Absa Capital said sub-Saharan Africa's largest economies will expand about 5 percent over the next few years, retaining the region's position as the world's fastest growing market behind emerging Asian nations.
Absa Capital, a unit of South Africa's Absa Group Ltd. , said it may start the first gold- backed exchange-traded funds in Kenya and Nigeria.
Transnet Ltd., South Africa's state- owned rail and port operator, delayed a sale of dollar bonds after meeting with U.S. and European investors last week because of adverse market conditions, according to Barclays Plc-owned Absa Capital, which advised on the transaction.
Barclays Plc, the U.K.'s second- largest bank by assets, will boost hiring and increase lending at its corporate banking business in Dubai as the lender seeks expansion in emerging markets.
Absa Group Ltd. is tapping the international expertise of its parent Barclays Plc in a bid to scale South Africa's rankings for mergers and acquisitions.
Absa Capital, the corporate and investment banking unit of Absa Group Ltd., listed its NewGold Exchange Traded Fund on the Nigeria Stock Exchange today, the bourse said.
The Mauritian rupee may gain against the dollar this week on optimism the debt crisis in Europe, the island nation's biggest trading partner, will ease, Absa Capital said.
Barclays Plc's South African unit said its investment banking head Stephen Van Coller has been subpoenaed to appear before a commission of inquiry.

Accidental Removal of Sound Device
I purchased a Soundfreaq Sound Platform (SFQ-01) and connected it to my HP Pavilion p7 using Windows 7 via Bluetooth.
A Sound Platform icon was now in the Hardware & Sound - Devices & Printers window. Because I have multiple devices hooked up via bluetooth to the sound platform I would have to manually connect and disconnect each.
Now the problem -- I accidentally deleted the Sound Platform icon, and can't for the life of me find any way to connect to it via my pc without it.
I understand I could use a restore point, but in this scenario it is not an option.
Also once a device has been connected via bluetooth my pc will not find it again when I try to sync it again.
Please help!!!

text: KFOX14 - kfoxtv.com - Search Results The following is an archived video story. The text content of that video story is available below for reference. The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. $25,000 spent renovating EPISD offices amid budget crisis; district respondsBy: Bill MeluginEL PASO, Texas -- Newly released documents show around $25,000 was spent remodeling executive offices at the El Paso Independent School District while the district faces a $17 million budget deficit.KFOX14 has been the only TV station investigating the costs associated with the renovations.After more than a week of asking the district about the costs, and having our requests to see the offices denied repeatedly, KFOX14 exclusively obtained multiple EPISD purchase orders from an anonymous source on Wednesday showing $9,500 had been spent renovating Superintendent Juan Cabrera's office.Shortly after that, EPISD promised KFOX14 a tour of the offices and a full list of all expenditures.On Thursday KFOX14 received the full open records request and were given a full tour of the offices.District officials gave KFOX14 a walkthrough of several administrative offices that were renovated - offices were combined and walls were knocked down.Cabrera's office included all the items listed in the purchase orders including a new glass showcase with glass shelves and doors, new carpeting, a high-capacity refrigerator, a microwave and new conference chairs.EPISD officials said walls were pushed out and 161 square feet was added to the room for extra meeting space, and all of Cabrera's renovations were done by December. The entire office area was finished a few weeks ago.See a walkthrough of the renovations.The district's new chief of staff Dr. Tom Miller answered some questions about the timing of the renovations."Actually, the renovations to the executive offices were planned before they even hired Mr. Cabrera; much of the work was completed before he was brought on as superintendent," Miller said. "After he came, they had allocated additional money in this year's budget to complete the renovations because they weren't finished, so a lot of it was completed in December 2013 before the budget shortfall was even discovered. I know that they needed to complete the work, so the rest of the executive team, including myself, could come in and occupy the offices. This is the first time in three years, I believe, that there's been a full executive team working with the superintendent. So, he wanted to get his team on board, and that's why they did some of the remodeling and things that they did."KFOX14 received numerous emails from EPISD teachers including photos of damaged equipment in their classrooms, wondering why only central office is getting renovations.KFOX14 asked Miller to respond to allegations that the district cares more about its top high-paying administrators than it does its teachers and students."I think we always put our students as a high priority. I worked in the YSLETA district for 18 years, and I know we put a high priority on getting those things fixed," Miller said. "I'm sure there's a maintenance schedule, I'm sure those things are on the schedule and I'm positive they'll be fixed."District officials said that although $25,000 sounds like a lot of money, it isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Officials said these renovations were very necessary.Miller was asked about the apparent secrecy on the part of EPISD in not allowing KFOX14 to view the offices for more than a week."I don't know that it was secrecy initially. I know that we've been trying to get the costs together, also for the last week, Mr. Cabrera has been extremely busy dealing with the budget situation we've got," Miller said. "I don't think it was a question of hiding anything or avoiding anything, that's why we're having this session today."KFOX14 also asked Miller why the renovations were done when the building's lease expires in three years."Well, people have to work somewhere," Miller said."Whether or not we're gonna leave here in three years or whenever, I think the work needed to be done; some of the stuff in there was useless."

1/21/2014 (Updated 10:56:07 PM)On Monday, we shared with you the story of an Endicott woman who came forward on national television to talk about sex abuse.
As we've reported, Holley Angel had her husband Brian arrested for sexually abusing family members and girls in her neighborhood. She says she suspects some of the abuse took place over 11 years.
Executive director of Rise, an organization that works with domestic abuse victims, says in two thirds of cases the perpetrator is family member of friend of the victim, making it harder for the victim to speak out.
She says its important for the victim to do what he or she feels is safe, but that it is important to tell someone.
"Perpetrators continue to move on or do more damage possibly to other people. So it's breaking that fear --it's certainly a good thing. Psychologically for the victim and helps other people but it's a difficult thing to do," said Rebecca Allerton, Executive Director of RISE.
She estimates 60-90 percent of abuse cases aren't reported.
If you are victim of abuse you can call the rise 24 hour hotline at 754-4340

Celtic boss Neil Lennon frustrated after AC Milan seal late victory
Celtic boss Neil Lennon says his side were unlucky to be beaten by AC Milan in their Champions League group opener.
They were undone by two late goals at the San Siro. Emilio Izaguirre deflected Cristian Zapata's 82nd-minute shot into his own net before Sulley Muntari added a second soon afterwards.
"The scoreline flatters Milan - there wasn't two goals between us at all," said Lennon.
"I felt at times we were the better team playing the better football."
Neil Lennon
"We've got an excellent side - we made the last 16 last year and that wasn't a fluke"
The Scottish champions travel home rueing several missed chances, with Charlie Mulgrew and Georgios Samaras having opportunities before an Anthony Stokes free-kick clipped the bar.
The two late goals, however, were enough to leave Celtic heading home pointless for the 20th time in 22 away games.
Lennon said: "I'm very disappointed, because for long periods of the game we were the better team.
"To come away from the San Siro disappointed at not picking up a point - or three points - is a mark of how well we've developed and played, but you have to take your chances when you're on top and unfortunately we didn't get the break of the ball.
"I don't know why everyone is so surprised - particularly any Scottish journalists - you've seen us play for the last 18 months. We've got an excellent side; we made the last 16 last year and that wasn't a fluke."
Milan looked frustrated for long spells and Lennon stressed that his players had travelled to Italy confident of returning home with at least a point.
"We were in good spirits coming into the game and we fancied ourselves to get some kind of result," he said.
The Celtic manager's attention now turns to another mouth-watering Champions League clash, at home to Barcelona on 1 October.
The Spanish giants hammered Ajax 4-0 in Group H's other game on Wednesday.
"We have Barcelona coming up, who are a different animal.
"We had two epic games with them last year and I've told the players to hold on to the feeling of disappointment tonight and take it into the game in two weeks' time.
"We're here to compete and we're here to try to qualify, and nothing changes my view on that after tonight's performance."

Jackie, Audrey, Brigitte and More: Nail Their Signature Summer Styles
I was watching some commercial for a department store the other day, and when the girl in it called a pair of shorts "the ideal summer style," I had a bit of a "Huh?" moment. Like, ideal summer style for who? I'm pretty sure "summer style" means concert-ready studded cutoffs for one girl and Nantucket red bermuda shorts for the next. Really, summer style's not about one look but several—preppy, bohemian, trend-trying—so when I think of it, I think of a handful of things—and more often, people.
Usually it's a celebrity or movie character that really embodied a certain look, like Brigitte Bardot in her glamorous caftans. She always seemed like she was either just coming from a yacht or about to board one, so she's brilliant inspiration when I'm heading to the beach but I want to look fancy. But she's not my only touchstone for "what do I wear?" summer mornings: below, eight of my most favorite warm-weather style inspirations who happen to all be very different, too. Whatever your idea of "summer style" is, it's in there, in its most ideal, quintessential form. (And so are pieces you can shop to nail each look, because what fun would it be without that?)
Audrey Hepburn: The Preppy Summer Look
Kate Moss: The Dramatic Summer Look
Bo Derek: The Exotic Beach Look
Brigitte Bardot: The Just-Stepped-Off-a-Yacht Look
Kate Bosworth: The Festival-Ready Look
Marilyn Monroe: The Pin-Up Beach Look
Rachel Zoe: The Bohemian Summer Look
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: The Polished Summer Look

The Chef Behind: Godiwalla Caterers
Tanaz Godiwalla is the undisputed high priestess of Parsi wedding catering. Families are known to call Godiwalla before they book a venue or finalise the guest list. We wouldn't be surprised if a few of them inform Godiwalla of the date before they telephone close relatives. After all, her catering services are so much in demand that her appointments diary is already packed with commitments until December 2014.
Godiwalla Caterers have been the community favourites for over four decades now. "Both my parents were great cooks; we had this tradition of cook-offs in which my siblings and I got to decide who made the better meal," said Godiwalla whose father Rohinton and mother Freny set up a small canteen in Colaba's Cusrow Baug in 1965. Their business gradually grew to become a catering service dedicated to weddings and Navjotes (a thread ceremony during which a child is inducted into Zoroastrianism). Tanaz Godiwalla took charge of the business in 1991, at the age of 21. Today, she single-handedly manages a staff of 350 people, and between November and March every year, she caters as many as 150 weddings and Navjotes a month. Godiwalla takes the rest of the year off to travel and attend to her table grape farm in Nashik.
If you've attended a wedding catered by Godiwalla (and chances are that if you've been to a Parsi wedding in Mumbai, it's her food that you have eaten), you will agree that her extended holiday is well deserved. The lagan nu bhonu is a sit-down affair, where guests eat their meals in three or four orderly batches or sittings. Each batch is allotted about 40 minutes before the next set of hungry attendees queues up for the ceremonial grub. For the service to be smooth, the proceedings in the kitchen have to be seamless. Godiwalla runs an exemplary one, typically a vast empty room in a baug (the traditional Parsi wedding venue) that she converts into a kitchen by designating areas for peeling, chopping, frying, slow cooking and assembly. Sets of workers are assigned different duties that include boiling and frying eggs, marinating chicken, boiling or steaming fish, rolling and cooking chapatis, and frying sariya (long, rectangular wafer strips). "It's almost like a first, second and third dance that the team has mastered," said Godiwalla. "They can pull it off blindfolded."
Godiwalla's confidence in her staff is matched by her confidence in her food. "If I like it, I know the rest of the crowd will too," said Godiwalla. At any function that she caters, Godiwalla will be seen wielding a teaspoon to taste all the food before it's served to the guests. At a Parsi wedding, there are rarely any surprises as far as the menu is concerned. Chicken, fish, and mutton pulao and daal make up the standard wedding fare and the courses too are fixed. The meal always starts with the lagan nu acchar, rotli, and sariya; it ends with either lagan nu custard or kulfi; and has to include raspberry and ginger flavoured sodas. "At the most, someone will pick saas ni macchi (pomfret cooked in a sweet and spicy gravy) over patra ni macchi (steamed pomfret smeared with a spicy green chutney and served in a banana leaf) or opt for chicken bharuchi (chicken cooked with green garlic) instead of salli chicken," said Godiwalla. For clients who want more elaborate menus, Godiwalla serves sweet and sour lamb; salli boti; dhan daal patio (rice, lentils and fish cooked in a sweet and tangy coconut-based gravy with drumsticks); and sukha bombil. Dhansak however is left off all menus because the dish is usually served on the fourth day after a person's death.
On a busy day with multiple weddings to cater, Godiwalla and her team cook about 2,000 pieces of pomfret, over 1,000 kilos of chicken, and about 500 kilos of lamb. All the dishes are cooked using firewood, which Godiwalla says enhances the flavour of the food. Remarkably, for wedding receptions that typically start at 7.30pm, the cooking only starts after 5pm. This is because Godiwalla is against the practice of serving reheated food, which is common at most weddings. Because she doesn't have her own central kitchen, she takes orders for tiffins only on days that she is catering a wedding or a Navjote at a baug. "It's not Parsi food if it's not cooked in a baug," said Godiwalla. No culinary task appears to be too daunting for Godiwalla who works a daily 10am to 1am shift during the wedding season. Surprisingly, she fumbled when we asked her for favourite Parsi recipe. "I have no idea what quantity is required to cook for one person or a small group of people," said Godiwalla. "But if it's for a party of 500, I'm the person you want."

Thank you for a job well done. Everything was so exquisite!
No one provides better, more beautiful food and service than you. You come in quietly and efficiently to my kitchen and produce the best offerings
Firstly Debu, who wants to have masoor ma gosh on such occasions,eat at home,it is so simple to cook.
Secondly MR, i would say ur comment is absurd regarding rat in salli chicken,sorry this is simply unbelievable.
Thirdly Tanaz Godiwala is so capable to cater thousands of guests at more than one venue at the same time, that is why she is offered Gahambars catering.Recently she has done three Gahambars in one shot.I salute her.
Debu, if it's authentic Parsi home food you want, you should try Rashna Maneckshaw. She caters to small parties and also sends dabbas of quaint little dishes you only find in Nausari and Udwada homes.
Dukes Raspberry !
Godiwala's food has declined over the years (a rat in the salli ma murgi is not appetizing) ..its basically her reputation thats keeping her going.
Instead people should try Cheron caterers..amazing food. their jardalu ma ghos and kid ghos is unbeatable!
my cousin's navjote were amongst the first few when Rohinton uncle (The Godiwala) started with lagan navjote orders.
I was around 12 yrs. at that time but i distinctly remember his huge thali full of dudhi murraba he send home the next afternoon, as was the custom then.I have eaten murrabas from so many places during my life and i am now 58,but never have i forgotten his dudhi murabaa.Oh so delish. He was a gem of a man too and a heart of gold.I will never forget the picnics he used to conduct and woudl not refuse additional lastminute kids like us who wanted to come along. i have a special place in my heart for Rohinton uncle. Bless you Tinaz.
Pingback: Mumbai Boss: The Chef Behind Godiwalla Caterers | Parsi Khabar
Godiwalla might be the most sought after but the quality of her food is inconsistent. Perhaps that's a casualty of cooking such large volumes. I've had some excellent and some highly mediocre food by her.
Secondly, it's annoying that menus at Parsi weddings rarely change. Of course this is something that Godiwalla has little control over. But perhaps she could champion items other than the standard salli chicken etc. I'd like to attend a wedding that serves masoor ma gos, pomfret patia and sweet and sour kheema. What say Ms Godiwalla?

Actuant Reports Third Quarter Results; Provides Fiscal 2014 Outlook
Actuant Corporation (NYSE: ATU) today announced results for its third quarter ended May 31, 2013.
- Delivered third quarter diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations of $0.62, 22% higher than the prior year (excluding prior year debt refinancing costs - see attached reconciliation of earnings.)
- Sales from continuing operations of $344 million, approximately level with the prior year. Excluding the 3% contribution from acquisitions and -1% foreign currency impact, core sales declined 2% with two of the three segments posting core sales growth.
- Robust cash flow from operations of $76 million.
- Announced intent to divest the Electrical segment to refocus on the remaining businesses where Actuant is well positioned to build on identified secular growth trends and emerging market opportunities.
- Introduced full year fiscal 2014 outlook with sales and EPS from continuing operations expected to be $1.315-$1.340 billion and $1.95- $2.05, respectively.
Robert C. Arzbaecher, Chairman and CEO of Actuant commented, "As expected, the third quarter represented an inflection point for Actuant as we delivered a 22% increase in EPS from continuing operations and improved sequential sales and profit margins. Solid core growth was achieved in both the Industrial and Energy segments, and the sequentially improved Engineered Solutions sales signal OEM destocking efforts are abating. Due to weak economic conditions, we continue to experience subdued activity in our global industrial markets and inconsistent demand. However, we did a good job balancing cost reduction actions and growth investments, as evidenced by our 19.6% EBITDA margins. Our third quarter EPS also benefitted from both lower interest expense and an effective income tax rate. We have asked a lot of our employees this year and I want to thank our world-class global team for their efforts in delivering the results."

"This recipe was in the Houston paper. I go to La Madeleine just for Strawberries Romanoff. SO GOOD! Very easy to make...my 11 year old son makes it."
Serving Size: 1 (225 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"OH MY GOODNESS. This is AMAZING. I just ate two bowls. I never write reviews, but after making this was thoroughly compelled. I have been dying for these and la madeleine is just two expensive for that tiny glass and they never give you enough sauce. I made it with vanilla and it still tasted amazing. I used organic cream that was practically whipped by the time I took it out the carton (it was the good stuff), it made the fluffiest whip cream I have ever had. Horizon doesn't even come close. I added a touch of cinnamon and a pinch of salt to add a depth to the flavor. I even used my little mini bullet processor to whip the cream (just add the sugar in from the beginning). This recipe is amazing. I will now live a happier life. :)"
"The recipe in the La Madeleine cookbook calls for Cognac instead of Brandy. Once you make that small change it will taste exactly like what you get at La Madeleine."
"What a fantastic Summer dessert! Delicious!"
"Made with cognac, used reduced fat sour cream, and topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Otherwise, followed the recipe as is. Absolutely Delish! No leftovers. Enjoyed by all!"
"Made this for dessert today (Valentine's Day) Very good. I didn't have the liquor so used vanilla as suggested. Really yummy. Next time I may try it with orange liquour."
"This was wonderful!!! Just like La Madeleine. I have been looking for this recipe for years! Definitely a keeper!"
"I used cream sherry and served over lady fingers"
"This should be illegal - it is addictive. So simple and so delicious. Used the vanilla. Will certainly make again."
"I tried this today and was so pleased with the results. The flavor was wonderful, I didn't have any brandy so I used congac. So simply and a great addition to summer berries."
"This is such an elegant dessert - we make it with vanilla and to me it's even better than La Madeleine's. To add a bit of crunch, I serve it with Pepperidge Farm Bordeaux cookies."
"I've never eaten at La Madeleine and had never heard of Strawberries Romanoff. I had to try your recipe as I'm always looking for new ideas for strawberries. I'm so glad I did because it's absolutely delicious! Made for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef."
"Just lovely! Simple and delicious. I used Contreau. I made one batch as written and some that was diet friendly (fat-free yogurt, brown sugar splenda and fat free cool whip - still added Contreau!). Thanks for posting!"
"So simple and so good!! Definitely a family favorite. Thanks so much"
"Made this for Mother's Day for 15 people and there wasn't a drop leftover. Everyone was asking for the recipe - even my 6-year-old niece insisted that I give it to her mom! Thank you thank you thank you!!"
"Excellent. I lived in Dallas for almost 20 years--for as long as I can remember, I ordered La Madeleine's Strawberries Romanoff. What an incredible clone. Really can't tell the difference. My dinner guests raved and raved--men and women alike. La Madeleine serves it in a large round-bowled red wine glass. Fill the glass 3/4 full with large cut strawberries and top with a huge dollup of the Romanoff sauce. Also looks beautiful in a sturdy Martini glass if you don't have the other. Thanks so much for submitting the recipe."
"Two words....yum, yum! Pretty darn close to the original!"

Attend today's unique African Market at Augustana Lutheran Church, and you will never again think of Africans as a generic people. That's the goal of the event, says Phil Gazley of Lutheran Family Services, a sponsoring organization that provides resettlement services to refugee groups from around the globe: to increase local awareness of the myriad African cultures thriving in the metro area. "Even I'm still learning, in terms of what groups are actually out there," Gazley admits. But, in truth, he's got a better handle than most of us. He rattles off an impressive list of the names and situations of each group, beginning with the Sudanese, who have been in the media spotlight only recently, in spite of Sudan's twenty-year history of genocidal strife. Most are members of the opposing Dinka and Nuer tribes and have arrived here in the last five years. There are two groups of Somalis, as well -- a general population that fled to refugee camps in Kenya in the early '90s before dispersing to other countries, and the Bantu, one of Somalia's last remaining tribal ethnic groups.
"The Bantu were taken out of Tanzania in the 1800s as slaves to work on banana plantations owned by Italians," Gazley explains. "As a result, they love eating pasta." He recalls a recent visit to a Bantu home: "Their cupboard was just crammed full of spaghetti. Usually when we help these people get settled, we like to make sure they have a colander and big pot." But in Africa, life for the Bantu, victims of bias, has been no plate of ravioli. Miraculously, such prejudices don't seem to have followed members of opposing communities when they re-established in the metro area. "We don't face those kinds of issues here," he says. "People really get along."
There are also Ugandans, Ethiopians, Mauritanians, Ghanaians, Liberians and more, many of whom will join today's event. "It's a real celebration of diversity," Gazley says. "We hope to introduce people to all the different fragrances of African cultures." To that end, a whole palette of African dishes will be served up, along with a Ugandan fashion show, Somali and Sudanese dance performances and Sudanese gospel music sung in Arabic. Handmade jewelry, crafts and traditional clothing will be for sale, and for kids, there'll be face painting, a mankala tournament, hair braiding and henna body painting.
The market, which runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Augustana, 5000 East Alameda Avenue, is free. Call 303-980-5400. -- Susan Froyd
Exotic Flavors
The Boulder Asian Festival roars
At 11 a.m. today, the street performers on the Pearl Street Mall will meet their match. That's when a 75-foot dragon will weave its way up and down the outdoor shopping area. And though it might freak out some Boulderites, the fire-breather will be made of fabric and carried by students from the Shaolin Hung Mei Kung Fu Association, a Colorado organization that promotes Chinese martial and cultural arts. The beast's arrival will signal the start of the Boulder Asian Festival.
The non-profit Boulder Asian Pacific Alliance started the festival ten years ago with the intention of bringing "the history and flavors of all the different Asian communities" to Boulder, says event co-chair Brenda Pearson. For this year's festival, Alliance members will employ a multi-tiered approach.
First, they've recruited more than seventy vendors to sell items ranging from embroidered Vietnamese tablecloths to Chinese calligraphic art. Second, they will tempt tastebuds with food from nations all over the globe -- Korea, Thailand and Nepal, to name a few. And finally, as if the balloon-animal guy won't be made envious enough by the opener, they'll bust out the entertainment. Denver Taiko, a Japanese drum ensemble, and Gamelan Tunas Mekar, an orchestra that specializes in Indonesian music, will add sonic splendor.
The trip around the world will last for two days in front of the Boulder County Courthouse, between 13th and 14th streets on the mall; admission is free. Call 303-499-0108 or visit www.bapaweb.org for more information. -- Caitlin Smith
Hail, Caesar
To anchovy or not to anchovy? That is one question the Colorado Chapter of the American Institute of Wine & Food will pose to top toques from six restaurants in the sixth annual Greatest Caesar in Denver Competition & Silent Auction. The potential for creativity with the traditional tossed combo -- romaine lettuce, raw egg, the signature dressing -- led Colorado's AIWF to choose the Caesar salad as the contest's featured fare. Variables are not merely a question of fishies or no fishies. Past competitors have fashioned croutons from scratch, served parmesan in curlicues and tossed in crispy capers for zest. This year's lineup includes head chefs from Sambuca, Panzano, Brasserie Rouge, Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana and Restaurant Aix.
For $35 to $40, would-be rabbits can sample each eatery's greens and appetizers, and those will be topped off with a catered dessert. Participants also get to vote on which leaf mixture is best.
The Walnut Foundry Event Center, 3002 Walnut Street, will host tonight's tasting, which starts at 6 p.m. and includes a silent auction. Proceeds from the auction benefit an AIWF scholarship fund that helps send Colorado residents to local culinary schools.

Get ready to build a tough & rugged boombox! "RaveBOX (v1.0)" can charge USB devices, play MP3s and tune to FM stations! It also comes with an IR remote offering better convenience. The boombox gives action sports and outdoor enthusiasts 18 hours of nonstop music. Whether you're at the beach, shooting rapids, or hiking outdoors, the boombox remains safe in its tough (Pelican-like) weatherproof shell.
How I Came Up With The Design:
It's been a while since I last posted my last boombox tutorial, it was pretty much a success but as we all know technology advances annually. RaveBOX is now as powerful as my old boombox but it's half the size of the old one.
I really had no design when I made this project, I had a "go with the flow" sort of vibe. One day I went to the mall to buy my usual supplies then suddenly I came across this generic Pelican-like case. They were selling it for like P480 ($9.60), I still had some speaker lying around, so I thought it would be cool to fit my four unused fullrange speakers + my 4" HiFi woofer. With no hesitation, I bought the awesome looking case. As I went back home, I started searching for parts in my inventory. I still had some amp chips lying around. I found two extra 2x3 Amp Modules (form dx.com) and my beloved Bluetooth Player Module (from dx.com).
All that's left is my battery, I wanted to make sure that my boombox would last a day of non-stop playback without charging, so I though of a solution! My robots are using LiPo batteries since they had a high "size to power" ratio, meaning they have a high mAh rating for their extremely compact size. Since the competition is still scheduled for December, I borrowed some of my LiPo batteries and decided to put them in my new speaker project.
Specs/ Features:
- 2.1 Channel Audio System (6W + 6W + 20W)
- USB Charging Capabilities (6600mAh)
- 18hrs Max Playback (LiPo Bat)
- Bluetooth 3.0 Audio Connection
- 3.5 Stereo Auxiliary Connection
- Equipped w/ FM Radio Tuner
- IR Remote Control
WARNING! You'll need some basic soldering skills, a little knowledge of electronics, and some patience to build this. Please don't blame me if you mess up the modules. SMD chips are very sensitive to over-voltage, handle them with extreme care! There's a lot to go wrong with this project. Good luck!
You put the charging unit directly to the lipo battery. So you can charge only 12V devices? What's the idea behind that? It would be cool to put a voltage regulator in between, so you can charge phones, psp's and mp3-players...
The charging plug is for the boombox's LiPo charger. If you look at the boombox very closely, the Bluetooth panel has a USB port. You can certainly charge any type of USB device (iPhones, PSPs, etc...).
So for the pcb amplifier ?
Hello. Awesome setup! Do you have an update and precise parts list?? Much appreciated!
Thanks. I showed pretty much everything in Step#1. If you're looking for a different BT speaker project, I'm working on a 3D printed version. Probably I would be finished by the last week of December then publish the guide on January.
Yes I would be interested! However, for now I want to build something for someone for christmas. I'll try with what you have and then build another with your updated version. thanks!
What's te use of using 4 tweeters?
How Much does it cost to make this and if possible could you make one for me in black? Also how good are the speakers?
How Much does it cost to make this and if possible could you make one for me in black? Also how good are the speakers?
I tried making the TDA2005 mono amp, but I couldn't get it to work. I tried twice. I made sure that my PCB doesn't have any short. I followed all parts, except that I got the TDA2005R ( not TDA2005M ). I am not sure if this was the culprit. And man, did the IC heat up. I was using a 13v, 4A power supply.
Any help would be appreciated.
where do you get the 2.2 uf 25v capacitors?
also where do you get the 100 nf 25v capacitors?
how much did this project cost?
at step 7 what resistor you solder on the module, is in the first picture of step 7. thanks
It's a 470uF capacitor for filtering the line. It's done to prevent the buzzing sound.
470uF at what voltage?
Just on question why 2 HP per side ? what does it change if i only take 1 amp
where i put left n right Using this way only 2 HP
If my bigger speaker got 3" instead of 4" does it change many things in the pcb amplifier Thank you!
Where can I get the materials needed in order to make my own board?
I noticed that when you installed the components for the mono amp you soldered it on the copper side, clearly you have no technical education, whatsoever. Who puts all of the components and solders it directly to the copper side of the board? ask any technically inclined person and they will tell you that it's wrong. As a general rule in electronics all of the components are ALWAYS on the top or blank side, that's why it is called the components side and whats ALWAYS under neath it is the copper side which is called the solder side. Please observe general safety rules in electronics and leave the technical stuff to the professionals or technically inclined. You do not know the hazards you are imposing.
Also, most of the tweeters in the link are no longer in stock. Any alternatives?
Will I be able to just use an actual Pelican case without any issues or just get a case as close as the one you used here? The link you have in this Instructable works, but I can't order from that site.
cool! are you from the philippines ?
Yes! why?
Can you recommend a good alternative to the TDA2005 amplifier circuit you use that can be bought from DX or one of the other sources if I just want a pre-built one?
This looks pleasing! It has a 2.1 channel setup. "Mini 2.1 High-Power Digital Amplifier"
Just ordered one of these form DX. I will let you guys know how it works when I get it in the shop to test.
Cool! Tell me if it's good, I'll buy one for myself too :D
Will do. Audio systems are new to me, so hopefully I will learn enough over the next few weeks to give a meaningful assessment. I have most of the build defined with the following hardware procured and in transit.
1. Surplus Geiger Counter Enclosure
2. The same Bluetooth module that you used
3. 2x Fountek FR58EX 2"
4. 1x Goldwood GW-204/8S 4"
Whoa! I so envy your setup. Those Fountek fullrange speakers are so fancy. Plus, I've been planning to buy those Goldwood drivers for making speaker arrays/ towers.
I'm super excited in seeing your write-up! BTW, Congratulation on the 123D :D
Congrats to you as well, and thanks for the great instructible.
Finally got the amp and the speakers, DX shipping is very slow. The 2 little Fountek's sound great on the L and R channels. I was able to induce some clipping in the Goldwood on the SW channel. I will toss it on the scope this weekend and get some more data.
Couple quick questions about the Mini 2.1 Amp... Did you use 3 wires for sound from the BT module? Did you do anything with the jumper that it ships with or just left it? Mine doesn't seem to work at all and I'm wondering if I'm missing something really simple or I just got a defective one.
I actually have not connected it to the bluetooth module yet. I just used a 3.5mm Male to male connector to interface it with my computer and it worked right off.
I did move the jumper around to see what would happen and in every position other than how it shipped the unit did not function.
You want the jumper (XX) in this position :
I would recommend connecting it to an MP3 player or computer before connecting it to your BT module that way you can isolate the amp and diagnose it separately.
Also my quick review of the amp. I was very happy with the power I was getting on the L and R channels, but the SW (sub-woofer) channel was a little lacking for my taste. If you do still want use this amp for these type of projects I would recommend the speaker for the SW channel be very high sensitivity if you want to get decent base response.
OK, final summary of the DX 2.1 Amplifier:
The Left ans Right channels on par with my Dayton Audio DTA-1 15Watt amp:
The Sub Woofer channel is horrible, it is no where near the 30 Watts claimed by DX. I Just connected my Dayton Audio DA25 25Watt plate amp to my little 4" Goldwood GW-204/8S driver and it is a night and day difference in output.
Summary: The base sucks, build or buy your own mono-channel amp for the sub.
What power supply were you using for this assessment?
I just figured out why that amp was not working. I was trying to run it off of a 11V battery pack and apparently that's not enough for it even though it's rated for 10-18V. Once I plugged it into 15V power supply it started working, but output for the sub is not working at all. Overall I'm disappointed with it. Would not recommend. I'm starting to look into setup similar to the original with separate mini amps for each channel. These mini amps can't handle 2.1 audio
I had the same exact problem - I was trying to run mine off a 12V battery pack that appears to be outputting somewhere around 10V and the sound is terrible and can't even get louder than a whisper.

Thousands of people who leased cars last year as part of the Cash for Clunkers program are having second thoughts and are trying to get out of their leases, reports LeaseTrader.com.
The program provided up to a $4,500 rebate if a person signed at least a five-year lease for their car.
A year later, that money has long been spent and people realize they are stuck with the car for four more years, says John Sternal, LeaseTrader.com spokesman.
"I think it's Cash for Clunkers remorse," Sternal says, whose company helps hook up people who want to trade out of their leases with those looking for a lease.
Some drivers want out of the lease for financial reasons but for others it's just not wanting the car.
Sternal notes that a five-year car lease is a really bad deal for most people who usually lease a car because they want to drive the latest model.
He says it will be very difficult for Cash for Clunkers lessees to trade a lease with four or more years left on it because most traders want a shorter lease, he says.
The only other choice is to break the lease, but then the lessee must immediately pay the remaining payments, which often amounts to more than $10,000.
He says the issue in status-conscious Southern Californians is not so much about the money, but the car.
"They woke up last year and saw the Cash for Clunkers program and thought they they could help the environment and the bunnies and the trees and got smaller, environmentally-friendly cars," Sternal says. "Now they look at that car and think about the really nice car they used to have and think 'I want something roomier, more luxurious. This contract is bad and I'm not in love.'"
Sternal says the company started getting calls about trading Cash for Clunkers leases in May and now is getting "several hundred" calls a week.
LeaseTrader.com they are getting the most inquiries about Cash for Clunker lease trades from people with Toyota Camrys, Ford Escapes and Honda Accords.

Dollar Tree, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results And Raises Guidance For The Second Half Of 2011
Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR), North America's leading operator of discount variety stores selling everything for $1 or less, reported its results for the quarter ended July 30, 2011 ("second quarter") . Consolidated net sales for the second quarter were $1.54 billion, an 11.9% increase compared to $1.38 billion reported for the quarter ended July 31, 2010 ("second quarter 2010"). Comparable store sales increased 4.7%, on top of a 6.7% increase for the second quarter 2010.
Earnings per diluted share for the second quarter were $0.77, an increase of 26.2% compared to the $0.61 earnings per diluted share reported for the quarter ended July 31, 2010.
"I am pleased with our second quarter performance as sales, earnings and operating margins continue to expand," President and CEO Bob Sasser said. "Increases in customer traffic and average ticket drove our sales growth, which was strongest in the latter half of the quarter. Our operating margin continued to improve even with significantly higher energy prices throughout the quarter relative to last year. Earnings continue to grow and our stores are executing at a high level. We transitioned quickly from "Summer Fun" to back-to-school and are ready for the fall selling season."
Operating margin increased 70 basis points for the quarter to 10.0%. The improvement was driven by a 10 basis point increase in gross margin and a 60 basis point reduction in S.G. &A. expenses.Cash and investments at quarter-end totaled approximately $545 million, compared with $480 million at the end of the second quarter 2010. During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 0.1 million shares for $8.2 million, and has $249.2 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization. The Company continues to grow. During the second quarter, Dollar Tree opened 76 stores, expanded or relocated 23 stores, and closed 11 stores. Retail selling square footage increased 8.9% compared to a year ago, to 36.6 million square feet.

I have a whole bunch of federal muli-purpose spent hulls. I was wondering if you could relod those even though they seem like they have a steel base? Would this be safe to do?

Federal makes two different types of hulls. The one piece "Gold Medal" type hull is the only one worth loading. These have no pressed in base wad. Compare the look of the inside base of the hull to a Gold Medal hull. They are likely very different looking that will give you your answer.
All shotshell base metal is steel. They are just copper plated to prevent corrosion. Some of the "bargain" ammo uses chromed/nickled base metal.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
There was a time when brass was brass. I seriously doubt you will find any shotgun hulls that are all brass based. The steel is mild steel and resizes with out much difficulty. If you leave even the high end hulls exposed to high moisture, they will rust.
The steel is not the issue, it is the base wad that can become dislodged and stick in the barrel.
Well, Remington disagrees with you (I just called)--they say their STS are still made with a brass base--I think if I called WW and Fed they'd say the same about their AAs and GMs. I've been reloading STS and AAs for 40 years and the base brass hasn't changed that I can tell--I thought I would recognize the difference in feel (I can tell the steel based shells such as Gun Club, etc) but want to call and check. Also from a bunch of online sources: Remington STS, Premier and Gun Club cases can be loaded the same. Gun Club cases are injection molded in the
same manner as the STS and Premier cases are. They differ in the quality of the plastic and metal base material. Gun Club
cases are molded with a lesser grade of plastic, have a steel base rather than a more expensive brass base and 3 percent
antimony shot instead of 6 percent in order to allow Remington to be more competitive in the marketplace.
Maybe the guy that answered the phone was wrong, but I doubt it...
I don't see the STS hulls very often, but I have discarded many rusted AA's, Fed Tactical Buck and #4 high "brass". The WW high brass has been steel for some time. The newer AA's use a different grade of plastic as well. They do not crimp as nicely as the older ones.
I used to load the RXP's and AA's exclusively. Now I load everything from low brass 1oz #8's to (my own cast) buckshot and slugs (in mostly Federal compression formed hulls).
I have a buddy that has a home shot maker. I am trying to talk him out of that little jewel.

Elon Musk gives us the goods on Hyperloop
He may be the man behind PayPal, Tesla Motors and SpaceX, but Elon Musk has been garnering more attention lately for his proposed Hyperloop transit system. Although virtually no details had previously been announced, Musk has stated that it would serve as a much faster, more efficient alternative to traditional passenger rail transport – more specifically, it would allow passengers to travel the 350 miles (563 km) from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 30 minutes. Well, this afternoon (as promised) he finally let everyone in on just what it would be, and how it would work. Read More

World's largest tunneling machine digs in
Bertha, the world's largest tunnel boring machine (TBM), started digging under Seattle on Tuesday as it chewed through the north wall of the 80-ft (24.3 m) deep trench where it was assembled after being shipped in pieces from its manufacturer in Japan. Designed to bore a 1.7 mi (2.7 km) tunnel for State Route 99 (SR 99) under the Seattle city center to replace the old viaduct, the machine will both dig out soil and lay a concrete tunnel wall as it goes.

On Saturday, a tunnel boring machine (TBM) so large that it looks like something out of Thunderbirds was dedicated in the city of Seattle. "Bertha," as it's known, is the world's largest TBM and will spend the next 14 months boring a 1.7 mile (2.7 km) tunnel under the city as part of a US$3.1 billion project to replace a viaduct damaged in a 2001 earthquake. As part of a press tour, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) allowed Gizmag inside the giant machine. Read More

The nation's most-visited national park – Great Smoky Mountains ( www.nps.gov/grsm) – and Eastern America's largest Indian reservation, are just a few of the most superlative excuses for visiting Cherokee ( www.visitcherokeenc.com). There's nothing more elemental than a walk in the Smokies' woods, the ancestral home of the Cherokee. If the rich lore and traditions of the tribe are your focus, the town's museums, outdoor drama, and living history displays offer cultural insight. There's golf at the tribe's championship Sequoyah National Golf Club ( www.sequoyahnational.com), and entertainment and gaming at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort ( www.harrahscherokee.com).
The pageantry of a Native American pow wow is a high point of summer in Cherokee. The 39th Annual Cherokee Indian Pow Wow will be on the Fourth of July, after 10 years on another date. There's a massive fireworks display. 2014 will be the first year for the Growing Ones Cherokee Youth Pow Wow over Memorial Day: No adult dance categories in this event. The sole emphasis on young dancers will be unique.
Cherokee's popular Seven Clans Professional Rodeo is Sept. 5-6, and this year, a new event takes place the same days at an adjacent venue – the Cherokee Barbecue Festival. The event will feature bluegrass music.
The Great Smoky Mountains start where Cherokee stops. Spring and early summer are full of the park's special events. The new, green Oconaluftee Visitor Center just outside Cherokee features old-time music and dance from the 1930s and '40s in a round-robin performance by local musicians the first and third Saturday of every month (1-3 pm). The beginning of June, Smokemont campground near Cherokee is a viewing area for the park's spectacular firefly display. And the third Saturday in June, a "Women's Work" program at the Mountain Farm Museum features costumed living historians making soap, cooking on open hearths and doing other tasks in historic cabins. Ranger-led programs ( http://1.usa.gov/1kCVfsh) occur often in April, May and all summer.
Tribal management of Cherokee waters permits year-round fishing ( http://bit.ly/1lcxR20) in the miles and miles of streams that flow down from the Great Smoky Mountains. The tribe has a long and spectacular stretch of the dancing Oconaluftee River and the Oconaluftee Islands Park in the heart of Cherokee is a favorite fishing site. There are trout tournaments throughout the summer, and the annual Talking Trees Trout Derby for ages 3-11 is something special. This year the free event is Aug. 2. Bring your own gear – or don't: Fishing equipment, breakfast, lunch, t-shirts and more are provided at no cost to the participants. There's also entertainment and fishing demonstrations.
You won't go hungry if you head to Cherokee for the ultimate indoor experience – a marathon session at Harrah's gaming tables. There are 10 eateries ( http://bit.ly/1qg6ism), among them premium names like Ruth's Chris and Pizzeria Uno, a Chicago deep dish pizza tradition.
Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort Event Center is a 3,000-seat setting that brings in national entertainers ( www.harrahscherokee.com/Shows.html), including The Band Perry (April 25), Alice in Chains (May 2), Chicago (May 16), and Dolly Parton (May 25). Randy Johnson

"I never tasted the everyday brownies before this is my first time making brownies from scratch I love these I am a very picky eater and if you are then you should try these they are very good I will never use a box mix again.
P.S make these for birthday treats kids love them.""
