Agreed. It just chaps my hide when people flame a monk for a simple oversight in a post that is otherwise very helpful when it would be just as easy and probably more effective to /msg the poster in the Chatterbox.

Do we have any crafty moms here?
Are there any crafty moms in the group?
I like to make cards. I will sometimes make scrapbook pages, but that is usually just as a gift.
I have been seeing the ads for Stampin' Up here and wondered if anyone does any stamping. I would love to learn.
So ladies, do you craft? And if so, what types of crafts to you do?

text: | Who you got to win the Super Bowl?February 2, 2012 - Bennet GoldsteinI've gone back and forth the past two weeks on my prediction of who will win the Super Bowl Sunday, so it's time to blog to set in stone a pick. I like the New York Giants to take down the New England Patriots by a score of three points. I think the Giants are a more well-rounded team and are the hot team going in. The Patriots have a suspect defense and their biggest scoring threat — monstrous tight end Rob Gronkowski — could be limited with a high ankle sprain. My opinion may change before gameday but I think the Giants are playing the best football right now between the two of them, which was evident when they knocked the defending champion Green Bay Packers out of the playoffs. Well, I made my pick, now it's your turn. Who will win and by how much Sunday? Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | |

I have another question about my design. I have three datasources (access, excel-files and XML from Web Services) and want to put them together into a mssql database (DBALL). Via GUI a user can update the data if he wants and he can change data as well. I have a construction question and hope I may ask that here. My idea is as follows:
Access, Excel and XML data gets imported into an Entity Framework Model (that maps the mssql database). If the user wants to update the database I gonna write the 'new' data from access, excel and XML (via DataReader) into the EF-Model which updates the database.
I have almost no experience with this topic and this is a lot of work so I dont want to go the wrong path. Would you recommend this way or are there any backdrafts?

Why write the new data from access/excel/xml etc when you have a front end application writing data?
Maybe I mis-understood, can you explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve?

Hi Rick, I try to explain my problem more detailed.
Lets say I have an online/offline questionaire system. On the one hand people fill questionaires online and I can get the data from our provider via web service (they only provide rudimental select (get) functions). On the other hand we get paper questionaires and fill them into an access database. I cannot manipulate the data in there current containers (I cannot reach the database behind the web service). Access and WebService data has to be harmonized since the variables have different names (not all but a lot) in there current state.
I want to set up an sql-server and fill all the data from the two different sources into it and implement an update function to fill in new datasets (e.g. new filled questionaires). I will build an Application (written in .NET) where I can implement different Modules to create graphical/ tabulated Reports or Wordclouds and so on. For some of these reports I need to mark a dataset (questionaire) if it is used in the reports once so I need to write something into the database (some flag or whatever).
So the datastream can be described as follows: Access+WebService -> (via Datareader or own classes HARMONIZATION) -> Entity Framework -> SQL-Server -> Entity Framework -> Application
I am not sure, if this is the best way of doing it since I have no expericence.

Helleborus niger
Christmas rose
- Position: partial shade
- Soil: heavy, neutral to alkaline soil including heavy soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: January to February
- Other features: all parts of the plant cause severe discomfort if ingested; the sap may cause skin irritation
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Low-growing, deeply cut leathery foliage will provide year-round interest at the front of a partially shaded bed or woodland floor. From mid-winter to early spring, sturdy stems carry the white (occasionally pink-flushed) flowers of this Christmas rose. - Garden care: Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring.
- Harmful if eaten/skin irritant

Where is Netflix for the Vita?
Posted 25 September
PlayStation Store update: FIFA 14, Ratchet Gladiator, Lone Survivor, more
An array of big titles launch this week, with football mammoth FIFA 14 and free-to-play scrapper Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters leading the way. You may also have noticed a special drop yesterday of Lone Survivor, available for PS3 and PSVita.
Those who purchased Ratchet and Clank QForce on PS3 between 30th November 2012 and 21st May 2013 will receive an email containing a voucher to redeem the game at no additional cost.
PS Plus subscribers, what a treat October will be for you. Far Cry 3, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Street Fighter x Tekken (Vita) and one of my favourites of this gen, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen! All this and more are into October's line up, available for download today, providing you with a seriously good selection of awesome games to get stuck into.
The Warzone sale and Guitar Hero/DJ Hero sale continue for one more week, so snap up anything you haven't soon! You'll also have a chance to get hold of Splinter Cell Blacklist at a heavily reduced price over the weekend, so keep an eye out for that.
Last but not least, there's still one more week left to get your pre-order in for rain, so if you haven't managed to get on it yet maybe now might be the time and make sure you have enough funds in your wallet, or you'll lose out on the extra goodies.
Finally, please be aware that there is PlayStation Network maintenance planned for this evening, between 6:15pm and 12:15am BST. You will not be able to make any purchases during this time, though if you are signed in before the maintenance begins you should be able to continue online play. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

Any idea of when those of us who are expecting codes for Ratchet: Gladiator are gonna get them?
please tell me where is nba2k14?the game comes out on tuesday ,before the next store update?do i have to buy it on retail?please respond.
And who is stalling its release, Sony Europe or Netflix themselves?
where are the DOA5U "ultimate sexy" dlc's?? -.-
Happy to see Gladiator in the store! Hoping to receive the email with the code to dowload it for free asap!
Is qforce owners getting ratchet gladiators free?
Yes! Finally Can't wait for my Ratchet Gladiator Code to come through! Also PS Plus is amazing in October looking forward to playing Dragon's Dogma and Far Cry 3.
Is the maintenance still going on , if so what time is it due to be finished.
£44.99 for a kit update on Fifa 13 vita?
Shall wait for my Ratchet Gladiator code. Nothing else interests me in the store today, not even any of the PS Plus stuff (wish SF X Tekken was the PS3 version).
Almost surreal to see Ratchet Gladiator finally hit the store, do we have to wait for codes or will this show up on our registered discs benefits Jawad.
Sorry only a question bro and i need you to answer me with your deeply honest i just wanted to ask if beyond two souls demo will come to Greece because i thought that the demo was going to come for all ps plus subscibers and not for specific countries please i need an answer.Thanx and have a nice day.
Are you serious?! STILL no One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 dlc for the EU? USA has had 3 weeks of dlc now and they got the game AFTER us!
Finaly ratchet gladiator! and just when i gave up too! 1 question tho: will those who bought qforce still get it free? thanks
Can we please get those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows Avatars the US store got yesterday? I want them really bad!! Thanks.
I just noticed that Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut is listed in this update for the PS3, but not for the Vita. Is there a particular reason for this or is it a mistake in the listing?
Jason (Vita Player Reviewer)
@Jawad please, tell me you have news about Atelier Meruru Plus in Russia(
Well, PSN is having maintenance now, so this is pretty useless..
Anyways, are the codes for Gladiator HD far away?
I am not happy at all. What the hell do you think you are playing at with the Beyond Demo? In the UK you expect us to pre-order it from the worst company in the country to play it today yet German, Italy, Spain and Poland get it for doing nothing more than having plus? I demand it gets put on here immediately. I have seen them go without stuff in the past because of age restrictions etc and they have always been compensated so what the hell is going on. I am very tempted to ignore this game until I can find it pre-owned so neither you or the rest of the bad decision team can get any of my money from it. What an absolute joke.
Woo, Ratchet Gladiator. We should be getting an email: this is from the email with the Motorstorm voucher in.
"We will also provide you with a free download of Ratchet: Gladiator on PlayStation®3 when it releases on PlayStation Store. You will receive more information on this in a further email."
So, watch your inbox, I suppose.
Problem: I can't claim touch my katamari under my Plus membership because apparently I have an EU voucher discount on that game. Is there any way for me to get the game via Plus seeing as I am a plus member?
Can someone please explain why it's taking so long for netflix to come to vita??
ps any word on the vita version of terraria?
I don't we'll get it free even though we bought qforce, tis only feeling hmphhh
so just like counter strike yugioh is gonna be covered up and never released here at this rate?
Just a shoutout to let you guys know that October PS+ line-up is spectacular!
So many negative comments recently (ignore my ramblings under Lone Survivor post…), I felt the need to high-five you for PS+ offering.
@Jawad, any news regarding Disgaea D2 release on the 27th of September. Will it be disc only or will there be a online release, I would prefer to buy it online but to my knowledge no information has been given about that, if you could clear things up it would be awesome.
Thank you.
Wow £45 for vita fifa.
I heard that this was just cosmetic changes only. Can anyone confirm that there are any substantial updates?
I'm in the same boat as #21… Can't buy Katamari due to a 10 EUR discount that I never used (was a voucher in Ridge Racer if I remember correctly) Can this be removed so I can get the PS+ download please.
thanks for the update on ratchet jawad.
what was the reason for sole survivor going on the store before the update?
When are we getting more PS1 games?
there is zero new gameplay in fifa 14.
its a reskin to add new kits and update squads.
apart from that its the EXACT same game as the last 2 fifa titles on vita
Er, everyone that been asking can you not see the red bit about ratchet gladiator, we get a e-mail with the code to put in when the mainentace has ended, for the 2nd time no more asking about a ratchet game because its here
What time will Apocalypse DLC for CoD Black Ops 2 be available for download? Please respond
Any one able to confirm cross buy for Lone Survivor is actually working? No mention of it on the PS3 description, vita listing says "cross platform". Had issues with Kickbeat last week not showing / downloading correctly.
any news on TMNT out of the shadows jaw said 25th
BEYOND: Two Souls demo ([b]Exclusive to[/b] Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland)
any chance of iplayer being added to vita?
should i email bbc?
Any chance Netflix app will come to the VIta in the EU, I'm pretty sure it is out in the US, how come we haven't heard anything about it over here for ages?
Also, any chance we will get more PS1 compatible games for Vita, there's a ton already of course, but more is never a bad thing. Some more PS1 games would be great, where are the Strike games (nuclear/soviet) that are on the US store and Vita compatible but no hint over here, and Future Cop is available here but only works on Vita over there and not here. Why no GTA1/London/2 either, Rockstar North is based here in the UK, I doubt people wouldn't want to pick up these classics.
will the ratchet code work in aus? thanks
Guys, Its clearly an issue that Netflix is still not out on Vita,
I don#t know whos fault it is but I am sure the community would really appreciate it if you could make a call and ask
we don't have the contacts that you have, even if its not coming out for a year someone knows im sure.
Please could we have an update on this
Many Thanks
Nice update.
When we will receive Ratchet Gladiator codes ?
Will we ever get any DLC for One Piece Pirate Warriors 2?
Sweet update, glad I held off on getting Dragon's Dogma. My plus sub ended a week or so ago, will def have to resub soon. Any chance of the following ever coming to the IGC;
– Dishonored
– Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
– Rainbow Moon
– Ibb and Obb
– Playstation All Stars Battle Royale
– (perhaps in due time even Diablo 3?)
When trying to download Touch My Katamari I get the following error:
You are not able to purchase this product for the following reason(s):
You already own
Touch My Katamari (10 EUR discount)
Please can you fix this? I have the discount in my service list for some reason but obviously this is useless to me, I am completely blocked from downloading the game
i realy starting to doubt that we will be seeing the Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Sexy DLC. Thank you sony eu
Yet another week without Vita sales. Good job SCEE.
6 months…
That's how long it's taken to get the EU version of Ratchet: Gladiator.
Ratchet: Deadlocked (US counterpart) has been available since May.
That code better materialise soon. I've waited long enough.
And I refuse to pay £12 for a game the US have had for 6 months at $10 (just over £6).
It's an extortionate price.
Especially considering the wait.
Man, I hope I get my Ratchet Gladiator code soon!
Next week, Are you a gamer Jawad? Do you remember how long the week before GTA V was?

I asked the same question weeks ago, the manual is very confusing on this. (I am a manual reader too) It says you must do it to protect your truck, you guys say it will destroy it. I love how helpful Toyota has been. I don't see how driving 10 mi in 4wd could help the truck that much. What is a NOOB to 4WD to do.
Best thing to do if you want to use 4wd for 10 miles each month is find a nice off road trail with a loose surface.

+ - Aaron Swartz, suicide.->
Ralph Spoilsport
Ralph Spoilsport (673134) writes "Aaron Swartz committed suicide. As a teenager, he helped create an early version of RSS and later played a key role in stopping a controversial online piracy bill in Congress. He also downloaded zillions of articles from JSTOR. JSTOR declined to press charges. MIT, where it happened, gave less of a clear signal, so the Feds went after him. They wanted him bad for his efforts re: RECAP, a system that gave Americans access to their own (public domain) case-law. He was arrested and charged with felonies. He committed suicide two years to the day of his arrest. Lessig gives his testimonial here and Cory Doctorow gives tribute to this young tragic genius here. This is an enormous tragedy and blow to Access To Knowledge activists the world over."

Why is marijuana still illegal?
I respectfully disagree with the overall opinion of the writer of "Selling pot is still against law"(July 1, Letters), but would really like to know what "good reason" there is for marijuana to remain classified a schedule 1 illegal drug.
Schedule 1 drugs are deemed unsafe, having a high potential for abuse and having no medical value. While I agree the potential for abuse is accurate, perhaps some science- backed facts on the dangers of heavy use to the body would have helped your opinion. Or testimony from former patients who have discontinued use of cannabis due to the realization that their conditions weren't being benefited. And since I doubt that all those idiots rushing to work on my morning commute risking their lives as well as mine are stoned, I suggest adding caffeine to the schedule 1 drug list, since it's three for three on the requirements.

Detroit Tigers vs. Seattle Mariners
1* on Seattle Mariners -138
Detroit is 21-34 (-18.1 Units) against the money line vs. an AL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.300 to 1.400 over the last 3 seasons. That's what the Tigers are facing in Erik Bedard of the Mariners tonight. Bedard is undefeated in his last 3 starts with a 1.84 ERA. Bedard has been brilliant at home, posing a 3-2 record and a 2.30 ERA in seven home starts. Bedard is 10-1 (+9.9 Units) against the money line in July games over the last 3 seasons. Bedard is clearly at his best at this time of year and we'll back him tonight in a home win over the Tigers. Take Seattle on the Money Line.

Oakland Athletics vs. Chicago White Sox
3* on Chicago White Sox -154
The White Sox finally ended their winning streak last night in a one-run loss to the A's, but they'll get a new streak started Friday. Play Against - All underdogs with a money line of +125 to +175 (OAKLAND) - poor AL hitting team (AVG <=.260) against a team with a good bullpen (ERA <=3.75), playing on Friday. This is a 42-8 ML System hitting 84% over the last 5 seasons. Play On - All favorites with a money line of -110 or higher (CHI WHITE SOX) - below average hitting team (AVG <=.265) against an average starting pitcher (ERA=4.70 to 5.70) -AL, with a hot starting pitcher- WHIP <= 1.000 over his last 3 starts. This is a 40-12 ML System hitting 76.9% over the last 5 seasons in favor of the Sox. Bet Chicago at home.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Scott Spreitzer's **GRAND SLAM GAME OF THE YEAR!** (7-2, 78% Run!)
I'm laying the price with the White Sox on Friday night. Chicago had their win streak snapped last night, but are in prime position to begin a new one on the 4th. First of all, Mark Buehrle will be shooting for his 5th straight win. He's been practically untouchable in eight of his last nine starts. In fact, take out the anomaly on May 27, and you'll find that the veteran lefty has allowed just 10 earned runs and 46 hits in the eight strong starts, spanning 58 2/3 innings. That's a nasty 1.53 ERA to go along with a 1.04 WHIP. Buehrle has made seven home night starts in '08, and he's sporting a sparkling 2.96 ERA! I expect great numbers once again, facing an Oakland lineup that's averaged just 3.2 runs per game in six road night tries against southpaws. Overall, the A's are 3-9 in 12 road tilts against lefthanders, scoring an anemic, 2.50 runs per game. That won't be enough to cover Joe Blanton. The Oakland righty has a hefty 6.75 road ERA this season with a BAA approaching .300! He's even worse when those road games are under the lights. In four road night games this season, Blanton has been tagged for a 7.99 ERA! He'll be a sitting duck for a White Sox squad that's 18-7 at home against righthanders, scoring 6.48 runs per game. Game one went to the A's...but game two goes to the "Southsiders" in blowout fashion. My AL Grand Slam GOY is a play on the White Sox on Friday.
Scott Spreitzer's 25* MLB AFTERNOON ANNIHILATOR! (80% run with 25* plays)
I'm laying the short price with the Mariners on Friday. Let's toss out a couple of misleading stats right off the bat. First of all, Rogers looks better on paper in his most recent starts than he did when he began the season. While that's true in general, Rogers has been horrible in road day action in 2008. The Tigers have dropped all four of those starts and Rogers has been tapped for an 8.85 ERA. He's lasting less than five innings per road day start and the veteran lefty has allowed an average of 19.6 hits/walks per nine innings pitched. The second misleading stat is the Tigers' offensive numbers against lefties. While they own great stats overall, they're scoring a flat 4 runs per game when those outings have been daytime road tilts. Erik Bedard counters for the home team. He's pitched well, allowing two earned runs or less in five of his last six starts. Bedard owns a 2.30 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and .217 BAA in seven starts at SAFECO this season. Finally, while Rogers struggles dramatically in this situation (as mentioned above) Bedard has fared quite well. In three afternoon outings this season, Bedard owns a fantastic 1.72 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and .154 BAA! Combined with Seattle's 6.3 runs per game average against lefties in home day action and we have a great spot for the short fave. My Afternoon Annihilator is a play on Seattle.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Larry Ness' Rivalry Showdown (Cubs/Cards)
My Rivalry Showdown is on the StL Cards at 8:15 ET. The Cubs and Cards own one of MLB's best rivalries and this is an important three-game series, as the Cubs wrap-up a 10-game road trip. Chicago lost 8-3 yesterday in San Francisco, failing to win another road series. After splitting the four-game series with the Giants (who own MLB's worst home record), the Cubs are 2-5 on their current trip, 18-25 on the road this year and have been able to win just THREE of 14 road series in '08. Carlos Zambrano will take the mound, making his first appearance since June 18. He's been on the DL with a right shoulder sprain and manager Lou Piniella is hoping for 85 to 90 pitches from his ace. "If he does well he can pitch six innings for us," Piniella said. Zambrano is 8-3 with a 3.13 ERA on the season in 16 starts (team is 10-6) but was 0-2 with a 5.75 ERA in the three starts prior to him going on the DL. His home ERA is 2.40 this year but his road ERA is 4.08, as in his last two road starts he allowed 13 hits and seven ERs in 6.2 innings in LA vs the Dodgers and seven hits and four ERs in 6.2 innings at Tampa vs the Rays. At 49-38, the Cards have been a big surprise this year but by now it's obvious, St Louis is a pretty good club. Braden Looper gets the start and the converted reliever owns a 2.49 ERA over his last four outings (team is 3-1) and is 9-5 on the year (4.26 ERA). This is his first start vs the Cubs in '08 but last year (in his first season as a starter), he faced the Cubbies four times, allowing only five ERs in 27 innings for a 1.67 ERA. Who knows what to expect from Zambrano but we know the Cubs are a far different team away from Wrigley. While they are 24-7 vs right-handers in the "friendly confines" (averaging 5.5 RPG), they are just 10-18 on the road vs righties, scoring almost two runs per game less (3.7). Looper handled this lineup last year and will do so again here. Rivalry Showdown on the StL Cardinals.
Larry Ness' 15* AL Game of the Week (45-32 with GOW plays since Opening Day)
My 15* play is on the Chi White Sox at 7:05 ET. Javier Vazquez threw a complete game last night, allowing just four hits while striking out 10. However, two of the hits were HRs and the three runs he allowed were enough to end Chicago's seven-game winning streak (nine straight home wins), as Oakland's Justin Duchscherer (MLB's ERA leader) and two relievers held the White Sox to two runs. Don't expect a similar result tonight. The White Sox have won 18 of their last 21 home games and tonight will not be facing Duchscherer, but rather the struggling Joe Blanton. Blanton comes in with a 4-11 mark (4.97 ERA), after going 1-5 with a 7.49 ERA in his last six starts. He's been MLB's biggest loser at home (he's 2-8 and the A's are 3-10 in his 13 home starts) but note that his home ERA is 4.32, compared to his road ERA of 6.75! The White Sox will start lefty Mark Buehrle. Buehrle won 81 games for Chicago in the five-year span of 2001-05 (team won World series in '05) but the last two season has gone just 22-22. He opened the '08 season struggling as well with a 5.81 ERA over his first eight starts (he was 1-5 and the team 2-6). However, in mid-May Buehrle regained his form and over his last nine starts is 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA (team is 6-3). He's been nearly unhittable in his last five outings, going 4-0 (team is 4-1) while allowing only five ERs over 39 innings (1.15 ERA!). The clincher in this game is that the A's have really struggled vs lefties on the road this year, going 3-9 while averaging a pathetic 2.5 RPG. By the way, the White Sox are 18-7 at home vs right-handers. AL Game of the Week 15* Chi White Sox.
Larry Ness' Las Vegas Insider-MLB (18-12 with MLB Insiders since May 26)
My Las Vegas Insider is on the Min Twins at 7:10 ET. The Indians won 96 games last year and were one win away from a World Series appearance (led Boston 3-1 in the ALCS but lost three straight games). The '08 Indians look NOTHING like last year's team. They open this three-game series with the Twins on a five-game losing streak and in last-place in the AL Central (37-48), 12 games behind the White Sox. The Indians own the AL's worst road record (15-26) and even trail the Royals (who won 69 games in '07) by 1 1/2-games! Paul Byrd takes the mound for Cleveland tonight and one could point to his 10-4 career mark against the Twins, as a reason the Indians are in good shape for this game. I'll even add that he's 6-1 with a 2.03 ERA in 10 starts at the Metrodome against the Twins. However, I'm filing all those things under "old news!" Byrd lasted just three innings vs the Twins in Cleveland on June 11, allowing six runs (five ERs) in an 8-5 loss (his shortest career outing versus Minnesota). That began a four-game slide for him in which he's allowed 28 hits and 18 ERs over 20 innings, for an 8.10 ERA. He's 3-9 with a 5.26 ERA in 16 starts this year (team is 4-12) and that includes a 1-7 mark with a 6.89 ERA in his nine road starts (team is 1-8). It also doesn't help Cleveland's outlook to point out that the team's bullpen owns the second-worst ERA in MLB in '08 at 4.85 and is 0-2 with one blown save (5.52 ERA) during the Indians' current five-game losing streak. Byrd and the Cleveland bullpen will face the red-hot Twins tonight, a team which has gone 15-3 over its last 18 games, averaging 5.94 RPG. The Twins are 31-16 at home in '08, averaging 4.83 RPG. Livan Hernandez gets the start for Minnesota. He opened his first-ever AL season pitching very well, allowing three ERs or less in seven of his first 10 starts in '08 (team went 8-2). However, he's allowed four ERs or more in six of his last eight outings. That being said, he's facing the Indians here, a team which is hitting an AL-low .247(also remember that AL-worst 15-26 road record). Hernandez owns a 4.00 ERA in 10 home starts and that's been good enough for the Twins to go 8-2 in those starts. Las Vegas Insider on the Min Twins.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
BIG AL's 4TH OF JULY UNDERDOG ANNIHILATOR!
At 4:10pm our selection is on the Detroit Tigers over the Seattle Mariners. Here is a battle of lefthanders that should be very interesting. 40+ year-old Kenny Rogers will take the mound for the Tigers to face the pitcher that many consider to be the best southpaw in the AL, Erik Bedard. Despite his very good individual numbers, Bedard has had a rough campaign with the Mariners so far (his first with this team) as he has battled injuries and inconsistencies throughout the first half. He also went from playing for a team with a some half-decent run scoring capabilites (the Orioles) to the worst offensive squad in the American League if not the Majors. Kenny Rogers has been just the opposite of Bedard. While his overall numbers are anything but spectacular, Rogers has been one of the most durable and consistent performers for his team so far in 2008. He has seventeen starts already for Detroit, and he has quality starts in six of his last seven trips to the mound. Detroit may be an underdog in this game, but you'd never know it looking at its record vs. Seattle recently. With their win on Thursday, the Tigers are now 8-2 in the last ten games vs. this Seattle squad, and they're also 16-5 vs. lefty starters this season. Take Detroit.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Bryan Leonard
Oakland Athletics @ Chicago White Sox
PICK: Chicago White Sox
Big hitting mismatch in this one as the A's have struggled mightily on the road vs left-handed starters. Oakland manages just 3.09 runs per game in this scenario. Chicago on the other hand has raked at home vs righties. They average a robust 6.55 runs per game here vs right-handed starters.
Oakland will send struggling righty Joe Blanton to the hill. The A's are just 5-13 when he has started in 2008. In his last eight starts Blanton has allowed 35 earned runs in just 45.2 innings of work. He has a 6.75 ERA on the road this season.
Chicago counters with veteran lefty Mark Buehrle who is on fire as of late. In his last nine starts eight have been quality starts. Over his last five outings he has allowed five earned runs in 39 innings of work. He is going deep in these games giving the Chicago bullpen a well deserved rest.
The White Sox had their seven game winning streak broken yesterday, but they start a new one tonight.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Michael Alexander
Cleveland Indians vs. Minnesota
Play: Minnesota Twins
The Cleveland Indians hope to right the ship tonight as they begin a three game weekend set versus the Minnesota Twins. The Indians are in the midst of a very disappointing season as they sit in last place a full 12 games in back of the front running Chicago White Sox. They currently have lost five in a row and 8 of their last 10 posting only a 37-48 mark.
Tonight they will send veteran right-hander, Paul Byrd, to the hill in an effort to get back on the winning track. However, it looks to be a tall order as Byrd himself is having a horrible season going only 3-9 overall including a horrendous 1-7 mark on the road with an astronomical 6.89 ERA. He has had success versus the Twins in his career posting an impressive 10-4 record.
The Minnesota Twins come into this game off of a two game winning streak and have won 10 of their last 12 overall to put them into the thick of things in the AL Central. Their recent success has put them only 2 games in back of the White Sox with a 47-38 mark. Over their winning streaks the Twins have torn the cover off the ball posting a .329 team batting average.
Tonight they too will send a veteran to the hill in Livian Hernandez who has been tough at home posting a 6-1 record. He has been very tough over his last three starts going 2-1 with a very good 2.57 ERA.
SUPPORTING TRENDS: CLEVELAND is 4-17 (-17.6 Units) against the money line after a loss by 2 runs or less this season. MINNESOTA is 6-0 (+7.4 Units) against the money line with an on base percentage of .393 or better over their last 3 games this season. MINNESOTA is 12-5 (+8.8 Units) against the money line after allowing 1 run or less this season.
You have a very hot team in Minnesota, at home, taking on a Cleveland team that is struggling and is listed as a very reasonable favorite. I'm taking Minnesota in this one.

Acqua's Ragu alla Bolognese: 100 Favorite Dishes
As a countdown to the Best of the Twin Cities 2010, coming this spring, The Hot Dish is serving up a hundred of our favorite local dishes. Send your own nominations to email@example.com.
Ariella Schreck |
No. 39: Acqua's Ragu alla Bolognese
It's not *quite* warm enough to pack away the hats, scarves, and long underwear for the season, so you'll have to hold off on your visions of watermelon daiquiris, canoe trips, and suntanned legs. At least the still-chilly temps mean there's time to indulge in one of our favorite hearty treats, ragu alla Bolognese. Acqua, whose kitchen and front-of-the-house are run by Chris Whalen and Daron Close, formerly of the now-shuttered Uptown Campiello, serves an excellent version of the famed Italian sauce. It's slow-cooked for about four hours, and knocks out a triple play of umami-rich flavors between the meat, tomato, and Parmesan cheese. And even if the ragu alla Bolognese comes off the menu when the weather warms up, Acqua's pretty lakefront patio is still worth a trip.

Only a few years back La On consisted of a few mom & pop stores, roadside restaurants and a German 'imbiss' establishment. Nowadays you can eat pretty much any international dish here, shop till you drop and even grab a Big Mac 24 hours round the clock. Still, La On isn't exactly Pattaya or Patong and it's all the better for it. One thing's for sure: if you're looking for cheap sunglasses, beachwear, pirated DVD's and the like you won't have far to look in La On.
On the practical side of things, La On has many banks and ATM machines. Banks in Thailand are open from 08:30 – 15:30 (for a Western Union branch you'll have to go to Takuapa). Most resorts run shuttle services to La On, some free some not.
The good thing about 7-Eleven is that it remains open 24 hours a day and prices remain the same irrespective of whether the shop is in a tourist destination or not. La On's '7' is on Highway 4 running through the centre. Please note that Thai law allows the sale of alcohol only between 11:00 – 14:00 and 17:00 – 24:00. 7-Eleven strictly adheres to this law so if you are going on a booze run consider this first.
Opening Hours: 24/7
Location: Highway 4, downtown La On
This is the place to go in Khao Lak if you're looking for a beach read, travel guide or magazines. Air conditioned and well laid out, it's a pleasure to shop at Book Tree. With a good selection of languages – and taking into account Khao Lak's many Scandinavian visitors – Book Tree more than fits the bill.
Opening Hours: 09:00 – 24:00
Location: Northern La On by Chok Dee Seafood
A stylish shop, selling good quality cutlery, dishes, vases, tea sets, lamps and other attractive household accessories, Kanyarak has gone to great lengths in making itself one of the classiest stores in the area. Stretching from the street into Nangthong Plaza, Kanyarak is a treasure trove of quality Asian items. Credit cards accepted.
Opening Hours: 17:00 – 23:00
Location: Nangthong Shopping Plaza
Confusingly, Khao Lak has two Center Points: this is the older one and it has seen better days. It houses a standard beachwear/beach toy shop selling all sorts of watersports-related paraphernalia, jeans and T-shirts, pirated DVD's and lots of stuff you probably don't need but is so cheap you'd better buy just in case. If you are planning to go on a day trip to nearby islands or to do some kayaking, the snap-shut plastic protection bags to hold your electronic goods in are a good buy. Center Point is also home to a watch repair service, just in case your Rolex Oyster is playing up.
Opening Hours: 12:00 – 23:00
Location: Central La On
Another girlie boutique, but this time with a bit of class, Jaoying deals in upper-market clothing and accessories and even has bolts of "100% Thai silk" and wall hangings along with tasteful knick-knacks such as freshwater pearls and the ubiquitous wooden elephants. Also dealing in Thai silver, Jaoying is a versatile all rounder that's definitely worth a visit.
Opening Hours: 10:30 – 23:00
Location: Central La On
With literally piles of clothes outside of the boutique, My Style certainly doesn't lack for stock. The shop sells ladies clothing but you can also pick up fashionable handbags and accessories here. We're not talking Hi-So, high-quality fashion gear – more like something to pick up as holiday gear.
Opening Hours: 16:00 – 22:00
Location: Main Street (Highway 4)
This two-storey shopping centre features the usual optician shop, several fashion outlets, a gold shop, a jeans-and-T-shirt shop, a ground floor bar/café with live music, a health and beauty shop, a 'community products' outlet and several handicrafts and jewelry stores.
Opening Hours: Opening times vary
Location: Central La On
At the last count there were 15+ opticians along the main drag in La On. Even though it looks faintly ridiculous to the western eye to have so many in one strip it's your gain as their competition means that it's a buyer's market. Prices are much cheaper than in the west and two-for-one, or even three-for-the-price-of-one bargains are rife.
Opening Hours: 10:00 – 22:00
Location: Along Highway 4 either side of the road
There are probably more tailors than opticians in La On, and that's really saying something. Two of the best are located close to each other in the centre of La On and offer excellent quality and a wide range of styles and textiles. The golden rule is to allow enough time for the tailor to make a perfect fit and not to accept rushed jobs. James Fashion and Creative Khao Lak Tailors are both in between the Khao Lak Center (not to be confused with Khao Lak Center Point Bazar further up the road) and Ruen Mai Plaza and they refuse to carry out the infamous 24-hour jobs that some Bangkok tailors are known for.
Opening Hours: 12:00 – 22:00
Location: By Ruen Mai Plaza on Highway 4 and Center Point

Respond to Review of Clear Head - Lehka Hlava
by GUEST
Review: This place is truly exceptional and I wish it could be transplanted to New York (and given the wealth of great vegetraian cuisine here, that is high praise!) Reservations are definitely [and justifiably] recommended. Nice staff, beautiful & distinctive decor, and the food is fresh, bountiful, delicious and cheeeeep--a two-course dinner plus the absolutely SUBLIME drink-that-eats-like-a-meal "Aztec Hot Chocolate" ran about $12 USD total. What a gem--AND I discovered it through this very site!

Will Sox Look To The Prodigal 'Master-Son'?
Masterson At A Past Red Sox Event (FN Photo)
According to a report by the
's Peter Abraham,
the Red Sox may be considering bringing back
Justin Masterson
—either as a starter or reliever. Masterson was traded to the Indians for
Victor Martinez
, and the 28-year old has been a serviceable member of the Tribe's rotation ever since. An sub-par 2012 could make him available—although new Cleveland Manager
Terry Francona
obviously knows his potential. This move might make sense, since the team will likely have to throw eight or ten pitchers against the Spring Training Wall to end up with five on Opening Day.

Kim, K.B., Zhang, Y., Warren, P.J. and Cantor, B. (2003) Crystallization behaviour in a new multicomponent Ti 16.6 Zr 16.6 Hf 16.6 Ni 20 Cu 20 Al 10 metallic glass developed by the equiatomic substitution technique. Philosophical Magazine, 83 (20). pp. 2371-2381. ISSN 1478-6435
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
A new amorphous Ti16.6Zr16.6Hf16.6Ni20Cu20A110 alloy has been developed using the novel equiatomic substitution technique. Melt spinning Ti16.6Zr16.6Hf16.6Ni20Cu20A110 forms an amorphous phase with a large supercooled liquid region, ΔT=70°C. After isothermal annealing within the supercooled liquid region for 3 h at 470°C, the amorphous alloy crystallizes to form a fine-scale distribution of 2-5 nm nanocrystals, and the supercooled liquid region increases to ΔT=108°C. Atomic-scale compositional analysis of this partially crystalline material using a three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) is unable to detect any compositional difference between the nanocrystals and the remaining amorphous phase. After annealing for 1 hr at 620°C, the amorphous alloy crystallizes to form 20-50nm equiaxed grains of a hexagonal-type C14 Laves phase with lattice parameters a = 5.2Aring and c = 9.0 Aring. 3DAP analysis shows that this Laves phase has a composition very close to that of the initial amorphous phase, suggesting that the alloy crystallizes via a polymorphic rather than a primary crystallization mechanism, despite the complexity of the alloy composition.

Return Laser Pulses
February 16, 2011
Researchers at Princeton University developed a technique for generating a laser beam out of nothing but air. They focus a pump laser on a distant point in the air and another laser beam comes back. The video shows 100 pulses of infra-red light from this "air laser." The center region represents the highest intensity; the outer areas have lower intensity light. The technique could be used for sensing minute quantities of gas in the air from a distance.

Because such conversations are difficult, most of us avoid them until we're faced with a crisis. Many of us look to the older person's physician or drivers' licensing agency to help out. Although outside agents can play a part in the conversation, family and friends also play a major role in these difficult discussions. In addition, family will likely live with the consequences of these discussions for years to come.
Ideally, it would help to have these conversations when there was no crisis looming. But very few people want to plan ahead for the time when they must limit or stop driving their own car.

Cooperative Board Game Set
3 - 5 years. Cooperative games eliminate stress, build self-esteem, and teach kids that playing together can be fun! Unlike a traditional game where there is only one winner, in a cooperative game the players work as a team against a common obstacle, not against each other. Children learn to share, make decisions together, and play together in respectful and compassionate ways.

NIGHTWISH singer Anette Olzon has launched a MySpace page where she has posted two demo tracks that she recorded in 2009 for what was supposed to become her debut solo album. She says, "The songs are not mixed or produced, just recorded in the moment, and therefore are very rough songs. But I still want you to hear them since I am proud of them and I think they show another part of me than you hear in NIGHTWISH." She adds, "The first song is called 'Floating' and I call it the 'circus' song. It gives me a happy feeling and the vibe in it is happy and joyful. The second song ['Invincible'] is a song I wrote for my son and therefore it's very special to me."

Refuge visitors center seeking guests
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service visited the Community Resource Council on Wednesday to create more awareness of its visitors center at the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge.
"We are still in the stage of trying to get the word out to the community," said Madeline Yancey, a visitors services park ranger. "We are building up our environmental ed. program and our visitors services program. We want people to take advantage of this resource and help us get the word out that it is there."
The San Luis National Wildlife Refuge Complex Headquarters and Visitors Center, built with $9.8 million of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act money, opened to the public in 2011. The center has allowed the public to have a gathering space to learn about the wildlife that live on or visit the refuge during the year.
Yancey said while there are no official statistics on how many people have used the center since it opened, she sometimes interacts with as many as 140 people on Saturdays at the facility. The refuge is regarded by many as one of the biggest environmental tourist attractions near Los Banos. The facility is popular with birders, duck hunters, people who like viewing tule elk and others.
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the only agency that was established specifically for preserving and protecting wildlife," Yancey said. "Other nations that have unique wildlife in their country are beginning to realize if they keep exploiting the resources for consumptive purposes, eventually those resources are going to run out."
Yancey said the loss of wildlife equates to a loss of eco-tourisim dollars.
"There are people who travel from all over the world to some of these wonderful places in the world who have unique plant and animals ... and they pay money to do it," Yancey said.
According to a 2007 report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Division of Economics, each visitor to the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge will spend an average of $62 locally and will generate about $11 in tax revenue.
Yancey said the refuge welcomes people who want to learn about local species, school groups and others.
The San Luis Wildlife Refuge is seven miles off Wolfsen Road. For more information, call (209) 826-3508 or visit www.fws.gov/refuge/

Biographical SketchRick Bass is a writer and environmental activist. He was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1958, but spent much of his youth in Houston. He graduated from Utah State with a degree in geology and then worked as a petroleum geologist in Mississippi. In 1987 Bass moved to Montana and began writing full-time. He is the author of numerous short stories, novels, memoirs and essays. Much of his work focuses on the reasoned benefits of preserving wilderness areas, such as the roadless Yaak Valley of Montana, where he and his family live. A list of his publications includes:
Scope and ContentsThe collection is composed mostly of the literary works and research materials of Rick Bass. Literary works are in original manuscripts, galleys, proofs, and other revised draft copies. Some materials are business correspondence and scrapbook materials. The correspondence reflects Bass's activities with literary agents, book and magazine publishers, and conferences he attended. Some correspondence is fan mail. The holograph notebooks, conservation papers, and environmental reports make up the research materials gathered by Rick Bass. The holograph notebooks are original hand notes of Bass's stories and books. About six boxes have files concerning his participation with the Yaak Valley Forest Council.

For those of you who pray, PLEASE pray for me! I am so stressed out right now as I am trying to finish up assignments for graduation and my dad is being so ignorant to me by wanting me to serve food for my mom when I am SO BUSY! He has no idea how much I want to chew him out. It's Chinese food, can't everyone serve themselves?????!!!!!
He just makes me SO mad sometimes! I even called in the order for him, he picked it up. It's not like he has any major deadlines to make that are going to effect the outcome of the entire rest of his life!!!!! What the heck???
I am a generally peaceable person, but when my dad wants me to serve him and I am this busy, I get really really ticked off!
Thanks for listening.... I am so angry with him right now, I'm about to leave and go work on this crap somewhere else!
Thank you! Things are thankfully a lot better now! :)

Has anyone had any luck getting confirmation from the manufacturer about gluten-free sun screen for kids. Hawaiian Tropic cannot guarentee that theirs is. Here' s the response I got from them:
Thank you for your email. With our present raw material information, we
can not say for certain that a product is Gluten-Free. We will not be
able to make any recommendation as to which of our products would be all
right for you to use. Based on this we don't feel it's appropriate for
us to make a recommendation that could affect the health of someone who
is sensitive to gluten.
Also what level of risk are we looking at? Is it that the gluten could be absorbed by the skin and get into his sytem or is it just if he would ingest some of it? (residue on hands, etc...)
Thanks in advance for your help!

It isn't perfect by any means, but I think it's pretty moody and enjoyable. I finally decided to use my piano as a midi controller, and this is more or less just me experimenting with some piano.
It's a tune I've been working on a while though, this is about half of what I eventually have planned for it, though whether or not I'll be able to play the second half any time soon is the real question, it gets much more complicated.
Nevertheless, I hope you guys like the mellow part 1, part 2 won't be so mellow, but it will be a piano solo as well.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Nice melody, but the chord progressions could be a lot smoother. And you could add a bit more variety, it sounds kind of monotonous in the middle (literally meaning one (mono) tone repeated too many times). Possibly you could add a few more parts like a violin or similar instrument. Overall its a very nice beginning to what could become a great piece.
Aye, thanks for the tips! Part two will be a lot more developed, and I'll keep a lot of what you've said in mind.

The Canyons Resort
Primary tabs
Course Details
Course Reviews
The Canyons Resort has added 9 new holes to complete their 18-hole mountain course. After the Gondola ride to the mid-mountain Red Pine Lodge, you can stop for lunch or hop strait on the High Meadow Lift to the first tee.
Pros: It's a ski resort course! Usually 10-20 degree's cooler than the salt lake valley courses. Well marked. You get to ride the Gondola and a chair lift.
Cons: You have to take a Gondola and a chair lift. The high elevation can be tough to get used to witch makes it a very difficult course. Errant shots usually leave you with tough consequences. Overgrown grasses and weeds cover the fairways, making it difficult to find plastic. Spotters are essential on most holes!
Other Thoughts: I'm afraid for the beginner trying disc golf for the first time at this course. With all the Lavish time-share condos and multiple resort hotels, expect to see families and large groups looking for discs. This course will punish them severely due to overgrown foliage, high elevation flight action, and long narrow holes. Beginners should be encouraged to play the back nine.

Day Boat Scallops "Poisson Cru" Style with Pickled Ginger and Toasted Nori
Author Notes: I first had a version of this dish on the big Island of Hawaii where it was made with ono and mahi-mahi. I loved it so much I wrote down the ingredients on a napkin so I would not forget the basic technique. A bit different from ceviche, the lime is only allowed to quickly penetrate the fish instead of cooking it. Dayboat scallops, ones not treated with chemicals, can actually be found in my local market! The additions of ginger and toasted nori are my touches. Sea vegetables are a thriving business on the Mendocino coast. The coconut technique is from Mark Bittman; so easy and money-saving. Poisson Cru is meant to be eaten right away; hence I made the recipe for just two. I believe the ingredients could be scaled up proportionally. - Amber Olson
Serves two
- 4 ounces grated unsweetened coconut
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 1/2 pound dayboat scallops, cut into quarters if large
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup peeled, seeded, and small diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced (shaved) sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Maui
- 1 medium ripe tomato, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1 small serrano pepper with seeds, minced
- 1/4 cup thin slices of pickled ginger (preferably from The Ginger People brand), coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- Toasted Nori
- 2 lettuce leaf cups
- Make the coconut milk: Put the coconut and boiling water in a blender. Hold a towel tightly over the lid and pulse a few times to get it mixed up, then blend for a minute or so, redistributing the coconut if necessary. Pour into a strainer over a bowl, let rest a few minutes, then press down firmly on the coconut to extract as much milk as possible. The 1/2 cup you get will be fairly thick. Chill until cold. Measure out 1/4 cup for the final dish. (If you want to make more milk, put the coconut back into the blender, add another 1 1/2 cups boiling water, give it another blend, and proceed as above. The resulting milk will be less thick but have great flavor. I freeze it in cubes to add to smoothies, sauces, etc.)
- Assemble the Poisson Cru: put the scallops in a stainless bowl, add the lime juice and a pinch of salt and combine. Refrigerate, stirring two or three times for 15 minutes. Drain off the lime juice, add 1/4 cup of the coconut milk and the rest of the ingredients except the nori and lettuce, to the bowl along with the scallops. Gently combine. Taste for seasoning. You might want more ginger, pepper, onion or zest. The nori will add the final salty note.
- To serve: arrange the lettuce cups on plates, spoon on the poisson cru and sprinkle with toasted nori to your liking. Garnish with nori shards and cilantro sprigs. Consume immediately.

Hi: 12° Lo:-1°
IF you believe the rumours florists and gardeners are the happiest workers in the UK.
To see if the claim held up, Observer reporter Laura Maltby went along to a flower arranging workshop.
I HAVE to admit, my knowledge of flowers is pretty poor.
To me, flora is what you put on your toast for breakfast and the closest I've ever come to Chelsea would be a trip with my brother to watch the football at Stamford Bridge.
So when I was given the chance to take part in a session with Chelsea Flower Show award-winning designer Sarah Horne, I decided to cast aside all doubt and embrace my inner creative spirit.
Like many others, I was under the impression flower arranging was a hobby for women of a certain age with plenty of time on their hands. Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong.
When I walked through the doors of Victoria House in Leamington I was greeted by a sea of smiles from people of all ages.
From interior designers to young mums, everyone seemed keen to have a go. But just how easy would it be?
The topic for this month's flower school was Aurora Borealis – or the Northern Lights to me and you - and Sarah made it look effortless as she arranged flowers while seamlessly answering questions about their origins.
Just 20 short minutes later and it was our turn.
Approaching the flowers as if they were poisonous, I was more than a little anxious but would you believe it, I'm quite the florist.
Sarah complimented me on my 'natural ability' though in fairness to her, I think she was probably just being nice.
Now I know my arrangement won't be scooping first prize at next year's Chelsea Flower Show, but I will say as soon as I stopped worrying whether the flowers were in the right place, I found it to be a remarkably relaxing activity.
So is it really the best job in the world? Well Sarah seems to think so at least.
"I love my job," she says "I'm very lucky as it has allowed me to travel and see a lot of the world I otherwise wouldn't have.
"We did a wedding in Blenheim Palace a few months ago and last year I went to Chicago to demonstrate in front of more than a thousand florists. The great thing about my job is it's never repetitive and I love that."
She came into the industry more than three decades ago through her mum who always aspired to own a shop and that dream became a reality for Sarah, when the florist opened her very own shop in Warwick Street.
Aside from providing flowers for everyday occasions, Sarah runs workshops every month and is keen to encourage anyone to come along and try their hand at the activity.
And having done it myself, for all those doubters out there I would say don't knock it til you've tried it.

At a conference a year ago I heard a great idea- paint a "mural" on foam insulation boards. I can't find my notes and am not quite sure how to go about hanging it so that I could take it down easily with little damage so that I could paint on it again next year possibly. Have you done or seen anything like that before? How can I hang that onto a brick wall in an easy and sturdy manner? Thanks!
(BTW, I did one last fire with my kiln this week and NOTHING BROKE! Thanks for all your great suggestions - it was such an amazing feeling to open it and see their work safe and sound! (now if they can get it home without breaking it...hahah)

piet mondrianDoes anyone have a record about mondrians commercial work. I have the Broadway Boogie Woogie 1942-43, size 21"x21". I believe this is an authorized reproduction on canvas purchase about 50 years ago. Thank you.
hardboardAnyone have any knowledge of Mondrian's use of Devoe & Raynolds artist board for any of his work, and the date of same artist board-- would it be appropriate for a piece done in 1932?
a mosaic tableI have a mosaic/tile table with a Mondrian design on it (white, black, grays and one square tile is red),Since this table was purchased in Holland by my father mnay years ago...and because my siblings insist that it was made by a known artist...I was wondering if it could be an original of Piet Mondrian. It is not signed, so I believe this could never be verified. Did this artist do anything besides paintings? I'd be interested to know.I look forward to hearing from you. Marijke

To take full advantage of your 6 GIG media card you need this!! Well i find this info on some site and i have tryd it, it works and makes 5.6 gig usable space of a 6 gig media card. SD Memory Card Formatting Software | SD/SDHC Memory Card | Digital AV | Product Support | Support | Panasonic Global enjoy! |
Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry8800/4.2.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100) Nice gonna have to give it a try soon as I get a 6GB card |
Where did u get 6 gb card? Tia |
does this make the 6GB SD card work on a BlackBerry 8310? I tried so many different ways and every time I put on more than 2GB it becomes corrupt |
u have to try it |
So basically this will let you format a card, but you have no idea if it will work on a BlackBerry?? |
hope it helps the owners of 6 and 8 gb cards get some use of them. I got sick of waiting and got a 16gb iPod touch. |
lol^^^ noob. it won't work. he thinks it works but it doesn't. Obviously, he doesn't have more than 2 GB of data on his 6 GB. I bet him a million bux. I want him to take a screenshot on his bb that his media card is more than 2 GB of data of the 6 GB card. |
lol ^^^^^^ |
I have a 4 gig card that is almost full and thats working fine. i have 30 albums on it, 3.2 gigs being used. I just got a 6 gig, and its not working :-( |
