Here is how to make a small, indoor/outdoor quadcopter that you can
fly with either:
* an android phone or tablet
* a legitimate remote
* via your own processing (http://processing.org) sketches on a PC
(or Android device)
There are lots of optional steps in this project - for example, you
can skip building the quadcopter, and buy one instead - you will still
be to use the Arduino based radio to control it from your
phone/laptop/tablet. However if you go this route you will miss the
satisfaction of combining the ancient chinese arts of bamboo lashing
and cheap mass manufactured electronic toys...
However you go about it, this is a reasonably cheap project, the most
expensive part other than my laptop and tablet is an Arduino DUE and a
cheaper device could be used if desired.
The ability to write your own code to fly the copter make this more of
a drone than many remote control projects, but you will need to
develop your own code to actually decide what throttle, rudder,
aileron and elevator commands to send it when - a work in progress
based upon a 'Ground station' camera tracking the copter from
underneath is included, but it doesn't fly it yet!
As a simpler exercise for the reader, you can also look into adding
forward/backward/left/right FLIP buttons to the android remote.

This work was inspired by the 18$ quadcopter thread on rcgroups
(http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1710948) - take a
look at rcgroups for plenty more inspiration.
It also makes use of plenty of other people's work, but most
immediately the processing-serial-android library
(https://github.com/inventit/processing-android-serial/) and the
hubsan X4 and A7105 code from the deviation project
Do you have any advice with this? I've been trying to get it for the past few days but they just aren't staying. Or maybe a different way to attach it to a breadboard.
I have an Arduino Duemilanove. Is this good enough or do I have to also buy the DUE?
the radio chip operates on 3.3v logic, whereas the Arduino Duemilanove operates on 5v.
If you are comfortable (or don't mind becoming comfortable!) with converting the logic levels, or converting the Arduino Duemilanove to 3.3v I think it should work....
Thank you! Do you know how I would go about doing this? I'm sure it says somewhere online
Google 'logic level converter', 'voltage divider' and have a look at NicholasH1's post below. It may also be possible to take your microprocessors life in your hands and rejig it to run at 3.3v - there may be instructions on the arduino.cc site.
I've not done any of the above, so that is about the limit of my helpfulness, sorry!
Tried with arduino nano and no luck ... i used the pins but they dont connect ... should arduino nano had different codes ?
could it work with this a7105 ?
is there a way to control the hubsan with python language ?
yay I have found one ! will try
Is there any way, if possible, to send a gyro reset code via the Arduino. I don't own the remote for the H4, I'm only using a phone. My octocopter is drifting diagonally and I'm pretty sure it's the gyro which is set incorrectly. The copter also spins around and around.
Thanks for this AWESOME tutorial!
I would have to recommend trying to balance it properly first, ie be sure your battery isn't throwing it off, doesn't take much with such little birds. Then bind up and set throttle=0 yaw=0, elevator =7F, aileron=0
delay maybe 20us
repeat that about 5x in a row, if you don't get the blinky lights, try setting yaw to FF in the first line...
If there are two receiver in the same room and only one transmitter, the two receivers will receive a communication ?
How does it work?
Incredible project.
If there are two copters in the same room and only one transmitter, the two copters will be controlled?
How does it work?
When buying the motors do they have to be clockwise/counter-clockwise or is there a way to wire it that makes it rotate a certain direction?
Changing direction on:
DC-motor: switching polarity (+ on - and vice versa)
Three-phaze motor: switch places of two wires
This is cool! I haven't built a custom quadcopter yet, but I have been using these Arduino instructions to control an Estes Syncro / Proto X.
I went ahead and set this up slightly differently--I got it working using 4-wire SPI, rather than 3-wire. This made it a lot easier to interface with the 5v arduinos, and also removed the guesswork from the resistor values. For a Due (or other 3.3v arduinos), 4-wire SPI doesn't require any resistors at all; for an Uno (or other 5v arduinos), a simple voltage divider (11k from MOSI to SPIO, 22k from SPIO to ground) handles writing, and reading (from GPIO1 on the left side of the radio board) doesn't require any resistors.
Three aspects of this took me a while to work out. First, there's commented-out code in the A7105_Setup function that claims to set it into 4-wire mode, but there's an error in it. It writes the value 0b0110 to register 0x0b. This is the correct register, but the wrong bit pattern--the bit pattern should be 0b011001, where the final two bits are 0 for non-inverted output and 1 for enable output. In hex, this value is 0x19. I probably would have caught this sooner, but the error codes in the Hubsan initialization routine all check for specific error flags set to 1...so if all your "read" calls are returning 0, the system thinks initialization has passed.
I added this routine to read the chip's "ID" register. This value is 32 bits long, so I write it into an array of uint8_t variables:
void A7105_ReadChipID(uint8_t chipID[]) {
SPI.transfer(0x46); // 0x40 | 0x06
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
chipID[i] = SPI.transfer(0);
You call it like this:
uint8_t chipID[4];
so i'm working with the Proto X. i'm able to get the lights to stop blinking, that all,
i am geting a ChipID.
The second thing is that the configuration of the sketch in main.ino seemed weird to me too, so I rearranged that--I moved the setup and initialization to a setup() function, and made the while(1) loop body into the entire loop() function. That made more sense to me. Finally, I didn't use the Serial.read value settings that the original author did--I was having enough trouble with Serial changing the timing of things that I decided to just hook up a potentiometer to analog zero and use that for the throttle setting as a proof of concept. That's what worked for me. I haven't used the original author's Processing sketches with the code or with the proto-X.
The entirety of my altered "main.ino" code, then:
void setup() {
delay(2000); // gives two seconds to open serial monitor to see chip id
uint8_t chipID[4];
Serial.print("Chip ID: ");
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
void loop() {
int throttlereading = analogRead(0);
// set global control variables for the quadcopter
throttle = throttlereading / 4; // Scale 0-1023 down to 0-255
rudder = 0x7f; // Midpoint setting
aileron = 0x7f; // Midpoint setting
elevator = 0x7f; // Midpoint setting
int hubsanWait = hubsan_cb();
Once again, note that I altered "initialize" so that it would call A7105_Setup after A7105_Reset, so that the code would read error states correctly.
Hope this helps.
Hey Nick,
Thanks for the help! so for no go :(
One thing I tried printing the id be for and after paring, is this normal?
Id be for paring is all was,
if after paring is,
I was ablet to get woking, using a teensy 3.1 https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/teensy31.html
my testing loop
void loop() {
startTime = micros();
boundcnt = Get_state() >= 8 ? boundcnt + 1 : 0;
hubsanWait = hubsan_cb();
finishTime = micros();
waitTime = hubsanWait - (finishTime - startTime);
startTime = micros();
i allso in hubsan_build_packet() i set,
packet[10] = 0x19; vs 0x64
used this to test the lights and throttle
if( cnt < 100 )
packet[9] = 0x0e; // LEDs on, flip on for the 100 first frames
packet[9] = 0x02; // LEDs off, flips off
packet[2] = 0xaa;
and i have lift off,!!
Thanks for DYI it is great,
i just don't understand why you need the resistor for 20K?
and can you please explain how to connect it to arduino nano/leonardo?
Thanks for the awesome project. I've managed to build it. I am interested in the android processing serial library you've used. I've tweaked your processing code to reverse the controls as they were backwards when using it on a Nook HD. I can't seem to get the app to connect to the Due. Having gone to inventit processing android serial github, i noticed you had had the same issue as well, but have hacked the library to get it working. I was wondered if you might be willing to share your hacked library. Thanks!
For those interested, i've just flown my Hubsan x4 with my laptop using this tutorial. But instead of the DUE i tried to make it work with the Sparkfun Arduino Micro Pro 3.3v which by comparison to the DUE is amazingly tiny, about the double the size of the A7105 radio,
And it seems to work, further testing is of course requiered and i will return with my finding. Now to wait 'till after exam to dig into the coding :P
Thanks for a great guide!
Hi everyone !
Thanks to the awesome work of shinyshez, andy_m and drdanny, i've been able to control my hubsan x4 fpv version with my leap motion controller. Here's the link for the github repository : https://github.com/Isigo/LeapCopter
Bug report and pull request are of course welcome. Soft still buggy, and harsh to read ( have to improve this as well ), and remember that it's a work in progress ;)
That's awesome! Do you have any video of it in action?
For sure ! Got this one (throttle control is still buggy ^^) :
Hi everyone. I've been working with andy_m but I've taken a different approach and used an MPSSE cable to interface directly with the A7105. I've got binding and control working quite reliably. You can find the code here: https://github.com/vahokif/hubsan Also included is an example script that uses an Xbox 360 controller to control the quadcopter. Bug reports/pull requests are welcome.
My previous comment was a bit premature - I have encountered a
number of issues with this method, both with the wiring and the code.
I cannot get 3 wire SPI to work. When there are no resistors, the MOSI
holds the SDIO pin high, so that the MISO channel can't seize it to
transmit the contents of the register back - this is why we have been
reading 0s off the registers, they are just the 0 we are transmitting as
the second part of a read transaction. When I make the line high
impedance, however, the signal is getting garbled, and it is not being
parsed as a command, and this is resulting in garbage output - the 128s
and the 196s.
Then, with 4-wire SPI, it took a bit of
troubleshooting - in shez's code there is a commented out line saying to
write 0x06 to register 0x0b - this is incorrect, due to an unclear
piece of phrasing in the chip spec. In fact, we need to write 0x19 to
register 0x0b.
My current issue is that I am having problems getting the binding to work. I shall be putting some hours into that over the weekend and early next week.
I am currently refactoring the code and adding a
number of diagnostic functions, including a sniffer and a shouter for
testing packet transmission (I have two of these rigs, and am using each of them
to debug the other). I will let you know as and when I get somewhere. I
am developing this as part of an academic research project and we are against a deadline, so it would
be reasonable to expect some progress in the next two weeks. It is my intent to pull all this together into an arduino library, to make it easy for people who want to hack about with these chips to do so without having to mess about with raw opcodes and things.
Shez- if you are reading this, ignore my earlier messages, and thank you for all your hard work!
Hi Andy & Shez,
First off, thanks for the excellent instructable. I think you saved me many days of trial & error.
I am using a Due & XL7105 module with an off-the-shelf Estes Dart (aka Hubsan X4) device. I succeeded in getting the 3-wire SPI interface working with more or less the A7105 code from Shez. However I did figure out how to overcome a few problems on the way. Here are some notes on what I did:
- you do need to experiment, perhaps radically, with the resistor. I was able to make 2.2K (Red-Red-Red) and 4.7K work, but not 10K or 22K.
- timing is quite critical I think, so adding Serial.println debug statements was interfering with the binding. I tried using a circular buffer and delaying output for a while, but even the character processing to stuff the buffer could cause binding to fail. Often the quad would think it was bound (lights solid) but the code would not recognize this and would fall back to a lower state. Perhaps a LED tied to a Due pin that switches on when state is 8 or above would be a good idea? In the end I found the binding part was working anyway and my problems were elsewhere.
- throttle values below 10 (YMMV) will not make the motors spin
- there is a safety feature in the Quad software: nothing will happen unless the throttle is brought down to zero and held there for a bit (say 80 times round the loop) before raising it
Here is some code to insert before the "hubsanWait = hubsan_cb();" line in the loop to test:
rudder = aileron = elevator = 0x7F; // midpoints?
if (boundcnt >= 80 && throttle < 12) throttle += 1;
if (loopcnt > 280) throttle = 0; // end test
loopcnt += 1;
boundcnt = state >= 8 ? boundcnt + 1 : 0;
and, of course, declare loopcnt and boundcnt as "int"s and init to 0 before the while loop. You may need to play with the constants to get this to work. Remember to tie the beast down before you start testing!
I had quite a time trying to solder the tiny castellated connectors. After I wrecked my first module I upgraded my soldering skills using youtube, learned how to do reflow soldering by hand, and got myself some finer solder & wire (22 AVG). How did you manage to get such beautiful neat connections?
Raspberry Pi's also have 3.3V SPI, I think, and they cost about the same as a Due, so I may rewrite the code to work with one of those later on. Will post if I do.
Now to start in on the camera business!
Oh, thank you!
Now you have said that, it makes complete intuitive sense. I have liftoff now, revisions pushed to my git.
I was lucky with the soldering - one of the people on my team is an ex R&D bod, so we left it all to him. I do not envy you.
Hey Andy, any chance of open source? Github?
But of course! :-) I shall put a link to the repo at the end of this post.
I have managed to get the thing to bind - it is not yet taking commands, but I think this is because the timing and sequencing which the arduino is giving out does not match with the timing and sequencing of the Tx.
The code here is a bit of a dog's dinner - it is half refactored, and half commented - my style is a bit different from shez's, and I have been putting it all in my own, which is a lot more verbose. Things which it might be useful to look at include the new functions in a7105.ino include the scanchannels function, which takes an array of channel numbers and tells you what traffic is on each of them (bear in mind that if the ID does not match, you will get no packets or garbled packets) and eavesdrop() which is designed for use with the hubsan protocol.
eavesdrop() scans all the hubsan channels until it finds a Tx which is transmitting prebinding packets, prints the content and timing of those to serial, and extracts the forthcoming session ID and switches over to that. Once this has happened, you can turn on the quad and allow it to bind. You can then scroll back over and see the content and spacing of all the binding and control packets. It's quite fun, with autoscroll on, to twiddle the controls and see the packet contents change.
Anyway - the code is at https://github.com/andy-may/a7105
Enjoy, and let me know how you get on!
Hey Andy,
Sorry i've not been about to help, sounds like your doing great work! Glad you got 4 wire SPI working should be more reliable for others, looks like my spec reading skilz aren't as mad as they could be!
Also - it's not your spec reading skills, those bits are actually in the wrong order in the spec. I only spotted it after about 4 hours of staring blankly at the page. :)
Hi Shez,
Good to have you back! Yes - the 4-wire SPI seems to be much happier. I cracked out an oscilloscope, and the signal degradation on the high-impedence bit of the 3-wire was so bad that nothing was getting through.
Anyway - there seems to be some stuff which is different between the V1s and the V2s, as detailed here -
Anyway, the binding is going great, and it's sitting in the data cycle very happily, but the motors still won't start. What worked for you, can I ask? By my watch, the Tx is sending packets about every 6ms, and I have tried fiddling with the timing up and down a bit, and changing the packet payload to what a V2 would expect.
Sorry to be badgering you to death, by the way!
See my comment in response to Johannes above - bear in mind that this is a work in progress!
Good luck with your project! What cool things are you trying to do?
I managed to get it bind. But it doesn't bind if the while(1) of the main.ino code is commented, and it binds if it is not commented. I don't understand that fact, since there's nothing related to binding in this parT. I must be wrong and have misunderstood that piece of the code...
The binding is all done by hubsan_cb(), line 33.
Sorry for leaving that bit commented - I have been having one arduino eavesdropping, and the other binding, so I just keep commenting and uncommenting.

I have 50,000,000 (integer, string) pairs in a text file. The integers are times in milliseconds, so are 13 digits long (e.g. 1337698339089).
The entries in the text file are like this:
There can be identical entries.
I want to sort the entries on the integers (in ascending order) preserving any duplicate integers and preserving the (integer, string) pairs. The approach I have taken is leading to memory errors, and so I'm looking for alternative approaches.
My approach is something like this (using some pseudo-code):
// declare TreeMap to do the sorting
TreeMap<Double, String> sorted = new TreeMap<Double, String>();
// loop through entries in text file, and put each in the treemap:
for each entry (integer, string) in the text file:
Random rand = new Random();
double inc = 0.0;
while (sorted.get(integer + inc) != null) {
inc = rand.nextDouble();
sorted.put(integer + inc, string);
I am using random numbers here to ensure that duplicate integers can be entered in the treemap (by incrementing them by a double between 0 and 1).
// to print the sorted entries:
for (Double d : sorted.KeySet()) {
System.out.println(Math.round(d) + "|" + sorted.get(d));
This approach works but breaks down for 50,000,000 entries (I think because the treemap is becoming too large; or possibly because the while loop is running for too long).
I would like to know what approach more experienced programmers would take.
Many thanks!

|2 Teaspoon
|Worcestershire sauce
|2 Teaspoon
|Garlic powder
|2 Teaspoon
|Beef bouillon
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (stock)
|To Taste

|To Taste
To protect the undercut (tenderloin) of the roast from cooking too quickly or drying out arrange fat bacon slices or sliced fresh pork fat over this section and tie in place with twine.
Arrange roast fat-side up in a shallow roast pan and spread lean surfaces with a mixture of mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
Sprinkle with garlic powder and roast at 325F about 20 to 25 minutes per pound for rare (140F); 25 to 30 minutes for medium (160F); 30 to 35 minutes for well done (170F).
Keep warm for 20 minutes or so before carving.
Scrape meat drippings into a small skillet and skim off the fat.
Measure drippings and add half as much bouillon.
Simmer until slightly reduced in quantity.
Taste and season if necessary.
Just before serving, add the juices collected in the meat platter; pour into a warm sauce boat.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel firstname.lastname@example.com The Georgia Association of Water Professionals recently awarded David Blackstock, chief operator of the W.B. Casey Water Reclamation Facility, it's 2009 District 3 (metro Atlanta) Wastewater Plant Top Operator (Top Ops) Award. The statewide water utility association also recognized three Clayton Water Authority facilities as being in complete compliance with state discharge requirements for no less than eight years. The water authority was recognized during the state association's recent Spring Conference in Macon. Bryan Wagoner, communications director for the association, said Blackstock's honor represents the third year in a row a Clayton employee has received the award, a first for any water authority in the state. "No one facility has nominated three Top Ops from a single authority," Wagoner said. "On average, we have 18 [operators] selected statewide from a potential pool of hundreds. The bar is set fairly high. It is actually someone who stands out as an outstanding operator, as far as their stewardship of the environment, their professionalism, and how efficiently they run their facility." Jim Poff, Clayton's water reclamation manager, nominated Blackstock for the award. Poff said Blackstock, a water authority employee for 21 years, created the preventative maintenance program for the Casey Water Reclamation Facility in Jonesboro. He added that other facilities in the state have tried to emulate the program. "He wrote the program from scratch," said Poff. "It's very important in these times, because there is very little money for capital improvements. If you do the proper preventative maintenance, you reduce your down time, and increase the life of your assets." Blackstock said he is honored and "surprised" by the award. "It's a really great award," he said, " ... because the other two [Clayton operators] that have received this award are like me. They are really conscious of their work. They're just not here to get a check or to get by. They are here to help the environment as well." In addition to Blackstock's award, the water authority's Shoal Creek Water Reclamation Facility, William J. Hooper Water Production Facility, and Terry R. Hicks Water Production Facility were all recognized for having "platinum" compliance. All three have been in continual, 100 percent compliance with state discharge requirements for five years or more. The Shoal Creek, Hooper, and Hicks plants have been 100 percent compliant for 12, 11, and 8 years, respectively. Wagoner said to be 100 percent compliant, facilities must keep heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, bacteria, and other particulate matter in the water to a minimum, and that 12-year compliance is a feat "less than five" facilities in the state have achieved. Poff said the water authority's performance boils down to the work of its employees. "We're thrilled that we're getting recognition for the high quality employees we have," he said. "You can buy the best equipment in the world, but it all comes down to the employees who operate that equipment."

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 5/28/12
I received a few emails since the post yesterday in which I broke down the rushing of the Pittsburgh Steelers running backs by direction and was asked if I could post the stats of each running back by direction and down from 2011. I compiled the stats of just Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman below as there really is no reason to do Mewelde Moore, Jonathan Dwyer and John Clay as they all combined for 48 carries total. Both Mendenhall and Redman finished with a 52% and 53% success rate respectively. To reiterate what makes a play a successful play, if a back gains 40% of the yardage needed Read more [...]

I am just curious. Kinnley is my third amazing little baby, but every baby is different in development. I started my first at about 3 1/2 months and my second at about 4 months. Kinnley will be a little over 3 months old come Thanksgiving and I was thinking about giving her some mashed potatoes (no seasonings or butter of course!). When will you start or have you already?
When will you introduce solids?
Posted 11/15/2012
4 months.

Nothing until 6 months

When my lil man is still hungry after breastmilk, though that may not be for a while. I was blessed in the milk making department.
Posted 11/15/2012
Hippo, but if you're going to do mashed potatoes, make sure you make them yourself, with breastmilk (or formula).

Posted 11/15/2012
I wasn't going to start until 6 months, but my baby had to be formula fed and his ped said she wants me to start him at 4 months because starting formula fed babies later tends to lead to picky eating habits. Makes sense, since they're not getting the different tastes like breast fed babies.
Posted 11/15/2012
My lo doesn't shows signs of being interested yet but I think I am going to start cereal/oatmeal next month.want to see if it will help with reflux keeping things down and getting used to spoon. Ped said to start at 4mo. But I've been blessed in milk department so when she increases my supply does she drinks. @ 5 oz now. As for pureed foods I'm probably going to wait till 6 month or she shows signsof wanting it.
Posted 11/15/2012
We will probably wait until 6 months...We wont be doing any grains or gluten (family history of Celiac ) or corn (GMO). We will start with avocado, egg yolk (it's the whites that cause allergies) maybe some liver or pureed meats for iron and fats. I will also be making yogurt from my breast milk reserves. By 8 months, we will slowly add in more veggies starting with sweet potatoes, green beans, broccoli, carrots, spinach. By 9-12 months we will add legumes, cheeses and fruits. I plan on continuing to pump so that LO can still be drinking breast milk until at least 18 months....hopefully 24 months.

Wow! What a great promotion.
Sent from the iMore App
Apple has confirmed on its Japanese website that the now annual "Lucky Bag" New Year sale will return for 2014 on January 2. For one day only, Apple will be hosting discounts on products for Japanese customers, but the highlight is the 36,000 Yen Lucky Bag, which will be available again in limited quantities.
There's no telling what will be in each bag, but Apple has been known to throw in some big ticket items such as MacBooks and iPads, as well as smaller items and Apple swag. There's likely to be throngs of people lining up to snag these at Japanese Apple Stores, but for anyone over there who just wants a good deal, the online store will also be participating.
We'll have to wait until January 2 for reports of what lucky Japanese Apple fans pick up in their bags, but if you've ever participated in a previous sale, we'd love to hear what you got in yours!

Laurel's roommate, Payton Skky, is also a believer and a welcome friend. Too soon, though, a suddenly insecure Laurel falls under the influence of her suitemate Jewels. It wouldn't be so bad, except Jewels is prejudiced against African-American Payton, cruel to her own roommate Anna, and absolutely obsessed with the sorority rush.
When Laurel decides to rush the Alpha gams with Jewels, she has some choices to make about her personal conduct, her true friendships, and her gymnastics future. Will Laurel come to realize her true identity in Christ? Will she see the right path before it's too late? Will she look to God for strength and wisdom to make the tough call when the time comes?

Rebecca Minkoff Unveils New Site
Rebecca Minkoff unveiled a fully redesigned site and e-commerce experience today. The new look is very editorial and sleek. Some new features include one-step checkout, enhanced zooming capabilities and a collections section.
"Content, social media and commerce come together to provide a full 360 view into the brand for the consumer. The entire look and feel was based around that philosophy. It's about telling the story to the consumer in an integrated fashion," Minkoff told WWD. She added that the company will soon offer a fully optimized experience for mobile devices.
The site redesign comes in addition to the NYC flagship store slatted for Fall 2013.
About Rebecca Minkoff:
An industry leader in accessible luxury handbags, accessories, footwear and apparel, Rebecca Minkoff's playful and subtly edgy designs can be spotted around the world on young women and celebrities alike.
After developing an affinity for design while in the costume department in high school, Rebecca Minkoffmoved to New York City at only 18 years old to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion designer.
In 2001, Rebecca designed a version of the "I Love New York" t-shirt as part of a five-piece capsule collection, which appeared on The Tonight Show and became an overnight sensation.
In 2005, Rebecca designed her first handbag, which she soon dubbed the "Morning After Bag," a.k.a. the "M.A.B." This iconic bag ignited Rebecca's career as a handbag designer and inspired her "downtown romantic"-themed designs in the years to come. Rebecca's success was further enhanced by the support of her brother and the company's CEO and co-founder, Uri Minkoff, who helped usher in and pioneer the company's industry-leading social media efforts.
After four years of designing statement-making handbags and accessories with her trademark leathers, studs and edgy hardware, Rebecca returned to her roots of apparel design and introduced her first ready-to-wear collection in 2009.
Today, Rebecca Minkoff has developed into a global lifestyle brand with a wide range of accessories, footwear, apparel, handbags and jewelry as well as men's leather goods under the label Ben Minkoff. The brand is distributed in over 900 stores worldwide, and on March 1, 2012, Rebecca opened her first free-standing boutique in Tokyo. In 2011, she won industry recognition when she was awarded the Breakthrough Designer Award from the Accessories Council. Rebecca is an active member of the CFDA and supports multiple philanthropies including Jessica Seinfeld's non-profit, Baby Buggy.

ReMax of Texas, local realtors involved in lawsuits
Lawsuits filed in Harris, Nueces counties
CORPUS CHRISTI - Two local real estate brokers and a franchise license are involved in lawsuits filed in October in Harris and Nueces counties.
Houston-based ReMax of Texas on Oct. 12 filed a lawsuit in Harris County against Tim Teas, his business partner Chris Duff and their companies, Act Metro Properties and Act Padre Island Homes. ReMax claims Teas and Duff, who owned 49 percent of the companies, lost the ReMax franchise on Sept. 22 after failing to pay fees, which as of Oct. 12 were nearly $426,500.
A judge granted ReMax's request for a temporary injunction demanding Teas stop using the ReMax name in any course of business and re-assign two telephone numbers to the Houston company.
Teas filed a lawsuit on Oct. 14 in Nueces County against ReMax, its co-owner Richard Filip, its attorney Charles El-Moussa and Gene Guernsey, a local broker and owner of Apartment Stores of Texas/Gene Guernsey & Associates alleging defamation, breach of contract and fraud, misrepresentation and negligence. Teas claims Guernsey, one of his former agents, was fired on Sept. 22 but continued using the Metro Properties name in the course of business.
Teas' also claims in his suit that Guernsey, along with El-Moussa and Filip, also made defamatory statements during a Sept. 29 meeting of Act Metro agents, attempted to recruit those agents to his company and interfered with business relations, according to Teas' lawsuit. Cathy Clark, Teas' attorney, declined to comment. Calls this week to Teas were not returned.
Guernsey declined to comment. John Bell, his attorney, said the lawsuit was without merit. He said Guernsey's contractor agreement, which allowed use of the ReMax name locally, was unjustly terminated.
The response to Teas' lawsuit states Guernsey was in compliance with all terms and conditions of the contract when it was terminated and he denies all allegations of defamation. Guernsey also has filed counterclaims stating he is owed commissions from at least three sales before he was fired.
Tony Canales, a local attorney representing ReMax of Texas, filed a motion to move Teas' lawsuit to Harris County, where the first lawsuit was filed. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for Jan. 26 in Nueces County.
"These are two lawsuits talking about the same thing," Canales said. "Since we filed the lawsuit first, we're asking that it all be taken care of in Harris County."
Guernsey has been ranked the highest producing ReMax agent in Corpus Christi and has been among the state's highest producing ReMax agents multiple times. In March, he once again was named the city's top producer.
Since the lawsuit, Guernsey continues to operate Apartment Stores of Texas/Gene Guernsey & Associates. Teas has changed the names of his companies to Metro Properties and Padre Island Homes, the original names before acquiring the ReMax franchise.
In a recent news release, Teas said the name change was part of a rebranding initiative. The original names more accurately reflect the local real estate market, he said.

Seagate Central with 2TB capacity
Are you worried about your documents, precious photos, music library, and data stored in The Cloud? Ever thought about how secure your personal information is when it is all sitting in a data center somewhere? Instead of trusting your stuff to someone else's cloud, how about putting it in your own cloud?
Nemo's 2012 Holiday MyMac Gift Guide for Techies
Backup and archive. Daily. No exceptions.
If you are reading this and you are not fully backed up using Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, stop immediately and order a new external multi-interface bus-powered backup drive or two. Keep one drive handy for daily updates, and the other offsite for safety and security. Email the G-Men on the MyMac Podcast if you need advice on how to use Time Machine and the other two backup applications.
I have been using and testing OWC's Mercury On-The-Go Pro Triple Interface acrylic-encased FireWire 800/400 + USB 3 SSD and HDD solutions for several months, and I recommend them highly. They are versatile, sturdy, affordable, efficient, fast, and have the best guarantee in the business. Obtain an OWC unit with more storage than you think you need, because soon you will be glad you have the extra capacity. Get an SSD if max speed is your top priority, or choose an HDD if cost and max GB are paramount.

Get backup 2.2.5
Company: Belight software
Price: $39,95 MSRP, with online discounts available
As its name imply, Get Backup is a backup program. But it also serves a dual role as a sync application. Basically, the interface is devised in two for those two purposes. There is an icon at the top right that looks like a two way arrow that can be used to go from one mode to the other. The window then "waves" throughout a 3D animation to reveal the second mode. Each options can also be reached via the application menu bar in the "Backup" menu or the "Synchronize" one. I will examine each one separately as they are very unalike in terms of options and usage.

We've all been admonished time and time again about the importance of backing up our data. Problem is, even if you do finally seize the initiative to finally begin a regular backup regimen, there's a bewildering array of backup solutions out there, making it difficult to choose the one that's best for you. For the severely cash-strapped among us, the choices become a bit simpler; you'll be pleased to know there are at least two options from which you can choose that are not only extremely affordable, but can be relied upon to save your bacon when disaster strikes.

Say you're working on a long-term project in which you're creating and saving a number of different files over time, and you want to make sure you have those files copied to a back up source after you've saved them to a specified folder. Well, if you don't already have a backup system in place to do this, you can create backup folder in less than ten minutes by following the steps below. This workflow will instantly backup items you save or put into a specified folder.
1. Open up Automator (in your Applications folder.) A new action workflow window will open up.
2. Click on the Finder actions located in the Applications folder (left column) of Automator. Next, click on the Copy Finder Items action in the middle column.
Personal Backup X

Company: Intego
Price: $59.95
I have been using Personal Backup since version 1.2.1 back in 1998 when it was under the auspices of another software company with OS 8.6, 9 and 9.1. When they transferred Personal Backup over to Intego, I looked forward to using the version that was being developed for OS X.
When I finally upgraded to OS X, it was about the same time that Intego finally released Personal Backup for OS X. So when I arranged to review Backup, I was familiar with it and its operation. When I set up Personal Backup (v10.0.2), I was impressed with the look that Intego had given it for OS X and the drag and drop capability that was now in the program.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Patty Mills was an observer for most of San Antonio's first five games of the season. When he finally got an opportunity for an extended playing time, he responded in a big way.
Duncan powers Spurs past Kings 97-86
Tim Duncan had 23 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks to lead the Spurs to a 97-86 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night. But Mills was hailed as the difference maker after he was 8 for 9 from the field while scoring 18 points.
"He was real big; he helped us get this win," coach Gregg Popovich said of Mills. "We needed points from other players and Patty got it done for us."
San Antonio played without Stephen Jackson, who was out with the flu. Matt Bonner also rested, and Tony Parker and Duncan weren't feeling well either.
Enter Mills, who had played a little more than 21 minutes and scored just six points on the season coming into the game. But the seldom-used point guard filled in frequently for Parker and helped the Spurs defeat the Kings for the ninth straight time in Sacramento.
"This is professional basketball, you have to be ready whether you are told or not," Mills said. "I knew I had to be ready because we had some guys who weren't feeling very well."
Mills had a big impact in the third quarter when the Kings outscored the Spurs 29-22 to pull within one heading into the fourth. Mills subbed in for Parker and hit a 3-pointer and had five points.
Mills kept up the momentum in the final period, making three shots, one of them a 3, and scoring seven points in helping the Spurs pull away for the victory.
"Tonight I was in the pace of the game and trying to bring energy," Mills said.
Kawhi Leonard had 11 points for the Spurs, who haven't lost in Sacramento in five years. Parker never got going and finished with five points, six assists and four turnovers in 24 minutes. Still trying to recover from a sore back, Manu Ginobili had seven points in 25 minutes.
The Kings shot 35 percent, including a 3-for-16 performance from long range.
"As you know with this team — San Antonio — they turn miscues into something that's going to be a positive for them," Sacramento coach Keith Smart said.
Marcus Thornton and Jason Thompson scored 17 apiece for the Kings, who had won two straight. DeMarcus Cousins, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, was in foul trouble much of the game and finished with 14 points and nine rebounds in 23 minutes. He went 4 for 14 from the field.

Elizabeth Dianne McLeod says her husband Stanley pleaded with mortgage debt collectors, explaining that his heart problems were so serious that a helicopter once had to be called in to airlift him to a hospital.
In response, one collector allegedly mocked him, leaving a message on his answering machine, suggesting: "Why don't you have that helicopter pick you up and bring that payment to the office."
Months later, McLeod, 57, was dead and the mortgage servicing company, his widow alleges, is to blame.
Elizabeth Dianne McLeod, of Keystone, Fla., is suing Green Tree Servicing, LLC, for unspecified damages. She claims the firm repeatedly made harassing debt collection phone calls that, she says, ultimately led to her sick husband's death. (Listen to messages McLeod says were left by Green Tree employees on the couple's answering machine here and here.) Stanley McLeod died of problems related to his heart condition in December, 2005.
Green Tree treated her husband "worse than any human deserves to be" treated, she said Monday through her lawyer.
A spokesman for Green Tree, which is based in St. Paul, Minn., declined to comment on the lawsuit, saying that the company does not comment on pending litigation.
The McLeods fell on hard times in 2002, when a heart attack forced Stanley McLeod to leave his job as an alarm technician at a Sears store and instead rely on government disability benefits.
By 2003, the Keystone, Fla., couple, contending with Stanley McLeod's medical bills and a lower income, began sending some of their mortgage payments in late. Each time they did, Green Tree, their mortgage servicing company, would call to demand payment, said McLeod's lawyer, Billy Howard, of the Florida personal injury law firm Morgan & Morgan.
By 2005, Howard said, the situation had grown considerably worse: According to the law suit, Green Tree was calling on back-to-back days; placed calls to Stanley's McLeod's neighbor, brother and grandson; and once called at least nine times in one day.
McLeod's outstanding debt, Howard said, was just under $700.
"If somebody tells you they don't have the money in the morning, the only reason you call them back the same day is to harass them," Howard said.
Elizabeth Dianne McLeod said her husband experienced chest pains, spikes in blood pressure and heavy breathing after many of the phone calls.
"The unrelenting calls visibly (were) destroying his body," she said.
Originally filed in 2006, Elizabeth Dianne McLeod's lawsuit could be heard by a court this year after earlier efforts by Green Tree to settle the dispute through arbitration proceedings, Howard said.
Abusive practices by debt collectors are a common complaint among consumers, especially as many recession-battered Americans find themselves behind on mortgage, car or credit card payments and other debts.
Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Commission reported to Congress that it receives more than 70,000 complaints about debt collectors each year, more than about any other industry.
The trade group for debt collectors, ACA International, said it takes consumer complaints seriously.
"ACA International and its members do not in any way condone any illegal or unethical behavior or tactics," said spokesman John Nemo, who said that Green Tree is not among ACA's 5,000 members.

But I do believe that there is a road to renaissance, especially if we make the right decisions in the wake of the IPCC's latest warnings. We have to nurture clean energy industries and strategies, and accelerate them as though mobilising for war. Emerging experience in Germany and elsewhere gives increasing credibility to the view that modern economies can be powered on a mix of renewables. My parents' generation amazed themselves at how fast they could mobilise tanks, fighters, bombers and warships. If we were to repeat that level of application, we could avert much of the horror that the IPCC warns of.
So far we have found ways to collectively bury our heads in the sand in the face of dire scientific warnings. If we fail to heed the report and all its implications, the next great crisis of capitalism will force us to act. It won't be possible to ignore lights that go out and tankers that fail to arrive.

The Australian National Maritime Museum will showcase a new attraction this summer, featuring iconic roofline as canvass for new light show that depicts the history of migration to Australia and the compelling stories behind the immigrants' journey to the 'Land Down Under.' Premiering on Australia Day, Waves of Migration is a thought-provoking eight-minute animated light show that weaves together Australia's rich tapestry of migration stories, encouraging audiences to reflect on the current immigration debate.
Chinese migration at Waves of Migration
Waves of Migration follows the journey of a boats, across oceans and cultures, through the passage of time. It depicts a fascinating array of personal stories from British convicts and early settlers, to Jewish refugees and displaced persons from war-torn Europe, to Ten Pound Poms, Vietnamese boat people and seaborne asylum seekers from Afghanistan.
Opening and closing with the image of an indigenous fisherman in Botany Bay, the light show acknowledges that Indigenous Australians are the only people to have witnessed all the waves of migration to this country, making it the multicultural country it is today.
The significant periods in Australia's immigration history are depicted through vivid illustrations, including:
- The departure of Endeavour from England in 1768 under the command of Lieutenant James Cook to observe the transit of Venus and search for the legendary Great South Land;
- The voyage of the convict transport ship Charlotte in 1787, part of the First Fleet that established the NSW penal colony in 1788;
- The groups of Chinese labourers bound for the Australian gold fields onboard clipper ships like the Young America, departing Hong Kong in 1857;

'Designed by award-winning projection specialists The Electric Canvas, Waves of Migration provides the Museum with an exciting opportunity to explore the use of digital projections to present contemporary maritime topics in a very engaging and accessible way,' said Australian National Maritime Museum Director, Kevin Sumption.
'It is the first time the Museum's facade has been used as an extension of the exhibition space. We are literally bringing the inside out.'
'We hope the light show will demonstrate that our nation has, and continues to be, shaped by migrants,' he said.
The light show is supported by a dedicated website Waves of Migration with links to stories from the museum's rich collection and a facility for people to share their own immigration stories.
One such story is that of the Lederer family's escape from Nazi-occupied Austria to Australia. Valerie Lederer's treasured keepsake, the key to her family home in Vienna, is inspiration for one of the scenes in the light show.
Other stories include that of 17-year-old Afghan, Hedayat Osyan, who left behind his mother and two siblings in 2009 to escape persecution by the Taliban. Travelling first to Mayalsia then Indonesia, Hedayat finally arrived on Christmas Island after being rescued by the Royal Australian Navy when the boat he was travelling in began to sink. He now lives in Sydney.
Another is that of the Lu family who travelled 6,000 kilometres from Vietnam to Australia on the fishing boat Tu Do, now part of the museum's collection, guided only by a compass and school desk map!
