Next to morality, The John Birch Society believes that education is the most important element of a free society. It is imperative that we see to it that the voice of parents in their children's education remains free and unabridged by government usurping, if liberty is to prosper. For it is only through education can there be a well-informed populous. With the help of God, education is the key to a better world. As Robert Welch, Founder of the John Birch Society, noted, "Education is our total strategy and truth is our only weapon."

Thursday's weather for Duluth and the Northland: Chances of light snow persist
High pressure to our north will continue to funnel in easterly flow today. My concern is that low-level moisture forced up the hill in the Twin Ports could lead to some very light lake-enhanced snow. Everyone else will have plenty of sun. Highs will be in the low 20s.By: Adam Clark, Northland's NewsCenter

WEST CARTHAGE The Champion Town Council will have a public hearing on its proposed 2014 budget at 7:15 p.m. today at the town offices, 10 N. Broad St.
The $2,697,589 plan includes $1,016,099 to be raised by property taxes. This years $3,479,612 budget had a tax levy of $994,709.
The proposed tax rate for the fiscal year beginning Jan. 1 is $2.80 per $1,000 of assessed property value, 5 cents lower than this years $2.85 rate.
Were down a nickel due to the growth in the town and fiscal responsibility, said Supervisor Terry L. Buckley. Weve budgeted more in the general fund and less in the highway, but more sales tax will go into the highway department and less in general. More money for the infrastructure allows us to get the roads in shape yet enables us to lower the tax rate.
Salaries for village employees would be: supervisor, $17,000; four council members, $4,400 each; town clerk/tax collector, $33,800; and highway superintendent, $48,500.

I just wanted to write a quick note to express my relief that my family and I are finally lice free. It took almost three months of shampooing with pesticides that did nothing to rid us of the lice problem. Even with repeated combings. However, your method of removal and follow up have done the trick. Thank you once again for informing me of a safe, non-toxic way to remove and be rid of lice and nits, and to be free of them forever.

Mark Hamill: Lucasfilm's "Talking to us"
Posted By Eric on February 20, 2013
Entertainment Tonight
spoke to Mark Hamill
about his latest projects, including the movie
Sushi Girl
, and the conversation naturally turned to
Star Wars
Episode VII.
First off, will he appear in Star Wars VII?
"They're talking to us," he reveals. "George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested.
He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts � they would write us out. � I can tell you right away that we haven't signed any contracts.
We're in the stage where they want us to go in and meet with Michael Arndt, who is the writer, and Kathleen Kennedy, who is going to run Lucasfilm.
Both have had meetings set that were postponed -- on their end, not mine. They're more busy than I am."
Hamill also expressed an interest in reuniting with the rest of the Original Trilogy stars for the project. "[A]nother thing I'd want to make sure of is are we going to have the whole gang back?" he said. "Is Carrie and Harrison and Billy Dee and Tony Daniels, everybody that's around from the original [returning]? I want to make sure that everybody's on board here, rather than just one."

RESTORING the FUTURE
Published on Wed, Jul 29, 2009 by
Matthew Nash
Read More
Robert Couch has begun a new project - restoring his life - much like he restored handmade classic cars.
Couch survived treatment for an aggressive brain cancer, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, that was diagnosed three years ago.
The illness caused him to give up his work as "the premiere Morgan sports car restorer in America," which is how many car experts described him. Morgan Motor Company is a family-owned British business established in 1909 that handmakes about 500 cars annually.
Couch's restoration work orders were set for years and he never had to advertise.
"It was six years of work out the door," he said.
"I turned down three separate jobs worth at least $80,000 each."
Now, forced to abandon the work he had a passion for because of fatigue and to qualify for assistance to pay medical bills, Couch lives off savings, Social Security and disability assistance.
Couch has a tattooed peace sign on his left hand from what he calls his "hippie days."
As he rubs his head to sooth the healing nerve endings, it flashes like a memory.
"I'm 58, going on about 40," he said, about his health.
Doctors at the University of Washington removed a fist-sized tumor from behind his eye.
A dozen brain scans later, he remains cancer-free.
"I feel the good Lord has carried
me through this. If I didn't have faith in God, I would go crazy."
He has been a Christian for 10
years and through surviving cancer, Couch affirms he wasn't scared.
"I never thought about dying. Someone once asked me what it was like to look death in the face. I told them 'I never took my eyes off the face of hope.'"
Couch said he knew he was going to live because he heard God say, "I'm not through with you."
Morgan beginnings
Couch's bloodline might be filled with motor oil.
He was born into a family of car enthusiasts and his grandfather owned a Chrysler and Saab dealership in Connecticut, where Couch worked as he grew up.
After he graduated from high school, he spent a year in the Air Force before he was medically discharged for bad knees.
He then left with friend Phil Rosette on the first of many trips to England to work on Formula 3 race cars. Bad economic times brought dropped race car sponsorships, a decline in his car import business and failure of his grandfather's dealership.
After that string of bad luck, he met Jack Artley, a rare car collector who hired him to do detailing.
On a later trip to England he found his life's work - a Morgan car parked behind a pub.
Couch bought himself a Morgan to restore, a 1937 Morgan TT nicknamed CAB652 after its license plate.
"I became a woodworker, mechanic and a painter because of that car," he said.
Restored, CAB652 became nationally known with collectors and enthusiasts as it won awards at every competition.
Couch restored two more Morgans in the next few years and became known as one of, if not the best, Morgan re-storer in the United States.
In addition to restoring, he became a Morgan parts dealer, the only one in America for years.
But he, and his then-wife Sidney wanted a change.
He sold the parts business and they moved to Sequim in 1997 from Millerton, N.Y., to be closer to her parents. He continued to work on cars from his garage-centered home, and his workload remained full until the cancer.
Couch centered himself with hope and faith but he realized he couldn't continue doing restorations.
"In my 20s, I had a burning passion for cars. Now, it's pretty much gone. It was a bittersweet love."
New directions
Even with a clean bill of health, Couch struggles with low energy levels and staying focused so he's found new avenues to explore and inspire himself.
A love of computers led him to create the first parts manual for Morgans on the Web at www.morgan-spares.com.
He also created www.themorganshop.com to focus on his 32 years as a Morgan
restorer. The site hosts his autobiographical journey toward working on the sports cars. Couch sent a copy to TV personality Jay Leno, who called him to speak about cars.
But the future for Couch isn't in the Morgan shell sitting in his garage, a 1959 Morgan 4/4 series 2 that he's not going to restore.
Cancer forced him to get out from under a car, Couch said, and re-evaluate how he can share hope.
Relay for Life
His next big rally is the 24-hour Relay for Life sponsored by the American Cancer Society.
He will hold a Survivors' Camp throughout the relay from noon Saturday, Aug. 1, to 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 2, at the Sequim School District athletic field.
He hopes to meet with fellow survivors and discuss their ways of overcoming cancer while being strong support for one another.
Couch also will join in the "Celebrate Life" dance lap at 5:30 p.m., in which anyone is allowed to participate.
Survivors' stories
"As survivors, we all have a story to tell. I hope we can get together and share stories and encourage one another."
Couch coordinates transportation for local residents to see cancer specialists in the Seattle area through the ACS.
Missionaries who discovered his survivor story online have invited him to speak. He plans to visit them as soon as possible while touring the continent sharing his story of faith.
"I've got enough hope," he said, "for the whole world."

HIV Patients at Heightened Risk for Certain Cancers
Starting drug therapy earlier might reduce that risk, study says
TUESDAY, Nov. 22 (HealthDay News) -- A weakened immune system and unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking put HIV-infected patients at increased risk for cancer, according to a new study.
The researchers also said that starting antiretroviral therapy at an earlier stage of HIV infection might reduce cancer risk.
The primary goal of the study, one of the first to compare the risk of cancer in HIV-infected patients, was to determine how much of the increased risk was the result of the disease and how much was due to other risk factors, such as smoking, the researchers said.
The study authors compared the rates of 10 types of cancer that occurred among HIV-infected patients and HIV-free patients from Kaiser Permanente in Northern and Southern California between 1996 and 2008.
Six of the cancers were more common in HIV patients than in HIV-free patients, including Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, melanoma, anal cancer and liver cancer. Lung and oral-cavity cancers were also more common among HIV patients, but most of the risk of those cancers appeared to be associated with lifestyle habits such as smoking.
Prostate cancer was less common in HIV patients than in HIV-free patients.
Further investigation suggested that a weakened immune system was associated with the increased risk of cancer in HIV patients.
"Taken together, we believe our results support cancer-prevention strategies that combine routine prevention activities, such as smoking cessation, with earlier HIV treatment to help maintain a patient's immune system," lead author Michael Silverberg, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, said in a Kaiser news release.
The study appears in the current issue of the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention.

Bye bye, Buccaneers
Published on Wed, Oct 13, 2010
Read More
Just like old times.
For three quarters, this looked like an Olympic League prep football showdown pitting equally talented teams vying for a shot at a league title.
For a 14-minute span late in the first half, however,
Sequim's offense, defense and special teams unleashed a fury that overwhelmed Kingston's Buccaneers and turned an early 7-0 Bucs lead into a 56-28 Wolves win.
Beginning with Tyler Forshaw's 90-yard kickoff return and capped by Frank Catelli's fumble recovery in the end zone, Sequim scored six touchdowns in just eight plays during that first half stretch, turning this key league contest into a rout.
The Wolves got two scores each from defense and special teams, plus three passing touchdowns and a rushing TD.
"It was our playmakers stepping up," Sequim coach Erik Wiker said, following a victory win that keeps Sequim undefeated in league play (4-0, 5-1 overall) heading into next Friday's Homecoming game against Olympic.
"I wish I could plan it that way every week," he said.
For much of the first quarter and second half, the Buccaneers looked up to the task of taking on the defending Olympic League champs. But a spate of turnovers and quick Sequim scores were reminiscent of the teams' three previous match-ups, with Sequim outscoring Kingston 156-13 collectively in those games.
"This (Kingston squad) is a far better team," Wiker said of the Bucs (2-2 in league, 3-3 overall), now a four-year program seeking its first winning season.
"We had much respect for them. (The win) was just our kids playing tough."
Sequim quarterback Drew Rickerson finished 18-of-32, passing for 205 yards and three touchdowns.
Teammate Isaac Yama-
moto added 77 rushing yards and score, a touchdown catch, and interception for a six points and a fumble recovery.
The Wolves effectively shut down Kingston's running game and, in particular, running back Lou Hecker, the region's top yardage leader heading into week six.
Hecker had 67 yards on 20 carries and didn't break a run longer than 11 yards.
"Our backers just really plugged the holes," Sequim defensive lineman Frank Catelli said.
"This definitely felt like a championship game," he said.
Bucs take an early lead
Kingston came out punching. Five plays after forcing a Sequim fumble deep into Bucs territory, Kingston quarterback Sam Byers found Stephen Gorman for a 69-yard touchdown pass (Gorman was injured on the play and didn't return).
But Sequim responded immediately, opening a huge lane for kick returner Tyler Forshaw, who motored through the crowd and gave an ankle-breaking juke at midfield for a 90-yard touchdown run. The point-after failed, keeping Kingston ahead, 7-6.
Sequim's defense got to Byers on the next possession to force a fumble and Rickerson found Chase Bigger on the very next play from 26 yards out. Sequim led 14-7.
After forcing a Kingston punt, Sequim scored early in the second quarter on a one-play drive, as Rickerson found Forshaw for a 45-yard catch-and-run and 21-7 lead.
Sequim defensive back Joey Hall jumped all over the next play from scrimmage, reading Byers' pass in the flat for a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown and 28-7 Sequim lead.
The Wolves forced another Kingston punt and took possession on the Bucs' 40-yard-line. Three plays later, Yamamoto motored in from 22 yards away for a 35-7 Sequim advantage.
Frank Catelli capped the barrage by recovering a Kingston fumble on the ensuing kickoff and Mitch Koonz's extra point made it 42-7.
Byers helped Kingston close the gap to 42-14 just before halftime with a 44-yard touchdown toss to tight end George Marinan from 44 yards out.
Sequim pushed the lead to 49-14 on the first play of the fourth quarter, a 16-yard pass from Rickerson to Yamamoto.
Byers and Marinan connected again three minutes later, this time from 19 yards out. But it was Yamamoto putting an emphatic Sequim stamp on the game, picking off a Byers pass with two minutes left for a 28-yard touchdown.
Byers finished 12-of-22 for 234 yards, three touchdowns and the two interceptions.
Sequim's Forshaw had 78 yards receiving. Koonz was a perfect 6-for-6 with extra point tries.
is coming
Sequim looks to break a long-forgotten but ominous streak when they take on Olympic, a former 3A school that dropped down into the 2A classification along with half of the Olympic League before the season.
The Trojans are 11-1 all-time against the Wolves, including a 10-game winning streak.
The teams haven't played each other since 1990, when Olympic topped the Phil Langston-coached Wolves 41-14. Sequim's lone victory against the Silverdale-based Trojans was in 1979.
Olympic (1-3, 1-5) is coming off a 19-3 win against North Kitsap.
Following that game,
Sequim hosts North Kitsap on Oct. 22. Looming is an Oct. 29 date at undefeated rival Port Angeles.
Catelli said that, despite the cross-peninsula rivalry and possible league title-deciding game against the Roughriders, the Wolves are - to coin that old sports cliché - taking it one game at a time.
"We've got to focus on the task at hand," he said.
"(But) I'm looking for-
ward to that game, definitely."

How do you check your frame in HGSS prior to defeating the Pokemon League. I ask this because I am trying to RNG a Ho-oh in HG, and it is required that you catch him before going to the E4.
You can just knock it out, and come back to it later on (all legendaries will "regenerate", so to speak, after battling the Elite 4).
Yeah, assuming you haven't captured them (note this only works from Platinum on). It also works for various stationary Pokémon in HGSS like Snorlax, and Gyarados.

No, just regular 5th gen wondercard.
I hate how people covet events and treat them as if they have value, so I make all my events free to everyone. Don't be a jerk and treat them as if they have value by adding them to your thread. Random female DW Pokémon - please use these for breeding purposes only.
GLAN wondercards are only for Pokemon with a set gender, but any possible nature, hence the name.
I see thanks for the information Im still sort of confused with wondercard RNG iv gotten these results Capture2JPG.jpg. Somehow i think im doing something completely wrong, do i still go ahead and advance the frames by 2? (148-146) Thanks for the help guys, still new to this rng thing
You would need to do 91 advancements (146-54 -1). Your starting frame is the 54 the main window tells you, and that is the frame the RNG will return first if you do no advancements. Since you want frame 146, you need to advance the RNG to frame 145 (generating the pokemon also advances the PIDRNG by 1). So, just do 91 chatters, and if you are a few frames off, adjust and try again. Also, never forget the obnoxious Timer0 fluctuation in B/W2, so don't be to discouraged if you do not get the right pokemon right away.

After a long break and plenty of Timer0 issues back in October/November I tried RNG'ing the event Genesect agan on Saturday and was successful with only small Timer0 issues! So I immediately took on the event Keldeo but the stupid Timer0 issues reared their ugly heads again until a new seed and today.
ANGFRYDONUT123: I have found from doing these RNGs that the target frame number you get in the Time Finder is the one you use and you use the initial frame that you get from the Main Screen. So my Keldeo had a target frame in the Time Finder of 70, but when I pasted the seed in to the main screen it said my target frame was 68. My initial frame was 54. So bearing in mind what I've just said I had to do (70-54) 16 advances.
When looking at adjacent frames I also had to change my number of advances from 14 to 16 to see what I was hitting.
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this or if it's just me. I'm using RNG Reporter 9.96.5 BETA

Hello again all! (If anyone at all remembers me, its certainly been a while.) Sorry to leave so abruptly last time some major stuff came up and then I just never returned to Pokemon after that. But I've just picked up White 2 and thought I'd come see what I had missed. So whats new in terms of RNGing for BW2, I couldn't see anything on the front post. Also is there anything I need to bear in mind before I RNG the Keldeo- I haven't done an event before. Figure I need a bit of practice on BW1 first to get back into things so hopefully post some results later!

And while I'm at it, what about for the Latis?

I read somewhere that there are 9 NPCs in Nacrene City, though I'm not sure about if it is true. From what I remember when I did Uxie, the offset was really high, probably up to 40 frames or even more.
As for the Latis, they are not much of a problem. There is only one NPC in the Dreamyard, so it is easy. My offset for Latios was only about 10 or so.
This feeling is taking me over, this feeling that I can't denyPokécheck

I won't give in to the sorrow, I will not rest till I've won
I'll make a brighter tomorrow and I'll leave you the world when I'm done
Seven for Uxie, one for Lati@s (and you can battle him to make stand still).
I just wanted to check a few things...
-If you have a pokemon on frame 683 then that is on frame 6 right? So I would need 5 pokemon in my party and walk 128 steps to get the IVs I wanted? I just wondered if the frames get rounded up or something strange like that. I'm still trying to RNG Cobalion btw on black.
-Also with the 128 steps thing, turning is counted as 2 steps right?
-Another thing, say your in a cave and a dust cloud appears does this advance the frame in anyway?

Holy crap I haven't been on here in forever!
@Fearless123 Start off with IVRNG then move on up to PIDRNG later once you get the hang of IV.
That's what I've been trying to do. While the seed says it's shiny I've only been attempting to get the IVs so far. I think I misunderstood the 128 steps thing though. I read somewhere that turning is the same as taking two steps when it comes to IVs, can someone verify this for me? I've been using repels to count the first 100 and then counting the next few ones myself.

Spiritual Sounds of Central Asia
Central Asia concert presented by UCLA LIVE
Friday, November 02, 2007
UCLA Royce Hall
Some of the world's most ancient and mysterious music and epic poetry comes to Royce Hall in a remarkable concert featuring 18 of Central Asia's greatest singers and musicians, many of them appearing in the U.S. for the first time. Performed against a backdrop of vibrant projected images, "Spiritual Sounds of Central Asia" includes artists from the volatile, mountain-ringed region of Asia bordered by Russia, Iran, China and Pakistan including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Kalmykia. Closed to the West for 70 years, this former Soviet controlled area has experienced a resurgence in ancient musical traditions since the fall of the Soviet Empire. Showcasing some of the most exotic musical traditions on the planet, the concert includes the legendary mugham singer Alim Qasimov and his virtuosic four-man ensemble, trance-inducing mystical songs by the seven-person Badakhshan Ensemble, and an illustration of Central Asian musical styles by the once taboo, all-female ensemble Bardic Divas. With supertitles for texted songs.Cost: $46, 36, 24 ($15 UCLA Students)

The good: The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8530 has 3G and GPS support, which the T-Mobile version did not. The compact smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 2-megapixel camera.
The bad: The smartphone feels a bit cheap in the hand and has a low-resolution screen. You can only save apps to the phone's main memory.

Really good first smartphone
by smoke_green on September 14, 2010
Pros: the design, wifi, decent display, call quality, app world, email, bbm and of course a GREAT keyboard
Cons: no camera flash, battery can drain quick when running multiple apps, and no mms on telus/koodo in Canada, some problems with txt when service is low
Summary: Overall this is a great smartphone. Ive had it for just over a month now, i bought it at first because i got an amazing deal on it, and i ...
Summary: Overall this is a great smartphone. Ive had it for just over a month now, i bought it at first because i got an amazing deal on it, and i dont regret my decision. I payed 50$ at futureshop, on a 150 koodo tab. The tab works out to be about a 1.5 year commitment, but with no early cancellation fees, and this phone is usually around 50$ on a 3 yr on other carriers in canada.
This phone is a great messaging device. It syncs up my facebook easily, and the apps works great. I LOVE the keyboard. The internet is decently quick, though as this is a cdma phone, it is not as fast as the bold, new curve, or especially iphone, but its still quiet fast. The battery is OK, i usually charge it at night, sometimes i dont have to, though other times, usually after using as a gps for a while, i need to plug it in for an hour during the day.
The app store is not on the same level as iphone or android in terms of variety, and sometimes speed. it ran nicely all the time on app store 1.0, but after upgrading to 2.0, i found about 40% of the time when not on wifi, even with full bars, nothing besides the apps on the home screen will load. Thats somewhat annoying, but i usually download most apps on wifi anyways, so its not that much of a problem. There are still a lot of apps available though.
My only beef with this phone is that when your trying to txt in low service (my house and work have horrible reception 80% of the time) your msg will sometimes fail. When this happens you get a message on your bb saying "mobile equipment status failed blah blah blah" I just resend the message, and it usually goes out the second time. BUT when you look at your convo, your sent msg will be in a "received" area of your convo, not sent. When this happens if you close your convo, you cant re open that thread, even once your person replies. you have to restart your phone to open, and sometimes, more often than not, just delete the whole thread to open it again. I have friends with the same BB and they all have that problem. so far the best solution i have found is to not close the convo if you see that happening. once the person replies, your good to go. in the mean time to get to the home screen or wherever your going you need to use the "switch applications".
My last little beef is more with the provider, Telus. they DO NOT SUPPORT MMS on cdma blackberrys. so you cant picture txt. i dont know why buts a fact. with hspda mainstream now, i dont see them changing that anytime either. keep in mind that Bell, Koodo, Solo, and virgin all use telus's towers, so its the same problem with all of them. of course you can still send images and i think videos, though ive never tried, through email and bbm, so your as long as the person your sending your picture too has a smart phone, your good.
But overall i love this smartphone, you can find it for low prices about now, and it is so worth it because this really is a simple, well made smart phone. -
Not what I expected.
by kitycake on September 14, 2010
Pros: Love the trackpad, lighter weight is nice to carry.
Cons: Seems cheaply made and not up to the standards of other BlackBerrys that I've had.
Summary: I came into this phone unexpectedly. My husband got my old 8330 when I upgraded to a Storm. He recently lost his 8330 and I replaced it via the insurance. ...
Summary: I came into this phone unexpectedly. My husband got my old 8330 when I upgraded to a Storm. He recently lost his 8330 and I replaced it via the insurance. He decided the next day, prior to the 8530s arrival, to go back to his basic LG flip phone. Since I'd already spent the money on his replacement phone and I was loathing my Storm, I activated it myself.
At first I was impressed with the lighter weight of the new Curve, the new trackpad over the old trackball, and the way the convenience buttons are more integrated into the phone's design. But not 24 hours later, I find myself very disappointed with this flimsy phone. It's entirely made of plastic, and seems to be the cheapest BB RIM has ever made. I mourn the loss of the flash for the camera that the Storm had. I can't comment on battery life yet as it's pretty new. The keyboard seems smaller than my previous Curve, and the drawback, the ONLY drawback, of the trackpad is it must remain clean or it doesn't work well. That means don't put lotion on your hands prior to picking up your BB or you'll find yourself cleaning both your hands and the trackball. The screen, menu button, escape key, call and end buttons are no longer actual "buttons" but plastic. I find myself worrying about cracking them with too much pressure. I haven't noticed a difference in call quality yet.
Another complaint about the phone, and it's just an annoyance really, is that for some reason all of my contacts are set to "custom" ringtone. I utilized the Backup Assistant from Verizon, and I don't know if that caused it, but after setting my ringtone under "Sounds>Normal Profile" that wasn't what I heard when my phone rang. For some reason all calls were coming in under "Classic". I spent a good chunk of time looking for a fix online, and somehow stumbled across setting the ringer under "Media" instead. Simply go to "Media", select the song or ringtone that you want, and then make sure you choose "All Active Profiles". Why this was necessary is beyond me, since no one was set to "Custom" at any time.
I'm looking forward to getting away from BlackBerry and getting an Android instead. This does not seem to be a great step forward for RIM. Rather, it seems like a giant leap backwards. -

Pros: there aren't any pros to it!
Cons: Horrible battery life, camera was grainy, no flash, the phone would heat up after only 30 minutes of charging it would get so hot you couldn't hold it. call quality sucked. wouldn't receive all of my messages. wifi was near impossible to set up.

Summary: Altogether this phone was a mess and a huge disappointment from blackberry. I went through three actual phones and two loaner phones(one didn't even make it out of the store) through us cellular. They offered to replace it. I absolutely loved my Curve 8330 but this 8530 made me completely steer away from getting another blackberry. i Really wish Blackberry wouldn't have cut so many corners because they just lost a customer that had the Crackberry syndrome.
Poor performance - Battery degraded after 5 months

Summary: The battery life is terrible. Even when making sure no extra apps are running. I turned off push services for a couple weeks and ran my phone as just that, a phone. It consistently drains itself in 24-26 hours, even when not using it.
My first phone paused and hanged quite frequently along with randomly rebooting. My second one doesn't randomly reboot, but still pauses and hangs briefly while in operation. Almost as if you are asking it to do too much.
Overall I love the Blackberry concept, and I love the features of this phone, but the crappy battery life makes it impossible for me to use any other features consistently for worry or fear I will drain the battery to much. -

Summary: To be honest, this is a very good phone. Though the blackberry bold is a better buy, I've been content with the Curve. I actually have mine on Virgin mobile which is a branch of sprint. However, The phone itself is nice. The trackpadd is responsive, the screen is bright and vivid, and the blackberry apps are very helpful. If you are a normal person, or if you own a small business, a blackberry curve is all you need. The Bold and the Tour are for big business people. But a blackberry is a blackberry all the same. Trackpads rule!!!!

Summary: Being my first SmartPhone, I was excited to get this Blackberry Curve. I like the size, the ease of use and the mouse pad vs. the little roller ball on some of the older models my friends have. It has a very good array of features, the screen is large and clear. The sound qulaity of the phone is pretty bad. I keep trying to turn the volume up but it already at max volume. THe life of the battery is way too short. After using it for only a couple of hours during the day, I left it on overnight and it was almost dead in the morning. Good thing I bought the car charger and have one in my house as well.

Summary: Good looks, good graphics and nice touch-pad, but short battery life, poor call audio, slow processor, unreliable internet interface, and email delays prove too costly if you are looking for a capable smartphone for business use. My previous model 8310 had much longer battery life and better Buletooth connections and the data seemed to load faster. Model 8530 may be okay for a casual user, but will not work if you rely on your phone for more than two hours of talk time.

Cons: Better camera with flash. Missing that from my previos blackberry.

Summary: I love my blackberry good phone to start with a smart, Im not an application guy and all the apps that I have work perfect like Pandora, Flixster and Google Maps. I also use Skype and works really clear and I'm able to do international phone calls without paying extra on my plan.
The only thing that i feel needs to improve is the camera quality and add the flash on. Everything else I love it.
And also their is no perfect phone outhere. Take care of any phone and it will work good for you. -
Not as good as other smartphones
by SasoriSoren on July 14, 2010
Pros: Call Quality, though not as good as some other phones, is better than most other phones, especially the iPhone and Droid Lineup
Keyboard is amazing and does not feel cheap compared to the Bold or TourCons: The rubber at the top and bottom feels cheap, leather would have been preferable. The plastic feels kind of cheap too.

Summary: The phone performs great and regardless of the lower-res screen does what you need it to do as a phone and as a blackberry. All the needed features exist. WiFi works great but is not necessary as the 3G is usually fast and dependable. The Apps are limited, but as this is a business centric phone the mass apps that Apple and Android have are kind of moot to the phones purpose. Facebook and Twitter exist and so do some games and internet radio apps. Aside that there isn't much more you need to have available, if you need that stuff at all.
The phone is sturdy and feels like it would survive a sizeable drop, but I suggest getting an OtterBox case for the phone regardless because these things are spendy to replace.

Strategy – CIP | ||
Some city residential streets have more traffic than others causing a variety of wear issues. Like other city streets, residential streets are inspected and assessed using a MicroPaver Pavement Management System. Various pavement distresses (type, severity and quantity) are used to determine a Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI is similar to a grade of 0 to 100 with 100 being the best. Streets in the PCI range of 0 to 55 are considered poor and are candidates for rehabilitation/reconstruction. View Ordinance Amending Street Design Standards View Presentation to City Council on Design Standards The funding mechanism for rehabilitation or reconstruction of local and residential streets has yet to be determined. However, the three options available are described below. The actual funding mechanism will be determined later as implementation of the Street Improvement Plan progresses. Possible funding options for rehabilitation or reconstruction of local and residential streets:Bond in PhasesBond street programs have been passed by voters in general referendums for three consecutive general elections illustrating the need for reconstruction/rehabilitation of City streets. Voter approved Bond 2012 included $55 million in street improvements. Assessment ProgramAssessments are a method of sharing the cost of improving local and residential streets between the adjacent property owners and the City. An ordinance already exists regarding street paving assessments and has been used for many years. If used, this program would be expanded. |

Zap2it On The Scene
'Twilight Eclipse': Taylor Lautner will keep his 'little jeans shorts'
When "Twilight: Eclipse" hottie Taylor Lautner was asked at the press junket on Saturday (June 12) what sentimental item -- prop, costume, etc -- he would keep when "The Twilight Saga" is complete, he didn't have to think very long.
"Probably be those little jeans shorts," he said, quickly and sarcastically about the shorts that he's worn in almost every scene of "New Moon" and "Eclipse." "A lot of memories," he added, patting his heart. "A lot of value. I'm gonna miss those shorts."
So what brand are the shorts? "I don't even know what they are!" he exclaimed. "They're just jeans that Jacob finds in the woods, man."
"But just because you said that, I am gonna look at that the next time I wear them," he said to the reporter, still laughing. "I am so curious now."
The Dish Rag is sure there are a few million fans who would kill for Taylor's little jeans shorts. Even unwashed! Make that especially unwashed.
Just two more movies to go, Taylor!

Wheels: Ted M. writes by e-mail:
"I am hoping you can help me with a problem that has stumped me, a local VW dealer's repair department, and my mechanic. I have a 2000 VW Passat (1.8L Turbo 4-cylinder with 5-speed manual transmission) that has the engine check light come on every time I start the car and after I reach 20 MPH or so, the 'Emissions Workshop' warning pops up. Both the dealer and my mechanic ran some diagnostics and the only error code that pops up is P1128. The dealer, my mechanic and I have tried various solutions to fix the problem — new gas cap, checking the air screen in the air box, checking the air filter cartridge, doing a smoke test for a vacuum leak, checking the mass air flow sensor, replacing two O2 sensors (near the engine and near the catalytic converter), and looking for an exhaust leak. After trying a fix and resetting the error codes, the check light stays off for a day or two then comes back on again. This has been going on for over a year. The car appears to run fine. The only real symptom we've noticed was some white residue around a replaced O2 sensor—my mechanic thinks that comes from the engine running lean but could not find a cause. Any suggestions would be appreciated."
Halderman: Thanks for writing. This code means that the exhaust is too lean for too long. The main sensor that determines the air-fuel mixture is the mass airflow (MAF) sensor. As you likely know, this is a pattern failure item on your vehicle.
A couple of things come to mind:
1. Do you have an aftermarket air filter? If so, then this can cause contamination of the sensing element in the MAF.
2. When you checked the MAF was the engine tested for volumetric efficiency? This program can be found on at www.lindertech.com. Look at the heading labeled "downloads."
If the efficiency measured at WOT and inputting the grams per second of air from the MAF sensor should be 100 percent or higher on your turbocharged engine. The MAF output should be higher than 100 grams per second at WOT. If not, then MAF sensor replacement is needed.
I hope this helps.
