likely to seek egalitarian relationships wherein their independence would be maintained and nurtured, and identify violent relationships as contrary to their egalitarian ideals. It is also possible that such independent individuals might be more likely to simply leave a relationship before it escalates to a homicidal level because they fear their own exposure in a homophobic society and fear the resultant backlash that might further devalue an already marginal gay community. Although all of the above involve pure speculation, with further research we believe such issues might be identified as significant to our understanding of both homosexual and heterosexual battering.

Hey guys.
For the last 5-6 years ive been suffering from a bad case of social anxiety or social phobia. Basically i get very nervous when im around people that im not 100 percent comfortable with. I feel like people are watching me alot and it has completly changed who i am and how i percieve things and situations. I tried going on medication for it (Paxil is the devil)but it only made things worse. It has made me avoid way to many day to day events and activities which in the past i had no problem with involving myself in and i actually used to look forward to what i now avoid at any cost. I havent been in school for 2 years now ( im 20 years old) and people are starting to think im nothing but a **** up. I had 2 jobs for only 2 weeks before i quit becuase of how nervous i got in the work environment. Now To my QUESTION lolz What do you guys recommend as a job that would require as little human communication as possible. I know this sounds pathetic but i really need to find a job that im comfortable with so i can waste all my money on bike parts and stuff i dont need. I was thinking maybe a mail man but arent those jobs hard to get? Or even a bridge toll guy but ive heard those jobs are harder to get than mail jobs Im really at a point in my life where i feel kind of lost and need some direction.
If anyone can give me some input on the job situation i would greatly appreciate it.
God Bless

I will literally mail a $5 Starbucks card or gift $5 via paypal to the first person whose response gets me success. Then after all responses are provided and I'm successful with my issue, I'll also raffle off $5 to one of ALL respondents by random pick.
I can't figure out how to import midi timecode data from either an Ensoniq ASR-10 or Roland VS-880 Vxpanded into Logic Express 9, so I can then use Logic Express 9 as the master. No manuals seem to explain that; I just can't find it.
1. My ultimate goal will be to move all midi data from the Ensoniq ASR-10 floppies and all digital audio files from the VS-880 into Logic Express 9. Once the midi timing is imported into a Logic Express 9 file, I'll import the data from the Ensoniq & Roland via steps 2a & 2b below.
1a. Ten years ago I somehow (am in the process of re-learning what I did 10 years ago) imported the midi timing into the Roland VS-880 Vxpanded from the ASR-10, and then used the VS-880 as the Master to control the ASR-10. So my current status is that I use the Roland VS-880 as the master, and the Ensoniq ASR-10 as the slave.
2. FYI for anyone who might be in the same boat, wanting to transfer stuff from an Ensoniq ASR-10 and Roland VS-880 to the computer:
2a. I will import all midi sequence data from my ASR-10 floppy disks via a utility purchased here, which will all a PC to read Ensoniq-formatted disks, and then just hopefully cut/paste midi files into Logic Express 9 (FYI only): www.chickensys.com
2b. Then will import all the individual WAV files from my Roland VS-880 to Logic Express 9 using a method learned here (FYI only): http://www.vsplanet.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=985974&PHP SESSID=b1d2f57be4a1d37d49787400213b22df
2c. I'll then combine them all into Logic Express 9.
So - how the heck do I capture/import the midi timecode into Logic from either the roland or ensoniq using midi?
I'm don't think that cutting/pasting the midi data into a Logic Express 9 sequence file (step 2a above) will do that, because there are all kinds of tempo & time signature changes in the midi files unfortunately.
THANK YOU and Merry Christmas!!

Olympic medal winner, 82, 'competes' at London 2012 game
15:29 10 June 2012
IT may have been 60 years since Jean Pickering first took part in the Olympics, but her competitive spirit has not dwindled. Even if that means challenging her grandchildren on London 2012: The Official Videogame of the Olympic Games.
The 82-year-old bronze medallist in the 4x100m relay at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics was invited by computer giants Sega to test out its newest venture with her grandchildren Robert Quinlan, 19, and Caitlin, 16.
The Welwyn resident told the Welwyn Hatfield Times even her grandchildren were shocked by just how a spirited contestant she was.
"I managed to win a few times," said sprightly Jean, who was married to the late athletics coach and commentator Ron Pickering.
"It [playing the game on the console] has taken me by surprise at just how realistic it is.
"I don't usually play these games and don't get to play them with my grandkids; I'm from the wrong generation for it.
"But this has brought back many memories, and now I'm hoping to get one [a console and the game] – I need to practise!"
As a multi-discipline athlete in her day, it was only right that Jean should roll back the years and challenge her old personal bests over the 110m hurdles, 400m and long jump.
"The key seemed to be the reactions and timing," said Jean.
"Now that I'm getting older they're not as fast as they used to be, but something like this can certainly help improve them."
She added: "It's surprising at my age just how much I enjoyed this game, it was great fun and we had a few laughs."
For now, before getting an Xbox, Jean's next ambition is to attend one of the events at London 2012.
"I think it's what Ron would have wanted," added the Wendover Place resident, who set up the Ron Pickering Memorial Fund to provide grants for developing young athletes.
"Back in 1948, we saw it together in London, and I remember it was quite impressive. He prophesied that it would return and he said the only place could be the Lee Valley region, so it's amazing to see these facilities just a mile-or-so from where I grew up.
"I've had lots of tickets, but I've given many to friends as I wont be able to attend; but I would love to see the final of the women's hurdles and/or the long jump."
London 2012: The Official Videogame of the Olympic Gamess will be available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It is out on June 29.

Texas cop succumbs to injuries following crashOfficer Down: Adam Davis - [Bell County, Texas]
PoliceOne Member since 02/19/2005
By PoliceOne Staff
BELL COUNTY, Texas — A Bell County Sheriff's Deputy died Wednesday morning from injuries sustained in a rollover accident earlier this month.
Adam Davis, 36, was responding to reports of a man displaying a gun in public when he crashed his cruiser, according to KWKT.
He suffered severe head injuries and was taken off a respirator 10 days after the accident.
"Adam enjoyed serving the public," said Sheriff Eddy Lange. "It wasn't about writing tickets or putting people in jail. That's not what he wanted to do. He wanted to serve his fellow citizens, and he did that very well. And he made the final sacrifice doing exactly that."
Davis had served with the Bell County Sheriff's Office for six years and had previously served with the Troy Police Department and Rogers Police Department, according to ODMP.

This is another paradox that I've been working on for a couple of days. It describes a person with psychological problems such as schizophrenia, insanity, depression or other mental problems. His endless screaming makes his own mind eat him up.

I was saying it's not original because you 'stole' it from someone, the drawing is old and it's someone else' work, that's why I said (me and other people) that's it's not your idea, you shoud've said that you copied or something and not take the idea as your own, but other than that it's really well done, I like it so keep up the good work, just credit people when you should
some trippy shit!
Hi Sebmaestro, i am creating an easy to navigate and understand website for teenagers about mental illness. On the website there will be an art page that will feature two types of art: what it feels like to have an illness (dark side) and the lighter side concerning hope and it is possible to live normally with one. i was wondering if i could feature your artwork in the gallery - there will be a link to this page next to the featured image, also your name (either DA name or real name) if you are interested let me know
many thanks, steph
many thanks, steph
Yeah, of course. I'm honoured
thank you so much, i really appreciate your support, i will send you the link when the website is near completion so you can be one of the first too see it
There was a guy in my school who did a picture like this, except he just had his face inside his open mouth, over and over. It wasn't like one continuous face like this
so tell me.........HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME!!?
Wow, i can see how this music can be addicting as well as the imagry its paired with! Thanks for showing me!
Cool idea!
[wow, really the kind of drawing I love. It's make you think... more expressive than words.]
Very powerful concept. Congrats on the DD.

Day 48: Why Time Warner claims Channel 4 gave up dial location
In 1947, WTMJ-TV became the first commercial television station in Wisconsin and the 15th nationally to broadcast commercially, according to "Milwaukee Television History: The Analog Years," by Dick Golembiewski. But it did not begin life at the now familiar Channel 4 dial location.

MSO goes into chamber orchestra mode at UWM's Zelazo Center
Lurking within the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is a fine chamber orchestra, which came out to play at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Zelazo Center Friday evening.
The difference between a symphony orchestra and a chamber orchestra is size, the chamber orchestra the much smaller of the two. Repertoire for a chamber orchestra usually consists of baroque or early classical music, or more modern music specifically written for the smaller ensemble. »Read Full Article

Sabougnouma...MaliAgricultureFunding via Réseau de Micro-institutions de Croissance de Revenus (RMCR)
Fotemogoban Group
The women are all retailers of high-quality wax pagnes (traditional, wrap-around clothing), plastic shoes, cereals and soaps. All the members of the group would like to improve their income from their businesses so, they have decided to work with the field partner, Soro Yiriwaso. This will be their first group loan.
Malo (sitting on the far right of the photo) has built up a strong reputation for the high quality of the clothing which she sells. She will use her loan to buy ten wax pagnes from wholesalers at the main market. She will then resell them in Kanadjiguila on foot, to a clientele made up mainly of women. Malo hopes to make an average monthly profit of 25,000 francs CFA, which she will use to reinvest in her business and provide for some of the needs of her children.
Madame Malo (femme assise à l'extrême droite sur la photo) a une réputation dans la vente des habits (pagnes wax) de meilleures qualités. Elle compte utiliser son prêt pour acheter 10 pièces de pagnes wax en gros au grand marché. La revente se fait en détails à Kanadjiguila et en ambulant à une clientèle constituée majoritairement de femmes. Madame Malo espère réaliser avec ce prêt un bénéfice mensuel moyen de 25 000 FCFA qui sera utilisé, pour être réinjecté dans l'activité et subvenir aux petits besoins des enfants.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals.

The long waits that plagued early voting in North Carolina haven't turned up on Election Day.
Several counties reported some lines of a few dozen people when polls opened Tuesday morning. But they quickly abated as sites processed those pre-workday voters. North Carolina's largest counties reported little or no waits at polling sites throughout much of the day, and some precincts only had a trickle of voters coming to cast a ballot.
The overwhelming turnout that sustained through the early voting period that ended Saturday processed some 2.6 million voters. Because of that, elections officials expected about 2 million people to vote Tuesday.
State Board of Elections director Gary Bartlett now says the turnout will fall below his earlier guess.

Dead Space 3- Melting ice- Jason Felix by jason-felixWatch
©2013-2016 jason-felix
Some more Dead Space 3 art. Melting an iced over facility,
Reminds me of the first Alien movie where the dude with the baseball cap gets taken by the Alien. You did a great job capturing that same eerie feeling!
I picked up the Art of Dead Space. One of the best the Art of books I own. It is unfortunate they didn't use this in the final game. The concept is extremely creepy. I could imagine it being dead quiet with just the sound of chains moving and water hitting the floor. Great great job Mr. Felix!
Cool man. I have yet to see the book, but glad to hear it came out looking great. Yeah, you nailed it on the head. Canceling out the audio by having only falling water and chains would 'up' the creep factor,

How effective are the University of Alaska Anchorage's academic programs and services?
According to two new prioritization reports, faculty and staff say some should get more investments while others should be reduced or even phased out.
Even though these detailed reviews are coming out as the statewide university system is experiencing a budget shortfall, UAA leaders say the findings have nothing to do with cuts. Because with every aspect of campus being looked at, this gives them a chance to see what's working, and what's not.
Focusing on the mission to discover and share knowledge gained from its institution, UAA asked some of its faculty and staff to review all of its 313 academic programs and 178 support functions that are conducted on campus. Using a template that put every program and function into five categories based on demand and success, an academic and a support task force determined if the programs should be considered high priorities, be put somewhere in the middle, or if they should be reduced or eliminated.
While enhancing the textbook process in the bookstore and programs like nursing and social work were top choices, the Wells Fargo Sports Complex's athletic facilities along with offering music and chemistry as majors were put in the bottom. An up close and personal look that the university says is not a ranking system or was done because of possible cuts.
"The categories, just give us a place to start to start thinking about what we need to do next," said Kristin DeSmith, who is the Assistant Vice Chancellor for university relations for UAA. "We have certificate programs where no one has been enrolled in them for several years, so this gives us a chance to say do we need this certificate program or not."
But with UAA coming off a year where it had to slash $7 million dollars, Professor Diane Hirshberg who was also on the task force says the reality for the future is in figuring out what programs are the most effective.
"Unfortunately in our fiscal climate we can't do everything here, so how well do programs actually demonstrate that they are aligned with our mission and our strategic plan and also how well do they talk about what they could do if they were given additional resources," said Hirshberg.
Resources that in the face of hard times that many feel need to be invested wisely. Although UAA campuses range from the Mat-Su to Kodiak, these prioritizations only covered the Anchorage campus.
UAA says in September it will visit and talk with programs that made the lower tier categories and will release implementation in the winter. Any academic changes will go into place by fiscal year 2016 but any service changes could come quicker.

It is an intriguing name; I see the drawbacks mentioned by kala_way. I think spelling Edonie would simplify pronouncing (if my pronounciation is correct). I prefer ed over id.Lover of names: Classic, Literary, Historical, or whatever strikes my fancy!

Idony? I-don-know. It's a little out there. If my name is Idony, I might be jealous of my sister Laurel. It reminds me of Ebony and Ivory. The first two letters are striking to me. possible nickname:Id plus texters and young people use Idk and Idc all the time. (translation I don't know and I don't care.)
I would pronounce it like Ivory if I saw it somewhere. My advice:keeping looking, it's not awful, you could you use it. I dun know. It's up to you.

I agree that it sounds made up. I also personally don't find it to be a pretty sound - it is sort of clunky. If you do use it, make sure it goes with your last name and doesn't end up sounding like a sentence - "I don't eat ...." (much like the issues that can arise with Ida).
I like the suggestions of Iona and Isolde much better.

I think it looks pretty spelled on paper...but I have no clue how to say it. That isn't a bad thing but I would just need to hear how you say it! I think it's definitely usable.Mom to Mhairi Elizabeth (March 19, 2010) & Fiona Lilidh (Dec 21, 2012) Baby #3 Due March 2014

Hi everyone,
I'm not a regular in this section of the forums, but I had a quick question, and my search didn't yield any results (at least that I found). I've had problems with cramping calves during long rides and races, despite good stretching and hydration (usually one bottle of water and one of 50-50 gatorade/water). A friend suggested that I give electrolyte tabs a try. Does anyone have any advice on which brands I should check out, and where I might find them?

Unwrap a Post-Christmas Silence
If we cannot wonder, how can we presume to know the Timeless and Eternal God? Without wonder, how may we know ourselves? How do we remember that time is a construct to which we must not become enslaved?
By what means shall we know that, when we are so deeply immersed in the seasonal pronouncements of Madison Avenue, where Christmas begins (at the latest) in early November and ends on December 26, whence commences Valentine's Day? In all times and seasons the media-message is a weirdly incongruous (and John Lennonesque) amalgam of "be here now" and "serve yourself."
Well, all right then! For 2012, resolve to be here now, and to serve yourself, but do it in this most excellent way: by cultivating silence and overcoming time within one of the classic disciplines of daily prayer—where the pulse of the psalms calms the breath, the pockets of silence center the spirit, and the liturgical calendar frees us from the shackles of time.
For many Christians, this means the Liturgy of the Hours. Whether in book or digi-form, a breviary is a gift that, unwrapped and utilized, trains us in the procurement of silence and lures a time-out-of-joint into lustrous submission.
And it reminds us of the real time in which we live, or should be living. Though the commerce-exhausted secular holiday is past for another year, Christmas is far from over. Rather, in the breviary its prayers are continued, renewed each morning and again at Vespers: "In the beginning, before time began, the Word was God; today he is born, the Savior of the world."
The mystery, the wonder, the gladness; it has not ended. Each day in the Octave of Christmas the words are cast again upon the air, resonating like ripples out into the world and reclaiming time from its insistent march away, always away, from what is before us.
In the Liturgy of the Hours, we are invited to stay, and to wonder and to marvel, and to not slip back into the rush, the illusion, the purposeful march away. In our silent wondering we find our knowing, and in our knowing, we find real joy.

I didn't take a beach vacation this winter, but my mother was conscientious in sending me daily dispatches from her Aruba trip. The e-mails, which
I didn't take a beach vacation this winter, but my mother was conscientious in sending me daily dispatches from her Aruba trip. The e-mails, which could have been ghost-written by the island's tourism bureau, extolled sunny skies, warm seawater and the pleasures of drinking a rare strawberry daiquiri in a thatch hut. She also updated me on her restaurant meals, including a character sketch of her favorite chef.
"Apparently, people have the nerve to ask him for recipes of his dishes," she wrote. "He does comply & comes out to the table & writes them down for the customer, not even leaving out a critical ingredient."
I've never considered it poor form to ask for a recipe in a restaurant: I'd always assumed the chef would consider the request a compliment. But an informal survey of acquaintances suggests many diners who -- like my parents -- eat out no more than four or five times a month, have consigned the practice to the rude column. They apparently figure asking a chef for a recipe is like asking a janitor for his broom. Or, more precisely, like asking a janitor for his broom and then starting to sweep the floor, since the request implies the receiver is capable of doing a better job than the pro.
Having tried to follow restaurant recipes printed in cookbooks, I'm pretty sure most chefs don't have to fear their customers will successfully replicate their dishes at home. It takes commercial equipment and a skilled kitchen staff to produce the very best restaurant food. But since I've never written a recipe, I decided to check in with a chef who has devised recipes worth safeguarding.
"As a chef, it is a huge honor to be asked for the recipe," says Robin Leventhal, late of Crave Bistro. "I am a giver."
Leventhal is confident "the food will never taste as good as when we cook it for you," but admits she withheld a few popular recipes at Crave.
"At one point, I was considering a Crave cookbook, so I have turned down a few people along the way," she says. "Especially our shiitake mac & cheese and our goat cheese gnocchi, two of the most requested recipes."
Leventhal has since shared the Mac & Cheese recipe with KCTS9, but recipes for her gnocchi and "Big As Yo' Mama's Face" chocolate-chip cookies still aren't in circulation. It might be worth asking.

Metrolink Financing May Stall Crucial Bills Face Legislative Battle
Terry Ganey Post-Dispatch Jefferson City Bureau Chief, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
The Missouri Legislature has taken its mid-term break, a weeklong vacation that gives lawmakers time to plot courses for their bills during the last half of the legislative session.
Bills identified by leaders as top priorities - campaign reform, anti-crime measures and welfare reform - have advanced to a point that final passage appears possible before adjournment on May 13.
But two issues considered crucial to the St. Louis area may be in trouble: Tougher auto emission inspections and financing for MetroLink.
By this midway point in the General Assembly's session, it is best that a bill have made it through either the House or the Senate to have a chance of final passage. That leaves the second half of the session to get a bill through the other house.
But the auto emissions inspections and mass transit funding are hung up in the state Senate and still face full scrutiny in the House. The auto emissions inspection measure, sponsored by Sen. Wayne Goode, D-Normandy, still needs first-round and then final approval in the Senate.
The Senate has given first-round approval to a local-option sales tax plan to fund MetroLink. But the bill, sponsored by Sen. John Scott, D-St. Louis, is bogged down in the Senate Budget Committee. And it still needs final Senate passage before going to the House.
House Speaker Bob Griffin, D-Cameron, said last week that if the Senate passes both bills, he will act to accelerate the movement of both through the House.
"They will be put together as one bill to get the necessary support for both," Griffin said in an interview last week. "Different people want different bills. You bring the people who want each of the proposals together and that creates enough support for both."
The fate of the clean-air bill and rapid-transit funding are crucial to the St. Louis area.
Federal officials have threatened to cut off hundreds of millions of highway construction dollars and halt industrial growth in the St. Louis area unless air pollution is reduced. The tougher auto emission inspections, which the Legislature must approve, is one way the state can respond.
But there is opposition. For example, Sen. Danny Staples, D-Eminence, represents a district that includes southern Jefferson County.
"I have 20,000 people who are adamantly against it," Staples said. "The threat of highway funding money is always there when Big Brother wants something."
The future of MetroLink hangs on Scott's bill. The light-rail service is operating with borrowed money, a $10 million loan from the Missouri Highway Department. …

Android is the name of the popular operating system for mobile devices (phone and tablet) created by Google. In order to browse the Internet, a device needs a web browser in order to display pages. Although Android comes with a default browser, there are many others available that offer extra features designed to make your browsing experience easier or more enjoyable.
Choosing a mobile browser on Android is no simple task due to a bewildering array of choices in the Play Store. However, one of the biggest advantages of Google's operating system is the huge variety of both apps and browsers that are available.
Another feature of Android is the wide variety of devices that it will run on. From very low resolution, low powered 2" screens, to screamingly fast 10" + tablets that would put some PCs to shame.
This means that no one solution works best on all those devices, even before you consider personal choice and the different browsing habits of the user.
All is not lost though! There are a number of factors that may make your decision easier, and I will try to cover those in the article to point you in the direction of apps that are likely to work in your situation.
For those looking for a quick answer, read the section below. If you want a little more detail, scroll down to The Long Answer and full reviews.
This is the first revision of the review, and it can only improve with your input. Feel free to comment and make suggestions below.
Go straight to the Quick Selection Guide
In my opinion, if you have a reasonably recent piece of hardware running a recent version of Android (2.2+) then the best choices are:
1st Choice: Opera Mobile
Alternative: Dolphin Browser
If you have an older machine, or lower spec hardware:
1st Choice: Dolphin Browser Mini
Alternative: Opera Mini
As detailed above, various factors may affect the decision as to your final browser. I discuss these factors in more depth below, and then will try to offer a review of every browser.
Limiting Factors:
Small screen size & resolution
The smaller the screen, the more important it is that your browser does not waste any of that valuable screen real estate with superfluous buttons. If screen size is limited, you may in fact find that the built in browser is best customised to work with your hardware restrictions. If you want to try alternatives though, features like full screen mode and good zoom and pan controls are a must. The ability to effectively re-wrap text to fit within the screen as you zoom will also be essential.
1st Choice: Dolphin Browser Mini
Alternative: Opera Mini
Low powered deviceOn a low powered device, you want the browser to load quickly and add the minimum of overhead. You may well be best ignoring features such as Flash (often resource hungry) and add-ons in order to obtain snappy browsing speeds
1st Choice: Dolphin Browser Mini
Alternative: Opera Mini
Limited data connection speed/limit
Websites are getting bigger...In the early years of the Internet when dial up modems were the norm, website designers would spend hours honing their sites to be the smallest possible, to ensure a speedy experience for their users. With the advent of cheap broadband that is largely no longer the case. Instead designers seem sometimes locked in a battle to see how many images and flashing ads they can fit on one page at once!
However, on a mobile, data speeds can still be in dial up modem territory. Whilst 3G and (in some places) 4G have helped, the extra speed often comes with a pathetically small data limit, even on so called 'unlimited' data plans.If you regularly browse image laden websites, or spend all your time watching YouTube videos, you might find that you hit your data cap sooner rather than later. If you're lucky, you'll just be limited to a slower speed until the end of the month - if you're not so lucky you'll suddenly find charges on your bill for the extra data.
Some of the browsers below attempt to help, by collecting the pages for you on their servers, compressing larger images and files, then squirting the smaller, leaner file to your mobile device. In most cases, you won't notice the quality difference, but you may notice the faster load times.If you are on a very small data cap, or need the fastest browsing you can on a slow data speed, then the clear choice here is Opera Mini (or Opera Mobile if the phone is more capable). Both these browsers include the 'Opera Turbo' technology, which aims to reduce the amount of data each webpage uses.
Note: For the privacy conscious amongst you, the Opera Turbo technology means in effect that Opera acts as a 'proxy' for your connection and could, in theory, read everything your browser shows. If you are using secured browsing (https://) websites then the connection is direct and this cannot happen. In practice, this is unlikely to be an issue for many, but it is something to be aware of.
1st Choice: Opera Mini
Alternative: Opera Mobile
Current desktop ecosystemIt may not appear initially relevant, but this factor could end up being the decisive factor in your choice. If you run a particular browser on your main computer, and want to sync bookmarks easily between your PC and android device, then you will need to choose one that is compatible. In most cases that will mean using the same software on both, although in a few cases there are workarounds.
In general however, the Opera Android browser will only sync with the Opera desktop browser, Firefox and Chrome likewise.You may need to decide whether the ability to sync bookmarks is important to you. If you tend not to browse the same pages on both, or in fact specifically want to keep the bookmarks separate, then you can ignore this factor entirely when making your decision.
If you do want to sync though, bear in mind that when browsing certain sites on your Android device, the site may detect you are using a mobile browser and serve up a different page without some of the frills, giving you a different experience. There are ways to avoid this, although often the mobile pages are easier to use on a smaller device and more touch friendly.
There are alternatives that will synchronise your bookmarks between any browser but they are generally not free and so outside the scope of this website.
1st Choice: dependent on users' needs
Compatibility / Accessibility
For some, the websites you surf will restrict your choice of browser. Particularly in corporate environments, internal web apps may only work on certain browsers. Services such as banks, which require you to log in, may not work well on certain mobile browsers, if at all. Many browsers are also not well adapted to those with accessibility issues, such as limited vision, poor finger control. In this area, the reviewers' knowledge is limited so any suggestions, comments or experience is welcomed in the comments below. In general however, it may be that Dolphin Browser is the one to work best here, purely because it has so many add-ons, some of which may make it easier to customise the browser to your specific needs
1st Choice: Dolphin Browser
Opera Mobile is still the browser to beat for all round performance, reliability and ease of use. The experience Opera have from their desktop browser shines through with simple touches that make all the difference to an excellent browsing experience. When scrolling in a long page, a simple 'jump to top/bottom' navigation button will pop up. If clicking on an area with several links, the browser will automatically zoom in to allow you to choose the correct link.
Along with that it has the most reliable Flash support in my experience, multi-tab browsing, a simple user interface, full bookmark and browsing history support, a built in download manager, the ability to save a page for future reading, and Opera's 'Turbo' feature, using their servers to compress your pages and images to save on download times and data costs. If you only have one browser on your Android device, it should be this one.
The only criticisms are slightly confusing management of multiple tabs and a lack of add-ons, along with no quickly accessible full screen mode.
Opera Mini is designed as a fast and light browser for those who have slow download speeds or high data costs. As pages are browsed, Opera's servers fetches them and compresses images to provide a faster browsing experience. This does require accepting Opera's ability to protect your privacy, although all the evidence is that they do (and https secure browsing is always encrypted end to end). It doesn't offer Flash support, but if you are in a poor connection area or want to manage your download then Opera Mini is a good choice as it has most of the features of its bigger brother and runs on practically any device of any age.
The drawback is that some more advanced pages will not render correctly and Flash/video is not an option. You must also accept the privacy implications of retrieving all your data through Opera's servers, although this is unlikely to be a major issue for most.
Dolphin Browser has long been a fixture on the Android platform and they have always tried to keep ahead of the pack by adding features. They also supply Dolphin Browser Mini (see below) but this is their most powerful offering, with all the features you would expect on a mobile browser and many you might not.
The app features easy multi-tab browsing, excellent bookmark and browsing history support, multi-touch zooming, simple navigation, Flash and HTML5 support, versatile add-ons, gesture control and a unique 'Sonar' voice recognition feature.
The interface in particular is excellent, with a swipe from the left side of the screen opening a bookmarks/history menu, and a swipe from the right giving you immediate access to installed add-ons
If you like to tinker and want the most features, Dolphin is an excellent choice and the choice of add-ons is impressive.
Note that there have been privacy concerns with Dolphin in the past, although they have addressed them in more recent updates - you can read the details here.
Dolphin Browser Mini is the little brother of the full featured HD browser, and is designed to be lighter, simpler, and less resource heavy. Despite this, it still has the same excellent multi-tab browsing, bookmarks management, multi-touch zooming and Flash support with less of the clutter which will appeal to some, especially on slower devices.
If you want to browse almost anything, but without the memory and resource footprint, Dolphin Browser Mini should certainly be high on your list.
The only drawbacks are lack of the excellent add-ons support of its bigger brother, and the slightly less sophisticated interface.

- OK a few points - ideally use DuckDuckGo as I cannot abide anything to do with Google as other peoples s/w is about 10mb - Google's can be up to 140mb and it saves everything (seen talk of History files of 5Gb) it's S/W is so bloated that I just want any other s/w BUT Google.
- Opera was just a pain (Couldn't stop it tracking)
- Opera mini - seemed ok and better than Opera but still not as good as or as fast as UC (Couldn't stop it tracking)
- UC 13Mb Fast, simple (AdBlock already installed) - still can't find how to use DuckDuckGo (Couldn't stop it tracking)
Don't like to exaggerate, but do believe it to be the fastest to surf with.
I am not surprising and more and more confirmed that android apps are NOT tested (It laucnhs ?....OK just put it on web store) And Why do they need to know the phone numbers of my contacts !
By fact we are all beta testers and we take risks to use the apps
It is very easy to use with speed dial,tabs and clean interface(light on resources).
maxathon is good, doesn't work well with a 2G connection, last time i checked,was far surpassed by dolphin mini..
dolphin vs opera mobile...
dolphin is solid and is reliable, however on a low end device ... becomes slow with more than one tab open..
opera mobile is a safer solution , and 'feels' much ,much more robust, u may need to manage your cache more often than with dolphin for a better experience thought...
Thanks all for pointing towards UC Browser - tried Google - It knows exactly what I typed in my Windows machine - Good if you like it's spying - I don't.
- Dolphin (intrusive and tries as hard as possible to sell stuff and at the end of the day wasn't simple) It may be OK but I gave up. (Couldn't stop it tracking)
Other people may find Opera or Opera Mini or Dolphin but I like UC so thanks for the advice.
Never heard of this one until yesterday.
UC Browser
My personal favorite is Dolphin browser as its user interface is the best, it is quite faster than other browsers available for android devices & it has support for almost everything we generally run on a typical smartphone. UC browser comes a close second but there isn't any match for dolphin browser.
Uc Browser : good performances, very good on youtube like sites, bad on plugins (no ad block, a few useless), a few crash, fortunately good recovers when you as, *** BUT *** after having opened a few site, it popups a Nag screen that you can't cancel (you can't quit UC Browser neither), it forces you to install an android antivirus. It is too bad and sad that they need to disturb us when we are watching web sites. A serious doubt about their "cloud" used to fasten the download stream : Links seem to be corrupted by ugly porn sites.
Dolphin Browser : bad performance when multiple tabs, sometimes crash, very bad handle full screen videos (it begins again from 0, download again the video... the others browsers are better on that point).
Opera : Often crashes, but no Nagscreen, I try it time to time.
Maxthon : overall quite good, often crash BUT no so evident to use (try to find history). It is a serious app.
Skyfire : often crashes, some websites don't work at 100% (javascript, flash ?)
next browser : guite good but why does it play with the aspect ratio ? How to quit ? Go back, then go back, then go back 20 times and double tap "back" ! Doesn't recover the last session.
Firefox : not finished (compared to their reputation). In my opinion, they suplly an uncomplete app to say "Hey guys ! We are developping for Android" not more. And they generate traffic to justify the $$ (like a hundred thousand others).
All browser that I have tried, have already crashed once.
Please review Next Browser.I use it for some time and now is my default browser.
Okay, I'm here to offer a minimalistic view on low end android devices, Opera Mobile is great on low end devices too, UC browser mini,is outstanding when it comes to data saving , however at the cost of page functionality. its also note worth that Opera mini gets u were u want to be..
Opera for Android can synch - but it's intensely annoying about it.
