I am a part-time maker, full time nerd. By day, I am a Product Manager at OpenDNS, an amazing company with globally distributed datacenters serving 30 billion DNS queries per day. That's a huge number and even more substantial considering that 1 out of every 100 people connected to the Internet is using the service.
OpenDNS is turning 5 years old and I wanted to build something cool for the office to commemorate the occasion. I wanted to make a beautiful object that would look amazing and would make people think about what we had accomplished. I was also way overdue for an Arduino project.
I love old sci-fi war rooms and power stations with hundreds of gauges. While I would love to build something on the scale of this old Soviet power station, lets start small and then scale up :).
My design goals were:
The world map is from http://www.vectorworldmap.com/. I had to remove some detail before laser etching the map because of how close all of the tiny islands off Alaska and Europe. Laser etching can be done in one of two ways: Raster and vector. While raster mode allows for fill and shading, vector mode etching cannot be beat for detail and sharpness. All of the outlines were converted into hairline vectors in CorelDraw and vector etched at 100% speed, 10% power, 1200dpi.
I found the locations of our data centers on the map and added mounting holes for the LEDs. Since I am using nice 5mm RGB diffused LEDs, I wanted to show them off. Instead of drilling a single big hole, I decided to laser cut a hole for each lead (Red, Anode, Green, Blue). Each hole is 0.5mm in diameter with .75mm spacing between holes. This aligned the leads perfectly and snugly allowing me to attach wires from the back.
The gauges are voltmeters that measure 0-5v DC. I originally planned on replacing the face of the gauges but the stock gauges looked so good I didn't bother. The ambiguity of 0-5 only seemed to add to the overall effect.
I ended up using calipers to measure the gauges and making some fit-test cuts out of cardboard first. To my surprise, the first cut was perfect.
I have been playing with box joints for a little while and really like the contrast of laser charred edges against a light birch face. I got my settings dialed in to the point that I was getting a dovetail-like fit. In fact the boxes you see here are incredibly hard to disassemble.
For this project, I will be assembling and disassembling frequently so I adjusted my settings to make for a looser fit.
The laser cutter at TechShop has an 18″ x24″ bed. This is a great size but scaling the world map to fit in that space with enough room for two rows of gauges left New York and Washington DC so close together that the LEDs would be touching. I needed to scale up.
Since I have 24″ on one end I decided to make the case 23″ x 23″ x 6″. The 23″x6″ sides/top/bottom cut easily. I then split the back into two pieces and the front into three pieces. By keeping the front modular, I was able to permanently glue the sides, top front and bottom front but allow the middle front and back to be removed. Why leave that extra space in the middle? I'm not sure yet but I think there may have to be some rocker switches, buttons and dials added to the panel in the future.
This picture pretty much tells it all. The clamps were probably unnecessary since the finger joints were holding just fine but one can never be too careful. The only part missing from the shot is the Arduino that sits along the bottom along with a breadboard holding two TLC5940 chips. Notice the hole in bottom left for USB cord.
Hot glue used to hold wires in place. I reversed colors (oops) and the common negative/cathode is black for the LEDs.
Tiny butt crimp connectors attach the LED leads to the wires. You'll also notice the red wire taps to attach common anode. Electrical tape is covering up the unused green and blue pins.
Arduino and breadboard are attached to the bottom of the case using foam tape.
I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Currently sitting at my desk at OpenDNS HQ getting a nice week long continuously on burn in to test for any issues before moving to a more central area.
Serial Communication
The Arduino makes serial communication pretty simple. The two tricky parts are keeping the serial connection open and debugging. I settled on the format of three digits and a character to indicate which location (LED+Gauge) was being updated. For example, updating Amsterdam to 100% (gauge pinned at 5, LED glowing brightly) send 100A or 050A for 50%. The computer does all the heavy lifting of fetching stats and scaling it.
At this point, uber-engineer and friend Doug Tabacco took over and wrote the control software. His python script scrapes the per-site stats data, normalizes it to a % value and sends that value over serial every 0.085 seconds.
Everything seemed to be fine but then a strange thing happened: after a few minutes of testing his Mac's USB port stopped responding until the computer was rebooted. I was starting to freak out because we were planning on bringing the board to a party 5 days away and this was more than just a little weird glitch. My first assumption was that there was something wrong with the Arduino. Then after a good night's sleep I realized I forgot to comment out one of my debug serial outputs in the Arduino code. The Arduino was sending a line of serial output every .085 seconds (12 outputs per second)… yep, that's how you fill a buffer and cause weird things to happen. After commenting out that output line in the Arduino code, Doug's script worked perfectly!]]>
Mission Stands Website
The laptop stand designs are final!
I still need to take some action shots and have a photographer help me get some better pictures but the stands themselves rock!
The big stand is 8″ tall with a small shelf for a cell phone, pens or other kick knackery. The top of the stand matches up to the top of a Dell LCD screen but..
when placed on a standard countertop it makes the laptop comfortable to type on when standing!
The small stand is 4″ tall to match up with the bottom of a monitor or when you just need a little cooling/extra support.
Both pack flat, assemble with no tools and are extremely strong. The design hold the laptop firmly and feels incredibly stable when typing. The cardboard material and design is strong enough for me to stand on!]]>
Fast Orange and Gojo are orange oil based hand cleaners that are a must have at any workshop. They remove grease, grime and soot off hands so why not wood? The cleaners do wonders for removing smoke residue as well as char. I have gotten clean (no black marks) vector cut wood pieces using these and would recommend them to anyone.
The only caveat I would add is to avoid the pumice solution. It's unnecessary and adds a lot of time to get all the little pumice bits out of your etching.
For the extremely lazy, get the Fast Orange Hand Wipes!
¹Most of the advice on the Epilog website is good however even they get it wrong sometimes. For about a year, they had a sample club write up on Neoprene which actually has PVC in it. When lasering PVC, the fumes release HCl gas that is hazardous to your health, damages the machine by rusting metal pieces and voids the warranty. Read everything online with a critical eye.]]>
The stone was heavy so use of the honeycomb table was right out the window. When I made this, there was no raster table available so I used some plywood to prop the piece up. Luckily I now have access to raster table that can support 10lb stone like this.

RAC on Open Source: EntepriseDB GridSQL
This is just too cool. Today, EnterpriseDB announced at LinuxWorld that they are offering GridSQL, a data warehouse and OLAP clustering solution. According to the doc, the EnterpriseDB page for GridSQL, the tool offers:
- Quickly and easily create, maintain, and access very large databases for Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing applications
- Offload reporting from expensive hardware platforms onto an inexpensive grid of commodity hardware, creating significant savings
- Run reporting and other applications with very large datasets, improving organizational decision-making
- Improve organizational productivity and agility by enabling quick access to large amounts of informationThis is supposed to be a true, shared nothing approach to clustering. I, obviously, haven't had the chance to play with it yet but I will.
This is a scale out package for large databases. So I am guessing that you would be able to partition data across multiple machines but that is a total guess on my part. It may be just a CPU boost instead. I need to do some more research.
According to the documentation, GridSQL includes parallel query where EnterpriseDB (the database) decides how to spread the query across all databases in the grid. It does include a parallel query optimizer.
This i s an incredible step for EnterpriseDB. Check out the press release. I wonder how long it will be before they release GridSQL for PostgreSQL? RAC on open source? Free RAC? Interesting.

Pharmaceutical companies are certainly keen to find new ways to reach busy doctors. They still send representatives to take part in a process called "detailing", in which reps pitch products and deliver samples.
"Electronic detailing" or "e-detailing" is a trend that has emerged in the United States. "Drug company reps already keep details of doctors and what their prescribing habits are in so far as they can glean them," Australian Medical Association vice-president Dr Trevor Mudge says.
Most websites ask visitors for information, for personalisation and marketing reasons. They also monitor how their pages are viewed. As more services for doctors move online, strategies to target and tempt are destined to enter the relationships between GPs, their providers and suppliers.
"We remain concerned about the basic issues of privacy and improper incentives, or data-mining and the selling of doctor's habits," Dr Mudge says. "There's a real risk of drug companies writing to patients saying 'we notice you use drug X, but have you considered using drug Y?' It's a real risk. It's happening around the world."
Like many online services, e-detailing offers efficiencies and convenience as well as a way for marketers to find out more about their customers. There is potential, at least, for some systems to track prescribing habits and educational preferences of their users.
The two-year-old eClinic has more than 3500 doctors around the country logging in to get faster results from participating pathology outfits via the Internet.
Detailing and e-detailing are not the only forms of decision support available, and only time will tell if GPs will embrace e-detailing as much as they have other sources such as the National Medicines Handbook or even the decision support available within the main prescribing software programs.
"MyRep is not the only place they can find out about the products, but it's the only place they can do something about it," Mishra says.
There is potential for integrating e-detailing with the major prescribing programs; eClinic may consider this option as it has already integrated its pathology results service into Medical Director.
"Yes, we should be able to do it, but our plan for now is to try to get there on our own by making myRep as comprehensive as possible in its own right," Mishra says.
"But if the feedback shows the doctors want it integrated, then we will do it."
Integration on a one-way basis would be preferable in the view of the AMA.
"Providing information to doctors and patients? That's great," Dr Mudge says. "But if it also provides information back about patients or doctor's prescribing habits, we worry because the supplier of the information has little if any control over its usage.
"Leakage down the data pipe has to be plugged."

Hello FF2,
Wow your post really brings back memories, I still have three reel to reel recorders but sadly, at the moment, none of them are set up or in use. I remember making compilations such as the ones you are describing...and I remember commercial free radio too !
I didn't realise that you can't control the play order on the Kindle, that is disappointing, but if you selected your tracks carefully enough, it might not be problematic.
The tracks on the ambient sampler were chosen for maximum ambience, but it's entirely possible that some of them may still be too "active", and I think each person might have an ideal "mental" list of the best tracks to load up...
If it were me, I would probably have something like this
Eno - Thursday Afternoon
Eno - Discreet Music (the title track only)
Eno - Neroli
Fripp - A Blessing Of Tears
Right there, 3 or 4 hours of really beautiful ambient that I think would be suitable for a good read.
There will ALWAYS be the problem of some folk needing silence and others wanting music while they read - again, it's just differences/preferences but I do understand that if your partner needs silence, that could limit your ability to try out music while you are reading...I am lucky, my partner and I both love having music on while we read.
Even something like Fripp & Eno, Live, Paris 1975 is OK for us, it has some loud and dissonant parts, but the overall feel is so amazing, that we're OK reading to that...so I tend to be able to go even more active than your basic ambient style - up to a point.
If music is too busy, too active, or too loud - it is NOT suitable for reading...so as with everything, you have to find the right balance...
happy reading/happy listening

The Wired World of Sports
The thrill of victory…the agony of defeat…the comforting glow of an LCD readout…we went spanning the globe to bring you the best of digital athletic and outdoor gear. And even if all that cool performance-enhancing "Six Million Dollar Man" gear is still just a laboratory dream, and those infomercial ab-building electrical gizmos received mixed reviews at best, don't give up hope. Here are a dozen digital devices designed to make your athletic training more effective and your outdoor activities a lot more fun.
Super Satellite Guidance
Whether you're a sailor, fisherman, hiker, hunter or just a sap like me who habitually loses his car in humongous mall parking lots, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver can be an aggravation-reduction device or even, quite literally, a lifesaver, pinpointing your position and direction wherever you wander by reading data from overhead satellites. The top-of-the-line Meridian Color from Magellan boasts an easy-on-the-eyes, high-contrast color screen -- a huge improvement over the typical black-on-gray screen found on most models. But beauty is more than skin-deep in this case. There's also an extensive built-in North American database of highways, waterways, roads, airports and more, plus the option to add a memory card and download detailed street-level or even topographical maps. Controls are surprisingly simple, operation is speedy, and the system is accurate to within three meters (i.e., less than the length of my hide-and-seek-playing car).

LED Lamp
For nighttime excursions -- hiking , biking, rock climbing, camping, you name it -- the Photon Fusion LED Lamp from L.R.I. is the most practical, powerful way to see where you're going. Using LEDs instead of conventional bulbs means lighter weight, brighter light and much longer battery life; figure about 24 hours of continuous illumination at medium brightness on a single set of three AA batteries. The Fusion lamp features four brightness and three strobe settings, plus a single, red LED to be to protect your night vision. Weighing just over six ounces with batteries, and equipped with a headband and a mounting clamp, the Photon Fusion makes leaving your traditional flashlight at home a very bright idea.

Wristwatches that measure your heart rate have been around for quite a while, but what seemed like a slick way to monitor your workout didn't work out that well, because to pick up your pulse rate you had to wear an uncomfortable chest strap. The Mio Shape watch from Physi-Cal Enterprises is an elegant alternative: a lightweight, digital model that reads your heart rate with electrocardiogram accuracy without strapping you in. Just place two fingers on the front sensor buttons, press gently, and in seconds, you'll know precisely how fast your valves and ventricles are racing. Knowing when I've reached my aerobic target heart rate is the be-all and end-all of the Mio for me, but the more anal retentive can also calculate food-intake and calories burned. Oh yeah, it also tells time, with chronometer and alarm functions.

Club-Head Speed Gun
Beltronics, known for building high-performance radar detectors for lead-footed drivers, now turns its sophisticated radar technology to a different kind of driver entirely: the one that fits in your golf bag. The SwingMate accurately measures the speed of your club head. No need to hook electrodes to your clubs -- just place the device three or four feet behind the ball (real or imaginary), set it for the club you're carrying, and swing away. The digital readout displays swing speed and the distance the ball should travel based on that speed. The SwingMate stores up to 10 readings, calculates your average speed, and can even recommend the right club to use for a specified distance based on your personal performance. Battery-powered and portable, SwingMate is the perfect driving range companion -- informative, useful and, best of all, completely silent when you muff a shot.

Golf-Shot Range Finder
Judging distance by eye is inevitably a hit-and-miss proposition, and hitting and missing is not exactly a golfer's favorite experience. That's where the handheld Yardage Pro Tour laser range finder comes into play. Just point it at a pin, bunker, tree or trap (the 6x magnification and visible crosshairs make pinpoint spotting easy), press a single button, and you'll instantly know what you're up against, within one yard. The Yardage Pro Tour weighs just 6.8 ounces and comes with a handy belt-clip carrying case. And despite the intimidating "laser" in the product name, the Yardage Pro uses invisible, eye-safe infrared energy pulses -- reassuring if you're concerned about your fellow golfers, disappointing if you were hoping to give the foursome dragging their heels in front of you a long-distance hotfoot.

Speed and Distance Watch
It may look like a standard Timex Ironman model, but the extraordinary Ironman Speed & Distance System actually keeps track of your every move (which, in this case, is a good thing). A GPS receiver tracks changes in your location from moment to moment and uses the data to calculate your speed and distance traveled, which is then sent to the watch via a wireless connection. Accuracy is very impressive -- better than 95 percent in most environments -- and the information can be sliced and diced to produce a multitude of useful training information, including current, maximum and average speeds; pace, average pace and best pace; and distance traveled. And, as a bonus, the watch sets itself with atomic clock precision via the GPS signal.

Computer-Age Pocketknife
With a 99-year history of making fine knives and cutlery, Imperial Shrade Corp. moves into the digital age with this unique all-in-one device for outdoor recreation. Yes, with the i-Quip you get the usual complement of pocketknife essentials: cutting blade, saw, scissors, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, bottle opener, can opener and corkscrew. But there's also a water-resistant computer module with a digital clock (including alarm and stopwatch), altimeter, digital compass and barometer, with a backlit screen for easy reading. There's even a convenient compartment for storing a cigar lighter.

Binocular/Camera Combo
If you can see it, you can snap it with DigiBino DB100, an innovative binocular/digital camera combination. You start out with a fixed-magnification 7x roof prism binocular, compact and comfortable to hold, with a standard focusing knob mounted between the lenses. Flip up the 1.6-inch LCD screen mounted on top, though, and you have a digital camera at your disposal, ready to grab a snapshot of whatever you're watching. At 1,024 x 768 resolution, pictures look great when transferred to your computer for e-mailing or posting to a Web site, but aren't really sharp enough for creating large printouts. Resolution isn't the only reason you wouldn't want to use the DigiBino as your only camera -- since you're always shooting with a high-powered telephoto lens, it's hard to use close-up. ("Honey, Daddy wants to take your picture -- why don't you run a block or two away?"). It's better for grabbing a snapshot of a yellow-bellied sapsucker, Tiger at the tee or a scrumptious sun worshiper on a passing boat.

Long-Range, Two-Way Radio
Inexpensive two-way radios have come a long way from the GI Joe toys you played with as a kid. The GMRS7000CH Audiovox radio is the first model with a maximum range up to seven miles under ideal conditions (over water, for example). The looks are a bit stodgy, but practicality more than makes up for its lack of styling sizzle. With 15 main channels and 38 subfrequencies in each, you should have no trouble finding a free channel for you and your friends to grab and gab. For hands-free operation, the VOX option lets you transmit automatically whenever you speak, without having to hold the Talk button. Another feature I found useful is a dual-watch mode that monitors two channels -- that way, if natural or human interference garbles one channel, you can easily switch to an agreed-upon fallback position.

Genoa Sandwich Loaf Recipe
Being an Italian American, I love this open-faced meat and cheese sandwich because it tastes like "home". My Irish husband enjoys it as much as my relatives do when I fix it for family gatherings. Homemade pesto adds that something special.
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1-1/4 cups packed minced fresh parsley
- 1 cup minced fresh basil
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 loaf (1 pound) French bread, halved lengthwise
- 1 pound thinly sliced hard salami
- 2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1. For pesto, in a blender, combine the oil, parsley, basil, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic and nutmeg. Cover and process on high until blended.
- 2. Spread cream cheese over cut sides of bread; spread with pesto. Layer the salami and tomatoes over pesto; sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Kate Hudson and Matthew Bellamy already have a son together. They're already engaged. And according to Hudson's mother, Goldie Hawn, they're already married.
Hudson and Bellamy announced their engagement in April but haven't said anything else about the wedding. Earlier this week, however, Goldie Hawn, spilled the secret to the U.K.'s ES Magazine.Hawn said:
"When my daughter Kate married an English rock star it didn't worry me… All that matters is that the relationship is a good one."
The New York Daily News, however, reports that Hawn may have be using the term "married" loosely. On top of citing an unnamed source who says that the rumor isn't try. the Daily also points to the fact that Hawn often refers to Kurt Russell as her husband despite the fact that the long term couple have never been married.
Hudson and Bellamy have not confirmed or denied the marriage rumor.
The couple have an 8-month old son together, Bing, and if the wedding hasn't happened already it should happen soon.
Before the couple got engaged, Hudson told InStyle:
"I love that Matthew knows how to express himself. He shows his love. He communicates."
Do you think Goldie Hawn accidentally said marriage? Or are Kate Hudson and Matthew Bellamy now husband and wife?

Amazon Turning Into Dry, Carbon-Emitting Dust Forest
"That such a strong drought should follow the 'One in 100-year' drought of 2005 only five years afterwards in 2010 is exceptional, and of concern. The 2010 drought appears to have been more widespread than in 2005, and this may have important consequences in regions across Amazonia already prone to drought stress. The underlying climatic cause needs to be understood more fully, and its impact quantified, not just on the ecology of the region, but also on society."
— Patrick Meir, professor of ecosystem science at the University of Edinburgh, on satellite measurements of rainfall that indicate 3 million square kilometers of rainforest went dry last year. The resulting decomposition of trees killed by the drought could result in 5 billion metric tons of CO2, which is about the annual U.S. output. (In normal years, all the healthy trees in the Amazon absorb CO2.) I sure hope some of the those 1,200 newly discovered exoplanets are inhabitable. And that maybe the Jerusalem UFO will come back to pick us up.

A 20-year-old Minneapolis woman allegedly attempted to burn her way into
the apartment of a Brooklyn Center man Jan. 26 in the 6100 block of Beard Avenue North.
Quintel Carlena Terrell was in the apartment of a man in the building, identified in the criminal complaint as E.W.R., the evening of Jan. 26 and left without her eyeglasses. Brooklyn Center Police Commander Tim Gannon said Terrell met the man the day before she was at his apartment.
The man asked Terrell to leave his apartment, but she returned later and pounded on the door while yelling to retrieve her glasses, according to the BCPD criminal complaint.
He continued to ignore the woman until he noticed fire under the door of his apartment, according to the complaint. Emergency responders had to rescue the man from the window of his apartment due to the heavy smoke surrounding the door.
Terrell told police officers that she remembered the man had oxygen tanks inside the apartment and decided to start the fire as a way to get inside, according to the criminal complaint.
Terrell also told police she placed her clothes in front of the apartment door and poured rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer on the pile before setting it on fire.
According to the complaint, Terrell left the building without notifying other residents about the fire and purchased cigarettes at a nearby gas station. She told police she did not care if others were hurt as a result of her actions.
Gannon said one resident was injured with a minor cut after the fire and some people were displaced from their apartments for a short amount of time.
Terrell is charged with felony first degree arson, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and the possibility of a $20,000 fine.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad may be gaining support across the Muslim world for his fervent criticism of the United States, but inside Iran, he is losing strength. His political rivals are gaining new positions of power, and the population is increasingly unhappy with the economy's continuing decline.
Since its inception, the Islamic Republic has had a weak presidency; ultimate authority rests with the Supreme Leader, first Ayatollah Khomeini and now Ayatollah Khamenei. The Islamic Republic's first president, Abolhassan Bani Sadr, was dismissed from office a year after his election. Ever since, the regime has been intolerant of a strong president, and has repeatedly demonstrated that the office is subservient to the Supreme Leader.
Ahmedinejad's election two years ago came with great expectations, with the new president pledging to "bring oil prices to the dining table of all households in Iran," and to crack down on corruption. Yet many of his first appointments were rewards to his supporters and cronies in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Basij militia, armed groups that mobilized voters on his behalf during the campaign. For example, an the Oil Ministry gave a $1.3 billion no-bid contract to an oil company associated with the Revolutionary Guard, and Ahmedinejad appointed his brother-in-law as cabinet secretary.
Steps like these may have been overlooked in better economic times. But the Iranian budget is now running a 15%-of-GDP deficit, and foreign reserves are shrinking, despite the oil boom. Instead of distributing oil revenues through a program of low-cost loans, as promised, the government has been forced to ration gasoline, as economic promise has given way to crisis.

NRL officials have privately questioned the snubbing of Sonny Bill Williams and several Manly stars at Wednesday night's Dally M awards, with one telling Sin Bin: ''This is why we have to get back control of the awards.''
The Dally Ms are the only remaining commercial arrangement between the game and News Ltd, and are voted on by seven former players on the Fox Sports, Channel Nine and Sky NZ commentary teams and six Daily Telegraph journalists.
However, the fact Williams polled equal 28th with Mitchell Pearce, Michael Ennis and Terry Campese on 11 votes and Manly's Jorge Taufua and David Williams weren't even nominated for winger of the year has prompted some officials to question whether a new method of deciding the awards is needed.
One leading player said he was embarrassed that Williams and South Sydney star Greg Inglis were not in the top 10, which included departing Penrith halfback Luke Walsh and just one forward in Storm hooker Cameron Smith.
Roosters officials were also bemused that Williams lost out to injured teammate Boyd Cordner for second-rower of the year, while the Sea Eagles camp was equally as stunned that centre Jamie Lyon was its only award winner.
Had the judges taken into account Sports Data's contributor value system, Taufua would have been the winger of the year and Daly Cherry-Evans would have won halfback of the year from Jarrod Mullen and Adam Reynolds ahead of Dally M player of the year Cooper Cronk.
According to Sports Data, Cronulla prop Andrew Fifita was the No.1 player in the game, followed by five other forwards in Cameron Smith, Sam Burgess, Corey Parker, Anthony Watmough and George Burgess. Williams was 11th.
Team of the year*
Billy Slater, David Simmons, Jamie Lyon, Michael Jennings, Jorge Taufua, John Sutton, Daly Cherry-Evans, Andrew Fifita, Cameron Smith, Sam Burgess, Sonny Bill Williams, Anthony Watmough, Corey Parker.

Original sin
Guests at Thursday's grand final lunch were left with little doubt that Roosters halfback Mitchell Pearce is sick of being asked about his Origin performance for NSW this season, with coach Trent Robinson interjecting to answer a question from MC Warren Smith. Pearce had been quizzed on the subject at a press conference before the lunch, and as soon as Smith raised the subject the 24-year-old dropped his head in frustration.
Four times lucky
If the Roosters are to win Sunday night's grand final, they will become the first team to beat the same opponent four times in a season since 1957 when St George defeated Manly. Balmain also achieved the feat in 1944 against Newtown.
Mum's disappointment
The selection of the Burgess twins, George and Thomas, to play alongside brother Sam in England's World Cup squad has sparked massive publicity for the World Cup in Britain, but their mother Julie is unhappy that the eldest of the four siblings at Souths was overlooked.
''I'm really delighted for Thomas and George. It's their debut for full internationals and it's so exciting and a great achievement and it's amazing that Sam's coming back, but it's just so disappointing that Luke's not in there,'' she told BBC Radio.
''That's the heartbreak, really, and I just don't understand it. It's a huge disappointment to see his brothers all go back to England and for him to not be a part of that. It's hard as a mum to know what to say.''

Tesla Motors Calls New Jersey Out on New Rule Against Its Direct Sales Model
Tiffany Kaiser
March 11, 2014 12:01 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Tesla said Governor Christie's administration has "gone back on its word"
Tesla Motors has been trying to push its direct sales model into various U.S. states, and while it saw a bit of success with New Jersey, a new state rule could destroy Tesla's plans.
According to
, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration recently proposed a new rule that requires that a person have a franchise agreement with an auto manufacturer in order to be granted a license to sell.
This is a problem for Tesla, considering it already operates two stores in New Jersey and had plans to open more. It's possible that Tesla could have to stop selling its all-electric Model S and any future vehicles in these stores and instead use them as showrooms where customers can look, but not buy.
"Unfortunately, Monday we received news that Governor Christie's administration has gone back on its word to delay a proposed anti-Tesla regulation so that the matter could be handled through a fair process in the Legislature," said Tesla in a statement. "The Administration has decided to go outside the legislative process by expediting a rule proposal that would completely change the law in New Jersey. This new rule, if adopted, would curtail Tesla's sales operations and jeopardize our existing retail licenses in the state.
"Having previously issued two dealer licenses to Tesla, this regulation would be a complete reversal to the long standing position of NJMVC on Tesla's stores. Indeed, the Administration and the NJMVC are thwarting the Legislature and going beyond their authority to implement the state's laws at the behest of a special interest group looking to protect its monopoly at the expense of New Jersey consumers. This is an affront to the very concept of a free market."
Tesla CEO Elon Musk and President Barack Obama
Tesla has been in a battle with many states regarding its direct sales model. The issue is that auto dealerships feel Tesla's new sales model threatens their network, which many other automakers rely on. If other automakers were to follow Tesla's example, it would put the dealerships in a bad spot. The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) said that dealerships are necessary to ensure competitive prices for customers, and that it will continue to defend franchise and consumer laws in the states.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, on the other hand, believes that
auto dealerships
don't do a very good job at selling specialty cars like Tesla's high-end electric vehicles (Roadster, Model S). Hence, he's looking to run his own Tesla stores around the U.S. where he believes his cars will get a fair shot at being sold.
However, the problem for Tesla is that auto dealerships have
much deeper pockets
-- meaning that they have a lot more to spend on lobbying, and lawmakers will surely side with them when money is involved.
In fact, auto dealers spent $86.8 million on state election races across the U.S. between 2003 and 2012. They also spent $53.7 million on federal campaigns. Tesla, on the other hand, has spent less than $500,000 on both state and federal politics.
Tesla has gone head-to-head with many other states that are protecting auto dealerships, such as Massachusetts, Ohio and New York.
Just last month, it was reported that Ohio Sen. Tom Patton (R-Strongsville)
backed a new bill called Senate Bill 260
, which aims to prevent Tesla and any other automaker from "applying for a license to sell or lease new or used motor vehicles at retail." Tesla opened its own stores in both Cincinnati and Columbus, as Ohio's current laws allow the automaker to do so. However, Senate Bill 260 would certainly put a stop to it, unless existing stores opened before the bill are deemed safe.
What's interesting is that Patton received at least $42,825 between 2002 and 2013 from state and national auto dealership owners, employees, and political action committees.
Tesla Motors
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

Intermodal Transit Facility: Pacific University
Summit Strategies' professionals working on behalf of Pacific University developed a successful coalition which resulted in $3 million of federal funding and $7 million of state and local funding for the City of Hillsboro's Intermodal Transit Facility (ITF).
The facility is key to downtown revitalization in the City of Hillsboro as well as expansion of Pacific University's Health Professions Campus and its related community services. The 160,000 squarefoot, fourlevel, shared use facility offers offstreet parking options for commuters, storage for bicycle commuters, and bus access and shelters for waiting passengers. And, the ITF is adjacent to a MAX light rail station. The ITF has improved access into the downtown area, increased offstreet parking and has fostered Transit Oriented Development in the City of Hillsboro. The ITF provides essential access to transit services for local residents, and offers transit transfer options for commuters, patients, and students of Tuality Hospital, Pacific University and the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Clinic.


text: Fradno 330 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Hello, While looking around for a game engine for iOS development, I found out that Adobe Flash can create games. I hadn't payed much attention to the program since I got it as I've been using Photoshop and Illustrator extensively for freelance work. Knowing that flash can create games, what can I actually do with it? At version CS5, would I still be able to develop for things like iphone 5 and above? For html5? I know that the latest version on Adobe Cloud can do so for html5 and has other advanced features. But can I say, make a game in Fl cs5 with plugins for html5 and later versions of iphone? My plan is to develop for mobile platforms and possibly web. I want to utilize something like leadbolt to gain revenue from. I searched around for similar topics, but didn't find my answer. I have some game making experience and know the process. I want to make a small game and just see how well it does with leadbolt for monetization.

Reviews for Roasted Butternut Squash & Rice Salad
Average Rating
"Yummy! Don't leave out the fresh dill. I did halve the amount of pine nuts because $$$$$."
"I choose this recipe to fit a family members restricted diet- but everyone really liked it. Certainly will make again. I did not have parsley-so used cilantro, it was great! I also did not have pine nuts, so toasted a bit of sesame seed and walnuts- loved the nutty flavor"
"This was very good, but it makes ALOT!!! I didn't have fresh dill or parsley, so I just used dry spices."
"Absolutely delicious! I've made this several times and it actually tastes better the next day. It makes alot, so next time I will cut the recipe in half. Pine nuts are what make this great."
"This was good. I didn't have the pine nuts or fresh dill but it turned out pretty good."
"This recipe is awesome! I didn't have some ingredients so I used the pre-cooked, packaged Quinoa and brown rice, dried dill and parsley I had on hand. I will recommend this to everyone"
"Thank you, this is a keeper!"
"Took this to a potluck this morning and it was a crowd pleaser. Prepared the squash last night and refrigerated overnight to cut down on prep time this morning. Great flavors."
"I was worried about the combination of flavors but it turned out fantastic. I had to use dried dill and unfortunately didn't have any nuts because I think the crunch would have been nice. Fantastic flavor!"
"I'd like to make this for a potluck and make it the night before - does the rice get hard if left in the refrigerator overnight or does the dressing keep it soft? Also, for those that used quinoa, did you cook it in water or broth? Thanks!"
"My daughter is a vegetarian and I was looking for a great recipe we could all eat. I found it. We absolutely love this recipe. I cut the olive oil in the dressing down to 1/4 cup and add extra veggies. This time I added some fresh green beans which I blanched and chopped. It works to eat at room temperature or cold."
"I made this for the first time for my book club of 12 women and it was a real winner complete with requests for the recipe. I changed the rice to basmati, but all else the same."
"This is good. A pretty and healthy side dish to add to a Thanksgiving or Christmas spread."
"This was quite good. i used quinoa instead of rice to make it healthier. The squah cooked in only 20 minutes. I also used balsamic vinegar in the dressing since I thought it made more sense given the recipe as balsamic was used in the suash preparation."
"Cutting up a squash is labor intensive. I bought the squash already cubed. Great side dish."
"Fantastic! I roasted the squash with the peppers and the onions for some extra flavor."
"Very delicious! Word of caution on the prep time, more like 30 minutes to peel/cut the squash, cut peppers, measure all ingredients. My rice took 50 minutes to cook according to package directions. Prep time and cook time are very important to me to decide on when I can make a dish."
"This was wonderful, although I used peanuts in place of the very expensive pine nuts and brown rice in place of the jasmine. It's good as leftovers too although I love butternut squash and picked some of the cubes out and ate them before the salad was served so there wasn't as much squash leftover as there was rice. :-)"
"Delicious! To make it healthier I substitute quinoa for the rice and to make it less expensive, slivered almonds for pine nuts. But the original is fantastic too!"
"I would rate this 6 stars if I could!"
"My neighbor called me over to try this recipe. We had never made anything with butternut squash. We couldn't believe the wonderful flavor!!"
"Great recipe for this fall. Enjoy!"

Kimye 'splash out on wedding guests'
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly splashing out big on their wedding guests.
The superstar couple are set to marry in Paris on May 24 in a lavish ceremony. According to new reports there will be no expense spared when it comes to each of their 200 guests. The pair are said to have hired the 199-room Trianon Palace Hotel, minutes away from the Palace of Versailles, with the most expensive suites costing £4,000 a night.
"The hotel is very grand, with beautiful views," a source told British magazine Grazia. "Guests will be greeted with goodie bags containing £300 vintage bottles of Bollinger, £120 Crème de la Mer products, handmade souvenir trinkets with Kim and Kanye's initials etched in Swarovski crystals, bottles of scent from local perfumeries and £150 vouchers for treatments at the hotel spa."
Kanye, 36, has also hired a fleet of private jets to fly guests to the wedding according to the reports.
With only a matter of weeks left until the big day, guests have had their first clue about what to expect at the nuptials as they recently received their £600 invitations.
"Kim and Kanye wanted the invites to be as lavish as possible and commissioned a couture designer to create gold silk boxes containing a photo album of their fairytale romance and a silk invite etched in real gold leaf with a clasp of natural pearls," the source continued.
The couple chose pearls as they are their nine-month-old daughter North's birthstone.
"This is going to be the wedding to end all weddings and Kim wants to ensure that she and Kanye, as well as all their guests, have an experience they will never forget," the source added.

Xperiment, a maker of music and movie whole house systems for custom installers has some interesting, albeit expensive products. But expensive as they are, they really do do a lot and compared to some of their competitors, they're sort of midline in price. Xperiment just struck a deal with Music Giants to download music and movies into one of their high end servers. Their servers, Poseidon and Polaris, offer between 1.5 and 4.0 Terabytes of raided storage for prices that closely mirror what corporation pay to protect their data. Of course, I don't know if you need that much protection for, say, Godfather III, but it's nice to know it's there. A top end server, the Poseidon, is $25,000 and each room where you want control needs a "client" which features a DVD player/reader (from $2,400 to $3,000). Everything is connected with Ethernet and the whole system can even synch with your other system at your vacation home in the Hamptons while jet over there for the weekend.
Okay, so it's a bit out of your league right now. But it's nice to know that if you ever make it, Xperiment will be waiting for you.

Gold Bounces Off of $1769 as Election Looms in the Background
I'm not sure what significance $1769 has but the bulls drew their own line in the sand around $1770 all day today, never once allowing the yellow metal to close on an hourly basis below $1771.15 on the December contract. It was a risk-off kinda day as equities drifted lower and Silver was whacked below $34 for much of the day. Brent Crude inched higher back above $112 and Copper pushed back over $3.70 per lb.
The situation in Gold neutral with a bullish bias. With action like we saw today with 6 different attempts to break the price below $1769 per ounce may signify the last bit of selling pressure that exists for the moment in this price range. The longer this goes on with the price refusing to stay below the $1775 level for very long the greater the probability that Gold breaks through $1800 with a vengeance.
At this point I would not discount election-related selling pressure being put on the commodity markets in order to help the president's re-election chances. For while Bernanke has announced QEternity and the Fed has jawboned to that effect, I have not seen anything in the monetary statistics to suggest that anything has actually begun, Fed verbiage to the contrary.
Wouldn't that just be the thing? Announce QE and get everyone jazzed for the future money orgy but delay it's beginning just long enough to hold commodity prices in check until early voting begins. Tactically, that is a very sound plan. Watch for signs of the monetary base pushing higher in the coming weeks.

Product DescriptionSONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect is simply outstanding! Everyone who uses this product can not say enough about how effective it is. It rapidly breaks up just about anything your wheels can come in contact with. It is non corrosive and pH neutral so you can use it on any wheel surface such as chrome, alloy, clear coated, polished, anodized, stainless steel, etc. Spray it on your wheels and the formula looks fluorescent green, it quickly breaks down contaminants and changes colors to a deep red. This color change lets you know the formula has broken down, softened and loosened contaminants that can now easily be removed with a stream of water. This truly unique formula provides a deep cleaning that is not like anything you have tried before. Use the SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect and you may never use another product again.
Professional Detailer Reviews
If your detailing needs include heavy wheel cleaning, then I can't recommend the Sonax Wheel Cleaner enough. It's truly a fantastic product!
What makes Sonax Full Effect different than other wheel cleaning products is that it is designed to chemically react with the sintered iron particles (brake dust) that are on or embedded into the surface of the wheels. By dissolving these corrosive iron particles, Sonax provides a much cleaner surface than traditional wheel cleaners can do.
I get to test more products than you can imagine, and usually I just find relatively small differences from one to the other. Rarely do I find products that provide serious "wow-factor". I have to admit that during these tests, the Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner most definitely provided the wow-factor!
For detailers that work on a lot of really bad wheels, I would highly recommend having this product available to cut down on wheel cleaning time. Or for enthusiasts with cars that don't get cleaned that often, this would be a great wheel cleaner to have in your arsenal.
- Product Review: Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect by Todd Cooperider
SONAX Wheel Cleaner full effect 5 Liter Refill
From The Label
Product Description
Effortlessly removes the most stubborn dirt such as baked-on brake dust, oil and rubber residues from all types of steel and alloy wheels (including chromed and polished wheels). Acid-free so it will not attack wheel coatings, lug nuts or brake systems. With lemon fragrance.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: From a short distance, evenly spray onto all wheel surfaces and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. The liquid changes its colour to red as it reacts with the iron particles of the brake dust. In case of extremely stubborn soils, use a sponge or a oft brush. Finally, rinse thoroughly using a strong water jet or high-pressure washer.
PLEASE NOTE Protect against frost or freezing. Do not apply in direct sunlight or to hot wheels. Do not allow to dry.

Absolutely amazing! I got this for my own car and Hyundai brake pads don't generally create a lot of dust but regardless, I was impressed with it and the way it changes color as it reacts with the iron particles in the dust. I went from impressed to utterly amazed when I got my hands on an Audi A4 that hadn't been washed in a year. The front wheels were caked black with that typical German brake dust but after a few minutes soaking in the Sonax Full Effect and a quick rinse, they were 90% clean. Just a quick wipedown was all that was needed to bring the silver color back up. I'll never go without this stuff again! The only issue I have with it is the smell...it's not necessarily awful but it isn't pleasant either.

Clifford Bay
I, along with many others oppose the proposed move of the Ferry Terminal from Picton to Clifford Bay. I resent the spending of many thousands of dollars on the investigation study and any possible foreign control.
In all the talk there has been, very little if any consideration for the Dominion Salt Works at Lake Grassmere. Any activity at Clifford Bay will impede the flow of clean saltwater into the salt pans, leaving a lot of silt and polluted water. The heavy traffic on the road past the salt pans would cause dust and pollution from emissions.
Dominion Salt produces at least half of New Zealand's needs, domestic and industrial.
Any port and the necessary infrastructure would severely compromise Dominion Salt.
I sincerely hope common sense will prevail and no further money will be squandered on investigation.
Pacific workers
As a NZ-born citizen who now resides in Australia, I read in disgust of your support for schemes whereby Pacific Island workers are imported into New Zealand and Marlborough to work in the local vineyards and dairy industry. That directly results in lower wages for local inhabitants and changes the gender balance of the region.
New Zealand currently is the only gender-balanced country in the western world in the 15-to-40 years single age group, which I believe is fantastic and should be preserved and protected by an act of parliament.
Due to similar work immigrant schemes, gender balance in Australia is now so bad, I reckon young NZ male migrants should be warned on the flight over here that Australia is a sausage sizzle and could be potentially hazardous to their physical and mental health.
All jokes aside, we don't want to become another Australia, do we?
So if the wine and dairy industry cannot survive without turning New Zealand into a low wage sausage sizzle, best we rip out the vines, shoot the cows.
Football fan
I am writing to congratulate your paper on its excellent coverage of football news, especially the English Premier League. Your article every Monday reports fully the weekend action in the Barclay's Premier League.
I, and I'm sure, many other Marlburians, support a team in the Premier League. Your coverage well surpasses the football offerings of the Christchurch Press, who quite often have none at all.
Please keep up the good work.
Fishing rules
With the Government going through restructuring, I find it very satisfying to see that they have finally seen through Phil Heatley. He failed miserably as Minister of Fisheries and that has shown with the law changes since he was tossed out.
Now people in Marlborough can go and get a feed of fish with the aid of a set net again, although we are still being treated unfairly with both commercial and customary allowed to net for 12 months and recreational only for four months.
Come on David [Carter, current Minister for Primary Industries], be fair, I also hope that you see sense and change the cod slot rule before it's too late. Most fishers are catching longer cod and returning them, only to die.
I have dived under a boat and seen this happening.
Please David, see sense before you ruin the Sounds, with no-one benefiting.
Drive to Clutha
Steve Mason says he is an Invercargill lad (Editor's blog, Express, January 21) and that Balclutha is 45 minutes up the road. I would like to see him drive 125km in 45 minutes, considering the towns in between as well. Edendale, Mataura, Gore, Waipahi, Waiwera, Clinton, need I say more?
Sorry matey, I'm a Southlanderrrrrrr, too.
The reference was to the Southland-Otago boundary, which is about 45 minutes from Balclutha, driving behind a slow stock truck (which usually happens). For the record, I grew up in Gore, where we made an even better job of rolling those Rs. - Editor
Dogs barking
As a concerned dog owner I feel the dog control people should not act on just one phone call. There should be at least three or more complaints as dogs are allowed to bark for 30 seconds, according to the dog control.
The noise control does not act between 6am and 10pm so why not apply the same laws to dogs? Anything can make a dog bark, so why punish them before you find out the cause?
Gerry's game
Mr Sowman, it looks like Gerry Brownlee ["Brownlee urges ferry calm", Express, January 23] is playing you and your followers at the same game that was played on the people of Marlborough.
It is not so long ago information and figures and the impact it would have on your ratepayers etc was asked of the council regarding the parking building, the theatre, the mini park, the clock tower and a referendum to ascertain if the people wanted some of these proposals, all with no response.
How does it feel to be on the other end of the stick?
I see by a study carried out in Europe that libraries will be obsolete as such, with new technology taking their place. Think about it.
Buy NZ
A few years ago, many people used the slogan "Buy New Zealand Made"; businesses, residents and councils of the time used it.
Perhaps the council should have practised this when choosing the Christmas trees for Picton.
Real live Christmas trees are grown here in Marlborough, and I am sure a fresh one or two each year for 10 years would cost less than the figure quoted in your paper.
Why not buy New Zealand made instead of importing from China or anywhere else?
Picton water
Why are we wasting valuable funds building a theatre and looking at extending the airport building when our council can't even supply any type of quality drinking water in Picton, Seddon or Renwick?
The theatre and airport terminal are luxury items but quality water supplies and sewage schemes are necessities.
I would love a new car and house but in today's economic climate I simply can't afford that cost so I don't do it. I think it's about time the council got it's head out of the clouds and focussed on getting the basics right.
Can't wait until the elections.
Grateful for help I thought I would respond to this story ["Rescue chopper flies twice to sound", marlexpress.co.nz, january 28] as the little girl in the story is my daughter Iris.
We were camping at Nikau Cove when she woke with severe breathing difficulties. She was treated by the advanced paramedic onboard the rescue helicopter and then received further treatment from Wairau Hospital to ease her breathing difficulties and was discharged on Sunday morning.
We are extremely grateful for the fast response, help and care we received from Gary and his team on board the rescue helicopter, our friend Shelley Avery and the duty team at the Portage Resort for their assistance and for the further aid and care we received from Sara, the on duty ED doctor, and Jodi our nurse and feel very lucky to live in a community served by such dedicated and caring people.
