Good as it gets in the pre-paid, no contract market
by JJParkman on April 30, 2012
Pros: + Powerful and fast.
+ Quality screen/video.
+ Quality speakers/audio.
+ Forward and front facing cameras.
Cons: - Camcorder lacks tremendously.
- GPS can flake out.
- Android 2.2 has occasional hiccups and app crashing.

Summary: The Triumph is just about the best option one has in the pre-paid smart phone market, as one of the few high-end models available. This being pre-paid, of course the technology behind the phone is about 2 to 3 years old now, a solid 1Ghz single core processor, and 512mb of RAM, while current contract phones have moved on to dual core processors and 1gb of RAM. To get an idea, you could say that the Triumph is about on par with a iPhone 3gs.
Physical design - For me, the Triumph teeters on the line between being too big and just right in size, anything larger is not practical for a phone, and anything considerably smaller would leave something to be desired. The Triumph is satisfyingly thin and light-weight, but the boxy design with it's rather large dimensions kind of make it a slightly uncomfortable phone to hold in your hand, despite the soft almost rubber-like material of the plastic. So far, I have not purchased a protective case for my phone. I strongly recommend that you do buy a protective case, as I can see how a phone of this size and shape would sustain some pretty catastrophic damage if dropped onto a hard surface. Unlike some other phones offered through Virgin, the Triumph only has three side buttons, a standard standby/power, and two media/ringer volume buttons. I was slightly disappointed to learn there was no physical button for shooting pictures.
In addition, there is a standard headphones jack at the top, and a standard USB as well as a mini HDMI-out on the bottom. I've yet to use the HDMI-out function, as mini cable was not included and can be very expensive. The capacitive keys for menu, home, back, and search are a nice feature, but can occasionally lock up where they don't want to respond and you must tap the home key to regain full functionality. There are two speakers on each side and they can get pretty loud, the sound quality is pretty sharp.
Screen - The screen is vibrant, colorful, pretty to look at. The resolution isn't as high as an iPhone, but is still the standard for any Android phone. The screen automatically adjusts levels of brightness to accommodate your needs by detecting the level of external light which is nice. There is a noticeable screen "leak" in the bottom left and right corners below the screen. For me, it's not a big deal at all. My only complaint would be that there is one tiny "dead pixel" on my screen, and a couple of small blotches behind the factory installed screen protector. Touch sensitivity is a little too rigid really, could have been a bit more responsive.
Performance - The phone performs quiet well in every capacity. Apps and widgets are quick to load and install, games run nicely, web surfing is fast and smooth running even on non-mobile sites, videos run nicely without lag. Note that performance with any data related app will partially depend on Sprint's 3G service and coverage in your local area. The first three days I had the phone I also had problems with the GPS being very slow, soon after it began working much quicker, but still struggles to pinpoint your location from time to time. So not the greatest GPS, but with a little patience, it's fine. Unfortunately, app do crash occasionally, and have been doing so more often than when I first got the phone which is disappointing. I have on occasion experienced some general malfunctioning as well, such as the screen flickering green during a Youtube video. I've also woken up from standby to a washed out screen. I'm not sure what causes these issues, but they don't occur very often.
Camera - Very disappointing for me. At the price point, I really expected a better camera. It's a 5 megapixel, apparently capable of shooting stills in 1080p, and video in 720p. You're offered a lot of resolutions in the settings and on the highest the still shots are good, but I wouldn't say great. Lots of light will greatly benefit a still shot, while dimmer locations will be less impressive. Perhaps the biggest let down of the phone for me is the camcorder. While the picture isn't bad, especially on the 720p resolution, it tends to suffer a lot from motion blur and lagging with a very low frame rate. In fact, a video shot in 720p will often result in 10fps, which is unacceptable. It's disappointing that the camera in the Triumph isn't up to par with my standard definition Canon from 2007 in that regard. A standard 30fps would have been nice. The mic in the camcorder is very quiet and muffled as you would expect with a typical camera phone, again very disappointing. I would have really liked the Triumph to have a overall good camera for $300, but I'm afraid it's very mediocre. The front facing cam is about on par with typical web cam quality.
OS / pre-loaded apps - The phone comes pre-loaded with an outdated version of Android, 2.2. This doesn't make sense as 2.3 was already out when the Triumph was released, and now there's a 4.0. As far as I know, there is no "official" update as of yet, your only option is to install a custom ROM if you don't want 2.2. This particular Android is pretty straight forward, but of course there are at least a two or three apps on Virgin's end that most will find unnecessary or useless, and unfortunately they're hard to get rid of if you're not big on hacking your phone. The rest of the pre-installed apps are pretty much standard, except for the camera and gallery apps, which I'm not too fond of. I don't really like sloppy way the gallery mixes still shots with video, and doesn't seem to allow any sort of custom organization or editing. I also find that the zoom is horrible, you try to zoom into a still shot and it will just blur the image.
In summary: A very solid phone, and I'm going to stick with it until Virgin decides to release the LG Optimus Black , which stands to offer everything the Triumph does with a crisper LCD display and a much nicer 720p camera/camcorder.
P.S., before you're will buy the Motorola Triumph, for low price I suggest you have to compare prices at: *****************.info/Motorola-Triumph
Hope my review is helpful.

Ridiculously great price for an excellent phone
by ceomrman on July 19, 2011
Pros: Qualcomm MSM8x55 system-on-a-chip plus Adreno 205 graphics = this is a very speedy phone. Same CPU/Graphics as the HTC MyTouch 4G. VERY fast compared to anything near its price, classy simple style, high res 4.1" gorilla glass screen, FM tuner, HDMI outpu
Cons: The camera module and touch response are major cost-savers - they're really not as good as those in some higher end phones. The photos are "eh" and "HD" video is not very HD. For the price, I'm not complaining, but its true that these parts are not as goo

Summary: You could buy a slower, less functional refurbished iPhone 3gs for $9 from AT&T. Then you will pay $60/month for 900 minutes, $25 for 2gb data, and $20 for texting. That's $9 + $105*24 = $2,529, or $105 per month. Plus a contract you can't escape in a year when a great deal from a competitor comes out.
The Motorola Triumph costs $299, plus $40 per month for 1200 minutes and unlimited data and text. That comes to $1,259, or $50 per month for a better phone and no contract. If you don't like it, just sell it on eBay for almost all your money back, or just give it away. The cancelation price from ATT is about the same as the cost of the Triumph, anyway! Then you are free to buy an iPhone 5 when you get a raise.
Now, iOS is better than Android (shut up, hackers, I'm talking to normal people). But is iOS worth $55 per month? HECK NO, it ain't. Over a single contract, the iPhone 3gs buyer will pay almost $1,300 more. For what? For a good but used phone with no expansion, no HDMI output, a smaller, non-Gorilla glass screen, no FM tuner, no this, no that, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
So here's the question: is iOS on an older, less feature-packed phone worth paying $1,270 for?
Now go buy a Triumph!

From iPhone 4 to Optimus V to Motorola Triumph.
by gimmi80 on July 17, 2011
Pros: Fast processor.
4.1 display.
Loud speaker.
Good picture and video camera.
Ok Video-chatting camera (not great but good to have).
Probably the first medium level smartphone with a prepaid company.
Cons: Battery is so and so. I've got 14 hours of use (using it a lot).
Bulky, but what do you expect from a 4.1 display?
That's it.
Summary: I've been lucky. This phone is officially coming out on the 19th of July but yesterday (15th) the Radioshack close to were I live had it on the shelf ...
Summary: I've been lucky. This phone is officially coming out on the 19th of July but yesterday (15th) the Radioshack close to were I live had it on the shelf and I grabbed one.
Few months ago I switched from an iPhone 4 to Optimus V with Virgin Mobile, in an attempt to reduce my monthly plan. It worked, now I'm on the 300 minute plan and I save a lot, however the Optimus V (even if it is a nice phone) was not as great as the iPhone 4.
I've to say that the Triumph feels like a very nice phone, almost like the iPhone. The camera takes very nice picture and the autofocus works fine. The LED flash works fine. All in all I feel like I've something very similar to my iPhone but on a much cheaper plan.
What is worst compared to the IP4: Battery life is definitely shorter than the IP4. I've been using it a lot in these two days and one charge lasted me from 7AM to 11PM. Not bad, but not great. with a regular use I expect to get a full 24hours. the IP4 was getting me 48hours and the Optimus V somewhere in between the IP4 and the Triumph.
Also, the 3G is not as fast as it was with the IP4 but it works, and I've been sending MMS and email with pictures with no problems.
I would definitely do it again.
Final suggestion: before activating the phone check it out. You can do anything you want beside calling, I know it sounds stupid, but just turn it on, walk around your home and see if you have reception, go to work and see if you have reception. You can even connect to internet (using wifi) and check out the app from the market. If you like it, go ahead and port your number. It normally 30 minutes (even if they tell you it might take 3 days).
If you activate consider to use the referral code pDL6Fou0 (it gives you and me 60 extra minutes).
Plus, now it's so boring... everybody is going around with an iphone. When people sees my Triumph they ask questions and when I tell them that I pay $25 a month they do not believe it.
If you activate consider to use the referral code pDL6Fou0 (it gives you and me 60 extra minutes).

Best pre-paid phone on the market
by tndk90 on September 20, 2011
Pros: 4.1" WVGA screen
1 GHz Snapdragon processor
Lots of storage
Solid performance/build
Cons: Costs $299 up front ($269 if you order online from a discounter)
Runs a very stock Android 2.2 Froyo interface, no enhancements at all
Audio quality isn't quite as crisp as other moto devices

Summary: If you're looking for a relatively recent Android that finally is available on the pre-paid market, look no further. The Motorola Triumph is the real deal... 4.1" WVGA screen is bright, beautiful, and easy to use. The phone is responsive with it's 1 GHz Snapdragon processor (not dual core, but it works well), and it has 720p video recording.Update: I'm returning the phone for a specific reason, I can't justify $299 price tag (or the $259 online discount price). The phone is either throttled or has signal strength issues on the Virgin/Sprint network, I've yet to get more than 600Kbps downloads no matter where in town that I have tried (whereas my tests with a Sprint Motorola Photon 4G phone would commonly get 1.4Mbps on 3G). The Triumph download speeds seem to be choked at 150-300Kbps. For a phone that is very high in price, I can't justify these slower throttled speeds, and I very obviously haven't even remotely reached the Virgin 2GB limit.
If you're looking for a good Android on a prepaid plan, this is the way to go.
However, you need to be sure you seriously want to avoid a contract. The cost up front for this phone is $269-299 while discount cell phone resellers are offering dual core Androids like the LG Thrill 4G for only $20 with a contract... Really this is a choice of contract or no contract (if you have that choice). Virgin also is limited with Sprint's native network, not the full extended network so you may not be able to enjoy this phone as far as you wish.
The only negatives with the phone itself is that it runs a stock Android 2.2 Froyo interface, which for the price is underwhelming. Motorola could have thrown a copy of Motoblur on there at the very least. As much as people don't like Motoblur, at least it offers more features than stock Froyo... Again, this may be prepaid, but it is still $300 you're spending here. For that price I do think it should come with a little bit of an upgrade.
Updated on Sep 22, 2011
Bottom line: Virgin's limitations aren't set up to properly exercise the capabilities of the phone itself. And for $300, the phone has no perks. I'll recommend you save yourself the cash and buy a contract phone... At $25/extra a month, your contract will pay for itself over a year's worth of use... The Triumph is a good phone, but too expensive for the network it operates on.
Updated on Oct 27, 2011I currently transferred to an AT&T Gophone temporarily while I continue to shop. My opinion is this... Virgin Mobile is a very limited network, they've started throttling data (even before it reaches the 2 GB limit its slower than Sprint) and actually I'm experiencing the same thing with AT&T Gophone... I have a Samsung Captivate I'm borrowing from a friend, and with my Gophone sim card it gets throttled to about 1Mbps on the HSPA network here. Buffalo has a robust HSPA+ network, so you can easily get 3-4Mbps with a regular AT&T sim card, and the Captivate isn't event HSPA+ compatible, it is only HSPA... Bottom line is that prepaid services are cheap for a reason: you are throttled. Gotta pay for a contract based service if you want top notch speeds. I'm waiting to get a deposit situation cleared up with AT&T and I'm going with them when I get the chance, but waiting to see if they deliver LTE phones in the next few months.

Awesome Smart Phone + Virgin Mobile's Amazing Prices
by tesee064 on January 22, 2012

Summary: I've had this phone for approximately 2 months now and I still love it today as much as when I first got it. I used to have the Samsung Intercept and this phone is exceptionally better than the Samsung in pretty much every way. This motorola looks minimalist and sleek and people are constantly asking me what it is. The back of the phone is slightly rubberized which gives it a really nice feel and it's not slippery to hold on to at all. The camera takes great pictures in daylight or when using the flash but if it's low light and you're using the front-facing camera it's not very good. The video is nice and sound comes through clear. This phone is super fast (at least compared to my Samsung Intercept & the HTC Pure that I had before it). Browsing the web is so quick and all the games I've downloaded run well. Streaming music and video do just fine on it too.
I really disliked the onscreen keyboard and had a horrible time with it, but thanks to Android I just downloaded a bunch of new keyboard apps until I found one I liked (I ended up with Swype & I totally LOVE it)! I have one gripe about this phone and that is about the touch screen. I don't have any problems with sensitivity until I go to the screen that houses all of my widgets/icons & applications (not the home screens), once I'm there the screen does not always react well to me swyping up and down to scroll and I have to wiggle my finger up and down a couple of times to get it to scroll. This is mostly just a minor annoyance, I don't think it's a big deal because all of my frequently used icons/apps are right on my home screens (and there are 5 home screens to scroll through so they don't get filled up).
All in all I'm super happy with my purchase. For a long time the HTC I used to have with AT&T was my all time favorite phone but this Motorola is even better than that.

Summary: My intention is to replace my TMobile MyTouch G2. I thought the Motorola Triumph and Virgin Mobile was the ticket. Virgin Mobile provides a decent array of pre-loaded apps. The phone is blazing fast. The first negative thing discovered was that the phone simply would not integrate to Google Voice. Secondly, Google's Music Beta requires Android 2.3. Phone falls short with v2.2.2. Who knows when Virgin Mobile will share an upgrade to the OS.
The deal-killer for me is the inoperability of GPS-like functionality and the voice recognition features.
I hope Virgin Mobile can get all these systems on the phone working correctly. When they do, I'll become a customer. Until then, the other phones at Virgin Mobile simply don't have the horsepower I want.

Summary: Not sure if everyone giving glowing reviews ever has seen one of these.
Do not get this phone unless Motorola fixes reception! I had the Truimph next to my old Sprint phone driving around the city. While I often went to full bars (95% of the time) with the Sprint phone (same coverage towers!), only once, driving around KC did I see the Triumph go to even three bars. Calls that I made sounded muffled (as the other callers told me).
At the busiest highway intersection in KC, where the other phone was at full bars, the Triumph was at two bars (90 dBm). Within a mile of the intersection I was at one bar (112dBm - horrible). Looking at Sprint's online coverage map it should be "best coverage".
I have never seen anything but "0" for the ASU (which is also bad).
There are a couple other quirks but reception is the deal killer...no need to go further.
I think Sprint had to get a good phone for Virgin Mobile and decided to cripple it so everyone wouldn't leave Sprint for this new phone and VM's lower prices.
It is a unacceptable! Going to return it.

Nice phone for a decent price
by dolbymark on July 16, 2011
Pros: -It's fast!
-Feels solid
-Screen is bright (and 4.1")
-speakers are loud (stereo external speakers, and ear speaker)
-good call quality
-decent camera
-nearly 1gb of internal storage (plus comes with 2gb sd card)
Cons: -Battery life is ho-hum
-Touch Screen gets a little wonky sometimes

Summary: So I went into my local Best Buy on 7/15. They didn't have the phone on display (as the release date is officially 7/19), but I asked them if they had received the phone, and sure enough they did and they were willing to sell it to me early! It cost $299 at the store, but there is a 10% off coupon floating around the Internet, so I was able to get it for a little less. I've been reading some people have had issues activating the phone early, but it worked for me. My previous phone was the optimus V. So far I'm really enjoying this phone. I've been playing with it A LOT, and I haven't been able to get a full day out of the battery. I think once I get into my normal routine the battery should last a day, but I'll be keeping a charger handy just in case.
Sometimes the touchscreen becomes slightly non-responsive. I'm not sure if it's because it's my new phone and I'm babying it, rather then just hitting the screen like I should. We'll see, it's definitely not a game changer though.
I am really curious about the hdmi out. I don't have a micro hdmi cable, so I can't comment on it yet. But it appears to be a cool feature (especially for a prepaid phone)
If you have Virgin Mobile or are looking to switch, get yourself this phone. You won't regret it.

The worst smart phone you will ever buy
by clandgh on October 4, 2011
Pros: large crisp screen
It looks good
It'll keep one of your hands toasty warm this winter
Cons: Poorly written instruction manual.

You can't buy an extra battery yet
Motorola put a low capacity battery in the phone
2gb micro SD card is insufficient
Battery cover dosn't

Summary: We bought this phone, based in part, on the positive reviews on CNet. I just wanted to set the record straight about it. If you buy this phone, it will be the last phone you will ever buy from Motorola...because after struggling to use this phone for its intended purpose, you will never want to buy another Motorola product. We thought the problems were us needing to update our headsets, needing to learn the phone, and that any OS software issues would quickly be corrected by Motorola. That is not the case. It's a beautiful looking device, but it is virtually useless for someone who uses bluetooth and needs a reliable phone.Everything I've listed are known issues with this phone. I found out after going to Motorola forums and reading the same problems over and over that we are having. Motorola isn't doing anything to correct the OS issues.
Updated on Oct 4, 2011
Bluetooth doesn't work If you plug it into household current, it stays connected. Otherwise, it disconnects.
The phone reboots and often shuts down for no reason. You don't know it until you go to use it.
The battery cover doesn't click into place and is always slipping off allowing the battery to fall out.
But then, the screen freezes pretty often so you have to remove the battery anyway. Guess it was designed for the battery to keep falling out to save you the trouble.
The 3G service is almost as slow as dialup. I had Sprint in the past, and it was fast. So why is the 3G on this phone so slow? Same location. Only thing different is the phone and Virgin Mobile.
The Navigator, Compass, and GPS do not work.
If you need a reliable phone, this one sure isn't it
Updated on Oct 4, 2011I intended to say:
Bluetooth doesn't work properly. The phone will only stay connected to your bluetooth device as long as the Triumph is plugged into household current. Within a couple of minutes of switching to battery, it disconnects. The symbol on the phone indicates it is still connected..but it isn't. So if you are a bluetooth user like I am, this phone is useless. When you take the call by holding the phone to your ear, half the time it disconnects the call from the "ear touch."

This myth started when masturbation was morally looked down upon. Psychologists believed that if they linked the act with stories of masturbating making your palms hairy or stunting your growth, people would be less likely to do it. We'll take our chances.
*Does Liquor Make You Last Longer? *
Drinking alcohol and having sex in the same night can be tricky for those who can't hold their liquor. You're going to last longer if you have the right amount, but if you overindulge you probably won't be able to get it up.
Is My Hand Size Related to the Size of My Penis?
While you've probably heard this myth since grade school, there is some truth to it. Studies have found that men with index fingers shorter than their ring fingers tend to have bigger penises. We're totally judging you for looking at your hand right now.

A home nurse shows up at Homicide South and reports a confession to NYPD Detective Darlene O'Hara. Gus Henderson, a former junkie suffering from Alzheimer's, claims that 17 years ago, he murdered his partner and buried him in a park on Avenue B. When the police reluctantly agree to excavate, they find a body—just not the one they were looking for.
The cops unearth the skeleton of a young boy, neatly dressed and buried ceremoniously. O'Hara must now find the murderer of a child, and the trail leads from the seediest corners of the city to a sleepy retirement community in Florida.
Driving headlong into the urban underbelly, O'Hara uncovers a criminal tribe who preys only on the weak, but can she stop the cycle before another child is lost?
About the Author
Peter de Jonge is the author of Shadows Still Remain and the coauthor of three books with James Patterson: Miracle on the 17th Green and the number one New York Times bestsellers Beach Road and The Beach House. He worked as a reporter at the Associated Press and has been a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine and other publications. He lives in New York City.
Praise for Buried on Avenue B LP…
"De Jonge's cop humor is true to life and the crime is true to the city. He also does sweet justice to New York, evoking the LES of 30 years ago as his cops work its latter-day streets."
-New York Daily News
"Edgy. . . comes full circle in a stunningly creative manner. De Jonge's hard-boiled prose and urban slang transports readers of serious crime fiction through gritty, harsh scenes populated with colorful characters Another stellar read from de Jonge—or as O'Hara would say, "Avenue B's friggin' amazing!"
-Library Journal (starred review)
"I'll bet you $1 that BURIED ON AVENUE B is as good as—or better than—any mystery novel that comes out of Scandinavia, the rest of Europe, or America from sea to shining sea this year. It isn't exactly realism—but that's because the dialogue is too sharp and funny."
-James Patterson
"Mr. de Jonge clearly enjoys himself throughout this police procedural, and it makes all the difference."
-East Hampton Star
"A compelling and puzzling mystery narrative peppered with memorable characters…De Jonge has earned himself a permanent place on this reviewer's "must read" list."
-Joe Hartlaub on Bookreporter.com
"De Jonge he tells his story with style, a generous helping of whimsy and a sharp eye for the odd corners and myriad eccentricities of Manhattan."
-Washington Post Book World

WMDT 47 News - Police are investigating two more fires. Flames broke out on Gilford Road around 7:30PM, and on Bobtown Road just after 9:30PM Monday night.
Officials have confirmed that both of the structures were abandoned and they have been ruled arson. However, Virginia State Police say investigators haven't determined yet if these are related to the on-going investigation of 25 unsolved arsons.
If these are related, that would total 27 unsolved arson cases in Accomack County since November 13th.

If you thought you saw a kidnapped woman in the back of a pickup truck, would you call the cops?
A truck tailgate decal showing a woman tied up with rope has caused a stir in Waco, Texas.
If you find yourself behind the truck in question, it would be easy to mistake the decal for a kidnapped woman at first glance.
Brad Cobb is the owner of Hornet Signs in Waco and he told KWTX-TV that he was surprised by the backlash.
"I wasn't expecting the reactions we got, nor is it anything we really condone," he said. "It was just something we had to put out there to see who notices it."
Cobb's company specializes in car wrap advertising. The company's expertise in the field led them to experiment with a variety of tailgate decals featuring a wide range of images that some have found startling.
Hornet Signs have created an Army sniper decal and a bloody, chained zombie decal, but their kidnapped woman design is the one that has garnered the most attention.
"When you're going to put a wrap on the side of your vehicle, you want that image to be realistic and portray the image of your company," Cobb said. "It wasn't our intent to make that the branding of our company, but more of, 'what could we do with it?'"
The woman in the picture is an employee of Hornet Signs who volunteered to be tied up and photographed for the decal. The decal was applied to the tailgate of another employee's truck.
"It was an experiment for us and something that was short term, so I was really shocked at how much traffic it did drive," Cobb said.
Almost all of which has been negative.
Despite the controversy, Cobb believes there's no such thing as bad publicity. He said the significant boost in Hornet Signs' business is proof.

I got past my seized fan hub which was last weekend's project. So I was doing a little cutting with the sickle bar and it started to rattle and vibrate violently.
I couldn't see what was wrong so I shut off the PTO and headed for home. Turns out the bolt on the left side of the tractor that holds the sickle bar assembly on had loosened
and so the whole assembly was shaking. So I tightened pulled it back in position and tightened the bolt and it now runs without all the horrible shaking. But when I use the lever to raise and lower the sickle bar
there is no response. I don't hear any sounds that would indicate something is trying to happen either.
Watching the lever moving and looking at the mechanism for raising and lowering, I can't really see how this is supposed to be working. Just a chain hanging down from the arm on the lifting shaft to the sickle bar.
So the arm isn't moving nor does it seem like its trying to. What goes on inside that lifting shaft I can't see too well but there isn't much to see.
Any ideas on what could be wrong? I can post images of this section of the tractor if that would help anyone.

This today from http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/
"As Earth's rotational momentum begins to decrease, the law of the conservation of energy should cause core
temperatures and subsequent geologic stress to increase in an inversely proportional manner.
Over the next 6 months, take note if normally accurate time pieces increasingly gain time relative to the
"observed" rate of Earth's spin. As an experiment, you may wish to leave TWO precisely set, independently
ACCURATE time pieces unrecalibrated with any future time-checks to serve as benchmarks. Over the next 6
months, compare "official" time sources (Internet atomic clocks) against these benchmark time pieces to observe
and track if there is a steady increase in the amount of time they gain with each passing month."
Is atomic time changing wrt astronomical time?!

When using objects... (easy question)
Say I have two javascript external sources. Is it possible for me to call one's functions from the other? Do I need to use JS's form of include within the other or can i just say "one.function()"?

functions are 'global' in scope, so as long as the function has been loaded you can call it from anywhere. The trick is you have to load them in the order you run them....
So for example, if you had in "test.js" a "function test()", and in "doit.js" tried to call test(), if you included test.js in your HTML before doit.js, you reverse them, it would fail...
Unless of course the routine that calls test() is not called until after both scripts have been loaded into memory.
That's the key -- javascript assigns it's namespace while loading, but doesn't resolve dependency until you actually RUN the scripts... if your calls are all nice and neatly wrapped in functions and you initiate them manually -- or you wait for "onload" before running any scripting -- you can cross-call between internal scripting and multiple external scripts until you're blue in the face.
Basically, it's not an easy question to answer as it all hinges on the ORDER you do things in.

Comments about Gretsch Drums Energy 5-Piece Drum Set with Hardware and Sabian SBR Cymbals :
I bought this drum kit a couple months ago (This being my first full drum-set I've bought) and I've been mostly pleased with the overall outcome of it all. The drum heads, of course, need to be replaced cause they just cave in in about a day. The assembly of the drums themselves may be confusing to novices as there are no clear instructions. I also found the packaging confusing as there were no clear labels on where all the parts were located and it took a good hour to find the one part I was looking for. There is a bit of reverb on the toms, but you can fix that easily.
Overall, it is a great kit for beginner drummers as well as a good kid for more experienced drummers.

Comments about Gretsch Drums Energy 5-Piece Drum Set with Hardware and Sabian SBR Cymbals :
All this kit needs is better heads and a better bass pedal. The stock heads can be made to sound decent with something to dampen the sound. Overall it is a good value and a good starting point for novice or even for experienced drummers.

Comments about Gretsch Drums Energy 5-Piece Drum Set with Hardware and Sabian SBR Cymbals :
This drumset is great! the bass drum is just amazing, you need to complete take off the heads for the toms to tune them just right but they sound really good, wouldnt hurt to get some new heads though. the cymbals are okay..the damage real easy ive only played em for a total of about an hour and they already have a bunch of marks on them. but the ride sounds incredible for the price, the crash is okay and i just use the hihats on another stand off to the side for a higher "chick" sound when i need it, or for closed hihats using double bass. the hardware is AMAZING, its so solid and sturdy. Overall this is an amazing deal, just upgrade your batter heads and the cymbals when they ware down!
Comments about Gretsch Drums Energy 5-Piece Drum Set with Hardware and Sabian SBR Cymbals :
I've had these for about two months and they sound incredible. After putting EMADs on the kick drum, it has a serious punch. The snare has a solid sound with both loose and tight tunings, however the throwoff switch feels flimsy. I tend to keep the head tight and kill the ring with a Rem-O dampener. The toms all took quite a bit of tweaking to get them to sound how I wanted, but now that I've broken in the heads, they sound great. The floor tom has a nice low hit to it.
The hardware feels solid and if I didn't have anything better to use, the kick pedal isn't a terrible option. If you have the extra money, I would reccomend getting a Tama Speed Cobra, which is ridiculously cheap for its quality.
There is one HUGE problem that I have with the set though: the cymbals. These Sabian SBRs sound like utter garbage. They hit like cheap Meinls and they tone is atrocious. My son has a small First Act kit that I got him last Christmas and the crash on that has a better sound. Seriously, it doesn't matter what you get to replace them, just make sure you do. I went and took the cheap option and purchased the Wuhan Traditional Cymbal set and added their crash/ride, and their splash. Personally I think they sound wonderful with the drums.
Aside from the kick, which has an EMAD resonant head, I left all the other resonant heads stock. On the snare I put a coated Remo Emporer with the reverse dot, and the toms I put Aquarian Performance II Powerdots. I really love the Aquarians for my toms, but I will say that the powerdots take some time breaking in, and don't sound great out of the box. Once they're worn in though, they sound incredible.
Overall, I would say that this kit is a steal for its features, quality and price, just don't expect miracles from the cymbals.

BOSTON (AP) -- The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering a $50,000 reward for information about the shooting of a letter carrier in the Dorchester section of Boston.
Boston police say a masked man who appeared to be in his 20s jumped into the letter carrier's Postal Service truck at about 6 p.m. Friday. Authorities say the suspect demanded something, hit the postal worker in the head, made him take off his uniform and tried to drive away in the truck.
Police say the letter carrier was shot in his right hand or wrist during the struggle and escaped from the truck, which was found a short distance away. The postal worker was treated at a hospital for a serious injury.
Postal inspectors have talked with employees about security protocols and safety tips.

Today is Thursday, Jan. 10, the 10th day of 2013. There are 355 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Jan. 10, 1863, the London Underground had its beginnings as the Metropolitan, the world's first underground passenger railway, opened to the public with service between Paddington and Farringdon Street.
On this date:
In 1901, the Spindletop oil field in Beaumont, Texas, produced the Lucas Gusher, heralding the start of the Texas oil boom.
In 1920, the League of Nations was established as the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY') went into effect.
In 1946, the first General Assembly of the United Nations convened in London.
In 1947, the musical fantasy "Finian's Rainbow," with music by Burton Lane and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg, opened on Broadway.
In 1957, Harold Macmillan became prime minister of Britain, following the resignation of Anthony Eden.
In 1962, an ice avalanche on Nevado Huascaran in Peru resulted in some 4,000 deaths. John W. McCormack became speaker of the House, succeeding the late Samuel T. Rayburn.
In 1971, "Masterpiece Theatre" premiered on PBS with host Alistair Cooke introducing the drama series "The First Churchills." French fashion designer Coco Chanel died in Paris at age 87.
In 1984, the United States and the Vatican established full diplomatic relations for the first time in more than a century.
Ten years ago: North Korea withdrew from a global treaty barring it from making nuclear weapons. With just three days left in office, Illinois Gov. George Ryan pardoned four death row inmates he said had been tortured by Chicago police into falsely confessing to murders in the 1980s.
Five years ago: The United States lodged a formal diplomatic protest with Iran over an incident in which Iranian speedboats harassed U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf. President George W. Bush, visiting Israel and the Palestinian-controlled West Bank, said a Mideast peace pact would require "painful political concessions by both sides." John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, endorsed Barack Obama's White House bid. Maila Nurmi, whose "Vampira" TV persona pioneered the spooky-yet-sexy Goth aesthetic, died in Los Angeles at age 85.
One year ago: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire primary; Ron Paul finished second, with Jon Huntsman, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum trailing. Alabama was voted No. 1 in the final AP poll for the eighth time, tying Notre Dame for the most of any team in college football, after winning a rematch with LSU in the BCS championship.
Thought for Today: "In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism." -- Hannah Arendt, American author and historian (1906-1975).

Frank C. Squires
Architect 1871-
Frank Squires was born in Columbus, Ohio in November of 1871 to J.H. and Jennie Shimp Squires. In 1879 the family purchased land in Pottawatomie County and they moved to Topeka around 1885. Squires was educated at the Topeka Art School and took a special course in architecture at Columbia University. He was a prominent member of the community having belonged to the Masons, Elks Club and Co-Operative Club.
Squires is known for his partnership with James Holland, which began in 1898. Together their firm designed several courthouses and other public buildings.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
1. Molecular Mechanisms of Negative-Sense RNA Virus Assembly/Budding. Viruses
studied include: Filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg), Arenaviruses (Lassa Fever and Junin), and
Rhabdoviruses (Vesicular
Stomatitis and Rabies).
2. Virus-Host Interactions that Modulate Filovirus and Rhabdovirus Assembly/Budding.
3. Innate Immune Defenses against Filoviruses and Rhabdoviruses.
4. Host-Oriented antiviral therapeutics.
Key words: Ebola, Marburg, VSV, Matrix Proteins, VP40, Budding, VLPs, Reverse-Genetics, Virus-Host Interactions, Innate Immunity.
Description of Research
My laboratory is focused mainly on the molecular events that lead to virus assembly and budding. Our model virus systems include vesicular stomatitis virus (a rhabdovirus that causes disease in bovine and equine species), and the filoviruses Ebola and Marburg (emerging, zoonotic pathogens and potential agents of bioterrorism). Our studies are focused on the viral matrix proteins which are the major building blocks of the virus and function to direct virion assembly and budding. We are particularly interested in understanding how these viral matrix proteins interact with host proteins to facilitate the budding process. We are also interested in the host innate immune response to virus infection, and identifying antivirals that can inhibit egress and spread of filoviruses and rhabdoviruses. A second area of study is to utilize reverse-genetics to generate and recover VSV recombinants expressing the surface gB protein of HSV-1 for use in studies to dissect the structure and function of gB during virus-cell fusion. My lab utilizes a wide-array of techniques for these studies such as, virus-like particle (VLP) budding assays, reverse-genetics to generate VSV recombinants, bimolecular complementation, ubiquitination and ISGylation assays, and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM).

Take Five: Tracy Sedino's Warehouse of Vintage Sunglasses-------
Fashion folk are a curious bunch, and we've found that they tend to collect equally curious things. In our "Take Five" feature, we get the lowdown on our favorite industry personalities' most treasured trinkets.
There won't be enough sun-filled English days in this lifetime for Tracy Sedino to wear each pair of vintage shades in the Linda Farrow archive. "Oh, my god, I must have thousands," she said last week at a dinner in New York. Sedino was behind the revival of the Linda Farrow brand, whose namesake designer worked with houses such as Yves Saint Laurent and Emilio Pucci to create glasses in the seventies and eighties. Farrow closed her business to start a family in the late eighties, and her crates of luxurious lenses were stored away in a London warehouse.
Over a decade later, Sedino—then a student at the London College of Fashion—began dating (and has since married) Farrow's son, Simon Jablon. "His father had some warehouses," Sedino recalled. "And he asked Simon to get rid of all the stock, because they were getting turned into residential properties. So I went with him, and we found original Pucci and YSL sunglasses piled three-floors high." Obviously, their discovery couldn't go to waste, so she and Jablon used it as a jumping-off point and rebooted the house of Linda Farrow. They sold some of the vintage styles but, more notably, began partnering with young talents to turn out glamorous—and often outrageous—designs. (Remember those Jeremy Scott Minnie Mouse shades? That was their doing). Today, the husband-and-wife team continues the company in Farrow's spirit and makes glasses for everyone from Dries Van Noten, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Suno to Alexander Wang, Peter Pilotto, and The Row. "We thought there was a massive gap in the market," said Sedino of her and Jablon's decision to relaunch Linda Farrow. "You have these big luxury houses that sign licensing deals, but other designers, like Dries, will never do that, because they value their brands too much. We wanted to reinforce what Simon's mother did in the seventies by working with designers to create eyewear as a fashion accessory, rather than a licensed product."
Sedino and Jablon celebrated their company's (and their relationship's) tenth anniversary this year. And to mark the milestone, the duo have not only offered up a ten-year capsule collection but also opened a pop-up shop in collaboration with BOFFO, right here in NYC. The store, which is located at the Chelsea SuperPier, and open through December 24, boasts a bevy of Linda Farrow's most covetable products. As for that archive of vintage sunnies, Sedino told us that it's a constant point of reference. "We don't want our collections to be too vintage, so we take inspiration from the vintage styles, and incorporate new technology and materials," she said. Here, Sedino talks us through her five favorite pairs of old-school Linda Farrow frames.
1. "These are acetate Linda Farrow glasses from the eighties. They're my holiday pair. I love them because the idea and design are fun, and they're quite comfortable on my face. Ironically, it's hard for me to find sunglasses that fit—for Asians, it's difficult to find pairs that sit on the nose bridge. I've been wearing these for the last two years, and I'm particularly inspired their shape, because they're almost like a big chunky Wayfarer. You can really wear them whenever."
2. "These are Yves Saint Laurent glasses from the early seventies. They're kind of a round Jackie O style. They're handmade in acetate, with metal arms. This pair is a one-off, so we don't have stock anymore. They're one of my favorite styles, because they're the perfect size. But I don't really wear them, because I'm afraid of losing them."
3. "These are Linda Farrow glasses from the eighties, and they were kind of inspired by Lolita. Whenever stylists call in for Lolita-style frames, we send them these. I wear them all the time in the summer."
4. "These are amazing. This is another YSL pair from the seventies. They're not one-of-a-kind—we still have a few—but not many. The lenses are polarized, and because of the orange, they're my autumn glasses."
5. "This is the most iconic Linda Farrow style. I love how the sides are beveled. We've actually launched a fine-jewelry collection of 18-karat-gold-and-diamond sunglasses, and this is one of the styles we used."
Linda Farrow Fetes the Big 1-0-------
By now, the Linda Farrow story is one of lore. Ten years ago, Tracy Sedino and her boyfriend, Simon Jablon (Linda Farrow's table tennis-champ son), were redecorating an old warehouse that belonged to his designer mom. And by pure fortune, they discovered a box filled with old sunglasses that Linda had created for Balenciaga, Dior, and YSL in the seventies. The rest is history.
Ten years on and happily married to Jablon, Sedino has been busy fulfilling her mother-in-law's design dream that was put aside for love, marriage, and children. In the past decade, with Jablon quarterbacking the business angle, Sedino has developed the Linda Farrow brand to an extreme: Their stand-alone products have drawn a legion of fans (think Rihanna, Gaga, Queen Bey, Madonna), and their collaborations have raised the bar even higher. Jeremy Scott, Erdem, Dries Van Noten, Oscar de la Renta, The Row, and Matthew Williamson are just a few designers with whom the brand has worked hand in hand.
To fete their ten-year diamond anniversary, Sedino is taking the brand and its muse—a giant doe-eyed raven-haired doll called Penelope—on a whirlwind road show. First stop was Colette, where Penelope wore Sedino's Alexander McQueen wedding dress, and now, to Selfridges, where the brand has a "shop-in-shop"—the new parlance for pop-up shop. Sedino and Jablon have called upon ten brands, including Nicholas Kirkwood, Mawi, Falke, and Agent Provocateur to come up with a limited-edition selection of goodies (which will be available until October) to celebrate. And these products are not your typical eyewear. A gold detailed heel from Nicholas Kirkwood, some very naughty bow-detailed pantyhose from Falke, a super-sexy aromatic candle from Cire Trudon, and a Lycra playsuit-cum-harness from Agent Provocateur (which reminds us of something out of Fifty Shades) gives us a clue as to what is on the couple's minds as they commemorate ten years of marriage and business. A clutch from Bottega Veneta PT 1 and a fur from Saga give the collection just enough grown-up veneer to sugarcoat the boudoir naughtiness. Good to know the flame hasn't gone out—all ten-year anniversaries should be like this one.

Labor & Employment
Iowa supremes to issue new ruling in case of woman fired for being too irresistible
Posted Jun 26, 2013 7:38 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The Iowa Supreme Court has withdrawn a controversial opinion that found a dental assistant did not suffer unlawful sex discrimination when her boss fired her because he considered her an irresistible attraction.
The decision tossing the case by dental assistant Melissa Nelson had provoked outrage among columnists. The blog On Brief reports that the court's chief justice announced on Monday that the case was being withdrawn and would be resubmitted today without oral argument. A new decision could come as early as this Friday.
"That's an extraordinary move," the blog says, "which comes six months after the court received national attention for ruling that a male employer does not commit gender discrimination if he fires a female employee at the request of a jealous wife."

The East-West Shrine Game® is the longest running college all-star game in the country. A staple in college football since 1925, the game has consistently proven to be a launch pad for players seeking professional careers in the NFL. More than 100 players from the 88th East-West Shrine Game signed with professional football teams in 2013. On average, more than 275 East-West Shrine Game alumni are on NFL rosters each year.
Since the very first players secured their helmets and laced up their cleats in San Francisco's Ewing Field nearly 90 years ago at the very first East-West Shrine Game, 71 former East-West Shrine Game alumni have been honored with induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and more than 200 into the College Football Hall of Fame. Many of the NFL's most recognized and decorated athletes, including Tom Brady, Brett Favre and John Elway, all started on the East-West gridiron.
Supporting a Mission
In addition to serving as one of the NFL's primary sources for eligible players, the game benefits Shriners Hospitals for Children®, and helps support its mission of providing expert care to children in need, conducting innovative research and offering educational opportunities to medical professionals. East-West Shrine Game activities include a visit to a Shriners Hospital, which gives the players the opportunity to witness firsthand the true purpose of the game. "Going to the hospital was a very humbling experience," said 2013 East-West Shrine Game alumni and newly signed Baltimore Raven, Trent Steelman. "Those kids have more courage and tenacity than any football player I know; and that I will never forget."
About Shriners Hospitals for Children

Seashelling Vacations
Gifts from the Sea
By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea ... For grownups and kids alike, just being at the shore is enough. You can make the beach even more enjoyable by giving a sense of mission to the sandy proceedings. Go on a seashelling spree -- you'll have treasure-hunting good fun and come home with marine mementos that really tell a story. Your possibilities are as expansive as the miles of public coastline.Where to Go
Anywhere the sea meets the land, you can find seashells. The United States boasts one of the world's most famous seashelling areas in Florida. Near Fort Myers, on the Sunshine State's Gulf Coast, Sanibel and Captiva islands attract people from all over to their shell-laden shores. But glorious days of exploring and collecting can be had along the Atlantic Coast from Florida to Maine, along the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas, and along the Pacific Coast from California to Washington. Don't forget Hawaii and Alaska!

Alternative St. Patrick's Day suggestions this year include Irish-writer Martin McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths available on DVD and live-streaming; the last weekend for the exhibition of Mitch Markovitz's work at the South Shore Convention and Visitor's Indiana Welcome Center and the most Roman of Shakespeare's plays set in modern Washington.
Almost Forgot About Seven Psychopaths: Did you ever put a movie onto your Netflix list so long ago that you forgot why you wanted to see it? And then were so pleasantly surprised when you remembered. This happened to me recently between blizzards last week. I started reading Martin McDonagh's plays right after I saw In Bruges, which got an academy award for best original screenplay a few years ago. The plays aren't as zany, hilarious and gory as the movies but the characters are funny, clueless and unpredictable in both media. I loved Seven Psychopaths, not only for McDonagh's dark-comic writing, also the addition of characters played by Christopher Walken and Tom Waits as understandable, sympathetic freaks. At the center of McDonagh's work is the very real possibility that this situation could be nothing more than a alcohol-induced nightmare and what could be more fitting for St. Patrick's Day than that?
Going Roman This Weekend: Has anyone been able to resist the spectacle of the ancient rite of Pope election? And I am particularly envious of the weather in Vatican City, which seems to be way better than ours. The whole reason I renewed my three-play subscription to Shakespeare this year was because I wanted to see Julius Caesar on a stage. The production at Chicago Shakespeare has been well-reviewed, which usually means I'll be wowed. People who love Shakespeare generally have seen multiple productions of the most famous plays, but I haven't and so I'm always easily enthralled. So I'm looking forward to it, even if it is set in modern Washington, very far down on my level of interest scale at the moment.
Last Weekend for Mitch Markovitz: Mitch Markovitz and I grew up just blocks apart on the south side so I understand his train fixation. Hearing the trains go by as kids just naturally made you feel like you were going places even before you went. He ended up with his dream job as a conductor and later an artist in charge of art and graphic design for the railroad. Markovitz developed the modern South Shore Line poster series "Just Around the Corner," which highlights various places found in Northwest Indiana. His work is currently being exhibited at the Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond. The show closes next Friday March 22.

I just read a review on IMDB from an early screening the other night and apparently it's flat out weak. Other than Josh Brolin the actors aren't cast well and the film felt like a generic mash-up of L.A. Confidential, The Untouchables and Dick Tracy. Too bad, it could have been badass. Initially I had high hopes for this one, but now I don't care. Well, it's directed by Ruben Fleischer, hardly up there with Scorsese, Mann, Tarantino... The trailer didn't even look promising. Thank God that Bryan Cranston chose Argo over this.

Totally forgot this movie existed. This is going to flop hard. Gosling and Stone are so miscast and out of place here.
