Some wet weather and freeze-thaw cycles that created runoff helped water levels on Lakes Michigan and Huron rise 2 inches in February, to 576.2 feet, said Keith Kompoltowicz, chief of watershed hydrology for the Army Corps of Engineers' Detroit District. But that's still a foot lower than historical averages, he said.
All of the Great Lakes remain below their long-term average, and all are forecast to remain that way at least over the next six months, Kompoltowicz said.
January's record low water levels were also the lowest monthly average water ever recorded for any month on the Great Lakes, with records extending back to 1918.
Lakes Michigan and Huron have remained continuously below average for 14 years, Kompoltowicz said, a result of extended drought, meaning less rain and snowfall to feed the lakes, hot summers resulting in ramped-up evaporation, and less ice cover in milder winters to prevent evaporation.
"Just because we didn't set a record low in February doesn't mean significant impacts will not be felt, especially as we move into the navigation season later this month," he said.
Shallower lakes mean cargo ships must carry less to avoid damage, said Glen Nekvasil, vice president of the Ohio-based Lake Carriers' Association, representing commercial cargo carriers on the Great Lakes.
"Depending on the size of your vessel, you lose every anywhere from 50 to 270 tons of cargo for every inch of draft you lose," he said. "In many instances we're not talking inches, we're talking feet."
The Soo Locks connect Lake Superior to the lower Great Lakes at Sault Ste. Marie. Nekvasil noted that the largest coal cargo that moved through the locks last year was 64,706 tons. Back in the high-water days of 1997, a record coal cargo of 70,903 tons was set, he said.
"The water levels and the drought cost us there 6,200 tons of cargo, and that's just in one trip," he said. "Ships in that trade will make around 50 trips per year."
That's 310,000 tons of cargo, and that means money — money to maintain and modernize ships, and to expand the industry when markets dictate it, Nekvasil said.
"This is happening throughout the fleet," Nekvasil said. "The boats in the iron ore trade are leaving cargo behind, as are the limestone carriers."
Nekvasil called on federal authorities to release funds from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, a federal fund created through taxes on ship cargo, to dredge deep-draft ports throughout the Great Lakes. The fund takes in about $1.6 billion per year but spends less than $800 million.
"It's being used to paper-balance the budget, to make the federal deficit look smaller," he said.
A bill by Michigan Democratic U.S. Sen. Carl Levin would require spending the funds raised in the trust fund each year. The bill has 31 co-sponsors, including 12 senators from Great Lakes states. A companion bill in the U.S. House also has 94 co-sponsors, but both bills have yet to have committee hearings, Nekvasil said.
"We're paying for this service and it's not being provided," he said. "We don't have to raise taxes or borrow money. The money is there. It just has to be spent."

Reinhardt University tennis players Nick Draghiceanu and Mandy Renta were each named the Appalachian Athletic Conference Player of the Week in men's tennis and women's tennis, respectively, for their play from April 18-24. It marks the first time for each to earn the weekly conference honor.
Draghiceanu, a 6-foot, 170-pound freshman from Canton, Ga., helped lead Reinhardt to a 7-2 AAC win over Bluefield College in the Eagles' only match last week. He picked up victories at both No. 2 doubles (8-0) and No. 3 singles (6-0, 6-0) without losing a set. In his first season, Draghiceanu has played in all 13 matches for Reinhardt.
A 5-foot-9 junior out of Woodstock, Ga., Renta led the Lady Eagles to an 8-1 conference triumph against Bluefield in their lone match last week. She tallied wins at both No. 1 doubles (8-0) and the top singles position (6-1, 6-0), losing just one set during her two victories. Renta has competed in all 10 matches for Reinhardt this year.
The Eagles are 3-10 overall while the Reinhardt women's team is 2-8. Both squads finished 1-3 in AAC matches and begin play in their respective NAIA Unaffiliated Group Tournaments this Friday in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Respond to Review of Sweet Freedom Bakery
by SynthVegan
Review: I had high hopes for Sweet Freedom, especially since they were advertising the fact they were on Cupcake Wars on the sign outside the front door. Boy was I disappointed. The cupcakes did not look attractive, so I didn't get one. I tried a sample of some kind of blueberry bar and found it to be tasteless and gritty. So I settled on the cookie sandwich and took it to go for later. When I finally bit into it I felt the garbanzo bean flower was overpowering and really took away from the cookies. The frosting between the cookies was OK, but the cookies really just killed it. It seems like bakery filled with good people and a good cause, but I just can't see myself ever going back.

John La Mond's Favorite James Bond Theme Songs [VIDEOS]
It was 50 years ago today on Oct. 5, 1962 when movies audiences were first introduced to James Bond. Ian Flemming's spy character came to life in the film "Dr. No". James Bond films have always been the epitome of cool with lots of testosterone, firearms, danger, excitement and of course, beautiful women. Seriously, what is there not to like?
James Bond films have always had very cool theme songs. Here's is my personal top five. Do you remember any of these?

Impetigo is a superficial infection of the skin caused by bacteria. The lesions are often grouped together, have a red base, and are open but close over to form a honey-colored crust.
Impetigo is contagious and can be spread throughout a household, with children reinfecting themselves or other family members.
Common bacteria, some of which are found normally on the skin, cause impetigo. The infection occurs when the bacteria enter an open area in the skin. The most common bacteria that cause impetigo include the following:
Impetigo is more common in children, but adults may also get the infection. Impetigo is made worse by poor hygiene and warm temperatures.
Impetigo usually occurs on the face, neck, arms, and limbs, but the lesions can appear on any part of the body. Impetigo starts as a small vesicle, or fluid-filled lesion. The lesion then ruptures and the fluid drains, leaving areas that are covered with honey-colored crusts.
The lesions may all look different, with different sizes and shapes. The child may also have swollen lymph nodes (small lumps that are located mostly in the neck, arm, under the arm, and in the groin area). Lymph nodes become enlarged when a child's body is fighting an infection.
The symptoms of impetigo may resemble other skin conditions, so always consult the child's physician for a diagnosis.
Impetigo is usually diagnosed based on a complete medical history and physical examination of the child. The lesions of impetigo are unique, and usually can be confirmed with just a physical examination. In some cases, the child's physician may order a culture of the lesion to confirm the diagnosis and identify the type of bacteria that is present.
Specific treatment for impetigo will be determined by the child's physician based on the following criteria:

|Clinical Information
|E2 is produced primarily in ovaries and testes by aromatisation of testosterone. Small amounts are produced in the adrenal glands and some peripheral tissues, most notably fat. E2 levels in premenopausal women fluctuate during the menstrual cycle. They are lowest during the early follicular phase. E2 levels then rise gradually until 2 to 3 days before ovulation, at which stage they start to increase much more rapidly and peak just before the ovulation-inducing lutenising hormone (LH)/folicle stimulating hormone (FSH) surge at 5 to 10 times the early follicular levels. This is followed by a modest decline during the ovulatory phase. E2 levels then increase again gradually until the midpoint of the luteal phase and thereafter decline to trough, early follicular levels. Measurement of serum E2 forms an integral part of the assessment of reproductive function in females, including assessment of infertility, oligo-amenorrhea, and menopausal status. In addition, it is widely used for monitoring ovulation induction, as well as during preparation for in vitro fertilisation.
|Oestradiol (E2) levels below the premenopausal reference range in young females indicate hypogonadism. If luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are elevated, primary gonadal failure is diagnosed. The main causes are genetic (eg, Turner syndrome, familial premature ovarian failure), autoimmune (eg, autoimmune ovarian failure, possibly as part of autoimmune polyglandular endocrine failure syndrome type II), and toxic (eg, related to chemotherapy or radiation therapy for malignant disease). If LH/FSH levels are low or inappropriately "normal," a diagnosis of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism is made This can have functional causes, such as starvation, overexercise, severe physical or emotional stress, and heavy drug and/or alcohol use. It also can be caused by organic disease of the hypothalamus or pituitary. Further work-up is usually necessary, typically including measurement of pituitary hormones (particularly prolactin), and possibly imaging.

Off-Season Workout Guidelines for Little League & High School Pitchers
Coach Mills on September 17, 2009 | No Comments
Many parents want to know what pitchers should do during the off-season to improve their pitching mechanics, their overall pitching skills as well as their workouts, training and conditioning?
Off-Season Workouts
Many are told not to do anything for fear of a pitching arm injury from overuse.
But does this make sense? I don't think so. As long as a pitcher is not hurt and does not have a sore arm there is no evidence that pitching during the off-season while practicing improved mechanics is harmful. Just use common sense. Do not over-pitch but rather spend time videotaping and throwing just more quality pitches focused on using the body more effectively so the arm is just "along for the ride", as Giants 5'10" 170 lb. RH pitcher Tim Lincecum often emphasizes.
Focus on improving mechanics during the off-season, making sure you get videotaped regularly. As you get close to the practice season, start focusing on ball control and getting all your pitches ready.
Focus On Using The Body For Velocity And The Arm For Control
After all isn't pitching a skill activity? If skills lie dormant or remain the same then how does the pitcher improve his pitching mechanics so that he is using his body instead of just his arm to not only improve pitching performance but actually reduce his risk of injury for the next season? Studies have proven that the body produces velocity and the arm is for control.
One of the reasons why I do not like fall and winter baseball is that pitchers are not investing time improving mechanics but instead continue with their habitual ways which simply build in bad habits which actually go even deeper, making it even more difficult to make changes later.
Remember, pitching in games do not necessarily create improved performance. In fact, fall and winter baseball can actually make things worse because the pitcher is not making changes that are the only way he will improve.
Practice Away From Competition Improves Pitchers – Not Pitching In Games
Practice away from competition is the best way to improve, change habitually poor mechanics and allow the pitcher to get a better feel of new pitching mechanics and new movement patterns.
A Typical Weekly Practice Routine
My recommendation is for a high school pitcher is to throw two 50-75 pitch, game intensity bullpens twice a week after you have improved your mechanics, while being videotaped to insure that mechanics are improving. That adds up to 100-150 pitches per week minimum, or 600 a month. That is how you build skill. If every pitch is focused on producing a specific result, whether it's fixing a mechanical issue or focusing on mastering down and away or throwing inside strikes, any pitcher will dramatically improve doing that 600 times per month. However, if mechanics are poor then the more you pitch the closer you get to an injury. Fix mechanics first
If the pitcher is not being videotaped how does the instructor or parent know that changes are actually occuring for the better. It could be that all during the off-season the pitcher is actually getting worse and closer to an injury.
On days that pitcher is not throwing a practice bullpen he can be focused on his function training for improved explosiveness and better flexibility, which he cannot gain during weight training. Remember, pitching is not a strength activity. You do not need much strength to throw a 5 oz. baseball. You need explosiveness and speed of movement. Strength or weight training cannot provide those benefits. The research is clear on that.
Here are some factors to consider for off-season training:
- Little League pitchers can use body-weight exercises initially and for high school pitchers. After about four or five weeks of weight training to build some general strength, any additional strength training is a waste of time and may increase the risk of injury. After building some general strength then immediately switch to functional-explosive exercises that are specific to pitching which not only build strength but improve flexibility throughout the entire body.
- Do not waste time on long toss as it has not been proven to increase velocity and studies have proven that arm strength is not a factor for improving velocity or reducing the risk of arm injuries. Long toss has proven to increase stress to the elbow.
- Do not waste time on pitching drills. A drill may have some value for a beginner but not to improve a fault. Drills have proven to build slow and robotic pitchers who over-think about their mechanics.
- Once you have corrected some mechanical faults, try to throw only game intensity pitches to get ready for the season. Studies again have proven that less than game intensity pitching like throwing at 70-80% is considered by the body to be a totally different movement than 100% game intensity pitching.
- Finally, pitching should be done from a mound, not from flat ground as mechanics are completely different than mound pitching. Do you really want a pitcher to have two different sets of mechanics, one for practice and then another set for games when the pitcher is throwing downhill?
The key for off-season training is to focus on two things: build improved pitching mechanics skills and possibly work on improving specific pitches. The second thing is to focus on functional training not weight training. Weight training has proven to create slow moving pitchers whose added strength from weights cannot be used when throwing a 5 oz. baseball since pitching is not a strength activity but a speed of movement activity.

This is a pretty cool snap count tool from Football Outsiders.
Riddley had 549 offensive snap counts, 44% while Woodhead had 417 offensive snap counts, 34%. I swear I wouldn't have guessed Woodhead had that many snap counts this season. To me it didn't seem like he was on the field that much.

Dufek & Adams Earn All-America and All-Region Honors From ABCA
OMAHA, Neb. -- Jonas Dufek and Trever Adams from the 2011 Creighton University Baseball team have been honored with All-Region and All-America accolades by the American Baseball Coaches Association.
On the 2011 ABCA/Rawlings All-America Teams, Adams was a second-team
All-American outfielder, while Dufek claimed third-team All-America plaudits as a starting pitcher. This marks the first time that Creighton has had a representative on the team since Tony Roth was named third-team All-American second baseman in 2004.
Both Adams and Dufek were named first team all-Midwest Region as well.
This is the fourth All-America honor for Adams this season. He was previously named second-team All-American by the NCBWA and Baseball America, while earning third-team honors from Collegiate Baseball. Adams led Creighton in nearly every offensive category in 2011, including batting average (.387), slugging percentage (.665), on-base percentage (.467), runs (46), hits (89), RBI (57), triples (4), home runs (14), total bases (153), walks (28) and stolen bases (15). In the Missouri Valley Conference, he ranked first in home runs and slugging percentage, second in hits and total bases, third in batting average, fourth in RBI, fifth in on-base percentage and sixth in triples.
This is Dufek's second All-America honor, as he was previously named a third-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball.
Dufek ended his senior season leading the Missouri Valley Conference in
wins (12), strikeouts (128) and ERA (2.08), as well as opposing batting
average (.198) and innings pitched (112.2). Entering Thursday's College World Series game, Dufek ranked seventh nationally in both wins and strikeouts. He was also named
MVP of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament on May 28th after
going 2-0 with a 0.84 ERA and leading Creighton to its second-ever
tournament crown.
Creighton finished the season 45-16 and became the first team in program history to sweep the MVC regular-season and Tournament titles in the same season.

I`ve recently bought a new pc with windows 7, but my old virgin supplied speed touch 330 modem isn`t compatible with windows 7 i`ve discovered. Will virgin supply me with a new compatible modem ?
on 21-02-2012 21:35
you would need to contact tech support on 150 (free from a vm landline) option 2,3,2
and ask for a new superhub
or alternativly you can wait on here for 3-7 days for a member of staff to reply to send you a new superhub
hope this helps

Here's one to get you started! Irish with english translation below each line!
Bhí Pádraig agus Michéal sa teach tabhairne ag ól agus bhí siad go maith.
Pat and Mike were drinking in the pub and they were feeling good.
Bhí siad ag feachaint tríd an bhfuinneog ar an teach transna an bhóthair.
They were looking out the window at the house across the street
Teach flapachain b'ea é.
This was a house of prostitution.
Thánig duine nó béirt, ó am go ham, agus tríd sa doras t¡ leo.
One or two people came from time to time, and went in the door of the house.
Ansin chonaic Pádraig an tUrramach Protastantúnach ag teacht agus isteach sa teach leis.
Then Pat saw the prodestant minister coming, and go in the house.
"An bhfuil sé gan náire, fear Dia mar sin?", arsa Michéal.
"Doesn't he have any shame, a man of God like that?" said Mike.
Ansin tagann Raibi Giudach agus isteach sa theach leis.
Then a Rabbi comes and goes in the door.
"An bhfuil sé gan náire, fear Dia mar sin?", arsa Pádraig.
"Doesn't he have any shame, a man of God like that?" said Pat.
Ó bhí sé ag éirí deanach, d'éirigh Pádraig is Michéal, d'fhág siad síneadh láimhe, agus amach leo.
Since it was growing late, Pat and Mike got up, left a tip and went out.
Ansin chonaic siad an sagart ag teacht agus isteach sa teach leis.
Then they saw the catholic priest coming and he too went into the house.
"Is trua sin", arsa an bhéirt. Is doigh liom go bhfuil duine de na caíliní bochta istigh tinn.
"It's a shame," the two of them said. I suppose one of the poor girls inside is sick
Tá an sagart ag dul a cuir Óla Dheanach uirthi.
The priest is going to administer the Last Rites."

Here's one, nice and short.
Two republicans are walking down the road in Belfast when they see a guy standing against a wall.
"An ceapann tú go bhfuil an fear sin san U.V.F.?"
"Ni ceapaim"
It works best with the mix of languages, as the punchline is a pun in English but if you need it all in Irish here is the translation:-
Dhá republicain iad ag siúl síos an bóthair i mBéal Feirste, nuair a fheiceáil siad fear seasamh i gcoinne balla.
"An ceapann tú go bhfuil an fear sin san U.V.F.?"
"Ni ceapaim"

Document Number: 9130Implementing Graduation Counts: State Progress to Date--2010 - Five years after all of the U.S. governors made a commitment to implement a common, more reliable formula for calculating their state's high school graduation rate, progress is steady. A total of 48 states will report the common formula calculations. At this point 49 states now report they have the data systems needed to track individual students and more accurately calculate the high school graduation rate. Graduation rate goals have been set of 90% or higher in 21 states. (National Governors Association, December 2010)...

Filibuster fight: Senators scrapping over nominees
FILE – In this Aug. 29, 1957 file photo, Sen.Strom Thurmond, D-SC, gives a wave as he leaves the Senate chamber at end of his 24 hour, 19 minute one-man filibuster against the compromise civil rights bills. The effort went for naught however, as less than two hours later, the measure was passed 60-15. Filibusters, taken from a Dutch word that means "pirate," involve any delaying tactic that blocks the Senate from voting on legislation or a nomination. (AP Photo)

Navigation for Caring for the CoastCaring for the Coast Home Oil Spills
This online database will allow owners and operators access to their facility-specific electronic account and easily update required facility information.
According to the 1991 Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act (OSPRA), a facility must be certified by the Land Office if it is employed in handling, storing or transferring oil, and any portion of the facility property is within 100 yards of tidally influenced coastal waters.
Facility owners and operators should contact the Land Office for any questions regarding this requirement. Failure to address application, certification, emergency response planning and operational requirements as prescribed by law may result in penalties.

Reporter: Craig Smith
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Governor Jan Brewer is weighing in on the state's birth control bill.
It would let employers opt out of insurance coverage for birth control based on their religious beliefs.
Women could get the pill for other medical reasons-- but would have to prove they need it.
Friday, Brewer said she sees how the bill could make women, "uncomfortable."
She admitted she has not yet studied the bill, and does not know whether she would sign or veto it.
People pushing for the new law say it's to help employers retain religious freedom by not forcing them to pay for contraception that they may not agree with.
But an a specialist in employment law tells KGUN 9 On Your Side the law could create a world of new problems for any employer trying to use it.
If the bill becomes law it could apply to large sophisticated Catholic hospital groups, with large legal and HR departments to implement it---and it could apply to very small companies with no budget for legal help, but an employment attorney tells us that bill could give lawyers a work-out.
For ten years, Arizona law has given religious organizations like churches the right to not cover contraception.
The proposed new law would extend to companies like Catholic hospitals and to any employer with a moral objection to birth control.
Bishop Gerald Kicanis has not been involved with the proposed state law. He has been very active in a national debate with Federal authorities. The issue: whether Catholic organizations which serve more than Catholics can still deny employees contraceptives based on Catholic doctrine against birth control.
Bishop Kicanis says, "This is not an issue about contraception. It's not an issue about partisan politics, although it has become a partisan issue. For the Church it is a concern about a government's intrusion into the right of a religion to define how it will serve others."
State Rep Debbie Lesko (R-Glendale), who sponsored Arizona's bill says it's about freedom for employers and says opponents are spreading lies that it would let a boss fire a woman for using birth control.
Rep. Lesco says, "The employer would not be asking an employee if they use contraceptives of not and they certainly could not fire them. My bill does nothing of that sort."
Employment attorney Don Awerkamp says the proposed law does remove protection against firing over religion.
"But there are protections for employees in the Arizona Civil Rights Act, for example, which they haven't touched yet."
Awerkamp thinks the bill opens the door for employers with religious beliefs against smoking and alcohol, for example, to apply them to employees.
Awerkamp says the bill gives religious objections against birth control more legal standing than religious objections to smoking for instance, the health consequences it could have and the insurance expense it could lead to. He thinks an employer could say his belief should have the same weight and that could force this concept to expand.
He says, "It is really inviting employers to look at their employees religious beliefs and see how they contradict with their own and try to manipulate those religious beliefs by making it more financially difficult to live in accordance with their own."
While Awerkamp says State and Federal Civil Rights law should protect an employee against firing over religion, you could have to sue to prove that---and an employee, or a small business owner may not have the resources to do that.

Allocate Media to a Set and Make Overwriteable
I want to "pre-allocate" a set of sequentially labelled tape library media to a particular media set.
I can associate the media with the set but all of the media immediately take on the media set's overwrite protection/appendable until period. What I'd like to do is allocate the media to the set and make the media overwriteable (thinking about it, if you allocate a scratch media to a media set, shouldn't it be in overwriteable status anyway?)
If I leave the media in the Scratch media set then I can't ensure that BE will use them when it selects a new media for the set.
Can this be done?
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You should leave the media in the scratch media set. Target your job to the desired media set. If there is no suitable media in the targeted media set, your job will look for media in the scratch media set. Once your job finished writing to the media, it will be placed in the targeted media set.
See this document on how BE select media
You are managing your tapes instead of letting BE and the tape library manage your tapes for you. See my article on this subject
When you use partitions, you have to have as many jobs as you have partitions because one job can only target 1 partition. Also, if your OPP/AP is set incorrectly and there is no suitable tape in the partition, your job will fail even if there are suitable tapes in other partitions. This is because BE will not get tapes from another partition.

Dysarthria - care
What to Expect at Home
Dysarthria is a condition that occurs when there are problems with the muscles that help you talk. Most times, dysarthria occurs:
- As a result of brain damage after a stroke, head injury, or brain cancer
- When there is damage to the nerves of the muscles that help you talk
- When there is an illness of the nervous system, such as myasthenia gravis
Tips for Communicating Better
Some simple changes in the way you talk with a person who has dysarthria can make a difference.
- Turn off the radio or TV.
- Move to a quieter room if needed.
- Make sure lighting in the room is good.
- Sit close enough so that you and the person who has dysarthria can use visual cues.
- Make eye contact with each other.
The person who has dysarthria and their family may need to learn different ways of communicating. Some of these are:
- Using hand gestures
- Writing by hand what you are saying
- Using a computer to type out the conversation
- Using alphabet boards, if muscles used for writing and typing are also affected
If you do not understand the patient, do not just agree with them. Ask them to speak again. Tell them what you think they said and ask them to repeat it. Ask the person to say it in a different way. Ask them to slow down so that you can make out their words, if needed.
Listen carefully and allow the person to finish. Be patient. Make eye contact with them before speaking, if possible. Give positive feedback for their effort.
Ask questions in a way that they can answer you with a simple "yes" or "no."
Suggestions for a patient with dysarthria:
- Try to speak slowly.
- Use short phrases.
- Pause between your sentences to make sure the person listening to you understands.
- Use hand gestures.
- Use pencil and paper or a computer to write out what you are trying to say, if needed.

Giant panda adopted
Youth for the Environment (Y4TE) has adopted a giant panda through the World Wildlife Fund following a campaign held during Freshers' Week, during which students visiting the Y4TE stand were asked to vote for their preferred animal.
Y4TE has already adopted an Amur leopard and a sea turtle following adoption campaigns held in previous years.
There are fewer than 1,600 giant pandas left in the wild and the WWF works to help preserve their habitat and protect the remaining pandas from poaching, illegal logging and encroachment.

Support increases for independence - YouGov
The SNP today welcomed an "excellent" poll by YouGov for the Scotland on Sunday
which shows support for independence increasing by 6 points from the most recent
yougov poll to 34% whilst opposition to independence fell by 5 points to 52% with
15% undecided or not voting.
The poll of 1075 adults in Scotland was conducted this week on the 26th and 27th
Referendum Campaign Director Angus Robertson MP said the poll results continued the
trend of increasing support for taking Scotland forward since May's election.
The YouGov poll follows Mori, TNS and Comres polls all showing an increase in
support for independence since May's election.
Mr Robertson said:
"These are excellent figures, showing a growing number of people aspire to a better
future for Scotland by taking responsibility for our own affairs.
"We are only at the start of the referendum campaign, yet support for independence
has already increased by 6 points since May's election – that is significant
progress as voters realise the positive benefits independence can bring to their
future and to Scotland's future.
"As the campaign steps up, support for independence will continue to rise.
"This is the fourth poll since May's election to show an increase in the number of
people backing an independent Scottish Parliament. Coming in the week after SNP
conference where we launched our referendum campaign it's clear that the SNP and our
vision for independence is one shared with people across the country."

Contacts Issue
So when setting up my Z10, my contacts were loaded with all my Facebook friends and the address books from all my email addresses. I've turned them off and unlinked them for each individual contact in my Contacts folder on the BlackBerry however whenever I go to compose a new text etc it's still bringing up the entire list of people from Facebook and all the email addresses as well as the local contacts.
Is there a way to wipe the Contacts database and start over or permanently get rid of all those email address book / Facebook friends showing up?
- 02-08-13, 06:52 PM Thread Author #2
No one has experienced this? I may have to resort to a Security Wipe and start over... le sigh

I don't think you can wipe that data unless you do not use Facebook app. You can hide it(as you already did) but it will still remain in the systemNokia 3310> Nokia 8210> Nokia 1110> Nokia 7610> Nokia N95> iPhone 3G> Nokia N900> Blackberry 9700> Blackberry 9900 White> Blackberry Z10> BB Passport
I believed in OS10 and now a proud owner of it
For all those people who try to talk about how good their phone or OS is, listen, if they were so 'amazing' then I would have left BB long ago and CB would be dead by now. Point is not that I believe I made the best choice among all available phones but I made a choice which serves me best!!!
- 02-08-13, 08:20 PM Thread Author #5
Yup! Did a Security Wipe, re-added everything and went to compose a text and nothing was showing. Success, right? Wrong. Ten minutes later I tried it again and all the Facebook names are in the list when I go to compose a new text.
Why does it have to be this way? Why can't it just be like before where when I go to compose a new text, only my local contacts on the device come up? That's how I'm sure most, if not ALL people want their contacts list to populate. Not 1200 Facebook friends.
- 02-08-13, 08:28 PM Thread Author #6
When I delete my Twitter account from the Twitter App, all the Twitter people are removed from the address list. So basically if I want all the Facebook friends to be gone from the contacts list, I have to delete my account from the Facebook App and not use it.
Great job, BlackBerry! Fantastic upgrade.
Isn't the app just a link to the Facebook website anyways, same with twitter? I deleted Facebook and just use the website and now Facebook is neither in my hub or contacts.
Did you want Facebook updates in your hub but no FB in your contacts?
- 02-08-13, 08:48 PM Thread Author #8
What I want is to be able to use the Facebook App just like I have for years and not have it interfere with my Contacts list AT ALL. I've removed my account from the Twitter App (which is awful anyway) to remove those people from the Contacts list already. Looks like the Facebook App is now useless to me. I was dealing with the random order of the News Feed already but phuq it, the Facebook App is garbage at this point.
There's a few threads with people going through the same thing, have you seen this thread and tried everything recommended?
There was one there about swiping down, pardon me if you have tried all those things.
Edit * damn, won't let me cut paste address properly
- 02-08-13, 08:54 PM Thread Author #10
Welcome to Facebook and changing the sort order to Most Recent was the fix however when I logged in, mine was already set to that. This was never an issue with the Facebook App on my Torch or Bold. I'm kind of disappointed in how awful this app is at this point.
Was that the fix you read as well? Or did I miss a better fix?

the easiest way to work around this issue, which btw for the sake of my sanity i hope gets fixed soon, is to go to contacts app and the on the contact you want to text/call/email or whatever tap and hold and in the context menu to the right choose the action you want to do"If you can't find anything wrong with your OS of choice, you might be a fanboy, if you can't find anything RIGHT with the smartphone OSes you DON'T use, you're definitely a fanboy." - Ashley Esqueda

I don't have a z yet, so take this with a grain of salt, but I read something about the notifications being controlled in the app?
maybe swipe down from the top in the facebook app to get to its settings to see if you can turn off pulling in all the contacts?
- 02-08-13, 09:24 PM Thread Author #14
Hopefully this is something that is addressed in the next upgrade.
The news feed order is another story. Ha!
Thanks for the try though and rest assured, aside from this annoyance, the Z10 is awesome.

Rated 2 out of 5 by lindi from Shower head is a problem I like the way this looked, but it has a no return policy if you use it, and so you don't know how the shower head will work until you use it and this shower head gives you no pressure. We went and got another shower head to replace this one and it is much better, but I didnt like paying for a piece of a set that I will never use. The handles work fine. We had a professional install it and he didn't have any problem, it was just the head gives out very little pressure so you do not get a satisfactory shower.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Nicolas Maduro was sworn in Friday as president after a disputed presidential election that has sharply divided the country between Venezuelans who want to continue the socialist system begun by his charismatic predecessor, Hugo Chavez, and those who contend that the ruling party won through a fraudulent vote.
The inauguration, which many Latin American leaders but no U.S. diplomat attended, came a day after the National Electoral Council ruled that an audit of Sunday's voting could take place. The decision mollified opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who said that by reviewing millions of votes "we can show the country the truth."

I would not pay 950pounds for uwa lens when I would still have distortion out of center of frame…
if it is "natural" for uwa ... then I would rather use standard lens and avoid using uwa at all.
Name a fast 18mm full frame lens that has no distortion and one can buy for 950 pounds?
Not using UWA it is then, cause every UWA has distortion. For 12mm its pretty good. 2,5% barrel isnt that much, considering its for APS-C. If its just regular barrel and not with some sub-frequency, then its even fixable for price of bit of detail.
Its not for architectural photos and if you keep horizont at center, its usually not much visible. Like its case with most UWAs that have just regular distortion (even weak fisheyes).

Bo Jackson Jerseys?????
Forum Readers-
As we all know, ScoreBoard offered Bo Jackson home jerseys for sale. These were tagged and manufactured as gamers.
Please see the current auction on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Bo-Jackson-Royals-1989-Game-Issued-Used-Worn-Jersey_W0QQitemZ8767712510QQcategoryZ60597QQrdZ1QQ cmdZViewItem
Earlier in the month, the same seller offered:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=60597&item=8760827 495
Whats' odd on both of these jerseys is that they are set 2. How often do you see a Rawlings Set 2 tag? Likewise, the 16 on both jerseys appears to be positioned too close to the seam and the buttons. It should be positioned further over near to the S in ROYALS. Compare the jersey in question to the photo in the seller's offering and you notice the difference in the positioning.

Re: Bo Jackson Jerseys?????
I've never seen or heard of a Scoreboard Bo game jersey for sale. The Bo jerseys look good to me, and I won't hesitate to buy one. I'm not surprised based on my hobby experience that there could be 3 or 4 jerseys with the same year/set tag for a major superstar player.
Re: Bo Jackson Jerseys?????
Let me ask you this-how many LEGIT set 2 Rawlings jerseys (especially commons) from 1987-1991 have you seen?
In all of the 1987-1991 Rawlings Phillies jerseys I purchased directly from the team (300 shirts), I had 1 set 2. Likewise, I can't remember more than 4 Rawlings set 2 jerseys I have seen with team documentation in the hobby in all of my years! Like the Jackson in question, it appears that there are a tremendous amount of 1990 and 1991 Rawlings set 2 jerseys in the hobby, all star players, never the commons.
You indicate you are comfortable buying the Bo Jackson jersey in question. Knowing that ScoreBoard sold the exact same jersey, and that the same seller has offered 2 set 2 1989 Bo Jackson jerseys?
Howard Wolf
Re: Bo Jackson Jerseys?????
Bo was the most exciting and talented player in the two biggest American sports: football and baseball. Back in 1989/1990 he was the most popular athlete on the planet. I'm sure he went through a number of jerseys and wore them, autographed them and donated them for charities, gave them to friends and business associates, etc...
End of story. No big conspiracy here! Point blank, I'm comfortable buying them. If you aren't that's fine with me. More power to you!
Re: Bo Jackson Jerseys?????
I commend you for taking the time to at least be open minded to a huge red flag on these jerseys, and likewise, support your decision based on research and facts, rather than simply emotion.
Hats off to you!
Howard Wolf
Re: Bo Jackson Jerseys?????
I stated in the previous post that these all matched the jerseys Scoreboard released. I didn't state that anyone's jerseys were not legitimate, but pretty neat how many Bo Jackson 1989 Set 2 jerseys are for sale as "game issued" and "game used" when The Scoreboard released the same exact 1989 Set 2 jerseys back in 1989-1990.

And here is the third 1989 home Bo, set 2 that is available. AMAZING how 3 of the EXACT same jerseys are available within 60 days, all set 2!
God love these ScoreBoard non-game jerseys!
Howard Wolf
Re: Bo Jackson Jerseys?????
Allow me to put in my 2 cents on this topic. Given the niche of jerseys I collect, it's difficult for me to imagine many more exciting pieces than a legit, game-worn 1989 Bo Jackson jersey. Bo was in his prime and was one of the most exciting players at the time. (Although he lasted longer, Deion Sanders seemed like a poor man's "two sport star" when compared to Bo.) I read with envy about your 1989 All-Star Game used Bo Jackson bat. Given his famous homerun in that game, it's an absolutely phenominal piece to own. Truly one of a kind.
Having said all of that, and being a big fan of Bo Jackson, I personally wouldn't touch these jerseys with a 10 foot pole. Here are my reasons:
1) While I'm also fully aware that many superstar players are typically issued more jerseys than their common player teammates, you also need to take into account that this practice wasn't nearly as prevalent in 1989 as it became later on. To think that stars back then were issued as many jerseys as stars today is inaccurate. I personally find the notion that Bo was genuinely issued (as opposed to ordered for the sake of distributing) a minimum of 8 jerseys in 1989 to be unlikely. Although technically possible, I prefer not to take risks on "unlikely" jerseys. I'd rather save my money for the "likely" jerseys void of huge red flags.
2) I find it extremely odd that of all of the numerous jerseys that Bo Jackson supposedly ordered in 1989, the only ones that seem to be making their way to the market are set 2 home jerseys. I've never seen their road Set 2 counterparts, nor have I ever seen any 1989 set 1's from either home or road. Have you?
Doesn't that seem to indicate that a disproportionate number of 1989 set 2 home jerseys were ordered? For what possible purpose? You say that it's because a superstar like Bo would've gone through numerous jerseys. If that's your hypothesis, then wouldn't he have also gone through numerous set 1's? or numerous set 1 or 2 road jerseys as well?
Where is the logic in thinking that he only went through numerous home, set 2 jerseys? His friends, business associates, etc somehow how stipulated to him that they all wanted only set 2, home jerseys? Obviously that's complete nonsense. Where are all of the numerous Set 1 & 2 road jerseys that he gave away? Where are all of the Set 1 home jerseys he gave away? If he truly ordered numerous jerseys then don't you think some of them should've popped up as easily as all of these Set 2 home jerseys?
As I said, I've never ever seen any 1989 Set 2 road jerseys or 1989 Set 1 road jerseys.
3) It is well known that Scoreboard sold jerseys of this style signed by the major stars of the day. One of the most prevalent seemed to be Jose Canseco. How's this for a coincidence: the Canseco Scoreboard jerseys were also only home, set 2 jerseys. Again, just like with the Bo Jacksons, where are Jose's Set 2 road jerseys? Where as his set 1's?
Byergo, I've seen 20 of these autographed, 1990 Set 2 Cansecos. I think the notion that Jose was genuinely issued 20 Set 2 home jerseys in 1990 is ludicrous. I have little doubt these are Scoreboard jerseys.Spanning the period from 1989-1991, I have seen 3 legit Canseco gamers. They were all Set 1's and two were road jerseys. Yet I've seen 20 Set 2 home jerseys from 1990. Personally, those differences in quantity between home/road/set 1/set 2 are far too substantial for me to ignore. I'll save my money for a road, set 1. IE: a jersey that I know Scoreboard didn't sell.
4) These are the only jerseys I have seen that bear a 1989 flag tag on a 1990/1991 Rawlings tag. The overwhelming majority of 1989 tagged jerseys I've seen were affixed to a 1989 Rawlings tag. Was Bo really that special that Rawlings somehow travelled into the future and issued jerseys to him that the majority of MLB players weren't getting?
Here is the tagging from a 1989 Royals jersey. The tagging shows the correct 1989 Rawlings tag. Why were other Royals receiving correct 1989-style Rawlings jerseys in 1989, while Bo was apparently getting 1990-style Rawlings jerseys in 1989?
If after considering all of these facts, you still feel that it's likely that Bo was genuinely issued these jerseys from the Royals in 1989, then you've got more faith that I do.
