CINCINNATI (AP) - The Cincinnati Bengals have obtained running back Brian Leonard in a trade with St. Louis.
The Rams got reserve defensive tackle Orien Harris in the deal Thursday.
Leonard was the Rams' second-round draft pick in 2007. He played in 16 games with seven starts as rookie, rushing for 303 yards and catching 30 passes for 183 yards.
Last season, Leonard played in only two of the Rams' first five games due to a shoulder injury, then spent the rest of the season on injured reserve.
The Bengals claimed Harris on waivers from New Orleans last August. He played mainly on special teams.

Beau Biden exit: another blow for Democrats in midterms
Beau Biden, son of the vice president, announced Monday he won't run for the Senate. Every departure of a strong Democrat from the fall midterms takes the GOP one step closer to big gains.
For Republicans, two more pieces of the Big Win scenario for November have fallen into place. Beau Biden, the Democratic attorney general of Delaware and son of the vice president, announced Monday he's not running for the Senate. And seven-term Rep. Marion Berry of Arkansas, a conservative Democrat in a red state, announced he is retiring.
Both decisions are a big blow to the Democrats. In Delaware, Mr. Biden was seen as the only Democrat with a shot at holding onto the seat held by his father until last January. In Arkansas, Congressman Berry's retirement – the 12th by a House Democrat so far this cycle – makes that seat ripe for Republican takeover.
Every departure of a strong Democrat from the race this fall takes the Republicans one step closer to big gains in November. If the Obama White House keeps struggling – and unemployment remains high – there's an outside shot that the Republicans could take over the House, political analysts say. The Senate is an even bigger throw, with the Democrats enjoying a 59-41 majority, but the Republican victory in Massachusetts last week is encouraging other Republicans to consider running against presumably safe Democrats.
As the number of competitive races grows, the Democrats' sure-thing majority looks slightly less sure.

Instead of pre-packaged "kits" you will save money purchasing ingredients ala carte. This is particularly true if you start cutting out extract via partial mash brewing. I would do a search for Deathbrewer's excellent threads on stovetop partial mash brewing. His simple "mash in a bag" method will allow you to save a huge amount over extract kits.
So, the husband tried to sparge it but probably didn't get the max sugars out of it. It didn't build a nice yeast cake during fermentation. How can he save the beer? Add some DME, boil it (for how long), and then later add to the beer? Other suggestions?? Thanks much.
I am sure you can add some more sugars to it but I have to wonder why you did not get good sparge.
I think he didn't do it right. How much sugar would you add? Any tips?
What was his starting gravity and where is it now? And where do you want to end up.
$50 on an IPA!? I must be a cheap SOB, I don't think I spent that on my last 4 brews. But yes, absolutely you can get some ingredients from the market. I get most of my adjuncts for either a higher end grocery store or the local bakery(you'd be amazed what kind of deal they'll give you when they find out it's for beer). With a little money up front for some additional equipment, you will same in the long run going all grain. Group/bulk buys are another cost saver, harvesting yeast, growing your own hops, and yes believe it or not, kegging (both time and money).

Since the members of the G8 apparently agree with the scientific community that climate change is a problem that needs to be adressed....I was wondering who out there is still buying into the "global warming is a myth" arguement? anyone? Bueller.......Bueller? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6731045.stm G8 leaders agree to climate deal German and American views had differed ahead of the summit Leaders of the G8 nations have agreed to seek "substantial" cuts in emissions in an effort to tackle climate change. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the G8 would negotiate within a UN framework to seek a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol by the end of 2009.
Global warming is happening, but only a tiny percentage of it is man made. Therein lies the disagreement. Damn that sun.
From the research that I've done, I'm in agreement with this. The sun is in a 'hot cycle'. We won't know as much about Global Warming until this cycle ends and the next cooling trend happens. If it never comes, then I guess we're screwed.
You will be crucified in here for holding this view. I'm more inclined to think the warming we're experiencing is sun related also. I'm open to the idea that it might be man-made, but to date am not yet convinced. What scares me about this subject is the extremism of one side. When I see people hollaring and screaming that the world is coming to an end, I become skeptical. The doomsdayers and their "the debate is over" and "consensus" crap does this to me. Also, Kyoto was a socialist driven, redistrubution of wealth policy. Again though, I'm very open to hearing an honest debate.
The vast majority of "greenhouse gas" is water vapor. Carbon emmissions account for a very small amount, less than 1% if memory serves. We could make big changes to have a neligible effect but there's no real point. Meanwhile all the scientists who disagree with the Global Warming crows will continue to get shouted down in the media.
You're gonna have to count me in that count too, Diver. That is, as not convinced humanity caused it or there is really anything Humanity can do to stop it. There is evidence of severe global climate change throughout the millions of years of earth history that's been studied. Without the help of humanity. Belichickfan, I sure hope that number is well below 1%. 1% is quite a bit when you multiply it by globe. I hope that's enough to dilute and not be a determining factor for our climate.

Sandwich /ˈsændwɨdʒ/ is an historic town and civil parish on the River Stour in the non-metropolitan district of Dover, within the ceremonial county of Kent, south-east England. It has a population of 4,985.[1]
It was one of the Cinque Ports and still has many original medieval buildings, including several listed public houses and gates in the old town walls, churches, almshouses and the White Mill. While once a major port, it is now two miles from the sea, its historic centre preserved.[2]
Sandwich Bay is home to nature reserves and two world-class golf courses, Royal St George's and Prince's. The town is also home to educational and cultural events.
The name is of Old English or Scandinavian origin, meaning 'a trading-centre on sand' (from 'wic' or 'vik', 'settlement').[3]
In 1028 King Canute granted a charter to the monks of Christ Church, Canterbury to operate a ferry across the river and collect tolls.
In 1192 Returning from the Third Crusade, Richard Lionheart was jailed by the King of Germany Henri VI. The Emperor released him in February 1194. On 20 March 1194, Richard landed at the port of Sandwich and came back to England.[4]
The coat of arms of Sandwich is Per pale Gules and Azure three demi-Lions passant guardant in pale Or conjoined with as many sterns of demi-Ships Argent,.[5] It is one of the earliest heraldic examples of dimidiation, an early method of combining two different coats of arms, which in this case combines elements of the Arms of England (1198-1340), Gules three lions passant guardant Or langued and armed Azure, and of the Arms of the Cinque Ports, Azure three ships Or.
Before Sandwich became a Cinque Port, the ancient Saxon town of Stonar, located on the bank of the Wantsum estuary, but on the opposite side of the mouth of the River Stour, was already well established. It remained a place of considerable importance until it disappeared almost without trace in the 14th century. The ruins of the major Roman fort of Richborough are close by. It was the landing place of the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43.[6] In 2008, an archaeological dig proved that this was a defensive site of a Roman beachhead, protecting 700 metres of coast.[7]
On 21 May 1216, Prince Louis of France landed at Sandwich in support of the barons' war against King John.[8]
The Port of Sandwich is no stranger to odd events in English history. It was here in 1255 that the first captive elephant was landed in England,[9] The prize beast arrived at Sandwich quayside, delivered as a gift to the English monarch Henry III, from the French king, and was then taken on foot to the king's zoo at the Tower of London. The journey through Kent is reported to have proceeded without incident, except when a bull in a field adjacent to the roadside took umbrage to the great beast passing and attacked it. In one move the animal was thrown by the elephant and killed outright.[10]
The Fisher Gate on the quay dates from 1384 and has been scheduled as an Ancient Monument. It is the only one of the original mediaeval town gates to survive. It is a Grade I listed building.[11] The nearby Barbican dates from the 14th century and stands at the end of the bridge over the River Stour where it acted as a toll house.[12]
On 28 August 1457, after four years of uneasy peace in England the king presided over a wasting realm, with feudal barons lording over the population of the north and the west of the realm.[13] The French took advantage of the situation by sending a raiding party to Kent, burning much of Sandwich to the ground. A force of around 4,000 men from Honfleur, under the command of Marshal de Breze came ashore to pillage the town, in the process murdering the mayor, John Drury. It thereafter became an established tradition, which survives to this day, that the Mayor of Sandwich wears a black robe in mourning for this ignoble deed.
Sandwich was later to gain significantly from the skills brought to the town by many Flemish settlers, who were granted the right to settle by Queen Elizabeth I in 1560. These settlers, brought with them techniques of market gardening, and were responsible for growing the first English celery,which was already and still very popular in Flanders. Elizabeth I granted 25 Flemish families permission to live in Sandwich and St Peter became the "Stranger's Church" in 1564 when the plague came to the town in an effort to halt the spread of the disease. The 1661 tower collapse was repaired by the Flemish community and the distinctive tower reflects their work. The Huguenot refugees also brought over Flemish architectural techniques, that are now as much a part of Kent as the thatched cottage. People still can see the difference in English (lower section) and Flemish (upper section) of the tower. In addition techniques of silk manufacture were imported, enhancing the Kent cloth industry.
The title Earl of Sandwich was created in 1660 for the prominent naval commander Admiral Sir Edward Montagu.
In 1759, Thomas Paine had his home and shop in a house at 20 New Street, Sandwich.[14] The house is now marked with a plaque and is a listed building.[15]
In 1912 Sir Edwin Lutyens built The Salutation in Queen Anne style. The gardens were laid out by Gertrude Jekyll.[16]
In World War One, Sandwich was important as a transit location for troops heading to Ypres.[17]
In 1980 Jean Barker was made Baroness Trumpington of Sandwich.[18]
The town and parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council's operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also the responsibility of the council.
The town falls within the non-metropolitan district of Dover. The district council is responsible for local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection and recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism.
Kent County Council is responsible for running the largest and most expensive local services such as education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, policing and fire services, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning.
It is also part of a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and at the general election in 2010 became part of the South Thanet constituency.[19] It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election, and part of the South East England constituency of the European Parliament which elects ten MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.
Sandwich is twinned with:
There is Monk's Wall nature reserve and a bird observatory at Sandwich Bay, which provides a home for wild duck and other wildlife in a wetland habitat. The reserve was opened by celebrity bird-watcher Bill Oddie in May 2000. Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust proposed the design and a Management plan including modifications to ditches and control of water levels to create ecological conditions that attract wetland species of plants, animals and birds. Historically the land was reclaimed from the river and sea by the monks of Sandwich and the northern boundary is still the old Monks' wall of the 13th century. In the 1953 floods the sea covered the whole area around Sandwich and after these fields were drained a new river bank was created and the land ploughed for arable farming with heavy use of fertiliser.[22]
There is also a 15 acres (6.1 ha) Local Nature Reserve known as Gazen Salts.[23]
Sandwich lies at the southern end of Pegwell Bay which includes a large nature reserve, known for its migrating waders and wildfowl, with a complete series of seashore habitats including extensive mudflats and salt marsh.
The local economy has benefited from significant investment by Pfizer UK, the British subsidiary of the multinational pharmaceuticals company Pfizer, which has built a research and development centre near Sandwich, employing over 3,000 people. Laboratory experiments at the site have aroused negative comment by animal rights activists. On 18 June 2007 Pfizer announced it will move the Sandwich Animal Health Research (VMRD) division to Kalamazoo, Michigan.[24] Several important drugs including Viagra, Pfizer's treatment for erectile dysfunction and Maraviroc, a drug used for treatment of HIV, were developed here. On 1 February 2011 Pfizer announced that the entire research and development facility at Sandwich would be closed within 18–24 months, with a loss of 2,400 jobs,[25] though it later announced up to 650 jobs would stay.[26] The University of Kent is considering use of the campus style site.[27]
The Guildhall, in the town square, was built in 1579. Work in 1812 encased the building in yellow brick, this was removed 100 years later in 1912, when the south-west wing was also added. Further alterations were undertaken later in the 20th century. It contains antique panelling and paintings, particularly within the council chamber. It is a Grade II* listed building.[28] It includes a stained glass window, showing Queen Elizabeth I arriving at Sandown Gate in 1573, which was added in 1906.[29]
The Admiral Owen is a pub in a two storey 15th century timber-framed building. It was refronted in the 18th century but this preserved the overhang of its 1st floor on a Bressummer and massive corner post with 3 brackets.[30] The nearby Crispin Inn was originally called the Crispin and Crispianus. It has similar timber framing and was built in the 16th century.[31] Across the road on the quay is the Bell Hotel, which underwent major rebuilding in the 18th and 19th centuries. There's been a Bell Inn on the quay since the 14th century.[32]
The three pubs cluster around The Barbican which was built in the late 14th century. It consists of 2 round towers, with chequered work of stone and flints. A narrow road passes between the towers with a semi-circular timber barrel roof over it. A small 2-storeyed 20th-century house built on to north side of the north west tower was occupied by the toll collector for the bridge.[33] The bridge itself was built in 1773 of Portland stone with a Dutch type timber raised platform which was replaced in 1892 with an iron swing bridge.[34]
Sandwich has had at least eight windmills over the centuries, the earliest reference to a mill being dated 1608.[35] Two windmills were marked by Hasted at the New Cut on the Stour estuary. They were most likely pumping mills associated with the saltworks there in the late eighteenth century.[35]
The White Mill is the only survivor. It was built in 1760 and worked by wind until 1929, then by engine until 1957. Today it has been restored and is a heritage and folk museum. The Black Mill was a smock mill which burnt down circa 1910.[36] There was also a post mill which stood near the Black Mill, and was worked in conjunction with it.[36] A smock mill on the Millwall was also known as the Town Mill. It was burnt down. Another mill of unknown type is known to have stood on the Millwall.[36] A sixth windmill stood to the north west of Sandwich, and west of the railway. It formed a group of three with the Black Mill and its neighbour.[36]
The town is served by Sandwich railway station. It was formerly also served by Sandwich Road railway station on the East Kent Light Railway.
Sandwich has been bypassed by the A256 road, which connects the Thanet towns to Dover. It is reached from Canterbury by the A257, which joins the A256 at Sandwich.[37]
Stagecoach in East Kent operate local buses to other major towns in East Kent. Sandwich is on The Diamond network also including Canterbury, Dover and Deal. The Diamond route from sandwich is 13 and 14 to Canterbury, where you can transfer to the rest of The Diamond or other routes, or Deal, where you can transfer on to the rest of The Diamond or local routes to. Local bus routes 87,88 between Dover and Ramsgate and route 89 between Dover and Canterbury also serve the town.
St Bartholomews Chapel was restored and enlarged by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 19th century.[38] Nearby were two religious almshouses; St. Barts Hospital dates back to around 1190 and St. Thomas's Hospital which was built in the 14th century and named in honour of St. Thomas Becket.[39]
The Church of St Peter includes some evidence of early Norman work, but was rebuilt in the early 13th century. In 1661 the top of the central tower collapsed, destroying the south aisle.[40] The Anglican parish church is St. Clement which has a tower dating from the latter half of the 12th century, with the rest of the church being from the 12th and 14th centuries.[41] St Mary's Church also has Norman features and was built on the site of a convent founded by Domne Eafe, cousin to King Ecgberht of Kent.[42]
Sandwich has two world-class golf courses, Royal St George's which hosts The Open Championship approximately every 10 years,[43] and Prince's which hosted The Open Championship in 1932,[44] and is currently an Open Championship Final Qualifying course. The Open Championship has returned to Sandwich in 2011.
Within the immediate area of Sandwich there are 4 schools, Sandwich Infants for children aged 4 to 8, Sandwich Juniors for children from the ages of 8 to 11, and Sir Roger Manwood's School, for 11-18 and Sandwich Technology School, again, 11-18.
The town's connection with the snack of the same name is that John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who lived in the 18th century allegedly invented it. As the story goes, he was an avid gambler, and since he often did not have time to sit for a meal due to his gambling habits, he would order his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread. Because Montagu also happened to be the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, others[who?] began to order "the same as Sandwich!" [45] However, the exact circumstances of the invention are still the subject of debate. A rumour in a contemporary travel book called Tour to London (although not confirmed) by Pierre Jean Grosley formed the popular myth that bread and meat sustained Lord Sandwich at the gambling table.[46] The sober alternative is provided by Sandwich's biographer, N. A. M. Rodger, who suggests Sandwich's commitments to the navy, to politics and the arts mean the first sandwich was more likely to have been consumed at his desk.[47]
The town of Sandwich has an annual festival period towards the end of August[48] where a number of events are staged. During Sandwich festivals of the past there have been European markets, motorcycle meets, illuminated boat parade or dressed ship parade on The Quay, a street Barn Dance, various concerts (both classical and modern pop/rock), Simultaneous Chess Tournament with Grand Master John Emms and a vintage Car Show. The festival usually lasts for 8 days.
Sandwich has two paid-for newspapers, the Deal and Sandwich Express (published by Kent Regional News and Media) and the East Kent Mercury (published by the KM Group). Free newspapers for the town include the Dover Extra, part of the KM Group; and yoursandwich, part of KOS Media. Free digital only news is provided by SNOOZ.
The local radio station for Sandwich is KMFM Shepway and White Cliffs Country, although the town has good coverage of KMFM Thanet. Sandwich is also served by the county-wide stations Heart, Gold and BBC Radio Kent.Sandwich is also covered by Podcasting service Dover Community Radio [49] who cover Dover District with local podcasts on their website. They hope to create a district-wide internet based radio station in the future leading to a community licence. Academy FM Thanet can also be well received in the Sandwich area.
There is a nearby hamlet to the south called Ham. A fingerpost some miles away in the village of Worth points towards both Ham and Sandwich, thus reading:"Ham Sandwich.".

You guys have done a great job of updating and keeping up with bug fixes and things like that. I appreciate the commitment it shows to the platform rather than some apps that feel more like they only sometimes get around to looking at their playbook app, if ever.
I like the smooth transitions when swiping an open tweet thread or profile closed, it shows a lot of polish. I don't have any major concerns that I can think of. I would like it if tapping on the "new mentions" on the Playbook notification bar switched to Blaq, though I am not sure if that is a limitation of the current OS or not. Another nice option would be the ability to open a tweet in the browser.
Thanks for your hard work, Blaq is my irreplaceable app on the playbook. - 05-23-12, 02:19 AM #4
Nothing here. Most of the "issues" have been fixed with the constant updates(thanks).
I've had this since the beginning, bought it and won it..

No issues but I would like to see thumbnails in the timeline.
The Blaq app is awesome and the one I usually show off to people when they want to see my Playbook. It has the most eye candy. I can't wait for the first version built with Cascades!

I like using Blaq too.
I like the way it stays open and automatically shows new Tweets rather than constantly having to refresh, but dislike the way it flashes a white LED when you navigate away to show there are new tweets - I mean, its Twitter, there's obviously going to be new Tweets! If there was a way to turn this LED off...(9000 > 9800 > 9360 > 9900 > Z10 + PlayBook + shares) - 05-23-12, 04:45 AM #7
Ability to link to Facebook please.., so tweets are automatically (by option) posted as Facebook status...
I love it.
Only thing I'd have is to have retweets numbered rather than listed. I'm referring to proper retweets not things like "RT". Right now when I go to my Blaq "@" page if I get retweeted a lot I have a long long list of the same thing for every individual that has retweeted me. So it'd be great if, like twitter's web service, if it gave a number or something for every time that tweet has been retweeted rather than showing each and every retweet.
I'd like different themes too.
That's all I can think of but it's a wonderful product. Thank you. - 05-23-12, 07:13 AM #10
Great app, and my go to for twitter - thanks indeed J!
One little thing I've found with latest release is that sometimes when I hit refresh I get about 4 copies of every tweet listed, so I've started closing the app and re-opening. It may be user error - feel free to tell me I'm a moose!
Clicking on a tweet is great - pops up on the left for easy viewing. If there is an '@' mention, it would be great to tap that and have the profile of the '@'ed person show up to follow
Thanks also for engaging!

Sometimes when I try to view someone's tweets or profile I cannot because it's unresponsive. All other commands seem to always work.
I waited...It launched...Im still waiting... - 05-23-12, 08:01 AM #12
I am relatively new to Blaq. It's a sharp looking app, is quick. Trying to get used to the setup has taken some time but only because I don't use Twitter as much as i used to.
I'm used to uber on my bb, so like to see a lot of tweets at a time, not just 4 tweets on the screen-Blaq has me scrolling up and down to see tweets I've just had time to glimpse. Any way to change that? Couldn't find a way. I also tried to tweet someone by using @name, but my follower list didn't load. But like i said i am used to uber, or maybe i just haven't played with Blaq enough to figure things out. -
I would second the thumbnail view for pics. I like that I can click the tweet and it slides open to show the pic, but a thumbnail view would be awesome, just for those times when you want to preview the pic before opening it.

I would love a nice smooth refresh animation on the refresh button. Right now it just does a little glitchy flash of the navigation bar. This is the only area that Blaq lacks polish. Or just add pull to refresh.
Blaq is really nice though. - 05-23-12, 11:31 AM #16
first congrats on the best twitter client on the playbook !!
the only bug bearer for me and i think its a limitation of the OS is notifications once the app is shut down, a bit like T4BB on the smartphones.
other than that congrats again.

Generally I am happy with Blaq but here are some fixes and improvements which should be implemented (in my opinion):
1. Fix for tweet staying at last read tweet. Even though it does now, but when I am at the newest (top) tweet (showing 'Moments ago'), and when new tweets come in, it jumps to the top again without staying at the last read tweet.
2. Fix for URLs in tweet. When there is a long URL which isn't shortened, e.g.Code:http://forums.crackberry.com/playbook-apps-games-f243/blaq-playbook-725778/
It is fine but when I click to open it in browser, it opens the ... malformed link.
3. Hopefully there is Instapaper/Read It Later support in the future - 05-23-12, 01:33 PM #18
I have just bought this app, must admit it's quite well designed with a nice looking UI.

Being a person who has used Blaq for quite a while and following JCarty on twitter, actually getting to conversate with him, I'd say Ive been very happy with Blaq. I know that he is working to fix the bugs the app has and eventually add new features, so therefore I have no complaints at all, only suggestions.
Thumbnails would be nice, swipe down to refresh could be an added bonus. Certain things like seeing other peoples tweets, or going to their page would be nice, I know you can see their tweets but don't think you can pick any of the tweets and reply to them, maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I'm just glad to see some developers like yourself work on your app as hard as you do and it shows. Even with the specific things missing in the Blaq twitter client, I'd still stay it is my favorite and by far the nicest looking twitter client.[B]32GB Playbook + iPhone4 < Bold 9900 < Bold 9700 < Storm2 9550 < Tour 9630 < Pearl 8100

This is the best Twitter app I have used so far. Now I am not the greatest twitter user, but I do enjoy reading the various tweets. The UI is very nice along with the sliding animations.
There are two things I noticed. One is I cannot see if a user is verified or not. The second is I have issues seeing pictures posted by twitter. It wants to open the browser to view them, which i then have to log in. All the other pictures open in Blaq fine.Sent from my Blackberry Z30/Playbook - 05-24-12, 04:20 PM Thread Author #21
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll try to address each one I can comment on.
This is a limitation of the current OS. Only built-in apps and Android apps have the ability to open the app from a notification (weird, right?)
You can turn off the new tweets LED in the options. Swipe down from the top bezel then tap the gear to your right. Then go into notifications.
Sound is coming. We need come up with something that isn't annoying. Stay tuned for thumbnails
I've confirmed this is a bug when real-time streaming is turned off. If the glow at the bottom right is off, just tap it to turn it on and tweets *shouldn't* duplicate. If they do, let me know.
Is it tweets and profile or just their profile? How are you getting to it?
Try changing the font size to fit more tweets on the screen. Also, portrait tends to show more tweets than landscape.
Understood. See above
There are plans to expand the help screen. Right now, it's pretty sparse and that is my fault. I placed priority on getting things working over the documentation.
I have plans to do something with the refresh button so stay tuned for that, as well.
Again, thanks for all the feedback! - 05-24-12, 04:26 PM Thread Author #22
1) It should. Will have a look at it.
2) This is a confirmed bug for links opening in the browser
3) It's on the list.
Yeah, unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it until BlackBerry 10.
In 1.8+, you can tap on the tweet and do anything with it (retweet, reply, etc) and thanks!
1) Big omission. I've added it to the list.
2) Will have a look. You are on the latest (1.8.1)? - 05-24-12, 05:43 PM Thread Author #24
Great app! Thanks for keeping it updated as well. Wanted portrait search, and it came quickly. Recent versions have really felt buttery smooth scrolling the timeline, while it was a touch choppy/slow in older versions by comparison - so that has been a great recent change as well.
1.) I've noticed while bridged that when Blaq is open, the Browser (or other Bridge apps) has a tendency to go into refreshing/flashing white screen (of death). Is there any kind of bandwidth competition across Bridge data that may be causing this or am I crazy?
2.) It would be more intuitive to have some kind of visual feedback on touches involving 'tweets' on a user's profile and other UI elements that otherwise appear to be static & non-interactive. Glowing, highlighting, font size change, whatever... -

This sculpture from Tianlongshan (Heavenly Dragon Mountain) exemplifies the aesthetic ideal of the Tang dynasty (A.D. 618–907). With its fleshy modeling and voluptuousness, it reveals a naturalism that may be influenced by the artistic styles of contemporaneous India. The drapery is integrated with the structure of the figure in a naturalistic way, and though fragmentary, the piece displays the graceful linear geometry characteristic of the Tang visual vocabulary. Carved in high relief in a finely grained white stone, the figure wears a royal costume whose folds of drapery emphasize the torso and define the body's rounded form. The pectoral ornament and long scarf are typical Tang elements in Buddhist sculpture, accentuated by traces of red-brown color.
Catalogue Description:
The object is a stone sculpture depicting a standing figure of a bodhisattva. The sculpture is carved in high relief (the reverse and the back edge of the sides of the sculpture are uncarved). The sculpture is leaning slightly towards the proper right with the proper right arm down and the proper left arm raised at the elbow. The figure is partially draped with fabric.
A white ground layer exists over much of the front surface of the sculpture. Traces of pigment, red, brown, blue and black, are noticeable on the front of the sculpture.
Condition: The object is in poor condition. Problems include loose joints, an unstable mount, flaking pigment and an overall friable stone surface.

Western Union Offers Zero Transfer Fee Coupon From The U.S. To Philippines To Encourage Consumer Giving To Support Filipinos Affected By Flooding
In response to the catastrophic flooding caused by tropical storm Maring in the Philippines, The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU), a leader in global payment services, is offering a coupon code for a fee free 1 money transfer to help Filipino flood victims.
To further help people contribute to relief efforts, Western Union is implementing a 'zero transfer fee' coupon that can be used for all money transfers sent from the United States to the Philippines through participating Agent locations, westernunion.com, and the company's mobile app beginning Monday, Aug. 26 through Friday, Aug. 30, 2013.

Money is available in cash for pick up in minutes 2 at any of the more than 8,300 Agent locations in the Philippines, or can be sent directly to a Philippine bank account by initiating a Western Union ® Direct-to-Bank money transfer.
Severe tropical storm Maring brought torrential rains to the country, displacing over one million Filipinos. Although never making landfall, immediate relief was difficult to manage due to the flooding caused by the southwest monsoon. Almost 80 percent of Metro Manila, Central and Northern Luzon are estimated to have been submerged by floodwaters 3.

US Drug Watchdog Now Urges All DePuy Pinnacle Hip Implant Recipients To Call Them For The Name Of Specific Blood Test That Will Determine If This Metal Implant Has Failed
The US Drug Watchdog says, "We want to make certain that every recipient of a DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant gets a specific blood test to see if their hip implant device has failed, and we would like to give the recipient some simple instructions." For more information about a blood test designed to measure cobalt, and chromium levels in a DePuy Pinnacle hip implant recipient's blood stream please call the US Drug watchdog at 866-714-6466. http://USDrugWatchdog.com
(PRWEB) July 03, 2013
The US Drug Watchdog says, "We are on a mission to make certain every recipient of a DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant gets a very simple blood test that has been designed to measure cobalt, and chromium levels in their blood stream, and we are urging recipients of this specific hip implant device to call us, so we can give them very simple instructions about the blood test. We believe elevated of cobalt, and chromium are the best ways to determine a metal on metal hip implant failure." The DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant is now subject to national litigation, and the group fears if DePuy Pinnacle hip implant recipients that have suffered a failure are not identified by the court in time, many recipients of a failed device will get stuck with the bill. The group is strongly encouraging family members or loved ones of anyone receiving a hip implant between 2002 and 2010 to ask if it was a DePuy Pinnacle hip implant? If the answer is yes, please have the family member, loved one, or friend call the US Drug watchdog at 866-714-6466 immediatly.
The US Drug Watchdog says, "Symptoms of a DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant failure include:
- Pain in the Hip Region
- Problems While Walking or The Inability to Walk
- Swelling of the Hip
- General Discomfort
- Lack of Flexibility
- Elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in the hip implant recipients blood."
The US Drug Watchdog is the premier medical device, and pharmaceutical watchdog in the United States. The group says, "We want to make certain all DePuy Pinnacle hip implant recipients get a blood test to determine if their hip implant has failed. In the event the blood test indicates elevated levels of cobalt, and chromium we will get the recipient to national caliber law firms that have a superior record in representing their clients in these types of national lawsuits, involving possibly significant financial compensation." For more information about the DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant, and a critical blood test please contact the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466. http://USDrugWatchdog.com

From Canada down to Georgia, one of the loveliest signs of spring is the trillium. There are dozens of species native to North America. Some of them, like the Trillium Grandiflora, produce big, white flowers, while others, such as the Sweet Wakerobin, are a deep maroon. Though they're less common than they used to be, due to the clearcutting of forests and collectors, you still see them along forest paths and shady, undisturbed areas. With a little patience, you can create a beautiful stand of trilliums under your trees.
Your best bet for growing trilliums is to order rhizomes online from a reputable nursery. Trilliums take two years to grow from seed, and bare-root or potted plants sometimes don't transfer well. The rhizomes are easy to plant. Just be sure to order Trilliums that fit your region (for instance, Sweet Wakerobins don't grow in the Northeast). That way, you'll have plants that will thrive in local conditions.
Trilliums like the dappled sun that shines through new leaves on big trees. After all, they're forest-floor flowers. So planting your trilliums under a tree will make them feel at home. Being careful not to damage any tree roots, work in some organic amendments, such as Miracle-Gro® Organic Choice® Garden Soil, into your planting area. Loosen up the soil to a depth of about 6 inches. Dig holes about 2-4 inches deep and place your rhizome with the "eye" facing up. Cover up the rhizome, water thoroughly, and tamp down the soil. Cover them with a few inches of mulch, and you're all set.
Your trilliums will overwinter and then sprout in the spring. Be patient, though, because they won't bloom until the following year. On the plus side, once they're established, you won't have to baby them. Just water them when the area seems dry. They'll give you a lovely groundcover and years of spring blooms.

What the Starks injury means
What the Starks injury means
Let the scrambling begin. http://nflfromthesidelines.blogspot.com With NFL.com reporting that Max Starks will be out a month with a high ankle sprain, the Steelers took a big hit on their offensive line. Starks' injury leaves the Steelers without both players scheduled to be their starting offensive tackles coming out of mini-camp. Right tackle Willie Colon was lost prior to the opening of training camp with an Achilles' tendon tear. The injury to Starks leaves the team with Jonathan Scott, who replaced Starks Sunday, Flozell Adams, signed to replace Colon, and Tony Hills as the only healthy tackles on the roster. Starting right guard Trai Essex has also played tackle during his career, while second-year player Ramon Foster has lined up at right tackle in preseason games. The early favorite to replace Starks in the next three games - the Steelers have a bye week in Week 5 - will be Hills. He made big improvements during training camp this summer to make a push to earn a spot on the roster. One emergency option for the Steelers would be to re-sign former starting center Justin Hartwig who visited the Cincinnati Bengals Monday. That would allow the team to move Essex to left tackle, slide Maurkice Pouncey to right guard and insert Hartwig at center. But that would be tearing up the entire line, so the first option will be using Scott or Hills. posted by Dale Lolley at 5:39 PM 15 Comments Links to this post |

Re: What the Starks injury means
If they wanted to move Essex to LT, they would just insert Foster at RG...please. If that's the case, Hills doesn't belong on this team. |

"I'm blown away by Tracey's expertise, poise, fabulous spirit and competence at such a tender age; I know people twice her age who are not even half as impressive." -Beth C.
"Tracey was one of my teacher trainers in 2012. She was absolutely wonderful! Her instructions were clear and concise, she knew her stuff and it was easy to see that she was quite passionate. I appreciated her emphasis with regard to safety. She is by far one of the best yoga teachers that I've ever had, and I look forward to having the pleasure of working with her in the future." -Leslie M.
"Tracey is a wonderful teacher, an inspiration and a role model. I've had the good fortune to train with her twice. She is gifted at explaining concepts clearly, simply and in a way that you don't forget. I've lost count of the times when something I've struggled with makes sense after a talk with her – and she always finds the time to help. She is articulate, compassionate, wickedly funny and never, ever lets you get away with doing less than your best.
Every class I teach has a little bit of Tracey in it somewhere!" – Shan G.
"I am grateful that I had the opportunity to have Tracey as a teacher in my Yoga Teacher Training. I first met Tracey in one of her yoga classes about a year prior to the 200hr YTT …she is so graceful in her flow….articulates herself well….her voice comforting…her encouragement welcoming and she always makes herself available to her students.
Having Tracey on the team of teachers for YTT was amazing because she has so much experience and expresses herself and beliefs without making anyone feel judged or uncomfortable. She has inspired me to deepen my meditation practice for personal growth which in turn has helped me to inspire others!! Because of Tracey I also tried teaching chair yoga…and loved it!! Teaching yoga is an incredible feeling…teaching yoga to seniors or people with restrictions that thought they would never be able to do yoga is heart warming and fulfilling. Thank you Tracey…for your guidance…knowledge and support<3″ -Julie D.

Organisers of the Hockey India League (HIL) can heave a sigh of relief as the recent acrimony between India and Pakistan over Line of Control violations has not affected the visa prospects of the Pakistani players.
The nine players from Pakistan selected for different teams in the HIL — beginning on January 14 — were issued visas on Thursday. In fact, the visas were issued on short notice as their applications were received only this week.
The nine players headed for India are: Muhammad Irfan and Shafaq Rasool for Ranchi Rhinos; Kashif Shah for Punjab Warriors; Fareed Ahmed, Mohammad Tausiq, Mahmood Rashid and Imran Butt for Mumbai Magicians; and Muhammad Rizwan (Jr) and Muhammad Rizwan (Sr) for Delhi Waveriders.

Make a difference and head to the polls
We don't want to hear any of that "My vote wouldn't make a difference" nonsense. This election, especially, your vote does matter. For one, the May 13 election will decide three seats on the Jefferson County Board of Education – potentially putting a new majority in place on the nonpartisan body that steers our school system.
The race for Congress also is key, with Republican voters set to decide whether a Charles Town resident recently settled here from Maryland should move forward to the November vote and the chance to begin representing West Virginia come January.
The early voting option continues daily through Saturday at the Jefferson County Courthouse and offers a quick, easy way to make your voice heard in the democratic process. Questions? Call the county elections office at 304-725-3215.
In too many recent election cycles, the dismal turnout at the polls all across the Mountain State – with a mere fraction of those eligible bothering to take part – has given West Virginia another (self-inflicted) black eye. We implore voters in the Eastern Panhandle to reject apathy and go to the polls now or May 13. Urge friends and family to do the same. There's too much to be decided in the months and years ahead to opt out of the process.

Bonds formed between humans and dogs can be made incredibly strong when the relationship is formed early on, but it's very important that our children be taught how to interact safely and responsibly with their canine companions.

Heel lift question
I bought a new pair of boots, Van Encore with boa lacing, and it fits pretty well. However, when I push my toes up, my heel lifts off the boot a little bit. It lifts a bit when I walk also, but when I lean forward (similar to falling on knees motion), they don't lift. Would that be considered heel lift?

The boot might fit snug in the store but that's what you want not a bigger size.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowIt's just as the name implies: The ribs and chicken are smoked first, then barbecued with sweet, tangy, homemade sauce. Baby-back ribs are especially succulent. Even the barbecued beans and roasted corn in the husk are smokin' good. The restaurant is self-serve, seat-yourself, and the casual nature of the place is complemented by an artistically rendered, Western-style dining room. A great place to linger with a slice of house-baked pecan or key lime pie for dessert. Outdoor seating.
