Last week, I started writing a column about app synergy, the process of multiple apps coming together for a common purpose. Based on some of the responses I've received, I've learned that app synergy is so much more than a mechanical way of fulfilling a task. It's personal. It's a way that people can find their passions and fulfill their desires. In that spirit, I wanted to apply app synergy to something that's personal to me, collecting comic books.
Back in high school, I collected comic books. My comic collecting habit had reached four figures before my mother put a firm end to it. One of the first issues I ever bought was Fantastic Four No. 374. It was billed as the Fantastic Four versus the New Fantastic Four. The "new" team featured Marvel heavyweights, such as Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Hulk, and Wolverine. Sorcerer Supreme Stephen Strange served as astral mascot.
Without giving away the plot, the two teams fought, one team mysteriously vanished, and Wolverine tore off someone's face. More importantly, 374 paved the way to anniversary issue No. 375, which is still one of my all-time favorites. Fond memories are stored within those pages.
I had not revisited those memories in years. I still have the books. They're in a box, in a corner, collecting dust. Like many iPad owners who are also comic geeks, I have seen the light of the iPad's beautiful screen. Comics are a natural fit. My only complaint about reading them on the iPad was that I didn't have a long run of issues to make it worth my while.
ComiXology is an excellent comic buying platform, but it also charges three to four bucks a pop for popular titles. When I finally kicked my adolescent habit, I likely had more than a thousand individual issues. Do the math. I'm not paying thousands of dollars to rebuild my collection. I have Apple products to buy, and more importantly, a mortgage to pay.
A comic file reader, such as Comic Zeal or ComicGlass provides an excellent alternative to the proprietary ecosystem of ComiXology and the publisher-specific apps it powers (such as Marvel and DC). However, there are some obstacles to overcome. The first is, "where am I going to find a large quantity of comic files, all for a reasonable price?" We'll assume that we want to find these files legally.
The other big issue is device space. Even if I could get my hands on that many digital comic books, I have no desire to take up that much storage space on my iPad. I'm also too lazy to load in a few issues at a time. I wanted a massive comic library on my iPad, which was not stored on my iPad, and which I could access at any time. There may be variations to this, but here's how I did it:
Step 1 – Shop Til You Drop
Marvel Comics used to have an agreement with Git Corp to reprint decades of its greatest comics in PDF form. We're talking about 40+ years of issues for only $20-50 a title. Unfortunately, Marvel terminated the license back in 2007 and many of the old DVD collections are now drastically more expensive than they once were.
After some digging around on the Amazon app, I was fortunate enough to find 44 years of Fantastic Four for only $23.75. The DVD contains over 550 issues. That's about four cents an issue, compared to the dollars they cost now. I kick myself for not buying up the other collections for 25 dollars each a few years ago, when I had the chance. But if you shop around and are willing to settle for disks with only 10-20 years worth of issues on them, you can still find good deals on some large comic collections.
Step 2 – Send Your Comics To The Cloud
Comic readers, like Comic Zeal, should soon be adding iCloud integration. However, I have more important files stored in iCloud, and I already pay Apple enough for extra storage space. What I envisioned was a dedicated cloud service becoming my digital comic storehouse. The natural candidates for the role were Dropbox and Box.net.
Before this project, I exclusively used Dropbox. I once signed up for a Box promotion, where they gave me 50 GB of storage space. I had completely forgotten about it, until now.
I used my MacBook to load the files from the DVD to Box on the Web. I opened the Box app on my iPad, and voila, hundreds of issues instantly at my disposal. I then added files from other disks I bought at reasonable prices, pushing that quantity into the four digit range. Upon testing, I noticed that 1,000 issues takes up roughly 10 GB. That means that when all is said and done, I should be able to store about 5,000 issues in my Box.net account. Congratulations Box, you are now my comic storage box.
Step 3 – Pick A Comic Reader
Of course, the files in Box aren't optimized for reading. That's what the comic file readers are for. Fortunately, the Box app makes it easy to send your files to your favorite reader, all with a couple of quick taps.
Comic Zeal and ComicGlass, as mentioned above, are my two favorite comic file readers. They each have unique features that I appreciate. I list them both here as a point of reference; choose your own preference. Since the disks I bought contained PDF files, I've also listed GoodReader, which is my favorite PDF reading app.
Comics are optimized for Comic Zeal and ComicGlass in ways they aren't for GoodReader. You have to enlarge the image manually to get a full-screen view in GoodReader. However, I found an important advantage to GoodReader. The Git Corp comics came with a Marvel watermark on every page, which GoodReader mysteriously strips, so that you can view pages in their original form. Some people may not mind the watermark and will skew towards the more powerful comic reading features of Comic Zeal or ComicGlass. Others will be severely bothered by them and will do their own manual resizing to be rid of them.
With Amazon, Box, and a comic file reader app, I was able to transform my iPad into a large comic library, which takes up minimal closet and iPad storage space. I haven't had time to load in all my files yet, but it's safe to say that my new digital collection is way bigger than my old paper collection. It's also a small fraction of the original cost. More importantly, I can now recapture old Fantastic Four memories whenever and wherever I want. That's app synergy at work.
Incidentally, app synergy also played a part in creating the photos used to demonstrate it. I first took screenshots of my iPad by pressing the power and home buttons at the same time. Next, I created an album in my Photos app to store the pictures I would use for this article. Finally, I used apps like ComicBook! and Halftone to lay out the photos in the comic-styled manner you see before you now.
If you have any of your own App Synergy uses, please email them to me at [email protected] or contact me @lsliang2001. We'd love to highlight them.

"According to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him." (vs11-12)
First, we have boldness and access to God by faith in Jesus the Lord. It is not heaven by merit or feeling, and we don't approach Him by right. We come through what Christ did for us, the Mediator, who took away our sins, and we believe upon Him to have earned the access that we receive. Faith isn't feeling worthy or spiritual, and it isn't adding anything to Christ; it is coming to God and acknowledging that we're accepted by the greatness of His Son's work, and it is entering His presence by faith alone, believing that He hears and rewards us. Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him". Grace is what we need, God has it, and Christ is how we get to God. Will you come to Him this way? If so, then you have the petitions that you desire (1 John 5:14-15).
We have boldness because God CANNOT reject faith. He has commanded the way, and if we follow it, then we can't be refused for any reason. He says, "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive them" (Matt 21:22). He doesn't say, "Come by faith, but you can't have former sins", nor does He say, "Believe', but you must be worthy also". No, by faith alone, He willingly gives all that He has because you honor the Son and the Father by trusting Him, by saying that He's holy and only touched by faith, and yet by faith, He is TOUCHED indeed. In Mark 10:51, the Lord asked, "What do you want Me to do for you?" Come to Him by faith and receive what you need.
Secondly, the way to be filled with God's fullness and do good works is by receiving His love in the gospel (Eph 3:13-19). He says, "that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God". Paul has one primary thing in mind, which is that we honor Him who died for us, and the gospel is the ONLY power God has to make this happen. We read elsewhere, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek" (Rom 1:16). Thus, any sermon that doesn't have the gospel, that doesn't point the sinner to Christ's grace, is a false gospel and a sermon that can't save. It lacks God's power, which is the revelation of His love.
Do not think that rules will get you power, or that legal but bloodless sermons will edify you. Your sins must be exposed, but the gospel is more than exposing our faults; it always promises God's help to everyone who believes, " for the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (1 Cor 1:17). The gospel must be preached, or no one gets power to serve Christ. People can be religious and zealous, but if they're not moved by forgiveness, then it is in vain. The law exposes us, and then the gospel heals us. The law shows where we are wrong, and then God's love convinces us that He'll make us right. Don't neglect the gospel but receive it continually all throughout the day. Always look to Christ when you see yourself in sin or estranged. Look to Him when trouble takes away your peace, and receive His love as unbounded, eternal, and saving. Receive Him as He gives Himself to you freely, and THEN you'll honor Him. Our Lord told the disciples to loose the colt, before bringing it to Him. It has to be set free, so that it could be bound to the Lord. He said, "Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing it?' thus you shall say to him, 'Because the Lord has need of it" (Luke 19:30-31).
Grace will have the first place in the ministry, or God will not work, and you can judge EVERY church by the gospel it preaches. If God's love is revealed, then people will have power to worship Him.
Finally, glory belongs to God in the church through Christ (Eph 3:20-21). He says, "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be GLORY in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." We haven't been saved for our glory, or so that we can do as we please, but He DEMANDS that we glorify Him. I have learned this, that whatever I learn, it must lead me to honor the Son of God with my life. Therefore, He reveals the gospel to us and calls upon us to continually examine the love of Christ, so that we can be filled, love, serve, honor, and obey our Master. He won't give His glory to another, but He will give you grace to glorify Him, and this is what we seek and do while on earth. I ask you again. What do you want from God? It is salvation? Is it the power to honor His name? This is why He gives grace, and this is what grace will do. He makes you live for His Name, His church, and we have access to God with boldness to get this God-honoring character that we need!

DUBUQUE, Iowa As the school year wraps up at Dubuque Senior High School, Fiona Li will leave behind all of the friends she's made here and return to home to China.
Li said, Everywhere I go I bring my I-pod with me. I take lots of pictures.
The I-pod has captured almost 4000 precious moments of Li's time in the United States.
I have pictures about Chicago and snow coming. And homecoming dresses, said Li.
But on April 14th the iPpod disappeared. Li thinks someone stole it after she left it in the bathroom at school.
She immediately went to Facebook for help.
I said I lost an iPod. It's red on the back and white in the front. If anyone sees it please contact me.
A pawnshop manager saw the message and discovered someone had sold her the stolen I-pod. She contacted Li's host family.
Li's host father Jim Poll said, I think there are kind nice people in the world, we just don't hear those stories very often.
The iPod, and pictures are now right where they belong, in Li's hands, after getting it back.
I was like this is impossible because even right now, I cannot believe that's my I-pod, said Li.
A moment in time she'll always remember; the kindness of strangers in Iowa.
Li said, I just feel like really nice people are here.

Colorado Pompeii - Temp and door questions
Colorado Pompeii-Thermometer/door help!!
hello from Colorado!- 42" pompeii coming along well but I coul really use some help with a couple questions from you experts out there!
1. I am looking at the remote thermometer from FB. The pompeii instructions say that I should mount the probe into my cooking floor while the FB lady said that it shoud go into the dome about 6" from the floor. Any thoughts? Is this thermometer worth it? Do I go with 4 thermocouples to a digital reader like one in the floor, others in the dome, etc
2. I am looking at having a door made for my oven in the style of the old FB door (no longer avail) that was offerred as an option for the pompeii. I am thinking of having mine made 22" x 13.5" x 1/4"to account for a 1" door stop. I heard some folks making door with slotted vents. Any thoughts here? is 1/4" thick enough??

Premier League clips win will prompt The Sun to go behind paywall
If there was ever a question whether The Sun website would go behind a paywall, like sister title The Times, then News Internationals' scooping of the Premier League football mobile and internet highlights has surely put this to bed.
Quite simply this is a now a no-brainer for New International: it will happen.
The publisher has reached a three-year deal with the Premier League to show highlight clips on the internet and mobile devices of its newspaper brands from August, including The Sun.
The deal is reported by worth more than £20m, according to sources.
News International is replacing Yahoo! and ESPN, which previously held the internet and mobile rights.
Now that NI has this collateral of the Premier League rights, it will have no hesitation in slinging up the paywall.
Previously, the argument against erecting The Sun paywall was always that it would lose a lot of revenue from advertising, simply because not many people would pay for the privilege of reading The Sun online thus advertisters wouldn't support it.
Unlike The Times-whose long-form content lends itself to a paid-for online model- The Sun is a tabloid, ten-minute read at best, much of whose content can be seen elsewhere on gossipy websites and such.
Now this has all changed and punters have the carott of near-live clips of Premier League football matches as a reason to fork out for a yearly subscription for The Sun.
Crucially, these highlights will be available to punters before Match of the Day, for many people their first chance to see the day's action.
News International has already said it will embed the content into the Times and Sunday Times websites, along with the Sun's planned tablet app.
Surely, it makes sense now to carry out the same strategy for the paid-for Sun website, particularly as their is a furious drive at News International to drive up revenues at the profit-making Sun and loss-making Times this year.
Journalists on The Sun will no doubt be annoyed their words will no longer be free for all to see on the web, but that is just a reality of today.

In this tutorial we will explain how to send videos (how to cast videos) from Google Chrome on your PC/laptop to your Chromecast, which obviously shouldd be connected to your TV.
- We assume you already made the initial set up of Google Chromecast, if you didn't do it now!
- If you want to cast a whole tab, select the Chromecast icon in the upper right corner of your Chrome browser (from your computer) and select your device beneath where it says "Cast this tab to…" If you want to stop casting a tab, simply go to this menu again, and select "Stop casting."
We would have love to write some more text to explain how to send a video from the Google Chrome browser installed on your computer to your Google Chromecast device, but that's not necesssary. The usage of the device it's really simple and we thanks google for that.
As you probably noticed on point two of this tutorial we wrote "If you want to cast a whole tab". It wasn't a typo. It is possible to cast the content of a whole google tab so you could watch any video site, facebook or your favorite video site on your TV.
However I think it's important to inform thar in case you do so, the performance it's not as good as it is when you cast content from your phone to your Chromecast.
The reason for that is that in this case the content won't be downloaded from internet to your Chromecast, but sent via streaming from your computer to your chromecast

'Dancing With the Stars': Maria Menounos, Derek Hough set the ballroom on fireAdd to Favorites | Dancing With the Stars
For the Most Important Year theme week, "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Maria Menounos chose 1988 because that was the year she realized her parents were working so hard to keep a roof over their heads by being janitors in nightclubs all over Boston. Maria would find a spare quarter on teh floor and use it in the jukebox to play "Material Girl," which was her song choice for the rumba.
The rumba is traditionally a slower dance and Maria and partner Derek Hough played that to the hilt, with a slowed-down, extremely sexy version of "Material Girl." The audience and the judges were raving.
"You are such a beautiful, exquisite dancer. The maturity and the sensuality and the languid movement, nothing ever stopped the whole way," says Carrie Ann. Len adds, "It was a mix of the balroom with a little touch of the bedroom ... your technique was really good. Overall, fabulous dance."
The judges also gave her three 9s, for a total of 27. Will she be getting your vote, "DWTS" fans?

fourOsix...Not Just Montana's Area Code
Alex Rincon, Jr., known by his friends as "Papu," always knew he would start his own business someday. It wasn't until after graduating from Carroll College in 2004, and managing multiple retail businesses, that his business idea began to take shape.
While attending Carroll, Rincon obtained a triple major, including a B.A. in Business Administration with a special interest in Marketing, Management and International Business; a B.A. in Spanish Language and Literature; and a Multi-Disciplinary major in Visual Arts with an interest in Graphic Design. In his spare time he enjoyed all that Montana had to offer, including snowboarding, hiking, fly fishing and much more. It was this love for Montana's outdoors and lifestyle, along with his diverse scholastic background, that brought fourOsix to light.
In 2007, Rincon opened fourOsix in downtown Helena, a lifestyle and retail store that promotes art, music, style, forward thinking and Montana living. The name "four0six" represents Montana, as (406) is the area code for the entire state.
In the beginning, Rincon assembled a team of professionals, including advisors from SBA's local SCORE Chapter to help get his business idea off the ground. With his stubborn "not going to give up attitude" and ample planning, Rincon fashioned a sound business plan and secured the needed funding to launch his business venture.
"Some people see problems- I see solutions for those problems," says Rincon, referring to the challenges of starting a business. "It took some people time to see and understand my vision for a retail store that is also a lifestyle store and a socially aware business."
Rincon's business model has always been to build a successful brand while simultaneously making a positive impact to its local community and economy.
Rincon jokes about not running his business as the ideal for-profit business, but rather tends to run it as a non-profit venture. He invests most of its profit back into the community, contributing time and resources to local schools, and by organizing and funding art, music and recreation events around Montana.
While maintaining its stance on supporting the community, fourOsix has indeed made a name for itself. While stopped at a stoplight in Montana it's not uncommon to find the fourOsix logo on nearly every other vehicle. Due to the success of its own brand, fourOsix recently began doing their own on-site screen printing, which allows customers the opportunity to customize their favorite fourOsix branded clothing.
In 2011, Rincon was named SBA's Montana Young Entrepreneur of the Year and was selected to participate in an exclusive event at the White House called Champions of Change. This program highlighted stories and examples of citizens across the country that represented President Obama's vision of out-innovating, out-educating, and out-building the rest of the world through effective projects and initiatives that move their communities forward.
Rincon humbly admits being an inspiration to other people, including the usual younger generation that shops in his store. "I get to talk to my customers about what it's like to own my own business and talk to them about dreaming big and sometimes just going for it," Rincon said. "More than just the success of my business though, I love being able to really have passion for what I do."

Acer Aspire One D260, GMA 950
SpecificationsNotebook: Acer Aspire One D260, GMA 950 (Aspire One D260 Series)
Processor: Intel Atom N450
Graphics Adapter: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950
Display: 10.1 inch, 16:9, 1024x600 pixels, glossy: yes
Weight: 1.3kg
Price: 300 euro
Reviews for the Acer Aspire One D260, GMA 950
Source: HardwareLuxx DE→EN
Single Review, online available, Long, Date: 01/08/2011
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
Intel Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated memory controller and GMA 3150 GPU. The performance of the system should be only minimally faster than the previous Atom N280 / GMA 950 combination.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
10.1": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.3 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist only few sub-notebooks, which weight less. 10 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Acer: Acer Incorporated is a Taiwanese multinational electronics manufacturer. Its product lineup includes desktops and laptops, as well as personal digital assistants (PDAs), servers and storage, displays, peripherals, and e-business services for business, government, education, and home users. Acer is the third largest computer manufacturer in the world (by sales) after HP and Dell Inc (2007). The company owns the largest franchised computer retail chain in Taipei, Taiwan. Originally named Multitech, it was founded in 1976. Gateway and Packard Bell are economically connected with Acer. Market share regarding sales of personal computers in 2007 (market research IDC): HP 18.9 %, Dell 16.4 %, Acer 9.9 %, Lenovo 7.5 %, Apple 5.7 %

Home Narcissi
Share this page
Nothing says springtime like the beautiful narcissus, commonly known as the daffodil. Bright and cheerful, they bring a sense of optimism for the year ahead.
There are many different varieties of narcissus, large and small, and they not only look beautiful in gardens and public spaces, but they add colour, texture and often scent to bouquets and arrangements.
Did You Know?
Narcissi are said to be the flower to celebrate a 10th wedding anniversary.
Did You Know?
Prince Charles receives one daffodil each year for the unattended land on the Isles of Scilly.
The daffodil was one of the 17 flowers recreated on icing to decorate Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding cake.
Did You Know?
Wales has the daffodil as it national emblem – it is traditionally worn on St. David's Day.
There are more than 50 species and over 25,000 varieties of daffodil.
We've selected our favourite gifts featuring the narcissus from our Spring Collection…
Sol d'or and paper whites are varieties that have multiple small heads per stems. Sol d'or are yellow with orange cores and paper whites are a crisp white.
Both varieties have a fresh, heady scent, which make them beautiful gifts. We've used them here to complement other seasonal flowers to create two very picturesque arrangements, which are perfect for springtime occasions.
The humble yellow daffodil is a lovely addition to a bouquet of fresh seasonal flowers to give it a real springtime feels. Our Extra Large Spring Hand-tied would make a beautiful gift for a birthday or other special occasion.
Or you could choose to fill a vase with daffodils alone, making a real statement of spring. Our Simply 100 daffodils make a very generous gift that can either be displayed in one large vase, or split into several vases throughout the home.
The tête-à-tête variety of narcissus is beautifully fragrant and a popular plant in gardens across the country. With up to 20 flower heads per bulb, just a few bulbs can create a mass of colour to brighten up a spring day.
We've chosen to plant some tête-à-tête bulbs in a whitewashed woven softwood basket, which is perfect to display inside the home. The bulbs can then be transferred to the garden so they will flower again year after year.
To see our full Spring Collection, including a selection of bouquets, arrangements and plants featuring narcissus, visit our Spring Collection page.

Happy New Year!Posted in Gigs, News on January 1st, 2013 by DrunkenFerretCrew
A treasure-filled new year to all of ye! This year's upcoming festivals will be added shortly. Check back soon!
A treasure-filled new year to all of ye! This year's upcoming festivals will be added shortly. Check back soon!
This unlikely crew of scalliwags and bilge bunkers have pillaged and burned all they way to Stuart FL on Sept 8th and 9th, 2012, where we will be headlining the Treasure Coast Pirate Fest!
If you can't join us then be sure to watch our FaceBook page at facebook.com/
That's right, Pirates for Sail's third CD, "Dark Side of the Lagoon", has landed!
While you can get it directly from us at any of our gigs, you can also pick it up or download the tracks via CDBaby and iTunes!
If you've already picked up your copy, heck with it, buy another one! Or at least write us a nice review, would you? And please spread the word! If you do, we
promise will try our very best to remember to honor your parlay if we ever get in a scuffle.
Join Pirates for Sail aboard the pirate ship Fearless in Baltimore's Fells Point next Thursday, June 14 at 5:30PM! Because every Star-Spangled Sailabration is better with pirates.
Oh, look at that! We just happen to have almost full-reign over a park where you can get booze and food! That means you'll stop by the Thames Street Park Grog Garden and see us while you're indulging in the glory that is Fells Point Privateer Day tomorrow, 4/21……right?
Right, of course you will! Glad we've got that sorted out.
See you there!
Yes, that's right. The Drunken Ferret crew has finally finished recording their third CD: "Dark Side of the Lagoon"! Now on to the mixing process! Expect to see it hit the Internet and festival circuit in the coming months!
Can't give an exact date just yet. Depends on when we can find the mystical amulet that controls the work speed of the undead mixing monkeys. Wish us luck, mates!
T'was the night before X-Mas and all through the 'Ferret,
Not a crewman was sober, not even the parrot.
The hammocks were hung for to help some to snore,
Though it mattered not, most were passed out on the floor.
The Captain, however, awake though unhindered,
Decided to stay on the deck and so lingered,
With Last Mate and Stringalong and a barrel of brandy,
Coming up with a battle plan which they all found dandy.
"Captain Nick," said our leader, "That bastard will pay!
He'll give us his treasure or we'll blow him away!
On my honor as Captain, on my oath, on my creed,
He'll surrender our presents, he'll surrender, indeed!"
Not a moment had passed when with a crash the ship lurched,
And knocked poor old Stringalong off the rail he'd been perched.
As he splashed in the water Captain sprung to her feet,
Crying "Our enemy's arrived! Tim, ready my fleet!"
"Ye've got but one ship, dear," The Late Mate explained,
Then watched as the color from Captain's cheeks drained.
"I knew that!" she stammered, then whistle she blew,
"Our ship's been attacked! Where the hell is my crew?!"
"Oi One-Eye, Dogg, Morgann, Chanté, Finn and Skippy,
Hey Black Dog, Gute, Red Jack, Flint, Rackham, and Annie!
Tell Lassie and Misty to ready their fire,
Then get all yer weapons, we've gifts to acquire!"
In an instant the wooden boat creaked and it clattered,
And the drunken crew stumbled to see what was the matter,
"It's not Nick," said Lassie as above deck she bound,
"The prow's in the sand, Cap, the ship's run aground!"
"Again?" muttered One-Eye as he sadly sheathed Blinky,
"Didn't we sink Nick?" asked Gute, scratching head with a pinky.
"…Oh, right," said the Captain, now feeling a bit dim.
"Well…someone should probably go fish out Jim."
Despite the "small" setbacks the crew had their cheer,
And talked of the presents they'd buy themselves the next year.
When from the deep they thought they heard Captain Nick yell,
"F*** all of you pirates, I'll see you in hell!"
Seeing as how I've had the fortune (or quite possibly misfortune — I'm not entirely sure yet) of becoming acquainted with a few members of this lot of ne'er-do-wells, I thought I would share with you a very festive tale of plundering and hijinks from the crew of The Dirty Maid.
If you've been having problems viewing the site or dealing with emailing the Captain or using our contact form, apologies all around! We've been moving to a shiny new website at a shiny new hosting service…and by "we've" I pretty much mean "I've", so any and all blame, hate mail, throwing daggers, etc. can be sent my way. Should be all sorted out shortly! Pardon the dust and whatnot.
In the meanwhile, here's a fun video of Lassie giving Stringalong and Gute carpal tunnel (or possibly a heart attack) back at the Wilmington Pirate Festival this past June! Many thanks to John Coffey!
Pirates For Sail at Kalmar Nyckel from John Coffey on Vimeo.
It is with great sadness but unwavering love that the crew must bid farewell to Sandra Gilbert-Everett, also known as our amazing chest wench Azure Skye, who passed away on Monday after suffering a brain aneurysm. She truly was the Ship's Matron — always ready with medicine when our bodies ached, encouraging words and a smile when our hearts ached, knew everyone and was known by everyone, and was ready and willing to show you around the Faire when you had never gone and go again with you whenever you wanted.
No matter what — if any — afterlife you may believe in, you can agree that as long as she is remembered and celebrated, she is never truly gone. She lives on in the hearts and minds of her friends and family.
Sandra Gilbert-Everett
June 12, 1947 – October 10, 2011
Beloved wife, mother, counselor, chest wench and friend
"Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight and ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight ~
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there ~ I did not die."
-Mary E. Frye

Al Thomson's '69 Z/28
Al's Z/28 is one of the nicest Camaros we have ever seen. Everywhere we looked, top or bottom, was detailed to perfection. When we first heard about it we thought, "Oh great, another Hugger Orange and white '69 Z/28." Boy were we wrong! The stance was perfect as was the wheel and tire choice. Be sure to check out the Winter 2002 issue of CAMARO PERFORMERS for a full feature.

The Internet of Things is not only adding billions of sensors and billions of terabytes to the Internet. It is also forcing a fundamental change in the way we envision Information Technology. For the first time, more data is being created by devices at the edge of the Internet rather than from centralized systems. What does this mean for today's IT professional? In this Power Panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists addressed this very serious issue of profound change in the industry.
Jul. 1, 2015 03:30 PM EDT Reads: 1,059
Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information.

British teenage whiz strikes deal with Yahoo
nepal At 17, he's a tech whiz, he's rich - and he can even offer some advice on how to raise your kids.
Teenage programmer Nick D'Aloisio's decision to sell his news application Summly to Yahoo for what's rumored to be a massive payout has turned him into a media sensation. The sale caps a short but successful career at Apple Inc.'s vast app store, where hundreds of thousands of pieces of software compete for the attention of smartphone and tablet users.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, D'Aloisio said his computer skills were self-taught, explaining that he started by mastering movie-making software before tackling programming languages.
He said his parents were "very enthusiastic and supportive." Asked what advice he'd give couples hoping to raise their own wunderkinds, he urged them to let their children explore their own paths - be it computer science or drama.
"If there's a natural curiosity, that'll lead to, eventually, some success," the teenager said.
Summly is one of several apps that D'Aloisio has designed. It uses complex algorithms to automatically condense online news content into attractive little blocks of text that are useful for the small screens of smartphones.
D'Aloisio said he was thrilled to be working for a "classic Internet company" - Yahoo! Inc. is older than he is - and he laughingly dismissed a reporter's suggestion that his friends might be jealous.
"All my friends have been very supportive," he said.
He noted that the publicity over Summly had been building for more than a year, meaning he and those close to him had had time to adjust to the outside attention.
As with its other recent acquisitions, Yahoo didn't disclose how much it is paying for Summly, although British newspapers suggested the deal's value at several million dollars. D'Aloisio had already received investment from several sources, including venture capitalist backer Li Ka-Shing.
Asked what he'll do with the payout, he responded with serious answers unbefitting of an adolescent. He said the money was being kept in a trust until he turns 18, and he didn't seem interested in talking about what he'd buy for himself for his next birthday.
"I'd like to keep it safe. Bank it .... If I was to do anything it'd be angel investing," said D'Aloisio, who is slim with dark brown hair and bears a passing resemblance to Josh Radnor, the actor who plays main character Ted in the TV sitcom "How I Met Your Mother."
The teen app expert said he was interested in automated technologies that could anticipate users' needs before they even reached for their smartphones - such as an app that downloads the day's news stories just before a user steps into a subway.
D'Aloisio said there were no copyright concerns about Summly, which works by running a statistical analysis of the text to guess which bits are the most relevant to cut the content down. Media companies such as New York-based News Corp. have collaborated on making their content more Summly-friendly, he said, arguing that shortening software would ultimately be a win-win for content providers.

The band on debut album
Immortal Classics Chinese Music (Worship Guitars, 1995)
was Clinton Heider on guitar and vocals,
Steve Finley on bass, Larry Liska on drums
(mostly Schlong Weasel veterans).
Astral Toads and Hamburger Girl are languid, eccentric ballads
that recall Rain Parade's baroque sound
and early Pink Floyd's brisk melodies.
Friendswood Development Company
and the Black Sabbath parody Linus Theme are novelties that cross the
Camper Van Beethoven with the
Flaming Lips.
And the nine-minute
Mournebong testifies of an unfocused, if promising, project, spanning
several years of recordings.
The free-form acid-rock of Red Krayola and early Grateful Dead permeates
the 22-minute monster Improvise Now, the highlight of
Linus Pauling Quartet (September Girls, 1996), an album of which only
550 copies were printed.
It contains the first version of the novelty Dance Of The Bug People.
Upgraded to a six piece, with the addition of Charlie Ebersbaker ("Horshack")
on sax and Flip Osman on keyboards, LP4 released
Killing You With Rock (September Girls, 1998), their most professional
album, with well-structured and varied (if still whacky) songs such as
Hendrix's Boots and Sunn Beta, framed by the synth-based workout
Interstellar Absolute Power Bootycall Explosion
and the stellar ten-minute opus The Colour Out of Space.
The 20-minute The Great Singularity shows immense imagination and
Ashes In the Bong of God (Fleece, 2000), a sci-fi concept album of sorts,
is equally sophisticated and, if possible, even more "stoned".
the 13-minute The Man
Gato Barbieri-ish saxophone wailing over mellow, suspenseful rhtyhm
a` la Pink Floyd's Careful With That Axe o Doors' The End,
interrupted by Clinton Heider's distorted moaning
In Birds of the Amazon one guitar buzzes like a mosquito while the
other toys with a Captain Beefheart-ian motive, the drums and the synth
painting an exotic atmosphere and the whole surreal piece resembling
David Thomas' most abstract work.
After another spoken-word track (Two Artifacts),
the band launches into the farcical synth-based instrumental
Peter Buck vs. Billy Barty in the Great Unknown"
that sounds like a parody of Sixties' beach music.
13th Floor Elevator-grade croaking propels the abrasive, lo-fi garage-rock of
Helicopter in Tunisia is a driving space-rock jam in the vein of
Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine augmented with stellar guitar drones
and tribal drumming, and stretched to become a Sister Ray-ish raga.
Like all LP4 albums, Ashes overflows with ideas. If only half of them
were fully realized, it would be a timeless masterpiece.
Unfortunately, the songs are separated by spoken-word intermezzos which
detract from the music (even The Eye Of God, the best soup of
warped sound effects and voice).
Charlie Horshack, also a member of the Hawthorne Improvisation Collective,
has released several solo albums of home-made droning music
under the monicker Charlie Naked.
Horshack's manifesto are the
five free-jazz improvisations of Improvised Horsey.
The title-track of The Drone Wrench is a lengthy drone, and on the
same disc is accompanied by bizarre vignettes like
The Soundless Flute and Bliss and the Sitar.
Divine Homework is a movie soundtrack.
The Bastard Index includes electronics and trombone.
Seven Monkeys is a double disc of reverb-drenched ambient psychedelia.
The title-track of The Bassist Is Never Alone is
built around simple guitar/bass chords and by weaving overdubs and samples.
The album also contains Voicebox 3 A.M., a composition scored for
three radios and a bass.
The futuristic The Magnificent Octopus for electronic keyboards,
e-bow and Theremin and
Oceans of Shattered Glass, constructed randomly by a computer from
scores fed by the composer, promoted Horshack to the ranks of modern classical
The sound of these austere and difficult albums is almost ambient, although
too "dirty" to be relaxing or soothing.
In 2001
Charlie Naked was working on an ambient/electronic/noise album called
Space Monkey.
C6H8O6 (September Gurls, 2003) is two albums in one. On the one hand,
the Quartet mixes some Hawkwind and Chrome to obtain the supercharged
Switzer, La Tapatia and Cannonball. On the other hand,
they indulge in spaced-out jams such as Airplane, the
15-minute Hall of Mirrors and the 12-minute Thorn.
All The Things Are Light (Camera Obscura, 2008) refined their
triple-guitar attack, with guitar hero Ramon Medina center stage.
The class of the performers was not matched by the inspiration of the
composers, though, as the pieces often sound like dejavu and rarely
generate powerful emotions.

The Windows Phone 7 ad that Microsoft probably wishes it had made
By day Brandon Foy is a digital artist, but by night he is a Windows Phone 7 fanboy with enough time on his hands to make a rather swish unofficial Windows Phone 7 advert, that's even got Microsoft men approving.
"Loving this unofficial WP7 ad by a fan (not us) - synth pop crazy! http://bit.ly/frJi6P", tweeted James Tutt, a Microsoft UK PR man after presumably seeing the video that's already been enjoyed over 50,000 times on YouTube.
And James would be right, the video might not meet with Microsoft's strict image guidelines, but it's certainly great fun. Great enough to get you to go and buy a new Windows Phone 7 smartphone? Hmmm...
What do you think?

Wild Week Sees Georgia Ascend To No. 1 In USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 Poll
STARKVILLE, Miss. – A loss by previous No. 1 UCLA and a perfect 10-0 start to the 2011 campaign proved to be the magic formula that Georgia needed to rise to the top spot in the latest USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 poll that was released by the Association on Tuesday.
The Bulldogs, who are coming off of their second straight 5-0 week, received 16 of the 30 first place votes and were followed by UCLA (9-1) with 11 first place votes. Dropping one spot to No. 3 was Arizona (10-1), while undefeated Florida (9-0) and Alabama (10-0) rounded out the top five.
Staying put at sixth were the Sooners of Oklahoma (11-1), while Washington (8-0) moved up three spots to seventh. Falling five spots to No. 8 was Tennessee (9-1) who lost twice on the week , while Michigan (10-0) and Hawaii finished in ninth and 10th, respectively.
Moving into the poll for the first time in over two years this week was No. 23 Houston (9-1), who scored two wins over No. 18 LSU and a win over No. 20 Oklahoma St. The lone team to fall out of the latest edition of the rankings was No. 22 North Carolina, who was swept in a three-game set by Florida.
The USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 Poll is voted on by NCAA Division I head coaches, one representing each conference.
