Happy 20th Birthday Deep Space Nine!
"To the best crew any captain ever had. This may be the last time we're all together. But no matter what the future holds, no matter how far we travel, a part of us... a very important part, will always remain here, on Deep Space Nine." - Benjamin Sisko
Wow, you beat me to it! I was just reading about this article on Memory Alpha! Gosh, so hard to believe this show premiered 20 years ago! I remember reading Avatar, book 1 and 2 and that was celebrating the 10th anniversary! Good times! I wish I had seen Star Trek: Deep Space Nine while it was still on the air. To tell the truth, I think I did...but it was before I was an avid Star Trek fan. I remember being at my friend's place with her older brother flipping through the channels and the Dominion War was on. It had to be at least in '99 so you know the show was still on at the time. I was like, "Woah! Awesome ships!" That really captivated my attention. Long live Deep Space Nine and if you haven't read the relaunch novels, check them out asap! So good! Well, I can only recommend two of them, Avatar 1 and 2 as stated earlier and "Rising Son". Check 'em out!
I really need to rewatch DS9 from the beginning.
I have it, although I have the disk kind, not the download kind.
can be made more pleasurable with a glass of Kanar
Here's to my favorite Trek series: DS9!
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!!!!! :)
long live
Have been rewatching the series from start to finish, have just got to the last 10-episode arc. Have to say it never gets old or dated, feels just as fresh and fun to watch as it did when it first aired.
Here's to you DS9!
Am liking the pics Horatio!

This is a recently completed jewelry box I made for my wife. The marquetry on the top is a copy of a picture my 6 year old daughter drew of our family. The lock escutcheon is my first try at pearl inlay, I kept it simple, but I am pleased. The box is mahogany, the top of the lid is redwood burl, quilted maple and various dyed veneers. The underside is zebrawood, holly, movingui and black dyed veneers. The four dots in the corners are paua abalone. Just a tung oil and lacquer finish.

Jay, I just love your small wooden boxes. I believe that this is the third one you've shown us. I appreciate your artistic talent – there are few box makers who would have even thought of the idea of incorporating a child's drawing into the box design. Absolutely unique and exceptionally well executed.

Women's basketball wins second straight, dominates Clemson 80-43
Franklin scores game-high 20, all 11 players play in win
The Virginia women's basketball team scrapped the suspense early Sunday afternoon against Clemson, reeling off 17 straight points to transform a one-point deficit with 15:19 to play in the first half into a 16-point lead with 11:37 to go. The Cavaliers carried their advantage into the break and then piled on the points in the second half to win 80-43.
With the win, Virginia moves above .500 in ACC play. The team's 37-point margin of victory was the largest in a conference game since coach Joanne Boyle came to Charlottesville in 2011.
"We really played well on both ends of the floor," Boyle said. "I think our defense really kind of turned our offense up, because we got some really good stops and got out in some early transition and scored well."
Everyone got in on the action for Virginia (12-10, 5-4 ACC), as Boyle mixed in sophomore Jaryn Garner and redshirt-freshman Raeshaun Gaffney — both guards who have played little this season — with more than five minutes to go in the first half. Garner and Gaffney contributed four and five points, respectively.
Their mostly strong play was part of a wider theme for Virginia. Nine Cavaliers logged 12 or more minutes on the afternoon, with five players reaching double-figures in scoring.
"We say we're 11-strong, and we got to play 11 kids tonight, and just to have everyone contribute in some way is such a great feeling," senior guard Lexie Gerson said. "It's just really a good team win."
Virginia broke the game open when senior guard Ataira Franklin, who finished with a game-high 20 points, pulled up for a jumper from the free-throw line with 15:12 to play. Gerson scored on a reverse lay-up and sophomore guard Faith Randolph finished in transition after picking off a pressure-induced Clemson pass.
Freshman forward Sydney Umeri got a jump hook to fall, and two Gerson buckets and a Franklin three-pointer later, Virginia had a 28-12 lead. Tigers coach Audra Smith wanted to talk to her team.
"One of the things that coach tells us is, 'Make the other team's coach call time-out,'"
Franklin said. "So, I think that we really, really wanted to focus on rebounding and getting those easy buckets and getting stops."
The Cavaliers had a harder time scoring after the breather, putting in only 10 more points before the first-half horn. Freshman guard Tiffany Suarez threw the ball out of bounds, Franklin missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Umeri had her shot blocked on Virginia's final possession of the half.
Clemson gained slight momentum going into halftime when freshman forward-center Sade Chatman made two free throws with 0.5 seconds to play.
Virginia, however, dispelled any thought of a Tiger comeback early in the second half. The Cavalier lead ballooned to 30 points with 12:52 to play, and again with 6:58 on the clock.
"[It's] just an exciting win," Boyle said. "I mean, when you get to play your whole team and you just go from start to finish … you're just working and things are clicking on all cylinders — you don't get to be in a lot of games like that — so I enjoyed it."
The Cavaliers forced 22 Tiger turnovers and manufactured 33 points from those gaffes. Virginia was strong inside and out, scoring 32 points in the paint to Clemson's 18, while knocking down 7-of-13 three-pointers. Virginia also won the rebounding battle, 42-29. Junior forward Sarah Imovbioh corralled nine rebounds, just a touch below her average of 9.5 per game in ACC-play.
The Cavaliers are in the midst of a three-game stretch — which began last Thursday against Wake Forest — that Boyle has labeled a "tournament" in hopes of spurring the team to consecutive victories and a higher place in the ACC standings. Virginia, currently seventh in the 15-team conference, concludes the week-long set against Boston College this Thursday at 7 p.m.
"We take one game at a time," Gerson said. "It's still one game at a time. We're 2-for-2 in this mini-tournament, and we've just got to bring it home."

Stand perpendicular to the door that has your therapy band attached to it, and hold the end of the resistance band in the hand furthest from the door. Keep your elbow straight with your arm at your side, and then slowly lift your arm out to the side. Be sure that your arm stays in line with your body and does not move too far forward or behind you.
Lift your arm out to the side until it is not quite parallel with the floor, and hold this position for two seconds. Then slowly lower your arm back to your side to the starting position. Repeat ten to fifteen repetitions.
These shoulder strengthening exercises are great for regaining strength in weakened rotator cuff muscles after injury or after shoulder surgery. Performing these exercises too often may cause significant muscle soreness, so it is a good idea to only do these exercises 3-4 times per week.
By keeping your shoulders strong, you may be able to regain normal function. Strong shoulder and rotator cuff muscles may also help to prevent future episodes of shoulder pain.
Again, be sure to consult your physical therapist or doctor before starting any exercise program.

There is no "set price" to meet with President Obama, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday amid continued outcry over the role of Organizing for Action, the outside group supporting the president's agenda.
"Any notion that there is a set price for a meeting with the president of the United States is just wrong," Carney said during his daily briefing.
Since OFA is intended to back the president's agenda, it makes sense that Obama would meet with the group, Carney said. "As anyone would expect, the president would likely meet with their representatives to discuss his agenda."
"But, again, any notion that there's a price for meeting with the president is simply wrong," he added.

Joining the Conversation
I have just returned from a week-long trip to Ethiopia, where I traveled with a group of incredible women to learn more about the reproductive health options available for women and their families throughout the country. Our week was filled with visits to local health centers and rural hospitals, and we even had an opportunity to meet with the Minister of Health. Out of the many things we experienced, one particular day stood out most for me: In a remote agrarian village in Amhara, a community dialogue among 30 local women left a big impression on me. The sights, sounds, and lessons from that day have been on my mind ever since. Learn more via Huffington Post.

A light heavyweight battle took place on the main card of the Strikeforce: "Rockhold vs. Jardine" event tonight (Sat., Jan. 7, 2012) live on Showtime, as Muhammed Lawal took on rising prospect Lorenz Larkin.
It was a big bump up in competition for Larkin, who looked every bit ready to take the next step. But was he really?
No. Not really. Not at all, actually. That's because "King Mo" used his superior takedowns and ground-n-pound to just put a beating on Larkin, to the point that referee Kim Winslow is again under fire for not stopping the fight sooner.
Indeed, Larkin was laid up against the cage and eating shot after shot to the grill, clearly defenseless. Even Lawal told Winslow right in the cage that she let him get hit with too many punches.
Oh well. Lawal won by knockout in the second frame and looked damn good doing it.
Lawal wasted no time at all grabbing a takedown and unloading with his trademark ground-n-pound. The entire first frame featured the wrestler plying his craft, putting Larkin on his back and frustrating him.
The second saw much of the same except this time, the power punches on the floor were finding their mark with deadly precision. CompuStrike pegged Lawal with landing 32 power strikes.
Larkin? Just two.
The Strikeforce light heavyweight is vacant now that Dan Henderson has bailed to the UFC and Lawal, who just signed a new four-fight contract, seems as good a candidate as any to fight for the belt.
Anyone disagree?

There they stood in their white robes, their haunting ways bordering on persistent and obsessive. Just as Dickens wrote some hundred and fifty years ago, they were merely remnants of themselves—"now a thing with one arm, now with one leg." Those who were cast aside, neglected, passed over or left for dead, they showed flashes from the days of yesteryear when times were happier and knees were considerably less creaky. They fought for inches, crossed goal lines, hurdled would-be tacklers, blanketed star receivers and hauled in interceptions. It was a collective stomp on what fleeting ounce of beating soul remained, all for the sake of repentance. They were the Ghosts of Cleveland Past.
The Ghosts of Cleveland's Past
What do you make of the Ravens game? – Cleveland Browns Roundtable
Craig: So now that the negativity from week one has been exhausted, how does everyone feel about the Browns' chances to bounce back against a Ravens team that got their faces pounded against Denver. Michael Oher is likely to be hobbled if not out. The Browns defense didn't play horribly against Miami. The Ravens defense still has some pieces, but they are feeling the losses of Ray Lewis, Ellerbe and Ed Reed. Still, the Ravens are 6.5 point favorites last I heard. So how are you feeling?
Jacob: Not great. Ya know, TD's buddy TA has been all over Twitter this week talking about bets and that 6.5-pt line. [Read more...]
Browns fans predict the team will go 9-7 in 2013
Browns fans are an optimistic bunch, at least collectively. When you add up the results of our survey, it yields a 9-7 prediction. (Game-by-game results are listed below.) That's probably a bit too confident for my tastes. I've said all along that eight wins should be the goal for the team if they are able to stay healthy and get better from last season. So let's break it down a little bit, because I think there are some flaws in the logic of Browns fans this season.
First of all, let's talk about the Bengals and Ravens. I think Browns fans have a pretty healthy respect for both teams. Only about 16% of Browns fans predicted the Browns could beat the Ravens in week two and about 45% said the Browns could beat them in week nine. Meanwhile, Browns fans think they can beat the Bengals at home week four at a nearly 60% rate, but lose in Cincy after the bye week with about 40% of Browns fans saying the Browns will win. I think this year those numbers are flipped. I think the Bengals are improved over last season and I think the Ravens are going to be running uphill. [Read more...]
NFL Free Agency Rumor: Ed Reed to the 49ers?
As the news gets worse for Baltimore Ravens fans, it could continue to get better for Browns fans. Albert Breer reported on Twitter that Ed Reed hired an agent, and now Pro Football Talk is reporting that that agent might help him get to San Francisco.
I could call the 34-year-old Reed a "Browns killer," except that Reed has been a pain for opposing quarterbacks and receivers in all jerseys in his career. It just hits especially close to home with how careful the Browns quarterbacks have been with Reed in the opposite defensive backfield, even going so far as to name him this season.
Earlier in February Ozzie Newsome said that he and the Ravens wanted Ed Reed back and that they thought Reed wanted to be back too. Even then, Ozzie knew that Reed would have options. That was also before the Ravens got Joe Flacco locked up to a historically high-priced deal.
The Ravens knew they would need some re-tooling after their Super Bowl season because of the aging roster, but it might be an especially rude awakening to have so much turnover in a season where they might hope to defend the title. With departures like Anquan Boldin, a retiring Ray Lewis and now maybe Ed Reed, a title defense could prove that much more difficult.
Meanwhile, the 49ers are looking to avenge their Super Bowl loss at the expense of the Ravens. That's good for Browns fans. Well, that is unless the Browns miraculously find a way to meet them in the Super Bowl.
[Related: NFL News: Baltimore Ravens trade Anquan Boldin to San Francisco 49ers]
Animated: NFL has obvious issues with officiating consistency
The NFL needs to get far more consistent making its own personal foul calls. When the Browns lost to the Ravens, I defended the technicality of the rules on a personal foul called on Browns receiver Josh Gordon on Ed Reed. On a technicality, Gordon was moving a bit back toward the Browns' goal line making it seem like an illegal hit according to a strict reading of the rules.
Now this week, the Ravens converted an improbable 4th and 30 with a dump off to Ray Rice that succeeded due to a bad spot and also a very questionable blindside block by Anquan Boldin on Eric Weddle that left Weddle injured. Yet this play by Boldin went uncalled even as he was pretty much running directly toward the Ravens goal line cracking a completely unsuspecting Weddle. [Read more...]
Animated: Josh Gordon's $20,000 block on Ed Reed
Just in case you needed your memory refreshed on the block that Josh Gordon threw on Ed Reed, here it is.
Ultimately, whether you like the rule or not Josh Gordon is going from the Baltimore 29 to the Baltimore 32 to make that block. By definition, that means he is going back toward his own goal line which is one of the characteristics of an illegal blindside block. Think of it this way. If it was a pass that hit the turf, would it be incomplete or a fumble?
Regardless, my one question is what the NFL would suggest is the appropriate play in this scenario. The answer to that question seems to be the most valuable piece of information missing. I'm sure Josh Gordon and his checkbook would like to know too.

While We're Waiting…Browns prep for Baltimore and Iggy's wins again
While We're Waiting serves as the early morning gathering of WFNY-esque information for your viewing pleasure. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email at email@example.com.
Browns will have their hands full trying to protect Colt McCoy today: "The Ravens lead the NFL with 28 sacks – nine of them against the 49ers' Alex Smith on Thanksgiving night. They are well-rested and hungry for more. The Ravens are 8-3 and tied for first with Pittsburgh in the AFC North. The Ravens have to beat the Browns to keep pace.
McCoy has been sacked 26 times and has been hit 64 times in 11 games. Four teams have given up more quarterback hits, but each of those teams have played at least two quarterbacks this season.
McCoy has started every game in his second season with the Browns and so far has lived to line up with the first team in the next practice. One Monday he had both knees wrapped. His right shoulder was pummeled in the Jacksonville game Nov. 20. Last week he left the locker room with a sore right elbow after banging it on a player's helmet while scrambling on the third play of the game in Cincinnati.

I know it is a source of pride for a lot of Steelers fans that their smiling wide receiver Hines Ward blocks like a maniac. I honestly wish Browns wide receivers cared about blocking downfield. Still, it seems to me that a lot of Ward's greatest hits are based on hunting for guys who aren't looking and then attempting to de-brain them. He lowered his helmet on Ed Reed, broke Keith Rivers' jaw, blew up Bart Scott and achieved a $5000 fine for hitting Daven Holly in a helmet to helmet after Najeh Davenport was already down in a game against the Browns. Holly went on to miss the next game with a concussion.
Amongst the four new safety proposals that the NFL has passed this year at the owners' meetings, one seems like it is instituting what I am calling the "Hines Ward" rule. [Read more...]

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful card!
Chalkboard Sweetheart Wedding Menu Cards I love this design! I was able to personalize it the way I wanted. I also purchased my Save the Dates and wedding invitations through Magnet Street...I love all of them!
Menu cards - great!
Patterned Billy Ball Wedding Menu Cards I wanted them to add more color to the menu cards and they did it for us. Perfect.
Excellent Quality and Easy to Do
Perfect Promise Wedding Menu Cards The bride and groom chose a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner that serves family style. We thought it was important for the guests to know what foods were being served in case they didn't like something spicy or had allergies to shell fish. Magnet Street offered an easy way to make a rehearsal dinner menu card. We could choose the colors and font we wanted. We could edit the card to make it the way we want and save it to the account. Then the bride and groom could go online and check it out to make suggestions. It was their idea to add the beverages to the menu. We wet back and forth until we got it just the way be both liked it. We got the final product in about a week. The quality of the paper was outstanding. The card layed across the plate so nicely. I would recommend Magnet Street products because you can change any of thier items into whatever you need. We used them for our rehearsal dinner invitation, too.
good cards, great customer service
The Power of Love Wedding Menu Cards This card turned out really well. Magnet Streets customer service is great. I had a coupon code that for whatever reason wouldn't work for me. In my remarks, I told them about my problem with the coupon. I received a response back soon after where they had adjusted my price to include the discount from the coupon. I would recommend MagnetStreet to anyone.
Classic Love Wedding Menu Cards Magnetstreet is easy to use. We ordered everything from here...save the dates, wedding invitation, programs and menu cards. Everything comes out great and really quickly. Plus, each time I bought something, magnetstreet sent us a 25% discount code. I would definitely use them again, and I would totally recommend these menu cards to a friend.

It has been released. I knew something was up when I drove by the local megaplex and there was not a parking space to be had.
I've never seen any of the movies. I guess I outgrew magic and wizardry a few years ago. Although The Lord of the Rings is awesome and I'm looking forward to The Hobbit. But then that's Tolkien. I read those books at least eight times over when I was a young man.
That said I really thought this little video was cool. Seven Potter films in six minutes.
The first seven films condensed and highlighted. Go ahead, watch it!

The stunning fall of Mark Hurd
I didn't believe it when the news broke late Friday that Mark Hurd, CEO of Hewlett-Packard, had suddenly resigned under fire.
Hurd wasn't flamboyant or a quote machine like many technology CEOs. He just steadily turned HP around, increasing profits, passing Dell in sales of PCs and IBM in sales of servers, and buying companies like EDS and 3Com. He was exactly what investors liked.
In the following days, it turned out there was more to the story.

I'd forgotten how many telemarketing phone calls you get during the day. Blimey or something! How are you supposed to get anything done?
I had a classmate who used to mess with them. "You want to sell me windows? My house doesn't have any windows, you see, because it's a cardboard box. Sure, you can get phone service to a cardboard box. You can get cable TV too. I thought about a mini-dish but I'm not so sure my walls could handle the weight."
He really enjoyed the roofing people, because he could tell them, in all honesty, "I don't have a roof." Hey, when you live in an apartment building, if you're not on the top floor, you don't.
The guys over at Junkbusters have a different solution. Make 'em sweat. They've even got a script with questions to ask. Visit them at www.junkbusters.com/ht/en/telemarketing.html if you're sick of the bother.
Print it out, then keep it by the phone. And when you pick up the phone and get that tell-tale delay, followed by an unfamiliar voice who mispronounces your name, pounce. "Is this a telemarketing call?" (That question weeds out the other annoying phone calls, like Chrysler and MCI Worldcom calling up because of billing problems–sorry, you've gotta deal with those on your own.) If the answer is yes, then keep going. " Could you tell me your full name please? And a phone number, area code first?" And they've got 12 other questions, where those came from.
I'm vacationing in beautiful Mehlville, Mo. as I write. Before you get too excited, I live in Mehlville. (It's a St. Louis suburb.) My boss' boss e-mailed me a while back and said, "Go on vacation!" so I did. Gives me a chance to catch up around the place–there's a lot I've been neglecting.
Plus it gives me a chance to work on that last article for Shopper UK.
I've been reading Guts, the business strategy book by former Chrysler #2 man Robert Lutz. Lutz was the driving force (or a major driving force) behind all of Chrysler's bold experiments in the 1990s before Daimler-Benz swallowed them. Interesting reading for anyone interested in business or the auto industry, though I'd have liked to see more of a memoir from him. Lutz didn't graduate high school until age 22. How do you go from graduating high school at 22 to No. 2 man at Forbes' 1997 Company of the Year? No matter how successful you are, there are lessons to learn from this guy. Obviously there's more to him than an MBA, a stint in the Marines, and an interest in cars, and I want to know what that is.
I'm guessing there'll be more later. No idea when. I've got a really hairy question from an Optimizing Windows reader to figure out.

ICF International
Categorized Under: Families + Communities
This report was prepared by ICF International in June 2009 for the mid-term evaluation of the project "In Defence of Child – IV (IDC-IV)." IDC – IV is a project of Committee for Legal Aid to Poor (CLAP), a registered NGO advocacy group, based in Orissa, India. The project has envisioned a legislation enforcing the right to early childhood care and education for children up to 6 years of age. The goal of the evaluation was to assess the progress made, determine the extent to which intended objectives had been achieved, identify the bottlenecks and constraints of the project implementation, and provide appropriate recommendations to improve project implementation for the remaining period. The evaluation methodology developed by ICF in consultation with CLAP comprised of desk review of relevant documents, observation of the project implementation in the field, and interaction with stakeholders involving management, staff, beneficiaries, and NGO partners. The major findings of the evaluation indicated that CLAP had planned its activities strategically. Its implementation strategies related to raising awareness of community and beneficiaries were effective.

Nick Diaz became one of the focal points of a recent conversation UFC president Dana White had with the media. Diaz, who has claimed to be retired from active competition recently launched his own fight promotion company which appears to have made moves toward securing a date.
It started when Dana was informed that Carlos Condit said he'd be interested in a rematch with Diaz but that Diaz hadn't responded yet. To which Dana said "I thought he was a retired promoter now?"
When asked what he thought about Diaz's move to start his own fight promotion, White responded simply with "Good for him. Welcome to the losing money business." Dana also said he wouldn't talk to Diaz about his fight promotion business if he did want to come out of retirement, once again stressing how tough it is by saying "You wanna lose money? Come on."
In the video, Dana also says that he hasn't talked to Gilbert Melendez since after the fight, and was giving him time to take a break. He said that Melendez didn't ask for an immediate rematch and he would likely not have granted Gil the immediate rematch if he had asked for it.

If it has worn out then the phone is not "fit for purpose" I have spoken to Nokia who have advised me that they are seeing a problem with the charging port on a small number of the E7's. Nokia need to make Vodafone aware of this issue and Vodafone need to start listening to they loyal customer of over 20 years!
Hi all
I am also having the same problem with the E7 charging port .. nokia care point says its a physical damage and that they cannot do anything about it .. its not like we are using such ports for the first time .. 5 months and my device has stopped charging.. if i intend to repair this phone by paying the service center how much would it cost in general .

As an update to this post. Vodafone did eventualy agree to replace the phone but not untill I spent the best part of a day informing them of my consumer rights. I've had the replacemnet phone for just over 3 months and guess what, the charging port has fauled again. Vodafone are replacing the phone again, this time without a fuss. I have to say that I think the E7 is a fantastic phone apart from this issue. Let's hope Nokia get to grips with this problem.

I bought my E7 on october 2011 on bangkok thailand while on holiday along with N8 and c6-01.
Well i don't have to tell my tale in detail, but in short E7 is my problem with charger port.
in my view the charger port is faulty. I can tell this because the data cable charger and hdmi cable that i got on all phone is about same but the usb port on E7 is slightly bigger (the outer ring) with compared to other phones N8 and C6-01. I even compared it with samsung phone.
I have a friend (mobile phone repairman) and he told me that E7's port does look good.
He told me the only solution is to change the usb port.
i live in Nepal where there is only one nokia care centre. They told me that since i didn't buy the phone in nepal they will be unable to repair for free ( though i have a global warrenty card).
Even in my country i found only few people with same problem, majority has no problem, it comes to only one possible reason for faulty hardware is that one of the batches of USB port is faulty, and nokia should not hesitate to replace it.
I would like to know if anyone had gone to Nokia care and solved the problem, and if yes have you got any feeling that they have replaced the usb port?
By the way i'm still confused that charger and data cable is of different type (charger is USB B) and Data and pen drive cable ( USB A) fits properly in same USB port. Any technology expert out there please elaboarte for my knowledge.
Moderator's note: Post edited because it contained information about unofficial ways to modify the device hardware. Doing so might void the warranty of the device, and possibly damage it. Therefore it is not allowed to discuss about dismantling the device on Nokia Discussions forum.

I have had the same problem with E7 as everybody here. I have it 10 months. I brought it down to the Nokia Care centre in Arklow. They knew about the fault and sent the phone back to uk for repair. They said there is a 25month warrenty on these phones and it either would be fixed or I would get a replacement. I just got it back two days ago and the battery is still going flat after 4 hours of little use. Its such a dissapointment. Its the first time in 10 years of being loyal to nokia that I have had this kind of trouble with a new phone. I liked the phone very much until this started happening but if I dont get sorted I will be looking to change to a different make next time.
20-04-2012 18:51
I have an external charger that I carry in a waist bag. I charge my phone using it in a belt case.
One day I did a bad move and the charger moved inside the charging port.
After that I have problems charging.
I read the manual and it says that a misuse voids warranty.
That was about 6 months after I buy the E7.
All microUSB ports damages this easy or just E7's?
26-04-2012 16:54
And I thought that I was the only one with the fragile charging port, Does Nokia ever go through these discussions, coz it needs to, Even I had the same issue and now Nokia is asking me to pay Rs.5000 +service taxes, I am based in Mumbai, India. stating that my phone has a physcial damage. What the hell I have used Nokia N-gage and Nokia E90 and never had any issues, my E90 still rocks and is still going cozi can even charge my Nokia E7.
Anybody kindly let all know if any sol

I also had this problem within 8 month this port was worn out.
It was changed as Warranty. Only moment - it is now white (seams a bit strange in black housing), but may be it is more "rigid"...
So - for some time it will not be a problem, but changing this port in service created up another problem - periodically not working screen lock button... It is VERY frustrating. Ant now I have left my phone for 3 (!!!) times. Nokia say only on 4th approach in service they will do something more serious. And you think - changing the phone? What a naive thinking - they will refurbish this phone or partially change it - leaving old battery in refurbished phone. Sounds great and customer satisfaction oriented after 3 times and 2,5 months in total spent in service. Such a wonderful service approach for one of most expensive phones on their range. Now I've got the phone from service and I'm not sure that it is repaired and screen lock occasional functionality problems are solved...
02-05-2012 15:00
Wow.... I am actually having the same problem! I've had my E7 almost a year, but haven't been able to use it in the last 6 or so months!
Mine doesn't even recognize a charger or make any kind of reaction when I plug it in. I sent an email to Nokia Care... Will post the results.
One more thing... Couldn't we ourselves replace the port somehow?
05-05-2012 0:51
I was VERY happy with my E7. I've been using Nokia phones about 12 years ago and I had nothing to complain about them...
I used my beautyful E7 almost like a mobile office and I was pretty happy with it.... until the day that it became to have problems with the charger... and then with the data cable... It start with a sudden interruption of it charge and by the end it was not charging at all... same story I've read A LOT above.
I took it to the Nokia technical service and they just told me that they can't solve it! Just that!.
From now I leave Nokia FOR EVER, this is the worst experice I had with any cell phone and I think that this is a mayor hardware design failure that they just tried to hide.
I wish I had read all these posts before buying this piece of **bleep**-designed cell phone.

Same problem with the Nokia E7-00, it was difficult to charge after it was a few months old and it got worse. I decided to try and get it fixed while it was still under warranty but as I was in Finland Nokia UK told me that they would not be able to fix it and I should return it to the UK for someone to diagnose.
I contacted Nokia Finland who told me it is covered under european warranty and I should bring it in to a service centre.
Took it to a service centre who said it would have to be sent away for repair, went back two weeks later to collect and I have two options pay Nokia 238 euros for parts and 58 euros labour of 40 euros and they will give me my broken phone back?? Apparently I have to cover the postage and packaging that it cost to send the phone to Czech Republic??
I gave then a phone with a USB port barely working and they send back a phone with no usb port at all, just a space where it used to be and a bill for the privilege of completely breaking my phone.
I waited 6 months for the release of this phone, I have only ever used Nokia phones for the last 12 years and now I am disgusted and bitterly disappointed in them. Do not buy this phone, I won't be buying Nokia again.

On my 3rd replacement handset since September last (now May), charge faults on all three handsets.
Achilles heel of an otherwise great handset other than wifi?
18-05-2012 15:34 - edited 18-05-2012 15:36
I'm in a similar boat. My phone is currently with my local nokia care centre. I've had it since October, which I received under warranty for my old N900 (which, unsurprisingly, broke from USB port) but because the warranty expired on the original N900 they will not fix the E7 (which i'm pretty sure for such an expensive phone should last longer than 7 months) and to get it fixed they need to send it to level 3, which will cost me £120 MINIMUM.
This is no misuse, the phone is charged at my desk, on a flat surface, with a nokia charger, overnight (where there's no chance of it being moved). I've been a loyal customer for years, but this is the final straw, I'm getting an Android phone as soon as I get the phone back from the centre (who have charged me £20 despite not knowing what the problem was). Professionals my foot.
31-05-2012 17:47
I have had USB port problems for a few months and I'll be taking my phone to the care center as soon as I find a temporary replacement. Can't do much without a smartphone.
The phone reports USB device error in 29 times out of 30 insertions with the original charger, 9 times out of 10 with the USB cable BUT works most of the times with my Brodit car charger cradle. Anyway, as I need to charge the phone 3 times a day after upgrading to Belle it's become almost completely unusable If I can't leave it charging in the car.
04-06-2012 12:53
In our company we have quite a number of E7´s, since it´s a fantastic corporate phone. But the problem and weak point seems to be the charging port. We´ve had a number of these cases, and the only solution seems to be a replacement of the complete mother board, since the connector is a part of it. So far Nokia service has repaired all of them with a new motherboard, and this under warranty. But it takes at least two weeks, since at least in Europe all phones are sent to the Czech Republic for this replacement. So we need a number of spare phones so that people can carry on with their duties
12-06-2012 10:26
Got my phone back. Also have the new white port now.
Nokia fixed it under warranty, took 5-6 days. Good stuff.
12-06-2012 20:27
I sent my phone in under warranty and was told it could not be fixed, so it was replaced--I do not have the white port that everyone reports (what type # is that?) but the port feels VERY tight compared to the old "loose" feeling. I knew the phone was prone to problems with the USB port and was always very gentle with it (after about 6 months), but it still died.
It took me 6 business days to get a replacement. Had I had to fight about it like some have reported, I'm pretty sure it would be been an international incident as I had to buy Nokia out of pocket (unlocked) to be able to have it instead of a getting a cheap contract phone. As amazing as it seems, paying retail prices for a cell phone means that I want it to last.
I wish you all luck. I am using a 059F6L7 Product Code phone. This is actually my third E7. The 1st was dunked in kool aide by my son and was a different product code--the charging port seemed very tight like this newest one. I could swear this charging port (the piece with the pins on it) is actually wider than the last.
20-07-2012 18:33
same problem. E7 charging port easily got damaged. i am careful with my phones for invest in them and i generally need them in my day to day living. i so adored the E& until the charging port gave up on me. this is with only 7 months of usage. nokia care here in the Phil told me that it was not under the service warranty so i had to find a repairman to fix it. since nokia is not acknowledging its warranty, i let the repairman/technician just open up the phone thus voiding the non existing warranty. well, it got fixed after i spent so much for it and after 2 months it gave up again. im so disappointed, its such a good and very useful nokia fone, ive come to love it and can navigate through it with ease except for that cahrging port
im glad some of you here had your phones replaced. if theres a way, i would still want my E7 to be rapaired, im not even asking for a replacement. come on, ive not even used it for over a year.

"MMh Interesting, because my N8 usb port was 'worn out" after about 9mths use.. I got rid of it and bought E7.. Hope it lasts." ...
Unfortunately, it won't. If you want to know what the road ahead is like, ask someone who is coming back. I'm so diasppointed with Nokia now. It's not about i won't buy another Nokia -- which is of course true, i would definitely not go Nokia again, after two extreme high end devices malfunctioning on me, back to back, the N97 32 GB iteration with a scratched camera lens, and this E7 with a broken USB port, and nokia flat out refusing to honor the warranty on both, while i hear from others on this forum that they fixed their's for free, i kinda think Nokia is discriminating based on the customer's nationality, and it hurts my national pride-- it's about abuse of trust. I purchased these expensive devices because I thought I have the Nokia assurance, and Nokia bitrayed my trust in them. I don't expect anything now. I know these posts mean nothing. I know these threads are not gonna make Nokia change their mind, and I know nobody cares. Nokia doesn't care about losing one customer. Or for that matter, one thousand customers. They are too big to fail. But might I remind you, dear Nokia, Pride goes before a fall. I'm so disappointed. :-(

A person of interest has been named in the investigation into a drive-by shooting that left a 4-year-old boy injured.
Investigators want to speak with 20-year-old Horatio Papillion. They say he may have been in the vehicle that drove by the home and opened fire.
Stay with FOX 13 for updates. Here is Anthony Miller's previous report:
It's a house that sits on a busy Bradenton street and shares property with a church.
It's quite possibly the last place you'd expect to be targeted by drive-by shooters in broad daylight.
But that's exactly what happened just after 11 a.m. Saturday to a house at the intersection of 26th Street and 36th Avenue West, leaving behind bullet holes and a very young victim.
"One of the rounds hit entered through a window and struck a 4-year-old boy," said Manatee County Sheriff Brad Steube.
That unidentified boy was flown to All-Children's Hospital where he was listed in stable condition.
He's expected to survive.
"It's a 4 door orange either Dodge Charger or Challenger with spinning wheels," said Steube.
Damon Walpole lives on 36th Avenue not too far from where the shooting took place.
"Right there, I mean that's right on 26th street, that's really right out in the open that's pretty brazen," said Walpole.
So close that his wife heard the shots and thought it was something far different.
"I was brushing my teeth and my wife came in and asked if I threw some firecrackers at her," said Walpole.
Walpole has been living on his street for 10 years and describes his neighborhood as an average, quiet community.
He says the fact that his son Jeremiah is the same age as the victim in this case makes it that much harder for him.
"It's scary, it could have been my little guy had he been in the front yard or something, it's pretty unnerving," said Walpole.
Investigators say they believe the house was targeted.
Random or not, Walpole says violence like this needs to stop.
"It seems like the pressure of the world is getting to a lot of people," said Walpole.
The boy's mother was home at the time of the shooting but was not injured.

GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney is expected to show up at the Ohio Republican Party's phone bank center in Terrace Park Tuesday morning to rally GOP volunteers for the final push to pass state issues 2 and 3, as first reported on The Enquirer's Politics Extra blog Sunday.
"We're glad to have Gov. Romney's help," Ohio Republican Party chairman Kevin DeWine told the Enquirer Sunday. "Our volunteers have been working very hard on these issues, and the governor is coming to thank them."
By coming to the Ohio GOP call center on Wooster Pike, where volunteers have been making thousands of phone calls to voters in recent weeks, Romney is associating himself with Issue 2, which, if the "yes" vote prevails, would keep Senate Bill 5 - which restricts the collective bargaining rights of public employees.
A poll earlier this month by Public Policy Polling, a North Carolina firm, showed that Senate Bill 5 may be doomed - 56 percent of the 581 registered Ohio voters polled said they would vote "no" to repeal the bill, while 36 percent said they would vote "yes" to keep it. Three out of every 10 Republican voters contacted by the poll said they plan to vote "no" on Issue 2.
Aligning himself with the effort to pass Issue 3 - which would allow Ohioans to opt out of the mandatory health care coverage in health care law passed last year by Democrats in Congress and supported by President Obama - makes political sense for Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who has been dogged on the campaign trail by accusations that, as governor, he oversaw the passage of a similar health care reform bill for Massachusetts.
The GOP "victory center" on Wooster Pike in Terrace Park is one of about 20 being operated around the state by the Ohio Republican Party, Ohioans for Health Care Freedom, and the Ohio affiliate of a conservative group called Americans for Prosperity.
More Elections 2011 coverage
DeWine said that, on Saturday, the "victory centers" made 20,000 phone contacts with voters around the state and volunteers knocked on 15,000 doors around Ohio urging a "yes" vote on both state issues.
Romney is returning to a part of Ohio that has been very generous to him in campaign dollars - not only in his bid for the GOP nomination in 2012 but in his unsuccessful run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008.
According to Federal Election Commission reports, Romney raised $431,353 in Ohio through June 30 - almost $300,000 of which came from Greater Cincinnati.
In 2008, he raised $1.3 million in Ohio for his failed bid for the GOP nomination, with more than half coming from the Cincinnati area.
Romney had appeared to be the clear front-runner for the nomination, but the picture has become less clear in recent weeks. Some national polls show that Herman Cain, the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, has gone ahead of Romney as the favorite of GOP voters nationwide.
Saturday night in Columbus, 428 Republicans paid $25 each to the Franklin County Republican Party to participate in a presidential straw poll. The clear winner was Texas congressman Ron Paul, with 54 percent of the vote. Cain came in second with 25 percent and Romney was a distant third with 9 percent.
Ohio's presidential primary has been moved to June 12, 2012, because of the dispute between the political parties over the congressional district map recently passed by the Republicans in the Ohio General Assembly, which means that Ohio will be at the tail end of the primary and caucus season and have virtually no say in nominating a candidate to run against President Obama next year.
"It looks like we are dead last," DeWine said. "But we've invited all the Republican presidential contenders to come to Ohio. This state is still going to be critical in the general election for president, and we intend to win it back for the Republican nominee."
President Obama won Ohio in 2008 over Republican John McCain, after two straight presidential elections in which Republican George W. Bush took the state.

The April 1865 Society unveiled the first of several planned historical markers, on Wednesday, commemorating the Battle of Selma.
The Society has plans for ten additional markers in the future, some of which can be seen by downtown walking tours and others must be reached by car.
"I'm learning a lot as we go, in terms of what happened years ago, in terms of the Civil War, and the Battle of Selma," said Mayor George Evans. "As we move towards the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, and as we also moved towards the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, I'm learning a lot about history."
The mayor added he knows firsthand that these markers can help people become more connected with the city's rich history.
April 2015 will mark the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Selma and the city's destruction by Union forces.

Review Details
Product Review (submitted on December 5, 2011):
Allergy Eyes
I bought this after a rigorous treatment for a bacterial eye infection that left my eyes looking like I was either a zombie or had been punched. I usually use her other under eye cream and since I use the facial treatment in this product, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. So glad I did. Within two days, my entire area around my eyes did not look like a war zone....soothed my skin, puffiness was gone, and I do believe it is helping the look of bruising from the infection. I say that because I put a little concealer on and saw no shadows, period. It also seemed to "hold on" to my concealer which was an unexpected yet added bonus! Love it! Oh, and no stinging or burning either!

You've probably heard of duck confit, but did you know that you can also turn vegetables into confit?
Okay, okay - I know a few food geeks out there will scold me and say there's no such thing as a true vegetable confit. I counter that "confit" is increasing used by chefs as a verb as well as a noun, and it is in that double sense that I am embracing the term here. Basically, it is a food cooked in fat until it is unctuously tender and delicious.
The result is an unctuous treat that can be used as an instant hors d'oeuvres (think confit on toast points), or mixed with whole grains or root vegetables to turn them into a luxurious side dish, mixed with pasta for a quick dinner, or used to create a vegetarian sterilized heatproof jars (wide mouth canning jars are perfect). Use a butter knife or spoon to press on the vegetable confit in the jars and thus remove any air bubbles. The vegetables must be completely covered by the oil.
Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Unlike duck and other meat confits, I don't recommend freezing vegetable confits for longer storage: the texture of the vegetables breaks down and becomes unappealing. Stick to making smaller batches and storing them in the refrigerator.

Re: Cadet Diesels?
As Bill said, there was originally the 782D, a garden tractor size (same as the 582, 682, 782 tractors) with a Kubota 3-cylinder, 15-hp diesel engine. Then it goes as follows
782D - Cub Cadet Corporation, built in 1984 and 1985 Only. Garden Tractor
882 - Built in 1984 only - Yellow and white version of the 782D. Garden Tractor
1512 - 1985 to 1987 - Replaced the 882 and 782D. Garden Tractor
1572 - 1985 to 1988 - New model with 15-hp Kubota Diesel (same engine). Super Garden Tractor
1772 - 1989 Only - Replaced 1572 but now had 17-hp Kubota Diesel engine. Super Garden Tractor
1782 - 1990 - 1996 - Replaced 1772 - Same Specs. Super Garden Tractor
That's was the end of the Kubota diesel powered garden tractors and super garden tractors. There was onether super garden tractor with a 3-cylinder Kubota gasoline engine, the 2182. These are often mistaken to have a Diesel engine, but it is actually a Kubota gasoline engine.

What is truth? Learn how truth is knowledge, comes through the Spirit to the obedient, and is a name of Jesus Christ. Also learn how to find truth in God's scriptures, by hearing God's prophets, and through personal revelation.
Truth is Knowledge:
The scriptures clearly teach that truth is knowledge- past, present, or future. If a thought, phrase, or statement is not true it is in essence the lack of knowledge.
"And truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;
"And whatsoever is more or less than this is the spirit of that wicked one who was a liar from the beginning" (D&C 93:24-25).
Christ is The Truth:
"The Truth" is one of the many names of Jesus Christ. Christ himself said:
"I am the way, the truth, and the life..." (John 14:6).To know truth we must come unto Jesus Christ and have faith in Him. Ones of the ways we can do this is through prayer.
"I am the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world" (D&C 93:2).
Where is Truth Found?:
Knowledge, or truth, comes from God- He is the source. The word of God can be found in His scriptures, by hearing His prophets speak, and through personal revelation, which comes through His spirit.
Prophets Testify of Truth:
God calls prophets to testify of His truth. Elder M. Russell Ballard, a living apostle and prophet of God, said:
"A testimony is a witness or confirmation of eternal truth impressed upon individual hearts and souls through the Holy Ghost, whose primary ministry is to testify of truth, particularly as it relates to the Father and the Son."1
Truth Comes Through the Spirit:
It is by the power of God's Spirit, the Holy Ghost, that truth is made manifest unto us:
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth..." (John 16:13).
"And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things" (Moroni 10:5).
Truth Comes to the Obedient:
It is through our obedience that we gain additional knowledge and truth:
"He received a fulness of truth, yea, even of all truth;When we sin (are disobedient to God's commandments) our capacity to learn truth is diminished unless we repent and receive a remission of our sins, which only comes through the Atonement of Christ. When we are clean and once again obedient we can receive greater truth.
"And no man receiveth a fulness unless he keepeth his commandments.
"He that keepeth his commandments receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things" (D&C 93:26-28).
Truth Changes Lives:
Knowing- and applying- truth will change your life and help guide you when making important decisions. Elder Richard G. Scott, also an apostle and prophet of God, said:
1 "Pure Testimony," Ensign, Nov 2004, 40–43.
2 "Truth: The Foundation of Correct Decisions," Ensign, Nov 2007, 90–92.
"The process of identifying truth sometimes necessitates enormous effort coupled with profound faith in our Father and His glorified Son. God intended that it be so to forge your character.... Righteous character provides the foundation of spiritual strength. It enables you in times of trial and testing to make difficult, extremely important decisions correctly even when they seem overpowering."2I know that truth is knowledge from God, which we can know as we seek Christ and His gospel. Learn how you can know the truth.
1 "Pure Testimony," Ensign, Nov 2004, 40–43.
2 "Truth: The Foundation of Correct Decisions," Ensign, Nov 2007, 90–92.

Cleaning Your Carpet and Rug the Professional Way in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk VA
No matter how habitual you vacuum and dust carpets on the top layer, there are still those microscopic organisms you won't easily suck out. Through time, these pollutants will mass up, which can cause sickness in your household. This is why you need to deep clean your carpets yearly, to make sure those germs and bacteria trapped in will not inflict harm to members of your family.
However, thorough carpet cleaning isn't exactly for regular Joes. Trained care and special tools are required to ensure that there'll be no damage to your carpets afterwards. A reputable carpet cleaning Virginia Beach Company should be contracted for such job.
Cleaning the Carpet
Getting through the trapped dirt and grime in the carpet isn't exactly possible without the use of specialized carpet cleaning equipment and products, and usually, pros use truck-mounted hot water extraction to cleanse the carpets thoroughly with the combination of environment-friendly cleaning agents, pressurized hot water, and rapid extraction to surely eradicate any pollutants in the material. Also, most carpet cleaning Virginia Beach companies use stains protection cleaner as a last step to prolong the pristine condition of the carpet.
However, if the hot water extraction system was used to cleanse the carpeting, it will naturally be left a little damp afterwards. Doing this method on your own is extremely tricky, since it is done as an exact science: overdoing it may cause mold and mildew growth which is even more dangerous to the health. Professional work, like that of carpet cleaning Virginia Beach can save you from this, by doing the method, your carpet will be completely dried out in under 12 hours or less if you need your carpet to dry quicker.
Also, with professional cleaners, you can be sure that they can get off those stubborn stains caused by spilled drinks, pets, or children, making it look like almost new again.
Cleaning the Rug
Rugs are extra delicate items, so taking care of them are also very hard to maintain and clean. They are vulnerable to color fade, dye transfer and damaged fibers. Oriental and Persian rugs are especially susceptible to this. Rug can also shrink if cleaned in inappropriate temperatures. The professional Virginia Beach Carpet Cleaning cleaners should be able to cope with these situations without causing damage of any kind.
With professionals your precious rugs and rooms should be back to mint condition in no time at all. Carpet cleaning and maintenance can become a satisfying task with the best preparations and research. Be sure for your rug's future and leave the carpet cleaning to the professionals!

The Bulldogs led 72-71 with 29.2 seconds left, and the Gators had the ball. Kenny Boynton had a chance to be the hero, but his deep three-pointer with 14 seconds left fell short. There was a scramble on the rebound, but Butler had the possession arrow and got the ball back. The Gators had one last chance after Shelvin Mack hit two free throws, but Erving Walker missed a deep three-pointer, and the Bulldogs were able to get the rebound and throw the ball downcourt to run out the clock.
Walker made Gus Johnson go crazy by hitting a three-pointer to give Florida the lead with 1:30 left, but just a few seconds later, Mack splashed a three-pointer of his own at the top of the key, giving Butler a 72-70 lead. Walker was fouled, but hit just one of two free throws. The Gators, however, played great defense, forcing an errant Mack shot and eventually grabbing the rebound with 29.2 seconds remaining.
Butler led by three points midway through overtime, but Kenny Boynton tied the game by nailing a three-pointer off a great pass from Erving Walker to tie the game at 67 with two minutes remaining. Two free throws by Ronald Nored gave Butler a 69-67 lead immediately prior to Walker's three.
Khyle Marshall made the first big play of overtime, grabbing two offensive rebounds and scoring one while drawing the foul to give Butler a 65-62 with 3:33 remaining. Marshall was only in the game because Andrew Smith had fouled out earlier in overtime. Boynton cut the lead down to 65-64 with two free throws, but Nored pushed it back up to 67-64.
Mack led all scorers with 27 points. Vernon Macklin led Florida with 25 points, but was largely ineffective down the stretch.

i try to read and write to an external Mifare 1k card with the 6131nfc.
Everytime i try to open an MFStandardConnection i get the error:
"No Class Def Found ... Cannot create class in system package"
This lines causing the error:
public void targetDetected(TargetProperties [] tProp) {
Class trial[] = tProp[0].getConnectionNames();
{ //this line causing the error
MFStandardConnection conn = (MFStandardConnection)Connector.open(((tProp[0].getUrl(trial[1]))));
catch (Exception e) {
I read hear in the discussion board that this error is caused by an outdated firmware. So i updated my phone to version 5.11.
But the error still occurs.
In the emulator from sdk1.1 the code works and i'm able to read an external card via cardreader.
So, what i'm doing wrong?
Another question: is the mifare api really fully implemented in this firmware version.
I hope someone can give me a hint how to solve this problem.
I'm thankful for any help.
