Challenges welcome and possibly accepted
I just got back into running after a while off and really dig this nike+ thing. I was wondering if we could start getting the challenges going. I don't know very many people, and of them none have the nike+. If you are interested let me know I think it would be a great motivator.
(also darn those people who are already messing things up with 520 miles run the first day on the rankings. we dont believe you, you just ruin it for everyone else. I sound like my mother so I will stop typing now.

This is a temporary meeting place for Nike+ challengers until the community section on the Nike+ site becomes active.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me! About two months ago, I received a text from Verizon stating,
"Verizon appreciates your loyalty. You are currently on the $50/2GB plan. You can now get an extra 2GB of data per month for the same price you pay now. There's no change to your voice plan or contract. Would you like to move to this new plan?"
Of course, I was tempted but thought it was too good to be true. So I called Verizon and spoke to customer service. I basically received the same message - nothing would be changed other than increasing the data plan to 4GB; the monthly rate and contract would remain the same. And I accepted the offer because it was so good!
Now, two months later I find my monthly rate is higher by ~$15. The first month, I called and received a credit - the customer service agent could never figure out why my employee discount was automatically dropped, but ensured me it wouldn't happen again. It was easily resolved and only cost me about 30 minutes in time to call in to get a resolution.
Then I get the next bill... I just chatted with customer service again this morning for this month's bill and suddenly the game has changed... I was told "promo" plans have never been allowed to receive employee discounts. Confuse me?!?! I would imagine this is something that should have come up sooner!
At any rate, I now was forced to go back to the original plan to ensure my bill would remain the same. However, I'm fuming that a company as large as Verizon could use such trickery and get away with it. It's frustrating that I have to babysit my bill and now have been misled. Here I was thinking Verizon's customer service with superior when in reality my "loyalty" plan was designed to cost me more money! Be aware when excepting these offers and they are ultimately a sales scheme.Well your very welcome just want to be clear there is a BIG difference between loyalty plans and loyalty Data. The data makes no change to the plan at the same rate, the plan changes you to one of the lower amounts possible not allowing the discount to apply to the acct. which is why online when checking the status you can still see you are valid but its not reflecting, unfortunately with this problem VZW cant really apply the discount because its a system reading not a mess up on an agents part. If you contact employment validation they will actually tell you the accurate info which is exactly as im explaining (1-800-890-8007) hope they clear it all up for you.
have a great day all -
Blocked account and possibly blocked IP address
My account was blocked three days ago after I tried to change my payment method. at the same time, my mother's account is blocked as well( we shared a same skype payment method).
I tried to file report and fix the problem, but without any explaination, Skype terminate my account and my mother's account along with my unused 3 month unlimited world suscription, 3 month sigapore subscription and one month china subscription. I lost about 50 dollars without any mentions of refund.
now try to contact my family, I decide move on to register a new account. but as soon i register a new account (with a new email address), and tried to purchase the subscription, the skype will block my new account.
I want to know how to register a new account and pay for a subsciption and possible way to get my refund from my old one.limj wrote:

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
1. Your account is not terminated - it's just temporarily blocked - and as soon as it is unblocked you can resume using your Subscriptions.
2. That will have no effect. To request that your account is unblocked please contact Skype customer service

You can try this...
go to http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp, enter your billing address, it will then show you how the USPS recognizes your address. Enter that address EXACTLY how it is shown on the USPS site into your itunes billing address info. -
Is there a BAPI that gives the status information (and possibly more) of a
Hi All,
We are using an external document image system where we scan and code vendor invoices. They are send to our SAP system via a BAPI.
We want to update the status of the invoice in the document image system from the status in the SAP system, so whether it is still open or has been paid and cleared. Is there a BAPI that gives the status information (and possibly more) of a specific vendor open item?
Regards,
GerritAre you sure about that? Several highly regarded, widely downloaded apps, e.g., eReader, have an option to hide the status bar. The developer forums are awash in discussions about the commands to hide the status bar-- it's built in to the SDK.
I figure someone will have put out a small program that does nothing but hide the status bar or allow its tweaking... much like StatusBar does on the Palm OS 5 PDAs... -
Aperture 3 Hanging after upgrade and possible solution
In advance, sorry for the long post:
As many have reported already, I was also a user of Aperture staring at the beachball and finding my computer hanging completely up to the point I was ready to give it flight lessons for free. I might have done this to my MacBook Pro if I was not leaving for an overland trip to Capetown from the Netherlands in a Toyota Land Cruiser in 2 days. If you want to read about the trip: www.africaminded.com.
How did I solve the issue in my case? I hope it helps some of you.
*My aperture setup*
Before you go through all the steps below let me explain how my Aperture workflow was set up:
1. Projects in Aperture correspond to folders on my harddrives. The project folders in Aperture contain reference files to the fils on my harddrives. The folders on my harddrives have the same name as the projects in Aperture. Using the same name does not really matter much, except I find it easier to find images from aperture back on my harddrive without having to use aperture to find the images.
2. I do not have the images imported into an Aperture library because this alllows me to access the images with other applications than Aperture (Photoshop etc).
Preparations:
*Actions I took before I started with a clean Aperture:*
1. Launch Aperture with holding the shift key. This defers Aperture from processing images in the library. Tip from Apple website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
2. Show Keywords HUD and export the keyword list in a separate file onto the desktop
3. Create folder on desktop called "Exported Projects"
4. Drag project by project to the just created folder. Yes this is a painstaking long process and one I would have liked avoided but I did not find any other solution and needed one. Luckily I only had 44 projects to go through.
5. Close Aperture
6. Delete the user preferences
1. Quit Aperture if still running.
2. In the Finder go to ~/Library/Preferences. (The tilde "~" represents your Home folder).
3. Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
7. Move the user created presets, keyword lists, and so on...
1. Quit Aperture.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture.
3. Move the contents of this folder to your Desktop
8. Delete your old Aperture Library or move it to another harddrive. If possible do not empty the bin of your computer (just in case you need the library again - I did not after following all steps below).
9. Reinstall Aperture; Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs nearby before starting this.
1. Open the Applications folder.
2. Drag the Aperture application to the Trash.
3. Insert your Aperture installation disc and install Aperture.
4. When finished, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu to update your software to the latest version.
*Now your computer has a clean install of Aperture*
1. Launch Aperture
2. Show Keywords HUD and import the keyword list that you saved in a separate file on the desktop
3. Move the following files back into ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture:
1. Adjustment Chain Presets.plist
2. FileNamingPresets.plist
3. Metadata Presets.plist
4. MetadataSets.plist
4. Close Aperture and go to
Following the steps below allows you to keep all you metadata and rating as well. It is possible in Aperture 3 to read and import sidecar files containing metadata but this will not include the rating! So if you want to keep your metadata and your ratings, follow the steps below:
(*A) Importing Project*s
1. Launch aperture
2. File > Import >Library / Project
3. After selecting the exported project you want to import, confirm you want to merge the project
4. Which library should be used when a conflict is detected? Choose current library (and not the library/project you are importing).
5. Let Aperture take its time to merge the projects (depending on the size of the project you import this can take longer and you might see the famous beach ball for a few seconds). In the beginning it will look like Aperture does nothing or hangs again.
6. After merging the libraries are completed Close Aperture.
7. Launch Aperture and immediately select Window > Show Activity from the menu. Let Aperture process new previews (this should start automatically after opening Aperture). Show activity will give you an idea how far Aperture is when processing the images so you don't have to stress and stare at the spinning wheel in the bottom left corner.
8. After the processing has finished Close Aperture again to save the new previews and share them with iLife and iWork.
9. Repeat the above until you have imported all your projects. Remember to keep repeating step 6 to 9. This allows you to find out which project contains corrupted images or is corrupt and to deal with it separately. Importing all projects at the same time and then processing all pictures at the same time does not give you the opportunity to figure out how to get rid of the beachball!
*(B) What to do when images are corrupted in a project?*
In case you imported a project that was corrupted or contains corrupted images that causes Aperture to hang completely and slow down your computer to a complete halt:
1. Force quit aperture
2. Reopen aperture and immediately press the shift key after launching the program. Pressing the shift key stops Aperture from rendering/processing the images you imported from the "corrupted project".
3. Select the last imported projected (the one that contains 1 or several corrupted images and gave you the beachball again).
4. Delete the project and empty the trash in Aperture as well. Do not delete the master files associated with you referenced images.
5. Move the corrupted project into a folder called "Corrupted projects". Do not throw the corrupted project away - we will deal with this one later. Just make sure they are not part of the main library you are building.
6. Quit and launch aperture. Aperture should not be processing any images anymore as you already completed that with step 8 above.
7. Complete the importing of your projects following the exact steps above, skipping the corrupted project.
Ps. In my case I found 1 project with corrupted images.
*(C) What do you do with the corrupted projects?*
1. Make sure that Aperture is not yet running.
2. Double click the corrupted project and press the shift key to defer the processing of images. This will launch aperture and treat the project as an individual library.
3. Select all thumbnails and export masters to a new folder and select "Create IPTC4XMP Sidecar File" in the pulldown list where it says "Metadata" in the export window. You should now have all master images of this corrupted project and the sidecar files containing the metadata of these images in the same folder.
4. Quit Aperture
5. Press the Alt-Key/Option-Key and Launch Aperture. Aperture should now ask you which library you want to open. Select your Main Library that contains all the projects you imported following step 1-9 above.
6. Create a new project for the images you are going to import from step 3 of section C.
7. Import the images and move them to where you want them to have. Aperture should import the non-corrupted images including their metadata (as the sidecar file of these images is in the same folder as the images). All you have lost in this case is the rating and possibly the adjustment of these images. The IPTC data will be imported by Aperture in step 9 Section C. You could survive having to redo the rating manually. Redoing the adjustments is a bit of more work, sorry.
8. Quit Aperture.
9. Launch Aperture with pressing the alt-key or option-key and select your main library as in step 5 and select "Show Activity" from the menu. You are now back into step 7 of section A. Complete step7, step 8 and 9 of section A.
*D. Congrats*
1. When all projects have imported correctly delete the projects from your harddrive to gain space.
2. Delete the temporary Aperture library created in section C step 2.
3. Re-install plug ins that you might have moved in the preparation phase (if possible 64-bit versions if available)
Congrats. You now have a completely new and well functioning new Aperture 3 library that offers you all the new features and is very fast I should say. My machine: MacBook Pro 2.93GHz with 4GB Ram.
After you think you can trust Aperture again empty your bin to gain space on your computer.
How long did this take me? All in all about 3 days but not full time luckily. How many real corrupted images? None - something else in the project data was messing everything up.WOW!
I'm REALLY impressed by your exhaustive and detailled description!
How long did it take to write? Sure longer than the import itself...
Thank you so much. I got a working import of Ap2 lib before but your description have me various hints for handling problematic or faulty projects.

I changed my email address (apple id) and password on my pc, but now my ipad mini icloud is asking me for my icloud password with the old email address and not accepting the old one or the new one..how do i change it / sync it?
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have my Kurzweil connected to my MacBook Pro via an adapter (old style MIDI from Kurzweil to USB adapter connecting to Mac). The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. Can anyone please tell me which of the channels I should use? Also, should I leave the MIDI In cable out of the Kurzweil? Thanks for as detailed an answer as possible. If you like you can respond directly to me at [email protected]
First of all I do not own this keyboard. But a quick look at the manual (found on the internet) says that when first powered up the SP88 is in Internal Sounds mode. Meaning you hear the sounds selected when playing the keyboard. It also stated that the default Midi Transmit Channel is Midi Channel #1.
Looks like you would need to go to the SP88 Keyboard's MIDI SETUP and simply select LOCAL OFF. Now the keyboard should be ready to transmit Midi Out only and no internal sounds should be heard.
Next you may or may not need to do this but you might need to go into the Utilities Folder found in your Applications Folder on your Mac and double click AUDIO MIDI SETUP the keyboard Icon. Figure #1 below.
Next you need to make a physical connection from the Midi Out of the SP88 to the Midi In on your Midi Interface. Figure #3 below. You may need to Click on Add Device first. Figure #2 below.
In the examples shown below I have a Yamaha Electronic Drum Kit that is Midi Out only... not USB out. I had to plug a Midi cable from the Midi Out Port on the back of my Drum Module to the Midi In Port on the back of my Motu 828 Audio Inferface which is connected to my Mac. Next I created the Audio Interface and Drum Module "Devices" as mentioned above.
I then double clicked on the Drum Module and made my Midi Out Selections. Figure #4 Below. And once it was setup and the icons closed I used my mouse to draw a virtual cable connection from the Drum Module Out to the Audio Interface In. Figure #3 below. This is how I got my Midi Devices to talk to one another.
Once you have made your setup as I have outlined create a MIDI Instrument Track in Garageband, select an instrument for example a Piano then Record Enable that track in Garageband and see if you now hear what you are playing. In this example the SP88 is a Midi Controller only and you will only hear sounds selected in Garageband which is what you want.
Keep in midi your setup may be different than mine. You can keep your SP88 Keyboard on the default Midi Channel #1. That would be a good place to start. Garageband receives Midi on all channels. -
I think this article is misleading, it seems that "AirPort Disk Utility" no longer exists in 10.7 Lion (and possibly hasn't existed since 10.5).
Good luck, I've treid with this one:

Best Way to Aggregate Multiple Announcement Apps and Possibly External RSS Feed
Hello,
I have two separate announcement apps (one in sub-site A, and one is sub-site B). I am trying to create a webpart that will display content from both apps together.
I have tried to setup a CSWP and have been able to set the query to pull in the data (Although it shows expired announcements, which I would need to eliminate). Now, I am trying to customize the display of the CSWP, including the property mapping values
to display the announcement title (currently working with the URL as a link) and body (truncated like the announcement summary view if possible).
How can I get the body from the announcement to display? The 'body' field isn't listed as an option in the drop down list of mapping values. Do I need to toggle an option on the separate announcement apps, create a column, map a field, or some combination?
Also, I'd like to know if it is possible to add in an external RSS feed. Or, if there is a completely different way to approach and accomplish this, please let me know.
Thank youHi,
To display the “Body” field of Announcements list properly in Content Search Web Part, you can take a look at this blog about how to customize the display template for a good
