Laura Bush Wants Nothing to Do With New Gay Marriage Ad
Earlier this week the Respect for Marriage Coalition, which is co-chaired by the Human Rights Campaign, launched a $1 million media campaign with ads that used footage of Republicans voicing their support for marriage equality. One of those right-wingers is former First Lady Laura Bush.
But it now looks like Bush wants to be removed from the newspaper and online advertising campaign as the Dallas Morning News reports her spokeswoman Anne MacDonald said in a statement on Wednesday that the former first lady "did not approve of her inclusion in this advertisement nor is she associated with the group that made the ad in any way."
"When she became aware of the advertisement last night, we requested that the group remove her from it," MacDonald added.
The new gay marriage ad featured a clip of Bush saying, "When couples are committed to each other and love each other, then they ought to have the same sort of rights that everyone has." The statement was made when she was speaking to Larry King on CNN in 2010.
It may not come as a surprise that Bush wants nothing to do with the campaign as her husband, former President George W. Bush, has opposed gay rights in the past. He did meet with the Log Cabin Republicans, a group for LGBT conservatives however, which was a first for a Republican presidential candidate. While in office, he did not repeal President Clinton's Executive Order banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and did not attempt to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which barred gay service members from openly serving in the military. President Bush has never endorsed marriage equality but was the first Republican president to appoint an openly gay man to serve in his administration - Scott Evertz was hired as director of the Office of National AIDS Policy.
Laura Bush isn't the only conservative in the pro-gay marriage campaign; the ad also shows clips of former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsing marriage equality. President Barack Obama is featured in the ad as well, USA Today reports.
Cheney has supported marriage equality for a while, as his daughter, Mary, is a lesbian and had a daughter with her partner during the 2004 presidential election.

FLEMINGTON, N.J., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- A new national study among 467 Americans revealed that a majority of Americans (69%) believe Andy Pettitte when he testified that he had two conversations with Roger Clemens about "both" players' use of HGH and Roger Clemens use of steroids.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20071204/NYTU133LOGO )
The study was conducted during February 18-19 by HCD Research using its mediacurves.com web site, to obtain Americans' views on comments made by Andy Pettitte during a press conference yesterday in Florida.
Pettitte was one of the players listed in the Mitchell Report. He admitted under a sworn affidavit to a congressional committee that he did use HGH during his baseball career. He also told the committee that on two occasions, he had conversations with Roger Clemens regarding both players use of HGH.
While watching video segments of Pettitte's press conference, participants were asked to indicate their levels of believability by moving their mouse from left to right on a continuum. The responses were recorded in quarter-second intervals and reported in the form of curves.
According to Glenn Kessler, president and CEO, HCD Research, Andy Pettitte's believability levels were compared to Roger Clemens' believability levels from a study conducted last week on mediacurves.com. "The believability levels were measured using a scale of -100 to +100, with -100 indicating not believable at all and +100 indicating completely believable," explained Kessler. "Overall, Clemens received a score of +4 and Pettitte received a score of +24, suggesting that Pettitte was moderately more believable among respondents."
Participants were also asked pre- and post-viewing questions. To view
believability curves and detailed results, go to: http://www.mediacurves.c

The majority of this fluid (almost 30 liters) is located inside the cells. Because of its location, this fluid is named "intracellular" fluid, which is in contrast to all body fluids outside the cells (extra cellular fluid).

For those of you who like to get their fill of BBC dramas and documentaries from the international version of the iPlayer, you may soon be out of luck. BBC has just announced that it will be shutting down its international version which was available in 16 countries, including Canada. According to the Engadget story, auto renewing series subscriptions will end between May 26th and June 26th. British subjects need not worry as this closure only applies to the Global iPlayer and not the version available in the UK.

The latest Marvel property to hit the small screens is Daredevil. The blind lawyer by day and superhero by night action series hit Netflix on April 10.

New Raspberry Pi available
A new version of the credit card sized computer was announced today. Although the Raspberry Pi 2 looks exactly like its predecessors it packs some extra horsepower. The major change is the processor which is a now a 900 MHz quad core loaded with 1 GB of RAM, the previous models had a single core 700 MHz processor with 500 MB of RAM. It was also announced that Microsoft will be making a specialized version of Windows 10 for the pint sized computer. Rounding out the good news is that the price will remain the same at $35 US.
The new model is already up for sale on the Newark site and the Canadian site Buy a Pi is hoping to have it available by February 27.
Netflix to stream The Interview
According to Engadget Netflix will have the controversial film The Interview available for streaming in Canada and the US starting on Saturday January 24. This is just a month after its unconventional release on Christmas Day. Sony has reportedly already made $40 million from its online sales and will release it on Blu-Ray on February 17.
Adware Removal on Mac Computers
More and more people are being infected by Adware lately, especially since its creators have now expanded into the Apple universe. Adware is basically software that gets installed on your computer's browser. In the best case scenario it causes endless popup menus to show up on every page that you open; in the worst case you are unable to browse the internet. This type of malware is often packaged together with other software installers. So if you notice that you are suddenly being bombarded with unwanted advertising and pop windows you were likely infected by software that you recently installed sometimes inadvertently.
Since Adware is not officially malware, most virus removal tools can't detect and remove it. Luckily people have devised ways to remove it. I recently became infected with Downlite adware on a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air and this is my story.
Apple to increase App prices in Canada (update)
As expected the price of apps in the Canadian Apple App Store have increased. Previous apps for 99 cents now cost $1.19 and apps that were $1.99 now cost $2.29.
According to reports on CBC and iPhone in Canada websites, Apple is set to increase prices of its Apps in Canada within the next day. According to Boy Genius Report this price increase will involve the Mac App Store as well. The increase is a result of the recent changes in the Canadian-American exchange rate. Changes are also expected in all EU countries as well as Russia. So get those 99 cent Apps while you can.
Christmas Music 24/7
If just can't get enough Christmas music, there are plenty of ways to satisfy your needs in the digital era.
From your computer, the easiest way to access your holiday favourites would be to find an online radio station. If you have a favourite terrestrial radio station, you should be able to find an online version that lets you listen live. Other stations that are dedicated to playing seasonal music can be found by searching for "Christmas music online", you will find hundreds of streaming stations. Most of the stations are free of charge, although some may require registration. There are all sorts of genres to meet your needs, most play music continuously with only minimal interruptions for advertising. A music service that I find particularly well done is that on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) website (music.cbc.ca). On any computer you can access over 50 streaming stations, including two limited play Christmas channels, Seasonal Favourites and Classical Holiday.
You can access most of these same online stations described above using your smart phone or tablet through the browser although the user interface is much better if you are able to find an App for it. For example, the CBC Music application for iOS makes all of their Radio 1 and Radio 2 stations from across Canada available along with all of their streaming stations. Another application that I find quite good is "TuneIn Radio" which lets you listen to more than 100,000 stations from around the world. You can find dedicated Christmas stations, one of my favourites is Radio Santa Claus from Finland.
Seasonal music is also available through your television if you have a Smart TV or a set top box such as Roku or Apple TV connected to it. Most of these devices have a channel or application that allows access to online radio stations. For example, the Apple TV has a Radio application that provides access to hundreds of streaming stations under a number of genres. You can find Christmas music stations under the Religious category. If you don't have a connected television and get your service through cable or by satellite, most providers have dedicated music channels. I am not talking about Much Music or MTV, but instead channels that play only music with no video, these are usually located in the higher numbers. For example Rogers Cable has approximately 20 music channels provided by Stingray Music, including Holiday Favourites, located on channel 222 and 710 in Ontario, Canada.
So if you're like me and can't get enough Christmas music there are many ways to satisfy your obsession.
Do you have any other suggestions? What are some of your favourite radio stations? Send a comment in below and share your experiences?
Happy Holidays.

Bob Andy
|Bob Andy
|Birth name
|Keith Anderson
|Vocalist, Songwriter
|Associated acts
|The Paragons
Bob Andy CD (born Keith Anderson,[1] 1944) is a Jamaican reggae vocalist and songwriter. He is widely regarded as one of reggae's most influential songwriters.[1]
Bob Andy was one of the founding members of The Paragons, along with Tyrone Evans and Howard Barrett. His first solo hit record in 1966, "I've Got to Go Back Home," was followed by "Desperate Lover," "Feeling Soul", "Unchained," and "Too Experienced", amongst others.[2] He also composed songs for other reggae artists, including "I Don't Want to See You Cry" for Ken Boothe, and "Feel Like Jumping," "Truly," and "Melody Life" for Marcia Griffiths.[2]
He had several hits in the late 1960s, including "Going Home," "Unchained," "Feeling Soul," "My Time," "The Ghetto Stays in the Mind," and "Feel the Feeling".[1] Some of these, and his 1992 hit, "Fire Burning", have come to be regarded as reggae standards and several have been covered several times by other artists.[1]
In the early 1970s, he recorded with Marcia Griffiths as Bob and Marcia, under producer Harry J's tutelage. These included the UK hits "Young, Gifted and Black" and "Pied Piper".[1][3] In 1978, Andy put his music career on hold and concentrated on his career as an actor, starring in the films, Children of Babylon in 1980,[4] and The Mighty Quinn (1989).[1][5]
He relocated to London, where he worked as a producer and recorded with Mad Professor, and later to Miami.[2]
In 1997 he released a new album, Hangin' Tough, produced by Willie Lindo.[1]
Andy toured Africa for the first time in 2005, performing at the Bob Marley 60th birthday concert in Addis Ababa, and while in Ethiopia also sang at the President's Palace and gave benefit concerts for the Twelve Tribes organization at the Rastafari movement settlement at Shashamane.[6]
The Jamaican government conferred the Order of Distinction in the rank of Commander (CD) on Keith "Bob Andy" Anderson in October 2006 for his contributions to the development of Jamaican music.[7]
In March 2015 Andy was mugged on Mona Road in St. Andrew and robbed of JA$50,000 and two cellphones, the assailant slashing his left arm with a knife in the attack.[8]
Michael Prophet cites Andy as his main influence as a singer.[9]

Job Loss: Eat, drink and try to be merry?
This paper examines the impact of job loss from business closings on body mass index (BMI) and alcohol consumption. We improve upon extant literature by using: exogenously determined business closings, a sophisticated estimation approach (finite mixture models) to deal with complex heterogeneity, and national, longitudinal data (Health and Retirement Study). For both alcohol consumption and BMI, we find evidence that individuals who are more likely to respond to job loss by increasing unhealthy behaviors are already in the problematic range for these behaviors before losing their jobs. Thus health effects of job loss could be concentrated among "at risk" individuals.

LONDON, August 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Pharma IQ has just produced the Drug Recalls Industry Outline, where it analyses the challenges and implications of the late stage development failures. Pharma IQ had a quick look back over the last few years to see a timeline of drug failures and recalls at the late stages of development.
'Some of the key time saving strategies and information sources to make these decisions are trial design approaches, imaging techniques, biomarkers, strategic outsourcing and patient recruitment' says Nicola Ambler, Senior Conference Director, Pharma IQ, who is directing the upcoming Innovation in Phase 1 Clinical Development in Milan this September.
The outline analyses the drug withdrawals in the latter stages. In August 2012, Pfizer and J&J announced they were going to stop the development of the Alzheimer's drug, Bapineuzumab. In March 2012 AstraZeneca and Targacept announced that their partnered depression drug - TC-5214 - failed at Phase III. The last two of four late-stage studies failed to meet their primary endpoints, eliminating plans for a comeback after the first two Phase III studies also ended in failure. In March 2011 Sanofi-Aventis' lung cancer drug aflibercept failed to meet its primary endpoint in a phase III trial.
The Drug Recalls Industry Outline can be accessed at http://www.phase1clinicaldevelopment.com/news
The Industry Outline was created as a part of the pre-conference preparation for the 3th Innovation in Phase I Clinical Development Forum taking place 17-19 September, 2012 in Milan.

MOMENTUM Trial Results Presented at the American College of Cardiology
Annual Meeting
CHICAGO, April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Orqis(R) Medical Corporation, a medical products company developing and marketing devices to treat heart failure, announced today that the company's MOMENTUM Trial results were presented during the Late Breaking Clinical Trials session at the annual American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Chicago. The MOMENTUM Trial evaluated the percutaneous Cancion System in patients hospitalized with heart failure.
Barry Greenberg, M.D., Director, Advanced Heart Failure Treatment Program, University of California San Diego Medical Center, and National Principal Investigator for the MOMENTUM Trial, presented, "Efficacy and Safety of Continuous Aortic Flow Augmentation in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: Results of the MOMENTUM Trial."
"While the MOMENTUM Trial did not meet its primary composite efficacy endpoint, MOMENTUM is a landmark study demonstrating that the Cancion System, in combination with conventional medical (drug) treatment, statistically significantly improved cardiac performance compared with drug treatment alone," stated Dr. Greenberg. He continued, "There has been very little progress in identifying effective new approaches for treating patients with decompensated heart failure and the Cancion System provides physicians with a needed new treatment option."
Mr. Ken Charhut, President and CEO, Orqis Medical, stated, "MOMENTUM proved that the Cancion System significantly improves cardiac performance." He continued, "Orqis' unique aortic flow therapy bridges the gap between medical management and more invasive procedures without ever touching the heart." The Cancion System is currently available in markets outside the U.S.

The digital ProteomeChip is Protein Forest's miniaturized chip for the separation of proteins in complex mixtures by both charge and size. Separation by isoelectric point in the first dimension is effectively digitized, avoiding the smearing that often occurs in a linear gradient, whereas the second dimension uses standard electrophoresis. "The greater accuracy of the separation by isoelectric point is the crux of the method, giving rise to greater reproducibility," says CEO Russell Garlick.
Separation through the microchip takes merely minutes, resulting in significantly increased productivity. The sensitivity of the chips also allows the identification of proteins of low abundance and/or unique migration characteristics. Proteins can be quantified, allowing proteomewide expression profiling in one chip format, while a second format is designed for subsequent analysis by mass spectrometry (MS) for identification of unknown proteins.
The digital ProteomeChip package includes analytical software to decode the grayscale image of the silver-stained chips to create a contour map and a 3-D image (see picture). The software allows users to develop internal databases that are compatible with external databases, facilitating the identification of proteins and data exchange.No More Messy Cleanup
Another innovative solution is Proteome Systems' Chemical Inkjet Printer (ChIP). ChIP uses piezoelectric printing technology to dispense minute amounts of reagents onto selected protein spots electroblotted from 2-D gels onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The device allows researchers to skip the cumbersome excision, digestion, extraction, cleanup, and target-spotting steps. After processing, the membrane can be placed directly into the mass spectrometer for peptide analysis. The system can easily lay down a 4x4 reagent grid on a 2mm protein spot, enabling the simultaneous analysis of an individual sample with various enzymes.
Similarly, Eksigent Technologies' NanoLC-2D Proteomics System combines automated 2-D HPLC with precise nanoscale gradients and simple operation, facilitating multidimensional peptide analysis. The NanoLC-2D System uses Eksigent's direct pumping nanoscale microfluidics, providing enhancements in detection sensitivity and reproducibility for LC/MS proteomics studies. It also offers added convenience by automatically running 2-D peptide separations, such as the MudPIT method used for analysis of membrane proteins.

A bipartisan effort is under way to overhaul the nation's immigration system, improve border security and provide a path to citizenship for those here illegally. Stop me if you've heard this one before.
Those of us who have been in Washington for a while certainly have. The plan announced recently by a group of senators dubbed the "Gang of Eight" may be touted as a new and novel approach. But it sounds eerily familiar to the one enacted in 1986.
At that time, greater border security and better enforcement of our laws governing immigration was promised in exchange for granting citizenship to illegal immigrants.
The 1986 law called for ramped-up enforcement of immigration laws and pledged better control of the flow of those here illegally. In return, the nearly 3 million illegal immigrants present in the country at the time received amnesty.
It didn't quite work out that way, however. While the citizenship part came through all right, the security and enforcement part failed to materialize. Today, there are more than 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
It's a familiar tactic. On budget deals, for example, politicians will be assured they'll make deep, dramatic cuts in spending if only they'll agree to tax hikes. They take the bait, the deal passes — and only the tax hikes come through.
It's time for conservatives to stop playing Charlie Brown to the left's Lucy, who — despite her rosy promises — keeps pulling the football away.
Does that mean do nothing on immigration? Far from it. Immigration reform is long overdue. We need to get smart about it.
Now is the perfect time to do it, when there's no actual legislation on the table. The Gang of Eight plan, after all, isn't a bill. It's a set of four general principles that almost can't help but lead to the same kind of deal that was crafted in '86.
Take the fourth one: "Establish an improved process for admitting future workers to serve our nation's work force needs, while simultaneously protecting all workers." That's the kind of line that may work well in a speech, but the devil's in the details. What actual solutions would result from that?
We don't need any more "comprehensive" approaches that result in bills so long no lawmaker actually reads them. Fixing our immigration system requires a more thoughtful, step-by-step process, one that tackles each problem in turn.
Among the steps Congress should take:
* Enhance border security efforts. By using technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles and sophisticated cameras and sensors, the U.S. Border Patrol can better monitor the border and halt illegal crossings.
* Take the needs of the economy into account. We need a targeted temporary worker program that would respond to market and workplace demands, and supply a rotating, temporary workforce.
* Reinvigorate interior enforcement measures. This means measures and programs such as Social Security No-Match, random workplace inspections, checks of I-9 forms and E-Verify. These help to discourage the use of illegal labor. They also send the message that we take the enforcement of immigration laws seriously.

I am looking to string together a multi-day ride from Cimarron to Taos and then Taos to Tierra Amarilla (could be one trip or two trips). Has anyone ridden between these places and has info on routes or trails? I have ridden South Boundary Trail from Angel Fire to Taos but wondering what else might be out there. Open to swinging up to Questa to be in the National Forest land as well.
Routes need not be singletrack (though that is ideal). I am good with forest roads or old logging roads. But I am hoping to get off the pavement as much as possible.
Thanks in advance!

U.S. Congressman Cantor: I've Been Threatened Because I'm Jewish
Cantor says he was 'directly threatened' when someone shot at the window of his office in Virginia.
U.S. Congressman Eric Cantor said Thursday that he believed many of the threats leveled against him since he assumed office may be in part to the fact that he is Jewish.
"There's been a lot of reports of threats and the potential for violence against members of Congress," said Cantor, who is the only Jewish Republican Congressman and serves as the minority whip in the House.
"Let me be clear, I do not condone violence. We condemn violence - period," he said. "I've received threats since I assumed elected office not only because of my position but also because I am Jewish. I have never blamed anyone in this body for that - period. Any suggestion that a leader in this body would incite threats or acts against other members is akin to my endangering myself, my wife and my children."
Cantor said that recently he was "directly threatened" on Monday, when someone shot a bullet through the window of his campaign office in Richmond, Virginia.
"I?ve received threatening emails," he continued. "But I will not release them, because I believe such actions will only encourage more to be sent. It is reckless to use these incidents as media vehicles for political gain.|
"Security threats against members of Congress is not a partisan issue and they should never be treated that way. To use such threats as political weapons is reprehensible," he added.
"I am not naive enough to think that letters, statements or press releases will prevent anyone disturbed enough to commit violence from acting," said Cantor. "But I do know that such letters, statements, and press releases can very easily fan the flames. By ratcheting up the rhetoric, some will only inflame these situations to dangerous levels."
With the reconciliation bill sent back to the House of Representative for the final vote and the controversial healthcare reform marking its first days after President Barack Obama's signature as law of the land, Congress democrats are expressing concerns over their personal security - and the security of their families.
Some of these concerns were made public following Wednesday?s meeting of the Democratic Caucus with representatives of the FBI and the Capitol police.
Some lawmakers received threats by fax, phone or email; a brick was thrown through the window of the Democratic Party?s Cincinnati office; while the House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) told reporters that: "The incidents of threats whether in person or through telephones or through other communication devices, have given great concern to members, for the safety of themselves and their families."
House Minority Leader John Boehner issued a statement saying: "I know many Americans are angry over this health care bill and that Washington Democrats just aren't listening, but, as I?ve said, violence and threats are unacceptable. That?s not the American way. We need to take that anger and channel it into positive change. Call your congressman, go out and register people to vote, go volunteer on a political campaign, make your voice heard - but let?s do it the right way.?
Cantor, meanwhile, called on the Democrats to stop using those threats as a "political weapon".

I have 2- and 3-reel Patterson tanks and 1, 2 and 3-reel Nikon tanks. I almost always use the Patterson reels because they are easier to fill and empty and because I find the reels easier to load, particularly for 120. My major complaint is that the lids are hard to get on tightly; I probably lose all of the time saved pouring in the developer while trying to get the lid on all the way.
Regarding heat transfer, I assumed that plastic, as a better insulator, would keep the temperature more even: no heat increase from handling the tank during agitation, although that would be very minor.

Almost three quarters of disposed electrical household appliances in Spain are processed out of the Integrated Waste Management System (SIG). A study at the University of Salamanca exposes how many manufacturers are not registered in the established waste management system and avoid payment.
According to the European directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment, manufacturers of such products should recycle the waste they generate during their activity until reaching an annual level of 4 kg per inhabitant. However, in Spain the majority of unused equipment is managed under unauthorised systems. This is the case according to the revelations of the study by researchers at the University of Salamanca, which was published in the 'Journal of cleaner production'.
"It is estimated that only 1000 out of 10 000 manufacturers are registered in Spain. This implies a payment evasion of at least 15 million euros," as explained to SINC by Dolores Queiruga, current researcher in the Business and Economics Department of the University of La Rioja.
In 2010, Spaniards generated 652 million kilograms of this waste or, in other words, 13.86 kg per person. Out of this amount, just 2.55 kg were collected and processed correctly under the "integrated management systems" (SIG). SIG consists of a collective model that manufacturers can use to manage their waste as well as waste management on an individual level.
In Spain there are currently seven SIGs, which are a collection of foundations that bring together companies from the electronics sector: ECOLEC, ECOTIC, ECOLUM, AMBILAMP, ECO-RAEEs, ECOASIMELEC and ECOFIMATICA.
The study analyses the evolution and stages of development for the treatment of this type of waste, starting from the first drafts of the European directive regulating electronic waste management to the current situation.
As for large electrical appliances for example, it is estimated that more than 70

Here's part 3 of my LG 620g review. To read previous parts, check out the following links:
The 620g is currently available only as a Straight Talk device, though it might make an appearance on Net10 at a later time. For now, you can check out more details or buy the phone at StraightTalk.com.
The 620g can be connected to a computer a couple of different ways, and I've found very few limitations in the connections. I have been able to transfer pictures, ringtones, mp3 files, videos, contacts, and even application files both by bluetooth and USB cable. Further, you can also use a removable microSD card to transfer files between the 620g and other devices.
I tried briefly to connect the phone for use as a USB modem, without success. When this model is plugged into a computer via USB, the user is presented with two options for the connection – mass storage, or USB modem. The mass storage modem, of course, allows for files to be transferred to or from the phone.
But when I selected "USB modem," my computer began searching for an appropriate driver, which it never found. I poked around a few different sites on the web looking for a driver, but still couldn't get the setup to work. Either way, I'm not too confident that the phone would work as a modem, since Straight Talk has previously been pretty careful about locking down options like that. And even if it did work, the connection would be very slow due to the GPRS connection offered on this device.
I had no problems with the bluetooth audio connection on the LG 620g either. As always, I skipped testing the phone with GPS units and navigation systems since I don't have access to either of those. Based on previous experience with these phones, however, I think it's a safe bet that the bluetooth connection will work for audio transmission and probably call answering and ending, but probably not for voice-activated dialing or any other advance services.
I also don't know whether the mp3 player will play through a stereo bluetooth headset. Looking at the supported bluetooth profiles on the phone, I can see that it supports Advanced Audio Distribution (A2DP), which indicates it can transmit stereo audio over bluetooth. However, I don't see any option in the mp3 player to change the audio output to bluetooth instead of wired headphones or the built-in speaker. This was the case even when the phone was paired with a bluetooth headset. The only headsets I have are mono, so that could be the problem. So I guess the answer there is simply that I don't know whether the mp3 player can play through a bluetooth headset.
The LG 620g camera can take pictures at a resolution of up to 1.3 megapixels (1280 x 960). Other supported resolutions include VGA (640 x 480) and 320 x 240. Videos can also be recorded, but only at 176 x 144 resolution.
The camera offers the usual assortment of options such as super fine, fine, and normal quality settings; 2x zoom (but not at the highest quality settings); white balance and brightness manual adjustment; night mode; self timer; choice of several color settings such as sepia or black and white; and multi-shot mode.
Here are a couple sample photos and a sample video, all taken on the highest quality settings.
MP3 player
Right off the bat, I have a significant complaint with the mp3 player: the phone requires a proprietary headset (or possibly an adapter if you can find one). Unlike the Samsung r355c, which has a standard headset jack on it, the headset connector on this LG 620g is a microUSB port. That means that you'll probably have to spend more money on accessories in order to listen to music. Of course you could use the built-in speaker, but that doesn't produce good sound quality. And like I mentioned previously, I don't believe that bluetooth is going to work for stereo audio. I ended up buying a headset on Amazon for around $10.
Beyond that complaint, the performance of the mp3 player has been alright. Audio quality is acceptable, but not good, through the headphones I bought. I can't be sure whether the problem is the headphones or the device itself, but I suspect it's a combination. The sounds just aren't as sharp as I would like, even compared to my iPod and standard Apple headphones, which aren't the highest quality for music playback.
On the plus side, there are a handful of preset "equalizer" options that actually do change the sound somewhat, if only minimally. The playlist function is also more user friendly than on previous Straight Talk phones. It definitely is far from perfect, as it takes a while to set up playlists especially if you have a lot of music on your phone. But once you have songs added to a playlist, you can then change the order within the playlist – something that is not possible, to my knowledge, with the Samsung mp3 player phones from Straight Talk. I also like the fact that the headset includes a button to start and stop playback right on the cord, eliminating the need to pull out the phone to pause music.
To sum up the mp3 player – it's a nice feature to have, and it's definitely handy to have a few songs on a microSD card for occasional use. But to take advantage of it, you'll need special headphones. And if you already have a separate mp3 player you like, you're not going to want to ditch that separate device for this phone, because the organization and audio quality on just about any other stand-alone music player will greatly surpass what's available on this phone.
That's all for now, next week I'll be back to discuss some of the other features and to wrap it all up, including my final conclusion on the LG 620g review.
For now, you can check out more details or buy the phone at StraightTalk.com.
