Richard Pryor and Don Draper, soul mates
June 19, 2013
Somewhere in the middle of Showtime's new documentary about Richard Pryor, it hit me: They're also talking here about Don Draper, the antihero at the center of the TV series "Mad Men," which concludes its sixth season Sunday night.
New outdoor movie screen debuts at Millennium Park
June 18, 2013
Because of its proximity to The Bean, they are calling it "The Screen."
The Force not always with Star Wars
June 13, 2013
Since I expressed displeasure last month with Star Wars and the cultural expectation that we know and care all about it, I've received a steady stream of letters offering critiques of my viewpoint, although "critique" may be too delicate a word for some of the sentiments expressed therein.
Shedd Aquarium's got the touch
June 12, 2013
At the Shedd Aquarium these days, there's almost as much touching going on as at a massage therapist's spa or an Apple store.
City's festivals go hunting for variety
June 10, 2013
At this year's Just for Laughs Chicago comedy festival, not one of the main headliners, the people playing the Chicago Theatre and featured atop the website, is a woman.
Europa, America
June 4, 2013
I was about three sips into the margarita I ordered at Chipotle when it dawned on me: America, at long last, is becoming Europe, something those of us who spent time abroad in college have fantasized about and dreaded for years.
Star Wars is overrated: Blasphemy or truth?
May 31, 2013
May the Force be dissipated.
Chicago native Susan Aikens stars on NatGeo's 'Life Below Zero'
May 29, 2013
Seeing Susan Aikens in "Life Below Zero," the new National Geographic Channel reality series about enduring Alaska, it's hard to fathom that she was once a child of Chicago's northwest suburbs. Aikens, who for 11 years has run the Kavik River Camp near the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, seems so at home in her parka and her remote outpost that it's hard to imagine her anywhere else.
Lester Holt is NBC News' go-to guy
May 24, 2013
On a dusty field at the south end of Lincoln Park, Lester Holt has just finished taking his first-ever swings at a 16-inch softball, part of a report he's planned for NBC's "Today" show on Chicago summers more than making up for the winters.
Toned down 'Today Show' hits Chicago
May 22, 2013
Big picture, not much went right for the "Today Show's" planned broadcast from Chicago this week.
Secret's out: Brookfield Zoo dolphins are pregnant
May 21, 2013
One secret to a dolphin ultrasound is that the machine is pretty much the same one used on human women, except the "Logiq e Vet" branding badge is replaced with something more species-appropriate.
Stingray Touch exhibit opens for summer at Shedd Aquarium
May 15, 2013
The surprise isn't that the Shedd Aquarium now has an exhibit where visitors can touch stingrays as they glide by, but rather that the most popular aquarium in the U.S. hasn't had one before now.
'Cosmic Wonder': New Adler show goes deep into universe
May 14, 2013
I've seen three shows now in Adler Planetarium's still new, still state-of-the-art central domed theater, and I remain amazed at the quality of the celestial imagery and at the precision with which it is projected up on the dome.
TV review: Amazon for kids safe but restrained
May 8, 2013
Amazon is smart to aim almost half of its pilot slate — six of the 14 shows it's put up for public perusal — at kids. Today's toddlers are tomorrow's Amazon Wish List sharers at holiday time. And busy parents looking for relief don't care about the medium: They would let their charges watch video projected out of a beer bottle if it was respectable stuff and it bought the parents some peace.
Peter Sagal takes educational ride with 'Constitution USA'
May 6, 2013
"Constitution USA With Peter Sagal," the new PBS series about the country's ever-disputed founding document, tests an important constitutional principle: that the framework for a federal government, drafted with high hopes and noble purpose back in 1787, can be taught via flush toilets, marijuana buds and a public-radio host riding a Harley.
'Alpha' leads Amazon's pilot pack
May 2, 2013
Not content to just sell us books, lawn implements, baseball bats, printers, devices to read books on, bar tools, printer paper, used printers, ink cartridges, used ink cartridges and automobile floor mats — did I miss anything? — Amazon is trying to join cable, broadcast and Netflix in providing America with original, TV-like series.
'Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!' hits the silver screen
April 30, 2013
Peter Sagal is, at minimum, amused to be following a theatrical-presentation path cleared by Glenn Beck.
Getting 'birded' in Lincoln Park
April 25, 2013
Like at least one of them has been doing almost every morning since March, Mason Fidino and Kelvin Limbrick are standing in a flat, grassy patch north of Lincoln Park's nature museum, looking intently at sky and trees and listening like, well, hawks.
Steve Harvey hits on winning daytime formula
April 23, 2013
"Steve Harvey" is not everyone's cup of afternoon tea.
Chicago Humanities Festival lets in the Animal
April 23, 2013
In announcing its fall programming theme, "Animal: What Makes Us Human," the Chicago Humanities Festival provides one answer to the question that, for want of a question mark, it doesn't quite pose.
Remember when nostalgia died?
April 12, 2013
I cannot be the only one who gets a little jolt anytime he encounters someone waxing nostalgic over the 1980s or even the 1990s.
Let's talk about the Comcast experience
April 9, 2013
Consumer loyalty, in the digital media era, seems to be as valued as an AOL start-up disk. Customers of most cellphone companies finish their contracts and win the right to keep paying the same high prices that supposedly included the cost of their once-new phones.
Going one-on-one with Paula Poundstone
March 28, 2013
(BY STEVE JOHNSON) ... Paula Poundstone lives in Santa Monica, Calif. "We're near the Jack in the Box," she says. "But I don't like to brag." And although she doesn't perform her stand-up comedy in Chicago often, she's here all the time.
To Xfinity, and beyond: A critique of television providers
March 22, 2013
Even now, even as paid critics become an endangered species, there remains a lot of television criticism, discussion of the import and meaning of the various filmed entertainments that flicker across our ever-larger screens.
Exhibit at Field Museum sheds light on Lascaux caves
March 20, 2013
"It's almost too beautiful," said the first scientist to descend into the Lascaux caves, according to "Scenes From the Stone Age: The Cave Paintings of Lascaux," an important and highly engaging new exhibit at the Field Museum.
'Animal Inside Out' is Body Worlds' take on beasts and birds
March 13, 2013
The last time the Body Worlds people displayed at the Museum of Science and Industry, in a 2011 exhibition showing the development and decline of the human corpus, they included, with seeming incongruity, an ostrich.
Ocean wonders abound in Field Museum's 'Creatures of Light'
March 6, 2013
It's dark in the rooms that hold the new exhibition at the Field Museum, dark almost like in the deep ocean where many of the featured "Creatures of Light" live.
Waits of the world now easy to bear
March 5, 2013
Just a second.
In a flash, meteor injures 1,100 in Russia
February 16, 2013
Despite coming to the planet without warning, the meteorite that crashed near Chelyabinsk, Russia, on Friday is the largest object to strike Earth in more than a century and the most widely documented such incident ever, NASA and Chicago experts said.
'This American Life' tackles Chicago violence
February 13, 2013
Ads go long in hopes of scoring with viewers
February 5, 2013
Sunday's Super Bowl telecast was a home for epic ads: Chrysler's Jeep and Ram brands and Samsung all turned in 2-minute spots, succeeding with sincerity (Chrysler) and snark (Samsung). Except for a popular, sentimental Clydesdale, beer ads mostly fell flat. And cars, as befits their function in life, were all over the map. Here's a sampling of what professional and amateur reviewers had to say about the 2013 Ad Bowl:
Beck Bennett's calling answered with AT&T ads
January 30, 2013
It probably still happens the old-fashioned way: a beautiful face spotted sipping a milkshake at Schwab's, a screen test and stardom.
Song barkers: Cutting through the 'Heys'
January 23, 2013
There's a question that someone paying close attention to contemporary pop music would not be considered crazy for asking:
Music story isn't over yet for Dolly Varden
January 17, 2013
A sampling of how it works for a rock 'n' roll band in middle age:
Logging family time with Lincoln
January 16, 2013
Abraham Lincoln has been given many titles over the years: Rail Splitter, Great Emancipator, even, to the detriment of the undead, Vampire Hunter.
'Shameless' season 3 review: Bumpy start but room to grow
January 9, 2013
To spend time with the Gallaghers, of Chicago's South Side and Showtime's Sunday night lineup, is to enter a world of unrelenting near chaos. Almost every time the viewer blinks, an eye is blackened or love is made or fraud is committed.
This year's upcoming museum exhibits
January 2, 2013
Glowing fish, giant dinosaurs, plasticized animals and more. That's not a description of the toy aisles at Target, or at least it's not only that. It also spotlights what's coming up in the new year at the area's family museums and zoos. Here are some of the events we are anticipating in 2013:
Blink twice if you're for traffic safety
December 28, 2012
I know, I know. The wrist thing.
Adler Planetarium names Michelle Larson new president
December 11, 2012
Michelle Larson's faculty page at Utah State University displays a picture of her cozying up to a bust of Albert Einstein. Lego Albert Einstein.
For Paul Salopek, a 7-year, 30-million-step journey
December 5, 2012
What is surely one of the most ambitious, audacious journalistic projects ever attempted will begin in January with a footstep headed out of Ethiopa's Rift Valley, just like one early humans took 50,000-70,000 years ago.
Power is on at ZooLights in Lincoln Park and Brookfield Zoo's Holiday Magic
December 5, 2012
You can call it humbuggery, but I had a pretty low-voltage reaction to ZooLights the first time I went to see it, probably 10 years ago.
What is the future of Lincoln Park Zoo's rabies program in Africa?
December 4, 2012
BUNDA, Tanzania — Tucked in a quiet corner of the bustling area occupied by this town's bus station and central market, the setup doesn't look like much: a few of the country's ubiquitous four-wheel-drive vehicles, some men in dress shirts, and a red bucket and a couple of picnic coolers that are at least as beat-up as the trucks.
Chicagoan saves one dog at a time from rabies in Africa
December 3, 2012
NANGALE, Tanzania — Only about half the dogs Anna Czupryna is studying in Tanzania have names. Dogs are different here. They are foragers and night watchmen who are treated more like livestock than pets.
Lincoln Park Zoo works to eradicate rabies in Africa
December 1, 2012
NANGALE, Tanzania — Huddled with his younger brother, the young man laughs easily, conspiratorially, at the commotion caused by the presence of curious foreigners in his family's modest compound outside this small village.
Zoo's anti-rabies program attracts local donations, big and small
December 1, 2012
Drink lemonade, save a lion.
Celebrate your golden anniversary at the Field
November 29, 2012
The traditional 50th wedding anniversary gift is gold. But museum tickets might make a good second choice, or an additional present, as the Field Museum invites couples married in 1962 to its main hall for its third-annual celebration of marital longevity. Staying hitched that long, it is fair to say, is a kind of natural history.
Author Ford's 'Canada' reads like Midwest
November 11, 2012
Viewed casually, the event featuring author Richard Ford on Sunday night might have seemed a series of dislocations.
'Charlie Brown and the Great Exhibit': Good, not great, grief
November 7, 2012
"Charlie Brown and the Great Exhibit" is a big, reasonably well-stuffed celebration of one of the great achievements in American popular culture, the "Peanuts" newspaper comic strip by lachrymose Minnesotan Charles Schulz.
Field Museum and Oriental Institute launch bird exhibits
October 24, 2012
Taxidermy is not front and center at the Oriental Institute Museum's new ornithological exhibition
At the MSI, it's the Charlie Brownest
October 24, 2012
Following in the footsteps of its very popular — and not particularly scientific — Dr. Seuss and Jim Henson exhibitions, the Museum of Science and Industry now gives Chicago a show devoted to comic artist Charles Schulz and his great, enduring creation, the newspaper comic strip "Peanuts." The show will include biography, a recreation of Schulz's drawing studio, and many examples from the strip. A special emphasis is said to be placed on the impact of "Peanuts" on popular culture. The requisite interactivity will come in the form of a piano, like Schroeder's but bigger, and in chances for kids to do their own drawing.
'Backyard Monsters': An ant chauffeur's story, set to Metallica
October 17, 2012
If you go to "Backyard Monsters" at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, the new exhibition of big, animatronic insects and their much smaller, much more genuine counterparts, you probably won't catch wind of what it took to get some of the live insects there. Here's one story:
Field Museum birds are in fine feather
September 26, 2012
A good museum is constantly revising and reinventing itself. So it is that the Field's newly named Ronald and Christina Gidwitz Hall of Birds reopened Tuesday after an extensive renovation.
Emo Phillips is still ... Emo
September 20, 2012
It may surprise those who remember Emo Philips from his white-hot 1980s days to learn that Downers Grove's favorite son is still performing stand-up comedy, and, at 56, still doing it the same way: as a sort of querulous, bowl-cut man-child squeaking out devastatingly clever one-liners.
Emo Philips is still ... Emo
September 20, 2012
It may surprise those who remember Emo Philips from his white-hot 1980s days to learn that Downers Grove's favorite son is still performing stand-up comedy and, at 56, still doing it the same way: as a sort of querulous, bowl-cut man-child squeaking out devastatingly clever one-liners.
Designer Maria Pinto creates chic fashion boutique in Field Museum collection
September 19, 2012
There's even a pair of (very) hot pants on display that look like they could be worn Saturday night at (fill in the name of whatever Chicago club is "happening" these days).
A divided 'Doctor': New drama chains M.D. to the mob
September 16, 2012
If nothing else, "The Mob Doctor" will not run afoul of any truth-in-advertising laws.
10 museum exhibits for your fall 2012
September 12, 2012
Here are some shows and exhibits to watch for at Chicago's museums and zoos this fall, roughly in order of appearance:
Retiring Field Museum, Adler Planetarium presidents give their final thoughts
September 12, 2012
This autumn and early winter will see the biggest change in Chicago's Museum Campus since Lake Shore Drive took a hard swing to the west to create the parkland connection of cultural institutions 14 years ago.
Snakes on a plain: Lincoln Park Zoo re-populates species
September 5, 2012
The people, mostly from the partnering Lincoln Park Zoo and Lake County Forest Preserve District, were scientists, public-relations specialists, photojournalists, even an intern, all of them, at times, watching the reptiles like hawks, though with the opposite intent of actual hawks.
Steve Harvey keeping it real with new daytime TV talk show
August 30, 2012
The dream, for Steve Harvey, was always late-night: the monologue, the desk, the studio band. It was the pinnacle for a successful stand-up comic, and Harvey had been very successful.
On the record: Stand-up comics with Chicago ties aim to impress on debut albums
August 23, 2012
One of Beth Stelling's motivations for making an album out of her stand-up comedy was to put some of her older, best-working material on the record to, in a way, enshrine it and push herself to move on to the next thing.
At the Lincoln Park Zoo, camping out under the monkeys
August 22, 2012
The campfire was in a metal pit, under a great, wide roof. The tents were pitched on a well-tended lawn, with help from people who work for an outdoors store. Bears were a threat only if someone had forgotten to lock an enclosure door.
At City Winery opener, Lewis Black stews while kitchen lags behind
August 16, 2012
Lewis Black goes from zero to peripatetic faster than almost anybody you've met, or seen.
The 'Boss' returns, for better and worse
August 15, 2012
Meet the new "Boss," almost the same as the old "Boss."
Reopened Santa's Village feeds nostalgia
August 14, 2012
It is probably not accurate and certainly not provable to say Phil Wenz willed Santa's Village back into being. But it's not a crazy thing to believe either.
Rosemont no longer just conventions and concerts
August 9, 2012
There was a time, not long ago, when the idea of spending a night out in Rosemont would have been interpreted as penance.
Don't touch that NPR dial
July 13, 2012
For a confederation of supposed liberals, public radio can be awfully conservative.
Local comedians cut up in the studio for 'Mixtape'
July 10, 2012
The night before in Million Yen Studios, on the city's Northwest Side, the local rock duo Local H was putting some finishing touches on its first studio album in four years.
Three summer reality TV shows use Chicago settings, but only one satisfies
June 27, 2012
Jerry Springer may have abandoned Chicago three years ago, but the impresario of camera-ready interpersonal conflict will be pleased to know that his influence remains.
Ecologically advanced Smart Home at Museum of Science and Industry redesigned
June 27, 2012
They weren't kidding when they named the modular house just east of the main Museum of Science and Industry building the Smart Home.
Reviews from Just for Laughs Chicago: Kevin Smith, Hannibal Buress, Janeane Garofalo + Kyle Kinane, Scott Adsit + Kevin Dorff, Patton Oswalt and Stephen Merchant
June 15, 2012
Going into "An Evening with Kevin Smith," it was difficult to imagine Smith answering audience questions as a Chicago Theatre show and one of the centerpieces of this year's TBS Just for Laughs Chicago comedy festival.
Museum of Broadcast Communications opens doors
June 13, 2012
With sitcom stars Betty Whiteand John Mahoneyon hand to help founder Bruce DuMont cut the ribbon, Chicago's Museum of Broadcast Communications officially re-opened its doors Wednesday, 8 1/2 years after it left its previous, Cultural Center location.
Love for Laughs is growing: How the TBS comedy fest got to be the biggest in the U.S.
June 8, 2012
You won't find universal love for the Just for Laughs festival in Chicago's comedy scene. But as the aggregation of local, national and international talent prepares to begin its fourth annual run here this week, you will find something close — plus recognition that Just for Laughs, the country's largest comedy festival, has played a key role in tying the city to stand-up comedy.
So these new comedy clubs walk into Chicago ...
May 10, 2012
One Friday night in Chicago, two stand-up worlds. The first world: In the established, Old Town room, the nationally known Greg Proops fires off his California hipster comedy, heavy on attitude, high on his own intelligence, thick with high-culture words and pop-culture references.
'Change agent' for the Field Museum
April 14, 2012
In choosing controversial former University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere as its likely next chief executive, the Field Museum has opted for a "change agent," according to the man hiring him, and a "gentleman with elbows," according to one of the references the Field received about the scholar and veteran university administrator.
Super Bowl ad winners and losers
February 7, 2012
To the showrooms, America! Automobile advertising dominated Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI, with everything from apocalypse-defying Chevy trucks to a vampire-killing Audi. Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood, Chrysler and General Electric pushed economic recovery and patriotism during the marketing 'n' football extravaganza, while Budweiser and the NFL delivered history lessons. Pop culture references fizzled (Ferris Bueller) and sparkled (Twinkies), while the E-Trade baby and Careerbuilder.com chimps did their usual crowd-pleasing things. Oh, and GoDaddy, once again, delivered its particular version of class.
Those party photos could cost you a job
January 17, 2012
In a controversial twist on the exploding use of online social media, more employers are poring over the websites to weed out job applicants whose posts reveal that they use foul language, take drugs, associate with gangs or have other questionable characteristics. Some employers are even demanding that job candidates disclose their social network user names and passwords up front.
Lifetime's 'Untouchable' throws the book at Drew Peterson
January 16, 2012
It's rare that you can say a piece of television is inevitable. But throughout the media circus following the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, the notion that there would be a Drew Peterson Lifetime movie was about as close to a sure thing as you could get.
Showtime's 'Shameless' hits its wobbly stride
January 4, 2012
It would be easy to write the series "Shameless" off as another cable TV excuse to show nudity, alcoholism, rampant drug use, petty theft, unlicensed day care, home growing, purse emptying, fiscally motivated courting, foster child exploitation, credit card fraud, murder by information omission, wife cheating, ice-cream-truck-based beer selling, Little League bookmaking and behind-the-back name calling.
Oprah begins 'Next Chapter' with Steven Tyler interview, mixed results
January 3, 2012
There is a moment in the first episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter," the new celebrity and spiritual travelogue starring Oprah Winfrey and also her interview subjects, that feels more like something out of "This Is Spinal Tap" than a star debriefing on an ostensible cable network for women.
'Bossypants' an entertaining but safe foray into Fey's life
April 14, 2011
Tina Fey doesn't tell a lot of stories on herself, not really, in her new book "Bossypants," which is actually bits of so many books that it could be placed fairly in Memoirs, Management, Women's studies, Comedy, or that section where they give you book club recommendations. (This assumes that you can find a non-shuttered bookstore.)
Obama's war and bikers vs. doors
March 27, 2011
1. While Obama searches for clarity, we're plunged into another war (March 23). "Now the man who ran for president as an anti-war candidate owns his very own war," says columnist John Kass, referring to the United Nations-sanctioned decision to bomb Libya. Any president taking the country to war, Kass says, needs to demonstrate understanding of the mission he wants to accomplish, to "have complete clarity before you ever give the order to fire."
Chicago's lord of the riff is king of New Yorker
November 11, 2010
To anyone who has encountered New Yorkers' maddeningly internalized sense of superiority about their place of residence, a hubris perhaps best expressed in Saul Steinberg's famous New Yorker magazine cover, "View of the World from 9th Avenue," here is a bit of good news. This also applies to those who take the Chicago-as-Second-City thing a little too personally.
Ticked-off Sue's eyeing you, bud
May 27, 2010
It is, apparently, lonely at the top of the list of the world's most intact Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons.
What statement did the 'American Gothic' knockoff make about public art?
September 30, 2009
It's not a shocker, really, that the figures lifted from one of American art's most famous images and made enormous and three-dimensional have proved so popular.
5 shocking revelations from the criminal complaint against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich
December 10, 2008
The most shocking revelations in the criminal complaint against Gov. Rod Blagojevich (after, that is, the specific criminal charges):

DELL CF878 fit the following OEM Part No.
DELL CF878 for following machine model
DELL Laptop AC Adapter Articles & TipsA new DELL Laptop AC Adapter comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the devices manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the digital camcorder DELL CF878 may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. New DELL CF878 needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity. Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused. Always store a camcorder battery pack in a fully charged staged for storage.When charging the DELL CF878 for the first time the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Remove the camcorder batteries from the device, reinsert it and repeat the charging procedure It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the DELL CF878 every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-Ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run the device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual. If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that DELL CF878 be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place. Invest in a good charger for your camcorder. NiMH batteries should not be charged in a NiCad charger, unless the charger is specifically made for both chemistries. There are cheap chargers and there are expensive chargers. Make sure the charger you get has good reviews and is well made. Chargers with micro-controller chips are usually the best choice of your digital camcorder. Be sure to store your Laptop AC Adapter properly. Do not leave your batteries in a hot car, or in humid conditions. The best storage conditions are a cool, dry place. The refrigerator is fine if you stick in a packet of silica gel with your DELL CF878 in a sealed bag to keep them dry. It is a good idea to charge your NiCad or NiMH batteries fully before use if they have been in storage. How can I maximize the performance of my DELL Laptop AC Adapter?There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your Laptop AC Adapter: Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the Laptop AC Adapter healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect. Keep the DELL Laptop AC Adapter Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device. Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a Laptop AC Adapter has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above. Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the Laptop AC Adapter for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use. Understanding your DELL Battery NeedsWe strive to make you Laptop AC Adapter purchases easy. Since we understand that finding the right batteries for your needs can be overwhelming and confusing at times we developed a Laptop AC Adapter finder tool to help find the right size for the make and model of your equipment.

Really nice phone at a modest price.
a. Price
b. Good build quality
c. Attractive looking
d. Good quality screen with decent screen size (3.5 in 320x480)
e. Froyo (Android 2.2) out of the box
f. Good onscreen keyboard that is comfortable to type on especially in landscape mode.
g. 800 mhz processor that makes the phone pretty responsive.
e. Call/sound quality is pretty nice.
f. 5m camera. Pics seem pretty decent. Also has an led flash.
g. Good sound quality for radio/music.
a. Browser plays Youtube videos but Flash content on other sites does not work. Also, Android Market does not allow downloading Flash Flayer 10.1 saying that the device is not supported.
b. No front facing camera for video calls.
c. Video recording quality pretty poor - 15fps
Overall a good buy for the price. Pretty happy with the Android Froyo experience so far.
I've just bought this phone...its for 15000/- ...same as Flipkart....
and its....AWESOME ! :-)
the 800 Mhz processor is ultimate...too fast...
the main thing that got me hooked is the sceen size...its sharp n big ! :-)
For the technical details, u can refer to flipkart...
I'd suggest u go n get thsi phone...its a catch...
the 5 MP cam is great...the brand Samsung itself is a big thing...
n the processor is just 200 Mhz less than the best smartphones out there.....
all in all...its a GREAT phone and i'm loving it ! :-)
What I like
-- Crisp 3.5in screen
-- Android
-- Very sharp touch response
-- Good preloaded widgets like News and weather, Clocks, Finance, Power control etc.
-- Task Manager, helps to clear up background apps and RAM.
-- Overall built quality, seems worth a lot more!! ;)
-- Its pretty slim!
-- Pack contains 2 back panels - black and white
-- Price, sheer VFM :)
What I don't like
-- 278 MB RAM, probably the weakest link of the chain here
-- Low internal memory, 180MB
-- Camera: No zoom if you are shooting at full res(5 MP)
-- No flash support
-- Flimsy bundled earphones
-- No notification LEDs to inform you of missed calls/messages.
-- No Front facing camera
All in all, I would say a very balanced handset at a very decent price. If you have been waiting for that elusive Android device that ticks most of the boxes and still doesn't burn a hole in your pocket, I would say, this 'could' be it!
I have been waiting for this phone and was disappointed when checked its features with competetive models.
Resolution of ACE and Optimus is same where as Defy is just like 30K phones.
LG optimus one has 512 MB ram (Samsung Ace has 256 MB only).. so opening of the application is almost though LG lags a but due to 600 Mhz processor. Motorola Defy on the other hand has 512 MB ram.
Image quality is better in LG as compared to Samsung. Defy is same as Optimus one (even though Ace/Defy are 5 MP compared to 3.2 MP of Optumus, only drawback, no falsh)
Video quality in Defy is VGA/30 FPS, Optimus: VGA:24 FPS, Ace: QVGA/15 FPS (Shame on ace despite of 800 Mhz processor)
GPU in Defy is better than ACE and Optimus: defy 200 Mhz at filtering rate of 500 MHZ
Looks vise Defy is much better than these phones..Almost whols phone panel is covered by screen..So even though with small form factor..screen is bigger and Of highest resolution.
Apart from these, Defy has 1550 Mah Battery that lasts longer than ACE (Optimus is almost same as Defy).
Defy has corning Gorilla glass (None of te other sets has) and it is dust/waterproof too.
and the best part..it has motoblur UI
Just bought the Samsung Galaxy Ace today, and so far I have a great feeling about it.
Ace has a rock-solid build quality, with the rough textured back panel giving a slip-resistant grip and all the useful buttons laid around the sides thoughtfully (all metal buttons, with covers for the USB port, memory card and camera). There is only one physical key on the front face (which is the HOME key), with 2 soft/virtual keys ACTIVATE/MENU and GOBACK/CANCEL keys (that activate once the phone is unlocked). I would have preferred dedicated physical keys for these actions, as they are useful if the phone or a call ever freezes.
The 16M colors display with gorilla glass is just awesome, and though it is not Super AMOLED, it is still a visual treat. Live Wallpapers are fun and they work. Scrolling, tapping, typing, or pinch zooming with the capacitive touch sensitive screen and viewing videos/photos is a sheer pleasure.
Without even charging the phone for first time, I have been using all its features heavily since past few hours, and it still shows half battery meter. I am sure that if I use it moderate-heavily (without the usual battery-draining data services like GPS & Mobile Office/GPRS always enabled), it will easily last me around 1.5 days average. 1350mAh battery is good, though I would have preferred 1500mAh. Remember, most of all the smartphones these days will drain battery easily due to bigger screensizes, frequently-web-syncing apps, HD music/video playback and 3D games. Nokia phones have better battery, but with lesser features at heavier costs.
Ace is loaded with good apps (though Facebook app needs to be manually searched and installed later). The full-version ThinkFree office suite is just perfect for business users. The phone never feels sluggish, and all the apps load up fast, even the Google Maps and Youtube app. The A-GPS and gravity/gyro sensor are accurate, with almost all the default apps having motion-sense responsiveness, so switching from portrait to landscape or vice versa is almost instantaneous.
I must commend the FM, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS reception. The Ace perfectly found and configured my WPA2-AES protected home WiFi network, and Android 2.2 has support for advanced features like static IP, multiple DNS servers, etc. Ace has much better antennas than all my other portable devices, and I found web surfing to be a breeze. It is almost like browsing on your desktop PC, albeit with a smaller screen.
I didn't find many apps in the Samsung market (I live in India), but I don't care, since the internet with flooded with gray-market apps. First, I need to install an antivirus solution. :-)
The Ace has so far shown me a very stable and pleasurable UI and Android finally seems to have matured with its 2.2 Froyo version (my past experience with Android 1.6 and 2.1 devices hasn't been good, especially with Wifi connectivity and app stability).
Galaxy Ace seems to be Samsung's ace in the Android hole. HTC and other vendors better wake up.

4. Cutting the Pentagon
Within weeks of taking office, Hagel could be forced to implement steep cuts in the Pentagon budget as a result of "sequestration," the automatic spending cuts set up in the deal that ended the 2011 standoff over the federal debt ceiling. At the beginning of the year, Congress voted to put off those cuts for two months.
Panetta has called those across-the-board cuts of about 9.4% "potentially devastating" and urged Congress to find another way to reduce spending. But Hagel has called the defense budget "bloated" and said the Pentagon "needs to be pared down." Look for questions about how Hagel would wield that knife.
5. The Middle East: Iraq, Iran and Israel
This has been the biggest source of criticism for Hagel since Obama picked him to replace Leon Panetta in December and the rawest nerve for the Republicans with whom Hagel broke over the war in Iraq.
Hagel supported the U.S. invasion in 2003. But by 2007, he had come to believe it was a "blunder" and joined Democrats who tried to force the Bush administration to withdraw American troops. "He has long severed his ties with the Republican party," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, told CNN's "State of the Union."
Republicans have accused him of being too cool to Israel, the leading U.S. ally in the Middle East, and too soft on Iran. Hagel has called for direct talks with the Islamic republic, which Western powers suspect is trying to develop a nuclear bomb, and he complained in 2007 that the "Jewish lobby" in Washington scared lawmakers away from supporting a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
But others have rallied around him, including his friend Rabbi Aryeh Azriel of Temple Israel in Omaha, Nebraska. Azriel said Hagel is "definitely a friend of Israel" and "has wonderful, fresh ideas to try to re-engage the discussion about the Middle East."
An Obama administration official working on the senator's confirmation hearing told CNN that Hagel will testify that he believes Iran is a state sponsor of terror; he supports the president's sanctions strategy against Iran and believes all options should be on the table including the military option.

But Rome Superintendent Jeff Bearden said he has no idea at this point if his system can absorb any personnel who might be leaving the Floyd system because of the Reduction In Force plan.
The system looks to hire highly qualified staff, Bearden said, but he is not sure if there will be room in the budget for any new staff for the 2014 fiscal year.
Floyd County Schools Superintendent Jeff McDaniel announced the RIF plan during last week's school board meeting.
According to the plan, $4.1 million would come from the instruction area and $1.2 million would come from school administration salaries.
The rest of the staff cuts include $700,989 in the pupil services sector, $494,876 in general administration, $298,511 in maintenance, $95,989 in transportation and $91,997 in business services.
Teacher contracts for both school systems have to be finalized by the middle of May.
McDaniel said the reason for announcing the plan now was to give those might be released from their jobs time to look for another one. Floyd staff members are expected to be told be the end of the week if they will be cut.
The Rome News-Tribune has filed an open records request for information sent to the principals outlining the cuts.
"I know that this process has been difficult for all of our personnel in our system," McDaniel said in a press release issued on Monday. "It is our hope that making the hard decisions as early as possible this year will help those impacted prepare for the next school year."
Bearden said he is still putting together the Rome City Schools budget for next year. They have not been told how much revenue they will receive from the state, he said, but he is "cautiously optimistic there will be no major cuts."
McDaniel said blamed continuing state cuts over the past 10 years as one of the reasons why there is a need to reduce staff.
The Floyd school system has absorbed state reductions of more than $50 million between 2003 and 2013, according to McDaniel.

PRESTONSBURG — A first-degree assault and sexual abuse case will be among those reviewed by the Floyd County Grand Jury in the coming months.
Two cases were remanded to the Floyd County grand jury this week, following their preliminary hearings.
According to court records, James Brandon Fields, 28, of Prestonsburg, was arrested on New Year's Day after allegedly assaulting a man at the Seasons Inn near Martin. The police report states that the victim of the assault was Jeff Blackburn, son of Floyd County Sheriff John K Blackburn.
Blackburn sustained severe head injuries during the assault.
Fields has been in trouble with the law on several previous occasions, including being found guilty of hindering prosecution in 2011, and second- and third-degree possession of a controlled substance in 2009.
Fields was released from the Floyd County Detention Center on a $7,500 cash bond and is now confined to home incarceration.
Also sent to the grand jury this week was a case against Sammy Meade, 51, of Drift. According to court records Meade is charged with first-degree sexual abuse, first-degree indecent exposure, and distribution of obscene matter to minors.
In the complaint against Meade, which was filed Dec. 18 by Kentucky State Police Trooper Adam Hensley, Meade allegedly "exposed his genitals and forced a minor 8 years old to have sexual contact with the defendant and the defendant showed said minor child sexual graphic images of himself and his girlfriend."
Meade is currently being held in the Floyd County Detention Center on a $25,000 cash bond.

Nantucket Lapreader™
Price: $79.00
Item: FA2885
Lapreader lap desk gets a Nantucket face lift
We've taken two favorite Levenger lap desks — the Lapreader and Nantucket Laptop Lifter — and combined them into one portable, comfortable workstation...adding pen holders and a card holder for good measure. The result is a lap desk that can be used atop a hard surface, such as your kitchen counter or desk, then brought into the living room for use on your lap.
Velcro-attached cushion can be removed and used alone as a firm lap pillow
Removal of the cushion allows the bamboo portion to rest solidly on a desktop or counter
Excellent for propping everything from a cookbook to a textbook, laptop or iPad
In back are 2 pen holders that can accommodate a total of 4 pens
Between the pen holders is a long slot for note pads, envelopes and 3 x 5 cards
If needed, use the included blue canvas booster tube in the lip of this product for a more comfortable browsing height
Bamboo frame
Foam cushion covered in blue cotton canvas
14W x 12 1/2D x 4H; 3 pounds
Corporate pricing available. Please call 800-357-9991.
Nantucket Lapreader
Love it!!
I bought this for my husband, and he loves it. When he is not using it, I steal it away & use it as well. It arrived well packed and in good shape, and has held up well. We love the bamboo, and he likes that the vents keep his laptop cooler.

Broken already
I just got this lap desk a few months ago and 2 of the slats that the computer rests on have already cracked and broken. It doesn't affect how it works, but I expected better for the price.

Love My Lapdesk
I do a lot of work with my MacBookAir in my lap, and although it never feels particularly hot, over time I thought I might be hurting myself. As I feared, the cushion also got warm, so I don't use it, but the desk without the cushion works great and I am no longer aware of the heat. The part that rests on my knees is solid and sturdy. I think with a simpler form, like the Nantucket, I might feel that it was balanced precariously. I don't feel that way at all.

Superb laptop stand
I bought a Lapreader as an adjunct to my newly purchased Apple, 13-inch laptop computer. I was impressed with your stand's design in your catalogue; I am even more impressed with using it in-person! . The stand keeps the laptop at a very comfortable angle. The curled bottom rail works well as a wrist-rest. An added benefit is its function as a dolly. My laptop normally resides inside a drop leaf type desk. The Lapreader acts like an aircraft towing tractor ; I "wheel" the laptop in and out of its "hangar" minimizing disruption of power cords, USB cables, etc.. . My only less than positive criticism concerns the pen and notepad slots in the back vertical member of the stand. The vertical is perpendicular to the desk flat surface. And the pen holes and paper slot are centered and parallel within the vertical. The problem? When fully opened at 135 degrees, the top cover of the laptop PRECLUDES my putting pens in that vertical! By sliding the laptop flush with the left edge of the stand, I can position ONE pen in the right-most pen slot. . Constructive suggestion: you could increase the utility of the stand by changing the ANGLE of the pen holes and paper slot. Now they are perpendicular to the desk surface. Is there a way to bore them PARALLEL to the maximum opened angle of a laptop top cover? Or change the angle of the vertical from perpendicular to acute? . My uses for a laptop require pen and paper. The stand would be much more helpful to me if I could store several pens or pencils and paper in the vertical. Note: the typical ballpoint pen is 5-3/16 inches in length. I like using ballpoints [like your Tru-Grip, one of my favorite pens and the one I keep in the vertical of the Lapreader! Can your designers review the specs, please?

Great value
I found the Lapreader to be a really good value and addition to my home office, particularly for more informal work hours on the couch or in bed. Levenger certainly heard the other customer feedback, as my Lapreader came with a simple addition so you can access the entire laptop--even the bottomost section. Though I actually came back to the site to order a second Lapreader for my daughter, I wanted to also share my satisfaction with the product.

Useful but shoddy
The curved front lip fell off during the first day. Just as well as it completely blocked the front edge functionalities of my laptop. I had to modify the unit significantly before I could use it. The general idea is good but construction is shoddy and it can't have been testing with many laptops.
January 29, 2011
Just what I was looking for!
Really like this little laptop holder. Looks clean, holds my Mac (or iPad), and is light-weight. I'd recommend this to everyone.
October 15, 2010
Nice, but...
I really like my new lapreader, it's light weight and fits my 15" Mac laptop perfectly. However, there is one big design flaw - the 'lip' at the bottom that the laptop fits into comes right up to the edge of my trackpad clicker button, making it hard to click with my thumb. I use a graphics tablet so it's not that big of a deal, but if I didn't, I'd seriously consider sending it back. But you can roll up a cloth like another reviewer suggested. Still, not an elegant solution.
October 3, 2010
Love this product!!
I purchased this product to use with my netbook. My netbook works fairly well with this lapreader. The only issue I have had is that my netbook rests under the lip at the bottom and makes it difficult to use the touchpad as needed. I use a rolled up washcloth wedged into the space under the lip. This works well because it is flexible and creates a ridge my netbook rests in and I am not concerned that is will slide off the surface. However, Levenger could provide a type of insert for those of us who wish to use the lapreader with our netbooks. This could be made out of matching denim. It would add to the function of this piece. Overall I love it and use it everyday.

Almost perfect for the iPad...
I purchased this product because it was pictured as an ideal lap desk for the iPad, which in most respects it is. It is cute, lightweight, comfortable, and a good angle for typing (in fact I'm using it to write this review). However, I think that anyone who buys this lap desk specifically for use with an iPad should be aware that the surface is really too slippery to use without modification. The iPad has a slightly convex back, so it essentially sits on a point, and even in a silicone case it slides and pivots in use on this desk, and quickly slips down underneath the curved ledge. This is probably why the user is supporting it with one hand in the photo! I solved this problem by cutting two short lengths of clear aquarium-type tubing, and squeezing them into either end of the bottom ventilation slat. The iPad can be propped against these little "posts" in landscape mode, and sits quite firmly and squarely in a good position for typing. When turned into portrait orientation, it fits between them. I'm sure that other users will be able to devise methods of making this lap desk work for an iPad, but they should be aware that at this point, adaptations really are required. If Levenger simply added some little non-slip strips between the ventilation slats, or something of that kind, it would help quite a bit in supporting whatever the desk was used for. Otherwise it is a fine product. P.S. I was unable to actually post this review using my iPad because it doesn't allow for selecting the stars indicating overall rating. Not sure why that is, but it would be great if I could! Thanks!

Did We Just Witness The Most Awesome Night In Baseball History?
I'll be honest, regular season baseball isn't my favorite pasttime as a sports fan. I know every game counts (which tonight definitively proved), but it's hard for me to get excited about 1 game out of 162. With so many other sports to choose from, it's difficult for me to invest in regular season baseball games. Without anything of immediate substance on the line throughout the year, having the patience to sit down and watch a baseball game for three hours (five if it's YANKS/SAWX) doesn't interest me. Sure, I appreciate the history of the game and some of the more romantic elements of baseball, but the slow pace of the game and all the inaction doesn't match my sports brain that fits better with other faster moving sports.
And that's why tonight was so amazing to me. Every reservation I have for not wanting to invest in regular season baseball was shattered. There weren't just one, but three games on at the same time that had direct do or die playoff implications. 162 games boiled down to 1 for the Cardinals, Braves, Red Sox, and Rays. Tampa Bay and Boston were tied atop the AL Wild Card race while St. Louis and Atlanta were tied for the NL Wild Card. A month ago it seemed improbable with a combined 17 games separating the Wild Card races. Nevertheless, a wild month of September set up possibly the most awesome night in the 142 year history of Major League Baseball.
September 28th, 2011 was baseball's night to have its own version of March Madness, and it was exhilirating. Memorable. Perhaps even unforgettable. In fact, it may go down as one of the most entertaining nights a sports fan can experience...

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Oakland suffers one of worst conference home losses to South Dakota
ROCHESTER — After surviving a collapse two days earlier, Oakland pressed its luck again Saturday, coming out on the losing end of a conference game against South Dakota at the O'rena, 97-78.
The defeat was Oakland's second-largest conference loss at the O'rena and snapped a 10-game home winning streak for Oakland.
"I'm stunned by that, I didn't see that coming," Oakland coach Greg Kampe said. "They threw a couple punches at us and we went down and never really got back up. I'm very, very surprised by the outcome and the way the game went. I want to give South Dakota a ton of credit.
"We were totally outclassed, outcoached and outeverythinged."
The Golden Grizzlies came within nine points before Kampe was assessed a technical foul after arguing a traveling call against Oakland with 3:16 to play. The Coyotes then closed the game on a 16-6 run.
"It was a call I disagreed with and there had been a few of those," Kampe said. "That's a referee that I have a long history with and I'm shocked he called a technical foul because I didn't say anything to him that warranted or deserved that.
"Did that cost us the game? Sure."
Travis Bader, the nation's leading 3-point shooter, made his first five 3-point shots Saturday before missing his final 10 attempts. He led Oakland with 19 points, but scored just four points in the second half.
"They definitely guarded me more heavily and knew where I was at all times," he said. "I just did a horrible job of letting them get into my head and I was missing shots." Continued...
Drew Valentine followed with 18 points and 11 rebounds for his third double-double of the season, while Duke Mondy added 17 points and Corey Petros contributed 10 points and eight rebounds.
Similar to Thursday's game against Kansas City in which Oakland squandered a 13-point lead late in the first half, the Golden Grizzlies wasted a 14-point advantage Saturday. The Coyotes outscored the Grizzlies, 32-10, over the final 9:40 of the half to take an eight-point halftime lead, 48-40.
"We have to figure this out because it's been the story of our team all year," Valentine said. "If we're going to achieve our mission, we have to turn it around."
Kampe called for an official review with 8:15 remaining and Oakland trailing by 19 points after Valentine appeared to be hit in the head by a South Dakota player. The challenge, which he said would have awarded Oakland two free throws if it was found that Valentine had been elbowed in the head, a flagrant foul, was unsuccessful and cost Oakland a 30-second timeout. Kampe explained the strategy after the game.
"I thought two points was worth a timeout," he said. "That timeout is worthless if we're down 14 points.
"I'm just a coach out there fighting for my team."
The Coyotes shot 58 percent (34 of 59) and 19 of 20 from the free-throw line in the victory. Oakland shot 46 percent (30 of 66) from the field and just 7 of 12 from the free-throw line.
Casey Kasperbauer led six Coyotes in double figures with 23 points followed by Juevol Myles with 17 points, Brandon Bos with 13 points, Trevor Gruis and Jordan Boots with 11 each, and Karim Rowson added 10 points for South Dakota.
The Coyotes (8-12, 4-4 Summit) held a 34-30 rebounding advantage on Oakland (8-13, 3-4), which has won consecutive games just once this season. Both teams committed 18 turnovers.
Oakland continues its four-game homestand hosting IUPUI Thursday at 7 p.m. and Western Illinois visits Saturday. That game tips off at 5 p.m. and can be seen on Fox Sports Detroit. Continued...

ANYWAY, this all makes sense as to why she wasn't loving herself for so long. Maybe this is why she doesnt want to get involved in another relationship, so she can focus on her career.
it is definitely easy to become jealous of your sister when she's shinning in the spotlight, and you're not. but im glad she overcame that hurdle in her life. Made her who she is today.

So that sort of thinking I find very, um..without coming off as rude, but simple…Or immature rather…
Do I agree that it should have a grand grown woman fiasco? Not for me to judge, but I do think that her gesture shows some growth. And I do believe that they both are investing in a common denominator, and that is Mashonda's child, whether they both want to or not. So if putting money into the other person's account, that will potentionally help the upbringing of Mashonda's offspring, I don't see anything wrong with that sort of thinking.
Just my two cents…as ya'll were…

Any change you can tell me how you made your CIRCUS sign?? I have to have one for my little guy's Circus party in May!
- March 22, 2010 at 6:20 PM
- Sandy said...
I'd be happy to share how I made the sign. It's basically a piece of wood from Home Depot, painted, and with paper mache letters added. I bought the letters at JoAnns. We placed the letters on the wood and traced them. We then removed the letters and drilled holes into the wood. We placed the letters back on and added Christmas lights from the back. The holes in the wood and in the backside of the letters were larger than those in the front as the lights needed to go all the way through the wood and into the letter but only the tip of the light showed through the letter. We used hot glue to adhere the letters to the wood and duct tape to hold the lights in place. I wish you were closer as you would be more than welcome to use ours!! Hope you have a great party!

Hi Rinne,
The popcorn containers were from the $1 bin at Target. I just picked up a few every time we went. I actually ended up with way too many because I kept sticking them away in the craft cabinet for months and forgetting about them ! LOL! The toys used as prizes/gifts were from Party America/Party City. They had a large stand with 5 objects for $1. Hope this helps! Have a great party! - May 10, 2010 at 7:48 PM

Hi Sandy! I found this CUTE party while searching for vintage circus ideas and I love it!! You did a great job! I was wondering where you found the little baby elephant with the birthday hat that is on top of the smash cake? I would like to have one like it for my son's 1st birthday!
Thank you!!

Hi SommieWig,
Thanks so much! The baby elephant came from Michael's. They have a selection of heavy and hard plastic animals in bins in the back near the art supplies. I had the lady that created our cake make a little polkadot fondant hat for him. Have a great party!

What a lovely party. I so love the pictures! I can tell that everyone had a fantastic time. That gave me an idea. It would be fun to do a circus themed party complete with well known Sonoma canopy tents, clowns and magicians. I could also invite my friends and families from San Diego. Tent rental providers are definitely in demand on these kind of events.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful family photos! More power to your blog! - September 3, 2010 at 2:29 AM

Hey Sandy! Beautiful Party!! Thank you for posting the instructions on your sign - what a great way to use those letters. One question about that, though - did you use a drill on the paper mache'? Or how did you poke the holes in the paper mache' letters?

I love love love your whole look for the circus party. You are also a amazing photographer. I am throwing my daughter Londyn and circus 1 St bday and am using you as a inspiration. I'm wondering what you did for invitations. Also I can't find the top hat anywhere, I also work for a hat company believe it or not it's adults not kids. If you can help me out I would greatly appreciate. Thanks

Very good idea! It's unbelievably wonderful! I like biscornus myself, but the stitching together of that would put me off! Thanks for posting this.
