VooMote Zapper adds iCloud support
Zero1.tv has added iCloud support to its VooMote Zapper universal remote control app for iOS devices. The app is designed to work in tandem with the VooMote Zapper hardware accessory (iLounge Rating: B+), a infrared blaster dongle that connects to an iOS device's Dock Connector port to turn the device into a universal remote control for a variety of home theatre equipment. Users can setup macros, personalize the user interface and mix and match buttons and macros for multiple devices into a series of remote control views that can further be grouped into rooms. With version 1.4 users can now store their remote configuration and all screen customizations in iCloud for backup or sharing with other iOS devices in the household. The latest update also adds over 1,250 new remote control codes to the application's database. The VooMote Zapper app is available from the App Store as a free download; iOS 5.0 or later and a VooMote Zapper hardware accessory is required to use the app.
Sparrow adds in-app browser, badge settings
Sparrow has released an update to its advanced e-mail app for the iPhone and iPod touch adding several new features and quashing a few bugs in the process. Based on the Sparrow Mac e-mail client, the iOS version provides a number of advanced features such as Priority Inbox, labels and archiving for Gmail accounts along with a unified inbox, photo attachment support and a swipe gesture based user interface. Sparrow 1.1 now includes a built-in web browser for opening links within the app without requiring the user to switch over to Safari as well as new options for sending & archiving in one step and emptying trash and spam folders. Users can also now choose to hide specific labels/folders that they don't need quick access to on the go and can customize the app icon badge for each individual account.

iPhone to rollout on multiple regional carriers April 20
In addition to nTelos, a handful of other regional carriers will be launching the iPhone on April 20. AppleInsider notes that Alaska Communications, Appalachian Wireless of Kentucky, GCI of Alaska, and Cellcom of Wisconsin will all launch the iPhone on April 20. As mentioned in the report, GCI operates a GSM network, and may therefore offer the iPhone 3GS for free on a two-year contract, while the others operate CDMA networks, and will therefore be limited to offering the appropriate variant of the iPhone 4 as well as the iPhone 4S. Apple first expanded iPhone distribution to regional carriers las November with the launch of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S on C Spire Wireless.
Apple plans iOS volume button shutter changes?
Recent reports suggest that Apple may be once again rejecting apps that make use of the iPhone volume buttons for shutter control, despite iOS 5's addition of the feature into the built-in Camera app, and the subsequent approval of several camera apps implementing the feature.
Several app developers added volume button shutter controls to their iOS 4 camera apps in 2010, most notably Tap tap tap's Camera+. Apple rejected the app due to this feature, so Tap tap tap added it as a hidden option instead. Soon thereafter, Apple began cracking down on apps with the feature, citing App Store Guidelines that prohibited changing the features of iOS hardware buttons. When Apple discovered the hidden feature in Camera+, it removed the app entirely from the App Store, and Camera+ didn't return until several months later, with the "VolumeSnap" feature conspicuously absent.
With iOS 5.0 Apple brought the ability for the volume-up button to be used as a shutter control in the built-in Camera app. Several developers took this as a sign of Apple's willingness to approve the use of this feature in third-party apps, and Camera+ was able to resurrect VolumeSnap late last fall. Several other camera app developers followed suit.
It appears that Apple is planning to change the volume button shutter, though it should be noted that the App Store Guidelines were never updated to permit third-party apps to use the feature. Last week, SmugMug released an update to its Camera Awesome photo app, adding Instagram support, however as Harry McCracken discovered, the update also quietly removed the ability to use the volume up button to take photos. McCracken contacted SmugMug CEO Don MacAskill for an explanation and was informed that Apple had "called and told [them] that they were asking all app developers using the volume button this way to remove the functionality because it was going to break in a future iOS update." MacAskill goes on to explain that Apple has not confirmed whether it will provide an approved method for using the volume button as a shutter control, and notes that he "expect[s] more apps to start removing their volume button support in the future as a result."
Notably, however, the latest version of Camera+, updated around the same time as Camera Awesome last week, still retains the ability to use the volume up button as a shutter control.
Survey: One-third of US high schoolers own an iPhone
Over one-third of U.S. high school students now own an iPhone, according to the latest Piper Jaffray semi-annual survey of U.S. teenagers. As reprinted by MacRumors, the survey found that 34 percent of surveyed students now own an iPhone, representing an all-time high and double the percentage seen just one year ago. In addition, 40 percent of those surveyed indicated that they plan to purchase an iPhone within the next six months. As for tablets, 34 percent of students said they own a tablet, and 70 percent of those said they have an iPad. 53 percent of iPad-owning students also own an iPhone, and 19 percent of students said they plan to purchase a tablet within the next six months, with 80 percent of that group planning to purchase an iPad. The survey was conducted among 5,600 U.S. high school students.
Sprint PR points to unlimited LTE iPhone data
Sprint has issued a press release for its upcoming LG Viper offering which suggests that the carrier will continue its tradition of offering unlimited data plans even to handsets that use LTE. "LG Viper pairs perfectly with our unlimited data plans to bring customers the benefit of new technology, including our upcoming 4G LTE capabilities at a great price", said David Owens, vice president of Product Development at Sprint. The carrier later confirmed to Engadget that LTE service will be included on its existing Everything plans. Sprint plans to launch LTE service in Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City and San Antonio by "mid-year", with other cities to follow in the coming months; Apple is widely expected to include LTE in its next-generation iPhone.

FileMaker releases FileMaker Go 12 for iOS
FileMaker has released a major update to its FileMaker 12 database software lineup, including new, free versions of its FileMaker Go iOS companion apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Sync is not natively supported but advanced FileMaker developers can create custom solutions for synchronizing and reconciling changes. The new FileMaker Go apps introduce iOS multitasking support and direct media integration for audio and video recording and playback along with enhanced container fields when used for streaming media content from fileMaker Server 12 without any storage limitations. The new version also adds support for several additional export formats including Microsoft Excel, CSV and HTML. FileMaker Go 12 for iPad and FileMaker Go 12 for iPhone require iOS 4.3 or later and are both available from the App Store as free downloads. FileMaker Pro 12 is required to create or modify databases.

Shazam is available from the App Store in several versions: Shazam for the iPhone and iPod touch and Shazam for iPad are both ad-supported free downloads from the App Store with in-app purchase options to upgrade to the full versions; alternatively, users can purchase Shazam Encore ($6) or (Shazam)RED ($6) which are ad-free and provide additional features such as links to music on Spotify and Pandora.
AmpKit adds Retina DIsplay support, Trace Elliot amp system
Agile Partners has updated its AmpKit guitar effects and recording app for iOS adding Retina Display support for the new iPad along with an expanded array of gear available for purchase in the in-app Gear Store. With AmpKit 1.3, bass players can now purchase a full-featured bass amp and cabinet modeled after the Trace Elliot 1215 combo that includes features from the real Trace Elliot amps such as switchable valve (tube) drive and signature Pre Shape circuits. The AmpKit model also includes the Trace Elliot 12-band graphic equalizer tuned for bass frequencies, an optimized dual-band compressor and a convolution-based simulation of the 1x15 cabinet.
Additional new gear available in the latest version includes the Rocktron Metal Planet Distortion pedal for hardcore heavy metal distortion with mid-frequency controls for adjusting between the classic scooped heavy metal sound or modern rock tone; and the Rocktron HUSH Noise Reduction circuit to wipe out hiss and pickup buzz, delivering 65dB of signal cleanup while maintaining the integrity of the music signal. AmpKit 1.3 also introduces extended support for digital guitar interfaces, updated headset input compensation for the third-generation iPad and iPhone 4S and the ability to save setups for all channels on multi-channel amps.

iOS, Android account for 80% of US smartphone market
Apple's iOS and Google's Android now account for over 80 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, according to the latest data from comScore. While Android continues to lead iOS with a 50.1 percent share of the market, iOS has seen continued growth, accounting for 30.2 percent of the market in February—up from 28.7 percent in November 2011, and up five percentage points from a year ago. iOS' and Android's growth has come at the expense of RIM's BlackBerry, which now accounts for just 13.4 percent of the market, and Microsoft's Windows Phone, which accounts for 3.9 percent of the market; those numbers represent three-month declines of 3.2 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively. ComScore's data data is derived from an intelligent online survey of a nationally representative sample of mobile subscribers age 13 and older.
LogMeIn adds new iPad support, HD for Mac users
LogMeIn has updated its free LogMeIn and paid Ignition apps for iOS adding support for the new iPad Retina Display along with additional in-app Pro subscription options for users of the free version. Following a recent update to the Mac OS X LogMeIn app, the iOS version now also provides Mac users with access to high-definition video streaming capabilities and sound directly from their iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
HD support was added to the LogMeIn iOS apps in December, however the feature requires an accompanying update to the computer-side component which was initially only available for Windows users. With the latest Mac update, LogMeIn Pro subscribers can now stream HD-quality video with sound from their remote Mac, allowing users to view movies and TV shows and even play games over a remote desktop connection. For users of the free LogMeIn iOS app, a Pro subscription is required to access the new HD features for each remote computer; in-app subscriptions have been updated in the latest release with three-month and six-month options in addition to the $40/year annual subscription. Users of LogMeIn's paid Ignition app can access the HD video streaming and other iOS-related Pro features such as My Cloud Bank for multiple remote computers with no additional subscription required. LogMeIn for iOS is available from the App Store as a free download; Ignition is priced at $100 and is a free update for users of prior versions. Both apps are universal with support for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Hyped Jorno keyboard/stand killed before delivery
Cervantes Mobile's widely-touted Jorno folding Bluetooth keyboard and stand has died without having ever shipped, iLounge has learned. We were contacted by a reader who placed a pre-order for the Jorno following its introduction in late 2010, and was subsequently told that the product wouldn't actually ship until March 31, 2012. After that date came and went without any word from the company, the reader then received an email from Cervantes Mobile, explaining that the Jorno was being cancelled due to lack of funding, and that the company was "re-launching our business" around an alternative keyboard—the Nomad—a less deluxe design that's it's now selling for the same price as the Jorno.
As pointed out by our reader, the Nomad Mobile store is selling this keyboard, alongside an iPad stand called "the Base Cradle." While the keyboard is inoffensively designed, the Base Cradle is a clone of the excellent Compass stand, unauthorized by developer Twelve South. Interestingly, the lone comment on our September 2010 story covering the Jorno turned out to be prescient: "I'll keep my eye on this, but they won't be getting my money until they actually deliver both a product and on the promise of the product." Cervantes Mobile has yet to update the Jorno website to indicate that the product is no longer expected to launch; indeed, it still states that the Jorno will be "Available March 31, 2012." (Thanks, Jason!)
Apple to announce Q2 2012 earnings on April 24
Apple has announced that it will report its results for the second fiscal quarter of 2012 on Tuesday, April 24. The release will be followed by the usual conference call to discuss the financial results, which will begin at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. iLounge will be providing coverage of the call. The call will likely discuss first quarter sales of the third-generation iPad and third-generation Apple TV, and could possibly offer insight into Apple's product plans for the rest of the year.
iStudiez Pro adds Retina Display support, UI enhancements
Class and study management app iStudiez Pro has been updated with support for the new iPad Retina Display and several other smaller improvements and bug fixes. iStudiez Pro is a universal app designed to help students, teachers and parents easily keep track of school schedules, homework, exams and grades by providing planning tools, assignment notifications, grade/GPA tracking features and more. Version 1.6 adds options for selecting multiple assignments to delete or copy in a single operation and a new pinch-to-zoom gesture to expand content in the Assignments list view. Users can also now send their data backup out as a file and the update fixes a number of bugs related to cloud sync, editing time frames and proper display of birthdays. Localizations for Hungarian, Italian and Traditional Chinese have also been added in the latest update. iStudiez Pro is available from the App Store for $3; a companion Mac desktop application is also available from the Mac App Store for $10.
TiltShift Generator for iPad adds Retina Display, camera support
Art & Mobile has released an update to TiltShift Generator for iPad adding support for the Retina Display and the built-in camera on second- and third-generation iPad devices. TiltShift Generator allows users to apply linear and radial depth-of-field effects to photos as well as adjust colour saturation, brightness, contrast and vignettes. In addition to Retina Display and camera support, version 1.8 also adds performance optimizations for the new iPad and integration with the built-in Twitter support on devices running iOS 5 or later. TiltShift Generator for iPad is available from the App Store for $3.
Poddities adds money clip to iPhone 4, 4S
Poddities is now offering its Money Clip for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Unlike case-based solutions, Poddities' clip attaches to the iPhone on the bottom, requiring the user to unscrew the two bottom screws and subsequently replace them with longer versions that accomodate the added thickness of the money clip. Made from stainless steel, Poddities' Money Clip for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S is available now and sells for roughly $32.
AR.Drone FreeFlight adds Video Recording
Parrot has released a major update for the FreeFlight remote control app for its AR.Drone Quadricopter (iLounge Rating: B+) adding a revamped user interface along with support for capturing photos and video. FreeFlight 2.0 now allows users to record high definition video from the AR.Drone 2.0 on-board camera via the Wi-Fi connection; recorded videos can then be uploaded to YouTube from directly within the app. Users can also capture photos from the AR.Drone and share them on Picasa. The updated version also provides a new "absolute control" piloting mode and support for performing acrobatic flip manoeuvres with the AR.Drone 2.0 'copter. Users can also now register with a new online community, the AR.Drone Academy, from within the app to share flight data, photos and videos and discover other users flying in their neighbourhood. FreeFlight 2.0 requires iOS 4.3 or later and an AR.Drone or AR.Drone 2.0 and is available from the App Store as a free download.

As you may know (since I've alluded to it here, here and here), I'm heading off to Italy for what may very well be a vacation of a lifetime! My sister, Kirsten, who recently graduated from the University of Nevada – Las Vegas with her doctorate in Physical Therapy, decided that seven years of school was enough and planned a two month trip to Europe to celebrate! When she invited me to join her on the Italian leg of the trip, I was ecstatic! I leave tomorrow and am so excited to join her as we peruse through northern Italy experiencing a place which has thousands and thousands of years of history and who's culture is so distinct and far-reaching.
In addition to the regular vacation preparation of procuring a backpack, arranging time off with work, chugging Airborne, and making reservations at hostels, there was one little corner of my life which glaringly needed to be accounted for and that was this: Homewares By Hand. HBH will celebrate it's six month anniversary at the end of this month (and at the tail-end of my trip) and it has been such a fun blessing so far! The comments I receive both here in written form at HBH and face-to-face with you when we share life together are so constructive and supportive. As such, it seemed almost neglectful to take two weeks off. Then, I had a thought…
I have so many wonderful friends. I have so many crafty friends. I have so many friends who have been to Italy or at least act as if they have. Why not have them lend their creative talents? And so, I'm thrilled to announce that the following came to life:
So what does this mean? It means five, Italian-focused posts that will take you along side my sister and I as we tromp through northern Italy. It means a breath of fresh, creative air as the HBH Guest Posters share their tips and tricks. And, of course, it means a:
But first, let me give you a quick introduction to the wonderful team who has been so generous with their time to make HBH Goes Italian a real-deal series:
Moira | Espresso Basics in Milan: Moira has been featured here before on HBH under the code name M (you may recall her baby shower or the fact she's my common day lord-ess). We met through our community group at Mars Hill Church and her influence in my adult, Seattle life has been priceless. The mother of three, beautiful and life-loving children, she'll be showing you how to pull the perfect shot at home.
Kelly M. | Gelato in Venice: Kelly M. and I met at my former place of employment and I cannot get enough of this girl (she's always up for trying a new Everyday Food recipe)! The coauthor of a wonderful blog with her husband, Jonathan, Kelly never ceases to amaze me with her domestic skills (true story: Upon arriving at Kelly's house to babysit her beautiful daughter, B (who's been mentioned here and here at HBH), I complimented Kelly on her dress. "Oh this?" she said, "I made it… super simple." Enough said right?). Tune in later this week as Kelly and her wonderful family show you to make gelato, a sweet treat that has caught the USA's attention in recent years.
Kelly W. | Wine Cork Board in Florence: I love the story of how Kelly W. and I met each other. At a mutual friend's get together, said mutual friend brings Kelly up to me and says, "I know this is weird but you two have to meet each other. You're meant to be friends." All I can say is that she was right (seriously, thanks Jules!)! Kelly is fun, resourceful, and a DIY-er by nature which is evident in her tutorial of creating a Wine Cork Board. The first of two craft projects comprising the HBH Goes Italian series, tune in and send pictures of your project should you find yourself inspired to make one (trust me, you'll want to)!
Carrie | Fresh Pasta with Filling in Rome: Oh Carrie… Truly, the state of Washington is permanently indebted to Iowa for allowing this gem of a woman and friend to grace us with her hip presence. You have all met Carrie before as she's been mentioned here and here and here and here (do I owe her a royalty check?!). I'm thrilled that she's transitioning from third-person-in-narrative to first-person-writing-her-own-post to share her recent experience making a dish that conveys Italian cuisine for so many people. Tune in next week for Carrie's Fresh Pasta with Filling (and a sweet surprise too!).
Sally | DIY Card Tutorial as we say 'Ciao Italia': I can only grin as I recall how many times Sally, owner of la Happy, and I have run into each other over our lifetime: same college, same visual merchandising class, same campus ministry, same summer project, same church, same campus, same serve team. Gosh! Do you think we were meant to collaborate and work with each other? Sally's beautiful work has been featured here at HBH before and it's her handiwork that came up with the perfect HBH Goes Italian banner above too! Tune in to HBH in early July (check in on Friday before you leave for your Independence Day weekend) where Sally has generously shared a special DIY Card Tutorial just for HBH readers!
Now, that you've met Team Impressionante (Italian for awesome), let's talk about the:
The prize will be Italian. It will be sweet (perhaps not in taste but in overall character). Participating will be easy breezy. At the end of each guest post, there will be a GIVEAWAY QUERY which will take less than thirty seconds to answer and all you have to do is leave a comment! Entries are limited to one person (your e-mail's required so I can contact you should you win) per post so have fun, participate, and tell your friends (unless you really want to win and keep the pool to a minimum). A special thanks to my friend, Emily (the coolest science teacher in King County), who will be moderating comments according to HBH's terms while I'm away from e-mail! The drawing will occur the first week I'm back and we'll use the date/time stamp of July 5th at midnight (PST) to qualify entries.
While I wish you could join me, I hope that you enjoy the Homewares by Hand Goes Italian series while I'm gone! I'll "see" you back in July – until then, arrivederci gli amici!

Before we start, let me say I am one of the few people in this world legitimately allowed to judge people on their Wonderlic scores.
I took a Wonderlic test for a bank teller job I applied for in Breckenridge, Colo. And make no mistake, the thing is really, really easy. See for yourself.
Once you're done checking on that, come on back and chuckle with me, because we're about to predict the scores of the quarterbacks taking the Wonderlic for their NFL Combine performance Friday.
We'll see if I guessed in the right ballpark once they make the results public...

Swimming in Northland could be seen to be on the rise after a further six athletes qualified for the 2014 New Zealand Age Group Championships, meaning a total of 38 have done so.
With nearly 40 young Northlanders set to take part in the competition next month, it will be the largest Northland contingent at the event in recent years.
Qualifying at the national Division 2 Championships in Hamilton two weeks ago, Bailey Maihi, David Clarke, Elijah Purnell, Simon De Long, Hayley Donovan and Paul Linton all met the standard set for top national age group swimmers.
At the division two event, Bay of Islands' swimmer Maihi took the gong of being Northland's top swimmer in claiming six medals - two of which were gold.
The 16-year-old headed off competition from clubmate Clarke and Bream Bay's Purnell to be the top Northlander.
Clarke, 16, and Purnell, 17, were only one medal shy of matching Maihi's haul, however Purnell did claim one more gold than Maihi.
In total, Northland had 12 medal winners in Hamilton with relay teams contributing an additional three medals.
The next highest medal haulers were 15-year-old Inez Wilson-Harding, of Northwave, and 14-year-old De Long, of Whangarei, who claimed three medals each - the former claiming one gold and latter claiming two golds.
A pair of Whangarei 14-year-olds, Donovan and Euan Sapwell, with 13-year-old Linton, of Bream Bay, brought home two medals each - including one gold apiece.
Rounding out the Northland medal winners were 15-year-olds Bram van Gaalen, of Whangarei, and Neve Clapton, of Bay of Islands, who both won gold. Kyran Gillespie of Dargaville and Tashana Pure of Nga Papahu also came home with a medal each.
The Northland boys 15-years-and-over relay teams also won gold medals, in both the freestyle and medley relays. The team for both relays was Clarke, Gillespie, Maihi and Bram van Gaalen.
The 13-14 years girls team won a silver in the freestyle relay - this team consisted of Bryna McCondach, of Bay of Islands, Jordan Williams, Nga Papahu, Madison Brooke, of Whangarei, and Pure.
The Division 2 Championships is a second-tier competition held for swimmers 13-years-and-over who have yet to qualify for the higher ranked New Zealand Age Group Championships.
Next on the national calendar is the New Zealand Open Championships, which will be held in Auckland from April 8-11.

This is not your grandmother's hotel (unless she favored leopard-print carpeting). But depending on your appetite for the unusual, the Silver Queen might be the perfect ski retreat. Set on Main Street a quick walk from the Town Lift, the hotel has 12 suites. Each has a full kitchen and a washer/dryer, and the six two-bedroom suites boast steam showers in addition to jetted tubs. After a day on the hill, head for the rooftop hot tub. Or, if it's that kind of night, Mother Urban's nightclub is just across the street.
Designed in circa-1900 national-park-lodge fashion, Hotel Park City opened in early 2002, bringing a new level of luxe to the lodging scene (Deer Valley notwithstanding). Skiers hitting all three resorts will like its location, as well as the on-demand shuttles to ferry them to and fro. The resort comprises 11 miles of cross-country trails, two championship golf courses and an 8,000-square-foot spa. Rooms are elegantly decorated with king beds, flagstone fireplaces, triple-head showers and living areas with TV, DVD and Bose surround sound.

Now You Can Own The VHS Tape of
Patrick Smith's
Angel City
What people say about Angel City ...
"The migrant labor camps in Florida (and elsewhere) have been waiting many years for a hurricane of a novel like Angel City to lay bare the tolerated degradation of large numbers of men, women, and children. Patrick Smith has produced a chilling story of the heart-rending life of a mountaineer West virginia family finding themselves helplessly enmeshed in the existence they encountered in a South Florida migrant labor camp."
- Erskine Caldwell
"This is a story that should have been told a long time ago by someone who recognized the need to tell it. Patrick Sith had the guts to tell it, and to tell it very well indeed. I salute him.
- Richard Boone
Smith in a photo of the gate at the set of the movie, Angel City.
In the mid-1970s, after reading a newspaper article about the plight of migrant workers in south Florida, he found an issue that would absorb his spare time for several years. The newspaper told about a migrant crew chief who had enslaved his workers for more than two years, who whouldn't pay them or let them out of the camp, and who beat them regularly. The police finally arrested the crew chief and took him to court, but had to release him when none of the workers, all of whom were scared of him, would testify against him.
Smith with actor Ralph Waite on the set of Angel City.
Alarmed that such migrant camps still existed in the 1970s, Smith went to Miami and read through old newspapers, where he found a number of stories about migrants being enslaved by the crew chiefs, often without the knowledge of the owners of the fields. Smith then began spending his weekends and vacations doing what he calls "physical research." He would don scruffy clothes, let his beard grow, and show up in Homestead to join migrants picking tomatoes or okra or cucumbers or squash, whatever was in season.
Earning a meager $35 a week, sleeping in buggy hovels and trying to keep out of the frequent knife fights, he made mental notes of the sights and smells and noises. Apparently no one ever suspected that the quiet fellow with the Mississippi drawl was actually a writer.
After spending more than a year doing "research" for the novel, which he entitled Angel City, Smith wrote it in just a few weeks, so filled was he of the sordid conditions of the camps and fields. When asked why he wanted to write such a novel, Smith replies, "The first step toward eliminating injustice is to expose it, and this was my primary goal in writing this novel."
Angel City follows the course of the Teeters, a West Virginia family come to Florida to better their lives. What they find is degradation in a migrant labor camp. His expose of those camps in Angel City served its intended purpose: to bring about change. Though this novel served as a social statement, it also works as a well-told social story, a work of literary art.
The movie based on Angel City, a CBS "Movie of the Week" starring Ralph Waite, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jennifer Warren, Mitch Ryan, Robert MacNaughton and Paul Winfield, brought the story of the Teeters and the reality of migrant labor camp conditions to an even wider audience.
As interest increases in the novels of Patrick Smith, literary historians are sure to place this one near the top rank of his output.

"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra." –Former Dallas Cowboys coach, Jimmy Johnson
In their book 212 The Extra Degree, Sam Parker and Mac Anderson point out the fact that at 211-degrees, water is hot. At 212-degrees it boils. With boiling water comes steam and steam can power a locomotive. They point out that "it's the one extra degree of effort, in business and in life, that can separate the good from the great."
So, what does that mean?
It's inconvenient to go out of your way to recognize and appreciate people all day long. It's time consuming. Where in the world can you find the time to meet people for coffee or to call somebody just to tell them you are thinking about them?
The answer lies in these ten two-letter words. "if it is to be, it is up to me." You don't have to do these things.. Nobody will make you. In fact, your competition would prefer that you don't. Have you ever heard the adage, "IF you don't take care of your customers, somebody else will?" Well, it's the truth. And it hold true for your customers, your friends, your family, and even your spouse. "If you don't appreciate your people, somebody else will." And when they do, you lose.
Robin M. Hensley, author of Raising the Bar, is a business development coach specializing in coaching attorneys and CPA's who are at the top of their game, to maximize their rainmaking skills. She has built a career out of not only being an Extra-Miler, but she teaches her clients these same principles as well.
"I look for excuses to send people notes on a daily basis," said Hensley. "If I see someone at a conference and can't get across the room to speak with them, I'll send them a note to say, "I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to speak. Let's have lunch.'"
Mrs. Hensley believes that taking the extra few minutes to send an actual greeting card, as opposed to just an email, sets her apart and shows someone that she recognizes them as a human being. "A written note also shows that you're a very thoughtful and organized person."
I have found a system that easily allows me to act on my promptings to appreciate my contacts without breaking the bank. SendOutCards allows you to send someone an actual greeting card in your own handwriting and with your own signature and personal photos in just seconds and it also allows you to send gifts along with the cards, all with the ease and simplicity of a few mouse clicks.

I'm a horticulturalist. A pickaxe is used for mining and this is meant for gardening. A mattock is used to cut and destroy roots that are deep and hard to get out. The "pickaxe" side is used to sever and cut and dig out roots when the flatter thicker size is used to pull and pry, also used to hack. It's really used however it CAN be used. Everyone uses it differently but thats my take on it. I use it at my work.

Unsteady flow of liquids and gasses are important in many scientific, engineering, and biological contexts. Measurement of the characteristics of unsteady and pulsating flows is more difficult than that of static flows. Time constants of the sensors must be understood, sampling rates must satisfy basic signal processing criteria and synchronization of the measurements with the flow may be necessary. Because of development of more advanced measurement devices, there has recently been a growing interest in unsteady and pulsating flowmeasurements and the number of papers in this field has increased in recent years. This paper reviews the current state of the art in sensors and measurement techniques for the characterization of pressure and temperature in unsteady and pulsating flows including an analysis of the advantages and limitations of each technique.

Development of analytically capable time-of-flight mass spectrometer with continuous ion introduction81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3321346View Description Hide Description
The present article describes the results and findings explored in the course of the development of the analytically capable prototype of continuous time-of-flight (CTOF) mass spectrometer. Currently marketed pulsed TOF (PTOF) instruments use ion introduction with a 10 ns or so pulse width, followed by a waiting period roughly . Accordingly, the sample is under excitation in part of the total measuring time. This very low duty cycle severely limits the sensitivity of the PTOF method. A possible approach to deal with this problem is to use linear sinusoidal dual modulation technique (CTOF) as described in this article. This way the sensitivity of the method is increased, due to the 50% duty cycle of the excitation. All other types of TOFspectrometer use secondary electron multiplier (SEM) for detection, which unfortunately discriminates in amplification in favor of the lighter ions. This discrimination effect is especially undesirable in a mass spectrometric method, which targets high mass range. In CTOF method, SEM is replaced with Faraday cup detector, thus eliminating the mass discrimination effect. Omitting SEM is made possible by the high ion intensity and the very slow ion detection with some hundred hertz detection bandwidth. The electrometer electronics of the Faraday cup detector operates with amplification . The primary ion beam is highly monoenergetic due to the construction of the ion gun, which made possible to omit any electrostatic mirror configuration for bunching the ions. The measurement is controlled by a personal computer and the intelligent signal generator Type Tabor WW 2571, which uses the direct digital synthesis technique for making arbitrary wave forms. The data are collected by a Labjack interface board, and the fast Fourier transformation is performed by the software. Noble gas mixture has been used to test the analytical capabilities of the prototype setup. Measurement presented proves the results of the mathematical calculations as well as the future potentiality for use in chemical analysis of gaseous mixtures.
Response-time improved hydrothermal-method-grown ZnO scintillator for soft x-ray free-electron laser timing-observation81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3310276View Description Hide Description
For pump and probe experiments in x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) facilities, accurate timing synchronization between short-wavelength femtosecond pulses from XFELs and short optical pulses from other light sources is required. For this purpose, the response time of a hydrothermal-method-grown ZnO is improved by over one order of magnitude via intentional iron ion doping. The fluorescence rise- and decay-time constants are measured to be less than 10 and 100 ps, respectively. Owing to its intense fluorescence even for single pulse XFEL excitation, the timing jitter of the soft x-ray pulse and timing electronics are evaluated to be less than 70 ps.
Absolute spectral radiance responsivity calibration of sun photometers81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3331459View Description Hide Description
Sun photometers are designed to measure direct solar irradiance and diffused sky radiance for the purpose of atmospheric parameters characterization. A sun photometer is usually calibrated by using a lamp-illuminated integrating sphere source for its band-averaged radiance responsivity, which normally has an uncertainty of 3%–5% at present. Considering the calibration coefficients may also change with time, a regular high precision calibration is important to maintain data quality. In this paper, a tunable-laser-based facility for spectral radiance responsivity calibration has been developed at the Key Laboratory of Optical Calibration and Characterization, Chinese Academy of Sciences. A reference standard radianceradiometer, calibrated against cryogenic radiometer, is used to determine the radiance from a laser-illuminated integrating sphere source. Spectral radiance responsivity of CIMEL CE318–2 sun photometer is calibrated using this new calibration system with a combined standard uncertainty of about 0.8%. As a validation, the derived band-averaged radiance responsivity are compared to that from a Goddard Space Flight Center lamp-based sphere calibration and good agreements (difference ) are found from 675 to 1020 nm bands.
Pulse stretcher with variable pulse length for excimer laser applications81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3340879View Description Hide Description
Excimer laser systems are often combined with pulse stretchers, e.g., in lithography and Raman spectroscopy to reduce pulse peak intensities. We developed a pulse stretcher which is suited especially for pulse length dependent applications, e.g., in material research. This pulse stretcher is based on imaging and provides identical beam profiles and divergences at different pulse lengths in combination with the possibility of switching between four pulse lengths. Therefore, beam splitters are mounted onto motorized translation stages. These features are important for the characterization and development of improved optical materials for deep-ultraviolet applications. Here, two 193 nm single tube excimer lasers (Lambda Physik: LPX 240i, Cymer: ELS 5600) were evaluated concerning their combinability with an attached pulse stretcher. The wave-front radii of the ELS 5600 are dependent on repetition rate or pulse energy and are changing during warming-up. Without adapted pulse shaping, this can cause destruction of stretcher optics due to moving foci. We found that the LPX 240i could be combined easily with a pulse stretcher using beam shaping with only one cylindrical lens. We could demonstrate that stretched 193 nm laser pulses retard aging of crystals.
Highly sensitive frequency metrology for optical anisotropy measurements81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3356731View Description Hide Description
In this paper we present a novel apparatus aimed at measuring very small birefringences and anisotropies and based on frequency metrology and not on polarimetry as usual. In our experiment, a very high finesse resonant cavity is used to convert the phase difference into a resonance frequency difference, which can then be measured with very high accuracy. We describe the setup and present the results of experimental tests, which exhibited a sensitivity , allowing for the measurement of long-predicted magnetoelectro-optical effects in gases. Since the shot-noise limited sensitivity of our apparatus lies well below the state-of-the-art sensitivity, frequency metrology appears as a promising technique for small birefringence measurements.
Development of multiwavelength-range fine-resolution spectrometer for hydrogen emissions and its application to large helical device periphery plasmas81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3356730View Description Hide Description
We developed a spectrometer specialized for simultaneous observation of the hydrogen Balmer-, , lines and the Fulcher- rovibronic transition band. The spectrometer was optimized for the light input coupled by nine optical fibers having core diameters. The spectral resolutions were 0.02–0.03 nm for these wavelength ranges at the entrance slit width of . The polarization resolved spectra of these emissions from the peripheral region of large helical device(LHD)plasmas were measured simultaneously and showed the polarization dependence coming from the magnetic field in the LHDplasma.
Space-resolved extreme ultraviolet spectrometer for impurity emission profile measurement in Large Helical Device81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3299060View Description Hide Description
A space-resolved extreme ultraviolet(EUV)spectrometer working in 60–400 Å range has been developed to observe impurity emission profiles in core and edge plasmas of Large Helical Device(LHD). A flat focus is made for plane surface detector by using a varied line spacing holographic grating with an angle of incidence of 87°. An excellent spectral resolution of 0.22 Å at 200 Å is then obtained after careful adjustment of the optical components. In the profile measurement of the LHDplasmas, the toroidal resolution is important as well as the radial resolution because the magnetic surfaces of LHD quickly change when the observation chord is tilted at a slightly different toroidal location. Horizontal dispersion is therefore selected for the present spectrometer. As a result, the toroidal resolution of 75 mm is achieved at the plasma position. An enough radial resolution of 10 mm is also obtained at spatial-resolution slit width of 0.2 mm. In order to measure the full radial profile of LHDplasmas the spectrometer is placed at a distance of away from the plasma center and a backilluminated charge-coupled device with a size of is set vertical to the horizontal dispersion. Half of the LHDplasma, i.e., , can be measured along the vertical direction at horizontally elongated plasma cross section. A full vertical profile can be obtained by changing the vertical angle of the EUVspectrometer. As an example the full vertical profile of edge (312.4 Å) emission is presented. A wavelength interval of 35–65 Å can be simultaneously observed, which varies according to the wavelength to be measured. A local emission profile of (132.67 Å) is also presented after Abel inversion as a typical example of the core EUV emission. Finally, the EUVspectrometer is absolutely calibrated using EUV bremsstrahlung continuum profile in comparison with absolute values of visible bremsstrahlung continuum profile because the bremsstrahlung continuum can be easily detected in high-density discharges of LHD.
Wavefront-sensor-based electron density measurements for laser-plasma accelerators81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3360889View Description Hide Description
Characterization of the electron density in laser produced plasmas is presented using direct wavefront analysis of a probe laser beam. The performance of a laser-driven plasma-wakefield accelerator depends on the plasma wavelength and hence on the electron density. Density measurements using a conventional folded-wave interferometer and using a commercial wavefront sensor are compared for different regimes of the laser-plasma accelerator. It is shown that direct wavefront measurements agree with interferometric measurements and, because of the robustness of the compact commercial device, offer greater phase sensitivity and straightforward analysis, improving shot-to-shot plasma densitydiagnostics.
Multihit mode direct-detection laser radar system using a Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3374109View Description Hide Description
In this paper, a direct-detection laser radar system that uses a Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (GAPD) of relatively short dead time (45 ns) is described. A passively -switched microchip laser is used as a laser source and a compact peripheral component interconnect system, which includes a time-to-digital converter (TDC), is set up for fast signal processing. With both the GAPD and the TDC functioning multistop acquisition, the system operates in a multihit mode. The software for the three-dimensional visualization and an algorithm for the removal of noise are developed. It is shown that the single-shot precision of the system is and the precision is improved by increasing the number of laser pulses to be averaged so that the precision of was acquired with more than 150 laser pulses scattered from the target. The accuracy of the system is measured to be 12 cm when the energy of the emitted laser pulse varies with a factor of 7.

Absolute charge calibration of scintillating screens for relativistic electron detection81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3310275View Description Hide Description
We report on new charge calibrations and linearity tests with high-dynamic range for eight different scintillating screens typically used for the detection of relativistic electrons from laser-plasma based acceleration schemes. The absolute charge calibration was done with picosecond electron bunches at the ELBE linear accelerator in Dresden. The lower detection limit in our setup for the most sensitive scintillating screen (KODAK Biomax MS) was . The screens showed a linear photon-to-charge dependency over several orders of magnitude. An onset of saturation effects starting around was found for some of the screens. Additionally, a constant light source was employed as a luminosity reference to simplify the transfer of a one-time absolute calibration to different experimental setups.
A compact high-voltage pulse generator based on pulse transformer with closed magnetic core81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3321494View Description Hide Description
A compact high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator, based on a pulse transformer with a closed magnetic core, is presented in this paper. The pulse generator consists of a miniaturized pulse transformer, a curled parallel strip pulse forming line (PFL), a spark gap, and a matched load. The innovative design is characterized by the compact structure of the transformer and the curled strip PFL. A new structure of transformer windings was designed to keep good insulation and decrease distributed capacitance between turns of windings. A three-copper-strip structure was adopted to avoid asymmetric coupling of the curled strip PFL. When the primary capacitor is charged to 2 kV, the pulse transformer can charge the PFL to 165 kV, and the matched load can deliver a high-voltage pulse with a duration of 9 ns, amplitude of 84 kV, and rise time of 5.1 ns. When the load is changed to , the output peak voltage of the generator can be 165 kV, the full width at half maximum is 68 ns, and the rise time is 6.5 ns.
Electronic temperatures, densities, and plasma x-ray emission of a 14.5 GHz electron-cyclotron resonance ion source81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3316805View Description Hide Description
We have performed a systematic study of the bremsstrahlung emission from the electrons in the plasma of a commercial 14.5 GHz electron-cyclotron resonance ion source. The electronic spectral temperature and the product of ionic and electronic densities of the plasma are measured by analyzing the bremsstrahlung spectra recorded for several rare gases (Ar, Kr, and Xe) as a function of the injected power. Within our uncertainty, we find an average temperature of above 100 W, with a weak dependency on the injected power and gas composition. Charge state distributions of extracted ion beams have been determined as well, providing a way to disentangle the ionic density from the electronic density. Moreover x-ray emission from highly charged argon ions in the plasma has been observed with a high-resolution mosaic-crystal spectrometer, demonstrating the feasibility for high-precision measurements of transition energies of highly charged ions, in particular, of the magnetic dipole (M1) transition of He-like of argon ions.
High-voltage testing of a 500-kV dc photocathode electron gun81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3354980View Description Hide Description
A high-voltage dc photocathode electron gun was successfully conditioned up to a voltage of 550 kV and a long-time holding test for 8 h was demonstrated at an acceleration voltage of 500 kV. The dc photocathode electron gun is designed for future light sources based on energy-recovery linac and consists of a Cockcroft–Walton generator, a segmented cylindrical ceramicinsulator, guard-ring electrodes, a support-rod electrode, a vacuum chamber, and a pressurized insulating gas tank. The segmented cylindrical ceramicinsulator and the guard-ring electrodes were utilized to prevent any damage to the insulator from electrons emitted by the support-rod electrode.
Time of flight elastic recoil detection analysis with a position sensitive detector81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3356976View Description Hide Description
A position sensitive detection system based on the microchannel plate detector has been constructed and installed at the existing time of flight(TOF) spectrometer in order to perform a kinematic correction and improve the surface time/depth resolution of elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) system. The position resolution of the detector has been tested for different types of ions and anode voltages. TOF spectra of recoiled O ions from and F from were collected in coincidence with position sensitive detector signal. Kinematic correction of TOF spectra improved surface time/depth resolution by for our system; however even higher improvements could be obtained in larger solid angle TOF-ERDA systems.
Useful technique for analysis and control of the acceleration beam phase in the azimuthally varying field cyclotron81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3354981View Description Hide Description
We have developed a new technique for analysis and control of the accelerationbeam phase in the cyclotron. In this technique, the beam current pattern at a fixed radius is measured by slightly scanning the acceleration frequency in the cyclotron. The accelerationbeam phase is obtained by analyzing symmetry of the current pattern. Simple procedure to control the accelerationbeam phase by changing coil currents of a few trim coils was established. The beam phase width is also obtained by analyzing gradient of the decreasing part of the current pattern. We verified reliability of this technique with 260 MeV beams which were accelerated on different tuning condition of the cyclotron. When the accelerationbeam phase was around 0°, top of the energy gain of cosine wave, and the beam phase width was about 6° in full width at half maximum, a clear turn pattern of the beam was observed with a differential beam probe in the extraction region. Beam phase widths of ion beams at acceleration harmonics of and were estimated without beam cutting by phase-defining slits. We also calculated the beam phase widths roughly from the beam current ratio between the injected beam and the accelerated beam in the cyclotron without operating the beam buncher. Both beam phase widths were almost the same for , while phase compressions by a factor of about 3 were confirmed for .
Ultrashort high quality electron beam from laser wakefield accelerator using two-step plasma density profile81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3360927View Description Hide Description
In this paper, we first use the rf linac injector mechanism to generate ultrashort high quality electron beam from laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) with two-step plasma density profile successfully. We incorporate the physics principle in the conventional rf linac injector into the LWFA by using two-step plasma density to decrease the wavelength of the wakefield in plasma. Using this mechanism, we observe a ultrashort high quality electron beam (the rms energy spread is 1.9%, and the rms bunch length is 2 fs) in the simulation. The ultrashort intense terahertz coherent radiation (200 MW, 2 fs) can be generated with the proposed laser wakefield accelerator.
An imaging technique for detection and absolute calibration of scintillation light81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3360931View Description Hide Description
Triggered by the need of a detection system to be used in experiments of nuclear fusion in laser-generated plasmas, we developed an imaging technique for the measurement and calibration of the scintillation light yield of scintillating materials. As in such experiments, all the reaction products are generated in an ultrashort time frame, the event-by-event data acquisition scheme is not feasible. As an alternative to the emulsion technique (or the equivalent CR39 sheets) we propose a scintillating screen readout by means of a high performance charge coupled devicecamera. Even though it is not strictly required in the particular application, this technique allows the absolute calibration of the scintillation light yield.

The parameters of electron cyclotron resonance/radio-frequency hybrid hydrogen plasma adjusted by substrate arrangements81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3302534View Description Hide Description
Hybrid hydrogen plasma was formed by biasing 13.56 MHz radio-frequency (rf) power on a substrate immersed in 2.45 GHz microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma. The influences of the substrate configuration on plasma characteristics were investigated. With increasing rf self-bias voltage, electron temperature,, increases obviously in the case of the single-electrode substrate, whereas a slight change in was observed with the double-electrode substrate condition. Electron density rises almost with a same magnitude under both two substrate conditions. It exhibited that electron energy and density in ECR-rf hybrid mode could be adjusted independently by controlling rf discharge with favorable substrate configurations.
Zeeman polarimetry measurement for edge current density determination using Li-beam probe on JT-60U81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3309793View Description Hide Description
Zeeman polarimetry system using Li-beam probe has been developed for the edge current densitymeasurement in the JT-60U tokamak, which measures the polarization angle (related to the pitch angle of the magnetic field) by means of photoelastic modulators, etalons, and phase sensitive detection using digital lock-in amplifiers with the accuracy in the of . The diagnostic has 20-channel viewing chords covering the plasma peripheral region of normalized minor radius with a spatial resolution of up to . Li-beam injection with beam current of up to has been achieved. A new tuning method of the wavelength for the etalon has been demonstrated, scanning the beam acceleration voltage and keeping a beam current constant during a single shot. The peak wavelength of the etalon is adjusted in the direction to both blue- and redshifts by changing the angle of incidence and increasing the temperature, respectively. Time evolution of the edge current density profile has been determined for the current ramp experiment in the Ohmically heated discharges. In addition, the edge current density profile with the local peak of at has been identified in the H-mode plasma, which is correlated with large pressure gradient in the pedestal region.

Miley Cyrus' 5 Greatest Quotes About Former Beau Liam Hemsworth
We are still mourning the loss of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's relationship now that the two have decided to call it off. But we have to admit that while they were together, Miley had only the best—and sometimes strange—things to say about her hunky Australian. So before we say one final farewell to Miam, we take a last look at some of her greatest quotes about him.
When Miley and Liam sat down with Teen Vogue she left everyone saying "What?" when she mused: "I think we're both deeper than normal people—what they think and how they feel. He's very grateful for what he has, but he doesn't let it go to his head. I'm like that too."
She admitted that her album Can't Be Tamed was heavily inspired by Liam, especially one key song. "He likes 'Permanent December,' I think a lot, but only because it says Australia and he's Australian, so he likes that it says that," she said with a smile. "And he loves 'Tamed.' He's trying to make me teach him the [video] dance, but I refuse to do it."
While she may have liked the man on the inside, there was a time when Miley questioned his taste in clothes. "His taste is a little odd," she confessed. "I have a problem with people who wear board shorts when they're not going to the beach, and he's constantly in surf trunks," she said. "My best friend is gay, which doesn't help because he's always decked out really hot, and then I see my boyfriend, and I'm just like, 'I kinda want that one.' Even though you don't like me, I really like you."
How did Miley nab him? Well as she put it: she frolics well. "[Our first kiss] was on the first day of filming in the movie," she said. "We have this scene where we frolic in the water. So I frolic very well apparently, and after that I got to keep him."
And how did Liam win Miley's heart? Some old school chivalry. "But I met him, and he opened the door for me, and I was like, 'I have been in L.A. for three years, and I don't think any guy has actually opened the door for me.' It wasn't that he wanted the job. That's just who he is. I was like, 'Wow, that is super-impressive.' I actually turned to the director and said, 'He's got the job.' He's hot and he opened the door. Excellent."
With all this in mind, we're not sure what went wrong! But, Liley will sure be missed!
Did we forget your favorite Miley-Liam quote? What do you think about the break up? Don't forget to take one last look at the comely couple in our flipbook!

Hudson's Bay brings brands together
May 13, 2002-- Home Textiles Today,
Striving to create a more united company among its four retail formats, Hudson's Bay unveiled its corporate visual identity program recently, including a logo that replaces the one the company had used since 1962.
Part of an initiative started three years ago, the latest element of the company's strategic plan provides guidelines surrounding the use of all company references and identities to link the company's divisions, which in total have more than 500 store locations throughout Canada. The Bay, a full-line department store chain; Zellers, the mass merchant division; Home Outfitters, its kitchen, bed and bad superstore chain; and Hbc.com, its e-commerce site, all will incorporate the new corporate signature.
Last year, the program included the launch of a loyalty program, Hbc Rewards, which customers can receive in any of Hudson's Bay's formats, as well as a companywide credit card.
The new logo incorporates a more stylized crest of the familiar moose and fox design.
