Askemos is a virtual space of communicating processes.
Proof for the states of these processes are held in blockchains. It is an
operating system for the new level in computer memory hierarchy
where units are blockchains. Their addresses are hashcodes
derived from their genesis block proofing their initial
integrity. Those blockchains may be updated according to a smart
contract held in the genesis block when transaction messages are
processed. There is exactly one contract per blockchain for
minimal interference between independent contracts. Blockchains
may create new chains and send transaction messages to other
chains upon update. Note that there is no currency build into the
core as currencies can readily be implemented in smart contracts.
In a more philosophical light the blockchains in Askemos space
are the originals and have identity while every copy in physical
memory can be understood as a projection from the virtual block
chain into the physical device. The original is clearly different
from all the derived copies while the latter have no such
relationship among each other.
Askemos eliminates the need for trust in digital
relationships – be it trust in physical components or in
Askemos is an autonomous meta-operating system for the clouds:
Ethical cloud computing for the future of digital due process and
Key features of the code ensure reliability when performing
digital transactions over distributed social networks.
In today's personal computing and cloud offerings, you must
trust that the system works reliably. Unfortunately, the
technology used today is fatally unreliable.
At some point, administrative personnel of unknown loyality and
physical machines that can be modified must be trusted. Abuse and
advanced persistent threats enable "sleeper agents" in the code
that can undermine missions at critical junctures.
Askemos is a concept and core set of principles (in technical
terms a protocol) that eliminates the need for trust in physical
machines or unethical people. It was published in the hope the
protocol may be adopted and incorporated into future software.
This enables trustworthy software to be designed that vigorously
protects inalienable human rights.
Askemos mirrors the way human societies overcame feudalism and
omnipowerful regents.
Due process: everything happens according to pre-defined
rules. Rules are code and contracts. These codes are
recursively based on code again down to the 1st contract, the
constitution. The same applies to program code.
Rights are inviolable; human rights are inalienable. We
acknowledge that infringement can happen- this is dealt with
via rule three:
Trustworthy facts are upheld by multilateral audit. Just as
humans seek others to witnesses to their transactions,
Askemos bears "digital witness" to these events. Askemos
actively replicates process execution- avoiding trust in
machines and their operators.

One of the biggest additions to the soon-to-be-released Nintendo DSi is the new DSiWare service, which is similar to WiiWare in that it allows players to download relatively inexpensive games straight to the handheld. But what kinds of games and applications can we expect? Siliconera has a list of the games that will be hitting the Japanese DSiWare this month, which should give an indication of what to expect when the service eventually comes to North America.
One of the more interesting titles is the release of Mr. Driller, the popular puzzle game from Namco. The version that will be hitting DSiWare looks like it will be very similar to the previous DS release for the series, Drill Spirits. The service will also be getting a majhong game, Ide Yousuke's Healthy Mahjong DSi, which will feature support for the NIntendo Wi-Fi Connection for online play. A pair of Art Style puzzle games will also be released, along with smaller versions of both Clubhouse Games and the upcoming 100 Classic Book Collection. The games range in price from 500 points to 800 ($5 to $8 dollars).
In addition to the games, there will also be a few small applications available on DSiWare. These include both a simple calculator that can do unit conversions—and comes in two different flavors: Animal Crossing and 8 bit Mario—and some sort of dictionary/clock hybrid. The applications are priced much lower compared to the games, with both clocking in at just 200 DSiWare points ($2).
While none of these games or applications have been confirmed for North America, it seems likely that we will see at least a few of them when the service is eventually rolled out over here. Now let's just cross our fingers for the announcement of a portable Virtual Console Super Mario Land.

I am currently taking a C level 2 course. The assignment is to create 4 arrays from information in a text file and sort through the arrays and print to a text file this information in descending order. This is the first time I have experienced arrays and I am having trouble writing code for this.
I understand how to declare the arrays and I know I need to use a for statement to sort but I am having trouble with the idea of sorting them.
The arrays are: employee ID, wage, hours, weekly pay. How do I sort the employee ID's into descending order and have the corresponding wage, hours, and weekly pay follow the ID number.
Any information on this would be helpful to me as I seem to be struggling with this.

Volunteer experts are a key ingredient to many successful public engagement efforts. Volunteer networks focused on astronomy and space include: 1) Solar System Ambassadors Program, 2) Night Sky Network of astronomy clubs, and 3) AAS Astronomy Ambassadors 1) The Solar System Ambassadors Program (SSA) is a public outreach program designed to work with motivated volunteers across the nation. These volunteers communicate the excitement of JPL's space exploration missions and information about recent discoveries to people in their local communities. For 2016, there are 700 Ambassadors in 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands and Guam bringing the excitement of space to the public. Ambassadors are space enthusiasts from various walks of life who are interested in providing greater service and inspiration to the community at large. 2) The Night Sky Network is a nationwide coalition of amateur astronomy clubs bringing the science, technology, and inspiration of NASA's missions to the general public. We share our time and telescopes to provide you with unique astronomy experiences at science museums, observatories, classrooms, and under the real night sky. 3) AAS Astronomy Ambassadors: The American Astronomical Society (AAS), in partnership with the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), members of the Center for Astronomy Education (CAE), and other organizations active in science education and public outreach (EPO), has launched a series of professional-development workshops and a community of practice designed to help improve early-career astronomers' ability to effectively communicate with students and the public. Called Astronomy Ambassadors, the program provides mentoring and training experiences for young astronomers, from advanced undergraduates to new faculty; it also provides access to resources and a network of contacts within the astronomy EPO community.
• The Solar System Ambassadors Program is sponsored by the JET PROPULSION LABORATORY in Pasadena, CA, an operating division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and a lead research and development center for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). • The Night Sky Network is sponsored and supported by the NASA/JPL Exoplanet Exploration public engagement program, publicly known as PlanetQuest. The Exoplanet Exploration Program encompasses several of the NASA extra-solar planet-finding missions, including the Keck Interferometer, the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI), Kepler, and the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute. Various other missions and projects have provided support. • The AAS Astronomy Ambassadors Program is sponsored by the The American Astronomical Society (AAS).

DOVER — The concerns about concussions and the long-term effects of football-related injuries are real. But banning football is not the answer, according to several local people close to the sport.
On Wednesday, two days after one member of the Dover School Board caused a stir by proposing to cut the sport at the high school, a number of area athletic officials chimed in on the debate.
The Board member, Dr. Paul Butler, cited concerns about football injuries as the rationale for his proposal. The proposal did not generate further discussion at the meeting and is likely to face considerable opposition should it come up for a vote.
Nevertheless, the proposal has caused a stir as numerous national news outlets picked up on the story, creating the perception that Dover is at the crossroads on the national debate on the safety of football.
"I don't think football's going anywhere," said Somersworth football coach Dan Hodsdon. "Certainly not here on the Seacoast. We have a strong football community here. A lot of people are making a bigger deal about it than it is. It's one guy. I respect him for saying what he feels, but I don't think it's the opinion of the majority."
Hodsdon said concerns about concussions are real but should not ultimately lead to the demise of the sport.
"It's no bigger an issue now than it was when I played," Hodsdon said. "As long as you're taught the proper techniques, you're going to head off those concerns. It's a violent sport and concussions are going to happen. To me it's a minimal risk. It doesn't happen all that often and thank God they're not numerous."
University of New Hampshire athletic director Marty Scarano said football is an inherently violent sport, and that coaches and players need to be vigilant about helmet-to-helmet hits.
"At the very fiber of football is physical contact," Scarano said. "If people are educated on concussions, they realize that some of these situations can't be annulled by helmets or equipment because there are torsional forces at play when people get hit in particular ways."
Scarano said further research on concussions will dictate what the long-term effects of the injury are. In the meantime, parents and athletes will have serious choices to make about whether or not to play football, because the game itself is likely not to change.
"You can't take the intrinsic core of what the sport is out of the sport," Scarano said. "Or it will no longer be that sport."
Portsmouth athletic director Rus Wilson said measures to prevent concussions are in place at all New Hampshire high schools. Eliminating football is not a rational solution to the problem of concussions in sports.
"You start eliminating sports, it'll be football this week and lacrosse and soccer next week," Wilson said. "It's an unfortunate part of sports that anyone gets injured, but that's part of it."
Under a new state law signed last summer by Gov. John Lynch, coaches and other athletic officials who suspect that an athlete has sustained a concussion are required to remove him or her from play immediately and the athlete will have to get written authorization from a health care provider and a parent before returning.
Wilson said Portsmouth High School has a concussion-prevention protocol that goes beyond what the law requires.
"We make our kids sit out additional time," Wilson said. "We always err on the side of caution. Sometimes we add another week or so that they have to sit out to make sure there are no ill effects of concussions, before they can go back out and play."
Ryan Brown, athletic director at St. Thomas Aquinas and a former football coach at St. Luke's School in New Canaan, Conn., said he understands the reasoning behind Dr. Butler's proposal but disagrees with the idea of eliminating the sport.
"There are a lot of things we have in place now to deal with concussions," Brown said. "We baseline test every athlete before they play and we have a protocol for what happens when a kid is suspected of having a concussion. I can't say you'll ever prevent concussions 100 percent. That's the nature of sports. But I think we do a good job if and when it does happen."
Oyster River High School does not have a football team, but athletic director Corey Parker said he doesn't foresee a trend where school districts will ban the sport.
"I think educating our coaches and trainers on proper protocol is the right approach," Parker said. "We had four concussions in swimming last year. You have to deal with it in a sensitive manner to make sure everyone's on the same page."
Parker, who before coming to Oyster River was an assistant AD at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, said he was surprised to hear of Dr. Butler's proposal.
"If it was a heavier concern to more people, then it would have been raised before," Parker said. "I understand the emotions tied to concussions, but at the same time it's about educating proper technique. Concussions, broken ankles, broken legs, can all happen with high school sports."
Banning football not the answer, say ADs and coaches
DOVER — The concerns about concussions and the long-term effects of football-related injuries are real. But banning football is not the answer, according to several local people close to the sport.

UPDATE: You can now see video of the entire session.
It wasn't that long ago that Research in Motion defined smartphones: You either owned a BlackBerry, or your phone wasn't smart.
Fast-forward to present tense, though, and it's a different story. Depending on whom you talk to, RIM has either been passed by Apple's iPhone, or is about to be. Google's Android is coming up just as fast, too.
RIM is trying to fight back with new phones that look a lot like the competitions', and by venturing away from phones altogether, with its new PlayBook tablet, too. Will that work? Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis makes his case to Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.
Live Blog
Mike Lazaridis shows up onstage with a PlayBook.
He's walking through various apps.
Switching quickly between HD video, different apps, via multitasking.
"This is the way we like to work… it's as easy as just sliding between the apps that you have loaded"
"Why this size," asks Kara
At 7 inches, "it's just the perfect size", says Mike.
So no plans to make it in a bigger size, asks Walt. [Pause] We have plans for different sizes, says Mike.
Mike walks through multiple platforms, languages that the tablet supports. "This is a complete mobile computing platform."
Time to sit in the comfy chairs.
University of Waterloo seems to be responsible for most of RIM's tech, says Mike, who is an alum. "All of this is coming together to set up BlackBerry for the next decade."
When is this launching? "Tracking first quarter", says Mike.
Walt asks if PlayBook system will migrate into BlackBerry.
Mike: We've wanted to do real mobile computing since we got into this. Have been constrained by tech limits, but … [sort of unclear what he's saying here]
Walt cuts him off: There's a growing consensus that BlackBerry is "looking old compared to some of the other platforms." So: If PlayBook is future of the BlackBerry, when does this OS get there?
Mike: Answers that BlackBerry OS is about multicore products. [?]
Kara Swisher is also confused.
So does the tablet become the phone?
Mike tries another tack, talking about BlackBerry in worldwide markets. In 2G markets, it's becoming dominant. Also successful in 3G markets.
PlayBook OS allows us "jump into the next decade of mobile computing."
Walt is confused as well.
Are you saying that you essentially stop paying as much attention to improving BlackBerry phones, and put next generation of tech into tablets?
4:37 pm: Colleague Ina Fried has a post up with more on the PlayBook over at her Mobilized blog..
Mike: "Rather than trying to be all things to all people," we can present the best product for the market or the situation.
Mike: "Three distinct market areas. This is brand new. This is a paradigm shift."
The three: Phones, superphones and tablets.
"But it's not going to happen overnight. And you have to think about this as a global player," and you can't abandon markets that don't have 3G or 4G, and that can't afford high-end stuff.
"So all of this will be called BlackBerry"? Asks Walt. Yes, says Mike.
Kara: Talk about Apple and Google, please. And do you think BlackBerry lagged? What happened for you?
Mike: "We were focusing on a global market," and as a result, BlackBerry is becoming No. 1 around the world. Strategy for the future, etc.
Mike: Apple and Android are trying to take a mobile phone OS and upgrade it for a tablet. We're starting with a bona-fide mobile computing platform for tablets.
Kara: How do you react to all the stories burying you?
Mike: We've been at this a long time. Goes on to explain his history.
Walt cuts him off: Great, but "there's a widespread tangible feeling that you've been left behind."
Kara: I used to love my Blackberry, but I don't have one anymore. "It was an abandonment of it."
Walt: "Something has happened" over the years to "your iconic leadership."
Kara: "Not in Sumatra," but here, in the United States.
Mike: We're running a business. We invented the smartphone. We decided to go global.
Walt: So did you decided to chain yourself to lowest common denominator technology?
Mike: Technical discussion of multicores. Says competitors learning how big a market there is. We built our own technology, etc.
Rattles off tech certifications. Walt: "I don't know what those mean."
Kara: Back to the competitive landscape, please.
Mike: Focusing on strength–enterprise and security. Military, police, etc. Reliability and security.
Walt: So why are you running all these consumer ads?
Mike: "Because the BlackBerry has crossed over!"
Walt: Here's the problem with enterprise–plenty of professionals now want to pick their own phones, like Apple and Android.
Mike: "We didn't go out and try to make BlackBerry a consumer device. It crossed over on its own."
Kara: Please rank your competition.
Mike: We're the best, of course!
"We're all using Flash on our PCs. We're all using Flash on our Macs. Why wouldn't we expect Flash to run our tablet….There's all this content out there. Why would you limit yourself?"
Walt: OK, so that's a differentiator. But Apple is selling lots of Flash-less tablets.
Mike: "Really early days, Walt."
Walt: Price? Mike: No answer. And when will the Playbook OS get into phones? ML: No real answer.
Mike's summary of RIM's position: "This is a huge market, and we have a front-row seat, and this is all our own intellectual property."
Can you update us on BlackBerry 6 OS in the market, and how are you doing at attracting developers?
Mike: BlackBerry 6 available on the Torch, the Bold, coming soon to Curves. "It really is the foundation of us going forward on the BlackBerry."
Q: I own a Torch. The processor is slow, and screen is low-res. I don't understand connection between this and the PlayBook. "I don't really understand it….how can you deliver this phone without the best technology available today?"
"Why are you demoting my phone?"
Mike: BlackBerry Torch is a launch vehicle for BlackBerry 6. But you can make that argument in reverse… [sorry, can't follow what he's saying]. The next generation of BlackBerry will be great. "I don't see any dichotomy here. I just see a natural evolution here."
Q: I really don't think my Torch is as fast and good as you say it is.
Mike: Seems to be arguing that phones limited by battery issues.
Q: Consumers say security isn't important, until it is, right?
Mike: Right!
Enterprise clients understand how important security is. But now that consumers are using phones for things like banking, NFC, they are getting much more sensitive to security. "And BlackBerry will lead the way."
Q: Please talk about Apple and Google getting into enterprise. "Do you feel that as a threat?"
Mike: "I see a thriving industry." Metaphor about interstate highways and competition. "Today, we have several car manufacturers out there. We're going to find the same thing with smartphones."
"When you consider how large the market is today" and then realize that the market is moving into smartphones, "that's a great recipe for business."
Q: You bought The Astonishing Tribe. What's the plan there?
Mike: TAT is an amazing company. Exciting ability to add 150 top designers, developers to BlackBerry as we're "accelerating into the next century."
Done. Thanks and good night! Drinks upstairs!
UPDATE: Here's a highlight reel of Lazaridis' appearance. We'll have the entire clip in the days to come:

Maybe I'm old school in thought, however, Sascha's most recent blog, along with some other things that have struck a cord with me, really got me thinking about one simple question, "WHAT HAPPENED TO HAVING A THICK SKIN?!"
I was ridiculed mercilessly for living with my Grandmother while I was child, for having second hand clothing, for going through someone else's trash to find bike's to clean-up, cannibalize, and slap together just to have a bike. I got my ass kicked on an
First, to anyone who has read my Draining Magic blogs, I apologize, as I discovered to my dismay that in Part 2, I posted my system for an alternate spell casting system for which I have not worked out all of the bugs as of yet.
Here is what I came up with, something which has worked out well so far in the limited playtests I have done.
1. No more # of spells per level per day. Instead, each spellcasting class has a Maximum Spell Level Known. This is based upon the spell
Ok, as I said previously, magic that ultiamtely has a draining effect on the caster has always resonated with me. Well, here is what I've created (hopefully original).
A few terms, used for convenience:
Spells - cover arcane and divine spells, as well as psionic powers.
Magic - covers arcane and divine magic, as well as psionics.
Caster - all classes that cast or manifest
First, a nod to 4E, as I seperate spells into quick and dirty spells
Something I have been working on for awhile is modifying some mechanics in regards to magic - be it arcane, divine, or (for those of you that lump it all in one) psionics.
The Inspiration: Something that has always resonated with me in regards to magic, is that it is taxing in some fashion; that the human or demi-human body isn't truly capable of constantly handling the energies being channeled through or manipulated by the individual. Shadowrun had a nice drain mechanic to simulate
When I first joined P&P, I was in the midst of gamer burn out looking for something - anything to reinvigorate my gaming passion. I'm the type of person, that probably over thinks things, and as is typical, have spent a good deal of time over the last year and half, trying to figure out why gaming just wasn't enjoyable for me. Recently, thanks to some insight from my wife - who happens to loathe the fact that I game, but figures if I enjoy it who is she to judge. She made mention that she's

About a third of purchasing and supply executives say they plan to increase capital expenditures in 2018 compared to 2017, according to the Institute for Supply Management's semiannual forecast released Monday.
Manufacturers expect to increase their capital spending by about 10 percent on average in 2018, a significant rise from the 2.7 percent bump predicted at the end of last year. Non-manufacturers expect to see a 6.8 percent increase in spending, down slightly from the 7 percent predicted in December.
The most frequently cited cause in the ISM survey for the enhanced capital spending was the strong economy. Of the 35 percent of manufacturing executives who said they have increased their spending plans in the last six months, nearly 70 percent cited the "general business outlook." Just 14 percent cited the tax bill that was signed into law in December. Among the 31 percent of non-manufacturing executives who plan to increase capital outlays, 58 percent cited the business environment, while 19 percent cited the tax overhaul.

State ed board looks at defining 'college and career readiness'
The Kansas State Board of Education will be asked next week to begin thinking about a formal definition of the term "college- and career-ready."
That's just one of the issues the state board will discuss during its regular monthly meeting Tuesday and Wednesday in Topeka.
In recent years, that term has come to dominate discussions about educational standards and policy at all levels: Teachers and principals are told that students graduating high school need to be ready to enter college or the workforce; states are being urged by the federal government to adopt standards throughout their curriculum that are designed to ensure students are college- and career-ready; and the Obama administration has begun tying certain categories of federal funding to the adoption of such standards.
But in Kansas, as in many other states, officials say the term does not yet have a formal definition.
"We believe that it is time for the State Board of Education to officially adopt a Kansas definition of College- and Career-Ready to help guide this agency, and the field, as we move forward over the next several years," deputy education commissioner Brad Neuenswander wrote in a memo explaining the item on the board's agenda.
He said several groups representing the agency's staff, school administrators and local boards of education have spent much of the past year working on a definition for Kansas. They will share their recommendations with the state board Tuesday.
A formal definition could play an important role in shaping the state's curriculum standards as they come up for periodic review.
In 2010, the board formally adopted the national Common Core State Standards in English language arts and math, which are supposed to prepare students in those subject areas for college and careers. In 2013, the state board is scheduled to adopt new or updated standards for science and social studies.
It's not yet clear whether the board will act immediately to accept the recommendation or defer action to a later date.
In other business, the state board will:
• Receive an update on progress by a coalition of states to develop new science standards. A public draft of the "Next Generation Science Standards" is scheduled for release on Friday.
• Hear updates from Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker on the development of a new method of evaluating teachers and administrators that includes tying those evaluations to student performance.
• Receive a briefing from DeBacker about a task force she appointed to examine achievement gaps in Kansas.
• Review a marketing campaign the agency was directed to undertake to promote the state's new career and technical education initiative.
• Hear an update about recent changes at the Kansas Learning Network, a program that provides support and technical assistance to turn around under-performing schools and districts.
• Hear a presentation about the teaching of cursive writing in Kansas.

Hollywood Union Members Sign Petition Asking MPAA & Hollywood Unions To Stop Supporting PIPA/SOPA
from the losing-your-own-members deptThe opposition to SOPA and PIPA continues to come from all sorts of places. The latest interesting one? Union members who work on movies and TV... whose bosses signed them up as supporters of SOPA and PIPA against their wishes. They've put together a petition urging the MPAA, IATSE, IBT, WGA, SAG, DGA, and AFTRA to formally oppose both SOPA and PIPA, noting that it would be a barrier to innovation that Hollywood desperately needs, wouldn't actually stop infringement, and would also be an online security nightmare. The groups listed in the petition are basically all of the groups that have been major supporters of the bill, but as some of the signatories note, they want no part of this. Just a few examples:
I'm a proud Local One and USA829 member, and am appalled to find my union supporting this act. While I agree that piracy is bad, this act is ill-designed by legislators with no clue how the internet works, and guided by greedy corporations who have ulterior motives, and who have a track record of abusing the DMCA the same way they'll abuse this.And, another one from a studio grip:
It will do nothing to stop it, will give unfettered power prone to abuse to corporations who don't deserve it, will short circuit due process, and will have huge unintended negative effects on the internet as a whole.
Proud Local 80 Motion Picture Studio Grip and I'm signing because these bills go too far. I'd like to think that IATSE is just trying to do what's best for its members. But, I think once they dig past the surface they will see the same thing I did. And that is that these bills need to be quashed. We need another way to deal with piracy.Once again, for all the talk of widespread "support" of SOPA and PIPA, it seems to be crumbling in every direction, including from within the groups who have acted as if these bills were absolutely necessary.

The Mapleson Cylinders - Program Notes
|Band 5
(a) Massenet: LE CID--Act II: Infanta's Alleluia fragment
Nellie Melba or Suzanne Adams (s), L'Infante
Metropolitan Opera Orchestra--Luigi Mancinelli
or Phillippe Flon
This fragment is found at the end of the cylinder containing the Suzanne Adams Faust Trio recording (Side 1/Band 10)--indeed, the sonic difficulties of that recording probably result from its having been recorded over an imperfectly shaved cylinder. Though not from the January 16, 1901 Cid performance (see Side 3/Band 9), this could be from any of four others: in 1900-01, the matinee of January 19 (Melba/Mancinelli) or the evening of February 8 (Adams/Mancinelli), or from the following season, February 19 and March 4 (both Adams/Flon).
(b) Arditi: Parla Vals excerpt: Introduction
Marcella Sembrich (s) or Fritzi Scheff (s) (?)Metropolitan Opera Orchestra--(?)
Date unknown
The opening bars of Arditi's waltz, recorded at the same speed as the coda (Side 4/Band 10) but in a different aural perspective, this is found at the beginning of the cylinder containing the Marilly Aida excerpt (Side 5/Band 6), which was presumably recorded over it, indicating that this bit of Parla must predate January 31, 1903. The only performance of Parla documented by the revised Metropolitan Opera Annals is by Fritzi Scheff, at a concert on December 14, 1902--but that would be the only known Mapleson recording before the first of the year, and from a season during which he is not otherwise known to have recorded Sunday-evening concerts. Other possibilities, probably undocumentable: Sembrich, from another performance of Fille, recorded from another perspective--or perhaps an unprogrammed encore from a Sunday-evening concert? Given that the singer doesn't even get one phrase out before the recording breaks off, this certainly ranks as one of the lesser Mapleson mysteries.

Phone Scoop Review
May 1, 2011 by Eric M. Zeman
Verizon's second Long Term Evolution 4G phone, the Samsung Droid Charge, is a huge, spaceship-sized device that represents all the promise of things to come. Does it fulfill those promises? read review ›
User Reviews
Average Ratings
Good work Samsung and Droid!
1. The screen size
2. The battery is decent in comparison to other android phones
3. Camera is amazing for a phone
4. Screenshots are easily captured
5. 4G lite is so quick! And auto so battery doesn't wear
6. Texting is easy for all touch
7. Sound quality is good
8. Front facing camera!!
1.Really cant think of too many at this time
I have had probably over 60 phones. I love this one. Besides the Iphone this is my favorite.
Nice Work VZW and Samsung!
Wow! I have had this device for about a month and a half now. I wanted to use it long enough to give an honest review..
The 4G itself is truly enough to sell this phone. Lets face it, if you are like me, you spend about 60% of the time with data and 40% of the time with voice.
I find the voice quality to be excellent.
The screen is in a class by itself. Right up there with the iPhone 4. The bigger screen truly gives the web browsing a whole new level of surfing the web.
The slick style also makes this phone very attractive to look at. I get a lot more questions over what phone I have then ever before, which is sad.... ITS A PHONE PEOPLE, NOT A HOUSE OR SUV!!
The 150,000 android apps and open market make this device my choice over the iPhone4. It is just waaaay more customizable and cant live without those widgets!
If you are looking for a device that covers the whole ice rink and covers all bases.. get this device!
AD reviews continues below...
Fast Phone, Amazing Screen, Great Features, Solid Feel
I'm a phone junky and average switching phones about every nine months. I think I've actually found the keeper for a while.
I'm calling this one "great" in all of these categories:
- screen brightness and color
- reception
- call quality
- app running and stability
- button feel
- overall solid phone feel
- build quality
- camera and photo quality
- Swype
- Voice-to-text translation that I use when driving
- GPS connection
- Call, notification, and music volume
I'll give it a "pretty darn good" for battery life. I've had the Incredible and briefly tried the Thunderbolt, so I am well-versed in watching a battery drain at a senseless rate. (-;
My thoughts on some of the negatives that you may have heard/read about:
- LED Notification: I actually prefer using the NoLED app over having a single light. With the latest versions, I now only now know if I received, for example, a text versus an email. But I also know from whom I received the text as the app displays the person's contact photo.
- Single-core Processor: It's good enough to allow me to navigate with Google Maps, play music blue-toothed to my car stereo, and surf the web. Admittedly, I don't do any crazy gaming, but this thing moves along just fine. My main concern with the upcoming dual-core processors is that they'll be battery suckers. And let's face it, we barely get enough decent usage out of smartphone batteries anyway these days.
I guess that's about it. Great phone, great features, great form, great function.
Best 4G phone by leaps and bounds
I went with the Samsung Charge after 'test driving' the Thunderbolt for a couple of weeks. When comparing the two, the Charge comes ahead in nearly every aspect, and where it doesn't, merely breaks even.
-Super AMOLED Plus screen- just beautiful.
-The Charge has good battery life for a smart phone.
-Fantastic camera- and camcorder, even in dark conditions.
-I have been tethering with a MacBook Pro and a Toshiba with no problem.
-Froyo- hopefully there is a 2.3 update
-No LED indicator- that is an easy fix, though.
Overall, the Samsung Droid Charge is an amazing phone, good voice quality, few instances of apps needing to force close, and no power cycling. I would pick this phone over any other 4G LTE phone that Verizon has.
Awesome Phone !!
After 8 years of Windoze Mobile devices, I have to say this phone IS THE BOMB. I find most of the complaints are from people who either haven't taken the time to figure it all out and/or were biased to begin with. Best display in the industry, lightening fast on 4G, adequate speed on 3G, great camera, great music player, and very easy to use. The battery life complaints stem from the fact that over 90% of the drain is from powering the screen. So given the fact that youâre almost always playing with it (no pun intended), the screen is almost always lit, and the faster the battery drains. Installation of NOLED from the Marketplace provides the indicator for missed calls, text & email notification, and charging that Samsung left out.
The MUST HAVE add-ons include the Desktop Multimedia Charger w/extra battery, the Shell/Holster Combo which gives the phone a handy kickstand like the Thunderbolt, and a screen protector. An $ saving assortment of Genuine Samsung headsets & chargers are available on ebaY. I bought a Samsung brand AC charger there for $4.95 and a Samsung brand Car charger for $6.99 versus $20-$30 each from Verizon direct. The AC and car chargers seem to charge the battery a little more rapidly than the USB connection, so it's a good idea to keep one of each handy.
Though there's a bit of a learning curve, this phone can compete with the iPhone on practically all fronts. Itâs not only faster then the currently available iPhone 4, but Iâve been able to surf and talk SIMULTANEOUSLY even when running on 3G. Thereâs a facility to turn off 4G to help conserve battery power. If thereâs software for the iPhone that tickles your fancy, chances are youâll find it in the Android Marketplace too, and often for free. Notice how Apple is running all those âIf You Donât Have an iPhone .â¦â ads on TV? Well guess what Apple, I found something at least as good if not better.
After 2 weeks of ownership, Iâd still buy this phone again in a heartbeat.
this is my second droid phone from the original droid.was going to wait for the bionic but i could not get out of my head on how this phone felt and the amazing screen display.i would highly reccommend this phone.it is extremely fast,easy user friendly and light weight.bought the optional black case from verizon and it surprisingly had a kick stand on the back.this phone does everything i need it to do for me.don't need dual core processor personally.i enjoy music player thru tunewiki etc..installed no-led from market and now have a notification light for text messages and set my notification sound.so far so good.thanks for reading...try it for a week if in doubt.
Amazing phone
My battery lasts about 12 hours a day with me constantly on it with 4g automatic on. The screen is better than my galaxy s fascinate screen which is itself an awesome screen. I personally like the shape of the phone. the physical buttons took me a day or two to get used to coming from the touch buttons. I would recommend this phone over any other verizon 4g phone except maybe the bionic which may not actually ever come out lol.
Excellent Phone
I love this phone. The Super amoled plus display measures 4.3" and a 32 gig micro-SD card comes standard. The battery life is exceptional for a 4g device -- I've been able to get through a full day without having to charge the phone mid-day. The camera is pretty good, too, as long as you realize it's not ever going to replace a good point-and-shoot or SLR. The reception is pretty good and the call quality is clear. I've had one dropped call in 8 days. Contrary to what I read in one review, it does not have to be re-booted once it loses a 4g signal in order to get back on to the 4g signal. The Verizon 4g network is still suffering through some growing pains but I've still been able to get download speeds between 20 and 50 times faster than 3g. In my mind, that's definitely worth the extra $50 or $100 this phone is likely to cost you over any 3g only device. I downloaded a 2-hour movie in about 5 minutes while on 4g.
It doesn't have a dual core processor and it does have minor issues navigating certain flash-intensive sites. It's also priced a little high through Verizon at $299, but if you have a Costco near you (or catch it on sale at Amazon or somewhere else) it can be had for a regular price of $249 with a mail-in rebate for the activation fee and a free case, car charger, and ear bud. There's also a $25 Samsung Media hub credit offer in the box. Not too bad of a deal for this device. Better yet, Verizon still has unlimited data plans available so it might not be a bad time to lock into a contract.
Great Droid.
Pros, I will make this short, this phone is the ultimate thought my HTC incredible was the best, which i had no problems and it was a great phone, but the Samsung Droid charge impresses me so much, it is so fast and the screen is so perfect. Can actually see the screen in the direct sunlight,this is amazing. Call quality is so clear and no dropped calls. Best phone i have ever had.
Cons: There is no led to let you know that the battery is charging, but there are free aps for that. But when battery is charaged you will see an icon in upper left that lets you know it is charged..
Amazing phone
In love with this phone, great cameras. amazing screen, very light, lightning fast and an unlimited amount of features. Recommended for anyone who wants a reliable and fast smart phone that can do just about anything.

Ozone News:
Ozone Chrono - High Performance De-Power Foil For All Surfaces
Break new boundaries with the ultra high-performance Chrono, Ozone's first closed-cell de-power foil kite.
Our aim was to create the ultimate light wind performance kite for all terrain. Powerful, fast and consistently forward flying, the Chrono is a light wind freeride boosting machine that also excels in racing on the water, land or snow.
The Chrono is at the pinnacle of technical foil design and is Ozone's first production kite designed with our new re-modeled CAD software; the results are impressive. We used our extensive knowledge in wing development and drew on our history in aerodynamics to create a no expense spared cutting edge foil kite.
Design – The Chronos lightweight double surface design is combined with a high-aspect ratio of 7.0 and an incredible 47 cells, resulting in extreme flight efficiency. The aspect ratio has been calculated to be an optimum match with the profile for maximum performance. A high number of cells mean the ribs are positioned close together, creating ultra smooth surfaces with less drag and maintaining a clean profile.
L.E Profile Reinforcements – The Leading Edge is reinforced with flexible lightweight plastic battens to maintain the shape of the profile during angle of attack changes and turbulent airflow.
Internal Straps – Newly calculated internal span-wise straps distribute load across the sail evenly and effectively, while also maintaining a cohesive internal balance controlling the high aspect ratio.
High Performance Bridle Lines – To keep parasitic drag to a minimum we have used Edelrid performance line. This line is ultra high quality, non-stretch with a reduced diameter helping achieve our goal of maximum performance.
High Performance Materials – High-tenacity sail cloth with extremely low porosity values and an overall lightweight enabled us to further stabilise the canopy and maximise fast flight characteristics.
If you are looking to get the most out of your light wind sessions, the Chrono will peak your experience. With incredible upwind performance, low-end grunt and huge float in jumps it will have you ripping!
The Chrono is for experienced riders or riders with previous foil kite experience. It is not difficult to fly but there are techniques required to fly a high aspect ratio foil kite. Riding on snow or land is easy, with plenty of power and handling in light winds to be clocking high speeds and long airtime.
On the water with a Twin-tip the Chrono is a light wind monster; loads of power, easy to jump and stable. Due to the abundance of power and efficiency gaining upwind ground is ridiculously easy, in light wind its impressive how high and floaty jumps can be with the Chrono. No question at all, this is a pop and float machine, just edge hard and send it, too easy!
If you race - water, land or snow you need to have a serious look at one of these. The Chrono has all the technology you can imagine. The upwind performance is blazing and it can also hold a very deep downwind line. One other noticeable benefit is how much easier it is to tack when riding with a Foil board or Course board. This is thanks to the longer lifting period the Chrono gives you during that critical tacking moment compared to an LEI.
The Chrono is a closed cell foil and has great water re-launch, but we recommend that you keep it flying and out of the water if possible! A drainage system on the wing tip allows any water that may have entered the kite to drain out.
The Chrono features a simple yet effective front line flag out safety. After releasing to the flag out safety you should check the speed system, bridle lines and your flying lines for twists before restart.
The Chrono is not a wave kite and should not be used in waves.

Interesting deals by the Pirates at Saturday's trading deadline. Gone are:
Bobby Crosby, SS (to Diamondbacks) .224/.301/.295
Ryan Church, OF (to Diamondbacks) .182/.240/.312
DJ Carrasco, P (to Diamondbacks) 3.88 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 7.3 K/9
Octavio Dotel, P (to Dodgers) 4.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 10.8 K/9
$500,000 cash (to Dodgers)
Javier Lopez, P (to Giants) 2.79 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, 5.1 K/9
The pitchers will be missed. All were effective and part of a strong bullpen. Crosby and Church were ineffective to put it nicely. The thing that all of these players have in common is that none of them were part of the long term plan and all are (or should be) easily replaceable for next season. In return the Pirates received:
Chris Snyder, C (from Diamondbacks) .231/.352/.426
Pedro Ciriaco, SS (from Diamondbacks) (AAA) .259/.278/.392
$3,000,000 cash (from Diamondbacks)
James McDonald, P (from Dodgers) (AAA) 4.41 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 8.1 K/9
Andrew Lambo, OF (from Dodgers) (AA) .271/.325/.420
John Bowker, OF (from Giants) (AAA) .310/.388/.594
Joseph Martinez, P (from Giants) (AAA) 3.32 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 7.2 K/9
That's a Ryan Doumit clone with better D, 2 rotation candidates, one OF who could come up now, one young OF who projects very well, a toolsy SS prospect, AND a wad of dough. If there's anything not to like here I can't see it. For more analysis and detailed breakdown on the young guys check the blogroll to the left. There have been several good articles written since Saturday.

LOS ANGELES — With a wrecked cruise ship still half submerged off the coast of Italy and Europe mired in economic troubles, the world's cruise line industry has been navigating turbulent waters.
LOS ANGELES — With a wrecked cruise ship still half submerged off the coast of Italy and Europe mired in economic troubles, the world's cruise line industry has been navigating turbulent waters.
Industry leaders and analysts say the $37 billion industry is slowly rebounding from the crash of the Costa Concordia on rocks near the Tuscan island of Giglio in January and Europe's economic woes.
With the peak cruise booking period set to begin in January, industry executives say cruise trip reservations seem to be on the rise. A survey of 300 travel agents in North America in July found that 64 percent expected bookings in 2012 to surpass last year's numbers.
"People generally understand the tragic Concordia incident was an extraordinary event," said Christine Duffy, president and chief executive of the Cruise Lines International Association, a trade group for the world's largest cruise lines. "I believe travelers recognize that cruising is one of the safest, affordable and enjoyable vacation experiences available today."
The Concordia accident seems to have had only a temporary effect on passenger bookings, and barely dented bookings by U.S. cruise passengers.
The ship, owned by a subsidiary of Miami-based Carnival Corp., struck rocks Jan. 13 and flipped on its side, killing 32 people. A salvage company hired to re-float the ship said the liner won't be removed until spring at the earliest.
In the last three months of 2011 — just before the accident — passenger booking numbers reported by the cruising association jumped nearly 13 percent compared with the same period in 2010. But in the first three months of 2012, the number of passengers who booked cruises rose only 7.2 percent, according to the trade group.
The same slowdown in cruise booking was noted in the financial reports for Royal Caribbean International and Carnival, the world's two largest cruise line companies. Immediately after the Concordia disaster, bookings dropped about 5 percent for Royal Caribbean and nearly 10 percent for Carnival compared with the same period in 2011.
But by the beginning of summer, financial reports for Royal Caribbean and Carnival showed booking numbers had improved, helped by new package deals and the launch of several new ships.
Cruise bookings among Europeans, who are struggling with high unemployment rates and a festering debt crisis, have dropped, according to industry reports. But the decline in European bookings has been offset by strong sales among U.S. vacationers, who represent as much as 50 percent of the industry's passengers.
"The steady drumbeat of negative news emanating out of Europe is certainly having an impact," Richard D. Fain, chairman and chief executive of Royal Caribbean International, said in a statement. "As a result, we are seeing pluses and minuses in the different geographic markets. North America is holding up reasonably well. Asia is a big plus but Europe is a pretty consistent minus."
Analysts from Wells Fargo Securities issued reports in August, saying the signs of recovery for Carnival were "encouraging." They predicted improved profit for Royal Caribbean in the next two years.
In the wake of the Concordia disaster, most cruise lines resisted lowering prices and instead pushed package deals such as cruise trips that included $50 onboard credit, a free dinner for two or pre-paid gratuities, according to cruise experts.
"For the most part, the cruise lines held pricing pretty steady," said Michelle Fee, co-founder of Florida-based Cruise Planners, one of the nation's largest travel companies specializing in cruise trips.
The deals helped attract passengers from the United States.
"The impact of the Concordia on North America was almost nonexistent," said Stewart Chiron, a cruise expert and founder of the website Cruiseguy.com.
Still, some cruise ship passengers say the Concordia accident did make them think twice about taking a cruise trip.
"I was concerned about safety after the Costa Concordia disaster, and I was afraid I would end up eating cafeteria food for a week and coming home with buffet body," said Eric Rose, a public relations executive from Los Angeles, whose wife suggested a Caribbean cruise this summer for the couple and their two teenage boys.
But Rose said the family's seven-day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas this summer changed his mind about cruises. He spent about $8,000 on the trip, saving $4,000 to $6,000 on previous family vacations to the Bahamas and Hawaii.
"I found that the cruise was first class, offered great value for the money and felt my family was safe and secure," he said.

BULLS HEAD — A new store will let customers battle orcs and dragons, attempt to save the world from diseases, farm in medieval times and become the best trader in the Mediterranean — without leaving Staten Island.
Myriad Games, which has two stores in New Hampshire, will open its third location in Bulls Head next week.
The Richmond Avenue store will carry more than 1,000 board and card games, none that require electricity to work, and employees serve as "game guides" to help customers decide which one is right for them.
"We can pair you — kind of like a wine-and-cheese pairing," said Dan Yarrington, the managing partner of Myriad Games and CEO of Game Salute. "We can find a game that's good for you and your game group."
Aside from well-known classics like Monopoly and Sorry!, Myriad Games will also sell deeper, sometimes more complex and strategic, "designer games" like Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride.
"We obviously have all the classics," said Yarrington. "We also have a lot of new, unique games. They're similar to Monopoly, but actually, playability wise, they're nothing like it."
People interested in trying out a game, but not dropping around $25 to $50, can also subscribe to the store's Netflix-like service that lets people rent games for $20 a month.
The idea to open a dedicated board game store on the Island came from Zev Shlasinger and Paul Gerardi, who partnered with Yarrington to open Myriad Games.
Gerardi, 54, a lifelong Staten Islander, worked with Shlasinger for 12 years and helped start Z-Man Games, a company that published popular games like Pandemic and Agricola.
After Shlasinger sold Z-Man to a Canadian company two years ago, Gerardi decided it was time for Staten Island to finally have its first dedicated board game store.
"I've been to Des Moines, Iowa, and there's four or five games stores. Staten Island has a population of 500,000 and it didn't have a single game store," Gerardi said.
"New York City is vastly underserved with game stores. It just seemed like a good business opportunity and a nice way to help the gaming community out."
Gerardi said for many years, the only game store in the city was The Compleat Strategist in Midtown, but because of its small size it can't accommodate tables for people to play and demo games.
Myriad Games will have tables for gamers and groups to use and Gerardi said he's excited the store will help bring the board gamers of Staten Island together.
"It will create that kind of meeting place for gamers to hook up with each other," he said.
On average, the "designer games" sell at a higher price than more well-known games — some going for more than $70 — because of better components and more pieces, Yarrington said.
However, Yarrington said the value per dollar for board games makes it a cheaper form of entertainment than going to the movies.
"We actually look at the kind of cost per play, and it's one of the cheaper forms of entertainment we could have," Yarrington said.
"It's more a specialty kind of boutique setup, and even at the most expensive, it's still a tremendously good value."
Yarrington said the nice part about these games is they let families and friends sit across a table and interact with one another without phones or laptops.
"It's really nice to be able to sit down across the table from a real person and interact without an electronic screen," he said.
Yarrington, who also does distribution and publishing for Game Salute, said that he has seen a large increase in the popularity of board games because it gives families a fun way to spend their free time.
"It's just like you go bowling, or you play golf," he said. "You play games once a week."
The store plans to have a soft opening next week, and a larger grand opening in February or March featuring game publishers and designers, Gerardi said.

Shipping Estimates
Order Times for Above Ground Pools
Above ground pools are too large to be shipped through UPS, Federal Express, or the USPS. We typically ship all pool orders out 24-48 hours after you place your order unfortunately due to recent circumstances surrounding COVID-19, please expect shipping delays of 2-4 business days. Transit time can vary depending on your location but generally takes 4-8 business days to most areas.(AZ, CA, ID, MT, ND, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, WI, WY will generally take 7-12 business days). Business Days are Monday thru Friday. When the shipment arrives at your local terminal, the carrier will call you to make an appointment before making the delivery to your home.
Important! An adult must be at the delivery location to receive and sign for an above ground pool and will be required to move the boxes from the truck at the time of delivery (we recommend at least 2 people to unload cartons from the truck). For your convenience, Liftgate Service can be added for $39 at checkout. With Liftgate Service, the delivery will come on a special truck with a hydraulic lift. The driver will use the lift to place the pallet on the ground curbside. (The truck driver is not responsible in moving your pallet to your desired location). This will make receiving the shipment much easier, especially if only one person is home to receive it.

Great value for the money.
Review by Rick P. on Sep 14, 2018
My family researched for many months for the right pool for our backyard. This pool came with everything that we needed and more. About 3 months after purchase, we had an issue with the liner. After calling and working with customer service, they sent me a brand new one. I will order from them again and I will share their good name to everyone who is looking for a pool for their family.

Patrick Mork, global marketing director for Google's Play store for the past two years, will soon depart the company, AllThingsD has learned.
Mork joined Google's Android unit in 2011, just as the Android Market rebranded to Google Play and then-Android honcho Andy Rubin was stepping up the company's content efforts. Before Play, Android's Market was far less unified and more slipshod in its presentation; Google effectively wanted to take on Apple's iTunes content powerhouse, but was armed with little to do so.
Mork led the marketing teams which pushed the new Play around the world, touting books, movies, music and games to all. It's an especially important task, considering that increasing Android market share internationally is a huge priority for the company.
His last big project was Google's All Access Radio effort, which put the company in competition with both Spotify and Pandora.
Before Google, Mork spent three years at GetJar, an app marketplace that served as an alternative to the giants like Google Play and Apple's App Store (which made his move to Google that much more controversial). Before that gig, he was at Glu Mobile, the game development powerhouse, as marketing chief for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
It's unclear what Mork's next move will be. He's pretty deeply connected to the gaming and mobile industry, however, so that's a likely direction.

Coke's interesting take on collaborative animation
Of Coca-Cola's "Wearable Movie," Design Taxi writes,
[E]ach of the animation's frames was printed on a T-shirt, and sent to people all over the world to participate in making the movie. Those who received a shirt had to wear the shirt and take a photo with it. The photos of the shirt were then stitched together to put together the short film of a pair of friends and a dog, trying to get a pair of lips to smile.

Bellator has cut ties with another former champion.
First-ever Bellator bantamweight titleholder Zach Makovsky recently confirmed via Twitter that the promotion has released him.
In his past two outings, Makovsky (14-4 MMA, 6-2 BFC) lost his title to Eduardo Dantas, and then earlier this month, "Fun Size" suffered a narrow split-decision defeat to Anthony Leone.
"Honestly shocked but thank you for the opportunity @BellatorMMA @BjornRebney" Makovsky tweeted.
Makovsky, an NCAA Division I wrestler at Drexel University who now fights out of Philadelphia, became Bellator's first 135-pound champion after winning a Season 3 tournament, where he defeated Nick Mamalis, Bryan Goldsby and Ed West. He also picked up non-title wins over Chad Robichaux and Ryan Roberts as part of an overall eight-fight win streak.
The 29-year-old, though, then suffered the submission loss to Dantas and the close defeat to Leone.
As Bellator moves from MTV2 to Spike TV next month, the company's roster continues to change. In fact, few of its inaugural champions remain with the promotion. Welterweight Lyman Good and light heavyweight Christian M'Pumbu are still on the roster. However, featherweight Joe Soto eventually moved on to fight at Tachi Palace Fights, middleweight Hector Lombard signed with the UFC earlier this year, and heavyweight Cole Konrad announced a surprise retirement in September. Additionally, lightweight Eddie Alvarez and women's 115-pound champion Zoila Gurgel are exploring free-agency options.
Makovsky also is expected to explore the free-agency market.
