Felicia D. Henderson has a long history in storytelling as a writer on such hit TV shows as âFringe,â âGossip Girlâ and âThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.â
Not one to ease into something new, Hendersonâs first major project in comics is coming on board as the new ongoing writer of âTeen Titans,â beginning with the super-sized #75 in September.
Henderson, who confirmed for CBR News that she has left âFringeâ to pursue this and other projects, is thrilled to be writing one of DC Comicsâ flagship titles. In her first comics-related interview, Henderson also shared her love for core members of the team, why she can relate to Static, and how stalking a well-known DC executive helped get her a dream job.
CBR: What can you tell us about the story youâre going to tell in your first arc of âTeen Titans?â Whoâs the villain? Who are the key players?
FELICIA D. HENDERSON: What can I tell you? Well, not much because itâs changing even as Iâm writing it and Iâm writing it now. In fact, I should be writing now instead of talking to you. I have to go.
Joking, of course. Letâs see. In the first arc some characters will come, other characters will go, a villain will go on a terror that will wreak havoc on our team. Yes, I know Iâm âQueen of Vague.â
What about the team itself? The cover of your first issue features Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Bombshell, Static, Miss Martian and Aquagirl. Will this be your lineup moving forward?
Some characters will come, other will go, a villain will go on a terror, blah, blah, blah. What I can tell you is that this is absolutely the line up for issues #75 and #76. Sorta.
Share a few thoughts about what you love about each of the members, or what youâre learning to love about them as your sink your teeth into this project.
What I love about the characters has as much to do with them as pieces of a whole as it does about them individually. In other words, each of them represents an opportunity to tell great stories by exploiting the complimentary attributes of each, good and bad.
I love Bombshell because she still feels like an outsider who has the ability to mix it up, and because some problems and like yours truly, sheâs got attitude issues.
I love Wonder Girl because she has no idea how amazing she is and therefore is having this crisis of confidence, but still has to lead and make decisions that will change the team forever.
I have a soft spot for Blue Beetle because he comes from a background that made him have to be tough to survive way before he had to be tough to fight crime. Iâm really looking forward to re-examining who he is and the challenges and pain, literally, of living in his skin.
Static is special because heâs the male version of me â Pasadena, California as my Dakota. I was this kid growing up, except for the whole big bang explosion-turns-you-into-a-super-hero-ability-to-harness-electromagnetism part.
Aqua Girl and Miss Martian are also cool because they represent some additional serious girl power. And present opportunities for romance not with each other, of course.
Is it difficult finding âscreen timeâ for all the Teen Titans?
Not really. My television experience has almost always been writing for all types of ensembles, so itâs what I do best. That doesnât mean that everyone gets equal screen in each story. In my opinion, thatâs when stories can get into trouble, trying to service every character equally in every issue means that no one gets serviced adequately in any issue. You have to spread the main stories around the characters and issues. One issue or a several issue arc might have a strong Wonder Girl and Bombshell story with a supporting story for another character, etc., etc. Then, in future episodes or issues, you move on to other characters and give them their moment/arc to shine.
What do you think of the art by Joe Bennett and Jack Jadson? Have you even seen any pages yet?
I am like a kid waiting for Christmas morning and it just canât get here fast enough. I still canât believe that Iâm involved in this, canât wait for the art, in particular. To be penciled and inked by Joe and Jack is pretty much heaven. I love the âTeen Titansâ art so much, to be able to work with artists whose work you already admire, it doesnât get any better than that.
How did you coming on board as the new writer for âTeen Titansâ come about? Were you already in discussions with DC about possible projects? Did they reach out to you?
I guess itâs better that I say it than someone say it about me, so here it is â Iâm a stalker. I first met [DC Executive Editor] Dan DiDio about three years ago. He was going to be in Los Angeles and my former manager set me up with a meeting with him. I really wanted to write comic books. Dan graciously offered that weâd find something to work on together. I then graciously stalked him until that happened. I emailed or called him every couple of months for about three years. Finally, he called me to say he was going to be in L.A. and we should meet. We met, I begged, the rest is history.
Are you a long-time fan of the âTeen Titansâ and comics in general?
I am a long time comic book fan. I was a sickly child, which meant lots of time on the Asthma inhaler and lots of time in the house while my brothers and sisters played outside. So I created my own alternate universe and comic books helped me do that. My sisters were reading Archies and I was reading âBatmanâ and coming up with ways the villains could take out my younger brother. Yes, I was dark even at ten years old.
Getting a chance to write âTeen Titansâ is so cool because it combines my strengths in writing teens, my love of comics, my science background, and my sci-fi sensibilities. And Iâve always loved the idea of creating stories about where this realm meets the spiritual/mystical one. In other words, Iâm in heaven.
Have you signed on for an unlimited run or do you know your end date?
It all happened so fast and with little time to think about or talk about it much. So I donât know how long my run will be. As long as DCâs happy and Iâm having fun, Iâll probably be around â unless you know something I donât know.
You also have this other gig as a staff writer on âFringe.â Do you have any worries coming in on balancing both assignments?
I know it will disappoint you immensely, but I donât have that âotherâ gig any more. I love and admire the creative forces behind âFringe,â but Iâm also anxious to create my own shows again. Itâs hard to do that when youâre working on such an intense show. Iâm also about to direct a play that I wrote, I teach in the film school at UCLA, and am working on finishing my PhD, so I kind of have my hands full.
On the television/movie front, Iâm developing a couple of new television series ideas and one of them is based on a DC book. Thatâs all I can say about it for now. Iâm also developing a feature film based on âGirl Genius,â an independent comic that I love and canât wait to turn into a movie.
What are the major differences between writing for comics and television? âTeen Titansâ is your first comic assignment, correct?
The biggest difference between the two is that you can rely on dialogue in television and you have to rely on visual story telling in comics. In that way, comics are more like film, even more like silent film, which I love.
Also, because Iâm so committed to doing a great job, the process is all-consuming for me now. Every page, every panel, every word of dialogue takes me forever because I take way too long to commit. This is my first full-length issue. To get my feet wet, I did a 10-page âCitizen Steelâ story for the upcoming âJustice Society of America Annualâ and that took me forever, too. But with âTeen Titans,â Iâm on a serious time crunch so I wonât have the luxury of contemplating everything for so long.
Another difference is the intensity of weekly deadlines in television. You know you have to have an episode ready to go every week no matter what and that can be stressful, as well. Both mediums are very collaborative but the way the collaboration works is a little different. Breaking stories in a writersâ room surrounded by fellow writers means that television writing is never a lonely job. Also, thereâs no better place to be than with other writers. I love the process.
In my limited experience in comics, sure, you interact with your editors, but overall youâre on your own, just you and your laptop, hoping that your story is good, excited about it, yet dreading turning it in because you havenât had the benefit of other writers tearing it apart. I mean other writersâ constructive input. Again, comics are kind of like feature films in that way.
You worked last season on a very dominant female character on âFringeâ in Olivia Dunham, played brilliantly by Anna Torv. Does she share any similarities with Cassie Sandsmark?
I never wouldâve thought about how these two characters are alike, but now that you mention it, I realize how much they have in common. As I said earlier, Wonder Girl suffers from questioning her ability to lead. In some ways, Olivia Dunham has the same struggle. Both women are used to being the smartest one in the room and fighting how her gender could compromise her mission. Both women also have parental, lineage issues that contribute to the constant struggle to figure out where they fit in and how their pasts contributed to who they are today â two somewhat troubled super, amazing women searching to find themselves while doing the right thing at any cost.
Will you be tying-in to âAdventure Comicsâ at all what with the return of Superboy?
No. Unless Dan reads this interview, thinks itâs a good idea and sends one of those 3:00AM emails informing me about the new tie-in with âAdventure Comicsâ that Iâm doing.
Thanks for this Felicia and again, welcome to comics.
Thanks so much for your time, Jeff. Itâs cool doing my very first comics-related interview with you.
The super-sized, 40-page âTeen Titansâ #75 written by Felicia D. Henderson with a âRavagerâco-feature written by Sean McKeever comes to comic stores September 30 from DC Comics.

Hey again,
The shortcode will not show more than 5 links when specifying a category, but seems to work when all links are used.
In specifying a category I've left off the count parameter as developed by the puzzle button to show all the links in that category, but only 5 will appear.
Also tried
[simple-links count="11" orderby="name" title="Links Grand Canyon" category="Grand Canyon Links" separator="<br>"]
Still only 5 links show.
you can see the lists all here working:
and here for the five links:
Looks like it's only counting 5 links when it gathers the data for a specific category.

First off, I'm not sure I'm asking this on the right site. Please let me know if my understanding is drastically wrong.
Concept 1: Computing largely consists of shifting around "one dimensional" streams of data and modifying/combining them in various ways. Sort of.
Concept 2: It is possible to design circuitry, using memristors/material implication, wherein logic and storage can both be implemented at once on the same circuitry via reconfigurable FPGA-like hardware. I'll call this a universal chip.
Concept 3: Hardware can be implemented to a purpose without classical "software;" i.e., a program can be implemented physically as hardwired circuits without the need for moving "one-dimensional" streams of code into and out of a cpu to be processed. I think this is called an ASIC.
Question: What is the term for implementing "programs" as Hardware Description Language files which, once downloaded from the internet/etc onto such a universal chip, would act as an ASIC, giving the raw speed of a custom-built chip with the flexibility of a piece of software? For example, this universal logic/storage chip would act as a "motherboard," to which all contained files and programs would be daughterboards.
This would simplify the hardware aspect: all interconnects would be realized as physical "software", reconfigurable and unconstrained by standards or formfactor. Also, assuming this chip to be the whole of the computer, this would create boundless programming oppourtunities: imagine being unconstrained by the data-stream model, instead being able to program in two or possibly three physical dimensions. This would result in orders of magnitude of speed increases, due to the lack of need for classical 'processing,' code retreival, instruction sets, etc. The program would be a processor itself, and would pull any potentially needed data from nearby in the chip. This would simplify software, because a large portion of a computer's software is for managing other software and hardware, both of which would be obsolete concepts. There would only be "hard-programs" and user data like documents and webpages.
This is where you say I've got it all wrong. Otherwise, is this a field of research, and does it have a name that I can use to further study the concept?
Thanks for bearing with me, lol. If there's a better place to ask this, lemme know.

Puppy farm breeder sentenced to life for double murder
An elderly dog breeder is likely to die in jail after he was sentenced to at least 25 years for shooting his partner and her daughter dead at his puppy farm.
John Lowe, 82, was found guilty of murdering 66-year-old Christine Lee and her daughter Lucy Lee, 40, with his shotgun at his home near Farnham, Surrey, in February.
Sentencing Lowe at Guildford Crown Court, Mr Justice Singh praised the "extraordinary courage" of Lucy Lee after she returned to face her killer following a frantic 999 call on the day of the shootings.
Lowe, flanked by three security officers, winked at his supporters in the public gallery as he was led from the dock.
Puppy farm double murder pensioner to be sentenced
An elderly dog breeder who was found guilty of murdering his partner and her daughter at his puppy farm in Surrey is to be sentenced later.
John Lowe, 82, used a shotgun to kill Christine Lee, murdering the 66-year-old and her daughter Lucy, 40, at his home near Farnham, Surrey, in February. In court it emerged the weapon had previously been seized by Surrey Police, but was later returned.
The force apologised to the family after the weapons were confiscated in March last year following an allegation that threats to kill had been made, but were returned to Lowe four months later.
Dog breeder guilty of killing partner and her daughter
A dog breeder has been found guilty of murdering his partner and her daughter at his puppy farm in Surrey.
John Lowe used a shotgun to kill Christine Lee before shooting her daughter Lucy.
In court it emerged the weapon had previously been seized by Surrey Police, but was later returned.
ITV News' Martha Fairlie reports:
Dog breeder found guilty of puppy farm murders
An elderly dog breeder has been found guilty of murdering his partner and her daughter at his puppy farm in Surrey.
John Lowe, 82, blasted 66-year-old Christine Lee and her daughter Lucy Lee, 40, with a shotgun he normally used for killing rats at his property near Farnham, Surrey, in February.
He had told his trial at Guildford Crown Court that their deaths were "a terrible accident" after a struggle over the gun as he went to destroy some dogs.
But the jury of six men and six women convicted him of their murders after hearing that, following his arrest, he told the police he had "put down" the women.
They also heard that Lucy made a "desperate" 999 call to police saying that Lowe had killed her mother before telling the operator that she was going back to confront him.
She was then shot twice, with Lowe reloading the .410 calibre double-barrelled weapon between shots. Lowe, who listened to proceedings through a hearing loop, remained stoic as the verdicts were given.
Pensioner convicted of puppy farm murders
82-year-old John Lowe has been convicted at Guildford Crown Court of murdering his 66-year-old partner Christine Lee and her daughter Lucy Lee at his puppy farm in Surrey.
Consultant urologist 'disappointed' over dismissal
The Medical Defence Union has released a statement on behalf of consultant urologist Paul Miller who was dismissed by Surrey & Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.
The trust has commissioned a review into the care of more than 1,000 of Mr Miller's former patients.
I am extremely disappointed that the trust has decided to dismiss me. I strongly do not believe that this is justified.
I welcome the opportunity to co-operate with any investigation into my practice.
My priority as a consultant for the last 21 years has always been to protect patients' best interests and safety.
I cannot comment further due to my duty of patient confidentiality.
Private Surrey hospital 'reviewing' care of cancer patients
A private hospital in Surrey says it is "reviewing the notes" of any cancer patients treated by a former consultant urologist after he was dismissed.
Spire Gatwick Park Hospital suspended Paul Miller in December last year. This was only one of the hospitals where he worked.
Concerns for 1,200 Sussex and Surrey cancer patients
1,200 cancer patients have been assessed over fears they may have been mistreated by a former consultant urologist, Surrey & Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust has said.
All of the bladder and prostrate cancer patients were seen by consultant urologist Paul Miller between 2006 and 2012.
A review of their care by the Royal College of Surgeons found that 27 of the patients "came to harm" as a result of the treatment they received.
A small number of others received care that "fell below the standards we would expect" but were not harmed as a consequence, a statement said.
Mr Miller was dismissed from the Trust and has been banned from treating cancer patients pending an investigation by the General Medical Council.
- Concerned East Surrey Hospital patients can call a helpline on 0808 168 7754 Monday to Friday, between 11am and 7pm.

I'm new to WordPress, trying to move using it, and after reading boards, FAQ, 'index.php' and so on I still can't understand how the template is used/generated and can be altered to suit my needs :-( .
The first thing I need to do is to handle two (maybe more sometime in the future) kind of post in different way. When in the frontend I go to a category webpage, I would like to have all the first kind to be displayed, and only the 'n' last posts of the other kind (with a link or a calendar to get the others).
If possible without butchering the native WP code, so I could upgrade along with core WP without too much troubles :-/

Herewith a brief background. Jans Rautenbach has touring and travelling in his blood. He joined the industry in 1979, and has spent the last thirty years living out his dream. As a qualified courrier driver, he has travelled the width and breadth of Southern Africa, including Namibia, Swaziland, Botswana and Zimbabwe. However, due to a genetic hearing problem (he has lost 90% of his hearing) it made it difficult for him to cope with large touring groups. Jans spent the next 17 years travelling with small groups - eventually touring throughout Europe and Asia, covering 30 countries. Meeting his wife Lizelle changed his life around. Not only did she became his partner, but his ears and his life as well. Their combined skills, love of travel and people ensured that their clients get the best possible personal service in their fully air-conditioned 17-seater luxurious midi-bus, which sports it's own toilet, individual reading lights, recliner seats with magazine nets and tray table with cup holder, and even a DVD player! All tours start and end in Port Elizabeth - and having the advantage of owning their own vehicle they can guarantee departure of any advertised tour - whether the bus is full or not. Another speciality that the couple offers is that they are prepared to tailor make tours for a specific group of clients. A call to Lizelle will ensure charming and efficient personal service at all times. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Jans and Lizelle Rautenbach

Making Gnash: a well-deserved name?
Gnash is the Free Software Foundation's alternative Adobe Flash player. Version 0.8 is the third alpha release, and frankly, it rocks! It is also one of the first projects to be covered by the GPLv3.
GPLv3 due on Friday 29th
After a year and a half, GPLv3 is finally due this Friday, June 29th. Starting with the January 2006 launch, our focus in FSFE has on raising awareness and informing the free software community. Making transcripts of the January 16th launch and RMS's first GPLv3 presentations...
...and getting them on Slashdot was a good start.
No budget learning with free software
This article describes the work in progress of applying Ubuntu Linux sensibly within an underfunded school, and as part of a wider well thought out and alternative educational structure. I shall emphasise best practices and try my best not to dwell too much on the underlying technologies.
The school
Life and death in the IT world: a two-month summary
For the few that liked my blog and, after a couple of months of silence, thought that I was dead... well I am alive and kicked (no that's not a typo; I know it should be "kicking", but the reality is that I feel like I've been kicked in my back). What happened... well, a lot of work and, finally, a two-week holiday in Brittany kept me out of the real World. And, now that I am back, I am taking a look around. A number of new interesting news items stand out from the rest.
History of glibc and Linux libc
The "Linux libc" fork of the GNU C Library is now a mostly forgotten event. The fork lived from 1994 to 1997/8—just before my time—but I've found interesting accounts of it by others.
The main sources of information are:
- Elliot Lee's essay: A Technical Comparison of glibc 2.x With Legacy System Libraries—the original page is gone but archive.org has a copy
Sakai welcomed to Amsterdam
The 7th Sakai Conference took place from the 12-14 June in the Movenpick Hotel Amsterdam.
Some of you newer readers to my random ranting may be asking what Sakai actually is? Well Sakai is a rather excellent and rapidly transforming Collaboration and Learning Environment. With a solid history of rapid release cycles, ever evolving functional requirements and delivered features, it has a solid set of architectural principles supporting scalability.
This puppy rocks!
Fast, small, lightweight—and still a full-featured GNU/Linux: Puppy Linux combines a complete set of applications with great flexibility, yet it requires minimal hardware. This article introduces this increasingly popular GNU/Linux distribution.
Zonbu GNU/Linux computer
Zonbu GNU/Linux is a new, environmentally-friendly, compact PC available from Zonbu. It includes some features that really make it stand out from other PCs. Last, but not least, it comes with GNU/Linux. In this article, I will give you some of the highlights and thoughts of my experience with Zonbu.
Business 101: How to advertise your substandard product, lecture 1
Allow me to set the scene: There I was this morning, reading The Melbourne Age online and drinking a cup of decaffeinated coffee (just don't ask), when suddenly, I saw it. Again. An advertisement in the technology section that any first year media student worth their salt could trample all over. And I wondered, how do these travesties of advertising happen?
[Cue fade-out and chimes; cut to (day)dream sequence; fade-in...]
A long time ago in a classroom far, far away...
GNU Emacs 22: world's greatest software package
The GNU project has released Emacs 22. For the curious, now is a good time to try the World's greatest software package. There is even an Emacs tour for people to take a look first.
DOSBox, a multiplatform PC emulator
DOSBox is a freely available, cross-platform PC emulator. Rather than attempting to be the technology leader as a business-orientated virtualization environment like VMware or Qemu, DOSBox instead offers a rich set of features aimed at closely recreating the behaviour of a retro gaming PC. To this end, it offers a selection of accurate sound card emulations and facilities to throttle the emulation speed back to vintage PC levels, along with other features designed to make sure that the old games run properly and accurately within a protected environment.
The portable web development toolkit
Web developers are sometimes forced to travel. Unfortunately, lugging a big, bulky laptop around with all their programs is the only way to develop on the road. After all, using another computer is out of the question since it doesn't hold all of your favorite programs. Luckily, there is a best of both worlds. Thanks to John T. Haller, the Apache Friends, evolt.org, winPenPack.com, and a host of others, you can carry an Apache server, a MySQL (and SQLite) install, a PHP install, a Perl install, a mail server, an FTP server, two popular web browsers, an FTP client, an HTML editor, an image editor, and a vector graphics editor on a 512MB flash drive to be used with any Windows computer. All using free software.
GNU/Linux thin-clients
Well, I suppose I've had a (not quite so) brief hiatus from blogging, and it's time to come back into the fold.
I've been looking for a good GNU/Linux thin-client for my employer, a school district in the US. We have scores of aging desktops (primarily Intel PII 350 MHz and PIII 800 MHz systems) and looking more into the mobile arena for most computing needs. We currently utilize Citrix's MetaFrame Presentation Server for most client applications, so we could substitute the current Windows XP OS for GNU/Linux.
GPLv3 dd4 is out: last call!
The GPLv3 process has entered it's final stage with FSF releasing GPLv3 discussion draft 4. Some particularly good news is that this draft is finally compatible with the Apache licence.
Accompanying this "last call draft" is:
Ballmer's Gold
Here, we have a mug-shot of Steven Anthony Ballmer—the same Ballmer who has been ranting and raving that the Free Software Movement has "stolen" code from his precious Microsoft Windows OS, and incorporated it into software which we... uh... "give away" for free.
Question please, Mr Ballmer;
If we "stole" our operating systems from Microsoft, then how come our operating systems never "crash" in the monotonously regular fashion that every Windows OS has done since Windows 3.11?
UPnP, Mediatomb, PS3, and me
My brother lent me his PS3. I'm not sure why. But I do know I've already wasted several hours on it, first playing my old Ratchet and Clank games, then Resistance: Fall of Man, and Flow, and so on.
After I bored of the games (about an hour after turning it on), I decided to explore the home media functions of the PS3. The first thing I noticed was the menu item at the top of the media areas: "Search for Media Servers".
Three hours later, and a lot of experimenting, I have discovered the wonders of serving up media.
Ideas for patent reform
Usually, I use this spot to rant about something, or someone that's riled me up in some way. My lack of discussion on software patents doesn't mean I agree with them, it's just that everyone else has been doing it. I couldn't see why I should do so and be seen as just another blogger with nothing better to do with my time.
Someone that has plenty of things to do with their time is Simon Phipps. He was brought into Sun to work up their Open Source strategy, and was instrumental in getting Java released under the GPL. And he still has enough energy left to be a great speaker. I had the pleasure of meeting and hearing him talk last night, where he introduced his ideas for software patent form. Let's face it - software patents are going to happen, so we might as well be constructive about it and guide it in the right direction, so it can be implemented in a manner with which we are agreeable.
Free software and the International Space Development Conference
I know that Free software proponents love to hang out with each other. You go to a conference with free software folks talking about how great free software is, but that's just preaching to the choir. You can't forget to go out there in the world and show others what it feels like and looks like to use free software.
This week, May 25 - May 28, I'm going to attend the International Space Development conference that will be held at the Intercontinental Dallas Hotel at 15201 Dallas Parkway in Addison Texas.
Winning the OpenDocument vs. OpenXML war
In August 2005 Peter Quinn, now retired Chief Information Officer of Massachusetts, decided that OpenDocument was the best way to store documents with the guarantee that they would be able to be opened 10, 30, 50 years from now. For a state government, this is particularly important. He led Massachusetts toward OpenDocument and OpenOffice.org. The move, which sparked controversy and ferocious lobbying, is likely to end-up in history books (and while we're at it, I'll mention that history books in particular ought to be accessible 50, 100, 1000 years from now!).

I'm trying to take a video created using the iVidCap plugin and add audio to it. Basically the exact same thing as in this question: Writing video + generated audio to AVAssetWriterInput, audio stuttering. I've used the code from this post as a basis to try and modify the iVidCap.mm file myself, but the app always crashes in endRecordingSession.
I'm not sure how I need to modify endRecordingSession to accomodate for the audio (the original plugin just creates a video file). Here is the function:
- (int) endRecordingSession: (VideoDisposition) action {
NSLog(@"Start endRecordingSession");
NSAutoreleasePool* pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSLog(@"Auto released pool");
NSString *filePath;
BOOL success = false;
[videoWriterInput markAsFinished];
NSLog(@"Mark video writer input as finished");
//[audioWriterInput markAsFinished];
// Wait for the video status to become known.
// Is this really doing anything?
int status = videoWriter.status;
while (status == AVAssetWriterStatusUnknown) {
NSLog(@"Waiting for video to complete...");
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:0.5f];
status = videoWriter.status;
NSLog(@"Video completed");
@synchronized(self) {
success = [videoWriter finishWriting];
NSLog(@"Success: %@", success);
if (!success) {
// We failed to successfully finalize the video file.
NSLog(@"finishWriting returned NO");
} else {
// The video file was successfully written to the Documents folder.
filePath = [[self getDocumentsFileURL:videoFileName] path];
if (action == Save_Video_To_Album) {
// Move the video to an accessible location on the device.
NSLog(@"Temporary video filePath=%@", filePath);
if (UIVideoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum(filePath)) {
NSLog(@"Video IS compatible. Adding it to photo album.");
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(filePath, self, @selector(copyToPhotoAlbumCompleteFromVideo: didFinishSavingWithError: contextInfo:), nil);
} else {
NSLog(@"Video IS NOT compatible. Could not be added to the photo album.");
success = NO;
} else if (action == Discard_Video) {
NSLog(@"Video cancelled. Removing temporary video file: %@", filePath);
[self removeFile:filePath];
[self cleanupWriter];
isRecording = false;
[pool drain];
return success; }
Right now it crashes on [videoWriter finishWriting]. I tried adding [audioWriterInput markAsFinished], but then it crashes on that. I would contact the original poster since it seems like they got it working, but there doesn't seem to be a way to send private messages.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this to work or why it's crashing? I've tried my best to figure this out but I'm pretty new to Obj-C. I can post the rest of the code if needed (a lot of it is in the original post referenced earlier).

Summer Activities
Whether you want to start growing your own produce or your child has expressed interested in digging in the soil, we've compiled a list of 17 ways to a grow a green thumb, including gardening activities for kids, gardening tools for kids, what to plant in a kid's garden, how to create small container gardens, and how to start composting.
In addition to being a fruitful hobby, gardening has health benefits for kids and adults. Gardening outside promotes movement (walking, squatting, and lifting), and you'll get plenty of vitamin D—just remember to wear sunscreen! It also "connects us with nature, which has been shown to work wonders for children having a hard time focusing," says Renata Fossen Brown in Gardening Lab for Kids: 52 Fun Experiments to Learn, Grow, Harvest, Make, Play, and Enjoy Your Garden. Gardening can be therapeutic, and it stimulates all five senses, which is beneficial for many children with special needs.
The following 20 plants are ideal in children's gardens because "they have personality, fragrance, texture, and color—vibrant color. They grow quickly—something kids need in response to their work," says Sharon Lovejoy in her book Roots Shoots Buckets & Boots: pumpkins, sunflowers, gourds, corn, berries, hollyhocks, carrots, mimosa, poppies, tomatoes, trees, alliums, potatoes, woolly lamb's ear, four-o'clocks, evening primroses, radishes, nasturtium, moon plant, and lemon verbena. Learn why Lovejoy chose these plants for children, and how your kids can incorporate them in their everyday life.
Has your tot outgrown his favorite puddle jumpers? Don't give them away; make them into a pair of mini gardens!
We discovered this idea in Roots Shoots Buckets & Boots by Sharon Lovejoy, a font of unique family gardening suggestions and helpful tips.
If you're too impatient to tend to a garden, or don't have a plot of land to call your own, here's a thought: Toss seed grenades! First used centuries ago by farmers to ensure their precious seeds were protected from birds, insects, sun, and wind until rainfall caused them to germinate, these blooming bombs were most recently utilized by guerrilla gardening pioneer Liz Christy, who threw wildflower seed grenades into fenced-off vacant lots around her New York neighborhood.
To ensure gardening is a successful and enjoyable experience for your children, keep these tips in mind.
Fill your garden with gnomes—with actual growing hair!—to help watch over it and keep you company.
Ever wonder which part of a plant grows first, what's a plant's secret weapon, or why some flowers smell bad? How Does a Seed Sprout? and Other Questions About Plants by Melissa Stewart, one of the newest titles in the Good Question series, answers these questions and more. The book, which is aligned with the Common Core standards, gives children basic information in a Q-and-A format with detailed illustrations and plant lifecycle infographics. (Ages 7 and older)
Some plants you may be considering for your garden could be toxic to cats and dogs. Keep indoor plants out of reach of your animals, and put a fence around your outdoor garden. Check out ASPCA's list of plants that are toxic and nontoxic to cats and dogs to see which you should avoid.
Did you know that fairy gardens are a thing? Search Pinterest and you'll be tickled by the magic they can bring to your plants—and we're willing to bet your princess and Peter Pan fans' interest will be piqued, too. Browse at myfairygardens.com for ideas and accessories to help you create miniature whimsical landscapes using small-scale plants.
Take one sunflower seed leftover from the Sunflower Oat Bars recipe and plant it in a little pot (a yogurt container is perfect) filled with compost, suggests Paul Lindley in his new book Ella's Kitchen: The Big Baking Book. Ask your little one to cover the pot with plastic wrap and make a few holes in the top. Leave the pot on a sunny windowsill and when the first leaves appear, replant the sunflower in a bigger pot and leave it somewhere sunny outside. How tall will your sunflower grow?
Place a damp paper towel in a clear plastic sandwich bag, then place a lima bean seed between the paper towel and bag. Put the bag on a windowsill that gets a lot of sunlight so the germination process can occur. Over the next several days, you'll be able to observe how a seed grows for yourself. Put a reminder in your smartphone for next year: If you do this next spring too, you can plant the germinated seed in your garden!
Need some inspiration for what to plant in your garden, or simply like to stroll through someone else's? See our botanical garden where-to guide to find local gardens to visit.
A patch of constant sun and a few pots are all you need to cultivate the main ingredients for some healthy nacho fixin's. Pick up one each of cilantro, tomato, bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper plants at a nursery and repot them in organic soil. When it's harvest time, plan a Tex-Mex dinner and tap the kids to help prepare—and see whose salsa recipe gets scooped up first!
Have your child keep a journal about your garden filled with drawings of insects and plants, and observations about what they see.
Is a lack of yard space keeping you from your composting goal? The All Seasons Indoor Composter is an in-house system of Bokashi composting that turns kitchen scraps into organic compost without the foul odor and can easily be stored in the cabinet under the sink. Each time you add food waste to the bin, top it with Bokashi (a mixture of water, wheat bran, and molasses), and the food will ferment more quickly than traditional composting. The composter also features a strainer and spigot, allowing the moisture released during the composting process to be drained and used as a nutrient-rich fertilizer for indoor and outdoor plants.

Range Description
It is found from east Africa (Mozambique, Kenya, Madagascar and the Red Sea) to India (including Andaman Islands), to Indonesia and the Philippines. It can be found as far north as southern China and Japan, and south to northern Australia and various South Pacific islands.
Physical Description
Diagnostic Description
Habitat and Ecology
This species prefers habitats with strong currents (Purcell et al. 2008) near seagrass and coral reefs, typically in areas deeper than 10 m (Choo 2008). In the Western Indian Ocean and Africa, it prefers the back reef seagrass over sandy bottoms between 0 and 20 m (Conand 2008). In China, it prefers deep waters, between 40 and 60 m (Li 2004).
This species occurs in coarse coral sand, from the intertidal to a depth of 10 m. It is a burrowing form and comes out of the mud during cloudy days and at night. Small individuals are usually buried in the sand while larger specimens are covered with a thin layer of sand (Schoppe 2000).No information is known on changes of habitat requirements during the life history of the species, but generally, the juveniles of aspidochirotids are cryptic and small individuals that may migrate into adult habitat later (Purcell 2004).

Year Assessed
In the Gulf of Manner and Pal Bay, CPUE and size of specimens has dramatically declined (Bruckner et al. 2003).
In the Maldives, export of Thelenota ananas, Holothuria nobilis, and Bohadschia marmorata increased from 3 t in 1986 (start of the fishery) to 740 t in 1990 (Bruckner et al. 2003).
In the Philippines, annual exports increased from 250 t in 1977 and 1189 t in 1984 to 2123 t in 1996 for 25 species including Holothuria scabra, H. nobilis, Bohadschia marmorata, H. fuscogilva, H. atra and Actinopyga lecanora (Bruckner et al. 2003).
In Thailand, populations of this species have decreased in fishing areas (Bruckner et al. 2003).
In the Seychelles, this species has been observed at population densities of 1.79 individuals ha-1 (Aumeeruddy and Conand 2008).
Population Trend
This species is considered underexploited (Aumeeruddy 2007, Aumeeruddy and Conand 2008). In Tanzania, it is among the most important species despite its low value (Mgaya and Mmbaga 2007). In India, this species used to be fished as one of the most valuable commercial species. However, due to population decline, the government declared a fishing ban as of 2001 (Bruckner 2005).
Although not one of the most important species (low value) for fishery purposes, it can be expected that this species may become more popular after the depletion or reduction of other species of higher commercial importance and value. This was observed in Tanzania after the depletion of Holothuria scabra (Mgaya and Mmbaga, 2007).This species is of low commercial value but is exploited in Torres Straight (Skewes 2004).
In India, Holothuria scabra, H. spinifera and Bohadschia marmorata have been collected over the last 1000 years. Fishermen began collecting other species in 1990, in response to high export value and population declines. Actinopyga echinites and A. miliaris populations were overexploited in some areas as early as 2 years later (Bruckner et al. 2003).
Many sea cucumbers are broadcast spawners, which can limit the fertilization success of a species in exploited populations.
Conservation Actions
With the inclusion of Isostichopus fuscus in CITES Appendix III, a debate started about whether the conservation of this group may be addressed with their inclusion in one of CITES appendices. The debate started in Conference of the Parties (CoP) 12 (Santiago, Chile) and extended to CoP 14 (The Hague, Netherlands). No recent advances have been achieved on this matter. For a revision of the possible pros and cons of a CITES listing, please see Toral-Granda (2007).
Bohadschia marmorata
Bohadschia marmorata, commonly known as the brown sandfish, is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae. It lives on the seabed in shallow waters in the Indo-Pacific region.
Bohadschia marmorata is cylindrical in shape and grows to about 35 centimetres (14 in) long. The body wall is tough and leathery and has a rough texture due to the calcareous spicules it contains. It is covered in translucent papillae up to 1 centimetre (0.39 in) across and a few short spines. The anterior end of the body is somewhat narrowed and has a mouth surrounded by a ring of retractile tentacles. The posterior end is rounded and has an anal opening. Adjoining this is the cloaca through which defensive white sticky threads, the cuvierian tubes, may be ejected when the animal is stressed. The cloaca is also connected to the respiratory tree, into and out of which water is pumped for gas exchange. The body colour is cream or orange partially obscured by variable numbers of dark brown speckles and blotches. On the underside is a wide pale-coloured longitudinal stripe and many short, slender tube feet with knobbly tips.[2][3][4]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Bohadschia marmorata is found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. The range extends from the Red Sea and east coast of Africa to Japan, the Philippines and Australia.[1] It lives on the sandy or gravelly bottoms of shallow water areas and seagrass meadows at depths down to about 36 metres (118 ft). It is often semi-submerged in the sand.[1][4]
Bohadschia marmorata is a detritivore. It uses its tube feet to move around and scoops sand, mud and debris into its mouth with its oral tentacles. Having processed this material in its gut, it voids the remains, leaving a characteristic trail of sand on the seabed.[1][5]

America is CRAZY COOL!
eBook (ePub): $1.49
I LOVE AMERICA! It just rocks, but stupid jerk-bag politicians and other idiots are trying to destroy it! Instead of helping them by voting for the next fat cat that runs for offer, I have decided to... More > go on the attack... Well, anyway, I have one talent and it is writing. I am NOT a good writer, just an impassioned one and sometimes that enough. Let me inspire you to stop electing idiots and start fighting the power with your words and deeds. Inspire others to vote for the little guys that represent the real America, not the one occupied by Gzillianaires who have never had to worry about their bills or what their family will eat because mommy or daddy is paying the bills. Go to rallies and question the people who the powers that be put up for election: Ask them how they can relate to you and other average Americans?< Less

You just exhorted us to go RIGHT NOW to win an autographed copy of a recording by a band who had, at best, about 2 minutes - leaving aside the fact that those 2 minutes also occurred about a zillion years ago now.
Are you feeling well?
I demand autographed FLAC files!
Curling is da bomb.
@1: Screw you, Presidents rule. I remember when they were on Almost Live, with Gary Locke, doing "Volcano." Damn that was funny.
@4 - Well then I hope you got over there RIGHT AWAY to try to get your signed copy.
