RIM BlackBerry Torch 9850 ReviewBlackBerry Torch 9850
. There's a faint hissy noise that's heard in the background through the earpiece, but it doesn't get in the way of us comprehending our callers. However, voices on both ends of the line sound shrill in tone – with sharper tones exhibited on our caller's end. Switching over to the speakerphone, its volume is adequate, but voices sound muffled at the highest setting. Despite that, we're still able to hold conversations without any detrimental problems.
Although signal strength appears to be consistent when it's placed to connect solely to a CDMA or GSM network, we do notice some fluctuation when it's on global mode. Meaning, it's best to keep it on one particular connection to get the best signal strength.
Paying close attention to its brethren, the Torch 9850 finds itself in a peculiar position because it doesn't boast the exceptional battery life we commonly expect to find with most handsets out of RIM's stable. With normal usage, which primarily consists of emailing and web surfing, we find its battery life at 35% capacity by the end of the day. Naturally, it's nothing special seeing that it's able to get us by with a solid day of usage, but this is undoubtedly something that will require nightly charges.
This is the device that RIM should've put out three years ago when they embarked on the touchscreen form factor with the original Storm 9530. As we know, the key to success in the industry is partly related to timing, and it's remarkable to witness that RIM is finally coming around to producing a decent all touch BlackBerry. Needless to say, we're glad to see that they decided to completely drop all the gimmicks found with both Storm iterations. Of course, it's better to be late than never because its $149.99 on-contract pricing alleviates some of the uncertainty of picking it up. If you've been burned by any of RIM previous all touch offerings, you'll be enamored by the intuitive experience found with the Torch 9850. Even that, however, doesn't make it quite on par with rival Android models and the iPhone, which still have much more polished software platforms to offer.
However, if you're simply after a BlackBerry device and having a touchscreen is not among your top priorities, then we'd suggest that you get the Bold 9930, which is arguably the best smartphone from RIM's camp right now.
Software version of the reviewed unit:
BlackBerry OS version: v18.104.22.1681
RIM BlackBerry Torch 9850 Review:
- Touchscreen form factor finally done right
- Brilliant & high-resolution display
- Smooth web browsing experience
- Platform still feels dated
- Sub-par photo & video capture
- Shrill sounding voices with phone calls

Dated hardware and software yep because rim doesent have the budget to hire top dev team to make itself a software to actually use the duel core and or an app market that could fire up the competation.

RIM's budget and the talent of its developers is not the problem, it's leadership.

Too little, too late.

Hardware is not a dual core but it really fast and smooth. RIM also wanted to keep the battery life higher so it omitted the extra core. Honestly it doesn't feel like it's dated or slow in the performance dept...it just needs some new shine on the OS.

C'mon. You're telling that the 9850's specs is not up to date, yet you compared it to the iPhone 4 which is a last year's technology? C'mon dude.

Ugly design, but that's just my unimportant opinion. I LOVED Blackberry's torch 9810 design SOO much wow, but now they changed it to this basic-looking phone. 3.7 touchscreen is nothing to boast about even though it's BB's largest. Even the iphone 4 beats this. I hope their next design will improve. Their new bold 9900/9930's design is BEAUTIFUL though.
8. Tazman69 (unregistered)
Uh...the iPhone does not beat the 3.7" touchscreen of the Torch 9850/9860. The iPhone screen is 3.5". Also, this is an entirely different phone than the 9800/9810 Torch which is a smaller screen with a slide out keyboard. Personally, I like the look of this phone and will be getting it. I'm not too enamored with the physical buttons but it's not a deal breaker.
10. CoolBB (unregistered)
Sorry I meant that the iphone 4 design beated this, but yes you are right with the 3.5" display, but even the screen quality beats this.
And I'm not a fan of the physical buttons either, but cool that you'll be getting it.
9. G (unregistered)
The Big question is....What to go for, the 9900 or the 9860. Had myn heart set on the Bold upgrade but am liking the look of the Torch upgrade. Mmmmmm.......
11. phonejunkie77 (Posts: 3; Member since: 25 Aug 2011)
Each phone has its good bad and ugly. i do believe the new 9850 is a beautiful phone that will appeal to some and not others. as far as hardware and some of the people that complain about no dual core or wanting quad core get a life. if the phone functions well then its good. only reason you would need dual core is if you plan sitting and playing games all day instead of doing other things.
12. phonejunkie77 (Posts: 3; Member since: 25 Aug 2011)
opp forgot one thing. as far as iphone all the apple fans like to bash on other phone designs and looks. look at the i phone it has stayed the same candybar shaped with one face button for 4 generations and a fifth coming up
13. JoeGrind (unregistered)
I love it, I love it, compare with a co worker Iphone and we both when onwww.msnbc.com and my BB Torch loaded the site before the Iphone 4, we compare youtude videos and same. So yes the wait for this New BB Torch was worth it. Again i LOVEE it.

I got the chance to play around with this phone yesterday and I have to admit that I am impressed. Blackberry has come a long way but still is behind on the hardware and most importantly the software. I love the design, not big and bulky and heavy like the storms yet its thin and light. The screen is amazing with the liquid graphics. The operating system is smooth, fast and the 1.2ghz processor seems to run it flawlessly. I like this phone primarily due to the fact that for me it is the perfect size phone. I have had many Android devices and felt that many of them were just too big to put in my pocket even without a case. I applaud Blackberry however I do not believe this will stop the impending buyout by microsoft. yes you heard it.... I predict a buyout of RIM by Microsoft. They will load WP7.5 on all new blackberries. Is it the perfect marriage? No, but its a start.
16. John G (unregistered)
One thing to say for the RIM bashers... They have always made phones geared towards those who like to use their phone to take calls. More of a business phone than a toy. For those of you Android lovers ... you can bet the battery life will outlast ANY Android phone. Sure, great technology and OS, but what use is a dual core if the batt is always about die. To you iPhone lovers ... One word - Toy. Blackberry users don't need a fake drumset, or lighter app to look cool on your LED screen. Unlike your newest phone, Blackberry users like to keep their callers on the line.
Its more like Android and iPhones are for the kids and teens, and Blackberry is reserved for the adults.
By the way, before you retort, I am currently using a Blackberry Storm 2. I have not had the problems that many have reported. I still like it and it is running strong. I have not even used any of the newer BB phones yet and can only imagine how much better they can be. The 3.2mp camera I have still has better quality than the iPhone 4G. Goes to show that the tech specs may not be as "flashy new" as the competition, but the quality of the device does what it says it will do, and more.

Unfortunately due to corporate restrictions I can only use a Blackberry. I get them for free so I have had a chance to use almost all of Blackberry's models. My last was a Storm 2 which I absolutely hated. I just got a new 9850 and I have to admit it's by far and away the best Blackberry to date. I would say it's not up to par with other smartphones but for a blackberry it's a big step in the right direction.

Got 9850 a couple of weeks now. love it. Light, feels sexy in my hand. perfect weight and size for a phone. why get an android phone...may as well get a table.The software, with all new touch UI is nice and familiar, but has some neat features that enhance the touch experience. swipe, touch and hold for menus, contextual Only complaints are, the portrait keypad is small, and back key could be moved a little further away from the \'L\' key so I don\'t keep pressing L when i want to back space. I can get around this by using the reduced keyboard which doubles up the Letters like on the Pearl and let the predictive text sort out my typing. The Horizontal keyboard however is perfect.
the predictive typing and learning curve of the dictionary is next to amazing. This is everything that the first Storm should have been. For those BB users out there having doubts or clinging to your physical keypads. Don\'t worry, you wont miss it. I used a Palm and then BB for the past 12 years...and I don\'t miss the physical keypad for a second.

I am a big-time crafter with yarns. I do crochet, knit, and plastic canvas, and some latch hook. Basically if it has to do with yarn I do it. Which means I always have a huge amount of yarn here, and I also have well over 100 pattern books and pattern leaflets too.
I have put it in my will that all of my crafting materials are to go to an adult care center or a nursing home. Whichever one that will take it. I didn't specify a particular place because their situation may change and they may not be able to take it.
But this way I know that all my years worth of collecting this stuff won't go to waste when I die. And since I don't have any family to leave it to, I know that someone will get it and appreciate it.

This made me laugh in a good way. My mom and I both are big crafters. She tells me every time we are together doing some sort of craft that she is leaving all her supplies to me in her will. Hey atl east I know I am getting something, LOL!
When I pass on to that great crafting room in the sky, I've already designated that all of my fabric & yarn will go to a local senior center & all my other fun crafting supplies are willed to local elementary school teachers. Our School teachers are severely limited on art supplies & have to purchase them with their own money. After school programs can use them too. If it wasn't for learning at school (in home etc.) I would never have learned to crochet or sew (my mom didn't know how). I wish that kids these days learned these basic homemaking necessities in school.
That's a great idea! A few years back when I learned to crochet I was always looking for yarn. I found an ad on Craigslist for a bunch of yarn, I contacted the person and found out it was a gentleman that lost his wife. He said a few bags of yarn. What I got was something like 6 huge trashbags full of yarn, some in progress blankets, books, hooks and knitting supplies! I went through it all and donated a bunch to my daughter's school (her Kinder teacher still uses it, and she just finished 3rd grade!), I used a HUGE amount for a ministry I was involved in for a while, making pocket prayer cloths for military and then donated the rest to the local Pres. church as they did a ministry too. I still have a few skeins! Give the gift! Thanks!
I have 5 knitting machines and a yarn stash and lots of knitting books and patterns. Believe it or not but my 12 year old Grandson has asked me to leave my knitting stuff to him. He just loves to knit on my machines. My Granddaughter just wants my rings.
Another group to leave your craft supplies to is your local Girl Scout troop.
This was the one thing that bothered my grandmother the most. What would happen to all of her sewing and crafting stash. I assured her that when the time came, I'd come and take everything crafty of hers and make good use of it. I was the only one of 4 grand-daughters that took the time to actually learn her crafts. She would always say, "Marie and Shirley (daughters) will come in here and throw all of my stuff away because they won't know what to do with it. You are the only one that knows." She was right! lol I rescued all of her crafty things and put them all to use at various times. She was a great teacher and is very missed now.

3 Reasons To Buy Wines Direct
No matter what type of event you are organizing, a bottle of beautiful wine is a must-have, especially if you want to celebrate with style, in a perfect atmosphere. Whether it is a wedding or a birthday party, or just an intimate dinner with your partner, there is an ideal wine for any occasion. You just have to choose the one that most suits your taste.
When it comes to buying wines, you have few options. Normally, you can purchase wine from the local liqueur store, or you can get it directly from the supplier. Buying wines from the store is not always a good option. Mostly because of limited choices and because of the price. A bottle of wine bought in a liqueur store would usually cost more because these stores do not buy directly from the wineries and wine producers. Hence, the best option is to buy wines right from the supplier.
Here are the 3 main reasons why you should buy wines direct:
- Reason No. 1 - Greater Choice
You should know that when you turn directly to the wine supplier, you will be "flooded" with a bevy of wines, so there are zero chances that you will not find the wine you need and want. Wine suppliers are chock-full of large selection of different wine brands and this is nothing to be compared to the narrowed, rather poor wine offer of the local liqueur stores. Hence, a good reason for you to buy wines direct.
- Reason No. 2 - Guaranteed Quality
One thing you should be sure about when you buy wines straight from the supplier is the wine integrity. Wine suppliers are extremely careful when making their selection of wines they offer to the market. Thus, you can be stress-free that you are buying nothing less than original brand and 100% quality wine.
- Reason No. 3 – Lower Prices
Local liqueur stores usually sell wines at prices that are more expensive than the wines cost themselves. It is the way things go, and it is up to you to accept it or find another better and less expensive alternative. To buy wines direct is definitely such one and you should consider it. Furthermore, wine suppliers are known for their special promotions and discounts, so why not make a perfect bargain?

Agency: Glue London
Client: VisitSweden
VisitSweden, together with Tourism in Skåne, have launched a viral campaign targeting independent-minded UK travellers to inspire them to take a break in Skåne, southern Sweden, this summer or autumn.
Entitled 'Dave goes to Skåne', the campaign focuses on a London geezer's four video diaries of the region, voiced by the BBC 'Fast Show's Simon Day.
The videos have been designed to challenge the 'ideal' of the UK break and offer a realistic and affordable alternative in Skåne, with no need to compromise on quality.
Users can view the videos on visitsweden.com/davegoestoskane and can follow Dave's exploits on Twitter (twitter.com/DavegoestoSkane), Fickr (flickr.com/photos/smithdave158) and Facebook (facebook.com/davegoestoskane).
VisitSweden worked with creative agencies glue and 12foot6 to develop the controversial character, Dave, a know-it-all East End yob, presented as a typical British holidaymaker.
A former hooligan who has channeled his energy into reading books, Dave is still facing some anger and swearing issues.
This ironic contrast is evident throughout the videos, where each time Dave sees a beautiful scene in Skåne he describes it using eloquent language before criticising it, and exclaiming that he'd rather be in back in the UK.
The tongue-in-cheek campaign is aimed at those who think of themselves as 'travellers' rather than 'tourists' and who consider the idea of any destination full of other typical British holidaymakers as something to be avoided.
They're exactly the kind of people who would be attracted by Skåne's array of spectacular sandy beaches, gorgeous countryside, mouth-watering cuisine, cutting-edge art and design and the cool metropolitan city of Malmö – not to mention its lack of 'Brit's abroad'.
"With the Met Office being forced to backtrack on their promise of a 'barbecue summer' in Britain, savvy travellers are looking to destinations outside the EuroZone, such as Sweden, to offer good value breaks this summer," said PR Manager UK & Ireland for VisitSweden, Philippa Sutton.
"We hope that the Dave campaign will help to inspire independent travellers in a fun and lighthearted way to consider the little-known region of Skåne."

I daily see pictures of females posted on facebook. Females of all ages. My question is why do all the women comment on these pictures always saying how beautiful the girl is, even though often the girl in the picture is a fat homely plain at best female?
Most Helpful Girl
Because is the person knows the girl outside her outer appearance then she will be pretty. Plus, just cause you don't find her attractive, doesn't mean she isn't. Why would you put someone down about their physical appearance when no matter who you are you deserve to be confident in how you look.00|00|0

Ethiopian salads are far from complex creations. Salads are usually very basic combinations of many native vegetables along with a little oil or vinegar and a few seasonings. These are generally very light and not meant to be the center course of any meal, however, they are quite popular during Lent when Ethiopian Orthodox Christians refrain from eating meats of any form.

Breakfast is better to have for dinner
Why because having dinner for breakfast is just feels weird to me and other people my feel this way to and some may think I am just crazy for think like that but I just don't care. The three reasons I chose breakfast for dinner is because 1 when you are in your pj's you can feel comfortable and can enjoy the meal . 2 For me it feels weird to eat dinner in the morning and it just feel doesn't feel right . 3 When you eat dinner for breakfast it feels like you need to not to be in a comfortable you need to be in a formal dressing and siting in a dining table instead you could have been in the couch watching tv or on your phone.
The best meal is to go to ihop and get there New York strawberry flavored cheesecake pancake, and this how i described it melting cheesecake cream in the pancakes and there are 4 to 6 pancakes and you get to pick but anyways there is also hot melted syrup strawberry flavored and strawberry's on top with powdered sugar with whip cream on top.

You are incorrigible. How many fucking times do we have to go over these points before it sinks into your head? There are other State interests in marriage than just procreation. Longer life, better health, stability, financial independence.... Argue against it all you like.... it's about the same as a creationist arguing that evolution isn't scientific.<quoted text>
C'mon XBox, use your head for something other than a hat rack. Remove the sexual procreative aspect of the marital relationship, and what else is there to generate a compelling state interest? Why prohibit blood relatives from marrying? Its because they might have sex, and make a baby, named Xavier Breath....just kidding.
<quoted text>
That reason was made long before you, or I were born. Do you think its a fluke that SSM never, other than a few scattered historical examples, existed before in the West, or around the globe for that matter?
<quoted text>
Scientifically proven on untold numerous studies conducted on husbands AND wives. There's not sufficient numbers or studies to conclusively prove such studies are applicable to SSM, male or female. If a study shows that married men live longer because of their wife, would that study be applicable to a female SSC? Male SSC? What about plural marriage? If what you are saying is true, there's no reason not to allow that. It would benefit plural marriage practioners too.

Avoid using appeals to tradition?????????? hellooooooooooooooooooo
#183817 Mar 19, 2013
Yeah that had me laughing too, tradition is all they have to stand on, but tradition is a choice, not a law.
#183818 Mar 19, 2013
That is true, just as being able to bear a child is not a requirement. Soon another barrier will fall across all 50 states, so far it is only fallen in 11 with one district, California soon to regain its rights and freedoms as well.
From the government standpoint all marriages are a legal contract between 2 people, nothing more. Some states limit it further, others do not.
Your personal church can still have its ceremony " Do you take this women to be your child bearing appliance" or whatever words you use.
Fortunately we dont all have to belong to your church, we live in the land of the free.

If homosexuals wish to marry, enter into a legally recognized union of husband wife, at least in 32 states, that is what they should do.
Seriously, "second class citizens"? So if a gay person marries, of their own free will, some one of the opposite sex, are they a first class, or second class citizen?
#183821 Mar 19, 2013
Or they can marry in the 10 states and one district ( more to follow ) that has entered the 21st century, or the 17 nations that also recognize them ( and more to follow ), California is on the verge of regaining its rights and freedoms.
In the next couple of months Prop 8 will be struck down quickly followed by DOMA
The wording that is now expected will may almost any challenge to the states that have altered their constitution against equality to swiftly succeed in overturning it.
Not a sure thing yet, but the writing is on the wall, 58% of Americans now support gay marriage, the white house advocate general has been allotted time in the arguments, and the republican leadership is swiftly jumping on the bandwagon.
One would have to be blind to not see where this is going.

Let me guess, the "D" is the letter grade you received in school for reading comprehension. The author of that piece, a gay man, stated he avoided using tradition and religion in forming his stance on same sex marriage.
Not all who oppose legalizing SSM do so on religious grounds.
Sounds like you're trying to define marriage for everyone else. Marriage remains a legally recognized union of husband and wife. At least in 32 U.S. states, and most societies around the globe. All there other items you mentioned, ARE NOT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.
Also, polygamy is a valid form of marriage practiced in far more place than SSM, even in this country, albeit without legal recognition. Amazing how you omit that.
What your marriage is beyond a legally recognized union of husband and wife, is up to YOU AND YOUR wife. The law does not care if you call her your partner, mother of your children,, honey pie, or shnookems.

"Freedom"? So submitting one's personal intimate relationship to government regulation is freedom?
By the way, so when will "freedom" be extended to consensual plural marriages?
Those states with constitutional amendments,simply recognized men and women are different, each is one half of the marital relationship. They felt no need to turn a man into a woman, or vice versa.
Yet we still have 32 plus states where the voters have said otherwise. Time will tell.
It's "going" to further devalue marriage, a process that began long before gay marriage came about, it is the reason why it's legal, and Americans as a whole are not marrying at rates they did just thirty years ago. Who knows SSM might become legal nation wide, and it might not. Plural marriage might become legal, thanks in part to legal SSM. The more the merrier.
#183824 Mar 19, 2013
You need to learn to read.. is English your primary language? I said a majority of the rapidly diminishing number of people that oppose same sex marriage do so for religious reasons, and that remains a fact regardless of your ignorance of the fact.
No I am for letting each individual person the freedom to define their marriage and taking away the tynary of you personally defining it for everyone else.
and to your last point, no I cannot have you arrested for referring to your wife as your child bearing appliance, but I do pity her.
My wife is my very best friend, my partner, the one person I can be open about anything to, never hide anything from. She knows all my hopes and fears and my shortcomings ( my wife teases me that I have absolutely no tolerance whatsoever for the intolerant ) and my strengths. I hope my children have the same kind of marriage I have... so far they have.... we taught them well.
And by the way they all support Same sex marriage along with a majority of Americans, we taught them very well.
#183825 Mar 19, 2013
The argument in the country is starting to change, anyone notice.
Now that 11 states and one district recognize SSM, the argument is now, why are same sex couples treated differently in one state than another, isnt freedom for all Americans?
Perfect :)
That is now what businesses are asking the federal government, they are saying it is a business imperative that they be able to attract and move the best people for the job from state to state regardless of their orientation, that SSM needs to be recognized nationally.

My response did not contradict what you wrote, retread it. I do not oppose SSM on religious grounds.
Did you not read what I actually wrote? The state defines marriage. In 32 plush states it is DEFINED AS A LEGALLY RECOGNIZED UNION OF Husband and Wife. How a couple wishes to define it beyond that. Are you suggesting the state is "tyrannical"?
This from a man who thinks his wife is interchangeable with another man.
Part of that teaching, is modeling behavior, sons learn from their fathers how a husband should treat his wife, and daughters learn the same. I have taught my daughters as well, as well. Tolerance does not mean we ignore differences.
Do they support plural marriage as well, or is that crossing the tolerance line?
#183828 Mar 19, 2013
Once again more SCUM BAG republicans are indicted and will face charges, just like the dirt bag calling himself Nick COnway of thesgvCOG stealing seems to be there only job.
#183829 Mar 19, 2013
So you claim to be in the minority of the larger minority of people that oppose Same Sex marriage, not something to be congratulated for.
There are 11 states that recognize same sex marriages as well, and one district, soon to be followed by California regaining its freedom.
Yes we modeled our behavior, we were open, and accepting of people different from ourselves, we were inclusive of people of different religions, orientations even politics, our modeling that behavior was instilled our children who are also unafraid of and accepting of people different than themselves.
Ignore... no, accept and welcome, yes. They put love before hate, acceptance before fear, and they cherish the American values of Justice, Freedom and Equality
#183831 Mar 19, 2013
And he is back to the old religion created playbook against SSM! Wooo Hoooo!
Lost on procreation, lost on gay judges, lost on tradition so it is back to the slippery slope arguments!
Those are the most fun
lets cut to the chase, I want to hear about your desire to marry your goat.:P
we can talk about Plural when there are enough responsible people campaigning for it, when you have enough signatures on a petition to put it on a ballot, but please take video of your getting the signatures, we want that for You Tube

Republicans self-analysis: The party of stuffy old men.'
#183833 Mar 19, 2013
Yes. Your expressed view runs parallel to Christian belief. Those views hold that God created the world perfect, but because man transgressed his law, sin was allowed to creep in. It has been downhill ever since. Can we single out Republicans for imposing their infamous 14th Amendment which overturned the Constitution - thereby allowing tyranny to reign in the land, when the nature of the "anti-White" Republicans only embody the fallen condition of man?
According to the historical record:
" And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." (Genesis 1:31)
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels," (Revelation 12:7)
"And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven." (Revelation 12:8)
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Revelation 12:9)
"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" (Genesis 3:1)
"And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:" (Genesis 3:2)
"But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." (Genesis 3:3)
" And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:" (Genesis 3:4)
"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:5)
"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." (Genesis 3:6)
"And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." (Genesis 3:7)
"And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." (Genesis 3:13)
"Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken." (Genesis 3:23)
"And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." (Genesis 2:23)
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24)
"If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:" (James 2:8)
"But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors." (James 2:9)
"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." (James 2:10)
Incidentally, Nuggin. The Defense of marriage Act is an Act of the Congress. It is not an amendment to the Constitution.

Leadership, passionate, and courageous. That pretty much sums up Malcom x's qualities. Malcom x championed the rights of African Americans and was a born leader also. He was very passionate bout bringing whites and blacks together during the 1950's and 60's. He lead speeches to give the black people a new life,and it worked.
Leadership, a black militant, Malcom x championed the rights if African Americans and urged them to develop racial unity. He encouraged his people to think for themselves. He learned to change his viewpoint. He became a active in the Nation of Islam, a black serpeist group.
Passionate , Malcom x was a prominent figure during the civil rights era. Malcom advocated for both the establishment for a separate black community in the use of violence in self defense rather than non violence. His forceful use of words to help the black man overcome all of the bad things happening will go down in history.
Courageous, Malcom x showed courage by giving speeches and leading the black people to a new life. He deserves more credit for his courage in fighting racism. Malcom x's speeches were "The ballot or the bullet".

Movie Lovers' Ratings & Reviews:
Based on 10 ratings.
When i first stated to watch i was very surprised to see just how well the stories are written and the acting was excellent by all the cast.
This forgotten TV show shows its Desilu roots. In a few years they would produce the classic TV show "The Untouchables" and the same ingrediants that made that show a sucess are here: tight scripts, obvious good vs evil and a tough straight arrow lead, here played by John Bromfield. Some familiar faces are here as guests: Stanley (Star Trek's "Trouble WIth Tribbles") Adams, the "Dukes of Hazards' James Best, and Gloria ("I Married a Monster From Outer Space") Talbott. Its worth a look.
As an added bonus, ALpha has added an episode of the "Sugarfoot" TV show. Part of the Warner Brothers western lineup from the late 1950s (Cheyenne-Maverick-Bronco-etc), the brothers Warner have beem rather miserly in thier DVD releases and I believe this is the only example of "Sugarfoot" available on DVD.

Meet the WinkBeds mattress! WinkBeds is a new mattress start-up company looking to shake things up in the luxury hybrid mattress market. They are among a very small group of online mattress companies that's designed and manufactured a high-end hybrid mattress.
Their online only business model has allowed WinkBeds to strip out overhead and the sea of middlemen, offering a high-quality mattress for a fraction of what you'd pay in a traditional retail mattress store. A mattress of this quality would easily go for $3K+ in a traditional retail store.
Continue reading for our full WinkBeds mattress review below or if you want the quick summary…click here to skip to the final conclusions at the bottom.
The WinkBeds mattress is a 15″ coil-on-coil hybrid mattress constructed from 5 different layers. Coil-on-coil is a high-quality construction technique for coil or other hybrid mattresses. It maximizes support, comfort, and long-term durability.
Top layer (euro-style pillow top) – WinkBeds sleep surface is effectively a euro-style pillow topper. Euro-style pillow toppers have a feel similar to traditional pillow tops, but are more durable over time and aesthetically more pleasing as they are sewn into the cover vs. sewn on top of the cover. The sleep surface is 2.0″ and contains a blend of HyperSoft foam and gel. This layer is designed to:
- Contour to your body, while also remaining highly responsive to your movements throughout the night
- Provide balanced sinkage to create a soft and comfortable feel, without feeling like you're sleeping in quick sand
- Promote breathability and cooling via gel
- Maintain its shape over time
Second layer (foam-encased coils) – this is a 2.5″ layer of pocketed coils aka foam-encased spring coils. There are 1,358 coils in a Queen size. More coils generally means superior support. For reference sake, a comparable traditional retail mattress (~$3,000) has about 850 coils. This layer is designed to:
- Encourage airflow and breathability overall
- Create flexible, pressure-relieving support
- Naturally evaporate any moisture from sweat
Third layer (edge support system) – this layer is only present along the edges of the mattress. It's a 4.0″ layer of high density support foam. This layer is designed to:
- Allow you to sleep all the way on the edge of the bed without sagging or feeling like you're going to sink off the side of the mattress
- Sit on the edge without collapse
Fourth layer (steel coil support) – this is a layer of high-profile tempered steel coils. It's constructed from 858 coils in the Queen size. This layer is designed to:
- Provide consistent support
- Help to evenly distribute weight and conform to body shape
- Increase support when under heavier pressure (IE, great support for both small people and larger persons)
- Silently work – coils are wrapped with a cotton mesh to reduce noise
Bottom layer (foam foundation) – the final bottom layer is a 2.0″ high density support foam that provides great shape and acts as a foundation for the mattress.
The cover is constructed from Tencel fibers. Tencel is an Eco-friendly fiber derived from the Eucalyptus tree.
The cover's materials make it highly breathable and soft. Tencel is naturally absorbent, making it ideal for wicking moisture and sweat away from the sleeping surface, helping to keep sleepers cool. Tencel is OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1 certified, indicating it's safe enough for babies and children.
Aesthetically, the cover strikes a balance of both the classic and modern. The lower side panel and top cover are all white, without significant adornment. Running along the top of the side panel is a smooth polka dot ribbon. The white polka dots on a blue background add a nice splash of color and really bring the Winkbed's cover to life.
Firmness, Comfort, & Support
The WinkBed is available in soft, medium, or firm feels. For this review I tested the medium version, which comes in at a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale (where 10 is the most firm). The most notable and unique attribute of the WinkBed is definitely their comfort top layer. It is very similar to euro-style pillow toppers. The comfort layer on top is packed with HyperSoft foam and gel foam. This layer provides most of the comfort and softness for the mattress.
The WinkBed is also available in soft and firm models. The soft WinkBed lands at a 4.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale and the firm brings home a 7.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale.
This top layer also adds a slight degree of body contour / hug, however it's not nearly as dramatic as you'd see with a 100% foam mattress. This makes it ideal for sleepers who want a slight degree of hug / contour, but don't like the feel that foam mattresses can have. The top comfort layer feels similar to other traditional pillow tops I have tested in terms of softness, contour, hug, and overall feel.
Since the WinkBed uses coils and an edge support mattress it is able to deliver better edge support (for both sitting and sleeping) and better bounce. The bounce is great when you want it…namely, getting out of bed, preventing that "stuck feeling", and sex, but relatively subdued when you don't…IE, waking your partner up from moving around during the night. The comfort layer on top helps to dissipate some of the bounce here, eliminating some of the motion transfer.
Motion transfer was a little bit more than I see in foam mattresses. However, it wasn't bad at all. The top comfort sleep surface, which is mostly foam, does a good job of helping to minimize the motion.
The WinkBed mattress offers medium firm support. The 2 layers of coils provide consistent support in any sleeping position. Lastly, since the WinkBed is so thick (15″ total) it will provide great deep compression support, especially for larger sleepers.
Sinkage Tests
All mattresses reviews on Sleepopolis go through a series of sinkage tests. These tests are designed to help give you an idea of how the mattress will perform under various conditions.
- Lying position on my back – In a normal lying position where my weight was evenly distributed across the mattress I saw 2″ of sinkage. Most of the sinkage results from the sleep surface comfort foams. As such, it's a fairly soft feel.
- Lying position on my side – in a normal lying position on my side I saw 2.25″ of sinkage.
- Sitting position (conservative) – in a conservative sitting position where my weight is further back on the mattress I experienced 3.5″ of sinkage.
- Sitting position (aggressive) – in a more aggressive sitting position where all my weight was directly on the edge there was 4″ of sinkage.
- Standing position – standing directly in the middle of the mattress, with all of my weight focused on a single point, I saw 5″ of sinkage.
Overall, these sinkage results are fairly impressive. One of the major advantages of buying a coil-on-coil mattress simply comes down to the enhanced edge support. This is an area that foam mattresses tend to struggle with. WinkBed's additional layer of edge support foam is definitely helping to provide a strong edge for both sleeping and sitting. Even sleeping very close to the edge I felt supported and stable on the mattress.
Winkbeds coolControl Mattress Base
The following section discusses Winkbed's coolControl cooling base addon. This is an optional addon. If you are not interested and/or just want the standard Winkbed click here to continue below.
In 2017, WinkBeds released their new Winkbeds coolControl mattress base. The coolControl is a specialized base addon for your Winkbed, allowing sleeper's to dramatically cool or heat their mattress.
The Winkbed mattress that comes with the coolControl base is virtually the same as the standard Winkbed (discussed above), with the exception of four channels located on the bottom of the mattress, which allow for airflow from the coolControl base. This new technology gives sleepers the ability to choose their cooling or heating level, increasing the mattress temperature by up to +30 degrees Fahrenheit or decreasing the temperature by -10 degrees Fahrenheit.
The WinkBeds coolControl system includes both the base—which pumps the air—and a special WinkBeds mattress. The system is broken down into three main parts:
- For starters, there's a coolControl base that acts as the foundation and sits on your frame or bed slats
- Next up, there are airflow tubes, which help direct and funnel the conditioned air going from the base into the mattress.
- Finally, there's the special edition WinkBed. This WinkBed is similar to the original WinkBed, but this version has slots for the tubes (from the base) to enter and blow air. Additionally, the foams used in this WinkBed are slightly less dense, allowing for optimal airflow from the base through the mattress.
- The slightly less dense foams also change the feel a bit compared to the original Winked. It has a touch less of a plush feeling. The original (medium) Winkbed mattress is around a 6 firmness, this special version of the Winkbed is more of a 6.5 out of 10, where 10 is the most firm.
Performance & Feel
The coolControl system by WinkBeds certainly sits in a unique space. I have not tested another mattress that has the ability to heat up and cool down in this fashion. To put it into perspective, imagine you're sitting in a car that has the option of heating or cooling the seats. This is essentially how the WinkBeds coolControl technology functions.
Overall, I found the coolControl to be quite nice. Although there are a few small cons (see below), the performance of this cooling base is very solid.
During my sleep test, I tested both the heating and cooling features. Both were quick to jump to the level I set them at and provided a consistent feel. It only took a couple of minutes for the base to heat or cool once it was on. The coolControl base puts out an impressive level of heating and cooling. During my tests I tried both the maximum level of cooling and heating and found both to be so cool and hot, respectively, that I had to turn the base down to a lower level.
For sleepers with serious cooling or heating needs the coolControl base packs tremendous performance.
The coolControl base includes two remotes (see below), which can control each side of the mattress individually or together as unit. Additionally, the coolControl base can be controlled by the power unit that sits on the floor.
My favorite part about the remote is its simplicity. The remote is easy to use and intuitive. In addition to the remote control, WinkBeds has released an app for iOS (Android coming later this year) that allows sleepers to control the system from their phone or tablet. This app is equally intuitive, and like the remote, allows full control of temperature, sleep timer, and scheduler.
That said, there were a couple of cons I found with the coolControl technology: noise level and vibrations. For starters, the motors used in the base of the system create a level of noise that some sleepers may find annoying. It's about as loud as standard AC unit or a modular fan. If you're comfortable with a certain level of white noise you may be fine. However, if you need absolute quiet you'll likely be disappointed with the level of noise created.
Next up, vibrations. The vibrations are not overly dramatic, but they are noticeable. Once again, this may not be an issue for every sleeper, but if you find yourself easily awoken by slight motion / vibrations you may find it disrupting to your sleep.
WinkBeds recommends using a slatted foundation with their coolControl system. Platform beds will prevent the base of the system from breathing, making it difficult for air to flow smoothly through the mattress.
All things considered, this technology is definitely something to be aware of. If you're a profound hot or cold sleeper, this system should not be overlooked. That said, WinkBeds coolControl is not cheap. At $3,499 for the Queen mattress and coolControl base, it is an expensive investment. However, if money is no object or you simply want the coolest / warmest sleep environment, I would highly recommend taking a serious look into the WinkBeds coolControl technology.

Should you buy a WinkBed mattress?
The WinkBed mattress is an interesting development in the online mattress industry. The vast majority of the online mattresses coming out are built from latex, memory foam, or other foams. WinkBed's coil-on-coil hybrid construction combined with a foam topper makes it fairly unique for online mattresses (Saatva is really the only other one doing this).
I would recommend the WinkBed to anyone who falls into the following categories:
- You want a a hybrid / coil mattress – WinkBed is a hybrid / coil mattress, this gives it a more traditional feel than memory foam on its own, along with improved bounce. If you don't like how 100% foam mattresses sleep the WinkBed can offer a more classic feel.F
- You want a soft, medium, or firm mattress – WinkBeds is offered in three firmness levels, 4.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, where 10 is the most firm (soft), 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale (medium), and 7.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale (firm).
- You want a balanced pillow top – The Winkbed's varying firmness and design specs give it a very classic and balanced feel. Once again, it's a stark departure from 100% foam mattresses that create most of their pressure relief from contouring foams. Winkbed's softness comes from the softness of the pillow topper.
- You want white glove delivery service – Winkbeds are not compressed and not shipped in a box. They come fully decompressed and are delivered and setup buy a team of two. You don't have to worry about setting the mattress up or unboxing at all.
For more information on WinkBeds visit WinkBeds.com. If you decide to give the Winkbed a try don't forget to use code "SLEEPOPOLIS50"! You can save $50 off any Winkbed mattress.
Innerspring gets a facelift
Edge Support
Winkbeds gives the traditional hybrid / innerspring mattress a major facelift. The cover and aesthetic has been completely re-done and looks like what a modern mattress should be. The construction quality is there also with coil-on-coil build, foam comfort layer, and an edge support system. Winkbeds checks most of my boxes. At a medium firmness, 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, it's suitable for most sleepers. That said, the WinkBed is also available in soft and firm. An ideal choice if you're looking for a quality hybrid mattress at a fair online price.

The tower is the memorable feature of this church, being formed of a brick octagon (of 1743) sitting on a flint cube, all resting on the west end of the nave. The whole of the church as it is now is of Perpendicular date, and consists of a nave, a chancel, and a south aisle that runs the whole length of both - but with no clerestorey.
The south porch is attached to the aisle, suggesting that the porch came first. Its parapet was rebuilt (to a different design) in the twentieth century. It had been given a Classical 'makeover', and had three figures perched upon it. The rebuild restored a Gothic appearance. One of these figures still remains as a pinnacle on the south-west corner.
The windows are all Perpendicular, except for the east window, which is Decorated. The structure of the tower is immediately apparent on entering. It sits on three arches (east, south, and north) at the west end of the nave, forming a kind of narthex. As these line up with the north and south doors (and the later south porch), it would have allowed processions to pass through the building. The aisle has four-centred arches, with octagonal piers. The chancel roof is arch braced, while that in the nave is scissor-beamed
Nineteenth century -restorations took place in 1842 and 1882. This later one saw the insertion of fashionable 'mediæval-style' furnishings, including a screen and a Gothic reredos. The parish of St James was a notorious slum area in nineteenth-century Norwich. It was dominated by the Pockthorpe Brewery. It was one of the early churches to adopt High Church ritual. The parish magazines reveal that, in the late nineteenth century, societies of every kind met every night of the week. It was the first parish in which sisters from the Community of All Hallows at Ditchingham came to work. Twentieth century - The furnishings have all been dispersed. The font, probably fourteenth-century, is now in the daughter church of St Mary Magdalen, Silver Road. It is octagonal, with two saints on each face of the bowl and a further eight around the stem. (A similar one, from All Saints' church, is now in St Julian's.) Also in St Mary's is the dado of the mediæval rood screen, with ten fine paintings. The church was closed in 1972, and in 1980 was converted for use as a puppet theatre. An octagonal structure was built on the south side to provide storage and working space.

Matthew McCounaghey and Emile Hirsch on the Poster for 'Killer Joe'
by Ethan Anderton
September 2, 2011
Source: ComingSoon
With direction from William Friedkin, filmmaker behind flicks like The Exorcist and French Connection, and a cast that includes Emile Hirsch, Matthew McConaughey, Juno Temple and Thomas Haden Church, the forthcoming thriller Killer Joe could be a big hit when it hits the Toronto International Film Festival later this month (stay tuned for our coverage right here). Now the very first poster has has made its way online in the form of some ominous imagery featuring a western-looking McConaughey and a very concerned Hirsch. We'll likely have a review from TIFF later this month, but you can see the poster below!
Here's the first official poster for Killer Joe, courtesy of ComingSoon (click for larger version):
Killer Joe is directed by Oscar-winning director, William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection, Rules of Engagement, Bug) with a script by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright, Tracy Letts, and marks their second collaboration after teaming up for the 2006 film Bug. When 22-year-old drug dealer Chris (Hirsch) has his stash stolen by his mother, he has to come up with six thousand dollars quick or he's dead. Desperate, he turns to "Killer Joe" (McConaughey) when he finds out that his mother's life insurance policy is worth $50,000. Although Joe usually demands cash up front, he finds himself willing to bend the rules in exchange for Chris' attractive younger sister, Dottie (Temple), who will serve as sexual collateral until the money comes in… if it ever does. No theatrical release date has been set for the film yet.

This is a column by Jason Schreier dedicated to the analysis (and occasional mocking) of his favorite genre, the Japanese role-playing game. Whether it's because they're too antiquated or just too niche, he believes JRPGs don't get enough attention in the gaming industry today. It's time to change that.
The bad news is that today's column will be my last. I've accepted a full-time job elsewhere and I won't be able to write for Joystiq anymore. It's been a blast talking about JRPGs with you all, and I hope you enjoyed reading my articles almost as much as I enjoyed writing them.
The good news is that I'm taking this opportunity to write about one of the best JRPGs of all time, a game I always fervidly rank at the top of every "Best Games Ever!!!" list. Few games know how to tell a story this poignant, this engaging, this memorable. Few games blend narrative and mechanics together this smoothly. Few games are so powerful that they convince you to ignore some significant flaws, like bizarre bugs and a terrible translation effort. But this one is.
It's called Suikoden II.

How to Do a Smoky Eye
Get a Springtime Smoky Eye Like Kate Hudson
When you think of a sultry smoky eye, the words radiant and glitter probably don't come to mind. But last night at an Almay concert to celebrate the Rainforest Fund's 21st birthday, Kate Hudson (the brand's new spokeswoman) pulled it off beautifully. For tips on creating a milder version of the look, just keep reading.
Start off by applying a primer on the lids to both brighten the eyes and keep shadow from wandering. Next, sweep on a medium-toned lavender shadow on the crease and a deep brown shade on the lids. Makeup artist Leslie Lopez used Almay Shadow Trio in For Browns ($6). To make the eyes pop even more, line the tops and bottoms with a pearly toned topaz eyeliner. Lopez used Liner in Brown Topaz ($7) on Kate. Finish the look with a dab of glitter on the eyelid and some thickening mascara.
