Paddle Board RIRead MoreBefore helming Paddle Board RI, John Andel was working as an IT consultant, itching to hop onto his board as the hours crept by each day. An erstwhile surfer, scuba diver, and spear fisher, John had encountered standup paddleboarding while visiting Costa Rica and fell in love with the aquatic pastime faster than two cupids in an archer's duel. "You get a whole different perspective," he says of standing up on the board. "Sometimes you can see 20 feet down into the water." Drawn to the sport's flexibility, John has engineered a diverse selection of tours, including the full-moon paddle, the business's most popular tour, which takes groups out on quiet waters to gaze up at the glowing orb and stake out real estate for the moon colonies of the future. Another tour, the Tuckered Dog, invites pooches to hop on board with their owners at a dog-friendly pond. Paddle Board RI also offers classes from introductory lessons to less traditional options, such as paddleboard yoga taught by a certified yoga instructor, meditative sunrise sessions, and muscle-sculpting workout classes. Although his business has taken off, Andel still leads the vast majority of the tours: at the heart of the venture still beats his own passion for being out on the water and sharing his love of paddleboarding with others. "We're not just a rental company," he says. "We're about enjoying the water."16 Community DriveSouth Kingstown, RI US

Rhode Island Duckpin Bowlers AssociationRead MoreThe Rhode Island Duckpin Bowlers Association strives to keep its namesake sport alive by hosting duckpin-bowling tournaments at six local alleys. The game cropped up in a Baltimore bowling alley in the summer of 1900, when most ten-pin alleys were closed for warm months to avoid excessive sweating in rental shoes. But at Diamond Alleys, athletes hurled balls through the heat but opted for 6-inch spheres and pins of a diminutive stature. After observing pins that scattered like a flock of ducks, the owners of the lanes dubbed the modified game duckpin bowling. Besides granting players three rolls per turn, duckpin bowling adhered to all traditional rules and grew in popularity until it peaked in 1967, the year inertia was exposed as a myth. Today, the Rhode Island Duckpin Bowlers Association keeps the pastime alive at spots including the Bowling Academy, a historical gem in its own right as the test site of the first automatic duckpin pinsetters.7565 Post RoadNorth Kingstown, RI US

Tanks don't grow on trees. They don't just magically appear out of nowhere and then a bunch of soldiers just climb in and start blowing stuff up left and right. There's a lot of work that goes into designing these treaded monsters. And no one seems to know more about what it takes to put one together than Wargaming's Nicholas Moran.

Ensuring a smooth, comfortable and stable platform to your video camera, the Velbon C-600 trivet is an apt camera essential for all aspiring photographers. This large size camera trivet belongs to the C series of tripods from Velbon. Fused with tough aluminium, this Velbon C-600 tripod is flexible, strong and sturdy for everyday usage.
The Velbon C-600 camera trivet weighs 2000 g. With this smart tripod from Velbon, you could easily mount a video camera weighing up to 4000 g, almost twice as much as its own weight. To make the operating process simpler, the camera trivet comes with an in-built spirit level. This feature ensures that the tripod is evenly placed in the front, back and sides. The tilt motion of the tripod makes provision for better control of the equipment while panning.
Making it more compact to carry while travelling long distances, the Velbon C-600 when folded measures 670 mm. In order to frame the right compositions and shoot perfect videos it is essential to experiment with every possible angle. To help you accomplish this with ease, the Velbon C-600 comes with a maximum operating height of 1630 mm and a minimum operating height of 650 mm. The three leg section of this camera trivet adds to the convenience while panning.
The Velbon C-600 tripod is embedded with aluminium braced, spiked legs which clasp on to even the toughest terrains and slopes with ease. The diameter of the first upper leg is 26.8 mm. Integrated with a 2 way PH-358 Fluid Video Head and a 4 position handle, this tripod provides effortless panning horizontally and vertically during your video shooting. With the help of the quick release plate you could attach and remove your video equipment with ease whenever required.
Ensuring an uncomplicated control of the overall height of the Velbon C-600, this tripod consists of a geared centre elevator. When the legs of the camera trivet are extended, it is a time consuming task to fine-tune to the desired height level. This is vital when you have to adjust the angle or the image in the frame while shooting. The geared centre elevator provides a well-controlled adjustment of the entire unit.
The Velbon C-600 makes use of the radial braces for precise panning and minimizes the chances of shaking while shooting. In addition to this, the independent pan lock system controls your panning base.

Is worth more you payFirst of all the Velbon brand is very well known and the time where camera gears are very expensive than its quality. I received such a high quality tripod at 3500 is much more than i expected.

Velbon C-600I would like to thank Flipkart for this tripod. Once I started using it for recording videos on my Sony DSC-HX1 it just worked so beautifully and no one can even find a bit of shakes or any distraction in the recorded video. I will personally recommend it also for DSLR lovers. The only disadvantage that I noticed is that it is a bit huge and is difficult to carry to all places. Nevertheless it is a best tripod at this price range.

Velbon C-600Specifically made to cater to the requirements for shooting video on your DSLR with the fluid head PH-368, the C-600 does a pretty good job although a lot is left to be desired in terms of stability and the build quality.

Hi guys,
I haven't played Call of Duty in a long time (since Call of Duty 2 in fact!) and I'm finding the trailers for Ghosts very appealing - but I have a bunch of questions about the Wii U version (my platform of choice!) before I jump in.
1) Does the Wii U version support clans or not? There are a lot of mixed reports about this.
2) Does the Wii U version support the mobile app or not? Again, a lot of mixed reports about this.
3) Does the Wii U version support local co-op, where one player can use the TV and the other the GamePad? Is this for multiplayer modes, the campaign or both?
4) Does anyone know if the multiplayer is region locked? I have a Japanese Wii U and will have to buy the Japanese version of the game therefore.
I'm a 'newb' so some of these questions might be stupid, please, have patience - I hope to get some answers to these questions, and I look forward to jumping into the game and becoming a part of this community.
1) Sadly not (don't know why)
2) Sadly not (don't know why)
3) Maybe
4) Don't know
Man, I am so helpful this morning!
Now I'm off to rescue a cat from a tree...
1) No
2) No
3) Yes
4) It's not region locked.

Training Army chaplains with spiritual, survival skills
Nov 15, 2012
Instead of weapons, chaplains carry their faith when they deploy. But even a chaplain needs to know how to defend him or herself against a personal attack.
Web base program tracks, validates National Guard, Reserves
Nov 13, 2012
CAMP SHELBY, Miss. -- Last year, more than 19,000 Reserve Component Soldiers, under the guidance and oversight of First Army Division East, mobilized, trained and deployed worldwide. Tracking and maintaining all the required Army training plus the required First Army mobilization training wasn't possible using the current software platform. Soldiers at the 177th Armored Brigade, however, didn't let that stand in their way.
Family legacy of service spans decades
Nov 13, 2012
FORT MEADE, Md. -- It's amazing how things come full circle by the simplest of happenstances. Earlier this year when Kevin Colyer received his maternal grandfather Lt. Col (retired) Robert David Orcutt's Army Class A uniform and other memorabilia from his Army career, he wanted to create a shadow box to honor his grandfather. But what he found was something that connects his present to his grandfather's past. And it made him not only remember, but want to know more.
NC NG learn de-escalation techniques for Sinai deployment
Nov 9, 2012
It's an exotic dance. The men try to grab the Soldiers' feet. SLAM! The lite weight practice shields hit the ground. Another man takes a running start at the middle of the formation, and the Soldiers lean their practice shields forward, blocking him. Finally, someone throws a gravel-filled bottle at a Soldier's head; the plastic shield comes up, just enough -- and in time -- to deflect it. The Soldiers aren't in any real danger today. But the realistic training they receive from First Army Division East trainers now, before they deploy to the Sinai could keep them from being hurt or worse in the future.
WWII veteran inspires grandson's Army service
Nov 9, 2012
CAMP SHELBY, Miss. -- Growing up, 1st Lt. Rodney Brock with the 177th Armored Brigade, Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center, enjoyed his grandfather's Navy stories about World War II, and looked to him for guidance before joining the Army. Ultimately, these stories and his grandfather's example influenced Brock decision to join the Army. "He told me all the things that he liked about his commanders during WWII. He also said that he thought I exhibited a lot of those same traits and that if I chose to join, I would be a good leader to my Soldiers," said Brock. He said he would be proud of me either way," said Brock. "He didn't push me into the decision." "So I joined, and I visited him the day that I came back from Fort Lewis as a freshly minted second lieutenant," said Brock. "He said it was one of the proudest days of his life." When it comes to following a family member into the military, Brock isn't alone. According to a survey released last year by the Pew Research Center, approximately 79 percent of today's veterans followed in a family member's footsteps. This is almost 18 percent higher than the general public. Serving can be considered a family business, Brock said, since several other members of his family have served as well. Typically his grandfather would only tell the hilarious stories about WWII, he never really talked much about the horrors he faced until I came back from my first deployment, said Brock. It wasn't until Brock decided to help his grandfather receive recognition for his actions on Omaha Beach on D-Day that he saw parallels between their two careers. "My grandfather suffered with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder," said Brock. "I know how bad it was, and I am proud to work done at the 177th Armored Brigade, First Army Division East and First Army to help Soldiers deal with it today." The 177th mobilizes and demobilizes units under guidance from First Army Division East and First Army. The care and concern that is shown to all Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airman when they return home is outstanding, so they don't suffer from PTSD alone the way his grandpa had to, explained Brock. First Army works with the Army's Medical Command, the Veteran's Administration and other organizations to ensure every single redeploying Reserve and National Guard Soldiers are correctly evaluated and receive the medical and behavioral health assistance they need. When Brock first returned from Iraq, he and his grandfather talked about his experiences. It brought them closer and Brock better understood the demons his grandfather fought alone for so long. Over the years Russell had put his memories of his military service on tape, capturing the thoughts and emotions of a man who has walked through and seen the anguish of war. "It seemed like the Iraq war brought back so many memories of the war," says Russell in his memoirs. "Many nights I had nightmares that I was still fighting the Germans." Russell was among the first to land on Omaha Beach on D-Day. The images he saw that day haunted him for years. "Everybody was wet, hungry and afraid; food had been scarce for almost three days. We were towing a LCM (Landing Craft Mechanized) I think, a boat to carry the Rangers on it to hit the beach hard as they could," states Russell in his memoirs. "We had to watch the horrors of the men and parts of men that had been destroyed. The beaches were being cluttered with broken equipment and GI's who had suffered the supreme sacrifice. Yes, the heroes were placed in the soil on Normandy," recalled Russell. "It was hard to think that in just 10 months from Normandy, I was in Okinawa fighting for my life and others," said Russell. After D-Day, Russell, a Gunners Mate 2nd Class, served with a crew of about 70 crewmen and seven officers on the USS LCS (L) 86, also known as the 'Mighty Midget.' Many men and officers received special awards for bravery; the entire ship crew received The Presidential Unit Citation for heroic duty in supporting the landing at Okinawa. Russell, who has been legally blind now for five years, said the VA furnished him with a machine that helped him read. He began reading a little book titled "God's promise, ask and ye shall receive," while struggling with PTSD resulting from his experiences in both France and Okinawa. It took a lot of prayer, faith, medical help, and the love of family, but Brock said his grandfather has won most of his PTSD battle. "One night I had a dream," said Russell in his memoirs. "I had my pack upon my back and I was walking through the streets of home. God was saying my child it is over now; do not fear for you are safe now. Since then I have not had any problems with my thoughts and memories." After knowing what his grandfather went through and knowing how he suffered, Brock said he is proud of the unit he works for and the job they do, in helping Soldiers transition thru the demobilization process after they return from combat. And it was through his assignment at Camp Shelby that Brock found a way to honor his grandfather. "I spend a lot of time at the museum. I like to look around during my lunch," said Brock. "While I was there I picked up a flyer that said Veterans that served in France during WWII were now eligible to receive the Legion of Honor." Brock decided he would submit his grandfather's information and ensure he received the recognition he deserved. Brock started putting the required paperwork together in early January 2012 and submitted it to the Atlanta Consulates' office. He didn't hear anything back for five months. In late June, his grandmother received a letter from the French Ambassador stating Oscar Russell had been appointed a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. "We were beyond excited," said Brock. "My grandmother called and said she had received a big envelope. She opened it and read it to me on the phone; it came as a huge surprise to us." Brock's grandfather, Oscar Russell, was honored for his service during WWII, at a ceremony at The Armed Forces Museum at Camp Shelby on Aug. 15. France's Lt. Col. Philippe Testart, French liaison officer to the Maneuver Center of Excellence, Fort Benning Ga., and Honorary Consult to Mississippi, Keltoum Rouland, presented Russell the Legion of Honor and the accompanying title of Knight or Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Receiving the award on the arm of his grandson brought his service full circle for Russell. When Testart, awarded Russell the medal, he recalled a passage from Russell's memoirs. "Many men did not make it to enjoy the freedoms of jobs, peace and contentment, the love of children, parents and family," Testart read from Russell's memoirs. "We that lived should never boast as heroes."
World War II Veteran shares memories, history of lineage with current generation
Nov 7, 2012
"It was 1942 the last time I was there," Leon Tarter remembered about Camp Atterbury, Ind. "They asked if anyone wanted to be a truck driver. Well, I was only eighteen years old, and I said yes, I wanted to be a truck driver. So they asked me if I could drive a big truck, and I said, 'yes I can.' The next day they had me pushing a wheel barrow while we were picking up trash."
Soldiers strengthen spiritual resiliency by reflecting on those who impacted their lives
Nov 2, 2012
Soldiers focused on the meaning of life during the 205th Infantry Brigade, First Army Division East, quarterly prayer breakfast held at King Hall Dining Facility, Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center, Ind., Oct. 29. "Why do we remember those who died in service to the nation or to God," Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Michael Lozano, 205th Infantry Brigade, First Army Division East, asked the group, "out of duty, obligation, necessity; out of fear; out of desire … "We keep the memory alive, because the memory -- to us as individuals or collectively -- is important to us," answered Lozano.
Even Hurricane Sandy can't stop mobilization training
Nov 2, 2012
With tight training windows to complete mobilization validation requirements, First Army trainers could not allow weather to affect mission accomplishment. Despite Hurricane Sandy knocking out power lines and causing trees to block roadways, the 174th Infantry Brigade, Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst, N.J., restarted mobilization training less than 36 hours after the storm.
Radiation threat training prepares chemical unit to support 32 countries
Oct 11, 2012
Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center, Ind. -- When the locals started complaining of nausea, vomiting and skin rashes, members of the 371st Chemical Company from Greenwood, S.C., immediately responded to what sounded like a possible radiation threat in the village. Radiation poisoning is extremely serious, so it was lucky for the villagers that the threat was only part of the 371st's mobilization training scenario.

Fresh out of prison, Teppo is trying to start a new life. But with the swastika tattooed on his arm and his skinhead friends following him everywhere, it's closed doors at every turn. When he meets a beautiful blonde at a café, the two forge a steamy connection. Later, Teppo is informed that she has a child from a previous relationship who will be staying with them… and he's black. Cue a cunning game of wits between Teppo and the young Rhamadhani, in which the two struggle with their conflicting views on race, patriotism, and violence. Once Teppo's unstable brother moves in, things really start to heat up. A surprisingly tender window into ground-level racial and economic tensions in modern-day Europe, HEART OF A LION creates multi-sided characters that are completely identifiable. Intense and moving, yet warm-hearted and even comical, Teppo and Rhamadhani's bond transcends skin color, class, and even bloodlines. (In Finnish with subtitles) —C.P.

Klipsch® Reference Series speakers receive rave reviews for their true-to-life sound quality. When Klipsch brought in a pair of their RB-61s, we were impressed with how these bookshelf speakers performed in our large training room the impact and bass response was on par with many floor-standing models.
The RB-61 use a horn-loaded tweeter. A flared opening in the enclosure projects high frequencies toward your listening area and prevents sound waves from simply spilling out in all directions. It's the same principle that makes your voice easier to hear when you cup your hands around your mouth. This horn design brings out details in everything you listen to, while reducing reflections that can color the sound. The horn also improves dynamics and efficiency, for powerful, "front row" sound that remains crystal-clear at all volume levels.
The RB-61's woofer dishes out smooth midrange and articulate, well-defined bass. Klipsch makes the woofer cone out of anodized aluminum, so it's strong yet lightweight. A rigid cabinet with resonance-fighting internal bracing houses both the woofer and the tweeter. It all adds up to remarkably accurate reproduction of all your music and movies.
You can build a great stereo system using the RB-61s and a subwoofer, or team them with other Reference Series speakers for high-impact home theater.
Recommended center channel speaker: Klipsch RC-52.
Recommended surround speakers: Klipsch RS-42.
Recommended subwoofer: Klipsch RW-10d.
Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.
Bought these site unseen from Crutchfield based on their advice. Wow. I'm replacing some old Boston Acoustic speakers that are 4 times their size and these absolutely blow them away. So far have seen no need for a sub woofer and the highs are magical. Dynamite in a black box. ALB
I wanted to upgrade my 10 year old 5.1 system with a quality system. I use my system for both listening to all types of music, watching TV, and movies. I looked for months and read all of the reviews I could find. After hearing some smaller Klipsch bookshelf speakers that I liked for there size and not finding a retail outlet that had the Reference series to audition I decided to just purchase some. I would have done this sooner if most of the sites in mid to south FL listed by Klipsch as retail outlets were still opened or not really installers. I got the RB-61 for stereo / front speakers and RC-52 for the center. The sound in the whole range from bass to high sounds is exceptional. Male or Female voices, guitars, cymbals, brass, woodwinds, pianos, and string instruments all sound very near to live. These are paired with Yamaha in ceiling dual tweeter surrounds, a Polk PSW110 subwoofer, and driven by a Sony DA4400ES receiver.
I ordered these speakers because I was looking to replace my Bose AM-5 speakers. The Klipsch RB-61s blow the sonic doors off the Bose units. The highs are tighter and there is enough bass that I am still debating whether I really need a subwoofer to complement them.
If you're looking for great sound at a reasonable price, check out the Klipsch RB-61s. Even if you're not completely satisfied with them, what other company do you know that makes it easier to return a product than Crutchfield?
I replaced some 10 year old stolen Klipsch with the Reference series and couldn't be happier. They look good, but sound even better. I was told years ago that if you want speakers more for music than theater, go Klipsch, but I now believe that I'd amend that to say just go Klipsch no matter what!
I upgraded my small front (L & R) Polk Audio RM6700 speakers to these medium sized Klipsch RB-61 book shelf speakers, and upgraded the Polk center speaker (2650) to the Klipsch RC-62 and the difference in audio quality is nothing short of dramatic. The RB-61's (& RC-62) have a much fuller sound and inherent larger bass quality. I also added the Klipsch RW-12d sub-woofer buddied with a Polk Audio PSW404 sub-woofer and the result is my "dream team" home theater speaker set up. The speakers are driven by an Onkyo TX-SR806 head unit.
Great speakers. Clean, crisp and powerful.
I recommend these speakers to all! I have not even fought that speakers I had before were so bad until I bought these. Even my wife agreed with me and approved the purchase.
I had been wanting to upgrade my old Bose Accoustimass 5 speakers to a home theater setup for while but wasn't sure what to get. Most HTIB options seemed to be made cheap and didn't sound that great. I have heard most of the Klipsch line-up of speakers, and they all sounded awesome, but most are too heavy to ship overseas to where I'm stationed.
Then I looked at the Klipsch reference bookshelf series that are available from Crutchfield. I never heard them in person before, but I trusted the Klipsch reputation for excellent speakers. So I ordered a pair of the RB-61s on-line and crossed my fingers that Crutchfield shipped to an APO address(most companies won't) and they do! Suprisingly they arrived in a week. I immediately hooked them up and I have to say I was not disappointed. They blew my old Bose away! The bass was unbelievable for a bookshelf, the highs are incredibly clear and true at all volume levels (I have a 12' x 20' living room, no problem with sound coverage), and they look great as well. I also ordered the RW-10d, RC-52, RS-42s from Crutchfield to round out my system so I'll do a review of those separately.
Thanks again Klipsch for making a great product and Crutchfield for outstanding customer service. I'll definitely be a repeat customer for both companies.
Yes, I made the jump to Klipsch ! I had been wanting a pair of Klipsch Speakers, ever since I heard a pair of my cousin Richs in 1984, although highly amplified, I was still impressed and wondered what they could do for me .
I was used to Acoustic Suspension speakers, and these are Bass Reflex. My first impression is a lasting one . You can get fuller ,richer bass and treble , at lower volumes. In fact , I find that higher volumes are discouraged , as , at the very highest , that of 75 % of my Recievers Amps output, the speakers of Bass Reflex design are boomy and overly sparkly. I therefore have settled to listen at a restrained volume, at which I get quite a satisfactory level of detail , and loud enough to fill the room with solid performance. And I have only begun . So far, its been only radio. Soon I will put the CD's on ! All in all, glad I did it , I'd do it again . Well worth the wait . But , I wish they came in Acoustic Suspension. When I contacted Klipsch about this , they informed me there is only one discontinued version who can be specially built for you , me, at prohibitive priceing though, The Heresy .So , I still have a wish , but feel fulfilled anyway , and grateful Crutchfield decided to offer Klipsch Speakers. My dream come true .

Overview: The Klipsch Reference Series RB-61 is a two-way bookshelf loudspeaker which delivers high-performance sound using Klipsch's advanced technologies, world-class materials and elegant design. The RB-61 employs a single 6.5-inch woofer and a Tractrix horn-loaded 1" titanium tweeter in a bass reflex cabinet.
Driver Technology
Enclosure Design
Mounting Options
Tractrix Horn Tweeter: The Klipsch RB-61 features a 1-inch titanium-diaphragm compression driver inside a square Tractrix Horn for smoother high-end response with greater extension, enhanced imaging and more powerful dynamics. The Tractrix Horn delivers a 90-degree wide by 60-degree high dispersion pattern for a broader sound-stage.
Cerametallic Woofer: The 6.5-inch woofer of the RB-61 bookshelf loudspeaker features Klipsch's distinctive, copper-colored Cerametallic material. Made with an anodized aluminum, this cone is strong and dent resistant. The anodizing process converts its inner and outer surfaces to ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer's operating range The 4-inch woofer also employ a rubber surround for added durability.
Crossover Network: The Klipsch RB-61's crossover network is constructed using extremely high-quality components including top-of-the-line internal wiring, polyester film-type capacitors and an air-core inductor to ensure signal purity and proper driver integration.
Bass Reflex Enclosure: The 6.5-inch Cerametallic cone woofer and 1-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver are mounted in a Bass reflex enclosure which features a front-firing port. The bass reflex enclosure features a MDF cabinet finished with a Black Ash wood-grain vinyl. The enclosure uses a low-diffraction sculpted cast aluminum front baffle to improve sound dispersion and features improved internal bracing to prevent unwanted resonance.
Magnetic Grille: The bookshelf loudspeaker features a removable magnetic grille which easily snaps into place over its cast-aluminum front baffle. The speaker can be used with or without its grille in place.
Dual Binding Posts: The speaker has two sets of binding posts connected by jumpers. Using the dual binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers.
Magnetically Shielded: The Klipsch RB-61 bookshelf loudspeaker is magnetically shielded to prevent video interference.
Feet: The speakers come supplied with eight self-adhesive rubber feet so you can sit the speakers on a stand or shelf securely. The rubber feet add approximately 0.3125" to the height of the speaker.
Note: These speakers are not equipped with a mounting bracket, keyhole slot or threaded insert.
Placement: The Reference Series bookshelf loudspeakers are designed to perform well in a wide variety of locations but you will get the most out of the speakers by following these simple guidelines.
Note: The Klipsch RB-61 bookshelf loudspeakers are packaged and sold as pairs.

Here is a look at a fascinating new body of works from renowned photographer Ryan McGinlay that will open on April 9 at Galerie Gabriel Rolt. Entitled 'Somewhere Place', 'McGinley's elaborate and rigorous process of photo-making creates moments of breathtaking beauty: naked feral kids poised in ecstatic abandon. The lack of clothing and other contemporary signifiers along with the archetypical landscapes give the photos a sense of timelessness in which the viewer can project his or her own story.'

Pantech Burst (AT&T) Review
The Pantech Burst combines fast 4G LTE speeds with a high-quality Super AMOLED display for a very good price.
(4 out of 5)
The Pantech Burst is hands-down one of the fastest phones anywhere for $49. The 4G LTE speeds are fantastic, and the tweaks Pantech made to the Android interface makes the UI more intuitive. The slow camera is a letdown, and we wish the battery lasted a bit longer, but overall, this smartphone is a great value. While some first-time smartphone owners on AT&T might prefer the more affordable and even more pocket-friendly Samsung Focus Flash running Windows Phone, Android fans will appreciate the Burst's true 4G data rates and larger Super AMOLED display.

- Very fast 4G LTE speeds
- Vivid Super AMOLED screen
- Lock screen shortcuts and other welcome UI tweaks
- Good overall performance
- Slow camera with fuzzy images indoors
- Short battery life in 4G LTE areas
