text: This show has a similar premise as the Fox show House, however the lead character is much more realistic as is the show something Fox is incapable of. With that said the dialog gets fairly advanced as far as medical terminology and it can be difficult to follow the complications his patients are suffering from without a medical degree. The show also explores ideas and situations that up until now have been shrouded in Hollywood's sugar coating. All in all I agree with the critics this is one of the best shows on TV in the last decade.

NSA 'leave behinds' behind Obama giving Cheney Secret Service protection?
I admit I'm totally synthesizing two unrelated stories, but I'm just wondering out loud here. First, Seymour Hersh tells NPR back in March that Cheney has left "stay behinds," in Obama's NSA. Um, in the non-doublespeak world, we call those people "spies."
Think Progress calls out this quote from Hersh, the New Yorker investigative journalist (hat tip Mediaite):
HERSH: I'll make it worse. I think he's put people left. He's put people back. They call it a stay behind. It's sort of an intelligence term of art. When you leave a country and, you know, you've driven out the, you know, you've lost the war. You leave people behind. It's a stay behind that you can continue to contacts with, to do sabotage, whatever you want to do. Cheney's left a stay behind. He's got people in a lot of agencies that still tell him what's going on. Particularly in defense, obviously. Also in the NSA, there's still people that talk to him. He still knows what's going on. Can he still control policy up to a point? Probably up to a point, a minor point. But he's still there. He's still a presence.
Then, last week, we learned Cheney is receiving unprecedented Secret Service protection courtesy of an Obama directive. US News says, "indications are that the threats against Cheney, who's working on his biography at his homes in Virginia and Maryland, haven't lessened since his term expired."
Ok, but what if there's a little more going on than that? I'm not going to say Cheney is undermining Obama's policies, though it's no secret he detests them. But what if the most powerful vice president in history wants to keep his fingers in the pudding, and keep tabs on the top secret intelligence he used to receive? Even if that sort of thing is now, you know, illegal, since he's no longer in office? Who better than the Secret Service to shadow Cheney everywhere he goes, you know, no accusations here, just thinking out loud, but just in case? Who better to protect Cheney. . . from himself?
Remember Clinton aide Sandy Berger stealing docs from the National Archives? My thinking this out loud has nothing to do with political leanings; it's about what the loss of power will drive the formerly powerful to do. Cheney certainly wouldn't be the first to try to hang on.
So, perhaps Obama is taking a page from Sun-Tzu: keep your friends close, and your Cheneys closer.

Why Johnny Can't Add Without a Calculator
Technology is doing to math education what industrial agriculture did to food: making it efficient, monotonous, and low-quality.
Math and science can be hard to learn—and that's OK. The proper job of a teacher is not to make it easy, but to guide students through the difficulty by getting them to practice and persevere. "Some of the best basketball players on Earth will stand at that foul line and shoot foul shots for hours and be bored out of their minds," says Williams. Math students, too, need to practice foul shots: adding fractions, factoring polynomials. And whether or not the students are bright, "once they buy into the idea that hard work leads to cool results," Williams says, you can work with them.
Educational researchers often present a false dichotomy between fluency and conceptual reasoning. But as in basketball, where shooting foul shots helps you learn how to take a fancier shot, computational fluency is the path to conceptual understanding. There is no way around it.
The fight between those who seek a way around hard work (a "royal road to geometry," in Euclid's famous phrase), and those who realize that earned fluency is the only road to understanding goes back millennia and became particularly acrimonious in America in the last half-century in the so-called math wars. On one side are education researchers like Constance Kamii, at the University of Alabama, who argues that teaching children to add and subtract is harmful. This camp says it has insights into the way children learn that warrant departure from traditional ways of teaching math. On the other side is the consensus of working scientists and mathematicians as well as teachers like Williams, who notes that it took very smart adults thousands of years to develop modern mathematics, so it makes sense to teach it to students rather than get them to "discover" it themselves.
What is new to this fight is the totalizing power of technology. A 2007 congressionally mandated study by the National Center for Educational Evaluation and Regional Assistance found that 16 of the best reading and mathematics learning software packages—selected by experts from 160 submissions—did not have a measurable effect on test scores. But despite this finding, the onslaught of technology in education has continued. The state of Maine was the first to buy laptops for all of its students from grades seven to 12, spending tens of millions of dollars to do so, starting with middle schoolers in 2002 and expanding to high schools in 2009.
The nation is not far behind. Though no well-implemented study has ever found technology to be effective, many poorly designed studies have—and that questionable body of research is influencing decision-makers. Researchers with a financial stake in the success of computer software are free to design studies that are biased in favor of their products. (I'm sure this bias is, often as not, unintentional.) What is presented as peer-reviewed research is fundamentally marketing literature: studies done by people selling the software they are evaluating.
For instance, a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of graphing calculators from Empirical Education Inc. reports a "strong effect of the technology on algebra achievement." But the meta-analysis includes results from a paper in which "no significant differences were found between the graphing-approach and traditional classes either on a final examination of traditional algebra skills or on an assessment of mathematics aptitude." In that same paper, calculators were marginally helpful on a tailor-designed test. The meta-analysis included the results of the specially made test, but not the negative results from the traditional exam.
Take this gem from researchers at SRI International. They say that standardized tests don't capture the "conceptual depth" students develop by using their software, so the "research team decided to build its own assessments"—and, of course, they did relatively well on the assessments they designed for themselves. Another example: A recent study by the Education Development Center compared students who took an online algebra 1 class with students who took nonalgebra eighth-grade math.* The online students did better than those who didn't study algebra at all (not exactly surprising). But the online students weren't compared with those who took a regular algebra class.
Despite the lack of empirical evidence, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics takes the beneficial effects of technology as dogma. There is a simple shell game that goes on: Although there is no evidence technology has been useful in teaching kids math in the past, anyone can come up with a new product and claim that this time it is effective.
I tried using one such product, Cognitive Tutor from Carnegie Learning, which claims to be "intelligent mathematics software that adapts to meet the needs of ALL students." One problem asked me to calculate the width of a doorframe, given the frame's height and a diagonal measurement of the door. After 30 seconds' work with pen and paper, I submitted my answer: 93.7cm. But Cognitive Tutor wouldn't accept it. It wanted me to go through an elaborate and cumbersome series of steps to get its answer: 93.723. This isn't teaching math—it's teaching how to use a particular software package. The supposed "real-world applications" don't even reflect the real world.

The 32-year-old Dzenowagis also was ordered to pay the business for the stolen firearms and for damage to the store.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The Raiders built a 13-1 halftime lead before shifting into cruise control Thursday...

In case you haven't heard, Seattle Weekly will be taking over downtown Ballard on October 4 with REVERBfest. The only all-local music fest in the city, REVERBfest takes place in multiple venues around downtown Ballard and boasts over 60 bands from the worlds of indie pop, stoner rock, hip-hop, electronic, roots, and more. Today's REVERBfest venue-of-the-day lineup: THE SUNSET, 5433 Ballard Ave. NW. Time to get excited, people!
Time to get excited, people!
12:30 a.m.—The Moondoggies
A friend of mine recently barked: "Who the fuck are the Moondoggies?!? They came outta nowhere!" Well, sort of. They actually came from Everett (yeah!) and have been wooing bar crowds with their 70s-informed country-rock musings for over a year now. Picked up by Hardly Art, the band just released its debut Don't Be A Stranger, causing nostalgia-minded critics and fans to salivate and compare them to The Band, Flying Burrito Brothers and the Dead. Though they channel that late-60s-early-70s roots vibe, I don't hear much of those bands at all. Instead, I hear traces of Little Feat, Linda Ronstadt's Heart Like A Wheel, Running on Empty-era Jackson Browne, the Eagles better moments (they had a few), Gillian Welch, and even a little Meat Puppets. Their layered harmonies evoke warm breezes and when they swing into sweat-on-the-beer-can Southern romp territory, it's a reminder of how much fun the 70s must have been. This is music tailor-made for road tripping to Eastern Washington in an old Chevy truck with a case of Rainier at your feet, a good woman in the passenger seat, and a friendly dog in between. Marijuana is also highly, highly recommended. BRIAN J. BARR
11:30 p.m.—Grayskul
The infamous "they"—critics, blabbermouths, etc—called Grayskul's sound "goth-hop," as if the songs wore mascara and affected jaded ennui. Not so. Sure, Onry Ozzborn and JFK's brand of hip-hop featured on their album Bloody Radio is laced with cocaine nightmares and poisonous flows so lethal your veins curl up. But there's a comic undertone to their style, the type you won't hear on a Marilyn Manson album. The slippery drug anthem "Dope" pays homage not to hustlers but to "hustling-type ninjas," and the clap-happy "Scarecrow" makes "Old McDonald Had a Farm" listenable for the first time since you last wet your bed. While Grayskul's recently released music video for "Missing"—a lament for Onry and JFK's misspent youths—takes place among shadows, their live shows are so fun the darkness always gives way to exuberance. KEVIN CAPP
10:30 p.m.—Madraso
10:30 p.m.—Madraso
So, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth do have a contender for heaviest band at REVERBfest, after all. And if not the heaviest, then maybe the loudest. Taking cues from the brutal chaos of icons like Jesus Lizard and Shellac, Madraso is the kind of band that's few and far between these days, I'm afraid. Unafraid to abuse their instruments, the trio creates a Melvins-esque rumble that will make your eardrums wish they could run for cover. It's a relentless, sludgy-yet-wired mess underscored by a love of classic 80s metal. You won't hear properly for days. BJB
9:30 p.m.—Team Gina
History (more accurately, cable television) likes to make it seem as though grunge ruled the late-80s and early-90s. It didn't. The charts were positively inundated with polished turds like Debbie Gibson, Bel Biv Devoe, Ace of Base, and Milli Vanilli. Though most of us are afraid to admit it, we bought those artists' tape cassettes and can still recite their lyrics when we hear snippets of them on an infomercial for some compilation of "yesterday's favorites". Team Gina take this same nostalgia for heavily processed dance-pop and channel it through the lesbian electronica of Le Tigre. With playful high-school-style raps about lesbian subject matter (see: "Butch/Femme"), Team Gina discuss same-sex issues while steering clear of evangelism (something Le Tigre did not do). Though some would call their blatant nostalgia for 80s/90s cheese-pop ironic, it doesn't take much to realize there's a difference between hipster irony and just plain having fun. BJB
8 p.m.—Police Teeth (also live on Audioasis, 90.3 KEXP)Here's what Police Teeth claim: If you're over 25, they sound like The Wipers and Superchunk; If you're under 25, they sound like The Thermals and Hot Snakes. Here's what I say: If you're under 25 and don't know the Wipers, go buy Is This Real? right now! But I digress. Police Teeth are all about crunchy chords and catchy rhythms. They certainly reach back to the days of grimy Northwest punk, but also carry a heavy dose of punk-inspired 70s rock and 80s and 90s indie rock (this is where the Superchunk reference factors in). It's often fast and noisy, which is something Seattleites crave deep-down despite their safe-as-milk indie pop tendencies. BJB
6:30 p.m.—Brothers of the Sonic Cloth (also live on Audioasis, 90.3 KEXP)Tad Doyle. From the legendary TAD. His new band. Every one of you should be here for this show.
5 p.m.—Sage
Formed in the 90s and back after a long hiatus, local rockers Sage practically connected the dots between Middle Eastern and psychedelic-American twang. Guitarist and vocalist Marc Olsen has a voice like an echo buried in sand and his guitar work is an elusive blend of precise plucking, liquidy jazz excursions, and grim, desert acid-rock. Guy Davis' bass work is dry and rubbery (also not unlike Mike Watt's), while drummer Mike Williamson drives the band like he's aboard rollicking gypsy caravan, erupting now and then with sharp punky jabs. They have a funkiness about them that, for better or worse, earned them comparisons to Red Hot Chili Peppers. But that's hardly accurate. Instead, imagine the Minutemen playing in an opium den. BJB
4 p.m.—Blood Red Dancers
As Hannah Levin reported a few weeks ago, Seattle musicians might have their hearts set on Los Angeles, but L.A. musicians like Blood Red Dancers prove that Seattle is still seen as a fertile musical training ground. These dudes moved here not long ago and have already established themselves in the local scene with their weird brand of dark blues, psych-outs, whack-jazz, and fire-and-brimstone gospel-rock. Singer Kevin R. Lord sounds like Jim Morrison (or, rather Iggy Pop when he aped Morrison on the Stooges first record). With a heavy layer of organ and the occasional harmonica, their songs evoke images of fiery confession and brooding obsession and guilt. Imagine 16 Horsepower writing the soundtrack to Elvis' private, teeth-grinding-haven't-slept-in-weeks moments. BJB
3 p.m.—Thee Sgt. Major III
Someone once told me they thought Kurt Bloch had the only good idea anyone's ever had in rock music: Write awesome songs and get a really cool woman to sing 'em. Bloch did exactly that for decades with the legendary Fastbacks. With Thee Sgt. Major III, Bloch continues that tradition with Cantona vocalist Leslie Beattie. Like all of Bloch's best work, the songs are filled with a teenage-like giddiness for pop-punk hooks. Songs like "Break It All" and "Battery Operated" jump up-and-down as if riding a pogo stick, propelled by the high-on-sugar drumming of Mike Musburger. Beattie's vocals sound like a prettier Kim Shattuck of the Muffs, the perfect choice for delivering Bloch's songs, which are sweet, but not so sweet they make your teeth hurt. BJB

Respond to Review of Stuff I Eat
by cute_as_a_button
Review: I travel to LA frequently for business, and I always stay near the airport (LAX) because of it's close proximity to my clients. I'm always looking for new vegan restaurants in the area, and today I've decided to look no further! Stuff I Eat is hands down some of the best vegan food I've EVER had!!! Teh atmosphere is super chill...like walking into a quaint little coffee shop. The owners are so friendly and welcoming - I chatted with them for 10 minutes before deciding what I wanted from the menu and they never rushed me and were really helpful and patient. They even let you sample the food to prevent waste! I ordered my food to go because I didn't have change for the meter, and they gave me quarters so I could stay and eat there! So sweet... I had the soul food 1/2 platter - the flavors were incredible and the value was phenomenal! And believe me, no matter how hungry you are, 1/2 platter is plenty for one person! I also got the avocado chocolate parfait for dessert - to die for! Teh only negative is finding the place. It's on Market street, but the sign is hard to spot and hidden by some trees, I had to circle the block twice, but it was well worth it! I just can't say enough good things about the place, these people, the food and the energy. All around great experience.

I'm a mama from the 1/08 board and I wanted to share this great book that i'm reading. It's called "Pushed' and it's by Jennifer Block. really informative about giving birth in the U.S.
really interesting book - Pushed

Even though I have had my son already I just may get this book.

I checked this out recently from the library and ended up ordering myself a copy so I could mark in it and highlight and reread parts again later. It is REALLY a good book! Very eye-opening, and I have read a LOT on childbirth and midwifery.

This is a wonderful book. I couldn't put it down... until I had to because I needed to take care of my kids... and then I never picked it back up.
This one, and Born In The USA by Marsden Wagner, I need to finish that one too!

Thank you for reminding me! I REALLY need to read it, because I'm hosting a book signing for it next month as the Peace Tree, where I teach some of my childbirth classes. It's our first fund raiser, and I don't want to meet her before reading it. How uncool would that be?
I also think that this is a great book -- but I could not read much of it without getting really upset ... and I'm now 28 weeks pregnant and had to put it down because it was depressing me too much!! I decided that I need to read more positive VBAC stories instead!

Love this book! Only problems are 1: It made me mad that drs are taking advantage of most womens ignorance, and encouraging it. 2: It made me want to stop people in the streets and say "Do you know what happens to our babies and mothers in hospitals! We have to do something!"
Totally confirmed my decision to have our second homebirth!
When I looked up "Ninjas" in Thesaurus.com, it said "Ninja's can't be found". Well played Ninjas, well played.
What is great about what angers you is that it promotes activism. Become a doula, become involved in halping women and families!!! Promote 'normal' birth!

This kit was my first attempt at lagering a batch. Things went well but the carbonation was slow, being consumable at 4 weeks, 6 weeks was better.
Posted by Steve on 8th Mar 2014
The 2nd beer I ever brewed. It sucked so bad at 2 weeks after bottling I left it alone. I should mention that I always secondary fermate my beer. To get rid of it I had it again as did many of my friends 6 months later. Amazing across 6 of 7 of our boards. The last one I saved 16 months. Amazing! I have brewed it many times now and the year and beyond ones are amazing. Amazing to me is not available in commercial craft beer often. I buy this again and again although first one just purchased from Bells.

smallest offese to file for divorce?
The only way I would file for divorce is cheating or abuse. I've been divorced from an abusive person and it took a lot, too much actually for me to leave. I don't leave over little things.
12/5/2010 2/27/2014 Tiebreaker Edd 5/25/16
If it is divorce worthy....it's not a small offense.
Add funny siggy here. Too tired to think of a new one.
I think people on BHB LOVE to jump to the conclusion of divorce. It's easy to give advice that you would never follow, KWIM?
It would / could take a lot of little things to chip away at someone to make someone "snap" I think and decided something small like that was the final straw.
All wives are worth $1.00 FB message telling them their husband is fucking another woman. If you don't have it, I'll PayPal it to you. - Pitchy Spice
There is nothing "small" tha would make me file for divorce. My deal breakers are the big ones (cheating, abuse etc).
Everything else can be resovled via counseling IMO.
Ooo, Maybe, just maybe, if he refused counseling to deal with the small issues. Yeah thats probably grounds for divorce for me. Unwillingness to work through issues (big or small)

The shrine post WAS abuse (emotional abuse is just as damaging as physical abuse).
Abuse and cheating are it for me. I know couples who have suffered through years of what I can only call a complete lack of respect for one partner for another and then one day one or the other just has enough and I think that is probably justified as well.
I married him forever and I meant it.

Missed call at first base negated tying run
Updated: August 4, 2003, 2:28 PM ETAssociated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Umpire Tim Welke admitted Sunday he probably missed a call at first base that cost the Colorado Rockies the tying run in a loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates the day before.
Welke, the crew chief, called Colorado's Jay Payton out at first base to complete a game-ending double play in Pittsburgh's 1-0 victory Saturday. There were runners at first and third and one out when Payton came to the plate.
Replays appeared to show Payton beat the throw from second

I received these quickly and tried installing them in my truck. Right off the bat there's no instructions. I then tried putting on the front cover and as you're stretching the cover over the back rest all goes well until you reach the midway point. Then for the life of me I couldn't get them any farther without the seams busting. That pissed me off a lot. Then once they were on all was well until I went to install the rear seat covers.

In what may be a modern-day first in Seattle crime, veteran Seattle Police officer Tim Brenton, 39, (right) was ambushed and killed>"/>
Updated, 3:30 p.m.
In what may be a modern-day first in Seattle crime, veteran Seattle Police officer Tim Brenton, 39, (right) was ambushed and killed Saturday night in the Central District by a drive-by shooter, police say, while rookie student officer Britt Sweeney, 33, was slightly wounded but escaped death. A search is now underway for the shooter or shooters, and $21,000 in rewards are being offered for information; Mayor Greg Nickels also ordered all city flags to fly at half-staff in Brenton's memory.
An SPD officer nine years, Brenton was married, had two children, and lived in Marysville. At a Sunday afternoon press conference, Interim Chief John Diaz, taking deep breaths as he spoke (left), called it a "despicable and cowardly" act, and Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel termed it an "assassination..." Witnesses indicated the assailant fired a number of rounds from what may have been a semi-automatic weapon. Pugel said Sweeney saw the shooter and ducked, shouting for Brenton to get down, but it was too late. Though both officers wore body armor, the shots hit Brenton in the head, grazing the neck of the crouching Sweeney, tearing her clothing.
Brenton was the eighth officer to die in the line of duty since 1985, but this is the first shooting death of an officer since Antonio Terry in 1994, who was slain after stopping to help what he thought was a stranded motorist; though in plainclothes and unmarked car, he was recognized by one of those in the car, a crime suspect, who opened fire.
According to SPD, Brenton and Sweeney were parked in a blue-and-white patrol car in the 100 Block of 29th Avenue South in Leschi, going over details of a traffic stop they had made a few minutes earlier, when the shooter car pulled up at 10:06 p.m. (Crime scene video from CentralDistrictNews.com)
Sweeney was behind the wheel and Brenton was in the passenger seat. The shooter in the crime vehicle, described as a small light-colored (possibly gray or silver Toyota) sedan, fired multiple shots at close range.
Brenton was killed instantly, police said. Sweeney was able to bail out of the patrol car and return fire several times, possibly striking the fleeing suspect vehicle. She made a dramatic "officer down" radio call and pleaded for additional units. Pugel said officers commended Sweeney - in her 7th month of training - for coolly acting as a veteran officer would.
In a statement, SPD says "This investigation is very much active and ongoing, and is a priority for the Department." Chief Diaz said "We will not rest until we make sure the people involved are brought to justice."
A police tip line has been set up at 206-233-5000. Anonymous callers can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or send a text to CRIMES (274637), under "TIP486.? Callers could qualify for a cash reward of up to $1,000. An additional $20,000 reward is being offered by the Seattle Police Officer's Guild.

iPhone 5 Teardown The iPhone 5 was torn down on September 21, 2012. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ojDdAHaHG1OWRtIP Brett Hartt No estimate Moderate iPhone 5
Behold, the sixth generation of iPhone! We shall call it…iPhone 5! Buckle down for the iPhone 5 teardown: the biggest thing to happen to teardowns since teardowns.

Follow us on Twitter for all the latest teardown shenanigans, or go on that Facebook thing to keep up with iFixit news.

 2015-03-02T16:04:08-07:00 The dawn of another day in the Land Down Under brings us what we've all been waiting for: the new iPhone 5! A big thanks to MacFixit Australia for letting us use their digs in Melbourne for this teardown. They stock Mac and iPhone upgrades/accessories, and also carry our iFixit toolkits. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/rEq5WT4DTmMQQYLF https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/I5H6tfDuByUigGL5 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/g2V2h4VNXXwHudt5 The iPhone 5 is here, and it brought along the big guns. 4" 1136x640 pixel (326 ppi) Retina display Apple A6 system on a chip (SoC) 8 megapixel iSight camera 8-pin Lightning connector 4G LTE connectivity iOS 6 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/tawPO1b2QK5oFdYw https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/n1J6lfYKKMYoCRca There won't be any mistaking an iPhone 5 for an iPhone 4 or 4S. A lot has changed on the outside of the iPhone. The most obvious alteration to the bottom of the phone is the exchange of the large 30-pin dock connector for the diminutive Lightning connector. The headphone jack is now on the bottom of the iPhone, right next to the updated speaker microphone grille—a series of holes rather than a mesh-covered slot. Other notable differences are the slate bezel, as opposed to the stainless steel that wrapped around the 4S, and the chamfered edges between the bezel and the front/rear cases. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/iFHKvJFaqI5mhlBq Pesky pentalobe screws! Good thing our 5-Point Drivers still work on them. It's incredibly convenient that Apple used the same pentalobe screwhead that they've been using for the past two years on the iPhone 4 and 4S. The screw shafts are slightly different from the screws in our iPhone 4/4S Liberation Kit, so we made a new iPhone 5 Liberation Kit! The unibody back case is reminiscent of the iPhone 3GS, while still retaining the square (though now chamfered) edges of the iPhone 4. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/El6QfQ4IFThwHHqH What's this? A suction cup? We haven't needed a suction cup to get into an iPhone since the 3GS! Because the iPhone 5 is opened front-to-back, replacing a cracked screen is going to be easier than ever. Thank you, Apple! Compare this to the iPhone 4S, where it took 38 steps to isolate the display assembly, and this iPhone may be the most repairable iPhone we've seen in a while. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GWLCgtMOk1cX6FfE https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/46ULGbTfQUVAJMx5 The display connector is held firmly to the logic board by a few simple Phillips screws. Our spudger makes quick work of prying up the display connector, and poof! the display is free. We're having iPhone 3GS flashbacks with the easily accessible display assembly. Screen crackers and screen fixers rejoice! https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/YaCBJWduYL5Va3Rs https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/yAbyKNWqVWy6sT4I The iPhone 5 ditches its lid to show us all of the juicy bits inside. So, what can we see from here? A bigger battery? Antenna connections? A single speaker? Cameras? Vibrators? Home buttons? Never fear, our faithful iPhone delivers; we'll be sure to take a closer look at each of these components as we remove them. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/DIsaXjsiLvlOTMRx https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ZTIJAM3jViOTVAQ5 As always, we disconnect the battery first to prevent electrifying anything, including ourselves, as we dig deeper. Three Phillips #000 screws and a metal bracket hold the battery connector to the logic board. Hmm, this is beginning to feel very familiar. In the 3GS, the display assembly was easy to take out, but the battery was a pain. In the 4 and 4S, the display assembly took 38 steps to remove, while the battery was a breeze. We like to think that Apple has started tailoring to our preferences in allowing us to remove both the display assembly and the battery in only a couple of steps. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ZnyLGAUNdyEHSlkZ We use the Battery removal tab to pull up the battery. Never try to pry soft pack batteries as this could lead to a thermal event! For the iPhone 5, Apple has switched to a different battery chemistry, with a higher voltage and slightly larger capacity than the iPhone 4S. Let's see how the battery specs stack up. iPhone 5 Battery: 3.8V - 5.45Wh - 1440mAh. Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G. Standby time: Up to 225 hours. iPhone 4S Battery: 3.7V - 5.3Wh - 1432mAh. Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G. Standby time: Up to 200 hours. Samsung Galaxy S III Battery: 3.8V - 7.98Wh - 2100mAh. Talk time: Up to 11 hours 40 minutes on 3G. Standby time: Up to 790 hours. On the back of the battery we notice "MFR Sony," and "Cell made in Singapore." A bit of googling and it looks very likely that Sony is manufacturing this battery. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/1jBGUWWIjGsgARsP https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/kZUHTfFCblfgDUJj https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/NLm1MRTWCQDvRm3G There are all kinds of metal-to-metal contacts inside the iPhone 5. Spring contacts make for easy repairs, but mandate careful attention to cleaning all the parts before reassembly. Finger oils can get in the way of these metal contacts and cause frustrating component failures. This contact connects the metal frame around the front-facing camera to the frame around the rear-facing camera. Maybe this frame is some kind of an antenna? Only time will tell. Speaking of antennas, a spudger easily pries one end of an antenna connector off of the logic board near the battery. In the iPhone 4S, this antenna location was reserved for the cellular antenna. We won't know for sure what this antenna's purpose is until we uncover more. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/UitgoPOoEX6IlloZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/cI1RnprSrc1W55vY Near the top of the case, we find a few antenna connectors firmly screwed to the inside of the case. Finally free of its constraints, we lift the logic board up out of the rear case. The logic board and 8 megapixel iSight camera come out together, leaving several components behind in the rear case—another win for modularity. +1 for repairability. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ipuKf63xOMIt3T1m https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/JhpPxZNaktREQaYE https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/OMcWMwpGLd43sExU They (product placement engineers) said if we tech writers were good and we stayed late, we can have one beverage of choice when we finished the teardown. Then they promptly took the beverages away… …and put them in the fridge!!! We Я happy camperz. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/mHtcqXfp3IfdHD6J Many of the components that came out with the logic board are held in place with screws and brackets. Apparently, Apple is very concerned with making sure that all the connectors are firmly seated and won't rattle loose over time. Good on you, Apple. Before we go any further: A mega thanks to Chipworks for sticking around into the wee hours of the night and helping us identify the packages on the logic board. Their handiwork (along with ours!) can be seen below. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/XjPtTNsxYRNf51UV https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/DTULimpgbVEfGeUj The underside of the logic board is teeming with components.

The die inside is a Cirrus Logic device (second image) but it does not look like the audio codec. STMicroelectronics L3G4200D (AGD5/2235/G8SBI ) low-power three-axis gyroscope—same as seen in the iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and other leading smart phones Murata 339S0171 (based on Broadcom BCM4334) Wi-Fi module https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/Re2rDw1F3PMUE2pP https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/BwIDXn4GG1QudZT1 Now for the plat de résistance: the A6 application processor. The A6 processor is the first Apple System-on-Chip (SoC) to use a custom design, based off the ARMv7 instruction set. Because the A6 is not an ARM-specific CPU design, this gives Apple the ability to tailor the A6 towards their needs. According to Chipworks, the B8164B3PM silkscreen label denotes 1GB Elpida LP DDR2 SDRAM. Contrarily, the infographic presented during Apple's Keynote clearly showed Samsung RAM (K3PE7E700F) in the A6. Not too long ago, Apple decided to reduce the number of RAM chip orders from Samsung. Time to invest in Elpida? Or is Samsung lurking in the next phone on the shelf? That's for you to decide. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/FGxiFyUkAWwrwvLt https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/KDg1HAwpoOgmt6NT Did someone ask for a close-up of the Apple 338S1077 Cirrus audio codec? What exactly does an audio codec do? In short, it's a single device that acts as both a digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converter to properly encode and decode audio in and out signals. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/JZSZsdy5fRfgtRDS Chips on a board. Kinda like ants on a log. STMicroelectronics LIS331DLH (2233/DSH/GFGHA) ultra low-power, high performance, three-axis linear accelerometer Texas Instruments 343S0628 touch screen SoC Broadcom BCM5976 touchscreen controller Rather than a single touchscreen controller, Apple went with a multi-chip solution to handle the larger screen size, à la iPad. Apple A6 application processor Qualcomm MDM9615M LTE modem Qualcomm RTR8600 Multi-band/mode RF transceiver, the same one found in the Samsung Galaxy S III https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/Xcm1d4MbTZVgFJfv An iPhone with 4G connectivity? It's more likely than you think. We can now confirm that the Qualcomm MDM9615M is the 4G LTE modem powering this new feature. After being teased for over a year by Android bullies, the iPhone faithful finally have 4G LTE on their side. What will they do with this newfound power? Only time will tell. The Qualcomm MDM9615M is a 28 nm LTE (FDD and TDD), HSPA+, EV-DO Rev B, TD-SCDMA modem. The MDM9615 allows for multi-spectrums, multi-mode LTE support. It is responsible for transmitting simultaneous voice and data transfer on LTE (provided the carrier has the infrastructure to allow simultaneous voice and data transfer.) We also find the Qualcomm RTR8600 multi-band/mode RF transceiver. The RTR8600 is paired alongside the MDM9615 to support various bands, including 5 UMTS bands, and over 5 LTE and 4 EDGE bands. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/kXLwRN1XcGkFRmO2 Here's a closer look at the Broadcom BCM5976 trackpad controller. Apple used this same chip in the MacBook Air to control the trackpad. Here, it's working together with the Texas Instruments touchscreen controller to take care of touch inputs on the Retina display. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/6ZyHUIahZ5fFklFM After completely dissecting the logic board, we turn our attention back to the rear case. Not even a healthy heap of adhesive can stand up to our mighty spudger! The Lightning connector assembly, which includes the headphone jack, loudspeaker, and lower microphone, comes out next. It appears that the Wi-Fi antenna is also embedded into the assembly. The iPhone 5 now includes support for 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz. Antennas are sized to be fractions of full wavelengths, so the 1.23" of a quarter 2.4 GHz wave is close enough to the 1.18" of a half 5 GHz wave that a single antenna can serve both frequencies. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/AYfl3O6OHSlm2B4J https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/qBC6wHdA3hkJx3DR https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/n4yuSLdaluoxL5EY The first of three microphones comes out of the iPhone 5 along with the Lightning connector assembly. It is safe to assume that the microphone located at the bottom front of the device is used for voice commands and voice calls. The other two microphones remain in the device, for now, waiting towards the top of the phone. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/JJADeUKYryWZpcaS The Lightning connector looks like it could be swallowed by the the 30-pin dock connector. Here we can clearly see the eight leads in the new Lightning connector. While there hasn't been any official word on the pin-out for the Lightning connector, we can confidently say that two of them will be used for power and ground. As for the other six, well, that's anyone's guess. Update: We now know what the pin-out of the Lightning connector is. Apple claims that the Lightning connector is all digital. However, they also claim that the iPhone 5 supports analog audio-out and VGA video, indicating that there may be some kind of digital-to-analog conversion going on inside the cable. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/OA1EH4FLXHZmIXII https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/VdaHmkUPWO4bFpDc https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/h2PlUyBOOgEG5cve Further investigation into the Lightning connector shows a neat array of pins and a clip to hold the cable in place. As can be seen in the 2nd high res picture, there are are two outermost pin that are inset from the others. This is standard practice to insure that all other signals and power are connected before the ground or power (depending if Apple decided to supply power via the outer metal shield or ground. Normal practice is to connect signals and ground first and then the power is applied via the shorter pins. Time will tell and someone with a DVM as to which is the power (pin or shell). Each pin (shown in the third picture) is springy and gold plated on the end to ensure good conductivity between the Lightning cable and the socket. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/NaS1PUPUxSbqYPWF https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/6wSwQDSxsENkhPXC https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/RRRWq6gMMMbQuxDV Even with several components remaining, the back case is impressively light. Using a high tech, advanced precision scale, we conclude that the entire rear case of the iPhone 5 weighs only slightly more than just the glass rear panel of the 4S. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/BiTDNcowPLM41cAX https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/XjfiX1qHUkiYMSwK https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ULpEdWA1iCVFrJc2 Pressure contacts on the vibrator motor mean that replacing it doesn't require soldering or prying up small connectors. Unlike the iPhone 4S, which used a linear-oscillating vibrator, Apple has gone back to a rotational motor with a counterweight. We praised Apple in the past for going with the quieter and less annoying linear oscillating vibrator (Which is made by Samsung), but now we're scratching our heads as to why they went back. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/XZMOOHBwrEdNfSqk The ear speaker comes out easily with two screws and connects to the display assembly with spring contacts. The speaker in the iPhone 4S was adhered to the fragile power button ribbon cable and required a lot of work to remove. Now it pops right off the display assembly—another hooray for repairability! https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/uqmV2IUvjtI2lQm2 Apple's newest iteration of its classic home button sports an integrated metal support bracket, which we hope will greatly strengthen the oft-used switch. Many iPhone 4 and 4S users have experienced the woes of a faulty home button, but haven't been brave enough to attempt the repair. This new design should not only increase longevity, but also make replacing the home button a lot less of a hassle. A side-by-side comparison of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 display assemblies. The iPhone 4s has an integrated home button. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/iU1LmdnGRvXSnMHt https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/SrxtIQUk2ACf6W21 What first appeared to be part of the LCD assembly is easily removed after the turn of a few screws. This plate is likely used for shielding and heat dissipation. The spring contact near the screw suggests that the plate could also be used for grounding. We've had some inquiries if this shield was made of Liquidmetal. Sorry to disappoint, folks, but it doesn't seem to be that alloy. The plate has the same resistance of stainless steel and is slightly magnetic, just like stainless steel. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/sw2Uar6MCLkCW6XL Based on a user request, we looked into the concerns about "Scuff Gate," the fear that the black coating scuffs off too easily. We found that the side is pretty tough, but the chamfered edge can be susceptible to scuffing, making for a shiny streak on the side. Moral of this story: be careful, or get a case. Or be free like the wind and just don't care. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/nYR4CbjYJu6NpRtU https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/FDXRCFBomMOLycY2 One of the iPhone 5's biggest selling points was the updated 8 megapixel iSight camera. Although it's hard to see many differences between this camera and last year's model on the outside, Sony made some significant upgrades, including improved low light performance and 40% faster image capture. iPhone 5 camera is on the left. Will your pictures be this good? That depends—will you take the time to snap photos of something besides your dinner? https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/xjoY1BYwf5VVN4Zo https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/6RsOCVTleZnGaPMl Apple was very proud of the fact that they are using a sapphire crystal in their new-and-improved camera. Since sapphire is such a hard material, it would be sensible that the outermost element of the camera is made of sapphire. We tried scratching the clear cover with a pair of steel tweezers and the lens remained scratch-free. While this doesn't confirm that the protective cover is made from sapphire crystal, it does mean that it is quite hard and scratch resistant. After giving it some thought, we decided that a few passes with a pair of tweezers wasn't a sufficiently thorough scratch test for the camera lens coating. The rear case of the iPhone 5 doesn't hold up well to a barrage of sandpaper and keys, but the lens cover remains crystal clear. Wow. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/f42pSlJjuWMHuZiF https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/TtHVxROIoZboVDfv We have found them! Just as Apple promised, there are more microphones residing in the top of the device. First, we find the front facing top microphone, presumably for FaceTime and speakerphone capabilities. And on the back? It's starting to look like a triple microphone! The rear-facing microphone partners up with the rear-facing camera for recording video, and is also used for canceling out background noise when on calls. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/3gnnRKegMAGErCvF https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/fGSx6t12f6MJIulc iPhone 5 Repairability: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair) We're quite happy that the glass/display is the first thing that comes off the iPhone 5. The majority of iPhone repairs are due to a shattered front glass. The battery comes out with a bit of prying once the front panel is removed. The iPhone 5 still uses Pentalobe screws on the exterior, making it more difficult to open the device. The front glass, digitizer, and LCD are all one component, thereby increasing cost of repair. Lots of smaller components are soldered to one ribbon cable, increasing the cost of repairing just one component. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/LbCAWCK2NPQB3xvw https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/FH1DV1iA1NXYXuur 2012-09-19T10:37:39-07:00

Easternmost route picked for Jacaranda/Laurel connector
Published: Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 7:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 7:29 p.m.
VENICE - A $6 million road extension in Venice will connect Jacaranda Road with Laurel Road — the easternmost of four possible evacuation routes — after the City Council Tuesday voted unanimously to place it there over the objections of the Jacaranda West Homeowners Association.
"We realize we can't stop progress but we would like to be included in the process," said Norma Dayton of the Jacaranda West Homeowners Association. "We'd prefer a route a little farther west."
Royal Smith of the Jacaranda West Homeowners Association said the road cannot handle the traffic on it now and the extension would only add to the overload.
But Councilman Bob Daniels and attorney Jeff Boone, representing CNL Bank, which owns the property chosen, said the north-south extension east of Interstate 75 was unlikely to put many more cars on Jacaranda road west of I-75.
Daniels said adding another evacuation route was critical to Laurel Road residents who twice have had to wait out serious accidents that closed off access to the residential area.
"An evacuation route has been needed ever since that area was developed," Daniels said.
Residents of Willow Chase and Venetian Golf and River Club found out the need firsthand after a semi-trailer crash on I-75 closed the Laurel Road overpass. There was no way out until the debris was cleared.
The Laurel bottleneck came into play again in 2009 when a road contractor fractured a gas line and caused an explosion near Laurel and Knights Trail Road. Once again, the intersection was closed for hours.
The Jacaranda extension route goes over land owned by CNL Bank. Two routes on Gulf Coast Community Foundation land were passed over.
The late developer Jacques Cloutier, former owner of J&J Homes, lost the land to CNL in foreclosure nearly two years ago. He was found murdered with a gunshot wound to the head on a rural Costa Rican road this year.
Sept. 30, 2013, is the targeted completion date for the Jacaranda Road extension.

"Lovely Linhares" Linhares by angiebabe
Linhares Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 52 photos
The rough guide gives info on Linhares making it one of the recommended and more interesting villages of the Serra de Estrela to visit and also as an entry point into the park.
The village church was discovered to unknowingly have had 3 paintings of one of Portugal's artists Grao Vasco - but of course it was closed and the paintings off limits - but the pay desk at the castle did have postcards of one of the paintings so that was something - and also a helpful map of the village with the sights and architectural finds to see.
Me and my obsession with seeing all things unbelievably old and before my time!! which of course includes a Roman crawl all over Europe!! and that includes here! Linhares is not the only village or locality with advertised original roman road and i was not aware until i got a map guide from the castle warden - so that was exciting - and i found it!!
This road, i am told, ran all the way to Braga!, with huge paving stones - i could imagine the poor guys heaving away trying to lay these stones - and here they are all these hundreds of years later and i am walkiing on them!
Stone houses and streets really give the medieval and ancient feel. Even houses made around and into rocks and boulders!! Following the map guide i was thankfully given i could go also to see what apparently was manueline style - ie a style from the 15 and 16th centuries.
Also animal pens and houses right in the village too but i didnt see any donkeys that the Rough Guide guidebook said i might see!
The whole village had interesting character.
- Pros:lots to see as you roam around the whole village, very old and historic, architecture and style through the ages
- Cons:i needed more time than i planned, the church with the Vasco paintings i think does not open for the public to see
- In a nutshell:really cute and photogenic - especially the house with boulders in their walls.

Manueline style apparently is named after King Manuel 1495-1521, and characterised by a use of elaborate ornamentation... more travel advice
Excellent panoramic views from the castle tower over the keep, village and areas out further. You can take the stairs... more travel advice
cute houses, with cute doors, roses and flowers, cute little windows, cute little passageways more travel advice
walk around the lanes and see the houses built around huge boulders. more travel advice

Quite an impressive little village and the old Roman road was a real gem of a find! My wife and I passed close by Linhares while in the Estrelas on our way to Guarda. Check out my 'Monsanto' page for more amazing Portugese boulder houses!
Nice pictuers and tips. Thanks for sharing
Hey again. Sometimes I'm on VT but no time to look at pages. Now I had a little bit, and you were right. This is a really nice place. Wow! Very nice pictures!
I can imagine there's no public tp with such roads! thanks for the insightful and directions given and excellent photos!
despite comments from yous that ive put good photos in& i think that im giving people the opportunity to see lovely scenes around lovely Linhares when theyve not been able to get there themselves theyre rated 2& a half stars which is verging on unhelpful.
Great to see more of the Manueline architecture!
What wonderful photographs and what well written tips about Linhares. Enjoyable reading and viewing.
I too love Roman roads! In Rome, standing on their original stone roads was very special.
The cobbled streets look like they could take you back through time.
