Even if we don't count those photography buffs from the Finns, the Galaxy S III and the iPhone 4S also have 1.4 micron pixels in their sensors, and we know the larger the pixel "bucket", the more light it can soak in.
Thus the Optimus G is unlikely to wow in low light conditions, judging on camera specs alone, but, still, any improvement from LG's current high-ends will inevitably make the upcoming LG flagship more appealing in the camera department too.

Newest Premium Device from LG Sets High Benchmark for Performance and Usability
SEOUL, August, 28, 2012 – LG Electronics (LG) revealed its newest premium mobile device with the announcement of the Optimus G, a high-end smartphone that offers powerful performance, an elegant and sleek design, and an innovative user experience. As the first LTE device featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon™ S4 Pro Quad-Core processor, Optimus G will set the foundation for every future premium smartphone from LG.
Best-of-Best Technologies
To offer the best smartphone to consumers, LG gathered industry-leading partners and technologies to develop the Optimus G. In collaboration with Qualcomm, LG developed the Optimus G with the goal to be the first LTE smartphone with the Snapdragon™ S4 Pro CPU. LG also joined hands with vertically-integrated sister companies LG Chem, LG Display and LG Innotek for the ultimate battery capacity, viewing and user experience.
Next Generation Quad-Core with LTE
The Optimus G will be the first commercial and global smartphone to offer the Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) processor with a Quad-Core Krait CPU, LTE supported capabilities, and the newest generation Adreno™ 320 GPU. The Snapdragon S4 Pro runs at 1.5GHz and features Asynchronous Symmetric Multiprocessing (aSMP), which enables each core to power up and down independently, for maximum performance with better battery life. Furthermore, the Adreno 320 is over three times faster than the Adreno 225 found in previous Snapdragon processors for an enhanced gaming experience with faster frame rates, smoother play and support for higher HD resolution displays.
Cutting-edge Display and Outstanding Battery Efficiency
With help from LG Display, the Optimus G sports a beautiful 4.7-inch WXGA True HD IPS+ Display with 320ppi high pixel density (1280x768 pixels) and Stripe RGB IPS Panel with 15:9 aspect ratio. LG Display pushed the boundaries of its technology to offer True HD IPS+ Display, which is sharper and crisper with color accuracy of sRGB 100 percent to show natural and life-like images.
Moreover, the Optimus G will be the first smartphone to be equipped with LG Innotek and LG Display's newly developed G2 Touch Hybrid Display for touchscreen panels (TSP). The G2 Touch Hybrid Display is thinner than current TSPs and offers the slimmest panel display with no diffused reflection for clearer and sharper visibility, even outdoors. Thanks to the new technology, the thickness of the screen panel has been reduced and the screen itself is much stronger to withstand damage from impact.
Lastly, LG Chem developed a high-density 2,100mAh battery that provides more power capacity and prolonged charging cycles. The new battery technology extended the battery lifespan to 800 cycles at 80 percent charging capabilities, much greater than the lifespan of 500 cycles in regular phone batteries.
Enhanced UX for Productivity and Entertainment
Whether users need functionality or fun in their daily lives, the Optimus G has it all, including a high-resolution 13.0MP camera and unique and differentiated user experience (UX) features, such as:
Live Zooming allows zooming in and out while viewing a video;
Dual Screen Dual Play, not only allows mirroring between the smartphone and a TV, it also has the ability to display different content on each screen. For example, a slide presentation can be displayed on the TV while the Optimus G shows the accompanying speaking notes;
QMemoTM, first seen in the Optimus Vu:, allows users to write, draw, or jot a memo directly on the captured screen with their finger for sharing instantly with others as an attachment or a URL;
Time Catch Shot allows users to select and save the best shot among the images taken just before the shutter button is depressed;
Cheese Shutter takes a photo when a voice command is spoken.
The added UX features are anticipated to provide instant and intuitive productivity to complete tasks beyond simple multitasking.
Innovative and Modern Look
LG maintained its differentiated design philosophy with the Optimus G. The Optimus G is encased in an eye-catching slim body epitomizing timeless beauty that perfectly demonstrates LG's design philosophy. Premium glass is utilzied on the back cover with a polarized glass pattern that offers a clean, modern look. The G2 Touch Hybrid Display contributed significantly to the design of the Optimus G as it reduced the thickness of the device enabling Optimus G to fit more comfortably in the hand. And the jet black front display flows smoothly into the body for a seamless look with no gaps.
"We are confident that users will have a superior experience with everything that we're offering in the Optimus G," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "Optimus G isn't just another high-performance phone with the latest bells and whistles. It's a collaboration of some of the best component makers on the planet coming together for a singular cause, to develop a smartphone that stands out in a sea of me-too devices."
NTT DOCOMO will be the first to unveil a Japanese edition of the Optimus G. The global version of the device will be launched in Korea in September, followed by other markets worldwide.

The galaxy s3 is the winner when it come to its sexy design :-)
10. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
actually, the samsung galaxy s3 doesn't look as good as the htc one x, the new optimus G also looks good and simple,the material also looks good, the build quality looks better than the galaxy s3 build quality
if i am asked to choose any one of the 3 phones, i would choose the galaxy s3, but htc one x is the winner when it comes to sexy design
17. noriya (Posts: 12; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
i don't think gs3 had a sexy design,i think it like alien design.
36. pokharkarsaga (Posts: 365; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
LG Optimus G phone of the year 2012.it straight away beats Samsung galaxy s3 & HTC one X in specs& perfomance.i don't think people will sacrifice specs and performance for design.
118. doejon (Posts: 360; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
phone of the year is galaxy note 2
28. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
are u on crack?
31. maverick786us (Posts: 134; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
The design of this smartphone is far better than Galaxy S3
55. kartik4u98 (Posts: 511; Member since: 19 May 2012)
why do you think so? After handling s3 I loved the overall feel and look of the smartphone..
P.s- I do agree that I hated the design when saw on the computer..
37. Angkor (Posts: 108; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Is it time for a "drop test"? against iPhone, HTC X, Moto Razr, and Galaxy S3.
39. -box- (Posts: 3879; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
It looks like a larger, more modern Prada...
...oh wait...
77. XperiaUser (unregistered)
but i think galaxy has a wrost design among all . if i want round corner then we have htc one x and for sharp corner we have Optimus G. and i luv its design.
Galaxy S3 -- Bulky design , designed for human but not from the earth
106. RiceKnight (Posts: 4; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
Well I'd have to disagree, although I can see how it is a chicks design :)
I kinda like this this LG phone, but to be honest that might just be me being in love with the 320 ^_^;
120. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
i know you're being sarcastic this time around wendy.....lol got everybody believing you hahahaha
130. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
if you call The S3 sexy, i don't think you know whats the definition of ''style''...
suppose you're a galaxy S3 owner.....
2. mercorp (Posts: 985; Member since: 28 Jan 2012)
Peope who bought the optimus 4x hd will really be dissapointed...
Xiaomi should better watch out.
15. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
xiaomi is a china only phone.
24. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1058; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
It will also possibly come to Europe
I imagine that they won't maintain the prices though.
32. MeoCao (unregistered)
Xiaomi will obviously use the same tactics as early Japanese and Korean companies: use domestic market to make quantity and make profits in developed market.
43. Angkor (Posts: 108; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Xiaomi is not only phone made by Chinese company there are Lenovo, Oppo, BBK, Haier, Kejian, Konka, Meizu, Ningbo Bird, TCL, and ZTE and more.
114. LostInTheRed (Posts: 85; Member since: 03 May 2012)
He meant Xaiomi is found in China only. Not that it's China's only manufacturer.
115. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
yea.. what he said! :)
26. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
they will be disappointed... :/
and I still won't buy it until JB isn't released. i don't care if they announce it, i want it to come!
51. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Im not going to buy it unless they promise unlocked bootloaders, leaked updates, and fast official update times. LG has possibly the worst update record of all major Android manufacturers.
62. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
that is why i want a nexus, or a flagship phone.
sgs line gets updated... sensation, desire and one x gets updates but are slow... lg: crap.
65. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
im still steamed that my stock android "with google" Tegra2 tablet has never seen anything past 3.1 officially. Thats just ridiculous.. ITS STOCK CODE!! lol.
86. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
....No one promises leaked updates.
There is such thing as public tester programs like HTC Elevate where a few get early access to RUUs and the like, but usually leaks are hard to come by.
88. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
samsung has a website they leak all their updates to.www.samsungfirmwares.com.
They let XDA test them :)
90. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
That's not an official Samsung site, and that's a parked domain with nothing on it.
Once again, no OEM has official leaks. That's why they're called leaks. HTC has it's Elevate program, Motorola has their soak tests, Samsung probably has internal testing. More likely than not, they all overlook the leaking of firmware to dev communities as long as nothing meant to stay secret for good reason is leaked.
Leaks happen because there is a big enough community that there are liasons that can get in touch with people on the inside to get early access.
94. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i didnt say it was an official samsung site.
Apparently they had a name change. Here is the active site.
It is a repository for all sorts of unreleased firmware direct from samsung. Yes, they do their internal testing, but they also release it to the wild. Didnt you ever wonder where all that crazy development for samsung phones came from? There is all sorts of test roms released by samsung to the community. It was the communities response and their ability to make sammy's software better that convinced Sammy to hire people direct from XDA and Cyanogenmod to work on their software... including Steve Klondik.. aka Cyanogen himself.
you speak in finalities without proof. There is no such thing as "no OEM does X". Unless you have direct proof, you shouldnt think that way. Samsung IS VERY VERY modder friendly. That has been a large reason for their success while others like HTC who USED to be very modder friendly closed the doors. They are all reopening their doors slowly but surely to compete with samsung for Modder love... which they've had the bulk of for a while.
99. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Yes, and xda has all sorts of unreleased firmware direct from HTC. The HTC One X had at least the 1.27 leak, 2.05, 2.15, and an early release of the 2.17 firmwares. What's your point?
No, you shouldn't speak in finalities without proof, because no company has the official policy of leaking internal firmware being tested. You are claiming that it is for some OEMs. Unless you can produce proof that says OEMs do, your argument is invalid. Samsung didn't get a dev community because they leaked firmware, it's because they kept unlocked bootloaders out of the box. It is a far more reasonable statement to say that the reason why firmware gets leaked is because there is such a big dev community. More devs means more people that can try to communicate with people inside the company, and gain access to firmware meant exclusively for internal use.
101. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
they are not unlocked of the box.. they are just incredibly easy to unlock.
I've been using a samsung phone for over 2 years now.. trust me, they leaked the crap out of their updates on purpose to make the loudest complainers happy when the SGS1 wasnt getting basic updates.. all of a sudden the flood gates opened and there was a new "leaked" rom from Samsung nearly every week or 2 for a long time for the SGS1. Now they do it for pretty much every major phone and minor phone they have. Your talking 4 firmware updates.. im talking hundreds. Heck there have been 10 in the last few months just for the SGS1 which hasnt seen an "official" update since Android 2.2 over a year ago and is over 2 years old now. The SGS3 has had dozens already this month. Heck, unofficially its had 4.1 for a good bit now. The SGS2 has had unofficial 4.04 for quite some time, and the SGS1 got unofficial 2.3.6 upgrades ages ago.
Samsung has an unofficial policy of leaking their stuff out to the community, and has for quite some time. Its a way of free advertising by word of mouth. ROMs are made off this constant influx of releases which keeps the ever growing communities in XDA quite happy and talkative. Some test roms are wonderful, and some are not. They all have slight tweaks from the previous leak.
Anyways, I think your just continually trying to split hairs with me to argue for no reason. You keep trying to tell me how things are... without any proof. I'm telling you what I see and have found, with proof.
104. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Uh, I managed to flash a Galaxy S1 and S2 without ever jumping through anything that required unlocking a bootloader. There's a flashcounter but that's it.
Then that's great, but that's not an official testing program. More likely than not, it's Samsung turning a blind eye to someone who is leaking test releases on the inside.
111. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you really are just trying to argue just to argue arent you? good lord.
the galaxy series uses a 1 click root/unroot script to get root access. That is not the same as flashing roms.
3. kartik4u98 (Posts: 511; Member since: 19 May 2012)
iT's a beasT, no Doubt!!!
But why the hell I don't like LG??
11. abdane (Posts: 478; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
hahaha same question i asked my self
why dont i like LG for some reason ? hehe :P
25. Jericho (Posts: 302; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
My Brother always ask the same question but opposite why do you like LG!! and its b/c i dont care about the updates(LONG LIVE xda).
56. kartik4u98 (Posts: 511; Member since: 19 May 2012)
I think a hardcore LG fan is trolling here...!
23. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
same here. maybe because of it's UI? it's too cartoony.
58. kartik4u98 (Posts: 511; Member since: 19 May 2012)
Nope..for the ui XDA is there alive...
I hate their aftersales support,design and feel..
Here in India LG is fail..people consider it for ..refrigerators and yea microwaves! :-)
4. GuiltyBystander (Posts: 199; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
Does it have MicroSD?
5. matrix_neo (Posts: 321; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Specs are great but the design is not interesting... if put it side by side with galaxy s3 and one x, people may ask what brand is this??
Samsung and htc has already created beautiful design as well as sony, but lg, no offense, looks like a notepad.
20. MeoCao (unregistered)
Design is top notch, materials look premium. polarized glass should be stunning but a little heavy though.
41. -box- (Posts: 3879; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Tell them it's the same company that makes the Prada phone and has kept pretty consistent design language for the last 5 years or so
6. bloodline (Posts: 694; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
this with stock android...winning
7. MeoCao (unregistered)
Can there be a comparison? It's a blowout by LG.
This phone will also put new iPhone to shame.
8. itiswhatitis (Posts: 423; Member since: 23 Jan 2012)
Time to break my piggy bank take my money LG !!!!
9. Peter98 (Posts: 119; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
This is the best design among the three. The best hardware, the best camera but about software? I dunno. Overall, the best!
12. Aeires (unregistered)
This is why I'd love to see a LG Nexus phone.
49. MeoCao (unregistered)
Well, this is unexpected from LG, early samples of the phone were very disappointing.
may be SS troubles and this super phone will change the balance of smart phone power.
13. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
On paper it sounds awesome. Not a big fan of the huge amount glass filling the thing. That screams me-too iphone 4... and we all know how horrid the drop quality was on that thing.. now imagine an even bigger all glass phone being dropped. I was hoping that design would die with the i4s.
Other than that, it looks nice, looks great on paper, and has potential. Have to wait for a commercial release review/benchmark for final decisions though. Definitely has the power to put LG back on the map if its done right.
16. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
also, since its a minimalist rounded rectangle with a centered screen, its apparently going to be liable for $30-40 a handset "protection money" to Apple lest they be sued as well.
27. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1058; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
I agree with all except with one thing: LG won't be liable for having a "rectagle with round corners, big bezels up and donw and metallic strips on the side" design.
52. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
that prior art defense didnt work for samsung. Just because thats an LG phone do u think that Apple wont try to extort them?? According to Apple, they probably think they invented LG.. heck, they probably have a paper napkin drawing of LG's head quarters patented just in case.
87. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
There's a pretty obvious plastic ring that sets the glass below the plastic, so on flat surfaces the glass doesn't touch the surface.
Should greatly help drop protection compared to GS3 and One X which have protruding glass.
18. Angkor (Posts: 108; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
It is look like iPhone rectangular and round edge, Apple is waiting until it hit the market and Apple will file lawsuits on LG with in-cell display technology is an Apple patent.
46. -box- (Posts: 3879; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
LG has a strong prior art defense though with its own original Prada, as well as successive devices since.
If apple sued all its hardware partners, I would hope they wouldn't renew their contracts with them, and soon no one would want to deal with them. "I'd love to take your money, but I won't because I'd later be sued to get it all - or more - back after you decided to bully the world courts into thinking you're original and special"
97. jroc74 (Posts: 5192; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
I gave this a thumbs up cuz Apple might really be that insane to try to sue LG...
I would LOVE to see that lawsuit tho....please Apple sue LG for their phone...please....
19. sadaff (Posts: 12; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
I so badly wanna buy this but what matters to me is will LG support it properly because what they are doing with 2x and black etc. then having huge specs will be of no use then if the company will keep you outdated!!
22. RapidCat (Posts: 351; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
Why not compare with international s iii
33. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
this is still better. every site u read, e S4 Pro is e top. even better Exynos 4. this phone is a S3 and iPhone killer

I've been playing this the last few days when I'm not deep into a music game and just have a few min to kill. Gotta say, I was impressed with this game early on but deeper into it... and it had me smiling in amazement. The Volcano Level. Seriously if you haven't played that far... play that far and then finish that level. Wow that was amazing. I'm looking forward to the rest of the game.
I think if I were to compare this, I'd probably put it along side Mikey Shorts as a sort of platform racer. It is an autorunner, but it is all level based and it's a competition too so it's got that racing element. Still, that whole deal in Mikey Shorts where you replay levels to get better scores really applies here as well.
Anyway, wanted to see if we had a thread on the game.. and boom... it does... but wanted to just praise this game. Fantastic experience thus far. I'm glad I gave it a try and kept it around for when I was ready for it.

Hockey: Illiana Blackbirds already turning heads in inaugural season in Dyer
By TOMMY WILLIAMS Post-Tribune correspondent March 7, 2013 11:04PM

Updated: April 9, 2013 11:56AM
DYER — It's becoming apparent that the Blackhawks are the gold standard of the National Hockey League.
The Illiana Blackbirds of the Minnesota Junior Hockey League have been a success in their first year of existence and hope to keep that success going tonight when they begin a weekend second-round best-of-three-series with the Wooster Oilers (6:50 puck drop at the Midwest Ice Rink in Dyer).
"The teams I was most successful on had players who were accountable to play the same way and knew what they were supposed to do," said Illiana coach Reid Simpson, who played two seasons with the Blackhawks.
"Successful teams have interchangable parts. You can take any guy and put them in any situation and he'll know how to function."
The Blackbirds have indeed functioned well, not quite like the Blackhawks, but pretty good for a first-year team.
The Blackbirds finished with a 26-17 record, good for second place in the Great Lakes division, and won their first playoff series last weekend, sweeping Central Wisconsin.
And Simpson says the Blackbirds have drawn a good fan base, pulling around 500 fans per home game.
"You teach them exactly how you want them to play and then they go out and execute," Simpson said. "And that's what our team has been doing."
A good example of the grit on this team is Crown Point native Nicholas Townes, who was hospitalized earlier this season and wanted to come home for his final year in juniors.
"Since he got here he has stepped up and turned up the ability of our team," Simpson said. "That was key for us, to get some of the local players as opposed to going to New York or Minnesota or different places out east."
The move has paid off.
Townes has only played 16 games for the Blackbirds but has 13 goals and 18 assists (the Blackbirds have lost only four times since his arrival). There are no fewer than six area-born Blackbirds contributing, including Beau Butcher from St. John, who Simpson says is a solid, physical defenseman.
"I firmly believe that in our division, we have as good a chance as any one of winning our division if we play the right way," Simpson said. "You have to follow the game plan and execute and if we do that, I think we'll have a chance."

City's 21st Annual Alexandria Earth Day a Success!
More than 2400 residents, students, families, business owners, and exhibitors attended the City of Alexandria's 21st annual Alexandria Earth Day and Arbor Day celebration at Ben Brenman Park on Saturday, April 26, making it one of the City's most successful Earth Day events to date!Sponsored by the City's Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities (RPCA), the Department of Transportation and Environmental Services (T&ES), and the Alexandria Environmental Policy Commission (EPC), this year's theme was "Are You an Eco-Citizen?" highlighted by the fourth annual Upcycling Showcase. The showcase featured students from Alexandria City Public Schools, who modeled fashions created from upcycled materials. The showcase also highlighted music, dance, literature and visual arts produced by the students.Exhibitors included City agencies and organizations dedicated to protecting public health and the environment. Exhibitors provided environmental educational activities for the whole family. On display at the event were a hybrid Trolley, an electric car fueled by energy generated from the Covanta Energy-from-Waste facility, and other green vehicles. Additional activities included the Annual Earth Day Tree Sale and the Arbor Day tree planting. Live music was performed by local Alexandria band Fuse Box.Alexandria Renew Enterprises and the Alexandria Environmental Policy Commission awarded the UpCycle Creative Reuse Center with the Ellen Pickering Environmental Excellence Award.

26th Annual Potomac River Watershed CleanupThe 26th Annual Potomac River Watershed Cleanup was a success! On Saturday, April 5th, the City's Transportation and Environmental Services (T&ES),Office of Environmental Quality (OEQ) and Solid Waste Division, in conjunction with the Alice Ferguson Foundation, hosted two cleanup sites in Alexandria at Four Mile Run Park:
Thanks to the more than 90 volunteers who came out to participate in the event, 110 bags of trash and more than 50 pounds of loose bulk trash were collected and removed from Four Mile Run! Residents, families, scouts, students and local businesses all joined forces and came out to support the event. Some of the many interesting items found include: fire extinguisher, grocery cart, fishing pole, and dozens of tennis balls.
The Alice Ferguson Foundation created the watershed-wide cleanup in 1989 and has overseen the collection of well over 5 million pounds of trash. This year alone, 7,791 volunteers at 251 sites in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. collected 161 tons of trash, including 595 tires, 108,850 recyclable bottles, 29,200 plastic bags, and 15,300 cigarette butts.You can visit the Potomac River Watershed Cleanup webpage to find out more information about the annual event.
Eco-Cities are places where people can live healthier and economically productive lives while reducing their impact on the environment. They work to harmonize existing policies, regional realities, and economic and business markets with their natural resources and environmental assets. Eco-Cities strive to engage all citizens in collaborative and transparent decision making, while being mindful of social equity concerns.
Early in 2007, under the Mayor and City Council's direction, the City of Alexandria partnered with Virginia Tech's Department of Urban Affairs and Planning located in Alexandria to develop a new and holistic strategic environmental planning process called Eco-City Alexandria. The ultimate goal was to create an Eco-City Charter and Environmental Action Plan to guide Alexandria toward environmental sustainability. The Alexandria Environmental Policy Commission, a Council-appointed volunteering group of 13 citizens with expertise and interest in the environmental field, is the project's principal advisor along with representatives from Alexandria City Council and City Staff. The Director of the City's Office of Environmental Quality serves as the City's project manager.
In 2007, the Eco-City Alexandria team conducted an inventory of existing City programs to create "Eco-City Alexandria: A Green-Ventory of City Environmental Policies, Plans and Programs". In addition, Virginia Tech examined best practices from across the country and abroad to create a Compendium of Model Programs and Practices.
In 2008, the project team focused on the development of an Eco-City Charter. An extensive public outreach campaign was devised to ensure that the Charter reflects the wishes and priorities of the citizens. A successful Eco-City Café was held to obtain public inputs required for the development of a draft Charter. This draft Charter was then released for public comment at the following annual Alexandria Earth Day. A very successful Eco-City Summit was then held to get additional public feedback on the draft Charter. The keynote speaker for this summit was Mayor Bob Harvey of the City of Waitakere, New Zealand, a pioneer of Eco-City and sustainability. The Eco-City Charter, one of the first of its kind in the country, was unanimously adopted by City Council in June 2008. This Charter encompasses the core values and ten guiding principles which is the basis for the Environmental Action Plan.
The Environmental Action Plan 2030 (EAP 2030) was adopted by City Council in June 2009 and follows the guiding principles outlined in the Eco-City Charter. It serves as a road map for City leaders and residents to implement the Eco-City Charter. The EAP 2030 outlines 48 goals, 50 targets and 353 actions for the next 20 years to lead the City towards environmental sustainability.
Sustainability is progress that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The central goal of sustainability is to provide the best outcomes for the human and natural worlds.
A sustainable community is an environmentally, economically, and socially healthy place where people can live, work and play for decades to come:

It's kinda a punk move for Brandao to do the "C'mon, let's fight" with a throatslit whilst backing away from Gambino.
Diego's doushebaggery at the end was pretty classless...
Good fight, Gambino definitely has potential..he pulled some slick moves
Man, Rogan's already gettin' on my nerves.
In the end, the only prize a fighter keeps is you. I only ask that you continue supporting all athletes. Keep supporting them, because in the end your applause is the only thing that remains. The rest is only an illusion. - Wanderlei to fans

Canned; Using headphones for monitoring
Okay let's talk monitoring, which is a fancy word for actually listening to what you are recording or have already recorded. There are basically two ways to monitor, via loudspeakers and via headphones. I'm hoping to address using loudspeakers in the next episode and I'll concentrate on headphones for this episode.
If you are going to do any serious recording on your Mac you need both a good set of speakers (and I don't mean the cheapy computer type) and a decent set of closed back headphones (not the "walkman" type.) The main reason for this is that if you're recording with a microphone and monitoring the recording with speakers or open type headphones you are almost sure to create a feedback loop. And feedback is both damaging to your hearing and your psyche.
Although you may be tempted to buy a cheap set of headphones, don't. There are some excellent headphones out there for under a hundred dollars and they are worth every penny.
I'll take a quick look at three brands that you can get for under a C-note. Specifically Sony MDR-7506s, AKG 240s and Sennheiser HD-260s. A listener recently e-mailed me about my choice of the Sony MDR-7506 headphones in my "best toys for under a hundred bucks" article. He had tried out the Sony, AKG240 and Sennnheiser HD-280 headphones. His contention was that the Sennheisers where acoustically superior and wondered why anyone would consider the two other models because of their "colored" sound.
I wrote back that besides acoustic accuracy, there are other factors to consider when choosing headphones. To quote my reply:
Truth in monitoring is probably the most subjective and complex area in all of pro-audio. It's like when gawd awful Yamaha NS-10s used to be the near field "standard" speaker in studios (yuk!). In essence almost all audio playback is "colored" unless you are in the exact same room with the same speakers that the mastering engineer used for a particular album. Headphone serve other purposes than just accurate monitoring, in fact I would argue that for true critical listening you need great speakers in a great room, something you're not going to get for under a $100. Now, what headphones are good for is hearing yourself sing or play when recording, listening to playback in less than ideal environments and as a portablPersonally I like the 7506's for several reasons. First they are more portable and louder (efficient) than the 240s or the HD280s. I've used AKG240s in the studio for years and yes they are excellent cans although the don't isolate you from external noise as well as the other two. The Sennheisers are very neutral and my only real gripe is that they break. The "fork" that mounts the ear cup has broken on several pairs that I've seen. I'm always throwing my Sonys in my bag and haven't broken a pair yet. As far as how they sound, I'm used to the Sony's and as my hearing deteriorates having something that you are familiar with becomes more important.
But the real bottom line is that you can't go wrong with any of these three models and buy whichever of them best suits you and your needs and taste.
Now let's take a look at how to use headphones while recording. The simplest set up is where you plug your headphones into the built-in Audio output of your Mac or audio interface hooked up to your Mac. This works sometimes but more often not the sound in your headphones is slightly delayed from what you are recording with the microphone. This is called latency, and is caused by the time that it takes for the computer to process the audio from analog from your mic to digital and back to analog for you headphones again. There are a couple of work-arounds for this situation. The first is reducing the audio buffer size. Most audio recording programs have some sort of buffer setting in their recording preferences menu. In the Case of GarageBand it's under Audio MIDI in the preferences menu. Set the radio button to "Minimum delay when playing instruments live." The second thing you can do is turn off monitoring for the track that you are recording. This allows you to hear the playback of your previously recorded tracks just not the track that you are recording. Since you can hear yourself acoustically this method can work. However a lot of vocalist and players like to hear effects on their voice and instruments as they record. If this is the case you are stuck with monitoring the record track and any resulting delay. This even applies to the next method that I'm going to talk about. Many higher end audio interfaces have a feature called "direct monitoring." This takes the takes the signal directly from your mic and mixes it with the sound of your previously recorded tracks from the computer. This method allows you to hear yourself without latency, however, like I mentioned before, it doesn't allow you to hear effects on your voice or instrument. Latency is less of a problem on really fast computers using dedicated internal sound cards but usually theses out of the budget range of the average recordist. You can also try to lighten the load on your computer's processor by "freezing" or locking previously recorded tracks.
One final note is that with headphones it's especially important to protect your hearing at all times. If you want to continue to enjoy your music later in life keep your monitoring levels low. Everybody's hearing deteriorates over time, but reasonable monitoring levels will help you keep your golden ears until your golden years.

If you attend an upcoming Esri conference and have the opportunity to attend a keynote presentation by Jack Dangermond, you will hear about three concepts.
"It's common in a dengue fever outbreak to first treat public places like schools for mosquitoes, but our results show the focus needs to be on residential networks," says Emory University disease ecologist Gonzalo Vazquez-Prokopec.
..The data from interviews of 2,000 people was plotted over time and space using geographic information systems (GIS) technology.
The general thinking is that common areas where the public gathers like schools or markets are key in the spread of the disease, but data from a study in Iquitos, Peru shows that literally neighbor visiting neighbor is how the mosquito born illness spreads. That means treatment of houses may be more important than the simplier to do treatments of public areas.

Among the services now available either via membership fees or at a preferred rate to hospitals in Indiana is GIS. The Indiana Rural Health Association (IRHA) will begin offering SuiteSTATS, package with a variety of enterprise IT services. Among them:
-EnvisionHIT, a GIS application that supports healthcare business planning and market intelligence to help determine whether hospital can or should expand vertical practice groups (such as orthopedics or oncology) or new service centers.
The CDPH created the Healthcare Associated Infections interactive map to deliver infection information to consumers that's less confusing. The map displays more than 300 California hospitals with symbols representing surgical infection rates for about a dozen procedures. Users click a symbol to generate a pop-up box disclosing the hospital's stats for different surgeries. Data reveals whether the facility's infection rates are lower, higher or equal to state or national averages.
From the About section of the map:
Publicly presenting information on individual hospitals' infection rates is a crucial part of the California Department of Public Health strategy to reduce healthcare associated infections (HAI). This map was created by Stamen Design and funded by California HealthCare Foundation. It replaces our earlier award-winning SSI map by the same team.
- GovTech
Penn State plans to announce the MOOC program to students and the public this spring, and initiate two or three classes taught by Penn State faculty, Weidemann said. The free online classes are estimated to contain up to 200,000 students.
There's no detail on how the PSU Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) might be different from others, nor which courses will be taught. Penn State's World Campus is now 15 years and serves 6000 undergrad and graduate students. The GIS certificate and MGIS degrees have been very successful. I am advisor to the MGIS program. And, it seems geospatial may play a role in the new MOOCs.
"I'd like to see a MOOC focused on digital mapping and geolocation, which now permeates every facet of our contemporary lives," [Anthony] Robinson [member of the University MOOC Committee and lead faculty for Penn State's online geospatial education programs] said. "There is a huge professional industry around this area and Penn State has enjoyed a reputation as a world leader in geography."

American Hardcore movie trailer - starring Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, D.O.A., Black Flag. Directed by Paul Rachman. Theatrical Release Date: 9/22/2006
Genre: Documentary
Rating: R
American Hardcore -- Inspired by Steven Blush's book 'American Hardcore: A Tribal History,' Paul Rachman's feature documentary debut is a chronicle of the underground hardcore punk years from 1979 to 1986. Interviews and rare live footage from artists such as Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, SS Decontrol and the Dead Kennedys.
American Hardcore -- The History of American Punk Rock 1980-1986
A documentary about the history of punk rock in America from 1980-1986. Generally unheralded at the time, the early 1980s hardcore punk rock scene gave birth to much of the rock music and culture that followed. There would be no Nirvana, Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers were it not for hardcore pioneers such as Black Flag, Bad Brains and Minor Threat. Hardcore was more than music, it was a social movement created by Reagan-era misfit kids. The participants constituted a tribe unto themselves, some finding a voice, others an escape in the hard-edged music. And while some sought a better world, others were just angry and wanted to raise hell. American Hardcore traces this lost subculture, from its early roots in 1980 to its extinction in 1986.

Submitted: 08-10-2009 by cliffrnatp
Stability is relative. Even today, with all the new skis on the market, the S1X is still (IMHO) a front running hi performance ski. For me, it is definitely more stable than the V10 (I sold mine after paddling the S1X), or the Mako 6. I am inland (Philadelphia), and don't get much ocean practice. So, for me, I will take all the stability I can get. I have not paddled the Think Legend, but understand it is also one of the "fast but not terribly tippy" boats. I mostly paddle K1s, so I find all skis are in general stable on flat water. But, the S1X to me is noticeably more stable in open water than many others. Yes, there is some bow slap. The volume is enough for me (185lbs) on east coast seas, that the bow rides hi enough. I like the lower volume. It feels sleeker, and is less effected by winds.
My only complaint of the boat (and it may just be personal), is the seating position. I prefer the V10,V12 Mako 6 and Think Evo cockpits. The S1X feels to be paddling up hill. I have heard this from other paddlers as well. I have also heard the S1x special is improved here. Mine is a fixed dual foot well that is a tiny too big for me, and my calves rest on the well. I have used the adjustable dual foot wells and found it a little better, but no where near the paddling position of the other listed boats. Note, I have never tried their single footwell.
The boat is light (24lbs) and very well built. The rudder system is by far the best in the business, and there are a ridiculous array of rudders available from Huki. I have personally seen several DNFs due to rudder problems that absolutely would not be an issue with the Hukis. I wish the others would follow suit. I have the wide seat, and am "almost" able to paddle the regular (narrower) seat. I fit the V10 perfectly, and the V12 too (32" jeans). For a guy like me (mid pack paddler) this boat is great. If I lived on the coast and paddled open water daily, stability would not be an issue at all, and I would probably get a V12 just for the seating comfort (a little more like a K1). But, I feel I am probably faster in the S1X due to the extra stability. It is also more relaxing to paddle because of this.
Comparing this to a thunderbolt (which I have owned), is to compare apples and oranges. I would compare with Epic v10 and V12, Mako 6, Think Legend, Custom Kayaks new Synergy etc. The Huki guys are great to deal with.

River City Extension perform at The Space in Hamden on May 29
River City Extension
w/ the Drowning Men and the Proud Flesh. $10 adv., $13 doors, 7 p.m., May 29. The Space, 295 Treadwell St., Hamden, thespace.tk
Joe Michelini does not claim to understand punk rock. He didn't grow up with it nor does he know enough about it nowadays to feel comfortable diving into the topic. "It has culture, it has history behind it. It's just one of things where you don't want to walk around and be like 'I know about punk rock music' unless you were there for it because some people were really there for it," he says. "Until I at least educate myself a little further on the subject, I'd never want to self-apply it at the risk of just being ignorant and not knowing what I'm talking about."
River City Extension, Michelini's solo project turned eight-piece that he started in 2007, carry themselves like a punk band who just happen to not play punk. River City enjoy spending time on introverted, carefully strummed folk tunes, but they can also play with the sincere giddiness of a destitute pack of buskers who've just seen a check for next month's rent glide into their guitar case. In a contradiction of his above quote, the Toms River, NJ-based River City have self-applied "punk" to themselves before — just not in an entirely earnest manner. "If you think about older chamber pop music being stuff coming out in the '60s ... I thought [our music] was like that but just maybe a little bit more aggressive, and so chamber punk was kind of a tongue-in-cheek term that we used," Michelini says, explaining the "chamber" part by referencing the instrumental elements — horns, strings, woodwinds — that make them "like a small orchestra."
Other signs indicate Michelini's latent punkness. His band's past indicates a firm familiarity with how any good young punk act should approach the concept of community. A while ago, Michelini would cook fans dinner as thanks for tour fund donations (he's especially into Italian food), and when I bring this subject up, he grows enthusiastic and mentions wanting to do more DIY-style shows that would encourage such setups in the future. In what's probably not a coincidence, River City are planning a pre-show barbecue for their Hamden date. "You eat with these people, you talk with them, you hang out with them and then you play the show," Michelini says, with his true punk colors finally coming into full bloom. "It's not a performer playing for a fan type of thing. It's a person playing for a person type of thing, and I've always hoped that our live shows would feel like that anyway."

I visited my dad in the hospital for several days. I also visited my mom in the ER (she landed in the ER for sever dehydration). Hospitals are yucky, especially the ER. I hate hospitals (who doesn't?) but I didn't get sick or anything. It's really a personal choice.
PS - I planning a natural birth at a birth center so that tells you how much I dislike hospitals.
I understand it is a hard decision. We found out my grandmother was dying from cancer (never knew she had it) during my last pregnancy. I ended up going to the hospital several times. I even took DD to see her once she was transferred to hospice. ( I called the hospice center to verify this was ok, and there were no other patients there that could get her sick)
Actually, at the time she was sick, I was pregnant, so was SIL and 2 of my cousins, and we were all there. They all have 3 healthy happy sons right now.
And I am sorry to hear your grandfather is sick.
I work in a major hospital daily and am on all floors including mostly ICU and trauma, I can assure you that on your end you are definitely ok. I would however, stay clear of any room that has isolation precautions due to MRSA or CDIFF. These are contageous and you would not want to be exposed to that. Make sure to wash your hands often and after you leave the room to visit your grandfather. Hope this helps!
I saw that you went. I'm glad, because, as many said, hospitals shouldn't keep you away, just wash hands and use hand sanitizer.
I work in the ER where we don't know what our patients have when they come in, you just have to use universal precautions. I did have to tell the doctor I was pregnant last week though when she asked me to culture a possible herpes/shingles lesion.
They don't put patients with compromised immune systems (cancer) anywhere near contagious people for their own safety. Cancer patients are more vulnerable to getting sick than pregnant people are so they don't risk them getting sick. I would go, but don't touch his equipment (IV poles, etc) on the small chance that there would be chemo residue on it and wash your hands in a non-patient bathroom on your way out.
My DH just finished chemo and these were the precautions I took. I was advised not to use the toilets near the cancer patients since chemo residue can be in those bathrooms. So I just left the cancer center and washed up in a bathroom off that wing.

Comment: the writing was on the wall after the first movie (Score 1) 348
There were enough tells in the first movie that I decided to skip both prequel sequels. My only regret concerns the movie not made.
The problem when you have a strong emotional investment in something is that one's instinct is to give it one more chance. By the time you've watched two bad movies, you're almost pot-committed to watch the third.
It takes a special will to abandon a franchise without falling into the emotional mulligan trap, and so there's ultimately little incentive for Jackson to not do what he did.
I'm slowly learning. My loyalty function has now evolved to where it's almost vertiginous.

I have used Paco Rabanne EDT in the past and thought I would give this fragrance a try,they had a great deal on a 3.7oz. tester. I am so happy I did.I had used a different online store in the past, but they did not have this in stock. I researched FragranceX and liked what I saw. The rest is history. Ultraviolet may not be for all men, but get a sample if you can. And, buy from FragranceX,the best site I have ever found.

DSN competitive? - page 2
Hi, Does anyone know if Denver School of Nursing is competitive, like the other schools in the area (CU, Regis..)? I am starting my second round of applications (denied and alternate the first round) and decided to apply to... Read More
- 1Nov 2, '12 by NursedenverI think the way the admissions worked when I enrolled was that if you met the qualifications and passed the entrance exam you would start. I'm sure with the NLNAC accreditation they'll start getting more applications, but with four big starts a year I'm not sure if they'll have any wait list problems like some of the Colorado schools. My friend that's going to graduate next year told me that the NCLEX pass rate so far this year is 97.3%! Awesome!
- 1Nov 2, '12 by SummitRNAs far as I know, nobody who qualified was rejected, although a few people might get kicked to the next start if the NLN boost occurs.
97.3% is as of June 30th and is much higher than previous years. The average for the previous 6 years is 84.5%
Please note that DSN only lets students who score high enough on the HESI Exit Exam take NCLEX. HESI Exit Exam predicts the likelihood that a student will pass NCLEX on the first attempt. This restriction inflates DSN's pass numbers as students who might not pass the NCLEX on the first try are not given a chance to take NCLEX at all.
Other schools like Regis, UNC, Metro, and University of Colorado schools do not employ this practice. All graduates can sit for NCLEX.
- 0Nov 2, '12 by kerleigh722What? If you don't pass that exit exam you can't take the nclex?! Then what? You can't go through nursing school for nothing...
- 0I'm not sure where SummitAP is getting her info but DSN like all Nursing schools cannot keep a graduate from taking the NCLEX exam. Everyone that graduates from DSN takes the NECLEX exam. If you don't pass your courses and all of your tests at any school you won't graduate.
- 0Quote from NursedenverAre you claiming that DSN "graduation" after all courses are otherwise passed is not dependent on the HESI Exit?I'm not sure where SummitAP is getting her info but DSN like all Nursing schools cannot keep a graduate from taking the NCLEX exam. Everyone that graduates from DSN takes the NECLEX exam. If you don't pass your courses and all of your tests at any school you won't graduate.
- 1I just called my friend that is still at DSN and she said the HESI test is part of the final quarter Capstone course along with your with the Capstone Clinical and everything else that's part of that course. Like any college course, if you don't pass the course, you won't graduate and the HESI is one part of that. I'm sure if you don't pass your final courses at CU or wherever, you won't graduate and you can't take the NCLEX until you do. That's all I'm saying.
- 0Semantics. It is an external standardized exit exam from HESI. It predicts whether you'll pass NCLEX on the first try. If your chances of passing NCLEX on your first try aren't high enough, you don't get a chance. No prep classes. No review. No dice. Saying that requirement is "just part of the curriculum" is BS. It is a tactic to keep DSN pass rates high at the cost of students who otherwise did well enough to get through DSN's program. You don't see competitive schools doing that to their students. It is not "a part of their curriculum." They don't have to.
- 0I don't want to get in an argument with you. But before I graduated we took HESI tests every quarter to help us prepare to pass the NCLEX. I passed the first time no problem and I think a lot of that was due to the confidence I got from taking the HESI tests. Obviously the way the pass rates are trending so high it must work. If you check DSN's retention rates , you'll find that they are higher than most of the state schools so I'm not sure why you're knocking what DSN is doing. I think if anyone has any questions about how or why DSN does something, they should just call the school. I'm really happy with the education I received and the way I was treated at DSN by the faculty and staff. It was like a big family that was cheering for you all the way.
- 1I did as you said and found an 81% completion rate on DSN's website (% who completed within 150% of regular program time). http://www.denverschoolofnursing.edu...ion%20Rate.pdf
I don't know all the other schools but, I've been told CU and Regis have 99% completion rates.
Back to the OP's original question of competitiveness: DSN has a 75% acceptance rate according to here: College Results Online
Google said 70% for 2010 when using the search terms: Denver School of Nursing acceptance rate
For comparison: CU ~5%, Regis ~5%, Colorado Mountain College ~25% (Community College with merit-entry)

Volunteers are being attacked. Tour groups have left in terror. People are afraid to come to visit Octagon Hall in Franklin Kentucky. Get the Haunted Collector on the case ASAP!!
The Hall used to be a plantation, and now it's a museum. It is one of the few buildings in the world that has 8 outward facing sides. During the Civil War, the home was used as a hospital.
Now, the museum hosts hear voices, items moving, little girls' voices, and the apparition of a little girl. They think the spirit is Mary Elizabeth Caldwell, who was burned in the fireplace. The caldron in that fireplace has swung on its own, and in Mary's bedroom men have been pushed. An old wheelchair in the hospital room moves on its own. And a volunteer reports a physical encounter with a large black figure that overwhelmed him with fear. Out in the old slave cemetery, people report seeing shadow figures. That's a lot of activity for the 8-sided house!
The team does its best to debunk some of the claims of items moving during the baseline investigation. But, Brian and Chris hear a bell ringing in the hospital room and John and Jess pick up a voice during an EVP session outside.
A local historian tells Aimee and Jason that the original homeowner lost his first wife and 2 small children in the house. He then remarried and had a new family, which Aimee surmises would be hurtful to the spirit of the first wife.
The nighttime investigation picked up a woman's voice in an EVP session, and something tugged on Jess' pants when she called to Mary Elizabeth. Inconclusive, yet interesting. Then, the team hears a bang in the house, and realizes that a portrait of Elizabeth Caldwell, the first wife, was tilted! Was Elizabeth trying to gain a more prominent place in the house? Perhaps if the museum gives her more recognition things will improve? They try that, and later report a decrease in activity.
Next, a family in Forestville, NY, is ready to move because they fear the activity in their over 200-year-old home and tattoo parlor right next to a cemetery. Owner Janet Lyndsley and her husband Duane report that when they received the deed to the home they learned that no one has been able to own that home for more than 5 years.
They hear muffled voices, footsteps running, and always feel like they're being watched. Her son says there's a bad guy in the bedroom, and Janet is too afraid to go into the attic.
Duane tells the team that he had been working on the house and found so many bones in the walls that he stopped the work and sealed the walls back up!! During the baseline investigation, the team opens up the "bones" wall, which were animal remains.
The night investigation picks up the name "Jerome" in any EVP session. Jason knew from his research that Jerome Bennett, son of a former owner who died young from Tuberculosis, and his tomb is in the cemetery. Meanwhile, in the attic Chris and Jess find an artifact that turns out to be a leech jar from the 1800s. It would have been used to hold leeches that would suck blood out of people to cure their diseases- like tuberculosis. Hmmm...
John places throws the jar into the river to cleanse it of negative energy, and the family says the activity has ceased.
A Youth Services Director describes the tall dark shadow she's seen in the boxing ring.
Whats spookier than a haunted seminary? Something unworldly released from a familys basement.

More EU madness on Rubbish
Neil Parish MEP: News - What a lot of rot! Compost will go to landfill, rather than on the roses via Numberwatch
Pre(com)posterous changes to rules governing green waste will mean tonnes of compost will now have to go to landfill, rather than being spread on gardens and farms - leaving local authorities with the prospect of a multi-million pound fine from the EU for failing to meet recycling targets, Conservative agriculture spokesman in the European Parliament, Neil Parish MEP, has warned.
Until recently, once green waste had been shredded, composted and screened it was classified as 'product' and could be bagged and sold in bulk. However, recent changes now say the material is still waste and cannot be moved without significant additional paperwork. A gardener would now require three separate permits to store, transport and use the compost on his roses!
With costs set to spiral for compost processors, it is almost certain a vast amount of composted waste will go to landfill instead. As Green waste represents around 50 percent of the annual recycling tonnage, many Councils' recycling figures will effectively be cut in half at a time when the European Commission is already threatening the UK government with fines of up to £180 million for its failure to significantly reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
Sheer bloody madness yet again but it does highlight that the whole Rubbish Emergency which councils are proclaiming so they can bully the householders into line is a pure EU invention - we are not running out of landfill sites, recycling is not always the best option and restricting the official amount of rubbish one can disposes of only means it is dumped unofficially....

Four years have passed since The Note was released, and band membersďż˝ schedules were looking busier then ever, finding the time to write a new full length seemed unrealistic. In June 2009, the band booked studio time with Jay Maas at Getaway Studios and decided to go in and record however many new tracks they had at the time. A week later they emerged with six new songs, all of them named after American soap operas, all six coming straight from their hearts.
Freed of any obligations from their longtime label Equal Vision, the new material will be released on various labels throughout the world, all of which will have their own signature title, track list, and cover art for the release. Various photographers were contacted in the different locations around the world where the records will be released, and at the exact minute on the same day, seven photographers took pictures of their city skyline at that moment. For some it was 7:58 in the morning, for others 12:58 at night, but they all pulled it off and the photo they took would be the cover and the title of the release for each territory, Tokyo 7:58 am, Dublin 11:58 pm, Boston 6:58 pm, Perth 7:58 am and to be released by 6131 Records on December 8th - Los Angeles, 3:58 pm.
