Xtend-a-View™ Pro 3.0 LCD viewer
2x LCD viewer for use with 2.7" to 3.0" LCDs (measured diagonally)

< The Xtend-a-View Pro family of viewers gets another model...The Pro 3.0 which covers 2.7" to 3.0" LCD's. Note that use on 2.7" LCD's is not fully tested at this point. The opening on the bottom of the viewer is specifically designed for the 3.0" LCD screen (65mm x 46mm), so there WILL be overlap when used on a 2.7" screen.
Even with the larger lens sizing, the Xtend-a-View Pro> 3.0 is compatible with the original eyecup and cover. To keep the selling cost a little less, the eycup/cover is optional on the 3.0 unit. Because of the deeper eye relief in the lens, the unit can be used with or without the eyecup/cover. If using the eyecup/cover arrangement, the same Capkeeper 2 (included) can be used to retain the cap.
To help you get a little better understanding of the Xtend-a-View Pro 3.0 sizing, this outline drawing shows the front, side and bottom views of the viewer. Note that the inside rectangle of the BOTTOM VIEW is the actual coverage area of the viewer (LCD) and the outside rectange of this same BOTTOM VIEW is the outside mounting area of the viewer.

The Xtend-a-View Pro 3.0 is a bit different that the Mini, Standard Variable, and Wide Variable models. The design changes were necessary due to the large viewing area of a 3.0" LCD screen.

Design changes:

1. Larger, taller body MACHINED from high impact Delrin material (much costlier, but much lighter in weight - the unit actually weighs less than the Xtend-a-View Pro WIDE!)

2. Larger eyepiece (37mm v. 30mm on the smaller models - standard 37mm threads accept a standard 37mm lens cap - included).

The results are that the viewer provides full compatibility with 3.0" LCD's, with lighter weight, broader field coverage, and mounting either with Velcro, hand-held with lanyard strap, or by using the Xtend-a-Mount OMNI.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to export mysql data into an .xls doc., I'm receiving the message:
'Access denied for user...'
I understand that the user must have the Global privilege 'File' in order to create a file.

I don't see the Global privileges in phpMyAdmin in Cpanel.
neither in the Mysql Databases >> user privileges.

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Break even, still.

Posted by Smokey Stover on September 01, 2004

In Reply to: Thanks again Ward posted by Lotg (OZ) on August 31, 2004

: : : OK, well in answering the previous post, I've raised a query in my own mind. The term 'break even'. I know what it means, but literally it's an odd term. How can you 'break even'? Traditionally, to break even is to end up where you started - ie. no loss, no win. But if I take the words literally, it suggests that you actually break through that 'even' point, which suggests either winning or losing. Can anyone explain to me how this term came about and what I'm missing here?

: : Goddess, look up breakeven chart on Google and the concept will be clear. A breakeven chart is a way of displaying data concerning an economic activity. It allows for the display of the total of expenses (ususally includes the fixed costs and those variable with volume) and the revenues or income associated with producing and selling that volume of wigits or whatever. Breakeven refers to the 'breakeven point' -- the volume level at which the revenues and the costs are even. Presumably, after that point is reached, when the prices are set over the unit cost, the result will be a profit on each additional unit.

Definitions of phrases like "break even" often, perhaps almost always, neglect to show the connection between the normal use of the key words and this particular use. What does "break" mean in this case? The OED, which gives the standard definition, is not of much use in finding this connection. My own theory, which is worth as much as most "folk-etymologies," is that asking the question, Which way did it break? might be helpful. Perhaps there's no simple analogy to breaking an array of billiard balls, but we often hear that something broke to the right or to the left, or that the break came in such and such a place. Which way do the accounts break, towards credits or debits? I've never heard that, of course, but someone imaginative might see how things might break in such a fashion as to leave the bettor, the entrepreneur, the investor, exactly where he started. SS

Musical Devices.....

Posted by: C H O P I N

Musical Devices..... - 12/07/07 01:33 PM

Part of my music course requires me (and the others who took music) to sit an exam that tests our listening abilities. This is my weakest area, I usualy only get around 60 - 70 %, which is ok, but not fantastic, so I would like to push myself further in order to acheive better grades. Although our teacher tells us about different musical devices, he doesn't really explain what they do in the music.
The hardest part of the exam is when a piece of music is played and we have to pick out the musical devices used in the piece and then explain what "atmosphere" it gives the music and how. Picking out the devices isn't too bad but trying to put what it does for the music is quite difficult (for me). I was wondering if there were any general patterns for certain devices used in music that provide the listener with an inflicted atmosphere. For example:

1.) A pedal is a sustained or repeated note in the bass (usualy), an inverted pedal is a sustained or repeated note higher up on the grand staff. But how does a pedal inflict a mood? does a pedal allways create tension?

2.) Imitation is where a phrase is repeated with a small variation to make it more interesting than the first (original) time. How can a repeated phrase inflict a certain atmosphere or feeling?

3.) Sequencing is similar to imitation except the phrase is repeated at a different pitch.

Thats a handful of musical devices I can think of, but trying to explain WHAT the acheive in the music is very hard... any tips?

In the exam they played the theme from harry potter, and asked what musical devices made it sound "magical"... I wasn't really sure how to approach the question... I mean what does make it sound magical and mysterious?

Any advice on handeling questions like this would be GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks all,

Posted by: Morodiene

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/07/07 02:34 PM

Interesting question, but wow, most of this stuff is just intuitive, and so I never sat down and pinpointed what it does, so here goes:

1) Pedal doesn't always create tension. It can also be very calming, like a drone. It would have to depend upon the context in which it is used. For example, if you have a piece that has harmonic motion to it and all of a sudden you have a pedal, then it will create tension until that harmony changes. However, if a piece begins with this, it will most likely set up a drone-like effect, making it seem very calm and unmoving.

2) Imitation/repetition in this case is not assigned to any particular feeling. Repetition is found in nature and so we repeat because it gives clarity to what is being said (whatever feeling that may be). The human brain is designed to pick up on patterns, so this device makes it interesting for the listener as well. But clarity and interest in and of themselves are not feelings. They are just a qualities.

3) Same as above. The more variation in a repetition, the more interest it gives the listener, like a puzzle to figure out the pattern.

As far as what musical devices make the harry potter theme sound magical (without having heard it recently), my guess would be the harmonic structure (use of secondary chords), instrumentation, and allusions to pieces we already associate with "magical".

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/07/07 04:02 PM

Thanks Morodiene, the questions we get are suprisingly difficult, and hitting exatly what the examiners want as answers seems to be very hard indeed. They also played us the james bond theme (about 5 times) and we had to fill in a table. One side of the table said "musical devices used" the other said "the atmosphere it creates".... I lost count of how many times I repeated myself, saying "so and so made the music exciting"
Posted by: Morodiene

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/08/07 10:10 AM

If this is not a composition class, I can hardly see the point. There is a difference between recognizing something that needs to sound a certain way, and saying what the outcome is of that particular device. Even in composition, I don't teach it in this manner, however.

Are they expecting that each "musical device" has one affect it produces? Or do they think that there might be several outcomes depending on the listener and the context in which the device is used?

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/08/07 10:57 AM

You're having trouble on the second part
because you're taking it too seriously
and thinking that there actually some real
significance to it. There is none.
This is just typical academic bull___
and has no real-world meaning. The way
to get good grades is to simply parrot
back what the teacher wants you to say.
Trying to strain yourself, looking for
a meaningful answer, is useless, because
there is no meaningful answer except
what the teacher wants to hear--from your
lectures, class discussions, textbook, etc., you
need to figure out what kind of answers
the teacher wants, and then simply give him
these kinds of answers, even if they
might seem completely stupid.
Posted by: pianojerome

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/08/07 11:16 AM

Why would professors teach this "typical academic bull____" if it doesn't make any sense, if it isn't meaningful, and if it is just "completely stupid"? How would they even come up with it in the first place, if it didn't make some meaningful sense to them?
Posted by: C H O P I N

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/08/07 03:41 PM

Although Gyro's post may seem "out of the box" it does seem to have a ring of truth... Firstly Let me answer Morodiene. GCSE music consists of a group of kids (some with musical backgounds and a handful with none). To get the GCSE in music we have to compose a piece of music (25%) perform a solo piece and an ensemble piece (25%) then work at an "integrated assignment" which is a mixture of all 3 skills, which is also worth 25%. Finally we have the listening paper. Also 25%.

So to answer your question, nope it's not a composition class, I wish it was! By the looks of things the examiners seem to want a musical device that does one thing... There doesn't seem to be any prizes for your own opinions, and how it makes you feel (because the papers are marked from example answers!!!!) In that respect Gyro's point appears to be right, tell them what they want to hear. But what DO they want to hear?

Seems rediculous to me.

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/09/07 02:23 AM

I've just started a GCSE music class. I taught OCR for about 10 years but haven't taught any since the boards rewrote their syllabi (about 4 or 5 years ago).

Much of education is as Gyro paints it - the marking is done by independents who are paid by the script. I've heard some subjects are so hard up for markers they're offering it to undergraduates. So yes, find what they want to hear. The questions you posted do seem a bit daft but they're not difficult as long as you have your list of devices and their affects in your head. Ask you teacher for a comprehensive list that you could commit to memory. Which board are you taking?

On a more positive note - that's easily done, the rest (learning about music) is a joy which enriches you.
Posted by: C H O P I N

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/09/07 09:31 AM

I believe I'm on AQA, not OCR (my ICT is OCR though) Finding what they want to hear is quite difficult sometimes, and I do need a comprehensive list like you suggested, wether or not my teacher has one or not, we'll see.

In the James Bond question, with the table, I listed imitation as a musical device, (the tune repeats a lot with different instruments and variations) but I was at a loss on how to explain "what atmosphere" it provides. I mean, surely I'd have to put something like: "The phrase that is repeated gives an atmosphere of excitement throughout the piece" ?

There was also alot of dissonance, Usualy dissonance is used to cause distress, or in this case it seemed to be used as a resolution to the piece's musical climaxes.

Furthermore I ended up repeating my self alot ( especially in these paticular styled questions), the piece was exciting throughout, so what am I supposed to put under "atmosphere" when all of the devices appear to do simillar things?

Posted by: keyboardklutz

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/09/07 10:01 AM

If you can find any youtube or other links with exactly the music your describing I can answer some questions.

With the James Bond, off the top of my head, the initial low chromatic ostinato intro gives an expectant spooky atmosphere - something slithering? sliding?. The second note in the theme forms a tritone (devil's interval) with the accompaniment. The theme itself is stepwise in the minor giving the effect of someone creeping up on you/him. The key, because of the chromatic movement, is not very clear. Again indicating a dangerous/insecure atmosphere.

You should also be able to write like this about your own compositions. Also, get yourself a long list of suitable conjunctions.

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/09/07 12:57 PM

This sounds more like a music philosophy class than a practical music class.

But I think I know what your instructor is looking for. Music is made up of different textures. By adding and subracting and controlling these textures in different ways through rhythm, tempo, and dynamics, music can represent different moods.

A good example would be the use of repeated strings in a disonant key to represent tension. Dissonance alone creates tension, but by repeating this with stringed instruments, the tension can build up more. Think "Jaws" or some other scary movie where the strings are used like this.

Musical textures can also be used to represent other devices such as bells and tambourines when they are not available on the piano, for example. Mozart does this in his Rondo a la Turca with the arpeggiated bass line and grace notes. These represent the drums and tambourines in a Turkish march.

Scarlatti did this too with his keyboard sonatas. He used batteries of chords and gracenote configurations to represent flutes, drums, and even guitars as he was influenced by the local Spanish music where he lived.

Anyway this is something to think about a little deeper, and probably takes a lot more thought than the one off answers you're coming up with for your exams.

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/11/07 01:30 PM unfortunately not the version I heard in my exam, from what I can remember the version I heard had electric guitars, and cymbals (much rockyer and much more exciting), and started with a pedal, and then jumped into the faster theme. However, i'd still like to hear you're example answers keyboardklutz, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your help,

Posted by: keyboardklutz

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/11/07 01:59 PM

I think it would be better if I asked the questions. So - there are 4 musical themes. Can you describe each one in detail? (using the musical elements but not yet how they create an atmosphere) It helps identify them if you can use some sort of notation (could be graphic) - but do it out of your head not on the piano (that's how you'll have to do it in the exam).
Posted by: C H O P I N

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/11/07 04:05 PM

Right, good idea i'll do them, the four themes I spotted were:

1) The opening theme, which is a chromatic ostinato (going upwards). The tonality of this introduction is minor. When the new instrument comes in, it plays a variation over the top of the ostinato, about 3 times - imitation?

2) The piece reaches it's main theme, with the same (chromatic) ostinato underneath. Dissonance is used where the theme reaches its climaxes. I think I also heard sound effects in the background of the music to.

3) The next theme uses an imitation of the same phrase around 3 times, and I think the melody of this part could be defined as "call and answer" because one instrument starts the tune (calls?) and another finishes it (answer?)

4) Theme 4 repeats the opening theme, with a slight variation over the ostinato. A fanfare sequence of one paticular phrase is introduced to bring the piece to a clause. The piece ends on a dissonant chord.

Well I gave that my best shot, it's probably poor, however if I know where I've gone wrong now, I'll be more prepared for the next time, and thats my aim. Thanks for taking the time to help me, it's much appreciated.

PS - just looked at the posted message, it now looks like each theme hasnt been explained "in detail" at all \:\(
Posted by: keyboardklutz

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/11/07 04:35 PM

As I said try and draw the themes (I think the guitar theme is no 2 - I think you've got it as no 1 -you do give a good reason for your view, but without the detail. Outside of an exam (i. e. with unlimited listenings) it should be easy for you to give bar numbers. That's very important - it means everyones looking at the same thing.

The musical elements (and you should know this) are:
Pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, texture, timbre and structure. Remember them as: P, double D, triple T , S and write that at the top of your sheet at the beginning of the exam.

I would quickly draw a spreadsheet - 7 columns for the elements and 4 rows for the themes. Do one theme at a time - not every element will need to be covered. All you then need add is how each adds to the atmosphere.

How many marks? You want one good point per mark.
Posted by: C H O P I N

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/12/07 12:05 PM

After practising with the spreadsheet, I imagine it will get easier and easier, until I dont need to draw one?

I'll make suer I remember those elements, I listed the "devices" used (canon, imitation etc), they're obviously not the same thing, READ THE QUESTION PROPERLY, is the first lesson I've learnt.

I'll get practising soon.

Posted by: keyboardklutz

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/12/07 12:37 PM

Remember 1 clear concise answer per mark. Waffling gets you nowhere. Make sure your clear about the meaning of each device - I'm not so sure you are. Wiki should be good for that.
Posted by: C H O P I N

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/12/07 03:46 PM

so, the musical ELEMENTS are (like you said) Pitch, Duration, Dynamics, Tempo, Texture, Timbre and Structure.

Pitch - how high or low a note is (according to the grand stave), If I was listening for "pitch" would I be listening for changes in pitch? (doesn't music constantly change pitch...)

Duration - (note duration is the length of time a note or chord is held) and the duration of the music is the lenght for which it lasts.

Dynamics - They are the degrees of volume within the music, for example "forte and piano" are two different examples of dynamics

Tempo - The speed of the music. Many pieces include changes in tempo, and of course; "tempo rubato."

Texture - The general "feeling" of the piece (rough, staccato, smooth, legato),also different textures include, monophony, polyphony, and homophony (I think). Texture can also be described with terms such as "contrapuntal", "broadly harmonic" etc etc

Timbre - Timbre is what gives a note it's quality of sound, individual voices or instruments all carry a different timbre, for example your Steinway will have a different Timbre to my Yamaha ;\)

Structure - Musical form? the way in which the music is organized, to name a few forms, theres Binary; AABB, Tennary; ABA, Rondo form; ABACA... Sonata form; (Introduction), Exposition, Development, Recapitulation, (Coda)

I think those definitions are about right... (fingers crossed), but how could you put "pitch" into your answer, if the question (like the one you gave me) asked "describe the musical elements of this piece of music" - what could you say about the pitch? (tritone?)

Sorry I'm working you hard keyboardklutz, but your help's already proving invaluble, unfortunately I don't have a very good music teacher at school, which I won't get into.

Thankyou for your help! (again)

Posted by: keyboardklutz

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/12/07 04:06 PM

For pitch you could draw the contours of the 4 themes. Are they diatonic? Chromatic? How many pitches make up each theme? Are they low? high?

The point is, the questions are probably 15 or 20 marks each. One answer in each square of a grid of 7x4 wold be more than enough. Another tip - don't write sentences - very short points is all you need.
Posted by: Morodiene

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/12/07 04:15 PM

I guess my biggest problem with the questions is that they 1) are obvious to anyone who has studied music and 2) not necessarily able to be put into words, but universally felt. You don't need to identify that some "device" makes the James Bond theme exciting. All one needs to do is to listen to it to tell it is exciting. Sometimes trying to fit something like music into neat little boxes dilutes the power it has. Do we do this as we study piano? Of course. We look/listen to what the composer wrote, and think, "Why did he/she do that? Is this something we should bring out, or have in the background? What feeling does the overall piece (or this section) convey?" All are legitimate and necessary in understanding a work.

But one must teach you these things, and every piece is unique. If this teacher is looking fro specific things like this, they must have a list of things they want you to look for. Otherwise, what are they teaching you?

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/13/07 12:00 PM

Thanks for your help everyone, I know what you mean Morodiene, it's very confusing. The probelm is allways putting them into words - bullet points like keyboardklutz suggested is a very good idea. Guess i've just gotta get on with it.

One more question for keyboardklutz: If a question asks for "musical effects" caould that mean both elements and devices?

Posted by: Betty Patnude

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/13/07 12:48 PM

Search on the "ELEMENTS OF MUSIC" and more than you ever wanted to know will come up. Skim through for keywords and create your categories for further study from there.

Devise a worksheet of how you will examine and write about all things. Ask questions. Answer questions. Use outline form, or check off boxes.

The "Essential Dictionary of Music" by Alfred Publishing Company, is a small reference book of vocabulary, theory, composers bio's. It costs about $4.95 and can be found in many music stores in the US, or ordered on life. It's easy to use and simplistic in definitions. This might help you organize your work.

So you are getting lots of interest and help here with which to do your enlightened listening.

One thing I've noticed when shopping is how avidly my ear listens to anything being played - and because of listening capacity (analysis) just about everything captivates me, whether I want to go there or not. This kind of thing is a form of "entrainment".

Posted by: keyboardklutz

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/13/07 01:50 PM

Musical effects is asking two things:

1) what effect that has on the listener
2) the elements/devices

For one mark you need to say emotion 'X' was caused/because/through the use of/invoked by (that's why I said you needed a list of suitable conjunctions) music 'Y' (description using elements/devices)

note - devices are made from elements (i.e. imitation is exploiting pitch/rhythm by repetition by another voice)
Posted by: Steve Chandler

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/13/07 02:30 PM

You seem to have some confusion about how pitch can be a musical element. One person mentioned diatonic vs. chromatic which is certainly one possibility, but no one has mentioned register. Low strings communicates one thing, piccolos something quite different.
Posted by: C H O P I N

Re: Musical Devices..... - 12/13/07 03:09 PM

Thankyou very much Betty, and thankyou Keyboardklutz and Mr Chandler, I think you've all done as much as you can to set me on the right path, everyones help in this thread has proved, or certainley will prove invaluble to me.

Thanks again,

Chris emailed me this article today. I found it rather inspirational

German man builds wall, traps himself in cellar

BERLIN (AFP) – A German DIY enthusiast accidentally walled himself into his own basement and only managed to escape by drilling his way through to his neighbours, police said Thursday.

The 64-year-old pensioner in the eastern town of Gumperda had -- inexplicably -- aimed to seal off the entrance to his cellar and went downstairs armed with bricks, mortar as well as food and drink.

"Whoops, you could say," the police station in nearby Kahla said in a statement. "He was on the wrong side of the wall when his work was finished."

The pensioner, whose name was not released, spent the weekend trapped in the basement but on Monday decided to take action.

Using a drill hammer, he went to work not on his own wall but on the firewall separating his home from his neighbours'.

The neighbours, with whom the pensioner had already been quarrelling for months, called the police when they heard the loud drilling.

Officers were waiting for the hobby handyman when he broke through to the other side.

(original article found here)

I'm happy to say Chris and I have never fucked up at that bad. We may have striped trim we didn't need to, not stucco patched a window properly, or taken FOREVER to do things, but at least we've never trapped ourselves in the basement.

Friday, January 23, 2004

When I worked at a certain nonprofit-on-the-Hudson, we would occasionally get bizarre letters, phone calls, and even visits from complete nut jobs. Those familiar with "the movement" know exactly what I mean. Anyhow, someone passed along this email today which I felt compelled to share:

Dear [So-and-so],

Yes, I should be in Houston, Texas the week of February 13th. I am eager to appear by tape or by video-conferencing.

For me to travel to the DC area, I would insist on all transportation and hotel accommodations being paid, and I'm not willing to travel by scheduled airliner or any other means whereby my privacy would be outraged. A small private plane or a car with driver would be fine with me, and should be arrangeable for less than the cost of a round trip airline ticket. Let me know if you'd like me to help with these arrangements, since I know many private pilots and drivers.

Please be aware that on Tuesday 20 January 2004 at about 14:30 I was attacked and severely beaten by Houston Police officers. I was handcuffed and kicked in the face repeatedly. As a result of injuries sustained and the refusal of prompt surgical attention, I suffered permanent disfigurement. My nose was broken and my eyebrow cut open, so I am not as physically attractive as some of my photos suggest.

[Man less physically attractive than photo would suggest.]

The Pine River City Council voices support of bike lanes

Email Sign up for Breaking News Alerts

news ,

At the July 9 regular meeting of the Pine River City Council, Quinn Swanson of Pine River Revitilization (PRR) and a group of supporters asked the council to approve a resolution supporting bicycle lanes along Barclay Avenue in Pine River.

The project would involve restructuring the four lanes and two parking lanes on Barclay Ave. In this proposed project, there would be a center turn lane with one lane of traffic on either side flanked on both sides by directional bicycle lanes, parking, and then sidewalks.

Council member Tamara Hansen said her biggest concern was for the cost of the project. It was mentioned that bicycle lanes would require that the current stripes on Barclay Avenue would need to be removed and repainted. Those lines would need regular retouching as well, though the Minnesota Department of Transportation might be responsible for some or all of those costs.

Swanson explained that the resolution was not asking for monetary contributions, but was just intended to show that the council supports the idea of bike lanes. Swanson explained that MnDot was less willing to discuss the project with PRR without the support of the city. She said that with the resolution the group would be able to pursue more information regarding the project.

Mayor Jim Sabas expressed his support of the subject.

“I think they’re a great idea to get that congestion of bikes off the sidewalks. I don’t think there’d be any problems with traffic on the street,” Sabas said. “Right now it’s shaped for a four lane highway through town and I think we can get by with just the two major lanes.”

John Wetrosky of PRR and the Pine River Chamber of Commerce also spoke out in support of the bicycle lane project.

“I’ve had a lot of bikers this year going off the trail going downtown, and I think we need to look at this as an investment as well as a cost. If we’re going to invite these people, they eat at the Cottage Café, they eat at Jr’s, they eat at the coffee shop. I think we’re looking at an investment to bring more people down there to use that dam. We’re all paying taxes as business owners, so it makes me want to bring those folks down there in a safe manner.”

A motion was made to approve the resolution by Tony Desanto. The motion was seconded by Patty Melby and the resolution was passed.

Carrie Bradshaw’s Father Is Cast In ‘The Carrie Diaries’

Daddy Dearest?

Last month we learned that AnnaSophia Robb won the role of young Carrie Bradshaw and Stefania Owen was cast as her little sister Dorrit. Today we learn that actor Matt Letscher has been cast in the role of Carrie‘s father. Click below to meet the man that will play the father that presumably gave Carrie her unresolvable daddy issues.

Matt Letscher has been tapped for a co-starring role in the CW pilot Carrie Diaries. The project, based on Candace Bushnell’s novel, chronicles Carrie Bradshaw’s (AnnaSophia Robb) coming of age in the 1980s when she asks her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while exploring the worlds of high school and Manhattan. Letscher will plat Carrie’s father. The actor, repped by IFA and Sanders Armstrong Caserta, is recurring on two upcoming series, NBC’s Bent and ABC’s Scandal.

Now, I haven’t read The Carrie Diaries but I’m going to assume that the storyline there is pretty different from the one that we got in the Sex and the City series. In SaTC, Carrie famously revealed that her father abandoned her at a young age. So either the father cast in The Carrie Diaries is a step father (that she never mentioned before) OR the new series is not following the storyline that follows chronologically in SaTC. Nonetheless, Carrie now has a father and he will be played by Letscher. I wonder who will get the gig of playing Carrie‘s mother. HMMM. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Sarah Jessica Parker starred on The Carrie Diaries as Carrie’s mom?

| Posted under: ,
  1. Kayla

    I just read The Carrie Diaries and in it her mom died when she was younger and her and her two sisters are being raised by their dad.

  2. Claire

    I hate that they are even using the SATC name on this.

  3. Jo

    carrie bradshaw has no father. lol

  4. Missy

    Right. Cause it’s not like it’s based off a book written by the same author as Sex and the City.

    Also SatC didn’t even stick to their own continuity. Carrie says her dad left when she was little, but in the episode where she dates the comic book store owner, she talks about driving around in her parents’ car.

    • @Missy — Maybe she drove around the car that her father left when he left?

    • Candace Bushnell sold the rights to SatC to Darren Starr early on in the piece. She didn’t write the episodes of the series. I hate that the Carrie Diaries even exist and won’t be watching. She is just trying to cash in on something she got rid of years ago.
      Carrie’s father left her and her mum when she was 5, but we can safely assume that her mother remarried, hence the driving of her parent’s car.

  5. Caroline

    maybe they’ve cast him only to leave 1/2 ways through the season as a mid-season cliff-hanger?

  6. Iheartaustin

    What?! The Carrie diaries are by the same author! You would think she would follow her own storyline! But maybe the show just said the dad thing so pol wouldn’t ask questions about why we never met her family.

  7. Shannon

    Yes candance bushnell wrote sex and the city and the Carrie diaries but didn’t write the whole show. In the Carrie diaries carries dad is pretty great and wants only the best for his daughter

  8. CB

    This show is a bad idea.

  9. Sully

    I’ve read the books, Carrie actually lives with her Father and sisters as her mother passed away years before. It will interesting to see what path they take in this series. I especially liked the way the end of the first book ties into SaTC.

Thomas Jane, the star of HBO series ‘Hung’, has revealed he worked as a male prostitute when he first arrived in Hollywood.

The 42-year-old actor told the Los Angeles Times that he was homeless and slept with men and women for money.

He said: “I was 18. I wasn’t averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?

“You grow up as an artist in a big city, as James Dean said, you’re going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don’t accept people’s sexual flavours.”

The star, who recently divorced Patricia Arquette, said that while he is straight, he was open to experimentation at the times.

“You’re a lot more open to experimentation as a young man. And for me, being a young artist and broke in Los Angeles, I was exploring my sexual identity,” he said.

Jane, who plays gigolo Ray Drecker in ‘Hung’, added: “Probably because of my middle-class, white blue-collar upbringing, I would have never had the opportunity to confront some of my own fears and prejudices had I not been hungry enough to be forced to challenge myself in that way.

“I chose to be a heterosexual guy because that’s what my DNA dictates and my nurture dictates that I am.’

“It’s not a choice until you’re open enough to experience both male and female sexuality,” he concluded. ‘”Until you’ve tasted the food, you don’t know whether you’ll like it or not, as my mom always said.”

Davita Vance-Cooks Becomes Acting Public Printer

Davita Vance-Cooks.

WASHINGTON, DC—Jan. 3, 2012—Deputy Public Printer Davita Vance-Cooks has become the Acting Public Printer for the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) and is the first woman to lead the agency. Vance-Cooks assumes her new role effective immediately, following the completion of Public Printer Bill Boarman’s term. She will serve as the GPO’s CEO and lead its 1,900 employees.

Vance-Cooks is a seasoned business executive with 30 years of experience in the private sector and federal government. She has held a succession of senior management positions at GPO for nearly eight years including: Chief of Staff, Managing Director of GPO’s Customer Services and Procurement business unit and Managing Director of Publication and Information Sales.

Before coming to GPO, Vance-Cooks was the senior vice-president of operations for NYLCare MidAtlantic Health Plan where, among other duties, she was responsible for a digital print work center for production of variable data printing products. She also served as the director of customer service and claims, director of membership and billing, and director of market research and product development for Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans, as well as general manager of HTH Worldwide Insurance Services.

Vance-Cooks earned her Bachelors degree from Tufts University and her MBA from Columbia University.

“I am honored and humbled to serve as GPO’s Acting Public Printer and I look forward to continue working with GPO employees as we serve the needs of Congress, Federal agencies, and the public,” said Vance-Cooks. “I want to thank Bill Boarman for the opportunity to serve as his deputy and Chief of Staff. I have enjoyed working everyday, side-by-side with Bill as we reinvented GPO into the digital information platform it is today.”

“I have great confidence and trust in Davita and her ability to serve as the leader of GPO as the agency begins its 151st year if service to the Nation,” said Bill Boarman, the 26th Public Printer of the United States. “Davita’s institutional knowledge of GPO combined with her experience in the private sector makes her the ideal person to assume the position of Acting Public Printer.”

About the U.S. Government Printing Office

With 1,900 employees, GPO is the Federal Government’s primary resource for producing, procuring, cataloging, indexing, authenticating, disseminating, and preserving the official information products of the U.S. Government in both digital and tangible formats.

Going the extra smile: Auburn man gets his grin back

Dental pros team foot $60,000 bill to help restore badly damaged teeth
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
-A +A
Auburn’s John Tadlock has his smile back. It went away more than a decade ago, masking a deteriorating set of teeth that Tadlock became just too self-conscious of to ever deliberately show in public. Tadlock, 48, had been having problems with his teeth since he was a child because of a misaligned bite. He was a conscientious brusher but by his early 30s things had gotten so bad he decided to just keep his mouth closed to avoid embarrassment. On vacations, he was the one in the pictures with his family with a tightlipped smile, recalled daughter Lindsay, an eighth-grade student at E.V. Cain School. “The only way I could smile was through my eyes,” Tadlock said. As the years went on, Tadlock’s teeth continued to give him problems. He’d go to dentists. But, as he ruefully remarked, all they would do was “patch and paste.” Chantal Tadlock, John’s wife, said teeth were actually crumbling in his mouth. The Tadlocks heard about the work the El Dorado Hills non-profit teaching institute California Center for Advanced Dental Studies was doing. The center’s team travels internationally to teach dental professionals best practices and clinical innovations. It also gives back to the community and, with the aid of Rocklin dentist Mark Olson and a local team, was able to provide Tadlock with $60,000 in much-needed dental work, as well as a non-plastic surgery facial makeover, new clothes and hair styling. With KMAX’s “Good Day Sacramento” on the scene at Olson’s office Friday, Tadlock emerged from a stretch limousine to unveil his new look to family and friends. There were cheers as Tadlock, smiling broadly and proudly, walked down a red carpet for an interview with Channel 31 reporter Courtney Dempsey that aired during the morning show. Olson proudly looked on as Tadlock, a city of Roseville water department employee, took the attention in stride. It was a full mouth reconstruction, or, “rebuilding from the gums up,” Olson said. “He had a smile and a bite that didn’t fit his age – it was about 20 years ahead of his time,” Olson said. “What we did wasn’t about his teeth but about incorporating his smile into his face to create a seamless blend.” Also contributing to the new look were Dr. Tracy Campbell, who provided Botox injections, collagen applications and laser resurfacing on Tadlock’s face. El Dorado Hills’ Frontier Dental Laboratory pitched in with free lab work. “We made him function better but we made him look a lot better too,” Olson said. Chantal Tadlock said she never noticed when the two were dating that John had a close-lipped smile. They met around Valentine’s Day more than 20 years ago. “John would never have spent the time or money to do this for himself – not that we would have ever had that sort of money,” Chantal said. “It’s been a blessing and we’re all so thankful

Leinster monster Munster

12th Apr 2008, 21:23

Puma Power: Felipe Contepomi pocketed six goals

Puma Power: Felipe Contepomi pocketed six goals

Leinster brought Munster back to earth with a bump by notching up a well-worked 21-12 victory at RDS on Saturday.

Leinster brought Munster back to earth with a bump by notching up a well-worked 21-12 victory at RDS on Saturday, a result that leaves the Dubliners within touching distance of the Magners League title.

Felipe Contepomi landed six penalty goals from eight attempts in this niggly inter-provincial clash, and Jonathan Sexton topped off the win with a late drop-goal as the league leaders put 12 points between them and the second-placed Cardiff Blues in the standings.

Worryingly for Munster, with their Heineken Cup semi-final trip to Saracens just a fortnight away, half-backs Ronan O'Gara and Peter Stringer both picked up injuries.

O'Gara did not return for the second half after injuring himself at a ruck, while Stringer had to stretchered off in a neck brace after his team-mate Anthony Foley accidentally caught him with an elbow.

Leinster made a business-like start with Contepomi popping two penalties through the posts inside six minutes.

Munster showed plenty of fire but it was the Leinster pack who exerted more control in the tight exchanges and their aggressive defence and work around the fringes knocked the visitors off their stride.

Leinster had an extra week's preparation for this game and Michael Cheika had them primed - they even had a Munster-like line-out maul which gained 20 metres for them.

Leinster ended the first quarter with a 9-0 lead as Contepomi landed his third penalty success after a John Hayes scrum infringement.

Two penalties in the space of six minutes, with O'Gara the scorer, got Munster back in contention. The second came after illegal use of the boot from Malcolm O'Kelly.

The best move of the first half followed when Leinster launched a rapier-like thrust towards the Munster line.

The side-stepping Sexton was involved twice and prop Stan Wright, who put in immense work, also got on the ball before Rob Kearney was superbly bundled into touch by Doug Howlett at the corner flag.

But Leinster did manage to stretch their lead in injury time when a soft penalty award allowed Contepomi make it 12-6 at the break.

O'Gara's replacement Paul Warwick notched a confidence-building penalty kick, four minutes after the resumption.

However, Contepomi kicked the second of two quick penalty attempts, after Donncha O'Callaghan had infringed at a ruck, to keep the home side ticking.

Stringer's injury halted play and took the sting out of the match for a while, yet Munster, boosted by Paul O'Connell's introduction, soon found an extra gear.

Two busts forward from Ian Dowling got Declan Kidney's men up to the Leinster 22 and a jinking run from Howlett also tested Leinster's mettle out wide.

A try never came and Warwick's second penalty hit proved to be Munster's final score.

Had Dowling spotted Howlett coming through on a great angle in the 66th minute, the All Black might have touched down but the wingers failed to link up and Leinster ruthlessly closed out the win.

Contepomi nailed his sixth penalty from eight attempts after Munster centre Rua Tipoki had been sin-binned for a neck-high challenge on Luke Fitzgerald.

Sexton added the icing with a smartly struck drop-goal and with the young out-half punching the air with delight, Leinster could be just a game or two away from their second league crown.

The scorers:

For Leinster:
Pens: Contepomi 6
Drop: Sexton

For Munster:
Pens: O'Gara 2, Warwick 2

The teams:

Leinster: 15 Girvan Dempsey, 14 Shane Horgan, 13 Luke Fitzgerald, 12 Felipe Contepomi, 11 Rob Kearney, 10 Jonathan Sexton, 9 Chris Whitaker, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 Keith Gleeson, 6 Shane Jennings, 5 Malcolm O'Kelly, 4 Leo Cullen (c), 3 Stan Wright, 2 Bernard Jackman, 1 Ollie le Roux.

Munster: 15 Denis Hurley, 14 Doug Howlett, 13 Lifeimi Mafi, 12 Rua Tipoki, 11 Ian Dowling, 10 Ronan O'Gara (c), 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Anthony Foley, 7 Denis Leamy, 6 Alan Quinlan, 5 Mick O'Driscoll, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 John Hayes, 2 Jerry Flannery, 1 Tony Buckley.
Replacements: 16 Frank Sheahan, 17 Federico Pucciariello, 18 Paul O'Connell, 19 Niall Ronan, 20 Tomas O'Leary, 21 Paul Warwick, 22 Kieran Lewis.

If you have any bodies of water near you, I'd go out for a hike and see what you can turn up.

Otherwise, you might want to take a look at manzanita branches, I believe they are used in floral arrangements and weddings and such, and a lot of them look pretty good, if you turned it upside down, it would probably pass for roots (especially if you cut all of the branches level, and put them in the substrate)

Barbra Streisand

With the news that Academy Award-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes will pen the screen remake of Gypsy, the iconic showbiz musical by Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim, for Barbra Streisand's Rose, the staff would like to suggest a few actresses we believe could play the role of Rose's daughter Louise, the part created on Broadway by Sandra Church and later on film by Natalie Wood.

Here, in no particular order, are a baker's dozen of the many multi-talented performers we think would score in the role of the young, insecure Louise, who eventually becomes the world-famous stripper Gypsy Rose Lee.

Gamer Next Door: Sleeping Dogs

By Jo Garcia

Gamer Next Door: Sleeping Dogs:

Already garnering attention for not just the intense gameplay but the story itself, Sleeping Dogs will keep any gamer on the edge of their couch (or futon; we’re not judging).

The open-world action game takes place in Hong Kong with you as the main character Wei-Shen, sent undercover to infiltrate one of the most infamous criminal organizations. Our very own Gamer Next Door Jo Garcia had a chance to play the game and then headed over to United Front Games to talk to their Senior Producer Jeff O’Connell about the game and, yes, even fish-slapping.

The best part about this game? In Jo’s words, “You get to be a good cop and a bad cop!” That may tell us more about Jo than it does the game, but we’re okay with that.

Rumor: New Headset Listing Suggests the PS4 Headset Compatibility Firmware Update Will be 1.60

January 24, 2014 Written by Jason Dunning

As we’re still awaiting the PS4 firmware update to add support for the Pulse Elite headsets, a new listing for a “Sony – Gold Wireless Stereo Headset for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3″ has popped up on Best Buy, Rakuten, and Play-Asia’s websites. Interestingly, while Best Buy says it’s Stereo in their title, Play-Asia has a much more detailed features list and says it’s 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound.

Here’s the full list of features found on Play-Asia:

  • A Headset for Gamers: Experience everything from the big booms to whisper-quiet warnings in stunning 7.1 virtual surround sound** (7.1 Virtual Surround Sound and Audio Modes are only available on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 systems and require system software versions 4.20/1.6 or later respectively) and chat with friends through the hidden noise cancelling microphone
  • Developed by PlayStation: With the Headset Companion App, download custom game modes created exclusively for PlayStation by developers that are specifically tuned to enhance the audio in your favorite games
  • Stylish Comfort: Slip into comfort you can enjoy for hours and a look you can take anywhere. Further customize your look can take anywhere. Further customize your look by swapping out the removable faceplates for something more your style
  • Adaptable Audio: Connect wirelessly to your PS4, PS3, and home computer, or connect to your PS Vita system or other mobile device with the included 3.5mm audio cable and take your sound with you
  • Compatible Hardware: Mobile Devices (Not all mobile devices are supported. Certain features may not work on some compatible mobile devices)

Something very interesting above is how PS4 system software version 1.60 is required for the headset to work, yet that update hasn’t been released (the PS4’s latest was 1.52). So, it looks like Sony will be jumping right to 1.60 the next time they issue a firmware update on the PS4, and it looks like headset compatibility will be included.

For even more information, a Reddit user has uploaded some images of the headset, with a supposed spec sheet saying the Gold Wireless Stereo Headset will be out in Canada and the US during February:

Aside from the blue insides, this ‘Gold Headset’ has a similar design to the PlayStation 3 Wireless Stereo Headset released previously.

Of course, until all of this is confirmed by Sony, treat the headset and firmware update number as a rumor for now.

[Thanks, Trevor!]

35-37 Davidson St, Port Douglas QLD 4877

Port Douglas Attractions

The Great Barrier Reef was world heritage listed in 1981 and is the largest structure on Earth made by living organisms. It extends more than 2,000km from just south of the Tropic of Capricorn off Queensland's central coast, north to the coastal waters of Papua New Guinea.

It has the world's largest collection of coral reefs, some 3,400 - 4000 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish and 4,000 types of mollusc. Most of the reef is around two million years old with the oldest sections dated at 18 million years old.

Daintree / Cape Tribulation Rainforest is where the rainforest meets the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, an area north of Daintree River and village.

The Daintree Cable Ferry provides access into the Daintree / Cape Tribulation Rainforest area. This area is accessible by conventional vehicles except during periods of heavy rain when it is recommended access by 4WD only be used.

It is a little known fact that the Daintree Rainforest, an ancient World Heritage-listed wonderland in our own backyard, is older than the Amazon. It's here the green mantle of the forest slopes plunge to the tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, where fringing reefs grow almost to the shore. No where else in the world can you experience these two natural wonders side by side - where World Heritage-listed reef and rainforest actually meet.

From the Daintree Village, the wonder of the Daintree and Cape Tribulation is on your doorstep. About 3,000 plant species from 210 families are found in the rainforest. Twelve out of the world's 19 families of primitive flowering plants grow here and within these families, there are at least 50 species found only in the rainforest. While many of the plants in the rainforest have been around for millions of years, there are ferns that have been around for much longer.

Pray for safety and focus

I had knee surgery in January and want to start driving again. My birthday was last month and my license expired. I wasn't able to get in to renew it before the date. I walked in on crutches. The employees immediately said that I would have to take a drive test to ensure that I could move my leg from brake to accelerator and back in a safe manner without hurting myself or anyone else for that matter. It was also an insurance issue. I was granted a temporary license to practice in the town where we live and my test is this afternoon. I'm a good driver and have been driving since I was 17. I know I can do the test right but I need the car and the licence so I can go back to work when I'm ready to do so and when the doctor discharges me to do so. Thank you!!!

There is another meeting to help determine the direction of the Straddleline ORV Sports park when it reopens in the spring. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 18th, 6pm at the Timberland Library in Monetesano. The meeting room is located around the back of the building on the bottom level. The County Commissioners are getting the information needed to decide whether the park will reopen as a County run facility or be contracted out to a private vendor. There are pros and cons to both ideas and as 4 wheelers we need your support. Brandon & I have attended the two other meetings and are the only 4 wheelers there. If you would like more information or would like to ride along to the meeting on Monday please give me a call at 253-381-7916 or email me at . There have been alot of emails going out to the motorcycle community for privatization. Like I said I think there are pros and cons for both but we need to have people show up and voice their opinions. Both meetings have been really constructive. I have had conversations with a person who has voiced an interest in running the park. Before I can support that I would want a written contract protecting the rights of the 4 Wheel Drive users but I need to know what you want.

I would also like to know if the price were right who would be interested in hosting an event at the park. Let me know what you think and we would love to see you at the meeting,

Angie Marek

T-Birds tumble to Oil Kings, 6-2

The Thunderbirds
The Thunderbirds' Adam Kambeitz pushes the puck up the ice against Edmonton's T.J. Foster.

The Edmonton Oil Kings defeated the Seattle Thunderbirds 6-2 Tuesday night at the ShoWare Center.

The T-Birds are in seventh place in the Western Conference playoff standings with 50 points – one point better than the eighth-place Everett Silvertips and six points ahead of the ninth-place Prince George Cougars.

Seattle has three games in three nights starting on Thursday in Kelowna. The game against the Rockets is at 7:05 p.m. They then travel to Kennewick to take on the Tri-City Americans at 7:05 p.m. They return home to face the Americans at the ShoWare Center at 7:05 p.m. Saturday.

Edmonton (44-15-2-3) went in front 1-0 at 6:56 of the first period on an unassisted goal from Dylan Wruck.

The Oil Kings outshot the T-Birds 8-5 in the first period.

T.J. Foster gave the Oil Kings a 2-0 lead with a power-play goal at 2:22 of the second period. Michael St. Croix and Henrik Samuelsson had the assists.

Edmonton extended the lead to 3-0 at 10:41 of the second when Cody Corbett scored. Stephane Legault and Mitch Moroz were credited with the assists.

Danny Mumaugh replaced Brandon Glover in Seattle's net after the third Edmonton goal. Glover made 13 saves on 16 shots and his record dropped to 20-26-5-1.

Seattle (21-34-7-1) got on the board at 13:11 of the second on a power-play goal from Alexander Delnov. Luke Lockhart centered the puck from behind the Edmonton net to Delnov in the slot. Delnov rifled the puck past Edmonton goalie Laurent Brossoit for his 20th goal of the season.

Edmonton outshot Seattle 10-5 of the second period and led 18-10 in total shots after two periods.

Henrik Samuelsson made it a 4-1 Edmonton lead at 6:35 of third when he scored a power-play goal. Wruck and Martin Gernat had the assists.

St. Croix scored on a breakaway at 8:42 of the third to get the Oil Kings fifth goal of the game. Gernat and Brossoit had the assists.

Lazar scored a power-play goal at 13:19 of the third to get the Oil Kings sixth goal. St. Croix and Samuelsson were credited with the assists.

The T-Birds got their second goal of the game on a nifty passing play from Roberts Lipsbergs, Delnov and Lockhart. Lipsbergs carried the puck up the ice into the Edmonton zone. After crossing the blue line he dropped the puck to Delnov. Delnov passed the puck to Lockhart skating down the slot. Lockhart received the puck skating backwards, pivoted forward and put around the outstretched left pad of Brossoit. Lockhart's 19th goal of the year came at 16:24 of the third.

Mumaugh stopped nine of 12 shots in 30 minutes of action.

Brossoit made 16 saves on 18 shots and his record is now 29-8-2-3.

Asus hints at Windows 8 tablet, tells us Ballmer only uses a Zenbook

Benson Lin, global head of handheld devices at Asus, has hinted to Pocket-lint that the company is working on a Windows 8 tablet for launch later in the year.

"For Microsoft we would be allowed to say that we are very, very, very close and work hard with Microsoft," Lin told Pocket-lint in a one-to-one interview at Mobile World Congress when we asked him what the company's plans were for a Windows 8 tablet.

"If you are Microsoft, which partner will you select? It is very simple," added the man in charge of the successful Transformer range.

If Asus is planning on making and releasing a Windows 8 tablet it wouldn't come as a surprise.

The company's Asus Tranformer, and Asus Transformer Prime are considered the best Android tablets on the market. They also come with a optional keyboard, so would suit the Windows 8 touch and more traditional desktop environments.

Lin is right, Asus and Microsoft do have a strong partnership, one that according to Lin goes all the way up to the top of the tree.

"Steve Ballmer only uses the Asus Ultrabook," Lin tells us anecdotally in our interview, clearly excited to relay the story. "I just came from meeting Microsoft last week and they told me Ballmer only uses our Zenbook."

If Ballmer's on board with using the Asus Zenbook you can be sure that he won't want Google to have all the fun with Android, and will want a snazzy looking tablet from Asus for his new operating system too.

But further questioning on the company's Windows 8 plans met with "no further comment".

Microsoft's Windows 8 Consumer Preview allows consumers to test out the new operating system is now available for download for free.

Reebok FitList Spotify app: Create the ultimate running playlist in five clicks

We all know training to music can be really powerful stuff, and now Reebok and Spotify have just announced a new Spotify app that is going to make your training sessions a whole lot easier.

The British sports brand in partnership with Spotify has launched FitList, a new app which creates playlists based on the activity you are doing, the intensity you want to train at, and the length of time you are planning to train.

No more spending ages deciding what to listen to - the app does it for you and boosts your workout by matching songs and artists based on your music tastes/likes and the workout you are going to do. Nice.

Once the app has created the playlist on the desktop you can export it to the Spotify app before selecting to make it available offline for your training run regardless of what platform you use, be it Android or iPhone.

The secret here is that FitList takes into account what music you like and matches other artists and music that suit your tastes, and then marries it to your selected workout type by taking into account BPM and energy levels required, providing you with the perfect playlist for your workout.

"No two workouts are the same, and now no two playlists will be the same," Reebok explains to Pocket-lint.

The app lets you select activities from Running, Walking, Training, Dancing, and Yoga and will create a playlist from 5 minutes to 60 minutes.

Users will be able to share their FitLists, as well as subscribe to FitLists created by others, including professional sportsmen and women such as Eli Manning and Tara Stiles.

The service is powered by a company called The Echonest. It describes itself as having a "music intelligence platform [which] synthesises billions of data points and transforms it into musical understanding". Customers include Vevo, Nokia, Spotify, and others.

To celebrate the new feature, Reebok has also created a limited number of FitList Boxes in celebration of the launch. These boxes light-up reactively to sound and also act as a speaker you can plug your iPod into! Only 100 boxes were produced and also included a pair of limited-edition Reebok Flex trainers. They will be on display at Reebok FitHub in NYC.
