When I was a kid one of the greatest things about Christmas was finding out what calendar that had been left for us. There was always one we wanted. Even today we rush out every year and pick up a calender, we flick through it and find a picture or two, sometimes more, that we just don’t like.

And the years have passed, I no longer buy calendars, but every Xmas when they hit the shelves I get a little craving to buy one. Again the same story plus there is no real need not when our phone are the way they are.

About a week or so ago I stumbled across 1st Picture Calendar Widget THD by Kashban. Finally we could have a calender from our childhood on our phones.

Features include

• Ability to choose picture for each individual month
• Ability to assign a caption for each month
• Lockscreen widget for Android 4.2
• Picture randomizing
• Light and Dark calendar design
• Optional frame and/or spiral binding around picture

Oh, and did I mention all this is for the low price of free? Well it is. It is ad supported, however there are NO ads on any widget you place. Plus if the ads during setup bother you that much you have the option to unlock the full version in app for the low price of 84p.

And it does not stop there, the next update coming should (hopefully) show the birthdays of your contacts, and even display their profile picture if it is available and you wish to display it.

Now there is one small issue. It does not play well with Sony Xperia devices, and the odd tablet. Why? Well it is better I just share what is written in the Play Store description

Why won’t the Widget run on my Smartphone / Tablet?
A: This may have several causes. Some Homescreen Launcher do not work well with sizable Widgets so that the Picture Calendar Widget is unable to calculate Layout and Text Sizes after a Resize. Others do not use the default Icon Matrix (4×4 on Phones, 6×6 on Tablets), which puts up some difficulties for showing the Widget Content accordingly. Known Launchers not able to work with sizable Widgets are the Atom Launcher and the Sony Xperia Z-Launcher. I therefore excluded all Sony Devices from the compatibility list of my App. If you happen to use the Sony Launcher with Android 4.1+ on a device not from Sony, you might encounter serious issues. The Sony Launcher is NOT ready for Android 4.1+.

So unless you have a Sony device then there is no reason you should not be rushing off to the Play Store and giving this a try.

And for anyone who is interested in the pictures I am using on mine they are all from the the creative hand of George Anderson aka Drawn on Android. Check out his work either on his Google+ page or his website, and I am sure it will not be the last time you see his work gracing the pages here. Lookout for a closer in-depth look at his work in the near future.

I’m a sucker for a good leather case for my phones. Every phone I have had over the last 3 or 4 years has had one. Now I have had my Nexus 4 for almost 3 months and I had still not managed to find a nice one.

Enter the folks at MobileFun.com, I got chatting with them and they showed me the Rearth Ringke Discover case for the Nexus 4. And what a beauty it is. Hand-made leather with a reinforced inside plus the usual refinements. Not to mention that it is tan. So I started screaming “Shut up and take my money”, placed the order and waited for it to arrive.

My first impressions once it arrived was this is nice, very nice. Even before it is out of the box you are presented with a feeling that this is a quality product. The box is solid, well thought out. You know this is not a cheap case before you manage to open it.

Once opened I was not disappointed. The leather feels great. Not too stiff or harsh but solid and well built. The holder for the Nexus 4 is attached very well also. I will say this about the phone holder. When I first saw it, and saw that it was white, I was not sure how I would feel about it. After a few days of use I have stopped longing for it to be black and see that white is the right colour for it. Around the side edging there are cut outs for the power and volume buttons, Along the top and bottom it is curved to allow access to the headphone port, the usb port and both the mics are open and clear. And, let us not forget the openings for the camera and speaker along the back. The standard of the cutouts is on par with what I was expecting once I saw the case. Everything is of a very high standard and so far there is nothing to complain about.

The flip cover part of the case it again of a high standard, the one problem with it is the same that plagues all cases of this type. Yes it has room for a couple of cards and some notes. The problem is when you load it up with say 3 credit cards and a handful of notes the case no longer closes right. In saying that this is not really a fault of the case. It is more something that affects all cases of this style. As long as you are travelling light then you will have no issues.

As I said above, I am no stranger to this type of case. I have used many before now. This one is the first one once popped on I have yet to take off. It is hard to explain why, perhaps it is the total quality of the case just leads me to keep it on at all times. Another thing, I hate taking my phone out in the rain. I mean if you call me and I am out in the rain I will not answer. I like my phone too much. I know it can handle a little bit of rain but there is a part of me that still gets worried about taking it out. So around 2 days ago I was out walking about, in the rain, and got a call I had to take. There was no way I could not. So for the next hour there is me walking about in the rain and for the first time I was not worried. I felt totally at ease talking with the cover closed knowing my phone was not getting ruined. Oh, the cut out for the earpiece, same high standard as everything else.

At $26.49 the Rearth Ringke Discover case is amazing value.For anyone that is looking a seriously high quality case then you should consider this. While it will not suit everyone, those that it does appeal too need look no further. Click the link below to be taken straight to the page.

And before I leave you links I just want to share a few words about my experiecnce with the folks at MobileFun. They have been great. The service has been great, the range of products they have on offer is wonderful. Go spend some time on their site, I am sure you will find a few things to catch your eye,

Us Linux users never get it easy. You would think once we popped our new shiny Nexus device out of the box and plugged into our machines we would be able to drap and drop files with ease. After all Android is Linux based, how hard would it be to have this out of the box for us.

Well the truth is that it is not that hard. It is also not as simple as plugging your phone into the pc and your off dragging and dropping. Thankfully Xda member marty331 has written a quick little guide designed to enable it for you. He says:

You are unable to just plug in your Nexus 4 in Linux but it is very easy to mount and unmount to move data to/from your sdcard. This is one option that will allow you to utilize Nautilis (or any other file browser) to copy files to/from your Nexus 4. This is written for Ubuntu, but should work the same for other Linux systems. Also, this should work for Nexus 7 and 10.

All you really have to do is open up your Termail and type in a few commands and your set. Are we ready?

1. Enable Developer options and enable USB debugging.
2. Install necessary modules to your computer:
sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs
3. Configure 51-android.rules:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
paste the following at the end of the file (if the file does not exist then just paste):
#LG – Nexus 4
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTR{idVendor}==”1004″, MODE=”0666″
#Samsung – Nexus 7 & 10
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”18d1″, MODE=”0666″

Save and exit.
4. Make the file executable:
sudo chmod +x /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
5. Restart udev
sudo service udev restart
6. Create mount point and permissions (will need to do this for other Nexus’ if using for the 7 or 10)
sudo mkdir /media/nexus4
chmod 755 /media/nexus4

7. Plug in the Nexus 4 and make sure MTP is enabled.

8. Mount with the following command:
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/nexus4

9. When you have completed your work you must unmount:
sudo umount /media/nexus4

Now each time you need to copy from/to your Nexus 4 to your Linux computer you only need to plug in and run 8, then 9 when you have completed your work.

And there you have it. Mounting your Nexus device in Linux is as simple as that.

If this has been of help to you, please stop by Xda and thank marty331 for his guide. You can leave him a comment or click the thanks button and let him know that he has helped you out.

Xda guide: [HOWTO] Mount Nexus 4 in Linux

Browsing through the Play Store the other day I found this in the Trending section and was curious. Sure I have seen a few apps like this claiming the same thing but all have had awful reviews on the Play Store. This was was sitting with an average review of 4.6. Perhaps it was worth a closer look.

The firs thing you notice when you open it up for the first time is that AWFUL UI. There is just no escaping form it. This thing is bad. I’m not talking iOS or Gingerbread bad. It is worse than that. Check out the gallery below and you will see what I mean, it is bad. Yet, that 4.6 score kept me from from quickly exiting and removing it. I mean with between 1-5 million installs there has to be something going for it.

Well it is not the search. I found the search to be crap. Mostly because you cannot search directly for anything. You can search in a more general sense of how we are used to it. Refining it by language and by Genre is all you are going to get. At first I was really confused by this, but in a statement on their website they explain:

We have received many requests for the feature of searching by title, and the value of this feature is considered very seriously. Still, we have to say sorry that we decide not to provide this feature recently. Due to copyright restriction, there are not enough movies yet, maybe will never be, on youtube for us to search them by title. Those we can watch for free are movies that no one ever claimed copyright. If we provide a search bar, the result it can return is mostly, eh…, disappointment.
The core value of MovieTube is a tool for digging out valuable movies buried by tons of boring videos using the power of user community and our editors. We never intended to replace Google Play Movies or Netflix. To make it easier for you to find interesting movies on YouTube, we are adding genre, IMDB, subtitle info now and soon we will be able to support more search conditions. Stay with us to see our progress.

I get why they have taken this path. While it may be a little more frustrating it is not as frustrating as it could be. Once you get passed that finding movies is simple enough. Hit Search, change the Language to English and select a Genre. Scroll down the list until you see something you like and off you go, clicking on a link opens the film up in YouTube or your browser. In the last week I have used this to sit down and watch films like Enemy Of The State, Lord of War and more. I have even seen things like Twilight and Harry Potter on there if that is your sort of film.

While I still cannot forgive any developer for a UI like they have given us this does have a couple of good points. I mean if you are just looking a little quick and simple way to watch a film and you don’t mind what you watch this could be just the thing for you.

So give it a go and try and forgive it for how it looks. At the end of the day it delivers on what it says it offers and it does it well. I just wished it looked prettier doing it.

I don’t review themes. Let me just put that out there. There is two very good reasons for that. The first is that our friends over at Android Dissected already do such an amazing job of covering all the wonderful themes out there that to be perfectally honest I feel no need to cover themes.

Ah, but I know what you are thinking, you are thinking “But Robert, you are covering a theme right now.” And you are right. Which brings me to my second reason. No matter how many themes I install, no matter how good some of them are I always come back to one of two themes. And before you think I am bashing any other themers out there I am not. There is some very, very talented themers out there, however for me the two Jelly themes by Tun_SD are the best there is for me. There is JellyBlack and JellyBlue, now that JellyBlack has made its way to the Play Store I thought it was about time to show it off.

I have been using this theme for around a year now. The story behind it is quite fun (note: If I am wrong with any of this let me know and I will change it, someone is sure to know more that me). If you had a Desire HD and you liked your ASOP roms sooner or later you would try Black Ice. What a rom what was. I stopped flashing roms and was happy. Then Android 4.0 was released and that Black Ice look was missing. Enter Tun_SD. He was on a quest to bring back Black Ice. He became the themer for Ice Cold Sandwich on the DHD and carried that through to the One X with Ice Cold Sandwich and Ice Cold Jelly. After a year of theming over on Xda he now brings JellyBlack to the Play Store.

Also this is not the first time we have covered Tun’s work here. He was part of JusTunBean the inverted gapps package. Something he still does to some extent over in his Xda thread

Now, I know what you are thinking again “But it is just a simple black and white theme, it is nothing special. There are loads of themes like this on the Play Store.” Well you are right, somewhat. On the surface it appears simple, but it is all the under the hood tweaks that for the most part you will not notice straight away that make it what it is. There are over 40 themed apps at the moment and the end result is a simple delight.

While we are on the topic of themed apps I would like to say this. This is designed for AKOP and CM. I don’t run either as my daily driver. Instead I use BakedBean7 as my daily driver. I dropped him a message that

There is nothing fancy, nothing over-blown about this theme. It is understated to perfection. Perhaps it is just me I just find something about this that pulls me back to it time and time again.

Do yourself a favour grab this theme now. There is a Free and a Donate version in the Play Store, the Donate version is only £1.19 or $1.90 and I’m sure it won’t be long before we see JellyBlue beside it.

Around a month ago on Google Plus I saw a couple of posts from people showing off a vinyl skins for the Nexus 7 from a company called dbrand inc. Being the curious type I checked out the company and liked the look of them but I was not screaming “SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY”. The thing that bothered me was time and time again so many companies make products like this, claim they are amazing and wonderful. Then when you get your hands on it for yourself everything falls flat of what you were expecting. Looking through their product range I saw they did them for the Nexus 4 and it was only $9. I thought that is worth a gamble at $9.

But hang on how much is shipping. They are based in Canada, I am in the UK. I have seen other companies offer similar things for other phones in the past but have always been put off by the $30 shipping costs. Then I noticed this on their website

… all taxes are included, and a $3 flat-rate worldwide shipping cost is fair to all.

$3 worldwide shipping! That was just wonderful. I thought I have nothing to lose. Or I ordered one, shipping time was stated to be around 2 weeks and about 2 weeks later it arrives.

Boy does this thing look good. The first thing that struck me was how good it looked and felt. As you can see from the picture above I ordered the Titanium and to be honest when I first picked it up I expected it to be stiff and solid just like a sheet of metal. I mean it really looks that good. When the folks at dbrand say they use high quality realistic photos for promo images they mean it. Picking it up it bends and feels like vinyl. I must say though that I am impressed with the quality. This really does feel like a high quality product.

When I first posted a quick snap of this on my phone on Google+ there was a comment or two about the finish. If there was metal parts in the skin in order for it to have that look. The reason he asked was if there was there was a chance that it could cause problems with the antenna on the back. To be honest I had no idea, so I reached out to dbrand inc. and put these questions to them and in short no there is no metal in their skin. Nothing, zip. To quote them:

To answer your question, there is absolutely no metal (no shavings, no bits, no metal at all) in the Authentic 3M Vinyl we use. We called our 3M rep to confirm, who forwarded us to the technical specialist department. They informed us that the “metal” look is achieved through Titanium colored dye. It is purely a pigmentation process.

So there you have it. No metal. No risk of signal loss.

Applying the simple. Just head over to their site and follow the instructions they give you. It only took me a couple of minutes, and that was due too not getting it lined up right the first time.

Once lined up and applied the fit is perfect. I really love how the NEXUS on the back now stands out. And that comes pre-cut. No having to deal with cutting or popping it out yourself. And yes the cut out is perfect. I was so shocked at the final result of it.

The fit is flawless, have I mentioned that? If you carry on reading to the end, after the slideshow. there is a copy of the email that dbrand inc. sent me that goes into detail how much work they put into designing their skins 15 hours of work just to get the mould right for the Nexus lettering.

It also looks great and does not look like you have slapped a cheap and nasty sticker on your phone. Another bonus that I have found using it these last couple of weeks is that my Nexus 4 no longer slides about so easily in my hand or on a surface for that matter. I also think it would be a great way to protect that glass backing from getting scratched up too much when setting it down on anything.

There are 12 colour options to choose from, including the titanium. I am really tempted to pick one up for my Nexus 7 now. This would also be a great way for those of you that perhaps have a couple of Nexus 7′s around the house to easily and quickly tell them apart. Aside from the 4 and the 7 they also do skins for the Samsung Galaxy S3 Android wise, and Iphones. Ipads and games console controllers.

For more information on everything that dbrand inc. has to offer head  and to order one of these hit up their site dbrand.com

Hey Robert!

Glad to see you’re covering our products. To answer your question, there is absolutely no metal (no shavings, no bits, no metal at all) in the Authentic 3M Vinyl we use. We called our 3M rep to confirm, who forwarded us to the technical specialist department. They informed us that the “metal” look is achieved through Titanium colored dye. It is purely a pigmentation process.

If you’d like some more information for your review, we’ve included a bunch below. Use as much or as little of it as you’d like:

We federally incorporated dbrand inc. on 11.11.11 after purchasing and being constantly disappointed by the quality of materials and poor fit that existed with every other skin manufacturer on the market. A skin has only two aspects to it: the quality of vinyl used and the precision of the fit.

We use top of the line 3M textured vinyl, generally reserved for architectural re-upholstering and auto body trim. All of our manufacturing is done in-house in Toronto. All the die-lines are 100% original, in fact we don’t even look at the device coverage another company is offering until we’ve mastered the skin ourselves. After purchasing a device that needs a skin, this is our process:
1. Measure each side and button/speaker/microphone/camera/flash/etc with a standard ruler…
2. Draw the vector in Illustrator
3. Cut a sample
4. Apply it
5. Measure the offset of each cutout
6. Repeat
To get such a precise fit, we generally re-adjust the measurements for a device 4-500 times, and can take up to 50 hours in front of a computer to complete. With our top of the line vinyl cutting machinery, we can measure down to the 1/100th of a millimeter and see a tangible difference.

Some cutouts are quite simple, such as the camera/flash cutouts on the Nexus 4. Others, such as the “nexus” lettering are much more complex. To perfect the letter cutouts alone took about 15 hours. Would it have been easier to do what all the other companies did and skip it altogether? Of course! But that’s not what we’re about. Our mission is to give you the most precise fit available anywhere on the planet.

On top of providing such a precision fit, we work overtime to make the application experience as painless as possible. One way we are able to achieve this is by removing all cutouts for the customer. No other skin manufacturer on the market “weeds” out all the cutouts for the customer. The “nexus” cutouts are very intricate and very difficult to remove (requires tweezers). If the consumer was to remove them on their own, it would result in many ruined letters. Due to our extreme precision, the skin literally only fits one way. This enhances the user experience because either they put it on perfectly or they put it on dead wrong… there’s no middle ground.

Beyond the factory-fitted finish we offer, our corporation strives to provide a better shopping experience. Other companies tack on extravagant shipping costs and hide taxes until you near the end of the checkout process. We include taxes in all of our competitive prices, as well as offer a flat-rate $3 worldwide shipping cost on all items. Xxxxx Xxxxx (edited by me)), a major competitor of ours, charges $19.99 for the Nexus 4 back piece and between $20-100 for shipping to Canada.

Other companies hide behind photoshopped images of their product, unable to show the truth for fear that their items will go unwanted. We offer true images and HD close-up videos of all our products to give the user a genuine experience of how their device can look. To top it all off, we have a state of the art color selector interface, unparalleled by even heavyweights in the customization industry such as ColorWare.

Hopefully we have provided you with some useful tidbits for your article. Good luck, sir!

Yip, that is right. At the grand old age of 32 I have decided to go back to school. Why? Simply because I want to. So why am I telling you this? What reasons would I have for thinking that I could get away with writing a post about it.

You see, over the last year 2 laptops and 2 or 3 desktop pc’s in some shape or form have died on me. I just seem to be able to break them every few months. I am expecting the netbook that I am using to go the same path once of these days. With all this in mind, when I decided to  go back to school I said that I would use my Nexus 7. All my courses are online and I just need to be able to read and write things plus have access to email. With all that in mind I went app shopping.

Dropbox

There is not much to say about Dropbox. It is a must have app for storing files in the cloud. It is also a simple way to move files from your pc to your phone or tablet. With the desktop sync I can be working on something save it to a folder and have that folder instantly sync to my Dropbox account. That way it is there for me to download to the tablet and carry on working from it.

Google Play Link: Dropbox

ezPDF Reader

There is plently of free pdf readers around. A quick Play Store search and you will be tripping over them. Yet none of them were fully rounded. The list of features this brings to the table more than warrants the £2.55 asking price. If you are still not comfortable paying out the money without testing it first you can shoot an email off too UniDocsInc and they will send you a trial version to take a look at.

Google Play Link: ezPDF Reader

Aldiko Book Reader

Like ezPDF there are many ebook readers around. Perhaps it is because I had been using the free version of this for a long time I decided to stick with it. I have never had a problem reading any book with this. It also doubles as a decent basic pdf reader. I am sure for a lot of people it would be good enough. I just felt when it came to viewing pdf’s Aldiko fell short compared to the standard it had set throughout the rest of the app. That being said it is still worth the £1.99 asking price for the Premium version if you decide to upgrade, the free version is more than capable of handling all your needs.

OfficeSuite Pro 6

This is a big one, and that is not just because of the £9.19 asking price (don’t worry I will get to the price in a second). This is your fully functioning office client. It has a filee browser, text document, spreadsheet module presentation module, a PDF Reader. It supports a huge number of extenstions : DOC and DOCX, DOCM, RTF, TXT, LOG XLS, XLSX, XLSM and CSV. PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX, PPTM and PPSME. It also has the bonus of reading Outlook and passeord protected file. This really is the one stop Office Program that you need. But I know what you are thinking. You are thinking that it is a little bit expensive. It is and it is not. It is because most Android users are not used to paying more than a couple of quid for an app. I know I think twice before spending more than £3 on any app. The thing is this is not just any app. I will say it again. This is a fully functioning office suite, as in this is Microsoft Office for your phone. Not the student version, or a stripped down Starter version. It is the full thing and when you think that Microsoft Office retails for around £80-100 on Amazon. When you look at it like that is £9 that big a price to pay?

Hopefully with these apps in hand I will have all I need to get by. Some people will say that you cannot type well on a tablet. I am not really one of those people, but it is something I have thought about. Just before Xmas I noticed on Amazon the Motorola Xoom Keyboard on sale for £25, for that money it was worth picking up. The price, at this time of writing has jumped back up to £60 but if you look around I am sure you will be able to find it cheaper.

I know what it is like, most launchers are pretty much the same. Nova, Apex, ADW, Holo and all the others that shoot off from them all are pretty much the same. You want something new, something that stands out. Well SF Launcher from Alamo Apps has you covered.

One of the great things Google has done with JellyBean is Google Now and Cards. It just all looks so clean and tidy, not to mention pretty. SF Launcher aims to bring the Google Now look to your launcher. And Boy have they done a good job.

A swipe to the left takes you to the options a swipe to the right takes you to your app drawer. The centre screen is split into 3 sections. Top is the Header. Here you can choose from 3 options San Francisco, London, and the Generic Google Now background. It also shows the date and time. Clicking on the header opens up Google Now for quick easy access. Now the bottom is your Favourites  Here you can add apps while in the app drawer by simply long-pressing on them and selecting ‘Add Favourite’. Right now there is no way to arrange them once you add them. It is something that is being worked on, however for the moment if you do wish to have them in a set order just take a moment to plan out the order you add them and you will be fine.

The middle is left for widgets. You can have one widget showing at any one time. Your not limited to just one widget, you do have the option to add more in. I am using 6, three of which you can see above. And before anyone asks I am using the most very cool Magnified MetROID Panels UCCW by the1dynasty. They just set everything off beautifully.

This is still in Alpha stage, I have been testing it for almost a day now and I have not found anything I can really complain about, the not being able to arrange your favourites is perhaps the biggest issue for me personally (and it is not that big a deal). Some people have said to me that they would like the option to change the icons. My view, I hope that does not happen. My understanding of this is that it is to fit alongside the Google way of doing things. Once you start changing the icons you would need to re-theme the entire app for your icons to fit.

This is a great launcher, everyone should give it a try. It really brings a breath of fresh air to the replacement launcher scene.

Everyone’s favourite case maker Cruzerlite recently announced the Xda range for select handsets. Available for the Nexus 4, the Galaxy Nexus, the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2. I knew as soon as I saw them I had to have one, only question was what one to order?

At the time I was rocking a Note 2 and had no interest in keeping it, but I decided I was going to keep it and placed my order and forgot all about it. I get rid of the Note 2 for a Nexus 4 and head over and order a Xda case for it. Then yesterday my Note 2 case arrived that I had totally forgot all about.

Like I said above, this is a quick review. Quick because there is no Note 2 lying around here these days but that is not going to stop me.

slipping it out of the box the first thing that strikes you is just how nice the case feels. You know your holding something of quality. It feels tough and sturdy. I cannot wait for my Nexus 4 case to show up, the quality is easily 30 times better than any cheap case you might find on Amazon or Ebay.

This is a good moment to talk about the quality of the finish of the case. As with the build quality the transfer is of a very high quality. And to be honest to me it looks so much better than the pictures on the Cruzerlite site. The colours seem to be a little bit more subtle and I like that personally. I was worried that the orange was going to come across too strong. The final result is not as in your face and to me looks all the better for it.

This is a top quality case for anyone who wants to show their Xda support. So why are you still reading this? You should be heading to the Cruzerlite website and get yours ordered now.

Oh wait, I know. You are a Note 2 user and want to win this case.

As you may have noticed I have not mentioned how much the case is. There is a reason for that.  To enter all you have to do is send an email to email hidden; JavaScript is required with your answer to this simple question.

How much are Cruzerlite selling the Xda cases for?

It is really simple. If you don’t know, and you have not been to the Cruzerlite site click HERE, that should help you out.

Now for the legal stuff.

This contest is open WORLDWIDE. I don’t care where you are. You win I will ship it too you. The contest is open until Wednesday 23th January 2013 at 18:00 (GMT). If your entry arrives later than that it will not be in the running. The contest is open to everyone except employees and their familes of Cruzerlite and of Droidaphile. Finally, their is no alternative prize, winner will be decided at random by Droidaphile. Any details you provide will not be used for anything else. You are not signing up to any mailing list, we will not bug you or hassle you, mainly because we are far too lazy to that sort of thing.

Now that you have read all this the contest is open.
