Samsung Galaxy S III ? how sweet is it? ? LIFE SYMPHONY

Posted on June 28, 2012 by admin

With the Samsung Galaxy S III (S3), Samsung has done it again. For the third consecutive year, its flagship Galaxy phone is a tidy package of top-flight specs, approachable design, steady performance, and compelling pricing
With the latest version of Android, a whopping 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD screen and a whole suite of Apple-beating features, is the new Samsung Galaxy SIII the greatest phone ever?
Samsung launched a ?face recognition? feature on its latest phone in an effort to the make the smartphone experience more ?natural.? The phone uses its front camera to identify the user?s eye movement and ensures it never goes dark or switches off, while the user is looking at the phone.
Samsung has also improved its voice control feature with a sophisticated, ?Siri-like,? voice recognition system dubbed ?S voice.? The service allows users to make verbal demands to control their phone. Texts and emails can be dictated and photographs can be taken through voice commands using the feature.
The S3 also includes an NFC chip, which enables content sharing ? including video ? through tapping two phones together. The chip can also be used to make mobile payments.
The new ?Pop up Play? feature on the phone enables multitasking, allowing users to open a video in a window on screen, and then use other apps with the rest of the screen.
Pretty cool! We recommend it!

girlichef: Presto Pasta Nights #270 {roundup}

It's no secret that people love their pasta. ?Heck, people love noodles in all sizes, shapes, and forms. ?Comfort food. ?Simple meals. ?Versatile. ?Delicious. ?Sweet and Tangy. ?Colorful. ?Life-Saver. ?Hearty, yet light. ?Creamy. ?Zippy. ?Nutricious. ?Dependable. ?Just a few of the words and phrases used to decribe the pasta in this week's Presto Pasta Nights submissions. ? And each and every sentiment is true.

Contributions range from semolina-based favorites like rigatoni, macaroni, orzo, fusilli, and spaghetti to quinoa and kelp noodles to soba noodles to zucchini noodles.

We have hearty, meaty main dishes, veggie-laden dishes in creamy sauces (one just may include avocado), dishes with tofu, vegan dishes, and dishes that can be eaten as sides or piled high to make meals.

We have a raw dish. ?We have gluten-free dishes. ?There's even a salad in there. ?And the chile peppers were not forgotten this week, either.

Cheese sauce? Creamy sauce? ?Tomato-based sauce? ?Almond Butter based-sauce? ?Oh yeah, they're all here.

If you're ready for some pasta...for some noodles...for some inspiration for what to make in your kitchen this week -- look no further! ?Okay, a little further. ?Because that inspiration lies below...

------------------------------First up is a visually stunning?Sweet & Tangy Almond Noodle Delight?from Gluten Free Happy Tummy that isn't only easy on the eyes, but also on the tummy as it is?gluten-free, vegan, & body ecology diet friendly.

------------------------------

Next up, from Warteg Gaziantep is this?Cheesy Rigatoni?that some lucky soul received in their lunchbox. ?I only wish it had been my lunch box.

------------------------------
I have a real weakness for any dish with pressed and glazed tofu in it. ?And if you coat it and some soba noodles in a luscious sauce like this one from Truth Personified, my knees just buckle. ?Check out these?Hot and Sweet Glazed Tofu with Soba Noodles.
------------------------------

------------------------------
Cooking My Way through my CSA cooked up a delightful pasta salad her way - with whole wheat orzo, rapini, cannellini beans, almonds, lemon zest, and feta (for a start). ?I know I'd be delighted to try her?Rapini and Orzo Salad ...along with a glass of "knitting juice" please!
------------------------------
Deb over at Kahakai Kitchen is up to her usual shenanigans again. ?And by shenanigans, I mean veganizing a dish I already love and still making me want to eat it. ?Though I'm a happy carnivore, I'd be ecstatic to try Deb's?Salsa Mac-n-Cheeze (Vegan) . Seriously? ?YUM!
------------------------------
And for my next meal, I'll be heading over to Baker's Corner because I, too love beating this insane heating by making a tempting all-in-one meal, like this?Pasta with Zucchini and Ricotta Polpette. ?It may even make me forget that heat for while...

------------------------------

Culinary Adventures with Camilla julienned her way to an amazing gluten-free pasta option that includes not only zucchini, but also almonds, thyme, and mint. ?This ?Zucchini "Pasta" Salad w/ Almonds {raw} is another great idea for the dog-days of summer!

------------------------------

My first time hearing of kelp noodles was this week over at The Taste Space. ?I am so intrigued to try them, especially if they include a sauce that is both light and creamy. ?And contains avocados like this?Creamy Green on Green Pasta (Raw Kelp Noodles and Broccoli w/ a Creamy Lemon-Basil Whipped Avocado Sauce).

------------------------------

Nearing the end, we have this incredibly mouthwatering skillet full of?Chicken & Kale Pasta - Asian Style from PPN creator?Ruth from Once Upon a Feast. ?She was inspired to make it from many a different source...including detectives eating chinese takeout, Pinterest, a trip to the market, and a pantry scour. ?My kinda meal.

------------------------------
And to bring things full-circle, take a gander at this delicious mingling of Mexican and Italian all in one bowl, my?Pasilla Bolognese Spaghetti that I posted here at girlichef to kick things off a week ago. ?The chiles lend an earthy, almost raisin-esque note that when combined with a tomato base and finished with some crema is meal-time bliss.
------------------------------

Thanks so much to everybody who sent their noodle-filled dishes my way this week, it was a pleasure hosting Presto Pasta Nights for the third time! ?Be sure to send your noodle and pasta dishes over to PPN creator Ruth at Once Upon a Feast next week (ruth @ 4EveryKitchen . com), as she will be hosting the next round...round number 271!

And if you're looking for more pasta inspiration, you can check out ALL of the past Presto Pasta Nights roundups. ?Ummm, yeah. ?That would be 269 roundups before this one. ?Literally, THOUSANDS of dishes. ?Insane!

Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw Accused of Stalking Usher


Already squaring off against ex-wife Tameka Foster in court, Usher appears to be facing a new problem with a new woman.

The artist has obtained a temporary restraining order against Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw, claiming she's living in a dream world where Usher is her husband.

In court documents, Usher alleges that Darshelle appeared at his home in Georgia, pounding on the front door until police were called to the property. She then left the area, only to return the next day and tell cops that she was married to Usher and simply misplaced her keys. At this time, Darshelle was arrested.

In the above video, however, Darshelle denies all charges and says Usher has been giving her money for a long time, while also promising to help with her music career.

She plans to file a defamation charges against Usher.

Fiber Boosts Bowel Beneficial Bacteria

60-Second Science60-Second Science | Health

Dietary fiber upped gut numbers of anti-inflammatory Faecalibacterium and beneficial lactobacillus. Christopher Intagliata reports.

More 60-Second Science

You know what fiber's good for?to keep things moving smoothly downstairs. But it's not just for staying regular. Fiber can boost the number of beneficial bacteria in your gut, too. That's according to a study in the Journal of Nutrition. [Seema Hooda et al, 454 Pyrosequencing Reveals a Shift in Fecal Microbiota of Healthy Adult Men Consuming Polydextrose or Soluble Corn Fiber]

Researchers gave 20 men a daily snack bar to munch on. The bars had 21 grams of either polydextrose or soluble corn fiber?two fibers commonly added to cereal, pancake mixes and breakfast bars. After two weeks researchers took stool samples, and sequenced the DNA of bacteria living in them.

Turns out that extra fiber upped populations of Faecalibacterium?an anti-inflammatory bug that may protect the gut against inflammatory bowel syndrome. Fiber also increased the numbers of lactobacillus?the beneficial microbe in yogurt and probiotics. The researchers say these friendly bacteria may thrive when you eat fiber because you're supplying the bugs with what they prefer to eat.

Most Americans get only about 15 grams of fiber a day?half the recommended value. So instead of focusing on probiotics, to add new bacteria to your gut, the researchers say why not eat prebiotics like fiber, to feed the good guys already living there?

Twitter Reactions To Supreme Court Health Care Ruling

The Supreme Court upheld the part of the Affordable Care Act that requires individual insurance -- known as the individual mandate -- on Tuesday morning.

HuffPosts's Mike Sacks reported:

The controlling opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld the mandate as a tax, although concluded it was not valid as an exercise of Congress' commerce clause power. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined in the outcome.

There was huge reaction on Twitter to the ruling, from across the online health community. Check out the slideshow to see what they think of the high court decision:
