Five years ago, the NFL had arguably the greatest draft in NFL history. No seriously. The greatest draft is easily 1964 looking back where there were 10 Hall of Fame players selected including names like Roger Staubach, Bob Hayes, Paul Krause, Charley Taylor, Carl Eller etc. There was even a player who ended up becoming a Hall of Fame coach named Bill Parcells.
The 2011 NFL Draft is far from completing its journey but the prospects are looking great. Cam Newton, Von Miller, Marcell Dareus, A.J. Green, Patrick Peterson, Julio Jones, Tyron Smith, J.J. Watt, Muhammed Wilkerson, Andy Dalton, Justin Houston, Richard Sherman, and more players are having great careers.
However, there's always irony if you're looking for it. For all those great potential Hall of Famers, there are the players who fail to reach expectations. The busts. Three of them to be precise. Their names are Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, and Christian Ponder. It was this draft five years ago that taught me several major lessons that made me understand the NFL in a deeper level.
The most important ones being these: Desperate teams will reach for quarterback and then they will end up regretting it.
That's the cold truth. At least two of those three guys becoming busts was a foreseeable event. I was writing for Andy Benoit's website NFL Touchdown.com at the time and I did a grading on the QBs. I spent way too much time watching the tape (college homework could wait back then), but I managed to have a thorough grading of the QBs based on what I knew.
I wasn't perfect. I had Andy Dalton low and I thought Cam Newton's attitude wasn't great. But here's where I learned the lesson. Christian Ponder coming out of Florida State didn't have the greatest arm. He had had an injury before. He did run a pro-style under center offense in college, but he was a project. I had a second-round grade on him. I figured a team like Cincy should target him because A.J. Green was the projected pick at No. 4 but at No. 35 they could get a decent arm.
Andy Dalton was taken at No. 35 while Christian Ponder was taken at No. 12 by the Minnesota Vikings. I was astounded. It was the most ridiculous reach I'd ever seen. That was the third QB surprise of the day. The other two were Jake Locker at No. 8 going to the Tennessee Titans and Blaine Gabbert being taken at No. 10 by the Jacksonville Jaguars (who traded up to get him)!
Locker was a low first rounder in my grading. He had taken a step back in his final year at the University of Washington. His arm was inconsistent, accuracy was a bit off, and he used his body a bit too much. Blaine Gabbert was a guy who I didn't want to touch with a 10-foot pole. He reminded me of Sunshine from the Tennessee Titans only not serious about football. He looked like he belonged on a beach, not a football field and his tape showed a QB who acted like a cat on a hot tin roof. The pocket would be stable and he'd still run. He was a fraidy-cat on the football field and I had a 5th round grade on him.
Looking back, I was a bit harsh. He deserved a 4th round grade. These NFL teams knew it too. They did more research and actually met with these guys (something I wasn't able to). They still took them. It was when I sat on my couch, watching the draft, and staring at the screen thinking, 'Why???' that I came to the revelation that answered my own question.
Teams need quarterbacks. No. I mean they NEED quarterbacks. They NEED them. Because the quarterback has evolved almost to this lead actor role. Movies get these A-list actors because their names bring people into the theaters. How many of us would go to a movie simply because Robert Downey Jr. or Leonardo DiCaprio is the lead actor?
Well it's kind of the same with quarterbacks. Tennessee was getting over Vince Young, Jacksonville needed someone to replace David Garrard. Minnesota had lost Brett Favre of all people. These teams needed quarterbacks. Franchise quarterbacks that they could use to market the teams and convince the average fan that believes, "HEY! We got a new quarterback! He'll fix everything! Let's go to the game!" and then they come and spend their money.
But teams can't just draft a 6th round QB and say let's go. The fans are not that dumb and the sportscasters and anchors aren't going to hype Jonathan Sucksville from Loser University.
But Blaine Gabbert of Missouri! Christian Ponder of Florida State! Jake Locker of Washington! Great schools and we saw these guys play on TV! That's marketable!
Understand this reader. The NFL franchises are more about making money, not about winning. Winning as a by-product makes them more money, so it is in their best interest to take the right player who helps them win, right? Of course, but the problem goes back to the popularity of the quarterback position. Why is it popular? Because it has the most IMPACT.
Tennessee should've drafted J.J. Watt by all means but let's be honest.
J.J. Watt, as great a player as he is, is limited by his defensive end position. An average quarterback will be able to score points, throw touchdowns, look pretty on the video board, and make the team a lot of money. Also, considering no knew how Watt would turn out, it's understandable from a marketing perspective why he wasn't picked Top 10.
So while maybe this lineman or corner or receiver is a better pick roster-wise for the team, the owners and GMs know that a QB brings in the cash. They convince themselves that yeah Gabbert is as jumpy as a kangaroo. Eh, it's workable. They'll train him, coach him, and he'll be great and they smile all the way to the bank. Same with Locker and Ponder.
Their deficiencies will change with great coaching and a personnel around them right?
Wrong! All three are busts and two of them should definitely have not been that high on draft boards. Gabbert is the only one still in the league with the 49ers (who didn't draft him where he strangely was ok with last year). Locker retired and left money on the table and Ponder is more famous for marrying the lovely ESPN personality Samantha Steele (HELLO NURSE!!! *Wolf Whistle*).
That sums up what happens when teams REACH for quarterbacks. This is not the only example in the last five years. The Browns did it in back to back years with Brandon Weeden and Johnny Manziel. Weeden was going to fall to the second round due to age and Manziel had more off field issues than some alcoholics. But the Browns wanted to tell Cleveland to keep spending money, so they wasted valuable picks on players that were not a fit (Weeden) or just bad news (Manziel).
I can cite E.J. Manuel and Robert Griffin III (who was very talented but a divided organization took him) as well. The rest of the QBs in the first round have been smarter picks.
The point to all this? It's going to happen again in 2016.
I can see three reaches happening. Five to be honest. Jared Goff and Carson Wentz will be No. 1 & 2, but Goff's got small hands and Wentz is definitely a project. I wrote about why Goff will be picked top overall from a marketing standpoint, and the Eagles wanted a long-term solution that Sam Bradford certainly couldn't provide. They are the best available, but they were hyped to No. 1 & 2.
Now, the three super reaches are going to come in the forms of Paxton Lynch from Memphis, Connor Cook from Michigan State, and Christian Hackenberg (that name is just foreboding by itself) from Penn State. None of these guys are Top 10-15 talents. Lynch maybe top 20. But the thing is the hype machine has made each one rise especially with Goff and Wentz off the board basically now.
It's like this. You need a car. The only options left are in a junkyard. Teams in this scenario are trying to find the car that won't need sawdust to run on and because they HAVE to take a quarterback (at least in order to keep revenues up), they will reach and grab someone.
Even if Hackenberg has an AWFUL arm (He throws incomplete screen passes that hit the ground…I ask you, who does that?!), even if Connor Cook is reported to be hated by scouts who feel there's something wrong with his attitude as well as his small hands (I've never read so much pre-draft hate except on Vontaze Burfict), and even if Paxton Lynch was a distance third in the QB rankings from the get-go, teams are willing to get them.
Do all three become first-rounders? I'm not sure. I know Lynch definitely will and he deserves to be (he's just going to be about 10-15 spots too high).
As to the other two. Cook has the better mechanics and record than Hackenberg, so he should go first. Now the question is which teams will target them. The Browns are definitely suckers yet again for a QB since Manziel was an utter failure (in more ways than one) in Cleveland.
A second team is the San Francisco 49ers whose GM Trent Baalke is one step away from being fired because it's been four years since he's had a great draft. Baalke I can see grabbing a QB in a Hail Mary attempt just to stay employed.
It gets a little trickier there. From picks 9-18, you got teams that were bad, but have good quarterbacks like Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, Detroit and Indianapolis. At 19 and 20, there are the two AFC perennial losers known as the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. The Jets had a great quarterback in Ryan Fitzpatrick last year and almost made the playoffs.
Now, for some reason, the Jets are letting Fitzpatrick sit on the market…It's possible they take a QB (for future or present) at this spot. The Bills…I can't even remember who their QB was…Oh Tyrod Taylor. He's likeable, but he's hardly a Pro Bowl passer. Oh that's right, he was Joe Flacco's backup for forever.
Yeah, it's POSSIBLE that he becomes the guy they need, but it's NOT PLAUSIBLE. The Bills are definitely a candidate for a QB here. Ok, going down the list, all that's left is the Cardinals (who would be drafting for the future here) and the Broncos (who lost one QB to free agency and the other to retirement).
I don't see the Broncos being a picker here personally. John Elway is not a man to make a desperate move, that's why they are champions and partly why they are in this scenario because they weren't desperate enough to shell out the dough needed to keep Brock Osweiler around. The better option would be to take Ryan Fitzpatrick off the market anyway (just give him the money, John!).
The rest of the QB prospects just aren't good enough to justify a worthwhile investment.
Hype only goes so far. But it is hype that's going to make the 2011 draft repeat itself because we got enough teams desperate for cars and a junkyard with some for sale signs up.

Today's a sad day for the former employees of consumer electronics specialty retailer Tweeter, which was regionally strong in New England. Some questioned whether the store would make it through the holiday season and those questions were answered last night as the chain was sold to a liquidator.
Specialty retailers did well in the early days of flat-panel television, but have struggled as more of that market has shifted into mass merchants such as Walmart, Target and Costco.

Your down time is Zynga's bread and butter. Between Words with, Hanging with, and Scramble with Friends, Zynga has a pretty big monopoly on your social gaming. Today, the casual gaming giant is building out new territory in your world with a paid version of Scramble with Friends. This version removes those pesky ads and also doubles your token-earning fun. These tokens, by the way, are not the worst thing in the world.
If you're unfamiliar with how tokens work in Scramble with Friends, you earn one token, required to play one game, every twenty minutes. While this is annoying, especially for a paid app, it does also kind of force users to take a break. Some may object to this type of nanny behavior from a paid game, but this is Zynga we're talking about. It's at least nice to see them trying a model that's not "Consume your whole life, every waking minute of the day."
Head to the widget if you want to remove those ads. Or if you're a Scramble crack baby that needs his fix.

In 2003, NBC correspondent David Bloom boarded a plane and traveled to Iraq to cover the war. After spending days in the tight space of a tank, Bloom began experiencing pain behind his knees. The otherwise healthy 39-year-old dismissed the discomfort. Within days, however, his wife received a call that Bloom had died – not from an explosive device or gunshot, but from deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition in which blood clots formed in his lower legs and traveled to his lungs.
Although DVT is more likely to occur in individuals over 60, it can strike anyone. For some, an extended plane trip is enough to cause DVT. Sitting still for extended periods can cause blood to pool in the lower legs. For others, vein trauma from surgery, inflammation, or illness can cause blood clots. Only about one-half of the 2 million individuals who experience the condition each year have symptoms. Individuals may experience pain, swelling, tenderness, discoloration, and warmth at the affected site. Each year, up to 600,000 people are hospitalized, and approximately 300,000 Americans die from DVT-related pulmonary embolism in the United States.
To treat DVT, clinicians presently have two options. The first involves drug therapy to thin the blood and thus reduce the clot. The second choice is to invasively remove the clot using a plastic tube called a catheter. Both approaches carry a high risk of bleeding, and invasive procedures, such as catheter intervention, can also damage the blood vessel wall and cause infection.
However, there may soon be a third option. Investigators from the University of Michigan have developed a non-invasive technique that can break up the clots in deep veins, without the risks associated with drug therapy or invasive catheter therapy. The technique, known as histotripsy, was first developed for non-invasive, controlled erosion of tissue, but has recently been adapted for use in non-invasive breakdown of clots.
Investigators at the University of Michigan developed the histotripsy technique to achieve mechanical fractionation of tissues by using a number of short, high intensity ultrasound pulses. The histotripsy procedure is guided and monitored by ultrasound imaging in real time, and research is in progress for its use in non-invasive, highly controlled surgery in deep organs. The research team that developed this technique included Drs. Charles Cain, Brian Fowlkes, Timothy Hall, Will Roberts, and Zhen Xu.
More recently, the histotripsy approach was extended for use in the breakdown of clots (thrombolysis) by the team of Adam Maxwell, Charles Cain, Hitinder Gurm, and Zhen Xu at the University of Michigan. In 2008, the team led by Dr. Xu was awarded an NIBIB grant entitled "Image Guided Non-Invasive Ultrasonic Thrombolysis Using Histotripsy." This project is investigating the thrombolytic aspects of histotripsy for the non-invasive treatment of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT).
Current treatments for DVT require a 2- to 3-day hospital stay, but Dr. Hitinder Gurm, an interventional cardiologist, and one of the collaborators with Zhen Xu and Adam Maxwell, states that histotripsy is 50 times faster than anything currently available. If this adaptation of the histotripsy technique passes all the necessary safety steps, Gurm anticipates that the procedure could be used as an outpatient treatment.
Munching Microbubbles
Similar in approach to lithotripsy, a noninvasive ultrasound method used to break up kidney stones, histotripsy relies on pulsed sound waves to fragment blood clots. Energy from an ultrasound probe or transducer located outside and above the clot causes microbubbles (made from tiny gas nuclei present in the blood) to form within the blood vessel. Through a process called cavitation, pulses of energy cause the microbubbles to expand, contract, and collapse. The repeated cycle of short, high-pressure pulses creates a millimeter-sized cloud of microbubbles that mechanically break the clot. "The cloud is like a Pac-Man chewing the clot," says Xu, referring to the 1980s video game icon. It takes about 2 to 5 minutes to dissolve a 1-inch-long soft clot.
In the histotripsy system, an imaging transducer is closely aligned with the cloud-generating therapy transducer. This allows researchers to view microbubble cloud activity as it occurs. "We can see in real time when the cloud is generated, if it's working, and if it has been effective in breaking up the clot," says Xu. They also use color Doppler imaging to assess improvements in blood flow during the process.
A unique aspect of histotripsy is its influence on the cavitation process, which was previously considered uncontrollable. Xu and Maxwell achieve this precision using real-time cavitation monitoring and appropriate ultrasound pulse sequencing. The pulse sequence consists of a quick burst (less than 10 µs) of an ultrashort, high-pressure pulse. The pressures used to create cavitation are at least 10 times greater than pressures used in diagnostic ultrasound and comparable to pressure used in lithotripsy. "The idea is to generate the bubble cloud, fractionate a portion of the clot, and generate the seeds of the next cloud. All activity is finished before the next pulse arrives," explains Xu.
Creating an Ultrasonic Safety Net
A potential concern with clot removal is that fragments may travel beyond the clot site and create a life-threatening situation by blocking a key artery such as the pulmonary artery in the lung. In conventional treatment, physicians sometimes insert a mechanical filter into the vessel to trap stray clot material. But as Xu and her colleagues developed the histotripsy technique, they discovered a new phenomenon that may eliminate the need for filters. "The cavitating bubble cloud induces a fluid flow in the vessel similar to a vortex," she says. By creating a second microbubble cloud a short distance from the clot, they may trap and completely dissolve any stray clot fragments.
Although this noninvasive emboli trap (NET) technique has only been tested in vitro, Xu anticipates it could have a number of clinical applications. "If we can make the NET work in vivo, it will open the door to new applications such as trapping clots during cardiovascular operations," she says.
Mature Clot Breakdown
Although Xu and Maxwell's early studies have involved soft clots formed in plastic tubing and pig models, they are now investigating histotripsy's ability to fragment harder, mature clots. The structure of older clots is similar to that of the vessel. "In these cases, it is difficult to differentiate between the clot and the vessel wall [because the clot has grown into the vessel wall]," says Xu. In this situation, the goal of the histotripsy is to create a channel through which the blood can flow rather than trying to fragment the entire clot. In preliminary animal studies, histotripsy did create a flow channel but required longer treatment times.
Toward Clinical Applications
Future work will focus on four components. The first involves investigating the basic science behind microbubble-cell interaction; understanding the physical mechanisms responsible for these interactions will help optimize the technology. The second component will determine the safety and efficacy of the histotripsy technique. A third area will explore what mechanisms are at work with the NET phenomenon, including fluid flow patterns. The final area involves engineering and software development to prepare the system for clinical use. Xu notes that the goal is to automate the histotripsy technique so that physicians can sit down at a console; locate the clot with ultrasound imaging; lock onto a clot using a beginning, middle, and end point; press a button; and let the system scan the blocked blood vessel. Work also will focus on integrating the therapy and imaging transducers and reducing their size. The researchers will also examine ways to transmit the ultrasound energy without submerging the therapy transducer in water.
"We combine the best of two worlds: the noninvasiveness of drug therapy and the localization of catheter procedures, but without the complications associated with those two approaches," says Xu. "If we are successful in creating a clinical system, DVT treatment could become an office-based procedure. In the long term, we can open the door to treating other conditions caused by blood clots as well."

- The latest beta for Microsoft Edge for Android features native ad blocking through Adblock Plus.
- You can enable or disable Adblock Plus within Edge's settings.
Microsoft Edge is far from the most popular browser on Android. That being said, its beta version received a new update that brings support for native ad blocking, reported MSPoweruser.
Typically available as an extension for other browsers, Adblock Plus is built directly into the browser. When you go to Settings, you will see the new "Block Content" submenu that lets you either turn Adblock Plus on or off.
Once enabled, Adblock Plus lives up to its name and blocks banners, tracking, pop-ups, and obtrusive ads. As useful as Adblock Plus is, the service garnered some heat over its decision to whitelist ads as part of its "Acceptable Ads" project. AdBlock Plus parent company Eyeo did not say which companies it partners with for the project, though some people might see that as a conflict of interest.
Eyeo also launched a marketplace that allows blogs and website operators to pick "acceptable" ads to place on their pages. Instead of seeing seeing normal ads, visitors using Adblock Plus would see the "acceptable ads" instead.
As controversial as Adblock Plus is, the service boasts over 100 million installations as of 2016. It was no wonder why Microsoft decided to natively integrate Adblock Plus into its Edge browser on Android, though we do not know if there was some sort of deal between Microsoft and Eyeo.
Whatever the case may be, you can download Edge and sign up for the beta at the link below.

General information
Wine is a free and open source compatibility layer that aims to allow computer programs written for Windows to run on Linux and OS X by translating Windows system calls into POSIX-compliant system calls, recreating the directory structure of Windows systems, and providing alternative implementations of Windows system libraries, system services through wineserver and various other components (such as Internet Explorer, the Windows Registry Editor, and msiexec).
The software is not by all means an emulator, hence its acronym is Wine Is Not an Emulator. The main advantage it gives is the ability to run any software regardless of the Windows system was made for, so if an older Windows 95 game does not work in a native OS such as Windows 10 or has compatibility issues which renders the game broken, it will most likely work on WINE. A full DirectX 10 and 11 support has been added since version 3.0 along with it's own CSMT.
Upon entering the WineHQ page you may have noticed the Stable and Development versions. The Development version is more often updated as the improvements and bugfixes are released in small packages, while the Stable's update process is slow as it relies on releasing the update as one large package containing the features from previous Development versions. Do not be confused with the version numbers though as for example the Stable 2.0.2 version contains a wide range of features from Development 2.17 version and below.
The Staging one contains community-made patches to make sure the game works properly, but be aware that sometimes a software may not work in Staging, but it'll work in normal one. It always uses the Development version of Wine.
Gallium Nine is a special one, besides being based on Wine Staging it is very beneficial for AMD and Nouveau as it uses the Gallium 3D API, which is a part of the Mesa library and gives a greater performance for games using DirectX 9, as compared to the other versions, it doesn't translate Direct3D signals into OpenGL. It won't bring any improvements for NVIDIA users that rely on proprietary drivers, as the manufacturer uses their own driver library. Be aware that depending on Linux distribution, you might need to compile Mesa with ```enable_nine``` variable to use Gallium3D Nine.
Other versions also exists, some contain additional features such as Wine Rt which runs programs in real-time, or the ones that are made specifically for one game, for example wine-starcraft allows you to run Starcraft Anniversary 1.16 without any issues, compared to the official build.
Before installing make sure to enable the multilib support, if you are on a 64-bit system and always install WINE Gecko and WINE Mono for applications that need support for Internet Explorer and .NET Frameworks. They may not be required, but it will prevent downloading them each time you create a new Wineprefix.
To install Wine on your Linux distribution, check your package manager. Some Linux distros DON'T come with Wine pre-installed, but it can be installed just with a single command or a few clicks depending on the distro.
On a 32-bit system run:
sudo apt install wine
sudo apt install wine
or if you want the development version.
sudo apt install wine-development
sudo apt install wine-development
If you are on a 64-bit system you need to use this command before installing Wine:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update
SteamOS Tools is required in order to get Debian's repositories and sources. Follow the documentation to learn how to add and install a software from Debian.
Type sudo apt-get install wine
sudo apt-get install wine
To get the latest Wine release, use these commands in this order:
wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
Run this command
sudo dnf install wine
sudo dnf install wine-devel
For developer version.
sudo dnf install wine
sudo dnf install wine-devel
Please follow these instructions if you want the latest version.
If running a 64-bit system, make sure you have enabled the multilib repository. Then run:
Type sudo pacman -S <wine edition>.
sudo pacman -S <wine edition>
Replace <wine edition> with:
<wine edition>
Other versions of Wine are available in the AUR.
Type sudo eopkg install wine
sudo eopkg install wine
Run sudo zypper install wine
sudo zypper install wine
For other distros, please follow the documentation/wiki of the distribution or compile the software from the source code.
To install Wine on Mac OS, you can either download the PKG file (Recommended) or the TAR archive, they can be found here.
After installing it from the PKG file, the Wine shortcut will appear in the Launchpad. Upon running it, it will display terminal with a short introduction to important commands.
If using Homebrew:
brew rm wine && brew rm $(join <(brew leaves) <(brew deps wine))
brew rm wine && brew rm $(join <(brew leaves) <(brew deps wine))
If using MacPorts:
sudo port uninstall --follow-dependencies wine
sudo port uninstall --follow-dependencies wine
If compiled from the source code: sudo make install at the directory with Makefile and then delete the local Wine source code.
sudo make install
Aftere one of these steps remove any WINEPREFIX and remove the .local from your Home folder
If you wish to compile Wine from it's source code please follow these pages:
Building Wine
Building Wine in MacOS
If you are on a 64-bit Linux system and depending on the distro, make sure you have 32 bit drivers installed. WIthout it you will receive the "Direct rendering is disabled, most likely your OpenGL drivers have not been installed correctly" message.
If installed, make sure to reset the display server.
Currently, Wine best supports ALSA if you are on Linux, but on a 64-bit system you must install the 32-bit versions, this also counts for PulseAudio and OSS (In this case, all you need is the ALSA-OSS package, as the OSS kernel will not suffice).
Keep in mind that for some games, such as Skyrim, will use an advanced sound system. For this case you need the 32 bit version of OpenAL as well.
In MIDI's case, Wine has an excellent support for it. You should either use Timidity or Fluidsynth and set one of them up.
As for audio in Mac OS, CoreAudio works out of the box with the software.
Since 2013, Wine developers have been experimenting with the stream/worker thread optimization, which is exclusive to both Wine Staging and Wine Staging Gallium Nine. Depending on the game, enabling it from the winecfg will give a performance boost (for some even bigger than running it natively on Windows!) and fixes graphical issues, if present. Wine Team officially added their own CSMT since the release of 3.0 version.
By default, Wine will be already set to handle Windows files such as .exe,.bat,.msi etc. Running one of them will invoke the software and handle the rest in it's default WINEPREFIX folder located at ~/.wine. If you are required to run the program in Terminal however, this can be done by using the wine command.
Wineprefix is the directory used for managing your Windows files, by default it will use the .wine folder in your Home directory, if using Linux, and depending on the architecture of your system, it will be made for 64-bit applications or 32-bit. If the game you currently wish to run works only on 16-bit system, you may wish to create a 32-bit Wineprefix folder. This can be done with this command line:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/<new folder name>
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/<new folder name>
WINEARCH is responsible for changing the environment, there are only two options to choose from:
WINEPREFIX command is used to create a new folder or use one which will store Windows program.
While checking WineHQ's Application Database you may encounter these ratings and here are their meanings.
The program installs and works flawlessly out of the box, without any changes in winecfg.
The application works without any problem once you make some DLL override or change some settings in winecfg or installing a third-party software.
The program works great for "normal" use with some of the exceptions such as issues with handling the DRM, the game works in singleplayer but not in multiplayer etc.
The software works, but has some issues for normal use such as graphical glitches/issues, run slower than it should, font issues etc.
The application does not work, cannot be installed or it will run but will show many errors that will make it unusable regardless of used settings.
It's best to check the information, comments or the bug list for the current software to learn how to get it to work or even check if it's fixed when it comes to Gold, Silver or even Bronze rating.
Winecfg is a GUI (graphical user interface) configuration tool for Wine. It allows you to change options for both the default setting and for specific applications. These options include the way Wine loads DLLs, graphical settings (including Window settings, screen resolution/DPI), desktop integration, drives and audio). It can be accessed with winecfg command, you can use it with WINEPREFIX to specify which Wine folder you wish to configure.
A run down on the different tabs of Winecfg is available on the Wine Wiki.
Winetricks is a script which allows you to install base requirements for running Windows applications. It is mainly used to install additional DLL libraries to make the program work, in case if it doesn't. Besides that it also contains other stuff such as launching the Winecfg, installing the benchmark, install the game using pre-compiled script etc. from the default Wine folder. The program can be run with the winetricks command to launch the GUI version by default (Using -h argument will show additional options), you can combine with other Wine commands to be more specific. For example:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks
This will launch Winetricks, but all the changes or installations are done in the .wine32 folder.
If you do not wish to constantly go through menus to install the required library or a program, you can specify it after the command.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks steam
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks steam
This command will let Winetricks to install Steam on a .wine32 folder.
Of course you can specify multiple libraries you wish to install and combine it with some arguments available for this software.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks -q steam dotnet40
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks -q steam dotnet40
This will let Winetricks not only to install Steam, but .NET Framework 4.0 as well and the -q argument will make sure not to ask any questions for each application/library.
If you do not wish to use the Terminal, there are some front-ends which will make your Wine experience much easier.
Linux Steam client has integrated fork of Wine for games, that lack native Linux version.[1]
This Python-based program allows you to install any Windows program using the pre-made scripts which makes the process automatic or perform it manually in case if the script does not exist. The main advantage of it is the ability to download and use multiple Wine version and ease of managing and configuring the prefixes. The main drawback however, is in it's slow development time and outdated libraries that are available in the Additional Libraries. This program was made for simplicity in mind.
A commercial version of Wine which includes scripts, patches, GUI and third-party softwares (Which are never accepted by Wine Project). It is available for both Mac and Linux. Despite being a paid product, the patches are later added to the Wine Staging and buying the software will support the Wine developers. Version 19 allows for running 32 bit Windows programs, including games, on macOS Catalina.[2]
A Mac exclusive tool used to make wrappers to run Windows software in Mac OS X. Which converts it into an .app file which allows you to run the converted program into a native system.
Front-end made in Qt4 environment for Linux system. It's main advantage is the ability to use libraries from the Winetricks, built in WineApp Database, additional options such as mounting the ISO and it's simplicity. The drawback of it however are no pre-compiled scripts which will automatically install the game along with required libraries and in some cases, specific Wine version which the game works without any major issues and requiring you to compile/install the specific Wine version of your choice if you want to use multiple Wine versions.
If the game supports OpenGL/Vulkan, it is recommended to run it to avoid any performance issue. Many games accept the -opengl parameter, however in case of recent games you may have to set it up to run in Vulkan through the game's options or using the -vulkan command prompt.
Wine features an embedded FPS monitor which works for all graphical applications once you use WINEDEBUG=fps command. You can also use this script with the xosd package installed in order to display the FPS counter on top of the window.
Some Windows applications require the .NET software framework to run (Wine will instruct you to install if an application you try to run requires it), which is not compatible with Wine. However, an open source piece of software called Mono was made to replace it. You can install it via installing winetricks and entering this line into the Terminal/shell:
winetricks mono210
winetricks mono210
If the wine-mono is already installed from the distribution's repository, then it is not required.
Some Windows applications require the D-bus process to run, in order to communicate with certain other applications. While it is installed alongside Macports, it will not run unless you tell it to. You only need to do this once, and then the process will run every time on startup:
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
Install corefonts, if that does not work, use allfonts as a last resort from winetricks.
Use sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 command
sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16
Install the 32 bit package of XRandR, if the dual-head issue still persists, install 32 bit LibXinerama as well.
Use wineconsole cmd command and from there, navigate to the game/patch folder and run the EXE file.
wineconsole cmd
On a 32-bit architecture of the Wineprefix in a 64-bit system:
If the Wineprefix is in 64-bit architecture, you may have to recreate the prefix.

Michael Malone
This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (February 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Michael Malone is an American author and television writer, born in Durham, North Carolina. He is best known for his work on the ABC Daytime drama One Life to Live, as well as for his novels Handling Sin (1983), Foolscap (1991), and murder mystery First Lady (2001).
Malone is well known for his stint writing the soap opera One Life to Live. He was the serial's head writer after being hired by Linda Gottlieb from 1991 to 1996 and garnered critical acclaim for his storylines, which included a tale involving the tight bond between an ostracized homosexual teenager and a preacher, the creation of villain/rapist Todd Manning and the character's gang rape of Marty Saybrooke, as well as the subsequent rape trial.[1][2] Entertainment Weekly wrote: "OLTL (circa late 1991–1994) was airing some of the most literate drama ever to hit daytime—too good to be called 'soap opera.'"
One Life to Live was averaging 5 million viewers when Malone left in 1996. His next soap opera writing job was with Another World in 1997. He returned to write One Life to Live from 2003 to 2004. While writing One Life to Live, Malone wrote a novel called The Killing Club, which was tied into the show. For months, viewers watched character Marcie Walsh (Kathy Brier) write the book. The book was published in February 2005 with the authors listed as Marcie Walsh and Michael Malone. To explain this, Marcie said she took the book to "Professor Malone" at Llanview University, who helped her re-write it. After Malone's departure from the show, Dena Higley continued this storyline, as a copycat killer murdered characters on the show exactly as had occurred in the book. In its first week of publication The Killing Club went to #16 on The New York Times Best Seller list for Hardback Fiction. It later rose to #11.
Personal life[edit]
Malone currently lives in Hillsborough, N.C. with his wife, Maureen Quilligan, a professor of English at Duke University.[3] He is a former board member and a supporter of the Burwell School Historic Site. Malone sets many of his stories in Piedmont, including First Lady and the other Justin & Cuddy novels, in his region of North Carolina.

Bags of phone books were lying in our foyer as I entered my office. Unfortunately, most of them will wind up in the trash, wasting the money of the advertisers who ultimately paid for the printing.
Online Yellow Pages and search engines like Google have made traditional phone books virtually obsolete. For now, some advertisers are still paying for phone book advertisements, but a day of reckoning will come soon.
Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot."
If your product or service is dying out, accept reality and adjust; otherwise you may be delivering product that no one wants.

It has been several months since the new season of Code Geass was announced. Now we have our first look at the new season of the beloved series. Fans have mostly been excited to revisit the world of Code Geass. Whether you like it or not, Code Geass is returning for a third season. They also revealed that we would be getting a set of recap films that would cover the 50 episodes seasons 1 and 2 of the original anime. Some new cuts of animation are expected in the 3 compilation films according to Anime News Network.
The continuation of the series, season 3 technically, was code named Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection). In a fairly massive spoiler (if you have not seen the original), they did reveal one interesting fact, which you can see below this new promotional video:
Lelouch is returning, Lelouch himself from the previous anime. He is not an alternate dimension version or clone of the original person. The story itself is set to take place several years after Zero Requiem. It is not yet known the circumstances around Lelouch's return. The director had said at the end of R2 that he died, and that was the end of it. However, the promo at this event reveals that he is revived and returns. Plus the code name for the new series pretty much backs that up.
The OVA series Code Geass: Akito the Exiled was licensed by Funimation and is expected to be released on home video this June.

Role of the Business Architect in Leading Customer-Centric TransformationAdd bookmark
You may have heard the term "business architect" in your travels; if you haven't, you soon will. This summer, I have watched, and sometimes been involved in, several emotional debates among enterprise and information architects, business analysts, quality managers, Lean Six Sigma experts, management consultants, and IT consultants about the future and origins of their jobs, the skills they need, and, most importantly, their career paths to becoming a business architect.
There's little doubt that these discussions are critically important to these individuals. Just as interesting from a research perspective is this question: What business problem do business architects need to resolve?
I have recently worked on two research projects addressing this question. For the first one, performed jointly with principal analyst John R. Rymer, our motivation came from a consulting case: Our client had experienced significant extra costs and process instabilities in operations and asked us for advice when a business transformation initiative supported by innovative technologies got out of control.
For the the second research project, principal analyst Derek Miers and I surveyed more than 300 business process professionals on their goals, priorities, and the maturity of their business process change programs. Using the collected data, we correlated the maturity assessment with the availability of business architecture functions.
Both projects have clearly showed that the emerging business architect role is vital in leading business transformations supported by technology. Based on these results and on additional insights gathered during other consulting projects, I strongly recommend that business architects take responsibility for three activities:
- Developing the "to-be" operating model of the organization.
- Developing the road map to implement the future operating model.
- Managing the business technology governance process.

t5 grow light Buyer's Guide
Things to Consider
Tfluorescent grows bulbs arrive in an extraordinary dimension. These tube lights quantify 5/8″ in diameter, and that's where they obtain their name. There are various choices available concerning length which makes it possible to cover the plants correctly and allow you to be sure that there's room on your increase for them. The majority of Tlamps that you will encounter are in two dimensions: four-foot versions and 2-foot versions. For the majority of chambers that are mature, these can be to match within develop tables.
The plan of these sorts of mature lights makes it feasible to have far lower temperature while they're operating. According to the statistics from GE, the Tversion grows bulbs are rated in only 9levels. This is lower than every other mild, other making it feasible precisely where they have to become to maintain your lights near your plants.
Tand CFL
TFluorescent grow light fixtures for indoor gardening are all-in-one systems. This means no external ballast is needed and they have built in reflectors. In most cases they will come with bulbs installed and may even offer a grow or bloom version.
CFL grow lights for indoor gardening are usually either smaller 25w medium base socket (standard light socket) or 125w CFLs. Be sure to purchase industry specific lighting and not just standard lighting found in supply stores. Indoor gardening industry CFLs are self-ballasted, meaning they screw into a CFL reflector and are ready to go. Most cheap 125w CFLs found at general lighting supply stores have a non-ballasted bulb because they are designed for outdoor lighting fixtures with a built-in ballast.
The trade-off for the simplicity and lack of heat comes in the form of less usable plant growth specific light and less light penetration. Many growers use fluorescent lights for veg growth only or as supplemental lighting in the flowering stage. It can produce lackluster results as the primary light source during the bloom stage due to the lack of light penetration. If you use fluorescents for the flowering stage, a canopy growing method like a screen of green should also be used. This helps maximize the fluorescent lighting and reduces the need for penetrating light.
Dual Arc Lamps
Dual arc lamps are another bulb type for HID lighting. While a dual arc lamp is technically a HPS lamp, dual arc lamps contain both bulb type components and emit a more natural, fuller light spectrum. For example, a 1000W dual arc lamp contains a 600W HPS component and 400W MH component.
Vegetative Stage
The vegetative stage of plant growth is time to have more intense light. Fluorescents are still commonly used, though with larger fixtures and more bulbs. LEDs are great for the vegetative stage too and even the older; low-technology LEDs do a decent job during this stage. Many growers have moved their older LEDs that aren't well suited for the flowering stage to their vegetative room and experienced good results. HID Metal Halide grow lights have been the gold standard for the vegetative stage for the past few decades. They produce good results and can be used with larger plants that less intense lights like fluorescents. Ceramic Metal Halide is becoming popular and is praised for its performance during the vegetative stage of plant growth well.
Bloom Stage
HID lighting, specifically HPS grow lights, is the preferred bloom lighting for most grow rooms. Their lower initial cost and consistently good results make them ideal for most growers. High-end bulbs produce even better and the use of specialty bulbs, like finishing spectrum bulbs, can boost results even more by adding more of the frosty quality that wide/multi-spectrum lights like LEDs offer. Some growers are also using Ceramic Metal Halide for their bloom grows, though they perform better as vegetative stage lights than bloom.
There is no clear winner in our recommendation as there are many trade-offs and differences, with some being the preference of the grower and their style. T5s are our least favorite for this stage. But if they are used properly with a canopy scrog, they can provide good results. Due to the ease and affordability T5s can be a good option, just be sure to grow it right.
This experiment proves that. It also shows the ineffectiveness of using all-blue light for vegging. Sure, plants need more blue light during vegging than flowering, but they still need the other colors, too. The ideal vegging light has more blue light, but not only blue light.
The Experiment
This guy grew a head of lettuce (he used seedlings first, but discarded that experiment) under three different lights. One light was a Tfluorescent grow light, the other a 1watt all-blue LED (for vegging) and the third a 4watt red and blue LED.
In terms of cost, all option were fairly close when calculated on a cost per square inch basis, though the LEDs would cost less to run long-term. How about the results? See for yourself.
Hydro Crunch T5
The DuroLux Tgrow light is similar to the Hydro Crunch T It is feet long and is daisy chain compatible as well. The ballast is included in the light fixture design and a 1foot power cord is included. You have full control over the amount of light being emitted by using the light bulb regulation switches.
Agrobrite TFLT48
The Agrobrite TTube is made by Hydrofarm. You can search online for Agrobrite Treview and they will all claim how amazing this grow light performs. At 432W and 40,000 lumens of light this Tdelivers some powerful rays! The on/off switches enable you to regulate how much light your plants receives. You can also switch out bulbs for other colors. The fixture is very durable and the lamp uses an aluminum reflector to optimize light output. It comes with a foot power cord. You have the ability to attach up to two fixtures via daisy chain per outlet.
Viavolt TGrow Light
Here are some good Treplacement bulbs in case you experience burn out. You can purchase either or foot bulbs. They have a 27ooK rating and are 5watts each. Their lifespan is up to 20,000 hours.
Intermatic DT122K Two-Outlet Digital Timer
Owning a two-outlet digital timer is very convenient when you have two separate lights performing simultaneously. The Intermatic DT122K digital light timer has program settings and can control both LEDs and CFLs. It has an automatic Daylight Saving Time adjustment feature so you do not have to worry about re-programming your lighting schedule.
Tbulb Lifespan
TFluorescent grow tubes have an average lifespan of about 20000 hours of continuous usage, but different manufacturer bulbs differ in the efficiency losses and in the frequency of failures. It is crucial to get The best grow lights because they will be better at maintaining the initial lumen output.
The Company that makes your Tgrow light fixture or bulbs is also a crucial factor because badly made lights will not give you the efficiency you are looking for and the build quality of the fixture will determine how long it will last. The build quality will also determine how long will your fluorescent grow bulbs shine and high quality ones can have an average lifespan from 10000 to 20000 hours.
VIPARSPECTRA Reflector-Series LED Grow Light
Here is another trilogy of VIPARSPECTRA Reflector-Series LED Grow Light with upgraded aluminum cooling heat sink, packed spectrum layout, and reflector design. You can use these lights for all kind of indoor plants and in their all grows stages. This light can grow bigger flower and fruits that may generally you may not even see yet. Growing fresh fruit and flower depends on your provided nutrients, water, and the quality soil. You can control these things but not the daylight. That is the reason the different of quantity and quality of flower or fruits every season. But now with these cheap led grow lights, you can get the highest yield in proper time.
These lights are scientifically engineered to keep a balance with high PAR and appropriate coverage. Its proper coverage will not far to concentrate in the middle of the growing area. This will stun your plant and may be sun burning. For the 300w, 600w and 1200w model the maximum coverage will be respectively 3×2, 4xand 5xft in 2inches height.
For control the temperatures, these best LED grow lights are improved with 4.7inches fan and a big cooling heat sink made of aluminum. These high-speed cooling fans work great on faster cooling. Compare to HDI lights these LEDs are 70% cooler due to this revolutionary heat sinks and fans.
While you are using a grow light maximum time of month defiantly, it will effect on your electricity bill, as well as your money. Most of the LED lights claim they are cheap and not cases ghost electricity bills but how could you ensure on that. These three models of VIPARSPECTRA Reflector consume very low power in average power draw. The 300w consumes 136ws, 600w consumes 276w, and the 1200w consumes 514w. Compare to any HDI lights you will save a lot of money every year in electricity bills.
Ledgle Led Grow Light 300W UV IR Plant Grow Lamp
Here is another cheap led grow lights with full spectrum; the Ledgle Led Grow Light 300W UV IR Plant Grow Lamp is perfect for using any type of plant in their different growing stage. This light has UV ray, IR and white spectrum along with all necessary spectrum that your plant need to grow bigger and healthy. Also, it has a protection system that keeps the fan in low temperature and reduces the possibility of short circuit.
The Ledgle Led Grow Light is even more great compare than other ordinary grow LED lights. It has 50 6W led lights in crystal plus lens design which provide soft but bright lighting. This one is more brighter and productive form 3w and 5w LEDs. That's why is useful for coverage ft x 2ft veg stage and ft x 1.ft for the flowering stage.
The LED light has the entire spectrum that is found in sunlight. Form 420~430nm, 440~450nm, 460~470nm, 585~595nm, 520~530nm 650~660nm, 620~630nm, 610~615nm, to the White, IR and the UV ray. These help photosynthesis and blooming. Furthermore, they contribute to lessen the germ attack and prevent diseases.
This grow led lights has some protecting diodes that added safety from any type of chips out or short circuit. To avoid overheating, the led light has two cooling fans that keep it chili from inside and outside. So, for over temperature or electrical malfunction, your view will be saved if you are not too unfortunate. Overall, it's not has been reported by such these problem, but you have to careful about water or catching fire. Unfortunately, it lacks this kind of protection.
MEIZHI Reflector-Series 450W LED Grow Light
Here is another high quality grow light for indoor gardening- the MEIZHI Reflector-Series 450W LED Grow Light is good for covering a large area and getting healthy plants. It has 120-degree reflector panel with 1full bands spectrum for dual growth and bloom switches. Moreover, it includes a daisy chain for secure connecting with other cheap led grow lights for extended lighting facility. This best led grow lights also includes good class of aluminum heat sinks with active cooling fans and solid vents that help light to penetrate heat more efficiently.
Mostly people make their indoor garden in smaller are. Some people use tents for growing herbs or plants in the home. However, this grows light is ideal for fit for 2×3.ft area at 1inches of height. If you have a large area to cover you can add one or two more growing lights for better coverage. But this bright LED's is very active on growing your plant. Even with its brightness, it uses only 1v current for full day cycle. It can compete with your any other HID, MH or 45w traditional lights.
This grows light has all spectrums that are essential for every type of gardening. Along with the red, yellow, blues, orange, etc. light, it has the IR LEDs. They look dim but helpful for plants on blooming stages. So, the entire seedling, veg, budding, flowering and ripening stage of your plant and herb will be just in time along with the maximum result.
As we mentioned earlier about the daisy chain and heat dissipation system- that two are a great additional feature of this grow LED. This chain provides the facility that other LEDs can connect by low power consumption. That means you can add one or two more cheap led grow lights to increase the coverage by using more or less 1000w.
Furthermore, it has two different switches, veg, and bloom which allow you to save more energy and get the best result that you want. When the veg switch is on, one fan will work when the bloom switch is on. If all two switch on, both fans will seek to control the light temperature.
Light proportion
Light proportion or ratio means the present spectrum of your lights. Spectrums are essential for growing plants; make them big and full with flower/fruit. Usually, they get it from sunlight which helps them photosynthesis process and make carbohydrate. That is why it's important to horticulture or other plantation. Plant prefer mostly yellow, orange, red, blue, and in some cases UVand IR. Your LED grow lights should contain all these spectrums.
Duration of light
A good quality light should have a long lifespan. Usually, people think cheap lights have a low lifespan, and the expensive one has high. But the price always determines the longevity. So check out its overall performance rating researching by real customers. Longevity and good performance are important for your plants. It stays with your plants under all stages of growth.
Maintenance cost
Usually LED lights not require high maintenance cost. But some cases, the cheap light will burn out in 3/days later after installing. Some use timers also for control the on/off. However, the quality light will save your money on maintenance.
Meg Muckenhoupt
After more than 50 hours of research and interviews with five experts—including one who designed plant lighting for Antarctica and the moon—I can say that the Hydrofarm Commercial T2FT Tube Fixture is economical, is low-maintenance, runs cool in small spaces, and provides bright light for stout plants. It's the one we would buy if we were starting seeds indoors.
For growing greens
Go with a setup like this if you plan on growing leafy greens like lettuce, kale, spinach, and herbs indoors.
Lettuce farmers and those who grow other greens are a special case. Growing a plant to maturity indoors requires far more photons than sprouting a seedling. If you're thinking of attempting indoor lettuce, kale, spinach, herbs, or other leafy things, you need stronger stuff than a T5, which simply won't give you enough photons in a day. Go directly to a setup with two Fluence RAY22 lights, and don't look back. If you're on a budget, and junglelike growth is not a priority, Hydrofarm's Fluorescent Grow Light Fixture will get the job done. But because they only go up to a DLI of (or if you run them at least 2hours a day) your seedlings will be a bit anemic, and will grow up to about ½-inch high at most.
How we picked and tested
Flaws but not dealbreakers
As mentioned earlier, the Hydrofarm Commercial Twill not bring your tabletop greens to their full potential. If you keep this light on 2hours a day, you'll still only get a DLI of 9—considerably below the DLI of 1that greenhouse growers consider necessary for producing lettuce, herbs, spinach, and other greens. If you're hankering for leafy greens, read on to see our choice for lettuce farmers below.
The Sun Blaze is a good runner-up if our main pick is unavailable. It's essentially the same light, but there's less information on its long-term performance.
The Sun Blaze F24T5-HO Fluorescent Grow Light Fixture is more or less an exact replica of the Hydrofarm Commercial T5, but there's slightly less information available about its long-term performance. If our pick is sold out, or if you can get the Sun Blaze for cheaper, it's a good bet.
The competition
The lamps higher than 200 watts were obviously overkill. They're designed to light a 3' by 3' area, produce a DLI of in three hours, and need to be suspended at least 2inches over seedlings according to this Sunlight Supply Information Sheet. I eliminated the (now unavailable) G8LED 240 Watt LED Grow Light, the Horizon Grow Light Kit, and the ViaVolt 250 Watt HPS Grow Light Fixture. That left three low-wattage HPS fixtures: Horizon Grow Light Kit (now unavailable), Hydrofarm SBM150S, and the Sun System 150 Watt HPS Reflector, Ballast and Bulb.
Some Tfluorescent fixtures are a little different from our main picks, but they aren't any better. The 2-foot Flora Hydroponics Fluorescent Grow Light System has the same features as the Lights of America Tfixture, but comes with bulbs that have a light temperature of 5000 K, not 41000 K like Lights of America, which means that light will look slightly bluer. If that matters to you, go ahead and spend a bit more on this light, but don't expect your plants to notice the difference. If you still haven't spent enough money on Tbulbs, you could choose to buy "full spectrum" T1grow bulbs, which will fit into the same fixture, such as the Agrosun T1or an Agrobrite 24-inch 20-watt T1bulb. I'm sure they're charming, but they'll only get you to a maximum DLI of if you leave a two-bulb fixture on for 2hours a day less than a foot away from little leaves. That's enough light to raise ferns, African violets, and orchids, but seedlings of other species won't live up to their full potential. If you have a little more to spend on bulbs and a fixture, you should just give up lattes for the week, save up, and buy the Hydrofarm Commercial T5 instead.

LEDs shoot out photons at single wavelengths, not across a spectrum.
1) LEDs shoot out photons at single wavelengths, not across a spectrum.
Bugs can't see the leaves as well if you leave out near-red and green spectrum lights, Harwood said, and some diseases and funguses are inhibited if you leave out certain spectra as well. "White" LEDs are actually groups of three or more single-wavelength LEDs put together to make light that looks white to humans—and to make your plants look like they belong on Earth instead of Pandora.
The second point—that LEDs can't deliver as many photons per watt for a given area—is partly due to the state of technology.
The light plants need
Grow lights exist to get photons to plants. Unfortunately, it's extremely hard to tell if a grow light will do that from the information retailers list on their web sites. Listings commonly say something like "Lumen output rated up to 8000" or "6400 K bulb" or "280 Watts Super Bright Output." None of these statements really tell you what to know: How many photons will get to your plants' leaves.
As you may remember from high school physics, light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that acts as both a wave and a particle. Light comes in different wavelengths, and the wavelengths that humans can see (called the visible spectrum) roughly measure between 400 and 700 nanometers. Make the wavelengths shorter—say, 350 nanometers—and you'll get ultraviolet radiation, which humans can't see, but is visible to bees, birds, fish, some amphibians, reptiles, and cats. Make the wavelengths slightly longer (700 nm-mm) and you'll get infrared radiation. Some snakes, insects, and bats seem to be able to perceive infrared radiation, but not with their eyes—they have special heat-sensing organs.
While the chart above is generally true, it is important to evaluate the application and determine the cost benefit of Tover T8. By doing so, you will be able to determine if the increased efficiency of Tjustifies the increase in initial and long term maintenance costs.
As you can see, as far as performance, the Tin this setting barely beats Tas far as CRI and LPW values. If you didn't understand the numbers and compare all of the variables, you could get stuck with lighting that costs much more….even though you are not getting any better lighting.
With the numbers being this close, you could never justify the substantial increase in fixture, lamp and ballast costs which is what you would get with the Tin this case.
Indoor farming is increasingly becoming popular due to its numerous benefits. Accelerated plant growth and improved yields are some of the main benefits attracting indoor growers. The practice is very popular with horticulture growers due to its benefits. With numerous lighting options available, Tgrow lights are great option to consider. They are size designation of fluorescent grow lights- T stands for tubular while stands for 5/8-inch in diameter thus the name Tgrow lights. They are available in a variety of lengths and weigh a maximum of to 30 pounds.
Compared to other alternative options such as LED, Tgrow lights are less expensive. They produce very small amounts of heat, and thus they can be suspended just a few inches above the plants to increase the light intensity. They are also cheap to run, and thus they do not require much electricity compared to LEDs. Tgrow lights are also easy to install since they are available in packs and are supplied with a power cord. You only need to connect to power to have the lights working.
Hydro Crunch Fluorescent 4FT
This is one of the best Tgrow lights in the market today. Hydro Crunch Fluorescent 4FT will transform your indoor garden significantly. With these lights, you will see your garden thrive and grow in no time. What makes this option a favourite to a majority of the growers is their flexibility in use. First, Hydro Crunch Fluorescent 4FT comes with a generous 15-foot long cord that makes it very easy to have connected with a power socket placed far in the room. The long power cord also makes possible to place the light anywhere in the room.
Sunblaster 90429NanoTech
This is another high-quality Tgrow light that you should consider. The light is designed to be lightweight, and thus you can mount it in a closet or bathroom or anywhere that you would want to grow your plants. Sunblaster 90429NanoTech is designed with a high reflector combo that allows for maximum light distribution. These lights are available in 18" fixture, and it is specifically designed to fit in the nanoDome. The fixture comes with an electronic ballast that controls the amount of power used – this is how you save a lot of money on energy bills.
Sunblaster 90429NanoTech is supplied with a long power cable, and this makes it possible to place the lights far from the power socket. With its jumper plugs, you can hang the lights or place it on a flat surface. The NanoTech reflector is designed to produce maximum reflection, and that's how you will achieve maximum light intensity to the plants. It is a great option to shop.
Hydrofarm's Agrobrite Designer
If you are looking for the Tgrow lights with ultimate flexibility, then this is what you should consider. The lights are available in two or four feet, and you can have two to eight tubes in one fixture. Their powder textured steel housing is a sign of the durability, and that ensure that you will enjoy the lights for a very long time. Don't forget that you can buy the tubes separately, and thus you like to enjoy this light for years. They provide up to 40,000 lumens, and this is what makes them perfect for the high-intensity lighting.
Hydrofarm's Agrobrite Designer can be daisy chained to provide maximum light intensity to the entire room. They are very flexible and versatile in operation in that you can hang them in an overhead or vertical position. These lights are a great choice to have in your indoor farm.
There are two types of Fluorescents: CFL and Tgrow lights. Fluorescent grow lights are inexpensive, provide a good light spectrum, fit well into small spaces and can be used in a standard lighting socket, give-off a pleasant color for indoor environments, don't use a lot of electricity. and work well for small and well-trained plants (like herbs, clones, and seedlings). The downside is they have a smaller yield per watt vs. HID and LED so they need to be positioned very close to the plant. As such, they are not recommended for taller plants like tomatoes or cannabis. Fluorescents also contain a small amount of mercury, which may turn off some to this type of lighting choice. CFL lights are usually twisted in their shape, while Tgrow lights are long and narrow.
LED Grow Lights
Small LED grow lights can simply be hung over your plants and plugged directly into the wall without any other major adjustments. Most LED lighting can produce the particular spectrum a plant need for its various stages of growth. Another advantage is their longevity. LED bulbs do not need to replaced nearly as often as HID or fluorescents. Because of their numerous benefits, we recommend LED grow lights to hydroponics beginners and experts alike.
Figure out the light cycles
A specificity of indoor plant growing with grow lights is that you need to figure out what the light cycle for the plants will be, as there won't be sun that dictates when plants get the light. Light cycles are used to simulate the conditions of day and night for indoor gardens and you need to know your light cycles to grow your succulents faster. A general rule of thumb for growing any plants under lights is that the more light you give them, the faster they will grow and the same can be attributed to succulents. If you are overwintering the plants, then I would put the succulents at first on 20/light cycle meaning that I would leave the lights on for 20 hours a day and then turn them off for hours and slowly increase the darkness period so the light cycle is 16/(light/dark). Succulents need to know when it is winter, so they can start their dormant process. If you use grow lights all year around for your succulents, during the summer you can have them on 24/0 or 20/light cycle for them to grow quickly and thrive.
Know how often to water your succulents
Tomato grow lights (or plant grow lights) allow you to start seedlings and grow tomatoes indoors, even during the off season or when temperatures are cold outside. helps make sure lights switch on and off each day so that seedlings and plants are in the dark each day.
Here's the dirt on how tomato grow lights work and what options you can choose from.
It's not.
Many systems for the home gardener provide the ballast, lamp, and reflector together as a package. (You can also purchase replacement lamps). You simply need to make a couple of decisions: what type of lamp will best meet your needs and what kind of stand (structure) works for you.
Understand "color temperature"
Different grow lamp types emit light in different ways.
Grow lights with higher color temperatures (5000-6500K) provide the full light spectrum and promote all stages of vegetative growth. They emit light with a bluish tinge. Grow lights with lower color temperatures (2500-3000K) are known to encourage flowering and are often used when the plant develops fruit. They put off a reddish or even yellow glow.
The best artificial light source for tomatoes imitates the light in their natural environment. Natural daylight has a high color temperature (about 6000 K). Select your grow lights accordingly.
Incandescent plant grow lights
Though not technically a grow light, incandescents are often labeled and used as one. They convert much of their electricity into heat rather than light, making them fairly inefficient as grow lights, particularly for indoor vegetable crops like tomatoes.
Fluorescent plant grow lights
Fluorescent plant grow lights are one of the most popular options for the home gardener or hobbyist. They're available in at least options: Standard T1fluorescents, High Output (HO) Tfluorescents, and compact fluorescents (CFL).
LED plant grow lights
The newest lamps among plant grow light technology, LEDs are developing a reputation for economy and efficiency. They consume less power and produce less heat than other lamp types.
Grow Lights
For indoor gardening, lighting is paramount. Without adequate light, plants become leggy (i.e., tall, thin and weak)—if they grow at all. I've found that even when grown next to a sunny south-facing window, most plants tend to struggle. For best results, you should supplement natural light with grow lights. If you don't, you're probably going to be disappointed.
There are several types of grow lights to choose from, ranging in both cost and effectiveness. As you read about the pros and cons of each below, keep in mind that there is more to a grow light than just the bulb. Unless you purchase a complete kit, you'll need to also find compatible reflectors, cords, ballasts and other parts.
A quick note about light color: The whiteness of a light's output is measured in Kelvin units (K). The higher the degree of Kelvin, the "cooler" (bluer) it appears, and the lower, the "warmer" (redder) it appears. Blue light encourages compact, bushy vegetative growth. Red light initiates the flowering stage. Lights between 4,000 and 6,000K are known as "full-spectrum" lights because they produce both cool and warm light colors, much like natural sunlight.
Not much about the incandescent light bulb has changed since Thomas Edison invented it in 187While inexpensive and readily available, incandescent lights are the least efficient option for indoor gardening. They'll increase your utility bill, produce more heat than light, and burn out more quickly than other options. I wouldn't recommend using these to grow plants.
A common—and perhaps the most popular—choice for home gardeners, fluorescent lights use ¼ the energy, last about 10x longer, and produce more light compared to incandescent lights (energy.gov). They're great for starting seeds and growing greens, herbs and other plants with low to medium light requirements.
The primary drawback with fluorescent lights is they don't produce enough light to effectively grow fruit-bearing plants, such as squash and tomatoes.
It's important to facilitate air circulation around your plants, and running a small fan is an easy way to do this. Keeping the air moving will help prevent problems, such as leaf fungi and garden pests.
Rubber-backed Rug
Credit goes to Tower Gardener Nancy Kroupa for suggesting this one on the Tower Garden Facebook page. Place your indoor Tower Garden on a rubber-backed rug or mat to protect your floor from any accidental spills that may occur when refilling the water reservoir or performing other maintenance tasks. Like the timer, this is not necessarily required, but useful.
Pump Timer Setting
When growing outside, you should set your pump timer to 1minutes on and 1minutes off. But in a cooler, climate-controlled environment, plant roots don't dry out as quickly as they do outside. Changing your timer to 1minutes on and 4minutes off when growing indoors is a way of both saving a little energy and preventing over-watering.
