Camera Comparison: LG G2 vs Samsung Galaxy S4, iPhone 5, HTC One
Conclusion and overall score
Then there's the iPhone 5 – a smartphone that has managed to stand its ground among the best cameraphones even though it has been on the market for nearly a year. But it isn't quite the best anymore. Sure, it gets the job done well, but the competition is getting heated so Apple better be readying a camera upgrade for the next iPhone iteration.
As for the HTC One, well, its Ultrapixel camera sounds like a great idea in theory, with its larger pixels and all. But the actual results fail to impress – photos and videos simply lack the detail we've come to expect from a modern camera, while the optical image stabilization doesn't have that major of an impact as expected. Of course, the HTC One is still a decent cameraphone and will get the job done in case there's nothing else around. Just don't expect any miracles out of it.

I knew from the first sample shots that LG's G2 would dominate. Well done!

WHERE IS NOKIA LUMIA 1020 ? o.O

This is not the best time to include the Nokia Lumia 1020 in this camera comparison. As we all know, the Lumia 1020 is a beast of a cameraphone which will blow these phones away, that's why they didn't include it in this comparison.

Nokia 1020 loses everywhere besides the camera, both are good cameras though.
Lumia 1020:
130.4 mm x 71.4 mm x 10.4 mm, 158.0 g
138.5 mm x 70.9 mm x 8.9 mm, 143 g
So the G2 is only 8mm taller, the G2 is lighter and the G2 is a little skinny width wise yet the screen is huge compared to the 1020. The G2 also doesn't run a cancer fueled OS and has hardware to justify the price.

I agree that the G2 is better than the Lumia 1020 in almost every aspects. But comparing the size between the G2 and the Lumia 1020 doesn't make any sense. The Lumia 1020 is bulkier and heavier is because of the large 41 MP camera sensor on the back of the Lumia 1020.
Cancer fueled OS? Come on Shatter, Windows Phone is growing. In the next few years, you will see Windows Phone become a Turbo Diesel OS. Just give it some time to grow.

people dont realize that we as consumers need more than a duopoly, so more than 2 OS is better to have, android and IOS shouldnt dominate, need more manufacturers to get a third OS, and yes WP8 while doesnt have much apps, does have some apps that are great and its fluid, we will have to keep watch as it grows, just hoping more gets developed on it.

Lumia 920 is an even bigger brick compared to the G2. Your argument is invalid.
Height: 130.3 mm
Width: 70.8 mm
Thickness2: 10.7 mm
Weight: 185.0 g
Also the 41MP sensor has nothing to do with the weight, look at the 920 that thing weighs 30 more grams than the 1020.
No bulky camera senesors to be seen here yet it weighs double the difference between the g2 and 1020.

Nobody looks at the reasons why one phone is a huge fricking brick and one isn't. They just look at which phone is bigger and which phone is slim and sexy and ignore the fatty with a big ugly camera hump.

I would rather take the G2 over the 1020 because even though the 1020 has the best camera on the market the app ecosystem is not currently at a point where I feel it is justified switching platforms. This is coming from a person who has recently purchased a 1520 and will most likely be exchanging it for a G2. Even though the camera on Nokia's phone is amazing and the in-house apps are pleasure to use, I am constantly aggravated by the current 3rd party app support that either has a list of apps that aren't currently available or mainstream apps that have not received an update in a long time and which makes them inferior to their ios and android counterparts. Even if the G2 doesn't have a better camera than Nokia's offerings it's still the best camera that android currently has to offer as well as it being coupled with various ways to share and backup your photos.

no need to include the NL1020. because if that is included, no need to even go through the entire article. we already know the winner!

You pretty much know what your getting with the 1020; a powerful camera with a average smartphone. The contestants here are powerful smartphones with average cameras.
The S4 Zoom is more comparable to the 1020 and the 1020 kills it. End of story. Maybe when the Sony Z1 comes out you will have a 1020 comparison.
42. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Probably because it is a camera comparison between top shelf phones that people actually want. No point including phones with deal breaking humps and deal breaking low screen resolution and deal breaking lack of apps.
When deciding a phone i'll weigh everything but i would just ignore the Lumia 1020 section because I know for a fact that the added camera hump and lower screen resolution is not worth the better camera for me.
This comparison is basically to see which well rounded phone has the best camera. Not for people looking for the best camera. If you add the 1020 then you might as well add some compact point and shoots and the GS4 zoom. That isn't what the readers want though. They want to know which no compromise phone has the best camera. Anyone can make a great camera with an ugly hump. The trick is doing it without affecting the phone in any way, which is what the phones in this comparison does, except for the HTC One which has a horrible camera.

Lumia 1020 is the best cameraphone, it's compared to DSLR Canon Rebel XS and Lumia 1020 won the comparison for detail and color representation. but the LG G2 is much better than LG's flagships before and have a great camera.

camera comparison without NOKIA ..Great!!
the best company when it come to phone camera and it's not here ..
#people will say it's not fair coz lumia 1020 is pure camera beast..but u can put lumia 920/925 !!
9. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
They posted a comparision eearly with the 1020.
11. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
agreed. if u r gonna put htc one then also put 925
18. Ninetysix (Posts: 2384; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
Is this good enough?
iP5 = 8
Note2 = 8
Lumia 925 = 7
Htc One = 7
21. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
Oviously not, coz:
1. uve missed the point, which was to include it in THIS comparison.
2. Dude that comparison is probably the WORST comparison i have ever seen
31. yasir-921 (Posts: 81; Member since: 02 Oct 2012)
You're right. Apparantly, it seems to be not a fair review. How can a Note II with 8MP equals with the S4 with 13MP?
6. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1455; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
Well done LG, G2 is truly a monster phone.
and i hope HTC ditch ultra pixel thing because it's kinda under performing compared to its opponents in almost every comparison. HTC One looks great but camera kinda disappointing.
impressed by iPhone 5. Last year phone still standing up to most of this years flagship phones. This is what i love about Apple, they may not be top in all department but still hold their ground. Decent premium looking phone

LG now just say THANX to SONY for making such nice SENSORS
12. SonyPS4 (Posts: 344; Member since: 21 May 2013)
I think GS4 and Iphone5 also use Sony sensor
41. Trex95 (Posts: 905; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
All phones camera BSI sensor that made by Sony.
45. guruprasad (Posts: 33; Member since: 13 Jul 2011)
who said all bsi sensors r made by sony... omni vision makes bsi sensors so does lg which manufactures their own. the one in optimus g was made by lg itself...
14. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
The G2 delivers around the S4 Octa, slightly less details and lower dynamic range, but slightly better low-light performance. It's perfectly acceptable and would choose the G2 over the S4 anyway. Let's just wait and see what the Note III has to say about that. And the Sony Honami. And the Oppo N1. And then we can throw in the 808 and the Lumia 1020 and have the ultimate camera showdown. Until then, well done LG (well, technically well done Sony!).
17. papss (unregistered)
I pretty much agree with you but the last part.. LG software is also the reason for great pics
39. Trex95 (Posts: 905; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
Still this nothing wait for Xperia Z1 aka Honmai vs IPhone 5S 12 MP vs Note 3 13 MP OIS then will see which one the best.
22. yasir-921 (Posts: 81; Member since: 02 Oct 2012)
Oh My God Becky, Look at the phone! Its so fantastic (:P)
The beating by the G2 in camera department specially shows that the G2 is really some thing outstanding!
Great job done by LG.
It's my next phone.
Hey Nick T, I would like to add that the SG S4 performs not that great in low light and indoor shots! LG implementing the OIS in a 13MP Camera would really change such results!
24. FaisalWibowo11 (Posts: 163; Member since: 12 Aug 2013)
Good God, why in the blue hell do phonearena teams put HTC one in camera comparison again? it always comes as the worst performer for goodness' sake!
They should put recent firmware updated Sony Xperia Z to make this camera comparison more fair and rounded (three 13MP cameras and 1 8MP camera)
I remembered the last time xperia z was in a camera comparison, it finished third with a score of 6.7 behind iphone 5 (6.8) and galaxy s4 (7.6) and defeated galaxy s3 (6.4), lumia 920 (6.3) and HTC One (5.9)
i'm sure with the recent firmware xperia z will at least beat iphone 5, don't know the chances of beating galaxy s4 and lg g2 though
29. yasir-921 (Posts: 81; Member since: 02 Oct 2012)
SGS4 can be dumped for a G2. Reason being the OIS while allows better low light shots at which the SGS4 lags behind!
I have taken over a thousand shots with my SGS4. From potraits to close ups of our family, cat to few wedding shoots and many landscapes.
My SGS4 struggled in HDR Mode where the difference in shades between a normal shot and an HDR shot was minimal! Moreover, it captured only average low light indoor and outdoor shots. The panoramas were also Ok. One thing I noticed while capturing wedding shots in a hall is that there is different lighting in different parts of the hall. For instance, the stage is sufficiently lit, the section for guests to sit is adequately lit, while the corners may be lightly lit During the use of my SGS4 in this situation, what I conclude is that it took Ok shots, not good and not worse with digital noice and shakiness noticable!
With the G2 in hand with its OIS, the aforementioned scenes will be greatly captured! So camera junkis like me ( who also don't carry Pro Cameras or DLSRs all the time or juat dont want to), the LG G2 is a Must-To-Have Smart phone.

Does any one know where I can see a comparison of actual angular field of view of each phone camera?
Knowing the actual focal length isn't usually enough.
Actual verified angular field of view would be a great addition to any smartphone website's list of specs.

Is the author reviewing phones or cameras??? I could give a rats butt about taking high quality pictures with a phone. It's a tool - mostly a communications tool. How about focusing on something relevant to the fact that it's a PHONE - reception, voice quality, battery life, user interface, etc. I have a Razr Maxx HD for a personal phone and a S4 as a work phone. When it comes to communications, the Maxx HD kicks the S4's butt. When I want to take good quality pictures or video, I use something called a CAMERA.
54. djvtech (Posts: 5; Member since: 26 Dec 2013)
They're smart phones. "multi tools". Ones that cost several hundred dollars. A normal home 'phone' only costs like 30$, so these 'phones' have no excuse to not have a decent camera.
55. djvtech (Posts: 5; Member since: 26 Dec 2013)
I got an s4 and the focusing distance is 7cm. Pretty lame compared to my 3 year old HTC raider that focused as close as 3cm and takes nicer photos (color, contrast, white balance, sharpness) than the s4! The lens i wide also. What a disspointment s4.

People with diabetes have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes. High blood pressure and high cholesterol increase these risks even more. Controlling blood pressure and cholesterol are very important for preventing heart attacks and strokes.
See your doctor who treats your diabetes often. During these visits, health care providers will check your cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure. You may also be instructed to take medicines.
You can lower your risks of heart attack and stroke by exercising every day. For instance, a daily 30-minute walk each day can lower your risk.
Other things you can do to lower your risk are:
When you have extra cholesterol in your blood, it builds up inside the walls of your heart's arteries (blood vessels). This buildup is called plaque. It narrows your arteries and reduces or stops blood flow. This can lead to heart attack, stroke, or other serious heart disease.
Most people with diabetes are prescribed a medicine to reduce their LDL cholesterol levels. A group of medicines called statins are almost always used. You should learn how to take your statin medicine and how to watch for side effects.
Doctors used to set a target LDL cholesterol level of between 70 and 100 mg/dL for people with diabetes. Now, there is no specific target number.
If you have other risk factors for heart disease or stroke, your provider may prescribe higher doses of a statin drug.
Your doctor should check your cholesterol levels at least once a year.
Eat foods that are low in fat and learn how to shop for and cook foods that are healthy for your heart.
Get plenty of exercise, as well. Talk with your doctor about what kinds of exercises are right for you.
Have your blood pressure checked often. You can have it checked at a fire station or a drugstore. Your doctor or nurse should check your blood pressure at every visit. For most people with diabetes, a good blood pressure goal is less than 130 to 140 over 80 mm Hg. Ask your doctor what is best for you.
Exercising, eating low-salt foods, and losing weight (if you are overweight) can lower your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is too high, your doctor will prescribe drugs to lower it.
Getting exercise will help you control your diabetes and make your heart stronger. Always talk with your doctor before you start an exercise program or before you increase the amount of exercise you are doing. Some people with diabetes may have heart problems and not know it because they do not have symptoms.
Taking aspirin every day lowers your risk for heart attacks. The recommended dose is 81 mg a day. Do not take aspirin without talking to your doctor first. Ask your doctor about taking an aspirin every day if:

Much of the most significant research can begin with a deceptively simple question: Why, for example, do we tend to pick up a coffee cup from the side as opposed to the front? For most of us, human motion is far removed from conscious thought, but such seemingly basic questions can turn out to have exceedingly complex answers — and important real-world implications.
That was the starting point this summer for Emma Geduldig '13, Sarah Andrews '14 and John Wildman '15 as they explored movement and motor control with James L. Ferguson Professor of Psychology Jonathan Vaughan, who has devoted previous research to the topic. Their study of kinematics, or mechanical motion, may eventually lead to a better understanding of how paralysis and motor movement-related diseases such as Parkinson's affect the human body.
The Hill in midsummer may lack the electricity of a crisp fall afternoon or the intensity of finals week, but make no mistake — the learning continues. This year, more than 120 students ignored the call of beaches and boardwalks to remain on campus and take the opportunity to work closely with faculty members in doing advanced research across dozens of disciplines.
In the sciences, Geduldig, Andrews and Wildman were among more than 80 students pursuing projects in archaeology, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, geoarchaeology, geosciences, mathematics, neuroscience, physics and psychology. Many of these projects will lead to student presentations at professional meetings and papers co-authored by students.
In the social sciences and related fields, 21 students conducted research with 13 faculty members as part of the Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center's Research Fellowship Grants and Group Grants. Topics ranged from environmental justice in Brooklyn to agrarian land reform in Honduras, from domestic violence in Turkey to emergency-room profiling in low-income neighborhoods, and from the teaching of literacy to the analysis of voter behavior.
Funded by the Levitt Research Fellows Program, summer research is open to rising juniors and seniors who wish to spend the summer working in collaboration with a faculty member on an issue related to public affairs. Students receive a summer stipend and spend 10 weeks working intensively with a faculty mentor. Those selected for the program are required to provide a written assessment of their work at the completion of the summer and to participate in a poster session in the fall. Levitt Fellows are automatically eligible to participate in the Levitt Scholars Program, in which they discuss their research in local high schools.
Twenty students, meanwhile, earned Emerson Summer Grants, allowing them to receive a stipend and work collaboratively with a faculty member on areas of interest. Projects ranged from a study of South Korean foreign policy to a reinterpretation of the pastoral tradition in poetry and from excavation research in Crete to creative writing as therapy for the developmentally disabled.
Eli Bunzel '13, whose summer research with Dominic Veconi '15, Assistant Professor of Biology Wei-Jen Chang and May graduate Leonard Teng '12 involved examining single nucleotide polymorphisms, found that one of the most rewarding aspects of summer research was being able to "immerse [himself] in the lab mentality by gaining confidence, thinking analytically, and making sure that all of the minute details are correct."
For Levitt Summer Research Fellow Julian Aronowitz '14, flexibility and the capacity to think across disciplines were crucial. Working with Elizabeth Jensen, the Christian A. Johnson Excellence in Teaching Professor of Economics, the math major crossed into economics and computer modeling to pose a question that subjects a media catch-phrase to analytical scrutiny: Exactly when does a financial institution become "too big to fail"?
His initial goal was to create a formula that would define that category; but as the project continued, he found that the sheer number of variables shaping the interconnections among financial firms was too great. He modified his research goals to learn about the 2008 financial crisis "while using and improving [his] math and computer science skills." Aronowitz came away from his project with an appreciation for the opportunity to explore economics without the constraints of a formal classroom and to "contribute mathematical perspective to economic policy decisions."

Well, the first boxes have been packed. I started with the books that aren't going to be read in the next couple months and now the shelf is almost empty. It will be a good reminder while we wait, for we don't know how long, but I will look and think of Oregon and it will feel closer.
Again I find myself in the same chair searching the web for our next house two thousand six hundred and thirty five miles away, hoping a new one is added each hour I refresh my search, again. I remember doing this just a few months ago not knowing, but things found their place and in a way I hadn't thought or controlled, so I think about that a lot.
Every day I'll do a little filling and removing, sorting and preparing, so that when the time comes we are ready to go.

UN report questions human rights in ColombiaViernes, febrero 22nd, 2013
In Colombia human rights are still violated by members of the Military but this doesn't necessarily translate into extrajudicial executions. According to Todd Howland, the representative of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Colombia, 'a technical definition of false positives doesn't exist. However, these could be defined as a strategy of the military forces to increase their war stats, using the civilian population."
The UN also criticized Colombia's Military Justice Reform, to which the Government responded defensively, insisting that there needs to be judicial security for the members of the Public Forces.
In the report, the UN claims the reform "infringes upon the basic separation of powers necessary for the judiciary's independence." It also says the reform "reflects a lack of trust and respect between the State's institutions."

From the sounds of it, we can thank Stevie Wonder for the very existence of the new First Family.
"I think it's fair to say that had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me," President Barack Obama said at a White House concert before presenting the singer with the Gershwin Award for Lifetime Achievement. "We might not have married. The fact that we agreed on Stevie was part of the essence of our courtship."
The East Room of the White House was transformed into a concert hall, featuring a high-wattage lineup of Wonder, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Martina McBride, Paul Simon and will.i.am. The performances are scheduled to air Thursday night on PBS.
At the concert, the First Lady, who appears on the cover of the new issue of PEOPLE, also revealed that Wonder's Talking Book was the first album she ever bought, and that his song, "You and I," served as the couple's wedding song.
Wonder said he had reason to thank the President too: He praised Obama's efforts to unite the world "so that in my lifetime I can write some more songs about love, about unity, and real songs of passion." And, he added, "You know, maybe I'll be a part of creating some more of those babies."

The state wants to shift 875,000 children in the Healthy Families program into Medi-Cal over a nine-month period, beginning in October. The state estimates the move will save $156 million over the next two fiscal years.
But according to a soon-to-be-released study, that plan could limit access to care for California's children, and the state might be better served to move more slowly.
A report commissioned by the Urban Institute looked at four possible directions for the Healthy Families program. Report author Stan Dorn said the move to Medi-Cal has some definite advantages for California children -- particularly for those at or below 133% of the federal poverty level. Those children will make that transition in 2014 anyway, as required by the Affordable Care Act.
"In our opinion, children's interests would be best served by moving those lowest-income children into Medi-Cal first," Dorn said, "and then seeing how that works before moving ahead with the other Healthy Families children. And that's a very different approach to doing it in this tiered way [over a nine-month timeframe]."
According to the California Medical Association, those lower-income children make up only about one-quarter of Healthy Families children, but the state hopes to transition the whole population to Medi-Cal by July of 2013. That's a concern for Dorn, who said that fewer physicians are available for Medi-Cal patients compared to Healthy Families, and that adding nearly a million children onto the Medi-Cal rolls could mean limited access.
The Department of Health Care Services issued a written statement about the state's plans for Healthy Families -- California's version of the federally subsidized State Children's Health Insurance Program:
"Per the proposed 2012-13 budget, Healthy Families Program (HFP) children will transition to DHCS as part of the broader Medi-Cal program over a nine-month period beginning in October 2012. DHCS has developed a thoughtful approach to transition all 875,000 HFP children to Medi-Cal, while minimizing any disruption in coverage. This transition will create benefits for children, families, health plans, and providers by simplifying eligibility and coverage for children and families; improve coverage through retroactive benefits, increased access to vaccines, and expanded mental health coverage; and eliminate premiums for low-income beneficiaries."
According to Dorn, the four long-range choices in the Urban Institute report are:
Moving Healthy Families into the exchange doesn't thrill Dorn. "On balance, that might be harmful to children," he said, "because the exchange will have lots on its plate, so children's issues could get short shrift."
But the idea of the exchange negotiating rates and benefits comparable to the current Healthy Families program has some real possibilities, Dorn said. "There could be significant gains from that approach, like broader access to providers," he said. "It's not clear, though, whether that approach is feasible."
The uncertainty over access is the main reason to move more slowly, Dorn said.
Money matters to the state, though, and that was not a factor in the Urban Institute study. "Our focus is on what policy choices are the best for low-income children," Dorn said.
"Our recommendation is, in view of the many open questions, to take the conservative approach."
Dorn expects the report will be released in two weeks. He will present the report's findings at next week's MRMIB meeting.

Feed the Future: USAID is helping agricultural entrepreneurs like Marion Moon develop innovations that improve farming practices.
Malaria: In Kenya, fifty-four percent of children under the age of 5 sleep under an insecticide-treated net
Power Africa: USAID is helping Kenyans implement clean energy solutions like solar lanterns.
Democracy: "Nations cannot realize the full promise of independence until they fully protect the rights of their people." – President Obama, 2015.

Ivory Burning: USAID is working with the Kenya Wildlife Service to scale up efforts to combat wildlife trafficking.
About Kenya
July 2015, the rest of the world realized what Kenyans already knew—Kenya is on the move. U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Kenya shone the spotlight on his signature initiatives, including Power and Trade Africa and the Young African Leaders Initiative, as well as presidential priorities, such as wildlife conservation, gender equality and civil society.
For the U.S. Government agency at the vanguard of this work, this historical visit was particularly significant. First, the world got a glimpse into what USAID sees everyday—major achievements in development led by local people and organizations. Secondly, the citizens, civil society and faith leaders we work with to accelerate this progress earned the opportunity to engage with President Obama face-to-face on the issues important to them.
President Obama praised entrepreneurs, leaders and innovators we work with who are pioneering sustainable solutions and creative strategies for development. These included Jamila Abass, the innovator behind M-Farm, a mobile platform that connects farmers to markets; and Richard Todosia, president of the one-million strong National Youth Bunge Association supported by USAID.
The friendship between the Republic of Kenya and the United States dates to the dawn of Kenyan independence. As an important developing-country partner in East Africa, Kenya is a significant recipient of U.S. foreign assistance. Over the past 50 years, USAID has worked closely with the Kenyan government, the private sector, and civil society to:
- Advance access to education;
- Improve quality healthcare through nutrition, family planning, and maternal and child health, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and strengthening health programs;
- Lay a foundation for long-term economic growth through trade, agriculture, and infrastructure programs; and
- Make devolution work for the benefit of all Kenyans through democracy, governance and conflict programs.
"I am here to tell you that the United States of America will be a partner for you every step of the way," President Obama said in his closing remarks at the Safaricom arena. This historic visit is another inflection point in the United States relationship with Kenya and the East African region.

Start your calves out right
Start your calves out right
Each stage of a calf's nutritional program is important to ensuring a healthy and profitable calf crop. A sound and well-managed feeding program is critical after birth to allow a good foundation for calves. In addition to water, colostrum and milk replacer, a calf starter should be fed after birth.
"Because calves are born without a functioning rumen, it is critical that a calf starter is offered one to three days after birth," says Katie Mason, calf and heifer specialist with Purina Animal Nutrition LLC.
The fermentation from water and feed are needed to properly develop a calf's rumen. Delaying calf starter intake can delay rumen growth, ultimately delaying the age at which calves can be weaned.
Mason recommends starting calves on feed with a handful of calf starter. As they eat the feed, offer them more starter until they are eating as much as they want. But be careful not to overfill the feed bucket because calves like to lick the bottom of the feed bucket while they are eating. This will also prevent the feed from becoming stale and spoiling.
Calf starter should be checked daily to make sure the feed is clean and fresh. Spoiled grain should be removed every day. A divider between the feed bucket and water or milk bucket can prevent having to discard wet feed.
In addition to feeding a good quality calf starter (at least 20 percent protein), make sure calves have access to clean, fresh water.
"A good rule of thumb for water consumption that I follow is 4 pounds of water for every pound of starter calves eat," notes Mason. Free choice water should be offered to calves 1 to 2 days after birth. Water consumption will encourage feed intake, leading to faster growth and an earlier weaning age.
Calf starter intake is a primary factor for weaning calves. Instead of making weaning decisions by age alone, evaluate the amount of starter eaten by calves.
"Calves can be weaned once they are consuming 1.5 to 2 pounds of starter for three consecutive days," says Mason. "I always measure out 1.5 to 2 pounds of starter so I know what that amount looks like."
It is recommended that calf starter be fed to at least 12 weeks of age for strong feed consumption through the stress of weaning, grouping, moving, vaccinating and dehorning. From there, the calf can be transitioned to a grower feed.
Following these calf starter tips will help fuel your calves' growth and their performance, allowing them to achieve maximum growth at an earlier age which will strengthen your farm's bottom-line.

By the Rev. Alicia
Randolph Rapking
Parish House Director
When I last wrote, I began a series of reflections on the three rules for living which John Wesley, founding ancestor of the Methodist movement, encouraged. The three rules include: 1. Do no harm; 2. Do Good; and 3. Attend to the ordinances of the God or, as it has been updated, stay in love with God. So for this article, I should be reflecting on the first rule - do no harm. But I am not. Something else is a little more important.
We have all been through an experience and I would like to take this opportunity to offer thanks to God for bringing us through the power outage ordeal, for helping us to be resourceful, for offering guidance and wisdom to staff of Office of Emergency Management to work so tirelessly to bring us back to normalcy, to the many workers from numerous power companies who worked in sweltering heat in order to restore power. During this time so many people went above and beyond the call of duty - from those who opened fire stations, churches and space at West Virginia Wesleyan College, to those who came to my rescue to help plan and cook meals to serve to people who had no way of preparing a nutritious meal for families, to the many, many people who donated food to help replenish the shelves at Crosslines/Parish House.
This disaster experience was hard on the nerves and our tempers grew short, but the stories of neighbor helping neighbor will help us soon forget the negative feelings that we had and help us remember the positive that came from this trying time. There are so many, many people to thank that I cannot begin to name everyone, so I won't; but I am thankful to God for all the people who helped out our neighbors and helped to make a difficult situation bearable.
As I write this article I am reminded of a hymn that we sing often around Thanksgiving - "Now Thank We All Our God." A German pastor, Martin Rinkart, who lived during the horrible Thirty Years War, wrote the hymn. During this war there were also famine and the plague. Rinkart conducted thousands of funerals during this time because so many people died from illness and starvation. At one point he was conducting 50 funerals a day. One of those funerals was that of his wife. Imagine the despair of his life during this time. Imagine the doubt and questioning that must have been a part of his daily thoughts. Imagine the fatigue and weariness that he must have experienced. Those were dark times.
Yet, it was from this horrible time that Rinkart wrote the words that encouraged the singer to thank God with heart and hands and voice because God has given a "wondrous gift of love" and the whole world rejoices. How could someone experiencing such difficult times write such beautiful and positive words? He wrote the words to remind himself and others that putting our faith in the things of earth fails, but faith in our God will not fail.
On the Friday evening that the storm hit, almost without warning, we discovered again that we cannot always count on what we expect to be normal from day to day. We did discover that we could count on the faithfulness of those who sacrifice comfort, who offer a helping hand, who offer water and food and shelter, who offer a listening ear and all of these actions are gifts from God - wondrous gifts of love.
May we all strive to be the wondrous gift of love that God is offering to someone in need as we try to lend a helping hand or a listening ear wherever we can.
Next week we pick up our reflections of the three rules.
To God be the Glory.

I am almost legally blind without my glasses, and this morning I was getting out of the shower- and the way the sunlight shined on Ivy's eyes, they glowed this bright blue, almost purple. Even to the almost blind.
She has pockets in her pants for candy! and stickers!
And a sneak peek to a possible someday-post about having a girl after all boys:
Yes, I had convinced my soul that having a little girl was scary, that it would mean having a "little me" and truth be told, I am not always a fan of myself. I do see so much of myself in Ivy but ...it is all the good parts. It's like God created her to show me the reflection I have never been able to clearly see. I have new eyes.
Ivy's hat is from the San Diego Hat Co, ruffle socks by Matilda Jane, & painter overalls from Tea Collection. (I buy all her Tea Collection clothes thru my affiliate link.)

INWOOD - Following the U.S. Postal Service's announcement that Saturday mail delivery will cease starting in August, Eastern Panhandle residents reacted to the loss of a time-honored practice.
While postal workers at Hedgesville and Inwood post offices were unable to comment on the impending shift, several area residents sending mail Wednesday were unfazed by the nails hammered into the coffin of the 150-year tradition.
"It doesn't matter to me. I don't get any packages or anything," said Bernard Terrebonne, of Winchester. "Most of the stuff I get is just bills - no checks."

'It doesn't matter to me. I don't get any packages or anything. Most of the stuff I get is just bills, no checks.'
Bernard Terrebonne, Winchester
'I guess my thing is I really want my mail. I guess if we still get it during the week, I'm fine with it.'
Thomas Comfort, Inwood
'My mail is secure here in the post office, so it doesn't bother me. ... It's safe until I can get to it.'
Brenda Mellon, Inwood
'Well, I only come down about twice a week, so it doesn't make any difference.'
Janette Wedekind, Inwood
"Personally, I see no reason not to avoid Saturday," Garland Martin, of Inwood, said. "These people (already) work five days a week. They'll just have to be loaded up on Monday."
Other residents agreed a traditional work week would benefit mail carriers.
"Well, I only come down about twice a week, so it doesn't make any difference," Janette Wedekind, of Inwood, said.
"I'm fine with it because if it was me, I wouldn't want to have to work on Saturday," Sharon Harris, of Martinsburg, said.
According to the agency's press release, only mail delivery to street addresses will be affected by the transition - P.O. box deliveries will continue and post offices currently operating on Saturdays will still do so. The delivery of packages on Saturdays will additionally carry on.
"My mail is secure here in the post office, so it doesn't bother me," Brenda Mellon, of Inwood, said. "I like having my mail here. It's safe until I can get to it."
The financially struggling Postal Service, which has been advocating for a five-day mail delivery schedule for several years, expects to save $2 billion annually, according to the release.
"Fine. Great. I think it ought to be Monday, Wednesday, Friday - save me from walking down the driveway every day," Peter Rouillard, of Bunker Hill, said of the change scheduled for the week off Aug. 5.
Rouillard said a three-day system would be more efficient for mail carriers, lending to larger less frequent deliveries as opposed to smaller daily ones.
Some voices however, such as Sen. Joe Manchin's, carried a more critical tone.
"I am disappointed in the Postal Service's decision to end Saturday deliveries," Manchin said in a press release. "In our rural areas, these postal facilities are more than just places to send and receive mail - they are truly the lifelines of their communities and can be the only way a town is able to stay connected. Although the Postal Service must cut back on spending and get its fiscal house in order, cutting the muscle instead of the fat from its budget will not benefit the agency and will harm our communities in West Virginia and across our country."
Wayne Bagent Sr., of Inwood, agreed.
"I don't like it too well. I'd rather have it on Saturday," he said. "I'm just used to it - I'm just used to six days a week."
Bagent noted concerns regarding sending bills and receiving checks.
"This didn't happen until the economy started getting bad," he said.
Last year, according to the Associated Press, the Postal Service faced a net loss of $15.9 billion.
Since 2006, the Postal Service has reduced its annual cost base by approximately $15 billion, the release said, additionally cutting its workforce by 193,000 and consolidating more than 200 mail processing locations.
Proof of steady growth in package delivery, evidenced by a 14 percent volume increase since 2010 with projections of a continued surge throughout the coming decade, lent itself to the Postal Service's decision to continue six-day package delivery, the release said.
"I guess my thing is I really want my mail," Thomas Comfort, of Inwood, said. "I guess if we still get it during the week, I'm fine with it."
According to Postal Facts 2012, the agency was comprised of 574,000 employees delivering more than 171 billion pieces of mail and generating $67 billion in revenue, paying 1.9 billion in salaries and benefits in 2011.
The shift, however, gives a new meaning to the online service launched in 1994, USPS.com, which boasts the slogan "This Post Office is Always Open."

about the dotfuscator thing, you can actually monitor "feature duration", so you can do som perf monitoring too however, the free version only monitors 10 features
Good catch, thanks, fixed!
Good point, I also didn't know that monitoring was restricted to 10 features, still a cool feature though.
yeah, i was kinda bummed :/ but hey, the dotfuscator folks gotta eat too

Essential Fatty Acids
Showing Nutiva items. Remove Filter
Essential fatty acids are the polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, which are the parent compounds of the omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acid series, respectively. They are essential in the human diet since they cannot be synthesized by the body. Humans can easily make saturated fatty acids or monounsaturated fatty acids with a double bond at the omega-9 position, but do not have the enzymes necessary to introduce a double bond at the omega-3 or omega-6 position.

MARTINSBURG - It was with food, fellowship and words of praise that Richard Carrico, JROTC program coordinator for Berkeley County Schools, was welcomed into retirement after more than a decade of dedication to students.
Friends and colleagues gathered at the South Berkeley Baptist Church and surprised Carrico with a retirement celebration, highlighting the impact he has made to students in the Air Force Junior ROTC program.
"He will always be known for loving the kids. Teaching high school is a challenge, but if he gave anything to the kids, he gave them values," said Senior Master Sergeant Leo Parlett, a JROTC instructor.

Richard Carrico cuts into his retirement-themed cake at a surprise party held for him at South Berkeley Baptist Church. Carrico was the Air Force JROTC program coordinator for 15 years for Berkeley County Schools.
Since 1997, Carrico has dedicated his time to teaching Berkeley County youth the same values he learned in the military as the Air Force JROTC program coordinator for Berkeley County Schools' high schools.
Carrico served in the U.S. Air Force for 27 years before moving to Berkeley County to become the ROTC program coordinator.
The Berkeley County ROTC program operates in each of the three high schools, with instructors dividing their time amongst the schools. The program is kept at around 150 students each year.
"I had some reservations (at first), but I found that I just really enjoyed it. I love the kids. I felt like I was doing something important and giving back to the community," Carrico said.
Having taught approximately 2,250 in his 15 years, Carrico, affectionately called "Chief" by his students, strove to impart values beyond the classroom to each student in the program.
"I wanted to teach them to have integrity, to do what's right even when no one is looking - that's probably the most important thing. To give back to the community because service is important, and to be a good citizen," Carrico said.
While Carrico was passionate about working with the students, he chose to retire due to health concerns. Carrico has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, a lung disease that progressively makes it harder to breathe.
"Health is driving me this way. I probably would have stayed a couple more years if I didn't have that," he said.

Rugrats is a children's show that started off in 1991. At first it had very good humor, but now its just a bunch of toddlers on crack, so obnoxious they think that the world is theirs.
Tommy: Alright. Lets go suck my dads balls.

One of the earliest Nickelodeon cartoons. The show mainly focuses on 4 babies (Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil) and 2 three year olds (Angelica and Susie). In the later episodes, two more babies were added to the show (Dil and Kimi).
Despite popular opinion, I don't think the newer episodes with Dil and Kimi are that bad. This show has it's good episodes, new or old.

a good show akin to rocko's modern life. it ran from 1991-1994. some assholes at night canceled rocko's modern life and revived rugrats to fill it's timeslot. the new rugrats was horrible. it was now geared completely to little tweens and consisted entirely of potty jokes.

How well do you know your town? Whether native or newcomer or somewhere in between – like me – I'll bet there's a lot about Summerville that you don't know. For instance, are you aware that the settlers of this summer village can trace their history back 383 years, via Colonial Dorchester; or how and why we grew from campsite to year-round town? Do you know what "marooning" was – or where the original Arch was erected and where its descendants are now located?
How about the fact that in our Golden Age we were a much sought-after tourist destination and health site, not only nationally, but internationally? And that during this time two presidents and a myriad of celebrities came to stay in the once famous Pine Forest Inn? They could also visit the Pinehurst Tea Plantation, which from 1890's to the 1940's was the only U.S. enterprise cultivating tea. And have you heard that our third town hall – we've had five – was the home of local intrigue as well as romance? Curious?
Well you have twelve more days to get answers. On Friday, July 5th the Chamber of Commerce will present a trio of inaugural one-hour (or so) Sweet Tea Trolley Tours of historic Summerville in a program called "Locals First." Tickets will initially be offered – on a first-come-first-served basis - to residents for a chance to be tourists in your own town. As the tours will run during the Fourth of July Weekend, it's the perfect opportunity to climb aboard an old timey trolley with friends and/or visitors and spend some of your leisure getting better acquainted with the place you live – as well as gaining bragging rights. Tours will run at 10 a.m., 12 noon and 2 p.m. and will be $20 per person.
The Chamber has been working on this project for a long time, first branding Summerville as the Home of Sweet Tea, then mapping out a Sweet Tea Trail and currently tying it all together with Sweet Tea Trolley Tours in an encompassing tourism initiative. This effort has special meaning for me.
Jim and I first visited Summerville in the early 1960s –while he was stationed at Charleston Air Force Base. It was at the height of the azalea season and like many folks before – and after –we fell in love at first sight. We kept our eye on this Flower Town for about two decades and when Jim retired came back here to settle.
Since 1980 I've been blessed to ply a creative cycle of working full time for this newspaper, learning about my then new hometown, then writing her official history for the Town of Summerville and returning to these pages as a columnist, still writing about my now longtime hometown. Happily for me, on July 5th I'll have the chance to share this special place and its history with you on a more personal basis, by acting as a tour guide. I'm still learning and I promise the more you learn about Summerville the more you'll love her.
Why not come out in a dozen days and be one of the "First Locals?"

|Pre-race stretching - Taken by the best boyfriend in the world, M
I plan on doing a full race recap later this week, but right now, I'm focusing on hydrating and recovering. You see, I got pretty violently ill after the race. I'll spare you the details, but let's say I showered and lay in bed the rest of the day before a dinner and movie date night with M.
Why am I so focused on the recovery? Because in ELEVEN DAYS I'm heading to Nashville to meet with my blog crush and one of my blogging besties, Christin. Way back when I started reading her blog, I never dreamed that she and I would become good friends.
You see, I also had a blog crush on her. I started reading her blog when she was in the planning stages of her beautiful and classic wedding. So when we decided to sign up for this race together, who would have thought that I'd be flying to a new city to run a half marathon with one of my blogging, soon-to-be real life, friends!
So when I didn't end up going sub-2 yesterday (missed that mark by almost 8 minutes), I wasn't as discouraged because Christin and I are going for the gold a.k.a. sub-2. I lacked encouragement yesterday. There were points in the race when I really needed someone, besides myself, saying "you can do this! Just keeping moving!"
But I got too inside my head...and walked more than I planned for.
Now it's time to prep, do lots of stretching, lots of yoga, and maybe some boot camp, to prepare my body for another 13.1 miles. But this time, I'll be running with a good friend, an encourager, and fellow runner! I can't wait, Christin!

CRESSON - It's been an unusual football season for the Penn Cambria High School Panthers.
It began with four straight victories. Then came four straight losses and the resignation of head football coach Ernie Fetzer.
Suddenly, the Panthers needed two wins to finish the regular season and qualify for the District 6 Class AA playoffs.
Despite all the adversity, the Panthers achieved their playoff goal by holding off Somerset, 16-14, Saturday night in a game filled with flags and turnovers, and some entertaining football, too.
"It's great. I'm really happy for the kids," interim head coach Tony Tomaselli said following the victory.
"We try to tell them that adversity is part of life, and you have to deal with it," he said. "We had our share this year. We lost four straight, then we had the situation [Fetzer's resignation] a couple weeks ago.
Fact Box
Playoff picture
takes full shape
Penn Cambria and Glendale filled out the District 6 high school playoff field by virtue of their wins Saturday night.
In addition, Glendale's victory against Ferndale gave Juniata Valley the third seed in 6-A via a tiebreaker.
By edging Somerset, Penn Cambria jumped over Juniata in the Class AA standings for the eighth and final spot in the field. The Panthers will play top-seeded Richland in the quarterfinals on Friday. The rest of the field, in order, is comprised of Ligonier Valley, Central, Tyrone, Cambria Heights, Forest Hills and Bald Eagle Area.
Glendale, as the eighth seed, travels to Bellwood-Antis in the 6-A quarterfinals on Friday.
Juniata Valley, meanwhile, is third and hosts Bishop McCort, while fifth-ranked Bishop Guilfoyle will travel to defending champion Penns Manor. Glendale's win gave Valley 10 extra points because the Hornets beat the Vikings earlier this season. That created a tie for third between the Hornets and Penns Manor at 1,260 power points. Juniata Valley, though, gets the higher seed because its opponents had a better winning percentage.
Portage clinched the second seed on Friday night and was set to host No. 7 Northern Cambria.
There will be a meeting at Altoona Area High School this morning to officially announce the pairings.
- Philip Cmor
"But, they adapted, and played their hearts out."
Following a Somerset fumble, Penn Cambria marched 47 yards behind the power running of Mack Behe and Devin Lawhead for its first score. Behe got the TD on a 1-yard plunge on the first play of the second quarter and Lawhead ran for the 2-point conversion and an 8-0 lead.
Behe suffered an injury early in the third quarter and did not return to the game.
A short punt put Somerset in business at the PC 48 midway through the second and quarterback Tanner Stull hit Jordan Wolkow with a 29-yard strike for the Eagles' first score. Stull's 2-point conversion tied it at 8-8.
Penn Cambria turned another Somerset fumble into a third-quarter touchdown. Brendan Eckenrode hit Jake Hurley, who split two defenders, for a 30-yard scoring pass down the middle. Justin Fuller ran for the two extra points and a 16-8 lead.
It was the first of three big plays by Hurley, a 5-foot-7 sophomore. After Stull hit Bryce Mostoller with a 15-yard TD, with 8:13 left in the game, Hurley knocked down a 2-point conversion pass at the goal line which would have tied the game.
Actually, Stull had run for a 2-point PAT, but it was nullified by a holding call.
"The holding penalty on the 2-point play. That was the ballgame," Somerset coach Bob Landis said. "If it's 16-16 and overtime, who knows.
"But, we'll be back. We're a young team."
Stull, who passed for over 200 yards and kept the Panthers on their toes with his ability to scramble, had one last fling in the closing seconds, but Hurley intercepted the pass at midfield, and the Panthers ran out the clock.
Hurley downplayed his role in the win.
"Just a little," Hurley said, smiling.
On the conversion, he said, "we were in zone coverage and I just floated and blocked the ball down."
On the pick at midfield, he noted, "we were in a deep coverage to prevent the big play and came up big."
"Jake's a player," Tomaselli of Hurley. "He's a competitor and a worker, and he knows how to win.
By gaining the eighth and final seed, Penn Cambria will visit top seed Richland in the first round of the 6-AA playoffs next Friday night. The unbeaten Rams defeated the Panthers in Week 8.
"It's been us against the world the last two weeks [wins over Westmont Hilltop and Somerset]," Tomaselli said. "We needed those two to get in the tournament, and we'll go down there [Richland] and give it our best shot."
Somerset finished 5-5, but qualified for the Class AAA playoffs.
"We're two points short of a home playoff game," Landis said. "If we had won tonight, we would have punched our ticket for a home playoff game. That hasn't happened to Somerset for I can't tell you when."
Somerset's first playoff test will be a visit to University Prep of District 8 in Pittsburgh next weekend.
"We're young, with only four seniors," Landis said. "We lost two close ones and could be 7-3, but we've learned some good lessons.
"Stull is a great player and I was pleased with our offensive line tonight," he said. "Just too many turnovers for us tonight," Landis added.
