The 5GHz band works marginally better now, It drops about 5 min after I leave the room instead of immediately.. I didn't get a chance to look into all of the DD-WRT settings (and play with stuff), but I'll keep looking into it. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out a way to boost the range through the software.
Not an expert...but just throwing it out...
Any chance you have other phones (land-lines) or other devices interfering in that spectrum?
I live out in the sticks, so interference is limited.

|CMC training hike for Mount Elbrus. Considering how hot and dry it has been, there was still plenty of snow higher up. The weather was just about perfect: sunny skies and almost no wind (we could have used a gentle breeze, actually. It was pretty warm). There were a few other climbers and skiers on the glacier. Two of our group decided to wait at the top of the Queens Way while the rest of us went to the summit. It was a tough but good day.

HOUSTON - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney chose seven-term Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan for his running mate Saturday and many Houstonians had an opinion about the decision.
Local 2 spoke to locals watching the announcement at the 59 Diner in Shepard.
Stacie Perry said this is certainly good news.
"Exciting choice, given the economic situation we're in, we need all the help we can get," said Perry
"It's kind of interesting just because of his lack of experience," said Brian Weissman, also at the event.
Ryan, a 42-year-old father of three is a rising star in the Republican party and has established himself as a leading GOP spokesman when it comes to significantly reducing the deficit and debt.
"He adds youth, he adds energy, he adds an understanding of the budget and the numbers and what it's going to take to undo the mess President Obama has put us in," Harris Co. Republican Party Chairman Jared Woodfill said.
On the other side of the aisle, Democrats said the Congressman's charisma may appeal to voters but his policies will do the exact opposite.
"It's the Ryan policies that are going to gut the programs for college, Medicare, seniors. It is a bad choice. It doesn't matter how good his personality is," Harris Co. Democratic Party Chairman Lane Lewis said.
Republicans and Democrats alike say Ryan is far from the conventional choice, but he will ensure the focus of the election is where it's needed most: the economy.
"In Representative Ryan we have someone who has been up there fighting for conservative challenges that our county faces, " Woodfill said.
"It becomes Obama/Biden fighting for the middle class and it becomes Romney/Ryan fighting for the upper class. It's a real election choice now." Lewis said.

Train kills pedestrian in Detroit Lakes
DETROIT LAKES, Minn. - A woman here was killed when she was struck by a Burlington Northern Sante Fe train Tuesday morning.
Authorities say a 35-year-old Detroit Lakes woman, whose name has not been released, had met a friend from Mahnomen, Minn., whose name also is being withheld, at the Amtrak station in Detroit Lakes Tuesday morning.
She was talking with the man at the station, who'd given her a television set and a stuffed animal, evidently as birthday presents, when she decided to cross the tracks to go to a tobacco store.
She was hit when she was returning to the depot about 10:39 a.m., according to the Becker County Sheriff's Department.
Detroit Lakes Police Chief Kel Keena said a westbound BNSF train hit the woman and an engineer in a second, eastbound BNSF train witnessed the accident.
Keena said the train that hit the woman was blowing its whistle.
"She thought she could make it, I suppose," Keena said. "I don't know."
He said about 11:30 a.m. that police were waiting for BNSF officials to arrive and conduct their investigation and for a crew from Glyndon, Minn., to move the train.
He said the crossing might open during lunch.
The Detroit Lakes Tribune and the Echo Press are owned by Forum Communications Company.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
What's more punk rock than a total dive that serves PBR tall boys for $4 and most other beers for $2? The Juke Joint stage is dedicated to ex-Nekromantix drummer Andrew Martinez, with a photo and a plaque honoring the musician who died in a horrible 2009 car crash. It's also a big local draw for its Latin-music promotional nights, such as the off-the-hook Conjunto Nueva Ola/Leo Machado show. Such horizon-broadening efforts notwithstanding, the psychobilly/greaser vibe is strong in this one—the interiors are all black (of course!), and either Johnny Cash or the Blasters will stream out of the jukebox on a slow night. But when the place is packed and there's a live show, it's especially dirty, dark and drunk. The bonus? Everyone at the Juke Joint gets a tad bit sexier.
So you're looking to pick up some fine young thing for a little action—nothing serious, just a good time. Head over to Sutra, the glitzy club at Triangle Square where you'll find a bevy of pretty party people to choose from. The scene is very image-conscious—there's more silicone at Sutra than a Mattel production plant—and if you're serious about getting laid, prepare to throw around some cash: Money speaks very loudly to this very loud crowd. You and your new friend may not spend the evening discussing Flaubert or Kierkegaard—but you'll probably wake up with a big, fat smile.
Where do people of a refined age, well-established career and certain means go to find love (or a hot hook-up)? Javier's in Newport Beach's Crystal Cove. The coastal restaurant is decadently decorated, appealing to those of finer tastes, and boasts a giant, jungle-esque cantina complete with a fire pit, indoor greenery, and very expensive-looking seating and tables. The food is irrelevant for this group—it's difficult for most people to look sexy while shoveling carne asada in their faces. But what this Javier's offers is ambiance and location: Newport Beach is the mother ship for both rich dudes and artfully augmented women. For the gentlemen, who tend to travel alone or in groups of no more than three, it offers a fine selection of tequilas, Scotch and beer. And for the ladies, who usually venture out in small packs, there is a wide menu of margaritas and champagne. Enjoy the hunt!
We've all done it: Before going out on a date, we've chanted that one request—"Please, God, don't let me run into anyone I know." The Riviera is dark—really dark—and the menu is way too fancy for any of your friends. In operation for more than 30 years, this classic restaurant and bar has all the romantic standards: steaks, seafood, champagne, escargot and frog legs. You stand a good chance of getting through this one unscathed—and unseen. If you're too ashamed to take your date to your favorite bar, at least treat them to fine food and drink. It'll cost you a pretty penny, but hey, this is your shallow insecurity, not theirs.
While we can't comment on friends who may or may not have made brief eye contact with a pretty college-aged lass before the two adjourned to the sidewalk outside Back Alley's large smoking patio for a brief romp, we can say the informal, booze-fueled environment of the venerable watering hole is conducive to bringing strangers together. With Cal State Fullerton and Fullerton College close by, it's an attractive option for stressed-out matriculates looking to blow off a little steam. There's just something about that smoking patio on a hot night. The music from the jukebox is loud, and a large hole in the building's front wall grants access to the bar from outside. Suddenly, people who don't normally smoke are congregating under the stars and rubbing elbows (among other things) in a confined area. Those who lack game might be tempted to throw their hands up and grumble bitterly about Back Alley being just another Fullerton bar, but hey, most folks don't head there on a Friday night for stimulating conversation.
Neighborhood bar? Transplanted community is more like it! The place where Xalos Bar makes its home was once "The Shack"—ground zero of one too many neo-Nazi shows, as the Weekly exposed 10 years ago. The times, demographics and venue have changed, however, and "Un Poco de Jalisco en el Corazon de Anaheim" is now the prevailing banner for the establishment off the interchange for the 91 and 57 freeways. For all the young people with roots planted in the municipality of Jalostotitlán in the Mexican state of Jalisco and currently populating this northern OC city, Xalos Bar is a space to anchor their social lives. But enough sociological shit; let's talk puro pinche pari. Xalos' bar is fully stocked and offers drink and bottle specials, but it's not really designed for people to get liquored-up and lounge. The inebriation is aimed at loosening up patrons enough that they'll hit the dance floor, which tends to get more than crowded, so remember to put extra deodorant on, lest you become the cabrón with the cebolla-smelling armpits drenching your dress shirt. Live banda and norteño music, along with super-estrella club, pop and rock en español DJ mix nights keep the beat going. Muster up some courage and drop a line to any one of the "AnaHynas" sure to be there on any given night.
Turk's is filled with the type of décor one might expect from a bar overlooking a harbor: fishing nets, ship's helm, giant ceramic fish. Some of the regulars live on their boats or work in the harbor; all prefer a bar where the drinks are stiff, the jukebox is always playing, and smelling like saltwater isn't grounds for dismissal. The walls feature black-and-white photos, most featuring Turk himself. The former owner is no longer around, but his bear hugs and handshakes are part of the legend. The beer selection is limited, but the pub fare is solid, especially the fish and chips. Plus, Turk's is small enough that there's a good possibility that if you go enough times, everyone will know your name.
Sometimes, a bar is just a bar. It doesn't have to be a gastropub, it doesn't need to have décor, and it doesn't need to be upscale. Sometimes, strong drinks and a pretty bartender are all it takes. Add in some sports on the TV above the bar, crowd-sourced music (via a pay-by-the-song jukebox) and pool, and you've got the makings for a great dive bar. Swinging Door gets loud on the weekends, but it's filled with mostly locals; the crowd skews young, but drinkers of all ages show up, just like a neighborhood bar should be. Weekdays are more mellow; though there's no happy hour, the prices are cheap enough it shouldn't matter. And the bartenders are all scantily clad, which does mean it's pretty much wall-to-wall dudes, but this is no Hooters or Tilted Kilt with the fake smiles and the Valley Girl accents. It feels honest here. Pass us another giant PBR, please.
Not many bars have fireplaces, but the ivy-covered Turc's in Sunset Beach boasts two—one large fireplace with seating in the main room, as well as a smaller one in the backroom. Besides keeping you warm during those cooler winter nights, Turc's also has two pool tables and two Megatouch game machines to keep the entertainment flowing in this cozy space. And, of course, there's plenty of booze to go around. The tiki-themed dive bar may not have any beers on draft, but there's a good selection of bottled beers and hard alcohol available. The female bartenders are always friendly and know the regulars by name. It's a hotspot for locals—ranging from older, wealthy beach bums to twenty- and thirtysomethings trying to get away from the trendy, overcrowded bars around town.
There's no need for the Pike's dirty teal exteriors to convince you of its awesomeness. The place is so classically Long Beach and wears its dirty-punk-surf-rat aesthetic so well you can smell the pier water from the bar (even though the ocean is about half a mile away). And while the Pike has all the prerequisites of the perfect neighborhood bar (you can come in a ratty shirt and flip-flops, and no one will care; the beer is cheap; and there's free entertainment on most nights), it also has great food: Try the crispiest fish and chips this side of Belmont Shore.
If you've ever tried to get an outside table at Crystal Cove's Beachcomber Café, with its unparalleled view of one of Southern California's last unspoiled stretches of coastline, you know there's a 45-minute (at least!) wait. Fortunately, there's a seat for you at the Bootlegger Bar, a tiki-style tavern tucked into the shady side of the café and connected to the restaurant by an elevated walkway. With a full bar, there's a wide variety of tropical drinks to choose from, but if the swing-era oldies, pirate mural and vintage Hollywood posters don't have you craving a mai tai, both the mojitos and margaritas are well-fashioned and provide a fine pairing with the available appetizers, particularly the wonton-shell ahi taco sliders and the lobster croquettes. Besides the small fleet of barstools, the outdoor seating area is cozy and convivial and provides a nice respite from the summer heat and screaming kids down on the beach. If you're not already staying at one of the rental cottages just across the creek, you'll have to park across Pacific Coast Highway and either take the shuttle, which drops you right at the restaurant, or hike downhill and through the tunnel to get there.
Bars in Southern California tend to be more waterfront than rooftop—which makes Long Beach's AVIA one to definitely check out. Its Rooftop 360° lounge is an upscale, swanky bar area with views of the coastal skyline as well as the Queen Mary. It looks very "summertime cabana," with its colorful chaise lounges and giant umbrellas, which is appropriate considering our fair climate is nearly year-round. Check out which martinis are on special for the month, and indulge in tasty bar bites such as taro-root chips and mixed olives. Plus, hotel guests can skip the cover charge (which is just $10).

[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Joe Jonas[/lastfm] is set to rock New York's Ed Sullivan Theater Monday, August 22nd at 9 PM ET/ 6 PM PT, streamed live right here as the latest installment of Live on Letterman.
Even though a very dashing 22-year-old Joe Jonas is working on what is bound to become a successful solo career, he obviously received most of his notoriety by being in a band with his brothers Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas.
We started wondering whether there are any other current, not broken up (see: [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Oasis[/lastfm]) bands that the Jonas Brothers could compare to, so we made this list of our Top 10 Current Bands With Brothers.
10.[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Cage The Elephant[/lastfm]
Punkish, energetic Americana rock band from Kentucky, Cage The Elephant, are renowned for their dynamic stage performances–especially from lead singer [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Matthew Schultz[/lastfm]. At Coachella this year, he was rocking a red sundress while 500 people deep in a mosh pit.
Schultz' brother and bandmate, rhythm guitarist [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Brad Schultz[/lastfm], is less adventurous but there is definitely a lot of talent between these two siblings.
9. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]30 Seconds To Mars[/lastfm]
30 Seconds To Mars vocalist [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jared Leto[/lastfm] is famous for a plethora of reasons–most notably his acting career and his fanatical, ummm, fans. His brother[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Shannon Leto[/lastfm] has also done some acting, but he's best known as the super-talented drummer (and Jared's bandmate) in 30 Seconds T0 Mars.
8. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Radiohead[/lastfm]
As the very mysterious brothers in iconic Britpop band Radiohead, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Colin Greenwood[/lastfm] (bassist) and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jonny Greenwood[/lastfm] (mulch-instrumentalist) might not have as much popular notoriety as bandmate and Radiohead lead singer, Thom Yorke, but their years of talent and their massive discography makes it all worth it.
7. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Arcade Fire[/lastfm]
When Arcade Fire won the 2011 Grammy for Album of the Year, not many outside of the indie-rock music scene actually knew who they were. Two of the members of the band–[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Win Butler[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Will Butler[/lastfm]–are brothers.
Win Butler is also married to Arcade Fire singer [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Regine Chassagne[/lastfm]. Awww, what a happy little Canadian family.
6. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Good Charlotte[/lastfm]
Pretty much everyone knows who Good Charlotte is–even if you don't want to. A mainstream punk band from Maryland, Good Charlotte has two very famous brothers as lead singer and guitarist for the band–[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Joel Madden[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Benji Madden[/lastfm].
Joel is widely famous for dating Hilary Duff and marrying Nicole Richie. Benji is known for dating Richie's former best friend, Paris Hilton.
5. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]My Chemical Romance[/lastfm]
Emo alternative rock band from New Jersey, My Chemical Romance is currently one of the biggest rock bands on the radio right now.
Heading up the band is the scarlet-haired [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Gerard Way[/lastfm], infamous for his "rambunctious" onstage personality. His brother,[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Mikey Way[/lastfm], plays bass.
4.[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Switchfoot[/lastfm]
Popular Christian rock band not only has two brothers as lead singer and bass guitarist–[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jon Foreman[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Tim Foreman[/lastfm]–Joe Jonas has actually stated that Switchfoot is one of his favorite bands.
3. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Kings of Leon[/lastfm]
Considered to be one of the new bands that will become "classic rock" twenty years from now, Kings of Leon are one of the most infamous bands of rock brothers–besides[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Oasis[/lastfm], of course.
While there are allegedly dissent amongst the Brothers Followill and their Cousin Followill, there is no doubt that it's just a little sibling rivalry.
2.[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Hanson[/lastfm]
Simultaneously mocked and applauded for their teeny-bopper hit, "MMMBop", the boys of Hanson are all grown-up and actually have a pretty devoted following more than a decade after their song hit the airwaves.
And guess what, the oldest brother–already thirty. We know.
1. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jonas Brothers[/lastfm]
The boys of the hour, the Jonas Brothers are all grown up ( Kevin is even married!), but they are still one of the most popular boy bands to come out of the Disney musical empire.
And for good reason: They are actually really talented.
- Don't forget to come back right here Monday at 9 PM ET/ 6 PM PT to watch Joe Jonas Live on Letterman, presented by AT&T, re-think possible.

Ryan is liked by friends and foes
Paul Ryan's political trajectory really began two decades ago at the knee of one of the party's revered figures, Jack Kemp, who often startled his party by promoting liberal causes such as immigration reform and affirmative action. The young Wisconsin lawmaker steers a more reliably conservative course but is no less lauded for his ideas.
Shortly after college, Ryan joined Kemp's advocacy group Empower America as a junior economic analyst and later worked as a speechwriter when Kemp was the vice presidential nominee in 1996. Allies say that from Ryan's first election to Congress five years later, he has adopted Kemp's philosophy and easygoing style: focusing more on ideas and less on politics and partisan jockeying.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Paul Ryan through the years)
Despite the fierce fighting over his controversial budget plan — The Path To Prosperity — friends and even political opponents say they like Ryan personally and respect his ideas and willingness to engage even if they believe those ideas would harm the country. Yesterday, Democrats indicated they would tar his ideas with every weapon in their political arsenal. Mitt Romney himself made clear when announcing his pick of Ryan that it signaled a turn in the campaign toward real substance and a debate over issues rather than a pettiness and nastiness that the GOP standard-bearer claims President Barack Obama has focused on.
While Ryan has said he lacks Kemp's "natural charisma" and "his infectious enthusiasm … his gift for turning opponents into friends and sometimes even allies," Hill sources said it is the 42-year-old lawmaker's even-keeled demeanor that has helped propel him to the chairmanship of the Budget Committee and to the front of an often-raucous back-biting pack of lawmakers.
"You'd be hard-pressed to find many people who dislike him," said Rep Tom Cole, who serves on the Budget committee with Ryan. "He keeps his nose to the grindstone and is bold without being temperamental. He invites debate. He will be hard to demonize."
Rep. Chris Van Hollen, ranking Democrat on the Budget Committee, told POLITICO that although he disagreed with Ryan's budget plan, which turns Medicare into a voucher system for some future recipients, he had "a good working relationship with [Van Hollen]. … I like Paul personally, as you know."
But like other Democrats, Van Hollen was quick to note that his selection demonstrated that Romney is embracing an economic agenda that "helps people like Mitt Romney."
On the surface, Ryan's modest upbringing in Janesville, Wis., could help offset the idea that Romney is an out-of-touch rich guy, a narrative that the Obama campaign and its allies have pushed.

Latos feeling good, working after elbow surgery
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- Reds starting pitcher Mat Latos isn't going through his typical offseason after having surgery in October, but it's not too far off from the norm.
Latos, who had arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow, has been long tossing without issues. He reported that his elbow felt better than it had in years.
"I'm at 120 feet. Everything is fine," Latos said on Thursday before the start of the 2014 Reds Caravan. "I'm getting everything stretched. I want to long toss, get extended and get everything stretched out."
Latos, who is from Florida but has a home in Southern California, has spent much of his winter in Cincinnati rehabilitating.
"I actually feel like I'm behind right now. They said I'm on schedule," Latos said.
After taking a break from throwing because of the caravan, Latos will resume on Saturday and throw from 120 feet next week also. On Jan. 31, he said he'll throw 10-15 pitches from an indoor mound.
"It's just to see where I'm at kind of thing," Latos said. "We're not letting it loose. I'll be in regular shoes. No cleats. The whole idea is to try and get between four to six bullpens before we start Spring Training. Nothing spectacular -- fastballs and maybe changeups. It depends on how everything feels."
Latos, 26, reported feeling soreness in his elbow and lacked flexibility during the final week of last season. Originally slated to pitch in the National League Wild Card Game vs. the Pirates, he was replaced by Johnny Cueto.
In 32 starts last season, Latos was 14-7 with a 3.16 ERA. Over his 210 2/3 innings, he allowed 197 hits and struck out 187 batters compared to 58 walks. He stepped into the ace's role while Cueto spent three stints on the disabled list.
"Not a bad season for four bone chips floating around in there," Latos said.
Jocketty: Sizemore changed mind at last minute
CINCINNATI -- It appeared that all free-agent outfielder Grady Sizemore had to do was sign the contract and his comeback would start with the Reds. General manager Walt Jocketty seemed confident that would happen.
That was, until it didn't. Sizemore signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox on Wednesday. It will pay a base salary of $750,000 but could reach $6 million with incentives.
Jocketty said the Reds did offer a big league contract as well to the 31-year-old Sizemore, who hasn't played in the Majors since 2011.
"That's all I will say about it. We thought we were going to get it done," Jocketty said on Thursday morning at the 2014 Reds Caravan kickoff. "He changed his mind at the last minute. That's his prerogative."
Once a three-time All-Star for the Indians from 2004-11, Sizemore's career has been derailed by injuries -- including the need for microfracture surgery on both knees.
It appears that the Reds will not be making any big moves ahead of pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training on Feb. 14.
"There's nothing big out there to do. We're not going after any of the top free agents," Jocketty said. "We really haven't talked to anybody about trades. I don't think there will be much of that going on. At this point, I'd just assume we get to Spring Training, see what we have, evaluate what we have and make adjustments if we have to."
Reds bring in Tinsley as assistant hitting coach
CINCINNATI -- The Reds have hired Lee Tinsley to be their new assistant hitting coach, general manager Walt Jocketty revealed on Thursday.
Tinsley, who will assist new hitting coach Don Long, was previously the Cubs' Minor League baserunning and outfield coordinator. This coming season, the 44-year-old was slated to be the manager in Ogden, Utah, for the Dodgers' Rookie-level Pioneer League affiliate.
"He was the No. 1 pick in Oakland [in 1987] when I was there," Jocketty said. "Bryan [Price, the Reds' manager] worked with him in Arizona. He's a great guy. He'll help with hitting, and he'll help [coach Billy] Hatcher with the outfield and baserunning stuff."
In a five-year Major League career from 1993-97, Tinsley played for the Mariners, Red Sox and Phillies. In Cincinnati, he replaces Ronnie Ortegon, who took Long's former job as the Braves' Minor League hitting coordinator.
The Reds also promoted Sean Marohn to strength and conditioning coordinator after he did the same job in the Minor Leagues for the organization the past 10 years. Marohn replaced Matt Krause, who left in December to join the Yankees.
Marohn recently returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic, where he observed some workouts for pitcher Johnny Cueto. The rotation's ace, Cueto battled a strained right lat muscle much of last season and was limited to 11 starts.
"[Marohn] said he looked great, felt good," Jocketty said.
Worth noting
The western leg of the Reds Caravan made its first stop in Bridgetown, Ohio, with the winners of the first annual Reds Caravan Home Takeover contest. It was the home of Keith and Sherry Gregor, who were picked from a pool of 200 contestants vying for the caravan stop.
For the contest that began in December, Reds fans were asked to submit an essay on why a stop at their home would make a great addition to the caravan. As the winners, the Gregors were able to invite 20 people to their home for the stop to meet broadcaster Marty Brennaman, catcher Brayan Pena and Reds great Eric Davis -- among others.
Incidentally, Keith Gregor played college basketball for the University of Cincinnati Bearcats from 1992-96.

CARSON, Calif. (Friday, April 27, 2012) – The LA Galaxy U-16 and U-18 teams travel to Arizona this weekend to play two crucial games against Real Salt Lake-Arizona at the Casa Grande Sports World complex on Saturday and Sunday. The games on Sunday were originally to be played at The Home Depot Center on April 1, but were rescheduled in order to fit in the club's trip to Spain to play in the Real Sociedad XXVII Youth Invitational Tournament.
For the club, the games don't get much bigger than this weekend as both clubs are jostling for playoff positioning in both age groups.
The Galaxy U-18's (15-1-3 overall, 8-1-1 SoCal Division) have two divisional games in hand on RSL-Arizona (10-7-5 overall, 6-2-4 SoCal Division) and are three points ahead of them in the standings in second place. The club can widen the gap between the two teams if they come out with the same focus they've had the last two games, which they've won by a combined score of 9-0.
The first game between the Galaxy U-18's and RSL-Arizona is Saturday on Field 6 of the Casa Grande Sports complex at 10 a.m. The two teams will face each other again the next day on the same field at the same time, but this time the Galaxy will technically be the home team since this is a game that was rescheduled.
The competition will be just as fierce at the U-16 level, where the LA Galaxy (12-3-4 overall, 7-1-2 SoCal Division) have an opportunity to overtake RSL-Arizona (15-5-2 overall, 9-3-0 SoCal Division) in points for the top spot in the division standings. The Galaxy are currently four points behind RSL-Arizona though they have two games in hand.
The U-16's enter the weekend having won their last two games by a combined score of 7-1, with Johnny Arrellano, Justin Dhillon, and Steve Martinez leading the way. The trio has combined to score five goals in the recent wins over Strikers FC and the San Diego Surf. At the other end of the field, goalkeeper Dannil Slepukhin has yet to allow a goal since combing back from Spain, recording a shutout in the win over Strikers and then keeping San Diego off the scoreboard in the 52 minutes he played last week.
Much like the U-18's, the Galaxy U-16's will face RSL-Arizona twice this weekend. The first game will be Saturday with the second one taking place Sunday. Both games will kick off at 12:30 p.m. on Field 6 of the Casa Grande Sports complex.
LA Galaxy U-18's 5, San Diego Surf FC 0 Saturday, April 21 The Home Depot Center
Not sure what the team ate in Spain, but whatever it was it's working. The LA Galaxy U-18 Academy team put together another solid performance over the weekend soundly beating the San Diego Surf, 5-0. A week ago the team beat Strikers FC, 4-0. Goals came from four different players on both sides of the half. First team player Jose Villarreal (Inglewood, Calif.) had two on the day, as he is still continuing to regain match fitness after returning to the field from surgery. Another first team player, Jack McBean (Newport Beach, Calif.), made it on to the scoresheet as well, as did Drew Murphy (Palos Verdes, Calif.) and Sebastian Velasquez (Los Angeles, Calif.). Juan Cervantes (Gardena, Calif.) and Steven Barrera combined for the shutout.
LA Galaxy U-16's 5, San Diego Surf FC 1 Saturday, April 21 The Home Depot Center
Steve Martinez (Los Angeles, Calif.) scored two goals and Jonny Arellano, Justin Dhillon (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) and Ivan Vasquez (Fullerton, Calif.) each added one as the LA Galaxy U-16 Academy team beat the San Diego Surf, 5-1, on Sunday. Vasquez, a defender, put the Galaxy up 1-0 in the 12th minute. Arellano then doubled the lead just before the half-hour mark in the 24th minute. The club scored three goals in the second half, two were by Martinez, who came off the bench in the 60th minute and quickly inserted himself into the scoresheet in the 63rd and 70th minutes. Dhillon rounded out the scoring in the 75th minute.
Game Date
LA Galaxy U-18 vs. Real Salt Lake-Arizona Saturday, April 28

'Lion King' review: Thrilling spectacle
Published 5:00 pm, Sunday, November 4, 2012
The Lion King: Musical. Book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi. Music and lyrics by Elton John, Tim Rice et al. Directed by Julie Taymor. Through Jan. 13. Orpheum Theatre, 1192 Market St., San Francisco. Two hours, 30 minutes. $32.50-$150. (888) 746-1799. www.shnsf.com.
"The Lion King" roared back into the Orpheum Theatre on Saturday for its first visit since it occupied that house for most of 2004. The national touring company, presented in the SHN series, looks a little rough around the edges, but it's still a wondrous spectacle of imaginative puppetry, African rhythms, athletic dance and brilliant design.

Just ask my grandkids.
"Awesome," said 8-year-old Claire, who was seeing it for the first time.
"Really good," said her brother Seth, 11, who'd seen it on its last visit.
There's no question this "Lion" has legs. Now in its 15th year on Broadway and the highest-grossing show in Broadway history, director-designer Julie Taymor's inspired creation is also still running in London, Hamburg, Madrid and Tokyo, with several touring companies to boot. It's the richest gem in Disney Theatrical Productions' crown.
It grabs hold of your imagination from its very first moments - when the wisewoman (or wise-mandrill) griot Rafiki (Buyi Zama) sings out with soul-stirring clarity, answered by resonant tenors in the balcony. As the drums kick in and an enormous paper sun unfolds in a golden glow, the stage - and the aisles - come alive with a loping giraffe, prancing zebras, gliding birds, an enormous elephant and rhinoceros, leaping gazelles and a prowling cheetah.
The story that unfolds, adapted by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi from the Disney animated film (which Mecchi co-wrote with Jonathan Roberts and Linda Woolverton), will be familiar to most who see it. It's the making of a king of the beasts.
The great lion king Mufasa (a powerful Dionne Randolph) is murdered by his craven, nasty brother Scar (the delightfully villainous Derek Smith, returning from the '04 production). Convinced that he's responsible, cub heir apparent Young Simba (a crowd-pleasing Adante Power on opening night) flees the Pridelands and takes refuge in the jungle with the comically feckless meerkat Timon (Nick Cordileone) and gaseous warthog Pumbaa (Ben Lipitz).
As Scar and his army of hyenas destroy the ecosystem back home (yes, there's a good green message), Simba grows into robust young lionhood (the muscular Jelani Remy). He's lured home by cub-hood pal, now sexy, fierce young lioness Nala (the superb Syndee Winters) and by Rafiki and the awesome puppet-spirit of his father. They take back the kingdom, and the Circle of Life is restored.
It's a passably good story for a musical. Taymor's genius lay in cutting the sentiment with healthy doses of vaudeville and music-hall humor and in enlarging and strengthening the female roles. Even better, she Africanized Elton John and Tim Rice's banal songs from the film with Tsidii Le Loka's vibrant chants for Rafiki and songs by Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Hans Zimmer and herself.
The rich voices of the chorus and most of the soloists bring the score thrillingly to life under Rick Snyder's music direction, even if the drums are underwhelming this time out. Garth Fagan's explosive, African- and Caribbean-based choreography enlivens the whole package.
There are a few moments when the touring company looks a little ragged. Some transitions are slow. The once-frightening cascade of a wildebeest stampede and the climactic battle looked a bit haphazard Saturday.
But most of the leads are strong, particularly Zama, Smith, Randolph and the Nala of Winters and, Saturday, a vital Sade Phillip-Demorcy as a cub. Lipitz, Cordileone and Mark David Kaplan, as the busybody toucan Zazu, nail the comedy. And the fabulous puppets of Taymor and Michael Curry - giant pachyderms, tiny shadows, stilt-walking giraffes, soaring birds, dancing grasslands - fill the heart with wonder.

OCEAN CITY – The Mayor and City Council decided to accept the only bid made this year for the two beach photo franchises of Ocean City.
United Beach Photo owner Patrick McLaughlin possesses the current beach photo franchise in town. Last month, McLaughlin was the only bidder on the two franchises once again. The annual bids given were $220,000 and $175,000, bringing the total for the four-year contract of the franchises to $880,000 and $700,000.
Besides owning the beach photo franchise, McLaughlin also owns about half of Ocean City's beach equipment rental stands.
The morning after McLaughlin presented his bids for the beach photo franchise to the Mayor and City Council Internal Revenue Service agents raided his business.
The Dispatch has attempted to contact McLaughlin in efforts to clear up the situation, but attempts have been unsuccessful.
The Mayor and City Council chose look over McLaughlin's circumstances during this week's meeting and voted unanimously to accept McLaughlin's bid, with no discussion.

On my notebook PC (with ZA 10 now) , it takes forever to boot up.
This was a problem in ZA 9... on bootup, it ZA would run a daily update and take 10 minutes before my PC was usable. All programs ran EXTREMELY slow and the Internet was suuuuuuper slow.
Now, in ZA 10 it takes 20 minutes to run the update before my computer becomes usable.
Thank goodness, I haven't updated on my main PC. This new version has some issues.
Thanks in advance.

There was still a fair amount of snow higher up: Ice axe and crampons were necessary. We reached the top just before 10AM. There was almost no wind at the summit, but the clouds were building swiftly. There was a guy in jeans and a button up shirt at the V slot when we were coming down. I was able to do a few glissades on the descent. It hailed and rained on us a few times when we got back down into the basin. There we a lot of ATVs on the road this day.

One of these days Stefan Struve is finally going to realize that, even in the UFC heavyweight division, he is a giant among men. One of these days it's going to hit him that he's nearly seven feet tall with arms like a gibbon, and then a lot of UFC heavyweights are going to be in big, big trouble.
Maybe it will happen out of the blue one day. Maybe he'll be at the supermarket when a little old lady asks him to hand her a jar of pickles off the top shelf, and that's when he'll realize he has to crouch down to get it for her.
Or maybe – and here's a crazy thought – his eureka moment already took place, and it happened right in front of our eyes during Saturday's UFC on FUEL TV 5 main event. If so, it didn't happen easily. It certainly didn't happen in the first round, when Struve was getting caught all too easily by a man who was 7 inches shorter, yet had no trouble wading in close enough to whack him in the face almost at will.
Judging by that first frame alone, you'd have thought that Stipe Miocic was going to have a relatively easy time of it. Then Struve came out in the second and started sticking Miocic with jabs before thumping him with uppercuts, and before he knew it the Dutchman had another comeback victory to add to his ledger.
That might not have been the easiest way to go about it (and, sorry Stefan, but I'm not sure it makes you a top-five heavyweight just yet – not unless Daniel Cormier retired and no one told me), but Struve got the job done in the end. Maybe he even learned some variation on the lesson that heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson had to spend a few weeks in jail to learn: a man his size should never (or at least rarely) have to take a punch.
On to other action from Nottingham…
Has Dan Hardy taught us the value of a little patience?
Now that he's won two in a row it's official: Hardy has a winning streak going. But it might not have happened if the UFC had cut him after his third (or fourth) consecutive loss. It's a good reminder that one losing skid does not necessarily make you an irredeemably bad fighter, and we should applaud the UFC for giving "The Outlaw" a chance to turn things around. At the same time, we should remember why Hardy got that chance. It's his stand-and-bang style that convinced the UFC stick with him, but it's that same style that often got him in trouble.
Look at how Hardy beat Amir Sadollah on Saturday. It wasn't by being the same old slugger we'd come to know and expect entertaining defeat from. It was by being a complete mixed martial artist. It makes you wonder, if Hardy can learn to do something other than stand and bang, what would happen if other fighters were given the chance to stick around and learn some other skills? What if those same fighters felt comfortable taking a few more chances, rather than fearing that the axe would come for them if they dropped two or three in a row?
I'm not saying the UFC should keep paying fighters who do nothing but lose, but it is a little weird that the same organization that promotes a risk-taking, gun-slinging style for the sake of keeping its fans happy is also sometimes a little too quick to pull the plug if the losses start piling up. The UFC stuck with Hardy and it paid off. Would it have been so unthinkable to do the same with Gerald Harris?
Can we stop messing around and just admit that Matt Wiman is pretty good?
I get that, in some way, he still seems like another also-ran from another season of "The Ultimate Fighter." You might even forget that he's still in the UFC until you see his name pop up on a fight card. But after beating Paul Sass at his own game with a first-round submission, Wiman is 5-1 in his last six fights. And that one? That was a decision loss to Dennis Siver, and it could have easily gone Wiman's way.
That's not me arguing for an immediate title shot for Wiman, but it's worth pointing out that he's done enough to shed those old labels and be taken seriously in the lightweight division. Also, for those who get the urge to boo as soon as a fight hits the mat, the Wiman-Sass bout was nearly four minutes of almost nothing but grappling, and it was as exciting as any fight on this card. Wiman threw a total of eight strikes en route to victory. But hey, he landed seven of them, so at least his percentage is good.
Yes, bantamweights do finish fights
You'd expect a guy who goes by the nickname "One Punch" to have more devastating knockouts to his credit. Brad Pickett took the first step in remedying that problem when he dropped Yves Jabouin with a mean uppercut, then followed up with a couple more unnecessary shots before referee Leon Roberts could jump in there and sacrifice his body to save Jabouin's face. Remember all that hand-wringing about the lighter weights and their lack of finishing ability? Pickett's 2-1 in three fights with the UFC and he's yet to see the third round. Maybe it's the hat. Okay, it's probably not the hat.
DaMarques Johnson takes his chances, and his lumps
"Darkness" took the bout with Gunnar Nelson on short notice, and just as he was coming off injury suspension following the knockout he suffered in early August. In retrospect, it might have been a bad idea, for several reasons.
For one, there's the brain stuff. Granted, Nelson's not known as a slugger, and it was ultimately his submissions that proved to be Johnson's undoing, but it's still not a great idea to be cagefighting eight weeks after a concussion. The experts will tell you that it's not even about avoiding direct blows to the head – it's about rest. Worrying about weight-cutting and fighting again so soon after that is probably a bad idea, even if Johnson says he isn't planning to live long enough to pay the bill.
Then there are practical career concerns. That's the third loss in a row for Johnson, and we've already covered what that usually means in the UFC. He stepped up and did his employers a favor, but you can still find him on Twitter this week, answering questions about who he'll fight next with replies like: "Depends if I get cut or not."
If that doesn't bum you out, you need to develop your empathy muscles. Again, I doubt Johnson will get cut so soon after taking one for the team. At the same time, that was probably too much to even ask of him just then, and at a time when he might have felt like he couldn't say no without putting himself in a bad spot with the UFC. After all, we see what happened to Matt Mitrione after he turned down a fight with Daniel Cormier. Dana White just put his business in the streets, and all while shaking his head at the man's career moves. It's hard for a lot of fighters – and remember, these are the kind of dudes who generally think they can beat up anybody – to resist that pressure to step up and fight. For both his health and his career longevity, Johnson might have been better off staying home this weekend. And yet somehow I suspect that he'd make the same exact decision if he had it to do over again.

Checks fuel pressure and spark, everything seems normal and to spec. Running an external inline fuel filter and changing filter didn't help. What am I missing? Any insight is much appreciated!

"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
NBA teams usually overpay for centers. I think we'll be able to dump him on some team.
Gotta wonder how badly that knee's been affected. Carrying that much weight around is a burden.
I just watched some highlights from 2 years again on pootube and if he can get back to the same level of athleticism he showed there I'll be really surprised. He looked well over 300lbs in the video and still managed some surprising athletic alley-oops and baseline moves.
If we can get back the 18+ppg and 6+rpg Curry I think we'll really do well.
I can see G-State going for him, they have absolutley no inside presence! Don Nelson has never damanded much defensivley from anyone on any of his teams.
Here is my short list of possible suitors if Curry comes back in shape (no particular order)
The Jazz- In my dreams we can swap him (and one of our young player ie. Nate) for Boozer. Seems like a goofy fan trade?...maybe, but consider Milsap is a rugged type PF (think David Lee w/ D and less rebs) would be just the type of player Curry needs as a frontcourt mate.
Here's the catch: Jerry Sloan is one of the most desiplined coachs in The NBA. There would have to be no signs of poor work ethic on Curry's part for Utah to even consider. Plus, as much as they say they are not looking for cap relief, the reality is they are! Curry adds almost 12 million to cap next season not to mention they do have Okur
Likleyhood: 5% (told you I was dreaming)
The Thunder- Currently have Nenad Kristic at the 5, which is why they have been chasing big men since mid last season. Etan Thomas would provide the rugged frontcourt mate Curry needs to be paired w/. He is young enough to fit into their "building toward the future" plan. With no low post scorer on the team Curry is a great fit here. They drafted Mullens, but he is a D-League player for now
Here's the catch: Like I said they did chase big men, but, they did chase big men but defensive minded bigs is who they were after (ie. Chandler). I also mentioned they have Etan Thomas as a compliment, but a deal for Curry would have to include him.
Likleyhood 25%
G-State: This is the ideal fit for Curry, I said it before Don Nelson openly expresses his lack of need of Defense. G-State currently has Andris Biedrins as their center and his game can be best compared to a better rebounding Chris Dudley! Look Corey Maggetie started games at the PF for them! This team needs inside scoring like we needed a New GM two seasons ago!
Here's The Catch: The catch is that Golden State has a new GM and is not run by the mindless Chris Mullin and Don Nelson anymore. A year ago this would have been as easy as selling Isiah washed up and disfuntional players with long contracts. Really a year ago all Curry wouldve had to do was report to camp in shape.Larry Riley probably would want to see how his team plays coming out of the gate and would also want to see how Curry plays before making such a move. Plus such a move would require Golden State use all of its expiring contracts
likleyhood: 50/50
Chicago: Send him back to where he came from! Well Paxon drafted him, he was a budding star there, they have not had a decent low post scorer since he left. A deal straight up for Miller would save them 2 million in cap this season. Look if Chicago was up to bringing back Tim Thomas who left on bad terms during his first stint w/ The Bulls then Curry wouldnt be that out of the question. Some say a lack of lowpost presence is why Chicago did not beat Boston in the first round (I disagree) that could be another factor in them wanting him.
Here's the catch: They are on the same 2010 plan as we are! Curry hinders that plan, but Hinrich and Salmons are two players who could be easily moved for expiring contracts (unlike Curry and Jefferies) freeing up 16 million. Still a bit of a long shot
likelyhood: 35%
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
What if Tyson Chandler has an unproductive/injury prone season next year? He probably would pick up his player option for 1 more year in Charlotte..
Could possibly do a Curry + future draft pick -> Chandler.
Charlotte isn't in any position to compete so they might do it if it meant picking up a 2011 or 2012 protected 1st round pick.
A s8 up deal w/ Chicago for Miller would be poetic.
But ya, shedding The Beached Whale would be sweet no matter what....can't wait to get closure on the most mind-numbingly vicious self-rape of a trade.
For some reason I see Currster ending up w/ Thunder....ya, ya, you need D -- but how often do teams actually resist the lure of powerhouse offense and "potential".

Supposed iPhone 5 caught on camera
0. phoneArena posted on 03 Sep 2012, 00:53
Just because no one can wait the week and a half or so until Apple announces the iPhone 5, we've got more supposed news on the upcoming smartphone. This time, the reported info claims to be actual video of Apple's next big smartphone...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
3. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
well apple either abandoned their "policy" of secrecy or were quite bad at it this time around…
but it looks nice and really thin-- i like that the 8-pin connector can be attached either way by the look of it
6. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
I like how it makes pretty much all the accessories that people using previous iPhones have obsolete.
It's quite hilarious, actually; many iPhone users stick with it because they don't want to have to buy all new accessories. Now they'll have to anyway. Perhaps they'll start giving alternatives a look because of this?
9. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Accessory manufacturers were whining to Timmy about getting their margins improved. Timmy's team delivered with the 8/9 pin new connector....
Wana bet the the Apple fans didn't know they needed a new connector?
12. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Well, they'll be figuring it out soon enough. I'm sure it won't be enough to deter people, and they'll rush to buy ALLLL the new accessories as soon as possible. Funny thing is that iPhone owners seem to feel the need to throw as much money as possible at anything remotely related to their phones.
Either way I'm sure that it'll be a busy week when it launches, and I'll have to deal with the bleating from people rushing into the store. "I want an iPhone, and I don't want to look at ANYTHING else! Also, I expect this transaction to take five minutes, so I won't be getting anything extra to make up for the fact that you don't make any frickin' margin on the phone!"
Why yes, I will be a grumpy Gus that week.
38. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Well I don't really expect you to understand since when compared to iPhone, specific Android devices have hardly any accessories. It's not like most of you actually have the choice NOT to "throw as much money as possible at anything remotely related to their phones". I've read many Android users on this site actually say they wish there were more accessories for Android devices.
And I swear, you guys make the biggest deal out of the smallest things just cause you're haters! Are we really making this big a deal about an 8-pin connector? That's probably the #1 thing I DON'T care about, as long as they provide me with a cable for charging. After every iPhone I purchase, I run the risk of not having it compatible with some of my accessories. And some of my accessories aren't even compatible with my current iPhone! And besides, Apple has stuck with their standard connector for over 10 years now, since their original iPod (I believe). This change was obviously going to happen sometime or another, and its not like Apple's changing the connector every damn year. Additionally, this new connector, should last much much longer than 10 years (maybe indefinitely), since its so small, compact, and doesn't waste as much space as the current ones. Don't worry about us iPhone users though, we'll be fine. You on the other hand, I'm worried about. Just sell the phones and move on with your life. Take your vacation days. Or quit, that works too...lol jk. but seriously, no big deal. No need to be grumpy
16. redmd (Posts: 1585; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
This is so true. Many or most don't have any idea their iaccessories won't work with the new iPhone. It was just luck that they retained the 3.5mm headset jack or am I talking too soon?
34. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"...or am I talking too soon?"
I expect we will know in 9 days, now.
44. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
i dont think so at all… it is just a progression of technology… i would much rather apple adopt the new smaller connector and buy new accessories than use the old one…
is it quite hilarious that a new android phone comes out every month making urs obsolete? its the same stupid argument..
29. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
do not talk about iPhone's features....it is 2 years behind Android so it is useless to talk about iPhone's features....just talk about

That's Wasup, mines the 15th. Too much alcohol that week to pay attention to a new toy.
7. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Frankly, this strikes me as a bogus leak. Apple is much more proficient at leaking than this amateur attempt. Based on all that has been 'reliably' leaked about the iPhone5, it should be a simple effort to produce a prototype unit (wasn't one making the rounds at IFA this past week?). Those who want to learn whatever truth remains to be told about the real iPhone5 just need to wait another 10 days and they will be set free.
8. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Also, little thing about the boot animation: the Apple logo doesn't zoom out toward the viewer like the actual iPhones do. And the matte black of the background on the connect to iTunes screen? Also strange that there would be no option to wirelessly activate; even the 4 gives the option to activate by hooking up to a wifi connection.
I mean, unless every single freaking leak was faked this time around, we are probably still looking at a mockup of the real deal, but this video is likely just a fake to garner attention.
27. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Damn I didn't see your post before I left my comment. But I was on the same note as you. Somethings is fishy if it requires the user to connect to iTunes. Good catch.
10. Cyan3boN (Posts: 446; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
seems like apple no longer pays its security guards!!!!!
17. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)
actually is it just me or is PhoneArena suddenly getting DoS Attack?
anyone getting a "server down" message when accessing phonearena right now?
23. Rocksteady (unregistered)
I think it's a different try like previous iphone forgotten in bar and picked up by a total stranger story.
This time the stranger got the phone without the new revolutionary data cable, and he's frightened apple will track him down.
This is a good story for a new tv serial.

At least its not being announced on September 18th, ill be far too busy playing Borderlands 2.
22. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
You know the most suspect thing about this, and I'm not saying it isn't real, is that since iOS 5 you don't need to connect to a computer or iTunes anymore.
42. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
true, but if its a beta phone I could see them having that disable in order to easily track a missing unit, but I think this might be the real stuff
you expect any names for the device? My bet.. wont be called iPhone 5
25. techguy22 (Posts: 227; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
oh no apple now invented 4inch screen phones...lawsuit coming up.
26. iLOVECELLPHONECOMMISSION (Posts: 2; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
so apple had a leak of the actual iphone5 a week and a half prior to the official release of it? thats actually really good, being that everyone else has leaks that are weeks, months, and even years before any official reveling
30. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
The back of the phone in this video is significantly different from all the leaks we've been seeing for the last couple of months.
Although I believe this is another fake, it's far more consistent with Apple's approach in comparison with these previous leaks.
Firstly, there are no glass bars on top and the bottom, which is simplicity of unified material that Apple still follows. Putting two glass bars on metal back as in previous leaks would be a redundancy for Apple.
Secondly, position of camera is now consistent with all previous iPhones. Its center is equally distanced from edges of the phone, and positioned in virtual center of edge fillet of iPhone, like in all previous models. Leaks before that had camera that was non-centered and arbitrary put there just to be in the "glass area", which is not Apple style.
Thirdly, the position of logo and text ("iPhone" and serial numbers) is now again like in previous iPhones and utilize the same font. Previous leaks have akwardly positioned those infos and logo and doesn't even use same, but modified font.
So, this could probably be closer to what we should expect. And far less exciting, but it's the Apple style: don't change much what is already good, no matter what others say about changing this just for the sake of change.
32. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
PS - glass bars on top and the bottom could however have their explanation. iPhone 4/4S used completely glass material, which allowed iPhone's back to be completely flat because glass is the toughest (in terms of scratches) material after diamond. If they use aluminum back, it will be prone to severe scratches over time when it's flat. So, putting two bars of glass material on top and the bottom that are slightly elevated over aluminum part would pretty much prevent this.
This one in the video has all-metal back. Maybe they came up with a more efficient solution in terms of coating.
31. iLOVECELLPHONECOMMISSION (Posts: 2; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
but with the phones, there is no better or worse, theres just "different"..... andriod this, apple that, who cares, all we do is instagram, facebook,tweet, play word games, email and text. what else do we need it to do?
33. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
hey it doesn't have a two tones design on the back, perhaps apple decided not to use that design

An eight-day firefighter strike came to an end last night (Monday), but it has been immediately followed by more action.
For the last eight days, two periods of Fire Brigades Union (FBU) industrial action have taken place between 6am and 8am and between 5pm and 7pm .
And although that is due to end this evening, from 7pm tonight firefighters will not work voluntary overtime, non-contractual overtime or any additional voluntary hours until further notice.
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said: "Firefighters have solidly observed the strike action over the past eight days; this has not been easy for them or their families, but all firefighters are aware what is at risk here.
"Firefighters cannot accept a deal which rips up the pension promises they were given and creates an unaffordable and unworkable pension which takes no account of the real work firefighters do and the fitness requirements which go with it.
"The campaign will continue until government ministers offer an alternative, affordable and workable pension scheme."
The union's executive council meets later this week and again next week to assess the latest developments and consider the next steps in the campaign.
During the hours of strike over the last eight days the fire service has received a total of 193 calls and attended 95 incidents. Many calls were duplicates to the same incident and some were of a minor nature where advice could be given.
There has been no loss of life or life-threatening injuries sustained during the strike period.
Chief Fire Officer Simon Pilling said: "Delivering a contingency plan that provided a resilient fire and rescue service for West Yorkshire over the eight consecutive days of strike action has been a tremendous challenge.
"I am hugely grateful to everyone who has been part of that plan, without whom we simply would not have been able to protect the public in the way that we have.
"I once again reiterate my plea for the Fire Brigades Union to meet with the Minister and for both to find a way to resolve this dispute."
The fire service covered the strike periods using contingency crews made up of non-striking fully qualified officers and Community Response Operatives (CROs).

With LTE in the starting blocks and the Connected Car increasingly taking shape, new alliances are in the offing. Volvo Car Group and Ericsson now have announced that they plan to jointly advance the technical development of innovations for automotive internet services. To the joint efforts, Volvo will bring in its expertise in driver behavior and traffic security requirements while Ericsson will contribute its consulting and systems integration.
Both companies plan to conjointly build the ecosystem around the connected car. The solution covers all Volvo Cars markets around the globe and is run as a Managed Service by Ericsson. Drivers will be able to download applications, create an on-line service booking and interact with partners through the Connected Vehicle Cloud built on Ericsson's Service Enablement Platform.
The partnership is focused on the rapid development of Volvo Cars' stand-alone scalable product architecture (SPA). However, connected car services will roll out in all new Volvo cars beforehand in order to position Volvo Cars with sophisticated solutions and services.

Martin Margiela Looks Back over Twenty Maison Years for Spring 2009
Martin Margiela Looks Back over Twenty Maison Years for Spring 2009
>> In what could very well be his last collection, given all the rumors about his exit, Martin Margiela went the retrospective route for his twentieth anniversary collection — it would be a very fitting end, no? All of the models were faceless — a nod to the designer's obsession with anonymity — and the house uniform, a white lab coat, came out in various forms, including during the final bow, when the entire staff emerged on the runway rather than Margiela himself. A hit parade of plastic bags, disco balls, bustier catsuits, Barbie clothes, and AIDS T-shirts led into the final look: a giant silk birthday cake, with two pairs of legs underneath. Was it Margiela's final look ever?

Despite the sudden onslaught of sexiness, the Little Miss Sunshine star, who posed for a series of nude photos with photographer Tyler Shields back in November, recently told E! News that she's not out to prove anything to anyone.
"I don't make these conscious decisions to do it to like prove to the world that I'm grown up. I think people see my work and see what I do and see that I'm grown up," she explained. "I do want to try different things, but its all for fun."
Still, it kind of feels like she's trying a little too hard to shed her child star image.
