Silent Knight - Ballot of the Wallet
Artist: Silent Knight
Producer: Madwreck
Album: Busy Is My Best Friend II
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 8 votes )
To paraphrase the Wu Tang Clan's early-'90s clasic, cash rules everything around us. As such, filling in a box next to the name of your favorite candidate can only do so much to change the social and economic circumstances that dictate the course of our lives. On his latest single, Ballot of the Wallet, Silent Knight suggests a change of focus from the voting booth to the real seat of political power: our pocketbooks. Madwreck handles production, crafting a head-noddable, bass-led groove as the Garden State representative urges us to pay a little more attention to where our paper's going, and ultimately use our purchasing power to turn the tables on the powers that be. For this politically-charged jam and much more, pick up a copy of Knight's next album, Busy Is My Best Friend II, when it drops digitally in spring of next year.

Queensland Attorney-General Cameron Dick says the Chief Justice Paul de Jersey has not expressed concerns about changes to sentencing laws.
From next year, there will be minimum non-parole periods for serious crimes.
Before the changes were announced, Justice de Jersey told ABC Radio he was in favour of judges having as much discretion as possible.
Mr Dick says there will still be some leeway.
"I've briefed the Chief Justice and he hasn't expressed any concern to me about this proposal because we are keeping judicial discretion in the frame," he said.
"What will happen is there will be a minimum period that the court must consider.
"If the court wishes to deviate from that either increasing the sentence or decreasing the sentence, the court will need to apply criteria set out in legislation."

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- The Poughkeepsie teacher accused of stabbing her co-worker, faces three and a half years in prison after taking a plea deal in court on Friday. According to attorney Gary Greenwald, Ronette Ricketts, 40, pleads guilty to a reduced charge of first degree attempted manslaughter.
Greenwald said her initial charge was attempted murder. Police said Ricketts stabbed her co-worker approximately 16 times with a screw driver in December of 2011. Following the incident, Rickett's actions were due to a mental illness.
"We had the strongest psychiatric defense in my career. You're talking about a highly respected teacher, walking down a hallway with a colleague and a friend, and out of right field for no reason, stabbing her a multitude of times. The stressors were off the charts in regard to her. She had paranoid delusions," said Greenwald.
Ricketts will be sentenced on January 3rd.

"Caprica", while well-performed and likely better written than seventy percent of the shows out there, didn't work for the masses… of "Battlestar Galactica" fans. What happened there was that we wanted a show like "Battlestar Galactica", what with it's aerial dogfights and human-on-cylon sex skirmishes, and got, er, "Dallas in Space".It was good, don't get me wrong, but it just wasn't what grieving fans of the recently canned "Galactica" needed at the time.
So anyway, that's gone and in it's place – come 2011 – will be "Battlestar Galactica : Blood and Chrome", which, like "Caprica", is a prequel to "Galactica", but this one's deemed not so much a soap opera as it is an action series. It's set during the first cylon wars – so it'll be much more in tune with the original series. William Adama (who has now featured in every "Galactica" series, albeit played by different actors) will be the main character. I'm thinking the show might play for fans of J.J Abrams' "Star Trek" since it'll be about a cocky fresh-out-of-the-academy (not unlike Kirk) solider going into deep space, and consequently, battle for the first time.
Blastr have snagged some concept art from the telemovie pilot for "Blood and Chrome"…. looks super!

In the money: Innovation boosts growth at Under Armour
By Katie Smith | 4 February 2013
Performance apparel and footwear maker Under Armour attributed its fourth-quarter profit growth to innovation and product expansion - and said this focus on innovation is set to continue in 2013.
The Baltimore-based company saw net income jump 54% to US$50m during the quarter to 31 December, from $33m in the same period of the prior year. Revenue increased 25% to $506m, which was driven primarily by fleece, and a broader expansion of the Storm platform across the category.
Commenting on the results, founder, chairman, CEO and president Kevin Plank said: "2012 was another outstanding year for Under Armour. And as we enter the new year, 2013 holds great promise.
"We've got a lot of great things in the pipeline and it's a competition. It's a competition to be a featured product from Under Armour. So it's our job to edit, it's our job to make that decision for the consumer. And hopefully we'll build and continue to build that trust with the consumer, that it's great product at a fair value. More importantly it's something that works," Plank added.
Looking back on the last 19 months when Under Armour promised to double revenues to $2.13bn by 2013, Plank said growth has come through the diversity of its products.
During the period, the company moved into product categories such as Charged Cotton and Storm Fleece. It also introduced its Studio and Armour Bra products into its women's division, helping apparel sales to jump 25% to $405m.
"Developing these large-scale apparel platforms has not only enabled us to take a bigger share of closet with our core men's consumer, but it has helped us grow an even faster rate in women's and youth. The results of this diversification are quite clear."
Footwear growth
"The path for our continued growth in footwear is clear," Plank stressed.
The company said it aims to build a "new wave footwear culture" to gain market share in every athletic footwear category. COO Kip Fulks, who assumed responsibility for footwear following the departure of vice president of footwear Gene McCarthy last month, will be instrumental in this process because he understands what is in the pipeline, said Plank.
Fulks will also "lead and bring new talent" into the team, he added.
"By continually flowing new technologies to market, and growing our business, our existing distribution in key retailers like Foot Locker and Finish Line, we believe the future of Under Armour footwear holds great promise," Plank said.
Under Armour also aims to be more aggressive this year by expanding its product lines further, Plank emphasised.
The group has unveiled its Armour 39 performance monitoring system, which measures how hard athletes have worked during a training session. Although NFL stars Cam Newton and Julio Jones wore the product in 2011, Plank said the company is now ready to sell it.
"It's the same product, and again, we've had this product in the market for 2.5 years. And so we've been testing it, refining it, now we're finally ready to go to retail with this product," Plank added.
"Armour 39 is the first system that detects and responds to every move athletes make. Any direction, any speed, any position, the Armour 39 wearable on body strap works with an accompanying watch or on your phone through a mobile app."
Looking forward, the company forecasts net revenues to be in the range of $2.2-2.22bn, representing growth of 20-21% over 2012, and operating growth in the range of $255-257m, a 22-23% increase over the prior year.

August 20, 2013
The amount of freight moved last month fell for the first time since April, according to newly released figures.
The American Trucking Associations' advanced seasonally adjusted For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index slipped 0.4% in July after edging 0.1% higher in June.
The index registered 125.4 for the month versus 125.9 in June, the highest level on record. Compared with July 2012, the index increased 4.7%, which is robust, although the smallest year-over-year gain since April.
Year-to-date, compared with the same period in 2012, the tonnage index is up 4.7%.
The not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 129.6 in July, which is 3% above the previous month at 125.9.
"After gaining a total of 2.2% in May and June, it isn't surprising that tonnage slipped a little in July," said ATA chief economist Bob Costello. "The decrease corresponds with the small decline in manufacturing output during July reported by the Federal Reserve last week."
"Despite the small reprieve in July, we expect solid tonnage numbers during the second half of the year as sectors that generate heavy freight, like oil and gas and autos, continue with robust growth," Costello said.
"Home construction generates a significant amount of tonnage, but as mortgage rates and home prices rise, growth in housing starts will decelerate slightly in the second half of the year, but still be a positive for truck freight volumes," he said. "Tonnage gains in the second half of the year are likely to overstate the strength in the economy as these heavy freight sectors continue to outperform the economy overall."

11 Fun, Memorable Things To Do This Summer
There is nothing better than sitting in the sun with a cold drink and a good book.
There is nothing better than sitting in the sun with a cold drink and a good book.
Feminism has destroyed everything that allowed women to have sexual power over quality men.
Another young woman was raped in this country, and she spoke out about it, and for once, the authorities did something. So maybe, finally, after years of victim shaming and the taboo on such a fraught topic, we are finally getting somewhere.
When you're in Duluth, it's worth driving over to Superior, Wisconsin just so you can say you crossed the Dick Bong Bridge.
You turn into this panty-showing, floor-touching, bent-over-at-the-waist grind monster, and everything is a blur of rubbing body parts and pulling up on your strapless dress.

This is one of the biggest brow gems that I can share with you because not only do I always do it on my clients, but I also do it daily on myself! The first part of the brow can be more sparse or even grow in a different direction than the rest of your brow hairs. Because of this, it becomes a dead giveaway when you fill that area in. But there's a way to include that area without looking like you did! Here's how: READ MORE…
This tutorial was created especially for those whose cheekbones haven't come in yet! I grew up on the extreme end of chubby cheeks… borderline chipmunk cheeks that people loved to pinch (which made me cringe!). My mom always said "don't worry honey, your cheekbones will come in when you're 25″ and low and behold they did! But what do you do until then (besides embracing them)? The High Flush of course! This makes your cheeks appear higher and smaller than they actually are. Here's how:
- Your Favorite Blush — We love Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Sunset and Flamingo or Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Swish & Pop Blusher in Love is the Drug.
- Your Favorite Blush Brush — We love MAKE UP FOR EVER Artisan Large Flat Blush Brush because it's the perfect brush for powder blush. We also love the Cozzette S Series Vegan Brushes if you're looking for a new set!
- Swirl the brush across the powder and give it a tap against your counter. Place it on the top outer corner of the apple as demonstrated above.
- Now sweep the brush towards your temple.
If you want to really slim and hollow out your cheeks, pair this with my Contouring 101 Tutorial.
Yes we love buying new lipsticks every season, but there's no real reason to in the Summer if you try this quick trick! Just sheer out your dark and rich Winter lipsticks, converting them into lighter version of themselves! I included a side-by-side of Lexie above to show you how it looks on its own then how it looks when you sheer it out. It's nothing groundbreaking and you might have already figured it out on your own… but it's a good one! Here's how: READ MORE…
We've been schooled to believe that if we have oily or acne-prone skin, everything we buy needs to be "oil-free" or it will break us out. That couldn't be further from the truth. Period! Ceansing oils are actually non-comedogenic and won't clog pores.
Here's the deal: A lot of oil-free cleansers out there strip our skin of natural oils, leaving it unbalanced and causing it to create more oil to rebalance it. Excess oil production equals more problematic skin. So I dare you to go against conventional wisdom and try the oil cleansing method. If you have oily skin, wash it with a cleansing oil. If you have dry skin, wash it with a cleansing oil. If you have normal skin, wash it with a cleansing oil. Get it? It's the answer a lot of you have been looking for. It calms your skin down. Tells it everything is going to be ok. Keeps its natural pH balance without disturbing its natural moisture barrier. Prevents it from having to go into oil production overload. Essential oils in the cleansing oils are naturally antibacterial. It's a win-win situation. Try it for a month and let us know if it works for you too. Here's how:
- Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil — great for oily skin, it washes away impurities without causing breakouts.
- Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil — great for all skin types and wipes away not only makeup but pollutants too.
- Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Oil — great for dry skin because it hydrates as it removes impurities.
- Boscia Makeup Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil — especially great for sensitive skin.
- DIY — use avocado oil, jojoba oil or extra-virgin raw non-GMO coconut oil!
- Pump the oil a couple of times into the palm of your hand.
- Rub your hands together so it spreads across your fingertips as well.
- Rub your hands all over your dry face starting wherever you want to (Carissa started on her cheeks above).
- Gently massage it across your stubborn eye makeup.
- Continue massaging it over your face.
- Don't forget to rub it over your lip area too.
- Fill your hands with warm water and splash it over your face area.
- Continue with a wet wash cloth then pat dry.
Leave your favorite DIY cleansing oils in the comments below. Or if you're going to take the leap of faith and try it for a month, make sure to come back and tell us how it worked!

Election 2012: Three San Diego City Council District One candidates challenge incumbent Lightner for seat
By Joe Tash
Incumbent District 1 San Diego Councilwoman Sherri Lightner has her hands full as the June 5 primary election approaches, juggling the responsibilities of what she called a "more than full-time job" while trying to fend off three challengers for her seat.
Lightner, a mechanical engineer and former La Jolla and University City activist, is running against businessman Ray Ellis, attorney Bryan Pease and retired business executive Dennis Ridz, who is chairman of the Torrey Pines Community Planning Board.
The race is officially non-partisan, but party affiliations may impact the outcome: Lightner and Pease are Democrats, while Ellis and Ridz are Republicans.
Thanks to last year's citywide redistricting following the 2010 census, District 1 will look a bit different after this year's election. Rancho Peñasquitos is no longer part of the district, and a sliver of La Jolla has been reunited with the rest of the community.
The district now includes Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights, Torrey Pines, University City and La Jolla.
If no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast June 5, the top two vote-getters will face off in a November runoff.
Among the top issues citywide are city finances, pension reform, expansion of the convention center and a new Chargers stadium, while North City issues include a proposed mixed-use development on Del Mar Heights Road called One Paseo, and planning for the completion of connectors between Interstate 5 and State Route 56.
Three of the candidates — Lightner, Ellis and Ridz — support Prop. B, a measure on San Diego's June ballot that proposes to reduce city pension costs by providing a 401k-style retirement plan instead of a pension to all new city employees except police officers, and change other city pension rules.
Lightner noted that the city has already transitioned most categories of new hires to a 401k-style plan. The ballot measure would add firefighters, managers, lifeguards and elected officials to that list. Eventually, she said, the choice of pension or 401k will be offered to current employees. Retirees already receiving a pension would not be affected by the changes.
"We have righted the city's financial ship" through pension reform, managed competition and reforms to retire health benefits, Lightner said. Those efforts, along with an improving economy, have helped the city improve its credit rating and go from an annual budget deficit to a surplus since she took office.
But Ellis, a former appointed member of the city's pension board, criticized Lightner and her council colleagues for failing to increase their own pension contributions, and not moving aggressively enough on managed competition, which is when city employees bid against private companies to provide city services.
Ellis said city voters approved managed competition six years ago, but so far the city has only processed three such competitive bids. In one case, the city's fleet management department trimmed $4.4 million from its own budget while winning a bid to maintain city vehicles. Ellis said the council should have been scrutinizing the budgets of city departments more closely, and acted sooner to save taxpayer dollars from waste and inefficiency.

Tough Mudder's 20 Most Badass Obstacles
15. Mud Mile
True to its name, Mud Mile is a mud run, but really only lasts a quarter mile. However, after just a fraction of the distance, you'll be ready for it to end. Wade and run through a series of waist deep water pits about 15 yards wide. A five-foot wall separates each pit that's necessary to scale to reach the next pit. Be careful of the uneven, muddy bottom with hidden random holes and drop offs. At the end crawl through a short section of mud before reaching a dry trail.
Hint: Before you tackle Mud Mile, take a second and tie your shoes extra tight. You'll be glad you did. Suction forces from the friction of the mud and the wrenching of your foot through it threaten to suck your shoe right off.

"An interesting look at a forgotten front"
I possibly would read another work by Mark Thompson but it would very much depend upon the subject matter.
I had started reading this book in print but it all got to be a bit to much as there was so much content. As an Audible I was able to bite off as much or as little as I wanted at any given time.
"A good transition from paper to audible"
I have, and will, 're-read' Going Postal. The story flows very well and has the ability to both draw you into the story over an evening or else drip feed the story one chapter at a time.
As with almost all of the Pratchett works, the more you listen to (or read), the more absorbed you become in Disc World. There are a number of story-lines available in the Disc World series - so pick the line that you wish to follow and go from there.

The Denver Broncos have traded Tim Tebow to the New York Jets for a fourth-round draft choice.
Here's the NFL's press release announcing Payton's suspension:
Commissioner Roger Goodell notified the New Orleans Saints today of the discipline that will be imposed on team management for violations of the NFL's long-standing "bounty" rule that endangered player safety over a three-year period.
Discipline for individual players involved in the Saints' prohibited program continues to be under review with the NFL Players Association and will be addressed by Commissioner Goodell at a later date. The program included "bounty" payments for "knock-outs" and "cart-offs," plays on which an opposing player was forced to leave the game. At times, the bounties even targeted specific players by name.
The NFL's extensive investigation established the existence of an active bounty program on the Saints during the 2009, 2010, and 2011 seasons in violation of league rules, a deliberate effort to conceal the program's existence from league investigators, and a clear determination to maintain the program despite express direction from Saints ownership that it stop as well as ongoing inquiries from the league office.
"We are all accountable and responsible for player health and safety and the integrity of the game," Commissioner Goodell said. "We will not tolerate conduct or a culture that undermines those priorities. No one is above the game or the rules that govern it. Respect for the game and the people who participate in it will not be compromised."
"A combination of elements made this matter particularly unusual and egregious," Commissioner Goodell continued. "When there is targeting of players for injury and cash rewards over a three-year period, the involvement of the coaching staff, and three years of denials and willful disrespect of the rules, a strong and lasting message must be sent that such conduct is totally unacceptable and has no place in the game."
Following the March 2 announcement of the NFL's initial findings, the league office conducted further investigation, including Commissioner Goodell meeting with many of the key individuals involved, sometimes on multiple occasions. The commissioner also discussed the matter with the leadership of the NFL Players Association and individual players.
Based on the record, Commissioner Goodell has imposed the following discipline on Saints management:
• The New Orleans Saints are fined $500,000. In addition, because the violation involves a competitive rule, the Saints will forfeit their selections in the second round of the 2012 and 2013 NFL drafts.
• Saints Head Coach Sean Payton is suspended without pay for the 2012 NFL season, effective April 1.
• Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis is suspended without pay for the first eight regular-season games of the 2012 season.
• Former Saints (and current St. Louis Rams) defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is suspended indefinitely from the NFL, effective immediately. Commissioner Goodell will review Coach Williams' status at the conclusion of the 2012 season and consider whether to reinstate him, and, if so, on what terms. Commissioner Goodell said he will give close attention to the extent to which Coach Williams cooperates with the NFL in any further proceedings.

Ahmed Abdel Fattah, Associated Press
CAIRO — Egypt will restrict sermons during the holy month of Ramadan to topics of faith and morality, the state's top official in charge of religious affairs said Sunday, in the latest measure by the government to control mosques and limit access of opponents to them.
The announcement is yet another move by authorities to crackdown on supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, and limiting in the process free speech in the deeply polarized country.
Mohammed Mokhtar Gomaa said the decision should ensure that sermons during Islam's holy month of fasting "unite people, not divide them." He said the religious speech had been "hijacked" for political purposes, in reference to the previous government, led by Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
"The religious speech was politically driven, which affected the moral side," he told reporters at a news conference on the first day of the observance. "Now we're in a race against time trying to restore morals."
Morsi was ousted last year following mass protests against him denouncing his group's attempt to monopolize power. The military removed Morsi, and its chief, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, was elected president earlier this month.
In his campaign, el-Sissi stressed that religious discourse needs to be restructured, saying a free for all interpretation of religion has helped spread extremism. Islamist groups rely on mosques to recruit new members and also rally for political positions ahead of votes.
Since Morsi's ouster, religious authorities moved to purge mosques from preachers deemed supportive of Islamists and have set guidelines for Friday sermons.
Gomaa said new regulations will also specify what the sermons will address in Ramadan, when more worshippers than usual spend time in mosques, praying and listening to religious lessons. Ramadan is the time Muslims believe God started to reveal the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad, and for believers, it is a time of reflection and worship, remembering the hardships of others and being charitable.
The ministry has also set new rules to regulate a Ramadan tradition - one where many people spend the last ten days of the month inside mosques, praying, fasting and reading the Quran. The Brotherhood and other Islamist groups often used the retreat for recruitment.
The ministry's website said that this year, the stay would be allowed only in central mosques under the supervision of a state-authorized cleric. The buildings will only host people who live in the immediate neighborhood.
It was not clear how the government plans to implement the regulations.
Some 12,000 independent preachers have been barred from delivering sermons. In recent months, the ministry's website had been posting outlines for the weekly sermons delivered each Friday. Anyone who strays from them in Egypt's more than 100,000 mosques risks removal.
Last Friday's sermon spoke about "rationalizing consumption," just after the president mentioned the country needed belt-tightening efforts from all Egyptians.
Gomaa said Sunday 50,000 licensed preachers will be deployed to lead late night Ramadan prayers. The ministry had already restricted preaching in mosques to state-authorized clerics.
He reiterated a ban on holding Friday prayers at thousands of small, unregulated mosques known as "zawaya."
A number of measures have been used to crack down on the Brotherhood. It has been declared a terrorist organization and some of its members have had their assets frozen. The government has also passed a new law restricting protests.
In a separate development, a Cairo appeal court has set July 22 as the date of a retrial for a prominent Egyptian activist sentenced to 15 years in prison in absentia for organizing an unauthorized protest and assaulting a policeman.
The sentencing of Alaa Abdel-Fattah and 24 others was the latest blow to liberal activists at a time of rapidly eroding freedoms.
The sentence was the toughest against any of the secular activists behind the 18-day uprising that ended the reign of longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. It is also the first conviction of a prominent activist since el-Sissi took office.
Also on Sunday, el-Sissi approved an amended budget that reduces expenditures from $115 billion, the largest budget in Egypt's history, down to $111 billion. The Finance Ministry said the budget reduces the deficit from 12 percent to 10 percent. Details of the budget will be announced Monday.

DM&P has been producing low-power, x86-based Vortex processors for the embedded market for over ten years. Now in a nod to the Arduino market they have released the 86Duino Zero, a low-cost Arduino Leonardo sized board powered by their latest 300 MHz SoC Vortex86EX Processor.
This is a fully static 32-bit x86 processor board compatible with Windows OS, Linux and most other popular 32-bit RTOS. It integrates a PCIE bus, DDR3, ROM controller, xISA, I2C, SPI, IPC (Internal Peripheral Controllers with DMA and interrupt timer/counter included). The 86Duino Zero's ports include USB 2.0 host and device coastline ports, a 10/100 Ethernet port and a microSD slot on the bottom of the board. The Zero's baseboard also provides a 7-12V power jack, a reset button and a PCIe expansion connector.
The Zero supplies 14 digital I/O pins, half of which can provide 32-bit resolution PWM outputs and six 11-bit analog input pins. Each standard I/O pin supplies 16 mA while the 3.3 V pins can supply up to 400 mA. Like the Intel Galileo development board announced several weeks ago the 86Duino Zero marries Intel architecture to the Arduino platform. Its $39 price tag makes it an attractive proposition. [via]
The 86Duino Zero Runs Linux on x86 - [Link]
Gert van Loo, the Broadcom employee responsible for the RPi alpha build has now come up with the Gertduino. He also gave us the GertBoard GPIO Expansion board some time ago which provides general purpose I/Os, LEDs and motor driver capabilities for the Rpi. Gert's latest creation, the Gertduino board, plugs onto the RPi and connects it to virtually any existing Arduino Shield. The board itself basically offers the same functionality as the Arduino-Uno but with some added features thrown in.
As well as an ATmega328 and ATmega48 (both of which can be programmed from the Raspberry Pi using the Arduino GUI or the GCC Atmel compiler), the Gertduino packs a real time clock, 16MHz oscillator, IRDA interface, RS232 level converter and a battery back-up power supply for the ATmega48.
Gertduino: The Raspberry Pi /Arduino Missing Link - [Link]
Cortado connects your physical things to the digital world. It's an Arduino that you'll never plug in, and it works on all your favorite platforms including mobile (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android). It connects via Bluetooth Low Energy, an efficient protocol meant for supporting low-power sensors. If there ever was a building block for the Internet of Things, this is it.
It's so easy to interact with Cortado, we think it will inspire an entirely new interaction flow. To illustrate this, the pre-ordered units will be turned on before they ship. If you download our app, you will get a BLE notification on your iPhone when your Cortado is nearby. You'll even be able to program it while it's still in the box!

Bajdi documented his Arduino self balancing bot build:
For the electronics I used one of my own PCB creations, a Bajduino of course It's just a small (50x50mm) break out board for an ATmega328. I'm running the ATmega @ 16MHz and 3.3V. It's out of spec according to the datasheet but it works… I also needed an IMU of course. I found a MP6050 sensor in my parts box. The MPU6050 combines a 3 DOF gyro and 3 DOF accelerometer in a small package, ideal for a self balancing bot.

Dr. Megan Smith and [krazatchu] have cooked up a circuit board to control Christmas lights. It's Arduino compatible, based on the Mega328 and has a microphone, audio line in and a light sensor. It can switch 7 strings of lights with the ULN2003 transistor array. It also has Infrared for communications, to work with a TV remote or to talk among themselves to coordinate lighting events (it will be using some code from firefly project: http://www.lumipendant.com/ )

Raffael @ code-bude.net build a webradio by himself. It's made from an Arduino, an hacked TP-Link WR703N router and some interface parts.
Today I want to present you one of my larger craft projects. This time it is not just about software, but also about the associated hardware. What is it? A web radio!
I like to listen to internet radio stations, but I didn't want to run my pc only for listening to webradios. Connecting my phone to my stereo either wasn't a solution, since I'd rather wear this with me, because I don't want to run for each SMS / Whatsapp message to the music system. And because I always like to tinker, it was obvious to build a web radio as a standalone device myself.

Amlin Challenge Cup: Newport Gwent Dragons roar to victory over Bordeaux-Begles
Related links

Newport Gwent Dragons boosted their bid to reach the Amlin Challenge Cup knockout stages with a bonus-point 40-24 win over Bordeaux-Begles at Rodney Parade.
The Welsh region took control of the contest thanks to three first-half tries from Patrick Leach, Matthew Pewtner and Hallam Amos.
Toby Faletau and Ashley Smith added further scores after the break to secure the bonus point and sent the Dragons took of Pool Two ahead of the return match in France next Thursday.
The home side surged into a 12-0 lead after nine minutes after tries to Leech and Pewtner, with fly-half Jason Tovey converting only the latter.
Manu Saubusse made up for an earlier miss to get the French side on the scoreboard after 21 minutes but the Dragons' third try came on the half-hour to give them control.
Newly-capped Wales international Amos ran onto a short pass from scrum-half Wayne Evans and burst through to touch down before Tovey converted.
Jefferson Poirot responded with Bordeaux's first try but Tovey sent the Dragons into the break 22-10 ahead.
Tovey, who kicked over 15 points in total, added another penalty shortly after the interval.
Bonus point
Bordeaux were awarded a penalty try on 55 minutes but moments later Faletau powered over for a try to seal the bonus point.
Amos then helped Smith go over seven minutes from the end for breathing space that might prove crucial at the end of the group phase after replacement Jean-Baptiste Lamotte touched down late.
The visitors were therefore in sight of a losing bonus-point but the Dragons held out as they won for just the fifth time in their past 13 matches in this competition.

If you like the itinerary below please quote REF CHINA 1970 when enquiring for further details.
Alternatively you may like modify this trip with your own Holiday Wish List
Welcome to China and the start of your holiday! Enjoy an arrival transfer to our hotel.
This morning, we tour the centre of Beijing, China's magnificent capital, including the massive Tiananmen Square and the sprawling Forbidden City. Boasting some 9999 rooms, the city within a city was once the sole preserve of the Chinese emperors. This afternoon we take a rickshaw ride through the Hutongs of Beijing and this evening, we enjoy an eye boggling Chinese acrobatic performance. Swinging ropes, juggling hoops, spinning plates and human pyramids are just a few tricks these show stoppers pull out followed by a Welcome Dinner of Peking Duck at a city restaurant.
Today, drive to Badaling, where we can walk on a section of the famous Great Wall. A symbol of total Chinese genius, the Great Wall is a cultural icon. At least 20 dynasties were involved in its construction. Stretching some 6700 kilometres, we walk along just a small chunk of this massive masterpiece of human endeavour. Later we visit a cloisonne workshop, viewing the step-by-step process of this curious, yet quite beautiful art form. This evening take an optional Beijing by Night city tour and see some of the capital's monuments illuminated against the night sky (payable locally).
At the Summer Palace on Kunming Lake, we view the lavishly decorated temples, halls and courts, reconstructed in 1902. The Long Corridor, a hand painted 730m covered walkway, offers gentle respite from the elements. This afternoon, even the most hardened non-shoppers can't help coming away with a few goodies at the Silk Alley markets. Name-brand attire, bling-bling jewellery, knock-off handbags and shoes are popular acquisitions. Later we travel by train to Xi'an viewing en route the Beijing 2008 Olympic Stadium and Aquatic Centre.
Xi'an is Shaanxi Province is perhaps most famous for Emperor Qin's Terracotta Warriors. Discovered in 1974 by local farmers digging a well, the 7,000 life-sized soldiers, some 2,200 years old, stand battle-ready in excavated pits under the cover of a modern protective hanger. We tour the archaeological site and Terracotta warrior replica workshop.
Spend the morning at leisure before touring the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and taking a bike ride along the great Old City Wall. Peering from the Old City Wall offers spectacular, if not unique views of the city and residence going about their daily lives.
Spend the morning at leisure before flying to Chongqing, the start point for our exciting Yangtze River cruise. Before boarding the cruise we can stroll along Chongqing's People's Square, in the city centre.
The first gorge we pass, Qutangxia Gorge is the shortest and narrowest yet the most impressive. Here, the dramatic 1200m limestone peaks are often shrouded in mist and the river shoots through the narrow entrance with great haste. Next comes Wuxia Gorge, which straddles Sichuan and Hubei Provinces. Lined by twelve sheer peaks, Wuxia offers an spectacular vista for some 45km. Finally is Xiling Gorge, the longest at 75km and which comprises seven smaller gorges. During our cruise, we'll also sail through the new ship locks of the impressive Three Gorges Dam construction. Whilst cruising, shore excursions are offered at no additional expense.
We disembark from our cruise in Yichang late this morning. After lunch we take a high speed train bound for Nanjing. Reaching speeds of over 310km per hour we head to Nanjing in just a little more than 5.5 hours arriving late evening.
Spend the morning at leisure before we enjoy lunch and embark on our afternoon city sightseeing tour. Former capital of the Ming Dynasty and capital of Republican China, from 1911 - 1949, Nanjing holds a rich history of both ancient and modern China. We visit the Fuzi Miao (Temple of Confucius) and the Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre, which is a moving experience that charts the atrocities committed at this very site.
A short train journey East is Suzhou in Jiangsu Province. The charming city boasts extensive waterways and canals dotted with traditional bridges, houses and gardens. A cruise on the Grand Canal exposes Suzhou's beauty, as does our exploration of the humble administrator's house and garden.
An hour's journey brings us to bustling Shanghai to enjoy a city tour including the Oriental Pearl TV tower, the Jade Buddha Temple, French Quarter, The Bund and the Yunnan Gardens and Old City.

John Bowers and Vincent Herrera were the area's top high school distance runners this past year.
It turns out that Todd Hardcastle has one more high school softball game to coach.
CLOVIS - The clock struck midnight sooner than Vincent Herrera wanted.
Vincent Herrera graduated from Manteca High last week, but he has one more day to sport the school's colors.
When the Manteca Little League major division White Sox fell behind the A's 1-0 in the first inning, the chances of their season ending seemed pretty good.
It was only fitting that when post-season accolades were distributed for Trans Valley League play, that nine Ripon Indians led the charge securing the most spots on the 2010 all-TVL team.
Just like every other athlete in this area that is closing down their season, me and this dude I work for are closing down another campaign.
SACRAMENTO - One came up inches short. Another was fast enough by an eye blink.
A season to remember got a little bit better for Ripon Christian head coach John De Visser and senior Clayton Prins.
After a softball season that saw the Escalon Cougars put together another Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Championship run, Ripon and Ripon Christian high schools saw the reward of their hard work payoff with the announcing of the All-Trans Valley League team.
SACRAMENTO - Hector Solorio ran and hurdled the race of his life.
Manteca High's Matt Barber closed out his senior season as the Valley Oak League's Most Valuable Player.
SACRAMENTO – The level of play it would have taken for the Manteca Buffaloes to compete for their first Sac-Joaquin Section title in school history abandoned them, in a season-ending 5-1 second round loss to El Dorado Wednesday at McAuliffe Memorial Park.
Sierra High junior Ulysses Knapps walked away from the long jump pit at Modesto Junior College last Thursday with a Sac-Joaquin Section Division III title in the event but was not completely satisfied.
Teammates and coaches call her "Hammer," and it's a fitting description to what East Union High junior Brittany LaMar did for the Lancers this season.
The weather is expected to cooperate for today's Valley Oak League rematch between Manteca and Central Catholic, which was originally postponed because of rain last Thursday.
Brooke Riley's round didn't end as well as she had hoped during East Union's Valley Oak League dual match at Oakdale Golf and Country Club on Tuesday.
Scoring was at a premium Saturday when the Manteca Jr. Timberwolves junior novice squad locked up with the Tracy Jr. Bulldogs, who prevailed 6-0 in Delta Youth Football League action.
STOCKTON - The blond streak in Esteban Paramo's hair may have started as a personal statement of style, but it's come to symbolize something much bigger.
Sierra played perfect defense from the second minute to the 78th Monday against visiting East Union.
Brooke Riley shot an even-par 37 to lead East Union's 246-288 win over Manteca at Manteca Park Golf Course. Monday's win moves the Lancers to 5-0 in the Valley Oak League.
