LG enV2 ReviewLG enV2 8
The reception and call quality on the enV2 are both excellent and have improved since the enV. We were able to place and receive calls in most fringe areas where the enV had trouble holding a signal. Call quality through the earpiece speaker was clear and lacked any background noise or interference. People that we called on a landline also agreed that the enV2 produced good sound quality, with our voice being clear and lacking any interference. We also noticed that we could turn the earpiece volume up to highest level without any noticeable distortion or "white noise" sound, unlike the Voyager. However, when using the speakerphone we did have to keep the volume down to medium, otherwise the stereo speakers would cause distortion.
The included 950 mAh battery is rated by LG to have 5 hours of talk time or 21 days of standby time on a full charge. During our testing, we were able to achieve 6 hours of continuous talk time by fully charging the battery, dialing a landline, and keeping the enV2 connected until the battery was depleted. Standby time was an impressive 8 days and was measured with the battery fully charged and the phone left on (yet unused) until the battery was depleted. These results are remarkably good; considering the talk time and standby time is almost double that of what we got using the enV and Voyager.
We are highly impressed with the overall improvements that have been made with the new enV2. It features a more modern and simplistic design with less bulk and more streamlined appearance, larger front dialpad, redesigned QWERTY keypad, larger internal display, 2MP camera, stereo speakers, and supports microSD cards up to 8GB; with the only thing missing here is an HTML browser and an Autofocus system for the camera. We recommend it for anyone that is looking for a reasonably priced phone with excellent call quality and reception, while also requiring a built in QWERTY keypad and other useful features. We also believe that the enV2 is a better device for text messaging when compared to the Samsung Alias U740, due to the fact its QWERTY keypad is rather small, since the buttons cramped together, which causes frequent typing errors. However, for those looking for a higher-end device, the Voyager is the way to go. It has almost every feature one could want, including a full 2.8" touchscreen on the front, secondary display on the inside with QWERTY keypad, stereo speakers, and Mobile TV support.
- Redesigned and modern appearance
- 2.4" QVGA internal display
- Excellent call quality and signal reception
- 6 hours of talk time on a full battery
- Supports up to 8GB microSDHC memory cards
- Small external display
- WAP browser
- Speakerphone causes distortion at high volumes
- Does not include a microUSB data cable

Okay seriously this really is more or less a downgrade from the vx9900 Env. Lets go over the actual specs here, first the Navigation Pad has no left of right buttons on the face, also the camera doesn't have a cover like on the vx9900 nor does it have auto focus. Granted you have a micro usb port now you still cant really overlook the fact that it is crippled compared to the vx9900.

Well you can have left or right buttons on the face of your phone if you want but it wont do anything due to the front menu not requiring them.

If you are so in love with the past, keep it. Fact: Thinner, shorter, better outer keypad. Inner keyboard perfect for texting. Fact: Battery life approx.50% longer than enV Fact: Larger internal screen. Issue: no auto-focus - honey, please hold still for 30 seconds Issue: Camera missing a bump - get a case Pocket calls - same answer I had the enV, and liked it very much, however, I like the enV2 much more; so much so that I got the enV2 the day it came out after checking out the glyde.

Crippled? Wtf dude, don't be a dumbass. Name ONE feature this doesn't have that the vx900 had? Come on... just one. Fact is, this is A HELL OF A LOT less bulky while still being extremely text friendly and doubling the battery life of the original (which I thought was pretty good when I had it). Just because you get all but hurt when a new phone is shed in a favorable light to your precious enV doesn't mean you have to post retarded comments online.

Here's a feature the enV2 doesn't have, a bigger front screen and the capability to go into more menus (like the 9900 could) .... THAT irritates ME..... the front screen on the new env did NOT Have to be so small. They could have sacrificed the HUMONGOUS size of the keys just a TAD to make the screen a little bigger so you could have more functions. Having to open it to do EVERYTHING is a pain if you ask me.
36. bk2 (unregistered)
Just curious...what made you choose the enV2 over the Glyde?
5. DeeMan (unregistered)
Everybody ( including PhoneArena ) forgot to mention the one feature that makes this one of the coolest phones in the VZW lineup ... the fact that you can do over-the-air firmware upgrades and eliminate the need to have it done in the store.

s/LG-enV2-Review-review-r_1945-p_3.html"One new feature on the enV2 is that it's the first LG phone for Verizon to support FOTA (firmware over the air). This will allow customers to download the latest firmware for the phone without the need for visiting a store and having a technician install it. This is a valuable time-saver for both consumers and employees and we are pleased to see it starting to be implemented. We tested the FOTA, but since our enV2 has the currently latest firmware (V03), it did not download or install any updates."

I've been using the orinal lgvx9800 for 2 years. I recently upgraded my phone to the env2. I definently can say that to a certain extent, that this phone is somewhat a downgrade. Here is what i mean LG Vx9800 Can browse games section quite heavily , the env2 does'nt allow you to do so External had more buttons and you could go to your ringtones , photos, and tools section . the env2 does'nt allow you to do this Keypad was more spacey on the 9800 which was somewhat a flaw because i had to move my fingers everywhere to get to the keys. which i still respect on the 9800 Photo quality was a lot better and included a flash More bulkier. i had drop this phoen so many times and it still withheld its image . Had more wallpaper Overall view: I like the env2 and i am not complaining at all . It's suppose to be an improvement from the 9900 and 9800. and it is. I am definently keeping this phone, it's thin and lightweight, and i only paid $50 for it! I like the larger buttons on it. onthe 9800 you had more buttons on the front which was okay with me but they were smaller. I like the professional look on the env2 and i believethat's important. If your a person who want's the Qwerty keypad , a nice phone and does'nt come with a lot of features that you know you will not use, then i say give this phone a try. it's not as bad as what people make it out to believe.
11. elgee02 (unregistered)
9800 camera better? lol I had the 9800, I had the 9900, now I have the 9100... you are full of crap on the camera.

this is not the first phone to offer FOTA. The samsung u340 has had it for a long time.

check the text :) "One new feature on the enV2 is that it's the first LG phone for Verizon to support FOTA..."
13. (unregistered)
I did check the text, it is incorrect. The u340 has been out for much longer and it supports FOTA.
14. (unregistered)
Then you must not be very smart. It says "One new feature on the enV2 is that it's the first LG phone for Verizon to support FOTA (firmware over the air)." That means it's the FIRST LG PHONE FOR VERIZON WITH FOTA. The U340 was the FIRST SAMSUNG PHONE WITH FOTA. You think some people could understand that.

My bad I did not catch that.

will someone puh-lease tell meh how long it takes the enV2 to charge after u wear out the battery on the day u get it?
21. (unregistered)
1.5-2 hours...depends on how much you run it down, i have it and if i charge it with 1 bar its about 1.5 hours...if i let the battery run til the phone shuts off its 2 hours..pretty quick if you ask me

okay, i've been excited about this phone since i saw it in the store 2 weeks ago. there is one thing holding me back. while it's on the same level with other lg phones, the camera isn't on par with other brands that i've seen. i'm not sure how important this will be in the long run, but it has left me wondering if this is the right phone for me. the best camera by far that i've seen on a verizon phone is the razr. what about video quality when recording a video for youtube etc-anyone have experience?
34. tried every brand (unregistered)
If the best camera you have experienced is the razr then you should take a look at other phones. I've been a VZW customer for about 5 years & have had Samsung, Motorola & LG. LGs take better photos than the Motorolas by far. If you're really looking for a great camera, the best brand to go with is Samsung. The flipshot is made specifically for the camera. Regardless of whether you choose the flipshot or not the photo quality is great on almost all Samsung phones.

hey guys i go thru cell phones like a baby goes thru diapers, ok since oct 2006 i have been thru 4 razors, 3 samsung sch-u740, 3 lg env, 5 (i lost count) motorola q, and now i am on my 2nd env2 ugh...... ok the razors, they was cool back in 06, but alot has came out, when they first came out they froze all the flippin time!!! and if u dropped it, it was over, the quality of these phones supposely came up, but still the package it outdated, even the razor 2 dont sell that good!!! its for a reason, consumers talk!!!! ok my first samsung sch-u740- it was a great phone, i got it back in may 2007, had it until aug 2007 i gave it to my grandma, i beat the hell out of that phone, i dropped it like everyday at work, i worked at subway, so the floors were hard, lol i dropped it in the sink since we listened to music all the time at work, it worked very well even when i gave it to my grandmother. ok the motorla Q- where do i begin......... this phone basically sucks, but i had the older verizon, thank god they came out with a newer, which by the way i heard sucked as well. it would constantly freeze, they swapped it out so many times, and they just dont play loud enough such as music, the camera is worthless (but it has a bright flash, for when u loose your keys at night). that is all it has going for it, heck i can buy alot of flashlights for the price of this phone!!! OK now i got another sch-u740 in april 2008, i was just tired of the Q so i went back to what i loved, well i didnt love it anymore, my phone the hinge broke with in 10 days as well as the screen!!!! well i got another one and it broke within 2 days, it was freezing and restarting, etc. so i went back to verizon and told them they have to do something, well they swapped it out for a new env2. i was like ok and the sad thing is the env2 was cheaper than my sch-u740. the ENV2, it is ok, but for a new phone that came out in 2008 i hope LG left a lot of room for improvement!!!! this phone restarts itself and everything, the keys on the front of the phone are exc. yes it may remind the older people caculators from the 80's but hey it works, and for $100 bucks you cant beat it, pros. good screen, exc keys, call recpection cons. lacking wi.fi, no good IM, Email, or HMTL Browser, small outside screen, limited functions.

all of u can kick rocks cuz this phone sux compared to the original enV...not flash...no menu (meaning frontal has been greatly decreased in user friendly status) & u have to open it for almost every single thing but calling
22. (unregistered)
your an idiot, you dont even have this phone to judge, i have this phone and i had the V and all my friends have the env, this phone is easily on par if not better, yeah it might have a small front screen but its completely designed for it, the 2 up and down keys work fine and so do the big buttons, they arent dumb when they design phones, LG has always been reliable..i only get there brand anymore..cmon dude, test something out before flaming
23. (unregistered)
i have this phone and its battery life is a gondsend so far, so much better then any previous phone ive had, and i agree with the guy up there, the front keys and menu do seem a bit decreased, but LG designed the phones front interface to seamlessy work with the keys given, it works just fine for anything you need to do on it, and cmon, is opening the phone to se e a pic message that hard, you must flip open phones a millon times in your life, seriously, most phones are flip, big whoop, you wasted 1 millionth of an energy to flip open the phone...geeez...we are getting lazy something
25. (unregistered)
Exactly. Just got an env2 and at first I was frustrated that I had to open it to do everything.. then I realized, hey, I got a QWERTY phone, that's the f'ing point. If you don't want to open it, don't get a flip phone.
27. (unregistered)
it's not the opening it that's the problem. it's the using two hands that's a problem. let's say you're holding a soda in one hand and for some reason you desperately need to download a game from Get it Now. You can't put the soda down so you're basically a SOL.
28. (unregistered)
umm..how many times in your life are you going to be in that situation..seriously 9 times out of 10 your going to be somewhere you can set down your pop for the 5 seconds itll take to flip it open, read it and possibly answer...this argument is worthless, because if you like the phone then get it and manage, if you dont, quit your complaning and go get a non flip qwerty phone like a blackberry or something.

50. 90]]]] (unregistered)
Seriously. How often do we "desperately need" to download a game? And if it's so important, we're going to have to put the soda down to play it. I have no problem holding my EnV2 in one hand with my thumb moving over the keyboard when I "desparately need" to hold a soda while doing something else. Then again, I have no problem setting down the soda if what I'm doing on the phone is such a "desparat need."

OK i was wondering how much the phone costs when you already have a plan so just buying the phone because anywhere i go it always says "With new 2 year plan"
26. (unregistered)
with a 2 year plan: 150 at teh store and 100 online....you save some money on taht deal if u buy it online; without a 2 year plan: i think it's 350..also known as the retail price......i'm not sure of any other prices
31. (unregistered)
I looked at Walmart and it's about 400 dollars, but at Best Buy it's about 40 dollars cheaper. I havn't seen it cheaper anywhere else.
35. (unregistered)
wal mart & best buy are not direct verizon wireless stores. if you go to a vzw store the retail price is 319.99
30. ...! (unregistered)
Why do you want a phone with a qwerty key board if your going to just use the outside of it? Doesn't make sense to me. If you don't like the phone, get something else. Makes more sense to me! Also...a way to avoid being disappointed...do your research!

i am trying to pick out a phone and need some help im looking at a lg ev2 but i am also lookin at a samsung glyde i can't make up my mind does anoyone have any info or maybe what they would do? it would be greatly appreciated...!!!please!!!!
33. (unregistered)
env2 by far..the touch screen for it is more of a gimmick..ive played with it and read reviews..its not that great..i have an env2 and the thing is awesome..the battery life is outrageuosly long, im pushing 4 days with regular use and the small screen isnt really a impedence because the phone is designed for it...if you need a keyboard phone that isnt expensive and reliabe..this is it
39. (unregistered)
My env2 keeps freezing whenever i try to type a text message, does this mean its broken and i need a new one or can i do something to possibly fix this problem
51. (unregistered)
i dont know if this will help at all since it isnt july anymore, but as of oct 1st, they came out with a software update that is supposed to alleviate the problem. i just called today and spoke to customer service because i was tired of it freezing and restarting a billion times. so just go to your closest verizon retail store and ask for the update for the enV2. hope this helps :)

The enV2 is overall a great phone. Pros: -Great battery life -Easy to text keyboard -Stylish -Good Speakers -Great customizable features for example you can set it so that you can start typing a message and it will automatically take you to the text screen or instead of going to contacts to choose your recipient of your text you can just type in their name -Fairly thin and fits well in pocket -Great Camera -Great voice clarity/reception Cons: -Small external screen (might bug some people but it's perfectly fine with me) -Buttons can be too small and it's easy to hit the wrong letter ( I don't have huge hands) -Does make some pocket calls…unless you lock the phone every time you close it and re-enter your password every time to make a call (there's no shortcut to lock your phone, you have to go through the menu) I'd definitely recommend it, especially since it's down to $99.99. Any questions...email@example.com

Pros: Battery last long Bright screen Good Pictures Cons: half the buttons dont work most of the time Small Front Screen Small buttons on inside Bulky Cant do as much on outside of phone like read long txt messages or open pix. messages Makes Pocket Calls Frezzes Overall it sucks

I'm thinking about getting this phone. I read reviews on the Samsung Alias because that's the phone I wanted, but lots of those were bad. This seems MUCH better!
46. Reflekted. (unregistered)
This phon seems to trump all the others in VZ's zurrent messaging phone lineup, including the Alias, Glyde, & Voyager. Of all four, the EnV2 is most designed in its interface for texting. Any phone can have a keyboard, but most with them don't make the best use of them. I'm going to get my EnV2 in a week or so and here's why: When someone calls you, you can quickly and easily send them a quick text message without having to re-put in their number and all that. This is great if you can't take a call. You can set it so when you open the phone and start typing, it will automatically start a new text message. This eliminates a lot of steps. Of the four phones, this is the only one with an external display that makes for quick & easy texts when you can't open the phone. Its keys are tactile and large, and you can type in word (which you can set as your outside display defaulttt) quickly and easily. On the Alias, you have to open the phone for any usable features, and on the others you have a touch screen to fumble with. You FINALLY don't have to poke through your contacts or type a number to text someone! Instead, you can type in their name and the phone will automatically pluck their number from the contacts. Or start typing it and pick which one the phone gives you that you were looking for. This makes great use of the phonebook- no more number hunting, even if you want to remove a send number! The phone overall is really cutomizable. You can customize the menu interface and plenty of shortcuts & things, so you can tailor it to your needs. The phone can hold around 300 messages in its inbox. Freaking ahhmayyzeeng. The Alias has a weak hinge, cluttered, harsh keyboard, and annoying interface. The Glyde has an unreliable touch screen which, thanks to a lack of a d pad, you have to rely on. The Voyager is big and clunky, and is really a glorified EnV and another attempt at a touch-screen do-it-all handset. All these things make the phone perfect for me. Whether or not you like it really depends on you, but I love it!

I have the EnV VX-9900 and love it, but... I have several numbers in there that I don't want to know are calling me while others I want. So I set the phone to ring as normal and then put in the numers I don't want as contacts and set it to no ring. That works well, except that the phone has this awful "Missed call Alert" tone that then sounds unless all sounds are turned off. How stupid is that? And from what I've read, it is not customizable and I'm stuck with it. Now I have an opportunity to get a EnV2, and was wondering if it has the same problem. Does anyone out there who has one know if this has been solved so I can totaly ignore certain incoming calls without getting the awful, loud alert or having to turn off all rings?

How do you customize the text setting where it will automatically start a new text message once you open it and start typing? Cant figure it out and its driving me nuts. great phone otherwise!! :)
55. CloudFire (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 Jan 2009)
dunno if you figured it out by now, but... Go into: Settings & Tools -> Phone Settings -> Set shortcuts -> Set Qwerty Shortcut -> check "TXT message". this phone is amazing. it fits very well into the average consumer (i'm a college student), i text a lot and what more can i ask for? battery life is outrageous. it should be illegal going on for so long! loving it!

Everyone said I should have gotten an enV, and I never really liked them, but with this new upgrade I'm seriously considering getting it. Oh and there were a few errors in that review. A couple of times you reffered to the enV2 as the voyager. So yea. Proof read your shit next time.

i just got a new env2 after mine went through the wash. and my new one just came in yesterday and the inner keyboard wont work but the rest of the phone will. is there some stupid phonelock im missing
54. Youngin (unregistered)
Ok, So I know that the enV2 isn't really all that new anymore, but I was thining about getting it. The only thing is I can't find out how much it costs. I know how much it costs on the Verizon Wireless website, but I was wondering if anyone has found a cheaper deal at a store, such as walmart, or target, or best buy, etc...
56. CloudFire (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 Jan 2009)
kinda late reply, but if it still pertains to you. its 79.99$ at verizon now. they are having a special deal of buy 1 get 1 free. i got mine for free because of the phone upgrade option but yea.
57. racheliscoolyeah (unregistered)
my env2 is not that great and neither is the one of most of the people i know who either have one or have had one. the battery life is extremely long, but my entire front side (the non-keyboard side, the side with the regular numbers) doesn't even work. so i have to answer my phone by opening and closing it and i can't do ANYTHING by using the front side of my phone. when i push the buttons my phone doesn't detected that i did. and there is no water damage to my phone now i know of atleast 5 other env2 owners having the same or similar problem if you only want it for the keyboard it's no big deal but if you planned on using the front this isn't the phone for you.
58. Llllll (unregistered)
I currently hav the samsung intensity. It broke and so I'm getting the env2. My mom used to have it so I know that I like it. Anyone have any dislikes about it? Just wondering.

Little Michael Frisina came up big for Boise State, kicking a 27-yard field goal with 1:16 left to give the No. 20 Broncos a 28-26 victory Saturday over Washington for their third Las Vegas Bowl trophy in a row.
Frisina, who stands 5-foot-5, made the winning kick after Washington had taken the lead for the first time on Travis Coons' 38-yard field goal. Boise State (11-2) sealed the win when Jeremy Ioane intercepted Keith Price's pass as the Huskies (7-6) neared midfield.
Boise State had to overcome a 205-yard rushing game by Bishop Sankey against a normally stingy Bronco defense. Sankey also had 74 yards receiving, giving him 279 of Washington's 447 yards from scrimmage.
Sankey, who was third on the depth list when fall practice began, rushed 30 times and caught six passes in the biggest game of his career. He was the MVP of the game, despite being on the losing side.
Frisina was only 12 for 17 on field goals coming into the game, but kicked three of them, including a 34-yarder to open the scoring that was his first field goal over 30 yards for the year.
Boise State, which outscored Utah and Arizona State 82-24 in its two previous Las Vegas Bowl wins, looked headed for a third straight blowout when Holden Huff scored on a 34-yard pass with 5:25 left in the second quarter for an 18-3 lead. But Sankey scored on a 26-yard run on Washington's next possession, and Price scrambled for another score with 3 seconds left to make it 18-17 at halftime.
After both teams scored touchdowns on long drives in the third quarter, the Huskies took their only lead of the game on the field goal by Coons with 4:09 left. On the ensuing kickoff, though, freshman Shane Williams-Rhodes returned the ball 47 yards to the Washington 42, and Joe Southwick guided them to the 12 before Frisina hit the winning kick.
The teams traded long drives in the third quarter, with Boise going 74 yards in 15 plays to open the second half, and Washington responding with a 75 yard, 12 play drive. The Huskies went for a 2-point conversion that would have tied it, but the pass was incomplete
Sankey kept Washington in the game almost by himself in the first half, scoring the first touchdown for the Huskies and gaining huge chunks of yardage against the normally stingy Bronco defense.
Of the 238 yards Washington gained in the half, Sankey had 178 of them. He ran 16 times for 130 yards and stretched out two short passes for another 48 yards.
Boise State was playing without starting defensive end Demarcus Lawrence, the team's sack leader. Lawrence was sent home Thursday for violating unspecified team rules, his second suspension of the season.

personalized cards
By SARocketrider
from San Antonio, TX
I recently decided to have some personalized informal cards made to supplement the business cards I had made years ago. I write with a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck fountain pen. The card stock is excellent and absorbs the ink immediately and cleanly so it does not smear. The printing of my name and initial are sharp and clean. My only regret is waiting so long to have them made.

Excellent thoughtful way to send personalized note
By Babbles1
from Alexandria, VA
Got these and the accompanying envelopes. Use them to write personalized thank you notes to my rock star employees. Classy and cool and much appreciated by the folks who get them
Very Classy
By Alatiel
from Undisclosed
I have only had these cards a few weeks, but they have already been very useful. I have written several thank you notes at work where I would have otherwise sent an e-mail. Using these cards has been much more appreciated and is much more stylish. I think it will also be much nicer to send one of these than to merely sign your name to the inevitable mass cards that get passed around for colleagues' birthdays and other occasions. And the size is perfect--- big enough to write a substantive message but not so big that you feel intimidated by how much you'll have to write. I am hoping that fact will encourage me to write more often to people in my personal life. It is an easy way to distinguish yourself from the pack. I am sorry it took me this long to buy them.
Beautiful gift, weird delivery practice!
By helenel
from Grovetown, GA
The cards are stunning (per receiver of cards). Except the gift card arrived alone in a huge envelope which merely confused my friend; the cards arrived a day later. This is strange way to deliver a gift and card for a great, classy company like Levenger, in my humble opinion!!
Quality product

Good card stock, functional size, customization is a nice touch. Would buy again.
Good Communication Product
By William85704
from Tucson, AZ
I use these cards to send short notes to coworkers thanking them for whatever they may have done deserving recognition. It really helps morale and let's them know we see their contribution.It's always a bit hard to say it's an excellent value to get 250 cards for $40 but it is a good value.As for style, they cards are nice but appear a bit bland. Personally, having an embossed box around the card or even an embossed line under the name would add more dimension to the card.

Why is someone paying $10k on this f4 and not getting the 400 f2.8 mk.ii ? (Unless they can afford both... )
I can imagine the AF/MF and AF range limiter switches are a little hard to get to in a hurry, esp on a pro body?
Even though I shoot a lot of sports, I won't get the lens either. Admittedly I already own the 200 f/2, 300 f/2.8 and 400 f/2.8, but I shoot wider than f/4 a ton and this isn't very useful for me. In fact, for indoor volleyball and basketball I set aperture range from f/2 to f/4 with ISO safety shift on (or if I'm using the 70-200 lens, f/2.8 to f/4). I prefer the faster shutter speed in exchange for opening up wider.However, I can definitely see the utility in this lens, and if I didn't already have the 300 and 400, I probably would use it for football and soccer, as long as they were day games or well-lit venues. My problem is that my night stuff is NOT well-lit, so to keep a fast shutter I need wider than f/4 probably.I think this lens would be great for well-lit sports, and wildlife photography, and it'll add a ton of convenience over the longer primes.
A few people had the chance to test the lens.Most of them are not very happy with the build quality of the build in TC and the image quality if you add the TC.I have both TC´s, why should I pay extra money for a build in TC? My personal opinion: The lens is too big and havy as a walkaround lens compared to the EF 100-400 IS. The solution with the build in TC is not amazing. For the mentioned price I prefer the normal big whites.
I imagine that perfectly centering the extender when swung in from the side was a decent engineering challenge. It would also have to be user-proof such that if the user believed they had engaged the extender, that it did engage and was perfectly aligned and couldn't move on its own even when the lens was bumped around.

(Unless they can afford both... )200-400 would be a very useful zoom range to have on the sidelines of a basketball, football, soccer, baseball, etc game. That being said, 168-420mm f/4 is better (Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 + 1.4x) and a helluva lot cheaper. Will it be as sharp? No. Good enough for the online and print media who buy such images? For sure. Will it focus fast or accurately enough? That's the question.

some pros were complaining that the "bump", or a function of the "bump" got in the way of something

ROARING SPRING - Sometimes Doug Mingle wonders how his business survived.
"I am not sure if I am lucky or smart," said Mingle, who with his wife, Jo Ellen, are owners and operators of the Roaring Spring Department Store, which is marking 150 years in business this year. "We aren't going to get rich here. We love the town we live in. It is wonderful to stay here and work at a job we enjoy and can work together at."
The store's beginnings go back to 1863 when Daniel M. Bare opened a retail store on Main Street. Known as the "company store" for many years, it has had several operators.
Article Photos
Doug Mingle (right); his wife, Jo Ellen; and father, Don, share a light moment inside the Roaring Spring Department Store recently. They are celebrating the store's 150 years in business.
This is how the store, then Morrison, Bare & Cass, appeared in the 1870s.
In 1915, A.D. Mingle, Doug's grandfather, was hired to manage the store. In 1921, he became a partner with Ivan Garver, grandson of Daniel M. Bare. They were partners until 1941 when Mingle became sole owner.
The name was changed to Roaring Spring Department Store around 1921.
In the early days, the store sold mostly household goods and tools. Items like buckets, large farming tools and carpenter tools were a big thing. Rugs and fabrics also were sold.
"They branched into clothing as people quit making their own clothing; that became an important part of my grandfather's business. When he remodeled the store in 1931, there were suits, hats, dresses and sewing notions, and he expanded the housewares department," Doug Mingle said. "In the 1930s, it transitioned from household supplies to a department store as we think about it."
Donald Mingle, Doug's father, joined the business as store manager in 1952 and over time strengthened the store's product line, Doug Mingle said.
In the 1970s, the store carried appliances and shoes on the top floor; crafts, domestics and groceries on the second floor and household items, toys, paint and furniture on the bottom floor.
Donald Mingle also bought a furniture store across the street and called it Furniture Galleries. He ran the furniture store for about a dozen years before the store moved to its present location on Route 36.
"My dad never wanted to disappoint a customer. He made sure the store was stocked with right-priced merchandise. He didn't sell top-of-the-line stuff or the cheap stuff. He never wanted someone to come in and have to say, 'I don't have that.' People would say 'they know I can find this here.' His legacy is the attitude people had that they knew they could find it here," Doug Mingle said.
Although he's 83 now, Donald Mingle still helps at the store today.
The store moved from Main Street to Route 36 just south of the intersection with Route 164 in 1986 to take advantage of the heavy traffic flow.
"We saw traffic flow down there; there wasn't much of it. Here it is ridiculous. It is bumper to bumper most days between 3 and 4 p.m. Parking was a problem at the old place. We had to do something about it," Doug Mingle said.
Doug Mingle said his father was reluctant to make the move.
"He was squeamish about trying it. I said we had 10 more years at the old location, [but] he didn't want to risk moving and the reputation of the family. When he saw how important it was to me, he was willing to move it," Doug Mingle said. "The move has enabled us to continue. We would not have survived for long where we were."
The store stopped selling clothing in 2009 and became affiliated with True Value.
"That strengthened the hardware business. True Value is a national brand, and that gives us identity in the marketplace. People know what a True Value store is," Doug Mingle said.
The affiliation benefits the store in other ways.
"They offer store consulting to help us keep up with trends and practices in running the store. The product selection involved in the co-op is worth tens of thousands of dollars," Doug Mingle said. "They own their own paint facility and make a high quality of paint. They develop programs we could not afford to do on our own."
Joe Hurd, president and CEO of the Blair County Chamber of Commerce, said the Roaring Spring Department Store is a survivor.
"The Roaring Spring Department Store is a throwback to a time when retailers in small communities spent as much time assessing and anticipating the needs of the local citizens as they did in overseeing the actual sale of products and services. So many similar businesses are gone," Hurd said. "The Mingles have stayed true to their mission of providing quality products, excellent service and fair prices but have also had the courage to look for those niche markets that bring new customers through the door. That's how you stay viable for 150 years."
Doug Mingle said the community and his employees are responsible for the store's success.
"We attribute our success to the community, to the customers and the other businesses that keep it vibrant and progressive," Doug Mingle said. "We have been blessed with a wonderful staff over the years. Some employees have been here over 25 years. Our customers come in and ask for employees by name. The relationships our staff have been able to build with customers over the years has also been a key."
The Roaring Spring Department Store also plays a role in the community.
"We are a center of information for a lot of community activities. We help people to promote their events. We contribute to a lot of fundraisers. We have sponsored Little League teams for 50 years or more," Doug Mingle said.
Doug Mingle admits reaching 150 years in business is special.
"I admit the last five years I felt pressure to make it survive for 150 years," Doug Mingle said. "It is hard to explain how important it was to keep this going. It is about 150 years of people working together to have something great in the community they live in.
"It is a milestone we had to get to," Jo Ellen Mingle said.
Doug Mingle remains optimistic about the future.
"We don't see any reason to change dramatically anytime soon. We are busy every day. We are by nature optimistic and enthusiastic people. We see nothing but possibilities and hard work," Doug Mingle said.
The official 150th anniversary sale will be held Nov. 7-9.

It didn't take long for word to spread.
Shadow, the canine partner of Hanahan police officer Travis Lanphere, died suddenly after a training session at the Exchange Park Fairgrounds in Ladson.
Twelve hours later, families, some holding posters, lined Foster Creek Road on Tuesday as a motorcade of about 20 police cars from Hanahan and surrounding areas wound its way through Tanner Plantation on the way to McAlister-Smith Funeral Home in Goose Creek. There, officers paid their tearful last respects to the 7-year-old German shepherd.
During his years on the force, Shadow had more than 25 apprehensions. He obtained the highest level of certification through the National Police Work Dog Association, and was certified in drug detection work, suspect tracking, searches and other areas.
"You can replace him but you can never replace him," said Hanahan Police Chief Mike Cochran. "We'll move forward but we won't forget."
The relationship between handlers and their canines is a special one. As work partners who spend nearly all their time together, they know each other's habits. They protect each other.
"Law enforcement is a brotherhood in itself," Lanphere said. "Canine brotherhood is extremely close. Unless you've worked a dog, you don't understand the bond that we have with them. He was my partner. For the last five years, I'd had him right by me."
Best buddies
An estimated 15,000 police dogs are in use in the United States, according to the North American Police Work Dog Association.
Many law enforcement departments in the Lowcountry have canine units, also known as K-9 units. Departments that don't have canine teams often have relationships with ones that do, and borrow the teams when needed.
Many of the departments train together. Lanphere was training with Charleston County's unit when Shadow died.
"We all know each other," said Canine Deputy Michael Buenting of the Charleston County Sheriff's Office. The departments spend about a day a week keeping the dogs' skills sharp, and deputies often assist each other on calls.
The bond between the humans and their four-legged partners is also strong, Cochran said.
"It takes a special person to be a canine handler," he said. "These aren't just house pets. These things become your best buddy. You can't leave the house without them."
For about eight months, Buenting's companion has been Niko, a 2½-year-old German shepherd. Like many canine teams, they patrol the county in a specially outfitted Chevy Tahoe.
"He is absolutely like a partner," Buenting said. "I spend more time with him than I do with anybody else. Life revolves around that dog all the time. Everywhere I go, everything I do. If I have him 10 years, I'm going to be with him every day for 10 years."
At home, Niko spends most of his time in a large kennel. At work, when he's not in the field or training, he stays in the Tahoe or a building that houses kennels. When Buenting goes on vacation, Niko will stay in the kennel at work.
While the dogs spend lots of time with their handlers, their exposure to other humans is often limited.
"Everybody wants to play with them," Buenting said. But Niko, trained in apprehension and narcotics, is a working dog, he said.
"He doesn't go home and hang out in the air conditioning. He stays in the kennel. Nobody can play with him. He does not eat table scraps," Buenting said. "The purpose of that is so he wants to come to work. When he sees me come out in my uniform to get him, he's ready. He's amped up."
The officers are on call 24 hours a day. Because the dogs work hard and fast, they quickly wear out, so officers often respond to apprehension or narcotics calls in pairs.
"When he gets on a scent, you're gone," Buenting said. "He can go from a walk to a full sprint in about three seconds. But when he's done, he knows it and he'll stop. Then someone else will come over and pick up where he left off."
Often, just having a dog on the scene can stop a suspect.
"The dog is a tool, not a weapon," Buenting said. "It hurts if you get bit, but you are going to heal."
They also often help with crowd control and do demonstrations.
Part of a team
Police dogs typically retire by the time they are 10 years old.
Charleston County Marine Patrol Officer Kevin Meyer said his 9-year-old shepherd, Nelo, will retire soon.
"He gets up a little slower," he said. "I can see it because I'm his handler, but you wouldn't know it."
Meyer, who is married with two young children, said he will keep the dog.
"It's good that he's getting to retire and have a little time to be a dog," said Meyer, who patrols the waterfront, performing random searches on cruise ships and other vessels. "In his mind, I think he's always going to be a work dog. I don't think he'll understand completely, but I am working on transitioning him to be out of the kennel and in the backyard a little bit more."
Three months ago, Meyer got Legion, a 20-month-old Labrador he has been training.
The most popular breeds for police dogs are German shepherds, Labradors, Belgian Malinois, Dutch shepherds, and occasionally mixes of these breeds, according to the National Police Dog Foundation.
The dogs, which can cost upward of $10,000, usually arrive highly trained and continue daily training with their handlers. Most of them are taught commands in German, Dutch or Czech.
"The dogs become part of the team," said sheriff's Lt. Jon Jacobik, who oversees Charleston County's canine unit. "Over time, they take on the personality of the handlers. Happy handlers have happy dogs. Grumpy handlers have grumpy dogs."
Sometimes officers realize that being part of the canine team isn't for them, he said.
"We encourage them to come ride with us and come to training days before they apply to become handlers," Jacobik said. "A lot of people don't realize what a lot of work these guys do with these dogs. Once you start training a dog, it consumes you."

In 1777 the Spanish settled San Jose to provide food for its California missions. This fertile valley remained a quiet farm community of grape vineyards, apricot orchards, and broccoli for the next 200 years. When World War II ended, returning veterans poured in the region and IBM began. From those first seeds of technology, San Jose boomed in the 1980's and 1990's as the creative heartland of Silicon Valley.
It's still a beautiful natural setting. Hike or bike the Los Gatos Creek Trail and take in a sunrise view of the city. Stop in at the cafes and art galleries in downtown Los Gatos. Wander through Kelley Park's serene Japanese Friendship Garden. Feed goats and ride the Pacific Fruit Express roller coaster at the kid-centric Happy Hollow Park and Zoo. Discover ancient Egypt at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum - the largest collection of Egyptian art west of the Mississippi.
Tuck into a falafel and a fresh banana milkshake at The Original Falafel's Drive-In. Bill's Café is a favorite breakfast place for locals, with a menu long enough to cater to most anyone. Don't miss their famous Bread Pudding French Toast topped with fried bananas.

This Dataline provides a high-level summary of the of the comments received on the board's respective proposals.
The comment periods for the FASB and IASB's classification and measurement exposure drafts ended on May 15, 2013 and March 28, 2013, respectively. Their proposals would broadly converge the accounting for debt investments and financial liabilities, but there are a number of notable differences, including in the accounting for equity investments.
A majority of respondents to the FASB's proposal supported the goal of reducing complexity in financial instruments accounting, but many believed it would not be achieved under the proposal. Many felt that the cash flow characteristics test inappropriately limited the number of debt investments that would be eligible for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income measurement. While respondents tended to agree with a business model assessment, a majority felt that the restrictions on sales out of the amortized cost category would inappropriately limit companies' ability to manage their credit risk exposures.
The IASB's proposal, comprising limited amendments to its classification and measurement standard, generally received support. A majority of respondents supported adding a fair value through other comprehensive income category to the amortized cost and fair value through net income categories for debt investments.
Joint redeliberations will begin in July and are expected to run into the fourth quarter of 2013.
This Dataline provides a high level summary of the comments received on the boards' respective proposals.

It was a very nice experience staying with Marie. She was very helpful with everything we asked. Though her place is really small we never felt uncomfortable or bothered. Place is clean and its very good location close to Lincoln Road Mall and also not far from Ocean Drive.
Marie is a kind, angelic host who loves animals and art. She's the rare combination of community-minded and worldly as she is from Paris. She's been in Miami Beach for sometime and knows her way around. She did lots of extras for me including providing a bicycle. Her place is small, quiet and friendly with a lovely front garden. And it was an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the convention center. Thank you Marie!

LEETONIA - Charges are pending against a Leetonia High School student following what school officials are calling a spontaneous attack on another student Monday morning.
Police Chief John Soldano responded to the school at approximately 7:30 a.m. after the student reportedly struck a ninth-grade student in the face with a chair in the cafeteria prior to the start of classes. Soldano said the result of his investigation has been forwarded to the juvenile prosecutor's office for possible charges.
According to the victim's stepfather, Tom Durbin, the victim had been bullied and threatened by the suspect who had already been disciplined for prior actions against the victim. He said his stepson sustained a broken nose and was bleeding from the mouth and nose after being struck in the face with a metal chair in front of several students and at least five teachers.
Durbin claimed that his stepson was not immediately assisted with his injury.
Principal Troy Radinsky confirmed the incident and said he has punished the suspect, but said he could not elaborate on what occurred or what the punishment is. He did note that the incident is isolated to the two students.
Radinsky also said that teachers were assigned to the area at the time of the incident, and that they responded as soon as the issue was understood.
"This wasn't a fight, it was a spontaneous action," he said. "There was no recognition of the injury at first. There was considerable help by the staff once they understood the situation. I feel very strongly that no one has as caring a teaching staff as we do."
Radinsky said the school has a policy regarding such actions and that the administration followed the policy "to the hilt."
"We definitely don't take any of these situations lightly," he said. "We're taking the necessary actions to ensure that our students are as safe as possible."

"George Clooney just called to tell me the big news," Ellen DeGeneres Tweeted on Monday. "It's official! I'm so happy. He's finally going to return my Twister mat."
The talk-show host wasn't the only one offering her best wishes to Clooney, 52, and his new fiancée, Amal Alamuddin, 36.
Actor Elliot Gould, who costarred with Clooney in Ocean's Eleven and the film's two sequels, heaped praise on Alamuddin at a media panel in Los Angeles on Tuesday for his Showtime series, Ray Donovan.
"She's so beautiful, and she's a really successful lawyer," Gould said. "She's obviously very smart. … I only wish him well. I love George."
And at the Chaplin Award Gala in New York City on Tuesday, Barry Sonnenfeld, who executive-produced Clooney's 1998 film Out of Sight, said he was "stunned and overjoyed" by the engagement news.
"I can't wait for him to enjoy marriage," said Sonnenfeld. "I would marry him!"
Added Clooney's pal Billy Crystal, who was also at the Chaplin gala: "I'm happy for him. He's a great guy and he found someone he loves."

Framing Sustainability for the Free, Frugal, and Fit & Fabulous
This article was published in TheSoluntionsJournal.com.
Days prior to the February, 2011 Utah State University student referendum, the 'green police' were out in force issuing 'citations' to students who drove to school or placed recyclable items in the trash. The 'citations' were actually political leaflets from representatives of the USU College Republicans dressed in satirical law enforcement garb, protesting the "Blue Goes Green" ballot measure that would impose a 25 cent-per-credit-hour fee (averaging about $3 per student per semester) to fund a proposed Student Sustainability Office and administer a grant program for student initiatives to conserve resources on campus. Although placed on the ballot by a student grassroots movement, the USU College Republicans viewed the fee as a "socialistic" tax. "It's taking my ability to choose away," Mikey Rodgerson, the group's president, told the campus newspaper. "We live in a bad economy … and the school has the audacity to propose an AstroTurf fee.
Opposition to the Blue Goes Green fee was not unexpected. Utah State, with an on-campus population of about 15,000 students, is nestled in the politically conservative Cache Valley in northern Utah where many students, faculty, and citizens often view green issues with skepticism. Although Cache Valley suffers from numerous unhealthy "red air days" due to winter inversions that trap local vehicular, fireplace, and agricultural pollutants, opposition to solving environmental problems could come from perceptions that it may result in "bigger" government and unnecessary taxes that threaten personal freedom and economic prosperity. USU President Stan Albrecht, nonetheless, had signed onto the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) in 2007, requiring USU to achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2050. The university established a Sustainability Council, involving faculty and staff to initiate and monitor energy conservation and carbon emissions across campus to comply with ACUPCC. The student-proposed Blue Goes Green grant initiative, modeled after other universities' sustainability programs, was an outgrowth of that commitment.

Cultivating the Human Spirit: Overview
"Human beings are each a microcosm. Living here on Earth, we breathe the rhythms of a universe that extends infinitely above us. When resonant harmonies arise between this vast outer cosmos and the inner human cosmos, poetry is born." 1 [Read full text]--Daisaku Ikeda
Daisaku Ikeda has spoken often of the importance of what he calls the "poetic spirit." This is not limited to words on a page. What he is describing is an attitude of the heart, an openness to the world, a vital sense of the connection between one's life and the life within all things. The "poetic spirit" is the impulse, the vibrancy, at the core of all artistic expression--music, art, dance and literature.
"The poetic spirit," says Ikeda, himself an acclaimed poet, "has the power to 'retune' and reconnect a discordant, divided world." 2 For Ikeda, art and culture are more than forms of entertainment. They are the living expression of the human spirit and the chords that connect not only individuals but cultures, drawing them together in recognition of our common humanity.
As Ikeda writes, "The life and essence of art--whether it be painting, music, or dance--lies in expressing through a wellspring of emotion the universal realm of the human spirit. It is a melding of the individual and the universal. That is why great art reaches out beyond ethnic and national barriers to move people all over the world." 3
And, "To deepen one's understanding of music is to gain a closer insight into the very source of human culture; it is a quest leading to the quintessence of humanity. A love for music unites people and strengthens the pulse of peace and creativity."4
There is a direct link between art and culture and peace. Much of Ikeda's life and energy has focused, in various ways, on exploring and revitalizing this connection, at both an individual and institutional level. He has founded an international concert association and fine arts museums to promote peace through cultural exchange and he is, as mentioned, a prolific poet and author as well as photographer.
The Buddhist movement that Ikeda heads could itself be described as a movement to encourage the "poetic spirit" within all people. He has described it as a movement to nurture and cultivate the potential within human life and bring peace and culture to blossom through the ideals of Buddhism.
Art, he writes, is an irrepressible and natural expression of humanity, and it is also inextricably linked to religion, in as much as it functions or seeks to effect the "melding of the individual and the universal.";5
One sees in Ikeda's description of the poet the shared spirit of the bodhisattva, a person who relieves the suffering of others: "A poet is one who offers people words of courage and hope, seeking the perspective--one step deeper, one step higher--that makes tangible the enduring spiritual realities of our lives." 6 [Read full text]
The arts and culture function to revitalize and restore the human spirit and humanity itself. "Our planet is scarred and damaged, its life systems threatened with collapse . . . Modern civilization will be healthy only when the poetic spirit regains its rightful place." 7 [Read full text]

Afterwards gather round the dancing flames of the fire and be entertained by the guide's stories of bush life. Fall asleep in your comfortable bungalow to the muted sounds of the night. (Dinner included)
The smell of fresh coffee indicates the start of a new day. After some snacks, you will set out on a morning game drive in the Kruger National Park. The guide might find Leopard or Hyena tracks, and interpret the events that happened during the night. The guide will tell you about the habits of the wildlife encountered.
You will return to camp and have brunch. Spend a few hours at your leisure and then it is time for another exciting game drive.

LISBON - Leetonia eighth-grader Sash Davis will make a return trip to the nation's capital, but it took a lot longer to punch his ticket the second time around.
Davis and another Leetonia student, seventh-grader Shawn Greathouse, were back as the last two standing at the 55th annual Columbiana County Spelling Bee at David Anderson High School on Monday.
What took just 14 rounds last year took 57 this year. Davis correctly spelled "reductive" to win the bee Monday, and will now get ready for a return trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Article Photos
Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer
With runner-up Shawn Greathouse (back center) and other competitors watching, Sash Davis of Leetonia correctly spells "reductive" to defend his championship in the county spelling bee. According to Miriam-Webster, reductive is an adjective which means "dealing with or describing something complicated in a simple or too simple way."
"I'm just very ecstatic if I could use one of my spelling words," Davis said. "I'm really happy to be able to go back and see some of the people that I met and made friends with last year and see it again."
Davis won another all-expenses paid trip, along with an adult chaperone, to Washington, D.C., where he will participate in the 87th Scripps National Spelling Bee, set May 24-30 at the Gaylord National in Oxon Hill, Md.
Davis looks forward to the experience that he shared last year as he mentioned some of last year's sights and sounds.
"I really enjoyed visiting the National Mall, and visiting all of the museums and monuments there," Davis said. "I got to see the National Monument, then I studied. It was hot there, but I look forward to it again."
Davis also won the Samuel L. Sugarman Award Certificate for a 2014 United States Mint Proof Set, a Webster's 3rd New International Dictionary and a one-year membership to Encyclopedia Britannica Online and a first-place plaque.
After Aiden Hooper, a seventh-grader from Wellsville, misspelled "babka" in the 12th round to claim fourth place, it was down to Davis, Greathouse, and Salem seventh-grader Bryce Owen, and it stayed that way for the next 31 rounds.
Owen stumbled on "scherzo" - a word meaning a movement or passage of light from playful character - in the 44th round, but looks forward to an opportunity at next year's bee as he claimed his second runner-up plaque.
"I studied really hard, but I just didn't know the word," Owen said. "I just want to thank everyone for helping me with this."
Then it was down to just Davis and Greathouse for the second straight year, and both went another 12 rounds before Greathouse stumbled on "collate" - a word which means to gather or arrange in proper sequence.
Regardless of the outcome, Greathouse enjoyed his return trip to the bee as he claimed his second-place prize of a Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary and a first runner-up plaque.
"I didn't know the word, I had never heard it before," Greathouse said. "Still, I am glad I was able to make it this far, and I am looking forward to next year and look to win it all next year."
None of the top three, however, thought the bee would go as long as it did.
"I didn't think it would go quite this far," Greathouse said. "I was thinking maybe 20 or 30 rounds, but it was a good experience, and I will try it again next year."
"I thought it might have gone 30 or 40 rounds myself," Davis said.
Not even the bee's pronouncer, Matthew Stewart, an English professor at Kent State's East Liverpool campus, thought it would have taken this long. Stewart had to briefly delay round 53 to make sure the judges were able to see the same words he would use.
"Are we in need of additional words? The answer is yes," Stewart said. "These kids have been doing their homework."
Greathouse lasted 56 rounds, and by the way he performed, no one would have guessed he was under the weather either as he battled flu-like symptoms earlier in the day, but recovered in just enough time to compete.
"You did really good for not feeling good," Lori Nichols, Shawn's mother, told him as he left the high school.
Davis, meanwhile, is savoring the moment as he wins what became his final spelling bee appearance.
"It's sad to not be able to participate next year," Davis said. "I'm just going to keep studying and enhance my vocabulary for the future."
The 55th annual bee was co-sponsored by the Morning Journal, Salem News, The Review and the Columbiana County Educational Service Center. The county's three newspapers provided the prizes and will cover Davis' expenses for his trip to Washington, D.C.
The 87th Scripps National Spelling bee will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3 May 28 and 29.

Hi everyone
I'm looking forward to buy me some Fleshlights for a few weeks now but I still can't make my decision. That's why I want to ask the experienced guys out there whether they got some good advice for me.
Since I'm aiming for more than one FLight I made up some "groups" depending on the sleeves feeling.
(While the orifices also play some kind of role for my decision. I like "natural" looking orifices with nicely curved labia and lips.)
The first sleeve I want to buy should be some sleeve with breathtaking texture and stimulation. My favorite here definitely is the Destroya. I mean, look at those labia <3 and as far as I know many FLyers are very happy with it.
I'm also thinking about the STU, but I'm more into sleeves with multiple textures inside and the pink lady is not that appealing to me...
Maybe even the Nipple Alley, since it's close to the STU, could be a possible one. Rileys vagina also looks quite beautiful...
I definitely want one of them but I'm very indecisive whether I should buy the Stoya or the Jenna one. To be honest, Stoya really turned my head, she's beautiful and all her orifices look just gorgeous. Jenna's lips on the other hand look a bit "thicker" and would look mindblowing around me,too
I've read, that there isn't that much influence on the feeling by the lips... so should I just pick Stoya since she's my fav?
Here I want my 3rd sleeve to be as "real" as possible. My options currently are the Love Humps which maybe feels most realistic and Heavenly which has more than one texture and it has the better looking orifice in my opinion. I know it's hard to define the most "realistic" experience because there are many facts missing to the real thing and since everyone experiences the things different, but which insert can you guys recommend to a new FLyer looking for the "real" fun
The 4th sleeve isn't planned...yet! Maybe, if I can't decide between two sleeves that are both necessary for a FLight collection or if you guys come up with another sleeve that I should own, this is where it could become part of my order
I'm also thinking about a Forbidden sleeve although I'm actually not really into anal. But since the forbidden texture is called to be that close to the real anal experience I'll maybe get Stoya's butt too and then I probably got all of her 3 sleeves with me what wouldn't be that horrible ^^
I hope my english wasn't that bad and I'm sure that you all can help me make up my mind and decide on my FLight-starting-pack
