BlueLounge Refresh charging station
Simple, expandable using your own cables, keeps everything tidy
The top is only held in place by gravuity, it is expensive
Charging must be this year's buzzword. We've seen increasing numbers of charging stations, docks and wireless solutions as the accessories manufacturers realise we are all walking around with a number of gadgets that need charging, and have a house full of chargers and cables.
The BlueLounge Refresh looks to keep things clean, by bringing all this charging under control. The premise is simple: combine all your device charging into one unit and power it from a single plug socket.
To achieve this, the Refresh has two major parts. The base is a hollow wedge-shaped box, with a DC input on the back and six cables on the inside. These internal cables give you 2x iPod/iPhone, Micro-USB, Mini-USB and two standard female USB connections.
The base itself is constructed from plastic, but feels solid enough. It has rubber feet to give you a reasonably secure setting once it is sited on a desk. Inside a single green LED will confirm that it is connected to the power supply.
The second component of the Refresh is a rubberised black plastic plate that sits in the top of the base. This provides the platform on which your charging devices will sit, with the tactile finish providing enough friction to stop them sliding around. A cut-out section at the bottom of this plate allows the relevant cables to come through from the base to charge your selected devices.
It really is as simple as that. You plug it all in, select the correct cables for your chosen devices, place the top plate back on and connect your gadgets. Voila! You are charging without the usual tangle of wires.
The two female USB connections give you scope for selecting any other bespoke connections you need, for example if you have a phone that needs something different, you can simply connect the cable you'd normally use with your PC, bearing in mind that unless you have spare cables, you'll have to disconnect it to sync with your PC. It is also worth checking that your device will charge from USB and not just exchange data.
We tried a number of different devices, with three being a comfortable number given the space to rest them on the top plate. All the devices we tried charged without any problems, although potentially there is the chance that if you draw too much (by connecting too many devices) then some might not charge.
Once setup and sitting securely on a desk or table, the BlueLounge Refresh looks tidy enough. Pick it up and the spare cables inside will rattle around a bit and the top plate isn't held in place by anything other than gravity.
There is little to dislike about the BlueLounge Refresh. It looks smart enough and does the job it sets out to do. Once you have a charger of this type, you'll probably wonder how you lived with the mess beforehand.
It is expensive though, coming in at £70, which sounds like a lot for a plastic box with six wires inside.

GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, December 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ and TASE: CIMT) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a cash distribution of NIS 1.60 (approximately US$0.43) per share on outstanding ordinary shares, representing a total distribution of approximately $4.0 million.
The distribution is payable on February 4th, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 17th, 2013.
This distribution will be made from paid-in capital, following a court approval that was given in April 2012, allowing the distribution of up to $10M to Cimatron shareholders, and following a ruling that was recently obtained from the Israeli Tax Authority. Further distributions under the said court approval and tax ruling, if any, are subject to subsequent Board approval of specific payments out of the total potential distribution amount.
Concurrently with the announcement of the cash distribution, the Company also announces today that its Board of Directors has resolved to delist its shares from the TASE. Consequently, Cimatron intends to apply to the TASE and request that TASE initiate the delisting process. The delisting in Israel will not affect Cimatron's continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the United States.
"Our confidence in continued profitability and positive cash flows going forward, together with the conclusion of the regulatory process, allow us to unlock value to our shareholders. We will examine further distributions subject to our cash needs and market conditions," remarked Yossi Ben-Shalom, Cimatron's Chairman of the Board of Directors. "We have decided to delist from the TASE as we realized that such listing added no significant value to our shareholders. We will continue being listed and traded on NASDAQ as usual," Concluded Mr. Ben Shalom.
Under applicable Israeli law, the delisting of Cimatron's shares from trading on the TASE will take place 90 days after the date of this announcement and the publication thereof in Israeli newspapers which is expected to be on or about April 1, 2013. During the interim period, Cimatron's ordinary shares will continue to be traded on the TASE.
Cimatron will announce the exact date of its TASE delisting when it becomes available.

Dragons Homer Twice, Win 8-5
Dayton, Ohio—Garrett Boulware hit a three-run home run and Luis Gonzalez added a two-run shot to lead the Dayton Dragons to an 8-5 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps on Friday night. A crowd of 8,062 attended the game at Fifth Third Field as the Dragons snapped a five-game losing streak.
After struggling to score runs on their road trip that ended Thursday night, the Dragons came out hitting on Friday. They matched a season high with 12 hits including 10 over the first three innings. They built an 8-1 lead over the first four innings, increasing their home run total for the year from two to four.
The Dragons took the lead in the first when Brian O'Grady singled, stole second, and scored on Gavin LaValley's double to the fence in center. In the second, the Dragons extended their lead to 3-0. Boulware started the inning with a line drive hit to left, and one batter later, Gonzalez drilled a home run to left to give the Dragons a three-run lead. It was Gonzalez's first homer of the year.
After West Michigan scored a single run in the top of the third, the Dragons answered with three in the bottom of the inning. Ronald Bueno and Jimmy Pickens each singled to start the inning, and Boulware then launched a long home run to left field to make it 6-1. It was Boulware's first homer of the year.
The Dragons added two more in the fourth on a two-out, two-run triple by Avain Rachal to make it 8-1. West Michigan scored one in the fifth, two in the seventh, and one in the ninth to close out the scoring.
Dragons starting pitcher Seth Varner (3-0) worked the first six innings, allowing 12 hits but only two runs with no walks and five strikeouts to earn the win. Varner has not walked a batter in 17 innings this season while striking out 17.
The Dragons 12-hit attack included a three-hit night for Jimmy Pickens. Pickens has gone 5 for 7 over the last two nights to raise his batting average from .171 to .250. Boulware, Gonzalez, and O'Grady each had two hits. O'Grady stole two bases and is 7 for 7 on the year as a base stealer.
West Michigan collected 17 hits in the game, but Dragons pitchers did not walk a batter, and the Dragons did not commit an error.
Dragons right fielder Aristides Aquino left the game in the third inning, two innings after he was hit by a pitch, apparently in the hand or wrist. The injury forced the Dragons to place infielder Ronald Bueno in left field, marking his first game in the outfield over his six-year professional career.
The Dragons (7-9) host the Whitecaps (8-8) in the second game of the series on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. at Fifth Third Field. Mark Armstrong (0-1, 3.75) will pitch for the Dragons against West Michigan's Trent Szkutnik (1-0, 3.75).

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Danny Salazar pitched eight innings of one-hit ball, Michael Bourn doubled in the tiebreaking run in the eighth, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Oakland Athletics 2-1 on Friday night for their third straight win.
Lonnie Chisenhall had three hits, stole a base and scored the go-ahead run for the Indians, who lost eight of 11 before their streak.
Salazar (9-6) walked one and struck out four to end a personal two-game slide. He has a 1.53 ERA over his last four starts, spanning 29 1/3 innings.
Cody Allen got the last three outs for his 21st save.
Edward Mujica (2-3) took the loss.
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Andrew McCutchen hit another homer at Great American Ball Park, and Pittsburgh's rebuilt bullpen was shaky but delivered on Friday night, holding on for a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
The Pirates got their first win of the season in Cincinnati -- they'd been 0-4 -- and finished July with a 17-9 record, the best in the National League.
McCutchen connected off Michael Lorenzen (3-6), and Jung Ho Kang had three doubles and drove in a run to support Jeff Locke (6-6). The left-hander lasted five innings and turned it over to the rebuilt bullpen.
Former Tigers closer Joakim Soria arrived a few hours before the game and slipped into his new role as setup man. He loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh -- a pair of walk got him in trouble -- but snagged Brayan Pena's liner over his head to end the threat
CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Indians have made their third trade this week, sending left-handed reliever Marc Rzepczynski to the San Diego Padres for outfielder Abraham Almonte.
Rzepczynski went 2-3 with a 4.43 ERA in 45 games this season. Earlier this week, the Indians, who recently lost six straight games and fell back in the AL wild-card race, dealt outfielder David Murphy to the Angels and sent slugger Brandon Moss to St. Louis.
The 26-year-old Almonte has split the season between San Diego and Triple-A El Paso, batting .275 with four homers, 35 RBIs and 11 steals in 61 games in the minors. He has spent two stints in the majors, batting .204 in 31 games. The 5-foot-9, switch-hitting center fielder began his career after signing with the Yankees in 2005.
Rzepczynski joined the Indians in 2013, coming over in a trade with St. Louis. He appeared in 73 games last season.
CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Reds have shipped starter Mike Leake to the San Francisco Giants for a pair of prospects, bolstering the defending World Series champions for another playoff run.
San Francisco needed one more solid starter, and got a young pitcher who has been at his best in July. The 27-year-old Leake has won his last four starts, allowing only two earned runs in 30 innings overall.
He threw eight innings of four-hit ball in a 4-0 win in St. Louis on Tuesday.
The Reds got infielder Adam Duvall and right-hander Keury Mella for Leake, who can become a free agent after the season.
The deal came six days after Cincinnati dealt ace Johnny Cueto to Kansas City for three minor league pitchers.
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- The New Jersey Devils have hired Paul Castron as their director of amateur scouting.
General manager Ray Shero announced the move on Friday, just weeks after saying that long-time scouting director David Conte would not be offered a new contract.
Castron will oversee all aspects of the club's amateur scouting operations. He spent the previous 16 seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets, including the last nine as director of amateur scouting.

James Blake and Bon Iver post song
hot damn
Ridiculously good, I think.
what what what this cannot be true guys
EDIT: Eh, the auto-tune is getting old.
This isn't quite what I expected it would be. It's still pretty decent though imo.
now i wanna hear a Blake-Iver-Woon-Jaar-Weeknd-Yorke-Sigur Ros-Burial-Four Tet collab
That's just too much awesome at once. Not sure if it would work lol.
i know, it'd be a complete disaster. still want it to happen though. add Scott-Heron to the mix too. no wait...he's dead :/
AAAAAAAND.... half of sputnik just came.
Meh :/
Pretty decent
not great.
i really liked it. it's all atmosphere.
it's fucking awesome. headphones are a necessity
this is all i care about in the world right now
surprised no one mentioned this yet, but in the video description:
Enough Thunder - Oct 2011
I like the parts that aren't out of key.
it's fucking awesome. headphones are a necessity
listened through my speakers(which are shit ones) and sounded excellent
Loved that
I love this.
James Blake and Justin Vernon should collaborate more often.
Maybe less auto-tune though. Gets old after awhile.
Digging: Titus Andronicus - The Most Lamentable Tragedy
the 2nd half of this gives me chills all over.
and for 'Enough Thunder', most likely an EP from blake?
idk i think it's awesome
Maybe a collab ep?
^ i REALLYYYY HOPE SOOOO
Digging: Jakob - Sines
Something inside me just died
Bout to check this bitch out.
The random dog barking kinda bugs me but other than that this is a great song.
We get it, he's friends with Kanye. Enough of the autotune.
Digging: Darkspace - Dark Space III
fucking great.
Digging: Pastel Lite - Etcetera
fall creek is a town about 15 minutes from here, but he went to memorial high in Eau Claire. weird.
what's up with that BLOOP sound? other than that, it's alright I guess. nothing too special.
sounds awful and kinda ruins the song for me.
"Enough Thunder - Oct 2011" - that mean we're going to get a whole album of this? interesting enough.
Enough Thunder is a new Blake song according to p4k
this will give hipsters unlimited erections, it's like watching jessica alba make out with megan fox for us, regular people.
this is beautiful. exactly what redsky said
wtf sputnik. That's not a mount kimbie sample, that's the hootie owl sound bank that my children's yamaha keyboard makes. I recognize the cheesy 80s drumming too and also the sound right before the hooting from my keyboard. I made a song using the hootie the owl and i was told by my parents that i did not have talent and that i should give up. I cried hard. Now this young cunt shits it on top of a guy crooning in autotune and he's a god. true story/cool story
I thought I was going to either love or hate this. I meh it.
Why? He's right
James Blake is annoying.
it was okay
More of the same from these guys. Still love it though, it's just that it's pretty much a For Emma song with a little James.

Hearing in Norton planned on sewer extension
NORTON — Summit County Public Health (SCPH) officials will hold a public hearing Jan. 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the Norton High School gymnasium on the proposed extension of sewers into some sections of the Nash Heights and Brookside Court area.
Letters dated Jan. 4 were sent to homeowners in that area by Ryan Pruett, supervisor in the Water Quality Program in the SCPH's Division of Environmental Health. Pruett said 255 letters were sent to homeowners in the Nash Heights area and another 14 were sent to residents on Brookside Court.
The letter states that those who receive the letter are "located in the area being considered by the Summit County Public Health as a public health nuisance and thus will be recommended to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an area in need of sewer extension to abate the public health nuisance."
The city had been working toward the sewer extension project but put it on hold last summer after complaints by property owners, who have been concerned with their costs for the project.
At the meeting, Pruett said there will be a short presentation by health district officials, followed by an opportunity for public comment.
He added that the health department has done some preliminary testing of water in the area and has found elevated levels of bacteria. If the SCPH declares the area a public nuisance, the Ohio EPA then will do a study of the area. If the Ohio EPA agrees with that finding, it will then order the city to come up with a plan to extend sewers in the affected area, Pruett said.
For more information, contact Pruett at 330-926-5645.

INSPIRING SPACES via A House in the Hills Carla Fletcher
What used to be an old pub is now a modern four bedroom family home in the inner-city of Melbourne, Australia. The interior has a contemporary feel with various works of art giving character to the spaces. My favorite is the Koala print by Carla Fletcher (top image) with embodies the dining area's overall look. The Le Blanc artwork is an original from Letitia Morris Gallery and adds a lively graphic detail to an otherwise empty corner.

The "end table" is a drinking water drum we got at an auction in PA. We liked the typography on it and it was only $5 so we figured we'd use it somewhere. The chair is from Macy's. The photos behind the chair were taken at a dive bar in Chicago called Rainbo Club which has an old time black white photo booth. We scanned them, printed them and hung them vertically in 4 frames to look like the original photo strip.

VIDEO: Usain Bolt behind the scenes
Jun 27, 2013, 7:24 AM EDT
We're glad Usain Bolt was born with his incredible talent to run, because we're not sure he would have made it as a singer after hearing him belt out a few bars of R. Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly on the set of a new Puma commercial. Bolt can definitely dance though, and showed off his Moonwalk, his Bernie, and his Running Man – which seemed apropos. Watch him goof around in the full video above.

MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Whitney Bernstein and her advisor, Konrad Hughen of the Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry Department, sort and measure cores taken from massive Porites corals in November 2008. After splitting the cores, they used X-ray imagery to reveal annual density bands in the cores that are similar to growth rings in trees. Researchers then often use geochemical analyses to determine the temperature of the water during the time at which each annual band grew.

SBD/4/Facilities Venues
Published December 4, 1997
The city of Dallas has agreed to "kick in an extra" $20M for "road and sewer projects" around the proposed new arena for the Mavericks and Stars, prompting complaints that "subsidies are mushrooming," according to Todd Gillman of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS. A 44-page master agreement, which calls for a 20,500-seat facility with 2,500 club seats and 120 luxury boxes, was presented to the City Council. It includes a provision that $10M of the facility's $230M price tag go back to the team owners as "fees for managing and financing the deal." Gillman writes that "critics" say the "growing costs, payments to team owners and lack of guaranteed development around the arena" make the deal "unacceptable." But Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk said, "Our costs on the arena are $125 million, and they're not going to go a penny higher" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 12/4). In Ft. Worth, Mede Nix reports that Mavs Owner Ross Perot Jr.'s Hillwood Development Corp. will be paid $8.4M as "developer" of the project, while Stars Owner Tom Hicks' firm Hicks Muse Tate & Furst will be paid $1.58M as a "financial fee" (Mede Nix, FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 12/4).

The Space
Need a break from the generic hotels along I-95? Let me give you a room in a real home, with a real mom and morning coffee that begins in my vintage coffee grinder handed down from my grandmother. If you've been on the road for awhile, you can recharge here and get a fresh start again. On your way in and out of town, take note of charming and historic Fredericksburg. Or spend a couple of days learning about the rich Civil War history that grew into a rich cultural and artistic community.
My young adult son and I are honored to offer three private bedrooms on the second floor, each listed separately, and an en suite room on the first floor. This listing is for the queen bedroom shown with exposure from the east and south. You are steps to the bathroom which is sparkling clean and shared with my 20 year old son. Bed is freshly made with cotton linens and towels are provided.
I have a clean, spacious and elegantly furnished colonial home on a street known to Civil War buffs and within walking distance to Old Town Fredericksburg, Mary Washington Hospital and the University of Mary Washington. Parking is plentiful, WiFi is available throughout our 2900 square foot home, and the kitchen and baths are shared. While we don't own a pet we do occasionally pet sit for a friend. And if you like art, I'm active in the local art community, can tell you about the vibrant art scene and sometimes you'll find me making jewelry or painting with my easel set up in a quiet corner of the first floor.
Let us know if you don't have soap or shampoo. We're happy to share. Want coffee? No problem. I'm happy to make you coffee with my French press in the morning. Just let us know what you need.
Our home is located in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood of classic homes directly across the street from the University of Mary Washington. Access to I-95 is two miles away and the train station, offering the southernmost stop on the Virginia Railway Express, is 1.5 miles. Coffee shops, restaurants and unique shops and art galleries are one mile from the house.
Fredericksburg is home to many historic battlefields, museums, art galleries, restaurants, shopping and more. The shopping district will lure you with free two hour parking. If you are without a car, I am happy to transport you to public transportation or the grocery store if our schedules align. I'm a long time resident of Fredericksburg and will gladly share what I know about this beautiful region.
Guest Access
Please feel free to use the entire first floor, outdoor porches, and either of the two bathrooms upstairs.
Interaction with Guests
I'm happy to chat and share my knowledge of the area. I live and work on the premises, but am often out the door very early for exercise.
The Neighborhood
Our center hall brick colonial home is located directly across the street from the University of Mary Washington. With no outlet at the end of my street, it is very quiet and not heavily traveled. Old Town is a nice walk in one direction (about 1/2-3/4 mile) or there is a protected overpass by the college to cross busy Route 1 and get to many restaurants and coffee.

Denise was lovely! She was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. She went the extra mile providing us with knowledge of the town and info pamphlets to help us even more! Little things like refreshments in our room were fantastic extra touches! Would definitely stay with Denise the next time I'm in Fredericksburg!
Denise was incredibly kind and welcoming-- I absolutely plan on staying with her again the next time I'm in Fredericksburg. She gave us extremely helpful recommendations for dinner, and made sure we had food for breakfast the next morning. Everything was perfect, and I wish we could have stayed longer!
We had a wonderful experience with Denise as our host and are so happy she shared her lovely home with us! The house was clean and comfortable and she went above-and-beyond with her accommodations. She was thankfully very flexible with our check-in time as we experienced a grueling traffic delay. Her house served as the perfect location for all of the alumni activities, being very convenient to downtown and the campus. Thank you again, Denise! We look forward to our next visit.
Denise was a delightful host. She was super friendly and easy to communicate with. Her home is beautiful and perfectly located. We really enjoyed our stay. We were in Fredericksburg for a half marathon and Denise went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed and even had bagels laid out in the morning before the race :) We will definitely be back.
Staying with Denise in Fredericksburg was a fantastic choice. The house is beautiful, the room was nice and clean and the bed super comfy. We had a good night's sleep and really enjoyed our stay. Denise was great at communicating before our stay and a fantastic host once we arrived. She gave us a map of the town, recommended a place for dinner and arranged breakfast in the morning. Much appreciated. Would definitely stay with her again. Thanks, Denise! We really liked Fredericksburg and would love to return!
Our experience with Denise was great! She welcomed us into her house and we felt right at home instantly. The house is beautiful and is in a perfect location downtown. Denise was a great host who made us feel at home while respecting our privacy so we could experience Fredericksburg. 5/5
Was just what my husband and I was looking for. We walked to and from old town, didnt check in til 8pm, was able to book the night before new years eve. She met us when we got there showed us where everything was. Was a great stay.

Pak Parl passes controversial bill on snooping
Islamabad: A controversial bill that will give Pakistan`s intelligence agencies sweeping powers to conduct surveillance and collect electronic data has been passed by both houses of Parliament, paving the way for it to be signed into law by the President.
The Fair Trial Bill 2012, which has been criticised by rights groups for posing a threat to privacy and civil liberties, was passed by the Senate or upper House of Parliament on Friday.
It was passed by the National Assembly or lower House of Parliament on December 20.
Once the President gives his assent, the law will empower intelligence and security agencies to tap phone calls, monitor emails and gather data from SMSs and other means of communication as part of the war on terrorism.
The electronic data gathered by the security agencies will be accepted in court in cases registered under five security-related laws.
Law Minister Farooq Naek told the Senate that once the new law is enacted, all law enforcement and intelligence agencies will be governed by a uniform legal system for collecting evidence that will be admissible in court even if it is collected before the registration of an FIR.
"The law must encourage investigation and intelligence agencies to only collect genuine evidence in accordance with law and thus curb the temptation of planting false and fabricated evidence against individuals in violation of their human rights, due process and civil liberties," he said.
The lower house of parliament had approved the bill only after incorporating more than two dozen amendments proposed by the main opposition PML-N and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, which is part of the ruling coalition led by the Pakistan People`s Party.
During a debate in the National Assembly, Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf gave an assurance that the law was not aimed at ordinary citizens.
"This bill will prove helpful in sending a message to terrorists that the whole country is united against them and accepts their challenge," he said.
Against the backdrop of concerns expressed by political parties and civil society groups, Ashraf said the main purpose of the bill is to eliminate terrorism and it is aimed against "enemies of humanity and terrorists, and not against ordinary citizens".
The Fair Trial Bill was approved by the cabinet in September.
The government has said the bill will allow intelligence and security agencies to use "modern techniques and devices" in investigating cases of terrorism.
The government further said "existing laws neither comprehensively provide for nor specifically regulate use of advanced and modern investigative techniques such as covert surveillance and human intelligence, property interference, wire-tapping and communication interception that are used extensively in other countries, including the US, the UK and India".
Under the law, SMSs, phone calls, emails and audio-visual recordings will be admissible as evidence in court while suspects can be held for six months after a warrant is issued by a provincial High Court at the request of heads of intelligence and security agencies.

Xavi (Barcelona) produces an awesome backheel flick turn to create space v Real Madrid [GIF & Video]
- October 27, 2013
- Comments0
On Saturday Barcelona were victorious in El Clasico, beating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Nou Camp.
There were a few fantastic moments including Alexis Sanchez's wonderful chipped goal.
Another was Xavi's sumptuous control/flick in the centre circle to create space for a pass.
Admittedly his pass was not as precise but that shouldn't take anything away from the incredible backheel flick.

Why is it that some city-owned vehicles have the city license plates and others have the usual license plates that a private citizen would be issued?
Rhonda Banks, Douglas County vehicle supervisor in the treasurer's department, said that state law requires city and county vehicles that perform services that are paid for by fees rather than taxes to have a standard license plate and pay a registration fee similar to private citizens. That means the city vehicles used to perform sewer and water service have normal license plates. The law specifically exempts trash trucks and ambulances, which are primarily paid for by fees. City vehicles that perform services primarily paid for by tax dollars get a special government tag.
