How to give your Arduino Ethernet shield wireless capability
Connecting your Arduino to the internet is cool, but it's even cooler to connect over WiFi. Luca explains how to connect your Arduino Ethernet shield to a cheap WiFi router to give it WiFi access.
This entry was posted in Arduino, wireless and tagged Arduino, tutorial, WiFi.Sometimes however it could be easier (and maybe cheaper!) to connect an Arduino to the Wi-fi network using your ethernet shield in conjunction with a wireless router.
I found the TL-WR702N nano router by TP-LINK that, with a cost of about 20€ on eBay, can work also as a wireless client: in this mode the router acts like a "bridge" between the device connected to its ethernet port and a Wi-fi network.
Yes, and if you buy a TL-WR703N for about the same price (or its global export RoHS/CE/FCC compliant sister product, the slightly larger TL-MR3020), you get an additional USB host port where you can connect the Arduino directly without needing the Ethernet shield. For this purpose though, you have to replace the original firmware by OpenWrt, but it is pretty easy.
Actually, you can even use the free Ethernet port to get wired Ethernet access…
I recorded a few videos describing the setup:
clicked to write the same thing, Im glad I wasnt the only one :)
Thanks for that info :) I'd heard about these, but didn't realise it was useful like this
You can put openwrt on this same router and either use a usb serial connector or wire up the serial port to provide wifi without the ethernet shield too…
It is a neat little lnux box. I have not yet used mine for anything yet though… -
THAT! Is cool!!!! Want one!
Check out the openwrt wiki for the TL-WR703N at http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n.
It's got a serial port (internal) that you could connect to the arduino, that saves a LOT
of code space on the AVR side instead of having the TCP/IP stack or even the USB code.Using one of the many atmega32u4 breakout boards instead of the arduino ecosystem
is a lot more efficient in the long run. The AVR board ends up cheaper and using LUFA
and a USB cable gets you to the TL-WR703N and the internet. -
You need to know that the TL-WR703N USB only supports high-speed devices reliably, so you need to add a (passive) hub to connect to an Arduino permanently.
It is also possible to cycle the USB power from the router.
I added the ability to flash the Arduino board directly from the TL-WR703N router web admin:
Presumably if you connected to the 'Internal serial port', then high speed wouldn't be an issue, is that correct? Does the TL-WR702 also have that internal serial port than can be hacked into?
The TL-WR702N probably has the same serial port as the TL-WR703N, but it is 2.7V only and you get Linux and U-Boot console in the way… First one is not to dificult to get rid off if you compile your own firmware, but not the second one… It also requires above-the-average soldering skills, given the tiny pad size and their capability to lift off from PCB easily :)
Thanks. Soldering skills are certainly no problem, HRHS trained, plenty of decent gear, etc. etc. and more years than I care to admit ;) Interfacing 2.7V is no issue, essentially Hardware no issue, firmware on the other hand… um… Maybe I'll just stick with the Ethernet link – lol.
If you want a prettier, and more compact, solution you can use one of the shields from these guys: http://diysandbox.com/
Prettier? I guess beauty is subjective… I prefer a plastic rounded case than a bare PCB, if not from a pure hacker point of view :)
As for compactness, the TL-WR702N is only 57 x 57 x 18mm, so about the size of an Arduino Pro…
And for the price of the "Hydrogen" Wifi shield ($75 + $39.29 shipping to my place), you can get 5x TL-WR703N routers!!!
I was actually trying to make my laptop act as a LAN-to-Wifi Bridge (just for a few project demos,not actual use),but couldnt get it to work as intended.Anyone here tried that?
Pretty easy actually. If you use Windows go to the adapters page. (Windows 7: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections). Select the two adapters you want to bridge, right click and select 'Bridge adapters'.
We used to use this method to play multi-player games when no one had a router and there were desktop PCs around. One laptop would be the 'server' and would create an Ad-Hoc WiFi net to which other laptops would connect. One of these laptops would connect to a desktop. The WiFi and wired ethernet adapters would be bridged on this laptop. So now, even the desktop would be able to get onto the same network *through* the laptop.
I did the same just yesterday and i had to set the router to 'client mode' to connect it to my main router's wifi, bridge mode didn't work. Anyone encountered the same issue?
Bridge mode is not the same as Client mode. Bridge mode is like WDS, extending a wireless network, as if both your router and the main router were one. In Client mode, your router is like a computer connecting to a wireless network. Not all routers support bridge mode (especially inter-company devices)
+1 for the TL-WR703N
OpenWRT WiKi says about TL-WR702N that "… it only has 2MB flash and 16MB RAM (for both Chinese and International versions), and therefore will not be supported in OpenWRT.".
I actually bought one for me today because it was only €16 on eBay (and not €30 it was few months ago).
Thank you very much for the OpenWRT Arduino flashing tip and the video demonstration!
Thank you!
@Kris Lee: I am looking for hi-res TL-WR702N PCB pictures. If you have a chance, could you please post them somewhere… Preferably here in the forum on on OpenWrt one…
I use the IOGear GWU627, same idea – cheap and tiny. Only issue is that you need a PC to setup the WiFi link (once).
The TPLink web site says this is the smallest wireless router in the world. It certainly is small, but I don't think that claim is quite true. I have an Edimax BR-6258n, which I think is somewhat smaller. (It comes in red or black. I got the red one because I assume it's faster.)
The BR-6258n also uses mini USB for power, but I don't know if it also does data over that connection, as the TL-WR702N seems to do. But in any case, the BR-6258n is not supported by either DD-Wrt or OpenWrt.
(But the BR-6258n is a great device for its intended purpose. I always have it in my computer bag for those times when I am stuck in a hotel room with only wired internet.)
FWIW, I think I've confirmed no data over USB for the BR-6258n. When I plug it into my Linux machine, no new USB devices show up in "lsusb".
Even if the BR-6258n is marginally smaller (51 x 42 x 17 mm vs. 57 x 57 x 18 mm), the TL-WR702/3N is much nicer aesthetically… Why do you assume that your red BR-6258n is faster, because Ferraris are red? ;) The TL-WR702n isn't supported by OpenWrt/DD-Wrt (only 2MB Flash capacity) and it doesn't provide data over the miniUSB connector either. But the TL-WR703N does, over the additional full USB socket: this is why it such an interesting device, only competing with the Hame MPR-A1 with smaller RAM capacity, an odd cigar-like shape, but with built-in 1800 mAH LiOn battery for $19… The Hame MPR-A2 has more memory and bigger battery, but is more expensive and even ugglier!
Squonk, don't you know that Red always goes faster? ;) But what you really have to do is put some racing stripes on it, then it will go really fast! These look like nice little units, good info to have, thanks.
Thanks for posting this project.
I'm using Arduino Uno R3, Ethernet shield and TP-Link TL-MR3020 (switch at WISP mode). I'm having trouble connecting.
There are 3 types of connections: PPPoE, Dynamic IP and Static IP. Which one did you use? How do you figure out what IP address to use in the Arduino pde program? I'm using the Arduino 23 IDE.
Thanks in advance.
The cost of the Ethernet Shield plus the modem isn't that much cheaper than the cost of a WiFi shield. What a ridiculous idlot you are.
To "Somebody":
I already had arduino and the ethernet shield and moved to a new appartament with wifi only. Am I an idiot for spending $15 for a wireless bridge? Wifi shield would cost me around five times more.You Sir, are the idiot.

The next great light bulb
Saturday, August 30, 2014
NEW YORK — As of Jan. 1 of this year, the 60-watt incandescent light bulb — that classic of the genre; the Edisonian ideal; the signifier that illuminates in your mind's eye when you're asked to picture "a light bulb" — was banned forever. Perhaps you prepped by hoarding a box of bulbs in the back of your closet. Or perhaps this news took you by surprise, and you now live in fear of the moment the beloved incandescent in your bedside lamp flickers out. |


text: The kernel on the CD has a special requirement: it has to boot on every computer and detect at least the CD and the hard drive. The following factors have been identified as trouble-makers: 1) Missing drivers - this means that the CD must use the latest kernel. 2) Drivers that poke ports blindly (this usually means ISA, but I have seen a laptop where Knoppix 5.1.1 refuses to boot unless one adds "nopcmcia"). This means that the kernel has to be fully modular, and even SCSI drivers should be loaded as modules from initramfs, and a mechanism should exist that can be used to prevent loading of unwanted drivers. The current SVN initramfs does this, the 6.2-5 CD is buggy. 3) libata - there are two drivers for each IDE chipset: the legacy IDE driver and a new (since 2.6.20) pata driver that exposes the disks as /dev/sdX. The problem is that one must guarantee that the desired one is loaded, and this is a difficult thing for the combined ata-piix module (that is also responsible for SATA disks). The full switch to libata is impossible: while my IDE controller works (driver: pata-via, corresponds to the old via82cxxx), Archaic has reported that his controller with the same PCI ID and revision doesn't work. This problem is partially solved by the "pata" boot argument that blacklists the unneeded modules in the initramfs (fixme: piix and jmicron). 4) USB CD-ROMs take some time to be recognized. The current initramfs apparently doesn't work with them unless the "rootdelay=10" parameter is passed. 5) ACPI. It is possible to cook the CPU during boot if "fan" is a module. 6) APIC. There are just too many computers with misrouted IRQs (manifestation: a device, such as USB controller or a wireless card doesn't work) fixable by "linux noapic pci=noacpi". Less important issues: 1) Drivers that need firmware. If the firmware is not present on the CD, the firmware loading process times out, and unload/reload of the driver is needed. For this reason, ipw2{1,2}00 drivers are not on the CD (although the latest clarification on Intel web site seems to mean that we qualify as ISV and thus can redistribute the firmware). And, of course, drivers that need firmware cannot be non-modular. 2) iocharset modules: all of them must be built in order for the CD to be able to claim good locale support. -- Alexander E.

Furmanite shares get a boost from 2013 outlook
720 days ago
(AP:RICHARDSON, Texas) Furmanite Corp. shares jumped Friday after the pipe and valve repair company reported an increase in fourth-quarter revenue and forecast profit and revenue increases for the current year.
For the quarter ended Dec. 31, the Richardson, Texas-based company earned $1.1 million, or 3 cents per share, down from $11.2 million, or 30 cents per share, in the same quarter the year before. Furmanite attributed the drop in net income to a jump in its income tax rate and higher-than-expected restructuring costs.
Excluding one-time items, Furmanite said it would have posted a profit of 10 cents per share for the recent quarter.
Revenue rose 14 percent to $93.2 million from $81.8 million.
For the full year, the company earned $805,000, or 2 cents per share, down from $24 million, or 64 cents per share, in 2011. Revenue rose to $326.5 million from $316.2 million.
For 2013, Furmanite projected earnings of 40 cents to 44 cents per share on $370 million to $395 million.
In afternoon trading, the company's shares rose 54 cents, or 9 percent, to $6.59, after peaking at $6.65. Over the past 52 weeks, Furmanite's shares have traded between $3.69 and $6.76.

Michael Jackson to be buried in a Gold-plated, $25,000 solid bronze casket
Zombie Survival Single Gasmask Pendent 1 is bling full of horrorMichael Jacksons final resting place will be a solid bronze, 14k Gold plated casket worth $25,000, featuring a plush blue velvet interior and a hand-polished, mirror finish. The casket, called Promethean was ordered last night from Batesville Casket Company and is quite similar to the one used to bury soul singer James Brown. Jacksons funeral will be held at the Staples Center
, the home of LA Lakers on the coming Tuesday.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 super car displayed in KoreaIf you love watching horror flicks, then you will love to have some zombie memorabilia around you to showcase that love. There's no better way than the Zombie Survival Kit Gasmask Pendent 1. It's some nice bling full of zombie terror that comes in white or yellow gold or it's available in plating of either material. I really like the custom made wooden box it comes in. Only a limited number of pieces are available for $450 (plated versions) , so you'd better hurry. You can buy it at Etsy.
Car enthusiasts in Korea were in for a treat recently when Lamborghini displayed its famous supercar, the Gallardo LP560-4 at an expo. This stunning car was on display at the Seoul Auto Salon 2009 and bowled the Koreans over with its beauty and design. The exquisite supercar is powered by a 5204cc DOHC engine with 560 horsepower. The car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds and boasts of an enviable top speed of 325km/h. Promising a powerful performance, this speedster has an exquisite interior to match its classy exterior.The car is expected to cost prospective buyers around 400,000,000 KRW ($316,000).

My pal J. Guthrie always viewed the world with a uniquely Southern-fried perspective. So when our plan came together to pursue Gould's turkeys south of the border, well, the text he sent was classic Guthrie: "Oh heck yes, Guthrie and 'The Steen' slapping turkeys in Ol' Mexico. Hot dang." It still doesn't seem possible that it was one of the last messages I ever received from him. My phone rang at an odd hour on the morning of April 13, 2013. It was my friend, Tim Brandt, an employee of Federal Cartridge Company, set to join Guthrie and me in Mexico the following month. "I wish I was calling with better news," Tim said, his tone more so than the words causing me to instinctively brace myself. "J. Guthrie died last night." One of my great friends—a husband, father and one of the country's foremost outdoor writers known for his work in this magazine and many others—fell asleep at age 37 and simply never woke up. ■■■ I was no longer excited to hunt Mexico. I didn't want to go. Guthrie's loss, I just knew, would envelop the hunt too greatly to bear. How I hoped that Tim would be the first to suggest cancelling to relieve me of the burden. Turns out he had a considerably more positive attitude. "Tell me a guy who loved to hunt turkeys more than Guthrie," Tim said. "Would he want us to stay home or go shoot a couple birds? I say we go to Mexico, on the condition Guthrie's memory accompanies us." ■■■ May 10, 2013, found me in the back seat of an old Suburban barreling up and down the rural foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains, the nearest little town being Guerrero in the province of Chihuahua, Mexico. The dust flew, as we were late, and the large rocks scattered across the farm roads—really just horse paths, at best—proved unforgiving. Still, our guide, Damien, attempted conversation as we bounced along. His bosses at El Halcon Outfitters speak perfect English, but he was not blessed with an education. Fortunately, Tim speaks fluent Spanish, and I know enough to sound like Gringo Tarzan.
Somehow the subject of Guthrie came up, though I do not recall exactly how.
"Well," Damien replied, "I'm sure he's here with you right now." Then a tire exploded. It didn't just develop a leak—it struck a rock and disintegrated. With neither a spare tire in the vehicle nor time to change one anyhow, we had but one option: Walk up the hill and hunt. ■■■ It was our third day of hard hunting, and I'd spent much time pondering my friend. I remember when I met Guthrie: He strolled into my office to say hello not three hours into my first day on the job at the National Rifle Association. Immediately I knew I was dealing with a human being of unique character and disposition. His Southern drawl was thick, and the further he launched into each story, the thicker it became. He wore a tie—per NRA's strict dress code—but he also donned a camo hat, a fashion statement no doubt symptomatic of his rebel spirit. Though the subject of my Yankee ancestry arose early in our conversation, Guthrie invited me to lunch anyhow. The restaurant was a little barbecue joint and, perhaps inspired by my new colleague from Georgia, I ordered the Southern barbecue platter with a sweet potato and sweet tea. "Why haaaail, Wintersteen, pretty soon we'll have you pronouncing all four E's in sh####!t," he said with his big, good-ol'-boy grin. I liked "J" immediately, and many of the best stories from my 20s involve him. There are some I can share. Others are fit only for certain audiences. A few remain between Guthrie and me forever. Of the former, I find that I'm most often asked to retell the stories of Guthrie's workplace pranks. A personal favorite began at a time when his prowess in this regard was still unbeknownst to me. I walked into his office and spotted an old, obviously reblued 1911 .45 on the desk. I suppose that would be odd in a typical business environment. Guthrie remained engrossed in his work. Curious, I approached the pistol and did what any safe gun handler would do by pulling back the slide to inspect the chamber. It immediately locked into place and would not return forward despite vigorous effort. "What the—what are you doing?" exclaimed Guthrie. "That is Joe Foss' Nineteen-a-freaking-'Leven. You shouldn't even be handling it without white gloves! My gosh, have you broken it?" Guthrie escorted me to the media division's deputy director so I could explain how I'd so defiled the pistol of an American war hero and former NRA president. Unlike Guthrie, she only held her composure a few moments before busting out in laughter. Turns out the 1911 was merely an old gun with a bad spring that would lock into place every time it was pulled back. Guthrie had set a trap for me and executed it perfectly. Which brings me to Guthrie story No. 2. Once upon a time, J. burst into my bedroom and obtained a semi-nude photo of me, mind you, without my permission. Occasionally I worried about how the photo could come back to haunt me, until one morning Guthrie called to declare that he'd posted it on the office bulletin board. "Ha-ha. Shut up Guthrie," I said, hanging up. Then a steady string of female coworkers called claiming to have seen it. Still, I knew it was a prank. Not even Guthrie would have dared. However, I then received a call from a good church-going coworker named Robert. He didn't drink. He didn't cuss. He didn't lie—except apparently under the charm of one J. Guthrie. "It's true," Robert said. "I can't believe he'd do that to you." I stormed down the hall, furious. I didn't care if I was fired—I was going to punch Guthrie square on the nose. He saw it in my eyes, too. "It was a joke! It was a joke!" he wailed, frantically waiving those long, skinny arms. "I didn't post it, I swear!" I laughed. He laughed. And, in different ways, we were both relieved. ■■■ The 7,600-foot elevation led Tim and me to gulp air as we climbed while Damien ascended the ridge so effortlessly he appeared to float. We had reason to hurry, as the sun was already up and at least two gobblers had courteously revealed their roost locations higher on the mountain. But when we reached their suspected arena, all was quiet. We pressed on, reaching a fence. The terrain dropped off sharply beyond it into a small valley. We could hear faint gobbles on the neighboring ridge, but we lacked permission to hunt beyond the barbed wire. It seemed our best shot for the moment, however, so we set up. There was a sizable mound of earth along the fence so Tim sat to its left and I to its right. If a bird appeared on either side, one of us would have an opportunity to shoot. Damien positioned himself about 20 yards behind us and began yelping on a slate. About every third try, a gobbler answered, but the sound got no closer. My thoughts drifted to Guthrie. The dry desert air reminded me of the fact he never washed his Jeep, not wanting to "waste water when there's farmers who can't irrigate their crops." Then there was the time I had a flat tire in the NRA parking lot. I looked out an office window and there was Guthrie, beneath my truck in his camo hat and tie changing it for me. The gobbler fell silent, so we began to get up. Damien gave it one last shot with a box call—and he answered. Damien called again. This time the bird double-gobbled. Then triple-gobbled. The bird would need to descend into the valley, climb the tall slope in front of us and cross the fence, but it was fired up. And it was coming. I caught a glimpse of it through my binocular on its way down the ridge, and the next time we heard it the distance was cut substantially—the bird was likely already on the near slope approaching the fence.

[Dateline: New York | Author: DPKO]
Experts from UN agencies, the World Bank, the European Union, INTERPOL and academia were brought together by the Police Division of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations for the fourth International Policing Advisory Council (IPAC) meeting.
The IPAC meeting emphasized the importance of forming partnerships across the UN system and beyond in addressing organized crime, in particular with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the UN Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) and the UN Development Programme (UNDP). Close relationships with non-UN actors including INTERPOL, EUROPOL and other regional partners are also crucial.
United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, Dmitry Titov, opened the event and highlighted the results that can be achieved when law enforcement players work together.
"International policing is playing an increasingly central role in any effective peacekeeping response to organized crime in post-conflict situations. This activity includes information gathering in cooperation with international law enforcement partners, sophisticated analysis of clandestine groups and mechanisms for building up the rule of law in local communities," Mr. Titov said.
UN peacekeeping operations and presences have been tasked to combat illicit operations including: gang and drug crime in Haiti; human trafficking and financial crime in Kosovo; drug trafficking in Guinea Bissau; arms trafficking in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo; illicit timber trading in Liberia; and the illegal economy in Timor-Leste.
UN Member States have committed themselves to combating organized crime through the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, which opened for signature in Palermo in 2000.
UN Police Adviser Andrew Hughes, who chaired the IPAC meeting, emphasized that preventing, disrupting and dismantling organized crime was a legitimate part of police activities in many peacekeeping operations.
"Organized crime should be on the programme of UN Police activities as it is on the programme of policing throughout the world," Mr. Hughes said.
IPAC was launched two years ago to support the strategic mission of the UN Police to promote the long-term reform, restructuring and rebuilding of national police forces in post-conflict countries.
Police operations are the fastest growing component of UN peacekeeping. The number of authorized police officers in UN missions has doubled from 8,315 in January 2006 to 16,900 in January 2008. As of today, almost 13,000 UN police officers, drawn from 98 countries, are deployed in 19 UN peace operations.
The Police Division is an integral component of the Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions (OROLSI). UN Police work with OROLSI colleagues, including experts in the areas of justice and corrections, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, security sector reform and mine action to provide an integrated approach to UN assistance in rule of law and security.

San Diego is lucky to have some of the country's best planning minds. The trick is getting their input implemented.
By Bill Adams / UrbDeZine.com
San Diego's downtown street grid and its small blocks make continuous walking difficult, especially for people trying to go in a straight line. Jogging is even more difficult. The blocks are 200 by 300 feet. Among major cities, only Portland has smaller blocks at 200 by 200 feet.
So depending on walking direction, pedestrians generally must stop every 200 or 300 feet to wait for traffic.
While this may not be troublesome for people on vacation or on a day-off, for residents and downtown workers who use their feet for more utilitarian purposes, it is an impediment not experienced in many other cities nor even in the suburbs.

The OSWALD Project
Computer Science (CS) education, for some time now, has been accused of being outdated and failing to capture the hearts and minds of the next generation of leaders and innovators. Rekindling the pioneer spirit and excitement of the hacking culture of the 1970s and 1980s requires flexible and accessible open hardware and software in an environment that promotes experimentation and collaboration. Although the software community has a long history of building and sharing such platforms, open and flexible hardware platforms have been few and far between. Oregon State University developed the Oregon State Wireless Active Learning Device (OSWALD) to help close this loop. The OSWALD is an open, Linux-based, ultra-mobile personal computer incorporating many of today's new technologies and gives students and enthusiasts full access to both its hardware and software. Based on discussions with the OSWALD development team, this article provides a brief overview of the platform and explores the lessons learned in re-inventing computer science through open source.
One of the most frustrating challenges CS educators face today is convincing the next generation of students that room still exists for innovation and making a difference in computing. With the advancement of computing and its proliferation into most aspects of our lives, many prospective students feel computing is "a solved problem", that the days of innovation and chances to make a significant contribution have passed. We are victims of our own success. The rapid spread of cheap hardware and polished applications had removed one of the most compelling reasons many have had for studying computer science: the need to scratch our own itch. As a consequence, CS enrollment has dropped for more than a decade.
It doesn't help that the CS curriculum has, in many ways, failed to keep up with changes. Here I refer to the core curriculum, not the electives or advanced courses, where we often see a much richer and up-to-date set of topics. Little has changed in the core curriculum during the last 15 years short of programming language choices. In all fairness, the body of CS has been growing tremendously, and the fundamentals are still fundamental, but academia has failed to make sure this core stays relevant and visible to current and future students.
Open source provides a unique opportunity to help us bridge this gap. In an article titled "Computer Science Education in the 21st Century", David A. Patterson, former president of ACM and Pardee Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley, explained that open source provided unique opportunities for injecting realism and relevance into the classroom. One of Patterson's laments is that students can easily go through their undergraduate education without real exposure to computing. Students rarely read other people's code, and sharing of code is often the same as cheating. The largest codebase students might see is a few thousand lines of their code written over a period of 6–12 months with, at most, a half-dozen other students. This code will not evolve or be maintained. In all likelihood, it will be discarded as soon as the class ends. Open source allows educators to change this dynamic, opening a window into the chaotic and complex, yet realistic world of software development. A place where code is designed and written by many, and the context, metadata, discussion and collaboration required is available to all. It's a unique resource for educators to present an invaluable opportunity to students to learn real skills. Oregon State University has been busy developing curriculum centered on open source, and it is aware of how to navigate its sometimes discouraging waters.
Dr Carlos Jensen, an assistant professor at Oregon State University and driving force behind this project, explains:
Students do not want to re-invent the wheel, and can be intimidated by the quantity and quality of easily available software. Many of us learned how to program by writing small programs designed to meet some need other software couldn't. Some of us attained glory by writing something our fellow students also found useful and would circulate. Today, chances are, there is already an app to meet most needs, and students often see joining large open-source communities as their only choice to make a difference in computing. It can be a daunting and intimidating prospect for someone learning how to code, and therefore, open source must be introduced in the right context.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

They were what I hoped they would be.

Wow. Shiny. Beautiful. Perfect size and go with any outfit. These classic studs will never go out of style, so I feel like this purchase was just as much an investment in good, quality, timeless jewelry as it was a treat.

Squaring the circle
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Near the end of February, at an event sponsored by Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce, the invited speaker, Brian Gottlob of PolCon Research, did not curry favor by telling his audience of business people what they wanted to hear. While the business community, and everyone else for that matter, would like to be told that the deep economic recession is at an end, and that the state and the region will now steadily recover in the traditional way into years of prosperity, that's not the way Gottlob reads his economic tea leaves.
The explanation for this is that the NH labor force, between January 2012 and January 2013 rose by almost 6,000 people. This brings us to the so called "discouraged" workers — to use the tag that the Bureau of Labor Statistics employs. These are folks who have not actively looked for work in the past four weeks, and, accordingly, are removed from the labor force, to lurk in the statistical shadows like economic zombies. People who have not looked for a job in over a year, by the way, do not even exist in the shadows.
We will have to wait until late April to see what effect the mini-surge in the labor force has had on the gap between the U-3 and the U-6 unemployment numbers for New Hampshire for the first quarter of the year.
A couple of recessions ago, as the clouds began to darken, an economist predicted that Rochester would be "an economic hotspot." For the record, it wasn't, but this time, if Rochester officials' cheeriness is justified, it might become one. Thus, it is possible that both they and Gottlob, will be correct in their assessments. The city may grow, economically, while the state as a whole may tread. |

Mice homozygous for mutations in Dact1 (also called Dapper or Frodo) phenocopy human malformations involving the spine, genitourinary system and distal digestive tract. We traced this phenotype to disrupted germ-layer morphogenesis at the primitive streak. Notably, heterozygous mutation of Vangl2, a transmembrane component of the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway, rescued recessive Dact1 phenotypes, whereas loss of Dact1 reciprocally rescued semidominant Vangl2 phenotypes. We show that Dact1, an intracellular protein, forms a complex with Vangl2. In Dact1 mutants, Vangl2 was increased at the primitive streak, where cells ordinarily undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition. This is associated with abnormal E-cadherin distribution and changes in biochemical measures of the PCP pathway. We conclude that Dact1 contributes to morphogenesis at the primitive streak by regulating Vangl2 upstream of cell adhesion and the PCP pathway.

10 Photographic Assignments to Hone Your Skills
A few months ago I wrote about how setting myself photographic assignments was one of the things that had helped me to improve my photography the most.
The idea was that it is often when you put yourself into a situation specifically for photography that you are forced to practice the theory that you know and you see your photography improve.
The assignments I mentioned were all different types of photography or places to take photos – weddings, road trips, sporting events, festivals, portrait sessions, concerts, trips to the zoo etc.
What I didn't mention in the post was another set of 'assignments' or challenges that I've set myself over the years which have also led to a lot of photographic growth.
In these challenges I tend to set myself the challenge to only shoot in one particular way for a period of time (for me it is usually a weekend challenge as that is when i take most of my images).
These challenges all relate to your camera and limiting yourself in some way to either switch off some element of the automated aspects of your camera, limiting yourself to really hone a skill or to practice some kind of technique.
While this isn't really a natural way to shoot – I find that focusing in on one particular aspect or skill in photography at a time can really help to see improvements in that period of time which means when you next need that skill you're all ready to go!
Here's a few suggestions based upon weekends that I've done:
- The one focal length/lens weekend – either choose a single prime lens or a focal length at one end of a zoom and only shoot at that focal length for a whole weekend (choose one you don't naturally shoot in a lot). This teaches you a lot about that focal length and makes you think about your composition of your shots.
- The one aperture weekend - this can be hard if you shoot a wide range of subjects like I do but choose an aperture and try to stick to it for a period of time. To do this you'll find it easier if you shoot in Aperture Priority mode – you'll also probably find it best to choose either to shoot at one end of the aperture spectrum. This will teach you a lot about depth of field and get you thinking also about how to balance shutter speeds and ISO to get well exposed images.
- The one shutter speed weekend - similarly to the aperture challenge this can be challenging but spending some time either looking to capture subjects with long or very fast shutter speeds will teach you a lot. To do this shoot in Shutter Priority Mode.
- Manual Exposure Mode Weekend - if you don't venture into fully manual shooting that much set yourself a challenge to shoot in manual mode for a weekend. This is perhaps the best way possible to teach yourself about exposure!
- Manual Focusing Weekend - similarly if you rely upon your camera to always focus for you in Auto focus – switch to a weekend of just shooting with manual focus. This will break you out of your laziness and help you to really think about focal points.
- Switch cameras - got an older camera in your cupboard that you've been neglecting? Perhaps its an old film camera or an old digital camera without all the bells and whistles of your current one? Take it for a spin – sometimes older cameras require you to think more about settings and not rely upon the features of your modern camera. Shooting with film cameras also makes you slow down and get the shot right the first time.
- Compositional Rules - pick a 'rule' like the Rule of Thirds and try to adhere to it in every shot you take over a weekend. Alternatively choose to break the rule as much as possible but still end up with ascetically pleasing shots.
- Explore a Technique - spend a weekend really honing your skills in a particular shooting technique. For example you might like to spend time working on using Fill Flash in your shots – or Slow Sync Flash – or Zoom Blur – or Panning etc
- Lighting Technique - similarly set yourself the challenge to practice your skills with a particular lighting. It might be Natural light, window shots, one light portrait setups, silhouettes, classic lighting etc
- Recreate someone else's work - one last one that I am borrowing from a friend. My friend chooses an image each week from a photographer that he admires and he sets out to recreate it. While he never passes the shots he takes off as his ideas he finds it useful to analyse the work of others and to then try to recreate those shots – in doing so he finds he learns a lot.
There are of course many more – please suggest your favourite challenges/assignments in the comments section below!

mood focussed, say only smiling, only angry one because moods makes us human being.

Great article with some excellent tips. When you experiment with your gear, you really do learn a lot about the process of photography. Sometimes I'll try the "take photos from another height level" to see if different perspectives can be found. Sometimes I'll kneel down and look for subtle patterns or interesting plants on the ground, or climb a tree or small structure to see what else can be seen from above. It's fun to take a photo of something common but with an uncommon perspective.
June 9, 2012 12:44 am
Thanks for the great read. I recently read an article, probably here, that suggests that you go to a location and just sit for ten minutes thinking about what you want to photograph and how you want to compose your shot. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounded like something that could really inspire creativity.
June 8, 2012 11:44 pm
I love the ideas expressed. I would also like to suggest that if you have a few lens, try them. One lens a day on the same street and see the difference between the lenses. If you only have one lens like 18-200m than try with 3 different type of focus length like ( 18mm than 100mm and later with 200mm). Wrap them with plastic so that the lens focal length does not move. This will train yu to apperciate your leans capability and your focal length. Makes you think more which focal length you would want to use when taking future shots.
June 8, 2012 10:19 pm
These are great ideas that will definitely help me improve my skills. I have one more: shooting at the same OSI all day no matter what the lighting conditions are.
June 8, 2012 08:04 pm
Great AssignmentsCan I have some tips on how to shot a Normal Subject (Non-Model) and get a Perfect Portrait shot .
How to make the subject more comfortable & get a perfect shot.Regards
June 8, 2012 06:26 pm
This is an excellent idea and often just take one lens and use say one shutterspeed. It disciplines you and gets you out of a rut that you can easily fall into taking the same thing all the time.
It is also fun:This was a one lens, one aperture event:
June 8, 2012 04:40 pm
Thank's for the tips.I will try these, as I tend to shoot in aperture priority and trying these will help me understand my camera a lot more.
June 8, 2012 03:25 pm
Cool Tips! I will try, but I don't have a DSLR :)
"Recreate someone else's work" sounds good for me ;)http://www.photo-roll.com/
June 8, 2012 03:21 pm
Darren, I love all of your ideas. I enjoy getting your emails and enjoy the 'photography tips for the weekend'. Thanks!
June 8, 2012 02:21 pm
A lot of them appeal to me but still too tired after my trek. But will try it out on my next trip the rules bit.
June 8, 2012 11:30 am
"Ascetic" is not the same thing as "aesthetic."
Informative and good ideas.
June 8, 2012 11:20 am
This was a good one for me to read, I'm in what seems to be a never-ending slump and I'm going to have a go at some of these ideas to try and get out of it.
June 8, 2012 10:21 am
Thanks for these suggestions. A great way to improve one's photography.
June 8, 2012 10:20 am
Assignments are great and the suggestions are very worthwhile.
I've always done better at "assigned" photographic subjects than self-tasking, but not much better......
June 8, 2012 07:38 am
You can do self-portraits and commit to a 365 project or at least once a week. You may chose to stick to one color and keep looking for it for a whole period of time or a certain shape. One more trick I heard from someone is to challenge yourself to shoot the most mundane thing you have around you and still make something interesting out of it...
There's a lot .. you just need to get out there and start shooting!
June 8, 2012 07:25 am
Great article. I like to shoot in manual mode, so number 2 makes me cringe. lol I really like #8 though. I worked on panning a few weekends ago. I want to look deeper into some of those other techniques. Thank you for the ideas.
June 8, 2012 06:35 am
How about selecting one element of visual design and shooting only that element: lines, textures, shapes, etc. Also reflections or shadows are other good topics which provide various challenges to the photographer.
June 8, 2012 03:28 am
Cool post with cool techniques. I typically shoot in manual anyway, so a lot of these don't apply to me, but some like the "explore a technique" I would love to try.
In fact I think I might do that assignment. If I do it will be posted here: http://disney-photography-blog.com/

BlueCotton in the Media: Spring 2009
The old adage "April showers bring May flowers" has never been truer here in Bowling Green. The spring of 2009 was extremely wet and even approached soggy! Climate data by the University of Kentucky indicates rain on seventeen of April's thirty calendar days. April's 4.4 cumulative inches of rain resulted in some very lush (read: overgrown) lawns and gorgeous spring flowers all over the SouthCentral Kentucky area.
Similarly, BlueCotton was showered with several significant press recognitions and appearances this spring. The April 2, 2009 USA Today Lifestyle cover featured the Favorite t-shirt survey we conducted back in February.
On April 11th, our fearless leader Mike Coffey went live on Barry Moltz' podcast, "Business Insanity Talk Radio" to discuss t-shirts as the original microblog. Click here to listen!
Mike was interviewed for Business Week's publication Small Biz. In the April/May issue, "Turn On, Tune In, Tweet Out," Mike discusses Twitter's impact on our customer interaction. Twitter is a positive addition to our customer service tools, and we enjoy using the 140 character limit to engage customers. You can read the article here.
Through April, We've been using TwitPic to send photos of customer t-shirts hot off the dryer, actively issuing daily coupon codes for a free custom t-shirt, and tweeting discount codes up to 50% off the total order. We're continuing our Twitter campaign through the summer and have some special BlueCotton and Twitter-themed t-shirts on deck to give away very soon.
We're confident this publicity shower will push us to blossom through the summer!
