Nokia Lumia 920's Camera - A Second Look
One of the key focal points of the Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone is the 8.7 megapixel camera with Pureview technology. Nokia ventured into uncharted territory with the 41 megapixel Pureview camera on the Nokia 808 and we waited with much anticipation to get our hands on the lower resolution camera that was fitted to the Lumia 920.
We saw plenty of post production samples of how this camera shines from the optical stabilization handling a ride on a remote control car to low-light demo we witnessed at the New York launch event. The Lumia 920 has the potential to take our Windows Phone cameras where they've never been before. While the pre-release demos and samples were impressive, we needed to get our hands on the Lumia 920 and see for ourselves how well the 920 performed.
After taking the Lumia 920's camera out for a test drive over the past few days it is an impressive camera. Low-light performance is remarkable but the camera is hindered by a few in-camera settings. Settings that leave images slightly soft. Nothing to make you scream and the softness is easily corrected with post-processing software. We feel that this softness can easily be fixed with a firmware update to allow the Lumia 920 to reach its full potential.
While there is room for improvement, the Lumia 920's camera is still impressive and it remains a key attraction for the Windows Phone.
The Nokia Lumia 920's camera is optically stabilized and uses a backlit sensor (BSI). Both features make the 920 shine in low light. While other Windows Phone cameras rely on digital stabilization (a software solution), the 920 relies on optical stabilization (mechanical solution). The camera housing is suspended and compensates for minor movements while the photo or video is being captured.
In low light situations, the camera uses a slower shutter speed. Try as you can, on slow shutter speeds you're likely to move the camera ever so slightly and the optical stabilization keeps the camera steady. Granted the OS won't let you do cart wheels and still take great photos but slight movements, such as what breathing may generate, are handled nicely.
The other part of the equation that allows the 920 to work great in low light is the BSI sensor. The design of the sensor pulls in more light. In doing so, the camera won't have to dial down the shutter speed so much which lends some assistance to the OS system. In a nutshell, the 920 is well suited for indoor, low light photography.
While Nokia put a lot of effort in the design of the 920's camera to tackle low light situations, they fell short on the user interface. Mainly the limited number of options/settings. The Nokia 920's settings may be the most lacking I've seen on a Windows Phone camera.
You have the ability to tweak the scenes, ISO, exposure value/compensation, white balance, aspect ratio, and turn the focus assist light on or off. Gone are the sharpness, saturation, contrast, metering modes and image size adjustments. It would have been nice to have seen more control over the camera settings on the 920, similar to what we find on the Lumia 900. Granted, not everyone will miss the greater level of control, but I'd rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them.
Image quality is good but at times, as Dan points out in the Lumia 920's main review, images can be soft. This isn't uncharted territory for Nokia. Remember the Lumia 900's camera was an under achiever until Nokia released a firmware update that corrected a handful of settings such as ISO, color and white balance as well as sharpening. Nokia hit the nail on the head with the Lumia 920's low-light performance they just hit things slightly off-center with regards to image sharpness.
This all should be fixable with a firmware update and in the meantime, you can use Nokia's Creative Studio or another third party photo editing software to fine tune the image with only minor adjustments needed. It really shouldn't take much to correct things in-camera and improve the 920's overall performance.
Lumia 920 photo edited with Nokia's Creative Studio software
However, while editing photos is second nature to me and isn't a bother, others may not feel the same way. The 920 should give users a better "straight from the camera" image without the need for post-processing. Image quality is good but with a few in-camera tweaks, the 920 would reach its full potential. Hopefully we'll see a fix sooner than later.
Nokia's Creative Studio
Low light situations is where the 920 can really shine. It won't let you capture images blanketed in total darkness. However, when the only lighting you have is a porch light, available light through a window or street lights, the 920 will utilize the OS and BSI sensor to pull in enough photons to capture images that will make you go "wow". There is a degree of softness with the night shots that is more noticeable with people pictures than scenic shots. Post-process sharpening will help but there's a point where some softness is unavoidable when shooting at slow shutter speeds.
The first photo was taken at night, the second in a garage workshop using only available light from two windows and the third at night two street lights illuminating the parking lot.
Low-light samples from the Nokia Lumia 920
The Nokia Lumia 920 has a 4x digital zoom feature. Zooming in and out is done by pinching at the screen (much like you would do to zoom into a web page). While I still prefer my foot zoom to digital zoom, image quality isn't too bad.
Nokia Lumia 920's Digital Zoom
Macro or close-up shots also were quite good. The Lumia 920 will let you focus about eight inches away from your subjects. This will come in handy for flowers, knick-knacks, and other smaller objects that are photograph worthy. But as with other shots, macro images just need to be a hair sharper.
With regards to video capture, the 920 performs nicely both from the rear and front facing camera. Video quality is respectable and the OS helps keep things steady. When you walk and shoot video, there's a bit of bounce to your step. The 920's OS will just about eliminate that level of bounce and keep the footage steady. The optical stabilization may not completely fix the image while jumping up and down, it does minimize the impact (as noted towards the end of the video sample).
Overall, the Lumia 920's camera is the best Windows Phone camera I've handled. While I do wish Nokia had given us more controls in the settings, image quality is respectable. Low light photography is the camera's strength and Nokia is aware of the sharpness issues. Hopefully a firmware update won't be too far away and we'll see the 920's performance become better balanced for all lighting conditions. These issues do not make the 920's camera bad but keeps it from reaching its full potential.
Nokia has done a very nice job of building a fantastic camera for the Lumia 920. The optical stabilization, BSI sensor, and Carl Zeiss 28mm lens creates a rather nice foundation for the camera. Even with the problems with softness, the Nokia Lumia 920 takes quality photos.
I'm not about to sell my Canon DSLR but I'm very comfortable using the 920 for family pictures, spur of the moment shots or any other casual photography settings.
Now if we could only get a mechanical shutter....

I take ALOT of pictures and this weekend, I have been snapping away. I would say I took over 300. Kids, outside, inside,low light.
I'd say that I had to delete less than 5 for blurriness or bad quality.. Deleted plenty just because the kids looked away or something random. As far as impression of the camera from and average user.. I am more than satisfied with this camera, the phone and the OS..
jerrynomenon says:
I tend to delete 1/2 or more pics for bad quality on my iPhone... Terrific
Chill510 says:
I agree...im just an average/occasional camera user and too me its perfectly fine. Its definitely the best camera on any windows phone and definitely on par with other high end smartphones.
On a side note...the build quality on this phone is one of the best, if not the best....that's where the weight comes from.
WinFan1 says:
thats awesome
RandomNinjaAtk says:
Video is private and can't be viewed! But still a good read!
unstoppablekem says:
I can view it
dinchy87 says:
I think the lack of selecting where to measure light (centered, all or spot) is the biggest problem. And here is an example, you stand on your balcony and want to shoot a picture of your family from inside so you see the sky behind. With the settings now i think the people would be impossible to see or the sky would be overblown. But you can not control it if you dont have spot measure. Thats a big problem and i as a photographer know what i'm speaking of.
sdreamer says:
Think you can remedy this by using tap to focus, it seems to work that way for the 900 anyways, but then the problem starts to lean if you just want focus and different brightness control.
ItsIllak says:
Surely you're thinking of HDR rather than metering...? Besides, doesn't the 920 have a "half button" press and centre weighted? Just target whichever one you want to shoot, half-press, reframe, shoot.. Same as photography used to be.
for less extreme situations where the lighting of all subjects is within the dynamic range, I guess I see your point for having multi-point metering, but as a photographer you can certainly overcome the limitation...
uopjo6 says:
Tap to focus. But if you're looking for something more sophisticated you should just snap with your DSLR.
cedarlog says:
impressive first picture is my favorite
cedarlog says:
i mean house photo is my favorite
TrentTech says:
I'm very much looking forward to getting my Lumia920 due to the camera. I don't particularly care that it's not quite as sharp as the iPhone5 or GS3's camera given the low-light & optical image stabilisation on it.
Whenever I take pictures on my Omnia 7 I always end up taking the pictures about 4 or 5 times due to blur or having to adjust settings for not-perfect light conditions, which makes it tiresome for static shots and utterly useless for one off "hey, that's a cool thing happening right at this moment" shots.
From what I've seen of the Lumia 920's camera it lives up to everything Nokia has said, with the stabilisation and low-light features working perfectly. They never suggested it would be a revolutionary quality for perfect condition shots like some people seem to be expecting but it certainly looks well above average, just not above the top-end competitors. Surely above average shots in perfect phone-cam conditions + amazing low-light shots + best stabilisation tech on the market = overall best camera on the market? The difference between the iPhone 5's & GS3's low-light shots compared to the 920's is far far greater than the difference between the 920's perfect-light shots compared to the others.
Sandro1893 says:
I totally agree with you....and sooner Nokia will upgrade even the sharpens issue...love l920....ill get you soon!!!
dalsmavsfan says:
Haven't had the chance to take alot of pictures. Did shot a little video and it looks great. I bought this phone for the camera.
ustudio says:
my 900 is like night and day after the update so if its anything like that the 920 is gonna be the best in day light to, cant wait to get mine, still hoping for a nokia tablet also.
ejlee072006 says:
Wow...i hate to say this but pocket camera are gone!! My lumia 900 is the best camera I've ever had in a phone even my 710 camera was acceptable...you can't even tell on Facebook...I'm still skipping the 920
Sandro1893 says:
Then n8 with 12megapixel even better, go back to that phone then...come on this camera is stunning, day-light will be sharp soon even though its already amazing....
Xsever says:
How did you guys get the Color Balance, Vibrance, Brightness and Clarity options in Creative Suite?
On the 920, I only get the presets in Creative Suite: Amber, Opal, etc.....
No manual fixes!
jusatin says:
You swipe to right, there you have the adjust (I think you are now on the "fix" page) (or the other way around).
At least that's how it is in the 800 Creative Suite.
Xsever says:
The interface is different on the 920. I just figured it out.
You pick one of the presets, then make sure the phone is in Landscape, then you tap on Edit.
Daniel Rubino says:
After choosing your filter (or none) you need to hit the Pencil at the bottom. There you can fix everything else...
emergenic says:
The L920 camera has alot of potential as a backup pocketable camera for those of us that don't always want to carry a DSLR around...Nokia just needs to push out that firmware update to address the minor issues, that are holding its hardware from performing optimally.
After some minor tweaks my L920 will easily surpass the optical performance of the iPhone5/Samsung SG3.
addicusbrown says:
I may be a complete buffoon, but I don't see a damn thing wrong with the images. If by softness you guys mean it looks realistic without seemingly made to be on a poster I am okay with that. Nothing wrong with an extremely, crisp, sharp image, but I don't see thus phones camera being sub par.
AgentTheGreat says:
You can't really see the softness in photos above because they are resized. The two that have been compared - before and after using Creative Studio - should show you the difference.
enahs555 says:
I do not like how the Lumia 920 review is staying above everyting else in the new site design/layout.
I get it is the promoted article, but when I visit the page I have to actually scroll down to see if there is new contect, very inconvenient. And I often miss new contect because of it. I thought the site had not even been updated in days until I scrolled down one time by accident...!
nizzon says:
Have to agree.
freestaterocker says:
Use the app. It's pretty awesome! Would be better with in-post pics & clickable links in the forums, *hint-looking at you, Jay* but still...
wpguy says:
Even on a workstation the featured article images take up too much room IMO. I wish they were smaller.
But even more so, I wish the new site was more mobile-friendly. If only the text were larger. (Yes, I have tried the app. But it won't let me post, and I can't login. Do I have to pay to login?)
Bernard Wei says:
You'll be prompted to login as soon as you try to post. I had some some login issues too, just delete and reinstall fixes that.
AgentTheGreat says:
DAMN that black 920 looks awesome on the Surface keyboard! How could anyone go for any other color?! :P
myjota says:
I want to say: dslr camera now can rest

But the video is stuttering. :(

MikadoWu says:
MyDaughter and I took our L920s to a wedding in Cocco Beach this weekend. The Groom and most of his family were using iphone 5's. Our pictures outshined theirs in almost every occaision. Even had 1 say he was taking his phone back.....
I am not sure what I am missing. Before you ask, my daughter is in Photograghy 2 Class in College.
AgentTheGreat says:
Did you take photos indoors or outdoors? Of course the 920 crushes the competition indoors.
PhilR8 says:
I was a very harsh critic of the Lumia 900's camera. I received the 920 this weekend and was VERY pleased to discover that the picture quality is excellent. Night and day when compared to the 900.
lubbalots says:
So far, the iPhone is touted as the best camera phone out their. I'd love to see a shoot to set the records straight. Lisa from mobiltechreview was not impressed with the camera stated the L920 is not the best camera phone out their and that it holds its own against the GS3, note 2, and iPhone. What I'm I to think hearing as such from a professional tech reviewer as her?
Residing says:
Not sure why the iP5 is touted as the best, as from my findings, the Nokia 808 is considered THE best cameraphone on the market.
lubbalots says:
...and why did I spell "their" wrong?
freestaterocker says:
And for that matter, why did you say "What I'm I to think"? ;)
lubbalots says:
Meaning kind of stressing to hear something like that. Pureview suppose to be best of best not something that holds its own.
majortom1981 says:
I have an iPhone 4s(camera I is pretty much the same as the iPhone 5) and the Nokia 920. I honestly think the 920 takes better pictures. I think their is an anti Microsoft bias in a lot of these reviews.
ejlee072006 says:
I agree..people tend to forget its a freaking phone...omg the iphone4/s is comparable to my lumia 900..
david126 says:
As my wife said "you are now the family photographer" she has an iPhone 5 ;)
freestaterocker says:
The video is impressive... But what's up with the sound?!
unstoppablekem says:
The Lumia 920 has 6X zoom.
aeronaught says:
I think I've passed that building on 280 before on that first night shot picture....
DrSaiko says:
As someone who likes to hangout in clubs and lounge also coming from a Dell venue pro, all I have to say is that I'm finally the one making fun of my friend's "crappy" IPhone pictures .:) I'm more than happy with the phone's camera, which is great for my lifestyle.
Ezence01 says:
I haven't received my Lumia 920 yet as it's still processing since Thursday :(, but I have a question. Can't one use a third party camera app that will provide more features/adjustments? I just ask because on my Android devices I am able to do it.
reynan santos says:
PhotoFunia is one of the best third party apps for the Lumia 920.. it has more than 300 filter, also, it's amazing coz u can also edit your pictures to be on a magazine or what not. Well, Nokia Lumia 920 is the best thing Nokia had ever made.
kgocameraman says:
I shoot for a living, it was raining on my way to work and I just put the 920 in the car mount and hit record. The results beat out everything else that I have ever used in this situation ( driving at night , or driving all together ) . Better than any gopro ( way more stable ) , iPhone or even my L900. I imported the footage into my editing system and it was the opening shot for the morning news. This is the first time that I felt good using cell phone video because you could not tell at all. Can't wait for the next time my 920 will make air. As far a the still pictures go, I really did not shoot that many so far but the results have been stunning.
ymcpa says:
You should put a little "shot from a Nokia Lumia 920" tag on your videos so the viewers will know which phone to buy.
Unicornageddon says:
I get a feeling that Nokia hunkered down on the low light abilities in time for launch, and decided they'd get the rest with updates.
Unicornageddon says:
Further, coming from a DVP, I think I'll hardly notice any shortcomings. Especially since I wrecked the already awful camera on this thing trying to clean the lens. Now everything looks like a dream sequence. I suspect Dell made the lens from plastic, and I got a bit overzealous trying to remove a couple black splotches which formed on the lens.
GoodThings2Life says:
I don't know what the fuss is about ... if the only complaint is "soft" photos, I'd say shut the hell up and use a DSLR if you're that obsessive. I've been taking lots of random shots this weekend, and I'm very pleased with the results.
I haven't seen a single photo sample yet that has made me scream, "OMG, I'm taking this thing back." The few "bad color" samples I've seen online can easily be tweaked by firmware and not being an anal-retentive douchebag.
Mattyh95 says:
Can you please do a photo comparrison between the 8x and Nokia? Just because I want the 920 but for me the 8x is cheaper, I know they are both exceptional cameras just id love to see what you guys think. Cheers matt
ct_gabriel says:
Except the low light photos, the ones taken during the day... are they any better than the ones took with Lumia 900? Can anybody make a comparison between Lumia 900's camera and Lumia 920's?
Joshua Legare says:
I picked up the 920 over the weekend for my wife. I have admittedly been unable to put the camera through a proper amount of testing and enjoyed this thurough review!
One thing I have noticed which I have not seen addressed is regarding the low light shots. While the camera does perform exceedingly well in low light conditions by illuminating the subject without being a true flash, there doesn't seem to be a way to disable the hardware from relying on the super bright LED light when the low light is exactly WHY you want to take a photo.
For Example: After we picked up the 920 my wife and I headed out to Salt Lick (I popular BBQ Restaraunt in the Austin Area) which has some quite romantic (romance at a BBQ spot?! Go with me on this!) settings in the courtyard. In the view finder the ambient lighting was enough to set the romantic tone of the photo and subjects could be seen clearly enough without support from the low light support. I turned the flash off though I couldn't find a way to dissable the low light response of turning the LED on for illuminating in the low light conditions. This resulted in a shot that looked more like a photo with a flash (washed out and a little harsh) and blurred due to the slower shutterspeed. I couldn't get the photo to come out! The scene by itself was darker but as a said illuminated enough that I wish I could have taken a photo without the low light assist.
I hope any firmware updates consider this nuanced in between type condition for photos and includes a way to disable the lowlight assist if needed.
Anyone else have this issue or found a work around?
CyCl0n3 says:
Finger over LED.
HartfordCT says:
You can turn off the Focus Assist Light. Just go to the settings while in camera.
sloppy standard says:
I have the same problem, and I've turned off focus assist, but haven't tried the finger over LED trick.
sethrdx says:
I really like how good snapshots look when taken with an iPhone, but I realize it is due to artificial color saturation processing. Granted, colors may be more "realistic" with other cameras, but I think iPhone pics are generally quite flattering to the subjects. I'm concerned that the colors may be muted with my soon-to-arrive Lumia 920. If this is the case, is there a way to permanently tweak the settings manually for better snapshots?
Also, how long did it take for Nokia to update the Lumia 900 for improved camera performance?
Andreas H says:
Anyone care to enlighten me on ISO-settings. What should i use and when? Thank's!
sloppy standard says:
I guess I'm too used to my "real" camera; I've had my lumia 920 for a few weeks, and the only pictures that really come out nice are outdoor daytime/nighttime landscape pictures (at dusk or with moon light) and indoor natural light (daytime/early evening) pics.
With any REAL lowlight scenes that have any artificial light (city/urban scenes, infoor night scenes) Lumia tries to over compensate and they pics are HORRIBLY washed out. I deleted about 80% of my christmas family photos

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I purchased this gate to be placed at the top of our stairs. It latches to a banister so the angle mounting and versatility of installation was essential. It works as described and blends in well with the design and trim of our home. It is relatively lightweight as well. Good product.

Nice looking, sturdy - good purchase
By Mom of 2
from Missouri
Purchased 3 of the cherry gates -- we're pleased with how they look. Easy to install and seems sturdy so far. We like that it fits a small doorway and also larger space at stairs. Only downside - 1 of the gates had a broken piece on arrival.
Cheaply made

Not Worth the Price
By Concerned Mom
from NJ
This gate did not seem sturdy enough to use at the top of a staircase. It was definitely not worth the cost.
So disappointed
By Mom who really wanted a good gate
from Boston, MA
I am so disappointed with this gate. I bought it based on using what I thought was the same gate at a friend's house. Our friends bought their gate 5 years ago, and clearly this gate was constructed differently back then. While our gate and theirs look exactly the same, the two gates could not be more different. Theirs is heavy, well constructed, and sturdy. Ours is lightweight, shoddy, and has completely fallen apart after just 4 months of regular use. I'm just so bummed.

Wish there is an alternative
By Grandma
from OK
This product requires nailing to the rail post or wall. Safety gate is only a temporary safety measure. Nail marks on rail post or wall will be permanent. I was disappointed and returned the product.
Very Satisfied
By Jenn
from Elmira, NY
The gate works perfectly with stairs. The instructions were a little difficult to understand and it was tricky to find a place to mount it but once it was installed, it is very easy to use, sturdy, and looks nice.
Works but needed some tweeking
By Sara
from Wisconsin
This didn't work initially with our staircase, one side is a flat wall, other side banister. Where it lined up on the banisters, the banister was curved and my husband was unable to attach it. However this was solved by purchasing a matching oak board from a local DIY store. He then screwed the flat board to the side of the banister and attached the gate latches to that instead. Works great that way and doesn't look that bad with the extra board in there either (I thought it might). It is easily opened/closed one handed once you get everything lined up as it should be. Our daughter is only crawling now however I may be a little nervous when she starts to lean on it as the middle bows out when you push on it, (we have the wooden oak one) and it seems as if the wooden slats could break if there was enough force on them. Makes me wish we would have gotten a metal one.I would still recommend this gate though, just something for you to consider before purchasing.
By disappointed Grandma
from Virginia
The construction is very flimsy. This was a gift intended to use to gate off doorways, I would hate to see it at the top of a stairway. The return-shipping policy made it so that a gift cost the recipient of that gift, close to the cost of one of the gates to return!
10 years later....
By Stacy
from Philadelphia, Pennnsylvania
We first bought this gate 10 years ago when our older child was just starting to crawl. Though our kids are now 8 & 10 years old, we still use the gate at the bottom of the stairs to keep our dog from going upstairs unsupervised. After 10 years of continuous use, the gate has finally seen its last day. I was thrilled to find that One Step Ahead still has this in stock, as I will be buying a replacement. This is a fanstatic gate that considering how long we've used it, is WELL worth the money spent. I absolutely recommend it!!!
By Babes and wife
from Florida Keys
My husband spent over 2 hours on our Saturday night trying to install this gate. He has a degree from an Ivy League College, so intelligence is not the issue. He had to install and uninstall the gate 3 times and it still does not function. It takes 2 hands and 2 people to get the gate in the latches, so I can't even comprehend doing it one handed while holding our daughter.We have already drilled holes in our custom banister, so we are trying to make this work. We are going to have to call in a handyman to see if the gate can be tweaked to work easily.very frustrated and downright angry to be honest.
Great gate
By Grandpapa
from Manhattan, KS
Instillation was straightforward. Our crawling grandson has accepted its presence with no problems. Gate is simple to remove when not in use.

By Mannik

I was excited to get a gate that would fit our stairway. You will need someone who is "handy" to install this gate as it is not very user friendly with instructions. The hardware is plastic and once installed it is pretty flimsy. Hoping my toddler doesn't lean in to the gate, as I don't know if it will hold up.
Poor Instructions and difficult to Insta
By Jim
from Blacksburg, VA
Purchased because of angle feature. Very poor instructions and difficult to install. It is the poorest quality latch of the 3 different gates I have installed.

Ready, Set, Home: Lower Your Heating and Cooling Costs
By: Arkansas Today
Updated: November 29, 2012
Almost everyone has had to deal with soaring energy costs, especially when it comes to cooling or heating your home, today the Ready Set Home crew is going to show you how to hang on to some of your hard earned money and make your home more comfortable at the same time.
Whenever you're blowing insulation in your attic, you don't want to blow insulation into the eaves that overhang the house. You still need a well-ventilated attic. Even in the wintertime you still need the air circulation to prohibit any unwanted moisture.
We bought baffles for less than $1.50 at our local home center. What you want to do with these is place them so that you're covering up the overhang. Just use a staple gun to attach this to the ceiling. Be sure there's still enough space so that you can get good circulation up there.
As you start blowing, start with the furthest distance away from you and then work it towards yourself.
Now if you were to hire someone to come out and do this project for you, you would spend easy $500 or more, depending on the size of your attic. You can do it yourself for roughly $100. So you can see the savings, plus you're going to see savings every month on your utility bills.

The Griffin Woogie. Your kids will never give your iPhone back again.
Griffin Technology today announced a partnership with ScrollMotion, makers of the Iceberg Reader. The result? The new Griffin Woogie.
The Woogie is a soft and huggable iPhone enclosure that is part stuffed animal and part protective case. It has two built-in speakers1 to play with Iceberg Kids eBooks, music, videos, and more. The Woogie's six appendages are made from soft, non-toxic fabrics and allow for easy carrying and tuck underneath to prop your iPhone up for handsfree viewing.
If the bright screen and fun apps weren't enough to keep your kids fixated on your iPhone, stuffing it inside this fuzzy green asterisk from Teletubbyland will certainly ensure that your phone will soon be indelibly regarded as theirs. But at least it will keep them quiet.
The Woogie, $19.99 USD, is now available from Griffin's website. The free Woogie Sesame Street Sampler is available in the App Store. Additional apps and content from Iceberg Kids are available in the App Store.

A Western Photographer in Hama, Syria
Moises Saman says that his trip into Syria with Anthony Shadid was one of the more memorable he's taken.

Historically, Hama is known as a very conservative and religious city in Syria. Was that his impression too?
When will we see any reporting from Anthony Shadid in print? He has great credibility in the Arab World.
1-"The most exciting moment was joining this protest " : he saw the honesty and peacefulness of the protestors .
2- "I think they took us with a mixture of curiosity and a little bit of suspicion" : this is what living under dictatorships do to people .They were raised under the ideology of the regime which taught them that there is an American conspiracy everywhere .
3- "This definitely has elements that Tunisia and even Egypt didn't have. This is a regime that still wants to hold on to power and they are killing their own people" :but Syria wont end up like Libya, the Syrian revolution can only be compared to the French revolution .
two things Mt saman didn't cover :
1- Many people are saying that President Obama ( unlike Madam Clinton and ambassador Ford ) supports dictatorships in the area . They say he thinks that Arabs are not worthy of democracy .
2 – Most people resent the Russian regime's support to the Syrian regime and they will boycott Russian and Chinese goods just like the Libyans and Egyptians have started to do .
This is why wrote an article at Diplomatic Aspect "The history of alliance between the Russian and Syrian regimes" which describes the deep reasons behind the Russian support to the ailing regime as I see them
Diplomatic Aspects: "The History of Alliance Between the Russian and Syrian Regimes"
As for Sarah's comment (below) ... You have got to be kidding!

An American health care pioneer will receive the Roman Catholic Church's highest honor this weekend.
On Sunday, Mother Marianne Cope -- along with another North American, Kateri Tekakwitha -- will become a saint, a designation so difficult to achieve that only 10 other Americans have been canonized before her.
Saint Marianne Cope, as she will soon be known, may be best remembered for her work with patients suffering from Hansen's disease -- or lepers, as they were called at the time.
In Hawaii in the late 1800s, people were so afraid of the disease that even those with simple, unrelated rashes were often banished to the remote island of Molokai. They remained at this leper colony for the rest of their lives, far away from family and friends. Their children became orphans.
An island priest who was worried about this health crisis wrote to nearly 50 different religious congregations asking for help. But the work was perceived as so dangerous that only Mother Marianne responded. Before she made her long journey to the remote islands, though, she radically changed medical practices on the mainland.
'A wonderful hospital administrator'
Mother Marianne opened and operated some of the first general hospitals in the United States, St. Elizabeth Hospital in Utica, New York, in 1866 and St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center in Syracuse, New York, in 1869. Both are still in operation today.
At that time, hospitals had a bad reputation. Doctors had limited medical knowledge and even less understanding of how diseases spread. Most patients who turned to hospitals for help never left them alive.
Mother Marianne started to change that, first by instituting cleanliness standards. The simple act of hand-washing between patient visits cut the spread of disease significantly. Word of her facility's success spread quickly, according to Sister Patricia Burkard.
"She was a wonderful hospital administrator and really started the patients' rights movement and truly changed how people cared for the sick," said Burkard, who until recently held the same office Mother Marianne did as head of her religious congregation, now known as the Sisters of Saint Francis of the Neumann Communities.

Ashe County Schools Superintendent Dr. Travis L. Reeves announced his resignation on Thursday, Nov. 29.
He has been named the superintendent of the Surry County Schools and is tentatively scheduled to start in his new position on Jan. 1, 2013.
"I have truly enjoyed living and working in Ashe County," said Dr. Reeves.
"My family and I have made many friends and created meaningful relationships. I will miss Ashe County and will always carry the pride that is demonstrated here in my heart. The decision to resign from Ashe County and join Surry County is based on moving my family closer to grandparents and immediate family who live and work in Surry County," said Reeves in a press release supplied to the Post.
Prior to serving as Ashe County's superintendent, Reeves was a coach at Mount Airy High School and a teacher at Mount Airy Junior High and Mount Airy Middle School. He had also been an assistant principal of Mount Airy Middle School and principal of Jones Intermediate School.
During his tenure here, the Ashe County School system has seen an increase in student achievement scores, an increase in the high school graduation rate and a decrease in the dropout rate. The system has also worked together to implement a new strategic plan and transition to a new curriculum.
"As a school system, we have pulled together to challenge our students to soar. I encourage you to continue these initiatives and work together to build on the positive momentum that has been created," said Reeves.
Ashe Board of Education Chairman Charles King expressed appreciation for Reeves' efforts to improve the system.
"We appreciate the dedication, hard work and leadership shown by Dr. Reeves. He has led the school system through a tough economic time which required difficult decisions to be made. Throughout this time, he has guided us in making choices that were best for the students of Ashe County. We wish Dr. Reeves success in his new position," said King.
Reeves is a graduate of Alleghany County High School and earned his undergraduate degree from Radford University.
Surry County Board Chairman Earlie Coe said 24 candidates were interviewed for the post. He and vice chairman Brian Gates both said Reeve's reputation and experience helped the board reach its decision.
"His five years experience as a superintendent definitely helped with the decision," said Coe. "He is well thought of as an educational leader throughout the state. He also had very good references. The people he had down were very strong on his qualifications."
Reeves is married to the former Leslie Conner of Mount Airy. The couple have two children, Weatherly, age 8, and Ridge age 4.
Details about the search to replace Reeves were not included in the press release.
The Ashe Board of Education will meet at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3, 2012.

It is just way too hot to be putting a blanket over my daughters carseat when we go out. Since the visor all carseats come with are only a little help I have to.

My names Amy Shepherd, i'm 16 as of next Friday:), i've been homeschooled since november 2010, it was due to bullying. I have a passion to be a teacher one day but i'm not a huge lover of the curriculum, and i'm a huge John Holt fan, so i came up with this idea of a 'free school', the names little mites:). I signed up for this sight to promote my new blog, it's a blog for the purpose of hearing your thoughts on the idea. I do hope you can have a look at it and maybe even comment:)- it would be much appreciated!
That's about it really- not much of an exciting person lol!
Welcome and congratulations!
Welcome to RUN, Amy!! Nice site! the use of the link as a tag doesn't work so i'm fixing it to make it easier for people to get to your blog.

Protesters marching on Egypt's presidential palace Tuesday night broke through barbed wire around the building and hurled chairs and rocks at retreating police.
Officers lobbed tear gas back at them.
After initial clashes, police drew behind fences and protests were peaceful for several hours.
More violence broke out at the headquarters of the Freedom and Justice Party in Menia, south of Cairo. At least 19 protesters were injured, according to Mahmoud Amin, who is in charge of ambulance operations outside the palace.
The Freedom and Justice Party -- an Islamist political group that has links to the Muslim Brotherhood -- is the party of President Mohamed Morsy.
Party head Dr. Hussein Sultan said the front of the headquarters is damaged, and at least one protester fired a shot in the air.
Egypt's Health Ministry said at least 50 ambulances had been dispatched to locations around Cairo, including 20 to the presidential palace. Hospitals were placed on high alert in anticipation of injured protesters, the ministry said.
Many in Egypt believe a new draft constitution in the country, which will be put to a popular vote on December 15, is unfair in its wording, and is an attempt by Morsy to grab more power.
Morsy was not at the palace when the protesters descended, his office said. He was out meeting with government officials, they said.
The protests cap a day of silent protest by media organizations opposing the country's new draft constitution and an edict Morsy issued nearly two weeks ago to expand his powers.

Mine looks similar the color E is folding over at the beginning and appears larger than the second yarn. This is my first square to measure 10 inches, while using size 9 needles on all.
annscottca wrote:I've gotten this far on Clue 3 but when I changed colour and followed the pattern for the decreasing rows, my loops started appearing on the opposite side. Is it me or should we just knit one row after changing colour instead of knitting two rows?
flobee wrote::knit: waiting to see a photo real soon. I've gotten three quarters of the way on my first square and what I'm unsure of is that the second half is totally different than the first - is that right?
karenarp wrote:I am not finished as you can see! But I am having a lot more fun making this square than any of the other ones so far and I wanted to show off how much I finished in just over an hours work. Mind you, that was learning what was wanted of me. I love how we are building on previous skills as we go along, doesn't feel overwhelming this way.
Can you tell how off my lighting is? Same square pictured, just different sides and they look like two different colours!
I replaced my previous photos with my half way progress photos.
Didn't take as long to get that much more done than the first bit, just over another hour. I figure the whole thing will take me about 4-5 hours. And just to be clear, we have to make 8 identical ones eh?
My finished square is more rectangle. My first side is way big compared to my second side. Should I try using smaller needles to do the first half?
I am so glad that someone else has had that experience with the first side being larger (or more loosely knit in my case) than the second side. Just finished my first square for this week and it is also measuring 1inch larger than other squares. Gauge was on point so I am not sure what to do. Really really don't want to frog. I am still behind onfirst weeks squares. (Got week two's done though!)
