But after about 2 years I got all the things I didn't have back then and I was ready to make my first digital clock, and with all the LEDs I had left over from my 8x8x8 LED cube project I decided to make my own custom LED clock.
So join me and build your own custom LED digital clock powered by our favorite little micro-controller the Arduino.
Step 1: What Do We Need?
1) Soldering Iron.
2) Some solder wire.
3) Small needle nose plier
4) Small cuter
5) Wire striper
I made my clock with a stand alone arduino without the original board because I wanted to make a finished project.
Now here are the parts you will need to make the clock:
1) 130 LEDs.
2) 15 2N4401 transistors.
3) 20 1K resistors.
4) about 10 resistors for the current protection(more detail in step 2). I used 150Ohms.
5) DS1307 real time clock IC.
6) one coin cell battery holder.
7) 4 Tact switches.
8) Prefboard (you would like to get along one for the display about 8inch*3inch)
9) ATMega328 with arduino bootloader.
10) A programmer for programing the chip.
11) 7805 voltage regulator.
12) 16MHz crystal.
13) two 22pF caps.
14) 28 pin IC socket for the ATMega328.
15)10 uF cap.
16)0.1 uF cap.
17) 4017 counter
18) 32.768KHz crystal
I made it..... use Arduino-0022 to upload the program you can download here
in the code, there is a line - " pinmode = SET.read();If it was pressed you will exit the while loop "
In front of the "if" needs two slashes, like so, pinmode = SET.read();//If it was pressed you will exit the while loop
this is my project ... i did it by follow schematics and sketch from this page... if your project doesn't work... double check your wiring and parts
ok it looks like it should be compiled with Arduino 0022, and this seems to be successful. probably because the DS1307 Library here is not matched with the latest Arduino IDE. okay thanks for the reply
In a lot of guides people are using 10K pull up resistors. What's the advantage of 10k ohms instead of 1k?
Does anybody have the new DS1307 library because the one in this guide isn't working anymore

Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
can you put the code with comments up soon
then i can reprogram it easyer
Good luck with your project
firsth time it did not work
and i gave up
it went into storage
but now it works
soon i will add a case
if i were to do it again
i would design a smaller power supply board
the board has:
0-10V lm317 (adjustable for the filaments)
0-100V ne555 (adjustable for the annodes)
5V 7805 (for arduino and all other chips)
ds1307 (for the time)
how can i djust the code to put a dot in every display?
i know it is posible becaus you use a 8 bit number conviguration
but what arduino pin do i need?
This means that you can use that extra pin for the dots.
If every segment has a dot next to it you can simply add 0x80 to a number and it will light up the dot. Note that each dot needs to me connected to the common ground of each segment that way you need to use just 1 pin to control 6 dots(with the help of multiplexing).
Anyone having a similar problem? any suggestions on how this could be fixed? I've tried disconnecting the reset pin from the circuit, but that didn't make any difference.
2.2kohm, read datasheet for further ado.
sketch will not compile; errors with the following
RTC was not declared in this function..
The compiler stop at: void loop(){
RTC.get(rtc,true);//get the data form the RTC IC .
I have the 1307 library in the right place.. what am I missing here
I'm stuck.
The compiler stop at: void loop(){
RTC.get(rtc,true);//get the data form the RTC IC .

TEAMS: Arizona State Sun Devils, Iowa State Cyclones, Michigan State Spartans, Washington State Cougars
Trey Griffey, the oldest child of future Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., has given a commitment to play football at the University of Arizona.
Griffey, a 6 foot-2, 185-pound wide receiver from Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Fla., made a visit to the Tucson, Ariz., campus last weekend, a week after visiting Arizona State.
"I feel great ... it was basically just the atmosphere and I loved everything about it," Griffey told the Orlando Sentinel, which first reported his decision. "It was just a great, enjoyable trip to Tucson.
"My parents said, 'It's up to you, you got to do what you want to do ... what you feel is right.' I'm going to the University of Arizona. It doesn't get any better than that."
Griffey was also considering Iowa State, Michigan State and Washington State. Griffey set school records for receptions (74) and receiving yards (970) as a senior and was rated as a two-star recruit by Scout.com.

Element Case makes some of the highest end, most exclusive, most luxurious iPhone and iPad accessories on the planet, and that's never been more true than with the Ronin for iPhone 5.
The Ronin FE blends CNC machined, aircraft-grade aluminum with ethically-sourced, renewable Ziricote wood offering a warm, lustrous finish and a soft, genuine leather backing for unrivaled style and protection unlike anything else in an iPhone case.
The Ronin features a wood and aluminum-blend frame completely encasing the iPhone 5's perimeter with in-line volume, mute-switch and power button controls. Its slim-yet-stylish curves fully engulf iPhone 5 in a comfortable, smooth and luxurious package offering full protection and stand-out style no other aftermarket accessory can offer. Inspired by the clean lines of the "Katana," or Samurai Sword, the Ronin bears its namesake for the legendary Japanese Samurai warriors with no allegiance to a lord or master -- thus the Ronin 5 lives in a category all its own.
I know they're drawing on Asian culture for inspiration, but to me the Ronin also looks like something straight out of the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings. It the kind of case Elrond or Galadriel would have born into battle and used to smite many a ruin upon the mountainsides.
But here's the best news of all... You can win one of your very own! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below telling Element Case you want one! We'll pick one of you at random, announce the winner in our usual post next week, and Element Case will send you your prize.
And if you just can't wait that long run, don't walk, over to Element Case and order yours now!
Source: Element Case
I ordered and have since received the Sector 5 FE which I believe to be the best looking case for an iPhone 5, well, until now. Although it has an entirely different "vibe," the new Ronin is beautiful. I want one.
I've never seen an iPhone case that I fall in love with at first sight. This is the one for me, I must have one!
OMG ; that is the Most BadAss case I've ever seen !! It's so me , & I would pimp this thing everywhere I go ! Please allow me to show off your case everywhere but giving me on , otherwise , I'll have to by one ! Not that I can afford it , & my Wife will probably kill me , but it looks so worth it !!!!
This case, when coupled with the ridiculously unnecessary purchase I made of Frodo's sting sword back in 2003 at The Lord of the Rings marathon, will finally validate my purchase thinking.
I would really love this case and i think it would compliment the iphone 5 white really well. I had an element case once for my iphone 4 and it was great , so i trust this one would be too
Absolutely gorgeous cases! I'd love to have one, just can't afford the price, but, free is VERY affordable!
Always been a fan of Element Case, great american company and even better products oh and outstanding customer support. Nothing like a sleek case for a sleek iPhone 5..I must have this!!
This is by far the best iPhone 5 or any other iPhone case i've ever seen. I want one, better yet, I want to win this one.
Bought an element case for my 4S and just let it sit in my desk due to it killing me reception, wold be nice to win one to make up for that loss.
I always wanted a $200 case to cover my $200 phone! I hope I win :) In all seriousness, it is a really awesome looking case.
I have super cool iphone on the way for christmas and would really like a super cool case to go with it please !!!
I'd love to win one! It seems to be one of the most natural-feeling cases one could ever get in their lives... There's a lot of synthetic and metallic cases on the market. This one breaks the trend and sets a new one! :D
To the Element folks... I would love to have one of you cases since they seem to be part of the second wave of real craftsmanship to be targeted at the new iPhone.. Good work.
Thanks !!!
OH YEAH! I've been drooling over an element case since the first time you reviewed them.
This one (Ronin) is PREPOSSESSING!!!
The RONIN Case is wonderful and I know I will love it.......... I want to WIN IT TODAY!
THANKS FOR OFFERING IT AS A POSSIBLE PRIZE....... I will await its delivery in the mail !
Loyal Fan of APPLE and iMORE..............
Dear Element Case,
I want a Ronin Case for my iPhone5! I think that's all that's required to win so ill await the postman arriving with my delivery and making my year!
Many thanks
Hey I'd love to have one for the iphone 5 i get for christmas, if i do win this will be my christmas present from you.
Hey I'd love to have one for the iphone 5 i get for christmas, if i do win this will be my christmas present from you.
I love one to save me from destroying my iPhone while hiking the Chief in BC or trying to catch a cab in NYC
I love these cases.. I found Element over a year ago and have been drooling at their products ever since. This would greatly compliment my iPhone 5!
Would complement my Glass Screen Protector well. Having an iPhone is more then just a phone it's almost like an accessory.
I totally love Element they make the best cases, I hope to win RONIN for my iPhone5, hope I get picked.
Happy Holidays To All
WOW! I love my Sector 5 FE, but I might just need to get one of these...
Sign me up for the drawing, you guys rock!
My iPhone 5 would love the chance to be wrapped in the sheer luxury of this case. Please pick me to be the new master of this Ronin!
This case looks amazing! I have been looking for a element case for my iPhone 5 for a while and didn't know which one to get because they all look so nice! I would absolutely love one!!! Would go great with my white iPhone 5!
I'd love one for my upcoming iPhone 5. Upgrading in 2 weeks and would love to start it off right with such a nice case.
I would love one! My birthday is this Saturday and I would really appreciate it if I could get this as my gift from iMore, since I promote your website to all my friends, and go on it every day! <3
I've had 3 iPhones and have had to do MANY self repairs and screen replacements because I like my iPhone naked. BUT THIS, this is a thing of beauty and would go great with my new iPhone 5 that I ordered yesterday. It's the one case that would make me change my ways!
The metal in case look cool. All I have is a cheap soft sheel case would love this case for business occasions !!!! PICK ME PLEASE !!!!
That's an awesome looking case that you all have created! I would love to show my friends how awesome it fits on my iPhone 5.
I haven't found a nicer looking case I'd consider covering my iphone 5 up with! Beautiful case! Would love one, please!
Awesome! This would make my wife's Christmas. She was just telling me that she wanted something totally different for a case for her new 5, which started me hunting. This would totally fit the bill! Help a brother out, here...

After issuing the obligatory (and mercifully heeded) cellphone warning and dispensing bouquets-upon-bouquets to generous sponsors, The Public's Lion King got serious with the gathering. "It's impossible," said Oskar Eustis, "for anybody to be in my job in the days after Marvin Hamlisch died and stand up and not acknowledge that Marvin Hamlisch was not only a great artist but the contribution that he made to The Public Theater with A Chorus Line and to the American theatre through that literally genre-transforming show is inestimable on one hand and on the other hand, for The Public, quantifiable in astonishing numbers. We are mourning Marvin's passing. We are immensely grateful for what he did for The Public, for the American theatre."
He followed that with a sad postscript: "We also need to take a moment to just acknowledge that we, at The Public, have dedicated this production to the memory of Nora Ephron, who was a board member, a lover of Shakespeare in the Park and a New Yorker par excellence. She made us all proud to be part of this city."
The press interviews that followed the show were held on the front lawn on the Delacorte — and, as usual, Donna Murphy made her usual elegant, last-to-arrive Star Entrance — and with some justification. This is one of those typical all-out Donna Murphy performances. Her witch arrives in a mass of blackness in a determined gait, hobbling along with walking stick, over-driving her voice with a husky rasp like Norma Desmond getting her last shot at the cameras. But not to worry about her voice — "I have a good voice teacher" — and the proof of that is that at the end of the show she does an almost healing version of "Children Will Listen."

She takes some pride in the Houdini-like on-stage exit she worked out with Sheader and Steel. "It's something that's evolved. It was an idea they had. They didn't want me to disappear off-stage, as has been done in previous productions, because they wanted it to be some kind of metamorphosis on stage, and, at one point, it was more extended, but we got that the audiences needed it to happen faster."

Denis O'Hare came to the show and his lead role of the baker like a blank page. "I never saw it," he admitted with utterly no embarrassment. "I don't know how I missed it. I never saw it or heard it, so I came at it with no previous ideas. [The Baker'] got a slow evolution. He's a flawed person who's in fear of a lot of things, and he strives to overcome it. He doesn't have a masterful breakthrough, but he definitely has a little bit of an evolution."
Happily, he shares scenes with Chip Zien who originated that role and now plays the baker's father — and even sings the other half of a duet with the baker.
"It was tricky when I first did it; I couldn't remember who's supposed to sing where," Zien confessed. "I couldn't see it from that perspective. You know what? It's really been like looking through binoculars from the wrong side, and it's very, very, very emotional. I love doing it with Denis. I hear in my head the voice of Tom Aldredge [who originated the role of the baker's father, identified as Mysterious Man]. I find it very moving to repeat the show, and also, just in the spirit of the show, I try to pass along something that was so meaningful to us when we were younger."
Who's responsible for this fortuitous casting? "I got a very lovely email from Lapine, who said, 'There's been some loose talk that it might be interesting if you would play the Mysterious Man. If this is something you'd be interested in doing, we'd love to see if we could make that happen. And then it did. I completed the circle. It meant a lot to me. It's fun for me because it's a trapped group of people to whom I could tell lots of stories about the original production, and they haven't heard them before."
Could it be that Amy Adams has been rapping her foot impatiently all this time, wrapping film after film and winning Oscar nominations (three, to date) — just waiting to be promptly challenged by theatre? Making your stage debut and doing it with Sondheim is what's known as Going In the Deep End. "That's what I figured," she chirped back, "but who wants to dive in the shallow end? You hit your head, right?"
The Baker's Wife does give her a character with the kind of backbone she has been known to flash on screen. "I like that she's a take-charge person. She's someone who believes in her wish — y'know, believes in what it is she's after. I like her chutzpah."
The not small fact that the role came with song didn't phase her or frighten her at all. "I didn't even know how difficult it was going to be until I started. I remember when I started learning the music before I even came into rehearsal. I knew the solos, but then I started on the group numbers, and I thought, 'Oh, what have I gotten myself into? This is really, really difficult.' But everyone has been great to me. I'm lucky to have really great models here with Jessie Mueller and Donna and Sarah — so many great singers in the show — so I just sat next to them in rehearsal and tried my best."

St. Louis County makes counteroffer to union to try to avert strike
St. Louis County managers said Monday they have made a new counteroffer to two county employee unions in hopes of avoiding a strike set for Friday.By: John Myers, Duluth News Tribune
St. Louis County managers said Monday they have made a new counteroffer to two county employee unions in hopes of avoiding a strike set for Friday.
County officials say they sent negotiators from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 66 a proposal essentially accepting what the union had proposed regarding accumulated sick leave.
Current county employees can bank up to 1,900 hours of sick leave, to cash out for a health savings account upon retirement. The county wanted to limit that to 1,150 hours for new employees to limit taxpayer liability in future years.
Union members balked at that proposal, saying a two-tier system would pit union members against each other and break their union. Instead, they countered with another offer — reducing both new and existing employees to 1,500 hours of banked sick leave. (The exception is employees who already have more than 1,500 hours but less than 1,900 would be allowed to keep what they have now.)
The county at first said no to that offer. But on Monday, it changed course with a strike date just days away.
"Reducing the sick leave benefit to 1,500 hours is a temporary solution to a long-term situation," said County Administrator Kevin Gray. "We will accept it for now if, in fact, this is what our employees want. But it's something we will need to revisit in future negotiations."
An AFSCME official did not immediately return a call to comment on the development.
About 1,005 members of Local 66 are authorized to strike at 12:01 a.m. Friday if a new contact isn't in place or if negotiations haven't resumed. They represent nearly two-thirds of the county's 1,640 employees.
The county's most recent offer is for a three-year contract with wage increases totaling 4.5 percent over three years — 1 percent retroactive for 2012, 1.5 percent retroactive to the start of 2013 and 2 percent for 2014. Health insurance and pension benefits remain unchanged. Additionally, each employee would receive a $480 lump-sum cash compensation upon settlement.
The two unions represent employees in nearly all of the county's departments, although the largest number are in social service areas. County officials say they have developed a contingency plan should a strike occur. This plan prioritizes services focusing on providing critical services. Some offices and departments would operate with reduced hours and/or locations.
The county said it will announce any changes in public services our hours of operation if a strike occurs.

The Swift Boating of Audiophiles
I should have hit Delete and resumed my vacation. But a few months earlier, Randi, without the slightest provocation, had attacked me on his website and the revenge fantasy of relieving him of a million of his bucks filled my head.
Aided by a goofy cover photo Tone Audio magazine had taken of me mugging (because methinks I should try not to take myself too seriously), Randi had mocked me for claiming in the October 2006 "Analog Corner" that it was possible to make plastic records "sound better" by demagnetizing them. "I mean, look at this guy," he wrote (I paraphrase); "no wonder he thinks you can actually demagnetize plastic," etc. [Randi's November 2006 comments are no longer accessible in his blog archive, but he did follow up on his comments at www.randi.org/joom/content/view/107/27/#i12.—Ed.] Of course I wrote no such thing, but as I came to learn, the Amazing Randi twists better than Chubby Checker.
The Back Story
A recent positive review of a 12' set of Pear Anjou speaker cables (ca $7200) by Positive Feedback's David Clark apparently so riled Randi that he was moved to add "hearing cable differences" to his long-running $1,000,000 paranormal challenge to prove the existence of ghosts, or that there are UFOs, or that you have ESP, or that you can talk to the dead, or that you can bend spoons (etc.). The challenge Randi proposed, according to his website, would be between Pear and Monster Cable, but Transparent's +$40,000 Opus speaker cable would do in a pinch, apparently because they were the most expensive he could find.
I e-mailed Randi and told him I accepted his challenge. Why not? I'm pretty sure I can hear cable differences. No, I'd better be able to—if I couldn't hear cable differences under "blind" conditions, I might just be the audiofool Randi had attacked me for being.
"But what if you can't hear differences?" friends cautioned. Better to find out now than later, I figured. I did, however, insist that the word paranormal be removed from Randi's challenge. There's nothing "paranormal" in my world about hearing differences among audio cables.
Randi suggested a number of reasons for performing a dry run before agreeing to the challenge, the most compelling of which is that the challenger pay all testing expenses. Better to be sure you can do as you claim before paying to find out you can't. Having never heard Pear's cables, I e-mailed the company and asked to borrow a set of Anjous.
I again e-mailed Randi (who had responded to one of my first communications by calling me "delusional," among other pleasantries) and offered an alternative cable choice: the TARA Labs Omegas I currently use as references, because I already have them and know what they sound like. Randi responded that he was okay with that, but that his acceptance would be subject to what his unnamed "advisors" told him.
Shortly thereafter, Pear told me they'd decided to back out of the challenge. I thought that was a bad move, but it was their choice. I insisted, however, that they inform Randi of the fact. I didn't want him hearing it from me.
The next morning, Randi's website headlined Pear's pullout, and he disgustedly announced to his acolytes that he'd known that the "blowhard" Fremer would never take the challenge, that the matter was closed, and that it was time to move on to the next challenger.
Talk about sleight of hand. Randi had used Pear's pullout as a cover for his own. Judging by the vitriolic follow-ups posted by his cultists, he'd gotten away with blaming both Pear and me.
I immediately logged in to Randi's on-line forum and laid out the timeline to his worshippers, including a copy of the last e-mail he'd sent me. I also called him a "lying sack of shit," which I thought accurate under the circumstances.
He responded, indignantly claiming that he'd never written that I'd "pulled out" (as if "end to the matter" says anything but), and that my reading comprehension was poor, adding a few other limp-noodle deflections for good measure that not even the drinkers of the Randi acid-laced Kool-Aid were buying, judging by their follow-up posts.
Sensing that he was losing the troops, the Alarmed Randi went into a full-court sympathy press, using a "medical emergency" as an excuse—he actually scanned and posted online a copy of his emergency-room wristband. I don't doubt it was a real emergency, but if he was well enough to produce his "blowhard" post, he could just as easily have written a truthful one—a point not lost on a gratifyingly large number of his readers, judging by the private e-mails I received afterward.
Why did Randi's advisors reject my offer? They told him that I might "do something" to my reference TARA cables, or put some kind of secret signal on them that only I could hear, and that would alert me to their being in the system. (I'm not making this up.) Why the advisors thought I couldn't also do that to the Pear or Transparent cables, he didn't explain.
Should have folded my tent
At this point I should have waved Randi bye-bye and rejoined the real world, but I couldn't: there were still people lurking on his site taking his side, saying I'd copped out and calling me names. Worse, the story was spreading virally on the Internet like open sewage. Every morning that week, Google Alerts e-mailed me URLs of sites picking up the story, most of which had run with the "Fremer backed out" storyline—much the way the media ran with the fake "Hillary waffled on immigrant licenses" story (read the transcript). Not a good way to start the day.
Still, I should have folded my tent, content that my online encounter with Randi had opened the eyes of many of his supporters. But no, I had to press on, posting long explanations and corrected scenarios on website after website, all day, day after day. At the end of the week, my wife said, "I don't know what's wrong with you, but you're acting weird. You're distracted and have been a nasty grump all week, and I'm sick of it." She was correct.
Toward the end of the week I received some taunting e-mails asking why I'd refused to accept Randi's original option of the Transparent Orpheus. I responded that, had I done so, Randi would have backed out again, using as an excuse that Transparent uses a network in series with its cables, and that therefore they were actually "components," not cables.
A few days later, that's precisely what Randi did. Finally, I logged on to Randi's site and said "bye-bye" to the whole stupid scene, whereupon I received a particularly understanding and sympathetic e-mail from one of Randi's minions, whose eyes had been opened. Here's part of my response to that reader:
"Randi's name calling is repellent. But people who enjoy high-performance audio are used to it. For some reason, gourmets, exotic car owners, oenophiles, etc. are respected as are the producers of fine wine, food and cars, but for some reason, producers of high performance audio and the people who own their products are singled out for derision (audiofools, etc.). There's a stereotype out there, one that angry guys like Randi are happy to exploit in the name of 'consumer protection,' but really it's for their own self-aggrandizement.
"What's funny about it is that on one side are the derisive cynics who think the industry is run by charlatans who fool the gullible and on other side are the consumers and readers with whom I communicate on a regular basis. Who are they? Chiefs of Radiology at major hospitals, doctors, money managers, CEOs, successful lawyers, writers and journalists in other fields, and other powerful people who have accomplished much in their lives and are smart and not easily fooled. Having a high performance audio system is a terrific stress reliever and brings these people tremendous joy. I also communicate with cops and firefighters and postmen who share the enjoyment, some of whom manage to buy the really expensive high performance gear by sacrificing in other areas. That's how important an immersive music experience is for them.
"Why should these people, or any of us be subjected to the snarling, name calling, lie-filled abuse of people like Mr. Randi? Why doesn't he and the others snarl at people who spend $500 on a bottle of wine and then drink it, and it's gone? I don't get why they single out audiophiles. If a guy or gal wants to spend $20,000 on a watch that tells time with no greater accuracy than a Swatch, so what if they've got the money? Same with audio. Meanwhile, look where all of the attacks on 'audiofools' have led: MP3s, plastic computer speakers, and the marginalization of music in people's lives. People don't listen to music anymore for the most part. They hear it while cooking or cleaning or driving or working out but do they sit and really pay full, undivided attention to it anymore? Few do. Audiophiles do. They sit down, turn off the lights, and pay attention. What is wrong with that? Why should they be singled out for abuse? In Europe, where I attend hi-fi shows, the crowds are big and the demographic young. Owning a good audio system is an aspirational goal for kids there. They appreciate good music. America's been poisoned in that regard. Guys like Randi are part of the problem.
"As for the audio arguments, look, there are people who prefer CDs to LPs and vice-versa, though understand there is a vinyl resurgence right now worldwide that's amazing and it's engaging a young generation of kids who grew up listening to files. I talk to these kids all the time. Some people like tube gear, some don't. Whatever. None of these preferences should cause anyone to be subject to attacks. It's ludicrous. I know engineers and mastering guys on both sides of all of these arguments and we're all friends. We're all on the same page trying to improve the sound of recorded music . . . and that's all I have to say . . . "

Behind The Project
With her first children's book release – The Night Visitors – local author Bernice Ramsdin Firth wanted a way to sell it online. She also wanted a site which could accommodate future book releases so we adapted her chosen theme on wordpress.com as much as we were able given WordPress' server limitations and hooked it into PayPal.
We also bought a book.
What We Did
- Build
- PayPal integration
- WordPress.com
Some happy campers...We were extremely happy with Paul Mycroft's original website design for our small company. As we have grown over the past few years, our client base and focus has changed, and Paul's services have been invaluable in responding to those changes. We are now able to add website content on our own, which has made it faster and easier to update our clients on our services. Thanks for all your help Paul.
- Matt Wilbur Macon GroupMaintenance is a breeze as it took less than one hour for him to train us on all aspects which we will be touching most. We especially appreciate his turnkey approach and ongoing support… necessary for busy professionals! The end result was a website my entire team could be proud of! Thank you Paul!
- Amy Swart EverSourceYou SAVED my site… I am not technically savvy, in fact technology scares the jeepers out of me. When Paul and I discussed my website that had be "under construction" for nearly a year I got nervous and a little well… terrified for a lack of better words. With a few simple emails back and forth Paul designed a site that is functional, fun and best of all SIMPLE to use. In a one hour tutorial Paul walked me through the entire sites design and now I have a functional website that I can interact with, meaning that it's not just stagnant site, I can add photos and text with ease.
- Angela Schaede Little Town TotsHis ability to work with me on a prompt and courteous basis was a very refreshing experience being that I knew nothing about creating a site. His pricing was more than fair. A job well done, and I would highly recommend Paul Mycroft Design to anyone needing similar in the future. Thanks Paul.
- Russ Jackson Cabo San Lucas DestinationPaul Mycroft Design methodically worked with us to develop our julesandkent.com website. There were lots of hiccups and delays along the way. The delays were because we just didn't have time to gather and provide data in a timely manner. When there were hiccups, caused by the software purveyors – Paul worked hard to get the solutions we needed from WordPress and the shopping cart supplier. The site now works very well, and is extremely easy to update. Thank you!
- Allyson Nelson Jules + KentPaul Mycroft Design has provided us with tremendous value by designing and continually updating our website at www.lylecpa.com. We have worked with Paul for a number of years now and he is always responsive to our needs, which completely mirrors our concept of service to our own clients. Paul is thousands of miles and three time zones away, but that has no impact on our access to him. I have recommended Paul to others and of course will continue to do so. Paul's the best!
- Kathy Lyle Lyle & Associates

The wily Asus Padfone set for MWC release?
Many a gadget hunter has searched for the mythical beast known as the Asus Padfone, but new reports suggest it could officially arrive at Mobile World Congress next month.
From the Motorola Atrix phones to the Samsung Galaxy Note, convertible or hybrid mobile computing products are a new trend to watch. Asus also made waves with the Transformer Prime, a tablet that connects to an external keyboard letting it morph into a laptop.
Now another of the company's fabled gizmos, the Padfone, is likely to become reality at the MWC show in Barcelona, Spain. Android site Android Central reports that Asus sent out press event invites all but confirming a genuine and imminent Padfone launch.
What makes this device so interesting is that instead of using a laptop dock to change it into a netbook-style computer, users can place the Padfone in an accessory that gives the phone tablet capabilities.… Read more

Deirdre Shesgreen reports:
The Federal Election Commission has identified $64,000 in excessive contributions made to House Speaker John Boehner's personal re-election committee and ordered that they be returned, according to a letter the Federal Election Commission sent to the campaign this week.
"These contributions must be refunded immediately," the FEC wrote in the Sept. 9 letter.
The donations in question—made mostly in 2011—exceeded the legal limits that federal lawmakers are allowed to accept. Individuals can donate $2,500 for a primary and another $2,500 for the general election. Political Action Committees (PACs) can donate $5,000 per election, for a total of $10,000.
The donations were from a gamut of individuals and PACs, including the Dell Employees PAC and Caesars Entertainment PAC.
Campaign finance experts say it's fairly common for campaigns to receive such letters from the FEC pointing out possible violations and asking for action.
"I think it is common enough that people make excessive contributions," said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics.
But, she said, "I do think it maybe points to a lack of internal controls" inside Boehner's operation.
A spokesman for Boehner, Cory Fritz, said the campaign would respond to the FEC's request promptly.
"Large committees that process contributions from thousands of grassroots supporters each quarter routinely handle these questions," he said. "We take compliance with FEC rules and regulations seriously, and will take all corrective action necessary."
Boehner's campaign received a similar letter in March, pointing to excess contributions totaling about $70,000.

KStew Knows it's All Over
Posted at 10:27 PM on March 13, 2014
Kristen knows it's all over. You'll never see Rob with her again, he is over and done with her. And you know the proof that he dumped her last May? Her behavior.
It's interesting that for 10 months (between when she got caught with Rupert and when Rob drove off with the dogs in May), she handled the paps by ignoring them.
But as soon as the break up happened, she reverted to her true self and went back to bird flipping and screaming obscenities. That alone said to me that she knew the split was permanent. She gave up trying to be nice, she knew Rob was done.
She's still bird flipping and screaming obscenities, which means she knows he has no interest in getting back with her. She tries to be the nice girl when he's with her, and when he's done with her, she reverts to her real self.
OK HWL, where's the beef, in other words where is the proof. I see no pictures. It's been four days, still no pictures of all this. The only picture you show is of one with Kristen and Robert 3 years ago. Since you have no proof I think you need to print a retraction. Or at least that you have no proof.

LinkedIn: Recruiting Room to Run
Adam is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) is wreaking havoc on the recruitment market. Headhunters and recruiters are turning to the social network more and more every year, as it becomes an increasingly popular service for finding both passive and active job seekers.
98.2% of staffing professionals said they use some form of social media to find candidates in a recent survey by Bullhorn. That's up from 94% in 2011. Furthermore, 97.3% of respondents specified using LinkedIn.
With numbers like that, investors might think that the company has already saturated the market. Having averaged 100% growth in revenue over the last two years, it seems impossible for LinkedIn to continue growing at such a rapid pace. However, with 2012 revenues still slightly under $1 billion, I see plenty of room for LinkedIn to continue disrupting the market and growing revenues.
Understanding the size of LinkedIn's market
In 2011, Mark Mahaney of Citigroup estimated the online jobs recruitment market size at $3 billion. This implies that if you combined LinkedIn's 2011 "Talent Solutions" revenue of $261 million with Monster Worldwide's (NYSE: MWW) $894 million in revenues from career services, you'd encompass nearly 40% of the entire market.
In 2012, LinkedIn grew Talent Solutions to more than $523 million in sales, while Monster saw revenues fall to $814 million for its career services. Clearly, not all of LinkedIn's revenue growth is coming from Monster. I believe it's taking sales away from outside of the online jobs recruitment market. In fact, it seems the addressable market for LinkedIn is much bigger than Mahaney's 2011 estimate.
The worldwide recruitment market (traditional and online) continues to grow, as companies seek international talent, and more countries like India and China see an expanding middle class. Research from Koncept Analytics estimates that the worldwide recruitment market could reach $369 billion next year.
If 98% of recruiters are using online recruiting methods, how can they only make up 1% of the market's revenue? The numbers don't add up.
Research from Bersin & Associates found that among total talent acquisition spending by U.S. companies in 2011, professional networks made up 3%. What's more, Bersin & Associates expects that number to improve, as more companies realize that professional networks provide the best "bang for the buck." The 3% of spending on professional networks ultimately filled 10% of positions. Comparatively, traditional recruiting agencies made up 29% of total spending to fill just 8% of positions.
Combined, professional networks and job boards made up 17% of the $124 billion U.S. recruiting market in 2011. This implies an addressable market of $21 billion in the United States alone for LinkedIn.
As mentioned earlier, that number is growing, as LinkedIn and other web companies disrupt the market. As LinkedIn expands internationally, and countries like China and India see a growing middle class, spending in the rest of the world ought to follow a similar trend. That could create a rapidly growing, $50 billion-plus market for worldwide online recruitment spending.
In other words, there's plenty of runway left.
Why LinkedIn will continue growing
LinkedIn has surpassed critical mass. Now, with more than 200 million users, LinkedIn is the professional network. Established users and widespread use by companies, recruiters, and jobseekers have created a moat and an industry that's hard to break into.
LinkedIn began offering premium services to recruiters about eight years ago. In 2007, "Hiring Solutions" generated $7.5 million in revenue, which was 23% of the company's total. Last year, the company renamed the product "Talent Solutions," and it generated $523 million in sales – 54% of total revenues. The Talent Solutions service is by far the biggest driving force behind LinkedIn's revenue growth.
Talent Solutions is also a disruptive force for the traditional recruiting industry. It's less expensive than hiring a traditional recruiting firm; it's faster; and it's easily accessible to even the smallest companies. Additionally, it provides companies with better results than job boards such as Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com. As the online professional network, LinkedIn provides a service of incomparable value to companies.
LinkedIn has a strong growth plan that includes two very important points: international expansion and mobile access. The recruiter platform is already available in French, and LinkedIn plans to roll out German and Portuguese versions in the near future in order to serve the European and Brazilian markets better. This strategy capitalizes on the growing number of job seekers in Europe, as unemployment remains a problem in the region.
Additionally, "Jobs on Mobile," introduced six months ago, is already seeing traction. 20% of job views and 30% of job viewers came from mobile devices last quarter. As a result, 27% of unique visitors came through mobile apps compared to just 15% in the same period a year ago.
The biggest threats LinkedIn faces come in the form of Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and Monster. In fact, Monster has attempted to harness the giant Facebook user base through an app it calls BeKnown. The app allows Facebookers (my mom's term) to create their own professional network, keeping work and play separate.
However, with just 157,000 "likes," the app doesn't seem to be catching on. Furthermore, Monster's declining revenues have caused the company to post significant losses in the last two quarters, thanks to LinkedIn's disruption.
More recently, Facebook developed its own jobs app, dubbed "Social Jobs Partnership," that aggregates job postings from around the web. I do not believe this is much of a threat to LinkedIn, because it is, in essence, just another job board. Most job boards fail to address the problems companies have with recruiting. Specifically, companies don't receive very many quality applicants (according to the Bersin & Associates study). LinkedIn solves this problem by presenting top-tier candidates to companies, which can then pursue those candidates, instead of vice versa.
However, Facebook's newest tool, Graph Search, does present some useful features for recruiters. Though it's still in beta, it will allow recruiters to find "friends of friends" and grow their networks organically. Theoretically, recruiters (or anyone for that matter) will be able to search for "friends or friends of friends who graduated from University X with a degree in A, B, or C and are currently unemployed." That search would populate a list of pre-qualified candidates for a recruiter to explore based on his or her network.
Currently, though, most Facebookers are not too keen on mixing business with pleasure. Facebook is a social network filled with inside jokes, inappropriate pictures, and out of context wall posts. Perhaps a few tweaks from Facebook, or from the public's use of Facebook, will change that, as recruiters will undoubtedly use this free tool to the best of their abilities. However, it seems as though LinkedIn is relatively unthreatened by Graph Search for now.
It's not too late
While shares have run up to more than 3.5 times LinkedIn's IPO price, I don't believe it's too late to buy. Astronomical P/E ratios may scare off some investors, after its most recent stellar earnings report sent shares up another 20%. But I'm a firm believer in not selling a company as it makes new highs. I foresee plenty of room for LinkedIn to continue growing its revenues and profits, and to continue making higher highs.

Just about every high-tech company is promising a technology miracle that will "completely redefine the way we do business." While few firms can rightfully lay claim to that mantra, certain technological innovations will, in fact, radically change the way we work. One such breakthrough in the meeting industry is what's known as distance education.
Distance education, simply put, is the practice of delivering live or archived educational courses electronically, typically over the Internet. Tools are emerging that allow students to attend a class remotely, using their computer, an Internet connection and, in some cases, a teleconferencing service. Being developed by companies such as Placeware (www. placeware.com), Centra Software (www.centra.com), and my organization, Netpodium (www.netpodium.com), these tools allow students to interact in real time with an instructor and other students anywhere in the world. Students can use collaborative whiteboard tools or shared application programs. Instructors can remotely control students' browsers and walk them through example Web sites. Students can even take self-grading exams via the Internet.
And here's the key concept that makes these ideas so compelling: Distance education is, by its nature, hands-on. And hands-on education is the most effective form of teaching.
What Business Are You In? OK, so why should meeting planners care? I'll answer that question by relating a disagreement I had recently with a friend who is the executive director of a large international technology users group. Our debate centered on the nature of his association's core business. He claimed it to be the production of educational meetings. But I pointed out that he was actually in the business of providing educational content, not educational meetings. The meetings were simply a delivery vehicle.
Consider the example of Egghead Software, one of the largest retail software chains in the country. Egghead recently made a radical and courageous decision to close its entire network of nearly 200 physical stores in favor of selling software only through its Web site. Reincarnated as Egghead.com, the company understands that its real business is to deliver software cost-effectively, not to provide physical stores. The delivery mechanism is independent of the content. And the content represents the real value.
This is also true of the educational delivery business. Educational content represents the real value, and the physical meeting is only a delivery vehicle. And as in the software sales business, the cost of delivering educational content via the Internet is a fraction of the cost of delivering it through traditional meetings. It doesn't take a large leap of imagination to envision a completely virtual conference composed of perhaps several hundred distance education programs linked together by time and topic.
Content-Focused Future The corollary is that the job of the meeting planner may change significantly. In a virtual world physical logistics largely disappear. Logistical planning at that point will consist mostly of arranging proper times for educational events and in ensuring that the necessary technology is in place. In a distance education centered world, robust educational content planning will emerge as the most highly prized planning skill.
Face-to-face conferences will never disappear. People need to meet for a variety of reasons that can't easily be addressed in the virtual world. Nonetheless, any group producing technology meetings with a significant educational component should be considering the cost effectiveness, time effectiveness, and educational effectiveness of this kind of future.

Does the sodium nitrate in processed meat increase my risk of heart disease?
Sodium nitrate, a preservative that's used in some processed meats, such as bacon, jerky and luncheon meats, could increase your heart disease risk.
It's thought that sodium nitrate may damage your blood vessels, making your arteries more likely to harden and narrow, leading to heart disease. Nitrates may also affect the way your body uses sugar, making you more likely to develop diabetes.
And you already know that processed meats are high in sodium and saturated fat, which can disrupt a heart-healthy diet.
If you eat meat, it's best to limit processed meat and instead choose lean, fresh meat and poultry, and keep serving sizes small. For greater heart health, consider going one step further and increasing the amount of seafood in your diet.

Aug 30, 2012Despite the lack of co-op Fall of Cybertron is a huge improvement on its predecessor, offering plenty of entertainment for the non-fan and out-and-out geekgasms for the Transformers acolyte.
Aug 28, 2012Offers one of the best single player campaigns we've seen in years. Entertaining, different, intense, spectacular and with really memorable moments. It sticks to the original series, something fans will definitely love. It offers everything Transformers fans have always asked for. Its multiplayer modes won't be consider revolutionary, but it is a must-have, above all if you're a fan of the series.
Feb 6, 2013Transformers: Fall of Cybertron oozes quality, in every aspect, easily surpassing its predecessor (which was a mediocre game in any case) and is definitely counted among the best third person shooters of the year. [October 2012]
Sep 19, 2012The newest game about Transformers is a worthy successor to War for Cybertron. The same dynamic gameplay is now enriched with new elements, that make Fall of Cybertron an even more enjoyable game. It has a big, engrossing campaign, a beautiful Cybertron and a cool multiplayer mode (that you'll invest many hours in). High Moon Studios' game is something great not only for the fans of giant robots. If you want fast and playable action - you'll find it here.
Aug 27, 2012After the brand hit rock bottom last year with Dark of the Moon, Fall of Cybertron rises like phoenix from the ashes. The game provides a great campaign and an encouraging multiplayer mode. That's the way licensed games should be done!
Aug 27, 2012Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is the ultimate Transformers game fans were waiting for. It is not lacking issues, such as a mediocre texturing work and a somewhat lackluster multiplayer mode, but it is an excellent shooter as a whole.
Sep 23, 2012By its impressive setting, missions great variability and a perfect screenplay, dignity has been restored to the Transformers' game series. This is a great mound scrap iron performance that is going to make every Transformers fan happy.
Aug 28, 2012Quotation forthcoming.
Aug 24, 2012It's exactly what meets the eye - which is to say a good-hearted festival of a game about talking robots shooting and smashing each other, shouting itself raw-throated in joy at the toys it gets to play with, but no more than that.
Nov 4, 2012Breathtaking action is better to watch than to play – great visuals and thick atmosphere on one hand dull story, corridors and short lifespan on the other – we've expected a bit more. [Nov 2012]
Sep 7, 2012It may be in competition with its predecessor but the disappointing world of Transformers video games has a new top dog. Perhaps not the crowning achievement but a steady improvement that will hopefully continue with any future instalments.
Aug 27, 2012The thing that really annoys me about this port is the controls. It's absolutely ridiculous that we can't customize the keys at all beyond cycling through the preset options and inverting the mouse. Other than that, Activision has done a respectable, though not exceptional job here.
Aug 23, 2012Transformers: Fall of Cybertron offers some entertaining action, lots of explosions, and few surprises.

Great Hospital
-Ashlyn T. from Phoenix, AZ
Pet Name: GemmaDr. Ansems was so nice about explaining everything and making sure Gemma was well taken care of. The entire staff is so friendly and willing to help, it seems like these people genuinely care about the pets and people they help. I will be sad to switch hospitals when I move!
great place to bring your pet
-Wiola from Fountain Hills, AZI found a homeless cat outside my workplace. I brought her in for the examination and treatment of an infected wound on the her leg. I was positively surprise by how nice and caring the whole team is. The receptionist, the nurse and the doctor herself, were all extremely nice and caring. I spent there almost an hour as they were taking their time to examine the cat, giving me advises on the treatment and accommodating her at home. The doctor would answer every question with patience, and she made us feel welcomed. The place is clean and affordable.
-Cherlyne A. King from Tolleson, AZI was shocked at the level of dedication the vet and staff showed my dogs. They were treated like family and their return visit is highly anticipated by all. They made my puppy's first vet visit easy for me. Thank you.
Great Team
-Suzanne Osterburg from Goodyear, AZWe brought our rescue lab, Missy, here after adopting her from Nina Pulliam. They have been so generous with their time, care and love for her and her doting "mom". I wouldn't think of taking her anywhere else. She especially loves Amanda and Dr. Ansems!

"I hope site visitors come away with an appreciation of just how amazing people are," says John Gabrieli, the Grover M. Hermann Professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, who developed the course. "I hope the course makes you think about yourself and your friends in a different way than you ever did before."
Gabrieli, a renowned expert in the field of learning and memory and a principal investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, has used brain-imaging technology combined with behavioral testing to map abstract concepts such as memory, thought and emotion to specific regions of the brain. Gabrieli's research has significantly advanced our understanding of how learning and memory are organized in the mind. Some of his most recent research has provided insights into key aspects of autism, dyslexia and visual memory. Gabrieli has also received numerous awards for his teaching, including the Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching at Stanford University in 2001.
MIT's original version of 9.00 Introduction to Psychology from 2004 has received more than 650,000 visits. The new scholar version provides visitors to the OCW site with an even more robust learning experience.
OCW Scholar courses represent a new approach to OCW publication. MIT faculty, staff and students work closely with the OCW team to structure the course materials for independent learners. These courses offer more materials than typical OCW courses and include new custom-created content. The Introduction to Psychology course provides a complete learning experience for independent learners, including lecture videos, reading assignments from a free online textbook and detailed notes from another book, interactive quizzes for each session, discussion content to elaborate key concepts, online resources for further study, review questions and exams with solution keys.
The first five of a planned 15 OCW Scholar courses were launched by MIT OpenCourseWare in January 2011, and have collectively received more than 800,000 visits in less than a year. The initial OCW Scholar courses included Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Solid State Chemistry, Single Variable Calculus, and Multivariable Calculus.
Seven OCW Scholar courses were published in 2012. Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Principles of Microeconomics, and Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science were published earlier this year. Fundamentals of Biology, Introduction to Psychology, and Introduction to Computer Science and Programming were published this past month. OCW Scholar courses are published on the OCW site with the support of the Stanton Foundation.
