Samsung Galaxy S III Teardown Samsung Galaxy S III Teardown https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/oMIB5B1PKQkBPacE Walter Galan No estimate Moderate Samsung Galaxy S III
Anxious to have the Galaxy S 3 in the palm of your hand? Join us as we take an exciting sneak peek at the Samsung Galaxy S III, the appropriately-named successor to the Galaxy S II. Images provided courtesy of Chipworks!

Follow iFixit on Twitter if you're keen on getting the latest updates on our teardowns!
 2014-07-14T16:50:48-07:00 First, let's give thanks where thanks are due: a big, solid, awesome thanks to Chipworks for providing the pictures for this teardown. We greatly appreciate their help for the Samsung Galaxy S III! Here's their full analysis on the Galaxy S III. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/WqfnoOBgtljxnnEr Arguably the most hyped-up Android phone to ever hit the market, the Samsung Galaxy S III has an impressive list of accolades. Here are some of the heavy-hitting tech specs: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich 4.8" Super AMOLED 720 x 1280 resolution display 1.4 GHz quad-core application processor 2100 mAh battery 8 MP rear-facing and 1.9 MP front-facing cameras 16, 32, or 64 GB of internal storage Pictured here next to the Samsung Galaxy S2 (left) for comparison. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/jLuRvr21aHTLDBdw https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/Spin43pWrdA5BGjE The simple, sleek design of the newest Galaxy S implements a standard power/sleep button on the side of the device. As we ready ourselves to dig into this Galaxy S, it watches us with its rear 8 MP camera. To the left and right of the camera are the flash and speaker assemblies. The Galaxy S is not only watching us, but listening, as well. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/uJSxTSKFXgWSyxrS https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/QJR2RZIZ6xW5tGyb Much like in the Galaxy Nexus, we find a user serviceable battery in the Samsung Galaxy S III. The 3.8 V, 2100 mAh battery incorporates the antenna for the Near Field Communications (NFC) module used in "S Beam". For those who are curious, 2100 mAh is equivalent to 7560 Coulombs of charge. Unsurprisingly, this is the same amount of charge that a 3.8V, 7.98 Wh battery holds. Well this is interesting. It would seem Samsung wants us to "refer to [the] manual before using [the] battery?" Yeah, like that's gonna happen... https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/PjTEOtWDMQrF4FXu https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/cA1yh3jyHZmAjOGF https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/PsIArPVgxYnKSpRC Internals time. The spudger takes care of the first two plastic assemblies. The first piece out is the rear plastic frame that protects the motherboard and houses a single liquid indicator sticker. Should your Galaxy S III ever take a swim, be sure to stick it in one of iFixit's Thirsty Bags. Removal of the frame grants us access to an easily replaceable speaker assembly. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/BoGuCMaPQliYwOAk https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/yanERE5XHTAmUB2y https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/e6UxAsnNJTTXrG5n The big question now is what we should remove first. So many components in such a small volume! Rear-facing camera you say? Sure, let's pry that 8 MP behemoth of a camera out from the inner framework. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GINJTQuaSPNUw2pN https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/XlDrhqBSys6LONBI We continue by removing the motherboard from the inner framework. With the motherboard out of the way, we can get a good look at the inner support frame. While we suspect that the frame is probably magnesium, we do not yet have any concrete proof. We find a chip that isn't attached to the motherboard: a Melfas 8PL533 Touch Sensor that translates your touch inputs into zeroes and ones. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/PQinrlrkqrr1esWL https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/oQ4CSv3hvhsgVXSC Let's talk tools for a minute. We don't just make awesome teardowns—we sell parts. And tools! Lots and lots of tools. Like this handy-dandy electronics tool kit that we used to take apart the new iPad. You know you want one. It'll pay for itself the first time you use it! We sell Mac parts & upgrades, parts for iPhone screen repair, kits for fixing the infamous Xbox Red Ring of Death, and tons more. We need your support to continue building the free repair manual for everything in the world. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/A4fUTvEbpEPAAyiZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/cR4R6DWRdborimF6 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/qUsibyhaVQPKXFQb Chipworks eagerly provided us with pictures of the motherboard less than an hour into the teardown! Here is the front of the motherboard: Murata M2322007 WiFi Module Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core A9 processor with 1 GB LP DDR2 Green Memory (K3PE7E700M-XGC2) Samsung KMVTU000LM eMMC(16GB)+MDDR(64MB) NAND Flash Intel Wireless PMB9811X Gold Baseband processor MAX77693 and MAX77686 Broadcom BCM47511 Integrated Monolithic GNSS Receiver 33ODC 2214 4TP AC https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/qneCB1ZDEXXKkcum Bottom of motherboard: Wolfson Microelectronics WM1811 stereo codec Skyworks SKY77604 Multi-Band Power amplifier Silicon Image 9244 low-power MHL Transmitter NXP PN544 NFC Chip. Infineon PMB5712 RF transceiver https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/iSxZ1SQMJAKAnXZo The glass is fused to the display, and the display to the Galaxy S III's frame. This will greatly increase the amount of money one has to spend when replacing the glass, should one be unfortunate enough to break it. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GsJ5wwxKE2AO1OKO Some more shots of that saucy camera, including a Chipworks x-ray! Chipworks report that the camera has a Sony BSI sensor. Contrary to earlier reports, their initial inspection suggests it is a new sensor, and not the same one used in the iPhone 4S. The bond pad arrangement is not the same as the IMX145 found in the iPhone 4S nor is it the same as the IMX105 found in previous Samsung phones. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/DVlGToAvNNlIA4qD https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/dwRHlfUcHjakGsZl https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/dQMaLOU4UBLtTPn3 Update: This teardown was conducted solely via Interweb, requiring us to defer judgment on a repairability score. Now that we've worked on it ourselves, we can assign it a fair score: Samsung Galaxy SIII Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair) The battery can be replaced without any tools. Very easy to open and access internal components. There are only 12 screws in the entire device, all standard Phillips #0 (no proprietary or security sizes). Smaller components (antennas, vibrator, light sensor) are modular and can be replaced individually, but are adhered to the front panel. The glass is fused to both the display and the display frame, increasing repair costs. You'll have to go through the entire phone in order to replace the front panel, since everything is built into the back of it. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ANYOAOaEGFD5oJhw https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/bLAULiiEYThHEBxL 2012-06-01T07:49:38-07:00

text: Norwich boys basketball coach Tom Collier has heard the comparisons to the 1993-1994 sectional championship teams that went on to win Class B state titles. Colliers Purple Tornado won their second straight Section IV title Saturday night against Whitney Point. While this years corps of purple and white-clad cagers matched the basketball programs feat of two decades ago, Collier said any resemblance between the two groups of teams begins and ends with the twin titles.

The Story So Far
It's hard to believe that my internship is already over. Eight weeks may seem like a long time, but a few bug bites and a speeding ticket later, here I am saying my goodbyes.
This summer, I traveled to just about every corner of the state – Quartz Mountain, Seminole, Okemah, Miami. I am affectionately known as the "roadtrip guy" in the photo department.
I am grateful that I had this summer as an opportunity to tell the story of summer in Oklahoma.
I picked out my 10 favorite images that I think captured what summer was in Oklahoma this year.
Hopefully this will not be my last blog post for The Oklahoman and NewsOK, but it is for now.
Good luck to my fellow interns in their pursuits of journalism and life.
Those who wish to follow my blog posts can do so here.

Oak Creek - An anonymous caller threatened to kill an employee at Pick 'n Save, 2320 W. Ryan Road, Sunday, while warning that the store would be "shot up," according to an Oak Creek police report.
The report states:
At 2:54 p.m. Nov. 25, an employee received a phone call from an unidentified male who stated: "This is an officer. My boss told me to call you. I'm supposed to tell you that your store is going to get shot up. Listen to my directions, sit in the corner or I will kill you."
After the caller hung up, the employee called her manager, who then called police. Officers searched the store, the parking lot and surrounding business parking lots but did not find anything suspicious.
The manager called the phone number the call had originated from, but no one picked up the phone and there was no answering machine.
The call in this incident is similar to a threatening phone call received at the Bay View Pick 'n Save a day earlier. In the Bay View case, the store received three phone calls that sounded like pranks, but escalated by the third call into threats to shoot up the store. In that case, the store was shut down until 6 a.m. for security reasons.
Store security is working with their information technology department and will follow up with police when they receive more information. In the meantime, an extra police watch was requested at the store.

Okay Ladies ...
You all seem to know everything around here, so I thought I'd give you a try on this one...
I'm on the tail end of a cold that my lovely almost one year old passed along. Feeling much better in general, but then I went to blow my nose last night and it came out neon yellow ! I swear I've never seen quite this color come out of me before... (TMI, I'm sure)
Since I'm still breastfeeding, I'm always a little more concerned about what I may be passing on to Logan through the breastmilk. Should I be worried that it's a sinus infection or maybe just give the cold a few more days to work itself out ?
I have been on antibiotics twice now in the last few months (for strep throat) and the last thing I want is more pills to take.
Any experience with this and what it could possibly be ? Thanks so much !
- Michelle

Skip to comments.Akins Support Craters in Missouri
Posted on 08/26/2012 3:00:52 PM PDT by rhema
Support for Republican Todd Akins decision to stay in the Missouri Senate race has cratered and so has his favorability. Those findings come from two new polls conducted after Akin created a firestorm with his comment about legitimate rape.
Republicans, by a 47 percent to 37 percent margin, think he should drop out of the Senate contest against Democrat Claire McCaskill, and self-described Akin supporters believe the same by 50 percent to 34 percent, according to a Mason-Dixon survey. Only Democrats, sensing hes likely to lose, want him to remain a candidate, 47 percent to 37 percent.
And in a poll for conservative groups, only 24 percent of Missouri voters looked favorably on Akin and 54 percent said they regard him unfavorably.
Before his rape comment two weeks ago, Akin had a solid lead over McCaskill. Republicans counted Missouri as a likely victory that would help them take control of the Senate. Now their chances look shaky.
While Romney did well in the poll for conservative organizations, leading President Obama in Missouri by 54 percent to 41 percent, Akin trailed McCaskill, 44 percent to 36 percent. A few weeks ago, he led by five percentage points. He was ahead by 11 percentage points among independents but now is 17 points behind. Independents, by 57 percent to 25 percent, want him to drop out.
Akin, however, has vowed to stay in the race. His freefall in the two polls will make that decision more difficult to defend.
You lost
Fortunately, it looks like this selfish loser won't cost Romney the state. Although Rasmussen showed him down, it was only a point, and he'll recover from the bad press Aken caused the past 10 days. Akin still needs to get out...although at this point, another candidate would still have to deal with his stench. This was a guaranteed win 2 weeks ago. A real shame.
Are these the same polls that many said were manipulated at first to keep him in? Does this mean they are now being manipulated to push him out?
He will lose MO and lost MO for Romney. It's time to tell Huckerbee, Suckerbee, Buckerbee, Bumblebee, to stop supporting this idiot and have him withdraw from the race, now!
Right or wrong is one thing. Win or lose is another. If you can't win, being right doesn't mean anything.
No, the poll you're referring to is the PPP/Kos poll, which is as Leftie as it gets, and the results were clearly skewed to convince the gullible (Akin, Huckster, et al) that Akin should stay in.
The Mason-Dixon poll is quite reliable, and unfortunately, predicts a pretty easy reelection for Frau McCaskill. But hey, at least the Huckster's folks are happy!
What a plan. Abandon the good guy on the field of battle and complain that he will lose.
Lots of folks have their panties in a wad over Akin. Clairbell couldn't win this state now if she was the only one on the ballot.
They won by losing.. How I don't know...
While that is the popular thought in GOP circles, there is no guaranteed win against McCasket and never was. She has the uncanny ability to survive sure defeats, to lie with believability, and to rise from the dead at election time to deceive the multitudes. This was always going to be a tough race.
But that's not the plan Akin followed. Instead, he did this: said something indefensible, gave two incoherent interviews to reinforce the idiocy, stayed in the race until it was too late to easily replace him with an equally conservative candidate who could win, and then complained about the GOP abandoning him.
Quite a plan!
I think you're right. It's only August, and voters have a short memory. I'm sure McCaskill will do something stupid between now and Election Day, too.
"If you cant win, being right doesnt mean anything."
Jeses has completely nullified statements like this.
A week ago, Mark Levin said if he had his druthers Akin would drop out, but if he doesn't, conservatives should support him. But alas, Akin decided to stay in the race and Levin has been against him ever since.
I still think he pulls it out because of the turnout to make sure OBozo is beaten. And those voters will vote for Akins over McCaskill because they're not going to pass on a vote which would gaurantee McCaskill as a Senator.
It is a sad story. Todd Akin was about to become a U.S. Senator. It was his to lose. The polls favored him and all he had to do was stay alert, focused, disciplined and eternally thankful for the good fortune that fell into his lap.
Instead of realizing how fortuante he was that two better known candidates beat each other up, which allowed him to steal victory, he threw caution to the wind and gave a sloppy, incredibly stupid off-the-cuff answer to deadly serious question. Unbeliveable!
In an instant his crowning professional political ambition to become a U.S. Senator came crashing to a halt. The sheer speed of his fall and the extent of damage done to his campaign appears to be so overwhelming that he refuses to accept it. Deep down he must know he has fatally damaged his chances of ever defeating Senator Claire McCaskill but apparently he is still in denial and grasping at anything to salvage his candidacy and return to the place he was just a mere ten days ago.
It is a devastating personal tragedy for Todd Akin but one he brought upon himself. He has nobody to blame except himself and his own personal hubris and unwillingness to stay focused and disciplined.
We will soon learn what type of man Todd Akin really is. Is he big enough to accept the consequences of his own actions? Is he smart enough to realize he cannot lead or champion the causes he claims to hold so dear? When will he step aside and let another candidate that is not fatally damaged take up the charge against McCaskill and the liberals.
Todd, go out a winner. Do the right thing, the big thing, the courageous thing and let someone else lead the fight. Someone else that can win.
Hopefully we can replace Missouri's senate seat from somewhere else.
NO man is worth allowing that happen.
This is about conservatism, not Akin or anybody else.
Too bad for those who don't like it. He's staying in the race.
His numbers tanked far more because his "friends" in the Gop-E spent the last week hacking, slicing and dicing their own man.
His comment was not nearly as damning as challenged McCain on his famous white night ride to washington to save the nation from economic collapse, only to come out of a meeting naked, supporting a tarp-type response, and looking really, really stupid.
But, his party didn't give up on him.
Let's see...47-37. That won't be the first come from behind from a 10 point deficit in the history of political races. Let's see. Akin gaining five means McCaskill going down by five among the decideds, and there's a measley 16% undecided or other still up for grabs.
Unfortunately, of course, the election is going to be held tomorrow in Missouri on the 27th of August this year. So, we'll know the winner on Tuesday. Really sad they're doing it that way this year instead of waiting the 2 and a quarter months left until the rest of the nation votes.
Care to place a bet Stellfish? Methinks Romney will win Missouri.
If I win, I get some $$$$ and a chance to spend it.
If I lose, the money I give you won't be worth squat in Obama's 2nd term.
Either way....you lose.
"Too bad for those who dont like it. Hes staying in the race."
At this point any true conservative in Missouri should plan on voting for Akin if he continues to foolishly stay in the race until November.
For those folks who wish to support Akin by donations and working for his campaign, have at it. Hes apparently in to stay and I hope he wins although he has damaged his chances.
For both those who support Akin and those who choose to not do so, there are an abundance of other DESERVING conservative Republican Senatorial candidates who are very deserving of our support. The ones that my family and I have chosen to support with our limited time and funds are:
Josh Mandel in Ohio,
Ted Cruz in Texas,
Rick Berg in North Dakota,
Jeff Flake in Arizona
Deb Fischer in Nebraska,
Richard Mourdock in Indiana
Denny Rehberg in Montana
Pete Hoekstra in Michigan
and, possibly:
George Allen in Virginia and others can be added to the list.
I think that all believers in our conservative principles will agree that this is a list of conservative Republicans very deserving of our support and well-wishes for victory in November.
We have significant political battles across the nation and need to remember those. Support these folks to the extent you can.
What is it the RINOs keep repeating in regard to mitt - "you go to war with the army you've got."
Well, here's a chance all those same yellow bellies here to demonstrate a little consistency.
Amen! Akin is a right man for the Senate but not one who can now win it. Thank God he's not the only one in America who shares the same beliefs. Question is, is it too late now?
I think it is unfortunately. If I'm right about that he owns this inevitable defeat.
The bad news is that it will backfire on the conservative movement ESPECIALLY if his defeat costs us the majority in the Senate.
His initial comment made people suspect he was an idiot.
His follow-up "clarification" confirmed it for most.
He has zero chance at winning the Missouri Senate seat and because of that has done considerable damage to the conservative cause he claims to support.
What is it the RINOs keep repeating in regard to mitt - "you go to war with the army you've got."
Well, here's a chance for all those same folks to demonstrate a little consistency.
This is pretty dumb. Of course his numbers would be down, after having been pounded by everyone and his uncle in both parties for the past week.
Maybe conservatives should get their heads screwed back on and support him, since he's the only candidate for the job that we have. And, aside from this kerfuffle, he is a good, solid 97% certified conservative.
We don't want consistency. What we wanted was to be able to blame the RINOs and Romney if Obama beat him in November. Don't you get it?
If we lose the Senate because of Akin, we will be the blame. We were suppose to win all of our conservative campaigns to show the RINOs that we can do it because our philosophy is the majority, that Americans do not want compromise between the parties.
We have a responsibility to WIN, not just to be a good man. Win is the objective.
October Surprise comes early for Akin.... a real "macaca moment".... Does this Akin-dunce have brain or a handler?
We Conservatives are a strange lot. A small number of us insist that there is only standard for consideration to political office: absolute purity of word and heart to Conservative principles. No deviance from ideological purity is allowed.
All of this is well and good, we all want solid Conservatives to lead us out of this abyss and we are deeply suspicious of those who may appear to be going wobbly.
But, there is another measure that is of equal importance to the ideological metric: electability. If you can't get elected, you are just another pure of heart Conservative loser. Conservatives have a bent for selecting such losers, election night ballrooms are drowned in the tears of the concession speeches.
In this political world, winning counts. Democrats understand this, and are willing to sacrifice everything else to achieve victory. Conservatives are not. We would rather be smug losers, congratulating ourselves that our candidate was no faint heart in the fight against the evil Left. Faint heart, perhaps not, but he was fatally wounded going over the top and the entire attack failed for lack of a leader who could both advance the Conservative cause and stand triumphant on the enemies' parapet.
Akin died going over the top. Time for a new leader in the Missouri Senate race.
Surrender or lose are not the only two options here. Replace is another option and Akin can be replaced with someone as conservative.
No bet I hope you win. But remember to ping me on election night results in MO.
No he won't. Try actually reading the polling data instead of just mindlessly screaming your emotion based opinions
Electability - if you cannot get elected everything else is out the window in politics.
Better to sign up for a Freeper account. You'll make a much bigger difference.
As soon as there is viable candidate that can carry on. Can you give us a name of one???
Why don't you post the data right here that you're looking at that shows an Akin victory?
So the nasty evil GOP operatives decided to blithely toss the senate seat to the democrats in this critical election, simply because the Republican candidate was a "genuine conservative"?
Ya know, SL, I've run across far too many ABOs who appear to just parrot the media. The truth is determined by both who in the media said it and how many of them agreed.
And if you are wrong not only do you deserve to lose, the people who suported you deserve whatever they get either way.
Ryan voted for TARP, same as McCain did.
Romney has said he would have voted for TARP.
Absolutely!. If it's a candidate that represents our beliefs, shares our philosophy, is a true conservative... yes, win at any cost! Win is the objective. Period.
Akin is not the only conservative in Missouri.
Yes, it is very truly wise. If we lose, the RINOs will be empowered.
lets see:
to at many if not most conservatives Akin is toxic
to RINOs Akin is toxic
to independents he is toxic
to most women he is toxic
to Dem voters he is toxic
I see that he has got a winning strategy. It cant be just the RINOs fault.
There are none so blind as those, WHO WILL NOT SEE THE FREAKING TRUTH ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE DONE, and humbly step aside...
to Dem voters he is
toxic a blessing
Wow it took Barnes forever to get on the throw Akins under the bus bandwagon. Glad he is the only politician to misspeak. He will recover if he uses this issue to his advantage.
Pray for America

Frontier Room
Relatives, friends, and other cheery or weary travelers descend upon Seattle in full-force every holiday season. In my family, when out-of-towners arrive each December babies are bundled, cameras are dutifully slung over the shoulders of in-laws, and a small parade of cars descend upon downtown for a big dinner.
Frontier Room
See Also: 2012's Best Restaurants for Small Fries
2012's Best Restaurants for Small Fries
So where do you eat with a group when at least one well-meaning relative lives solely on meat and potatoes? The following five restaurants are within walking distance to holiday merriment, including the carousel at Westlake Park and Pike Place Market. They also hit a happy balance between serving at least mildly interesting and universally loved food that you, your kid, and your uncle from Omaha will admire.
What to order: Originally opened in the 50s, the Frontier Room on First and Blanchard serves mounds of barbecued meat and carby, Southern-inspired sides. The "ranch hand" chicken, pork, and beef platter will keep everyone but vegetarians appeased.
Where to sit: The back room has long tables and curved booths that accommodate large groups.
The details: Reservations are accepted and kids are welcome until the bewitching hour of 10 p.m. At last check, the restaurant had yet to decide if it will be open Christmas Eve or Day.
What to order: Lecosho sits a stone's throw from the Market on Harbor Steps. Before opening Il Corvo, chef Mike Easton brought refined rustic flavor profiles to the restaurant. Beautiful, fresh fish and hearty pork mains are hard not to like.
Where to sit: The restaurant is long and lean. If you have strollers or a lot of gear for kids, pick a different restaurant. Older children should be fine.
The details: Reservations are accepted; kids are tolerated; Lecosho is closed Christmas Eve and Day.
What to order: You'll feel good eating re-imagined comfort food sourced within 360 miles of Seattle at Belltown's Local 360, even if particular members of your extended family could care less. The pig ears are a conversation starter and the mac & cheese served in a cast iron pan is a meal in itself. Be forewarned: your kid's eyes may pop out of his head at the sight of the pb & j bon bons.
Where to sit: Booths seating six line the main dining room. There's ample space for larger parties at Tolix chaired-tables on the mezzanine and in a cozy back room.
The details: Reservations are accepted; kids are welcome; Local 360 is open Christmas Eve and closed Christmas Day.
What to order: Wild Ginger on 3rd Ave. and Union St. is known for accommodating every sort of diet and taste preference. The heat can be turned up or muffled on most any of Wild Ginger's Asian-inspired dishes, and plates are offered in small or large portions to encourage sampling. Vegans will be happy to find their own menu. Buddha fresh rolls dressed up with pineapple dipping sauce and the salty sweet seven flavor beef are crowd pleasers.
Where to sit: Large tables are scattered throughout the restaurant, but kids may be best contained inside one of many over-sized booths.
The details: Reservations are accepted; kids are welcome; Wild Ginger is open until 8 p.m. Christmas Eve and closed Christmas Day.
What to order: Located in the heart of Pike Place Market, Steelhead Diner is used to serving waves of tourists and/or large groups. While the menu's broad range can be chaotic, classics like the shrimp po boy and poutine are satisfying gut bombs.
Where to sit: There are a few large tables with views of Elliott Bay near the front window that will impress out of town guests. Request one if you can.
The details: Reservations are accepted; kids are welcome; Steelhead is open Christmas Eve and closed Christmas Day.

I do like that look. I was looking at the Tubus Cosmo on-line and
It looks a lot like it is welded. I like the nickel silver idea because I don't have a welder that will join small tubes that neatly. I am looking at the 3/8" OD and 7/16 OD 308 stainless in McMaster and Carr. Both are .028 wall thickness. Is that what you used? I am building a front rack and will need to butt joint the tubing in two places. I am trying to find a convenient smaller diameter tube that will act as an internal sleeve with 3/8 or 7/16 OD tubing. Any thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated too!

Really good versatile 7.1 Headset
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: I've had this headset over 2 years now and had bought this in 10/31/2013. And to this day I still am using this headset for my computer while gaming, watching movies, listening to music or all at the same time. Here's a list of the pro's on this item:
Cons: Just a few cons that don't really affect the quality of the sound of the product but here are some to list:
Other Thoughts: I specifically bought this because of multi-platform and 7.1 Channel support. I find this headset a worthy piece of gaming technology that will serve well for a long time. But for it's price you'd expect a much better mic quality or at least for the manufacturers not to skimp out on the cable lengths. This headset is great for regular gaming on multiple platforms, watching movies or music listening if you can afford it. But if you want to use this for professional or media purposes you'd best look elsewhere due to the soft static at high volumes and fluctuating mic audio volume.

Mic Gate Noise
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: Though the stand may feel cheap, the headset itself is solid. You can feel the quality and sturdiness of the device. I've had this for almost two years and the headset still holds up really well.
Cons: This issue will drive you mad and as of right now there is no fix: the mic gate noise (a buzzing sound that comes from the right ear cup) activates whenever you speak into the mic. Normally you won't be able to hear this if you're listening to music and the volume is above a whisper but during moments when there is no sound coming from the pc/ps4/xbox you will most definitely notice the noise. I currently have the latest firmware (which were released last year) and still have this issue. From the threads I've read on Astro's website it appears that there is no fix for this since it is working as "designed". Please reconsider buying this headset as the buzz sound is noticeable and according to them will affect all headsets.
Other Thoughts: I liked that the headset was solid and very comfortable but am annoyed by the buzzing sound.

good but expensive
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: great sound that brings a smile to your face, beautiful design, comes with a stand, headset feels sturdy and of good quality material, mic seems awesome. cool idea of mic mute. not bad of a range.
Cons: expensive, the little transmitter and stand feels cheap. would have been nice if they could have used metal. ear cushion absorbs heat making summer use nearly impossible unless youre ok with sweating in 300 dollar headsets.

Amazing Headset
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: Look great, great sound, very durable, rechargable, wireless
Cons: Mic quality isn't the best
Other Thoughts: The Astro A50 is great for gamers playing on any platform. The sound is the best out there and this headset will last you a long time.

Illest set of headphones out there
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: So I've had the Astro A50 headset for just over a month now. This is by far the illest headset on the market. I have it paired up with a Sound Blaster Z 5.1 PCI-e sound card. I play a lot of BF4 and it sounds absolutely amazing. And for those nights you cuddle up with a beer and some tunes, … there are no words for the happiness.
Cons: LEDs are red. I'm going to figure out a way to change that. The rest of my LEDs in my build are blue. If I figure it out, there will be a youtube video or something because I seriously doubt anyone else is crazy enough to crack this thing open and solder in there.
Other Thoughts: I've been messing with/building/programming for about 15 years as a point of reference.

Good Product, Terrible Support
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: - The headset is very comfortable and fits snugly on the head
Cons: - Expensive, easily one of the most expensive headsets you can get for gaming
Other Thoughts: After 9 months of use the headset will now no longer stay on when not plugged in and "charging". Even if left plugged in for days the headset turns off after 3 mins of being unplugged. I can then turn it back on, and it will stay on for about 3-4 mins before turning back off again. Not sure if this is a firmware issue (using the latest and have been for months) or the battery has finally died, or the headsets built in "power saving" feature is on the fritz.

Best Multi-Platform Headset, Period.
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: This headset provides the best in comfort and sound quality that I have ever experienced in a universal gaming headset.
Cons: windows defaults to USB connectivity even though USB is mainly plugged in for power. The USB connectivity mode provides the WORST sound quality of the connectivity options available out of the box and never once did not produce static. however, since it is clearly intended as a power supply method and not as sound transfer, I will not be deducting any eggs for this particular con.
Other Thoughts: This headset is amazingly comfy, provides amazing sound, and Astro seems to have a keen eye in presentation as the included headset stand is a wonderful, albeit a small touch. I constantly forget I'm wearing them because they are so comfy and I absolutely love that.

Best Headset Ever
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: Great Headset! Have been using it for almost a year now and it's by far the best headset I've had. (It better be for the cost!) I'm a gamer and love to have the great sound quality and also be able to do voice chat during games. This headset does it all.
Cons: The only con I have is it took a little while for the docking station to sync with my computer. Once I got it to connect and get my computer to recognize whenever the headset was on to take priority there has been ZERO problems.

Great headset
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: The first thing you will notice about this headset is how comfortable it is to wear. I've had turtle beaches, razors, and a multitude of other headsets, and this, to me, is the most comfortable I've ever worn. The sound quality is extremely good, and with the mix amp and any sound card it makes it movie theater quality. The voice quality is also extremely good, and everything transmits crisp and clear with little to no background noise, even with my pc running with 7 fans right next to me.
Cons: The only con I have is that I can't use them with my laptop because it doesn't have an optical output, which I guess is my fault because I didn't think about that when ordering the laptop. Other than that it is a great headset
Other Thoughts: Thankfully you get what you pay for, and this headset delivered for me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?
This review is from: Astro Gaming A50 Circumaural Headset - Black
Pros: ear cups and comfort - the foam is really soft and doesn't generate as much heat as I thought it would. So comfortable that I find myself forgetting I'm wearing it even though I'm wearing glasses while having these headphones on
Cons: This is where my biggest issue I experienced using this headphones. On my second day of using this expensive headset. it decided to stick a middle finger at me and stop responding to me. I was unable to shut it off via power button, the volume wheel on the headset stopped working as well, When I plug the headset into the mixamp, it doesn't connect so it couldn't recharge. I email Astro tech support about this problem and received multiple emails from them the following day, and was of no help as this problem reoccur many times. I've decided to file for a replacement headset and hopefully the newer one will be better than the last.
Other Thoughts: I'm dissapointed with Astro, for a 300 dollar headset anyone would think the quality of the headsets are much better than that. I'm giving them a second chance, and the second one has problems then I'm done with Astro completely.

What are we looking for?
At the end of 2009, we created a portfolio of U.S. stocks using the "Magic Formula." Let's check in with our stocks one last time before we create a new portfolio using the strategy.
The background
The Magic Formula aims to give investors the best of both worlds – stocks that are both profitable and cheap. The formula's inventor, U.S. hedge fund manager Joel Greenblatt, outlined his strategy in The Little Book that Beats the Market, published in 2006.
Mr. Greenblatt focuses on two measures in particular: return on capital and earnings yield.
The higher the return on capital – which he defines as pretax operating profit divided by the sum of net working capital and net fixed assets – the more effectively a company is using its capital to generate profit.
The higher the earnings yield – which he defines as pretax operating profit divided by enterprise value, or the sum of stock and debt – the more attractive the stock is from a valuation standpoint.
Our portfolio
We used the stock screener at magicformulainvesting.com to select U.S. companies with a minimum market capitalization of about $2-billion (U.S.). The screener lets you choose portfolios of 30 or 50 stocks; we only wanted 20, so we created a 30-stock portfolio and took the first 20 in ascending order of market capitalization.
We invested a hypothetical $50,000 in each stock, for a total of $1-million.
The results
From Dec. 31, 2009, through Apr. 21, 2011, our Magic Formula portfolio gained 41.4 per cent in U.S. dollars (excluding dividends). That more than double the S&P 500, which gained about 20 per cent over the same period.

Children North East has used funding from players to help over 11,500 children and young people live happy and healthy lives.
18 May 2011
Money raised by our players is helping people across Scotland to plant more trees
Our Street Prize presenter, Angus Purden, put down his golden cheques and picked up a spade to help communities in Kingussie get planting.
He joined green-fingered pupils from Kingussie Primary School, members of the Kingussie Development Company and players from the local Shinty Club.
Kingussie is just one of hundreds of communities across Scotland to receive free tree packs from our charity partner, Woodland Trust Scotland.
Len Cruickshank from Kingussie Development Company said: "Tree planting is a fantastic and fun way for us to do something lasting and beneficial in our local areas, whilst bringing the local community together. We hope trees will help attract wildlife and make a real difference to the local community."
Woodland Trust Scotland aims to double the number of native trees and woods in Scotland through their More Trees, More Good campaign.
Rebecca Whitley from the Woodland Trust Scotland said: "We have been overwhelmed by people's enthusiasm to plant trees. Communities are transforming spaces within their neighbourhoods, growing their own fruits and food, creating shade and shelter, and providing new homes for wildlife. Scotland is one of the least wooded countries in Europe so we are delighted that groups in Kingussie are helping reverse this trend."
Our players have raised over £239,500 for Woodland Trust Scotland to date. That funding has enabled 53 community groups to plant over 14,000 trees this spring alone.
Visit the More Trees, More Good website to apply for free tree packs or get top tips on how to get started.

"Iraq Is Not a Suitable Place To Live as a Human"
Why more than 1 million Iraqi exiles remain in Syria.
Arshad begged them to let him go, promising to repent. They knew nothing about his portrait work with the U.S. military. But this was one warning too many, and Arshad says he was determined to flee the country. He took his wife and two children to Syria on May 18, 2005. Within a few weeks, his parents were forced out of their home in Dura. This was a mixed neighborhood, and Shiites were being "cleansed" from the area by radical Sunni militants.
Since he had been threatened by both Sunnis and Shiites, I asked Arshad whether he identified himself as a Sunni or a Shiite.
"I don't really know, but you have to know to live in Iraq," says Arshad, who has a Sunni father and a Shiite mother—not unusual among Baghdad's urban elite. "This is one of the reasons I left. One reason I won't go back. I have to feel myself as a human being, and I can't be a real human being if I have to declare whether I am Shiite or Sunni."
This is a common fear among Iraqi exiles. Returning to Iraq means choosing to live in Sunni or Shiite enclaves divided by high concrete walls. It means choosing a side and staking your life on that decision. The real-estate dilemma dictates the choice. Arshad's family home is now lost, because it is occupied by another family, which is likely to have been cleansed from yet another neighborhood. Moving back to Baghdad means choosing a new neighborhood, a new Iraq.
As difficult as it is to survive in Damascus, Arshad says he will wait things out in Syria. He has joined thousands of other Iraqis hoping for resettlement, a rescue that may never come.
Sam, a lawyer from Baghdad, has another plan for his future. We meet in a busy cafe, where Sam, in a leather jacket and a Dolce & Gabbana T-shirt, chain-smokes as he describes his life in Damascus over the past two years. Inflation is rampant; even potatoes are now expensive for the poor. The Syrian government does not permit Iraqis to work, although there is a thriving illegal job market, especially for child labor in factories, restaurants, and street markets. Sam tried to open an Internet cafe, but he ran afoul of the security police. Now, he says, he wants to use what little savings he has left to pay a smuggler to take him to Greece.
Every Iraqi here knows someone who has made it out by the smuggling routes. They also know someone who has been arrested on arrival or cheated out of his or her life savings for a chance at escape. But the underground route is a gamble those Iraqis who can afford it are willing to take.
Greece has become the preferred destination. Sweden was once considered the safest haven, but in February, the Swedish government rejected 72 percent of Iraqi asylum applicants. This winter, Sweden signed an agreement with the Iraqi government to allow forced repatriation, and more than 11,000 Iraqis are likely to be sent back to Baghdad after their asylum claims are rejected. The backlog of Iraqis is still flowing through the illegal pipeline. A new U.N. report shows that Iraqis were the largest group seeking asylum in the European Union.
"Iraq is not a suitable place to live as a human. There are no dreams left in Iraq," says Sam, who didn't tell me his last name. "Everything is broken there." For Sam and thousands of other Iraqi exiles in Damascus, the recent lull in the killings in Baghdad is not enough to entice them home. They have middle-class values and middle-class dreams. As long as Iraq cannot accommodate their vision for an ordinary future, they will struggle in the uncertain life of exile.
