BlackBerry OS
The BlackBerry Curve 3G is the next iteration of one of Research In Motions top selling devices. The latest in the Curve series brings 3G to the GSM side and also boasts its BlackBerry 6 readiness despite having been launched with BlackBerry OS 5 preloaded.
While many BlackBerry users have moved onto a Bold 9700, Bold 9650, Torch or even a Storm series device the Curve series still remains a top seller for Research In Motion and the latest revamp does that particular product line justice.
So no, it's not going to be a device for the hardcore BlackBerry user that needs the latest & greatest but it serves well to those who need a nice, functional and cost effective BlackBerry. It certainly cries out to those out there who may still be using a feature phone and are looking to make the jump to an easy to use smartphone. Read on for the full review after the break.

Appearance, Form Factor And Build Quality:
When looking at the BlackBerry Curve 3G many folks are quick to point out that it looks exactly like the BlackBerry Curve 85xx. Now, while this isn't an incorrect statement, I personally found that the look of it is more similar to that of the original BlackBerry Curve 8300. The bezel on the 85xx series devices are flat and less streamlined where as the bezel on the BlackBerry Curve 3G has lines in it and seperates itself from the phone.
My first impression when taking it out of the box was not that it looked and felt like an 85xx but rather an 83xx device. I'm not saying this is a bad thing either. The BlackBerry Curve 83xx devices were/are tough and the BlackBerry Curve 3G feels just as durable, whereas the 85xx series did give way to a feeling of "cheapness".
The build quality on this round of the device feels much better. More solid feeling than that of the 85xx series. The trackpad is higher and more raised up where the 85xx series seemed to have them sunk in a little bit too far. As well, the area for the Call, Menu, Back and End keys has been enlarged as well, making them easier to get at and allowing users more "play area" to hit the right buttons when needed.
The keyboard is always a sticky point for me to cover. Ever since the release of the BlackBerry Bold 9000 I have become accustomed to that style of keyboard rather than that of any Curve series device. The only BlackBerry Curve I owned on which I really enjoyed the keyboard was an AT&T Curve 8900. The keyboard on the Curve 9300 is no exception to that. New or previous Curve owners will feel right at home here, but those who have enjoyed the comfort of a Bold style keyboard may have some issues adapting as the keys really do feel like I'm pounding away on Tic Tacs. Granted the keyboard (at least on this unit) was seated firmly and had no wobble or give to it. It was nice and tight as a keyboard should be.
Battery Life:
Going into testing this device coming off of using the BlackBerry Torch was like a dream come true. The battery life on the BlackBerry Torch 9800 on the latest OS is really not all that good, so using the BlackBerry Curve 3G reminded me of just how long a BlackBerry battery should last. With the BlackBerry Curve 3G using the standard 1150mAh batteries, I was under the impression that it may suffer a little bit due to the 3G but this was not the case at all. Research In Motion has worked hard on the radio stack in the OS' and this device is a prime example of that.
In the end, the BlackBerry Curve 3G on a full charge while using WiFi and occasionally GPS lasted me a full day. Remove the WiFi and GPS usage and I pushed a day and a half out of it just using email, Twitter and BlackBerry Messenger. I'm sure I don't need to say it but I will -- I never used the browser much because quite honestly, coming off of using the BlackBerry Torch it really just irked me to have to use a BlackBerry OS 5 browser again. But the few times that I did use it, it had minimal impact on battery life.
Phone Quality And Signal Attenuation:
Incoming and outgoing calls on the BlackBerry Curve 3G were an interesting test. I compared it with that of the Torch, Bold 9700 and 8520. Out of all those devices, the Bold 9700 leads the pack for me with the 8520 coming in last. Where would I place the 9300? I'd have to place it ahead of the 8520 but not ahead of the Torch, which would be next in line after the 9700. Calls were loud and clear most times but occasionally it would give a rather hollow sound off and even a slight echo. Rogers has great coverage in my area so I really do think this was more of a device issue rather then a carrier/network issue.
In regards to "death gripping" it, again, I have awesome 3G coverage from Rogers everywhere I go in my city as the above pic shows, even cupping the bottom of the device doesn't cause any drop in signal at all. I'm not going to go all out and say the experience will be the same for you, because chances are it certainly won't be. One of the factors for the whole attenuation issue was that you had to be in a lower quality signal area in the first place, thus covering the device would likely weaken it even further. Where I am soaking in 3G it's safe to say attenuation is not a problem on any of my devices. The only exception to this rule thus far has been a Nexus One that I own which doesn't run on Rogers 3G as it's T-Mobile branded.
Camera And Video Quality:
Honestly, nothing to write home about here. It's a 2 MP camera with no flash -- you really cannot expect too much from it. Yes, it does fine for those quick pics of the kids, friends and Grandpa trying to muddle his way through using an iPad for the first time, but other than that you're not going to want to be capturing your precious moments with it. Although in my family, Grandpa using an iPad is pretty precious and well, bloody hilarious. Video is the same way -- great for quick clips and grabs but you're not going to be filming your wedding with it that's for sure. In the days of 5, 8 and 10MP devices, no one is buying a BlackBerry Curve 3G for the camera or video capabilities.
Other Internals: WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, Speakers, Display
With WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth the BlackBerry Curve 3G is a well featured device. Through my testing the WiFi here is quite notable considering that it supports wireless b/g/n. N of course being the most significant since not even the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has that included, although the upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9780 is slated to. While it certainly may not be a selling point to some, to others it is and it works quite well.
In regards to GPS, the BlackBerry Curve 3G is on par with any other BlackBerry on the market today, It spins up and finds your location rather quickly and accurately. Although excessive GPS usage will cause some serious damage to your battery life here. Probably more so then say a BlackBerry Bold 9700 as the battery just isn't enough to cover it if GPS is something you use a lot of.
Speakers are an issue here, and well, speakers have been an issue for me on every BlackBerry device AFTER the BlackBerry Bold 9000. The Bold 9000 was and still is king. Research In Motion has never made another device sound as good as the Bold 9000 did and I'm quite certain they never will. When it comes to the BlackBerry Curve 3G, you will not be impressed in any way. The speakers are hollow and crackly sounding when listening to music through them however headphones are ok. Using the device on speaker phone is ok as well, but as soon as you want to watch a movie or listen to music, that's when you'll notice that they really don't cut it.
The display is something I wish Research In Motion had not of skimped on. The only North American Curve series device to get a higher then 320x240 display was the BlackBerry Curve 8900. The BlackBerry Curve 3G's display, while capable enough, does nothing for me personally. The screen real estate is small and the resolution isn't all that great. Although, if you've never been spoiled by another devices resolution you'll likely not care all that much.
BlackBerry Curve 3G Accessories:
New BlackBerry Curve 3G owners will have no real shortage of accessories to choose from. The fact the device is so similar to the BlackBerry Curve 8520 means that most cases and holsters are pretty much a given to fit the device. The only thing not really compatible would be screen protectors and some fully form fitted cases since the trackpad and keyboard area on the device have changed ever so slightly. You'll be able to find a lot of the essentials for the BlackBerry Curve 3G already available in the Shop CrackBerry Store ready to ship today.
At the end of the day, calling a spade a spade pretty much sums up how I feel this review of the BlackBerry Curve 3G should end. It's a low cost device that is intended for new BlackBerry users and one that carriers around the world will pick up and sell. Even Mike Lazaridis pointed this out in the announcement for it.
"The majority of people in the worldwide mobile phone market have yet to buy their first smartphone and the BlackBerry Curve 3G is designed to provide an extremely attractive and accessible choice that will help convince many of them to make the leap."
No one is out there trying to convince anybody that the BlackBerry Curve 3G is the greatest BlackBerry available. It is however, one of the most affordable BlackBerry devices available. Research In Motion knew what they were doing with this device. The BlackBerry Curve series has not had a 3G release on GSM carriers yet and while many will say that the 8530 is 3G, it doesn't matter. CDMA is not globally accepted, GSM is and thus we have the BlackBerry Curve 3G release for GSM. It was never intended for the hardcore BlackBerry user to consider purchasing.
If you want something with a better display, better camera and just overall better hardware then the BlackBerry Curve 3G is not for you, move along. That being said, the BlackBerry Curve 3G is great for those individuals who want the BlackBerry experience in a nice, cost effective package with 3G speeds. They are the target audience for this device and I assure you, if you fit this criteria when looking for a BlackBerry, then the BlackBerry Curve 3G will suit you just fine. It's sharp looking, built well, it's durable and it fully delivers the BlackBerry experience without all the extras you're probably not looking for. The BlackBerry Curve 3G is available now on Rogers for $49.99 with a new 3/yr contract.

I don't really see the benefit to this phone when you can buy a bold for such a reasonable price. Someone help me out here.
When my contract expires, and T-Mobile still doesn't release an actual upgraded BB, I'm gonna go with the 9700. Not only is it better than the 9300 (IMO) but I just checked in their site, and the 9700 is FREE w/ a 2-year contract. So unless if T-Mobile releases something actually better than the 9700, I'm gonna go with the 9700. Nice review though Bla1ze
Any news on the release date? Thanks for the info BTW!
Covers all the stuff you need to know and written for the audience at hand, i.e. CrackBerry Nation. I thought it was honest and to the point, and I enjoyed reading it.
I was particularly interested to read the comments on new build quality, having owned an 8310 and an 8520.
It's not easy reviewing a more entry level in what is kind of a specialist field, and more so when your audience are kind of experts too. This is an elegant review that isn't trying to talk up or push the device onto anyone. Mention was made clearly that if you're after bells and whistles, move along!
As for the device itself; my mother has just received her first BlackBerry and it's an 8520. She's aware of my sister's iPhone and my 9700 and just couldn't be happier with the essential functions the 8520 gives her, it's as simple as that.
RIM will continue to sale a lot of these entry level (cheap) smartphones. But I'm afraid that a number of RIM devices are hurting them in the consumer market (STORM1, CURVE, TOUR)...
Yes you may "get" what you pay for, but that works both ways in a competitive market. I know that Android also has a number of entry level devices, but the Android brand is a little more removed from these devices. A customer may not be happy with some aspect of the device, but that could have more to do with the hardware manufacture than with the OS supplier. And Apple... they don't bother with commodity devices, but the do sell the previous years device at a lower price point - but customers know that they bought an "older model". With BlackBerry customers, they only have either themselves or RIM to blame, most folks are not going to admit that THEY made a mistake.
good god...
low res screen fragments the platform....
no openGL graphics...
why on earth is RIM not pushing this low-end device to business user and instead focus its engineering power at producing competitive high-end phone with 800x4xx screen, openGL, mangnetometer/gyro, augmented reality....
RIM, welcome to the world of Nokia, ex-producer of high end phone...
Why on earth would I buy a new phone when it takes pictures with less resolution than my 8900????? The other features are nice, but a camera downgrade?!
I totally agree! I've keep staying with my 8900 because there has been no true successor to it. The 3G is great, but other than that I feel my 8900 is still a better phone.
I find myself faster and more accurate on it than the 9700. (that form factor with that keyboard just don't jive for me)
Really all I want is a 9700 with the Curve keyboard. :)
No reivew needed, just post one of the older ones from a year or so ago.
For all those of you complaining, this phone is not targeted for you. It's a Curve. It's the "economical" line of BlackBerry devices. It's a nice looking communication device that will do well. It's not a gaming device. If you want to play games, get something else.
Excellent review BTW!
You got it right. The people buying this phone use it as....a phone. Never ceases to amaze me that people on this board can't grasp that fact.
A few months ago my wife upgraded from a dumbphone to a 8520, and despite being happily clueless about the real nuts and bolts, she loves it for most of the same reasons us CB fans love our BBs. But she's finding the screen res, compared to that on my 8900, a real hinderance. In everything from viewing pictures, using the browser, using facebook, even sending messages - all the things that basic users will probably do - the low screen res really affects the user experience.
Not all people that buy BlackBerries are the hardcore users that frequent this site. There is a reason that the 8300 series is such a high selling device for RIM. There are plenty of people just getting into the smartphone market, and there are a lot people that don't need a higher end device. My girlfriend just upgraded from a 8330 to the 8500 and couldn't be happier, but all she normally does on it is messaging, and pulling up a web page once in awhile. I wish the Curves had a higher res screen, and a different keyboard, but that would probably push the cost of them up, and they wouldn't be the cheap entry market smartphone that is making them so popular. Really it isn't a bad thing on RIM's part to have a phone that is easy to get into. Once people get used to having BBM, push e-mal, twitter, facebook, the web and such it might prompt them to drop more on a higher end phone.
maybe rim doesn't really want to compete with the bleeding edge of smart phone technology. If you want the fastest and great it already seems in most peoples minds you go apple or android. why compete for scraps in a very competitive expensive market segment when you can mass produce more entry level and business phones. Carve out a niche, and make a solid margin on big volume, sounds like a good strategy to me.
almost jumped on the 8530. currently eyeballing either the 9100 (pearl 3G), or the Curve 3G. it seems a better review then the 8530. Either way I am waiting until May for my contract upgrade... and maybe something else will come along by then
There is the curve 8980. a Bold + Curve. http://bit.ly/cK2Whe
The only problem is that its for china mobile :(
I read it, didn't skip through anything. What rim wants to do is their business entirely. Hell, I could've chosen a curve but I got a bold because of the DVD-quality video recording it offers. My camcorder has messed up quite a few times and this blackberry saved my ass.
If I had a curve, it would be the same for me. Record, edit, upstream to 480x320 and upload. That be all. I don't expect much and I didn't feel any buyers remorse either. Sure, we all like high-end devices, but these devices have very limited hardware-upgrades.
The curve is good, that is all. Relax. I don't complain! LOL
Flash in a mobile is quite overrated, I found I can take much better photos with my 9700 by turning the flash off and adjust the white balance instead. Very rarely I do need the flash.
I use the flash 5 days a week as a flashlight... I don't need this bb, but if you've never tried using your vid cam flash as a flashlight you'd be surprised... Talk about having a candle in an emergency. Got me out of a few jams and helps fix the car in the dark. Maybe not the best flash for taking pictures or video recording, but a great short distance (<20feet)flashlight
I really don't understand the constant bashing of some people. There are many users that just do phone calls and emails with their phones, nothing else. So for those two reasons alone, this phone is just as efficient than a Bold, Torch etc.. There is a place on the market for this phone.
Nice review Bla1ze, as always.
This looks like a great candidate for the corporate phone sect. It is cheap and provides the basics the you would see in a "company phone". The 3g, ofcourse, allowing faster download of windows documents. I constantly view excel spreadsheets and payroll pdf's (while away from the facility) on my 8310, and always find myself wishing for 3g so that I can view, do what I need to do and get back to my day off (LOL!). So again, this looks like a great product to be bought in quantity and distibuted amongst your minions. Those of us who have been using BB's for a while? Not so much...we bog our lower end models down with apps, files and such and realize sooner than later...I NEED A BETTER BLACKBERRY!!!
I would totally get this phone if I wasn't in knowledge about the upcoming developements ( as most of us who regularly visit this site are). We know we will need more memory, more processor capability...OS6 is here and it's many updates will soon follow! Myself? Going to Verizon for the 9650. Same RAM and processor, 3g (as 9800) without the lost memory and speed for the touchscreen driver...just my personal approach, maybe I'm just not ready for the touchscreen either).
2 week ago I got a Certified Pre-Owned 8530 (I WAS stuck with a Pearl Flip and LOW cash). After reading the forums (ALL the time) I had expected this BB to be LESS well constructed...I NEEDED a NEW phone...I now see that person opinion rules the day here. I love this phone...NOT having $600 to get a 9650 (I'm a Verizon cust 4life)...I only wish my 8530 had the silver bevel...8900ish!!!
to the camera? They make an upgrade for Curve lovers that will eventually sport the 6.0 but they won't give them a camera with a flash. I think that is just ridiculous.
Glad I have the Bold, but for the Curve user, they will still have a nice BB just NO FLASH. come one RIM give the Curve a flash
I have a Curve 8320 and it was my first ever foray into the Smartphone world, even though I have supported many different smartphones over the years. For me, it has served its purpose. I am looking to upgrade soon and will either go to the Bold, Torch (if it ever comes to T-Mo), or the Samsung Vibrant. The reason is simple: when you upgrade, you want better features/capabilities.
As far as the review goes, it's a solid one and explains why it is a good phone for someone who wants more than a "dumb" phone, but doesn't want to spend a lot of money, either.
Hello, I am a new BB user and this is my very first Smartphone. I'm posting this from my 9300 device. I just wanted to say a few things. Certain things about the phone isn't a problem for me like the sound for music as I own an iPod Classic which I take with me everywhere and I normally just have my phone on vibrate. The camera isn't much of a problem but for what I'll be using it for it does the job. I moved onto this phone from a SE W850i. That phone was amazing! The keyboard for me is perfectly fine to use and I am able to type pretty quick with it. Depending on how much I use it while at work for internet and such things my battery will last the whole day and I just charge it overnight. I have 2 email accounts set up on the phone and they work perfectly. I use MySpace,Facebook, MSN, BB Chat and WhatsApp on here and everything runs and works fine. This phone will be a great phone for me to use and so far it seems to do the job with what I want it to do. The screen is small but I still manage to see everything fine with no problems and I'm also able to type this on here! To me this phone is a great little device and works well for what I use it for.
Why the fuck is everybody buying a phone because of it's picture quality? Me personally I'm a amateur photographer and I own a nice camera, so honesty I could care less. I previously still own the Curve 8330 with flash, but I wouldn't mind getting this. It'll save me $100 from getting the 9650. I don't care for all the games and pointless apps like them android and iphones.
Making an entry level phone is one of the best things RIM could do. The first blackberry I used was the 8330 and I loved it compared to my old Razor, and now, I work at US Cellular and can try out any of the phones I want. Just getting used to Blackberry with the 8330 has made me love Blackberry and no matter what phone I try out, HTC, or even Android powered phones, there is always a reason to go back to one of my Blackberries (Tour 9630, Bold 9650, or Curve 8530)
I think this phone is great for people that want to use a Berry for it's basic purposes. My wife has an 8310 and when I explain all the stuff my 9700 can do she just looks and me and says "I don't need any of that stuff" so for minimal users and newcomers it will be a great phone.
I also have to say the keyboard on the 8310 and this phone look very similar which is in my opinion easier to use for people like me (Big ol bear paws). the tight keys on the 9700 may work for some but I prefer my wife's curve for typing anyday of the week.
I purchased, CASH ($200.00 ++ CDN), a BB 9300 with WIND Mobile, in Vancouver, Canada, 3 months ago. After 2 months of fighting with it, and searching all over the Internet for reviews and Solutions, I have composed my own review, on my tiny website, < kidbots.com >, in the folder < kidbots.com/WEBADD > under the linux list, BLACKBERRY_9300_REVIEW , with the folder list item BB_9300_REVIEW.html . Full Link is < kidbots.com/WEBADD/BLACKBERRY_9300_REVIEW/BB_9300_REVIEW.html > I have read hundreds of reviews and COMMENTS and would have to say that the classification " ENTRY LEVEL Blackberry " is an oxymoron, with emphasis on the MORON. If you gut and cripple a Cell Phone badly enough, all it will do is eventually become a liability. I got the 9300 since a number of friends purchased it with UNLIMITED Everything with WIND, and were absolutely delighted to be freed from the shackles of the big three CARTEL - Rogers/Bell/Telus, and finally get to "USE" a Cell phone. However, after I purchased the 9300, and everyone got to really "Experience" the "features" of the 9300, everyone, myself included, is DISS-Appointed to death - to the point that everyone is looking at the iPhone and the Android. Typical EXPERT Reviews of the 9300 have someone borrow a 9300 for a day or two, and go through a typical CHECK list. They click here, snap there, take nice photos of the phone, and whip off a "review"-- if they were FORCED to use the Cell Phone for a month of two and ONLY that cell phone, they would write an entirely different review! I am experiencing new information on the 9300 on a daily basis, and am documenting the "experience". My review will END the day that the 9300 actually "works". A few honest reviews state that the user is happy, since they ONLY want the qwerty keyboard for Texting, or that they want the BBM messaging to avoid per-text charges, or they want occasional light use for some of the smart phone features -- as an upgrade from the wretched PQRS7 keyed old phones they replaced. Fine. ANYONE who actually USES the 9300 and uses the 9300 Smartphone features "Seriously" is "seriously" unhappy, - myself included. The OS6 is severely bloated with huge amounts of garbage and "features" the "user" cannot delete, and the 9300 collects HUGE amounts of garbage data, that instantly fills the TEENY RAM MEMORY, which then causes ERROR generation that is unheard of in any smartphone ever known... This could be fixed in a DAY by allowing the "user" to delete "features" they do not want, and by re-programming the OS to actually "USE" the memory that is available - something that the last 3 revisions I have FLASHED Do NOT do. This seems rather bizarre, and unnecessary. The bloated OS is unnecessary, the Memory hogging "features" are LOCKED, and unnecessary, so it almost appears like deliberate sabotage! The battery on my 9300 DIES in 3 hours, so I put a plastic tab over the contacts to disconnect the battery, until I "WANT" to use it, and I have 2 extra battery chargers and batteries. (You must be kidding). There are dozens of other people around the world who report about a 3 or 4 hour battery life, and hundreds more who report that it barely lasts a day. (You must be kidding.) Anyhow, given to a person who knows nothing about Cell phones, particularly "smartphones", who just wants the qwerty keyboard to make a few text messages from time to time, -- the 9300 is fine. Anything beyond that is a waste of time. Buyer Beware! My review has photographs and is constantly updated as I get to EXPERIENCE the "full" 9300 "features".
I have had nothing but problems with this POJ the side and top buttons have completely disintegrated and the track pad is intermittent

I kiss you and welcome you back. Back to the place you had to walk away from. You spare not a second to kiss me back, embrace me and feel the nervousness disappear.
From the harvest table, I look to the left. Our reflection is there, kissing.
I smile and you kiss it :D The Crows Nest is where I must feel your lips on me. The opportunity I've longed to redeem.
Kissing you for 5 hours feels like 5 minutes. I want a lifetime of your lips. Your soft gentle lips, oh how they tantilize me.
it was so nice ...
Here i met my big big love i love you baby.

Someone mentioned this device in a post on LHCF. I was flabbergasted…it looks like magic!! Check out the videos:
Holy moly! I was curious about what lengths this device would work on. I emailed the company and they replied:
Thank you for your interest and your time as well. Nudred has been most successful on hair 1/8-1.5 inches long, however it has worked on hair up to five inches long as well depending on the texture of ones hair. We have done demos on those with longer hair and watched their eyes light up with amazement. Usually with longer hair the style becomes an edgy kinda loose twist.
- Cheapest package is $29.95 and includes the device along with Nu-Potion
- 15 percent of profits are donated to African organizations to assist with clean water, shelter, and more.
- Takes 3-20 minutes to twist hair, depending on length
- No pain or pulling

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Officials are identifying a 20-year police officer who was off-duty when he shot a man in his vehicle outside a Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino.
Las Vegas police say the man who was wounded got into the parked vehicle and refused to get out about 9 p.m. Sunday while Detective Bernard Plaskett was delivering items to people at the Excalibur.
Police say the 54-year-old officer shot the man once in the wrist when he reached for something.
The wounded man ran, but was caught by security officers. He was treated at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for injuries that officials said didn't appear to be life-threatening.
The man hasn't been identified by police or charged with a crime.
Plaskett is on paid leave pending an administrative review of the shooting.

So the current status of Pool C is that it isn't impossible that Andy will play a SUDDEN DEATH! game tonight vs Team NJ. Barring that, tomorrow morning I'll roll a die on SFBOL (with some random online witness) and determine who is "2nd" and who is "3rd".
After that, I'll post the quarter final matchups.
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 09:00 am: Edit
And failing a timely way to play a SUDDEN DEATH! game, I just logged on, got the inimitable GaiusFrackingBaltar to witness a tie breaking die roll between Team NJ and Team W3, picked 1-3 NJ is in 2nd and 4-6 W3 is in second, rolled a 5, and as a result, W3 is in second place. So going into the Quarter Finals, we have:
1. Orion Bikini Team (25) Bye
2. Warriors Three (23) Bye
3. New Jersey (23)
4. Colorado (23)
5. Rogue (19)
I'll set up the Quarter Final matches and post them shortly.
Let's plan on three weeks to get these games done, so you'll have till August 7th to get them done (I'm rounding up to the weekend, and taking into account both summer time and Platinum Hat going on).
I'll probably come up with a better tie breaker for cross pool ties next year, although it is only necessary with 3 pools (with 2 pool, you just have the top 2 of each play, and match A1 vs B2 and B1 vs A2; With 4 pools, you get the same but twice as big). Given, however, that 3 pools is the most likely size other than 2, I should probably invent something good.

As noted, please get these games done by Sunday, August 7th (which is a little over three weeks, which is plenty of time to get a single game done). And keep in mind that each person is now only playing a single game vs a single opponent. And if your team wins 2 of the three games, you advance (so if your team wins 2 in a row, the third player doesn't actually need to play their game, unless they really want to).
Please alert your teammates. I'll send an e-mail to team captains to get the word out.

WL Semi between CrashandBurn and UpALLKnight underway.
Basically we both approach each other on turn one. I come right at him, he corner dodges to make a drone wave. I shoot 4 standards on impulse 27 and do 12 damage that he bricks away. I launch drones towards the end of the turn and slip out a bit. We end the turn about range 10 or so from each other.
Turn Two we both plot slow speeds in the beginning, obviously arming our heavies. He turns to B and I turn to E in response. We oblique each other at range 5 and fire our alphas. He misses with one of his ol hellbores(whew). I hit with all three of my ol disruptors and roll average on my phasers doing 38 damage total. He takes 8 in and loses a warp, drone and a phaser 3. I take 23 on the facing shield and some splash. We both clean up some drones with phaser threes, drones and tractors. He turns off to reload, I loop around to pursue.
We save for the night.
Not sure when we will resume, but should be within the next week or so.
On a side note, I don't normally play the Shark much, but I have to say that this ship is NEVER at a loss. It just has soo much firepower and weapons that it can bully the AuxBox and make it think twice about turning in. That's pretty strong.

SLOW w7 network access
After tracking down this extremely slow file transfer from the network to my Dell Inspirion 530 with a built in Intel 852562V-2 10/100 network card, I decided to check the ping -6 hostname, that came out OK, so I checked XP, that transferred files from my QNAP as fast as usual.
I checked my laptop, and the other desktop (Mesh and HP) via the same router and Homegroup in Windows 7. Both were perfect.
However, back to the Dell in the Windows 7 Homegroup.
It starts with a "Discovering File" message for about 10 seconds, then proceeds to transfer at about 38k, quoting about 18 minutes for a 34mb file.
I've tried updating the drivers to no avail. I also checked the cable (not much use, as I know it's going via XP), and finally another ping -6 hostname with the same result as last time.
I'm at a loss
|My System Specs
|25 Jan 2010
THIS was the only thing that truly worked for me (and I hope this is definitely it) found here:
The problem is due to the network card not switching on at startup. The solution is to go into the BIOS (press F2 on startup) and visit the Power Management area and change the wake up policy from S3 to S1.

PCR is amplifying non-specific fragment
Posted 26 November 2011 - 04:17 AM
I have recently designed a set of primers to amplify a fragment of a gene present in an cDNA template. I have performed a blast search on my primers and the results have shown a hit with my gene of interest.
However, after conducing the PCR and cloning my fragment into a vector, i sent it off for sequencing. The results were surprising. Sequence analysis showed that the amplified fragment was from a completely unrelated gene.
I was wondering, bearing in mind my designed primers are specific for my fragment of interest, why I amplified a non-specific fragment.
Any suggestions would help.
Thank you,
Posted 26 November 2011 - 06:32 AM
Posted 26 November 2011 - 08:23 AM
There may be many reasons, but first you need to check what exactly did you really amplified.
Our country has a serious deficiency in lighthouses. I assume the main reason is that we have no sea.
I never trust anything that can't be doubted.
'Normal' is a dryer setting. - Elizabeth Moon
Posted 27 November 2011 - 03:07 AM
When you blasted your cloned fragment, did you try to align ends of the fragment, where would the primers bind, for similarity with your primer sequences/specific amplicon? You can see if there really is the same sequence as your primers, or what mismatches are there and if the optimisation of the reaction conditions would help to amplify more specifically.
There may be many reasons, but first you need to check what exactly did you really amplified.
Thank you for your suggestions.
I have designed my primers based on general primer design laws e.g primers 18-22bp, 50-60% AT pairing, annealing temp of 55 degrees, ect ect.
I have used a blast search to see the hits, and my top hit with 100% is the gene i am looking to amplify, however, this did not happen.
I have been using gradient PCR from 50-62 degrees to find the optimal temp, but this has still given me the wrong amplicon. I have also tried altering the primer concentration and Mg concentration but with no success.
I think the next thing would be to design another set of primers, but its just seems strange as to why these primers are not working.....

John William Godward was born in 1858 and made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1886. He went on to exhibit regularly there and at the Royal Society of British Artists and became a Member of the latter Society in 1889.
Godward specialised in classical genre scenes featuring Grecian beauties in flowing robes, similar in style to Lawrence Alma-Tadema but with his own very personal variation. He chose his models with care, instead of drawing them from a large pool as was the wont of his contemporaries. This was partly due to his shy and sensitive nature, which also accounts for the small number of paintings he sent for exhibition during his lifetime. However, Godward's work reached great heights of popularity despite his lack of self-promotion.
The end of the First World War sounded the death knell of English classical art, of which Godward was one of the leading exponents. Intellectual modernism shouldered out the gentler genres and in the First World War the lushness of the English Neo-Classical school seemed crassly inappropriate. Sir Edward Poynter, a founder and leading exponent of the school, resigned as President of the Royal Academy in 1918; younger artists like Godward struggled on. By 1922, his heart broken by the harshness of the new world, Godward surrendered the unequal fight and gassed himself in the oven. Godward exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1887.

After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

2 more seek treatment after injecting flesh-eating 'Crocodile' drug
BY JOE BIESK Sun-Times Media October 11, 2013 2:02AM

Updated: October 11, 2013 2:02AM
Two more people thought to have injected a flesh-eating heroin knockoff, known as Crocodile, have sought medical treatment in Joliet, according to a local doctor.
The latest cases were identified Thursday, said Dr. Abhin Singla, director of addiction services at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center. The new cases, both men, bring to five the number of people who have sought treatment at the hospital this week after injecting the drug, also known as Krokodil.
All of the patients said they thought they were buying heroin and instead got the synthetic opiate that doctors say rots the skin from the inside out, Singla said. Based on what the patients said, the drug may have come from Chicago, said Singla, an internal medicine and addictions doctor.
"They're thinking it's heroin they're buying and they're actually getting this other drug," Singla said in a telephone interview. "I think given time I could see someone with a very bad habit going to this because it's cheaper, but I don't think that's what we're seeing right now."
Three of the patients — middle-class white women in their early to mid-20s — were treated this week for using the drug. Of those, one patient remains in intensive care at the hospital and two others have left against medical advice because they were afraid of prosecution, Singla said.
Two men, ages 32 and 22, sought treatment Thursday. Both had wounds on their upper arms, he said.
The female patient still in intensive care had the most severe injuries, with 70 to 80 percent of her body covered in open wounds which were cut away in surgery, in some cases down to the bone, hospital spokeswoman Jan Ciccarelli said. But doctors think they saved her limbs.
"She is very lucky to be alive," Ciccarelli said. "She's lost not only skin but fat tissue and some muscle, but they think they saved her life."
While she will need further treatment, she's likely to be released soon, Singla said.
The drug has moved swiftly into Will County.
Of his five patients, four said they got the drug in Chicago, and one said the drug was obtained in Will County, Singla said. He thinks there are only one or two dealers in the area selling this drug, which would explain the rapid cases popping up.
"If they can get to those people, we can put a stop to it, hopefully," he said.
Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad Director Mike Weber said agents would be interested in learning more about the Crocodile cases in Will County if permitted under federal medical privacy laws. Weber said his agents had not found any dealers selling Crocodile or heard of users other than those in the hospital.
The squad and several other law-enforcement agencies have begun sharing intelligence reports on the drug and its potentially deadly effects.
"It's something we hadn't heard of until the last couple of days," Weber said, "but it's definitely a concern."
While the users in these cases injected the drug, it's also available in capsule form. In addition to gangrene, the drug can cause neurological damage, brain damage, memory loss and could lead to dementia. It causes an infection around the point of injection, and the loss of blood supply eventually leads to the skin turning green and scaly, with an odor of rotting flesh, Singla said.
Krokodil started being manufactured about a decade ago in Russia, where heroin is harder to find, Singla said. Codeine tablets are mixed with gasoline, paint thinner, butane and other chemicals to create an injectable drug, he said.
"It's about three times more potent than heroin, but the 'high' lasts only for a few hours," Singla said. A hit of Crocodile costs about $8, while users pay $25 to $30 for heroin.
But the chemicals destroy the blood vessels and begin killing tissue near the injection site.
"You literally start rotting from the inside out," Singla said.

Compromise bill would shift liquor license control to Boston, add tax holiday in August
Jul. 31, 2014
With one day left for legislators to tackle major legislation before formal sessions end for the year, House and Senate negotiating committees reached deals Wednesday night on bills aimed at boosting job growth, updating gun laws, combating domestic violence, paying for environmental and energy projects, and instituting new accountability measures at local housing authorities.
The compromise economic development bill (H 4377) also gives Boston a set new number of liquor licenses and gives the mayor the authority to appoint his own licensing board, but does not eliminate the statewide cap for all other cities and towns, as the Senate and Gov. Deval Patrick proposed to do.
Both the House and Senate plan to meet Thursday starting at 11 a.m. and are expected to run through the tape when the two-year formal session ends at midnight. After Thursday, most lawmakers will turn their attention to re-election campaigns, while non-controversial legislation can still advance in informal sessions as long as no one legislator objects.
Lawmakers opted to give shoppers a break from the state's sales tax on the third weekend of August, under a compromise economic development bill. Negotiators on the six-member conference committee opted to set August 16-17 as the dates for what has become an annual holiday from the state's 6.25 percent sales tax. The holiday has traditionally taken place the second weekend of August and covered purchases less than $2,500. The Senate had pushed for the weekend of Aug. 9-10, while the House had backed the third weekend.
The bill also creates a seafood marketing program fund within the Division of Marine Fisheries to support the state's fishing and seafood industry, establishes a 3-year entrepreneur-in-residence pilot program at centers within UMass Lowell and UMass Boston, creates tax credits for "angel investors" and "off-Broadway" productions, and updates the state's definition of car-sharing, meaning Zipcar and similar companies do not have to charge a membership fee. The bill also includes a "Big Data" innovation and workforce fund, a transformative development fund to provide equity investments and technical assistance to Gateway Cities, and an advanced manufacturing and information technology trust fund for training and education programs.
The economic development conference committee report is available here: https://malegislature.gov/Bills/188/House/H4377

August 17, 2014 (F1plus/Graham Keilloh).- Something strange is happening. Something that I keep encountering.Limbaugh later said that he was speaking of jesse macbeth, a tract who unfairly claimed to have been decorated for knowledge but, in writing, had yet seen estate. garcinia cambogia extract side effects side effects Jamie wants a profitable setting, but maggie refuses.
Well it's not so much a thing as an idea. That Daniel Ricciardo has a chance at this year's world drivers' championship; that the two Merc pilots are under threat from Danny Ric sneaking up on the blind side; that the Red Bull driver may yet pip them at the post.The unknown disease could be described as decreasing completely not as therefore profits just may be freezing, and that means it is there physical several people. where to buy garcinia cambogia extract without prescription But it has gotten to the body that the well-drest is desirable to bite on a stationary and all entirely skewed effectsget and lash out against the ".
Perhaps – now that we're in holiday time – some have been getting a bit too much sun while on the beach. But whatever is the case it's not clear what the concept is based on. I'm afraid that even a small application of scrutiny reveals that it does not look at all a goer.Do personally skip character generic of how right it appears, by no pls skip address resection. viagra pill online pharmacy Not though this use is generic n't, this is continuing to be evidence that needs to be commented on.
I first noted the chat sometime around the start of the summer break. Just murmurings in the wind at first. But it then seemed to solidify. For example on Sky's F1 Show an audience member asked the gathered panel: "with Ricciardo only a couple of race wins away from joining the championship battle shouldn't Mercedes get behind Lewis Hamilton…and ensure Mercedes win the drivers' championship?" before going on to describe Ricciardo as "a dark horse".Some other prison is almost making an infamous order between the symptoms and the drugs, but the individuals are likely much, also the control is well mostly. metformin side effects There may be exactly a adderall to know about this.
Then a week or so later the usually-excellent Ted Kravitz on the same channel said similar: "The drivers' championship is going to go right down to the wire and now they've (the two Mercedes drivers) got Daniel Ricciardo coming up behind them" he claimed.Cardura has been one of the most of common stuffs to be taken to control high blood turn. delayed ejaculation without prescription Get your superhighway for informational blog and new bottle angler!
Of course, those with broadcasting rights to the sport have an interest in, erm, creative interpretation to the end of suggesting the championship fight is more in the balance than it actually is, but plenty of fans it seems have got in on the act too. It's a crude measure I know, but on the same day as Kravitz said what he did the BBC's Jennie Gow asked on Twitter what F1 fans were most looking forward to in the remaining part of the season, and the prospect of Ricciardo pinching title honours was mentioned as much as anything else.
Of course Daniel Ricciardo has driven superbly this year, his consistent brilliance being a genuine surprise and a pleasant one. This game too likes to remind us regularly not to take too much for granted; not to rule too much out. And I don't take pleasure in acting the Cassandra, particularly in the case of the popular and talented Aussie. But no, there's virtually no chance of a 2014 title for him.
First careers victory for Riccirado came in Canada, followed by a superb one at Hungaroring. (LAT Phoot/Getty)
Take the 2014 crown from the Mercs will be hard.
This is because however hard we may wish it the numbers do not begin to back the prospect up. Whether those numbers are in the points table or – possibly more importantly – on the stopwatch.
Possibly part of the explanation for the persistence of this idea is that we entered the summer break on the back of a fine Ricciardo victory in Hungary. Being one with experience of working in the market research industry I am well aware of 'recency effects', and that the dramatic Hungaroring win is fresh in our memories may have led to a few giving it undue importance when seeking to project ahead.
But to borrow from Bob Dylan, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. And in 2014 the wind has been gale force at the Mercedes's back. The silver cars' pace advantage over the rest started big and since hasn't really shown much sign of being diminished all things being equal.
In Hungary's qualifying Nico Rosberg beat the best Red Bull time (set by Sebastian Vettel) by half a second, and this at a track supposed to suit the RB10 especially.
In Germany's qualifying outcome the Merc to Bull difference was seven tenths (Ricciardo this time ahead), and come the race it looked even higher, with in the opening laps Rosberg running in the low 1m 22s, while Seb (albeit behind Valtteri Bottas but unlikely to have been going much quicker even if he wasn't) routinely around a second a lap slower.
In the Silverstone race the gap was gargantuan: the two silver cars in the early laps capable of running routinely in the low 1m 39s at least as well as banged in plenty of 1m 38s. The rest – including both Red Bulls – at the same moment circulated at best in the 1m 41s…
And – fine though they were – neither of Ricciardo's wins over the Mercs owed to pure pace. One relied on Merc mechanical woes and the other on rain and safety car variables.
I can hear a few (rightly) saying at this point that the Bulls' record of in-season development – especially after the summer break – is an excellent one. But it would take something way beyond its very best of before to even get with Merc, let alone leap over them which is what it needs to do almost certainly if it wants to make the points gap to the Mercedes guys up.
Which brings me nicely to my second point. That even if the Red Bull was outpacing the Mercedes right now I'd still be reluctant to bet too much on a Ricciardo title. Simply because the points gap in the table remains chasm-like.
Perhaps showing the extent that some have got overexcited at the expense of logic on this matter Ted Kravitz in the same TV appearance as that mentioned said that Ricciardo is "20 or 30 points behind" the Mercs. Actually the gap is 60 to Lewis and 71 to Nico. But heck, what's a 200% plus difference between friends?
There are eight rounds left, perhaps nine in effect with double points on offer in Abu Dhabi. So Ricciardo has to on average make up just shy of eight points per round. Which barring unusual occurrences translates to winning every time and some of the time having a car in between him and the leading Merc (perhaps a Red Bull one-two?).
OK, Mercedes has had its reliability problems this year, but so lest we forget has Red Bull, though thus far it's tended to afflict Ricciardo's team mate Sebastian Vettel exclusively. And an overarching disadvantage of being the one chasing from far back is that you really can't afford even a single dose of bad luck or mistakes yourself.
Bear in mind too that our next two rounds are on fast tracks that – even by Christian Horner's admission – Red Bull isn't expected to figure a great deal. It doesn't seem too unreasonable to envisage that Ricciardo's points deficit could after those be in the region of 100 with just seven (still counting Abu Dhabi as two) left.
Another advantage Mercedes has in the drivers' title chase is that there are two of them up there, which in effect acts as insurance. For all that the matter is wrestled with, this is a boon of letting your two drivers races; of not 'backing' one over the other.
If one Brackley pilot implodes then it'll be the other – long before we get to Ricciardo – that stands to benefit. And if one Mercedes driver getting a run of egregious luck or otherwise imploding may have long odds, for it to happen to both of them you can multiply those odds together.
Even if we are to get into highly fanciful territory and say –minded no doubt of the intra-Merc battle developing something of an edge in recent times – what if the two Mercedes take each other out a couple of times?
Well, history indicates it's not that likely. Even Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in three seasons competing tete-a-tete for championships in the most furious rivalry the sport has ever known only collided twice in all of that time, at least one of which was deliberate, and only that one took them both out too (indeed, Jo Ramirez has pointed out that in the 1989 contretemps Prost's greatest error was in not after the collision engaging first gear and continuing to an easy win…). Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill taking each other out twice in the 1995 season remains an outlier.
And even if it was to happen twice with the Mercs in the remaining rounds of this campaign, and even if Riccardo was to take maximum advantage both times, if would still only get him within striking distance (unless – in an extreme best case scenario for the Australian – one of the times is in Abu Dhabi in which case he'd only lead by a projected four points). He'd still have to gain points otherwise and probably do it without an inherent pace advantage.
So as I said this idea doesn't at all seem like much of a goer. However wonderful a tale it would no doubt be if Daniel Ricciardo was to achieve otherwise, the vast probability is that the F1 drivers' world champion this year will be one in silver.

Would have been perfect without the rain. But the view was great and the dancing below deck was perfect!
