Reservations and Reserves
Ashley Shealy is accepting reservations for library instruction sessions for fall 2013. Additionally, if you need to book the Reference Computer Commons for student research, reservations are available. Contact her at email@example.com or ext. 8099.
Certain that your students will need to access specific materials to complete their research? CourseReserves are always an option. Alison Simpson is accepting materials for fall 2013 Course Reserves now. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com or ext. 8093.
Each semester, authorization must be given before any Student/Student Assistant may request EKS Library services that will incur Departmental Charges. Please provide authorization (email, phone call, or written notice) to Alison Simpson at email@example.com or ext.8093. Faculty, Staff, and approved Students may charge Scantron forms, laminating, binding and other Library services to theirDepartment(s) for billing. Students must present WU ID when requesting Departmental services. Per the Business Office, the service of copying may no longer be billed to Departments. All copies are to be made with WU ID.
Course Reserves at the Ethel K. Smith Library
Need something on reserve at the Library? Finding it is as easy as 1-2-3!
- Click on Course Reserves on the Library homepage and search by professor or course.
- Write down the call number for the item you need, bring it to the Circulation Desk, and we will retrieve it for you. Course Reserves are for in-building use only with a checkout time limit of three hours.
- Or click on the blue title hyperlink to see if your item is available online as an E-reserve. If you see "Linked Resources: E-reserve. Log in as ACAD\[username]" listed in the item record, simply click on the login hyperlink to access the article online! Just remember to type ACAD\ before your Wingate Network userid.
Got questions? Stop by in person, Ask Ethel, or call the Reference Desk at 704-233-8097. It's a Great Day at the Ethel K.!
MyGateApps and Copyright for Faculty
While the Library Staff is excited about all the possibilities afforded with the implementation of the MyGateApps system, we do have one specific concern regarding copyright compliance as it applies to journal articles and other online content.
Just as with Course Reserves/E-Reserves through the Library, the same article/item cannot be placed on MyGateApps more than one semester without the copyright holder's written permission. Also, if the EKS Library has online access to the article it cannot be placed on Reserve and should not be placed on MyGateApps. In this instance, please share the citation or link with your students so they can retrieve the item using the Library's online databases or from the Internet.
If you do choose to upload course materials to the Documents or Sites section of MyGateApps, please adhere to the following three guidelines in order to comply with copyright:
How long can each item remain on MyGateApps?
One semester only without seeking the copyright holder's written permission
With whom can I share these items?
Only students enrolled in the class may have access to the items
How do I ensure access to the item is password-protected?
When you send invitations to your students to view the item(s), be sure to invite them "To view" and not "To edit" the item. Also, please make sure that the note "Sign-in is required to view this item" appears at the bottom of the "People with access" tab on the Sharing screen.
If you have questions regarding this information, please contact Amee Odom at 8096.
Course Reserves
A memo concerning Course Reserve and copies of Course Reserve Forms has been emailed to each Faculty member and Department Secretaries. The title of each form should explain its use and the information required for each type of reserve. I have already received several reserve requests and appreciate the pre-planning of those Faculty members. Please keep in mind the following when planning and/ or assigning Course Reserves:
1/ An appropriate Course Reserve form is necessary for all reserves.
If the items are in the EKS Main Circulating Collection they need to be retrieved from the stacks and presented at the same time as the form. If the items are DVD's or items housed in the "cage", call numbers need to be listed prior to submitting request. If the items are articles or copies of less than 80% of a book, one hard copy will be placed on reserve at the Circulation Desk and the document will be placed on e-reserve. In order for your students to retrieve e-reserves for your class, a class roster must be submitted with the reserve items. E-reserves can be accessed and printed from a student's room, home, or anywhere an Internet connection is available. The class roster allows restricted access to those currently enrolled in the class. Students will need to know their username and password.
Personal copies may be placed on reserve with the appropriate completed form.
2/ A period of 24 hours is required for processing before an item can be available for student check out.
Please do not present reserve items on the same day that you require students to access the materials.
If there are any questions con-cerning the Course Reserve process, please feel free to con¬tact Luanne Barbee at 8093 or lbarbee@wingate. edu.
What is a Reserve and Where do I Find Them?
A Course Reserve item is an item that a Faculty member has placed on reserve for a specific class and period of time. These items will be returned to the circulating collection at the end of the reserve period. They are intended for use with a specific class and course of study during a semester period. Course Reserves can only be used while a patron is present in the Library building. These items require a Wingate University ID card to be checked out and must be used only within Library areas, this does not include the Ethel K. Cafe.
A Permanent Reserve item is an item that is "permanently" located on the reserve item shelf. These are items that have been identified as items that are not necessarily a Reference item, but an item that is useful for research. These include Masterplots, Literary Criticism, and other useful research items. Permanent Reserves can only be used while a patron is present in the Library building. Again, these items also require a WU ID card to be checked out and must be used only within Library areas, this does not include the Ethel K. Cafe.
When looking through the Library Catalog, these items will be listed as being located at Closed Reserves. To use a Closed Reserve, you will need to obtain the call number and present this information along with your WU ID card at the Circulation Desk where a friendly Library Assistant or staff member will be glad to help you.
The Ease of E-Reserves
The Library staff would like to ask Faculty to remind their students of the extensive and easy access of items placed on E-reserve. All articles that are requested for reserves are available via E-reserve to students registered for the class from any computer.
Students can read or print an E-reserve in their room, at home, or in the Bridges Lab. Students will need their username and password to access these reserves, but most importantly, they will need to type "ACAD\" as the domain in front of their username or in the domain field to access these files. A hard copy of the reserve item is also held at the Library's Circulation Desk should students prefer to photocopy pages. However, as with all Library transactions, students must have their Wingate University ID card to use reserve items. With the addition of smart classrooms on campus, Faculty members might consider taking a few minutes to access the Library homepage and show their students how to locate an E-reserve during class.
For Faculty members with access to a scanner, Moodle is an option for posting journal articles and the like. Faculty members who do so are responsible for copyright compliance and librarians cannot scan articles.
For E-reserve questions, please contact Luanne Barbee, ext. 8093 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Things to Do When the Library is Closed
It's true that—all things being equal—we would all like to see the library doors open whenever someone needed what the Ethel K. has to offer. All things are not equal. Even so, over the past few years the library has been able to offer a number of services to the Wingate University community at or near a 24/7 basis.
So, for everyone whose academic life revolves around the library, here are a few of things you can do when all is still within the library walls.
- Look up and read articles and books from NC-LIVE. NC-LIVE@Home provides full text journal articles and books online. That's right; books are also available from NCLIVE. Check out the link to net Library on the Library's NCLIVE page (http://library.wingate.edu/nclive/nclive.html). That comes to over 20,000 full-text book titles. If those are not enough books, you can also go to World Cat in NC-LIVE to select from tens of millions of books. See http://library.wingate.edu/news/EKS_Libris/EKSLibris0305.pdf and http://library.wingate.edu/news/EKS_Libris/EKSLibris0401.pdf for more details.
- Submit inter-library loan requests. Found a book or article you need that is not full text? Check out http://library.wingate.edu/reference/illform.html and submit a request online.
- Look up and read e-reserves. As long as you remember to append ACAD\to your username (e.g.,ACAD\stu), you are able to read reserve material that has been placed online. There's more on this at http://library.wingate.edu/news/EKS_Libris/EKSLibris0502.pdf.
- Look up books for the next day. One can use the online catalog directly from the library homepage (http://library.wingate.edu) and it is available all day save for the hours of 4:00 to 6:00 a.m. (when the database is backed up).
- While you are in the online catalog, you can also see whether any books are about due and renew them. Click on the button on the online catalog. Hints: the barcode is your student ID and the PIN is 00000 (you can change the PIN later). Read the books you checked out and the articles you already copied when the library was open.
This is not an exhaustive list and there is more that the library staff hopes to offer, but even so, the above could fill many an evening or early morning.

E-Reserves Revisited
by Jimm Wetherbee
Although e-reserves has been with us for two years now, it is a resounding—albeit evolving—success. It allows students and their instructors access to material placed on closed reserve at any time and any place. The fact that students do exactly that can be seen from logs that the web server generates. There are some things to keep in mind, however.
The library still maintains a hard copy of an e-reserve item behind the Circulation Desk. This allows students who do not wish to print an e-reserve or read it off a computer screen to access the material. This also means that e-reserves are treated like any other reserve item, going first to Luanne Barbee before being placed on the web server. E-reserves are also stored in PDF format and require the Adobe Acrobat Reader to be viewed. The Reader can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html and plugs into any web browser.
What is different this year is that copyright rules require that electronic reserve items be available only to those students and instructors of the class that they were assigned. This has meant that access to the documents had to be tied to one's Wingate University network username. The network username requirement further restricts students as to what browser they can use. Those browsers are: Internet Explorer 5.0 or better, Mozilla 1.5 or better or Foxfire 0.9. The username requirement also means that one's password (which expires every 180 days) must be current. The best test is to log onto a computer in one of the labs or the DPC. If a student cannot log-in there, he or she will not be able to access e-reserves. A final note is that using the network log-in requires that users enter the Domain. In most browsers this is integrated with the username, so that one would log-in as ACAD\username. In older versions of Internet Explorer, you will see a third line that is used to enter the domain (again ACAD).
Thank you for making e-reserves a continued success.
Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful, heartwarming and soul renewing holiday. The beginning of a new semester means new Class Reserve items, new Room reservations, and new equipment reservations. All Fall 2002 reserve items have been pulled, removed as reserves and returned to their appropriate owner or location. Now we get to start new. I have already received many items that have been placed on reserve, but wanted to remind others that Closed Reserve items are accepted throughout the semester as needed. The normal time required to have an item placed on reserve is 24 hours. A listing of all items on reserve by professor and/or class is easily available through the Library website under "Course Reserves". Please remind students that they will need to know the call number of any reserve item they intend to use and that use of reserves is limited to inside the Library building.
Reservations for Library rooms and equipment are growing daily. Please call Luanne Barbee (8093), Josh Suggs (8101) or Jimm Wetherbee (8092) to reserve the AV Auditorium, Library Lab, CMC, LCDs, Laptop computers, Overhead projectors, etc.
Hope to see you soon!

Every summer for three weeks I go to sleep away camp at Eagles Nest. And every year I take gardening. One of my favorite things to do when we go on field trips is going to the farmer's market and visiting all of the farmers we have become friends with over the years. We buy things and go back to camp and make a yummy meal. I love how good the food tastes because it is fresh and from nearby. Food can't get better than this.

theozed Great hostel. One of my Favorites! Very clean, relaxed place. Asakusa is a really nice area to stay in too. Also, I have to say the staff were great. I was staying here when the earthquake hit and they were really helpful to everyone in quite a stressful time.

dunkelbo Toco Tokyo was amazing! It is located in this beautiful old building with a great Japanese garden. While I was there the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful whether I had a question about a good place to eat or how to get around. The room itself was a nice air-conditioned group room that had comfortable beds. The morning I checked out the staff checked to make sure I knew where to go and was very hospitable. I plan to stay again next time I am in Tokyo.

jhat This hostel was one of the nicest I've ever stayed in! It was clean (especially for Japan), cozy, had nice showers and beds, was conveniently located next to two train stations, cheap, air-conditioned, friendly staff and free wireless internet. I wanted to stay more nights but the place was completely booked up! I highly recommend K's House!
shalicka There Is amazing place. The very cozy hotel. Stuff are helpful, kind and friendly. Thanks a lot Shimpei (I hope I wrote rightly)) When I search a hotel in first time I used a description. It was very easy. A room is comfortable. There was all I need. I will be recommended this place my friends.
Nihonbashi Yokohamacho 5-13 Chuo-kuExcellent 91%
manue.botte STOP LOOKING! This is an amazing backpacker! We were one couple and 2 friends, we had 2 bunk bed bedrooms. They're small rooms but for the price that doesn't matter. The bathrooms and rooms were super clean, new sheets, etc...they can sell you towels, by the way. The lounge is the best asset of this place. We could only stay for one night because of availability but we came back the second night just for a drink, just to enjoy the place! They have free wifi and it works perfectly. They're super friendly, they all speak English. You can get food at the bar for a reasonable price - not cheap but not too expensive. It's a chill out, relaxed atmosphere, they play great music in the background and all the wood in the decor makes it really warm and cosy. We loved it! If I was living in Tokyo, it'd be my headquarter...actually, even if you don't want to stay for the night, just pop up for a drink, it's such a cool place. One only thing to keep in mind: there's no kitchen, so you can't cook your own food.
Create your own travel plan including Tokyo as one of your stops. You can use it to store all your research (even hotels found on other websites!)
Do you have questions about Tokyo? You might try asking in our active travel forums and see if anyone else has been there.
Keep your family and friends up to date with your trip by starting your own travel blog!

This is a fork of "official" PDCurses with display done through Windows GDI instead of the console. This lets us escape the limitations of the console, so that we can implement essentially everything specified in Curses.
This screen shot shows some of the things this flavor of PDCurses can do, such as display of bold, italic, underlined, overlined, dimmed, 'strikeout', blinking text, full RGB colors, display of the full range of Unicode, a range of blinking cursor styles and blinking text, and fullwidth and and combined characters. All of this is backward-compatible to the original PDCurses specification.
Last updated 2016 Jan 19
Important note: The latest version of the source code for this project is now available on GitHub, and I've put in a pull request to have it merged into the "official" version of PDCurses, which recently (early 2016) moved to GitHub. So with luck, this page will become of historical interest only. The version on GitHub also has a few tweaks added since the 2015 August 27 version posted on this page, almost all involving getting the X11 flavor of PDCurses to have the capabilities of the Win32a flavor (with still more X11 improvements thanks to Mark Hessling).
PDCurses currently comes in several flavors: DOS, Win32 console, XCurses, OS/2, and SDL. These each have merits and demerits, but none actually implements all PDCurses capabilities. For example, only XCurses and SDL allow for underlined and left/right lined text. Most versions don't implement italic or blinking text, and "bold" text usually just means "brighter color" text. The machines may support lots of colors, but PDCurses usually supports 16 or 8. Mouse wheel events and double-clicks aren't always handled. I wanted a full-capability, no-compromises version of PDCurses.
One possibility would have been to modify the SDL version. That would have made some sense; I'd have had to add bold and italic fonts, blinking text, and revised it to support 256 colors (now full RGB). It would give me a cross-platform solution (though since Win32a works perfectly with Wine, it really is cross-platform). However, I thought it wouldn't take too long to make a for-real Windows version. Silly me! Also, SDL had a huge drawback from my point of view: lack of Unicode support. Getting it to support wide characters would be possible, but it would also be a huge deal. So I never really gave it much consideration.
Anyway... it does look as if this flavor of PDCurses now supports absolutely everything known to Curses, even nearly useless features such as triple mouse clicks. All display attributes work, and all mouse and keyboard events are detected. The window can be resized, programmatically or by the user (*), and fonts and font sizes can be chosen. The user can click and drag a rectangle or paragraph and have it copied to the clipboard, and/or paste from the clipboard to the input stream.
I have made some extensions to PDCurses, but backward compatibility has been key. None of the original features of PDCurses has been broken. You should be able to compile your legacy PDCurses apps with this new library, and all should work Just Fine.
This flavor is currently known as Win32a, just to distinguish it from the "real", console-based Win32 version. The name is unfortunate. This flavor uses the Win32 API, but it can be compiled and run in 64 bits. It has been suggested that it should be renamed to "WinGDI or "GDICurses"; I may do that.
Some of the Win32a features now exist in the X11 flavor: overlined, struck-out, dimmed, italic, and bold text; 256 colors and color pairs, as well as full RGB; triple mouse clicks; and more. (Programmatic resizing and blinking text, Unicode past 64K, and combining characters remain to be done, at least as of January 2016.) When I started work on Win32a, I was predominantly a Windows programmer. I've since shifted to doing almost all my work on Linux, and would like to have the same capabilities in the X11 flavor as in the Win32a flavor.
Like the rest of PDCurses, Win32a is in the public domain. I hope to get it merged as a flavor of PDCurses. I've e-mailed the maintainers of PDCurses, and put in a pull request, but haven't heard back. The "mainstream" PDCurses project appears to be mostly inactive; I have doubts this will ever join "mainstream" PDCurses.
"Public domain" does mean that you can do whatever you want with the code; you don't need to release your changes, for example. However, I do appreciate any bug reports, fixes, suggestions for improvements, etc. You can contact me.
Important note: This is no longer the most current version. Click here for info about the most current source code, now on GitHub.
Click here to download the (no longer most current) source code (about 497 KBytes). Make a folder such as c:\pdcurses and and unZIP the source into it. You should then be able to change to the c:\pdcurses\win32a folder and compile it, using the various make files for MinGW, Visual C/C++, or OpenWATCOM (or possibly the others; those are the three compilers I've used.)
I have maintained the basic form of the standard PDCurses distribution. The file/directory layout is almost identical, except with a Win32a folder and Win32 (console), X11, SDL1, and DOS folders (no FlexOS or OS/2 as yet). The Win32a folder is new, of course. The other files are either exact copies of those supplied with standard PDCurses, or incorporate small changes required to get things working with Win32a (but which do not "break" the other flavors of PDCurses.) The pdcurses folder has a file, diff.txt, which explains what got changed in existing files and why.
I was providing a DLL for a while, and one could swap it in for an existing PDCurses DLL so that current PDCurses apps (if linked to a DLL) would suddenly become Win32a ones. Unfortunately, when I extended Win32a to support five-button mice, it made it impossible to do this sort of swapping. The addition of tilt-wheel mouse support further breaks binary compatibility (though it's all still compatible if you have source code and can recompile.)
This is being provided as part of Win32a, but can be applied to any flavor of PDCurses, including the FlexOS and OS/2 ones (I've not been able to test those, though). In fact, you could download standard PDCurses and simply replace the slk.c file provided in that distribution with the one provided in this distribution, and you'd have the new SLK features described below.
Soft Label Keys (SLKs) are shown at the bottom of the screen shot at the top of this page: they provide a simple way to make sure that there are a few buttons, which can be user-labelled, at the bottom of the window. A line or two has to be sacrificed to accommodate them. Click on the buttons, and it's as if you hit a function key.
In current PDCurses, you can have only certain configurations of buttons: "3-2-3" format (three buttons on the left and right sides and two in the middle), "4-4" format (four on each side), "4-4-4", "5-5", and "4-4-4 with index", in which above each button is a label giving the corresponding function key. You can't get any other format, nor can you change formats in mid-program.
The revised slk.c in Win32a fixes both limitations. As is described in the code itself, you can get essentially any label layout you want. (This actually resulted in somewhat simpler code. The original version treated each layout as a special case, without recognizing that they could be handled in a common manner.) I also found that by adding a couple of lines of code, I was able to allow changes in format in mid-program; see newtest.c (part of the Win32a source code) for an example. You do still have to set up soft label keys before the window is initialized. Turning SLKs on (or off) after the window was created would mean adding (or removing) lines from the main window, and I've not seen a good way to do that.
Changes (2016 January 19):
• Moved to GitHub: As described above, the most current version of the source is now at GitHub. I've put in a request to have it pulled in to the 'official' PDCurses source; I don't know if it will actually go through (nothing appears to be happening, and it may be that the 'official' fork is essentially dead.)
Fixes (2015 August 27):
• "Fallback font" capability: Most popular fonts don't support anywhere near the full range of Unicode characters, resulting in some text appearing as question marks or blanks or squares with hexadecimal digits in them. To get around this, some applications use a fallback font. For Win32a, that fallback font is GNU Unifont. Install GNU Unifont on your system, and the question marks/blanks/squares will be replaced with a passable glyph.
For example, in the screenshot at the top of the page, most of the text is drawn using the Ubuntu Mono font (I created that screenshot running newtest on Wine). But Ubuntu Mono didn't have combining characters or fullwidth forms; that issue was detected, and those characters were drawn using GNU Unifont. Note that if you don't have GNU Unifont installed, Win32a will have no way of drawing those glyphs, and you're still stuck with question marks and such for unsupported characters.
• GDI resource leak fixed: If text was under/over/left/right-lined, or was struck out, the GDI "pen" created for that line wasn't freed. Each time that text was redrawn, another GDI pen was allocated. This did not appear to be a problem under Microsoft Windows, which apparently allows for plenty of pens. But in Wine, if you ran (for example) newtest, which has lots of lined text, and made the window smaller or larger enough times, you could run out of GDI resources and crash. This has been fixed.
• SLK (Soft-Label Keys) fix: The display of Soft Label Keys turned out to have a defect: if the label was initially created with insufficient space, so that its display on-screen was truncated, it would stay that way even if you resized the window to make it wide enough to accommodate more characters. This is fixed, and as a bonus, the code is a little simpler than it previously was. (As with other SLK fixes, this applies to all flavors of PDCurses, not just the Win32a flavor.)
Fixes (2015 May 31):
• Intel® compiler make file: Arlen B. Taylor has kindly contributed iccwin32.mak, a makefile for the Intel® C compiler. It turns out that this can be done by starting with the makefile for MS Visual Studio, vcwin32.mak, and replacing cl.exe and link.exe with icl.exe and xilink.exe.
• Inclusion of DOS, Win32 console, SDL, and X11 flavors: I've hopes of getting this "fork" of PDCurses re-integrated with mainline PDCurses. There is no theoretical problem with this, since there's nothing in this flavor that would conflict with the original PDCurses (backward compatibility has been carefully maintained). It turned out that no major changes were required to get the other flavors to be compatible with Win32a. I was unable to test the OS/2 or FlexOS flavors. I am pretty confident they will work; aside from testing that out, I think re-integration of Win32a with mainline PDCurses can go forward.
The benefits to the other flavors are, at least at present, not all that great. All the other flavors get the SLK (Soft Label Key) extensions. X11 and SDL now have the A_OVERLINE and A_STRIKEOUT attributes, just like Win32a. I think both could have full RGB support, but some greater revisions would be required; both are currently limited to 256 colors (you get some odd colors if you attempt to use full RGB). With minor changes, I got SDL to use all of them (which would have been perfectly possible all along, had anyone bothered). X11 is still limited to 16 colors; fixing this will require somebody who knows more about X11 than I do.
In the future, SDL and X11 could support cursor styles, "real" blinking text, full RGB, and probably more. All versions could support double and triple mouse clicks, though I'm not sure they can all support extra mouse buttons. Most could support extra key hits.
At that point, we hit SDL's greatest weakness (the big reason I've avoided its use): it supports only legacy 8-bit encoding. No concept of Unicode or wide characters in general. But in fact, this could be worked around. SDL draws its characters from a .bmp file, currently hardwired to be 16 characters across and 8 high; but it could support, say, a bitmap 16 characters wide and 69632 (=hex 11000) characters high to display all of Unicode. At the very least, if it supported bitmaps 16 characters wide and a hundred high, it would get most European languages.
Neither SDL nor X11 support italic or bold fonts at present, but again, this could be fixed (in the case of SDL, we'd need the "basic" vanilla .bmp, plus one for italic, and one for bold, and one for bold italic.)
Fixes (2015 March 26):
• Fullwidth and combining-character forms: Win32a now supports fullwidth forms and combining characters. You can click here to see what they look like. Fullwidth forms are common in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) computing: characters that occupy what would "normally" be considered to be two spaces. (From their viewpoint, "fullwidth" is normal, and it's Latin characters that are considered to be "halfwidth"; see the linked article.)
Essentially, this just means that if you ask Win32a to display a fullwidth character, it will be shown correctly, and the cursor will advance two character cells instead of one. That way, the next character displayed won't simply wipe out the right half of the character you previously added.
Combining characters allow one to a variety of accents and diacritical marks to other characters. You can, of course, already show (for example) a lowercase 'o' with a circumflex: ô has Unicode point U+00F4. But combining characters allow one to add a circumflex to any character, by adding the combining mark U+0302. One can even then add multiple marks; for example, 'z' followed by U+302 followed by U+317 would be a 'z' with circumflex and an acute accent below : ẑ̗ .
This can be useful both for internationalization and in the display of certain mathematical formulae. For example, the ability to put carets over letters to indicate unit vectors, or arrows to indicate vector quantities, or dots/double-dots to indicate first/second derivatives, can be helpful: p̂, r⃗, Ẋ, z̈ .
Examples of both fulltext display and combining characters are given in the newtest program. Examining newtest.c should make it clear how to use these. But be warned that font support for these wonders appears to be quite sketchy. To be reasonably confident of getting such characters, you will probably have to install GNU Unifont, which will then be used as a fallback font for any otherwise unsupported characters.
Fixes (2015 January 22):
• Unicode input by numeric codes: Darrin Wolf asked about the possibility of being able to hold down Alt and press, say, "99" or "378" on the numeric keypad to get Unicode 99 (c) or 378 (ź). Similarly, one should be able to hit Alt-+ (numeric keypad '+'), and while holding down the Alt key, enter a hexadecimal value. (For hex entry, the digits can come from either the numeric keypad or the regular keyboard.) Win32a now supports this.
• OpenWATCOM fixes: Jens Staal pointed out some fixes needed for a Linux port of the OpenWATCOM compiler, mostly involving issues such as the path separator being '/' instead of '\', and command-line switches being '-' instead of '/'.
• 64-bit compiles: Elias Hogstvedt pointed out that if you want to compile Win32a in 64 bits, you just need to modify vcwin32.mak to replace the line /MACHINE:IX86 to read /MACHINE:X64. I added a comment to this effect in the makefile.
• Alignment issue fixed: Amanieu d'Antras pointed out that if you compile Win32a using MinGW, there's a possible alignment issue: MinGW expects the stack to be aligned to 16 bytes when you enter a function, but Windows only guarantees a four-byte alignment. It's not usually an issue (this is the first time I've ever heard of it), because MinGW is bright enough to handle it in most cases. But for a callback function, it can be a problem... which is why WndProc( ) in pdcscrn.c now has an ALIGN_STACK attribute.
Fixes (2014 March 1):
• Wide-character input: Florian Große-Coosmann pointed out several problems in the way Win32a (and other flavors of PDCurses) handle wide input. In particular, there was a problem because the KEY_ codes ran from 256 (hex 100) to 520 (hex 388). If you use a Russian or Romanian layout (and some others), then your input in those languages could be falsely labelled as "special" keys such as function keys. Florian suggested that this could be fixed by having the KEY_ codes run from 0xEC00 to 0xED88. That puts them in the Unicode 'private use' area, which means they should never correspond to "real" characters.
Update: when I mentioned this about a year later on the PDCurses mailing list, William McBrine pointed out a much better solution. If you use get_wch( ), the return value will be KEY_CODE_YES if it's actually a key code, or OK if it's a for-real Unicode value. This has the virtue of working not just with PDCurses, but with ncurses as well. So while Win32a does now put KEY_ codes in an otherwise unused range, and you can use this safely with Win32a only, I would still recommend relying on the more portable get_wch( ) solution; it may spare you a nasty surprise should you ever port your code to use ncurses.
Note that this was only a problem in the 'wide' versions of PDCurses (since you can't get "normal" keycodes past 255 in non-wide versions anyway). Thus, it could affect not only Win32a, but the console Win32 and X11 flavors of PDCurses. (OS/2, DOS, and SDL don't support wide-character versions of PDCurses.)
Also, because it's not an issue with non-wide PDCurses, I left the KEY_ codes unchanged in 8-bit (non-wide) PDCurses; they still start at 256 in that case. This may save somebody from some weird backward-compatibility issue (say, if they hardcoded the KEY_ values... I suppose if you did something that foolish, you probably deserve to have Bad Things happen to your program, though!)
Also, be warned: Unicode means somebody might enter characters with values greater than KEY_MAX in the 'wide' flavors of PDCurses. If your code does something such as if( key < KEY_MIN) { process as if it's an ordinary key }, you may run into trouble. (Though for many languages, you'll never reach that high a Unicode value.) It's best to use the has_key( ) function, which basically just checks that KEY_MIN <= key <= KEY_MAX.
• Cross-compiling from Linux: I revised mingwin32.mak to allow one to use MinGW on Linux to cross-compile this library. To do so, you need to add the argument _linux=1 to the make command line. The one oddity here is that the MinGW executable can have any of four different names, depending on whether the host is 32 or 64-bit and whether the target is 32 or 64-bit. I've set it up for my own 64-bit Linux box building 32-bit Windows code, resulting in my setting PREFIX = x86_64-w64-mingw32-. You may have to revise this; I don't think you'll have to change anything else. (If running MinGW on a for-real Windows machine, you won't have to do anything at all; it will work as before.)
Fixes (2013 Nov 22):
• Fix to window resizing: Amanieu d'Antras pointed out that in Vista and later forks of Windows, a Win32a window could "collapse" because of the code I used to determine the difference between the client rectangle and the full application window rectangle. He supplied a patch that uses the Win32 API AdjustWindowRect function, which both removes the bug and makes the code a lot easier to follow and less kludgey, all at the same time. Definitely a welcome contribution.
• Fix to double/triple mouse clicks: I realized that the code to determine whether a mouse click was single, double, or triple was flawed: I was getting double and triple clicks in situations where I had waited several seconds since clicking the mouse. This turned out to be due to my use of the clock( ) function, which apparently measures the process time, not the "wall clock" time (the time you'd see elapse if you looked at a clock on a wall). So you might think several seconds had elapsed between two clicks, but your application would only have been busy for a few milliseconds between the clicks and would decide you'd double-clicked. The fix, again, was to use a suitable Win32 API function that gets "wall clock" time (the sort of time a clock on a wall would show); for details, check the milliseconds_since_1970( ) function in pdcscrn.c.
• A_DIM attribute now works: When using 64-bit chtypes, one can now set the A_DIM attribute type, and the text will actually be dimmed. (With 16 or 32-bit chtypes, and on all other flavors of PDCurses, A_DIM is defined to be equal to A_NORMAL.) The use of this attribute is demonstrated in newtest.c.
Fixes (2013 Oct 17):
• Fix for crashes with shrinking windows: A bug and its fix, applying to all flavors of PDCurses, was posted on the PDCurses mailing list. Essentially, you could conceivably get crashes if a window was shrunk and the cursor ended up outside the new window. The new version incorporates the fix.
• Support for the really full range of Unicode: I originally set up 64-bit chtypes so that they could contain Unicode values up to twenty bits. This seemed absurd overkill. However, the upper range of Unicode is 0x10ffff, so that 21 bits really should be allowed. Fortunately, I was able to do that with only a couple of lines revised. Unfortunately, it does mean that the attribute bits are shifted up by one; you'll have to recompile everything to use the current version. (Note that this applies only to the 64-bit flavor of Win32a. That's the default, though, and I'd bet few people are using 32-bit or 16-bit chtypes these days.)
Note that getting such characters to appear is a little difficult; few fonts support anything beyond the "Basic Multilingual Plane" (BMP) characters, going up to U+FFFF. I tried revising testcurs.c to display the character U+1D11E, which should correspond to the musical symbol G clef... which may or may not show up correctly in your browser: 𝄞 I have been able to get this to display in testcurs in Windows 8, using a 'Musica' font that had that particular symbol.
• In investigating the above problem, I realized that Windows uses UTF-16, in which wchar_t is sixteen bits and Unicode characters beyond U+FFFF are displayed using "surrogate characters". Some revision to pdcdisp.c enabled this feature.
Fixes (2013 July 5):
• Win32a stored information about font choice and window sizing/placement in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Mark Hessling pointed out that, while this works under WinXP and previous forks of Windows, it fails on Windows 7 (or any Windows with UAC). In that situation, you need administrative rights to change that part of the registry.
The fix was to instead store the font and window sizing/placement information under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Two lines of code were suitably changed.
Fixes (2013 Jun 26):
• Mark Hessling spotted some errors in wide-character support in Win32a and in the handling of SLKs (soft-label keys) and supplied bug fixes. He also noticed that if you use 64-bit chtypes with the Win32 console or DOS flavors of PDCurses, things broke rather badly. It turned out that I had to slightly modify three source files for the Win32 console flavor and one for the DOS flavor; these are now included in the download.
To test out the SLK changes, I had to modify newtest to allow for a feature to toggle display of SLKs. (When you turn them off, the SLK area goes blank and stays blank; you don't suddenly get one or two more lines to play with.)
Fixes (2013 Jan 26):
• The 'enlarge font' and 'shrink font' options are now missing from the menu, and a new 'Font' option has been added. Click on this, and you can choose the font used in the window (size and type). You can also hit Ctrl-Comma to access this dialog.
Note that while you can now select any font you want, not all fonts will work equally well. The display is fixed-pitch; non-proportional fonts will usually look pretty weird. Not all fonts support the box-and-lines type alternative characters. I originally chose Courier New because it supports absolutely everything, including non-Latin alphabets. Still, for a lot of purposes, you'll find that other fonts work Just Fine.
• Jason Foley pointed out that Win32a didn't register most Ctrl-Shift key combinations as events, and didn't recognize Ctrl-Alt anything. I was able to fix the former easily enough. The latter is a stickier wicket, now described in comments in pdcscrn.c. Basically, some keyboards consider Ctrl-Alt to be a modifier to get characters not otherwise available. For example, on a Swedish keyboard, Shift-2 gets a " (double quote) mark, and Ctrl-Alt-2 gets a @. We really should, when using a Swedish layout, return a key for Ctrl-Alt-1, but not for Ctrl-Alt-2; Windows will "convert" that into an at-sign, and we'd feed two characters to the user.
At least for the nonce, therefore, Win32a still doesn't return Ctrl-Alt combinations, unless one sets the new external variable PDC_show_ctrl_alts to a non-zero value.
Fixes (2012 Nov 10):
• Roald Ribe pointed out that the most recent version failed when run in Windows 7. I borrowed a Win7 machine and replicated the failure. It turned out that the window style used for non-resizable windows was wrong. This is now fixed. I also rearranged the newtest demo program's screen (as shown in the image at the top of this page) so that it would be useable in the default 25-line/80-column mode.
Fixes (2012 Oct 31 and 2012 Oct 18):
• Xavier Wang found and fixed bugs occurring when apps didn't handle user resizing messages. This is quite common, because only the X11, Win32a, and SDL platforms support user resizing at all. When apps written for the DOS, OS/2 or Windows versions are linked to Win32a and the user changes the window size, you could get garbage on the screen, or crashes. Xavier fixed this.
Thinking about this caused me to change the behavior of Win32a. There is no way for Win32a to know in advance if an application has been written to handle user resizing correctly. So Win32a now defaults to non-user-resizable windows, with two ways to get resizable windows.
You can, before calling initscr( ) or Xinitscr( ), signal to Win32a that the window can be resized from 20 to 55 lines, and 70 to 100 columns, by calling
PDC_set_resize_limits( 20, 55, 70, 100);
The above has only one slight flaw: the PDC_set_resize_limits( ) function exists, at present, only in Win32a. If you try to use it with other flavors of PDCurses, you'll get unresolved external function errors. Eventually, the function may exist in other flavors; in X11 and SDL, it could actually be "functional" (other flavors of PDCurses don't support resizing, so this would be a do-nothing function for them.)
Alternatively, you can (again, before calling initscr( ) or Xinitscr( )) set the following:
ttytype[0] = 20; /* Window must have at least 20 lines in Win32a */
ttytype[1] = 55; /* Window can have a max of 55 lines in Win32a */
ttytype[2] = 70; /* Window must have at least 70 columns in Win32a */
ttytype[3] = (unsigned char)200; /* Window can have a max of 200 columns in Win32a */
...which won't cause trouble with other flavors (they'll just ignore it), but which is inelegant and limits you to 255x255 windows. Though arguably, 255x255 windows should be big enough for anyone.
My thanks to Anatoly Techtonik for pointing out some problems in my original version of this feature.
• Xavier also pointed out that the window didn't capture mouse events. You could get strange behavior if you clicked within the Win32a window, dragged the mouse, and released the button somewhere outside the window. A few calls to SetCapture( ) and ReleaseCapture( ) fixed this.
Fixes (2012 Jun 11):
• Roald Ribe provided a patch that made the WndProc( ) function in pdcdisp.c considerably cleaner. That function had become too large to be easily managed; the new arrangement is a little easier to follow.
• As is shown in the screen shot at the top of this page, one can get text to appear with any desired foreground and background colors; you aren't limited to the 256-color palette. You can just specify a foreground RGB and a background RGB for each character. For an example of how this is done, see newtest.c. Note that this works only when using 64-bit chtypes.
• I found that if you maximized a Win32a window, exited, and restarted the program, it would hang. Also, attempting to check for a key press wouldn't necessarily work, now that we aren't multi-threading: PDC_check_key( ) must explicitly check for new messages sent to the PDCurses window, in order to make sure that all keyboard events have been processed. Both bugs are now fixed.
Fixes (2012 Jun 2) :
• Previously, the window had been handled in a separate thread. This made the code somewhat more complicated than it had to be. More seriously, there were issues caused by the lack of re-entrancy in PDCurses. It was at least theoretically possible to have the window thread and the "main" outside-the-window-thread accessing variables simultaneously. A mutex helped to avoid this problem, sort of, but it wasn't a perfect fix. However, Roald Ribe figured out a nice way to avoid the need to multi-thread. The code is much saner and safer as a result.
• Roald also pointed out that a lot of code uses Xinitscr( ) when compiled for XCurses and initscr( ) otherwise. There is no good need for this. On non-XCurses platforms, initscr( ) simply calls Xinitscr( 0, NULL), and the argc and argv parameters are then ignored. So Xinitscr( ) is now enabled for all platforms. Use of it is actually a Good Thing; it makes it slightly more likely that the correct command line arguments will get to the library, which can then use them for setting the window title and getting the previous window state from the Registry.
• Roald also pointed
out that it would be nice to be able to select in
"paragraph style" instead of the default "block style". So you could
mark things like
<- From here, keep marking text until it wrap
s around, then keep on marking some more lines to b
e copied to clipboard until you've had enough, right
...i.e., the way things usually get marked in most word processors. This is now enabled. Drag with the left mouse button pressed, and a paragraph will be highlighted and copied to the Windows clipboard when you let go of the button. (Hold down Shift when you press that mouse button, and you can get the previous block-marking and copying behavior.)
• Roald also provided some fixes to OpenWATCOM compilation to get proper symbols in the debugger and smooth out a few problems with that compiler.
• I made some changes in curses.h so that, when using 64-bit chtypes, one can specify Unicode characters up to 20 bits. Almost all "normal" Unicode characters fit within 16 bits -- hence the widespread use of UTF-16 -- but if you look at the Unicode code charts, you'll see that, for example, (Cretan) Linear B, Old Italic, Phaistos Disc, Shavian, Phoenician, and so on require a seventeenth bit. It does appear as if Unicode can require 21 bits, if one makes use of the "Private Use Area". But 20 bits appears to be overkill for all practical purposes. I also extended the color field within chtype to consume 31 bits. See newtest.c for an example of the use of this (or look at the screen shot at the top of this page). Basically, five bits each specify the foreground and background R, G, and B, plus one more "signal" bit to indicate that the color is to be treated in this manner, instead of as an index within a palette... that brings us up to 31 bits.
This color specification system could also apply to the SDL and XCurses flavors of PDCurses.

Fixes (2010 Mar 30) :
• In the input test part of 'testcurs', mouse move events are reported if a button is pressed. Looking at the definition of ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS in curses.h, this makes sense; all bits are set, except for the REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION button. I turned that one on, too, thinking it would cause 'testcurs' to report all mouse movement, whether buttons were pressed or not. That doesn't happen, with either the SDL or "standard" Win32 libraries. This is possibly a matter of my not understanding how PDCurses is supposed to work.
• The extent of font support leaves something to be desired. Most fonts implement European language support, maybe a few symbols, and not much else. The Win32a flavor now implements a 'fallback font' capability, meaning that if a font lacks a particular glyph, we try to fill it in from GNU Unifont, which provides excellent support for almost all glyphs. GNU Unifont doesn't provide bold or italic characters, though, and only looks good at the 12-point size. Also, while it can support even the Supplemental Multilingual Planes (Unicode characters past U+0xFFFF), the Win32 API can only tell you which glyphs exist in the Basic Multilingual Plane. So I don't have a way of saying: "Does character U+0x1FFDC exist in the current font? If not, fall back on Unicode."
The default Courier New font always works for Latin characters and a good bit beyond that. You can choose other fonts, but they may have shortcomings. You can use Lucida, Verdana, Courier, and other fixed-size fonts if you wish; you'll just find that italic and/or bold text may not work. (Sometimes, choosing a larger font size fixes this, but not always.)
• There is no "bidi" (bidirectional) support for languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, etc.
When using 64-bit chtypes, Unicode characters in the "supplementary multilingual planes" (SMP), i.e., those with values beyond 64K, are supported if the font has them; most have sketchy support at best. testcurs should show a musical clef sign, 𝄞 U+1D11E, as part of the 'ACS (alternate character set) test', but your mileage may vary. For most existing applications, much of this won't matter; other flavors of PDCurses didn't support those things anyway. You can use Times or other proportional fonts, though you may find that the result looks a little weird.
• Menu options to print the current screen, and/or save it as an HTML file, could be useful. Neither would be difficult to do. PostScript output would be nearly trivial (mostly because I already know a lot about PS). The functions for PS and HTML export would even be platform-independent. PDF would be a little tougher. One could just use ps2pdf, but I'd rather avoid the dependency. (Note: see scr2html.c for (mostly) working code to dump a screen to HTML.)
• A fix for SDL: in the course of testing PDC_set_line_color, I noticed that it only 'sort of' works in SDL: it'll change the line color for subsequently drawn lines. If you run newtest with the SDL library, for example, when you click to change the line color, nothing happens. But resize the window (triggering a redraw), and hey presto, the lines are redrawn in the correct color.
• A conversation with Mark Hessling caused me to realize that being able to configure the menu programmatically could be helpful, and might not even be all that tough to do.
• Mark also pointed out that some sort of drag-and-drop functionality could be useful. He's currently doing this when in the Win32 console flavor of PDCurses, but in Win32a, you don't have the same direct access to the window. Doing this would require some relatively simple extensions to PDCurses, which would realistically speaking probably only occur in Win32a; the other flavors are not under much active development.
• There are currently 32 ACS_ alternate character set #defines in curses.h. As best I can tell, there's nothing preventing us from having up to 128 such. It would be nice, in my humble opinion, if the double-line variants of the box characters ACS_RTEE and such were supported; perhaps also ACS_CHECKMARK, perhaps some of the block/half-block characters... If one did this, would there be backward-compatibility issues? (I see none.) As best I can tell, only the behaviour of those 32 ACS items is specified; we're still free to play around with anything else. (I've added some possible #defines to pdcwin.h to illustrate. Note that these appear to be available on all other flavors of PDCurses as well.)
• At present, all flavors of PDCurses support one display window, called stdscr. At least in theory, it would be possible for Win32a (and X11 and SDL) to support multiple display windows. That'd be really nifty (and useful), but probably more effort than I'll go to unless I can get somebody to pay me to do it, which seems rather unlikely. It would involve a new 'switch stdscr' function, which would have to store all the many static/external variables associated with the current stdscr, then create a new one; or, restore all the static/external variables. Plus some other annoying bits and pieces.
• A full-screen option might be useful. This would basically enlarge the window so that the borders and menu and such were just outside the actual screen (something I've done with the astronomy software that is my "day job", so I'm familiar with the process.) One problem with this would be situations where the result would have too many rows or columns. One can set limits on how many rows/columns can be created; i.e., set things so the user can't drag a window open to more than 50 rows or 140 columns. I suppose a workaround might be to say: "Full-screen mode has resulted in too many rows or columns; increment the font size until you reach a level where everything fits."
• If you drag open an area with the left mouse button pressed, it marks that area and then copies it to the clipboard when you release the mouse button. To me, this makes a certain amount of intuitive sense. Almost all the time, if you drag open an area on-screen in a PDCurses window, you're doing it to copy it to the clipboard. It may be useful to provide a menu option to disable mark/copy, for those probably very few apps wherein one might drag the mouse for another reason.
• There are two menu options at present: select the font, and paste from the clipboard. (With this last, if you've text in the clipboard, it's fed through getch( ) to your program.) These probably should be icons rather than text. Both functions are available via Ctrl-Comma and Ctrl-V respectively.
• Mice are almost totally supported (five buttons, and up to triple clicks.) For the wheel, we really ought to be keeping track of total wheel motion, which isn't necessarily an integral number of wheel clicks. Vista, in particular, added support for continuously varying wheels:
The issues described therein, of the need to accumulate mouse motion, are handled properly in the code now; 'wheel up' and 'wheel down' messages are generated as needed, after the mouse has moved far enough. But there's no way to signal "mouse wheel moved just a little bit".
• This version supports COLORS=256 and COLOR_PAIRS=256. Compile with the testcurs that's part of the win32a.zip file, and go to Color Test, and you'll see this demonstrated. Or you can see it in the Newtest demo at the top of this page. This also shows how, when using 64-bit chtypes, one can get full RGB coloring.
• Italic, reverse, and under/left/right-lined text has been added, as has blinking, using timer events to trigger a reversal in color. (Compile and link the testcurs included with the win32a.zip file, and look at the 'color test' portion, and you should see all attribute combinations.) Those are all the attributes we can probably get with a 32-bit chtype. With a 64-bit chtype, one can also get strike-out text and full RGB coloring. All of this is backward compatible (always a key consideration with PDCurses).
With the 64-bit chtype flavor, we could set A_INVIS to some different value. I assume its purpose would be that if you set that attribute, the text disappears (i.e., that character cell is just filled with the background color).
• Currently, key_modifiers includes Alt, Shift, Control, and Numlock. Why not Capslock and Scroll lock?
• I don't really like the way key modifiers are handled (using GetAsyncKey). The code I wrote does work, but if, for some reason, there's a significant delay between the key being hit and the WM_KEYDOWN message getting to WndProc, the user may no longer be pressing the Ctrl or Shift key, and those modifiers will have been lost. I've not actually seen that happen, and it seems unlikely. But it seems as if in theory, it ought to be possible. Proper fixing of this, though, would require having a queue of mouse events, and I think might break existing Curses programs that assume no queue. Or maybe it's assumed that the program checks for input on a frequent basis.
• I've tested this (to varying degrees) with Visual C, OpenWATCOM, Digital Mars, and MinGW. I've used that last directly on Windows and cross-compiling from Linux.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Tastes good
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer3026634 on Sep 04, 2009
I like the taste of this product. I haven't yet noticed my hair getting thicker but I also believe you need to be consistant when taking this product and I haven't. I make my shake 2-3 times a week if that. I also worry about getting too many vitamins since I take other supplements and a multi-vitamin daily. So when I feel my body is lacking vitamins or I need an extra boost, this shake more than satisfy's the need. You won't be disappointed.
Love this - good for hair, nails and brain

The New York Times ran an article maybe 5 years ago about the cell division of a fetus. There are only two types of cells, at least at first: cells that become bone and muscle and cells that become hair, nails, and brain. So, I take Ultra Hair Thick shake for my hair, nails and brain. It tastes great and I have almost no grey hair at age 59.

great tasting product whether mixed with milk or any fruit juices - mixes easy and best in a sports-drink bottle with a wide opening so you can shake it up; will continue to use product; works good with "Nature's Plus, Ultra Hair, For Men and Women, 90 Tablets".

ReviewsBoardman Mountain Bike Team Full Suspension 650B 2014 22 22exception value In the world of big names and big prices to get a bike thats rides as well as a bike priced at least 4 times more is exceptional, specially as named brands can only offer a lowend. Hardtail for this amount of money, best bit it falls into the cycle to work scheme perfectly. 16 October 2014Top bike We brought this bike as Boardman is a good make, this bike however is totally better then expected. Total all rounder. No complaints at all 16 September 2014over spec'd under priced, just how it should be have had this bike for around 8 weeks now and loved every min of it. had the creaking noise after the 3rd ride and narrowed it down to the rear pivot on the cassette side of the bike, its just the paint surfaces rubbing together, easily sorted with a bit of thick grease. saddle hurt for 3-4 rides but now i dont notice it atall. the tyres dont look like much but they grip plenty enough for me. all in id say this bike is worth alot more than the price tag and if u get it through the cycle2work then ur laughing. 10 September 2014Bargain full susser Excellent full suspension mtb at a bargain price. Ride fantastically and has a good solid frame with some good components. A bike of this quality from another brand would cost several hundred pounds more. Has a few cheap components but these can be replaced easily as they wear out. Highly recommended 04 September 2014Trail Slayer Picked this up (built) from Lanark Halfords, the guys at the bikehut did an amazing job of turning the order round so quick. It's already done 140km in 2 weeks and hasn't missed a beat. My only complaint is the tyres aren't UK mud friendly. When its dry though or at a trail centre the bike is as fast as and capable as bike more than double the price. Can climb and descend. What more do you need. 13 August 2014650b tastic Added this to the garage with a C2W voucher and then took it on a trip to the Alps. It handled the alps well enough for a xc bike on dh terrain. The componentry is also top end for the bikes price range IMO. Overall happy with the bike but the main problem is the quality of the staffs knowledge and ability. I had to spend several hours tinkering with the bike once I got it home as even though I asked for it in the box when I arrived to collect the bike it had been built and even worse was on show, this is even after they phoned me after I reserved it online and checked I didn't want them to build it! that was a waste of time ringing me.. In addition the Lyric forks are leaking so I am having to top it up every 4 or 5 hours and will be taking it back when I get back next week for them to fix it. 06 August 2014Fs team 2014 18" Got this bike on a Friday and was back on a Tuesday rear brake sticking hard,front forks when compressed a knocking noise,loud squeaking like a bad bed on a long weekend,coming from the bottom end of bike when climbing hills.They replaced the bike with same and this one is starting to squeak after 1 ride 25km but everything else is fine will ride it till 6 week check see does it go away other than that had great fun on down hill track great handling effortless over rocks jumps and climbs well,brakes worked well and I'm 161/2 stone,gears 2 up front work great for me only for the squeak great bike. 21 June 2014Fantastic value for money. This really is a well specced bike for the money. Wasn't sure what I'd make of the 650B wheel size but it's a joy to ride and no problems over the tricky bits. It looks the business too with a lovely neat frame a nice paint job. Only problem I've had is the incredibly uncomfortable saddle but that may just be me and my riding style. Bought a Selle Royal Respiro Athletic saddle to replace the boardman and now have a fantastic bike. 17 June 2014

I have actual. It was a weird day...
Yep its anoying lolz
MAn, even though Im seeing this again, I still think Jordan looks younger in this video.
Actually yes, its happened O_O
It's happened to me too....
I fell of the chair after it... And looked at the blanket I had over me and it was on the floor... I was stunned at the time but... No reason to be stunned about A blanket on the floor XD
Yup. Especially when my sister smacks me with a crowbar that happens to give me the irresistible urge to dance...
lol. Good one!
yeah i remember this mod *do the harlem shake*
Haha You can't make me harlem shake XD
Yeah... I'm still slightly sick.

I realize that the audible range of the human ear is roughly 60 - 20k Hz. Within this spectrum, what ranges of frequencies is classified as low, mid-range, and high? I need to know approximately what the accepted ranges are in order to design my filters accordingly. If there really is not a set standard I suppose I could always improvise. Thanks

Great art!
Congratulations for the DD
Its a very nice work!
love the piece! simple but great lighting and composition!
Congrats on the DD! It's well-deserved. Keep doin' the ADADs -they're really inspiring.
nice work!
Is it just me, or is it the first thing that pops into my head is Star Wars?
probably just you
but i guess you're right, there's some similarities there
i first thought it looked like the game Journey
That's fantastic!
Amazing~~ Looks like Journey the game
Flagged as Spam
I must say, I love the style!!!!!
Wonderful job! Congrats on the DD!
Congratulations on the Daily Deviation
looks like journey! i like it !
I really like the style you used here.
(And I know someone down there has already mentioned "Journey," but that's one of the first things I thought of when I saw the thumbnail. ^_^)
thank you! that's interesting, because now that i've googled it, i realize that i have seen the character of the game before somewhere, but i've never actually played the game itself
this is absolutely beautiful!
Fantastic as always Congratulations on DD!
Fantastic composition!

After being on the run for three weeks, John McAfee was arrested on Wednesday by Guatemalan police, who said they would seek to expel the antivirus founder to Belize.
Imagine if you woke up tomorrow and every online store and brick-and-mortar retail shop was barred from selling Samsung Galaxy S III and Apple iPhone 5 devices. Do you turn to the Galaxy Note as well? That's barred too. In fact, you can't even buy a Jelly Bean device in this made-up scenario, because it infringes on Apple's patents.
Unlike in the US, Apple was handed a resounding defeat during its legal truffle with Samsung in the UK. Unfortunately for Apple however, the judge did a bit more than throw the case out. Judge Robin Jacob ordered the company to publically apologize to Samsung on the front page of its website, and gave them a tight timeline to comply. How did Apple respond?
A U.K. judge took a verbal bite out of Apple for a court-ordered statement that appeared on its overseas website. In a previous ruling in the U.K. -- one that was held up in appeal -- Apple was ordered to take out newspaper ads and post a month-long message on its website clarifying that Samsung didn't infringe on any of its patents.
Kristy Ross, suspected ringleader of a "scareware" scam that tricked over a million consumers into buying software to remove malware detected by fake antivirus scans, has been ordered to pay more than $163 million in damages, the Federal Trade Commission announced. The court also permanently barred Ms.
Just because Apple scored a sweeping victory against Samsung in its patent trial in the U.S., which led to the nine panel jury awarding the Cupertino company more than a billion dollars in damages, it doesn't mean the whole matter of Android versus iOS is settled. Far from it, in fact. Days before the verdict was reached, Google's recently acquired Motorola Mobility division filed a patent suit of its own against Apple, one in which it will try to ban Apple imports in the U.S.
The high profile trial between Apple and Samsung in the U.S. has yet to be decided, but in a South Korean court, a three-judge panel ruled that both firms are infringing on each other. Both were awarded damages, and hit with with sales bans to infringing smartphones and tablets, although not any of the newer devices, including the iPhone 4S, iPad, or Samsung Galaxy S III.
U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh can hardly contain her frustration with Apple and Samsung over their court room shenanigans, first by snapping at the latter for leaking disallowed evidence to the public, and now to the former for submitting a long witness list. Koh suggested Apple's attorneys were "smoking crack" if they thought they could summon nearly two dozen rebuttal witnesses in the waning hours of litigation.
Privacy advocates aren't going to like this one, but a 2-1 ruling in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has given law enforcement officials the legal right to track suspects by cell phone in real-time without first obtaining a warrant. The ruling revolves around a case in which Melvin Skinner, a convicted drug trafficker, sought to have his charges dismissed on the basis that his arrest ran afoul of the Fourth Amendment.
It's another day, and the way things have been going lately, that usually means another development in the patent trial between Apple and Samsung. Today is no exception, though if the presiding judge gets her wish, all this nonsense will come to an end, and not by way of a jury verdict. Instead, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh urged both companies to get on the horn one more time to see if they can come up with a settlement agreement.
Through what's been a highly publicized legal battle between Apple and Samsung over design patents, it recently came to light that all this courtroom drama could have been avoided if Samsung agreed to license technologies from its rival and pay a royalty of $30 per phone and $40 per tablet.
The soap opera style saga between Apple and Samsung has already seen more than its fair share of drama, from Samsung leaking disallowed evidence to the public to the revelation that Apple once considered its enemy a "strategic partner," offering to license key patents at a discounted
The Apple vs. Samsung saga has been unfolding at a rapid pace over the last few weeks, and several new developments about what went on behind the scenes is starting to emerge.
Research In Motion (RIM) managed to escape from having to pay a hefty patent infringement fine when the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California overturned an earlier verdict that would have had the company pay $147.2 million in damages to Mformation, a software company that deals with mobile device management. According to the presiding judge, there wasn't enough evidence to support the jury's findings of patent infringement.

How swiftly Alex Rodriguez's legacy changed, from potential greatest home run hitter ever to tainted slugger in one headline: A-Fraud.
You know the story by now. Rodriguez, according to Sports Illustrated's SI.com website, allegedly tested positive for two steroids in 2003 during survey testing that was supposed to be anonymous. The government seized those results as part of its BALCO investigation, leaving Rodriguez vulnerable to Saturday's leaked information.
The government's inability to protect this information is disturbing. As with Barry Bonds, the government is better at humiliating players than winning court cases against them. Rodriguez's union failed him. The feds nailed him.
Which leaves the obvious question: Where does A-Rod go from here? Saturday's news ends any trust in his numbers. If the test results are true, and there's no reason to think otherwise, there's only one option: Come clean.
This strategy has never been employed by a player of Rodriguez's stature. The poster boys of the Steroid Era — Bonds and Roger Clemens — denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs even as evidence mounted against them. (Pete Rose, an A-Rod confidant, tried a similarly futile tact regarding his gambling.
The price of denial for Bonds and Clemens? Nobody believes them, and their Hall of Fame chances have vanished. Remember, Mark McGwire has garnered less than a quarter of the vote in two years on the ballot, and he has never been linked to a positive test.
There is an important distinction to be made between Rodriguez and his notorious Steroid Era contemporaries. His career is nowhere near its expiration date. That's why, as difficult as an apology would be, it makes sense.
Any admission, though, could forever lock him out of Coopers- town. Don't think that's not weighing on Rodriguez's mind as he mulls his options.
But going with a no comment, misremembering or a no hablo inglès defense has been proved in- effective. And it is not realistic for Rodriguez. Not with eight years left on his contract. Not as a member of the New York Yankees, the center of the baseball universe.
He can't hide on a golf course with McGwire or Clemens or behind the black windows of an SUV with Bonds.
Rodriguez has to confront this. If he tells the truth, then enjoys another productive decade, there will be a measure of forgiveness, if not by baseball writers, then fans. He would be 10 years removed from a positive test, allowing all of us better context and a broader prism through which to view an era littered with cheaters.
If this were Derek Jeter, it's fair to assume he would be welcomed back into our arms. Rodriguez, however, is a polarizing force, leaving no guarantee his mea culpa would be embraced.
Rodriguez has long reeked of insincerity, considered too corporate, too polished, and as players readily admit off the record, too selfish.
What would be fascinating, perhaps even endearing, is an explanation of why he did it. By 2003, Rodriguez was already compiling a Hall of Fame resume even if he never hit 500 home runs. Was it jealousy from watching those inflated sluggers around him, or his competitive desire outweighing common sense?
In principle, Rodriguez being exposed is unfair, smacking of someone with an agenda or a vendetta. But the toothpaste isn't going back into the tube. Rodriguez will forever be linked to steroids.
The truth can make him a compassionate figure, even if he's never a Hall of Famer.
