Thursday, June 27, 2013
The Cane Bay High baseball program hosted a youth baseball camp this month, teaching fundamentals of the game to 34 campers from around the Lowcountry.
Cobras head baseball coach Shane Todd said the campers, which ranged in age from 6 to 13, braved the hottest temperatures of the early summer and had a great time.
"We had a great group of kids with even numbers in ages across the board and I think they had a great time," Todd said. "It was great to see some of our current and former players out there helping teach the game of baseball and the kids responded well to our guys."
Each day, camp began with a stretching session as members of the Cane Bay program demonstrated warm-up exercises. After a throwing session, campers were placed in their preferred defensive positions, one each day, and were taught basic fundamentals of the position. After defensive work, the groups worked in hitting and base-running stations.
The final half hour of each day allowed the players to separate into teams, within their age groups, for scrimmages.
On Thursday, the final day, each age group participated in skills contests, which included a home run derby, long-tossing and base-running contest. At the end of the day, campers were treated to a special "sliding practice" session on a water-soaked plastic mat, which was especially nice on a 95 degree day. Each camper received a camp T-shirt.
Former members of the Cane Bay baseball program that served as instructors include Ty Wilder, Zack Wimmer, Brandon Hall, Bobby Downey and Austin Timm. Current Cobras who assisted included Cody Maw, Tanner Coleman, Trey Burdette and Christian Dutton.

What do a Cheez-It box, a paper bag and a "Reader's Digest" book have in common? An opportunity to create a new book, at least for Bess Ratsimbaharison.
When inspiration strikes or a request is made, Ratsimbaharison takes out her tools and starts away at the craft she's been doing since her undergraduate days – book binding.
On Saturday, she will teach this craft at the Aiken Center for the Arts. The class will focus on something she particularly favors within book binding – using recycled materials.
"I just do with what I have because it's a lot easier and cost effective," she said.
She favors recycled paper because she likes the way it looks. One thing she uses is paper bags. Her friends will save their bags for her. Then, she will take the bags and iron them out for future material.
Another thing she will do is take old "Reader's Digest" books and replace their pages. One example is the Bible she carries around. She has made so many different books, she has lost count.
She also makes books for her friends.
"I had a friend obsessed with Cheez-It, so I made a book out of a Cheez-It box," she said.
She's currently working on a guest book for her friend's wedding.
There's no limit how to big or thick the book can be.
"It's totally endless possibilities," she said. "You just have to have the patience to stitch the pages in."
How Ratsimbaharison starts is with a book block – the book itself.
Basically, you take four to five pages and, then, fold and put them together in signatures, or sections. Keep doing this, until all the pages are put together. For this, you can use whatever paper you wish. However, you might not want to go too thin, Ratsimbaharison advises, because it could make the process a bit difficult.
Then you take a tool called the awl to poke holes in the crease. This is to set up stitching the pages together.
The binding material is up to the person. What Ratsimbaharison uses is embroidery floss ran through beeswax. The wax is important for texture and to make the material stick. There is book binding thread that is already pre-waxed, Ratsimbaharison said.
Next, take a book binding needle, basically a long sewing needle, loop the thread in and start sewing.
You sew one section together, and then attach each section until complete.
How you do the cover and what you use is up to you, as well. Ratsimbaharison often uses mat boards, rubber cement and flexible paper.
She glues the paper down onto the mat board. The paper is a half-inch larger than the board. You fold the edges over the board, "like a present." Once the paper is dried on, it can be glued onto the inside pages of the book block.
This will give you the final product.
Ratsimbaharison majored in textile design at Savannah College Art and Design. It was there that she picked up book binding.
Through her experiences teaching others, she has found there hasn't been many problems.
As long as they are a bit "crafty," people should be able to pick it up, she said.
Currently, Ratsimbaharison lives with her husband and their dog, Louis. Both she and her husband work with the ministry Young Life.
Her book binding class is $40 and will be at 10 a.m. The ACA front desk has a supply list, though Ratsimbaharison does ask people to bring their own paper.
The ACA is at 122 Laurens St.

Tanner EDA Releases HiPer Siliconâ"¢ v15.23
Front-end design capabilities bolstered with HiPer Simulationâ"¢ AFS and
enhanced T-Spice
MONROVIA, California – Sept 20, 2012 – Tanner EDA, the catalyst for innovation for the design, layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) and MEMS devices, has released version 15.23 of their full-flow analog and mixed-signal design suite: HiPer Silicon™. The addition of HiPer Simulation™ AFS to version 15.23 gives designers added capabilities for front-end design flow, including schematic capture, dual circuit simulators and waveform probing.
HiPer Silicon version 15.23 includes Tanner Analog FastSPICE (T-AFS), which integrates the Berkeley Design Automation Analog FastSPICE™ Platform with Tanner EDA's S-Edit™ schematic capture and W-Edit™ waveform analyzer. With HiPer Simulation AFS , two Spice simulators deliver the ultimate in performance and productivity, even for large netlists. T-Spice provides fast, accurate analysis while T-AFS delivers accuracy with runtimes 5x to 10x faster than traditional Spice simulators, on a single core. Users can drive the T-AFS simulator directly from S-Edit, getting the speeds and accuracy necessary for nanometer design. Simulation results are displayed automatically in W-Edit for viewing, measuring, and analyzing interactively.
Figure 1: Tanner EDA's S-Edit design environment for schematic capture
For additional information on T-AFS or a product datasheet, please see http://www.tannereda.com/tafs . As always, Tanner EDA offers a free 30-day evaluation.
Version 15.23 also adds new TCL commands to S-Edit, supporting greater functionality. And T-Spice now supports the HiSIM-HV model. Integration with Berkeley Design Automation transient noise analysis capability allows users to simulate realistic device noise effects for all circuits, especially non-periodic circuits such as sigma-delta ADCs and frac-N PLLs.
"With the T-AFS capability in version 15.23, Tanner EDA now offers the fastest, most productive and robust front end analog design package on the market,†said John Zuk, vice president of marketing and business strategy at Tanner EDA.  "Users can now verify complex analog and RF circuits with nanometer Spice accuracy while still taking advantage of Tanner EDA's industry-leading price-performance.â€

only reason law enforcement dosen't want fully auto weapons is 2 reasons 1 the federal goverment want's that tax for stamp know where and who owns them so they know where they are 2 they don't won't to be out gunned by private citizens saiga/iszmash are the only foreign made reciever all recievers made now are american look at your kits they don't come with recievers because romanian russian or what other variant because they can be made full auto with no modification . but i was told thefull auto parts in the same place as the ak even if parts aren't even installed its considered fullauto by atf if you buy kit keep in garage out side of house 5k to buy legal 20k fines illegal plus loss of your guns and 10k attorney fees but for 79.00 you can buy bolt on trigger attachment that shoots 3rd burst legally . you figure that one out
Could you try that again? Hard to understand exactly what you are saying.
BTW, it doesn't matter if the parts are in your garage or your house, as long as they are "under the control" of a person it's considered the same as if they were all in one place. You were told wrong, ATF doesn't consider all the FA parts and a receiver in the same place to be an MG because the semi auto receivers have to be modified to accept the FA parts. Modifying the receiver is what gets you in trouble. If they went after people for having FA AK parts along with a semi auto receiver or gun they would be arresting nearly every kit purchaser out there.
There are plenty of foreign made AKs with foreign receivers coming into the country, Century WASRs from Romania and the Arsenal ones from Bulgaria, just to name 2. Dunno if the FEGs are still coming in from Hungary? Those are commercially made semi autos, the kits came from cut up full auto military surplus rifles. That is why the receiver is gone on those, Saiga is not the only game in town for a semi auto foreign receiver.
Don't confuse a signature line with a post. I would vote for that 1/2 term whack job Alaskan governor idiot Palin even if she was the only name on the ballot.
1. I like to look at her and I like Tina Fey and giving Tina Fey constant gigs would do me just fine. She doesnt have to say a word and most people would prefer she didn't.
2. She'd lock Washington up tighter than a frogs ass like we havent seen since Bill Clinton had a Republican Congress. Nothing would get done! Nothing says good government like government that does nothing and is infighting all the time. Sign me up.

I am surprised no one mentioned the issue of a runaway gun or the barrel melting like a limp dick....not that I read all 11 pages but didn't see it in the beginning...
Support your fellow American's as they demand the Constitution be upheld above all other Law. GOTFR.org
People can talk shit about Sarah Palin all they want but Alaska show the truth....everyone can carry without a permit so it is the only state that upholds the 2nd Ammendment to a T, not to mention Alaska is the only state that actually turns a proffit , so much so that all residents been there over a year get a check, the extra proffit is divided between the residents....that is how it should be. Granted it is only $1k-$2k a year it is still free money....and pot is legal there up to an ounce....realistically she would probably do a great job.
We need more soccer moms in politics and average people who relate to people and aren't out for special interests. I would never vote for a liberal for that reason, they are all about an agenda vs being for the people and less Govt....they want to tell you how you should live every aspect of your life and that is Unconstitutional , especially in a supposed "free" country, even though we are really just a police state with relaxed marxist socialist Pres who has a touch of communist tendencies....it is sad we qualify for for most of what it takes to be a communist country according to the Communist Manifesto...this is coming to an end though, the people are taking their country back!
Support your fellow American's as they demand the Constitution be upheld above all other Law. GOTFR.org
NHM since the AK typically only has a 30 rnd mag the barrel won't get hot enough for the limp dick thing to happen, it would most likely get hot enough to burn flesh though.
I think Palin is a good person with the right agenda, but you have to admit, she does seem like an airhead at times
Also I think Chip's pic needs a question mark at the end, I didn't get it at first
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Sure, I be willing to be that I am smarter than Palin (raw IQ), but smart doesn't get the job done... Values do, I would vote for this woman in a heart beat. It's her values I appreciate, she can find all the smart people she needs to surround herself with to make the right decisions.
No question Obama is smart, how's that working out for you?

I think it's worse!!!! Get abt 6 hours of use thats it!!!
Poll: How's your iPhone 4S battery life?
So... how's the battery life on your brand new iPhone 4S? We've already asked you about battery life under iOS 5 in general, but now that you have that Apple A5 processor to power and the Siri voice assistant feature to play with, battery life could be getting hit harder than ever.
Now a new phone, especially one that talks back to you, is so fun to use that we might not get back down to every day levels for a while still. But if you're not talking to Siri every minute, if you set up as new rather than restoring from backup, if you're not lighting up all the new location-based Reminders and Find my Friends, and your Notification Center isn't set to the full fire hose, how do you think battery life compares to your previous phone?
Is it great, gets through the day, no problems whatsoever? Is it about the same? Is it so bad you've stopped using Siri, turned off location services, disabled push notifications, and gone to commiserate with your Android wielding friends?
Vote up top and give us the details, including anything that's helped you improve battery life, in the comments below!

Poll: How's your iPhone 4S battery life?
Same. I only got 6 hours. Can't blame apple or iPhone 4 since I never used an iPhone before but I still think 6 hours of juice is not enough
Not an iPhone 4 user but looks to be getting me through a days use....so i would say about an average battery comparing it to my old phone...
I too just switched to the iphone from the Droid X. Hated the Droid so much that the iphone is amazingly easier, SMALLER, and much clearer with the buttons you are really pushing. I love it. Hoping the battery is not going to become an issue, cause I really don't think I could give up the awesome iphone. PS, Droid went straight to the garbage!
I assumed the first day with it, I couldnt use that as a gauge of battery life but today , minimal use it is at 50% already. DEF worse that iPhone4
Not as good as the iPhone 4, but probably still good enough to get me through a normal day. The first few days have not been normal!
This is my 1st iPhone, so I can't say. I do know I will need a charging dock at work though.
Worse than the iPhone 4, but probably enough to get me through a night at work (I normally top up before I head in.) It's possible Apple can tweak it over time with iOS updates, so we'll just see what happens. Still the best smartphone on earth.
The problem is that I'm playing with it SO much it's had to get a good gauge of it. I took 300+ photos and videos yesterday, not a good gauge. And I dropped to 40% in 3 hours. I also played with Siri outside on a super windy day (amazingly well) and used foursquare and uploaded photos and videos to FourSquare and Facebook and shot some PhotoSynsths.
But I think I now that I think about it, that's an awful lot to only drop to 40%. Somewhere after hour 3 I plugged in a spare battery (some of the above was done after hour 3), but I was really out 5 hours.
I'm a compulsively charger prepared person: I've got a car charger and USBs plugged into my computer and 2 cheap spare external batteries (I keep one in my backpack and one in my bicycle bag).
I can't complain. I had a Palm Pre plus on Verizon before my iPhone 4S. I was lucky if I got 2 hours of use out of it. Maps? Maybe 30 minutes. But with the iPhone, life is a candy dream of long lasting power.
Jack, you probably "used up" the battery on the Pre. Mine got to where I could eke out 1 hour of use, took it to the Sprint store where they tested it and gave me a new battery. Said the old one was "unchargeable".
I almost always had to charge my Pre during the day, with wifi and GPS off. Yesterday the 4S went all day, wifi and GPS on, and I still had 30% left when I went to bed. Candy dream indeed!
I still have my Pre+ (waiting on my iPhone order to arrive). The first 40% burns up in about an hour of very heavy use. I don't play games, just listen to podcasts, web surf and read news, Twitter and FB. The remaining 60% takes at least a few hours to use up. It can stay on standby for an entire work day and still be at 80% remaining. If this new iPhone shows similar battery life as my Pre+ even on a good day, I will be very disappointed as it should be 10x better, literally.
Updated 3 devices...2 iphone 4 and an iPad 2. Had horrible battery drain on one of the iPhones. Had to restore as a new phone to rectify situation. Battery life is now slightly better than ios 4.3 on all devices.
James, for those who went from iphone 4 to 4s, that is still a pretty bad battery consumption. Glad you're satisfied though. You'er previous phone must have been really bad.
Sadly, the battery life on my 4S is very similar to the Pre that was my previous phone. This includes not only battery drain while in use but also on my nightstand while sleeping. Both of the areas of use are fairly poor signal strength so hopefully that's the reason.
What does Restore from Backup have to do with it?
I think the battery duration is assuming Siri is turned off to get the maximum battery performance.
Just upgraded from jailbroken 3gs. the 4s seems to drain the battery much quicker. Had the phone charging over night, unplugged it and left it on my desk all morning--didn't use it. Went to check email and saw the batter was down to 80%. WTF? I'm assuming some of the background apps and possibly iCloud stuff was going on while the phone was idle, but that was a huge drop for me not actively using it. Never saw that on the 3gs.
Coming from HTC EVO Shift 4g and battery life is night and day....
Off the charger Saturday morning at 7am from full charge and at Sunday night at 8pm and down to 7%.
That time included many text messages, playing with phone, some games and picture of my 22 month old son.
Very impressed with battery compared to my android phone.
Impossible!!!! mine is full at 7 am and down to 15% before i arrive my home after work around 6:30pm. I never listen to music, I only use IM+, and several text, play game for half an hour, and that's it. and I have already put off the notification, location, push functions. I totally disappointedly about the battery life!!!!!
I can't help but open and close thing to compare to how fast my 4 was, so at this point it's kind of hard to compare because it certainly hasn't had any thing near "normal usage". That being said I am still not disappointed.
Dont you think this is bizzare! Calibrate your battery first.. "Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps his mouth shut"
Mine is calibrated/conditioned (through 3 cycles of 0-100% and it still has terrible battery... i've even turned certain features off and dimmed the screen as much as I can bare! I have to have bluetooth, push, and locations enabled... the rest is off (ping, certain locations, notification center... etc). Apple definetely lied about battery life... or just ran the phone with NOTHING on... and used it as an iTouch!
Man..I feel that my iphone 4 battery power was way better. Hope apple can do something about it.
Firstly, its mere stupidity to ask about the iphone 4s battery life at this time. Its been only 4 days since everyone got their iPhone 4S!! It takes many charge cycles to estimate the battery life. Moreover, I am sure many would not have calibrated their batteries (Charge and complete discharge for 2-3 times).
It's not stupidity - you can tell straight away how the battery is doing. If, like some of us, you have gone from an iPhone 4 to a 4S, then you know what to expect. And you also know that if it is just sitting on the desk it shouldn't run out of battery in 8 hours (as mine is doing). Calibrating the batteries like you say is not really necessary.
So far the battery life seems good, having no issues with it, working fine and enjoying it. Hope that later on it doesn't get worst.
Bzzzzzzt.... Wrong! You don't need to condition the battery.http://www.apple.com/batteries/
"You can also recharge a lithium-ion polymer battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep nickel-based batteries at peak performance."
Different kind of conditioning. You still need to give it at least 7-10 FULL charge cycles before you'll see realistic performacne of battery life. It's the same thing every year with every iphone. People get excited the first 48-72 hours. But after 2 weeks you'll see much better battery life. Tipb should remeber this.
This is my first iPhone and the better life is so much better than my Epic 4g.
My battery life has been less than what I expected, based on Apple's site. However, just today I turned off location services, bluetooth, change email to manually pull in new mail and shut off notifications on things I didn't care to receive notifications on. Hopefully this will do wonders!
Upgraded from 3GS and battery is amazing! Have used my phone a lot today and have still got 50% left 3GS would have died by now
i don't know what you guys are talking about... it is about 2:30PM where i am at, and i wake up at 7am. from about 7:30am that i unplugged the iPhone 4s, using it non-stop, making calls, texting, sending e-mails, and facebooking all day so far i am down to 73% battery, i have my screen set to about 80% bright, all my features like bluetooth, wireless, push notifications, and everything pretty much you can turn on the phone, ON... so i don't know if people are lying, or just a bunch of android users here, or if these people are just crazy, but i think the Battery life is pretty much amazing...
Samson, I am not doubting your very respectable battery performance, but all I can say is where there's smoke there's fire, and there are clearly a lot of people that "perceive" the battery to be draining inexplicably fast. As for my experience, I left my new 4S in the car at 8:00 AM (not permitted to bring it inside due to security restrictions) when I went in to work. I returned to the car at 1:30 PM to find that it had dropped from 95% to 65%. That works out to ~5.5%/hr doing nothing but laying around in standby mode. Of course I had all the iCloud and Google mail/contacts/calendar sync'ing ON and probably about 15 apps with push notifications ON, but then apparently so do you. So maybe there's just one thing or a specific combination of settings and factors, that is nailing a lot of people, and apparently some have it even worse. At any rate, assuming it is not all in our heads, I hope it either gets fixed or we can determine the cause and find a palatable work around.
(full disclosure: Former Droid user; first time iPhone user, and so far I love it in spite of a few Android things I dearly miss, and in spite of my concerns about the alleged battery issue.)
I switched from my iPhone 4 to 4S & the the battery life on 4S drains much much faster than the 4. I believe SIRI sucks a lot of its energy. Its quite noticable & I am starting to worry about it.
Have same issues with 4s battery life, new to Iphone have always had Blackberry. This link has some useful tips which I will try before returning mine to Tmobile http://www.iphonestuffs4u.com/iphone-4-battery-life/
Compared to my 4, its worse but I'm not complaining. Today is the only time I even let the battery hit the red zone (was at 1% before I noticed and plugged it in). I'm using Siri, mostly asking for drugs and hookers and setting alarms but still... I'm constantly being pushed FB and Twitter updates with emails. I'm wirelessly syncing and using iCloud between the phone and iPad. Its worse but I'm using it and I haven't done the suggested charge cycles so yah... I can't really bitch about it.
My battery sucks and I have a lot of the features turned off in fact my 4S should be considered in airplane mode but I have my Facebook open so I can not go into airplane mode. I do have Wi-Fi off and my email push is off and my fetch my mail in about 30 minutes. I do have to carry my car charger with me because my battery will die by the end of this day.
FIXED MY BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE! – I tried all the tweaks as well, to no avail. What finally brought my new iPhone 4s back to the battery longevity of my iPhone 4 (pre-iOS5) was turning off the Notification Widgets (weather and stocks) that are the default in the new notification bar (the one that now acts like an android). Simply go to settings, then "notifications" is the 3rd option. Next, find the two default widgets (Stock Widget and Weather Widget), and turn them off. If you have any other widgets running, turn them off as well.
Apple pre-calibrates all of their batteries.
My 4S was worse than 4 and was having to boost the charge during the day. Been slowly turning off location based and already had brightness optimized. BUT I think I've made some real progress with Siri -- TURN OFF RAISE TO SPEAK and just use the home button. I'm now down only 22% in 4-5 hrs.
Thank you for this suggestion! I had shut down just about everything else that could be shut down and was still recharging after 3-5 hours of moderate use. I shut down this part of Siri's function and now have gone for about 8 hours of moderate to high use, including over an hour of turn by turn audio navigation, and still have 28% battery left. It's not perfect, but it is livable.
Very disappointed. The UI is backwards, the battery is not that great for a real power user. I liked my Palm pre (Original one from 2 years ago) much better. I expect to get more than 12 hours of use out of a brand new phone. Especially one advertised to get 200 hours of stand by time.
After letting battery run down and charging to 100% I made one phone call and phone went down 20% - then I called Apple Care. I was told to shut off wifi, notifications, (they were all off) blue tooth, auto brightness and just about every auto function on the phone to get it to last more than 7 hours. I did this and phone lasted about 7 1/2 hours. I asked them if I had to turn everything off what was use of having all this on the phone - and the rep told me to get an after market type charger so I could charge phone during the day. By the way Apple Care did not recommend cycling the battery but I did that anyway - no help. I think Apple knows this is a huge issue and expects people to just like it. Our iphone 4 works all day with all of the above on. Nice phone if only you could use it with all its features for more than 1/2 day.
Got up at 06.00 this morning 4S 64G showing 100% battery it's now 10.09 and my phone is showing just 56%!! I'm at work so I've only used it moderately. My last phone was a 28 month old 3GS 16G with original battery and the battery level is what I would have expected with my old phone!!
what was the point of that comment? troll.
Have both data and locations turned off, display at half brightness and don't use Siri or talk to text, but have to charge 4s everyday. I hardly even use it!
I bought two IPhone4s's, one for myself and one for my son. Both phones while everything is turned off(no bluetooth, no wifi, no apps, running etc....) looses 1% per hour.... Returned them both to Apple today. One now gets great battery life the other is just as bad. Clearly there is something wrong with a subset of the manufacturing batch..... After speaking with the apple rep (which apparently is mathematically challenged and can't figure out that 1% per hour = 100 hours of life).... eventually did give us two new phone.
I see a recall or patch in apple's future.
My 4S battery life started out much worse than the 4 (third of the time) so I let the battery of down below 20% charged it up to 100% then did a factory wipe and restore from backup using iTunes. Now it is just as good as the 4 and in some ways better. I suspect the way the phones had IOS5 applied at the factory may be the issue and as there are two manufacturing sites maybe what they did was slightly different. Anyway very pleased now to get the same sort of life from a machine with a dramatically faster processor and 4 times the memory of my old iPhone 4. Yipee !
At first my iPhone 4s 32GB battery sucked, I couldnt get through the day without charging it at least 2-3times. But I tried all the tricks that I did with the 4 and still not much difference. I started to play around with it he other day and found the most helpful thing. TURN OFF THE STOCK WIDGET! And the weather one if you feel like it will help you more. I've been off the charger since 630am and it's now 1030am and I'm down 5%. So far I've made 2-10minute phone calls and sent/receieved 100+text messages. It really does make a difference

Make sure all apps are off! I notice some apps not completely shutting Down and it was draining my 4s awful! So I went into usage and noticed that I had 9 hours usage and 9 hours standby so I knew something was draining it! My battery was draining 20% every 4 hours, and I was very upset. Now I made sure today that all apps were shutting off, and I have 15 hours standby time 1 hour of usage and my battery is @ 82%. No complaints anymore. Love my iPhone 4s now. Those of you that aren't sure how to check running apps.... Just hit the home button twice and apps will appear at the bottom of the screen. Hold your finger on the apps and wait till a red dot appears and tap on it and shut the app down. Just do this until you figure out which app is draining your battery! Hope this helps!!
This is my first iPhone (the 4S), so I don't have much to compare it with. But the battery life is slightly underwhelming.
I have been having lots of drainage problems with my new phone 4s... but there are a few tips to help save the battery life http://bluewheelmedia.com/save-iphone-4-4s-battery-life
I thought that my iphone 4 battery life was far better than my iPhone 3 GS. but find that my iPhone 4 s is worse than my iphone 4 and closer to my 3 GS. I have had iPhones since day 1 and take all of the same measures to reduce battery consumption. My thought is that the duo processor and and IOS 5 are using up more power.
I've noticed my battery started to suck when I turned "push" on. With that on was the first time my battery didn't make it all day . Testing from full batt tomorrow to see if that is the Batt killer
With my Palm Centro I had two backup batteries that I could pop after a few days when the juice ran low. With the iPhone 4S I have to make sure I put it on the charger every frickin' day or it just becomes an expensive pocketweight. I've turned off half the great new features that brought me to the iPhone in the first place just so I might squeeze a few more hours of life out of the non-user serviceable battery. All this and I pay Sprint $10 more a month for what has become slower 3G service.
Hey Apple and Sprint! Ever heard of load testing?!?!?!
Took my 4s off the charger at 7am.. worked all day so it was on standby, aside from checking the time a few times.. by 3pm it was down to 13%... and thats with all my notifications turned off, wifi turned off, location services turned off, and nothing running in the background.. this is my first iphone, before this i had a blackberry torch.. my torch would last a solid 2-3 days of heavy use without charging it... i got the iphone for siri, but if apple doesn't do something soon i'm going back to blackberry for the battery life
I am a developer and all I can say is that iPhone 4S is really an amazing phone. Owning such a phone is really a great stuff and you get a lot of amazing features. The battery has a longer span compared to other phones I have tried.

_id and MongoId can be a source of problems that can make what would seem a trivial operation potentially complicated.
MongoId is not as predictable or safe as mysql's auto increment (an example that most PHP developers will be familiar with). _id is generated by the client rather than the server and so does not guarantee that it will be collision free.
By comparison, server side auto_increment mechanisms that PHP programmers might typically be used to wont collide until every single id had been used and with 64bits you can ensure this will almost never happen. You will also know when your table is getting full, and you can predict the rate. Most importantly, no matter the mechanism, being server side guarantees two clients wont collide. Mongo's behaviour is different to this.
Generally speaking inserting without specifying _id will tend to work, but there are some cases where is can fail or is particularly prone to failure.
The total size I believe is 96 bits. This might seem like a lot but the value is not created randomly. It is generated like this:
$unixtime . $machine_id . $pid . $counter
The counter starts from zero and is attached to each instance of MongoClient thus two MongoClient connections to the same server will almost certainly not work (produce a collision):
$m=new MongoWrapper();
$m=new MongoWrapper();
If MongoWrapper is not using a singleton for the connection or something to the same effect, the second call will most likely have the same unixtime. It will certainly have the same machine_id, pid and counter. The insert will fail.
If you are not using a singleton, this will work:
$m=new MongoWrapper();
You may also have difficulties in a multiple machine environment.
machine_id is a hash of gethostname. This is not guaranteed to be unique across machines. Some people do not set hostnames at all. If you do not ensure that your machines all have unique hostnames then if in the same second, two machines run a script that inserts, the second will have a 1 in 2^15 chance of colliding (assuming the most common PID max). Depending on how the system handles pids, the probability may actually be a little less. In short, make sure any host accessing your mongodb has a hostname that is unique among any other host accessing your mongodb.
I've seen some specs specify that counter should start from a random value but I highly recommend against this as it merely hides/obscures the problem.

Editor's Note: This is the second part of a two-part series on the upcoming national fiscal year.
Tuesday marks the start to the national fiscal year and brings with it local concerns. While the state fiscal year begins in July, federal funding and cuts could impact the local cities and county.
"We get $1.6 million from the Department of Energy that goes toward the county and the schools," said Aiken County Administrator Clay Killian. "In addition, the Savannah River Site is a huge economic driver. So any more cuts from the Site would definitely have a trickle-down effect and impact the county."
Todd Glover, city administrator for North Augusta, agreed.
"Federal funding does play a large role in the local economy with SRS and Fort Gordon," he said, "Also, cuts in the local government funded by the state over the last few years have negatively affected our budget."
The state fiscal year began with 500 layoffs from the MOX project at the Savannah River Site, followed by 465 layoffs from Savannah River Remediation, the Site's liquid waste contractor. The former is estimated to cut $42 million from the local payroll, according to a study done by the SRS Community Reuse Organization.
Despite that, the Economic Development Partnership is working to reverse that deficit and bring more jobs to the area.
"The goal of the Economic Development Partnership is to raise the per capita income, diversify the labor force and increase the tax base of Aiken and Edgefield County," said Will Williams, director of the partnership. "Our area has always been well-positioned for new growth. We have a very strong infrastructure base that includes available water and sewer capacity, great utility providers and rail service to many of our industrial sites."
Moving forward, Aiken is finishing up the construction of its first Sam's Club and also has various other projects in the works throughout the city. North Augusta is expecting the completion of a second Wal-mart and has high hopes for Project Jackson, which is a major economic development project proposed for North Augusta's waterfront.
"Competition for corporate capital projects within our local industry is extremely competitive," said Williams. "That leads to job creation and more money spent in our community."
Glover added, "As staff has prepared the Fiscal Year 2014 budget, very encouraging signs of an improving economy have begun to emerge. Our staff is very optimistic that 2014 could be one of the best years in recent memory."
Derrek Asberry is a beat reporter with the Aiken Standard news team and joined the paper in June.

Dairy Free Probiotics
4 comments:
- Katy said...
That is one of the most frustrating aspects of eating without certain things in our foods. We have learned over the years that "non" or "free" can actually meanm, "has just a little". Really? Then say, "lite" on your box instead of "non" or "free". I wish companies would fully disclose this type of information as many of us get very sick due to their, well I will just call it what it is, lying. I get the FDA guidelines. Hey, FDA, make them be totally free of a food if they are going to call it such.Print this post
OK, rant over. Thank you for the product recommend. I am going to check out our current probiotic today.

Purchase individual storage
If you run out of storage space, Google offers you the opportunity to purchase additional storage. The extra storage is available for Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos.
Unlimited storage is included in Google Apps Unlimited and Google Apps for Education. The following information does not apply to Google Apps Unlimited or Google Apps for Education.
See Buy storage when you're ready to purchase more storage space. Keep in mind:
- The extra storage is only available to you. You can't share it with other users or transfer it to another account. You can't purchase storage for other users.
- Data in the extra storage is subject to the same ownership policy as the rest of your account. Google does not own your data. When your organization gave you a Google Apps account, it did so with a particular agreement about whether the data in your account belongs to the organization or to you. (Each organization's policy is different.) Whatever policy is in place for your account applies equally to data in the extra storage.
- The administrator for your organization has the option to prevent you from purchasing or renewing extra storage, or to prevent you from using Google Drive, Gmail, or Google+ Photos. These actions could prevent you from taking full advantage of the extra storage. Google storage purchases are non-refundable even under these circumstances. You can purchase additional storage only when your administrator enables the User Managed Storage service for the organization you belong to.
After your storage expires or you cancel the subscription, your storage limits are set back to the standard levels. All of your existing data, such as photos, mail, and uploaded files, remain accessible, but you won't be able to add anything new for any product over the storage limit.
It's normal to experience a delay of up to 24 hours before purchased storage is added to your account. See our storage troubleshooting steps for more information.

There is a additionnals catogories fonction in Pligg. Nonetheless, with the Rss import module, we can't choice multiple catogories for a rss feed.
In Pligg, additionnals categories are stored in another table than category.
I'm sure it's will be very simple to add that fonctionnality. But I'm not really a PHP pro, so, I can't find where in files where I can add support for multiple categories.
Is someone can help me ? Even if it is just an indication ?
Thank you
PS : Sorry for my bad English, I'm French ! :(

Brew a Perfect Cup
Ideally warm the pot first with a splash of hot water. Use one teabag per cup and always use freshly drawn and boiled water. Allow to brew for 3-5 minutes according to taste. Can be drunk with or without milk.
At last, a decent tasting decaf tea - thank you :-)
Great taste, I love it!
I have tried many decaffeinated teas to get the right one and this the best I have tasted so dont change the best brew yet.Dave Ridley East Sussex.
It does not taste like usual decaffeinated teas... very good!
Most decaffeinated teas are pretty insipid compared to their caffein-rich cousins. Not this one. It has a wonderfully strong taste and is the most caffein-like tea that I've tasted. This is the best!
