Familiarity with Flex and/or ActionScript 3
Building on the release of Flash Builder 4, Flash Builder 4.5 introduces a range of improvements to the code editing environment that will help to make you more productive when writing Flex and ActionScript code.
Knowing what tools are available to you and how/when to invoke them are key to improving your coding productivity—by reading this article you'll learn about the new features included in this release and be using them as you code in no time at all.
In particular, we'll highlight the following Flash Builder 4.5 features:
Say, you have defined a variable of type Array and want to write a 'for loop' to go through the elements of that Array. Rather than typing all the code yourself, you can now use Flash Builder 4.5 to generate the for loop for you. To do so, just type "fori" and press Ctrl + Space (see Figure 1).
Code templates enable you to auto-insert code patterns that you frequently use by using Content Assist (Ctrl + Space). Code templates are context-based and can range from a 'for loop' in ActionScript to a WebService tag in MXML. Over 100 pre-defined ActionScript, MXML and CSS templates are shipped with Flash Builder 4.5:
You can view and edit the pre-defined templates by going to Preferences > Flash Builder > Editors > Code Templates > ActionScript/CSS/MXML (see Figure 2).
You can define new templates for frequently-used coding patterns, as well as import/export code templates, so as to share a consistent set of templates within a team environment.
Apart from creating your own code templates, there are various scenarios in which Flash Builder generates code for you – event handler, function, getter/setter, etc.. Now, you can customize the code generated by Flash Builder by using templates. You can view and edit these templates by going to Preferences > Flash Builder > Editors > Code Templates > Flash Builder (see Figure 3).
You can edit the templates, as well as import/export the templates, so as to share a consistent set of templates within a team environment.
To customize the event handler template such that the generated namespace is private and the handler name is componentName_on_event, you can modify the event handler template (see Figure 4).
The generated event handler will look like Figure 5.
You can use the new metadata code completion support to enter metadata tags. Metadata hints are displayed when you enter the '[' character in the editor close to a class, method, or variable definition. A list of valid metadata tags that are contextual to the location within the class or MXML appear. You can select the metadata tag that you want to insert from this list. If you don't see the metadata tag you need, then simply press CTRL+space again to see the full list of available choices (see Figure 6).
On selecting a tag, Flash Builder generates the metadata tag with the mandatory attributes. You can then easily navigate from one value to another using the tab key (see Figure 7).
You can use Content Assist to easily enter class names and property names in the metadata tag. For example, when you add an [Event] tag, you can select the required event class from a list of all the event classes available in the project (see Figure 8).
You can also insert the optional attributes using Content Assist.
Flash Builder also supports metadata tags from third party SWCs if they have the required metadata.xml file embedded in them.
While implementing a class or customizing a base class behavior, you would need to frequently override super class methods and implement interface methods. In Flash Builder 4.5, you can achieve this task easily using the Override/Implement methods dialog box available from the Source menu. This dialog box displays a list of classes from which the active class inherits, and the interfaces that it implements (see Figure 9).
From each super class, you can select the methods that you want to override, while for each interface, you can select the methods that you want to implement. You can also select the location at which the methods are to be inserted. Flash Builder generates the code stubs for the selected methods.
Quick Assist provides a context-based list of actions to help you with everyday coding tasks. To invoke Quick Assist, use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + 1 or select Quick Fix/Assist from the context menu (see Figure 10).
The various Quick Assists introduced in Flash Builder 4.5 are discussed below:
While coding, how many times do you realize that a variable, method, class or interface is not defined and that you can't continue coding before you define these? Generate from usage is all about defining the undefined. It gives you a convenient option to generate place-holder stub code using Quick Assist (Ctrl + 1). All the undefined references will be highlighted with orange squiggles, so that you know when something is not defined and use Generate from usage.
The following are the various generate from usage options:
In addition to the code editing improvements already discussed, Flash Builder 4.5 provides enhanced support for editing CSS code.
You can insert a reference to a class is easily in Flash Builder 4.5 using the content assist available inside the ClassReference tag as shown in the following figure (see Figure 16).
Flash Builder 4.5 provides code completion support for various media query element (see Figure 17).
You can navigate to the class of a selector or a referenced class using the hyperlink as shown in the figures below (see Figures 18 and 19). The hyperlink is displayed by holding the Ctrl or Cmd key when hovering over with the mouse. You can also use Navigate->Open Declaration menu option when the cursor is on the selector or class name in the ClassReference tag.
Now you've read about the new features in this release that will enhance your coding productivity, we encourage you to download Flash Builder 4.5 and experience them for yourself. To learn more, read the following article:
You can also check out the What's new in Flash Builder 4.5 article for more information on the other new features added in this release.

Talented Port Allegany quarterback to test Clairton defense
Titus Howard has spent a lot of time watching Clairton football games, usually after the starters were pulled during a Bears blowout.
This week will be different as Howard, a Pitt recruit, has been ruled out because of a dislocated left elbow he suffered in the team's 61st straight victory, a 53-0 romp over District 5 champion Berlin Brothersvalley in the PIAA Class A quarterfinals.
"It's getting better and it's healing good, but I went to the doctors and they said I was definitely out this week," Howard said. "It's going to be frustrating because I haven't watched a high school game at Clairton when I haven't been in it."
And this is the game that Howard, and every other defensive back on the team for that matter, has been looking toward. Clairton (14-0) will take on District 9 champion Port Allegany (13-0) at 7 p.m. Friday at Deer Lakes. The Gators feature senior quarterback Matt Bodamer, who earlier this season became the most prolific passer in state history as he eclipsed the previous state record of 9,752 yards set by Brockway's Derek Buganza from 2007-10. He also has rushed for a team-leading 832 yards and 13 TDs.
Bodamer has 10,755 career passing yards, a state record 136 touchdowns and is just 67 yards away from breaking Buganza's single-season state record of 3,824 yards set in 2009. He is just one touchdown pass away from tying the state record of 52 set by South Fayette alumnus Christian Brumbaugh in 2010.
Without Howard, the still-uber talented defensive backfield will lean on Kent State recruit Terrish Webb and safety Tyler Boyd, as well as and speedster Bryon Clifford.
"They have speed galore and they are so fast and so athletic," said Port Allegheny coach Michael Bodamer, the quarterback's father. "Most high school teams, you may have three or four kids that you have to get past, but they have 11, they all just fly to the ball. The one thing I noticed on tape was they're all good tacklers, and they don't seem to miss any type of tackle."
Teams have attempted to spread Clairton out and run a four-wide, no-huddle offense. The last to try it was Sto-Rox in the WPIAL Class A championship game, where the Bears shrugged off a 7-6 deficit for a 58-21 victory.
"Their defensive backs are so talented that they just come up in press coverage at the line of scrimmage, and they can, basically, run with anybody," Michael Bodamer said. "That's going to be a big challenge for us offensively and then they bring so much pressure that we have to be quick if we can find anybody open."
Port Allegany has to figure out a way to stop Boyd, who last week became the WPIAL's all-time scoring leader with his 114th career touchdown. He needs 10 to break the state record set by Bryan Bellas of Bishop O'Reilly in Wilkes-Barre from 1995-98.
"You just have to be aware of him and get a really good, solid hit on him," Michael Bodamer said. "You have to try to contain him between the tackles and kind of brace him in because, once he gets to the edge by himself, it's almost impossible to stop him."

Did you know?
Tsitsikamma, which means 'the place of much water', is a Khoi word. The Khoi people were this area's first inhabitants.
You're on the bustling N2 between Jeffreys Bay in the Eastern Cape and Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route and suddenly there's a turn-off sign to the town of Storms River: the transformation from your busy motorway experience to instantly being in a world of wood is astounding.
You drive the few kilometres into the Tsitsikamma Forest and arrive at this tiny settlement tucked away in the trees.
You'll also notice, on a walkabout of Storms River, that there's a lot of adventure activity on the go. They swing from the trees on canopy tours; they ride deep into the forest in specially designed vehicles with a guide who takes them on a woodcutter's journey; they also embark on fascinating forest walks with trained locals who know the wood from the trees.
In the late 1700s, teams of men moved into the Tsitsikamma Forest and began to cut down the old growth, among them massive yellowwoods, stinkwoods and ironwoods, to supply timber to the Dutch East India Company.
They stayed in the forest, lived on coffee and small game, distilled their own brand of liquor and generally became a rather boisterous law unto themselves.
A century later, genius builder Thomas Bain was commissioned to construct a road through the Tsitsikamma in a bid to connect Port Elizabeth with Cape Town.
It was said at that time that the Tsitsikamma Forest was occupied only by elephants, buffaloes, woodcutters, hunters and bandits.
If you walk into the bar of the Tsitsikamma Village Inn situated in the centre of Storms River, you will hear how this very spot was the drinking hole of aforesaid rough diamonds.
Today, it's altogether more serene in Storms River, except for the occasional yelp of glee from someone on a canopy tour or the strains of Love Me Tender wafting through from the annual Elvis Festival staged by the inn.

How to get here
Storms River is about 100km west of Jeffreys Bay off the N2 highway. It also lies less than 60km east of Plettenberg Bay.
Best time to visit
With its relatively moderate coastal climate, Storms River is an all-year destination.
Around the area
You're in the heart of prime South African touring country: the top of the Garden Route and the foot of the Eastern Cape. The Garden Route Active website will point you to dozens of places you can go and activities you can engage in.
If you're the daring sort, you should try the the Bloukrans Bungee, located about 20km from the Storms River Valley at the Bloukrans Bridge. At 216m high, it is the largest commercial bungee jump in the world.
Tours to do
The woodcutter's tour out of Storms River will acquaint you with the flora and fauna of the Tsitsikamma Forest.
Get around
There are a number of Garden Route bus tours available from centres like Cape Town, but the most popular way to get around is still by driving yourself.
What will it cost
See the rates for the various activities and accommodation on the Stormsriver Adventures, Tsitsikamma Village Inn and Active Garden Route websites.
Length of stay
Storms River is worth a two-day stay.
What to pack
Pack for walking in the woods; perhaps some rain gear; and definitely something warm for the colder nights.
Where to stay
The Tsitsikamma Forest Inn or various backpackers like the Tube 'n Axe – see the Tsitsikamma Forest Inn and Stormsriver Adventures websites.
What to eat
Good pub grub at the Village Inn bar.
What's happening
If you're an Elvis fan, you must come to Storms River in September for the Elvis Presley Festival.
Best buys
Stanley Grootboom's art at the Khoisan Village near the Bloukrantz Bridge bungee jump.

Folgers is Still America's Favorite Coffee
Despite all of the fancier coffees currently on the market, Americans by and large still want to "put Folgers in [their] cup." According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Folgers is America's top coffee brand. It was ranked top coffee brand of the year by Harris Poll EquiTrend rankings for 2013 and sales have grown 4 percent in the last business quarter. Other brands that are considered more of the moment, like Starbucks, have been putting out more volume in supermarkets, but they just can't seem to compete with Folgers. The over-150-year-old company holds a 15.6 percent share of the U.S. market while Starbucks only holds 3.3 percent.

Thousands gathered in Soweto's enormous stadium for a lively memorial service celebrating Nelson Mandela's life yesterday but much of the news focused on the behaviour of the attendees rather than on Madiba's legacy.
The memorial event was overshadowed by the crowd's hostile reaction to South African president Jacob Zuma, a historic handshake between US and Cuban leaders and shameless selfies as western leaders hogged the limelight. In a surreal turn of events, it emerged that the man interpreting the proceedings live on television for deaf viewers was a hoax.
Here are some reports and analysis on the significance of the day and the high jinks in the audience. Read more

The Fire Brigades Union has announced plans for eight days of consecutive strike action, to follow from a nine-hour walkout next week.
Firefighters across the country will conduct their latest in a long line of strikes next Thursday, with Wiltshire crews set to join other striking public sector workers at a rally outside County Hall in Trowbridge.
Firefighters have been striking as part of a length dispute with the government over pension changes, with the most recent strike coming on June 21, when a major fire started at the EJ Shanley scrap yard in Trowbridge. Many firefighters suspended the strike action to tackle the fire, as others were drafted in from across the county.
The following week will see a series of two-hour strikes take place twice a day every day except Sunday, from Monday July 14 to July 21, totalling 30 hours.
The full times of the walkout are as follows:
• Monday 14 July: 6am–8am and 5pm–7pm
• Tuesday 15 July: 6am–8am and 5pm–7pm
• Wednesday 16 July: 6am–8am and 5pm–7pm
• Thursday 17 July: 6am–8am and 5pm–7pm
• Friday 18 July: 6am–8am and 11pm–1am on Saturday 19 July
• Saturday 19 July: 11am–1pm and 11pm–1am on Sunday 20 July
• Sunday 20 July: 5pm–7pm
• Monday 21 July: 6am–8am and 5pm–7pm
Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said it will endeavour to provide the best possible emergency response during the strike, and has urged businesses and residents to take extra care during the strike periods.

Around the first part of September, I began to receive a few phone calls, emails and letters. Just a trickle of sorts. People wanting to submit their loved one's name for the Bureau County Republican's annual Salute to Veterans special section in honor of Veterans Day.
It started off quietly enough. A phone call here, an email there, a couple of letters in the mail for the week. And then it started to grow. I would arrive at work Monday morning to a couple of voice mails from people calling during the weekend. The emails would start to come at a faster pace. I would return from lunch with a stack of envelopes filled with names.
And then it really took off. Each day I would receive a stack of letters, countless phone calls and voice mails and so many emails. I began to worry one would fall through the cracks.
Each week, I would do a check to make sure for every name we had received the photo was there as well. I was amazed to see how rapidly our list was growing. What was a few dozen names in one week exploded into a hundred names, then a few hundred names.
And then the list from DePue arrived. All 189 hand-written names, hometowns, branches of the armed forces, years served, date of deaths or killed in action. Each one meticulously written and in a handwriting that would make the author's school teachers proud. With that, the list jumped again, and we had nearly 500 names.
But we weren't quite finished; our deadline was still a couple of weeks out. There was still time to add names.
They continued to pour in from every city, town and village in our area. But they didn't stop at the Illinois Valley borders. We have submissions for veterans from around the country, but who have ties to the Illinois Valley.
Sometimes I would receive a call from a veteran who would tell me a story from his time served. Each time I would hear their stories I could only wonder, did they ever tell their family that? My grandfather served in the Navy from 1950-54. He died when I was 11 years old. I can't remember him talking about his time overseas but maybe he told my older cousins.
Slowly, our deadline for submissions began to loom. I thought surely we would receive a final push before Oct. 11. And was I ever right. I received a list of 208 names with photos and a list of 46 names without photos. The list of names without photos was comprised mostly of veterans who served during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. I don't know if the person who sent the list is related to all of them or not, but I was touched regardless.
At last, the deadline passed, and the true work began. Meticulously we separated the names to fit the pages, made sure the veterans' photos matched up, and placed all 35 pages. The effort was not without some setbacks, but finally the section was completed.
We have more than 900 names listed in this year's issue. I was truly honored by the opportunity to put together this section paying tribute to those who protect our rights and freedoms, and I was humbled by the number of veterans who were submitted. At this moment, I wish to say thank you to all those who currently serve and those who have served. Your sacrifices make our lives possible. So please make sure you look through the section on Saturday ... and on Monday, if you see a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, make sure you thank them for their service.

This week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer kicked off the 2013 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) with Windows 8.1 "Blue" front and center. He piled on his usual hyperbolic praise ("nothing short of the most remarkable replatforming of Windows, basically since 1995"), tacitly acknowledged criticism of Windows 8, and announced that the final version (RTM, or release to manufacturing) would go to PC makers in late August so that they could sell PCs with Windows 8.1 preinstalled before the holiday season -- especially for those planning to offer mini tablets, which Windows 8 does not support well.
The big question, though, is will Windows 8.1 be good news for users who are already struggling with Windows 8.
[ Woody Leonhard reveals the black underbelly of Windows 8.1 Milestone Preview. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
I've been working with the Windows 8.1 Milestone Preview, and it all seems to come down to one new Navigation tab in the Taskbar and Navigation properties pane. You now have more control over what your OS does with those hot corners (turn them off if you want) and that Start screen. You can make your PC boot right to the "legacy" Desktop, you can go right to the All Apps view when going to the Start screen and make a few other tweaks. Is it exactly what people wanted? No, it's a compromise.
For those of us already using Windows 8, moving to Windows 8.1 is a no-brainer. It's going to be free and available through the Windows Store. As a Surface RT user, now I'm looking forward to the new Outlook RT app as well in Windows RT 8.1.
Ballmer said that Microsoft believes it has changed as a company from a software provider to a devices and services company. His keynote highlighted Windows Phone, Office 365, Windows Azure, and big data concerns of enterprise customers.
I'm at the WPC this week to discuss Exchange and regulatory compliance, and I can feel the positive energy here. A more usable (less abrasive -- cue chuckle) Windows 8.1 combined with improvements in cloud-based offerings like Azure and Office 365 give Microsoft partners hope that, with an improving economy, things are on an upswing all around.

MALVERN'S newest community centre will be inviting residents to celebrate its first birthday next Saturday, February 15.
The Malvern Vale Community Centre was built at the heard of the Malvern Vale estate, which has been developed over the last few years on the former North Site defence base.
The £800,000 centre was funded by Persimmon Homes as part of the housing development. It is owned Malvern Hills District Council and managed by Worcestershire YMCA.
And over the past 12 months, it has proved to be a great asset to the local community, with many groups using it as a base.
Centre manager Abby Hanley said it has had a good first year, and everyone involved is looking forward to building on its success.
Among the activities that use the centre are yoga, pilates and other exercise and fitness classes, the Beacon Camer aClub, Squirrels nursery, a youth club and two football teams.
"To celebrate how well we're doing, we're having this birthday party next Saturday, and we're inviting everyone from the community to come along and see what we're all about," she said.
"There will be lots of fun activities and plenty of stalls and people to meet. It runs from noon until 3pm, and it's not just for people from the new estate. All will be welcome."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/8/2012 (1825 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I tend to see things from a different perspective than most people.
For instance, many fans were elated by Joey Elliott's performance last week when he threw for over 400 yards, the first time a Bombers quarterback has done that since 2009. While that feat was remarkable, I found it more alarming that it had been three-plus years since the Blue and Gold had a QB in the stable that could put up those kinds of numbers.
In addition, many people probably think a stewing quarterback controversy and a search for the face of the franchise is divisive in the locker-room and to be avoided at all costs. I happen to think the fact there is a bona fide argument over which QB should be the No. 1 guy is the best thing that could happen to this team.
The Bombers haven't had more than one good quarterback on the roster since Khari Jones and Kevin Glenn threw down back in 2004. Now they have four, so this is a debate and controversy this team and town should embrace with open arms. The more sound arguments about which quarterback has the skill set to be leading this team, the better off the team is. If someone's delicate sensibilities get stepped on in the process, it's the price of doing business.
This competition for the top job has already begun in earnest. If Elliott hadn't acquitted himself so well last week, Buck Pierce probably would have been pressed into action for tonight's game, and alluded to as much with his comments in the paper about his expectations to practise this past week. Yet when you are 2-5, you have to ride the hot hand, and one win in a row is as hot as it's gotten thus far this season, so continuing on with the Joey Elliott Show right now is a no-brainer.
If the Bombers beat the Lions, not only could this be the catalyst for a season-changing turnaround, it puts the debate on the back burner for the time being. Unless Elliott does a 180 from last week and is bailed out by the defence and a running game that improbably leads the team to victory, there is not even a discussion about who leads the troops into the Labour Day Classic.
Yet if the Bombers aren't so fortunate to be victorious this evening, and the quarterback performance follows suit, then the QB controversy will burn as bright as we have seen in these parts for some time.
In defeat, there will be more scrutiny on Elliott's game than a new strain of bacteria on a petri dish and it will be measured against what Pierce brings to the table.
Elliott's best foot forward tonight is a style of play that minimizes unforced errors. Last week, he was fortunate to not be intercepted two, possibly three times against Hamilton. If he can balance his bravado and aggression with caution and patience, he may remain in the driver's seat no matter the statistics or outcome. If the CFL's best defence gets one step ahead of him though, and throws looks and pressures at him that rattle him and reveal his lack of experience, a changing of the guard may be in order when the Prairie rivals square off in nine days.
There is no question Elliott's performance last week was the strongest pivot play the Bombers have seen this season. Yet it also bears mentioning Elliott reaped the benefits from all of the tools that surround him in the offensive workshop, against likely the weakest possible defence.
Whether he was the catalyst and inspiration should be answered emphatically tonight. In fact, it made me wonder how Pierce would perform with Chad Simpson in the backfield and a legitimate running game, with the offensive line playing their best football and with Cory Watson and the receiving corps coming into their own against a defence that scared nobody.
But how many more valuable starting repetitions can you continue to offer a quarterback that may never escape the clutches of the treatment room, and therefore may no longer be the long-term solution?
Whether they keep it simple for us armchair evaluators with a convincing win tonight, or muck it up with a less-than-decisive performance in a loss, for the first time in a long while, I'm optimistic about the most important position on the field since Jones and Glenn were a talented tandem for this ball club, and a QB controversy, seemingly a lifetime ago.

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 10.2.13
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed where normally I'd take an offhand shot at a political hot topic, like the current government shutdown, but the bleak reality of our completely broken system isn't geting me in the mood for snark. Plus, shoving ideology into a feature that on a daily basis contains pictures like this one where the only purpose is to bait a blow job joke isn't appropriate or effective. So allow me to tee off the first blow job joke with Farrah Abraham, who's probably requesting a procedure to have her throat widened. To fit more dicks. There's also John Lithgow, who thinks your messenger bag is for fags, Joe Gorga's nightmare, David Beckham dangling above John Travolta's cage in an object lesson about the dangers of rejecting Scientology, and Kate Upton without makeup.
And cue guys trying to pretend a few zits would ever make them ignore the mind erasing magic of giant breasts. Try to tell me that face on anything under a C cup wouldn't be ringing up gas,

gregounech - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - link2.3GHz here we go... Reply
gobaers - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkFollowing up on Brian and Anand's podcast conversation, I wonder what this "2.3" should really be called. I assume it's peak frequency at max-rated TDP, and continual use is probably going to be somewhere in 1.2-1.3 range. Reply
Zink - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkPeak frequency is the most important spec in a device like a phone. I think it is really weird in the x86 space how Intel for example will advertise an i5 CPU as "1.3 GHz" even if all-core turbo is 2.3 GHz and the chip never drops below 2 GHz under even heavy load. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkWhat's weirder is Intel's very useless SDP metric. Intel pretends we won't care about peak TDP. Of course we do! We want to know how hot the phone will get under maximum load. But Intel thinks it can get around that by tricking us with "lower" W numbers in the form of SDP. Reply
Zink - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkAny modern processor will throttle down clocks if it is using more power than the device it is installed in can handle so I think SDP is a good idea. It lets you know what kind of device a chip is intended to run in. For example, Anand found the Nexus 10 has an 8 W TDP but the chip quickly throttles to run at a 4 W SDP. If Intel says they have a 5 W sdp part then what they're saying is that it can run in a passive tablet form factor. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6536/arm-vs-x86-the-...
None of the other manufacturers of mobile ARM chips list power usage numbers and the don't need to, benchmarks and UX speak for themselves and it is up to the device maker to decide how much cooling is necessary and how to adjust clock speeds to control temperatures. It wouldn't matter to me if a phone's spec sheet said 2 W or 4 W, I only care how fast it is and how long the battery lasts. Reply
FwFred - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkMore useful than Qualcomm's non-existent spec. Or do you think the Snapdragon 800 can run at 2.3 GHz on all 4 cores and max out the GPU with no thermal limitations? Reply
Pessimism - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkHighly unlikely but would be awesome if it did. Not too impressed with my Optimus G that throttles its CPU and screen brightness back if you look at it funny. Reply
tabascosauz - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkUnless CPU governor is set to performance, nearly all phones today will run at clock speeds below 1 GHz. I doubt the S800 will hit its 2.3GHz ceiling in everyday use, even in moderately demanding applications.
It would be nice if Qualcomm wasn't so secretive about its products. It wasn't until Motorola announced its X8 platform (a.k.a. enhanced MSM8960T) that we knew Adreno 320 actually was a quad-core part. I mean come on, IT and Nvidia both let us know what their GPU architecture looks like, why can't you, Qualcomm? You're pretty much the leader right now. Reply
BigLan - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkThose bezels look unbelievably small - I want to try it in hand to see if it makes the phone easier to handle.
The rest of the specs look good - sounds like the camera will be one of the best with ois and the cpu should be one of the fastest too.
How easy have LG been to get a custom rom on in the past (any looked bootloaders?) and how hated is their skin compared to Sense or Touch?
Also, does this have an ir port like the SG4 or HTC One? Reply
perrrrrt - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkIt will definitely be supported by many ROMs seeing those specs!
Yes it has an IR port. Reply
Mondozai - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkI hope they are as good to the dev community as Sony is. Anyone know anything on this topic, how were they with Optimus G & G Pro? Reply
arthur449 - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkDue to their similarity to the Nexus 4, rooting and unlocking was a breeze.
As for ROMs, it depends on the specific model. The AT&T / Canadian / International Optimus Gs have fully operational 4.2.2 AOSP ROMs, the Sprint Optimus G on 4.2.2 AOSP ROMs has a camera bug where it'll only focus the first time the app is launched and remains out of focus until the camera app is force closed and restarted. Scripts to kill / launch the camera app are a common fix for this problem.
Eco Mode (where two of the four cores are disabled) on Optimus Gs tends to only function on the Stock-based ROMs, whereas AOSP-based ROMs have an issue where the minimum CPU frequency is ignored and require 3rd party tools such as Trickster Mod to reduce and lock the minimum frequency to achieve only moderately less battery life than stock ROMs.
LG Mobile USA, like most smartphone OEMs is quick to forget about updates for phones more than four months old. The Optimus G launched in October 2012 with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 (finalized in July 2012). The Nexus 4 launched in November 2012 with 4.2.
It was only after the launch of the Optimus G Pro on AT&T that owners of the now 5-month-old Optimus G (based on nearly identical hardware) saw an update to 4.1.2. We're still waiting on an official 4.2.2 for the Sprint LGOG which would hopefully hammer out the focus lock issue and give us a stable, feature complete 3rd party ROM.
TL;DR If you want updates, get a Nexus or Google Edition device. If you want silly features and top-of-the-spec-chart hardware they'll abandon in 5 months (and poor XDA developers won't be able to support/reproduce before the phones stop working) get one of these. Reply
tabascosauz - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkPretty good, actually. With the G pro, I can't say because it's only been released on AT&T and no one seems to care about devs in Korea. All you have to do is search up Optimus G on XDA to see how far it's come. LG isn't so keen on locking down its phones, it has the usual bootloader lock but look how quickly that was undone with FreeGee. LGOG users should feel lucky... Reply
rolfen - Monday, May 11, 2015 - linkit makes thr phone harder to handle, as your fingers would inadvertedly trigger touch events if you're not holding it carefully. Reply
rolfen - Monday, May 11, 2015 - linkcamera is relatively good for mobile. compared to proper cameras its still crap. cpu is fast its abour the best things about this device. its affordable, and it looks good, although the design is daft and uninspired, despite the back buttons which, no, are not a great idea. Reply
mmrezaie - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkGive me the google edition then its far better than s4 (please give your patches of alsa to android open source). I hope the battery is improved in Moto X levels (24 hr). Reply
mgns - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkDon't they have to? ALSA is GPL and they are distributing it. Reply
A5 - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkALSA is licensed under the GPL, so theoretically the source will be available somewhere. No idea if it will be incorporated into AOSP, though. Reply
DavidW617 - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkI'm sorry to burst your bubble about 24bit audio but you may want to read this: http://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html Reply
p1esk - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkWow, that's a great article. A real eye-opener. I wonder why this info is not more widely known, especially among those who is interested in a good sound. Reply
ThortonBe - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkThanks for sharing that article. Anandtech is pretty good, but audio seems to be a weak-point from a staff standpoint. Reply
DesktopMan - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkWas going to post this, beat me to it. Developer time we'll spent. Or not. This and 1080p feels like another megapixel race which only results in lower quality. Reply
CoryS - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkIs that really a soft menu button? Reply
Zink - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkIn a hands on video LG showed you can choose what soft button you want and what order they are arranged in. LG has added a ton of software tweaks like Samsung does. If they do a good job and manage to improve the user experience without creating too many problems then this phone seems to have everything. A Google edition or even Nexus version would be even cooler. Reply
CoryS - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkyeh, but none of those options let you remove the menu button, or add a multitasking button. Reply
quiksilvr - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkPlease PLEASE make a Google Play Edition of this... Reply
ISwearImCool - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkPlease PLEASE base the 2013 nexus 4 off of this... Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkLooks perfect. Unless some bad reviews come out, this is my next phone. Love the rear volume, small bezels and 3000ma battery. Reply
jjj - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkThe thin bezel is nice, OIS , 24 bit audio are nice too.
I don't see anything about SD and wireless charging though.I won't touch any device without microSD and wireless charging is starting to become a must in the high end.
Hilarious though to not include microSD and advertise 24bit audio, can't really fit much in 16/32GB... and then if you wanna do 1080p at 60FPS. Hate it when they cripple devices to extort a few extra $, this Apple greed is contagious.
It's depressing to have to buy Samsung, they are too big anyway but almost everybody else insists on being morons. Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkI am not sure about wireless charging, but it definitely has SD. This thing looks sweet! I cant wait to get my hands on it. Reply
arthur449 - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkLG Mobile USA on Google+ confirmed a minute ago that the G2 does NOT have a MicroSD slot. Reply
fteoath64 - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkNo Sd slot. No Sale. Pity. Moronic omission that almost cost HTC its future and could still do ... Reply
thesavvymage - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkno sd, the back is sealed Reply
Mondozai - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkDo you need more than 32 gigabyte? With cloud services?
Red herring. Replacable battery is more important. Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkPeople always say "cloud services" when someone brings up needing more storage. In my world, that means giving up security for one thing and having to pay higher contract charges for another. I have a 300 MB phone contract that is enough for my usual needs. If I start to stream stuff though, I eat through that in a few days. Which means coughing up 5, 10, 20 additional € per month for something that can be solved by adding a 40€ mSD card. Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkThis has SD. It wasn't specifically mentioned on the Anandtech article, but it does have it on the official spec list from LG. Reply
thesavvymage - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkLG USA has confirmed there is NO micro-sd Reply
crashinghero - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkSo you're going to stream 9mbps audio and store 1080p60 video on the cloud? Hope you've still got unlimited data... That said, the HiFi features are pretty useless even with tons of internal storage due to size and, more importantly, content availability constraints. That's why Creative Labs had to introduce their Crystallizer technology a decade or so ago - what's the point of HiFi signal chains when your source quality is crap? Reply
lmcd - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkSomeone needs to come up with a line of cases that plug into the USB port and provide expansion storage. I'd love me a case that threw some extra storage on, if I had a device without a mSD card.
Also, these phones need to give up on USB 2.0 and move to 3.0 for faster charging and data rates. Reply
CoryS - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkI backed this for 12 bucks or so...should ship soon. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-m... Reply
arthur449 - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkFor that to work, the USB port on this phone would have to support USB OTG which the original Optimus G / Nexus 4 did not.
Technically, they supported it, but they weren't capable of supplying 5V over the appropriate pin. Support for USB OTG was hacked into the Nexus 4 and International Optimus Gs with a combination of a hardware mod for the 5V rail and a kernel hack. Woo. Reply
CoryS - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkI know all this...however I'm not sure how two devices that don't support it make the device irrelevant? It iwl be great on the HTC One, Nexus 7, and most likely the LG G2 Reply
Impulses - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkYou don't need USB 3.0 for faster charging (phone charging veered off USB standards quite a while ago anyway), and the flash storage on a phone isn't fast enough to saturate USB 2.0... USB 3.0 is pointless. Reply
Geraldo8022 - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI use Patriot Gauntlet, Wifi. works simply and easily. Reply
jmunjr - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkCan't remove or replace the battery? You lost my business. I could barely deal with no SD card but not being able to swap batteries is a dealbreaker for me. I swap batteries on my phone several times a week. This means I can effectively fully charge my phone in less than twenty seconds.
Also this means no extended batteries for this phone either. I use them all the time first because I can go a long time with hard use and because it makes my phone more comfortable to use with my big hands.
This shift to non-replaceable batteries is unfortunate. I'm sick of the industry dictating what users actually want. Stop this crap please... Reply
THX - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkUsed to be in the same boat as you but 3000mAh is a ton of juice. Unless the Snap 800 ends up being a battery hog I think the stock situation is very generous. Reply
Zink - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkLG also added panel self refresh which should improve battery life. I'm fine with my Nexus 4 battery but with this phone 2 day battery life would also probably work out. I'd rather have the small size, strength, and build quality of a sealed battery design at that point. Reply
thesavvymage - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkJust buy a GS4 or a Gnote. This device is hardly different other than the S800 vs 600. The S4 has your micro-sd and the removable back, and hell it even comes in a stock edition if you use AT/T or tmobile Reply
Ortanon - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkFriends don't let friends buy the Note. http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-E980-optimus-g... Reply
Ram21 - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkDoes the power button get depressed when it is sitting on its back? Interesting choice to put the volume rocker there as well. Reply
mgl888 - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkI'd like to know this as well.
I'm also not very fond of the notification LED on the back of the phone. Putting the phone down on its front could scratch the screen... Reply
CoryS - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkIn videos It seems to have one on the front too Reply
Impulses - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkUnless you get a case, almost every TPU case out there has just enough of a lip to protect the screen. It's pretty much the second reason why I keep using cases, setting it face down without worry. Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkIs 1920x1200 confirmed? I have seen this same announcement on several other sites but and they are all stating 1920x1080... Although they might just be assuming. IT does look a bit wider than normal phones to me, but its hard to tell by pics and vids. Reply
madmilk - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkOptimus G and Nexus 4 used 1280x768 when everyone else used 1280x720, so maybe. Reply
victorson - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkBrian, where did you get that 1200 x 1980 pixel resolution? LG lists this as 1080p everywhere. Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkcrap... Looks like they corrected it. It is 1920x1080. Oh well, still a great phone. Reply
nicmonson - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkNot in both places! In one place they say 1080 and in another place, they say 1200! Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkLOL... OK, but they did go back and change the table on the front from 1920x1080, so I am taking that as they noticed it was an error and it is not 1920x1200. Bummer. Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkThat bezel looks cool, screen resolution is great, battery size is good, amount of storage is good, size of the display is good, SoC is great. I wouldn't mind this being the next Nexus phone for a good price. :D Lugging along with my Galaxy Nexus, which is fine, but limited and getting old. I could live without the replaceable battery. I've lived without an mSD card with the GN as well (though badly, 32GB should help alleviate that issues somewhat). Reply
SniperWulf - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkMmmmm... Nexus 5?? Reply
gnx - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkSpecs and features all look good, by I'm just disappointed at their design language. I actually appreciated the square straight industrial look off the optimus G and was hoping their successor would be similar. Maybe the 5.2 inch size and the ergonomics makes it impossible, but the rounded edges and curved back makes it look more like a Samsung phone ... HI I don't mind since we can custom Rom, but hardware design we've stuck with, and I had hoped for something more square, straight, industrial. Reply
Zink - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkI find the Nexus 4 needlessly chunky. I agree that this design doesn't look that good with the rounded corners from the back and strange volume buttons but hopefully they did it for in hand feel and ease of use. Reply
Gunbuster - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkI see LG has completed studies at the Samsung greasy plastic university. Reply
charleski - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkGiven the busy electrical environment inside a cellphone, with intermodulation interference coming from the SoC and different radios, I'm not sure I see the point in messing around with 24/192. Especially since its superiority over 16/44.1 in any consumer environment is deeply questionable. I suspect the frequency response is going to be severely limited by the headphone amp anyway. Reply
DesktopMan - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkActually 16/44.1 is superior for playback in any hardware. Check the article linked elsewhere in the comments. Reply
charleski - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkI agree completely - when I said 'deeply questionable' I was being extremely charitable, 'frankly delusional' is closer to the mark. I doubt even a bat would be able to spot the difference in the output from this phone though. Reply
Geraldo8022 - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI appreciate that you feel 16/44 to be as good or better. Hi-fidelity is and has been a big hobby of mine for forty years. I prefer 24/192. My choice. My illusion. Reply
flyingpants1 - Wednesday, August 07, 2013 - linkThis is another me-too device. I'm sure it will be a good fit for some, people who liked the G and G Pro.
My problems with this device are a static 3000mah battery with no option to extend. I wish they'd start making these phones in 8.9mm and 11mm versions with greatly extended batteries Like 5000mah. Like the Ultramaxx, but slightly bigger. Reply
Mugur - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkI wonder why people consider the collaboration between Google and LG a success? For me it was a failure: Nexus 4 was plagued by thermal throttling and also had a big supply issue for several month. Not to mention that in Europe, in retail, the price was far from the 300$: it was almost the same as LG's Optimus G.
Comparing this to Asus Nexus 7, where supply was great and the price close to Google's prices, I would go to someone else than LG next time if I were Google... Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkIt cost 300€ in the Google Play Store the whole time I kept track of the price here in Germany. Taking into account the included taxes, that is normal exchange rate behaviour. Even charitable, when we look at some other examples. Did I miss something? Reply
akyp - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkI really don't like the trend of manufacturers dropping the capacitive buttons (back, home and menu/task). Seems Samsung is my only choice when the time come to replace my LG Optimus LTE II. Reply
Impulses - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkHTC only dropped one! (which is even more puzzling) Reply
SpaceRanger - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkNo thank you.. LG will never get another dime of my money. I bought the G2X when it was their flagship and they botched that release totally. Their updates for the device never came. For a dual-core device, not having ICS or JB for the device is an insult to the hardware. Now, before people start chiming in with "I've got ICS.. I've got Hackfest" There is NO SINGLE ROM out there for the G2X that has full hardware acceleration AND a working modem. LG (and to a point nVidia) screwed the pooch with this one. Bought myself the SGS4 and haven't looked back. Reply
Gunbuster - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkTell me about it. I had a LG Mytouch Q and it was the most abysmal phone I have ever owned. Reply
Impulses - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkA lot of the early Tegra 2 phones got left behind in the cold with Gingerbread, see Atrix etc. NV probably shared as much of the blame as anyone... Reply
sheh - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkFocusing some on audio is nice, but 192kHz improves nothing for final playback (unlike audio editing, perhaps). I'm not sure if 24-bit adds much.
Did they improve audio latency? Recently Android started to address audio output latency (but not input), but it requires work from the hardware manufacturer as well:
That's one area where iOS still has an advantage. Reply
kylewat - Thursday, August 08, 2013 - linkIt would be really cool if it had S/PIDF out. Reply
Impulses - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkThe top mounted power buttons never made any sense to me, specially as phones grew past 4.3"...
I don't know anyone that can hold a phone in a position comfortable for typing and simultaneously reach a top mounted power button. Maybe that's the point of sticking it up there, but why? It just forces a lot of hand shifting or needless two hand maneuvers. Always been jealous of Samsung's side power buttons...
OTOH, the race to make phones thinner is getting silly. We reached a point of diminishing returns with phones like the One X and SGS3 IMO, any thinner just ends up feeling cheaper and introducing all sorta structural/battery compromises. Reply
_fyi_ - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkSo does it turn off if I lay it flat on a table with the screen facing up? I am sure LG is not that stupid! So how does the phone know my finger is pressing the button and not the table or my jeans when it is in my pocket? Reply
flyingpants1 - Sunday, August 11, 2013 - linkThere is no such thing as 2 days of battery life in a phone. What you meant is more than 4-5 hours of actual usage. Reply

TWO orphans from Tanzania who have studied in East Lancashire are to return home to fulfill their dreams.
Emmakulatha Bujik, 23, and Jesca Paulo, 24, studied at University Centre at Blackburn College as part of the Bethany Project, a Christian charity which helps vulnerable people in Tanzania.
A third student, Sophia Joseph, has written a dissertation on her experience as an international student and will study her PGCE in September.
Despite English being their second language, Emmakulatha and Jesca both gained first class degrees in Education Studies, validated by Lancaster University, and will complete their PGCE in June.
They will then return home to run a Bethany Project school, which was their aim when they first came to East Lancashire.
The trio have been living in Oswaldtwistle with Graham Pountain and his wife Sheila, who have been involved with the Bethany Project since 1991.
Jesca, who lived in a Bethany house with 110 orphans in Tanzania, said: "Tanzania is a developing country and there is a lot of poverty.
"When we came to England, we were all a bit worried as it was all new, but we want to make a difference.
"That is one reason we came here.
"We want to return to Tanzania and help to change the country and hopefully we now can with our education.
"We want to train teachers of the future and make sure that East Africa has good teachers, a better education system and also change the character and values for the better."
Graham Pountain, a father-of-three, said he could only praise the three girls in his care.
He said: "All three have worked really hard with their studies. They believe that coming to the UK was a great privilege and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that they were determined to make the most of."
The Bethany Project is looking for short term volunteers to spend two weeks in Tanzania teaching English and other subjects.

At the end of this month (January) I'll be finding myself in San Antonio, Texas for a few days for a conference. Does anyone have any recomendations as for BBQ joints in San Antonio?
Thanks for the advise!

Try one of these.

I always eat at Bill Miller's, but that may be because they were close to school. Of course, when there, my mother wouldn't go anywhere other than County Line. You'll find BBQ joints like taco stands down there...they're everywhere, and you usually can't go wrong.

Drive toward Houston on Interstate 10 about half an hour to one of the absolute best BBQ places anywhere, City Market in Luling. It's located on the north side of the RR tracks at the intersection of US 90 and US 183. You won't find any better brisket or sausage anywhere except maybe at Black's BBQ another 15 minutes north on US 183 in Lockhart, "The BBQ Capital of Texas". This two hour round trip will be the highlight of your BBQ quest, I GARONTEE!!! (Check the links below)

Joe - Now you've gone and done it. My delima is now that I'm supposed to be there on business, with pretty full days and nights, and I've got to find 2 hours to go try one of those places! If that doesn't pan out are any of the places around the riverwalk recommended? I'll be limited to taxi travel.
Mon Jan 12, 2004 2:00 pm
Completely agree with Joe about the BBQ in Lockhart and Luling. You have to find a way to get to City Market in Luling or Black's and Smitty's in Lockhart. These are the absolute best towns for beef BBQ in Texas and thus the world. There are NO places in San Antonio, Austin, Houston or any of the big cities that even come close. You can't understand the vast difference until you experience it. Black's and Smitty's are both open Sundays from about 10-6, maybe that will work with your schedule. City Market in Luling is open 10-5:45 Mon-Sat and is closed Sunday. It would be worth the expense of renting a car for a day to get this BBQ!!! Black's has the best brisket and sausage in Texas, Smitty's has great sausage and prime rib and City Market has great brisket, sausage and pork ribs. The only side order I would get is beans.
Try to avoid eating on the riverwalk

Casa Rio on the Riverwalk serves decent Tex/Mex but every place else is high priced, touristy below average food. Other good Tex/Mex places in SA are Karam's (a mile or so west of downtown on Zarzamorra) and Blanco Cafe on Blanco Road. There is NO decnet BBQ in SA. (Look up a map of the Old Chisholm Trail, this will give you an idea of where the great bbq can be found). Basically, the line runs from Gonzales to Luling to Lockhart to Elgin to Taylor and then to Ft. Worth in Texas. It's not a coincidence that nearly all of the GREAT Texas beef BBQ can be found in these towns.

On the riverwalk you have The County Line , which is all about Bar B Que. It is in the 400 Block of the riverwalk where Hard Rock Cafe is. Casa Rio is pretty decent but it is just Mexican food. River Ranch is just a little further that Casa Rio and it is great. Lone Star Cafe is also pretty good but more of a Southern Texas food place. They do have a plate called the Back yard bar b que, it has 3 meats and is huge.
Look for The Wood Pile!!

No offense to "Hawk", but I don't believe any of the places he mentioned cook their bbq with hardwood. If they don't, no way is the bbq going to be any good. I know Lone Star Cafe and County Line don't cook with hardwood. Never heard of River Ranch and only been eating Central Texas BBQ for about 40 years.

You are absolutely right Steve none of these places cook on hardwood. But the guy obviously has a dilema he is limited on time. He doesn't have time to drive out to one of the good places but if he's talking riverwalk that is as good as it is gonna get, everything down there is geared for tourists and not much else.

Well guys I wanted to thank you for all the advise. My trip was great, you have a beautiful city, what little I saw of it (the convention center, the riverwalk, the alamo, and oh yeah the convention center). Unfortunately with my time schedule and not having a car and often being at the whim of others I didn't make it to the places you reccomended as best. I did make it to County Line. I put my foot down somewhere. I thought it was very good. For a tourist spot on the riverwalk they had good bbq. Was unimpressed with the beef ribs but the pork ribs were great. I really like their homemade sausage and te brisket was very tender. Overall a great meal.
I also had dinner one night at Texas Land and Cattle. Had a great Tbone steak.
Thanks guys for yuor help.

You have all lost your minds...If you want the best BBQ in San Antonio you go to BOB'S SMOKEHOUSE INC. (Roland Rd.) on the city's Southside off Rigsby Avenue. Do not confuse it with a simalarly named chain establishment. It doesn't look like much from the outside or from the inside for that matter. But it's the food that counts and this is the best BBQ you will ever buy in a restaraunt in San Antonio.
p.s. Bill Miller's is to BBQ as Taco Bell is to Mexican Food
Rudy's ain't much better.
Not ALL of Us Have Lost Minds..

As I said, there really is no GREAT BBQ in SA, you have to go to either Lockhart or Luling. Altho I've never tried BOB'S SMOKEHOUSE, I'm willing to bet my house it ain't as good as either City Market in Luling or Black's BBQ in Lockhart...

Toolholders Improve Rigidity, Machining Accuracy
Licensed by Big Daishowa, the Rego Plus line of dual-contact toolholders from Rego-Fix are said to be compatable with all Big Plus spindles and include a full line of ER and powRgrip system toolholders.

Licensed by Big Daishowa, the Rego Plus line of dual-contact toolholders from Rego-Fix are said to be compatable with all Big Plus spindles and include a full line of ER and powRgrip system toolholders. When used with high-precision milling machines the Big Plus system improves TIR, tool rigidity, surface-finish quality and machining accuracy, the company says. The toolholders can be used with form B coolant and accommodate through-taper coolant.
Suited for the aerospace, automotive, medical and watch industries, the slim-nose powRgrip 6 (PG6) toolholder has a minimal OD of 0.4" (10 mm) and a clamping diameter ranging from 0.008" to 0.125" (0.2 to 3.175 mm). Its slim design provides less tool interference and enables it to machines tight pockets and increase productivity, the company says. The toolholder has a runout accuracy of less than 3 µm and is said to provide quick, simple and safe tool changes.
When paired with the company's HSK 40 E holders, the PG6 is said to improve TIR and tool damping. It also eases presetting, increases tool life and increases clamping forces. Suited for high-speed machining applications, the toolholding system is available with a variety of tapers, including CAT, BT, HSK and TC versions.
A line of toolholder vises will also be on display. They use roller-bearing locking technology to securely grip the holder, the company says. The roller bearings act as a cam lock and tighten as the holder is rotated in either direction. These vises are suited for tightening or loosening a variety of tooling, including nuts, pull studs and arbors. In most cases, the holders can be placed in the vise upside down for mounting pull studs or coolant tubes.
