The Droid Library is actually pretty good....

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster here. Just came across The Droid Library recently and thought I'd give it a shot for my Galaxy tab. I signed up, logged into the membership area and was pretty impressed.
You can search for pretty much any eBook, like Harry Potter, the Twilight books, anything. They have a massive range of comic books too, like Superman, Spider-man, X-Men, Manga, Anime, anything. They also have a good range of newspapers, so I get the NY Times on my tab. The format is actually really good and all the downloads are free.
Anyway, I'm not trying to spam this forum or anything. This is an honest review that I thought I would share. I encourage you to try it if you are looking for eBooks and other written media on your Android devices.
See you guys around

#13310 new enhancement
Extend option_name to varchar(255)
Reported by: | scribu | Owned by: | ryan |
Priority: | normal | Milestone: | Future Release |
Component: | Database | Version: | 3.4.2 |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | has-patch 2nd-opinion |
Cc: | fabio84 |
option_name is currently set to varchar(64). This raises problems when one tries to use transients with slightly longer names and a timeout:
_transient_timeout_feed_mod_23a137101df6920fbf6047... has 60 chars already.
Attachments (1)
Change History (7)
- Keywords commit removed
- Milestone changed from 3.0 to Unassigned
This schema change would have a significant impact on large WP networks.
IMO, it should be punted to 3.1 to give admins of large installs an opportunity to implement the schema change prior to running the upgrade.
- Keywords 2nd-opinion added
Yeah, no way we're rushing in a schema change. I'm not sure it's necessary, frankly.
Going to leave the unassigned milestone and tag for 2nd-opinion, but expecting wontfix.
comment:4 chrisbliss18 — 3 years ago
This isn't a bad idea. Especially the specific length.
The get_site_option function uses the options table when the site isn't multisite and uses the sitemeta table when it is multisite. This translates into a maximum name size of 64 characters (length of option_name) for site option storage for non-multisite and 255 characters (length of meta_key) for multisite.
- Cc fabio84 added
- Version set to 3.4.2
Wow, in 2 years you were not able to make option_name a varchar(255)... I tried to use get_transient and set_transient, but I got stuck by this "feature".
As reported also in #15058 with transient values the limit is 45 characters, and if you use hashes and long identifiers to avoid collisions it's quite easy to reach the limit.
Please excuse me for this rant, but developing WordPress plugins using its APIs sometimes is frustrating.

Surrender To No Surrender Studios.
After searching the better part of two years for a studio and artist I felt comfortable with, I came across No Surrender Studios. The piece I wanted to have done is a full rib panel and thigh piece that starts at the armpit and ends at the knee cap so professionalism and artistic ability were at the top of my list.
I've had four complete sessions done to this point spanning roughly 32 hours of work. Zacks ability and talent are pretty impressive and the staff at the studio is very accommodating as well as a pleasure to be around. I've had multiple pieces completed by other artists at other studios and No Surrender Studios is at the top of the list. It's really good to see Zacks work as well as other artists at the studio getting recognition at tattoo conventions across the state.
I highly recommend No Surrender Studios for anybody wanting to get some work done.
No Surrender Studios. I just got a portrait by Tye Harris and I could not be happier with my tattoo. It is simply amazing I am constantly getting compliments on it. Tye and the rest of the staff is very friendly and I felt comfortable there. I will definitely be going back for more! Thanks Tye!

Astley Clarke appoints Carmen Busquets to its board
The online luxury jewellery retailer has recently secured a second round of investment from the luxury fashion entrepreneur taking her total investment in the company to $1.2m (around £752,000)
The current round of funding will be used to increase brand equity and to build the brand's profile in international markets following the launch of its US webstie in April. It will also be used to develop a luxury online collection and interactive technologies to engage the luxury online consumer.
Busquets, who is the founding investor and board director of Net-a-Porter.com, said:
"Astley Clarke is one of the pioneers in building a luxury jewelry brand focused on e-commerce and the first brand to offer a full range of high end, iconic jewellery online, supporting a new generation of luxury consumer who wants the freedom to choose product that is right for them. I believe that Astley Clarke has the potential to become a global brand online as well as offline, competing in the international retail environment."
Bec Clarke, founder of Astley Clarke added: "We are passionate about our brand and are proud to have carved a unique niche for ourselves as a luxury jewellery brand and e-tailer that is far removed from homogenised mass luxury."

I have a really simple form bound to a table that I want to bulletproof for plant operators to enter data. There are five fields arranged in a column under a heading of "Current" which is where the operator will type in the data, and then next to that I have some unbound, disabled, text boxes that are populated from the last record that was entered under a heading of "Most Recent". I haven't yet, but I will remove the record navigation buttons to stop operators scrolling back and "fiddling" historical data. (There is another read-only form to view historical data.) There are three cmd buttons - "New", "Save" and "Close". New clears the textboxes and then populates the first two with a sequential furnace tap number (1 greater than the most recent one) and today's date respectively. The operator will then fill in the time, temperature and tons tapped from the furnace and click on "Save" to submit the record.
I haven't written the few lines of code to do the save yet, but when I click on the record selector to submit the record, I use the "Before Update" event to check that all the fields are filled in with valid data. If something is missing, I cancel the update event and give an appropriate message and return to the form. If all the data is in order, I want to use the "After Insert" event once the new record has been added to populate the unbound textboxes with the latest info and to move to a new record, but not yet populate the first two fields with anything in case there is no more data to be added at that point. If there is more data, then the operator must click on "New" again and the process is repeated.
The code I tried is :
Private Sub Form_AfterInsert()
PopulateRecent 'Copies the relevant fields from the most recent record to the unbound textboxes
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
I don't know if the "Requery" is necessary, but since I am moving to a new record, I didn't think it would matter whether it was there or not. Now here is the problem - once the above code has finished running, the record selector has the focus and the record indicator is on the last record entered. Stepping through the code, when I execute the "acNewRec" line, the form is exactly as I want it - sitting and waiting on a new blank record. When I execute the final "End Sub", the focus jumps to the record selector and the record counter decreases by one back to the last record. Why can't I get the form to sit and wait on a new blank record for input ?
I tried the above code on the "After Update" event as well to no avail. I haven't tried opening the form in data entry mode yet - I don't know if I could use that feature to get around this hassle?
Any ideas please ? I am sure I am missing something really obvious !
All this because I don't want the operator to use the >* to add a new record <img src=/S/doh.gif border=0 alt=doh width=15 height=15>

Microsoft appears to confirm custom Accent colors, Hubs and native PhotoSynth for Windows Phone 8
Custom Hubs & Accent colors for Windows Phone 8? Yes, please.
Earlier in the day we reported that Microsoft was going through the User Voice feedback system and signing off on feature requests from end users.
In short, if a feature is being positioned to be included in Windows Phone 8.x, it gets stamped with a generic "Planned" label from the site Admin for Windows Phone. It is then followed by a comment noting "Just a quick update to let the Windows Phone community know that this feature has been announced for Windows Phone 8".
Indeed, many of the features such as Arabic language support, NFC and 720P displays have been publicly confirmed back at the June 20th Summit, making this forum cleanup standard practice.
But out of the 22 "Planned" suggestions, three stuck out...
- "Support custom Hubs" – Planned
- "Allowing for custom color creation for live tiles and the os rather than only giving a few choices" - I want to design my own colors for live tiles and the OS rather than being limited to a selection – Planned
- "Include Photosynth to the Windows Phone" - Microsoft did a amazing great job with Photosynth that is available for iPhone. Include it to the WP OS as nice feature – Planned
Native PhotoSynth seems like an obvious inclusion, especially with the recently announced Lenses feature. In that sense, we'll file that under 'expected' but certainly welcomed to Windows Phone 8.
The other two though, if accurate, appear to be quite huge.
Fan concept of Folders/Hubs for Windows Phone
The support of Custom Hubs would appear to be the solution to 'Folders' that many users have been asking for quite some time. As consumers add more and more apps to their phones, it makes sense to want to group them together. There's already a great Homebrew solution to this that we use for all of our Photo apps and favorite Games and we greatly approve.
In fact, back in April, Nokia was asking customers if that wanted folders to help them organize their apps. Perhaps that data along with our poll, helped to finally influence such an addition.
The other feature is the ability to create custom Accent colors for Tiles and the system UI. We've already reported that Windows Phone 8 has 10 new colors bringing it up to 20 (plus 1 for OEMs or carriers) and users seem to be quite pleased with the selection.
New accent colors in Windows Phone 8 may also see a "custom" feature (Image via 1800PocketPC)
But an easy solution would be the inclusion of a color-selector where you can choose your own choice for a "custom" look.
That feature may finally make it to Windows Phone 8 as that requested has been stamped with "Planned". That's in addition to similar requests for just more color choices, but not custom ones. That specificity perhaps tells us something.
One of the recently added "Planned" features from a user request
Of course we must caution—things can change and conceivably Microsoft is being generous with some interpretations of these requests. Not to mention, we don't know if these features are complete or planned for the first update to Windows Phone 8 later on. For all we know, they may be even including these in Windows Phone 7.8, seeing that earlier request from today.
Either way, we don't think we've seen all there is to Windows Phone 8, which is why Microsoft may still be so hush-hush on finalized customer features.

My contract isn't up until July 2014. I'm still buying a Lumia 920 as soon as it hits Canada.
Z10YkakPES says:
Same here, just got Nokia Lumia 900 in April on At&t, no way im gonna wait till upgrade, im getting 920
aubreyq says:
Maybe wait until MWC 2013 (Feb) to see what Nokia has to announce?
ImmortalWarrior says:
My contract will be done in December but I've already bought two phones since the first and use them. The contract will not get renewed, I'll just buy the 920 outright and sell my unlocked 900 to one of my dad's friends who are a bit "smart phone challenged" shall we say. They will love it.
jbrandonf says:
Agreed! Selling my black Lumia 800 to get the 920 in gray.
bjax says:
Just sell whatever you're using now and use that money towards buying one off-contract or on ebay/craigslist.
drunken scholar says:
Why, too bad? We won't see the new OS until october, and the Lumia lines probably won't launch until November...sounds like a perfect time for your contract to end.

Damn, can use beta users get some of this love.
12Danny123 says:
Very likely they will get it for you. MS does care alot for us. and they will gladly give wp8 features to us wp7 users
Blackwood504 says:
I read this yesterday, but I assumed they meant the pre made colors.
Munkeyphyst says:
Yeah, the requests specific wording of, "rather than only given a few choices" means they could believe they resolved this with the palette of 20 colors rather than just 10.
Sergio The One says:
Agree. SInce even Windows 8 doesn't have that feature and they seem to be designing WP8 to be as similar as possible to Windows 8.
AgentTheGreat says:
He clearly says "design my own colors rather than..."
I don't think they could get it wrong.
irlju#WP says:
It doesn't really matter if Photosynth is native, does it? It's accessed through Lenses and won't be much different from any other camera app, just that it might be preloaded,
eshy says:
I think that request was made before the app was released. I remember voting for it :-)
Planned doesn't mean native. it should've been changed to Done (since the app was released for wp7 a while back)
blackprince says:
If I remember correctly Joe showed off the Photosynth lens feature on Wednesday briefly.
aubreyq says:
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
Kormiko says:
I would like a 1st party Voice Recorder. There are some okay 3rd party ones, but they aren't the best when it comes to transferring to your PC. The mic in OneNote is not good enough for long recordings. I'm surprised one hasn't been in WP7 yet since iOS has had one for quite awhile.
Wyn6 says:
Mini Recorder Free is great and has easy transfer to Skydrive or Dropbox. I had to use it for a job and it worked flawlessly.
stui83 says:
Rapid recorder smokes the field, but yes, transferability is an issue
kunwar_91 says:
i'm not sure about this but i think WP8 has a native audio recorder as in the specs sheet of lumia 920/820 they have listed recorder , look at the specs of 920 against the 900 at the nokia website
Kormiko says:
You're right. It does say Recorder for the 920... whether it's by Microsoft or Nokia, it's a good sign.
I used to use Pocket Recorder, but that wasn't working very well when trying to get the recordings onto my main computer. I switched to Vivosoft Recorder, which works better, but not the prettiest UI in the world.. sort of plain, but it works. Nimbus Notes seems to have a nice interface, but haven't used it that much.
I'm still a little concerned whenever a 3rd party app asks for me to log into SkyDrive. It's probably fine, but better safe than sorry. I just wish there was a way to just transfer the recording to the SkyDrive app without an extra login step. At least, some of these apps allow me to email a link to myself with the recording... but not great if your recordings need more security.
dukrem says:
I wonder if we'll see a skydrive API in WP8 that could allow you to give an app permission to access it's own folder in skydrive and nothing else. We can only hope.
Jnbs says:
Folders!!! I am waiting patiently for WP8
mjrtoo says:
To me this goes against the entire idea of WP.
JPDVM2014 says:
The beauty is, you dont have to use it if you don't want. More features can almost never be a bad thing.
Jnbs says:
Somehow it does. However, if you have as many apps as I you would be glad to have a folder.. The amount of scrolling will be totally reduced.. I know that the small tiles would work as well, but still I would rather have a folder with all my casual apps than having 6 small tiles that add scroll to my start screen.
sHAYM4N says:
Rather than folders would prefer to see savable tile layouts that you can switch quickly, ie work, travel, social etc.. That was one of the best things about HTC sense for me. Could also assign a specific accent per theme?
Baka says:
Nokia had this on their E73, a "worK' and a "home" profile that you switchbetween. It was a great feature, and maybe something they can do at an OEM level.
schlubadub says:
That's a pretty cool idea... Almost like a "tabbed" interface
life3000 says:
save tile layout would be a great idea
eshy says:
The only announced features that could be referred to here are the smaller tiles or the company hub.
The request was added by the same microsoft account that changed it to planned.
Personally I don't really like the idea of folders, but it's not like it will hurt me to have it on the phone (I don't have to use it)
I'm assuming a 'folder' hub won't be live, which to me is pointless.
ade333 says:
No reason it couldn't be live and just cycle/flip through many screens
schlubadub says:
Is the xbox live hub for games pointless? Or Pictures hub for photo apps? I really don't understand why anyone is against them.
I would settle for being able to add groups or tags to the app list, so I can quickly filter to a certain subset of apps without scrolling.
uberlaff says:
I love the concept of custom hubs. I hope they never take a shortcut and turn Windows Phone icons and folders. Tiles and hubs for the win!
jmerrey says:
Ditto on the color comment above; I think they are referring to the increase in color choices.
Also, custom hubs could be referring to the enterprise hubs they covered at the first wp8 briefing, and probably to hubs being available to 3rd party app developers.
MadSci2 says:
I met with a MSoft Windows Phone Rep last week who confirmed that a "Folders" feature would be part of WP8. I'm calling that one Confirmed! :-D
sudapha says:
I still can't believe that I cannot send a photo to a friend via facebook messages from my phone. This is peanuts to do in iOS and Android.
The web versions of FB don't have the function, the Windows Phone App doesn't have the functions and the Messaging Hub offline Facebook messaging doesn't have it either! :P
Please vote for my suggestion so MS can fix this oversight (because the FB app can't have 3rd party access to upload photos right? -.-): http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/suggestions/3143875-msg-hub-attach-picture-and-send-in-facebook-chat
ShaunKL says:
I'd rather not have folders. 1x1 tiles are good enough for me.
Glim12808 says:
Love crimson & sienna in the new palette. I use brown in my WP7 but I'll shift to either of those colors when I get my WP8!
Glim12808 says:
Oh yes, I also like that they're putting in custom hubs into WP8. Hope they bring that to WP7.8 as well since I intend to continue using my WP7 as alternate phone.
monigal2 says:
People on other os don't know what they're missing..
CrisRowlands says:
I spent a looong time making that theme colours image & you dont give me any credit? Poor show WPC, poor show :P
holmesr says:
I assume you're referring to the 20 color palette showing off the new choices. I'm sure it was an honest oversight Chris, as they seem to always give credit where credit is due.
Either a mistake or they just don't like you. ;) Either way, I thought it was a nice touch.
CrisRowlands says:
Ha, Im not really fussed. Im personally fine with any other WindowsPhone news sites using stuff I've made, we're all out there "preaching the word" so to speak ;) Still, I was just a little susprised to see it :P
CrisRowlands says:
Thank you, I appreciate that. I do feel a bit bad for making a fuss now :P
hammerhand says:
I got an email today about an idea I voted on for making the internet explorer tabs interface on the task bar instead of hiding it in the menu. I haven't seen any screenshots of the new wp8 ie, so hopefully this means they're improving the ui.
CrisRowlands says:
I saw about that in a video a while back. Theyre adding a setting where you can choose what is on the taskbar. You can choose between refresh/stop, tabs & favourites. The two you havent chosen are shown in the menu list. Nice way of doing it methinks. I like choice.
hammerhand says:
Hm, I agree, I like choice also and I'd rather have the choice than what I currently have, but I still expected something... more elegant maybe. If that's the case though, then tabs are definitely going on the bar.
schlubadub says:
Yeah, that was shown during the Nokia stuff. IE8 was definitely better, interface-wise. IE9 took a bit of a step backwards. I.e. Hiding tabs in a menu, no find etc
vladnc says:
Hmm, I just clicked on "Show previous admin responses" for the "Custom Hubs" feature, and found this message: "Sep 24, 2011 This feature is now available in Windows Phone 7.5!". I just created my wpcentral account to comment about that, and something is very strange about this comment form, it doesn't work properly with Internet Explorer 10, nothing happens when I press enter to separate paragrahps. And the plain text editor doesn't work at all, I can't type in it.
electricbopeep says:
Custom hubs? Yes! All that's needed now is a notification center of some sort...
Kreblon says:
Can I get some god damn gapless audio playback? My 10 year old iPod does it. Seems like an intern ought to be able get it working in 10 minutes.
wpos8 says:
peterjr1boom says:
Custom hubs is all that I care about out of those three and I hope it will come to WP7.8
cam45fblax says:
Does this mean that we will be able to assign each individual live tile a color? Or is it just Microsoft referring to a wider array of color choices?
dukrem says:
It'd be pretty awesome if we could asign different colours to individual tiles. I'd use it to create 'groups' of tiles that are the same colour - like blue for communications notifications including email, text, facebook; green for games; orange for news. Would work so good! I wouldn't even need folders if that were the case (ok probably still would like them, but they'd be less necessary).
dnasmyth says:
Just use OneNote
schlubadub says:
Booyah! Custom hubs!! :)
Forc3 says:
photosynth for wp8 is already integraded as a lens app.... did no one notice this?! Watching some hand on videos of the lumia 920 should help haha
Tech feed says:
Thnak Goodness Microsoft is updating Nokia pohones otherwise Nokia was doomed.
danzinho16 says:
Where is the notification center thou?
ejlee072006 says:
Remember.. We can't copy IOS.. copy to my HUB is the smartest thing to do...damn I want different colors for each tile and hub.. I want my phone to look like Xmas fucking tree seriously.. Its about time we get a little bit of customization on WP...lets Do this
CobraJ82 says:
All the features that are mentioned here need to be on the wp8 by default, I don't know how hard it is to be innovative with a phone OS that is new and unique, lol @ they listened to the public and added more tile colors, NFC, and 720p...THIS ARE NECESSARY TO SURVIVE these days.

Among the materials that have played and continued to play a role in the production of mosaic, ceramic is the most versatile. Terra-cotta "threads" were used in Greek mosaics as contours, and tesserae of the same material were frequently used by the Byzantines for the depiction of red objects and garments. Today, glazed or unglazed ceramic is used and is one of the strongest competitors with glass and stone. Ceramic tesserae are cut from tiles or, like much modern glass mosaic material such as pressed glass, come prefabricated. Prefabricated tesserae have the advantage of a very uniform and smooth surface which harmonizes with glass, steel, and other new building materials.

This sequel finds our heroine training with a mysterious covert group called the Sisters of the Hood. But, Red is forced to cut her training short when she gets an urgent call from Nicky Flippers, who returns as head of the super-secret Happily Ever After Agency, aka the HEA. A wicked witch has abducted two innocent children, Hansel and Gretel, and Nicky needs Red for the search-and-rescue mission. Fracturing fairy tales and pop culture with good-natured glee, "Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil" takes viewers on a rollicking rollercoaster ride combining edge-of-the-seat adventure with classic, zany cartoon antics. Rated PG for some mild rude humor, language and action.

Lead paint removal / abatement warning and case report: this article warns about un-supervised or un-trained environmental cleanup companies or work crews handling asbestos, lead, mold, and similar indoor contaminants, including identification of amateur or improper asbestos "abatement" projects that failed to properly remove materials or that left abandoned asbestos materials in place. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2013 InspectAPedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Author Daniel Friedman. Lead Paint Cleanup Troubles - "... the lead paint dust was everywhere!"Readers should see PAINT FALURE, DIAGNOSIS, CURE, PREVENTION - in depth information on paint failure cause, cure, prevention at this website, Also see LEAD PAINT REMOVAL ALTERNATIVES and see LEAD POISONING HAZARDS GUIDE. Question: Who Should I Use for Cleaning Up Lead Paint Dust Left by My Contractor?You're going to love this one. (maybe not). We were getting the exterior of our house painted. Since we have young kids (8 and 10), I thought I was careful to choose a painter only after discussing with the painter to discuss how they dealt with lead. Our house painters seemed to do a good job (removing paint under a tarp to contain the lead, etc) until I went into our garage and noticed a white dust coating over everything and also found their mask, lights, tarp, etc next to my kids bikes! I tested contents throughout the garage and it's a hot zone. The lead paint dust was everywhere and we had lots of items stored all over the garage. The good part is the vendor is taking ownership. He would like to remove everything from the garage, wipe the articles down and box them, and then power wash the garage. (even the overhead electric door opener probably has dust on it.) I'm wondering whether it's better to vacuum everything first (contents and entire garage, then wash down)and with a $500 HEPA lead specific vac vs just using a Shop Vac with HEPA filter. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Maybe there's a business for inspectors who will check the premises for lead during and after a paint job. Maybe I need to hire someone watching the painters next time? We have drains in the garage and driveway. Theoretically, we could filter the water where it drains. Easy to say. I think the ultimate challenge will be to determine after the clean up whether it's really clean. How do I know whoever will wipe every bottle, toy,even fire wood? It's such a mess. Thanks - GK October 2010 Reply: A qualified professional company with expert supervision should be used for any environmental cleanupOur OPINION about this lead dust containment mistake is below:
Therefore you should be using a professional, trained, supervised lead paint or contaminated dust environmental cleanup company to handle this cleanup job. It's too bad, and surely an accident, but the lack of training or attention by the painter appears to have unavoidably increased the cost of this renovation job. Readers should also see LEAD PAINT REMOVAL ALTERNATIVES. Watch out for environmental testing and cleanup that are not performed by qualified experts.

Night stand
The pink box had envelopes in it. I pu them in my desk with the other envelopes. Then used the pink box to replace my pink bag that had scrapbook letters in it, but had seen better days. And I am donating my pink bag and 4 scrapbooks that I never used.
Great job LZA! I am being a slacker tonight. I was up at 3:00am with a migraine and didn't fall back asleep until 5:00 (only to wake up at 6:10). We're watching Once Upon a Time, and then I'm going to bed!
I tried to get DH to put some laundry away. He was whining so I told him he could do it tomorrow instead, but it has to get done. I swear he's just like a kid! I'm sick of doing everything. He does help a lot with Joey, which if he has to help with anything is the best way to help. But after Joey's in bed, he can help a little bit with housework too I think :)
Zone 4: Mission #2 Tuesday
Dear Friends:
It is time to fling some socks and pantyhose today. You know that drawer that is full of old pantyhose and mismatched socks that you have held on to for reasons you don't even know. It is time to go through and toss, toss, toss. Be good to yourself and let go of these things that are cluttering up your bedroom. Hidden in a drawer or not, it is still clutter. Take 15 minutes and toss, toss, toss!
Christie- ecellent progress! Your house is looking clean with sleek lines :) You staircase reminds me of mine. Was you house build 1930/40s? Have a great first day of work! How exciting! Oh, and I have to say I've only seen one episode of HIMYM and it has something to do with Barney chasing a girl. Did that narrow it down for you? No, I didn't think so.
LZA- Your night stand looked good before but you managed to clean it up! Thanks for posting pics!
Jackie- hope your migrane is better. Somehow my DH got out of laundry last night too.
Lisa- strawberry jam and granola sounds great :)
Tuesday- To- Do
DS to/from school
morning routine

This week's inductee in to the Southern Gospel song hall of fame is the most beloved song from songwriter Gordon Jensen. I recall the story Gordon told at the NQC songwriter's showcase several years ago in regards to "Redemption Draweth Nigh". He told of how he took the song to one of the biggest groups of that time period and the group didn't like the song and told him it wasn't the kind of song that people wanted to hear.
Not giving up, he continued to pitch the song until it was finally recorded. Duane Allen of the Oak Ridge Boys told Gordon that "Redemption Draweth Nigh" was the type of song that would be sung for years. Well, that statement came true as most of the groups of the early 1970′s recorded this gem. Even now, groups still record and stage what is now Gordon Jensen's classic.
It is good Gordon didn't listen to the first group who shot the song down but continued to believe in what he wrote because look at all the countless listeners have since heard this song in the decades that followed. Listen to a collection of artists perform this week's inductee in to the Southern Gospel song hall of fame; Gordon Jensen's "Redemption Draweth Nigh".

Greyson Fletcher High-Fives It
May 15th, 2013A Visit To Sweden From The Easter Bunny
March 28th, 2013In other Easter-Fletcher related news, Nathan volunteered to visit the underprivileged children of Sweden and flew out to spend a day with them as the Easter Bunny.
Though there was a severe language barrier, and a few children were frightened to death of the masked marauder, most of the Scandinavian scamps welcomed Nathan with open arms as he passed out Easter baskets full of goodies and treats. Later that day, the villagers honored Nathan by throwing a traditional smorgasbord with exotic reindeer meats and herring.
A good time was had by all!
That Nathan. Always with a heart of gold.
Mr. Fletcher Goes To Washington
March 28th, 2013Christian Fletcher got invited last year to Washington D.C. to participate in the Annual Easter Egg Search with the First Family. As the "Ambassador of Surf" as Michelle Obama liked to call him, the first lady and the rest of the staff really made it a great holiday experience - and one that Christian will never forget!
Now we're not ones to gossip, but we're told that Mrs. Obama really likes popcorn-flavored Jelly Belly's, while the President himself was a big fan of Cadbury Chocolate eggs. Christian also reported back to us that Michelle Obama makes a KILLER egg salad sandwich. Her secret? Add a little dill to the recipe, and voila!
Here's Christian striking a pose with Michelle and her girls on the balcony of the White House, greeting all the children ready to participate in the egg roll.
Come Hear The Fab Fletchers Live!
March 14th, 2013Many people don't know that Herbie, Christian, Nathan and Greyson Fletcher are in a barbershop quartet. Oh, yes! Better known as The Fab Fletchers, the guys have taken their act on the road!
And now that Spring is quickly approaching, The Fab Fletchers have been getting ready for their Easter debut performance at the outdoor San Clemente Music Hall.
Nathan has been working awfully hard on his tap dancing, and Christian has been working equally hard on perfecting his three-shuffle cane swing. Greyson's baritone voice carries the group in their closing rendition of "Bye Bye Blackbird", and Herbie will bring the house down with his overall charming presence. In other words, it's going to be a show you don't want to miss!
So come show your love for The Fab Fletchers. The boys love surfing and skating - there's no doubt about that - but singing together as a foursome is their true passion.

East Coast friends and supporters subjected themselves to the freezing, harsh conditions just to partake in the event that some were calling "where the surf meets New York". The inaugural celebration was a blast and we think it's pretty safe to say that Herbie enjoyed the moment as well.
Here is a pictorial write-up of the event from renowned writer and collector Adam Lindemann (The New York Observer), and from Frank151 Magazine.

The Surfer's Journal: Christian Fletcher & The Body Glove Surf Bout II
February 5th, 2013The year was 1989. A time when the PSAA was the reigning US tour for American surfers, and when volleyball ads took up a lot of ad space in surf magazines. When people rolled up their Gotcha t-shirt sleeves to go along with their tight corduroy Op shorts. Ah, what an era. It was also during the end of this decade when an 18-year-old kid by the name of Christian Fletcher was dropping jaws and taking down some big names. Out with the old, in with the new? Christian was at the forefront, if not the pioneer, of a movement that still has many people trying to catch up and understand. Check out the latest issue of The Surfer's Journal. Writer Ben Marcus picks some brains and gets some interesting commentary on some of the people who were there to witness Christian's aerial assault. Did these guys realize that history was being made?
John John Florence: Victorious At The Volcom Pipe Pro
February 5th, 2013A huge woo-hoo, atta boy, and F#CK YEAAAAAH goes out to Astrodeck team rider and Wunderkind John John Florence. His latest victory at this year's Volcom Pipeline Pro makes it three years in a row that the 20-year-old Oahu native has been able to do repeat business at the prestigious event. We're so stoked and proud of John John. And this is just the start of things yet to come!
February 5th, 2013There was a time when the Fletcher family were more known for their AstroNECK rather than their AstroDECK. That's right. Being the constant entrepreneurial movers-and-shakers that they are, Herbie and Dibi Fletcher invested and created their own line of specialty turtlenecks. They were hand-knitted by Dibi and her mother Tutu and made with tender loving care. The turtlenecks were a HUGE hit and had features on The Today Show, Good Morning America, Conan O'Brien, and QVC. Advertisements of Dibi and the Fletcher men (sans Herbie) were prominent on the pages of GQ, Details, Esquire, Playboy and TeenBeat Magazines. And now back by popular demand, AstroNECK will have a run at Nordstroms and Barneys for the upcoming 2013 Spring Season. How fetching are these things? We hear Brad Pitt has already pre-ordered all three colors (Ivory, Baby Blue, and Gorgeous Grey) for himself. Nice!

Kelly Beierschmitt
ORNL's Associate Laboratory Director for Nuclear Science and Engineering is responsible for the laboratory's nuclear research and development portfolio, including fuel cycle and isotopes research, reactor modeling and simulation and nuclear security technology. In addition, Beierschmitt is also the Executive Director of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and leads initiatives for a small modular reactor technology, research and licensing ORNL's legacy nuclear and radiological facilities. He also oversees the Department of Energy's first Energy Innovation Hub—the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL).
We asked Dr. Beierschmitt how his organization mirrors the Laboratory's past accomplishments as well as its future aspirations.
ORNL has a long history of nuclear research and development. How do our current research efforts reflect that legacy?
The laboratory is, in large measure, defined by its materials research. That's how we got our start in the Manhattan Project, working with exotic nuclear materials. The nuclear challenges of the future are, in large measure, materials problems as well. Success in combining our tradition of nuclear research with our more recently developed computational and materials research and development capabilities is what defines us as a nuclear lab today. We have close to 700 staff members working in areas related to nuclear science and engineering— on projects ranging from nuclear nonproliferation studies to developing materials and components for fusion reactors. These nuclear capabilities are a benefit of our legacy here at ORNL. We want to ensure that these unique capabilities are preserved for our nation's future research and development efforts. To this end, we are currently thinking about what the next-generation high-performance research reactor will look like so that these strategic capabilities are preserved. We must also ensure that ORNL research and training programs stimulate the next generation of leaders in U.S. nuclear science and engineering in the same way the laboratory's Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology of the 1950s and 1960s motivated the leaders of the world's first nuclear energy era.
What do you see as the direction of ORNL's nuclear research program over the next decade?
I think our concentration will continue to be largely in the area of fundamental sciences. We do applied work in the areas of nonproliferation and isotope production, but most of our work will continue to be fundamental research. A good example of the need for this kind of research can be found in the 104 nuclear power plants in the U.S. that generate 20 percent of the nation's energy. If we're going to extend the lives of these facilities, we're going to have to do a lot of research on materials to understand what effect another 20 years of operation will have on key reactor components. Also, in a post-Fukushima world, the nuclear industry is going to want to develop more robust reactor fuel—again a materials problem. Our research programs investigating more durable fuel and fuel cladding are well positioned to help answer these questions. Of course CASL and our related computational modeling tools give us the simulation capability to understand what happens inside a reactor as it ages or when a system fails. This will help drive our experimentation going forward. The combination of these capabilities makes us unique in the world.
How will simulation science help shape the next generation of nuclear reactors?
Simulations allow us to explore what happens at the nanoscale and see the resulting effects on the macroscale. For example, we can look at minute details of how nuclear fuel interacts with its cladding and then scale those observations up and apply them to the reactor as a whole. Not only do we get answers from these simulations, but these studies often help guide the next set of questions—the experiments that allow us to validate what we've seen in the model.
What are the laboratory's contributions to the ITER fusion reactor project?
ORNL has the lead administrative role in the U.S. contribution to ITER. We also have scientists who work on the ITER team on projects like the cryogenic system that injects the fuel into the reactor, plasma control systems and a range of materials development projects. In parallel with our ITER project responsibilities, we expect to increase our long-standing research into the interactions between plasma and various materials since that is one of the challenges in the quest for practical fusion energy.
How have recent events at Japan's Fukushima nuclear facility affected ORNL's nuclear research program?
We are working with the Department of Energy to reevaluate our national research and development priorities to ensure that we're appropriately focused on the challenges that are most urgent and relevant for sustaining and expanding nuclear power as part of our nation's portfolio of clean energy options. We don't think current plans will require a lot of change, but we do see a need to reestablish certain priorities, including developing more robust fuel that can survive reactor system failures, exploring the potential for small modular reactors that may offer enhanced passive safety features, and revisiting issues surrounding the storage and recycling of used fuel.
What do you see as nuclear energy's biggest promise and biggest challenge?
I'm a firm believer that the U.S. economy is going to be driven by the global competition for energy. As emerging countries consume more energy, we're going to be in competition for resources, and cheap fossil energy will be a thing of the past. I support renewable resources like solar cells, biofuels and wind power. However, to get enough power on the grid to meet the demand, nuclear has to be part of our nation's energy equation. It's not a question of if it happens, but when. Our society will decide that we need dependable energy that's not carbon based and not driven by global competition. The sooner we move toward nuclear power in a decisive way, the better off our grandchildren, and their grandchildren, will be.

Mini-ITX is a 17×17 cm (or 6.7×6.7 inches) low-power motherboard form factor developed by VIA Technologies in 2001.[1] They are commonly used in small form factor (SFF) computer systems. Mini-ITX boards can often be passively cooled due to their low power consumption architecture, which makes them useful for home theater PC systems, where fan noise can detract from the cinema experience. The four mounting holes in a Mini-ITX board line up with four of the holes in ATX-specification motherboards, and the locations of the backplate and expansion slot are the same[2] (though one of the holes used was optional in earlier versions of the ATX spec). Mini-ITX boards can therefore often be used in cases designed for ATX, micro-ATX and other ATX variants if desired.
The form factor has provision for one expansion slot, conventionally a standard 33 MHz 5V 32-bit PCI slot. Many case designs use riser cards and some even have two-slot riser cards, although the two-slot riser cards are not compatible with all boards. Some boards based around non-x86 processors have a 3.3V PCI slot, and the Mini-ITX 2.0[3] (2008) boards have a PCI-express ×16 slot; these boards are not compatible with the standard PCI riser cards supplied with cases.
Contents |
History [edit]
In March 2001, the chipset manufacturer VIA Technologies released a reference design for an ITX motherboard, to promote the low power C3 processor they had bought from Centaur Technology, in combination with their chipsets. Designed by Robert Kuo, VIA's chief R&D expert, the 215×191 mm VT6009 ITX Reference Board was demonstrated in "Information PC" and set-top box form factors. He would later go on to design the Mini-ITX form factor. The ITX form factor was never taken up by manufacturers, who instead produced smaller boards based on the very similar 229×191 mm FlexATX form factor.
In October 2001, VIA announced their decision to create a new motherboard division, to provide standardized infrastructure for lower-cost PC form factors and focus on embedded devices. The result was the November 2001 release of the VT6010 Mini-ITX reference design, once again touted as an "Information PC", or low cost entry level x86 computing platform. Manufacturers were still reticent, but customer response was much more receptive, so VIA decided to manufacture and sell the boards themselves. In April 2002 the first Mini-ITX motherboards—VIA's EPIA 5000 (fanless 533 MHz Eden processor) and EPIA 800 (800 MHz C3)—were sold to industrial customers.
Enthusiasts soon noticed the advantages of small size, low noise and power consumption, and started to push the boundaries of case modding into something else—building computers into nearly every object imaginable, and sometimes even creating new cases altogether. Hollowed out vintage computers, humidors, toys, electronics, musical instruments, and even a 1960s-era toaster have become homes to relatively quiet, or even silent Mini-ITX systems, capable of many of the tasks of a modern desktop PC.
Mini-ITX boards primarily appeal to the industrial and embedded PC markets, with the majority sold as bulk components or integrated into a finished system for single-purpose computing applications. They are produced with a much longer sales life-cycle than consumer boards (some of the original EPIAs are still available), a quality that industrial users typically require. Manufacturers can prototype using standard cases and power supplies, then build their own enclosures if volumes get high enough. Typical applications include playing music in supermarkets, powering self-service kiosks, and driving content on digital displays.
VIA has continued to expand its Mini-ITX motherboard line. Some of the earlier generations included the original PL133 chipset boards (dubbed the "Classic" boards), CLE266 chipset boards (adding MPEG-2 acceleration), and CN400 boards (which added MPEG-4 acceleration). Second generation boards featured the EPIA M, MII, CL, PD, TC and MS — all tailored to slightly different markets. Legacy VIA boards use their x86-compatible CPUs — the C3, C7 or low-power Eden variants, with newer boards featuring the VIA Nano CPU, launched in May 2008.[4] Other manufacturers have also produced boards designed around the same form factor, using VIA, but also Intel, AMD, Transmeta and PowerPC technology.
Intel has introduced a line of Mini-ITX boards for the Atom CPU, which demonstrates a significant increase in processing performance (but without added power consumption) over older VIA C3 and C7 offerings and is key to making the form factor viable for use in personal computers. Other manufacturers saw the potential of the form factor and followed suit, some even not limiting themselves to the Atom, as evidenced by Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX board[5] that supports Core 2 Duo CPUs with FSB frequencies up to 1333 MHz, two separate-channeled 800 MHz memory slots and fully functional PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot that could connect through SLI to the onboard video.[6] This new wave of offerings has caused Mini-ITX to explode in popularity among home users, hobbyists and even overclockers.
Intel is currently one of very few manufacturers of Mini-ITX mainboards that also include the mechanical dimensions in their manuals.[7]
Consumer product [edit]
Since VIA focuses on IPC, their Mini-ITX products were designed and sold to the industrial and system integrator markets. Aopen is the primary early provider that designed and marketed Mini-ITX motherboards to the consumer market in 2006.
Intel-based products [edit]
Intel Pentium (775) processors were supported in the early mITX formats. Intel Atom processors are currently used solely on mITX format motherboards.
There are many contemporary LGA1155 mainboards for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs in Mini-ITX form-factor on the market now. A typical Mini-ITX LGA1155 mainboard not only allows for integrated graphics, but can also take an external graphics accelerator. That is why there is often a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. Moreover, many mainboard makers provide their products with additional mini-PCI Express slots that can be used for extra expansion cards, such as Wi-Fi, TV-tuner cards, SSD, etc. SATA 6 Gbit/s and USB 3.0 are often supported on the original versions of these mainboards, which is why Mini-ITX LGA1155 mainboards can be high-performance / up-to-date platforms.[8]
AMD-based product [edit]
AOpen also made the first AMD based Mini-ITX motherboard, the MCP68PVNt-HD,[9] it supports HDMI and HDCP for home theater PC systems and comes with the MCP68PVNT chipset for AMD Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64, and Sempron CPU with AM2 socket. The MCP68PVNT supports DirectX 9 and the H.264 hardware decoding decreases the CPU load when playing HD content. AOpen nMCP68PVNt-HD has a HDMI port that support 480P, 720P and 1080P high-definition video and audio with HDCP.
Power [edit]
The Mini-ITX standard does not define a standard for the power supply, though it makes some suggestions of possible options. Conventionally Mini-ITX boards use a 20- or 24-pin "original ATX" power connector. This is usually connected to a DC-DC converter board which in turn is connected to an external power adapter. Generally both the power adapter and the DC-DC board are supplied with the case.
Some boards have built in DC-DC converters and converters have also been made to plug directly into the ATX connector (e.g. the PicoPSU), either of these options avoids the need to mount a separate DC-DC converter into the case, saving space and design effort. Boards using full-power Intel or AMD CPUs typically use ATX12V 2.x connections and require a case with appropriate power supply and cooling for these more power-hungry chips.

A Geisha of Gore Anime Review by Colleen Wanglund
I love Asian horror films, but I also love Japanese anime in its various genres. Not all of it, but a lot of it. Some anime, which in a lot of instances is based on manga (Japanese comic books) is geared for young kids. And then there is the anime that is targeted to 'tween girls. Even some of the action anime, while containing copious amounts of blood and violence, still have some very childish sequences and has caused much eye-rolling while viewing. HELLSING however, is a horror anime that is for older teens and adults.
Based on a manga of the same name by Kouta Hirano, HELLSING takes place in modern-day London where the Hellsing Organization's mission is to rid the world of non-humans, or vampires. Centered around the Holy Order of Protestant Knights, they defend Queen and Country from the undead. The secret government organization is led by 22-year-old Integra Hellsing who inherited it from her father upon his death. Integra is a strong young woman, especially in her convictions, even when faced with her possible death and temptation. She is also the last of the Hellsing line.
In the first episode we are introduced to Alucard, the Hellsing Organization's secret weapon. Alucard is sent to the village of Cheddar to kill a vampire posing as a priest. A police special operations unit was originally dispatched to the village but the unit was attacked and there is only one survivor. That lone survivor, Seras Victoria, finds the vampire, but is used as a shield when Alucard shows up. Seras agrees to let Alucard kill her and turn her into a vampire in order to destroy the priest/vampire. Upon Seras Victoria's transformation, Alucard tells Integra to have her transferred to the Hellsing Organization. Alucard is now Seras's Master.
Seras Victoria doesn't quite realize what has happened to her. She knows she is a vampire, but she doesn't know how powerful she really is. She has refused her daily blood ration, in an attempt to hang onto her humanity. Alucard tells her she must drink the blood or she will continue to get weak. During the third episode of the series Alucard offers Seras his own blood which would effectively set her free from the control of humans, but she chooses not to drink from him. She does eventually drink the medical blood ration she is given.
It is also the third episode that introduces Alexander Anderson, a warrior priest with the Vatican's Section XIII Iscariot, which is a secret organization whose mission is to destroy all non-humans and heretics. Anderson has the same regenerative abilities and strength as Alucard and is called a Regenerator, although he is human. It is never clearly stated how Anderson came to have these abilities but it is hinted at being either science or divine. There is clearly a potentially deadly rivalry between the Hellsing Organization and Iscariot. Belonging to the Vatican, Iscariot is Roman Catholic, while it is stated that Hellsing is staunchly Protestant, and this creates a surprising religious undercurrent.
HELLSING is only thirteen episodes long and focuses on the Hellsing Organization's search for who is responsible for creating artificial vampires by implanting a specially engineered chip (called a freak chip). Alucard faces off against the Valentine Brothers, who are artificially created, as they storm Hellsing's headquarters with an army of ghouls. Ultimately they are no match for the more powerful and very real vampire Alucard and his compatriots in the organization. In the last episode, a final battle occurs between Alucard and a weird-looking vampire called Incognito, who says he was born to destroy. It is during this final battle that blatant hints are made as to who Alucard actually is (although if you haven't guessed by now…).
The anime is dark and bloody and definitely not for children. There are some very gruesome creatures called ghouls that while made by vampires, actually resemble zombies. The ghouls are mindless and shambling and will eat their prey, as well as take orders from the vampire who created them. The story is a very good one and unlike some other anime series, HELLSING has no filler episodes that wander away from the main story. And while the anti-hero Alucard fights on the side of good, it is only out of an obligation to the Hellsing family that he does so. The main character of the anime is the police woman-turned-vampire Seras. Even though she struggles with her new existence as a vampire, she is loyal to both the organization and Alucard. Did I mention Seras is a redhead? Well, her hair is really orange, but you get the idea. One other very cool character is Walter who is Integra Hellsing's assistant/bodyguard/butler. Walter's nickname is The Angel of Death and he can still throw down when necessary, even though he is retired from fighting due to his age.
While an entertaining anime series and one of my favorites, I must point out that HELLSING does not faithfully follow the original manga. The stories are very different and the anime keeps a very narrow focus with its climax involving a character who isn't even in the original manga–Incognito. Incognito is very powerful and said to come from the "dark continent" which is (usually) a reference to Africa.
HELLSING is still a very satisfying series to watch because it is quick and to the point. It also has a very cool finale and ties up its story pretty nicely, for the most part. The character development is well-done for such a short series, with most of the important revelations coming in the last few episodes, although there are teasers throughout. I can't tell you how many anime series I have stopped watching because of endless filler episodes and no actual ending in sight. What is also really cool about this anime series is that it has a more Stoker-esque feel to it, as opposed to the more science fiction feel of other vampire anime such as TRINITY BLOOD or BLOOD+.
If you want a little more meat, you could read the manga, which is more complex, involving the Millennium Group, Hellsing and the Vatican's Section XIII Iscariot. The Millennium Group is basically a neo-Nazi organization and their purpose involves revenge for something that occurred during World War II. All three organizations come together in a violent apocalyptic battle in London. It is very different from the ending of the anime, BUT the anime still holds up well on its own.
In addition to the anime and manga, there is an OVA (original video animation) series called HELLSING ULTIMATE. The eight OVA episodes are more faithful to the original manga with just a few minor changes. As a matter of fact, the first episode of the OVA follows the manga's first volume almost exactly. The OVA episodes are also longer than the standard twenty-three minutes of the television anime, although the length does vary from one episode to the other. Unfortunately only seven of the eight OVAs have been translated into English at this point (and I am patiently waiting for Number 8).
HELLSING, the television anime, was produced by Gonzo and brought to the United States and Canada by Texas-based FUNimation Entertainment. It is definitely worth seeking out, as it is one of the best horror anime out there in both story and artwork. It's also got one hell of a soundtrack composed and performed by Yasushi Ishii.

I've heard you mention that lens before, and I think it's a pretty interesting and unique idea. From a size standpoint, I believe it might be reasonable (although, since I'm not an optics engineer, I'm not sure how difficult such a lens would be to design). Sigma (with the 18-35mm f/1.8) and Olympus (with the 14-35mm f/2 and the 35-100mm f/2) have proven that zoom lenses can be designed and sold with apertures greater than f/2.8 (albeit with a smaller image circle). The lens you have proposed is probably the ideal candidate for a larger aperture zoom with a 35mm image circle (wider than 35mm or longer than 85mm would probably start to make the design prohibitively large).

May 6, 2008 Rod Sweet Men's 70 53 posts | Hi Fred, we should not have to ask for this kind of info, I would think a two week notice before game time is workable. When things like this happen makes me think not enough teams. Althrough I have noticed this happens a lot. |
May 7, 2008 Fred Scerra Men's 80 547 posts | I know. It starts 8 days and we don't know what our schedule is yet. I know there are 6 teams in the 70 Div but don't who or when we are playing. |
