LG Optimus G (AT&T & Sprint) Review
0. phoneArena 17 Oct 2012, 09:34 posted on
The LG Optimus G will soon grace the lineups of AT&T and Sprint respectively – albeit, there are some differences between the two models. Regardless of that, the core foundation is intact thanks to their combination of featuring a mighty 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset with 2GB of RAM, and of course, the always-lovable 4G LTE connectivity...

lg always comes out with the first of everything in mobile phone but always lose to samsung in the end. maybe they need to improve their marketing strategy instead of always trying to be the first in everything.

The reason is they just wait and see what other OEMs offer and then come up with a better specs with a tag "Being first"... They even conducted a survey here by comparing their new device with more than half year old S III and one X. They are always late in to the party... the problem is specs isn't everything. Its the whole user experience that we get with the phone... They should play their own game here after... Anyway great review as usual...

Let's review their accomplishments (at least for the U.S. market):
FIrst dual core phone.
First quad core phone.
First phone with a 720p display
First (to market) screen-dominated-design touchscreen phone(original Prada).
First with a 3D camera and display
What are they lagging in, exactly?
37. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
First does not mean good. The first dual-core G2x had a ton of hardware problems. The first 3D display was a gimmick that ahd no useful functions and the phone itself was big and heavy and mediocre. First 720p display was still running Gingerbread (or maybe even Froyo) and couldn't utilize it properly, and the other aspects of the phone were meh as well. These firsts are only ONE aspect of the phone, and if you fail at all the others, you might have an advantage in that one area, but the rest just drags you down to mediocrity.

first doesn't mean anything. look at iphone, the only first it had was the apple logo, but why is it selling well?
the real story is how LG executes it.
if LG messes up on marketting, or there are numerous bugs, glitches, crashes, none of the features would matter.

ummm which one of LG's phones was the first to have a quad core processor?
71. MANGUELPR (unregistered)
LG Optimus G, First Quad Core for all Carriers, not only that it was the first Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon thats why its rapped any phone in history till middle of 2013 and also won the CES 2013 Award the Most Advanced Phone ever made.
61. doejon (Posts: 398; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
yep and samsung will bring a tuned exynos 5250 and will f**k the s**t out of this phone with a flexible screen 1080p hd amoled plus ultra display with 4000 map new batterytechnolgy (removable) sd card up to 128 gb and of course samsungs own camerasensor with 13 mp and it kill this optimus g and lumia 920 4 sure :-) u will see and dont forget the
kevlar ceramic unibody xD
ok.. ok ok.. we will see but a dream would be come true :P
bring it on samsung!

LG is the actually first company in bring up the full OLED Ulta Flexible and it will be sold to other companies. keep waiting for Samsung, LG already had the product done not a concept jaja.
3. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
LG really, and finally, put everything they have into a product.
The result?
Best phone on Earth right now

this phone got a 9? hallelujah, i can only imagine how awesome the Nexus will be if it is based on this pone :D
8. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Hope they used a different camera module on the Nexus cause it doesn't perform very well on the Optimus G
12. proto (Posts: 59; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
I will be very happy, when they use same camara module on nexus 4 cause camera was always weakness on nexus devices and this one isnt best but decent and that's still 3 time better than on last SG nexus.
15. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
at least we got the better performer 8 mp camera. for what it seems, that's the only department where the Nexus 4 will not be on par with the competition. perfectly fine by me.
53. Jericho (unregistered)
The Nexus 4. 9.5/10
64. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Probably a 9.5 if it's the same reviewer. I would dock the Optimus G down a full point just for the custom UI, but that's gone with the Nexus.
7. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3791; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
I knew LG won't be doing good even if they were working on a new camera sensor. I commented and everyone didn't agree...and here it is.
Well, at least 9 was expected but i don't know why, going through the review wasn't exciting at all. Blame it on the pre-release hype??
9. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
I know what you mean I expected a better camera at the least, everything else is great but they should have made an equal or better camera than Samsung if they wanna edge em out, specs are great but I expect issues with this product
10. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
I'm not quite understanding why the benchmarks are so different, if it's the same phone.
38. bxbomber718 (Posts: 15; Member since: 13 Dec 2010)
I noticed that too but it seems the reviewer and everyone else overlooked this...
11. BadAssAbe (Posts: 456; Member since: 22 Apr 2011)
13MP or Expandable memory?
Kinda wish US got a working TV tuner.
14. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
or you can get the unlocked one! NO BLOATWARE TOO
16. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3791; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
I'm not saying it is a bad phone. Hell, who am i to say the phone is crap? The specs are a kill!
I wrote negatively on the camera because in the past, there was an article about LG working on a new camera sensor for the G here in PA. If they were working on it, the result here is not worth what i read then.
19. bhagi108 (Posts: 21; Member since: 09 May 2012)
why is it so hard to get a good QUAD core phone on t-mobile?
well I am going to give the Huawei Ascend D1 XL U9510E a try.
lets see how that works out!

21. scsa852k (Posts: 329; Member since: 16 Oct 2012)
$199.99 for a phone with spec like this sounds almost like a steal.
But sad reality is that LG products will never outsell Apple or Samsung.

The best way to make an Android phone:-
1. Make all the hardware in the best way you can.
2. Get all the drivers for all the hardware components.
3. Call up Cyanogenmod and hire them to port the latest Android to the device.
4. Tell CM team that their phone should be the first phone to get the stable release of the latest CM. No other phone should worked upon during this period.
5. Release the phone and get 10/10 from PA.
23. roldefol (Posts: 4258; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
And then make few sales because it's not labelled iPhone, Galaxy or DROID. Sad but true.
24. yasir-921 (Posts: 81; Member since: 02 Oct 2012)
This review seems biased. Why Q-Slide feature is distracting? Its a new feature and after spending some time using this feature, it will definitely be a fantastic experience.
We should wait for the International model. Carriers' phones are not the phones which exactly the Universal models are.
Lets see what the International version does.
25. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
The score is right, the review is wrong.
1) The camera is very good on both deviecs. It may not be the BEST on the market but it stacks up among the better ones.
2) The nighttime video they show is stacked against this, when they did the nighttime video for the iphone 5, it was CLEARLY a better lit area. Of COURSE the video is going to look better in that case.
3) Saying the Q slide is distracting but the pop up play is not does not compute, when its essentially the same thing, except it seems the Q Slide feature has more options from what I've seen of it, such as setting transparency, which is nice.
4) Overall the choice is apples and oranges I guess. Its nice that the ATT version has the Microsd slot, and the Sprint version seems to fair slightly better in the camera department. Any other differences they cited, like the call quality being iffy on the sprint version, seems to be bogus. They mentioned themselves in the review that the signal in their area wasnt as good with Sprint, so Id wager something like that is attributed to the signal in their area rather than an actual difference in the earpiece of the phones or how the phones handle the calls. Also the quadrant they rant on the sprint vs AT&T version is questionable, given that the other benchmarks were pretty much identical, sounds like a background app may have interfered with the benchmark on the sprint version.

This phone was given a 9. The HTC One X only got an 8.5 and it's an incredible phone. I'm not sure how seriously this rating system can be taken. That said, the LG Optimus G will most likely be my next device come November 2.
31. osanilevich (Posts: 285; Member since: 29 Sep 2009)
kind of annoying how ATT ditched the reflective crystal thing and put a glass slab on the back instead
33. dicemoney (Posts: 58; Member since: 28 Mar 2011)
By may next year this phone will be forgotten just as always LG is always first but always end up being last
35. Mke5Mke (Posts: 18; Member since: 10 Oct 2012)
By May next year, the iPhone 5s will be all anyone is talking about. The iPhone 5 will be forgotten. The iPad Mini will be forgotten.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. boring! this thing will be one penny by Christmas on amazon. trust me, lg phones have piss poor resale value. they are like that cheap kia car that tries to compete with a honda, same specs and all but when you drive, it, it is missing the refinement and fluidity of the big boys. maybe one day they will get it right. they could start by stop putting that ugly gold looking att globe logo thing on their phones. make them look soooo cheap!
44. droiddomination (Posts: 203; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
i mean that lg logo, they need to totally redign their logo. might work for their refrigerators but not for a phone.

"...In this day and age, we're bombarded by many smartphones packing extraordinarily large displays, which seems to be the trend with today's premier smartphones." - PA, WTF?! The best selling smarphone on the market for years has a 3,5" display, what trend are you talking about? If it is the trend in Android or WP phones, than it is corect. About this LG - all I can say is: The same ol' yellow brick, only a little worse than Samsung. Nothing impressive, really nothing.
55. dok2005 (Posts: 55; Member since: 18 Apr 2012)
lol nothing impressive so the specs not impressive at all really i suppose to believe that those bench marks is not running circles around the competition. lol so what you call impressive. second iphone as a brand been selling like hotcakes, but even they change there screen size correct me if im wrong. to top it off further than that as far as phones sales last time i check samsung in number one mobile operator in the world. also there plenty of phones that i can name on top of head and so can you that screen sizes just been getting bigger and bigger. so they have a valid point duh.

How can LG launch this amazing spec'ed phone with ICS in october 2012? That tells you a lot about LG. With that being said, this phone is the most powerful phone on the market, even more powerful than my beloved note 2. But more powerful doesnt mean better!

at&t version looks rubbish compared to sprints,,,sprints looks much more slick..the phones looks nice spec wise but i still cant accept high end phones being released 5 months after the release of jb coming out with ics
63. dok2005 (Posts: 55; Member since: 18 Apr 2012)
true coming out with ics seems like bad move but think about when the phone was made and went into production and you know how carriers are constantly testing out firmware t make sure it work so thats the reason why it coming out with ics with reports of jb update soon to follow. yet again im one of those people whose not waiting on carriers i will wait on developers in xda/ other communities to make this bad boy deliver us to the promise land.
65. ChiX017 (Posts: 308; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
I finally figured out why LG never succeeds in smartphones (apart from their lack of support), they never innovate but always jump ahead, while others (Samsung, Nokia) create new paths(competition) like Pureview, S Beam e.t.c doing the best of what currently is, doesn't necessarily put you on top but as first especially when there is no proper support.

Rumors that Penn State's Bill O'Brien will be the target of NFL teams with head coaching openings won't go away, and, according to ESPN reports on Sunday, the Nittany Lions' first-year coach might be inclined to listen.
"Sources say that teams that have gauged his interest have been informed that when O'Brien accepted the task of being the late Joe Paterno's successor, he was told by school officials that the Jerry Sandusky scandal was a criminal matter, not an NCAA concern," Chris Mortensen said Sunday morning.
A request by the Mirror to Penn State for a response to the ESPN report on Sunday afternoon went unanswered.
Mortensen went on to say that his unnamed sources reported that O'Brien "would consider a very short list of NFL opportunities."
The network reported that the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles would be two teams that would pursue O'Brien if they made coaching changes, as expected, in the offseason.
"He may be on more short lists than Oregon's Chip Kelly, according to league sources," Mortensen said.
The former offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, O'Brien was voted the Big Ten coach of the year by both the conference coaches and media after leading the Nittany Lions to an 8-4 record despite a tumultuous season that included the transfers of leading rusher Silas Redd and leading receiver Justin Brown after the NCAA announced its sanctions in July. O'Brien also was a finalist for several national coach of the year awards.
ESPN spoke to blue-chip quarterback recruit Christian Hackenberg, who is in Florida this week for the Under Armour All-America Game, concerning the O'Brien rumors. It described Hackenberg as "confident" O'Brien would stay at Penn State.
"I mean, I'm hoping I've got my fingers crossed," Hackenberg said, going on to add that he had discussed NFL openings with O'Brien within the last couple of months. "He [said he's] not worried about it. He's worried about coaching Penn State."

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Mark S. Boguski, M.D., Ph.D., created Genome Health Solutions with an aim to "finally bring the benefits of genomics to patients." [Andrzej - Fotolia.com]
A new health services business is looking to catch what its founder sees as an emerging third wave in the clinical application of genomics.
"We understand the clinical market space, and we understand the technology market space, and we try to bring those two together in the most productive way possible," according to Mark S. Boguski, M.D., Ph.D., F.C.A.P., a faculty member at Harvard Medical School's Center for Biomedical Informatics and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
The clinical market is Genome Health Solutions' primary goal, though biopharmas could sign up, to the extent they are interested in using diagnostics to shape drug development. One important submarket for the company is cancer, given the 1.6 million new diagnoses projected in the U.S. this year by the American Cancer Society. About 80% of patients are treated outside big academic medical centers or cancer centers, Dr. Boguski said: "The market is quite large, and I think we'd like to clearly establish, within the next year, the proof-of-concept for what we're doing, and start to finally bring the benefits of genomics to patients."
Services to be offered by Genome Health Solutions include genomic medicine readiness consulting; genomic technology selection and management; genomic comparative effectiveness programs assessing design and management of cancer genome/transcriptome analyses vs. standard-of-care molecular diagnostics; strategic management of medical social media channels; and individual management of instructive and/or "compassionate use" cases.
Dr. Boguski co-founded Genome Health Solutions with Richard Kellner, who is the company's president and previously headed his own management consultancy.
According to Dr. Boguski, clinical application of genomics has moved past two paradigms or "waves." The first, in the 1990s, envisioned many new drugs emerging through the human genome and its bumper crop of drug targets. The second envisioned genome-wide association study data helping researchers understand, manage, and perhaps prevent chronic common diseases. Dr. Boguski contributed to the Human Genome Project as a senior staff fellow and later senior investigator with NIH's National Center for Biotechnology Information.
"Now we're in the third wave, which is that precision diagnostics will lead to better outcomes," Dr. Boguski said. "If we can understand in any given tumor which genes are the driver mutations—not just on average for a population, but in that individual patient—we can use advanced multiplex technologies to get that information. That opens up the possibility for more targeted therapy which you expect would be more effective."
"That's the current promise of genomics—not so much in therapeutics or disease prevention, but in precision diagnostics that will really enable personalized medicine," he added.
A key hurdle, however, is the cost of interpreting genomic data. For all the hype about the "$1,000 genome," analyzing whole-genome sequencing data and translating it into clinical action is far costlier—between $25,000 and $100,000, Jim Golden, Accenture's chief management scientist, estimated in his Forbes blog. That cost is not (yet) reimbursed by insurance, so patients often pay it, except for instructional or compassionate-use cases.
"Reimbursement of the cost of interpretation is not in place yet. And we don't have a whole lot of evidence of clinical utility. But one can see these developments, and peer into the future, as it were," Edward Abrahams, Ph.D., president of the Personalized Medicine Coalition, told GEN.
Joining Dr. Boguski and Genome Health Solutions in peering into the future are several companies launched in recent years to bring analysis and interpretation to the torrent of genomic data. Intervention Insights uses software developed by the Van Andel Research Institute to help oncologists analyze available cancer drugs to find the best options for patients.
Dr. Boguski isn't familiar with that company, but knows two of three founders of Foundation Medicine. It uses its own lab services and genomic tumor profile, FoundationOne, to detect clinically significant alterations in hundreds of cancer-related genes—then adds data on therapeutic agents and clinical trials for reports to physicians.
"They are offering a test and we are offering complete, customized solutions—that's the simplest way to put it," he said.
Another strength for Genome Health Solutions, says Dr. Abrahams, is Dr. Boguski himself: "He's a leading pathologist and a smart guy, and he recognizes that there are intervening steps between the technology and improved outcomes."
By offering flexibility in data interpretation, Genome Health Solutions can make its own mark in the growing genetic analysis services field, one that positions it to attract both institutional giants and smaller healthcare providers who need access to genomic expertise.

A red onion. We gave you an up-close view of a slice. The whole thing looks like this.
Onions are flavor kings. Some are sweeter than others and they come in three colors: yellow, red, and white. They're also good for you and contain fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and other nutrients.
All can be eaten raw or cooked. Have you ever had onion rings, French onion soup, or onions cooked on the grill? Mmmmmm!
Weird, but promising. A Texas Tech University professor has engineered a new variety of onion that she hopes will help fight cancer. This onion, called the Lady Raider Onion, contains even more quercetin than regular onions. What's quercetin? It's a substance that can help fight disease and keep a person healthy.

Berry's Preferred Plated bullets begin as a swaged lead core. The swaged lead cores are tumbled in an electrically charged bath containing high-grade copper ingots. The copper clings to the lead and the longer the bullets remain in the bath, the thicker the plating. The bullets are plated to the correct size and then taken out of the bath. Plated bullets are not as expensive as jacketed bullets. They are cleaner than lead but you'll want to stay away from magnum velocities when loading plated bullets. This is not loaded ammunition.

This metal-clad Galaxy S IV concept render should be framed at Samsung's design desk
0. phoneArena 06 Feb 2013, 02:50 posted on
Concept phone renderings are where the imagination can run wild and very rarely jibe with production and marketing realities at big companies, but one can dream, right..?
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Take note, Samsung. This thing is beautiful.

the s4 will have LAST gen GPU!--- all you samsung sh33ps can only dream of these specs... when the next iphone comes out it wil have the world fastest gpu period and will crush the likes of g4. BWAHAHA.....drool :D
14. ebubekir26 (Posts: 318; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
you need some serious help
41. iphoneluver (Posts: 3; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
the only people who needs help are android users with their buggy os snd last gen gpu
65. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Is that all you got... "buggy os"?
15. ama3654 (Posts: 295; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
The iphone 5 has a very good gpu no doubt, but its still the worst and most boring smartphone you could ever use with its puny little lcd screen, hmmm what can i say to the next iphone....you can wear a tuxedo on a goat, but its still gonna be a goat!
22. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Actually, the next iPhone will probably have a PowerVR SGX554MP4, the same as in the iPad 4. Or maybe a SGX554MP3, like they did with the iPhone 5; previous iPad's GPU -1 core and up the clock speed. The next iPad will probably have the Rogue series, which will be the most powerful GPU, but certainly not the next iPhone.
All evidence seems to point to the Exynos 5 Octa (which will most likely be in the GS4) having a PowerVR SGX544MP3, which certainly isn't bad, but still not very competitive seeing as though it's not up to par with even the current iPad's GPU, and will get demolished by the next iPad's GPU.
Seems like a bad move by Samsung.
38. iphoneluver (Posts: 3; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
yes the s4 will have the 544 but the fact still remains its last gen gpu and will be crushed when the new iphone comes out with the powervr sgx 554
42. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
That's why I hope that the evidence is wrong and the Exynos 5 Octa will have a Mali-T678 instead of the PowerVR SGX544MP3. Though I haven't seen any official benchmarks or performance claims for the Mali-T678, except for vaguely remembering reading something about the Mali-T658 being twice as powerful as the T604 on Anandtech, and the T678 being 50% more powerful than the T658; so the Mali-T678 should be about 150% of the Mali-T604 if I'm remembering correctly, I wouldn't count on that though.
If Samsung doesn't use the PowerVR Rogue series or the Mali-T678, they're basically handing over victory to Apple in terms of GPU power.
But, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Samsung, so I don't see why I'm thinking of this. I want to see how the Adreno 330 stacks up to the competition.
68. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Um the iPhone 5 doesn't use the 554 and neither will the iPhone 6 unless the battery is huge and the screen res is jacked up to iPad 3 red, which has a zero percent chance of happening.
Besides, Samsung doesn't exactly need the best GPU with a quad core A15 set up.
47. faisolbauuz (Posts: 121; Member since: 05 Jan 2013)
How do you know next iphone will have the world fastet gpu in the world ?comparing sgx 554 to gtx690 the sgx is just a toy if you talking about mobile gpu the novathor a9600 soc will use next gen power vr rogue gpu

Metal Clad? Goodbye NFC. -_-
45. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I'm pretty sure that was only if metal was on the back plate of the device, not the sides like it is in the render. As long as there is no metal over the NFC chip, which it isn't in the render, I think it's fine. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
There's metal around the sides of the render and matte polycarbonate (I'm guessing) for the actual back plate which doesn't interfere with NFC. This design seems very nice, especially when compared with the glossy polycarbonate and faux brushed aluminum band on the GS3. The front speakers are also a nice touch.
48. takay0 (Posts: 144; Member since: 25 Mar 2012)
oh so thats why HTC stop doin metal uni-body to their phones?! i kept wonderin why because it was great! but it the NFC cant work with it- it make sense now =\ i liked it
2. saffant (Posts: 274; Member since: 04 Jul 2011)
Actually looks pretty good. Albeit somewhat iPhone 5-ish at the bottom. But I guess the 5" Full HD screen soon clears up the difference :P

No where near the beauty of the XPERIA Z

Xperia Z: iPhone's a phone?
63. s.mrabet (Posts: 124; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Sure its a phone, you can call and text, but is it a SMARTphone??
24. Mr.Best (Posts: 79; Member since: 17 Jan 2012)
But the Xperia Z is laggy. #fail
30. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
How can you call it laggy when all the reviews on it are based on pre-production software? Wait for reviews of the official release model with final software before calling it laggy.
50. aokde (Posts: 186; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
lol mad sammy fanboy is mad.
36. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
and if you take a look at those specs near the picture, you see that there is no great difference between these specs with those of SXZ
56. HouTexan (Posts: 439; Member since: 08 Jan 2012)
Sammy separates from the competition with SOFTWARE. And it isn't even close.
67. motty (Posts: 84; Member since: 13 Dec 2012)
So true, xperia z is beautiful smartphone ever... And take note of water resistant
4. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Manufacturers should take time to look at concept renders for them to make a phone with an excellent design
5. roscuthiii (Posts: 2217; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
Looks nice... but the speaker design at the bottom could use some more streamlining; the angles clash.
6. ama3654 (Posts: 295; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
OHHH! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, pls pls Samsung use this or better yet ceramics:)
7. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Just a rumor: there is nothing as Exynos 5450 Quad-core 2GHz CPU or Mali-658T availble yet

Shut-up, from Germany... Now we drink our beer yeah? :)
8. sonofzeus (Posts: 95; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
one department in which the samsung is lagging behind others is the design department
They should start thinking about hiring some good designers into the team
12. fugglyPhone (Posts: 3; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
well samsung is limited now that apple has all their great designs patented. TAKE THAT SAMSUNG
19. dan86 (Posts: 298; Member since: 17 Mar 2012)
That useless piece of iCrap metal you call design? When being pathetic became fashion?
9. ffaarrooqq (Posts: 65; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Nice Concept. I would wish to see samsung s4 with some eye catching looks and premium feel. And I am 100% sure, S4 is going to beat iphone5 with a margin.
13. AamirSIII (banned) (Posts: 187; Member since: 04 Oct 2012)
now after so much advancements and this being "2013" what i and almost everyone else wants is, 1-A real SOLID build S4, 2-Mali 658, 3- 2Gb plus RAM, 4- starting from 32GB memory 5- at least 4000mAh battery! and ofcourse better and frequent Software Updates!!!
im really pissed at sammy's all plastic s**t now! if S4 would be all plastic like before, boom, sammy will lose a very loyal customer! and im sure there would be a lot here who will agree with me!
26. BadAssAbe (Posts: 456; Member since: 22 Apr 2011)
I really dont mind the plastic like most samsung users because like the rest of the world i cover my phone with a case and screen protector.
When someone comes out with a unbreakable screen then maybe i would care but then again i might just use a smaller case or a full body screen protectors which would defeat the whole premium feel to a phone.
17. amozhi (Posts: 130; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
If this is S4 I'll give my S3 to my wife and I'll buy S4.
18. rustyimtiaz (Posts: 44; Member since: 16 Oct 2012)
if samsung takes this design then SIV will be really THE NEXT BIG THING!!!! :P
20. BiN4RY (Posts: 83; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
Add a physical home button and i'm sold
23. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
This is good...
I hope Samsung doesn't take anymore clues from the SIII (it's good looking too but now it's getting overused).
25. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Um, no. I dislike this design.
Lacks the subtlety, cohesion, and attention to details.
Look at those bottom speakers, they're just too big and squared.
It would be good only if the screen would be completely black and even closer to the bezel
27. tedkord (Posts: 11620; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Front facing stereo speakers - yes please.
28. Loubielou (Posts: 508; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Just hope this is the Real Images of the S4, but we know people come up with different images of the correct item on the internet,we all know Samsung is going to Release something Special with the S4,so lets wait an see before getting to Excited
31. sportsinger75 (Posts: 71; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Damn... I legit want this render. Lol
32. Mitchel (Posts: 228; Member since: 25 May 2012)
That's my frickin render man! I posted it on The Verge forum first, why not give some credit on me? Lol. But seriously, that's one of my artworks. Here's another two sets of my render:http://img18.imageshack.us/img
33. schinnak (Posts: 91; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
How many of you think S2 had a better design compared to S3?
34. pyradark (Posts: 852; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
its beautiful on render, same as last year, but on final concept "Hello Plastic"
hoping this is final, or else
bye bye sammy
35. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
this is beautiful but i don't like those speakers under the screen.
i think this design will be for note 3 because it says 3100 mAh battery.
37. wando77 (Posts: 838; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
Amazing! Hope Samsung is looking at this especially the front facing speakers as that has been a wish if mine for a while
40. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
take note....samsung will never produce any of this...they are accustomed to cheap and feeble plastic world in which they're drowning daily
44. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Forget the milky way galaxy...
Get the samsung galaxy...
In other way....
If you get the samsung galaxy...you will forget the milky way galaxy....
46. AshishRomea (Posts: 145; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
people who feel XPERIA Z design is not BETTER THAN THIS , means they have no knowledge about what the phone is made of , whats the meaning of OMNI BALANCE and how difficult it is to make WATER PROOF , DUST PROOF , SHOCK PROOF & SHATTER PROOF phone @ 7.9 MM THICKNESS !
51. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The Xperia Z is not shatter proof.
54. pyradark (Posts: 852; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
yah not shatter, but lets see on the drop test
dont forget the tempered glass
72. AshishRomea (Posts: 145; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
then y will sony claim to have put "SHATTER PROOF SHEET" on the phone ? coz its water proof ?

It's No iPad, But North Korea's Tablet Isn't a Joke Either
It came with less fanfare than the iPad Air, the fifth-generation iPad tablet that Apple Inc. is releasing to a frenzied market today.
But the Samjiyon SA-70 tablet, released by North Korea's state-run computer agency earlier this year, could also be an in-demand product, at least for a certain breed of frontier-market tech consumer.
North Korea's nascent tablet industry first gained widespread attention last year, after Martyn Williams, a journalist who runs the North Korea Tech blog, described tablets that appeared to be showing up at trade fairs.
But those reports of a North Korean tablet only generated more questions: Were they any good? Where did they come from? Which was the best model? And how was the screen resolution?
North Korea may not yet have its Walt Mossberg, but for now, Rüdiger Frank, a professor at the University of Vienna, is happy to step in.
Last week, the Korea expert and frequent visitor to the North, penned a product review of the Samjiyon SA-70 that has garnered considerable attention in North Korea-watching circles.
The review — which, it should be noted, is earnest — reveals a product that isn't quite up to Apple-like standards, but isn't a complete embarrassment either. (At 180 euros a pop, the Samjiyon is also a bargain next to the iPad Air, which starts at $499.)
In fact, Mr. Frank, sounding very Mossbergian indeed, kicks off his review by giving the device a hearty thumbs-up: "After a few days of intensive use I can say that this is one of the few cases in my career as a consumer when I got more for my money than I had expected."
From there, Mr. Frank — an owner of an iPad 4 and a Google Nexus 7 — spends 16 pages outlining the specs on the device and ably describing the Samjiyon's software capabilities.
As far as software is concerned, the tablet, which runs on Google Inc.'s Android operating system, offers a wealth of applications — some 488 preloaded onto the device, by Mr. Frank's count.
That includes games like Angry Birds, a "fully functional" Microsoft Office package (Microsoft Corp. had no immediate comment on the apparent installation of its software on the device), a PDF reader and a music player. There are Siri-like voice-recognition functionalities, as well as an amply-stocked digital bookshelf of dictionaries (high quality, Mr. Frank says), encyclopedias ("quite sophisticated") and e-books (expect plenty of Kim Il Sung here, though Dickens, Hugo and Balzac are also present).
The Samjiyon tablet, Mr. Frank concludes, is "a remarkable device," and "tremendously useful" to anyone trying to understand the country.
According to Mr. Frank, the device can't actually connect to the Internet, and while the device is designed to access North Korea's domestic intranet, Mr. Frank said he could find no way to do so. (As a foreigner, he notes that he wouldn't have permission to access the intranet anyway.)
That North Korea can develop and sell such a tablet is a reminder of the technological prowess of a country that, while little understood, has developed enough expertise to become an ever-present online threat to the government websites in South Korea – one of the most wired and technologically savvy countries in the world.
It also highlights the fact that North Korea, for all its economic woes and human rights abuses, has an upper crust of elites with ample disposable income and an appetite for fancy gadgets.
"The existence of this tablet does not in any way change the fact that the DPRK is, for many of its people, a country of hard manual labor and simple living conditions," Mr. Frank wrote in the review, referring to the country by its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"The tablet is not just another toy of a typical consumer-oriented society," he said. "It is a useful and entertaining device for a minority in a totalitarian system with a dominant ideology."
In a phone interview from his office in Vienna, Mr. Frank said that the tablet was still in heavy use, though his iPad is still his go-to device.
"The major disadvantage for a Western client is you can't connect to the Internet, but for everything else, it's actually quite nice," he said. "I was impressed by the sophistication of the software."

The Stetson men's tennis team will compete in its second straight road match this weekend when it takes on Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Saturday. The Hatters (1-2) last played Friday, Feb. 14 in a 4-3 loss at Florida Atlantic and just this week added the contest with the NAIA's Seahawks.
"After the FAU road loss, we felt that the players were in need of more matches to adjust their games for the upcoming challenges," Stetson associate head coach Christophe Noblet said. "Northwood is currently ranked No. 17 in the NAIA so it does constitute a good test for our squad."
Northwood enters the match-up with a 2-1 record, having dropped their most recent meeting with No. 19 (NAIA) Warner University, 6-3 on its home courts.
"Our primary focus will be on doubles," Noblet explained. "Our slow start cost us the point against FAU, so I am looking forward to our guys being eager to compete from the first point on."
The match between the Hatters and the Seahawks will take place at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach and will be played under NCAA Division I rules. Competition starts at 1:00 p.m.

Alison Weir runs If Americans Knew (IAK), an organization she founded following a trip to the Palestinian territories in 2001. Established to monitor the U.S. media for what Weir has described as "highly disturbing patterns of bias" in Israel's favor, IAK produces and disseminates propaganda intended to de-legitimize U.S. support for Israel. The group's Web site provides a Portland, Oregon, mailing address.
While Paul Findley and Andrew Killgore – both from Council for National Interest (CNI) – are listed as "new" board members, IAK appears to function primarily as Weir's personal propaganda machine.
IAK frequently lends support to individuals that it deems are being unfairly attacked by the pro-Israel establishment in the U.S. When former White House correspondent Helen Thomas delivered a speech rife with anti-Semitic remarks at a gathering of Arab Americans in Detroit in December 2010, IAK wrote a letter to its supporters defending Thomas and arguing that it is "important" to stand by her.
The organization also published a handout defending Thomas's statements the previous June when she had remarked that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and go back to "Germany, Poland, America, and everywhere else." IAK countered that Thomas' remark was reasonable because Jews in Israel are "settlers" who came from elsewhere and that because the "Nazi holocaust ended well over half a century ago" it is not inappropriate to insist that Jews return to areas in Europe where they were formerly persecuted and killed en masse.
IAK not only disregarded the blatant anti-Semitic nature of Thomas' comments but also seemed to consider the whole affair, including Thomas' decision to resign after her comments were made public, a manipulation by the pro-Israel lobby in an attempt to cast out anyone who does not support Israel. The final statement of IAK's handout is, "It is likely that Israel partisans are breathing a sign of relief…One more obstacle to the Zionist juggernaut has just been removed."
In addition to IAK's defense of abhorrent statements made by others, it also propagates its own anti-Israel theories, including the notion that the U.S.' relationship with Israel is detrimental to American interests. In a statement available on its Web site, IAK charges that U.S. support for Israel is "increasingly imperiling American lives and is driven by "special interest lobbying and high-powered neoconservatives in the U.S. government. This support "interferes with American relations with the oil-producing nations, with whom we previously had friendly ties…with Muslim consumers…and removes much-needed money from domestic American requirements—tax revenues that could be addressed to domestic needs are instead sent abroad to prop up a system of discrimination."
The group seeks to educate the American public "on issues of major significance that are unreported, under-reported, or misreported" in the American media, in the hopes of mobilizing people to demand an end to U.S. support for Israel. "It is our belief that when Americans know the facts on a subject," the IAK's mission statement reads, "they will, in the final analysis, act in accordance with morality, justice, and the best interests of their nation, and of the world."
In a September 2003 poster display at the "UN International Conference of Civil Society in Support of the Palestinian People," IAK sought to portray Israel as committing terrorism and harming Palestinian children as a matter of policy (pictured on right).
IAK further attempts to discredit Israel by promoting the widely debunked USS Liberty conspiracy theory, which alleges that Israeli forces intentionally attacked an American vessel during the Six Day War in 1967, as well as the 2003 death of Rachel Corrie, an American college student and International Solidarity Movement volunteer crushed by an Israeli army bulldozer while trying to block the demolition of a Palestinian home in Gaza.
A message on the IAK Web site cites both the USS Liberty and Corrie incidents as evidence of Israel's "brutality." Addressing Corrie's death, the message reads: "If the world – in particular, if Americans – allow this incident to go virtually unnoticed, then our lack of outcry will give a green light to an Israeli regime known for its brutality: If Israel can get away with using an American financed, American-built bulldozer to kill a young American woman, then it will feel it can get away with anything." The letter concludes, "It is time for Americans to turn the light bright red…No longer will we look the other way. No more may you use American money to kill children, American money to kill Americans, American money to crush young women to death, American money to kill peace."
IAK compiles statistical information on what it claims is a pro-Israel bias among major U.S. print and TV media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It has targeted several network news stations and newspapers, including The New York Times and The San Francisco Chronicle, and alleges that the Associated Press bureau in Israel unfairly controls the information coming out of its bureau in the occupied territories. The group's findings are available on its Web site and are distributed at lectures, rallies and conferences across the U.S.
IAK also produces documentaries that support its positions on Israel, which are widely available at anti-Israel events and for purchase on the group's Web site. One IAK documentary, titled "The Easiest Targets: the Israeli Policy of Strip Searching Women and Children," dismisses Israel security measures as cruel and perverted. The documentary alleges that unbeknownst to the American public, border guards and airport security officials perform illegal strip searches on women and children, whom they harass and humiliate.
The IAK Web site has a trailer for its new documentary featuring interviews with individuals Weir describes as having "very strong, very patriotic credentials, experts in the Middle East [who] are all telling us that the policies in Israel are disastrous." Several of those interviewed are involved with Council for National Interest (CNI), including Paul Findley, former U.S. Congressman and CNI founding chairman; and Eugene Bird, U.S. Foreign Service Officer and CNI president.

A startling and memorable routine that will leave your audiences talking about you.
A playing card is selected and lost in the deck. A small packet of baseball cards are shown to be all different. After mixing the baseball cards the top one is seen to be a baseball player swinging a bat. The spectator inserts the baseball card anywhere in the deck. He is told that the baseball card will find his selection. The cards above and below the baseball card are checked and found not to be the selection. For a startling conclusion the baseball card is turned over to reveal that the player in the picture is now holding the selected card instead of his bat.
Comes with all necessary baseball cards (use your own deck). Can be repeated.

An all time favorite of mine. This goes over very well especially with sports fans. The payoff is great as spectator's inclination to pick at the card as if you put a sticker on there while they were not looking, is equivalent to the obligatory head scratching of confusion. You can get alot of miles out of this. I actually took some risk out of it, by not showing the card normal, yet it did not take away from the amazement of viewers seeing me turn the cards over to reveal the payoff.
– tee turner
Be carefull. This trick is very effective and the gimmick is worth $15 however I advise against using the inserted instructions that make you risj too much. I recommend that you isolate 3 cards with the target among them. Isolate 3 ball players with the target among them. All are faced down of course. Knowing where your target is in both cases, simply force the first card you need and then the second. You should use at least 2 colunteers to force your cards. Google on this techniqye. Rgus us mych cleaner than the instruction version. Seeing the talking card in nontalking at the onset is not worth the risj involved, Rgus wat has many of its own payoffs. At the end you can get skeptics by seeing what they think. If they think all ball players talk, have them flip over both 1 at a time. if they think all cards were the same, have them flip these over, Now that was 2 more big payoffs in this single trick, Works rbrty time.

For many children, reading books can be uninteresting. But in a city where the illiteracy rate once reportedly hovered close to 50 per- cent, learning how to read from Mom and Dad could be a challenge. In 2004, with Detroit's illiteracy rate in mind, Ola Ivery, wife of Wayne County Community College District Chancellor Dr. Curtis Ivery, decided to take action.
She established the Bookworm Club, a reading program at WCCCD for children 3 to 7. "I wanted to teach children the importance of reading at the earliest stage of learning, and how exciting it is," Ivery said. She and her husband believe they share a generational responsibility to make reading accessible to every- one. "Literacy is a prerequisite to education," Ivery said.
"It's key to a person lifting themselves up in life and going on to get a good job." Ivery and an average of five to seven volunteers run the yearlong program every three months on the first Saturday of the month. But there is more to the club than just reading books. The Bookworm Club ties song, dance and word games in with story time, and a giant bookworm mascot leads activities at the club meetings.
"Two of the events involve learning how to read maps and music. The idea was to provide a well-rounded definition of literacy, and to introduce children to a broader world of learning," Ivery said. Although the program welcomes all children, it was designed for children who don't yet know how to read.
"Providing positive experiences and associations with reading and learning at this stage is intended to create a life- long love and appreciation for reading and education," Ivery said. The club aims to "stoke the natural curiosity every child has to learn about the world around them," she said. "The District's overall mission is to pro- vide a better life through learning." Since Feb. 2004, the Bookworm Club has grown. Once concentrated at the downtown Detroit campus, it now has clubs at each of WCCCD's five Southeast Michigan campuses.
More than 1,000 children have come through the Bookworm Club. Ivery said that al- though it's important to get kids excited about reading here in Southeast Michigan because of the region's illiteracy rates, it's also important for kids anywhere. "There is a lot of com- petition for children's attention, from video games to television to packed extracurricular schedules," she said. "We think it's vital for children to learn that literacy is the starting point of nearly any place they want to go in life and in the world."
While the children are participating in the pro- gram, the first thing Ivery notices is "the light in the children's eyes." "They are engaged, they're interested, and they are excited about what they are seeing and learning," she said. But it's not only the children that have this experience. "We see real joy on the parents' faces as they watch their children learning something new. It's a family event, and tremendously gratifying and exciting to watch."
This article originally appeared in the October issue of BLAC magazine. Ola Ivery is a scholar, educator, mentor and loving wife who can be best described in what Langston Hughes calls "a talented woman." She came to Detroit from Dallas, Texas, and found her niche at WCCCD where she has developed outreach programs that encourage intellectual development and growth through reading.

This paper gives a few case studies where the relationship has blossomed into one of trust.
As your IT landscape becomes ever more complex it puts greater pressure on you to ensure that you remain up to date, compliant, available and secure, whilst delivering a consistent operational performance to all members of staff.

After her recent trip to hell, Betsy isn't exactly sorry she killed the devil, even though it's put her sister Laura in a damnable position: forced to assume the role of Satan—she may not have the training, but she sure looks great in red—and in charge of billions of souls now that she's moved up in the world. Or is that down?
But Betsy's in an odd new situation as well—that of being a monarch suddenly in charge of all things earthbound, like her husband, Sinclair, who has gone from relieved to ecstatic to downright reckless now that he can tolerate sunlight.
As if that wasn't enough, Betsy and Sinclair's adopted little BabyJon is finally starting to walk. And if the increasingly unpredictable toddler is anything like his extended family, precisely where he's headed is anyone's guess.
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader:
I gave it some thought, and I think the only thing worse than going to Hell (especially if you don't think you've done anything to deserve burning in a lake of fire for eternity) is running Hell. The bureaucracy, the demonic co-workers, the locals who hate you as much as they fear you, and (to channel Elaine on Seinfeldfor a minute) the heat. My God, the heat! It must be a lot like being a cog in the DMV: necessary, but utterly thankless.
Well, too bad for Betsy, because that's what she's facing in this book. Due to the events of Undead and Unstable, Hell's top spot is now vacant, and the Anti-Christ figures that since Betsy created the vacancy, she should be the one to fill it. Betsy disagrees, but the Anti-Christ has ways and ways…
This is also the first Undead book where half of it is told from the vampire king's perspective: Sinclair (or Sink Lair, as Betsy insists on calling him). The happy couple are wrenched apart early on, and while Betsy is trapped with the damned in Hell, Sinclair is prepared to go through anything—or anyone—to rescue his beloved queen.
I don't know about you guys, but I can't believe this is the 12th Betsy book. I've somehow managed to make a dozen of something. If the books were eggs, they would have their own carton! I'm not sure why I find that so exciting, but I do! Thus all the exclamation marks! A decade ago, when I had the image of a young woman waking up in a morgue in awful orange makeup and someone else's shoes, a woman who had no idea she was a vampire, I wrote it down simply to get it out of my brain and onto paper. I had no idea the silly brave queen of the vampires would change my life, 100% for the better.
Speaking of 100% better, you guys had everything to do with that. I can't tell you how much your e-mails and letters have meant to me over the years. From readers who have brought one of my books to a chemo session because they needed a laugh, to readers telling me they want to be a writer just like me, it's so humbling and I feel more blessed than I could ever, ever put into words. And so here is my solemn, swear-on-a-stack-of-Jimmy-Choos oath to you: as long as you want to keep reading about Betsy and her pals, I'll keep writing about them.
So buckle in and get ready…Betsy's stuck in Hell, Sinclair's stuck without her, and the Anti-Christ is big-time peeved.
Much love,

No state in the country has remained untouched by the controversy over the teaching of evolution in public schools.
Watch an interview with author, financial expert and actor Ben Stein. Stein has a new moving coming out soon titled Expelled. The movie looks at the evolution and intelligent design controversy going on in the country. Click the play button to view.
Most states have squelched criticism of the theory and the alternative theory of Intelligent Design. But the issue just will not go away -- in places like Texas.
Lone Star Textbook
When Texas chooses a textbook, the rest of the nation listens and other states often follow their lead. Even California, a traditional textbook bellwether, has lost influence because their education funds are depleted because of misspent tax funds.
This means national attention in the looming state battle over science and health textbooks that teach evolution. Attorney Cynthia Dunbar is serves on the Texas State Board of Education.
"What we want is for our students to be taught critical thinking skills, to be taught the scientific method," Dunbar explained to CBN News. "And what rises to the level of being deemed a theory -- teach the strengths and weaknesses of any and every theory."
However, most scientists say evolution has no weaknesses.
"Evolution is probably the most successful and impressive scientific theory of all time," said Dr. Lawrence Krauss, a physicist at Case Western Reserve. "It has been tested over and over and over again."
New Movie Challenges Darwinian Theory
A new motion picture will be released in April that challenges that idea. The movie is titled Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. It stars actor Ben Stein.
In one scene from the movie, Dr. David Berlinski talks about Darwin's theory. "One of my prevailing doctrines about Darwinian theory is: 'Man, that thing is just a mess. It's like looking into a room full of smoke," he says.
Berlinski is a mathematician and philosopher. He has taught at Stanford, Rutgers, and the University of Paris.
"Nothing in the theory is precisely, clearly, carefully defined and delineated," he said. "It lacks all of the rigor one expects from mathematical physics. And mathematical physics lacks all the rigor one expects from mathematics. So we're talking about a gradual descent down the level of intelligibility until we reach evolutionary biology."
According to polls, most parents want those criticisms of evolution presented. They don't want life taught exclusively as an accident and would like the theory of intelligent design to be in the curriculum.
Intelligent design or ID, is the theory that nature shows evidence of planning and forethought, unlike evolution's claim that chance and mutations can create complexity.
In the future, parents want ID taught fairly unlike current offerings.
"There are some textbooks which give maybe two paragraphs on it," said Dr. William Dembski. "And they misrepresent it. So they will characterize it as creationism and then trash it."
Evolution Bureaucracy?
Dembski is a Texas parent and an expert on ID. He says evolution maintains its power not because it's valid, but because it's an entrenched bureaucracy.
"They can't afford, as it were, to think outside the box," he explained. "Because once they allow that intelligent design is a legitimate scientific project they're sunk, because then they have to consider the evidence for and against evolutionary theory."
Dembski knows about that power. He formerly headed an ID research center at Baylor University until evolutionists got that effort kicked off campus after just a year of operation. Also a mathematician and philosopher, he now teaches at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Dunbar says evolution needs to be seen for what it largely is -- almost a religion of nature -- cloaked in science.
"What you have is a belief system that's based upon faith that's being taught and mandated to be taught without exception," she said. "And students are not allowed to even be able to think about these issues."
Dunbar is careful to explain that when she refers to the belief system aspects of evolution, she is referring to macroevolution. That's the grand scheme of man evolving from one-celled creatures. Microevolution is the variation and change about which everyone agrees.
Dunbar says that means macroevolution -- as a belief system -- should not have protected status in Texas textbooks or anywhere else. Otherwise, states face a potential accusation that they are teaching religion. Of course, she says, microevolution should continue to be taught as it has been for decades.

A group of teenagers who act so stupid you think they eat paste. Like a paste-eater but a whole group of people who are all immature, permafried or just plain stupid. (they don't actually have to eat paste but they just act like they do. They act kinda like Ralph from 'The Simpsons')
haha look at those paste kids hanging by the bike rack.

The god worshipped by the character Hidan from the show Naruto. It means "evil god" or "evil heart". Jashin, according to Hidan, expects that all followers of Jashin bring nothing less but utter destruction and death. Always before a fight, Hidan prays to Jashin, asking for a "good kill". If he is unsuccessful, or is not allowed to kill, he prays for forgiveness.
Jashin will punish you for not watching Naruto!

Earlier this week, the Ohio Senate approved legislation authorizing joint boards of county commissioners to conduct routine business via teleconference or videoconference.
State Sen. Dave Burke, R-Marysville, introduced Senate Bill 207 after county commissioners in Seneca and Sandusky counties expressed a desire to hold proceedings over the phone or video.
Every spring, commissioners go to the six counties that Seneca County has joint ditches with, and have short meetings with those counties' commissioners to affirm maintenance assessments, Commissioner Jeff Wagner said.
Wagner said many counties do these assessments over the phone because the meetings only take a couple of minutes, but commissioners have been advised not to do this because it is illegal, he said.
"It's just not the best use of our time to go up there (to other counties)," Commissioner Ben Nutter said. "And the hearings take literally minutes, two or three minutes. It takes longer to do the roll call vote."
Seneca County resident Susan Smith suggested commissioners pursue legislation to allow them to do the assessments via teleconference, Wagner said.
If the bill does not pass in the Ohio House of Representatives by the end of the year, it will die and have to be proposed again next year.
"It's going to be tight," Wagner said. "Hopefully they can get it done."
In new business, the board approved:
An appropriation adjustment of $1,000 within the Maintenance & Repair Fund.
A fund transfer of $4,364.07 to be made to the Maintenance & Repair Fund.
A decrease of $7,493.29 to the permanent appropriations for the 2011 Paving Fund.
An appropriation adjustment of $85 for the Public Assistance Fund.
An appropriation adjustment of $2,920 within the General Fund.
An appropriation adjustment of $13,767 within the General Fund.
A supplemental appropriation of $200 for the Poll Worker Training Grant Fund.
A supplemental decrease of $2,000 to the permanent appropriations for the Clerks Computer Research Fund.

Brie with Apricot Topping CrockPot Recipe
This recipe is part of Oprah.com's Holiday Food Blogger Roundup. Welcome Oprah.com readers! Thank you for stopping by. xoxo steph
Day 286.
I didn't even try to light this properly and attempt a nice picture. Instead, I removed the stoneware from the base, wrapped it up in a beach towel, grabbed a sleeve of crackers and plopped on the couch in front of the TV. When Adam or the kids got near, I snarled and batted them away with my arm.
This couldn't possibly taste any better.
The Ingredients.
adapted from the Halloween issue of Taste of Home
--1 large round or wedge of brie (the round I used was 13.2 oz)
--1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
--2 T brown sugar
--2 T water
--1 tsp balsamic vinegar
--1/4 tsp dried rosemary
--1/2 cup chopped walnuts
The Directions.
I used a 1.5 mini round crockpot. If you are going to use a big one, put the brie in an oven-safe dish. As long as the dish and the crockpot heat together, you're all good.
If your brie has a really hard rind, cut the top part off. This was the first time I had used this brand of brie---I've always reached for the stuff from Trader Joe's---and I was alarmed at how thick the rind was.
Put the brie into the crockpot.
In a bowl, mix the chopped apricots, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, water and rosemary together. Spoon on top of the brie.
Sprinkle on the chopped walnuts.
Cover and cook on high for 1-2 hours, or on low for about 3. Check after an hour in both cases just in case.
Serve with your favorite crackers or apple slices.
The Verdict.
I eventually shared with Adam. We had it as dinner.
The flavor is so amazing, and the brie got so gooey and amazing. I think I just drooled a bit.
