I have been playing around with OOP for a little bit, trying to wrap my arms around the concepts and I have run into a few different variations of the same problem. It seems there are multiple ways of handling it and I curious what the best option is?
I have two classes:
Neither of these classes are an extension of the other.
The Document Information class contains the date the document was originally created in a unix timestamp. I want to format it as a readable date (i.e. 4/19/2010). My "Date Formatting" class is already set up to format the dates the way that I like.
The way I understand OOP to work is that rather than formatting each date throughout the application individually (by placing date("D F d Y", $timestamp) wherever a date is displayed). There would be a class that contains the appropriate method and the class would instantiated as necessary. That way, if the developer decides they don't like the "D F d Y" formatting, they could change it in one place and would apply throughout the application. Please correct me if I am off base.
Is there a good way for me to access the Date Formatting class within my Document Information class so I can format my date?
Would I instantiate a new Date Formatting object within the Document Information Class?
Or, should I create a Getter method in the Document Information class that will pass it to the Date Formatting class and back again?
I have been using the second option but it can get tedious quickly creating all those getter and setter methods. I really curious to learn how others are working through this or whether I have "programmed myself into an OOP corner"...
class DocInfo {
public function __construct(DateFormater $formater) {
$this->_dateFormater = $formater;
public function doAction() {
$time = time();
$date = $this->_dateFormater->format_date($time);
class DateFormater {
public function format_date($date) {
return $date; /* formated data */
OO can do that, but so does a simple function. Your problem is not yet complicated enough that you need the full power of OO. Funnily, because your problem is not hard enough, you have lot's of solutions. Are you hopping from solution to solution, all of which could work, but you don't know which is best?
Lots! I'll throw in some scenarios and you can see how OO solves each.
1) You just want to keep the date formatting code in one place and make it very obvious that's where it is.
OO is a good tool for modularisation as well as for adding flex points...
class DocumentMetadata {
private $date;
function __construct($timestamp, ...) {
$this->date = new DateFormatter($timestamp);
function date() {
return $this->date->render();
class DateFormatter {
private $timestamp;
function __construct($timestamp) {
$this->timestamp = $timestamp;
function render() {
return ... // Mechanics of creating the string here.
Users of the DocumentMetadata never even know that it is using DateFormatter internally. It's for your benefit only so that you can group date stuff out of DocumentMetadata to keep your head clear.
No OO Fu points yet, but less stress when you return to the code.
2) You want to have multiple date formatting rules available, and the formatting is chosen at the time the DocumentMetadata class is constructed...
class DocumentMetadata {
private $date;
function __construct($date, ...) {
$this->date = $date;
function date() {
return $this->date->render();
You create the DocumentMetadata instance like so...
new DocumentMetadata(new DateFormatter($time), ...)
Now you could swap DateFormatter for UkDateFormatter or for UsDateFormatter and the document would work just fine.
We've added a flex point, namely the ability to choose the date format at construction time. We've made creating the DocumentMetadata a little more involved.
You get a grudging OO Fu point for mechanical skill, but there is something a little ugly in doing formatting in the DocumentMetadata class. It's kind of doing two jobs.
3) You want to add other methods to the DateFormatter, but you don't want to keep messing With DocumentMetadata...
class DocumentMetadata {
private $date;
function __construct($date, ...) {
$this->date = $date;
function date() {
return $this->date;
class DateFormatter {
private $timestamp;
function __construct($timestamp) {
$this->timestamp = $timestamp;
function render() {
return ... // Mechanics here.
function renderAsWords() {
return ... // Mechanics here.
Dead simple. You set it up with a formatter and clients of the class get the whole object back to do with as they please. DocumentMetadata now knows nothing about formatting anything. The problem is that DocumentMetadata is a bit vacuous. You could have just used a hash or StdObject. If DocumentMetadata does something, like date calculations, it will have to know about the innards of $date anyway. It now knows nothing about DateFormatter
2 OO Fu points anyway, as this could be simplest solution in practice. There more refined solutions to this general problem, but my post would get too long.
4) DocumentMetadata works with dates and fiddles with them internally, but you don't want display code mixed in to it. You also want to choose formatting later in the code...
class DocumentMetadata {
private $date;
function __construct($date, ...) {
$this->date = $date;
function writeOfficialPublicationDate($formatter) {
function alwaysNoon($date) {
... // Our document handling works in mysterious ways
class DateFormatter {
function take($date) {
return ... // Mechanics here.
Now DataFormatter can do more than pass a string around. It can draw a whole display if needed. In fact it should. This trick solves the problem of passing data from class to class until it finds the target. Just take the mountain to Mohammid and save all those getters and setters.
This is not just super flexible, the formatting and the date calculations are completely independent, it's also going to produce much less buggy code.
When we returned our DateFormatter object in example 3, suppose the DateFormatter had a method called setDate()? That means clients of DocumentMetadata could mess with it's internals. That's an invitation to buggy code. If you find all the dates are wrong, who was to blame. That DateFormatter could have been passed around quite a way. Even to a separate process if it was persisted to the database and back.
By handing clients the whole of DateFormatter we gave too much authority away. This breaks the "Principle of Least Authority" (POLA), usually more loosely termed encapsulation. Solution 4 does not do this.
DocumentMetadata is free to pass the DocumentFormatter by value in example 3, but it would have to know a bit about the DateFormatter to do this. In example 4, by handing out a value (not the invisible thread called a reference) it maintains it's internal protection from corruption. Your lines of demarcation are safe.
Oh yes, the code is simpler too.
There just aren't enough OO Fu points for this solution. This is OO Ninja.
yours, Marcus
another vote for composition.
many say that inheritance is usually only good for a few levels .
when you find functionality that you need somewhere in a class but is not related to the purpose of a class composition can be very useful.
Alternatively use static method calls if the called method requires no instance information
I think you have got some excellent advice on OO which you should follow. But I think you should step back an ask why you have those two "classes"? Getting document information is a couple of PHP function calls; fomatting a date from a timestamp is just a call to date().
It sounds like you want to do OO, but you are starting from the micro instead of the macro. I recall Marcus once said (I think quoting a colleague) that OO in PHP is best used to build the structure of your application. Inside PHP objects is usually a lot of calls to PHP's extensive built-in library.
So step back and take a look at your application. What are the big things (Entities) in it?
Off Topicish
date() is probably underpowered, IntlDateFormatter would be my starting point.
Alternatively, the built-in PHP DateTime object would work very well.
It is unfortunately only available in PHP 5.3+
There was an underpowered version introduced 5.2 which does not contain all the bells and whistles added in 5.3.
It emulates the strtotime() functions though and the ->format() method is just fine too.
Yeah, I'm aware of that version. DateTime is actually the reason I finally upgraded to 5.3 in my production system (internal application, and I basically own the server so I got the choice). I was trying to use DT functions, and kept getting unsupported method errors, so I bit the bullet.
The upgrade was incredibly smooth, for what it's worth. I think I had all of about two code changes to make.
DateTime object only works for English.
IntlDateFormatter will work for any given locale.
Any given locale, available to the script. (:
No, you're right on target. The most important technique in programming, OOP or otherwise, is encapsulation. The whole idea is to consolidate the code which performs a task in one location. This makes maintenance manageable for the program. There's also the advantage that each place where you call that block of code has no idea exactly HOW it happens. This lets you make any changes that you need to down the road, and the code which depends on it still runs just fine. That's priceless.
You misunderstand, OOP is not a language like PHP. OOP is an approach to programming. There are two main styles to programming on the web today. OOP and Procedural programming where you execute a step, then execute the next step, then the next, and the next, until you're done. As it developed in the 40s and 50s, people found ways to take advantage of different language features to make programming easier and more simple.
One big one was encapsulation. At the lowest level of encapsulation, people developed functions as a way to consolidate a common program-level task that needed to be executed throughout the program. This was revolutionary because you no longer had to write the same snippet of code a hundred times throughout a program. You just wrote it once. As you constructed the rest of your program, this made it very easy to modify and adjust the code because it only lived in that one spot, inside the function. You could now much more easily cope with client change requests during construction, and program maintenance was almost infinitely improved.
This idea was extended into routines which perform one "real-world" task and may require multiple function calls to execute. Then in 1979, a C programmer name Bjarne Stroustrup, extended this idea further still in what he called C with classes (which has since become known as C++). The class has a particular responsibility in the program which typically entails multiple functions / routines and key pieces of data as well. Each type of encapsulation works together to bridge the gap from the human realm where we look at a problem domain, down to the programming language level where we give the computer instructions for tasks it understands how to do. While encapsulation is probably the most important programming technique, this is probably the most important concept in modern programming, abstraction. Classes are just one more level of abstraction that help you as a developer to make the structure of your program conform to the high level problem resolution techniques that you use in application whether that be use case scenarios / diagrams, UML, flowcharts, or even pencil scratches on the back of a napkin.
Good procedural programming looks almost identical to good OOP programming. My father is a C programmer and his is C code looks very similar to the OOP programming I do, and is guided by the same fundamental principles. OOP languages simply add in the language structure, classes, which give you a new technique to accomplish the same goals, but in a good procedural program you'll see other language features like structs which have been pressed into use to serve basically the same purpose. The native support for classes in an OOP language simply gives you more power and makes it simpler to accomplish the same things instead of jumping through some of the hoops that a non-OOP language makes you deal with. That's exactly why PHP5 finally adopted much more robust support for classes which PHP6 is extending even further. If you just want to do a simple one-off script which requires no encapsulation and will never be reused, then writing some inline code may be the way to go; and even then, if front-end developers may be mucking around in the code, you might be wise to protect your code from their keystrokes by pulling it into an external .php file and plug it back in with an include. However, whether you write procedurally or OOP encapsulation is the same technique you should use either way to improve your abstraction (and a host of other issues too including information hiding, reusability, simplicity, self-documentation, etc.)
Wow! Thanks for the great response.
After reading through several of these posts, I did a bit more research into your suggestions. I think composition and aggregation are definitely my solution(s). My Document Info class can instantiate a new Date Formatter object and return the appropriately formatted date to wherever it needs to go.
In fact, everyone's help not only improves this application but I have even been able to go back and improve some of the other things I created as part of my initial foray into OOP.
arborint - After reading some of these posts, I realized that I probably chose bad class names to use for my original question since, you're right, this information could be handled by existing functions.
My application is actually a bit more complicated than my example... it is a document management system. The Document Info class handles the things like Author, Original Upload, etc... that is tracked in the database for each document. The date class allows me to format the unix timestamps to something a bit more readable. The original application is built with procedural code and just became a nightmare when I wanted to add a feature which is one of the driving reasons why I chose to rework the whole thing.
Chroniclemaster1 - This helped a lot. It helps me wrap my head around the idea of encapsulation.
lastcraft - Thanks for the examples. They were very helpful.
Thanks again everyone for the feedback.
Glad we can help. There's definitely a lot to learn in OOP as long as you realize that you don't have to learn everything on day one. Composition is an excellent choice, IMO the Java guys have pretty conclusively demonstrated that composition/aggregation is a much better structure than inheritance in 90% of situations. I have a security class which defines a whitelist in an abstract class and automatically validates whatever input is fed to it automatically in the constructor. I've then built classes which inherit from the abstract class so that data for any input is automatically validated to ensure application security. However, that's the only case I can cite where I've favored inheritance over composition. And clearly it was the need for application security (which only inheriting from the base class could provide) that prompted me to use this. Inheritance is not as self-documenting because you are using variables, functions, etc. in a class which are defined in a separate piece of code. That just makes working with inheritance more difficult during construction and in some cases a nightmare during the maintenance cycle.
After seeing your description, I'm not sure you're names are bad. I think we simply lacked the context to know exactly what was going on inside them. I'm struggling to come up with a better name for consolidating those pieces of information. Proper naming conventions fall into the category of Semantics. This is how you write all those beautiful OOP abstractions that are saving your butt into the application; that means the semantics in your code will always remind you what your abstractions are so they can continue to save you (and anyone else) throughout construction and on into the maintenance cycle. It's also a critical factor in creating Self-Documenting code.
Well ... I was not really saying that your names were bad. They seem fine. My point was that you had some bigger class implied in your first post. And you have now clarified that you have a "document management system." If that is what you are building then the first class you might think about creating is a Document class! And above that you might need some some ways to find Documents and some ways to orgainize Documents into collections of some sort.
Once you have the real Domain of your app roughed out, then you can start thinking about whether you need little utility classes like your Doc Info and Date Formatter classes. Or you might be fine just having methods in your Document class to get information like dates.
There is some question whether your need here is for utility classes or configuration data? What you originally asked for is a global way to specify date formats. If you put that in a class then you are responsible for it. If you put it in configuration data then its moved out of your code. You just need to get that configuration data into your Document class...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - While automatic federal budget cuts called sequestration technically don't kick in until Friday, they are already having an effect locally.
Private companies like those that do ship repair say they are preparing to lose work and people.
CTI, a company on the Southside that does logistics and data work for each Navy base in Duval County, is about lay off 34 workers because of Navy cuts. The company president says the cuts aren't taking long to hit home.
"Because of this, there is good, hardworking people -- these guys are not numbers, they are my family," CTI president Christopher Imbach said. "And they have given taxpayers 100 percent for many, many years, and they are going to be out of a job tomorrow. And they are faces, they are not numbers. They are faces to these decisions made by lawmakers."
Nearly 300 ship repair personnel are awaiting word at what will happen at Mayport. Last year in Jacksonville there were 10 Navy ships being repaired. This year that number dropped to two, and one of those could be lost to the latest cuts.
Mike McGrath, of the Jacksonville Area Ship Repair Association, says those cuts are hurting the smaller companies.
"Yeah, they had to make some layoffs," McGrath said. "They are trying to stretch out their work, shorten the work weeks so they have some income coming. But how long can you do that?"
If what the governor said Wednesday about losing three ships scheduled to come to Mayport becomes reality, millions of dollars would be lost to the community, and jobs could become scarce.
"Sequestration does not make any sense," Gov. Rick Scott said during a stop in Jacksonville on Thursday. "The president and Congress need to get together. They need to do their job so we don't lose jobs for Florida families."
The governor would not talk specifically about those ships, and he said the information came from his staff in Washington D.C. Standing next to the governor was Retired Adm. Vic Guillory, who heads up Jacksonville's Military Affairs.
"As for the amphibious ready group coming, I believe that decision has not been made," Guillory said.
It's that lack of information that is hurting the local ship repair businesses, because as there are more delays and rumors, the skilled workers are leaving town to get jobs.
"They have to work somewhere. They have to," McGrath said. "Our concern is when the work comes, how do we get that expertise back into northeast Florida?"

More than 3,500 attendees packed the Los Angeles Equestrian Center equidome on on a chilly gray Saturday, sloshing through the mud to see sidesaddle-riding cowgirls, gun-totting cowboys and other performers slated to participate in the 124th Tournament of Rose Parade on New Year's Day.
"The equestrians are the heart and soul of the Rose Parade," said Pamela S. Knapp, Pasadena Tournament of Roses director and Equestrian Committee chairwoman. "They live to entertain and share their passion of horses."
Twenty-one groups of horse riders from as far as Hawaii and Wyoming to Canada and Tuva, a republic of Siberia, came to showcase stunts, gun-slinging tricks and more.
Christina Li of Temple City said that as a rider and horse counselor/teacher at Tom Sawyer Camp in Altadena it was exciting to see how professional riders maneuver the majestic animals.
"It's so interesting to see what you can do with your horse because with what I do with the kids, it's just such simple riding," Li said. "But this is just fascinating."
The cavalry even galloped into Burbank - the U.S. Army Calvary, the only active calvary in the country - while horse-drawn carriages also trotted out carrying Rose Queen Vanessa Manjarrez and her royal court.
Becky Thompson of Agua Dulce came to the Saturday event with two friends from out of town to witness the horses perform. None of the women ride horses but were enamored by the choreographed demonstrations, particularly by the Anaheim Police Department Mounted Enforcement Unit.
Thompson said that while she was disappointed Clydesdale horses were not at the event there were plenty of amazing horses to watch.
"The horses are just absolutely gorgeous," chimed in Thompson's friend, Lisa Castelan who traveled down from Bakersfield for a first-time Equestfest experience.
Jason and Jody Giles of Manhattan Beach brought their twin girls to Equestfest to expose the 2-year-olds to the horses they adore usually in toy form. The native Texans also wanted to see cowboys of their childhood.
"They got stick horses from Santa so for them to meet horses up close like this is great for them,"
Jason Giles said, slowly leaning his daughter, Ryan, closer to a horse that was brought over for the girls to pet. "They're loving it."
Also, for the Giles family, who have not made it to a Rose Parade yet since moving to Southern California, being so close to parade participants was a treat.
"It's really neat to experience a part of the Rose Parade firsthand like this," Jody Giles said.
Knapp added that while Equestfest aims to bring an element of the Rose Parade to fans, the event is also gratifying for the performers.
"It's an opportunity for the equestrians who ride in the parade to show us what they really do,"
Knapp said. "In a parade they ride down the street and wave, but here they can do their trick riding, stunts and all those exciting things they do."

>Technical Support>weight training - can't save workout
But wasn't he funny in "Dodgeball?!"
That does mean something to me, which is the Java script is not behaving correctly on your browser. Which browser are you using?
Roads were made for journeys...
I used the number keys at the top of the keyboard. If I tried to use the number keys on the keypad on the right (yes, numlock was on!) it wouldn't put anything in the spaces for the "sets" and "weight" (but did when I accidentally tried it on the name of the exercise!). Don't know if that'll help or not. Thought it might. Quirky, quirky!
Tried again, refreshed, on a third computer w/ IE - same issue. keypad doesn't take, regular numbers will.
Does anyone else find the same thing or is it just me?
Hi, I'm pretty new here. This is a great site! Thanks for sharing your work.
I can't save my weight training workouts. I've tried to add one twice, but I keep getting an error. It looks like it's a database error, but I'm not sure. The error says "duplicate record." I wonder if it's because both time, I've accidentally pressed "Enter" instead of clicking the plus sign. Then, when I'm finished, I think, I'm not sure, but I think the duplicate record the error indicates is the row that I hit "Enter" on.
I can't remember what the error message says, but it's a DB term, not field, or row, something else. It'll come to me. Anyway, can you check this out? Thanks!
Actually, I get the same thing using FF in Win98SE. When entering a strength workout, the number of sets has to be using the numbers at the top, but the number of reps can be the keypad.

Included in the SRC are the new Eckert Recreation Center, the Chrouser Natatorium, and the King Arena. King Arena replaced Centennial Gymnasium as the home of Wheaton College basketball, volleyball, and wrestling. The arena is not a different building, but a renovation of Centennial Gymnasium, funded in large part by Leroy King. The 2,650-seat King Arena is equipped with four scoreboards, a sound system, eight basketball hoops, and ethernet connections at the scorer's table. It has seating on all four sides whereas Centennial Gymnasium only had two, and one side features chair-backed seats. In addition to its usefulness for classes and athletics, the building, designed in the architectural style of the Anderson Commons dining hall and other buildings on campus, is well-suited for informal and formal gatherings.

I must admit, I was a bit perplexed by the number of people interested in selling Wednesday's strong rally. A day of unequivocal strength with the charts of several growth names saying, "Look at me: I'm ready to go higher," and it's time to sell?
From my vantage point, Wednesday was a day of institutional buying. Major averages broke out over key resistance levels in strong volume. The September highs are now within reach. The session opened with a bang, the market held gains smartly and the indices rallied strongly into the close.
Frankly, selling was the last thing on my mind Wednesday. In fact, I was doing the exact opposite and looking for opportunities to get long.
One hour after the close, Melissa Francis of kicked of CNBC's "Fast Money" program with the question: Were you a buyer or a seller of today's rally? Brian Kelly chimed in first: "We had a tremendous rally today. If you had any profits, you had to take them." Guy Adami added: "The S&P 500 will top out between the March 2000 high of 1527 and the October 2007 high of 1565 over the next one to one-and-a-half months. It could happen even sooner."
Why not go with the flow for now? I understand that most traders are in the business of hitting singles. Taking a few points of profit and moving on to the next trade. Singles are fine, but I'm more interested in home runs -- hitching on to an emerging leader in the early stages of a move and sitting tight. The big money is made by sitting tight and letting your winners run.
I've initiated five new long positions -- including two yesterday -- since Nov. 26 for my Ultimate Growth Stocks model portfolio. Instead of scalping them for several points of profit, I will sit tight with them because I know they have the potential to outperform nicely if new money continues to come in from the sidelines.

FedEx Customers Get Near-Real-Time Tracking and Increased Visibility for Their Shipments With SenseAware
HONG KONG — FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today announced the launch of its SenseAwareSM service in two countries in Asia Pacific. FedEx customers in Australia and Singapore can now better control their supply chain and stay connected to their most critical and time-sensitive shipments in near real-time following the launch of SenseAware2000, the next-generation information service powered by FedEx.
Developed by the FedEx Innovation team, the award-winning SenseAware is a comprehensive tracking service that provides near-real-time data about customer shipments and the ability to share that information collaboratively with business partners. A multi-sensor device, deeply integrated with a powerful web-based application, enables customers to access vital statistics of a shipment while still in transit, including precise temperature readings, exact location, and be alerted when the shipment has been opened or exposed to light.
"At FedEx, we are focused on delivering significant value to our customers through services and technology that makes international shipping efficient and convenient", said David Cunningham Jr., president, FedEx Express Asia Pacific.
"FedEx is continuously innovating and building its portfolio of specialty services to enhance the customer experience. With the SenseAware expansion into Asia Pacific, customers with the most specific and sensitive requirements can now have more actionable intelligence at their fingertips. This is truly evolutionary for our customers in terms of the way they view and monitor their critically sensitive shipments," said Mr. Cunningham.
Shipments from industries such as healthcare, life sciences, aerospace, the arts and financial institutions are often highly valuable, regulated and/or extremely time sensitive. These industries can benefit from the added level of visibility and monitoring provided by SenseAware.
Initially available in the U.S. only, the SenseAware service can now help customers monitor shipments and inventory in Australia, Singapore, Canada and the U.K., and will be further expanded to other markets in 2013.
The SenseAware service is also available on a growing list of air and ground transportation carriers, delivering more transportation options to customers in order to better fit their specific needs and still benefit from the peace of mind and quality assurance provided by SenseAware. Beyond the FedEx network, the service is now available on the following carriers:

SWIMMERS in the Taunton area will get the chance to 'compete against one of Britain's greatest ever swimmers.
Former world champion and Olympian swimmer Mark Foster is to open the refurbished swimming pool in Station Road, Taunton.
Foster, who won six world, ten European and two Commonwealth titles, will join Taunton Deane Mayor Cllr Libby Lisgo in declaring the pool open again in the spring.
And he will dive in so local people can test themselves against him.
The pool is being refurbished at a cost of £1.2million, with the help of a £500,000 Sport England grant.
Cllr Catherine Herbert, who holds the sports, parks and leisure portfolio at Taunton Deane Council, said: "I am thrilled that Mark Foster will be coming to the pool and see at first hand just what we have achieved.
"Mark is a brilliant ambassador for his sport and is so keen to encourage participation, especially among the young. This is our aim, too, so I cannot think of a better person to be joining the Mayor for the opening."
Since the pool closed in October, work has been carried out on stripping out the building and making structural alterations to the changing rooms, which are being converted into a 'village' changing facility.
The old plant equipment has been removed and the upgraded pool will boast new filtration, boilers and air handling unit, which will bring greater energy savings.
Mark Foster, one of the most successful British swimmers of all time, has a Somerset connection – he used to attend Millfield School, in Street.
Watch out for the precise date of the opening in the County Gazette and at somersetcountygazette.co.uk/news

ADRIAN Foster has committed his future to Frome Town by signing a two-year contract at Badgers Hill.
The 43-year-old, who took over as Robins boss in December last year and guided his side from the depths of a relegation dogfight to a comfortable mid-table finish last season, put pen to paper on Saturday.
Foster said: "I've really enjoyed it since being at Frome and when the chairman approached me and said the club wanted to discuss a contract, I was really flattered.
"The discussions went really well and there was no hesitation in getting things officially signed.
"It's a signal from the club that they can see what we are trying to achieve, and really, that's also down to the way the players have responded since Christmas as well.
"With just a couple of additions to the squad I can see us having a great season ahead."
Chairman Jeremy Alderman added: "We have been speaking to Adrian for the last couple of months about signing a long-term contract and we are really pleased that he sees his future with us, and that he knows we are building something really good at Frome.
"There is no doubting he has been a breath of fresh air since coming in at the tail end of last year and the players have responded to him brilliantly - we can look forward to what we all hope to be a really exciting future."
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Darren Chitty picked up two awards as Frome held their end of season presentation awards last weekend.
Chitty took home the manager's player of the year gong, as well as being voted the supporters' player of the year.

Both my father and grandfather died from esophageal cancer. They both smoked and drank hard liquor. I have never smoked and drink only wine and beer. Of course I grew up in the 60`s around second-hand smoke. Am I at risk for esophageal cancer as well?
Esophageal cancer is only rarely an inherited disease. The risk of esophageal cancer is higher in people with severe gastroesophageal reflux, in addition to smoking and alcohol. The best screening tool would be an esophagoscopy by your gastroenterologist.

As one of the oldest resorts in the Valley with a rich cowboy history dating back to the 1930's, it's only natural that The Hermosa Inn would be home to a few friendly spirits still wandering the grounds. From original owner, cowboy artist Alonzo "Lon" Megargee, to a "Pink Lady" on a bridge and unexplained moving objects, this luxury boutique resort is now offering a Hermosa Hauntings package, where guests will receive two creepy cocktails from Last Drop at the Hermosa upon arrival, in addition to a guided ghost tour of the property.
"While we have accumulated quite a few ghost stories over the years, all the spirits that have been encountered seem to be quite friendly," said Managing Director Michael Gildersleeve. "With so much interest from guests over the decades – and even more so in recent years with the popularity of rivaling ghost hunting shows on television – we thought it fitting to offer a package that gets our guests into the holiday spirit, and maybe even allows them to have an experience of their own with an on-property spirit."
Valid October 1 – November 3, 2013 and starting from $246/night, the Hermosa Hauntings package includes an overnight stay, two creepy cocktails – Last Drop's "Eye for an Eye" (recipe here) – upon arrival, and a guided ghost tour through the property.
Ghost stories that have been reported from throughout the Inn include the following:
Closing the Door
Apparently Lon likes the doors shut. A maid actually quit after having doors shut on their own multiple times while she was cleaning the guest casitas.
A Pat on the Head
A guest came into the restaurant to show her friends some of Lon Megargee's original artwork that hangs in Last Drop (the portion of the Hermosa Inn that was Lon's original art studio and residence). The host showed them the way, walked in the other room, had his hands full and when he came back to the guests (still with both hands full) the woman was looking up in the air. Our host asked what she was looking at, or if the roof was leaking from the rainy day, and she said "No, you just patted me on the head." He assured her that he did not, as his hands were full.
Cowboy in the Mirror
Yet another maid quit her job at The Hermosa Inn; this time due to the reflection of a cowboy that appeared in the mirror behind her. When she turned around, no one was there.
Lady in Pink
Multiple guests have asked "Who is that lady in the pink gown walking over the bridge by the pool?" While we don't know who she might be, a lady in a floor-length flowing pink gown (something not of this time period) does appear to guests in the late hours of the night or early mornings as she walks across the bridge.
Lon Did It
Oftentimes candlesticks will somehow fall out of their candlestick holders and other objects seem to move on their own or be misplaced. Decorations on the host stand have been "pushed" off, and a host was talking to a guest at the bar when a bottle of tequila flew off the shelf and broke multiple glasses. The staff will often joke "Oh, Lon must have done that!"
Kids at Play
One of the restaurant's evening dishwashers refuses to work alone at night because she has seen children of times passed playing out in the parking lot upon leaving at 1 or 2 in the morning, in addition to seeing the Pink Lady mentioned above.
Spirits in the Cellar
When workers were doing construction in the underground wine cellar of LON's, they had left various tools in disarray and went upstairs to get something. When they came back down, all their tools had been neatly placed in a row. There have also been accounts of doors opening/closing and lights going on and off.

BASINGSTOKE nightclub Wonderland will open for longer hours after it was granted a licence extension.
The venue, in Churchill Way, will be able to sell alcohol until 4am, with a closing time of 4.30am, on Friday, Saturdays and all public holidays. It can currently sell alcohol until 3am on Friday and 2.30am on Saturday.
At Monday's licensing sub-committee meeting at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, Lisa Sharkey, representing NoSaints, which runs the nightclub, said the later hours would bring the venue in line with other bars in the town.
She said: "It is also about offering the customers what they want. At the moment, they do go on to other places once they have left us. As a thriving business, we have to offer the people what they want."
The meeting heard there were no objections to the licence extension from the police or local residents.
Eastrop councillor Gavin James said his concern was for people who live within earshot of the nightclub, such as at Crown Heights, in Alencon Link, and he argued for a smaller licence extension.
He urged the committee: "Take a slow approach and allow an extra half-hour, and see how that works. "The extension frightens me because once you let the cat out of the box, it's very difficult to get it back in again."
The three-man panel, chaired by Cllr Paul Frankum, took 10 minutes to grant the licence application.

I'm a big process junkie. I love the behind-the-scenes looks at how different creators work, the process they follow to produce their script or art or whatever. So here are a few links worth perusing, if you're equally interested in what it takes to put together a comic:
Making of a Cover – Avatar: The Last Airbender – Dark Horse Comics editor Dave Marshall discusses the steps involved in creating the cover for their new Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel. The process kicks off with the book's writer, Gene Luen Yang, providing the artist, Gurihiru, with a few rough sketches as a starting point. Several cover roughs are then created and the show's creators pick their favorite. Then it's off to be penciled, inked, and colored, with more notes from the creators:
You'll notice the extremely detailed (one might even say nitpicky) notes. That's because the license holders of multi-million dollar franchises like Avatar are very concerned about their products always being "on model." Having worked on several licensed comics myself (Terminator, Ghostbusters, etc.) I'm familiar with the dreaded "final approval" step, although I must admit that in my case things always went very smoothly. I chalk it up to luck, because I know other creators who have had to go through revision after revision on their licensed projects.
Coloring the Wonder Woman comic – on his blog, colorist Matthew Wilson discusses his thought process when faced with a challenging sequence in the new Wonder Woman comic. The sequence is set in a bar/club, and features several characters separated along different areas of the club. His approach was to keep the color palette fairly simple, and to light each location with its own distinguishing color. From Matthew's post:
"One reason to choose this approach is that it's a bit of a literal interpretation of a club's lighting, as there are usually quite a few different lights/light sources in bars/clubs in real life. The second reason was, this helps the reader quickly identify where each character is located within the club, and how those spaces relate to each other in terms of how the club is laid out."
Sometimes, simple color theory is all you need, as illustrated (no pun intended) by this comment:
"Cliff [Chiang, the artist] noted that the music should feel angry, so I picked red for the stage area. It seemed like a good idea to carry over that red to the background of the last panel where Wonder Woman is angrily stabbing Strife's hand with the broken glass…"
When the inker really made a difference – and finally, here's a look at what an inker brings to the table, from veteran inker Bob McLeod's Facebook gallery. Lots of pages from lots of different artists, from tight pencils to looser, more "sketchy" renditions, all finished by McLeod. Here's an example where you can see him adding in the finer details, such as in Supergirl's hair, or the subtle shadows on her costume and below her skirt:
"1991 Action Comics #674 cover. Breakdown pencils by Dan Jurgens. BWS means "black with stars", not Barry Windsor-Smith. 🙂 Even something seemingly simplistic, such as adding stars, can look vastly different depending on the inker. Some inkers make uniformly big stars, and scatter them pretty evenly, like wallpaper. Some inkers go to the trouble to mask off the foreground objects and use a toothbrush to spray them on, creating tiny stars clustered with larger stars. Today, inkers or colorists can digitally add a photo of real stars. I've used the toothbrush method and the photo method before, but I usually just try to make them different sizes and scatter them in clusters by hand, using an old brush and white paint. It's tedious, but effective."
And here's a more extreme example of the breakdown/finisher method of creating a page, as opposed to the more traditional penciler/inker. This is from 1981's The Savage Sword of Conan #63, page 46, with John Buscema providing the loose breakdown pencils:
Well, that'll do it for now. If you have your own favorite process links, feel free to share them in the comments.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Corporate data is a powerful source of potential opportunity and competitive gain for every business. But unlocking valuable data from disparate systems such as customer relationship management (CRM), sales performance management (SPM) and corporate performance management (CPM) can seem like an insurmountable task. With huge volumes of data being generated and stored every day, how do you find the tiny needles of insight in the massive haystack of information? And, once you uncover that insight, how can you "democratize" that data, i.e. deliver it to the right people, at the right time, on their device of choice, so they can make impactful decisions with it?
For companies willing to tackle these questions, the benefits are undeniable. The ability to create seamless connections between performance management systems can help corporate leaders see the bigger business picture and drive end-to-end results across the organization. For instance, they can quickly identify potential customer opportunities in the CRM system, motivate the sales force to leverage those opportunities through the SPM system, and calculate the financial impact of the opportunity in the CPM system. However, most organizations today lack visibility across these systems and struggle to leverage the business intelligence they hold.
The Evolution of Business Intelligence Maturity: Where Do You Go from Here?
The ability to achieve end-to-end visibility and deliver actionable, mobilized business intelligence doesn't happen overnight. Smart companies know the ability to quickly access and distribute detailed analytics to decision makers is a step-by-step evolution that requires continuous refinement. Many companies simply don't know where to start, or the fear of failure stops them from trying. But here's the good news: The tools and processes needed to extract and mobilize business intelligence are not just for the biggest companies in the world anymore. It's actually a lot easier than you might think. This four-step transformation model is a great way to get started on the path to BI maturity.
Transformation Model: A Four-Step Guide to Business Intelligence Maturity
The word "transformation" implies dramatic change. But in most large companies, unlocking the power of Big Data is rarely about uncovering the big trend or major opportunity. Today it's about combing through volumes of data to find subtle but meaningful patterns in real time, and delivering that visual intelligence to people who can quickly turn it into business value.
For instance, customer opportunities are usually identified through small fluctuations in CRM data, which can then lead to pricing updates or modified sales compensation plans to capitalize on this insight. In other words, transformation is a series of steps that takes you closer to your goal, building "muscle memory" along the way to lock in new processes and benefits. The key is to avoid getting stuck on perfecting the details of each component. Instead, get all of the components working together in a holistic system and then focus on maturing the system as a whole.
Step 1 – Assess: Understand your current mode of operation in four dimensions — people, processes, tools and technology
The ultimate goal is to get your workforce to use data in a way that positively enables them to impact revenue and behavior. Therefore, you first need to assess how your people, processes, tools and technology are currently operating. Do you have the right people to create change? Do your current processes enable workers to collaborate and meet their goals? Do they have the right tools and technology to generate the results you want? If not, why? What is your organization lacking?
Step 2 – Plan: Create a strategy playbook for action
Once you assess your current mode of operation, the next step is developing a picture of your future mode of operation for your people, processes, tools and technologies. Although some organizations are uncomfortable discussing their limitations and shortcomings, smart companies readily engage in this dialog. They know that an absence of those discussions creates blind spots that can lead to costly risks down the road. Your strategy playbook should account for these limitations so you can identify the incremental steps needed to achieve BI maturity.
Step 3 – Implement: Get the right resources in place
Information velocity, and who can respond the fastest, is often the difference between winning and losing in the marketplace. The same is true about putting the right resources in place to execute your strategy. You need the right tools and technologies to unlock data and deliver it in the form of visual and detailed reports to help facilitate understanding. It's also important to note that BI is not artificial intelligence. You still need the right people with expertise in your company and market to interpret reports. Data doesn't think for you, no matter how visual it is.
Step 4 – Maintain: Continuously refine and optimize the system
Implementation is just the beginning. Once the new system is up and running, how will you maintain and optimize it to drive the behaviors and results you want? You have to evaluate your internal resources and processes to decide if the system can be maintained by you, a third party or perhaps a blended version of internal and external resources.
Human Behavior: Your Biggest Risk Is Also Your Biggest Asset
Ultimately, the success or failure of business intelligence maturity transformation comes down to your people. The first step is optimizing your systems to deliver powerful insights to smart decision makers throughout your organization, not just top-level executives. Next is empowering your workforce to capitalize on those insights and drive your business forward. Is your organization ready to be transformed?

Boris Johnson, London's mayor, is not normally lost for words. But for once the most high-profile local British politician has fallen silent. Transport for London has confirmed it has stopped playing a pre-recorded message by Mr Johnson.
The recording was aimed at encouraging Londoners to replan their journeys to allow for a deluge of visitors expected during the Olympics. The message, which warned of "huge pressure on the transport network" was pulled on Tuesday, a move which coincided with reports that overzealous warnings by TfL had scared people off coming to central London and had damaged business.

Natural Products Expo Explosion
The Natural Products Expo West "exploded" with vendors and attendees this year. I have been telling people for years that the movement toward organic products . . . and healthier products . . . and products abandoning harmful chemicals is real . . . and now, the proof is in the numbers.
A record 68,000 attendees visited with over 3,000 natural product vendors at the Anaheim Convention Center. The event was so big, I wouldn't have been surprised to see Mickey Mouse and his friends skip out on their park to see what the commotion was. Every product you can imagine was represented and the scope of the vendors demonstrated that consumers do care about these issues in every facet of their life. This isn't just about organic potato chips anymore – this is about beauty products, baby products, every food and drink imaginable, and just about every other consumer product in your house.
At Naturepedic, we make certified organic adult and children's mattresses . . . and all kinds of other good stuff . . . so needless to say, this is our kind of party. When I witness an explosion of interest like this, I can't help but thank the internet for its role. If there wasn't social media and the ability for people to research these issues and find great products, the boom would have taken decades. Now, smart consumers that know to get away from harmful chemicals can read up on the science and search out the products they desire.
The internet has turned what "used to be accepted" onto its head. Consumers are singing Twisted Sister's "We're not going to take it anymore!" and driving innovation and new products with their purchasing dollar. There wouldn't be 68,000 buyers, shoppers and retailers looking for the latest organic and natural product if their customers weren't demanding it.
The explosion and energy is fun . . . but don't forget your friends at Naturepedic were at the dance a long, long time ago. And as always, we have saved a dance for you and can't wait to chat about all of our products with you.

Engines — Capt.
Ken Kreisler, Capt. Patrick Sciacca, and Elizabeth Ginns
2003 Engines Preview
By late last year, Bombardier, the Montreal, Canada-based company that saved American outboard icons Evinrude and Johnson from extinction, had announced that it had opened its 2,500th dealership, the Pompano Beach Marine Center, in Pompano Beach, Florida. In addition it has added four two-strokes and four four-strokes to the Johnson line and 250- and 200-hp HO engines to the Evinrude line.
The 250 and 200 HO are two-cycle direct-injection V-6s that come with FasTrak power trim and tilt and S.L.O.W., which automatically and gradually reduces the speed of the engine to a safe level if overheating or other potentially damaging conditions arise. Also standard are targeted oil injection, a 60-amp alternator with voltage regulator and battery isolator, a tilt-limit switch, and a built-in trailering support arm.
The new two-stroke Johnsons include 6-, 8-, 9.9-, and 15-hp models, while the new four-stroke models include a 4, 90, 115, and 140. The 140 comes in 20- and 25-inch shaft sizes, which weigh 417 and 425 pounds, respectively. This four-cylinder, in-line, dual-overhead cam engine feature four valves per cylinder, a 40-amp alternator, and digital sequential electronic fuel injection.
four-stroke engines are covered by a three-year, top-cover-to-prop-nut,
non-declining warranty. The twos offer two-year coverage. Phone: (847)

The main problem for Vyragosa seekers like me is that she shares a spawn timer with the highly desired Time-Lost Proto Drake, in fact I have seen it written in many places that "Time-Lost Proto-Drake is a rare spawn of Vyragosa" making TLPD a rare spawn of a rare spawn. Is that rare enough for you? TLPD has a 100% chance to drop Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
A number of sources say that the spawn time for Vyragosa is between 6 hours and 24 hours. So I should pop in every hour looking for a spawn I guess! Geez, if that doesn't hike up my /played I don't know what will!
Draewind has a great page about Vyragosa and TLPD. If you look at the spawn paths on Wowhead and with NPCScan it looks like a windy mess, but Drae has actually made a nice map with paths, directions and spawn points.
|NPCScan path of TLPD/Vyragosa
|Wowhead spawn points map
|Drae's map with paths and spawn points (triangles) - every path except green one is anticlockwise
There is only one person in the guild I know of who has TLPD - Roshii. Here he is on that elusive mount.
Boring bit ensuing - don't read on, it's just for my records!
21/8, 0753 - logged in to find Vyra dead in front of me near Valkyrion. How annoying! I logged in at 5 and 6 am and looked after kids at 7. Crap.
29/8, 0707 - didn't spawn at my camp spot near Valkyrion so I flew around and found Vyra dead on yellow flight path just cresting the hill.
2/9, 1500 - Aio gives me :( when I login. He says that he just killed Vyra 2 hours ago... I was just logging off then! Crap! But grats Aio!
11/9, 0923 - logged in flew a little bit and BANG, Vyragosa thing pops up... excitement.... only to find she was dead again

DACHAU Voices from the Ash
de Christopher R. Bales
Acerca del libro
In honored memory of those who have suffered through unimaginable horrors.
"Remember us"
Voices from the Ash was first published in 1997 in issue number #1 of Morbid Curiosity, a publication featuring nonfiction of the strange, macabre and disquieting. The essay was accompanied by three images from the Dachau series,produced in June of 1985. The cover also featured a print from the series.
Although my current ventures in art involve assemblage sculpture, I still consider the Dachau series one of my most successful, and poignant early works. This project has been an emotional and eerie revisiting of a place and time that has been burned into my memory.
Características y detalles
- Categoría Bellas artes
Vertical estándar, 20×25 cm
40 Páginas
- Fecha de publicación oct. 09, 2011
- Idioma English
- Etiquetas concentration camp, holocaust, Nazi, WW2, Dachau
Acerca del creador
Since 1989, I have enjoyed creating assemblage sculptures. Working with the visual imagery and conceptual elements of my artwork and developing them into a cohesive story has been challenging, rewarding and has directed me onto a creative path that has taken me by surprise. I hope you will enjoy this diversion into the dark waters of my subconscious.

Two things the Giants swore they'd improved over 2015 was an ability to finish, and their overall defense. In last week's loss to Washington, they fell short in both areas, and they were wildly undisciplined. Yes, Ben McAdoo's Giants looked eerily similar to the final version of Tom Coughlin's Giants.
Now they visit the Vikings, whose defense could give the Broncos a challenge as best in show. Minnesota doesn't do much with the ball, but can stop just about anyone's run or pass game.

Pardon me if I got into a wrong topic....
I am accessing my localhost through my local IPhow can I change it into something like this - http://localwebsite/ or http://localportal/not via IP
I am in XP - running in port:8081 (I have apache installed run on port:80)
Thanks in for the help
You could modify your hosts fileC:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Change 127.0.0.1 localhostto 127.0.0.1 whatever
Why not use the conventional http://localhost:8081 rather than standing up new host names? If you are on xp then you can't be running separate sites as IIS 5.1 is limited to a single site so it don't matter so much.
It really matters really, its about friendliness of the url they are visiting, if you are end user, localhost:8081 is alien to them it looks geeky, they like more of cuteurlforcommoner/login.aspx something like that.
I tried that on IIS7 for multiple sites, I will surely try this for this case. Thanks!
Oh, are you accepting incoming requests on the XP machine? I don't think the hosts file will help with that.
I was thinking you just wanted a different name for testing apache vs IIS.
Assuming you have a DNS server somewhere pointing an url to your machine, all you have to do is add a header definition to the site in question. In IIS, right click the site you wish to edit, then click "Bindings". You will see a dialog with various names and associated ports. Click "Add" to include a new definition. This is how name-based hosting works, and how IIS knows which "site" it should serve, based on the incoming request.
oh pardon me for the confusion, yes I am accepting request on the XP Machine.
This is in IIS 5/6 or 7 ? =)Thanks for the tip...
uh...all have a similar dialog, though the menu item names might not be the same. Just look through the contextual menus for a given site and look for Bindings.
A few visuals should help: http://www.hosting.com/support/iis7/create-new-sites-in-iis-7
Yes, DNS would work for any web server. It is just a way of mapping a name to an IP address. And it is the only way to do it. You going to need a domain name for each site
Doesn't Windows only support one web site unless you are running a Server OS?
Yes, you are right. Sorry, have not used IIS6 or XP in ages. lol. OP is going to need windows server or windows 7

hero1 - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkI am on the same boat as you. Too bad I am currently modifying my Fractal Design Define XL R2 to fit 2 x 360 mm rads. I think I might snatch one If they ever make another one like this with capability to take 2 x 360 mm thick rads (up to 65 mm). Other than that, it's a good case. Reply
cbgoding - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkYou got a build thread for that? Reply
ggathagan - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkYou could do the soundproof work yourself. There are a number of on-line vendors that carry the damping material. Reply
cbgoding - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkAnd stick it to the inside of the window? if corsair offers a windowless version, then sure that route would work perfectly. Reply
Guernb2 - Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - linkI bet the if side panels are reversible, you could ask corsair for another back panel and maybe it could work. Reply
Thurwell - Tuesday, October 08, 2013 - linkCheck out the NZXT H630, soundproofed case with lots of radiator support for $149. Kind of ugly though. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkNo empty case or build galleries? Reply
MooseMuffin - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkIs the window really that important to people? Seems like they could solve some of their air cooling woes by throwing a big fan on the side panel like they do with the carbide 500R. Reply
Liquid_Static - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkI hate to say this, but frankly I'm getting bored with Corsair's cases. Don't get me wrong I love their products, but their cases have been just more of the same. Reply
alincioaba - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkThe 3.5" cages are stackable that's good... my question is can you add an extra one (provided that corsair will sell you one)? Reply
garadante - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkSure looks like it, as that's what they offered with the 900D. Perhaps the drive cages are even identical? I know the 900D came with 2 or 3 drive caves but you could have 5 installed total I think. Reply
Grok42 - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkNot my choice of case for other reasons but I have to give them a lot of credit for being able to stack cages and selling additional ones. Now if they would only sell 2.5" in addition to 3.5" cages. Reply
BillyTheBigBone - Friday, February 14, 2014 - linkyes you can. I ordered one from them. Reply
Alan G - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkIn this day and age, two USB 2.0 along with two USB 3.0 ports on the front panel? Why? Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkAt $159 "it's cheaper" isn't a good excuse; but I'm sure that's still part of it. Probably Corsair's explanation if asked would be that a lot of mid range mobos still only have a single USB3 header and very few people would be plugging in 3 USB3 devices at once anyway.
IMO the better option would be to include either a short adapter cable to connect a USB3 cable to a USB2 header, or to wire the second connector onto the cable itself like the dual connector cable you often see on front panel audio. I'd prefer the first option because it lets people with 2 USB3 headers toss the adapter in their junkbox and have a cleaner build. Reply
Liquid_Static - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkWhat else is going to go there... Reply
LB-ID - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkI was doing a fresh Win7 install on a new computer the other day, couldn't figure out why the keyboard and mouse kept going dead during the install process. Figured out it was lack of USB3 support on the OS, so was very very happy to have a couple of USB2 ports on my Nanoxia DS1. Sometimes it pays to have backwards compatibility available... Reply
Threnx - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkI would like it a lot more without the gaudy window. It's 2013, who still thinks those look good? They should go the way of lighted LED fans. Reply
flemeister - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkNot you, evidently! =D
I love the look of a clean side panel window, free of any ugly fan grills. And anyway, it's 2013, where an all-black interior is now pretty much standard for ATX cases. More and more PSU's come with decent looking cables, whether just black insulation on the wiring, or braided sleeving installed by default. And it's *very* easy to find nice looking motherboards and video cards now, compared to ~2009 and earlier. There's been no better (or easier) time to show off the guts of your rig! =) Reply

pdjblum - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkYou continue to be dismissive and arrogant by refusing to even acknowledge by constant complaint about not listing the bill of materials in the spec table. Here is the spec table from the review on bit-tech.net that was also published today:

jdon - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkAnd you continue to be arrogant by refusing to even acknowledge that you are a reader, not an editor. Take a powder, and cut Dustin a little slack or ask nicely. We can Google any information we want that isn't here.
Too bad you cannot quietly do the same. Reply
pdjblum - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkI have asked nicely numerous times to date, but he has not even responded. The review is not complete without the build materials, and a reader should not have to search outside of the review to find out something as pertinent as this. I would have not been such a big shot and responded to one of my polite comments over the years already. Reply
just4U - Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - linkYes but that certainly doesn't mean he's being arrogant or pig-headed about it. Dustin's pretty damn good about fielding questions/comments about his articles. Reply

LB-ID - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkDustin, whatever HAS happened to Antec? They really used to be the market leader in cases, and now they just seem to have whimpered quietly off into the night. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkCan't wait for the inevitable cube-shaped Obsidian case. Hope they go 550D and try to make it silent, but deadly with lots of fan ports. Also, they can toss the window and give me some places for GPU cooling on the side instead.
Too many windows of late, too few places for GPU cooling. Reply

hemi79 - Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - linkThis looks like a great case! I had the C70 and just felt the need for more space so I looked into to the Obsidian models, but the 650D model didn't convince me due to the 200mm fans. This seems like the perfect case for my case. I went with the NZXT Switch in Matte Black and while I had all the space I dreamed of, I have to say the quality of the build and material did not compare to the Corsair C70. I almost regretted it, but I made peace with my decision instead of paying return shipping. lol Reply
UltraWide - Saturday, September 28, 2013 - linkOne thing you can't tell from the pictures and review is how flimsy this case is. The overall quality is very low, more in line with the Carbide series. The design and layout is excellent, but the metal is just too thin and the case frame/structure bends easily. I am returning mine and going with the NZXT H630. Reply
Cainethanatos - Monday, September 30, 2013 - linkOh really, is it that bad ? I am aswell looking at the 750D or the H630 . Dustin, compared to the H630, the build quality better oir worse (or the same(ish) ). Otherwise I might need to flip a coin :) Reply

lorribot - Saturday, October 05, 2013 - linkHands up anyone who would use all 10 HD drive bays? What about all three 5.25 bays?
I do sometimes feel it is a case of "because we can, we will" when it comes to the number drive bays in cases. I imagine most people are likely to need no more than two, one 2.5 and one 3.5, some may need to use a 5.25 for fan controls or even a blue ray but to be honest I can't remember the last time I put a DVD into a computer.
It would be a brave case manufacture that dropped completely or only provided ony a single 5.25 bay (or low profile one) and only 2 or 3 2.5/3.5 multi use bays in anything other than an ITX case
But whatever the case size I would expect improved air flow without all the extra bits of metal spoiling things. It might even reduce prices a bit and simplify installations and provide more layout options internally.
This case like many others reviewed is safe, uninspiring and of little merit. Apart from the odd case that nudges at the boundaries there is nothing really happening in case design, it is ripe for some real design people to step in and provide some real inspiration and flair, sadly it seems that only Apple, albeit freed from the constraints of standard motherboard layouts, is up for the challenge.

limaxophobiac - Friday, October 11, 2013 - link"Noise levels prove to be a victory for Corsair, but they're still struggling to beat NZXT's Phantom 630, which runs both quieter and cooler."
This isn't true at all, look at the test, at Overclocked Load and Full Fat the CPU in the NZXT Phantom 630 is 8-10 degrees hotter, this is HUGE in the 750D favour. Reply

Not know the Corsair RMA policy but they should change the box completely.
I've already put a complaint in the store but they doubt that the supplier's change me for another.
All Obsidian boxes I've had in the European area had a defect.
I hope Corsair fix this or lose a lot of customers Reply

Weapons are at the forefront of all GTA games. Ranging from a fishing knife to rocket-propelled grenades to vibrators, there are many different weapons throughout the series. This article mainly concerns weapons in the GTA III era.
Weapon Skill
In GTA San Andreas, you can increase your skill for a particular weapon by practising, using the weapon either on a shooting range or on real targets. For each individual weapon you can achieve three skill-levels: Poor, Gangster and Hitman. On the Hitman skill level, you will be able to fire lighter weapons whilst walking, as well as being able to double-wield certain weapons (one in each hand).
Obtaining Weapons
Weapons can be obtained by three means. Firstly, a visit to Ammu-Nation will enable you to purchase certain weapons using your money, however not all weapons are available and the cost can be quite high. Secondly, you can kill an armed pedestrian, gang member or character and steal their weapon. Thirdly, once you have reached certain parts of games, such as obtaining a certain number of hidden packages, some weapons will spawn at your Safehouses.
There are several handguns in GTA games:
Weapon List
This is a list of weapons and weapon types in GTA III era games. Not all of them are available in all games. They are grouped by the weapon slots from GTA San Andreas.

SANFORD Link table tennis club are launching a new campaign to increase participation of the sport in the area.
The Stay Active - Stay Healthy venture from Sanford Link and Swindon Sports Forum, with financial backing from the National Lottery is aiming to double particaption at the Link's table tennis sessions and encourage youngsters into the sport.
The launch event is taking place this Saturday at the Link Centre from 10am, with the sports centre offering the opportunity to play table tennis for free throughout the day. Coaches from the Sanford club will also be on hand to offer tips and advice about the game.
Bowen says he is hoping to address the lack of juniors playing table tennis in Swindon.
"We've worked on a project for six or seven months, we've got a National Lottery Grant and the objective of getting girls and boys aged nine to 15 into table tennis. It's for people who aren't active daily, giving them the opportunity to have some fun," said Bowen.
"We're encouraging anybody to come along, and if they want to take it further they have the opportunity.
"The aim is to encourage people to get active and be more healthy, and to get players with potential on to our coaching night on Fridays.
"Swindon has been a bit static in table tennis, but I firmly believe what you put in is what you get out, we're very enthusiastic about doing this. Swindon unfortunately has lacked something like this for while, what we really need is more people encouraging youngsters to play table tennis.
"Sports like football take priority, table tennis is way down the pecking order. It's very difficult to compete what with the World Cup on and things like that."
Bowen hopes to build on the Stay Active - Stay Healthy campaign by getting into schools with the coaches from Sanford and doing sessions to offer further exposure to table tennis and the club.
"The reason I believe table tennis numbers have not improved a lot because no one is going to schools.
"A lot of schools do play table tennis, they do have tables and they would like us to come in, we'll be offering free coaching once every two weeks to those schools that are interested."

Krinosy - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkI want to know what they're going to name the follow up to the HTC One. Reply
willis936 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkAt this point I'd like to propose a "law" similar to Moore's Law based off of technology and market trends:
There will never be a decent smartphone option on Verizon again. Reply
edi_opteron - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI'm sure that Nokia is a bigger more popular tech giant than HTC and today's biggest buzz was Nokia's first android devices... I just can't help thinking why anandtech deliberately overlooks Nokia... Reply
tim851 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkNokia *was* a bigger, more popular tech giant. I don't think they are selling more *smartphones* (those that Anandtech cares about) than HTC now. And that's with HTC tanking. Android + iOS combined for 95.7% of all smartphone sales in Q4/13. So despite the annoyingly vocal Microsoft fanboys, Windows Phone doesn't matter at this point.
And the X phone by Motorola is D.O.A. I'm still baffled that MS let them ship it, seems to be a giant middle finger from Espoo to Redmond. Reply
Belard - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkIt is kind of sad as some brands are being killed off by Apple and Samsung. Its kind of like the PC era of the 80s in which there were several dozens of incompatible PCs (Atari, Commodore, Apple, Mac, IBMPC, TRS80, Ti/99, Sinclair, Z80s etc) which reduce to a handful by 1990~92.
I just needed to replace my phone with a new one. The Blackberry Z10 is beautiful, feels great - but is obviously kind of slow and its a dying platform. Salesman laughed when I asked about NOKIA sales. Its really too bad that Nokia doesn't make Android phones with Lumia hardware. The Nokia Lumia 1020 is a beautiful phone, its camera is unmatched by ANY other phone on the market - not even the Samsung S4-Zoom, which has good optics but makes for a horrible phone.
But I, like many others do not LIKE Windows8 and sure don't want a Windows8 phone!
I thought the Moto X was going to do very well, it has great reviews (Especially this site), it feels great in the hand. It looks great, with its large selection of colors. Which I'd admit, you could spend a lot of time playing with the color tools to order the phone.
At&t only has the HTC ONE & mini, a few LGs, a few Nokias, several Samsungs and the iPhone line. I don't care for all the junk on Samsung and can't stand the cheap plastic feel. Other than the expensive huge FLEX, the older LGs also use cheap plastic and the controls feel strange. HTC is old with weak battery compared to newer phones. I really don't care for these HUGE phones on the market. The HTC mini is really flimsy and cheap and the Galaxy S-Mini is really older-tech with newer body style.
Even thou the MOTO X has a weak camera in some ways (best from Motorola so far), that is what I went with. I chose my own color design that will stand out from all the black or white phones on the market. (Yeah, it took me over an hour to settle on my choices) I even considered putting the printed label on the back "SAMSUNG" or "iPhone " and "iPhone Suck Balls" for laughs. It doesn't have the 5~5.5" screens of most of todays phones - but its 4.7" display and thin body feels great to hold, its well balanced and I can tell instantly if its upside down. I hope the MOTO X2 was out (if it does), but I couldn't wait.
What sucks on ALL NEW Android phones is the horrible Google Maps 7.x. Its functionally useless (but looks pretty). It missing features, its NAV doesn't work very well, it takes far more clicks to get to where you need to go - if its there at all. For example, if you detour off the route, it'll keep trying to get YOU back to the original path, rather than adjust for the detour. No map saves. No street names, or you can't see them... the 3D building looks are pretty, but means nothing with a useless MAP function. Thank god there are tricks to installing 6.14(hacked) along side of 7. Hopefully Google will get their heads out of their butts and fix it with version 8. Reply
Sunrise089 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI know some people either hate contracts or use providers other than AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile, but for me these 'midrange' phones couldn't be less interesting. I use my phone for an hour+ per day, so the hardware cost per hour/day of use is extremely low. Saving less than $200 in the contract paradigm or even $300+ in the no contract world doesn't seem worthwhile with how important a phone is day-to-day for most people. Reply
Bobs_Your_Uncle - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkA General Note:
Joshua: You're a recent arrival to AT & we now get to witness your mettle under short-form rapid-fire conditions. (You've certainly been no slouch so far!) Best Wishes To You!
More generally on topic:
I confess to some degree of confused amazement over the failure of ANY mfg. except HTC to implement dual/stereo front firing speakers. Sure, physics inarguably limits what can be realized in such a small form factor, & I get cost/benefit, etc. But when this feature was introduced on the One, I thought the industry would experience a collective moment of, "How could I/we have conceivably EVER missed this!" While maybe not everyone's 1st priority, sound quality does matter & I just really don't get HTC's exclusivity here.
Re: HTC:
I've had positive experiences with HTC in years past & I wish them well in achieving a focused, well reasoned future path. While I freely acknowledge their seemingly directionless, mumbling shuffle around some corners of the room in the more recent past, I still consider the HTC One to be one of the finest (if not the absolute finest) phones ever to be designed & commercially released; even while allowing for it's arguably significant shortcomings (Ultra-Pixel execution, etc.).
HTC's history boasts a number of exceptionally innovative (honest usage of "innovate": no gratuitous "buzz word de jour" usages allowed!) ... innovative approaches & industry achievements. Consumers & the broader market can only benefit from the technological progress driven through participation of strong competitors. Here's hoping HTC is one of them! Reply
bhima - Friday, February 28, 2014 - linkBesides the occasional speakerphone use... what is the point for a manufacturer to waste cost on the speaker in a phone? It will NEVER be better than even a $10 pair of earbuds, let alone the nicer headphones out there. Better to spend that money on a nicer DAC inside the phone. Reply
errorr - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI don't see how HTC can survive in the low margin business that is non-samsung android.
I expected lenovo to buy them but with moto now their smartphone business I don't see how HTC can compete with the cost structure of lenovo, huawei, etc... Reply
Krinosy - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkI think Lenovo were shopping around for an ailing but strong consumer brand (seeing as they tried Nokia and Blackberry before settling for Moto) and to be honest HTC's branding was, is and continues to be a horrible mess not worth buying. Reply

ShieTar - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkAny way you could just give actual resolutions in the tables rather than these acronyms? I had to google qHD, because for a short moment there I thought it could actually mean Quad-HD. Seems to mean quarter-HD instead.
I just don't think there is a single person in the world for whom qHD is a more relevant information than 960x540. Some people may know the acronyms by heart, but those people will surely not be confused by seeing the actual numbers. And everybody else is saved a trip to Wikipedia. Reply
Brian Klug - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkqHD has been around for so long I didn't think anyone didn't know what it meant, but yes, 960x540 is indeed right, as in one Quarter HD. I usually always try to put the numbers beside the acronyms, just didn't this one time.
-Brian Reply
yannigr - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkAgree with you 100%. No reason to wright exams every time reading an article. There are so many devices and hardware out there that even many people who do follow technology, like me, can't remember everything. And really, WHY remember everything? Reply
sheh - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkYeah. I was wondering about that, including a searh engine trip also for WVGA. As usual, I was thinking that all these resolution acronyms are silly and worthless. Why would anyone want to memorize 50 acronyms for saving a few characters. At least I know what VGA is (though I think it should actually mean 320x200 :)). Reply
Doh! - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkWith Nexus 4 with much better hardware spec. and the recent lowered price, I think these new HTC phones have a tough battle ahead of them. Reply
piroroadkill - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkUltra pointless low specs.
Seriously, once you get to specs this bad, you honestly should just head to ebay and buy a chinese phone with a cheesy quad core cortex A5, several batteries, and so on, for less. You'll get a higher res screen and a more recent version of Android to boot.. Reply
yannigr - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkYou are not going to find articles for cheap noname Chinese devices in Anandtech, so why bother reading the article and commenting?
Anyway, I do agree that you can buy good and powerful Chinese phones at half the prices but their are people who feel better putting a known brand phone 2 centimeters from their brains than a no name one, no matter how better specs or/and lower price it have. Reply
willis936 - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkWow that blue One. Just. Wow.
My opinion of a piece of hardware has never been shaped by aesthetics before but their marketing team can pat themselves on the back for this one. Reply

marc1000 - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkloved the blue One too. the black details match with the screen, and with this blue it looks like it came from some years in the future.
