Description: In this stunning debut, author Scott Lynch delivers the wonderfully thrilling tale of an audacious criminal and his band of confidence tricksters. Set in a fantastic city pulsing with the lives of decadent nobles and daring thieves, here is a story of adventure, loyalty, and survival that is one part Robin Hood, one part "Ocean's Eleven," and entirely enthralling.... An orphan's life is harsh-and often short-in the island city of Camorr, built on the ruins of a mysterious alien race. But born with a quick wit and a gift for thieving, Locke Lamora has dodged both death and slavery, only to fall into the hands of an eyeless priest known as Chains-a man who is neither blind nor a priest. A con artist of extraordinary talent, Chains passes his skills on to his carefully selected "family" of orphans-a group known as the Gentlemen Bastards. Under his tutelage, Locke grows to lead the Bastards, delightedly pulling off one outrageous confidence game after another. Soon he is infamous as the Thorn of Camorr, and no wealthy noble is safe from his sting. Passing themselves off as petty thieves, the brilliant Locke and his tightly knit band of light-fingered brothers have fooled even the criminal underworld's most feared ruler, Capa Barsavi. But there is someone in the shadows more powerful-and more ambitious-than Locke has yet imagined. Known as the Gray King, he is slowly killing Capa Barsavi's most trusted men-and using Locke as a pawn in his plot to take control of Camorr's underworld. With a bloody coup under way threatening to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the Gray King at his own brutal game-or die trying....

By Capt. Rick Murphy
Yamaha Pro Staff
Any time you go boating, you should always have a contingency plan in case something goes wrong or you have mechanical trouble while on the water. Start by filing a float plan or at least notifying one or two people of where you plan to fish or boat and when you expect to be back, so that if you do have a problem someone will know if you don't return.
The thing to remember is that outboard motors are mechanical, and while they're extremely reliable, they do suffer breakdowns and can also experience mechanical issues as a result of operator error. Quite often, these breakdowns on the water can be remedied by a simple or quick fix that will enable you to get back to port safely where a Yamaha Certified Marine Mechanic can service the outboard. But even the simplest problems can't be solved unless you're prepared, which is why I carry a back-up box with specific parts and tools whenever I'm on the water.
One of the most common issues with outboards is overheating, which is often the result of a blocked tell-tale, the small hole on the side or back of the engine that sprays water when the engine is running. That spray is part of the engine's cooling system, and if the tell-tale gets blocked by dirt or grit, the engine can't effectively cool down and may overheat. If your regulator-rectifier is water-cooled, as most are, you'll be putting that in jeopardy of failing, too. If the tell-tale isn't spraying water, you may have a bad impeller or water pump, but often it's because the nozzle to the tell-tale is blocked by dirt or caked mud. Insects are famous for trying to make a nest in the hole and blocking it with caked dirt or other organic matter, but often the water intake will pull in sand or mud that the water pressure from the Tell-Tale cannot clear.
I always keep a three-foot section of 100-pound monofilament fishing line in my back-up box for just that reason. In a pinch, you can use a piece of single strand wire to poke in the hole and clear it of debris, but I don't like to use wire because it's not as effective at reaming out the mud or dirt as the thicker monofilament. Single strand is so small in diameter that it usually just makes a small hole in the blockage, but it doesn't clean it out, and there's always the possibility that the wire will accidentally puncture the internal hose and cause more problems.
What you'll find is that 100 pound monofilament is almost the same diameter as the tell-tale port and the internal hose, so when you push it into the hole, it clears out the entire blockage. I like to cut it at an angle with pliers so that you have a sharp, pointy end for penetrating the blockage, and a mashed, barblike end, which cleans out any mud or sand or grit when you pull the monofilament out of the tube.
I also carry a small scrub brush in my back-up kit for cleaning out the mesh screen or grate that's over the lower unit water intake port. That area often gets clogged by vegetation or small shell particles and the brush will clean them off the screen or push them all the way through so that they are open and can pull new water into the cooling system.
There's always a tool kit on my boat, but it's not a full-blown set of tools because I have limited storage space. Instead, I keep a very generic set of tools that over time I've found I commonly need while on the water. If space isn't a concern, I'd suggest you carry a full set of metric wrenches and ratchets.
The one thing you need in your tool kit is a set of 9-inch channel locks, which are adjustable pliers that can also lock into place if you need them to hold on to or torque on a nut or bolt. In a pinch you can use them as a pair of vice grips or a clamp to hold things together, so channel locks have a lot of uses.
You'll also want a multi-kit screwdriver—one that is magnetized, so that you can't accidentally drop a screw overboard or in the engine catch pan. These kits come with different sizes of Phillips, standard (flathead), star and hexagonal inserts so you have one tool that does the work of 10.
Instead of carrying a full set of wrenches or ratchets, I carry an adjustable wrench, which doesn't discriminate over metric or standard and in an emergency will fit every size nut or bolt. It adjusts perfectly to the nut or bolt you need to remove. You may round off a corner on the bolt, but that can be replaced when you get back home.
Needlenose pliers are another one of those task-specific tools that you seem to always need, and I like to address several needs at once by having a needlenose multi-tool instead of just a set of pliers. They can get into tight places and they usually have a set of cutters on them which are back-ups for the set of dykes that are also in the kit specifically for cutting and trimming everything from wires to hoses and tie-wraps. There's also a set of scissors on the multi-tool for trimming and a knife in case you run over a piece of rope and have to cut it out of the lower unit.
Even before the addition of 10% Ethanol became standard in our gasoline, I've always had an extra Yamaha Fuel and Water Separator on the boat at all times because you can get bad fuel with water in it or particles in the bottom of the tank at the gas station that will clog the filter and keep the outboard from running. You'll also want to have a filter wrench on board because even though the filter is hand-tightened, it can easily get over torqued or corroded into place and be difficult to get off by hand.
Keep in mind is that it's better to be proactive with fuel issues than reactive, and you can do that by regularly adding Yamaha Ring Free Plus Fuel Additive and Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer Plus to your fuel. These products will clean out the dirt and grit that gets into your motor system, but also stabilize the gas in your fuel system. The key to not having fuel issues is to treat the fuel before issues arise, but if you do run into a problem, you need the ability to change out your Yamaha Fuel and Water Separator, so always carry a back-up.
Two items that I used to carry in my back-up kit that you might still want to consider are extra spark plugs and an extra fuel bulb. Since I've been running four-stroke outboards, I've stopped carrying these items because I have confidence that they won't be an issue. Spark plug issues were more often related to mixing oil and fuel by hand, so they don't foul as often, and because I use fuel treatments in my gas tank, I don't run into problems with my fuel bulb decaying, although they can still get punctured or leak from normal wear and tear.
If I do get a puncture in the fuel bulb or there's ever a hose issue, I have a roll of Rescue Tape™ in my back-up kit, which is a tape that forms a chemical bond with itself and adheres when you stretch it and overlap it. It can be used for high-pressure hoses and hydraulic hoses, even if they're covered with fluid or oil because the tape doesn't use glue to adhere.
When I'm fishing tournaments, I'm often running my boat in unfamiliar waters, so I carry an extra prop and a complete set of attachment hardware. The prop is easy enough to change out on land, but when you do it on the water under extreme weather conditions, it's easy to drop the Cotter pin, nut or a washer in the water, and with the extra assembly I have the part on hand to replace it.
As a back-up, I also carry a large magnet in my kit, which I can use to retrieve everything from nuts and bolts or car keys should I drop them in the water. You can find these magnets at any science or hobby store. I can tie the magnet off to my fishing rod and fish for my lost item. You can laugh, but it works and it beats diving in and feeling around with your hands and feet in muddy or deep water.
Lastly, I carry an entire spare engine lanyard with kill switch key. A kill switch key can break or get pulled out and lost, and it's an inexpensive item that will get you back home if you ever have that issue.
I keep all my tools in large individual zipper lock plastic bags, and then keep all those in a waterproof plastic container. The container goes in my front storage box along with all my flares, life jackets and other required safety equipment so that the entire storage area is dedicated to safety on the water. When anyone new steps on board, I show them the storage area and explain what's inside in case we have some problem that I can't handle alone. That way, we go into our day thinking about safety and knowing if there's ever an issue, we can usually address it while on the water.

Question about Bassett Cottage 3-in-1 Crib
I do not have any instructions to convert our Bassett sleigh crib into a double bed. Help!
We bought the crib at the baby's birth. We bought the siderails a year later, and now we're ready to make it a double bed. The siderails came out of the box without hardware or instructions. It appears that there needs to be slots for the hooks to go in that are on the siderails, however the existing crib does not show where these should go.

Looks great man! Gotta love the Dodge!
I love everything except the mpg! LOL! Oh well!
Looks good. If the Grasshopper is the only machine you carry why have it in the front instead of over the axels on the trailer?
I was kind of curious about that myself; definitely not trying to tell you how to load your rig but if that is all you are hauling you'd definitely be better off loading it over the trailer axles.
Nice set up by the way.
Take Care,
how do you like the grasshopper?
I like the reflective tapes. I have always been meaning to do something like this, but never have.
that dodge looks like its hurtin. backend is squatin.
Its not squatin, the truck is on a hill, the trailer is on a flat. Nice equipment btw.
Love the color on that Dodge.

Devil Review
September 17, 2010 by Post Team
Devil Review, Memories Review Diablo actions do not give us much. Everything is entirely too quiet for long. But only when Ramirez (Jacob Vargas) attempts to explain the inexplicable jam drop your toast on the floor, which means "devil" at the height of the promise he had been entertaining the audience crying in the previous movie trailer. pretentious words like "From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan" comes to the screen, you could hear the screams all the way into the lobby of the theater. Was so widespread that it was viral videos mocking the idea that the companions of their films since.
Honestly, not a weak actor in the bunch. The performance was exceptional for me as Detective Chris Bowden Messina. Unlike most tough guys, shows "pending" by the police, da Messina a more moderate interpretation could be much higher. Another element that can be seen with an original soundtrack. Although sometimes comes off as a homage to Hitchcck (especially evident in the opening sequence), most of the time is used more subtly push the pace of the film. Instead of focusing on the blood and violence that seems inevitable in the elevator, Dowdle has created a film that focuses on the characters.
Our superstitious narrator gives us the memory of "my mother used to tell stories," stories about how "the devil walks the Earth." And a sure sign of Satan is about to torment the damned before reaching the hell is suicide. Therefore, this shock, when someone plunges through a top floor window clutching a rosary preparing to elevateSo elevators often do come into the waiting room a strong attack, the representations of meaning, and we forget the power of a good narrative. Diablo reminds us that it is not necessary in 3-D or buckets of blood for a long time to cool off in the theater.

People traveled along it.
Pilgrims often used the trade routes to travel to a religious shrine or site.
India was famous for there temples became wealthy from visiting pilgrims. For 500 years, India was not united.
Once again, small kingdoms fought
with another and made life miserable
for their subjects. Then, in A.D. 320,
one prince in the Ganges River valley
grew more powerful than others. The Gupta grew wealthy from trading salt,cloth,and iron. Indain merchants also traded with China and with kindooms in southeast Asia and the mediterranean. Gupta rulers controlled much of the trade.they also owned gold and silver mines & large estates. created jobs for people in India
People & cities grew prosperous Trade Routes The Gupta Empire Questions 1.How did the Gupta empire become wealthy? Choose to rule from the old capital of the Mauryan empire-Pataliputra. He founded the gupta dynasty. Guptas ruledfor about 200 years. Gupta rulers had one advantage overthe earlier Mauryan kings.

My 12 year old (with celiac disease) was in heaven with all of the good choices available. We enjoyed everything.
I can't comment on service, as we have only been getting takeout, now more frequently since my teen was diagnosed a few months ago & have been highly impressed with the selection & quality they offer. Everything has been delicious so far. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, they recently added even MORE items to their considerably extensive GF menu. Highly recommend, w/o hesitation.
Nice to be able to get all of the menu items I used to love gluten free without compromising on taste. Service can be a challenge in the restaurant.
Amazing service, and great Gf menu with options that GF people have been dearly missing!
Very good gluten free menu variety . GF labeled duck sauce GF beer and list of GF mixed drinks . Service / quality very good .

Seperate gluten free menu. Delicious asian food. Staff confirmed meal gluten free when they beought the plates out. would definitely recommend.
They take gf seriously!! Great gf menu with plenty of options! Pad Thai is delish!! One if my favorites spots.
What fun! I have not enjoyed this kind of Chinese comfort food in 25 years. The service was outstanding. This is a treat I look forward to repeating.
They have a nice GF menu, I liked the GF Pad Thai. The servers were on top of things including gf soy sauce, great option to have!
really great selection and good quality for a great price! server came back to see if I had used the soy sauce and when I said no because I wasn't sure, he explained that everything they bring to the table for sauces are gluten free. I will be back!
wow, amazing and they have the largest variety, I was so pleased...
Good food. Good service. Good price. So many options :)
Gluten-free menu with many choices. Good service. Tasty food.

The most interesting part of Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter 2008-09 show (apart from the hats, the clothes and the bags) is probably the towering platform wedge pumps that looks really deadly. And one of these block-like foot accessory is the Lipstick Pump that was one of the Fall 2008 collection's main runway look.
Lipstick Pump features a platform that forms a wedge, then sliced to form a heel. Its most recognizable detail is its wings that sprouts from the pump's sides and out and about showing an intricate design and silhouette reminiscent of the prêt-à-porter collection. The shoe is crafted entirely from Calf leather with the outsole made from leather. Lipstick Pump may look intimidating with its towering height but actually, it's only 16 cm or 6.29 in high (the platform measures 6 cm or 2.36 in). Its available at Louis Vuitton for approximately $1,300.

Dear Readers,
In two weeks from now I will find myself in the wonderful country of Sweden, partaking in a trunk show for J.FitzPatrick Footwear at the great shop of Skoaktiebolaget in the Humlegardsgatan district of Stockholm. For all those native to that area (or even if you are not but live nearby) it would be a pleasure to meet you in person and present to you the shoes that I have worked hard to realize. And even if you are not interested in the shoes, it would be a pleasure to meet nonetheless so I hope to see you there!
Much like that of my trunk show in Paris that I did last October, I will be bringing with me not only samples and trial fit shoes for you to try on and thus place orders, but also will have 3 select models that you can purchase and leave with while there, should you be so interested. The models that will be on offer to take with you are the ones presented below:
Justin, "The Shoe Snob"

Being A Bethany House Blogger Book Reviewer:Making My Granny Proud
Although my Granny was proud of my writing, especially the Christmas poem I wrote for her about our family gatherings, she was always encouraging me to write my own Christian fiction particularly a love story.
*Hope to find a picture of Granny reading. She was an avid one for sure! Keeping librarians Like Miss Bonnie, Elaine Price, and Mrs. Debbie busy trying to keep her in "her stories."
Right now I only have the picture of her reading in bed in my heart as well as have to smile always when thinking how she denied the rumor she slept through the tornado on top of her book instead she insisted was instead wide awake and right there in bed reading.
In fact, the last time I visited with her at her house, she gave me a book of hers, one of her favorites she said, to read with the continued encouragement that I should really think about writing one of these Christian fiction "love story" books.
To this day I have still not had the courage to read this last book from our last visit.
I think maybe I am afraid I will try to find an underlying message in this book for Granny. But I know in reality, she probably just wanted me to enjoy this favorite author of hers. We shared books often throughout the years.
But thinking it is time, way past time, to enjoy this book like she had wanted, as nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Are there any other Grace Livingston Hill book lovers out there?
Although I am far from writing my own inspirational love story like Granny wanted, I do plan to read many of them to enjoy as well as investigate this style of writing as a writing goal this year.
Just like I read many different stories and editions before submitting stories to Chicken Soup For the Soul.
Still so surprised I was blessed to have ten stories
published in this bestselling series.
I hope to write more Chicken Soup For the Soul stories
but truly have been encouraged and yes challenged by other authors
as well as family and friends (bless you bunches)
to be brave and venture out in different directions
and explore writing my own book.
I do love inspirational devotion books as well fiction so I thought maybe I should explore those books Granny so wanted me to investigate.
I was thrilled recently when Bethany House Publishers offered me the chance to do book reviews on my blog. Payment is a free book and this pretty fancy symbol for my blog.
I will be sharing my first Bethany Books Backroad Book Review
on this beautiful book this Saturday on my blog.
I plan to share my review also to the website Goodreads
as I hope to learn more about this online site
so I can post book reviews so others can see
what books I enjoy and I can see their reading suggestions as well.
But the best part of all, is that I get to give my free copy
to our lovely librarian Misty Gold Ashcraft
who will be able to take my review copy and circulate at the Providence Branch Library. So glad others will get a chance to read these Christian fiction and nonfiction books too.
Thank you for your time as I share my new writing adventures. Please feel free to share your favorite Christian fiction and non fiction writers and explore the website Goodreads with me!
I hope to enjoy many books as well as make
my Granny proud too!

Very nice art direction. Dark vision on this one. I like
hate to burst the bubble but the execution - style, color, direction is the same as Iron Kid - Wood . Link-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkb0kDacjs .

The idea is seen in motion format many a times... they have only adapted it in print.
idea is the same. no reason for not doing something fresh. it'll be boring if everyone start readapting stuff from all over.
I like this - and the repurposing of Iron Kid's themes here, and Radiohead's and the White Stripes in the other executions, it's a great move. An elaborate cut-and-paste approach maybe, but who doesn't scrap-book their heroes in some way?

Raisin Sauce for Ham
READY IN: 15mins
Recipe by MemphisMommy
A very easy -to- put- together, delicious sauce my mom made every time we had a Easter ham. It seems an odd combination of ingredients, but it taste fantastic!
Top Review by cookinmom76
I made this as an alternative to a usual pineapple sauce for ham, since my 5 yr. old is off pineapple for the moment. I loved the smell of it cooking, and it was a very yummy sauce.

The only operator present in Ethiopia is Ethio Telecom, also known as Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation (ETC) and owned by the govenement. It's the only telecommunications services provider in Ethiopia at all, providing internet and telephone services on landlines and mobiles. It was managed 2010-12 by France Telecom, but is now back under the full control of the government.
State of service Edit
Penetration of mobile phones is low in the country: only about 4.5% of Ethiopian population own one. The mobile service is unreliable and often interrupted. The system is frequently out of work or overloaded, callers using both the landlines and mobile network are unable to connect, the situation is made worse by inclement weather. Frequent power outages and damages to fibreoptic cables add to the problems. But there is no open discussion or anyone admitting that the coverage and service is below par. Furthermore, there is no competition to the only operator as the govenment wants to retain the monopoly of Ethio Telecom to generate funds to build a railway line to Djibouti.
Coverage Edit
Coverage is very low outside the capital and provincial towns. 3G services started in 2008 only in major towns so far. The target of the govenment has been almost reached in 2015: 95% of the population are now in a 5 km radius to the next available phone line (being either a landline or within mobile coverage). Nevertheless, the maximum distance that people from rural communities have to travel for being able to use telecom services decreased from 30 km to 5 km within the last 10 years. This is in contrast to 725 base stations built in the capital Addis Abeba alone.
VoIP Edit
Use of VoIP services such as Skype and Google Talk was prohibited by telecommunications legislation in 2002. Personal use of these services was again legalized in 2012. But Ethio Telecom has revealed in a statement in 2016 that the company will implement a tool allowing it to charge for VoIP over-the-top (OTT) services such as Viber and WhatsApp. It's still unknown when and how this is to be done.
Registration Edit
For a prepaid SIM card you need to be registered. As a visitor you need a photocopy of the face site of your passport, one or two passport sized photographs and to fill out their Customer Application Form (CAF) which can take a while.
In practice as of summer 2016, Ethio Telecom stores, at least in Addis, didn't require a passport copy or photos. They will take a picture of you at the store and scan your passport.
Ethio Telecom is introducing Equipment Identity Registration (EIR) to control the importation of untaxed mobile handsets. This technology allows the registration of a mobile phone's IMEI once a SIM card is inserted. This information will be stored in a database which would allow Ethio Telecom and customs and revenues authorities to track and block or lock untaxed or stolen devices. This may lead to problems for travellers as they have usually not 'imported' their devices.
Censorship Edit
The Ethiopian government through Ethio Telecom imposes nationwide, politically motivated internet filtering. Any attempts to circumvent Ethio Telecom surveillance and censorship of the internet can be considered as a criminal offense carrying a prison sentence of up to 15 years. However, most blocked sites are run by those Ethiopians abroad, who are highly critical of the government.
Since 2016 mobile internet access has been disabled periodically up to a few weeks. In 2017 access to social media sites were banned to prevent national exams papers leaking online. This caused a widespread internet disruption, affecting both mobile network and fixed line internet services.
Ethio TelecomEdit
As mentioned Ethio Telecom is the only player in the country.
2G is on 900 MHz and 3G up to HSPA+ on 2100 MHz. 4G/LTE was launched in Addis Abeba only in March 2015 on 1800 MHz. 4G/LTE is available for prepaid in the capital.
It also operates a network in CDMA/EVDO technology, that is not compatible with GSM technology.
Availability Edit
A SIM card costs 30 birr and contains 15 birr starter credit. It's available in Ethio Telecom shops . For the mandatory registration you need a copy of your passport key page and a passport photo. Some stores are able to take a photo and copy a page, but you should not rely on it and can speed up the process by bringing yours.
Usually only standard size SIM cards are available. Micro size is hard to find, nano is non-existent. But most often the store or another cell phone shop has a cutting device to cut you SIM to size. Ethio in Bole charges 20 Birr to cut the SIM card to nano size.
There is still no shop at the airport, you'll need to go downtown. Be aware, that there are touts at the airport or on the streets asking US$20 or more for a SIM card registered on someone else. You'll pay 15 times as much as the official price just to save some time. Furthermore, it's illegal and your SIM may be shut off.
Recharges and validity Edit
Recharge vouchers are available all over the country in 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 Birr. Vouchers of 5-100 Birr give the equivalent number of days of service, those of 250 Birr or more have a validity of 120 days. The maximum to be accumulated validity period is 120 days.
After that your line will be open only to incoming services for 11 months. After another month of grace period without a top-up, you line will suspended forever.
To recharge your account use command *805*<voucher code>#. For balance inquiry press *804#.

Note: This is old news, bro! Our full Samsung Galaxy SIII review is now live!
"It sees what you see", "It shares what you love", "It knows what you want", "It's 'designed for humans'". Just some of the taglines for the new Samsung Galaxy S3, which was finally launched tonight in Earl's Court, London.
Roughly 2,000 people gathered in the massive auditorium to get the first glance of this elusive mobile, which has already been talked about tons, and if you missed our live blog, here's the full skinny. Don't forget to check out our gallery of hands-on pics, including photos of the launch, and our full hands-on review of the phone!
The Samsung Galaxy S3 will be available in Europe from May 29th.
Samsung Galaxy S3 main specs overview
JK Shin (President and Head of IT at Samsung) took to the stage after a brief intro by Suzi Perry, to properly introduce the next Galaxy. After teasing us with the usual buzzwords and marketing speak, we finally had confirmation of the main specs:
A 4.8 inch HD Super Amoled screen is slightly larger than the 4.7-inch effort we expected. 1280 x 720 pixel resolution should make for ultra-sharp images.
An 8MP camera is also on board, with lots of cool features such as burst mode and 'best shot'. You also get a front-facing 1.9MP camera.
At 8.6mm thick and 133g light, the Galaxy S3 is a similar size and weight to the likes of the HTC One X and the Sony Xperia S. The design is apparently inspired by 'pebbles and leaves' - or nature, as they later explained.
And yes, the Galaxy S3 packs a quad-core processor, for the ultimate performance.
16GB/32GB/64GB storage space, plus microSD slot.
Full phone details and features
Next up was Jean Daniel Ayme (Vice President of European telecommunications at Samsung) who gave us a proper look at the new Galaxy S3, and some of the cool social features. He started by explaining that the phone knows precisely what we are doing, and follows our intentions - all sounds a little Skynet, doesn't it?
Natural Design
Marble white and pebble blue are the two colours the Galaxy S3 will come in. Samsung has aimed for minimal, ergonomic design based on nature. For instance, the alarm uses nature sounds to rouse you gently from sleep (which sounds like a sure-fire reason for us not getting out of bed, ever). 'A bit bizarre but very natural' is the way Samsung describes the ringtone, which sounds like some crazy electro wave.
Sharp Shooter
Now for the 8MP camera. Zero shutter lag allows you to instantly capture an image, and the camera is ready to take another snap in less than a second. You can also take up to 20 shots in a 'burst shot' - 3.3 shots per second, perfect for those action shots. It can also select a 'best shot' from a burst to keep, while discarding the others - just like the HTC One X, except the Galaxy S3 actually chooses the best photo for you (with the One X, you had to select your favourite yourself). You can also takes shots at the same time as shooting HD video, again like the One X.
Face Zoom automatically zooms in on people's faces, while Group Tag will group your shots depending on the people in the shots. You can also take HD video of yourself with the front-facing camera, if you're particularly narcissistic.
AMOLED screen
Oh yes, we can't forget that 4.8-inch Super AMOLED screen. A 0.01ms response rate means you can watch HD video with no kind of motion blur, as well as being energy efficient and super bright. While increasing the screen size, Samsung has also narrowed the bezel to keep the Galaxy S3 only a tad bigger than the Galaxy S2. It certainly is an impressively sharp screen - check out our full hands-on for our initial thoughts.
Next we were introduced to S Voice - Samsung's version of Siri, the iPhone voice recognition service. The Galaxy S3 is a 'good friend' who listens intently and responds as wanted, Ayme explained. Let's say you're driving in your car and you want to check some info, such as traffic reports. You don't even have to look at your phone. Just say 'hi Galaxy' and it'll wake up, and wait for your next move.
Follow up with 'how's the weather in London?' and you get the full bad news. So far, pretty similar to Siri. You tell it you want to take a photo, and it launches the camera, or you can ask it to load any other app or browse the web for information. Apparently S-Voice recognises 8 different languages, including British and American (ha!), Korean, French, German, etc.
Super smart smartphone
The Galaxy S3 is smart in other ways too. For instance, raise the phone to your head in the middle of texting someone, and it will automatically call that person. The S3 is super-flexible too, allowing you to watch videos as the same time as browsing the web - and allowing you to move the video box around as you like, so you can push it to a corner while you check your mails. Nice.
Social life and media
The Samsung Galaxy S3 will also help with your social life apparently, using SocialTag - a smart way to share media with friends. The phone will recognise your friends in your snaps, and links directly to your mates' social media streams. Take a photo of your wife, for instance, and when you tap her image in the shot, you can go straight to her Facebook account and other social media accounts.
'Buddy photo share' is another feature that allows you to share your photos with friends and family instantly over MMS (remember that?) - or you can also use email. You can also share media dead easy if your friends are right there beside you. Just put your phone next to your friend's and you can push it over to their device using NFC. An extra device called the 'AllShare Cast Dongle' allows you to control presentations and share content with any HDMI enabled device, direct from your Galaxy S3.
'All share play' allows you to get remote access to your media, wherever you are in the world. Also, 'Group Cast' allows you to share your media with multiple people over a Wi-Fi network, and for each party to edit that media at the same time. Third parties will get SDK access to the All Share features, so expect lots of apps that take advantage of these features.
Accessories and yet more services
Another accessory is the 'Wireless charging kit', which is basically one of those Duracell pebbles that you rest your phone on to charge it wirelessly. You can also get an MP3 player called 'S Pebble'.
Samsung's Game Hub, Movie Hub and Music Hub are basically online portals for all your media needs. These services are coming quicker than we can type. You even get 'S Health' which tells you if you're about to keel over and die, which we're close to doing in this sweaty hall.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 will be available in Europe from May 29th, so get those credit cards charged! Our massive Samsung Galaxy S3 review will be online soon, but here's our initial hands-on review to whet your appetite.
