Carr, who is a designated hitter and pitcher, went 7-for-10 in the four games with a 1.4000 slugging percentage, two homers, nine RBIs, four runs and two walks. She also struck out three in a scoreless inning of relief work against Augusta State.
Carr, who helped the Lady Hounds win a state title as their leading pitcher in 2010, began her week by driving in the only run in a 1-0 victory in the first game of a doubleheader against Georgia Southwestern on Wednesday. In the second game, she had a double and a three-run homer.
Against Augusta State on Friday, Carr singled home a run in a 3-1 victory in the first game, then went 3-for-3 with four RBIs and another home run in the second game.

Thanks to caregiver Sherry Sheppard, Thrivent Financial is supporting the 14th Annual Race for The ARK with a $10,000 sponsorship.
Sheppard works as a Thrivent associate in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Her mother, who has early onset Alzheimer's disease, attends The ARK, Alzheimer's Family Support Services, three days each week. Sheppard wants more people who are dealing with this disease to take advantage of the resources The ARK has to offer.
"The ARK has changed our lives," Sheppard explains. "I had to quit work to take care of my 63-year-old mother and was nearly at the end of my rope, not to mention my savings."
Now, she is able to work full-time and her mother is happy and engaged. Sheppard says she will do anything to help The ARK, which provides a range of services to help families dealing with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia.
Since 1999, some 500 runners and walkers each year, from the Lowcountry and beyond, have come to Summerville each year to start their fall racing season and support The ARK. The 2013 Thrivent Financial Race for The ARK is scheduled for 7:45 a.m. Aug. 24 at St. Luke's Lutheran Church, 206 Central Avenue in Summerville.
The 5K run and walk winds through historic downtown Summerville. The first male and first female runner to break the course record will receive a $100 cash prize. The race also features a Corporate Challenge and Lowcountry Youth Challenge.
The Corporate Challenge encourages companies to field a team of five runners for $350. The team with the overall best time takes home the traveling trophy for the year.
The Lowcountry Youth Challenge serves as an early season competition for local high school cross country teams, but other sports teams are also encouraged to compete. The cost is $25 per runner, or $125 per team. Youth runners receive medals and can compete for age group prizes.
In addition to the title sponsorship, Thrivent Financial chapters representing Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Dorchester counties are also supporting the event. Other sponsors include periodontist Dr. Kelly Ford, Steinberg Law Firm, Trident Health Systems and Lutheran Homes. Sponsorships are still available from $50 to $1000.
The course is USATF certified. Registration is $25 with t-shirt or $20 without through Aug. 23. Registration and packet pickup will be available Aug. 23 from noon until 6 p.m. as well as on race day. To preregister, call 832-2357, or visit http://thearkofsc.org/special-events/13th-annual-race-for-the-ark/ or http://www.active.com/running/summerville-sc/race-for-the-ark-2012.

Midwest Living Review
North Dakota is home to 13 state parks. Yet, Fort Ransom -- one of just two in the state's southeast quadrant -- often flies under the radar. Located on the banks of the Sheyenne River 90 miles south of Fargo, Fort Ransom is a touch primitive, but campers (both tent and RV) flock here for a handful of special events (Sodbuster Days twice each summer in the park and the Sheyenne Valley Arts and Craft Association Fall Festival, held annually in the nearby town of Fort Ransom). Otherwise, the park's 950 acres are often quiet, leaving many of the nearly 15 miles of trails practically empty. Visitors should, at a minimum, explore the popular, 1-mile-long Little Twig Trail. Equine enthusiasts will appreciate the volume and variety of shared-use paths throughout the park (daily horse-user fee of $6 per horse). However, the same cannot be said for hikers using those trails, including the Little Twig. Canoe and kayak rentals ($16 per two-hour rental or $50 per day) offer visitors a fabulous opportunity to explore the Sheyenne River. However, river flooding impacts rental availability as well as access to the river and portions of the park. For those not interested in hiking, horses or boating, the Sunne Demonstration Farm provides a glimpse into North Dakota's homesteading heritage. A cluster of historic buildings and farm equipment are easily accessible and worth a look. The site of the original fort, named for Civil War Gen. T.E.G. Ransom, stands 3 miles south of the park.

Things I liked:Gun is built well and comfortable to shoot and hold. Action works well and is fairly smooth. Trigger pull in good for a airsoft rifle. The accuracy was terrible, I tried BB weights from .02 to .04 gms. with no significant difference. Hop up worked but just made the thing more in-accurate. I shot from a bench rest at thirty feet groups were over 12 inches in diameter at 50 ft. the groups were 24 inches or greater evn after changing scopes iI was unable to do any better. The clip is difficult to insert unles it is started just prefectly into the gun. I don't know how they got such great goups in the video but I was un-able to.
Things I would have changed:Do something about the accuracy, otherwise the gun is ok.
What others should know:I would not reccomend this gun as it is now.
Things I liked:Awesome gun, I've had this gun for almost one year. .accurate, I hit a guy from 50-60yds!!
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Get a scope. You will have to put a new spring and hopup system after awhile. Just get the upgrade for the 3rd-4th gen models and you will be set!
Things I liked:all metal barrel and internal parts. long range, great power.
Things I would have changed:larger clip.
What others should know:This gun is great, get it!

Google Play Newsstand coming to an iOS device near you in 2014
We've already got one Newsstand on our iPhones and iPads, and Google it seems wants to be the second. Announced today, Google Play Newsstand is a new product that will be rolling together Google Currents and the until now Android only Google Play Magazines under one banner. The app is Android only at first, though according to Engadget it will also be coming our way sometime next year:
With today's launch, Google is putting the focus on Android, but iOS users will be able to enjoy the fruits of Mountain View's labor as well... eventually. A spokesperson told us that Newsstand will be coming to Apple's mobile OS early next year, primarily as a replacement to Currents. And, while you probably won't be able to purchase subscriptions directly through the app, you will be able to pick up periodicals through the web storefront and have them delivered to your handset or tablet.
Google's Newsstand is more than just magazines since it's able to pull in web content as well. A sort of one stop shop for all your news. Like the recently launched Google Play Music for iPhone, we shouldn't ever expect in-app purchases from Google, since they'd have to hand over a chunk to Apple. So it'll be web shopping only in that regard.
Currents was never the most popular of apps from Google, especially on iOS, but Newsstand looks like a more interesting proposition. Question is; would you use it?

Google Play Newsstand coming to an iOS device near you in 2014
I find this to be an interesting strategy by google, just like how they are importing all other android apps to iOS to increase the user base. I wonder, however, if apple's built-in app strategy will still prevail over google's every app on any device strategy. Maps is one area where they have lost mobile users once apple made their own apps.
Sent from the iMore App
I am right there with you. This move doesn't surprise me. Google has no real loyalty to Android, it has a loyalty to data. Who has the most loyal smartphone customers? Apple. Who controls, what, 40% of the US handset market? Apple, and all of it the "premium" silo. Google would be a fool to ignore us. They don't care where the data comes from, just that they get it.
I don't even use the built in newsstand let a lone googles version of it.
Sent from the iMore App
Google seems to be aligning their strategy similar to Apple. It should make for better products and option. I can't use to many different services. I need everything to be the same on all my devices. I don't want to remember which app an item is located.
Sent from the iMore App
I can already hear Cupertino's lawyers readying the lawsuit for the term "newsstand".
I do have 2 subscriptions on my iPad and enjoy reading magazines in the digital format. Now only if Apple will fix the pinch to close gesture on the iPad's newsstand app.
Sent from the iMore App
I love to use flipboard or site for news. This app may be great for android users
Sent from the iMore App
Wait, are in-app purchases patented by Apple? I'm confused by the "we should never expect..." statement, but I think Google Newsstand would be awesome! Can it pull articles that you save to your book collections (or any reading material from the web) and essentially add it to the newsstand? If so, THAT'S AWESOME! Like an iBooks, iTunes U, Reading List composite!
Sent from the iMore App
Apple takes a cut of in-app purchases. Google isn't going to want to give Apple money :)
Google has shadowed just about all of Apple's stock apps, but I never guessed that they would release an app like this for iOS. Even though I probably won't use Google's version of a newsstand, I am curious to see how it resonates with iOS users overall.
Sent from the iMore App
I tried it on my Nexus 7, I think I'll be sticking with Flipboard for my news feed.
I wish I had more gigs available to use and buy more mags from news stand . It's funny how originally justified getting an ipad by saying I could save on books and magazines by buying digital.
My device is stuffed to the max.
Sent from the iMore App
I will use it since I have magazines on play newsstand. A determining factor whether I get iPad or android tablet. I'm pretty hardcore android but think it might be neat to have android phone and apple tablet (also have iPods). So I'm glad to hear it's coming to App Store.

Preparing for a deployment can be a stressful time for both service members and their families. Occasionally, the military cancels the deployment at the last minute, keeping service members at home. If your deployment has been canceled, you and your family are probably excited and relieved. You may also be feeling overwhelmed at the thought of "undoing" all of the deployment preparations you have made over the last few months. Although it is a lot to rearrange, taking things on one at a time and reaching out for support can make the process more manageable. Remember that your installation, and National Guard and reserve military and family support programs are there also to help you through this process. Many military and family support programs have additional information and resources based upon a large scale deployment being canceled that may assist you. For contact information, you can visit MilitaryINSTALLATIONS.
While preparing for your deployment, you most likely updated important legal and administrative documents, designating certain individuals to address your affairs. Now that the deployment is canceled, you should go back over your documents to see what needs to be changed.
In preparation for deployment, you may have adjusted your family budget or signed up for emergency financial assistance. Now that your deployment has been canceled, you are encouraged to revisit some of your financial preparations to ensure you and your family stay on track.
National Guard and reserve service members who have notified their employer of an upcoming deployment should provide notice that the deployment has been canceled. National Guard and reserve service members are still covered under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act for their time spent on active duty preparing for the deployment. While the protections afforded by the act do not change, the deadlines for reporting back to work or applying for reemployment vary depending on the amount of time you were away on military duties. You can receive further information on the protections and provisions of USERRA through your local legal assistance office.
If your family was planning to move during the deployment, you most likely have some significant housing concerns. Here are some things that you will need to take care of.
While you are managing everything in the wake of your deployment cancellation, know that there are resources available to help you. Reach out to your installation military and family support programs for information and resources related to relocation assistance, non-medical individual and family counseling, personal and family life education, personal financial readiness, information and referral services, spouse education and career opportunities, deployment assistance and exceptional family member services. Legal assistance offices can help you address your legal and administrative affairs. Military OneSource can also help you manage all of the details of your deployment cancellation. Consultants are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by phone at 800-342-9647, online or via email.

My older son had a hankering this week. Don't ask me how or where these desires come from (out of the blue) or what triggers them. When these urges come over him, I have little choice (at the risk of being labeled "Bad Mother") but to drop everything, tie on the apron and mettre la main à la pâte. I best show an unparalleled enthusiasm in his project, stand by, smile on my face, offering guidance and advice when asked, admiration when not. He arrived at the apartment, grabbed the beautiful blue and white cookbook, La Cuisine de Vefa, that he had offered me for a birthday past, and began flipping through it rather single-mindedly and energetically. "Can we make this?" he asked, stabbing his finger at the recipe for Jam Tart.
We set a date and I sent him away, urging him to make sure that he show up with the ingredients needed. He arrived the following day lugging a shopping bag and began emptying it on the counter. I was wondering how much he counted on doing himself or how much of "his" project he expected me to make while he, oh, I don't know, went and curled up on the sofa with the dog. But although he doesn't bake often, when he does decide to prepare a dessert, he does it wholeheartedly. He does make the Best Tiramisu in the World.
He pulled two jars of jam from that bag and placed them on the counter. Wowee! He never settles for anything but the best and I knew he had found these jars of artisan vanilla-infused pear jam in the upscale, specialty section of the supermarket. But when I saw that they were pear, well, I am no fan of pear anything. But I bit my tongue and onward and upward. I left the kitchen for a while and next thing I knew, he had made the dough, calling me in to confirm that it was perfect. A super butter-rich dough, we wrapped it in plastic and allowed it to chill and firm up in the refrigerator. I later showed him how to roll it out, line a pie plate and cut and create a lattice top. And we baked.
He then began preparing his personal touch to the Jam Tart: wedges of ripe Comice pears caramelized in plenty of butter and brown sugar until just colored and tender. As soon as the Tart was baked and out of the oven, the crust and lattice golden and puffed, he placed the hot, caramelized pears all over the top of the tart, drizzling the butter across the whole thing.
We had dinner as the Jam Tart cooled and then… he left to go home, not in the mood for a sweet ending to the meal. And a week past and husband and I – I might not like pears but this was fabulously good! – ate slice and slice, whittling it away to one more wedge and I texted him to no avail. Son absolutely had to make this Pear Jam Tart in all urgency only to leave it for us to devour without him. And he never even tasted it.
I guess that means we will have to make it again.
PEAR JAM TART with BUTTERED CARAMELIZED PEARS
My son's version of a tart from Vefa's Kitchen by Vefa Alexiadou
This is a very butter-rich pie crust and can be difficult and fussy to work with so give it time to chill and firm up in the refrigerator before attempting to roll it out.
For the Pear Jam Tart:
12.3 oz (350 g) flour 1 tsp baking powder
16 Tbs (225 g) unsalted butter, softened 2.8 oz (80 g) sugar
2 large egg yolks
2 Tbs pear eau de vie or kirsch
1 Tbs fine lemon zest or 1 tsp vanilla
17.6 oz / 2 cups (500 g) pear jam (or jam of your choice) - the better the quality the jam (artisan, if possible), the better your tart will taste
Prepare the Crust Dough:
Sift or stir the flour together with the baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg yolks, the eau de vie and lemon zest or the vanilla. Stir in the flour/baking powder and knead on a floured work surface until it forms a smooth, homogeneous dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 20 – 30 minutes.
Prepare the Pear Jam Tart:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Separate off about 2/3 of the dough and shape into a ball. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out this larger part of the dough to fit a 10 inch (25 cm) pie dish, carefully lifting and placing in and lining the pie dish. Add the jam, spreading evenly.
Roll out the remaining piecrust dough and slice (I use a pizza wheel) into ½-inch or so strips. Handling the strips very carefully so they do not rip and break, lift and place them on the jam tart overlapping the edges slightly to create a trellis/lattice pattern. Pinch the ends or each strip to the crust and trim. You can brush the crust strips with egg wash if you like.
Bake for about 35 minutes until the crust and lattice strips are a deep golden. Remove to a cooling rack.
Prepare the Caramelized Pears:
1 or 2 ripe pears (we used Comice) About
1 Tbs (15 g) butter for each pear
About 1 Tbs granulated brown sugar per pear
Peel, trim and core the pears; slice into wedges between ½ and ¾ inches thick. Heat a skillet, add the butter, sugar and pears and cook, stirring so the melted butter and sugar blend ( push and flip the pears gently so they do not break) until the pears are lightly colored, tender and caramelized.
Spoon the pears with the caramel butter over the top of the tart and serve.

can utah pass dallas for the #7 seed? i would much rather okc play the jazz than the mavs.
can utah pass dallas for the #7 seed? i would much rather okc play the jazz than the mavs.
also i'd be willing to bet that kobe scores however many he needs to pass KD tomorrow. he'll shoot it 40 times if he has to.
alright, can dallas pass denver for the #6 seed then? i'd much rather okc play denver than the mavs.
Kobe needs 38 tonight to win the scoring title over KD. I'm rooting for the under, but the Self Centered One will certainly jack up 50 shots to achieve it. Playing the hapless unmotivated Kings does not bode well for KD's chances either.
"Lakers coach Mike Brown says Kobe Bryant will not play tonight in Sacramento. Kevin Durant will win his 3rd straight scoring title."
Game, blouses.
Can't believe he's passing it up. It's the right decision though.
MJ would've played. Not saying, just saying.
Mavs getting beat by ATL. Nuggets kicking the wolves ass. Look like we are going to play the Mavs in the first round. I don't mind that at all. Denver is playing a lot better to end the season. We went 3-1 vs. Dallas in the regular season. Should be good series for the Thunder to warm up in the playoffs for LAL.
oh and congrats to KD for winning the scoring title. BACK TO BACK TO BACK
some reward for finishing #2 in the west: you get to start the playoffs by playing the defending champs.
Yes, OKC vs. Dallas will be intense. Looking forward to it.
not a big deal, but it kinda irks me how the espn article is kobe 'conceding' the scoring title. sure, kobe could probably score 38 in the game, but why no love for durant earning it?
barkley says okc is gonna "put a beating" on the mavs. barkley was lights out with his picks last year, hope that continues here.
he was tweeting a million miles per hour last night. first time i've seen him do it since the injury.
has to be a good sign, right?
I believe Harden is ready to go on Saturday.
If any of you have a chance at playoff tickets in OKC, I implore you to go. The atmosphere is surreal.
Too late for my little bit, and the wife is out of town. You going?
quit letting that fat $#@! get offensive rebounds
would love to see a Mavs-SA matchup sometime in the playoffs just for the dueling threads
lol Serge... didn't see that coming.
Need to be able to sustain runs against this team...
I'd be happy with KD and Westbrook hitting their shots.
...which is the same thing I realize.
Oklahoma is $#@!. This whole thread needs to go $#@! itself.
Russell is obviously so selfish
$#@! the haters
The whole team intensity is rising. Defense is looking good
And right as I say that, granny shot hits another. $#@! that guy

Happens to me at least once a week.
App Store Bugs: App Updates Downloading Over and Over and Over Again
There appears to be a bug on Apple's iTunes App Store that's causing apps to show up as having available updates even after they've been downloaded over and over again. Here's what it looks like -- the App Store on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iTunes on your PC tells you you have an update for an app. You tap or click to update, enter your iTunes password, and the app downloads -- but it still shows the app in the update list. You tap or click update again, it downloads again, but again still shows the app in the update list. Or worse (as happened to me a few weeks ago), iTunes pops up a Checking for Available Downloads dialog then proceeds to try, over and over again, for days, to download 1.3GB of turn-by-turn navigation app update.
Of course, the problem seems intermittent and random -- different users experiencing the it with different apps at different times. It's also unclear if everyone is having the same problem. For some, Apple's iTunes app servers may not be properly providing the updated app file and so the new version is not successfully getting installed on the device. For others, the file might be getting installed but iTunes doesn't recognize or register it so keeps offering the same update. We've gotten quiet a few readers writing in about it now, and there's the usual huge thread up on Apple's discussion boards.
Possible solutions include rebooting your iPhone or restarting iTunes on your PC, or just waiting and trying again in a day or so. On rare occasions it looks like it takes a few days to sort itself out, which for small apps isn't a show-stopper for those 1GB apps (or large games), it can be untenable, especially for people in countries with tight data caps on their home internet.
Some developers are hearing enough feedback on this that they're contacting Apple in hopes of some server-side fixing. We're hoping for some as well.
If you're having this problem, let us know in the comments, and let us know what (if anything) is fixing it for you.

App Store Bugs: App Updates Downloading Over and Over and Over Again
I've had this problem with a couple of apps for some time now (several weeks). I have tried rebooting the phone, restarting iTunes, deleting the app from both the phone and the computer, but all to no avail.
In iTunes on the Mac, the apps do not show up as having pending updates.
Definitely happening to me a lot lately.
Seems to fix itself after a few days. Sometimes a few hours. I update the app then wait a day and update it again. So far that seems to be working for me. Glad I'm not the only one having this problem. It's annoying. I'm one of those guys that doesn't like to have unresolved icon badges on my screen. Drives me nuts for some reason.
I had this issue with my pc I rebooted my computer and iPhone then allowed the updates again and it cleared up.
Initially I thought my Jailbroken iPhone was playing ticks on me, I restored and the same prob kept happening!!! I think it's a matter if patience and wait few hours or day(s). Another solution that has worked especially when couple of updates come along together, is updating one by one (your most important needed Apps I'll suggest first).
Hope a solution happens soon!
I've experienced this often in recent days. "Time" is a culprit in particular.
This is happening to me all the time. I did log out of iTunes on my mac and iPhone and the problem went away but when a had a new update psh it came back. and I'm not going to keep on signing out every damn time. I did fight the updates though I kept on updating and updating and finally I had no new updates.
It's happened to me alot over the last few weeks. It seems to be different apps on different days. The other day I had updates for eBay, quick mark, and stick wars and all of them downloaded and installed. However, stick wars kept saying I had an update over and over untill the next day.
Waiting is he only thing that has worked for me. One thing I did notice two days ago and yesterday, was that all the apps that wouldn't load were dated in the future. My local date was December 11th and the app update said December 12th. So I waited till they matched, then the updates worked.
It comes and goes. Absolutely NOTHING I try (rebooting, re-authorizing, you name it) seems to make one bit of a difference, so basically I've given up and don't check for updates on the Mac anymore. If there are updates of the applications I use, I download them directly from the iPhone. Sucks.
I had a situation where I had 2 of 3 updates -- which I applied all at once from the phone -- repeatedly want to install (and appeared to work but didn't). Thinking that it might be my use of a five-column springboard tgat might be causing tge issue I moved both apps to a different page, at the very beginning, and then both updates applied successfully.
It has happened constantly to me over the last few weeks. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm trying to download on the iPhone or on my laptop. Right now I supposedly have 30 updates to download; the computer downloaded them, but there are still 30 available ... With small apps it isn't a big deal (except for the aggravation), but I've been trying to update Sims3 for a couple of weeks now and it never takes.
The problem is caused by an application servers cache.
The application is served separately from the information about the update. The information about the update must come first, of course.
The problem is, however, that the new app replaces the old one with significant delay.
When you obtain this 'update available' again and again, you are downloading the old version, because the new file is not yet available.
Tweetie for Mac
Apple? Nah..must be operator error. Apple doesn't have these kinds of problems. They're perfect. oh....%4&#% I'm having the same problem loading stuff on my ipod touch and iphone. :)
What readers are syinf is right, I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE on any of my 3 iphones
2 days ago my Appstore told me there's 3 updates and u guessed it
i ended up updating those 3 over and over again until the next day it dissapeared
but this time another app started having the same problem until 2 days ;later it dissapeared
So i am guessing that in the past 2-3 days Apsstore did indeed have a problem on their servers
I should've checked to see if this was an issue before trying to fix it myself. I uninstalled one of the apps doing this, from both the iPhone and iTunes, synced, and redownloaded -- that worked. I tried it with the other 2 that were doing it, it didn't work. Then I discovered the MobileApps folder where all the install files get stored and tried moving all those files elsewhere, and then sync'd. Big mistake. Then I moved them back and sync'd again. Bigger mistake. I should've just left them as is and waited it out, now I need to wipe the iPhone and start over :(
I've had this issue since the 3.1 update. I'm confident that this is not a hardware issue with my 3Gs as I have the same issue with my original 2G iPhone. I have the same confidence that my account has no issue as some apps update successfully.
This looks like Apple's App Store Servers.
What is irking me: The length of time of this issue. This is a poor turnaround time from Apple. Not cool. When the Pre had direct access to iTunes, Apple responded IMMEDIATELY and REPEATEDLY. Where's the urgency now?
Very annoying. It's not really fixed yet either. I have one app (ProCamera) that supposedly had an upgrade with a video feature. Downloaded app update multiple times, still said that it needed to be downloaded, and while my app list indicates that this app has been upgraded, on my phone it is still the old app. What's going on?
Fabulous! i thought this was just me! Seems to me, that whatever App is misbehaving in this manner, it's fixed as soon as another App is updated and appears in the list, however, one or more of the new apps may then take its place in the update list.
Happens to me with a couple of apps - CoPilot Live has done it to me twice now, and I had this problem with a radio app update the other day. I was able to get the update to take on the nav app by DLing it directly to the phone via wifi, and the radio app update cleared itself up somehow. Hadn't thought of rebooting; that makes sense. I'll try it if it comes up again.
Man, do you proofread your posts?
I've had this happen probably a total of 4 times. It happened this week with an update for the app IOU UOI. I tried rebooting the iphone, respring, nothing helped. I ended up just waiting until the next morning and tried again and it worked. Annoying especially when the update adds some exciting new features :) I was able to in the past just delete the whole app and then redownload it through appstore on my iphone. But this isnt practicle if there is a lot of data stored in the app. I look forward to a fix from apple.
Same problem here...tried EVERYTHING. Two apps that wont go away...stachelastic and rock band. Finally after trying a few things on both the computer and iphone, it went away on itunes on the computer, but still shows up as updates available on iphone in app store... I checked the apps, and it seems the updates the apps were supposed to get were updated. Hmmmm, still driving me nuts though.
I thought it was just me having this problem, I'm glad I'm not the only one but annoyed that it's happening. Sometimes it can take up to 10 times for an app to update correctly, the other night I was trying for over an hour to download Emerald Chronometer and had the same problem with Xewton Music Studio. Along with the problem I had with the recent iArcher update that trashed all my data, this really pulls Apple down in my estimation as they seem to be putting money before customer service.
Yeah. Big problem. Apple needs to fix this fast. Ties up their servers as we try (in vain) to actually get the updated apps to update, and wastes our time, frustrating frequent buyers. Not good for business, Apple.
This is prime purchasing season. You're going to lose a lot of sales/customers over this.
Enigmo and Picture Safe... the two apps that have been driving me nuts... I must have downloaded the update almost about 20 times using app store on my iphone 3GS but to no use... I've done the same with the ITunes on my Mac which is running the latest 9.0.2 (25) iTunes but no solution there either.. I download the update but the Applications Tab still shows 2 applications to update over and over again...
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes... didnt work... Tried restarting the phone but didnt work.. Last tried resetting the iphone and restoring it but no joy... the damn updates keep appearing over and over even after downloading and installing them...
i've deleted the apps both from the mac and the iphone and tried using a totally different account (which i created just for this purpose) but after downloading and paying for the download under the new user id... it still keeps coming with the update over and over again even on the new apple ID...
i have no clue what to do now so i give up and im gonna go and sleep on it and hope that Apple does some fixing for this very soon and or hope this problem vanishes on its own by the time i wake up...
Checked the actual app files. The problem here is that the part of the server-side appstore that checks what version you own against the latest available has up-to-date info and will show, for example, that Canabalt has updated to 1.2 and you have 1.1. However, at that point it will tell your client to connect to a server where to get the app, and it'll fail to send you to one that has the latest version, so you'll instead download the same one you already have. This will apply to both iTunes on your computer and the appstore app on the iphone. Eventually, the server will manage to direct you correctly (Canabalt finally updated properly 12 hours later, in my particular example) and it'll be alright, but because this is a server issue, no updated app is safe from this behavior.
Tye flurry of offers and promotions during the Christmas season is probably more than the infrastructure can handle.
We just released the first update to our app for depression and I had this problem as well. As someone mentioned earlier I believe it is caused by Apple setting the release date ahead of the current date. I had the problem on the 11th at 10pm. The release date was set on the 12th. At midnight PST the app dowloaded the update successfully. As a user, the best thing to do is look at the release date before downloading updates. We as well as many have submitted the problem to Apple.
The issue has been happening to me, too. I see a number of app updates, I click "update all". My iPhone downloads and installs each update. When I go back into the app store, the same apps are there, informing me that there are updates to download.
The issue has happened with pretty much every app that I've tried updating in the last couple weeks... Free and paid. The only fix is to wait a few days and try again... Which is extremely annoying when there's an important update that fixes a major crash bug or error.
I have the same problem too. I get notifications on new versions, but after installing the updates I still have the old version installed - without any error messages. I think Apples servers are out of sync or something. Maybe the new version-notifications are ahead of the actual applications. It could take a couple of hours - a day until all apps has been distributed to all servers, while the notifications are pushed out right away.
It does seem to be getting worse. I have had this happen on many of my app updates. It appears that the updates are posted a day early every time it happens to me. The last time it happend was with iTranslate. the update notice had the date of 12/16/09, but the actual date was 12/15/09 when i had attempted installation to no avail. the app was never updated. I tried about 6 times to update, but still no update was actually put in place. It appears that the version I had installed currently was just re-installed.
Then I waited until the today 12/16/09 and the update went through just fine. this has been the case with about 6 different updates for apps.
To me it appears that the update notice is posted a day early, but the actual files for installation/update aren't put on the server (or aren't available for DL) until the date listed on the update notice.
This has been happening to me for the past 2 weeks or so. It only seems to be an issue for me for updates downloaded from the phone as downloads through iTunes work every time.
I have the same problem but now the apps won't even install and my iPhone just thinks about it and all I get is the circle at the top! How frustrating!
I paid $5.99 for a 145mb application I downloaded 7 times. Spending over half a day on this, and I still don't have a solution. Worst of all, my iPhone is my mobile modem at the moment. My internet cap is 6 gigs (Yes, I know Australia sucks). This is hurting me big time.
On my iPhone the app store keeps asking for my password... Whether I click cancel
or put it in half my apps change from being there on my phone to paused and I have to wait for then to download again, also all apps that I ha and deleted turn up as paused aswell...
Anyone got any ideas on this or heard of it before...
This also happens if i go on the AppStore myself...
Bloddy annoying!!
Metroview is causing this issue for me. Keeps trying to download, but once the download has finished it automatically starts over again - 500MB. Has been in a continuous loop for 7 cycles using up my wireless quota
First time it has happened in my 400 apps. Poorly written code by the app supplier.
I had and iphone 3gs & my problem was that everytime I tried opening the app store, it kicked me out about 5 times before it actually let me in and if I wanted to either update or download a new app it freezed and took for ever to ask for my password and sometime even made my phone turn off and on. I thought my iphone was just old (I had it for 2 yrs) and thought I needed a new one so I purchased iphone 4. Still have the same problem with the app store. Kicks me out and takes forever to actually ask for password.
Anybody having same problem? Or is there a solution for this? I noticed that I started having this problem when I did the software update of 4.3.2 or so.

I just started taking Labetalol. Started with 200 mg a day then it was increased to 400 mg a day.
I had labs and a 24 hour urine all come back good about a week or so ago.
Anyway, I was feeling crappy so I took my BP and got 126/103. A few minutes later I took it in my right arm and got 156/80.
I waited a while and took it again and got 140/74.
Were those other pressures just flukes?

Technology is continuously changing. The stuff we have today is a lot different from what we had 15 or 30 years ago, yesterday's top-of-the-line features becoming entry-level as altogether new technologies spring from obscurity to ubiquitousness. I became interested in these trends back when DVD was replacing VHS in the late 90's and, finding nowhere on the internet to learn about the devices of yesteryear, I started my own. It is interesting to see the evolution among brands and between model years, the relationship between budget, performance, and those in the middle. This database was designed to capture these trends and display them at a glance. Beyond my own interest, I hoped this archive would be helpful to those looking for information about old product lines and faded technologies.

Breakthrough Bargaining
Deborah M. Kolb; Judith Williams
Price: $6.93
Unspoken, subtle parts of a bargaining process--also known as the shadow negotiation--can set the tone for a successful negotiation. Deborah Kolb and Judith Williams, whose book The Shadow Negotiation was the starting point for this article, say there are three strategies businesspeople can use to guide these hidden interactions. Power moves are used when two negotiating parties hold unequal power. These strategies, such as casting the status quo in an unfavorable light, can help parties realize that they must negotiate: they will be better off if they do and worse off if they don't. Process moves affect how negotiation issues are received by both sides in the process, even though they do not address substantive issues. Working outside of the actual bargaining process, one party can suggest ideas or marshal support that can shape the agenda and influence how others view the negotiation. Appreciative moves alter the tone or atmosphere so that a more collaborative exchange is possible. These strategic moves don't guarantee that all bargainers will walk away winners, but they help to get stalled negotiations moving--out of the dark of unspoken power plays and into the light of true dialogue.
Learning objective:
To understand how to negotiate more effectively by clarifying the unspoken assumptions that shape how negotiators interact, whose opinions get heard, and whose interests hold sway.
Subjects Covered:
Power and influence; Women in business
- Publication Date:
- Feb 1, 2001
- Discipline:
- Negotiation

I am selling my loose clone army. These have been in storage away from sun/smoke/pets, and now they want a new home. They are complete and in excellent condition. This is a great way to start a small army of prequel clones, and some original trilogy troops as well. Asking $3 each. I'd prefer to sell in lots, not single deals.
**Never mind- just sold the whole lot.
TRU Los Feliz had the Orto Plutonia battle pack, if you don't mind $30 pricetags and insanely long lines and rude employees.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
"In Brooklyn, a castle, is where dwell I"
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Saw that battle pack for the first time at Burbank last night. 30 bucks is way too much. Wish that Talz figure made it to wide release though. I would have gotten a couple of him. Did pick up that Star Wars Science lightsaber room light for 12.99 (35% off). Cool for the price.
At walmart last week I saw a Lego alarm clock that is roughly 12" tall Anakin lego fig. for $20. Cool but passed. Maybe if I see the Stormtrooper.
Glendale Galleria has the new SW lego sets. I just grabbed two Mando BPs, two new Clone BPs and the V-Wing.

I don't think you know what horizontal progression is.
The gear grind in WoW is vertical progression. Horizontal is the skill system in Eve. (though there is always some verticality)
And the Planetside 2 engine is fucking amazing.
The rest of the cons I give you.

But topics like this could only make sense if OP has actually played the game. Of course he is intittled to voice his opinion. but as said doesn't make sense without having actuall proven playable experiance.

You would prefer no one say anything and just quietly wait till the games out (and pretty much written in stone) to see how it plays?
What we have now is a game where your running to get somewhere (maybe meet up with friends) and a mob can pound the ground under you making a 100 foot drop you fall into (taking no damage it seems) where you'll generally have to defeat some baddy (ies) and then try and find a way out. As that hole in the ceiling 100 feet up may well have healed shut depending on the length of the combat, Overall could be fun or could be a PITA. I foresee a lot of (possibly cash shop) insta teleports in this game

Those that are worried and want to see a change in the game even if based on assumption and lack of information had better say something now. Those that are happy just to wait and trust SOE to deliver the game they want had better be ready to take what they are given when its released and STFU as they were the ones that weren't willing to speak up about their doubts when the game was being made and still could be changed.
Devs do sometimes make bad games but they make them with the information they get from the player base. So if the game sucks its also the fault of the player base who either asked for it or who sat quietly by inferring they would accept it, and play it as shown/described.
Originally posted by ckeeton999
Heheh and you have facts from the game yourself? I have only the information SOE has shown its true but please don't pretend you are enlightened or that there are "FACTs" this early in the game development that won't be changed come time of release. All you have is Dev speak, and Marketing. I dare you to prove that Devs never lie. Marketing we already know is 50% lies.

I think this sums it up perfectly. The great are the sandboxy elements and potentially the crafting/harvesting depth to the game. Limited destructibility is great too, although I don't like how far it goes in this game with the smashing into the lower sections of the world. Love the emergent AI. Love the world quests, etc.
But meh. The graphics. The "multiclassing" which is really just an ezmode excuse to allow everybody to be everything and to minimize vertical growth. The lack of holy quadrinity. The LOL action style combat and some of the movement (e.g., flash, double jump, etc.).
We'll see how it all plays out. In the end it'll probably be a matter of how challenging the game is. If there's very limited fast travel, most of the game requires grouping, and the risk and penalties of death are great, then I'll probably like it. If it's just another ezmode MMO with limited vertical strata, I'll probably quickly be bored.
I've never seen so many people, myself included, conflicted over a release in quite some time. It isn't the Hype that is the issue either, and that is highly surprising.
Let the game finish up before judging it.
The issue, is that Smed is rolling some of the best aspects of an MMO in with some of the most horrible aspects for an MMO. Together, they form the most frustrating announcements that have been made in the past 10years. Even more frustrating than seeing the first iteration of what we were going to have thrown at us from gamesworkshop in the form of a WoW-Warahmmer 40k (google to see what i'm talking about).
Not everyone agrees with this.
So what's so amazing?
-Sandbox Core Gameplay
-Destructable Voxel based environemtn tied in with 3D models to handle animations (since voxels suck for animation)
-Multi-Class mentality
-Crafting that is trying to copy SWG's amazing system
-Mentality behind "An MMO isn't just made for one person", something Sandbox's actually encompass.
-Smed wants to make an EvE-style based fantasy Sandbox title, woo.
-Exploration being the emphasis over linear achievement.
So what's so absolutely frustrating that are potentially deal-breakers for such an amazing game??
-Graphics aimed at Children, think WoW 2.0
Graphics are not made for chlidren. They are set up so that families can play together from probably age 10 on up with parental supervision. There will probably be sliders for blood or other details along with language.
-Major mainstreaming of the Everquest brand, ie: dumbing down...something many didn't think was possible for a Sandbox
This is simply not true. There is a huge amount of things under wraps and to call it dumbed down this early is not right at all
-GW2's horribly bland combat system, with attack telegraphs
There is obviously a good deal of similarity here, but we still really have no clue from a short video, how any combat will work or feel beyond a few telegraphed ground patterns.
-GW2's absolutely pathetic skill system, yaaay 8 abilities!
Once again they talked about several other things that will also be involved beyond the 8 buttons.
-GW2's Weapon system, ties in with above point about skills.
They said it will be similar, but still have it's own identity.
-Horizontal progression primarily based on gear (WoW raiding gear-stepping, but without levels?)
This is a positive for me. You shouldn't start off the game as a level one adult that does 6 damage and has 100 health and then at end game do 6000 damage and have 50000 health. This actually adds to the game for me making better gear a priority over some inflated character #s.
-The same engine that runs Planetside 2
Once again...not a negative to most.
-Developers that think making the graphics look BETTER, or correcting their mistakes, is a crime (ie: Banning for SweetFX)
Devs are taking note that you don't have to build a game that pushes regular pc users to have to buy another new system or graphics card. This means more players can access the game and have fun with it which is important.
-PvP was mentioned, and then thrown under the bus to not be spoken about until Beta?
They are once again still refining and getting systems in place for pvp before announcing it. This is smart.
-How does the world handle "Troll" guilds destroying the world?
Beginner areas won't be able to be messed up much. As you go out further there will be deeper interaction. Players will probably be responsible for patrolling player built properties and pvp'ing against players that want to destroy it, however..once again, it's still to early to know for sure.
-What's the regeneration timer on destroyed world pieces?
There will be some that are not destroyable, while others are. The timer might be based on how much destruction is occuring and how often, similar to how some games handle scaling battles to the amount of players in an area.
-What's the limit to how much/deep you can destroy before the game physically stops you from doing any more?
My guess.....when you hit lava which may cause a volcano and make a large area around un-inhabitable for a while, or possibly like in mining where it becomes incredibly difficult to dig past a certain kind of rock without a different tool.
-How does the Engine handle 100 players in the same area? Does it dynamically-instance players from each other like PS2? (this turned PS2 into a mess btw)
The game is being built for PC first and we shall have to wait and see. If the system is done correctly, players will not need to worry to much about it.
At the end of the day, the game is unplayable with their current WoW 2.0 Cartoon art-style, but is one of the more future-oriented core mechanics games we've seen since SWG/DAOC. Truly a frustrating event
You are concentrating way to much on the art style. Saying a game is unplayable because you don't agree with a style they have chosen for the look of the game is totally wrong. If you said it was your opinion that it was unplayable for you....that would be correct.
So don't play the game if you don't like the graphics enough to not give it a shot. They will not lose anything by you not trying it. It's a free game!

Yes I know. But if that was their goal, they did a really bad job on the Kerra. He has small eyes and a big jaw. That makes him quite unsuitable for expressing emotions. As you can see in the video they can't display any of the emotions that they show on the human on the kerra as well. He can only roar and growl, and even that looks somewhat strange.

Also, the average age of the MMO gamer is 26.

Hell no, who said anything about scraping the game or boycotting it. I guess even the OP isn't asking for that. The title of the is totally inappropriate. I should have been: "My opinions about EQN" or something like that. I guess its meant to be cynical, but he rather comes about as a plain naysayer.
As for me, I still believe that EQN will set a new standard for MMOS. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. All I ask for are small but quite important changes. It depends how far they are with the character models, but even if they are ready, they could still change them if they wanted, considering they scraped the entire game twice.

The roar and growl are obviously early portions of the character expression system. It can and will be done. Have you ever seen Madagascar 1, 2, or 3? Alex the the lion has so many emotes and talks all the time. With this sort of animation they can make emotes simple and easy.

I am sure you have heard of the character customization screen.
It is in this screen you can adjust things like
Mouth size and position.
Chin style and size.
Eye color, size, position.
They simply chose to make him look like your typical large chin hero archtype similar to Buzz Lightyear or many other tuff but approachable knightly hero characters.

If you compare both characters you will see that Alax the lion actually is more anthropomorphize much better suited for expressing emotions. His mouth is more human like, he has a steeper forehead and his eyes are round. The Kerra instead has a wedge-shaped head wit a flat forehead (Actually it is flatter than that of a real lion), narrow eyes and a long maw that seems only to be suited to open and close like a hand puppet. The whole face looks overly rigid.
But on thing they have in common - the big oversized nose. This makes both character look goofy and not menacing. This is probably works well for Madagascar, but it contradicts everything they said they wanted for the Kerra warrior.
If the really want it to work with SOEmote, they need something that is more anthropomorphic or like a domestic cat. You just can't display human emotion on an animal head that lacks anthropomorphic features.

Google realized that one of the reasons Google Talk has such a small number of users is that you need to have a Gmail account to use it. And that wasn't too necessary. Of course, you had your Gmail contacts, mail notification, your chats were searchable in Gmail and the voicemail you received looked better, but the basic client doesn't need a Gmail address.
Google Blog reports that now anyone can try Google Talk, if they have a Google Account. So if you're in this situation, you just have to sign up for GTalk, choose a nickname, and get the client (1.5 MB, Windows 2000/XP). You'll notice that the interface still talks about Gmail and features like mail notification are visible, but don't work.
Google claims "there are millions of people around the world to chat with".
Update: Google also released Google Talk 220.127.116.11, fixing some bugs, and introducing others. Offline contacts and those who use Gmail Chat have non-working options like "Call" and "Send files".

Four of five Goose Creek City Council candidates vying for three at-large council seats gathered at a forum Monday night to introduce themselves and answer citizens questions.
Incumbents Kimo Esarey and Mark Phillips attended along with newcomers Debra Green-Fletcher and Gerald Stinson. Victoria Morrell could not attend because of an unavoidable medical appointment. An introductory statement was read on her behalf.
The Goose Creek 9-12 Project organized the meeting at the Berkeley Electric Co-op building off Springhall Drive.
One attendee asked what could be done to expand recreation, adding she felt the traveling soccer team was not supported enough.
We have expanded soccer fields near the reservoir, Esarey said. We dont support a lot of traveling teams. They have to raise their own funds.
We probably extended the life of the Casey Center for five years, Phillips said. Council has not sat down and made a commitment to anything.
Theres a big need for a swimming facility, Green-Fletcher said. That is something I would like to see. The other goal of mine is a playground for persons of all disabilities. I know there are federal grants.
Our golf course is a good example, Stinson said. We need to let people know we own a pool and tennis courts. Its a shame my son has to go to Mt. Pleasant for a prom.
Stinson added the golf course needs a reception facility.
Another citizen asked what will candidates do to attract new businesses.
Green-Fletcher said it would be nice to have a roundtable discussions with bankers, real estate agents, and Berkeley County representatives.
Esarey said they need to get their face in front of people so they know where Goose Creek is. The city doesnt have the sites to bring in a lot of industry because it has Alcoa on one side and the Navy base on the other. The city is not a destination, but Esarey added if it had a mall it might be.
Phillips said the city isnt quite there yet to draw in restaurants. The role of government is to create the environment where people want to come. Having more fire stations will help businesses have lower insurance rates.
Stinson said the city has to be proactive and partner with people. He said they have to be about doing something to recruit small businesses. He added the city needs to make sure it is an easy process to bring in small businesses and there needs to be a group to work with them to make them successful in their first year.
Another citizen asked how long it had been since they read the U.S. Constitution and where they stood on the city generating revenue as opposed to private enterprise.
Green-Fletcher said she had not read the Constitution in a while, and everyone would like to have an event building but those are difficult to run and would require a full-time staff member.
Esarey said he last read the complete Constitution in eighth grade. He said there is a fine line between government and private enterprise, but not a lot of private companies would build and maintain a hiker/biker trail.
Phillips said he has a copy of the Constitution on his dresser and read it a few years ago, adding it is difficult reading. He said the government should stay as small as it can and there is a fine line.
Stinson said he had not read the Constitution in a long time but took an oath to defend it. He said the city needs to be proactive to bring small businesses and needs to brainstorm. Government should not be intrusive and needs to be kept as small as possible. Government needs to protect the people but needs money to do things.
Morrells phrase building a better Goose Creek together means taking permanent action and keeping revenue, growth and jobs within the city, she wrote. She wants to balance economic development in the city, according to her statement read by a supporter at Mondays event.

Wounded veterans inspired Toledo author's novelWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
A Toledo author's latest book was inspired by the sacrifices made by men and women in the armed services.
"The Town That Never Stared," Terence O'Leary's second young adult novel, is set in Grand Rapids, Ohio, and focuses on teenage brothers and high school football teammates Boomer and Cody Brennan.
As a lineman, Boomer protects his younger brother, the quarterback, on their high school football field. Boomer is good enough to play college ball, but decides to enlist in the Army instead.
After Boomer is severely burned trying to save fellow soldiers trapped in their vehicle by a roadside bomb explosion, Cody works to bring him home and help the town see past his disfigurement to celebrate his heroism.
Although the story is fictional, O'Leary was inspired by real soldiers, including Pat Tillman, an NFL player who enlisted in the Army after Sept. 11, 2001 and was killed in action in 2004.
"In the back of my mind was Pat Tillman," O'Leary said. "Boomer is kind of cut from the same cloth. He wanted to be the warrior and he wanted to protect his village."
He was also inspired by Marine Corps Sgt. Merlin German, who was thrown from his Humvee in Iraq when a roadside bomb detonated. Despite burns on more than 97 percent of his body, German fought to survive for more than 17 months and 100 surgeries, before succumbing to his injuries in 2008 at age 22.
The book is distributed in the burns and traumatic brain injury segments of Brooke Army Medical Center as inspiration for wounded warriors, said O'Leary, who speaks regularly about the book at high schools, libraries and local events.
O'Leary said he hopes the story helps people remember to honor the thousands of men and women who have been injured at war.
"These are heroes and I think that's the way we need to treat and look at them, especially the ones with traumatic brain injuries. Some of them, their lives will never be the same," O'Leary said. "But I also want to stress to people who look at this and say 'I don't want to read this; it's a downer,' that it's really not. It's a heart-warming, uplifting story. When you finish it, you feel good. You realize that one person can make a difference. Cody changes the way the whole town looks at his brother. You could even say
it's inspiring."
Northwest Ohioans will be familiar with many scenes in the book, including walleye fishing, changing seasons and Friday night football, said O'Leary, a graduate of Central Catholic High School and the University of Toledo.
"I think setting is really important to a story," O'Leary said. "I actually fell in love with Grand Rapids, Ohio; I think it's just a fantastic little town. It had the family values and the four seasons I wanted to incorporate into the story. It's a very quick easy read and I'm very happy with it. I think the best fiction is based on fact."
The book, published last year by Swan Creek Press, is available on Amazon.com in both print and Kindle versions. It can also be purchased through Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million.
O'Leary's debut novel, "More Than a Game," was a father/son baseball tale set in Toledo and centered around the Mud Hens. He is at work on his third novel, "Penalty Kick," which will have a soccer theme.

Carpooling: Parking at Green Gulch is limited. To encourage carpooling, vehicles with two or more occupants park free for the Sunday program. We suggest a $5 donation for single drivers, which goes toward the additional cost involved for Green Gulch to purchase 100% renewable energy through Marin Clean Energy. Also, "muffin bucks" will be offered to visitors whose ridesharing results in leaving an actual vehicle behind. These can be used for a dollar off the purchase of the muffins offered at the tea following the Sunday dharma talk. For more information on ridesharing, visit our carpool page.
