use Knox County, but if they don't, the Tri-County can all share in the track's coming to the region and its economic benefits."
Gabbert said the track will bring to the region a type of racing not usually associated with this state.
"From a marketing standpoint, we're looking at quarter horses. We feel like the thoroughbred breed is well-served in Kentucky. We also feel this will serve a need to the quarter horse industry, and to fans of the sport."
For those involved in racing and raising quarter horses, the news from Keeneland was welcome.
"We have a substantial quarter horse population in Kentucky, but a small amount of quarter horse racing in this state. We had to re-legalize it back in 2004 due to regulations, and we've been trying to figure out how to build the sport here. There's no significant quarter horse racing east of the Mississippi River," said Rich Wilcke of Henry County, who is also a national racing committee member of the American Quarter Horse Association.
"People have looked at the Corbin-London area as the last frontier for horse racing in Kentucky. You've got the location, you've got the regional market, and you've got the horses. Looking at the registration numbers from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and nearby states, we can confirm there are over 550,000 quarter horses within about 300 miles of Corbin. Those people who own them may not all be racing fans, but they love quarter horses. The name 'quarter horse' comes from the horse's ability to race a quarter of a mile. And if you build it, those fans will come to watch 'em race."
Gabbert said, for this reason, the location near Corbin seems like a good fit.
"It fits from a marketing standpoint. It takes in an underdeveloped area, like Knoxville and eastern part of Tennessee, as well as areas like the Lake Cumberland region of Kentucky. With the tourism industry already in this part of the state and nearby, it's a good fit. We're developing this as a strictly private venture. When we get there, we'll meet with the local authorities," Gabbert said.
The Keeneland Association was founded in 1935, with Keeneland's first race card on Oct. 15, 1936. Based in Lexington, the current President/CEO is Bill Thomason, who grew up in London.

Shook, Hardy & Bacon Center for Excellence in Advocacy
The Center has three broad goals:
- Offer unique skills-based training to KU Law students.
- Present valuable programming for KU Law alumni and the regional bar.
- Open new scholarly opportunities for KU Law faculty and nonfaculty studying related issues through a Fellowship program.
The Center was founded in June 2008 with generous support from Shook, Hardy & Bacon, an international law firm based in Kansas City, Mo., that counts among its partners and associates many KU Law graduates.
Skills Workshops
Founded and directed by Professor Valdez, KU Law students enroll in these intensive intersession courses to gain real-world experience with taking depositions and examining expert witnesses.
- Team taught with KU faculty and practicing lawyers
- Students take 10 depositions and examine experts.
- Students gain hands-on skills while still at KU Law.
Expanded Course Offerings
Plans are under way to add additional intersession and regular session skills courses in the near future. Details to come. Questions about these courses should be directed to Professor Valdez.
Outreach Events
The Shook, Hardy & Bacon Center for Excellence in Advocacy hosts events in the Kansas City metro area each year that are of interest to alumni and the bar. This year's events will be announced soon.
Advocacy Speakers Series
The Center hosts leading advocates from the region and the nation at large presenting on timely topics.
Previous speakers have included Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (2010) and then-Chief Judge Robert Henry of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit (2009).
The Center will also launch a "lunch-and-learn" style speaker series for KU Law students, faculty and practitioners.
Advocacy Fellows
Each year, the Center names a Shook, Hardy & Bacon Center for Excellence in Advocacy Fellow from among the ranks of non-law faculty.
Fellows bring an interdisciplinary element to the KU Law experience by relating their studies of jury decision-making, forensics or empirical studies of the courts through a series of lectures at KU Law and to the regional bar.
2011-12 Fellow

Local 4 has obtained the confessions of two young men charged with deadly baseball bat attacks on a metro Detroit family.
In the early morning hours of April 16, Bob Cipriano was beaten to death in his Farmington Hills home. His wife, Rose, and 17-year-old son, Sal, were severely beaten as well.
More: Details on Tucker Cipriano's confession, according to police reports
Sal's twin, Tanner, hid under a desk in his bedroom during the attacks and escaped physically unharmed.
The Cipriano's 19-year-old son, Tucker, and 20-year-old friend Mitchell Young are charged with murder and attempted murder.
COMPLETE COVERAGE: Attack on Farmington Hills family
Investigators have said the motives for the beatings were so Tucker and Young could rob the family of anything of value so they could go somewhere warm, like Mexico or Tennessee.
Tucker had been kicked out of the Farmington Hills home for previous run-ins with the law and drugs.
RELATED:Witness says plan in Cipriano attack was to kill
Local 4 has obtained signed documents where both men waived their rights to remain silent and tell police what they did.
Young gave his statement from a bed in Botsford hospital, when he was being treated for a broken jaw. It turns out he too was struck in the head by Tucker during the attacks.
Young said he wasn't under the influence of any alcohol or prescription medication at the time of the attacks and that he had only known Tucker for about a month.
Young told police the two "came up with the idea of going to his former residence" to get "anything we could carry or use."
Young said they wore rubber gloves.
When they went into the house, "a small dog began growling and barking."
Young said "Tucker grabbed the dog by its neck and he heard the dog yelp as Tucker forced its head to the kitchen floor."
Tucker's dad turned on the kitchen life and walked in wearing only underwear.
Young said Bob Cipriano was yelling, "What the (expletive) are you doing? Get the (expletive) out of this house."
Young said Tucker "freaked" and rushed his father using the baseball bat.
When Young yelled out for Tucker to stop, Young told police Tucker told him, "You better shut up or you are going to join them."
It was then that Young said he was hit in the face by Tucker and fell to the floor.
Young said Rose Cipriano came in and yelled "Just leave. I love you and will give you money. Just leave."
Young said Tucker told him to "keep it all quiet. Keep her quiet" before handing him the bat.

MNB RG: Nokia Lumia 920 dark box comparison with Lumia 900/808 PureView
Janne's back to share an interesting camera comparison set up by Nokia in a sales booth at a Helsinki department store. It's already been reported that the Nokia Lumia 920 is the highest demanded for any Nokia in 10 years for DNA Finland, quite a feat given the huge popularity of Nokia in the early part of those 10 years. We need Nokia to SHOW why the Nokia Lumia 920 is awesome, and it's things like this that do that. Not their gut wrenchingly terrible ads that have been made by an art student to confuse you.
The booth has two dark boxes where you can compare your phone and Lumia 920 low-light photography capabilities. The attached pictures were taken in 8 MP 4:3 auto modes, handheld and without flash with Lumia 900, 808 PureView and Lumia 920, and then scaled to 1024 width.
The dark box with the Christmas tree was lighted a little more from an outside spotlight, so those pictures were better in all the phones because there was more ambient light. The other box with the globe was very dark, pretty much the only one showing anything on its mobile screen was the Lumia 920.
The last two JPGs (the ones that say brightness +100% in the corner) contain the same pictures with +100% brightness to show what kind of detail or noise there was in the pictures.
Cheers Janne for the tip!

Nice post, thanks!
One question: When you are taking low-light photos with your 920, do you need to use the "night mode", as in this article it says "were taken in auto modes"
I'm asking, because I was testing 920 at my friend's place, and I didn't get impressing (different to 808) results on automatic mode, I needed to use the night mode in 920.
All these were in the default auto mode, not in any kind of night mode. I set the options to as default as possible (with the exception of putting 808 to 8 MP instead of 5 MP for comparable resolution). Flash was off, but the metering lights used to focus were on.
As for comparisons at your friends, perhaps that was due to more ambient light? These boxes were very dark, especially the one with the globe, so that might explain the difference to a room that still has more light normally.
OK, thanks for the feedback. It was quite a dark room where I did those tests, but maybe I need to try it once more.
Would the results in these box-tests be even better for 920, if the Night-mode would have been in use?
Maybe? I didn't test.
If there is really dark, night mode could be good, but you will need steadier hands than in auto mode. Night mode increases the exposure time to max 1 second (in auto mode exposure time is max 1/3 s), and OIS need to compensate your hand moves during that whole exposure time..
hmm, now im very CURIOUS in seeing Lumia 920 vs PureView 808 in low light but in MANUAL mode.
does 808 gets better when manually increase the ISO?
how the noise in 808 high ISO vs 920?
i have the same issue with my fathers 920 i have to force it into night mode to be of any use in low light/no light situations
If this is emphasized too much, one could get the impression the L920 is ONLY good in the dark… And there seem to be sacrifices to normal light condition photos. Hopefully this can be corrected AND this upcoming correction will be communicated soon.
Thanks, Jay. For any Finns or people visiting Finland, this is at the basement of Stockmann, Helsinki. Also the Nokia flagship store at Aleksanterinkatu has a similar (smaller) setup.
As I commented on the DNA thread, the demand is very strong for Lumia in Finland:
You can literally feel it when visiting these shops and looking at people on the street. But then, small Finland is not where this global fight is fought or won. (But a small winning battle for Nokia nevertheless.)
That may happen when Microsoft releases the Apollo Plus – update. If not, I'm surprised, as this is a well reported request.
the pics looks great. the 808 would have taken a better picture if it put in auto mode?
Not sure what you mean – 808 was in auto mode. The idea was to compare the regular "point and shoot" performance.
But of course, adding longer exposure and using support like tripod would allow 808 to get the best results of the bunch – no doubt.
The idea is very bad. It's like car manufacturer advertising their car to do the fastest U-Turn than all the competition. Interesting but very rarely used. The same goes for picturing things in dark boxes in automode without flash.
Thats exactly what im thinking, no doubt the 920 is an awesome phone but why would someone take a picture in such bad light without a flash? Unless if dark pictures taken with the 920 with its flash also on produces much better pics then the comp
Both of you, AreOut and Sonny, are not so much into photography, are you? Never had a proper dedicated camera with an OIS? The benefits of OIS become relevant much sooner than the examples show. It helps already with pretty much any indoor shot in medium light conditions. The chances to get shaky pictures are much much less.
And as Dave pointed out: The small integrated flash of any camera might help to get a bright picture but often kills the mood of the scene. To take some pictures of your drunken dudes, that works fine. But no flash will help you to take a picture of a landscape, a house or anything else which is further away than a few meters.
Before I've bought my N8, I had already a Lumix LX3 (with OIS) and I was really used to take shake free pictures in almost all light conditions. The lacking OIS of the N8 really annoyed me. The noise conditions in dim and low light-conditions were still acceptable but most of the pictures came out shaky. When they announced the 808 I was really excited about the possibilities of the large sensor in combination with pixel binning. But at the same time I knew that you would often need a tripod to take advantage of its low light capabilites.
OIS might not be as impressive as the huge sensor of the 808 but there are more situations where one will benefit from the OIS than from the oversampling. In bright light conditions the 920 might be just a little bit better than its competitors but this isn't bad since average is already quite good here. In low light it is simply big steps ahead.
does the 920 have a nd filter by the way?
Highly unlikely.
OIS is good for stabilizing camera shake, but without a fast enough flash like Xenon flash OIS is useless for moving subjects.
Sure, nobody denies that. At the same time a tiny Xenon flash is useless for distant objects.
Yeah, rarely used. All my subjects are always 3-5 ft away from me. I never want to have the background looking like it really looks, I prefer the deer-in-the-headlights red-eyed bright face with a pitch black background that you get with a xenon located 1 cm from the lens. All those beautiful outdoor evening shots taken with the L920 on flickr, I would never want to be able to take such a shot handheld. Tripod or go home!
"Very rarely used" my ass.
My my, someone sure is touchy… Admittedly, 920 is good in low light, no one has any doubts about that. However, I don't know about everyone else, but 90% of my pics are taken in sufficient to good lighting conditions, and out of that 10% of low light photos, less than 5% are pictures where I wish I had the benefits of 920′s OIS. So yea, it's good to have but "rarely" would be the word for it. I'm using an N8 btw.
I had an N8 too, and I wouldn't use it to take pictures in the dark. Wait til you have the 808 or 920, you will find yourself enjoying night photography a lot more
I would guess most people do not and certainly do not WANT to fiddle with any settings at all. So to me such auto mode tests are quite interesting as that's the "mass market test".
One of the key benefits of OIS (and one of the biggest issues I have had with phone cameras) is the video recording! Especially when I try to film a concert it comes out terrible and shaking. But with the OIS you get nice beautiful stable footage, and I really dislike Nokia marketing for not going all hallelujah about Nokia Rich Recording technology(HAAC) found in the 920 (as well as the 808 PureView)! Because it is one of the biggest advances in mobile life recording I have ever witnessed! HAAC IS REVOLUTIONARY AND AMAZING! So OIS is REALLY useful for video stabilization, and with the rich distortion free audio recording up to 140 dB (140 dB=Jet-plane taking off, 120 dB=Air raid siren, a rock concert=much less) it is quite the package!
Source/more info about HAAC:
how about doing an test by putting them in night mode?, then i think the comparison will be fair..
I don't think there is any doubt that in night mode, with a steady tripod or hand 808 PureView would beat the heck out of Lumia 920. I doubt we need tests for that. But it does demand a steadier hand than the Lumia 920, I don't doubt that.
If anyone (me included) gets the chance to try the night mode out, please do post. I didn't take such images because I usually feel night mode doesn't work without something to place the phone on. There was also limited time, there was a queue to the box! I just took my snaps and moved on.
However, I am confident 808 PureView is much better if held steady. No doubt in my mind.
okay, thanks for cleainng my doubt.. i own an 808 pureview..
The big thing in 920 is the optical image stabilization which means one can more often succeed with handheld longer exposure shots than on other phones. But of course 808 is otherwise a hugely superior camera, that when held steady on a tripod or something will surely beat the 920.
Without a tripod or support? 920 may win in some cases and especially with video.
pureviewclub did the test you were speaking of
the 808 is certainly better, and if you have a photo editing program you can make the 808s auto/night mode look far better than the 920 pureview because the 808s image wont be blurry whereas even with the ois in the 920 there is still a slight blur
Well, this is true IF you carry a tripod with you. And if you are already carrying a tripod with you why don't you take a more sophisticated camera with an even better lens, an even bigger sensor and an OIS with you? Do you see my point?
Well, you don't need a 7 foot carbon fibre tripod for stabilizing a cellphone. A small Gorillapod or some other pocketable tripod will do just fine, so it doesn't really add much bulk. Sure, it's still not something that you would carry with you everywhere you go.
It would be nice to see how the L900 ang PV808 do in night mode. The L920 seems to automatically select night mode on a dark environment.
i think the 920 selects the night mode automatically , better to compare 920 with 808 by putting them in night mode
Yes it does ! The 920 has night mode in auto mmode plus a veryyyyy powerful LED flash , these give ot an enormous and unfair advantage in comparisons like these ; e.g. no flash , low light , handheld , auto mode . Nokia`s trying to make the 920 into something it`s not , which is unnecessaryb ; the 920 can stand on its own ! What Nokia needs to do is get the 10 series Lumias out !
pureviewclub did that test a little while ago you can go check it out; jay even made a post in here about it
Walmart is sending out notices to 920 buyers that say demand for the Nokia 920 is so great there is a wait but as supplies come in daily, they will fit orders in the order taken.
"Not their gut wrenchingly terrible ads that have been made by an art student to confuse you."
I dont think the ads your talking about are made to confuse people. They are part of what Nokia is a brand.. I agree that there must be some other type of ads thats show the unique benefits over other competitor products.. But I also think that Nokia should remain true to their "art-style" ads communications and graphic look & feel.
what about dark box with flash? will the 920 end up over exposing compared to 808?
Here is an image taken from the same setup with an iPhone 4S. It was taken with the NightCap app downloaded from the App Store. The booth was not used to stabilize the phone. The app stabilizes the image by waiting for a moment when it's not shaking. In this case it took less than a second to do that.
Exposure time was 1/4 sec.
The picture taken with 920 is clearly the better one. However it's apparent that you can get really good results without 920′s PureView if you are using the right software. The difference between the images is not that big.
Stylinred , Mahesh , with youse ! Here we go again …
The trouble with these comparisons ( e.g. handheld , low light , auto mode, no flash ) is that the 920 has an enormous , and unfair , advantage that , so far , no other smartphone has, kinda deceptive … As the man himself , Damian Dinning , put it on twitter , in auto mode , in low light , handheld and no flash , the 920 does better due to OIS and " brighter pictues " . So what did Dinning mean by brighter pictures ?
Partly , it`s that the 920 is programmed in auto mode to take longer exposures , which any smartphone cam does in night mode , thus giving the the 920 a de facto night mode in auto mode , an enormous advantage in these comparisons .
Partly also it`s the focusing light , a fancy way of saying that the 920 and 808 use their LED flashes to focus in low light . The issue here is that the 920`s LED flash is MUCH more powerful than the 808`s . Between the 2 , of course the 920 is much better , at least in low light ..
Nor does it help that the people doing these comparisons rarely , if ever , point these issues out !
And as for OIS , it`s great , but TBH , it`s making up for the 8.7 mp camera , pretty much minimum for high end phones these days .
Don`t get me wrong , the 920 is a good phone and deserves its popularity . Not quite what I need but close . But in several cases it`s either barely ahead of it`s rivals , maybe equal to some others , and , of course , inferior to the 808 , N9 , and perhaps the N8 … Cheers !
Inferior to the N9? Really?
And how is the advantage unfair? I am a little confused. Remember, end user ease of use and experience and quality of the result is what matters for most users.
correction , low light in auto mode and no flash
Yes really . In terms of the whole experience , the N9 is indeed superior to the 920 .
As for ur third question , did u not read my post ? I was pretty clear , but for the sake of clarity , I`ll explain one more time .
In these comparisons , low light in auto mode handheld with no flash , the 920 has an enormous and unfair advantage for 2 reasons . First the 920 is programmed in auto mode for longer exposures , which is essentially night mode . None of its rivals , not even the 808 r so programmed .
Second is the focusing light , e.g. a smartphone using its LED flash to focus . The 920`s` LED flash is MUCH more powerful than it`s rivals , even the 808 , and the 808~ LED flash is no slouch on brightness .
These 2 things together comprise an enormous and unfair advantage . What`s need for fairness is allowing flash in the other phones since the 920~s flash is so much more powerful . Of course , were that to happen , the 920`s low light prowess in auto mode would be much reduced ! and isn`t it curious that low light comparisons to the 920 r almost never done in night mode ?
Viipotaja , u r right ! Ease of use and the quality of the results r indeed what matters to most customers , me included!
And here the 808 dwarfs the 920. Not that the 920 isn`t a good phone , but I contend the 808 is a better choice ! Awesome camera ( superior to the 920 in most all use cases ) , powerful and useful OS , removable battery and microSD card ! And it`s not like u have to tinker with the cam`s settings , autio mode on the 808 is great ! And why wouldn`t u put ur smartphone~ cam in night mode at , well , night ?

Lockheed CEO-elect Kubasik resigns after ethics probe
Friday - 11/9/2012, 6:55pm EST
Christopher Kubasik, Lockheed Martin's president, chief operating officer and CEO-elect, resigned Friday after an ethics probe revealed a personal relationship with a subordinate employee, the company announced.
Lockheed's board of directors asked for Kubasik's resignation.
The board named Marillyn Hewson, the executive vice president of the company's Electronic Systems unit, the president and COO effective immediately. Hewson will also become the CEO in January 2013. Kubasik had been slated to become the company's chief executive, taking over for retiring Bob Stevens.
Lockheed said Kubasik's actions violated the company's code of ethics.
Lockheed's response "demonstrates our unyielding commitment to holding every employee accountable for their actions," Stevens said in a statement. "Fortunately, we have a strong leadership team and a robust succession plan that allowed the board and me to react quickly and appropriately to this situation."
The board named Stevens executive chairman to work alongside Hewson to "facilitate a smooth CEO transition."
Hewson, a veteran Lockheed employee, joined the company in 1983.

Thread: Ophelia or Millie?
July 4th, 2013 11:25 AM #6
Ophelia most defiantly. It's got an elegance that has survived through many ages, even before Shakespeare. I don't think teasing will be a problem. Millie is sweet, but it may be best saved to be used as a nickname for Millicent or Melisende.
July 4th, 2013 11:26 AM #8
I would say Millie Catherine Louise, although both names are beautiful. The only reason I lean this way really is because IDK if this would be as much of an issue in the UK, but I worry about teasing with Ophelia in the sense that it's similar to "I feel ya" which could be horrible in middle/high school.
If you're really in love with the first sibset idea, I think Millicent Catherine Louise "Millie" is to die for. Best of luck!k♥m

I prefer Ophelia. I can honestly say that I knew Ophelia was a character in Hamlet, but I didn't know anything about her until I read the play in high school, and then I promptly forgot that she committed suicide until your post just now. I don't think sharing a name with that character will make her a target for bullying at all. I think it's a really beautiful name, and I'd probably consider using it myself.Girls: Filomena, Harper, Lavinia

Rewire is raising growth funds of $250,000 on Indiegogo and Crowdfunder for its "User-Demand" on-line advertising platform. This new on-line advertising concept is set to put users back in control of what, when, and from whom they receive advertising information.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
Rewire, the "User-Demand" on-line advertising platform (Mobile App & Website), has just been listed on Crowdfunder and Indiegogo in search of up to $250,000 of growth capital to promote its platform to corporates and small businesses across the US.
Rewire allows users to control, or re-wire the businesses that send advertising information to their computers and mobile devices. Rewire offers a solution for corporates to utilize on-line advertising, especially to mobile phone users, by allowing the user to choose which companies they wish to hear from and what information they want to see. According to Rewire CEO, Phil Ellis, We believe that Rewire will eventually eliminate unsolicited, unwanted advertising and rid the internet of tracking, profiling, and infringing on users privacy at the same time. Rewire will do this by offering a better, more accepted, and more cost effective form of advertising to businesses, who will move away from the present unpopular online advertising methods.
Ellis added, There has been a long standing problem with corporate, big brand, advertisers who don't want to annoy their followers with any unsolicited, unwanted, annoying advertisements. Now corporates have a way to legitimately allocate sizeable budgets to on-line mobile advertising.
Rewire is free to users and charges a minimal fee to businesses for each post that is received by only the users who have requested to see that specific information from that business. Rewire effectively acts as a filter, controlled by the user, to control what information is received, who it comes from, and when it is viewed.
CTO Cameron Ellis stated, Rewire is a start-up that has spent the last two years analysing the issues associated with on-line advertising, the methods companies have been employing to generate advertising revenues, and the changing demands of users. Users are rejecting unsolicited advertising more and more, do not want to be profiled, and consider tracking a complete invasion of privacy. We have spent the last 12 months developing Rewire to overcome all of these issues
CTO, Cameron Ellis added, Over the last 12 months in development, we have focused on the requirements of users, to ensure they are properly taken care of; ease of use, simplicity, ability to control who the information comes from (restaurants, professional service providers, etc.), ability to enquire on products they wish to purchase, and the ability to filter the information to ensure all posts received are specifically interesting to the user. This is the key to our thinking keep the user happy and the businesses will come
Businesses are charged 5c per post per user, for the very targeted audience who fit the exact profile of the post, and have asked to be provided with the information. 10c is charged to businesses whenever a user saves the post to use, as this is very likely purchaser. This compares with the average Google Adwords click cost of 93c.
Building followers of businesses creates great customer loyalty, with new customers being introduced through social media, word-of-mouth recommendations, and sharing of business deals and new product releases between friends. This does not require any tracking, profiling, or invasion of the users privacy to promote businesses and their products or services. This "User-Demand" on-line advertising concept will become the norm over the next few years, according to CEO, Ellis.

Let's face, when it comes to shopping, most men can use some help. A lot of them would rather sit through a root canal than walk the streets of New Canaan looking for a gift. But is almost here (Tuesday) and most women are expecting their boyfriends, fiances, and husbands to show some effort on what is a special day for them.
"As far as I'm concerned," said Lisa Cito, sale consultant for Space.NK on Elm Street. "When a man goes out and spends the time shopping, that's just so adorable and I think that's romantic in and of itself. It's really adorable."
Added Diane Roth, owner of on Park Street, "Don't make it guess work. We don't have ESP. Don't get all caught up on how much you're spending. Tell us who the person is and we can probably pick out the right size and it won't come back. She'll be happy, you'll be happy, and we'll be happy."
Here are a few ideas for those men who might be challenged when it comes to buying a gift for their loved one on Valentine's Day.
No man can ever go wrong with roses. They are a symbol of Valentine's Day and loved by every woman. They are safe and an easy choice. on Cherry Street can make an arrangement of a dozen roses in a vase for $135.
"Monday will be the day when the phones will be ringing off the hook," said Madeline Macanka, owner of the shop. "It happens every year, guys get back to their desks in the office and go, 'Oh my God, it's Valentine's Day tomorrow.'"
The day after is also big for Bon Fleur. That's when they get orders for "Doghouse Bouquets" from men who really disappointed their loved ones on Valentine's Day and try to make up for it.
Women love lingerie for Valentine's Day but most men are embarassed to go in a store to buy it or have a clue what to get. Susan Langford of fine lingerie and swimwear, has a few tips for men shopping for lingerie.
- Size "Peek into their drawers and see what size their bra size is and find out what size their clothing is. If it's not comfortable for them, it's not going to make them feel pretty and sexy."
- Occasion "Is it going to be hot date night, having a romantic evening at home, or are you going away? There are different moods and you should have the right lingerie for it."
- Age "You don't want to do garter belt and edible panties for the wrong age group.
For this Valentine's Day, Langford recommends Baby Doll Chemife's ($80-$400).
Special Treatment
For those men looking to truly pamper the special ones in their lives, the is offering a nice deal.
"We have a facial treatment and body wrap," said Megan Keane, sales consultant at Cosmetic Boutique. "It's a great gift. You're giving her relaxation and she's getting to pamper herself. And the benefit to the guy is that she's going to look great afterwards." ($250 for 90 minutes)
Jewelry is always a popular gift on Valentine's Day. Make sure you know if she favors gold or silver. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
"I recommend higher end jewelry on Valentine's Day as opposed to every day jewelry," said Liz Skidd, keyholder at . "They should definitely be open to asking what we would suggest. And they should be more perceptive before they go out to buy and find out what she actually wears so they can complement that jewelry as opposed to getting them something they don't like."
New Canaan has one of the best chocolate shops in the area in the . It's a wonderland for a woman's sweet tooth. Susan Gilissen, co-owner of the shop, says, "We have so many different beautiful things, "We have little boxes made up from $12 to $55 or more. We have things made up so they can just pick up and go," she added. "If they know what their sweetheart likes, we have boxes they can come in and fill with what they want. If she likes truffles, they can fill it with truffles. They can get very creative."
So guys, there are no excuses. There is plenty of time, plenty of choices, and everything is right here in New Canaan.
Don't mess it up.

Shanghai Winter Garden [Millbrae]
I've been searching for thick Shanghai Style Flat Noodles for a while, so Shanghai Winter Garden's sign for "handmade noodles" caught my eye recently. The menu calls many of the dishes "Shanghai fill-in-blank" in English, but there were a few dishes I thought were Shanghainese that aren't qualified that way, and others that weren't Shanghainese that were called "Shanghai X." There are many Sichuan dishes throughout the menu.
The servers' English wasn't great, but I learned that the dough for their noodles is rolled out by hand (not with a machine) and they're cut into noodles with a knife. Alas, they were not the thick Shanghai Style Flat Noodles I've been looking for, but they're still very good and fresh. The noodles in the Shanghai Style Stir Fried Chow Mein ( 手工粗炒面 ) were almost identical to tagliatelle in texture, average width, height, and appearance. They were prepared too oily, so next time I'll get the noodles in a soup-- puffed up in soups throughout the restaurant, they looked delicious.
The Xiao Long Bao were decent but the soup and meatball had too mellow a flavor. The majority held together nicely and had thin wrappers.
last time i walked by this place noon time (on a weekend?), it was empty. decided not to go in.
background: Nelson Lee, owner, used to run Winter Garden (?)on broadway in s.f. at least a decade or 2 ago.
N. Lee started making May Lin hunan chile sauce there. sold the eatery. open an eatery in burlingame. eventually sold both eatery and May LIn Hunan sauce.
when S.W.G. opened, big splashy ads appeared in TsingTao newspaper claiming linkage to an eatery in Hong Kong with the same name. the crowds appeared and eventually vanished.
haven't ate the food here. the food at previous eateries good but it was a novelty then.
Not the specific style you're seeking, but you might want to check out the hand shaved noodles at Su Hong in Palo Alto.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
There are very few problems in life that can be rectified with a single solution. Such is the case with ensuring a strong sales tax base for a community such as Norman. Rightly or wrongly, a municipal government relies on sales tax for a large portion of its funding. Without a growing sales tax base, the ability of Norman to fund first responders, quality parks and better roads becomse a much more difficult task.
For the last fiscal year, the city underperformed, with sales tax collections coming in under projections and below both the state as a whole and below our surrounding communities.
Action to strengthen the growth rate in sales tax revenue is required by both consumers and government entities at the local, state and federal levels.
The city of Norman recently invested in the improvement of our fiscal situation by adding a retail recruitment position to city staff. A position long established in many other communities, the recruiter will help make sure Norman is on the radar for companies looking for new markets.
Sometimes retail development comes organically to a community, but often, a community must market itself in a competitive retail environment. Kudos to the foresight of the city council as they continue to look for other ways to strengthen our retail environment.
On the state and federal levels, legislators must finally recognize the disproportionate advantage given to online retailers in the retail sales arena. Let's be clear. Sales tax is legally due on every purchase, whether made online or in our local stores. The difference lies in who is responsible for remitting the tax: the consumer or the retailer.
With online purchases, the sales tax burden is on the consumer, whom too often neglects the remittance on their state tax form. It's hard to blame them. The burden should be on the online retailer, just as it is for our local merchants. It is up to our legislators to bring parity to this system in an equitable manner.
Finally, and ultimately, it is up to you, the consumer. Spending your dollars on purchases locally is the single most effective method to ensure a stronger fiscal environment for the city and a robust and growing retail environment in Norman.
Our local businesses fund our houses of worship, our Little Leagues and charitable organizations. Perhaps you may save a dollar with amazon.com on occasion or spend an extra $5 in gas to save $6 by shopping out of town.
But remember those retailers won't fund your local United Way. The revenue spent elsewhere won't ensure there is a police officer close by when needed or keep your neighborhood park maintained.
We must all focus our attention and resources on creating a strong and dynamic sales tax base for Norman. Our community is worth it.
John Woods
president and CEO, Norman Chamber of Commerce

Windows Stability Guard is a rogue anti-spyware
program from the Rogue.FakeVimes family. This program is classified as a
rogue as it displays false information in order to trick you into
purchasing the program. This particular variant is spread via two
methods. The first method is the use of hacked web sites that exploit
visitor's vulnerable programs in order to install the rogue without
their permission. The second method uses web sites that display fake
online anti-malware scanners that pretend to scan your computer, state
that it is infected, and then prompt you to download and install Windows
Stability Guard in order to clean it.
Once the rogue is installed on your computer it will be configured to
start automatically when Windows starts. Once started it will perform a
fake scan and then state that there are numerous infections present. If
you attempt to use the program to remove these infections, though, it
will state that you first need to purchase it before it can do so. This
is a scam as the scan results are all fake, and in many cases, the
infected files do not even exist on your computer. Therefore, please
ignore the scan results and do not purchase the program.

Walnut has a new eatery.
Capriotti's Sandwich Shop opened today in the Village at Snow Creek shopping center near Starbucks and Nature's Juice.

The eatery's signature sandwich is the Bobbie, which was voted "The Greatest Sandwich in America" by thousands of readers across the country and reported by AOL.com, company officials said.
The Bobbie is made with fresh hand-pulled turkey, cranberry sauce, homemade stuffing, and a touch of mayo.
Capriotti's also has been named one of the "10 Great Places for a Surprising Sandwich" by USA Today and recently was a winner in the "Best of" awards in Delaware, Las Vegas, Dallas, Quad Cities, Eastern Shore and San Diego.
Other award-winning sub include the Capastrami, which features hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and coleslaw and the hot Cheese steak, made Delaware style with white American cheese.
The shop also has vegetarian options and hand-prepared, unique salads.

Sure, the Monster Lil' Jamz are tiny. But their sound? Not so much. After you put them in your ears and hear them for the first time, you won't believe that what you just heard came from such small earbuds. Lil' Jamz can produce low, tight bass with plenty of punch and yet still give you crystal-clear sound on all of your favorite songs. The truth of just how good these half-pint headphones sound may be a little easier to swallow when you know the whys and hows. You see, Monster already had plenty of experience designing great headphones. After making some of the best-sounding sets in the world, they decided to see just how small they could go. The result? The Lil' Jamz. Monster put some of their best audio technology into an itty-bitty, solid, metal shell free from resonance.

MANKATO — A man was arrested this morning in the Mankato hilltop area following a vehicular police chase that ended with a foot pursuit of the fleeing suspect.
Mankato police said they received a 911 call about 7:30 a.m. from a male employee of Verizon Wireless store on Madison Avenue, who reported that an unknown person had accosted him in a parking lot adjacent to the store.
The employee said the suspect flattened one of his car tires with a puncture, but the employee drove off anyway out of fear for his safety.
The employee called police as he was being pursued by the suspect, who was driving a pickup truck.
About 45 minutes later an officer located the suspect's vehicle. The driver didn't stop on command and a pursuit ensued in the hilltop area as the pickup driver attempted to ram squad cars.
A Blue Earth County Sheriff's deputy eventually rammed the truck with his squad car, forcing the truck onto a residential boulevard in the Fair Street area.
The suspect then took off running, was apprehended after a half-block chase and taken to jail.
Charges are pending. No names have been released.

Computer Science
Work with a Faraday Cage. Learn to stay a step ahead of cyber criminals. Experiment with a 3D printer and robotics. Refurbish scrapped computers in our lab. Lakeland's computer science program is an all-encompassing foray into the ever-changing world of computers and how they work. Here, you won't focus on just programming, database or system analysis. You'll learn it all, with multiple classes that span all disciplines.
"As a computer science student at Lakeland, you don't have to specialize," says Cynthia Lindstrom, assistant professor of computer science, who has a doctorate in computing and information technology and has more than 20 years of corporate computer science experience. "In fact, you can't specialize here. You will be a generalist; you will know a little bit about everything. And that's what businesses are looking for today."
Land with a big company
Recent Lakeland College computer science graduates have landed jobs at Briggs & Stratton and General Electric in Milwaukee, Kohler Co. in Kohler and The Manitowoc Company in Manitowoc, among many others. In addition, Lindstrom says, internships are a regular part of the program.
"One of the best things students can put on their résumés is that they have actually worked, hands-on, with many of the companies in our area. We have numerous internships going on every term and during the summer, and we try to get our students internships that match their interests."

Snapshot of Success
Name: Adam Beltran
Hometown: Sheboygan Falls
Title: Programmer
Business: ACUITY
Eighteen years after graduating from high school, Adam graduated from college.
Between ceremonies, he worked at a couple of Sheboygan factories and got an associate's degree before enrolling at Lakeland in 2010. Now he's excelling at one of the most highly regarded companies in Wisconsin – ACUITY, where he writes and modifies programs for commercial insurance.
"It's awesome," he says of his job. "It's very challenging. I only know a fraction of what I will know a year from now. It probably takes between two and two-and-a-half years to learn everything."
Adam's interview process at ACUITY, which included a phone conversation and two personal visits, totaled about eight hours. He says Lakeland's liberal arts based education and its computer science curriculum thoroughly prepared him to take on the competition. For example, few state colleges teach COBOL language, which happens to be a staple atACUITY. Adam also lauds Lakeland's career development department, which helped him polish his resume and introduced him to job fairs, mock interviews and speed networking.
"Lakeland really reinforced a couple of key things for me," Adam says. "One is to think for yourself; don't just go along with everyone else all the time. And the other is that when you make a claim, either verbally or on paper, you have to be prepared to back it up with evidence.
"Overall, what Lakeland does is open your eyes to the world and help you understand things on a macro level. It really makes you a well-rounded person."
Computer Science at Lakeland
One of Lakeland's newer and most popular classes is forensics, which involves the discovery and recovery of data – often as it relates to crime and cybercrime. This type of expertise is more and more valued, particularly in the areas of law enforcement and corporate law.
That's where a Faraday Cage comes in. In a Faraday Cage, a computer is shielded from Wi-Fi signals and therefore can't be accessed or tampered with remotely. It's called a "computer seizure." Information can't be retrieved or erased. It's a vital tool in legal cases and the use of a Faraday Cage allows computer evidence to hold up in court.
"Companies expect our graduates to know how to prevent cybercrime," says Lindstrom. "Forensics is a fun course and the students love it."
