The Challenge: Track Your Spending
For the next month, here's your assignment: Record where every cent goes. Save receipts, credit card slips, canceled checks, and write everything else down on a pad of paper. Or you can go all-digital with a site like mint.com that tracks every credit and debit card purchase. Whatever your preference, here's the key: Let no donut go unrecorded. You'll be surprised at just how much those $4 Dunkin' runs add up. Often just seeing your spending pattern will point out ways to save.
The Challenge: Save in Your Sleep
Most of us think too much when we save. What do we mean? Big goals like your dream car, a vacation home by the lake, and your kids' college education are huge and uncertain. If you wait until you know the exact cost and when it'll strike, you'll never save anything.
So start today. Instead of thinking about how much you'll need to reach your goal, estimate the maximum amount you could possibly save each month, says Dan Ariely, Ph.D., author of Predictably Irrational and a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University.
Then set up automatic payments from your paycheck toward your goal. If you find you need more spending cash during the month, you can always adjust—but in the meantime, you're stashing dough toward the day Junior gets into Yale.
Why It Works: Automatic payments don't just make saving easier—they make spending less tempting. How? Money—spending it or even thinking about spending it—causes a dopamine rush in your brain. Then you're relying on your willpower to resist handing over your VISA. That's a battle you'll lose, says Chip Heath, Ph.D., a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University. "You can't advise people to 'spend less,'" he says. "You're creating a willpower struggle that will have to be fought on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis." So remove as many of those decisions as you can through automatic bill pay and savings withdrawals.
The Challenge: Transfer Your Savings to a Money-Making Account
Don't stow extra cash in your checking account—you're letting your money be lazy. "Having more than what's required to avoid minimum-balance fees is a waste, because it's not earning interest," says Dan Candura, a certified financial planner at Massachusetts-based PennyTree Advisers. Stash a month's worth of expenses in checking. Then put the rest of your emergency stash—experts now recommend a 6- to 9-month buffer—in a high-yield savings account. Compare rates at bankingmyway.com.
While You're At It: If you're always in the black at the end of each month, schedule a recurring automatic transfer to a mutual fund, Candura says.

The Challenge: Bulk Up Your Emergency Fund
In this volatile economy, you should save at least 6 months' worth of expenses in case you get laid off. To start, save much as you can once you've paid the bills, experts say. If you must insist on a number, start by putting 10 percent of your paycheck toward the emergency fund. Once you have 6 months' worth of income saved, tackle your debt. (You might hear debt first, savings later, but the safety net is important to have in case layoffs hit.) "Setting aside cash is as important as avoiding interest, so be aggressive about both," says Ray Harrison, the founder and CEO of Harrison Financial Group.
The Challenge: Balance Your Budget
Call it a "spending plan" or "financial strategy" if you can't stand the b-word. Point is, you need to know where your money's going if you want to save more of it. Use the five categories listed below, and within them list all the expenses you pay online from your checking account. (Put rent under housing, car payment under living expenses, etc.) Add a line for cash under living expenses.
Recommended budget allocations:
Housing 35%
Living expenses 40%
Emergency/insurance 2%
Pleasure/personal 15%
Savings 8%
Single with home
Housing 45%
Living expenses 25%
Emergency/insurance 6%
Pleasure/personal 14%
Savings 10%
Married with home
Housing 37%
Living expenses 25%
Emergency/insurance 8%
Pleasure/personal 20%
Savings 10%
Household with kids
Housing 37%
Living expenses 30%
Emergency/insurance 10%
Pleasure/personal 15%
Savings 8%
While You're At It: Stay humble. People who lack financial confidence often make the best money decisions. In one study, when people were told that budgeting was difficult, they estimated their expenses more accurately than people who were told it was simple.

Photoduino | The opensource camera controller based on Arduino. [via]
This is the eagerly awaited 3.0 version of Photoduino. Photoduino is an open source camera controller based on the Arduino platform which you can use to automatically take pictures with your DSLR camera.
It serves as technical support for shooting high speed photos but you can also use it as an intervalometer to make Timelapse videos or for animals and insects photography.
Photoduino is an electronic circuit that is placed on an Arduino board as a Shield taking all the inputs, outputs and power pins. It has all the necessary electronic components and connectors for connecting the camera, flashes and sensors. You can control the shutter and camera autofocus, and you can also trigger two flashes. It also has a sound sensor, a shock/impact sensor and a laser or infrared barrier that can be used to take pictures when you register an event on any of the sensors. The configuration is done entirely through a small LCD screen using only two buttons, so it works independently without the need for a computer (except for firmware updates).
This system currently supports a wide range of DSLR cameras with a remote shutter cable connector.
Both hardware and firmware are completely open (like the Arduino platform on which it is based) and it is released under an open license.

Secure your project with biometrics – this all-in-one optical fingerprint sensor will make adding fingerprint detection and verification super simple. These modules are typically used in safes – there's a high powered DSP chip that does the image rendering, calculation, feature-finding and searching. Connect to any microcontroller or system with TTL serial, and send packets of data to take photos, detect prints, hash and search. You can also enroll new fingers directly – up to 162 finger prints can be stored in the onboard FLASH memory. There's a red LED in the lens that lights up during a photo so you know its working.

We use an Arduino to program other ATmega without bootloader . This technique allows you to use all flash memory for code and make boards using new ATmega, cheaper than those with bootloader.
The qualities that have made the success of Arduino are undoubtedly the open-source software, many libraries, a good hardware and a virtually infinite Reference that explains each possible use of the platform.
But if we use Arduino for a specific use, we can integrate it into a specific circuit and program the micro in a way that performs a single firmware. We may so remove the bootloader and leave to the firmware the entire program memory.
The ATmega328 has 32 Kbytes of flash, that when the chip is mounted on Arduino are not all available, as a portion is reserved to the bootloader, the purpose of which is to communicate with the IDE Arduino to load programs (sketch) to be performed. The same bootloader, on each power on or reset of Arduino, verifies the presence of a sketch in flash memory and executes it. The bootloader occupies a space of 512 bytes, in the case of Arduino UNO.

Horto domi is an open hardware raised-bed garden unit with environmental control and monitoring via web-interface thanks to Arduino Ethernet. DIY sensors, such as those collecting moisture and temperature data help monitor the environment within the dome and will eventually be used to automate conditions. The goal is to grow whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you are. Horto domi is Latin for 'Garden at home.' It's a statement to healthful food independence, a "neo-renaissance" tip of the hat to Arduino, and it sounds like horticultural dome. Particular consideration was taken in this prototype's design to maximize the mineral and nutrient value of the beyond-organic produce and minimize environmental contamination risks.

Using GPS module is available not only acquire position, speed, bet also time and date, so in this post I'll explain how to do it.
GPS clock consist of old Sirf II GPS module, MAX 232, Arduino Mega and LCD display (Hitachi HD44780).
Sirf II module has RS-232 interface for communication and it can be connected to PC Com port. Atmega in Arduino board has UART interface. RS-232 basically is the same UART, only zeros and ones voltage levels are different. To match levels MAX232 driver is used. Today's GPS modules have UART port, so there isn't any need for MAX232.

This module size is only 11.2mm x 11mm. TEA 5767 supports I2C.
For antenna i have used just 75 cm long wire, because that is 1/4 of wavelength at 100 MHz. TEA5767 doesn't have audio amplifier, sound output level is very low, headphone can not be connected directly. During testing i had connected audio output to PC audio system.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- Dr. Kenneth Walker, president of Edison State College, has released the following statement, Friday afternoon, after this week's controversies:
"My understanding of yesterday's Faculty Senate meeting is that less than half of our faculty members voted on the resolution which, as of late afternoon Friday, I have yet to receive. It is concerning to me that the claims of this resolution are being played out in the media and not being addressed to me directly. It is unfortunate the recent turn of events have overshadowed the process that the faculty and I have worked on collaboratively for the past six months.
Back in April of this year, I announced a Six-Point-Plan designed to address the faculty's concerns and to begin the process of rebuilding a professional and positive relationship. Today, four of those six points have been either accomplished or are ongoing. By mutual agreement, between myself and the Faculty Senate, one of those points, to engage an objective, respected third party to review the management team and processes at the College and present an open and honest report, was to begin after the SACS visit next month. It is important to everyone that final preparations for the SACS visit take priority. The final point, to conduct an anonymous survey of faculty and staff, is being expanded to include students, and will also be done after the SACS visit. Since April, the Faculty Senate has participated in the regular monthly Board of Trustees meetings by following established and agreed upon policies and procedures. The Faculty Senate is on the agenda for this month's meeting. I welcome and look forward to having direct communications from the Faculty Senate with the hope that we can work toward a positive resolution for the good of Edison State College."

Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind Pt. 2 (Broken Down)
Artist: Alicia Keys
Producer: Kerry "Krucial" Brothers & Alicia Keys
Album: The Element of Freedom
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 45 votes )
When we featured Empire State of Mind back in September, Booth readers seemed to agree that, though Hova turned in a star performance on the mic, hookwoman Alicia Keys' guest vocals were the true, um key (I'm not even going to dignify that by calling it a pun) to the track's success. If that was your take, Empire State of Mind Pt. 2 (Broken Down), an all-Alicia reinterpretation of the hit single set to appear on the singer's fourth studio album, should be right up your alley. Over her and Kerry "Krucial" Brothers' pared-down, piano-led instrumental, Keys paints a vivid, warts-and-all portrait of her famed hometown: "Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God…" Needless to say, that killer chorus hits home as hard as ever – particularly when the drums kick in for the record's climax. How does Keys' take stack up against the original? As always, I'll let Booth readers have the final say. ESoM2 isn't slated for promotion as an official single, but it will be available for purchase from online retailers prior to the December 14 release of Keys' latest full-length, The Element of Freedom.

I looked at the stickers at the Cafepress store, but they all seem to be rather large. I was thinking it would be nice to have those small stickers that are about 1" square, which fits on those old cases that had a recessed area made for the decals, or would just be a nice size to put on your machine say even a laptop, perhaps a metallic reflective background..

Every year, groups of Shia men parade through the centre of Nabatiyeh, where Lebanon's major Ashura rituals take place. These rituals include the controversial bloodletting rite known as "tatbir". Although frowned upon by religious and political authorities, Shia communities still practice tatbir as a vital part of their communal act of mourning Imam Hussein, who was martyred at the pivotal Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.

"When I was a little girl, Nolan liked to say that this world has no natives, which means it belongs to everyone."Defiance (2013—) is set on 2046 Earth, badly damaged from a war with alien colonists called Votans and continued bombardment by the wreckage of their ships. The Votans are a loose alliance of seven species from multiple planets in the Votan solar system, whose sun has gone nova. The Pale Wars started when they arrived at Earth seeking shelter and were refused, and ended when soldiers on both sides gave up fighting out of disgust at the pointlessness of it, and set about rescuing the civilians caught in the cross-fire. The series takes place in a settlement named Defiance built on what used to be St. Louis. The town of Defiance is inhabited by both humans and Votans, in a tenuous state of coexistence. Planet Earth's environment has been drastically altered and filled with alien flora and fauna by the terraforming equipment that crashed when the Votan spaceships were mysteriously destroyed during the war.The TV series stars Grant Bowler as Chief Lawkeeper Joshua Nolan, Julie Benz as Mayor Amanda Rosewater, Tony Curran as Castithan community/underworld leader Datak Tarr, Jaime Murray as Stahma Tarr, Stephanie Leonidas as Deputy Lawkeeper Irisa Nyira, Mia Kirshner as town madam Kenya Rosewater, and Graham Greene as industrialist Rafe McCawley.The show has a rather novel approach in that it was developed alongside a Massively Multiplayer Online Game, also called Defiance. While the game is set in the San Francisco Bay area (at least currently) in California and the show is set in the remains of St. Louis, Missourinote , they can and do affect each other occasionally.After only four episodes, the show was renewed for a second season, which consists of 13 episodes.

Yield Sign where Vale becomes Plainview next to the giant Magnoila is constantly ignored. I have to dodge cars, school buses and trucks who charge down the hill from Plainview through the sign toward Vale. This happens all day every day. It needs to be a stop sign, or to have a flashing light attached.· Reported by GC (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged

I don't think the residents who live near this intersection would appreciate a flashing light coming though their windows at night. Given a choice they may prefer a stop sign. Also, there is a small hedge under the magnolia that obstructs the view for oncoming traffic. If this were to be removed there may be no need to change the signage.

I've referred this to our Public Works Department. When the staff has had a chance to respond I'll post an update. Thanks for reporting.

There's still no evidence of any crosswalks being placed in this area. There's almost a mile of 5-lane road, with an apartment complex on one side and a busy shopping center on the other (including the only grocery store for miles), but no crosswalks! I am disappointed that the City of Raleigh has not even seen fit to respond to this issue; are there any plans at all to put in at least one crosswalk that doesn't involve walking all the way to the Glascock/ Raleigh Blvd intersection?· Reported by suecrane2005 · Share · Flag Flagged

It says the trail will include a bridge wesst of New Bern Avenue and then run along the north side of the creek and under the beltline at the US-264 junction. Currently, there is no construciton that looks like a bridge and all the construction runs along the south side of the creek behind the Wakefield apartments.

Good old Mr Laurie from the bunker.... and just because its the Daily Mail, it doesn't mean its bullshit.
New ID cards are supposed to be 'unforgeable' - but it took our expert 12 minutes to clone one, and programme it with false data | Mail Online
Not that the police need any encouragement to get trigger happy:
"With a few more keystrokes on his computer, Laurie changes the cloned card so that whereas the original card holder was not entitled to benefits, the cloned chip now reads 'Entitled to benefits'....he adds a message that would be visible to any police officer or security official who scanned the card: 'I am a terrorist - shoot on sight.'"
The Home Office has dismissed the report. "This story is rubbish. We are satisfied the personal data on the chip cannot be changed or modified and there is no evidence this has happened," said a spokesperson.

BRAMPTON -- Rafal LaSota and Michelle Liard were engaged to be married.
But on Monday, Mr. LaSota was sentenced to life in prison after a Brampton jury convicted him of first-degree murder in the Dec. 10, 2008 stabbing death of former Port Perry resident Aleksandra Firgan-Hewie, 13. Jurors acquitted Ms. Liard, 22, who was also charged with murdering the girl.
For Mr. LaSota, 28, of Mississauga, the conviction means an automatic life sentence with no parole for a minimum 25 years.
Meanwhile, Ms. Liard, also of Mississauga, is a free woman.
"I feel very happy. Thank you very much," Ms. Liard said as she walked out of the courthouse.
Several people shouted profanities at her as she got into a vehicle.
Mr. LaSota and Ms. Liard had pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the stabbing death of the Green Glade Senior Public School student, who moved to Mississauga from Port Perry with her father in summer 2008. They lived in a basement apartment on the same street as Mr. LaSota.
The verdict against Mr. LaSota indicates jurors accepted the case presented by Crown prosecutors Brian McGuire and Jennifer Goulin, who contended during the five-week trial that he killed the teen in cold blood.
But the jury rejected the Crown's assertion that Ms. Liard was in on a plan to kill.
Mr. McGuire said Aleksandra, at five-foot-four and 100 pounds, "didn't stand a chance" against a man 10 inches taller and 70 pounds heavier when he attacked her with a knife inside the bedroom of his Bonnymede Drive home.
"It wasn't just one or two stabs, which she may have survived, but 37," Mr. McGuire said in his closing address. "Aleks was as good as dead as soon as she walked into that room."
Emotions ran high during the trial, with gruesome autopsy photos of the teen's stabbed and slashed body being shown to jurors and a tearful Teresa LaSota, the killer's mother, breaking down repeatedly on the stand when testifying about how her son tearfully confessed to her that he "killed a girl."
The jury heard the girl sustained 60 injuries, 37 of which were knife wounds, while the others were considered blunt force.
The motive for the brutal killing may never be known, Mr. McGuire said. But it was suggested by the Crown it may have been a revenge killing. Court heard Aleksandra was friends with a man who may have been behind a knife attack on Mr. LaSota three days earlier, and was also suspected of breaking into his home earlier.
Ms. Liard called Aleksandra so the three of them could meet at the LaSota home to discuss threats being made against them by the man, court heard.
Jurors were also told the teen's death was a "thrill kill."
Ms. Liard washed Mr. LaSota's bloodied clothes afterwards and the teen's body was stuffed inside a garbage bag and left by the shed in the backyard.
Ms. Liard's lawyer Daniel Brodsky argued his client was "an innocent woman caught up in horrible circumstances."
Jurors heard Ms. Liard wasn't in the room when the young girl was killed.
Mr. LaSota's lawyer, Gary Grill, argued his client was drunk and high on marijuana and couldn't form the intent to commit murder. Mr. LaSota, who did not testify, admitted he killed Aleksandra in his bedroom. His earlier attempt to plead guilty to manslaughter was rejected by the Crown.

Ubisoft removes Assassin's Creed Unity Season Pass from the marketplace
by Alessandro Fillari
Earlier this morning, several users on NeoGAF noticed that Steam, PlayStation Network, and other online stores had removed all pages for the Assassin's Creed Unity Season Pass, with German games site GamersGlobal claiming that Ubisoft plans to redo its entire post-launch plans for the troubled game. But now, the company has announced it is in fact discontinuing sales of the Season Pass and hopes to remedy the situation.
In a post on the official Unity blog, Ubisoft Montreal & Toronto CEO Yannis Mallat discussed the state of things and how the company plans to regain consumer trust. In addition to the ceased sales of the Season Pass, holders can expect to receive free content.
"To show our appreciation for your continued support, we're making the upcoming Assassin's Creed Unity Dead Kings DLC free for everyone," he said. "For Season Pass holders, we will also offer the choice of one additional game from a selection of Ubisoft titles for free." Those are: The Crew, Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Rayman Legends, and Just Dance 2015.view full story + comments

Posted June 23, 2013 on AP on Fox
Adrian Gonzalez and Hanley Ramirez hit back-to-back home runs in the ninth inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Gonzalez broke a 1-all tie with a drive to right field off closer Huston Street, and Ramirez hit the next pitch to right-center to help Los Angeles split the four-game series. It was the second home run in two days for both players. Street (0-4) has given up 10 home runs in 26 1-3 innings this season. Last year, he allowed two in 39 innings. Brandon League (3-3) got the last out in the eighth and Kenley Jansen earned his fourth save. Ramirez kept up his torrid hitting of late. He is 11 for 22 with six runs, seven RBIs and two homers in his last six games. The game was a pitchers' duel until the ninth. Padres starter Andrew Cashner allowed one run in eight innings. He generated 18 outs on the ground with efficiency uncharacteristic of a strikeout pitcher. He fanned only two, but was rarely challenged by the Dodg...

http://www.itwire.com – Security vendor Sophos is beefing up its portfolio with the acquisition of Astaro. (IT news)
Security vendor Sophos took the wraps off its newly revamped channel program, adding financial incentives, training, certifications, two separate tracks and an upgraded partner portal, in effect, mixing new ingredients with what it called the "best elements" of past offerings. According to Sophos, in crafting the new program it specifically retained components of the channel program of Astaro, the
Astaro, the German company behind the suite of Linux-based network and host-based security applications and devices, has been acquired by Sophos, a UK-based provider of enterprise network and endpoint security solutions. An email to that effect was sent to Astaro's users and partners today. Excerpts from the email reads: Dear Astaro Customers and Users, In [...]
I'm trying to connect an Astaro Sophos ASG220 appliance v8 with a SonicWALL TZ 215
For some reason that escapes me the tunnel, named "Dev-VPN", fails to establish.
Perhaps someone here can make sense of the log:
21:43:05 Sophos: "S_Dev-VPN" #1291: starting keying attempt 70 of an unlimited number 21:43:05 Sophos: "S_Dev-VPN" #1296: initiating Quick Mode PSK+ENCRYPT+TUNNEL+PFS+UP to replace #129
I just installed Sophos UTM 9 tonight, and so far I'm impressed. I'm used to Untangle and the way it creates firewall rules, which are mostly bound to the interface.
Gravity is losing its grip on technology, it seems, as vendors flock to provide cloud-based versions of their offerings. Security vendor Sophos is the latest, announcing a cloud-managed security service that provides protection to the endpoint.

I've been running Untangle on the same box for probably over 5 years now. It looks like Untangle isn't going to update itself to version 10, so I might have to do it myself. It's a good excuse to put in faster NICs that I don't really need, anyway.
I've read bits and pieces of Sophos (Astaro) UTM, and some people say its a better system than Untangle as far as networking and reporting.
Security vendor Sophos is having itself quite a year, if you count a 15 percent increase in the company's partner base, a new MSP program and two new channel chiefs. And, along the way, the vendor has picked up industry recognition and a number of awards for its channel efforts.

Security vendor Fortinet (FTNT) has sued smaller rival Sophos, claiming it has been victimized by executive poaching in violation of an existing agreement tied to a key departure from the vendor's management ranks earlier this year.

Security software vendor Sophos has released its latest statistics on spam relaying, and Asia has seized the top spot from Europe. Not that it's anything to be proud of.
