Back to work for me...
Me too. Bye everyone
Yes. It is that time. Bye all.
@All- well good luck everyone. Back to work for me...
I didn't realize today was Friday the 13th. Maybe that's why things went wrong the whole week.
DrFPGA - I hope so. Too many things have either broken or not cooperated this week.
@Duane- Maybe all your bad luck has been used up already then..
@Max- Good luck!
My strories aren't really Friday the 13th stories, but this whole week as gone like that. Things breaking all over the place and supposedly easy design tasks just not working.
By Max
I bought a Ti Launchpad/CC3000 WiFi booster pack. None of the tutorials have been working for me. It seems that the board used in the tutorials is just slightly different than the one I bought. I found a thread on a forum discussing the exact issue I'm having. Someone else popped on the thread and asked: "I'm having the same problem. How did you fix it?" The original poster wrote back: "I didn't. I just gave up."
Oh, and good luck with the printer and its current problem
Bye Max
@All -- I'm going to run myself -- my 3D printer extruser has paused on it's heating cycle for some reason -- I've got to sort it out -- keep your fingers crossed for me -- C U all next week -- Max
@Duane: re Friday the 13th...
Max, re Friday the 13th: Three blown up bike tires/tubes, broken pump, three "easy" WiFi devices not working, Coffee all over the floor instead on in the pot, boards that won't take solder. It's been one of those weeks.
@Duane- We need Friday the 13th stories....
@all have to do the dishes yet again
@Max The Design Spark PCB free tool is adequate once you get used to it.
@Duane: .Max - I've tried a number of 3D CAD programs. Most recently an online web-based 3D CAD, but so far none have really made me happy.
In that case, I'm really looking forward to hearing what you think about DesignSpark Mechanical
Crusty - I thin it's available in the Lite version too, but I'm just speculating.
@All: There's also a DesignSpark PCB tool that's free -- easy to use -- very powerful -- and 100% integrated with DesignSpark Mechanical...
Max - I've tried a number of 3D CAD programs. Most recently an online web-based 3D CAD, but so far none have really made me happy.
@Duane: All of mine happened earlier this week.
Tell us more...
@Duane : is it available in the free Lite version?
I've seen a few renderings that people have made from their Eagle files. They're pretty cool, but I don't know how useful.
@Duane: I'm goint to download the DesignSpark software on Monday even though I don't have a 3D printer.
It's worth learning even if you don't have a 3D printer -- you can use it to create visualizations that you can export as JPGs or as 3D PDFs ... and then when your wife buys you a 3D printer for Christmas you will be ready to rock and roll :-)
Crusty - Eagle supposedly does have a 3D view is some way shape or form, but I've never gotten around to trying it out.
DrFPGA asked about Friday, the 13th stories - All of mine happened earlier this week.
@Duane : Does Eagle Cad offer a 3D view of the PCB board and components?
Max - Yes. It was a good meetinig - short and to the point.
I'm goint to download the DesignSpark software on Monday even though I don't have a 3D printer.
Hi again Duane -- so your meeting finished?
Hi Duane
Hi again
@Max : I really think the DesignSpark stuff is going to do it I use their PCB programme sometimes and I shall look at the 3D now
I've wanted to create 3D models and visualizations for a long time now, but never seemed to find the right software for my needs ... I really think the DesignSpark stuff is going to do it
I think you're right. But I am going to wait for you to blaze the trail. We have Solidworks in- house. It might be interesting to compare.
I heard from someone else who has some insider knowledge (but doesn;t work for Allied or RS) saying that this 3D software really is industrial strength stuff -- but that it also really is surprisingly easy to learn and use...
@Antedeluvian: I've wanted to create 3D models and visualizations for a long time now, but never seemed to find the right software for my needs ... I really think the DesignSpark stuff is going to do it
@Crusty: LOL on the fingerslips
@Max make bred read BREAD
@Max : Have just started on designing a bred prooving cabinet using Arduinio as the control module for the heaters.
dis you see my column on the free 3D design software
Indeed I did. I am also starting to feel a certain urge in my bones to try out a 3D printer. No, wait. I think it's my lumbago.
@Crusty: I find Farnells web site to be easier to use.
It's strange how one can like one site and not another, where someone else might be completely the opposite...
@Max RS Components I have used them and still do, since the catalogue hung on a nail by a string. However I find Farnells web site to be easier to use.
Antedeluvian -- dis you see my column on the free 3D design software http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1319478
Hi Antedeluvian -- I'm powering up my 3D printer for the first time as we speak
@Crusty: Though Farnell seem to be fast these days without postal costs...
What about RS Components? I was chatting to them yesterday about the free 3D design software they are making available on Monday (http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1319478&) -- it seems that they have 38,000 3D models that cover just about all the electronic and electromechanical parts in their extensive catalog (of course they have many more than 38,000 items in their catalog, but one 3D model of a 1/4 carbon resistor will cover 1,000s of components, for example.)
Hi antedeluvian
Hi guys
@Max Maplin is never cheap but do take the place of long departed tandy for an odd switch or capacitor.
Though Farnell seem to be fast these days without postal costs
@Crusty: Did you switch on the telytype and overload the office circuit LOL
No ... some dingbat actually turned the power switch off -- give me strength!!!
@Crusty: That 3D printer looks nice, but it's a bit expensive -- mine cost $499, which is just a tad over 300 UK pounds
@Max : Did you switch on the telytype and overload the office circuit LOL
Arrggghh -- some dingbat turned the power off -- now I'm starting it up again
Hang on -- let me take a peek at the 3D printer temperature...
There was a news report on the radio thsi morning saying that weddings are well down thsi year due to it being 2013 ... a lot of brides want to wait for 2014...
@Max another 3 D printer in my inbox
I have a friend in the UK who won;t go out of his house on Friday 13th
@Max- Maybe not a good day today to power up your 3d Printer...
@All: Any Fri the 13th stories today?
Hi Warren (DrFPGA)
I can's wait for that DesignSpark Mechanical (3D Design) software to become available on Monday (http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1319478&)
@Max Overcast and damp, which is to be expected now that I am taking the caravan to the wilderness around Oxford
Hi Max, Hi Crusty, Hi Junko, Hi Duane,
Hi Crusty -- how are things in England?
Thank Goodness it's Friday :-)
Hi Max
Hi Junko -- Duane just ran out to a meeting -- he says he'll be back if th emeeting ends early
Hi, guys
Meeting = Boring : EE Times Chat = Interesting
Awesome about the printer! I just have a 10:00 meeting. I'll be back if it ends early.
My 3D printer is powering up for the first time as we speak
Was it something I said?
Second - but unfortunately, I'll need to be the first to leave

Hang tight!
Recipe by TOZENUF
"My friend invented this recipe and it was so fantastic I had to share! The flavor is incredible!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 (1 ounce) package guacamole seasoning mix
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
1/2 lime, juiced
1/4 cup minced onion
8 slices ciabatta bread
1/4 cup prepared salsa, divided
4 slices Cheddar cheese
DELICIOUS! Just a head's up... Guacamole seasoning mix is in the chip aisle. I had quite a time figuring that out. I didn't tell my DH that was in it. (I knew he wouldn't eat it, he's very picky!!!) He was ranting and raving about that this is something you would get at a restaurant. Make sure you get the ciabatta bread. It is worth the extra $. Also for those that complain about it being bland, try adding a bit more of the guacamole packet, try a different brand of the guacamole packet & add a bit more lime. The lime really pops the flavor! I've used a drier lime & could definitely tell the difference. An average lime yields 2 Tblsps juice. So now I always make sure I have a healthy Tblsp full of juice. We have made this recipe countless times. Getting ready to make again. :)
First time using the guacamole seasoning, that stuff really smells bad! I left the cilantro out and used parsley instead, I hate cilantro. The ground chicken was so wet and sticky, but cooked up nicely. I don't know if the cilantro would have given this a flavor boost or not, but I didn't taste a thing, too bland.

Loved these as did my family! The guacamole seasoning mix was very easy to find in my store with all of the Ortega and Old El Paso products....I believe my mix was Ortega brand (blue packet). I used the whole lime and also the zest from the lime, I did add some chili powder, cumin, dried corriander and some dried cilantro flakes to jazz this up. Mixture is definately "wet" due to the ground chicken, I added about 1/4 c of plain bread crumbs to bind and make this easier to make into 4 nice burgers. Another tip is to lightly wet your hands with water before u make the patties....prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands. I made these in advance and placed in the fridge until dinner and then I grilled them on my Cuisinart indoor grill/griddle. Perfect and very tasty. Thanks!
This recipe was a huge hit with my family. I was so totally surprised because my kids are so picky. I followed the recipe just as it was written, although next time I will probably use less cilantro. Only because I am not a big fan of cilantro. And I did use regular hamburger buns instead of cibatta, only because I didn't have any on hand.
try topping it with the fresh mango salsa
These were awesome although I did make one change. I combined the guacamole seasoning, onion, cilantro and lime with 1 tablespoon of mayonaise then combine the mixture with the meat before forming the patties. This makes a pretty squishy patty that can be hard to grill, but if you don't turn them until they are fully cooked on each side they will come out perfect. The flavor was wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
these were pretty good, but not spectacular... the chicken needs more seasoning in my opinion. will make again, just add something more.
Delicious!! I followed the recipe exactly (except for the ciabatta, which I couldn't find - but LOVE) and they were perfect. Very moist and flavorful. It doesn't even need additional salt or pepper. My husband wasn't a fan only b/c he doesn't like any "ground poultry". I will continue making these anyways ;)

Old Brooklyn Sport Reemerges at New Brooklyn Bridge Park
Lacrosse's deepest history dates back to the Native Americans of the 1100's, and was being documented by European settlers by the 1700's. In the 1870's Canadian immigrants established clubs in the NYC area, with 4 teams regularly squaring off in the late 1870's (Ravenswood, NYU, NY Lacrosse Club and Prospect Park). (1)
In an effort to connect with the Victorian image of the "noble savage", affluent members of Brooklyn Society began taking up lacrosse in the 1870's. In a short time, with the rise of many local
Athletic Clubs, modern Lacrosse found its epicenter in Brooklyn. The New York Times reported that the 1885 season saw some 35 lacrosse games at Brooklyn's Parade Grounds alone. By 1885 there were
12 teams in NYC, with clubs from Brooklyn dominating the Lacrosse world well into the 1920's.
Unlike baseball, Lacrosse in America wasn't grounded in working-class society. Throughout the 20th Century, Lacrosse became the property of the social elite and well-educated. The last few
decades had seen a reemergence of the sport in all parts of the country. However, this growth has encountered hurdles in urban areas. Barriers such as cost, field space, perception and logistics
have stood in the way of Lacrosse flourishing in the inner cities.The Brooklyn Lacrosse Club has emerged with the mission of removing these
barriers. One of the biggest pieces of this puzzle was finding a home that supported this vision.
The termination of Old Fulton Street was the site of the original ferry linking Brooklyn to Manhattan in 1642. By the time of the American Revolution, the area around the ferry landing had been
developed as a busy marketplace with industries such as slaughterhouses, breweries, and businesses such as shops, inns and taverns.
The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 was a significant engineering feat and served as the first physical link between the independent cities of Brooklyn and New York. The site of Brooklyn Bridge Park was a thriving public waterfront through the first half of the 20th Century. However, in the 1950's, shipping in the area began a steady decline in use as New York's older port areas lost ground to container shipping and to competition from other east coast cities. (2)
"When we were planning Brooklyn Bridge Park [BBP], people kept telling us how much they wanted to be able to touch the water," says BBP's designer, landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh, recalling the hundreds of community meetings he attended in the making of this park. Simple as that request may seem, it reflects the complicated saga of our cities and their rivers. Specifically, the tale of this narrow, irregular 1.3-mile-long stretch of waterfront in Brooklyn, New York, and its barriers to neighborhood enjoyment. Though they live surrounded by water, most New Yorkers have never touched the City's East or Hudson Rivers. Like many American cities, New York long severed much of daily life, particularly leisure activity, from direct engagement with its waterways. Visitors to urban riverside parks have historically been sequestered in scenic overlooks or railed-in promenades. (3)
Today, the Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront stands ready to serve the people of Brooklyn again. Born as a ferry terminus, spending much of its life as a shipping destination, the waterfront is now poised to give Brooklyn access to nature and a more active lifestyle.
Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 5 Field Image Gallery
Access to this amazing stretch of public parkland was exactly what the Brooklyn Lacrosse Club was looking for when in search of its new home. This spot offers Brooklyn Lacrosse the chance to
remove the barriers of entry that lacrosse faces in urban areas:
- Cost - Free permitting for youth groups allows for reduced program cost
- Field space - Beautifully maintained, with amenities for the whole family
- Perception- Playing in public park creates an inviting and accessible environment
- Logistics - Within walking distance of many modes of Mass Transit, at what truly is the epicenter of New York City
We hope that you have a chance to take a look at a revitalized sport in a rejuvenated part of Brooklyn. Practices start on the weekend of March 2nd/3rd. For more information, please go to our website at www.brooklynlacrosse.org.

Night hadn't expected to find Scholar, of all ponies, in Sweet Apple Acres. Scholar grinned as Colgate gave him a hug. She hugged him back. Scholar had a saddlebag with him, which Night assumed holds the plans for the next attack.
"Hey, Night!" Scholar called to him. Night snapped out of his reverie, and nodded at him.
"Hey Scholar! Where were you earlier this afternoon? My brother and I were looking for you!"
"Ah yes, I will have to apologize for that. You see, I received intel that the griffon invasion would happen sometime today, and true enough, it was. Say, where is your brother anyway?" Night frowned. "He's….not dead isn't he?"
"What? Oh no no no, he's just been taken by the griffon soldiers outside your residence this morning. We went inside to find you, but couldn't find you anywhere. I found the crossbow and the mobile firing device you left for us, but then Luke decided to wait outside. He said it felt wrong for us to be snooping around your place while you were around. That was before I found the note saying that the crossbow was left for him and the mobile firing device was for me." Night sighed. "If only I had told him earlier…"
Night felt a pat on his shoulder, and he looked up. It was Scholar, looking at Night with disappointed eyes. "The only problem now is that that was this morning. You shouldn't let little failures bring down your future huge success." Night understood, and nodded.
Scholar set his hoof back down, and nodded. "So let's see, do you possess both the crossbow and the….mobile firing device you call it?" Night nodded. "Funny name for something so simple, don't you think? I referred to it as Shear 83. Shear because of the supershear earthquake last year when I visited the Zebra tribal lands. Apparently earthquakes are a normal occurrence over there."
Night shrugged. "Well, uh… Yes I do possess the two." Night gestured a hoof over to the table by the crates. "I had to use the Shear a few times today. It just didn't feel like killing, but I guess that's what we have to do when it all comes down to that, right?"
Scholar nodded. "I heard you and Colgate were able to liberate this Sweet Apple Acres on your own. That itself is a very big achievement right there, sixteen being a huge number and all. But I was surprised at how quickly you adapted to the situation. I mean, sure you and your brother knew that the invasion would happen sometime this week, but even a single week doesn't provide enough time for somepony to adapt to war!" He exclaimed.
Night merely shrugged. "This might wear off soon. I'm guessing it's the adrenaline."
Colgate laughed heartily. "Adrenaline doesn't last that long, my dear. They normally burn out really quick. You've got leadership in you right there."
Night shrugged again, not sure of what to say at the moment. Scholar looked at the both of them before speaking, "We've received more intel. There was a witness saying that a pony, which he said had a briefcase with him, was dragged into the local police station. I am to assume that your brother had a briefcase with him this morning. Did he?"
Night nodded. "He said that you had requested he bring something. Can't really remember much even though he told me this morning what he was bringing. So, assuming it really is him being held at the police station, what can we do?"
Scholar merely grinned and shifted his attention to Night, "Well, that's up to you to plan, leader. I'm just intel."
Night did a double take. "What?!"
Colgate giggled, "Meet intel, who gets his intel from more intel sources. Also, he just appointed you leader, which is no surprise considering how you're planner and all. And you've done a fairly exceptional job during the liberation of Sweet Apple Acres. Who's to say that you can't do the same for the police department?"
Before Night could argue, 'intel' spoke again, "Looks like this time is going to be a little bit more burdening considering now we have to liberate two locations. The town hall is where the majority of the Ponyville's residents are being held at the moment, and if you just attack the police station, the griffons would be wondering why contact with between the two locations is going unanswered." He flexed his neck. "Adding to the fact that half of the assault force is down, they're probably going to stick together now."
"But how do they know that half their assault force is down?!"
Scholar paused for a moment, as if he had just sworn in a language unknown to himself but somehow offending Night. A short moment later, he recovered his posture, and continued. "They don't. Just pondering the worst case scenario that they might be aware of half of their forces being unresponsive. Should they really be aware that half of their troops have gone AWOL, you're going to have a huge problem in your hooves."
Night said nothing, slowly thinking over the words he needed to say. He knew that Scholar was right. He had to strike two places at once, but if he did so, that meant he had to divide his limited followers as well. Colgate could take some of the followers and lead them well, yes, but what if during the attack one griffon manages to notify the remaining griffons? He had to divide his troops carefully. There was a chance of the police station having more griffons, but there was also a chance that the town hall would have more griffons.
"Scholar, do you know how many remaining griffons are there in either of those locations?" Night asked.
Scholar shrugged. "Intel isn't that good, so you're going to have to go on assumptions. If I may suggest something, why not send more followers to the town hall? Because there's a lot of residents there, chances are they're going to need a lot of firepower to keep them under control."
Night nodded, and turned to Colgate, "If that's how it's going to be, we're going to have more attacking town hall than the police department. Colgate, you mind handling the police department assault?"
Colgate shrugged, "I'm alright with anything. But if the griffons in the police department see us coming, what do we do then?"
Night went silent. He had thought the same thing. It was a police department. Police departments tend to have weapons. If Colgate went, then there's a surefire chance that they will outgun her and her group. But if he thought of it this way, should they reconquer the police department, they have access to weaponry, and quite possibly more useful equipment.
"Then move swiftly. The police department has to go down. We need the weapons and the equipment that the griffons have. Also, if we secure the police department, the griffons will have to hole up at town hall, which is where the remaining ones are."
Scholar interjected. "I'm going to go out of a limb here and say that the police department assault will be tough considering how many griffons there are going to guarding that much equipment and weapons. But that doesn't mean that that the Town Hall liberation would be that much easier either."
"Collateral damage is a bitch. So what would you suggest, sending more of us to town hall instead of the police station?"
Scholar shook his head. "I do not have the power to decide that, you do. If the police department is the source of weaponry and equipment, there's a chance that they'll be using it against anypony who dare step in. But, considering how well you've done with Colgate this afternoon, why not give it a shot?"
Night tilted his head and stared at Scholar. "Are you mad? Who's going to lead the group to town hall if it's just me and Colgate going to attack the police department?"
Scholar said nothing. Night went over to the table with his weapons and took the crossbow. He handed it over to Scholar. "I've been wanting to know if you could make extra of these. They're good."
Scholar nodded, and spoke, "Ammunition for this isn't a weapon. It's just the gas canister that's the problem. One shot through the canister and it's as good as useless."
"I doubt anypony could get close enough to destroy the canister considering how that thing basically rips shit to shreds once you fire. But there's no guarantee about now isn't there? Can you try making stronger canisters?"
Scholar nodded. "In which case, I excuse myself. It's already nearing midnight, and I want to get back to the sewer base for the time being. I'll see you when the time comes. Good luck and have fun." He chuckled, and left the barn.
Night sighed after Scholar left, "Well Colgate, you're going to need to use a different crossbow this time."
Colgate pouted, "Fine. But the griffons crossbow is rather useless compared to the one you use."
"It was never intended for me to use in the first place anyway. I'll be fine with my mobile firing device." Night went over to check his Shear 83. The belts being fed into the device had 53 and 52 rounds respectively. How one of the guns had one round less than the other, Night had no idea. But still the rounds would be sufficient for the liberation of the police department.
"Colgate, you mind if I just bring one pony to the police department? Minimize our losses should anything happen, and you know very well I can handle myself."
Colgate nodded. "You can handle yourself fine, problem is, how will the other pony handle himself?"
"Herself." Night corrected, and laughed when Colgate pouted, "I'm guessing Carrot Top is a bad choice for this sort of attack?"
Colgate shook her head. "Oh no, she's a rebel when given the chance. She wants really badly for Ponyville to be liberated, and would stop at nothing to see such a victory occur."
Night smiled. "In that case, inform Carrot Top to get here and arm herself. We're going to have to attack quickly. How many do you plan to bring with you to town hall?"
Colgate thought over it, guessing the amount of griffons and the amount of liberators needed for the job. Suddenly both of Night and Colgate's transmitters crackled. It was Scholar.
"Intel suggests that there are six griffons in the police station and the remaining at Town Hall watching over the residents." His voice echoed. No doubt he was still navigating his way through the sewers.
"Alright, thanks Scholar, keep us posted."
The crackle disappeared, and the two ponies looked at each other. "Well that's rather convenient." Colgate said. "I'm going to bring three others with me and hope that things go well. We have extra equipment should we need them later."
Night glanced off to side of the barn, and saw a machete. "This could be useful. Ask Carrot Top to use whatever weapon she favours. If we're uneasy about our weapons, this would jeopardize the whole assault."
The two of them glanced to a wall clock and saw that it was midnight already. Colgate nodded, and turned her transmitter on. "Colgate to SB1, copy."
A crackle was heard, and a voice went through. "Ah, hello Colgate. How are things going along?"
"Good midnight Doctor Whooves, and things are going well with the planning. We need Carrot Top and three others to join us in our next assault."
"Hm... three others? Who would you want those three others to be?"
"Anypony, but preferably one that has had experience with a weapon." his mind flashed upon the gunpowder inside the crates.
"Colgate, I was just wondering, if it weren't any trouble, could you fuse the dart heads of my mobile firing device? Explosive darts could be useful here."
Colgate shrugged. "Whatever helps, I guess. How much does one need in a dart anyway?"
Night decided to up the ante a little. "A hundredth of a gram should be sufficient explosive power. The last time me and my brother tried using explosive darts, they were a thousandth of a gram, and those things sting." A wound two centimeters could kill if it hit a critical spot. But with the charge being ten times larger, I doubt that I'll need a critical hit to kill anypony.
Colgate separated some of the gunpowder on the table, and divided the powder into the agreed amount. Little bits of the gunpowder floated and landed onto the the heads of the darts and were enveloped in a blue wave of magic before disappearing.
"Thanks Colgate."
She shrugged, gesturing that he didn't need to thank her.
Night put on his Shear 83 and went outside to test out the lethality of the new darts. He aimed one of the guns at the bark of the tree and fired. The explosion that happened upon impact knocked a hole a foot wide and ten centimeters deep. Both the jaws of Colgate and Night dropped as reality finally returned to them.
Night snickered, "This is going to be good."

Finding those compounds wouldn't prove the existence of life, either, because they can come from other sources. But the appearance of organic molecules would suggest that the environment is good at preserving them.
The release of chlorine and oxygen when the rover heated up soil suggests the presence of a chemical called perchlorate, at a 0.5% level in the soil, Leshin said. This substance can destroy organic carbon in a chemical reaction when the rover heats up soil. And so far, Curiosity has not directly detected organics in the soil.
Potentially the rover could avoid this problem using alternative techniques, which wouldn't heat the soil so much that perchlorates break down.
"Perchlorate is reacting with some organic compound to produce these simple molecules," Grotzinger said. "It leaves us asking the question: Is this from Mars, or is it something we brought with us? And right now we don't know."
Perchlorate in the planet's abundant dust could present a toxicity problem to humans on Mars; on Earth, it's known to cause thyroid problems, Leshin said.
The dust could generally pose a health problem as well -- both physically interfering with respiration and being a chemical hazard. Mars is known to have massive dust storms.
"It's one of the significant concerns to human exploration," Webster said.
Still no methane
Scientists are interested in whether Mars has methane gas, which could be an indicator of the planet's habitability. About 90% to 95% of the methane in Earth's atmosphere is biologically derived, said Sushil Atreya, a University of Michigan researcher and co-investigator for SAM, said in November 2012.
But the rover still has not detected methane gas, as scientists noted in Science earlier in September.
Even if there were methane, nonbiological sources such as volcanic activity can produce it.
It's still possible that methane will turn up in future measurements, however, Webster said.
Where it's going now
Curiosity is about one-fifth of the way to Mount Sharp, its final destination, where it will climb while testing the peak's sedimentary layers that have formed over time. Mount Sharp is 3.4 miles high, and its rock layers represent a series of chapters of the planet's history and the environmental conditions present in various eras.
Along the way, the rover stopped at a location called Waypoint 1, where scientists found a conglomerate rock that would have been found in an ancient stream bed. The rock with the pebbles has strange veins, filled with material that scientists don't quite understand.
"The implication of that is that again we're seeing the involvement of water, and it looks like this water was very widespread across the landing area," Grotzinger said.
It appears that the river would have extended from the rover's landing site all the way to Waypoint 1. The entire area that Curiosity has been driving across would have been covered by a stream bed, at one point or another, in the ancient history of Mars.
Curiosity isn't the only moving human-made object on Mars. The Opportunity rover, which launched in 2004, is still chugging along.
In 2020, NASA plans to send an even more advanced rover to "explore and assess Mars as a potential habitat for life, search for signs of past life, collect carefully selected samples for possible future return to Earth, and demonstrate technology for future human exploration of the Red Planet."
NASA recently announced a competition for proposals of what instruments the 2020 rover could carry.
It, too, may get humans closer to drinking water, and possibly even showering, on Mars.

To greet someone in Vietnam, you generally shake hands with two hands and bow your head slightly to show respect. But there are different greetings for different people, such as family members.
Bow to elderly people who do not extend their hand and do not shake hands with women; they generally prefer to exchange greetings with a slight bow of the head.
Do not greet Vietnamese people by joining your hands in 'prayer position' and bowing. This is the standard greeting in Thailand, as well as in Laos, Cambodia and India, but not in Vietnam. Vietnamese people use this gesture only at the pagoda.
Shaking hands with only one hand, as in the West, is becoming more common in Vietnam, although it is still a predominantly male custom.
Do not try to kiss people on the cheek. They will back away from you.

Targeted to energy and process, engineering and construction, and technology supply industries, the AVESTARTM Center aims to develop a workforce well-prepared to operate, control, and manage next-generation power plants with carbon capture. The Center also promotes NETL's outreach mission by offering hands-on simulator training and education to researchers and university students. Current training and research objectives will help meet aggressive NETL program goals for advanced integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power stations capable of 90% pre-combustion CO2 capture, as well as low sulfur, mercury, and NOx emissions.
The AVESTARTM Center offers a full-scope, high-fidelity, real-time dynamic simulator with operator training system (OTS) for a commercial-scale IGCC plant with CO2 capture and compression. The simulator builds on, and reaches beyond, existing combined-cycle and conventional-coal power plant simulators to combine--for the first time--a "gasification with CO2 capture" process simulator with a "combined-cycle" power simulator together in a single dynamic simulation framework.
The plant design uses slurry-fed, entrained-flow gasification technology with CO2 capture based on a dual-stage, physical solvent-based acid gas removal (AGR) process for H2S and CO2 capture. The combined cycle uses advanced F-class gas turbines and a triple pressure-level heat recovery steam generator (HRSG)/steam cycle.
The IGCC Dynamic Simulator handles normal base load operation, complete cold, warm, and hot startups, normal shutdown, load shedding and following, and fuel switching. The dynamic simulator also handles emergency shutdowns and other abnormal situations in real-time, including equipment malfunctions and failures.
NETL planned, developed, tested, and deployed the IGCC dynamic simulator in collaboration with energy experts from West Virginia University, Fossil Consulting Services, Invensys Operations Management, and other industry and university partners.
AVESTAR's IGCC training and research programs are up and running at state-of-the-art simulation facilities located at NETL in Morgantown, WV and at West Virginia University's (WVU) National Research Center for Coal and Energy (NRCCE). Click for more details on the AVESTAR Center including a list of upcoming training courses.
Ongoing work is aimed at developing an IGCC immersive training system (ITS) based on innovative 3-D virtual reality technology. When combined with the OTS, the ITS will extend the training scope to both control room and field operators, allowing them to work as a team. Benefits include improved communication and collaboration among work crews, off-line evaluations of procedures, and training for safety-critical tasks. NETL's AVESTAR Center offers hands-on, scenario-based training on the IGCC ITS.
Looking forward, NETL will continue to build AVESTAR's portfolio of dynamic simulators, ITSs, and advanced research capabilities to satisfy industry's growing need for training and experience with the operation and control of high-efficiency, near-zero emission energy plants.

Higashi is inspired by heihachi maybe? (Tekken series)
He always looked like a fat version of him to me :p
Oldmandorf, we all know that the artist liked big breasts. This has nothing to do with the topic, and I would personally like to see you banned from Kongai for a while, on account that you are to immature to possibly be thirteen. I'm guessing around nine.
Also, to any admins, I would apprieciate it if you would remove his comments and remind him that posting on topic is a requirement.
Not definite origins, but the name "Cain" from Cain Solomon is probably taken from the Biblical story of Cain and Abel, in which Cain gave in to evil and murdered Abel.
Also, "Onimaru" might be a play on the Onimusha video game franchise, which revolves around samurai.
Oh I love Kane and Abel's story (Even though I'm a non-believer)
It's funny how the Church Demonizes Cain, But I'm going off topic.
Onimaru could also refer to Yoshimitsu, from Tekken. Both are robotic samurais (or something similar)
Sirlin is a known Guilty Gear and Street Fighter player, and several references have snuck in, including my personal favorite, Popo being a Bridget.
Cornelius Constantine is Slayer from Guilty Gear
Proof: Gentleman-like appearance and a move called pilebunker.
I can't believe you guys haven't caught this yet though: Phoebe is definitely Ivy from Soul Calibur. The (lack of) clothes and whip give it all away.
EDIT: Rumiko could be Ibuki from Street Fighter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibuki
I updated on the first page. Keep em coming. Also, links or pictures helps a lot!
Onimaru Is inspired by Yoshimitsu I think
Helene is pretty blatantly similar to Cassandra/Sophitia from Soul Calibur.
I think yo missed this in my last post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_(Soul_Calibur)
Phoebe is Ivy.
I would say that Onimaru is inspired by Yoshimitsu. Tekken lover here…XD.
UPDATE: (unofficial – this one will not be updated)
Highly Plausable:
Anex as Xena (greg kinda confirmed)
Voss as Blade (greg kinda confirmed)
Yoshi as Ruy
Cornilius as Slayer
Ubantu as Richard Stallman (could become highly with more investigation)
Onimaru as ??? (two possibilities, I need one to move it up)
Debunked (Currently, but anything may change)
Rumiko as Ibuki (I need more convincing, too many other options)
Pheobe as Ivy (sorry, i'm gonna need more than a half naked chick with a whip to call this plausable)
Helene as Cassandra or Sophitia (again, there is no shortage of half naked women with swords)
Cain as Kain (I don't see anything concrete)
Higashi as Heihachi
- – -
Reasoning behind Ivy, Cassandra, Sophitia: These are popular characters yes, but are they Pheobe and Helene, not really. Keep in mind that Helene has "inner demons" and that there are no real indications that Helene and Pheobe were drawn from these particular characters, especially since some characters don't really have all that specific of an inspiration. There are plenty of half naked women with swords in video games, manga, and literatue. I'll need more than the popularity of one to call it plausable. Dig deeper.
Reasoning behind Kain: First off, other than a name comprised of two biblical names (Cain, Solomon) there is nothing biblical about Cain the card. Vampirism and football are not in the bible. If I were to venture a guess, I would say that the quarterback is a much stronger indication of the orgins. Second off, the names are too simmilar.
Onimaru would fit more into the Onimusha theory more than the Yoshimitsu theory IMO, but it could be possible that both theories could be somewhat correct. No one said a Kongai character must have only 1 inspiration behind it.
Also, the Ivy theory might be a little more plausible if you consider that Pheobe's and Ivy's hair color and style are exactly the same.
Vampirism and football are not in the bible. If I were to venture a guess, I would say that the quarterback is a much stronger indication of the orgins.
I guess they just love American football.
I canned the onimusha theory because I could find no character that closely resembled Onimaru. In fact, the americanization of the samuris was… deeply depressing.
Edit: I'll sleep on moving Ivy up to plausable.
Also, I'm pretty sure Popo isn't Bridget…. Popo doesn't use a yoyo, he/she isn't clearly drawn as a specific gender (personally, I call female due to what appears to be very small breasts, but who knows), the hair is different, and… well, there aren't ANY similarities.
Not every Kongai character can be traced back to Soul Caliber. Please do research, not all the refrences are going to be to popular sources.
uh… I was expecting you to say Street Fighter or Guilty gear, but okay :P
Ivy can attack at long range, and Phoebe's a far range specialist.
Cassandra and Sophitia. I dunno, they do look like they fight like you'd think helene would.
Marquis Le Morte could just be a generic undead French nobleman, but is probably influenced by the Marquis de Sade. Besides having the same title, they are both corrupt, sadistic, and have the tendency to escape death.
I can't believe you guys haven't caught this yet though: Phoebe is definitely Ivy from Soul Calibur.
Alison mentioned Phoebe as being like Elena from Street Fighter, which I think is more likely:
Now that you mentioned Marquis, that does sound like him.
Popo, apart from gender issues, he/she does remind me of David with the slingshot and all.
Looks like a stick than a whip.
Ivy doesn't really use a whip either. It's more of an sword that extends. The hair seems pretty similar, also.
I'm just really not seeing the Phoebe/Ivy similarities enough to think that Ivy is the inspiration.
It could be an inspiration of different character forged into 1.
This character from Seijuu Sentai Gingaman is even called Onimaru.
Popo = Kid with slingshot
Bart Simpson = Kid with slingshot
I've found it.

Prejudice is to dislike someone because of something they've done. It is also an opinion that is not from an actual experience that the person has had. A long time ago white American people were very prejudiced toward the African American. But now there is no segregation and everyone has equal rights.

Known as North Korea's "Dear Leader," Kim Jong-Il succeeded his father as the country's premier in 1994, and led the communist party until his death in 2001.
Little is known about Kim Jong-il's early life, and what is known comes from official North Korean Government documents and a cult of personality, meaning his life is told in a way that promotes his leadership. Known as "dear leader," he controlled North Korea with an iron fist until his death in December 2011, when he was succeeded by his son, Kim Jong-Un.

Ruthless, corrupt and crazy. Many of the world's dicators started out as charismatic young leaders, with a large measure of support from their countrymen—only to become bloated with power and abandon the principles they had pledged to uphold. These leaders held on to power by rigidly enforcing control, intimidating opposition and instilling fear among citizens. With access to unlimited power and riches, many developed secretive personal lives and bizarre habits. These dictators terrorized their people, and mesmerized the world, with their bizarre sayings, styles, and actions.

This summer, Bones creator Hart Hanson did something he hates doing: He gave viewers a huge spoiler.At Comic-Con in July, Hanson told thousands of gathered fans that -- despite the Season 8 cliff-hanger that saw Booth (David Boreanaz) turn down a long-awaited proposal from Brennan (Emily Deschanel) because of a threat from serial killer Christopher Pelant (Andrew Leeds) — Booth and Brennan will be getting married this season. "It was a sad enough season-ender that we wanted to tell people, 'You know what? This works out alright,'" Hanson tells TVGuide.com.Fall Preview: Get scoop on your favorite returning showsAs such, crafting the Season 9 premiere (Monday at 8/7c, Fox), which takes place a few months after where the finale left off, became a bit tricky. After all, before that happy day comes, Booth and Brennan have to work through the consequences of Booth's lie. "We had to figure out: 'How do we continue telling the story of these two people in an honest way?'" executive producer Stephan Nathan says... read more
Mortality is definitely on Dr. Brennan's mind on the Season 8 finale of Bones. After watching Cam (Tamara Taylor) almost lose her boyfriend on the Fox drama's penultimate episode, Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is more focused than ever on making sure Booth (David Boreanaz) comes home alive at the end of the day. "The outbreak put a seed in Brennan's mind about how delicate our lives are," Deschanel tells TVGuide.com. "She can't help but internalize ... how devastating it would be to lose Booth.

<< IBExpert Options menu | IBExpert | Editor Options >>
Environment Options
Environment Options can be found in the IBExpert Options menu. It enables the user to organize his IBExpert working environment as he wishes. It is possible, for example, to set certain defaults for editors and specific menu items, alter colors or the system font, etc.
The Preferences window allows the user to specify certain general preferences or defaults.
These include:
(1) User interface
The pull-down list offers the options MDI or SDI.
The user interface is the connection between the machine and the user, i.e. the way the software is presented to the user on-screen. The user interface enables the user to use the program and manipulate data.
Under the IBExpert Options menu item, Environment Options, the user interface can be defined as SDI (Single Document Interface) or MDI (Multiple Document Interface).
When altering the user interface from SDI to MDI and vice versa, IBExpert needs to be restarted for the change to take effect.
(2) Interface language
The default language is English. The pull-down list offers the following alternative languages:
- Czech
- Dutch
- English
- French
- German
- Hungarian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Romanian
- Russian
- Spanish
Should you not be able to see the full list of languages in the drop-down list, either delete the ibexpert.lng
file or rename the english.lng
file, found in the IBExpert Languages directory, to ibexpert.lng
, and place this in the main IBExpert directory.
You can customize or update your language using the IBExpert Tools menu item, Localize IBExpert.
(3) Default server version
If the same database version is used for all projects, it is advisable to set a default version here. This saves having to enter the database server version every time a database is registered. The pull-down list offers the following database versions:
- Unknown (default)
- Firebird 1.0
- Firebird 1.5
- Firebird 2.0
- Firebird 2.1
- Firebird 2.5
- Firebird 3.0*
- InterBase 5.x
- InterBase 6.1
- InterBase 6.5
- InterBase 7.0
- InterBase 7.1
- InterBase 7.5
- InterBase 2007
- InterBase 2009
- Yaffil 1.0
Firebird 3.0 databases can be registered since IBExpert version 2013.10.08.
(4) Default character set
The default character set is the character set defined when creating the database, and applicable for all areas of the database unless overridden by the domain or field definition. It controls not only the available characters that can be stored and displayed, but also the collation order. If not specified, the parameter defaults to NONE, i.e. values are stored exactly as typed.
Please refer to Default character set for further information.
The following character sets are currently available:
(5) Default client library
The GDS32.DLL
is dependent upon the database server. Firebird has, in addition to this, its own library, FBCLIENT.DLL
. The GDS32.DLL
is however also included for compatibility reasons. When working with Firebird, or different Firebird/InterBase® server versions, the DLL can be selected here, as wished; simply click the Open File icon to the right of this field, to select the library required.
The Script Executive always uses this default client library unless it is overriden using the SET CLIENTLIB
command directly in the Script Executive editor.
(6) Localize form shortcut
Here you can specify your own shortcut for opening the Localizing Form, if you do not wish to use the default [Ctrl + Shift + Alt + L]. The Localizing Form displays all functions and the respective key combinations, which can also be customized. Please refer to Localizing Form for further information.
Check options
The following features can be checked or unchecked as wished:
(7) Don't Show Splash Screen: disables the IBExpert Splash Screen displayed whilst IBExpert is being loaded.
(8) Disable multiple instances of IBExpert: when checked this option ensures that IBExpert is only opened once.
(9) Restore desktop after connect: if this option is checked, IBExpert will restore all those forms left open as the last connection was ended, when it reconnects to the database.
(10) Maximize first child window: the first Editor/window opened is automatically expanded to fill the maximum screen area. This option is only available in the MDI version.
(11) Autohide DB Explorer when inactive: this option hides the DB Explorer automatically, if it is not focused. In other words, when the mouse is held over the left area, the DB Explorer appears; when the mouse is removed to begin work in an editor or child window, the DB Explorer is blended out, offering a larger work area.
Some users find it annoying to be constantly asked for confirmation, whether or not they really want to carry out an operation. This window allows the user to specify, which confirmations he considers wise.
The following options are available:
- Confirm object (or documentation) saving: if this option is checked, IBExpert will request confirmation before saving object modifications or descriptions.
- Confirm exit from editor (if object is changed): if this option is checked, IBExpert will request confirmation, if alterations have been made, before exiting from an object editor.
- Confirm object dropping (recommended): if this option is checked, IBExpert will request confirmation before dropping any database object.
- Confirm exit: if this option is checked, IBExpert will request confirmation before closing IBExpert.
- Confirm successful compilation: (recommended) if this option is checked, IBExpert displays a dialog, showing whether compilation was successful or not.
- Confirm closing of all windows
- Confirm commit/rollback transaction: (recommended) this option determines whether a message box appears, asking for confirmation when a user commits or rolls back active transactions in the SQL Editor, Table Editor, View Editor or Stored Procedure Editor.
- When there is an active transaction in form to be closed: this option allows you to control which default action should be taken when closing an active transaction. By default IBExpert asks for your choice for each active transaction when you close a form. Now you can select from the options Let me choose an action, Commit or Rollback.
The Tools page allows the user to specify the following for all tools if wished:
- Autogrant privileges when compiling procedures, triggers and views: this saves the repetitive task of autogranting privileges on the Grants page of the object editors each time a new procedure, trigger or view is created, and prevents the problems which inevitably arise should the assignment of rights be forgotten.
- Revoke existing privileges: if this option is enabled, an object's (stored procedure, trigger, view) existing privileges will be deleted before granting it new privileges.
- Inplace Objects Editors: this item applies to the so-called editors within editors.
For example, the Table Editor is active and a trigger is selected on the Trigger page: if this option is not checked, an SQL Editor window appears automatically in the lower part of the Table Editor, displaying the trigger code, but not allowing any changes to be made. When this option is however checked, a simple click on a trigger automatically opens the Trigger Editor in this lower area, enabling work to be done on it, without having to leave the Table Editor and opening the Trigger Editor.
DB Explorer
Here it is possible to specify whether database object descriptions should be displayed or not (this only makes sense if object descriptions are entered by the user), and whether double-click expanding (for the DB Explorer tree) is desired. Further options include a check-box option to allow filtering of inactive database nodes and a drop-down list for the specification of the tab position of the Database Explorer pages.
Furthermore, colors may be specified for the following:
- system objects
- database folders
- database folder containing active DB
- inactive triggers
SQL Editor
The following options may be user-defined for the SQL Editor:
- Fetch All: when this option is checked, all records corresponding to the query will be extracted from the table and displayed on the Results page, as opposed to only those displayed that are visible in the Results area, when this option is left unchecked.
- Go to Results page after executing: this option is only worth checking of course if you have specified Separate Results page (see below).
- Clear editor after successful execution of DDL statement: this clears the results page after the query has been committed.
- Separate Results page: turn this option off to place SQL query results directly below the code editor, or activate it to display query results on a separate page (found directly to the right of the Edit page).
The following set of options control the behavior of the SQL Editor's Query Manager, when multiple instances of the SQL Editor are started:
- Synchronize text of active query in opened SQL Editors immediately when the second, third etc. SQL Editor starts
- Use next existing query set
- Create a new query set when there are no more inactive query sets
- Create a new empty query in query set used by this SQL Editor
SQL Script Options
The SQL Script Options page offers the following user specifications:
- Abort Script on Error: the script execution is halted the moment an error is detected.
- Rollback on Abort: the script is automatically rolled back the moment an error is detected in the script. This option is only possible, if the first item, Abort Script on Error, is already selected.
- Fire event blocks: added in IBExpert version 2012.11.15. (Refer to the Script Executive's Options page for further information.)
Here it is possible for the user to specify the system (i.e. IBExpert) font name and size. The Sample Text 12345
displays the specified font as it will appear in IBExpert.
Here certain additional data, metadata and script default transaction properties may be defined for the server connection.
These are all Firebird/InterBase® API terms, and may be checked as wished.
Data Transaction Properties:
- Snapshot
- Read Committed
- Read-Only Table Stability
- Read-Write Table Stability
Metadata Transaction Properties:
- Snapshot
- Read Committed
- Read-Only Table Stability
- Read-Write Table Stability
Script Transaction Properties:
- Snapshot
- Read Committed
- Read-Only Table Stability
- Read-Write Table Stability
Here a range of options are available, applicable for all data grids:
Check boxes for the following options:
- Stripy Grids: makes reading wide lines of data rows easier.
- Scrollbars tracking
- Show text blobs as memo: The memo option enables the blob to be easily read by simply focusing the cursor over the blob field.
- Immediate editor: Enables immediate editing in the data grid by simply placing the cursor on a field, as opposed to having to first double-click on the field, in order to edit it.
- Allow records grouping: When this option is checked, an additional gray bar appears above the column headers over the grid. A column header simply needs to be dragged 'n' dropped into this area, to group by the selected column. A reorganized data view appears, where the group contents can be revealed or hidden, by clicking on the '+' or '-' buttons. Please note that this is not the same as the data grid right-click menu item Group Fields/Ungroup Fields.
- Enable tooltips: when checked, this option displays the full field contents when the cursor is held over a particular field, if the column width is not sufficient to display all information. This is useful, if tables with many columns and long field contents need to be scanned.
- Enable navigation using [Tab] and [Shift + Tab] keys
- Allow multiselect: allows multiple data sets to be selected for editing (e.g. copying). If this is not checked, it is only possible to select one data set at a time. The change of mode can be recognized by the form/shade of the arrow on the left when pointing at a selected data set.
- Full refresh (close and open dataset) when Refresh button clicked
Furthermore it is possible to specify the exact representation of a NULL
and NOT NULL
fields. The default value is displayed as <null> (in red). NOT NULL
fields can be displayed as bold text or be highlighted with color.
Here the user can specify the colors for different elements in the grids:
- Grid Background
- Current Row
- Odd Rows
Display Formats
These options allow the user to specify the display format in grids for INTEGER
and DATE/TIME
Further options include a check box option for Use field scale, which allows a field definition to override these standard specifications, and an option to specify the String fields' width for characters.
The following lists the various date and time formatting options available.
Date Time Formats
The following format allows you to alter the way the date and time is displayed. Please note that this does not alter the way this information is stored, only the way it is displayed.
Date time format strings specify the formatting of date-time values (such as TDateTime
) when they are converted to strings. Date time format strings are passed to formatting methods and procedures (such as FormatDateTime
), and are also used to set certain global variables (such as ShortDateFormat
They are composed from specifiers that represent values to be inserted into the formatted string. Some specifiers (such as d
), simply format numbers or strings. Other specifiers (such as /
) refer to local-specific strings from global variables.
In the following table specifiers are given in lower case. Case is ignored in formats, except for the am/pm
and a/p
Specifier Displays
c | Displays the date using the format given by the ShortDateFormat global variable, followed by the time using the format given by the LongTimeFormat global variable. The time is not displayed if the date-time value indicates midnight precisely. |
d | Displays the day as a number without a leading zero (1-31 ). |
dd | Displays the day as a number with a leading zero (01-31 ). |
ddd | Displays the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat ) using the strings given by the ShortDayNames global variable. |
dddd | Displays the day as a full name (Sunday-Saturday ) using the strings given by the LongDayNames global variable. |
ddddd | Displays the date using the format given by the ShortDateFormat global variable. |
dddddd | Displays the date using the format given by the LongDateFormat global variable. |
e | Displays the year in the current period/era as a number without a leading zero (Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese locales only). |
ee | Displays the year in the current period/era as a number with a leading zero (Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese locales only). |
g | Displays the period/era as an abbreviation (Japanese and Taiwanese locales only). |
gg | Displays the period/era as a full name. (Japanese and Taiwanese locales only). |
m | Displays the month as a number without a leading zero (1-12 ). If the m specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed. |
mm | Displays the month as a number with a leading zero (01-12 ). If the mm specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed. |
mmm | Displays the month as an abbreviation (Jan-Dec ) using the strings given by the ShortMonthNames global variable. |
mmmm | Displays the month as a full name (January-December ) using the strings given by the LongMonthNames global variable. |
yy | Displays the year as a two-digit number (00-99 ). |
yyyy | Displays the year as a four-digit number (0000-9999 ). |
h | Displays the hour without a leading zero (0-23 ). |
hh | Displays the hour with a leading zero (00-23 ). |
n | Displays the minute without a leading zero (0-59 ). |
nn | Displays the minute with a leading zero (00-59 ). |
s | Displays the second without a leading zero (0-59 ). |
ss | Displays the second with a leading zero (00-59 ). |
z | Displays the millisecond without a leading zero (0-999 ). |
zzz | Displays the millisecond with a leading zero (000-999 ). |
t | Displays the time using the format given by the ShortTimeFormat global variable. |
tt | Displays the time using the format given by the LongTimeFormat global variable. |
am/pm | Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays am for any hour before noon, and pm for any hour after noon. The am/pm specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result is displayed accordingly. |
a/p | Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays a for any hour before noon, and p for any hour after noon. The a/p specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result is displayed accordingly. |
ampm | Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays the contents of the TimeAMString global variable for any hour before noon, and the contents of the TimePMString global variable for any hour after noon. |
/ | Displays the date separator character given by the DateSeparator global variable. |
: | Displays the time separator character given by the TimeSeparator global variable. |
'xx'/"xx" | Characters enclosed in single or double quotes are displayed as-is, and do not affect formatting. |
To format the date as month, day, year and the time as am or pm, simply enter the following on the Display Formats page:
Simply alter DateTime Fields to: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm am/pm: and Time Fields to hh:mm:ss am/pm
Additional Help
The Additional Help window allows the user to add certain additional help files. This is particularly useful for incorporating the help files of third party components, installed in the IBExpert PlugIns menu or the IBExpert Tools menu item, External Tools.
An additional menu item is automatically inserted in the IBExpert Help menu, for each of these help files.
See also:
Additional Help Files
Additional Tools
The Additional Tools dialog allows the user to add certain additional third party tools. Once additional tools have been uploaded here, an extra menu item, External Tools, appears in the IBExpert Tools menu, allowing the user to quickly open his third party tools directly from IBExpert.
Disabled Names
This page can be used to define a list of disabled object names.
IBExpert refers to this list, when new database objects (and fields) are created, and publishes a warning if the new name corresponds to any name in this list.
Names that should be avoided because they are Firebird keywords, such as ORDER
and START
(Firebird 2.1) do not need to be added to this list, as they are automatically generated by IBExpert with the necessary quotation marks ("
). If you wish to avoid metadata names in quotation marks, these words need to be typed with the quotation marks in the list of disabled names (see illustration above).
This dialog is important, to specify which file types IBExpert should recognize and associate with the Firebird/InterBase® database. The check list includes the following suffixes:
IBExpert Direct
The IBExpert Direct dialog allows the user to specify a number of options concerning this IBExpert menu item found in the Help menu. The IBExpert configuration window can be started either from the IBExpert Options menu item, Environment Options or alternatively directly from the IBExpert Help menu item, IBExpert Direct, using the respective icon:
The options available include the following:
(1) Automatically poll network: this is recommended, as IBExpert Direct is an important information source, informing all users of news concerning IBExpert, such as new versions, documentation, downloads, plugins, forums, as well as contact addresses and a direct link to the IBExpert home page, http://ibexpert.net/ibe/.
(2) The polling interval in days can be user-specified. Check boxes allow the user to specify whether IBExpert Direct should (3) automatically shown on refresh, or whether (4) the network should be polled for new items, each time IBExpert is started.
(5) The Last update field is purely a display field, showing the last time the network was polled for new IBExpert Direct news items.
(6) It is also possible to specify a proxy server if necessary, with fields for specification of the proxy address, port, user name and password.
(7) The last field displays the IBExpert Direct link address for IBExpert to internally download the file.
IBExpert User Database
The complete IBExpert configuration and work is stored here in the IBExpert User Database. The user database should always be used for your main storage for security reasons. It is also possible to store SQL scripts in the IBExpert User Database. These scripts can then be viewed and opened using the Scripts/Blocks page in the DB Explorer.
The following information is required in order to create a new user database. After checking the Allow User Database checkbox the following fields need to be completed:
- User Database Connection String: e.g. If you're using local server the connection string should be as follows:
(for a TCP/IP protocol) or justc:\mydata\ibexpert.fdb
(for a local protocol). - User Name (default:
). - Password (
). - Client Library File including path and file name.
- Check box: Store Project View Data in User Database
The user database can then be created and initialized using the Create and Init User Database button, and then registered using the IBExpert Database menu item, Register Database.
If you wish to store the IBExpert User Database on a network drive, we recommend the following procedure: move the client library file, fbembed.dll
, from the IBExpert subdirectory, \IBEUDB
to a location of your own choice (but without the localhost:
prefix), and rename the database with a valid name of your choice. The User Database then uses Firebird's Embedded Server.
We strongly recommend using the IBExpert User Database as a main storage for IBExpert, even if you do not need the scripts/blocks feature. It is even possible to store SQL scripts in the IBExpert User Database. These scripts can then be viewed and opened using the Scripts/Blocks page in the DB Explorer.
Please also refer to the IBEBlock article: Performing a daily backup of the IBExpert User Database.
Please note that since version 2011.12.01 IBExpert uses the Firebird database and Firebird Embedded 2.5 to store IBExpert data (registered databases, query histories etc.) by default. In previous versions by default IBExpert stored this data in the IBExpert.stg
file and the user was able to change this manually in the User Database. Working with IBExpert.stg
is still possible (for example, if you disable the User Database manually) but you will get a warning every time you start IBExpert, and we will not support this method in the future.
Using the Sounds preference, it is possible to specify a .WAV
file to announce the end of a time-consuming query.
IBExpert After Start Script
A script specified here will be executed every time IBExpert is started.
The following example illustrates how to use the After Start Script to find all database registration records with missing database files (if local access is used), and place them into an individual folder. This only works with the User Database.
execute ibeblock as begin reg = ibec_reg_Open(__HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 0); try if (ibec_reg_OpenKey(reg, 'Software\HK Software\IBExpert\CurrentData', FALSE)) then begin UDBConnectString = ibec_reg_ReadString(reg, 'UDBConnectString'); UDBClientLib = ibec_reg_ReadString(reg, 'UDBClientLib'); UDBUserName = ibec_reg_ReadString(reg, 'UDBUserName'); UDBPassword = ibec_reg_ReadString(reg, 'UDBPassword'); end finally ibec_reg_Close(reg); end; if ((UDBConnectString is null) or (UDBConnectString = '')) then exit; UserDBConnectParams = 'DBName="' || UDBConnectString || '"; ClientLib=' || UDBClientLib || '; User=' || UDBUserName || '; Password=' || UDBPassword || '; Names=UNICODE_FSS; SqlDialect=1'; UserDB = ibec_CreateConnection(__ctInterBase, UserDBConnectParams); try ibec_UseConnection(UserDB); -- Looking for missing database files (for local databases only) MissingFiles = null; i = 0; PropIni = ibec_ini_Open(''); try for select id, props from databases where (rec_type = 0) and (props containing 'Protocol=3') into :id, :props do begin Props = '[DB]' || ibec_CRLF() || Props; ibec_ini_SetStrings(PropIni, Props); Props = ibec_ini_GetStrings(PropIni); DBFile = ibec_ini_ReadString(PropIni, 'DB', 'DBNames', ''); if ((DBFile <> '') and (not ibec_FileExists(DBFile))) then begin MissingFiles[i] = ID; i = i + 1; end; end; finally ibec_ini_Close(PropIni); end; if (i > 0) then begin ParentID = null; select id from databases where (rec_type = 1) and (props containing 'FolderCaption=***MISSING DATABASE FILES***') into ParentID; if (ParentID is null) then begin ParentID = gen_id(GEN_DATABASE_ID, 1); insert into databases (ID, PARENT_ID, REC_TYPE, DB_ORDER, PROPS) values (:ParentID, 0, 1, 0, 'FolderCaption=***MISSING DATABASE FILES***'); commit; end for i = 0 to ibec_High(MissingFiles) do begin id = MissingFiles[i]; update databases set parent_id = :ParentID where id = :id; commit; end end; finally ibec_CloseConnection(UserDB); end; end
The following example shows how you can limit access for certain named users to certain IBExpert features, using a combination of an IBEBlock script and an an After start script:
execute ibeblock as begin pwd=''; if (ibec_InputQuery('Start','Please enter password',pwd)) then if (pwd='123') then ibec_enablefeature(0); else ibec_disablefeature(0); end
Please also refer to the IBEBlock example, Disable and enable IBExpert features.
