DIY L298N shield
May 18, 2013
Hi guy !
I've recetly build a L298N shield for my arduino based this shematics .
The only modification that i made is : - my diodes are 1N5821
- I've not put some pull up resistance on enablepin
- I use 5V from my arduino and 4,8V batterie for my motors
And when i plud the shield on my arduino and import the code ( see below) the software say:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
So i try to import the code without put the shield on the arduino and it import correctly but when i plug the shield nothing hapen,the motor dont move.
Someone have an idea ?
sorry for spelling (french )
here is the code :
int ENA=5; //Connecté à Arduino pin 5(sortie pwm)
int IN1=2; //Connecté à Arduino pin 2
int IN2=3; //Connecté à Arduino pin 3
int ENB=6; //Connecté à Arduino pin 6(Sortie pwm)
int IN3=4; //Connecté à Arduino pin 4
int IN4=7; //Connecté à Arduino pin 7
void setup() {
pinMode(ENA,OUTPUT);//Configurer les broches comme sortie
digitalWrite(ENA,LOW);// Moteur A - Ne pas tourner (désactivation moteur)
digitalWrite(ENB,LOW);// Moteur B - Ne pas tourner (désactivation moteur)
// Direction du Moteur A
// Direction du Moteur B
// NB: en sens inverse du moteur A
void loop() {
// Moteur A - Plein régime
// Moteur B - Mi-régime
the capacitors are essential. In addition to the 100nF caps Duane mentioned, you also need a large cap, at least 100 uF but I would recommend about 470 uF or even 1000 uF, to provide large pulses of current. You need all of them, close to the chip, no matter what power supply configuration you use.
Which supply voltage(s) needs the large cap?
Does the large cap go on the motor supply line only or does the 5V logic supply also need a large cap?
I'm guessing just the motor supply line needs it.
Motor supply
correct. But it wouldn't hurt on the 5V but shouldn't be necessary
Both power supplies should
Both power supplies should have a 0.1uF capacitor. Sometimes a circuit will work without a bypass capacitor sometime they don't. Sometimes not having a bypass capacitor will ruin a chip (though not often). Use ceramic capacitors for this. 0.1uF are really cheap if you buy 100 or so at a time.
The datasheet says these capacitors should be connected as close as possible to the L298's ground pin.
I think using the Arduino's 5V for the logic supply (pin 9) should be fine.
So 5V from Arduino is connected to pin 9 of L298, ground of Arduino is connected to pin 8 of L298. The "+" wire of your 9.6V pack is connected to pin 4 of the L298 and the "-" of your 9.6V pack gets connected to pin 8 of L298. The negative wire "-" of the battery pack is often referred to as the ground. So when they say you need a common ground on a circuit if means the ground wires of both power suppllies are connected at some point. I've been told it best to have these two grounds connected in only one location.
I noticed in the datasheet that the enable pins are supposed to be low when the power is connected or disconnected on the L298. This makes me think a 10K resistor connected to both enable and ground would be a good idea.
Do you have a copy of the L298N datasheet? SparkFun has a copy if you need it.
The odd numbered pins are the ones that stick out in front of the chip. As I mentioned previously, the datasheet uses "Vss" to indicate the logic power supply (5V). "Vss" often refers to ground but not in this case. Watch out for this strange notation.
The capacitors are mentioned on page 7 of the datasheet (and a couple other places).
Possibly a capacitor is connected wrong and causing the circuit to quit when it charges up completely.
I would check all the capacitors, especially the large ones, and make sure they are wired correctly.
This is strange. It sounds
This is strange. It sounds like either the L298N chip or the voltage regulator is getting too hot and shutting down.
A picture of your set up may help someone identify the problem.
I don't think you need the pull-up resisitors. In fact, I'd be inclined to use pull-down resistors (10K) to make sure the motor doesn't turn on when you don't want it to.
I don't know enough about diodes to help much. I've just read they should be fast acting and I see schottky diodes often recommended.
Here's an inexpensive L298N PCB with all the additonal components already added. These are the kind I've used in my robots.

If you think that men don't ever turn down the chance to get laid — think again! There are a few situations that will cause them to abandon ship faster than Mr. Smee — even if they've already shelled out the cash for dinner and a movie.
Read on to find out what these 9 guys had to say about the worst times they've been deterred from sex.
1. Don't Go All The Way Down...
"When I was in college I went back to this girl's place I had met day drinking. Everything was going swimmingly for a one night stand, and at some point she starts going down on me, so naturally I was like, winning. But she kept going down, and started sucking on my toes. I kid you not, this was after I had been wearing flip flops all day, and had taken them off multiple times to increase my drinking game ability, which she had to have known because we were together a while before we went back to her place ... dealbreaker." — Khad, 25
2. Refrain From Ordering The Most Disgusting Thing On The Menu
"I met a drop dead gorgeous local woman when I was in Bangkok on leave. I invited her to dinner and a movie, and was having a lovely time. The movie house we went to sold baluts (a duck embryo, boiled alive, eaten out of it's shell) as a common snack food. She ordered and ate two. I was so grossed out that I couldn't even kiss her goodnight. The smell was awful!" — Robert, 59
3. Keep Your Sex Videos To Yourself
"I recently crossed paths with my high school sweetheart from over 20 years ago. We were both recently divorced so the timing was really good. We agreed to meet for dinner one night, during which time she told me about her webcam business. She showed me some photos and videos on her phone from her private collection. The photos and videos were of her with 30+ guys at a time. Her making the judgment call to show me the videos, combined with the loud echoing audio from the videos at the five star restaurant we were at, and her "performing" with the 30+ guys was too much of a turn-off. We still talk online but from time to time, but that really ruined it for me." — Randy, 45
4. Shave Often
"I was finally getting it on with this leggy blonde girl, and I had just slid my hand into her panties, only to feel like I was running my hand through a courser version of Michael Jackson's Motown era afro. My entire body cringed at the sensation. Not even Edward Scissorhands would take on that bush. Shave that! Total dealbreaker!" — Pat, 33
...especially if you have hair in weird places.
"In college, a few years back, I met a really attractive girl at a house party. We exchanged numbers and hung out a few days later. On our second date we went back to her place and things start getting heavy. As we're hooking up and I'm kissing her chest, I feel a single long curly nipple hair in my mouth! I didn't want to embarrass her, so I just pretended like I was tired and wanted to go to sleep. I woke up extra early to run out of there but she saw me and offered to make me breakfast. I wasn't able to make eye contact with her the entire time we ate, and I never saw her again." — Mike, 27
5. There Is Such A Thing As Too Many Sex Toys
"I was (very briefly) living with a woman (Teri, not her real name) who liked both boys and girls. On a few occasions, she invited another woman into our bed. On one of those occasions, the third party was our next-door neighbor (Lynn— not her real name). Before things got under way, Teri said, "But wait — let me get my 'nasty bag!'" She hopped off the bed, ran to the closet, and pulled out a brown paper bag, the contents of which she then emptied onto the bed. In addition to all sorts of porn magazines and videos, there were large plastic devices of all shapes, some of them recognizable to me, none of them all that appealing. More to the point, I began to worry that she (and our new friend) would try to use these devices ... on me (some of which looked like they could do serious internal damage). So I took a pass and left them to their own fun, while I went back into the living room to watch Monday Night Football. I mean, I wasn't one to turn down any opportunity for a little girl-boy-girl frolic — but this looked friggin' dangerous." — James, 56
6. Be A Lady — Hold Your Liquor
"I was hooking up with this girl who was notorious for getting too drunk at parties. She ended up throwing up all over my bed, room, and walls. She must have eaten spinach that night, because it was all over her hair, and she was STILL trying to hook up with me. I managed to call her sister and have her come pick her up. — George, 25
7. Keep Your Favorite Breakup Song To Yourself
"I met a woman for drinks. She was about 10 years older than me, and divorced. We talked about music, and when a song (about the end of a relationship) came up in conversation she insisted on playing it from her phone, which was weird in the bar. She played it again, then suggested we go back to her place to watch the music video. I obliged. She put the video on her TV and suggested we dance. I was not interested in dancing but agreed anyway. We slow-danced romantically and eventually things heated up. We kissed and danced until we wound up shirtless on her bed, at which point she suggested we listen to the song again and dance to it ... again. I protested, but she ignored me and replayed the video. When it ended, she put the same song on again, on her speakers, and asked me to dance, again. I decided she was batty and I needed to flee, so I made an excuse and put my shirt back on. She kept dancing, and in an effort to be seductive she started to expose the top of her butt to me as I went for the door. I didn't think a college student could be deterred from sex but hey, what did I know?"— Kevin, 24
8. Don't Bring Up My Ex
"I had recently come out of a long and serious relationship with my ex ... we'll call her Jennifer. I was heartbroken and pretty much everyone within my social circle knew it. Some months went by and I ran into a girl I knew at a party. We knew each other by name and a few basic facts but we weren't close. That particular evening it seemed like a good idea for us to get closer. So we made our way to a bedroom and as clothes started coming off she whispers in my ear "I'm sorry I'm not 'Jennifer.'" If you've ever taken a cold shower, this was kind of similar. I don't remember if I said anything or if she said anything else. All I do know is that that was the end of that." — Steve, 23

General Anesthesia
Post Operative Recovery And Complications
Minor and temporary side effects may be experienced in some cases. This will again depend upon the surgery performed and the overall health status of the individual.
A feeling of drowsiness is not uncommon following anaesthetic administration. It soon wears off quickly following the surgery.
Pain and discomfort:
A mild discomfort is usually felt in some cases. This can be effectively managed by medications used for pain relief.
Nausea and Vomiting:
As a result of modern anaesthetic drugs, nausea and vomiting after an operation is less common than it used to be. But there is answer to all these less common complications with improved patient care.
Complications are more likely to occur after a long Anesthesia for a major case.
Chest Infection
This is more likely if there is a long procedure of chest or abdomen. Early mobilisation and chest physiotherapy can help in overcoming the problems.
In some units the chest physio exercises are practiced before a major surgery so that the patient is familiar with them.
Deep Vein Thrombosis:
This is another complication that can occur due to the stasis of blood in the lower limbs and the blood clotting in the veins. To prevent this early mobilisation is advised. Even when in the bed the patient should move their toes and limbs to improve the circulation.

This is the Eva Green I know and love. That's the dark, mysterious, enchantress with the bewitching eyes. None of that blond shit. Eva's making the rounds in the fashion mags in anticipation for hew new movie DARK SHADOWS, but I just recently caught her movie WOMB on Netflix. That's some messed up shit. If you haven't seen it, it's basically the story of a lifelong romance between Eva and Dr. Who (the guy who plays him, anyway) that goes wrong when the guy dies in a car crash. Only it's the future or something, so Eva's character decides to impregnate herself with her dead boyfriend's clone. She then raises him into manhood and...some shit happens. Yeah, kind of a freaky movie. Eva seems to specialize in those. She's not really interested in your mainstream stuff. I guess I like that about her, but it does take her to some weird places.

"Excellent quality tiles, very easy to lay. We ordered 16 packs and took 2 back, as didn't need them. Even with such a big order we had no broken tiles!! Used a beige grout which complemented the tile colour really well."
"Got these tiles for my kitchen. They laid well, look and feel great. Matt finish which is what I wanted - don't want too much gloss in the kitchen, or to be too slippery. Used a beige grout, which is sort of cream colour and goes really well. Just what I wanted. Also because they are quite large tiles, able to use the off cuts twice - i.e. two edging pieces cut from one tile, so very little waste. Have probably over ordered due to this, but plan to tile the conservatory with the left overs & buy more if needed."
"These are excellent value for money tiles I have used them extensively throughout my bungalow and they look really good. Please consider that the tiles are large and you need the right tools to cut them. I used the Wickes rapid set floor tile adhesive and a beige grout and am very pleased with the result. Going to purchase some more."
"very good quality tiles, consistent colour, and easy to lay . Large size tile cutter required,"

International Edition
If you're frying up some eggs and bacon – lucky you! Some folks in the path of Hurricane Sandy weren't so fortunate. CNN's Impact Your World has a great list of ways to get resources to people who need it. Meanwhile, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Speak of the devil, November 2 is National Deviled Egg Day!
If you're in the South, you'd be hard-pressed to attend any celebration and NOT see a tray of deviled eggs being passed around. Despite being considered as Southern as biscuits and gravy, deviled eggs are actually European - Ancient Roman to be exact. To this day, variations of this egg dish are eaten across the continent in places like Sweden and Hungary. The term "deviled" refers to the spices used in the preparation of the egg. To make deviled eggs, start with hard-boiled eggs, sliced lengthwise. The yolks are then scooped out, mashed with other ingredients like mustard, mayonnaise and spices before being spooned (or piped) back into the egg shells.
Nowadays, deviled eggs are often found on the menus of fancier establishments with additions like lobster or pork belly.
I like to mince radishes into mine.
Gross. Mayonnaise is disgusting.
I think salad dressing (miracle whip) is even more disgusting. Is there a substitute for mayo/salad dressing?
Mayo is the Devil's condiment.
I lived in Muenster, Germany for two years. It was one of the last cities to hold out against the Nazi regime. In spite, the men "drafted" were sent to the Russian front. There is great animosity between the Muensterlaender and the Russians. In German, the eggs are called "Russische Eier" (Russian eggs). When I explained to my friends that they are called "deviled eggs" in English, they laughed themselves silly for a half hour. History, language and food can be extremely entertaining (no pun intended).

Reviva Essential Fatty Acid Cream
Reviva Labs announces a skin care first; a cream to fight or help prevent thin, delicate skin! It features a blend of 10 different Omega-3 & Omega-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) from plants. We discovered that EFAs are a major factor in the fullness, bounce and thickness we see in youthful skin.
Over the years, loss of EFAs affects cell membrane structure, resulting in skin becoming dry, hard, thin and more easily bruised. Reviva has united 10 different oils (sunflower, flaxseed, borage, rosehip, hemp, avocado, wheat germ, black currant seed, olive and sesame seed) that work side by side - each utilizing the presence of the other to fully live up to their potential. All in a light cream for easy absorption - instead of a rich, heavy cream.
Reviva's EFAs Cream can benefit those who already have thin skin, but can also be used to prevent skin from becoming thin. EFA's cream helps various levels of dry skin and provides a fuller, smoother, younger look on both face and hands.
EFAs Cream
Purified Water, Aloe Vera Gel, Veg. Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Sunflower Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Borage Oil, Rosehip Oil, Hemp Oil, Avocado Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Black Currant Seed Oil, Oiive Oil, Sesame See Oil, Polysorbate 60, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Laurate, Panthenol, Pomegranate Oil, Mixed Tocopherols, Olive Squalane, Soy Liposome, Green Tea Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, Allantoin, Coca Butter, Phenoxyethanol And Ethy Hexyl Glycerin And Benzyl Alcohol (preservatives).

New York:
HANBeauty editor,
The CutIn New York, most people spend their days at the office and forget to shield their skin, despite UVA (the aging sun rays) penetrating both glass and cloud. Free-radical protection mitigates this – I use antioxidant-packed Daily Serum by Joanna Vargas, one of New York's best facialists, followed by her Daily Hydrating Cream. I always wear a hat outside and use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen SPF50+ or Shiseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion SPF38, which absorbs without leaving a white residue.
MATTHEWSFashion and beauty director, Harper's Bazaar Arabia
I'm a high-factor girl. With the wealth of evidence that lands on my desk, I can't justify spending
time in the sun, especially in Dubai where August temperatures can soar as high as 41°C. Chanel's UV Essentiel Complete Sunscreen SPF50 can be applied under or over makeup and I've recently been introduced to Crème de la Mer's new Reparative Body Sun Lotion SPF30 – its extra moisture diminishes the drying effects of desert air. Sun exposure causes skin inflammation and exacerbates aging, so I use Radical Skincare Peptide Infused Antioxidant Serum against free radicals.
STRENNER,Beauty director,
The EditAs un-beauty editor as it sounds, I feel best with a healthy glow, albeit fake. During the summer months I usually work up a base tan with James Read Gradual Tan and opt for a good sunscreen like Hampton Sun SPF30 Continuous Mist Sunscreen. I'm half Japanese and prone to pigmentation, so I've been trialing Lancôme DreamTone
Ultimate Dark Spot Corrector, out in September, which has a visible brightening effect. I layer it beneath Sisley All Day All Year, which has time-release technology for UV protection throughout the day. If I'm not getting enough sun and thus not enough Vitamin D, I supplement with BetterYou's DLux 3000 Spray, a liquid that is more readily absorbed than tablets.
ZUBTSOVABeauty director,
Allure Russia'Hot' in Moscow is a mere 19°C, so I'm not too fanatical about protection. In May, I start taking Oenobiol Solaire Supplements, a combination of tomato lycopene and natural carotenes, which boosts skin's natural UVA and UVB defenses. On vacation I switch to Lancaster's sun protection range, but I also swear by no-frills Bepanthen and Panthenol creams – available in most pharmacies, they are deeply moisturizing and make great after-suns.

What is the reason to go w/ stainless steel valves over brass?
All brass fitting sold in Cali are 'lead-free' so in my opinion there is no difference here, except you probably won't find any 3 piece valves in brass.

Hi there.
The Jacket shown shows GREEN CUFFS
But I have heard that some purchases have come out differently with black cuffs and the colour of the black seems very shiny.
Is the picture a true representation of the item being sold?
thats whats up
Very functional jacket and looks great. Its mostly just a shell which i like because you can layer according to the weather. Its durabilty is the best i've seen without feeling to ridged and encumbersome. Just enough pockets and the snow skirt works perfectly. 5 stars hands down!
simple and weather proof
Don't expect the color scheme you see in the picture. First, the inside of the hood is the hideous green floral print you can see if you look at the 2.5L idiom jacket. Also, the cuffs don't have the green accents shown in the pic. Besides that, the jacket has its superiority. Definitely an indestructible shell. Fabric has a very nice feel and is flexible. Just enough pockets, not too bulky. Fit is short and the powder skirt is even shorter (almost to the point of being pointless as it doesn't reach below the bellybutton). Lastly, the hood and collar are a little stiff which makes it a bit ill-fitting around the neck when the hood is down.
i disagree with the comment about the powder skirt. there's nothing wrong with it in my opinion.
Do these jackets run small? I am usually a Medium (5'7" 160) but was wondering if the Large would fit nicely.
Any suggestions?

Specifications, Pricing, and Availability
OCZ's new Vertex 460 replaces the 450 model we reviewed back in May. The capacity sizes are the same: 120GB, 240GB, and 480GB. OCZ used the same M10 version of the Barefoot 3, but the flash is now from Toshiba, a move we applaud. Toshiba's 19nm MLC flash uses 64Gb dies and is considerably faster than IMFT's 20nm with 128Gb dies in lower capacity SSDs. OCZ claims sequential read performance for the 120GB model at 530 MB/s. The sequential write performance is 420 MB/s, and 4K IOPS comes to 80K read and 90K write.
OCZ put together a nice slide showing the feature list for the Vertex 460. Some of this we'll cover in the next slide. OCZ again used the alloy case for Vertex 460, so the drive has a 7mm z-height. Internally, the drive has 256-bit AES encryption but does lack eDrive and TCG Opal support.
Here we see the current OCZ 2.5-inch product line up. The Vector 150 recently replaced the original Vector, uses the Barefoot 3 M00 controller, and pairs it with Toshiba 19nm Toggle MLC rated for 50GB per day of data writes to the flash. Vertex 450 and Vertex 460 both use the slower clocked Barefoot 3 M10 controller. The difference between these two drives is the new 460 uses parent company Toshiba's 19nm MLC and the 450 used IMFT 20nm flash. The new 460 model has higher performance specs sprinkled here and there.
The Vertex 460 is very close to the Vector 150 performance wise, but the warranty drops to three years for the 460, and the endurance rating is only 20GB per day.
OCZ checked all of the right boxes for performance, and now we get to look at the price. OCZ's MSRP of $99.99 is the current price at Newegg for the 120GB model. That price is $10 more than Samsung's 840 EVO bare drive price but $24.99 less than the EVO 120GB with a desktop accessory package. OCZ includes a key for Acronis, so you can copy the data from your existing drive to the Vertex 460, a desktop adapter bracket, screws for mounting the drive, and a sticker for your PC.
PRICING: You can find the 120GB Vertex 460 for sale below. The prices listed are valid at the time of writing, but can change at any time. Click the link to see the very latest pricing for the best deal.
United States: The 120GB Vertex 460 retails for $99.99 at Amazon.

I have a tall 25 gallon tank the has been empty for the past 3 years. I was wanting ti add some fish and maybe a newt or 2 or maybe some frogs (I'm not really sure yet). I was also going to try to put in a waterfall with a little stream that went into the water part of it. I don't have to money to buy a kit that basicly does the same thing as I'm talking about. I am gonna try to make one myself. I have a pretty good idea of how to do it and I can picture it in my mind. What I really need to know is what kind of soil mixture should I use and how would I go about cleaning it once everything is in it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Robin! First & foremost, I'd suggest you read through the FAQ and through the posts on this forum. There's a LOT of info just waiting for the reading! Perhaps do some searches including key phrases like "waterfall" or "water feature" or other fitting terms [you may find some useful ones as you read through the FAQ] : ) |
Thanks a lot Paul I will do that. Robin_28 |

4 Henrico teachers win REB Awards
Four Henrico teachers were among the 16 teachers from the Richmond region who earned R.E.B. Awards for Teaching Excellence earlier this week.
The awards, celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, were inspired by the vision of Rudy and Esther Bunzl in 1988 as a way to strengthen public education through the region by recognizing and providing research grants to skilled, passionate teachers in the region. The Henrico winners were: Carolyn Margaret Alley of Holman Middle School, who earned a $9,000 grant to explore Cape Cod and bring back stories of the sea and history of the region as it relates to the sixth-grade social studies, science and reading curriculum; Elizabeth Ann Gaglio of Chamberlayne Elementary School, who earned a $9,300 grant to explore Hawaii's aquatic ecosystems and how they relate to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, as well as take a course on smartphone application development to create technology rich classroom activities; Selene Paulette Marsh of J. R. Tucker High School, who earned a $5,000 grant to attend The Helen Keller School in Alabama and the Literacy Institute at UNC and to take classes in Braille and sign language to better serve students with deaf-blindness and other complex disabilities; and Robert Patrick Meister of J. R. Tucker High School, who earned a $10,000 grant to visit Great Britain to attend the only AP Literature conference held in Europe and to the British Isles to explore historical sites. Since the program's inception, the R.E.B Foundation has partnered with The Community Foundation to award more than $2.7 million to honor 647 classroom teachers and support 364 professional development grants. |

Manchester City youngster Luca Scapuzzi has set his sights on winning a call-up to the Italian national team.
The striker made his City debut against Birmingham in this season's Carling Cup and then started and caused Dorus de Vries' own goal as Roberto Mancini's men reached the quarter-finals by thrashing Wolves on Wednesday.
Scapuzzi, an AC Milan Academy graduate, moved to England in August and is enjoying life at the Etihad Stadium.
And he has now set his sights on eventually forcing his way into international football with Italy.
The 20-year-old is quoted as saying by tuttomercatoweb when asked about representing his country at senior level: "I think about it.
"I have worn some Azzurri when I was younger. The goal remains."

Next door neighbors Alaina Terzick and Blake Morris both happened to be outside cooking on their grills when they met in 2010.
"I went to turn inside and said 'Hey, neighbor.' We struck up conversation every now and again when we'd see each other," she said. "About 3 months after we met, he left a note on my car asking me out."
Blake, a Glenview native, and Alaina, of Shorewood, knew they wanted to be married outside. The Hyatt Lodge at McDonald's Campus in Oak Brook gave them a scenic backdrop and comfortable seating for their 160 guests.

Too Faced does it again! Seriously, the photo put up does not do this eyeshadow justice. It's a gorgeous mix of deep blue, violet, and reddish brown. The glitter isn't too much, and there's little fall out. Soft, smooth, and long-lasting, I can only hope this is going to stay on their permanent roster.
I recently bought this product a week or two ago and I've been using it almost everyday. This duo-tone eye shadow is just absolutely stunning. In the light it simmers green (even though their website says it's blue) while in shadow it is a soft dark brown. The eye shadow is highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. If you want more of the green shimmer then all you have to do is pack just a little more onto your eye until you're satisfied with it. (Which in all honestly doesn't take very much.) I find that this eye shadow is even stunning on just by itself without any eyeliner or mascara. $18 seems like a bit much for such a small sized eye shadow, but I decided that it was worth it.

Potential tablet buyers are opting instead for alternative devices, and existing owners are hanging onto their tablets longer, according to research firm Gartner.
The market researcher says this poses a serious problem for businesses, where bring-your-own-device options are commonplace.
Although the popularity of 3D printing is growing in certain niches, mainstream consumer adoption is five to 10 years away, says research firm Gartner.
Chromebooks are the new netbook, but look to have a longer shelf life. Samsung has an overwhelming share of the market at 65 percent, with Acer at 21 percent.
Worldside shipments of PCs will still drop in 2014 but not as badly as they did last year. And ultramobiles will provide a bit of a boost.
Shipments of PCs, tablets, and mobile phones combined will climb by 7 percent in 2014, predicts Gartner, though PCs will be on the losing end of the deal.
Apple lost the lion's share of the global tablet market in 2013, though the iPad remained the top seller, says Gartner.
Boosted by hot iPhone sales, the company tops the $15.9 billion earned by ExxonMobil in the second quarter of 2012, says Standard & Poor's.
The company's revenue surged past Wall Street expectations. Now the countdown begins for the Apple Watch, shipping in April.
The Taiwanese company, which supplies mobile chips in Asia, is gearing up for an expansion into the US. That could mean more affordable smartphone options.

Review: Riveting, Infuriating 'West of Memphis' Sheds New Light on Miscarriage of Justice
Film Festivals By Kate Erbland on December 26, 2012 | Comments (8)Editor's note: Nearly a year after premiering at Sundance, Amy Berg's West of Memphis hit limited release this week. The following is a re-run of our Sundance review, originally published on January 29, 2012. At Sundance, the film notably included interviews that had been completed mere days before its festival bow. As such, the final product now appearing in theaters is slightly modified from the Sundance version, with more interviews and tighter editing. Not to worry, however, as our faithful Associate Editor Kate Erbland watched the film again, in its final form, and this review remains as applicable as it did in January. When Amy Berg's West of Memphis held its first Sundance screening on only the second day of the festival, audience members walked out stunned – not just because of the film's emotional material, its often graphic crime scenes and autopsy photos and videos, or even because of how it squarely points to a singular perpetrator (one who is, of course, not part of the West Memphis 3), but because the film was undeniably fresh. So fresh, in fact, that two interviews that pop up in the film's final third both came complete with a time stamp that indicated that they had been conducted the week before the film bowed at the fest – eight days before its opening. While the West Memphis 3 (Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley) were freed in August of last year, their nearly twenty-year ordeal remains almost frighteningly of the moment.
Endure and Enjoy the 9-Hour 'Lord of the Rings' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on December 18, 2012 | Comments (3)By now, you've probably seen The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and you may have stumbled out of the theater, feeling drunk from the effects of the HFR projection. Regardless of what you thought of Peter Jackson's latest Middle-earth fantasy epic, you might be tempted to watch all or part of his previous trilogy The Lord of the Rings. This is a marathon session to endure, especially if you opt for the extended editions of the films, which totals close to twelve hours of movies. In short, you can start one movie with breakfast (or second breakfast, or elevensies) and be drinking your nighttime spirits by the middle of the second film. So whenever you plan on drinking during this batch of movies, there's always time for this drinking game.
So What Did You Think of 48FPS and 'The Hobbit'?
Features By Scott Beggs on December 15, 2012 | Comments (21)There have been exactly 4,593 editorials written about higher frame rates ever since Peter Jackson announced he'd be filming The Hobbit in 48FPS. Experts, semi-experts and barely-experts have weighed in with a range of responses that firmly cover "Who cares?" all the way to "Film is dead forever and ever so everyone stop making them." But we want to know what you thought. If you went to a screening of The Hobbit that featured the higher frame rate, did you like what you saw? If not, is it the kind of thing you could get used to? Or is it terrible all around? Let us know in the comments section, and feel free to share your thoughts on the movie itself. Audiences and critics seem a bit divided on this one, so we won't be surprised if you came to a different conclusion than Hunter and Neil did.
Mondo Celebrates 'The Hobbit' In Best Way Possible: By Releasing New Posters for 'Lord of the Rings'
Movie News By Kate Erbland on December 12, 2012 | Comments (1)While some might think that the best way to celebrate the release of a new film is to perhaps craft some art based on said new film, the folks over at Mondo have decided to use their poster celebration (posterbration?) of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey to honor Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy instead. Sounds good to us! Everyone's favorite poster shop (and the official collectible art division of the Alamo Drafthouse) will release the Olly Moss-made posters tomorrow, December 13. The posters each measure 15″ x 36″. The regular edition (as shown up top) is limited to 580 posters (priced at $50) and the variant edition is limited to just 285 (priced at $90). Make sure to follow @MondoNews on Twitter for the exact sale time for these Hobbit-celebrating LOTR posters. Check out the variant after the break!
We can all hoist accolades on the filmmakers found in this series, but there are few who are as transparent about their process and actively engaging when it comes to including fans on set (at least via video) than Peter Jackson. Not just a minimal-effort chore for marketing, Jackson seems to relish with childlike abandon in making the Making Of videos and taking audiences behind the scenes of movies while they're being made. Maybe that shouldn't be surprising for a details-oriented storyteller who has built entire worlds for us to visually visit. But he wasn't always sitting on top of Middle-Earth. Before The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, it was more likely you'd catch him with a lawnmower in hand and a bucket of fake blood close by. So here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from someone who fought in the Battle of Helm's Deep.
Twitter Debates 'The Hobbit' in 48FPS
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on December 10, 2012 | Comments (14)Yesterday on Twitter a minor spat broke out, as is often the case when people type things on the internet. Participants included our own @FakeRobHunter, FEARNet writer @ScottEWeinberg, Movies.com editor @PeterSHall, and many others who chimed in. What was the topic of the day? The Hobbit and its 48FPS presentation. Firstly, background: As you probably heard or just recently put together from the previous sentence, The Hobbit was filmed in and will be projected at 48 frames per second, which is something new for the big screen, at least on this scale. Movies generally run at 24FPS and have been running at that rate for the last 80 years (give or take). By doubling the frame rate, Peter Jackson hoped to eliminate a blurring effect that happens during quick movement and action at 24FPS, but in doing so, creates an unusual experience, one of super smooth motion that has been described as either looking "realistic" or "like shit."
Review: 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' Feels Twice as Long as Half a Movie Should
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on December 10, 2012 | Comments (13)Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) lives a quiet and comfortable life in his home in a hill in The Shire, but that life gets a wake up call one day in the form of a tall, bearded wizard named Gandalf (Ian McKellen). It seems Bilbo has been chosen to take part in an adventure, and before night falls his home is filled with a dozen dwarves emptying his pantry, singing songs and planning their great journey. After some consternation Bilbo agrees to join the troupe, and this baker's dozen plus one head off towards The Lonely Mountain which was once homeland to the dwarves but is now the residence of one very large and very dangerous dragon, Smaug. The story is a familiar one thanks to a source novel from J.R.R. Tolkien that hasn't left print since its publication in 1937 and continued success as one of literature's finest fantasy adventures for young readers. It's reached the screen previously in animated form, and its sequel, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, conquered multiplexes a decade ago with wondrous adaptations by director Peter Jackson. Jackson returns with co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens to bring The Hobbit to the big screen across two (or three) feature films. Why a 310 page novel needs more than one film when the trilogy's 1571 collective pages worked beautifully across just three movies is anyone's guess, but you can't argue with accountants apparently. Also returning are a few cast members and characters from the trilogy, some […]
Legolas Is Still Dreamy As Ever: Third 'Hobbit' Film Releases First Photo, Starring Orlando Bloom
First Look By Kate Erbland on December 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe first film in Peter Jackson's new three-entry The Hobbit franchise, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, is still a week away from release, but that hasn't stopped the production from rolling out, wait, what? a picture from the third film in the series? Fortunately, this first look stars a fan favorite from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Orlando Bloom as Legolas. But, sorry, just what is Legolas doing in The Hobbit: There and Back Again? He's not in J.R.R. Tolkien's book! As Jackson explains it: "He's [elven king] Thranduil's son, and Thranduil is one of the characters in The Hobbit, and because elves are immortal it makes sense Legolas would be part of the sequence in the Woodland Realm." Fair enough. Alongside Bloom? That's Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman, a Laketown warrior who will be getting a bit more attention in the film than he did in the series' source material, with screenwriter and producer Philippa Boyens explaining, "We take more time introducing him. We know from what follows that he was a father, so we [explore] that. I don't think we take liberties, because it's all there in the storytelling." The first film in the series, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, will hit theaters next week in 2D, 3D, and IMAX on December 14. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will be released on December 13, 2013, and the final entry, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, will be released on July 18, 2014. [EW]
See 'The Hobbit' In IMAX 3D at Midnight, Get Four Exclusive Posters for Your Trouble
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 28, 2012 | Comments (2)By now, you've probably already decided which format you're going to see Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in, be it IMAX, 3D, 24 FPS, 48 FPS, 2D, PQUEZ (that one is a joke, you guys) or otherwise, but it looks like the marketing team behind the production just might have thrown a wrench into your decision. For those intrepid midnight movie-goers, Warner Bros. and IMAX have teamed up to put together a package of no less than four exclusive character posters for the film, posters that will only be given away to fans who come out to see the film for a 12:01AM 3D screening on December 14 at select IMAX theaters. While these posters should pretty much sell themselves, it is essential to note that these screenings will not be in 48 frames per second. But, hey, free posters. And Star Trek Into Darkness footage! Think you want to go? Check out this list of participating theaters that will all be doing the 12:01AM screenings with posters for giveaway (while supplies last, of course). Check out all four posters after the break.
You'll Be Shocked to Know That 'The Hobbit' Soundtrack Also Has a Special Edition Version
Movie Music By Kate Erbland on November 1, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt just doesn't stop, does it? Not only is one film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" not enough for movie fans (or director Peter Jackson? or his vast and very talented cast? or the country of New Zealand?), two film adaptations are also not enough, so you better believe that just one soundtrack isn't even close to good enough for a production that has now ballooned to include three films based on one novel. WaterTower Music has just announced (via Fandango) the release of the official soundtrack to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and, shock of shocks, just one disc isn't going to cut it. The Official Motion Picture Soundtrack will arrive in stores and online on December 11 as a two-disc set, with a Special Edition also available on that same day. The so-called Special Edition will include six exclusive bonus tracks, seven extended score cues, and deluxe liner notes. The soundtrack features an original score by Academy Award winner Howard Shore (who also did the score for Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy), along with a new original song by Crowded House's Neil Finn. You can check out the full track listing for both editions of the soundtrack after the break, if you're into that sort of thing.
Can't Remember All the Names of the Dwarves of 'The Hobbit'? Have We Got a Banner For You!
Movie News By Kate Erbland on October 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentReading J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and processing its myriad characters can be confusing enough for kid brains (I remember, quite vividly, making a cheat sheet of all the names within the book, a list that I stuck in the back of my paperback copy and would refer to frequently), and few of those names are more interchangeable (and confusing) than that of the thirteen dwarves who accompany Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf on their (unexpected) journey. I mean, the rhyming, while sweet, is just not helpful when trying to differentiate between Thorin and Gloin and Oin, but that's just how things are in Middle-earth. Of course, now we have three whole films to look forward to, and a massive cast of talent to finally put faces to (a multitude of) names. So why not use a handy dandy banner to brush up on all the dwarves we will soon meet in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey? Heck, even Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and Gandalf (Ian McKellan) are there! Take a look at the banner after the break. How many dwarves can you name before you look at it?
Second 'Hobbit' Trailer is a Merry Gathering of Adventure
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 19, 2012 | Comments (1)Fans are undoubtedly ready for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey with willing hearts, and the second trailer is a fantastic look at the action of the film as well as some of the humor. Without question, Peter Jackson has recreated the massive scale of Middle-Earth, and all signs point to another adventure into the realm of darkness with an excellent, ragtag band of characters. And then there's Gollum. How they managed to get that possible Jar Jar right in the first trilogy is a mystery (the answer is probably mostly Andy Serkis), but he looks like he'll play his usual important role here – dedicated to worshipping his Precious (based on the novel…you get it) and threatening hilarious bodily harm against far hobbits. December cannot get here fast enough. [Apple]
'The Desolation of Smaug' to be Peter Jackson's 'Empire Strikes Back'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentSo, yes, Peter Jackson and company have decided to extend their two-night Hobbit tour into an extra evening. Feel cynical about it or feel elated to have another trip into Middle-Earth, but know that it is coming with furious vengeance. According to Aint It Cool, the second second film in the newly minted trilogy will be called The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. It should be due out December of 2013. The third film, There and Back Again – which was the first second film (for those keeping score) – will be out July, 2014. From the general darkness and devastation of the title, and the fact that this is Jackson's second big opportunity with a fantasy trilogy of this type, it's easy to speculate that he'll bring down the fire, leaving the second film on the brink of the big gloom. That's pure speculation, but wouldn't it be awesome if he went full dark, Empire style? Hopefully he'll keep the Ewoks away from the final installment, though.
Peter Jackson Shares 'The Hobbit' Comic-Con Footage with the World in Latest Production Video
Movie News By Scott Beggs on August 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentMany of us weren't at Comic-Con this year, and many of us felt a range of emotions about it. Oddly enough, there were a lot of people in San Diego sharing that same exact range of emotions. For those who didn't get to make the trip and sleep on a hotel floor just to wait on a grass lawn for 5 hours in order to see a few scraps of footage, we missed out on at least one amazing thing: work from The Hobbit lovingly displayed by Peter Jackson. But despair no longer! In his latest production blog (and, seriously, isn't it amazing that he takes the time and energy to share the process so intimately with fans?), Jackson brings us all to San Diego with him and delivers the visual goods. That includes some behind-the-scenes greetings from a few soon-to-be-familiar faces. Check out the video for yourself:
Peter Jackson Will Split 'The Hobbit' Into 3 Films Because the World Needs Another 11 Hours in Middle-earth
Movie News By Kate Erbland on July 30, 2012 | Comments (3)Are the eleven hours and twenty-two minutes of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings series just not enough for you? Do you require (what will most likely end up being) another ten- or eleven-hour run of J.R.R. Tolkien cinematic adaptations? Don't care about shelling out the cash for three movies dedicated to telling the story of, in case you've forgotten, just one book? Have we got news for you! Following last week's rumors that Jackson would ultimately end up splitting his already two-part adaptation of The Hobbit into three films, the filmmaker himself has now confirmed the news on his Facebook page (via ComingSoon), saying: It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie – and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved 'yes.'
Movie News After Dark: The Wolverine Concepts, Three Hobbit Movies and Every 3D Movie Looks the Same
Movie News By Neil Miller on July 24, 2012 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column about… well, the title is pretty self explanatory, is it not? We begin this evening with a shot at some concept art for The Wolverine, the James Mangold directed, Hugh Jackman starring film that has some high hopes following the mess that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We can see some Japanese prison things, some samurai stuff and all kinds of amber hues. So far, so good.
Peter Jackon On 'The Hobbit': "Next Stop, The Cutting Room"
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFrom his Facebook page, Peter Jackson has announced that principal photography is done for The Hobbit. "We made it! Shoot day 266 and the end of principal photography on The Hobbit. Thanks to our fantastic cast and crew for getting us this far, and to all of you for your support! Next stop, the cutting room. Oh, and Comic Con!" The first film in the 2-parter, An Unexpected Journey, is due in theaters December 14th, giving Jackson and company 161 days to finish the film. But first, crowds at Comic-Con will get what will most likely be an incredible look at what they've got so far.
Latest 'Hobbit' Production Blog Shows Off a New Legolas and How Movies Really Get Made
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat's striking about the newest production blog for The Hobbit is how many people it features – and even then, it's probably 1% of the full crew. For anyone wondering what making a movie is really like, this is a nice primer (even if it's staged). People living in a trailer village, shuffling paper from one office to the next, coordinating with the extensive costuming department. These are the tricks behind the magic. The dwarf noses are fake, but the fire is real. The video features Peter Jackson, many of the actors, and the badass taking over as Legolas while Orlando Bloom films the blog footage. It's a cool tour through Stone Street Studios and the behind-the-scenes world of Gloin and Friends. Check it out for yourself:
8 More Promised Movies That Still Haven't Been Made
Cinematic Listology By Scott Beggs on May 10, 2012 | Comments (1)The flames are hot here in development hell, and there's way too much cocaine. Way, way too much. So why wouldn't we come back? When we first examined 8 Promised Movies That Still Haven't Been Made, it was an exploration of the complex world of filmmaking where the smallest issue can derail an entire project potentially worth millions. Nervous executives, scheduling conflicts, hangnails. Getting a movie made is a miracle, and even those that get hailed in the press as moving forward are sometimes abandoned. Considering our national grand obsession with hypotheticals, here are 8 more movies we were told would happen that haven't (including some that won't).
Alfred Hitchcock was born in the 19th century but gave birth in the 20th century to the age of modern filmmaking. Famous for his wit, inventive appreciation of the macabre, and a firm belief that suspense involves bringing a victim out from the shadows into the light he crafted the kinds of movies that made you care about characters even while reaching for your cholesterol medication. He also has a lot to teach. To fellow filmmakers and fans alike. Which is why we've chosen him as the first teacher in a new series of weekly articles where master movie-makers share their insights. Throughout his life, Hitchcock was candid about his methods and philosophies (amongst other things he flung around freely). Here's a bit of free film school from a true visionary.
