Description [0001] This invention relates in general to the field of medical devices, more particularly, this invention relates to a flexible elongate member such as a medical guide wire or catheter having one or more electrical contacts. [0002] Flexible elongate members used in medical applications such as guide wires, catheters, etc., which have electrical devices (e.g., pressure sensors, ultrasound transducers, pressure flow measurement devices, etc.) need to have one or more electrical contacts typically close to the proximal end of the member. The electrical contacts allow for the electrical interconnection of the electrical device found on the flexible elongate member, for example, a pressure sensor, to an external monitoring apparatus. [0003] Currently there is some difficulty in manufacturing small electrical contacts on flexible elongate members such as guide wires having a diameter in the order of 0.018 inch or less. In FIG. 1 there is shown a prior art guide wire 100 having an electrical device in the form of a pressure sensor 110 located in proximity to the distal end of the guide wire 100. Pressure guide wire 100 includes a plurality of electrical contacts 104 separated by insulator bands (spacers) 116 which help form a cylindrical connector located close to the proximal extremity 102 off the pressure guide wire 100. These electrical contacts 104 are electrically interconnected to pressure sensor 110 and allow for the connection of the pressure sensor to an external monitoring apparatus. [0004] The pressure guide wire 100 further includes a shaft also referred to as a hypotube 106 typically formed of stainless steel, a flexible coil member 108 located on one side of the pressure sensor 110, a radiopaque coil 112 located on the other side of pressure sensor 110, and a tip 114. The pressure sensor 110 is electrically interconnected to contacts 104 via a plurality of electrical conductors (not shown), which run through the inside of the flexible coil 108 and shaft 106. [0005] The cylindrical guide wire connector formed by contacts 104 is interconnected to a female connector 200 shown in FIG. 2. The proximal end 102 of pressure wire 100 is inserted in to the nose section 206 of connector 200 such that contacts 104 become electrical coupled to corresponding contacts located inside of the swivel head 204. The other end of connector 200 includes a pin plug 202, which interconnects to an appropriate monitoring apparatus, in this case a pressure monitor (not shown). In use, the distal end of pressure wire 100 is inserted into a vessel (e.g., artery) of a patient in order to measure the pressure at certain locations along the vessel, which is under investigation. [0006] One problem with pressure guide wire 100 is that the individual electrical contacts 104 are very difficult and expensive to integrate into the guide wire. Contacts 104 are individual metal bands, which are separated by non-electrically conductive spacers 116. During manufacture, each of the individual contacts 104 have to be soldered to the appropriate electrical conductor (not shown, e.g., electrical wire), which is attached to pressure sensor 110. [0007] After the appropriate electrical conductor is soldered or welded to its corresponding contact 104, each individual contact has to be adhesively bonded to the rest of the guide wire 100. The spacers 116 also have to be individually inserted and bonded to the adjacent contact(s) 104. The bonding of the spacers 116 and contacts 104 causes further problems in that the adhesive which bonds them together tends to seep between the joints and has to be removed from the exterior portions of the proximal end of the guide wire 100. Given the small size of the guide wire 100, all of these time consuming steps have to be performed by assembly workers using microscopes which further increase the opportunity for manufacturing mistakes to occur. [0008] Problems can also occur with the contacts 104 or spacers 116 becoming separated from the rest of the assembly due to bad bonding of a particular contact 104 or spacer 116. Another manufacturing problem occurs with the solder joints, which interconnect the electrical conductors coming from pressure sensor 110 to the individual contacts 104. Given that the electrical conductors have to be, soldered to the inside surface of the contacts 104, there is very little room in which to solder the contact with a soldering tool, thus some bad solder joints can occur during production. [0009] A need thus exists in the art for a contact assembly, which can overcome the problems associated with the prior art mentioned above. [0010]FIG. 1 shows a prior art pressure guide wire. [0011]FIG. 2 shows a prior art connector that interconnects the guide wire of FIG. 1 to a monitoring apparatus. [0012]FIG. 3 shows an electrical connector in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention before it is rolled-up into a substantially cylindrical shape. [0013]FIG. 4 shows the electrical connector of FIG. 3 interconnected to a plurality of electrical conductors in accordance with the invention. [0014]FIG. 5 shows the assembly of FIG. 4 in a rolled-up form. [0015]FIG. 6 shows the rolled-up assembly of FIG. 5 mounted to a portion of a core wire. [0016]FIG. 7 shows the assembly of FIG. 6 with a shaft attached to the electrical connector in accordance with the invention. [0017]FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of FIG. 7. [0018]FIG. 9 shows an alternate embodiment of the electrical connector. [0019]FIG. 10 shows a pressure guide wire in accordance with the invention. [0020]FIG. 11 shows an alternative embodiment in which a tubular substrate is used to form the electrical connector. [0021]FIG. 12 shows the tubular member of FIG. 11 after metallization of its outer surface. [0022]FIG. 13 shows the tubular member of FIG. 12 after it has been cut and overlapped. [0023] Referring now to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 3, there is shown a circuit carrier (substrate) such as a substantially cylindrical electrical connector 300 comprising substrate 302 and three electrically conductive bands 304, 306 and 308. The electrical connector 300 is the preferred embodiment is formed form a �flex� circuit or flex circuit board 302 which is preferably manufactured from a polyimide such as KAPTON� manufactured by Dupont, Inc., or other flexible materials used in the art. The thickness of substrate 302 should be such that it can be re-shaped in a relatively tight radius of curvature. The flex circuit could, for example, be of the order of 25 um thick, or less. [0024] The flexible substrate 302 preferably includes an extension portion 310, which provides termination points for parallel runners 312, 314 and 316 which are interconnected to bands 304, 306 and 308. Runners 312, 314 and 316 have a pitch in the order of 0.002 to 0.004 inch. This pitch is required in order to interface the Circuit to the group so electrical wires that travel along the length of the flexible elongate member to the electrical device (e.g., pressure sensor, etc.). Since the guide wire has a small cross-sectional diameter, the wires have to be small, and are therefore close together. Ideally, the pitch of the runners 312, 314 and 316 matches the pitch of the wires so that when the wires are bonded to the flex circuits there is no need to spread the wires, and the assembly fits within the profile of the flexible elongate member. The wires may be stripped of insulation and attached with conventional means such as soldering or welding. [0025] In FIG. 4 the flexible circuit board 300 is shown attached to three electrical conductors 402 in the form of a cable also known as a trifilar. Each of the bands has a corresponding electrical conductor that is attached by soldering, welding or by another well-known attachment technique. [0026] In FIG. 5 the assembly of FIG. 4 is shown folded in a substantially cylindrical fashion with ends 502, 504 of the flexible circuit board 300 being slightly overlapped in order to pass over the runners 312, 314 and 316. The overlapping maintains the bands 304, 306 and 308 in alignment. The ends of the flexible circuit board are then bonded using any one of a number of conventional adhesives in order for the electrical connector 300 to remain in its substantially cylindrical state. Once bonded, the metallization bands 304, 306 and 308 form three parallel cylindrical bands that run around the periphery of the connector 300. Alternatively, in other designs, the bands 304, 306 and 308 do not have to run around the entire periphery of connector 300. [0027] In FIG. 6, the electrical connector 300 and cable 402 are shown mounted to a core wire 602 (only a portion shown) which forms the backbone for the pressure guide wire 100. The electrical connector 300 is attached a certain distance 604 from the proximal end 606 of core wire 602. The flexible circuit 300 is filled with adhesive between core wire 602 and the inner surface of the flexible circuit board 300 in order to fix and stiffen the electrical connector 300. [0028] In FIG. 7 the partial guide wire assembly of FIG. 6 is shown with a shaft or hypotube 704 (similar to shaft 106) attached to the electrical connector 300. The electrical connector 300 can be attached to hypotube 704 using one of a number of adhesives such as a polyurethane and oligomer mixture. An optional window 702 is provided in hypotube 704, which could allow for the soldering of insulated electrical conductors 402 after the hypotube and electrical connector 300 have been mated. If optional window 702 is utilized, it is aligned with (also referred to as being in substantial registration with) extension portion 310 found in the substrate 302. Once the electrical conductors 402 are soldered on to the electrical connector 300 the window 702 is covered with insulative �fill� adhesive such as epoxy. A cross-sectional view taken along line 8-8 is shown in FIG. 8. The electrical connector 300 is attached to core wire 602 using a nonconductive adhesive such as epoxy 802. The epoxy not only serves to attach the flexible circuit board to core wire 602 it also provides a backing material which helps stiffen the flexible circuit board used in this embodiment. The area between the core wire 602 and inner surface of electrical connector 300 is preferably filled with adhesive or other filler in order to stiffen the electrical connector 300. [0029] An alternate embodiment of the electrical connector of the present invention is shown in FIG. 9. Instead of overlapping the ends of the flexible substrate 302 as shown in FIG. 5 the end portions 901 and 902 of the flexible substrate 302 are bonded substantially flush to each other using adhesive. There is no need to overlap the ends of the flexible substrate in this embodiment as compared to the one-sided embodiment shown in FIG. 5 because in this embodiment the flexible substrate 302 is a two-sided circuit board design. Conductive bands 914 are located on a first surface 910 and corresponding runners 906 are located on a second surface 912. The bands 914 and runners 906 are interconnected using pass-through vias 904. [0030] In FIG. 10 there is shown a pressure guide wire 1000 in accordance with the present invention. Instead of using several individual conductive bands 104 and insulative spacers 116, the pressure guide wire 1000 uses the electrical connector 300 of the present invention. By using the electrical connector 300 of the present invention the time to manufacture the pressure guide wire 1000 is reduced. Also, the problem with the individual bands 104 and spacers 116 becoming detached from the rest of the pressure guide wire assembly as found with the prior art guide wire 100 are eliminated. [0031] In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, a tubular member or substrate 1100 is used as the starting point in place of a flexible flat substrate 302 as shown in FIG. 3. Preferably, tubular member 1100 includes an extension portion 1102 similar to extension portion 310. In FIG. 12 cylindrical bands 1202, 1204, 1206 and runners 1208, 1210 and 1212 are added using a conventional metallization technique such as sputtering. Other well-known metallization techniques can be used to attach the metallization to the outside surface of electrical connector 1200. [0032] A non-metallized area 1214 is left along the length of the tubular member. The non-metallized area is the area in which the tubular member is cut along its entire length. Once cut, the ends of the tubular member are overlapped in order to cross over the three runners 108, 1210 and 1212. Once overlapped as shown in FIG. 13, the outside surface of flexible connector includes three substantially cylindrical metal bands 1202, 1204 and 1206. The overlapped ends are bonded together so the overlapped stated is fixed. [0033] An electrical connector cable 1302 is attached to the runners 1208, 1210 and 1212 at extension 1102. Tubular member 1100 can be formed from a number of materials, which are amenable to metallization such as a polyimide tube. Although the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 requires a flexible circuit substrate since the starting point is a flat substrate, tubular member 1100 can be formed from semi-stiff or stiffer materials if so desired since the member is already in a substantial cylindrical state prior to metallization of its outer surface. [0034] The present invention accomplishes a completely new way of forming an electrical connector on a flexible elongate member such as a cardiovascular guide wire 1000 The invention accomplishes this with a single member that forms the multiple connection requirements. The simplicity of the design also enables rapid and effective assembly techniques, and is compatible with automatic processes that can be performed by machines. The component cost is a also reduced compared to the prior art. [0035] The single substrate design can be mass produced using standard photo-lithographic techniques in the case where the flat substrate 302 is used, and standard metallization techniques such as sputtering in the case where the tubular substrate 1100 is utilized as the starting point. The present invention also eliminates a number of previously complicated assembly steps. In addition, the invention allows the electrical device (e.g. pressure sensor, flow sensor, etc.) and electrical conductor 300 to be attached and tested prior to completion of the guide wire 1000. [0036] While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, permutations and variations will become apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. For example, although in the present invention the preferred embodiment has been described as a pressure guide wire, other flexible elongate members such as those used to diagnose or treat coronary vascular areas can take advantage of the present invention.

Moffat County American Legion team drops tourney opener
Baseball team's set for 2:30 p.m. tilt today against Summit
Friday, July 23, 2010
Playing Thursday in the first round of the American Legion district tournament in Glenwood Springs, Moffat County's American Legion Post 62 team was unable to upend rival Steamboat Springs.
The baseball team fell, 7-1.
Manager Justin Folley said starter Bubba Ivers threw well in the loss, but mistakes in the field gave No. 3-seeded Steamboat all the offense they needed against the No. 6 Bulldogs.
"He only gave up three hits with three or four walks, but we made too many mistakes," Folley said.
Ivers created his own offense, hitting a home run off Steamboat's Tyler Brown, accounting for the lone Craig run of the ball game.
The Bulldogs don't have much time to regroup: they are scheduled to play at 2:30 p.m. today against Summit.
Ivan Nielsen will pitch for the Bulldogs.
"If we win, we will play the loser of (today's) Steamboat-Rangely game," Folley said. "If we lose, we go home."
Because Moffat County is the host site for next week's state American Legion tournament, the home team receives an automatic bid to the season-ending tournament.
The top two teams from the district tournament also advance to state play.

Mote scientists are asking for help in finding Waldo, a scientific robot that has been missing since Monday. The robot is an autonomous underwater vehicle, AUV, that had been patrolling the waters off Southwest Florida for five days searching for signs of red tide. The AUVs are designed to glide up, down and forward through the water and send signals to satellites each time they surface.
Mote had been receiving Waldo's reports every two hours from offshore Venice between Aug. 26 and Aug. 31.
"Then, bam, it just stopped sending a signal," said Mote scientist Gary Kirkpatrick. "There are a few possibilities that we think are likely. It could have had a major leak or malfunction and sank to the bottom and is just sitting there. Or, it could have had a malfunction with its computer or communication system and is floating on the surface but unable to tell us that it's there."
Also, an unsuspecting boater could have picked up the device, not knowing that it was a scientific instrument.
Mote is offering a $500 no-questions-asked reward for the return of Waldo. Anyone with information about Mote's missing AUV is asked to call 388-4441, Ext. 271.

The Queue: I'm up late tonight {WoW}
May 19th 2011 12:47PM Don't kid yourself, Blizzard doesn't *want* to implement the ability to display different items then you have equipped. Blizzard pays artists to design armor and weapons, and the only way to ensure they get their investments' worth out of those is to ensure that the visuals are always used.
And keep in mind that "showing off druid armor" was one of the many reasons why Tree of Life form was removed as a persistent druid form, further indicating that Blizzard prefers the artwork to be seen, not hidden.

Spiritual Guidance: The aftermath of patch 4.1 for holy and discipline priests {WoW}
May 2nd 2011 10:01AM Defensive magic dispelling is removing magic debuffs applied to members of your party/raid. Mages have Offensive dispels - removing magic buffs applied to enemy targets - and curse dispels.
Only the four healing classes have Defensive magic dispels, and the 4.1 change put priests in line with the other 3 healing classes which had to talent their cleansing spells for this effect.
The Queue: Peter Petrelli, you are the bomb {WoW}
Apr 30th 2011 12:48PM New encounters have a habit of doing this; the combination of players learning the mechanics of a fight and, in some cases, not geared enough for the fight puts further strain on the healer to keep everyone alive.
Once players start getting accustomed to the fight mechanics and know how to avoid taking damage that would kill them (usually a bad healer will help teach this!), the healing requirements will diminish.
The OverAchiever: Mountain o' Mounts in Northrend {WoW}
Apr 7th 2011 5:16PM @Telwar
I don't believe they removed the ability to get the blue drake via Oculus. However, after a character reaches level 81 they can no longer queue for Northrend dungeons, and thus can no longer get Heroic Oculus as a Northrend Heroic Random. So they restored the original means of getting this mount (10-man Maly) so those that did not get the mount could still acquire it, but I did not hear about them disabling the ability from random heroic Oculus for those that can still run Northrend heroics.
Scattered Shots: Musings on hunter haste design {WoW}
Mar 31st 2011 10:29AM I don't necessarily worry about haste softcaps to achieve extra shots - especially as Marksman, it's usually 2 Steady Shots to maintain the haste buff, followed by a number of Chimera and Arcane shots (or Aimed Shot! procs), and then back to 2 Steady Shots.
However, there is a secondary benefit to more haste besides the increase in dps. Almost all encounters require at least sporadic movement - not usually enough to warrant the dps drop from being in Aspect of the Fox the entire fight, but enough that, while pewing on the boss, you find yourself suddenly having to move out of the fire. Haste improves the likelihood of a cast-time shot going off in between required movement.
The Queue: Evacuate the dance floor {WoW}
Mar 25th 2011 12:33PM As a priest, I have more healing buttons that I need to manage then I have viable keyboard+mouse combinations to program into Grid+Clique - counting Dispel Magic and Cure Disease, I've 22 buttons to manage between Clique, mouse-based keybinds, and clicked cooldowns for healing and mana management.
So I use Decursive for cleansing magic and diseases - two separate buttons for priests, while Druids, Paladins, and Shamans all have one cleanse button. I have the microframes placed right above Grid, where it's a quick mouse movement to place over them and allows me to left (magic) or right click (disease) the microframe to dispel/cleanse. I've no idea how I'd manage to handle cleansing without Decursive.

Tom Edwards on Wallyware, the unofficial O.J. trial pottery, and a year of free ice cream
Ever since I could speak, I've always been proud to tell people about my dad's job. He makes pottery for a living, running a business out of a converted garage studio connected to my parents' Evergreen home. From here he throws, decorates, fires in a kiln, and ships out his handmade plates, bowls and mugs to art galleries around the country. Though he started out creating fine art pottery with colorful glazes, my dad really built his business around Wallyware, pottery decorated with one-panel comic strips that range from political humor to pop culture references, many centered on a fictional dog named Wally. Me with my dad and sister in 1991, painting pottery-shipping boxes.
In honor of Father's Day and the guy who taught me that you really can make a living doing what you love (in addition to teaching me how to walk), I interviewed my dad, Tom Edwards, about his pottery business, how he came to be the official potter for the O.J. Simpson trial, and the time his art won our family a year's supply of ice cream.
See also: Artist and writer: An interview with my brother, painter Evan Kutz
Westword: How did you first get interested in pottery?
Tom Edwards: I was in high school and the counselor who helps you pick your classes kept going through all the electives and I didn't like any of them. Auto shop? No. Painting? No. And so basically they got to pottery and I decided to try it. I really liked it a lot because I'm artistic but I'm not very good at drawing, so I really just fell in love with it the first week of school and I've been doing it ever since.
Did you ever have any career aspirations other than being an artist?
You know, I think the short answer to that is no. I remember thinking, "What am I gonna do after I graduate from college?" And it was always kind of these things that didn't seem like me. In all honesty, I started making pots for a living right after college simply because I didn't really know what else I wanted to do and that was the one thing that I really loved doing. Maybe when I was a little kid I thought I was gonna be an astronaut, but nothing realistic. In high school and college I thought maybe I could go into science or engineering because I got good grades in those classes, but I really didn't love them. The only thing I ever really loved as far as a career was pottery. And since I started making it for a living, I haven't thought about leaving it. I really like it that much.
You studied art history in college rather than studio art. How do you think that informs your work?
I started out as a ceramics major, and when you're a freshman in college you're not usually the smartest person in the world, and I sort of thought that I couldn't get a degree in pottery because that's like playing all day, so I'll get a real degree in art history. But then my senior year I looked at these professors who were really dedicated to what they do and I don't have that. I'm not the kind of guy who's going to get a Ph.D. in art history. So then I went back and thought it would be so amazing to make pottery for a living, so my senior year I went back and took upper-division classes in ceramics. I think the real value in not getting a degree in pottery was that all those ceramics majors that I was talking to, asking if they were going to go out and start their own businesses, and they were all intimidated by that idea.
I think if you spend four years studying ceramics, you look around and look at all this great art and think you're not good enough. It's kind of like a Wayne's World "I'm not worthy." It basically beats up your self-esteem about your work, and after four years of studying something that you're not as good at as the great people, you go off and do something else. But I was fortunate enough to have not gone that route and I was still really excited about making a living in pottery even though my pots weren't that great when I was in college. But you really can just go out and do it. And it's a really satisfying life. I'm really fortunate to be creative and make a living at it. It's really something.
Your earlier work didn't include any words or imagery, but most of what you make now features one-panel comic strips featuring a character named Wally the dog that you draw on the pottery. What made you transition into drawing on the pots?
Most pottery doesn't have imagery on it; it has pretty glazes. So in 1970, that was what most people did. I think a lot of potters, when you take classes in art school, you look at Japanese pottery and you just love the temokus, celadons and copper reds. So that was the kind of work that I was doing after college. But the imagery thing came about one day as a joke. I worked in a pottery studio called Santa Barbara Ceramic Design, where the other artists there decorated these beautiful floral designs on pottery. One day as a joke I drew the Wally cartoon, kind of just as a dumb version of what they were doing. But then when I took the pots that I drew as a joke to the craft fair, they actually sold really well. People were looking at them and I was getting a lot of laughs, and then I got an order for a full dinnerware set of Wallyware from a couple. It was a $1,000 order, and it was bigger than any order I'd ever had. It blew me away, because I had never taken that big of an order from one customer, so that pretty much got me into doing it.
Plus, there's a real magic to drawing cartoons. I got back into a second childhood kind of thing drawing these images, and it was really fun even though I admit my style of drawing isn't nearly as good as a really good cartoonist. It was a lot of fun to do these clumsy, stupid drawings with funny jokes and that sort of took off on its own, not unlike when I started making pottery. I fell in love with goofy cartoons. And now whenever I make a pot, almost everything I make has images on it and I like that aspect of my work. They're not just pots, they have stories and ideas.
Keep reading for more from Tom Edwards.

TCG in-game rewards revealed (finally!)
- Special "Loot" versions of cards will have scratch offs that reveal codes to be redeemed in-game.
- The "Loot" version of someone named Landro Longshot (the lore of this escapes me, if you know it, speak up) will grant a unique in-game tabard.
- A card that shows a Thundering Hippogryph will grant a new non combat pet-- awesome!
- And then there's the one you really want: the loot version of "Saltwater Snapjaw" will grant players their very own big-eyed turtle mount. That's right, the rumors were true. If you find this card, you can ride around on the back of a freaking turtle (Upper Deck is quick to point out that it goes regular speed, even though it's a turtle). Also, the mount is usable by players of all levels, which means you can finally ride out to Hogger. Because of that, I'd assume it's a 60% mount, not 100%, but they don't say specifically.
- Every card pack will have a card that gives "UDE Points," which you can use to redeem for other cards or in-game items in an online system. Two trinkets are first up in this system: a trinket that puts on a fireworks display, and another that changes you into an ogre mage.
- Finally, apparently there will be three loot rewards with every series of cards that Upper Deck releases-- the first series, Heroes of Azeroth, is due this month, and the second one, called Onyxia's Lair, is scheduled for November.

We had a great experience and plan on coming back to Uncle Bob's next time we have storage needs. Everything was always well maintained, there were sufficient carts whenever we needed to move things in and out, and our storage area was great. Thank You!
Laura from Walla Walla, WAIt is true that the South Miami facility is state of the art, but as I am sure you know, it's the people that truly make it special. Mario and his staff are not just good, they are exceptional. They are friendly, knowledgable, patient, and quite handy. I rarely single out a staff, but in this case they are worthy of many praises.
Daniel from Miami, FLThis particular facility on SW 28 Lane in Miami, FL could be used as the model for all other facilities, that's how professional and friendly the staff is, how clean the property is, it has excellent security systems, etc.
Carolyn from Miami, FLBoth manager and assistant manager were extremely helpful and so friendly. The facility is so clean and the white walls are immaculate. I moved my furniture yesterday and it couldn't have been easier. As a matter of fact, my movers even recommended this particular Uncle Bob's. Also, I called customer service yesterday to let them know how pleased I was!
Karen from Coral Gables, FLUncle Bob's was recommended by a close friend who stated "Their staff is very friendly and eager to help", and my experience validated each word! Madelyn and Mario were extremely professional from my first contact; they listened to my needs and guided me throughout the process. The premises are kept immaculate and safety is paramount to them! Thank you for a great experience.
Ana from South Miami, FLI appreciate the email payment reminders and the courtesy conveyed in those emails. I believe that you value my business.
Bill from Fort Lauderdale, FLI love the space I have and how clean and secure my things are. I don't have to worry about anything being stolen or damaged. Uncle bob's storage is great along with the friendly staff. Thank you!

"Didn't work"
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
No pros at all
"Out of memory" with 8GB RAM and tons of disk space.
"Ugly very ugly"
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
no pro to this software
chinese character
FlashCrest has created an ISO file with the file names written in Chinese characters.
"recreating folder tree"
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
simple interface
you will need to recreate the folder tree in the software. you will need to create a folder and type (or copy-paster) its name for EVERY single folder. just imagine if you have sub-directories, you can easily get dozens if not over a hundred directories.
only good if you have a very few folder to end up with in your ISO ...unless you like clicking icons and typing a lot.
"Decent product for what it's tagline reads."
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
Created the ISO with little trouble once I figured out how to get the files from the CD over.
The interface needs some work. You have to drag from an instance of Explorer in order to build the ISO image.
For a free product, it does exactly what it says. Worth the download in my opinion.
"Does the job!"
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
Simple, drag & drop interface.
It is a bit slow in ISO creation compared to other tools. However, it is truly "FREE" and it works, so I don't know that it is really a con.
Excellent tool for ISO creation. As I only create ISO's every few months, this tool fits the bill well. Thanks FlashCrest!!!
"Works isos perfectly."
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
Works 100%.
GUI is not good enough.
"It is FREE, STABLE and does what is says it will do."
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
Produces ISOs perfectly.
Interface is a bit confusing
If it wan't for people like this we would all be paying through the nose for small but critical utilities like this. Thanks FlashCrest!
"Not good with Windows 7"
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
Won't install on my machine so can't comment, but other people seemed to have got it to work (on XP?).
Windows 7 not supported
No uninstall option for product
Issues using forums on FlashCrest website for supportSummary
I have Windows 7 Ultimate, x86 32 bit installs OK but when I run it up I'm informed that I don't
have comdlg32.ocx installed and so it doesn't run, tried to use the FlashCrest forums but can't post (it just times out). Also tried to uninstall it but the application is not listed in Control Panel so there is no easy uninstall at a later date. -
"Does the job and does it well."
Version: FlashCrest ISO Maker 1.0
Nice GUI, fast conversion, drag+drop support
Doesn't burn ISO's
This little program is amazing, and best of all it's free. Some developers are asking for $60 for the exact same software.

MIAMI 2014: MarineMax Vacations debuts new power cats
Posted on Written by Richard ArmstrongMIAMI — MarineMax continues to grow its charter division with the introduction of two new power catamarans at the Yacht & Brokerage Show in Miami Beach.
MarineMax Vacations is being built on a new power catamaran design built by Chinese manufacturer Sino Eagle Group. To maximize revenue potential, the power cats are being built specifically for charter under the MarineMax moniker and for private ownership under the Aquila brand.
"Two years ago here in Miami we introduced sketches of the 48," MarineMax Vacations president Lex Raas told a press gathering on Friday. "Last year, the MarineMax 484 made its debut here and now we're really pleased to show the Aquila 48 in its private version and the new MarineMax 443."
The charter industry, once dominated by monohull sailboats, continues to evolve, he said.
"Thirty-seven percent of the Caribbean charter fleet are now catamarans," Raas said. Power cats are a small but growing portion of the Caribbean catamaran fleet, he said.
The new 44-foot boat was 16 months in development. MarineMax Vacations marketing director Jody Krebs said the new MarineMax 443 on display, built for charter, was purchased by a private customer the day before the boat show opened, so the new model will not debut for charter until hull No. 2 is built.
MarineMax Vacations vice president of sales and marketing Raul Bermudez said the company's charter fleet now consists of 21 power cats, along with monohull Dufour sailboats.
"We have committed to 20 of the MarineMax 48s (10 are now in the fleet) and a minimum of 10 of the 443s," he said.
On the private-version side, Raas said the appeal of the stable platform and roomy design makes "Aquila a brand that is going to go places."

What are the odds an off-hand suggestion 8,000 miles away, eight years ago would lead us to here – the Manulife LPGA Financial LPGA Classic, where two Chinese flags waved proudly amongst the second-round leaderboard as play concluded?
Take a second to think about the chances. Upwards of 3.5 billion women walking the earth. Of those, 79 teed it up on the weekend at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic.
Now take a second to consider the two that sat in the top five – 25-year-old Shanshan Feng and 18-year-old Xi Yu (Janet) Lin. Both from the world's largest country – China with a population around 1.4 billion and owners of around 20 percent of the global population. Both the only two Chinese players in the top 150 of the Rolex Rankings. Both from the third largest city in China – the port city of Guangzhou with a population of 14 million.
That's not the crazy part, though. Not even close. The crazy part is how they got to this point.
Eight years ago, Feng's father watched proudly as his daughter rose to the top of the Chinese amateur circuit as a 17-year-old. But back at his job at China's Institute of Sport, he noticed his coworker's 10-year-old daughter was athletic, too, and couldn't help but wonder why she wasn't playing golf. Her mother, Du Jing, was the country's first member of their women's national soccer team, so he knew she had the athletic genes necessary and curiosity got the best of him.
"I was like, you know, national junior champion and then my dad was asking her mom, why doesn't your daughter try golf? Seems like my daughter is successful now and maybe if your daughter tries, she can be good too," Feng said.
That young girl? Xi Yu Lin, the 18-year-old LPGA rookie.
"I guess they made the right decision," said Feng with a laugh.
Lin was initially hesitant but her parents pushed to give it a shot and drop it if she didn't like it. She acquiesced and Feng's father took her with them after school. There was a month acclimation period before she was granted full membership to the Ghangzhou Junior Golf Team so she had to practice her swing, hitting air, while the rest of the kids hit balls on the range.
"But after that, when I started hitting balls, it was so interesting," Lin said.
Before golf, she swam, played tennis, badminton, basketball, soccer, table tennis and ran track. After that first drive shot seemingly into the clouds and that first putt took the final trickle over the ledge below ground, there was only golf. She was a natural and her ascension in the game was rapid.
Feng would end up moving to the United States for a full golf scholarship at the International Golf Academy a couple months after Lin first got hooked. While Feng's career blew up in the states, Lin was accomplishing things even Feng hadn't at that age. She qualified for the 2011 U.S. Women's Open as a 15-year-old and won two CLPGA events after turning professional at the age of 15. Two years later she qualified for the Ladies European Tour, waiting until she hit the LPGA's minimum age of 18 to attempt to qualify for the LPGA. When she finally did last fall, buoyed by the confidence that came from a 17th place finish at the 2013 Ricoh Women's British Open, the first time was a charm, earning full status on the LPGA Tour for the 2014 season.
"This year I've been doing many things I never thought I could do that fast. Before I was hoping I could get into LPGA before I'm 20," Lin said. "I'm growing up pretty fast. It's faster than I think so it's good. I have more opportunities now."
Opportunities like Saturday, walking up to the first tee on the tour she's always dreamed of playing on three shots and two groups back of her idol – Feng. She ultimately didn't cash in, falling from solo fifth to 39th over the course of the weekend, but the moment wasn't lost on Feng or Lin.
"That's not normal. Used to be just myself," Feng said. "I watched her when she started playing golf, and I'm really happy for her. This year I'm really happy that finally we have a second Chinese girl on the tour because then I'm not that lonely."
Who would have thought that would be filled with the former driving range tag along who lived down the road. Lin's emergence highlights a sense of responsibility and hope that Feng feels as the de facto figurehead of Chinese women's golf. Golf isn't huge in numbers in China yet, but it's growing at a rapid rate and the hope is there for Feng. Hope for China's future place in the game and hope that China's Olympic dreams in golf might have a second contender and that one day Chinese golf could be spoken about with the same esteem as their regional counterpart South Korea. China, for example, didn't have enough players to qualify for the eight-team International Crown, but two Chinese players just left college after just one season to attempt to qualify for the LPGA and there's a host of other juniors coming through the ranks as the game's participation and number of courses continues to expand dramatically.
"I really want to play representing my own country, and then if I don't get the chance to play it's still okay because that means the younger players are doing really well so I'll feel happy for them, too," Feng said.
However, when it comes to Feng's protégé, the two have become very good friends over the years and Feng's frequently taking her to dinner on the road or giving advice about life on tour. Lin's always picking her brain, hoping to smooth the acclimation process and learn anything she can to apply to her own game. Surprisingly, Feng's most prominent advice is perhaps the opposite of what one might think.
"I told her not to practice too much because from what I've seen, a lot of the rookie girls, they just work so hard like from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and then they're like so tired into the weekend so they don't make cuts," Feng said. "So that's what I told her, you need to practice like properly and then just go out and make a lot of friends, feel like this is home for you."
Over the course of the season, it's becoming more and more like home to Lin, who goes by Janet in the United States. The Chinese national team had coaches from Scotland and New Zealand that spoke fluent Chinese that helped her with her English in anticipation of a move like this, and she has a traveling road manager to accompany her on tour. But you can't replace the feeling of family and that's been the hardest adjustment.
"So far the traveling is the hardest part. America is really far from my home. Far from my parents. They stay in China and only came in Texas," Lin said. "I miss them a lot."
It's the sight of Feng, though, that makes her feel somewhat back at home again, and she's just waiting for the day when she'll be paired up at an LPGA event with her idol like she was in two rounds at the LET's Mission Hills World Championship in her native China.
"It would be great, we can talk in Chinese," said Lin with a laugh.

Lorenzi Reaches First Final In Sao Paulo
Sao Paulo, Brazil
by ATP Staff
World No. 114 Paolo Lorenzi reached his first ATP World Tour final on Saturday at the Brasil Open 2014 in Sao Paulo. The Italian was leading Tommy Haas 6-3, 3-2, when the German was forced to retire with a right shoulder injury.
"First of all I would like to say that I'm sad for Tommy. I hope he didn't hurt anything important and that he can play Indian Wells," said Lorenzi. "Second, I'm very happy because at 32 years old I'm playing my first final, and it's in Brazil, which is one of my favourite countries. I'm very happy to be able to play here tomorrow."
"I was playing pretty good tennis here and maybe had the chance to get to another final," Haas said. "It's always disappointing when you know that you have an injury, you cannot play the way you want. It's unfortunate. I hate retiring in matches."
Lorenzi had ousted fourth seed Juan Monaco to reach his first ATP World Tour semi-final. He is coming off a career-best 2013 season, which saw him record double-digit wins (13) for the first time in his career and break the Top 50 for the first time (March 4 at No. 49).
The 32 year old will face Federico Delbonis in the final.
Delbonis defeated home favourite and 2009 runner-up Thomaz Bellucci 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-4 in Saturday's second semi-final. The Argentine, who upset three-time titlist Nicolas Almagro (2008, 2011-12) in the second round, will be contesting his second ATP World Tour final in seven months after finishing runner-up in Hamburg (l. to Fognini) last July.
Delbonis fired eight aces and won 69 per cent of points on his second serve to prevail in two hours and nine minutes. He saved both break points faced, converting on three of seven of his own.
"In the third set I relaxed and played better," said Delbonis. "I took my chances and had the advantage after getting the break. I knew I needed to do more (after the second set). I had to calm myself and focus on what I was doing right in the first set."
Sunday's final will be the first FedEx ATP Head2Head tour-level meeting between Delbonis and Lorenzi. The Italian won all three encounters on the ATP Challenger Tour, in 2010 and 2011.

Cabal/Farah Reach Second Straight Final
The Colombian duo of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah won their seventh straight match on Saturday, advancing to a third final in four weeks during the Golden Swing. Cabal and Farah defeated Facundo Bagnis and Federico Delbonis in the Sao Paulo semi-finals, 6-4, 6-4, and will vie for their second consecutive title when they face the Spanish/Austrian tandem of Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Philipp Oswald. The Colombians triumphed last week in Rio de Janeiro.

The Stanford team found that the rate of serious gastrointestinal events -- bleeding ulcers leading to hospitalization or death -- declined steadily from 1999 to 2003 as sales of cox-2 painkillers surged.
In 2004, the last year in which all three cox-2 drugs were still on the market, the incidence of serious ulcerations hit an all-time low of 357 cases per 100,000 NSAID prescriptions filled.
But a year later -- after the Vioxx/Bextra withdrawals and attendant controversy -- those levels had already climbed to 434/100,000, a 21 percent increase, the study found.
Experts said they aren't shocked by the findings.
"With decreasing use of gastroprotective therapies, it comes as no surprise to see a substantial increase in NSAID-related GI adverse events," said Dr. Mark Fendrick, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan School of Medicine. He has followed the cox-2 saga closely, co-authoring a commentary on the drugs' risks and benefits for The Lancet earlier this year.
According to Fendrick, it's unclear whether the cardiovascular health gains achieved by removing Vioxx and Bextra from the market have now been outweighed by a surge in serious gastrointestinal events.
"What's always bothered me as a general internist is that every study that you ever read on this either looks at the GI side or the cardiovascular side -- never both," he said. A study that compared both aspects in the same population might provide real guidance, he said.
"Then I might be able to say 'Oh, if we saved 1,000 lives from heart disease by increasing GI adverse events by X percent, then maybe we are doing the right thing,'" Fendrick said. So far, no such study has been done, he added.
Fendrick believes patients still have relatively safe treatment options, howeve
