Good bye 2016
We have officially gotten to the last day of the year! And if you are like me, you probably haven´t decided what to wear tonight to receive the next year.
Personally, I have decided that I do not want to wear white this year. This opens up many other options to me. If you want to dress a bit different this year and are a bit hesitant about it, let me help you with some ideas, like this one, with see through fabrics, or this option with metallic accents.
Are an excellent option! A crypt top along with a high waisted skirt will give the effect of longer looking legs, which makes you look taller. #Supertip!
Another #superTip! Wear shoes of your same skin tone, it will also make you look taller. This is an excellent ALDO option!!
Wear a bit of see through fabric. Just keep in mind that it must be in the right measure, without showing too much.
How about you? Would you use this set to receive the year? Are you ready to party tonight?
I can´t thank you enough for reading the blog and supporting me in this new venture.
Happy Holidays! I wish you all the best for 2017 and let it be our best year yet.
Dress: Simona
Shoes: ALDO

I was born here and did all my schooling attending the local schools. I always believed that growing up here I was one of the lucky ones compared to my big city counterparts, I still believe that today.
After high school I attended university in NSW at Southern Cross University doing postgraduate studies in Exercise Physiology. I had been accepted to do my PhD when an opportunity to play soccer for the Australian University team in the USA came up so I decided to defer for a year or so.
After playing in that tournament I realised I was pretty good and thought I could make a semi living from this so I decided to pursue a career in football in Europe. I was quite successful in this and I went on to live in Europe for ten years, playing soccer then teaching English and Physical Education.
After a decade I decided it was time to come home and I thought I could work on the family flower farm until I found a 'serious' job. Eight years later I was still there because I realised I liked the honesty of the job and the healthy lifestyle it afforded me. In 2013 when we had the referendum to de-amalgamate I didn't think to run for council but it was an idea that grew slowly until about August 2013 when I decided I wanted to give back to the shire that I considered a fine place to live.
I currently continue to work on the flower farm and make fine decisions for the Douglas Shire as a councillor!

We extend a huge congratulations to the Guadalajara entrepreneurial community on an awesome event!
A recap from facilitator, Santiago Zavala:
"This was my first time facilitating a Startup Weekend and I was really excited about it. The people started to show up even before 6:00 pm on Friday. I told them to start networking and they did a pretty awesome job at it. The kickoff and the pitches went really well, especially because of all the networking that happened at the beginning. There were tons of good ideas, we had more than 50% of the people pitch an idea! The venue was really awesome, we were hosted by a very big university and it was pretty extreme. They allowed us to stay all night, and that was really fun. The presentations on Sunday were really good, including one non-technical company demo-ing a product to clean cars without water by cleaning a car wheel. Most teams presented their prototypes live, some others used videos/screenshots. The energy and emotions are still pretty high even a couple of days after the event. Check out the Facebook group and some pictures!"

Here are your Apple rumors and AAPL news items for today:
Premium: According to one investment analyst, Apple (AAPL) plans to make consumers pay more for a bigger iPhone, AppleInsider notes. Jeffries analyst Peter Misek says that Apple has approached wireless carriers looking for them to support a $100 increase in the price of new flagship iPhone models. That would boost the starting price of an iPhone 6 to about $300 with a contract. While carriers are resistant to the demand, Misek expects Apple to extract some level of price hike from the carriers — who subsidize iPhones sold on contract — because the release of the iPhone 6 is likely to be the biggest smartphone launch of the year. If Apple succeeds in getting a $50 price increase, it would offset costs associated with producing a fresh iPhone design. That price increase could add 2% to Apple revenues and 11% to the iPhone-maker's earnings per share. Apple is widely expected to release two iPhone models this year: one with a 4.7-inch screen, and a phablet-style iPhone with a 5.5-inch screen. Most analyst predict a September launch for at least the 4.7-inch iPhone 6, with the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 possibly launching some time later.
Upgrade: Apple's CarPlay will be coming to aftermarket products later this year, Nikkei notes. Japanese electronics-maker Alpine Electronics will launch a standalone console with CarPlay compatibility in the fall. The console will connect to iPhones through a wire, permitting drivers to access their music libraries, make calls and view maps on the console's 7-inch LCD screen. The Alpine console will support the iPhone 5 and subsequent iPhone models and will permit voice commands. Various major global automakers are incorporating CarPlay into the infotainment systems on new and upcoming models. Pioneer is also rumored to be exploring adding CarPlay compatibility to aftermarket car audio and information systems.
Recruitment: The CEO of branding agency Wolff Olins Global is departing the company to take a position at Apple, AdAge reports. Karl Heiselman had been employed by Wolff Olins Global for more than a decade and had served as CEO since 2006. He previously served as a design contractor for Apple during the 1990's. Heiselman will take an unspecified marketing communications role at the iPhone-maker. Apple declined to comment to AdAge about Heiselman's new role at the company. Heiselman has also served as creative directors at Swiss watch-maker The Swatch Group. His hiring comes as Apple is widely expected to launch its own smartwatch this fall and as a number of recent rumors point to Apple increasing its in-house marketing team.

Bond has been set at $35,000 for a Bridgeview man who repeatedly stole valuable metals from suburban businesses so he could sell it at scrap yards, Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart announced Saturday.
Peter Gallant, 46, of the 7700 block of W. 87th St., has been charged with felony theft. He appeared in Bridgeview bond court on Friday.
Police opened an investigation on March 22nd after a business on the 17100 block of S. Wolf Road in unincorporated Orland Township reported the theft of 300 aluminum panels and other accessories used in building foundations, worth $200,000. Detectives with the Cook County Sheriff's Police began researching whether other local law enforcement agencies had similar thefts. As a result of their investigation, police identified Gallant as their suspect. Detectives learned Gallant had recently sold 22 identical aluminum panels at a scrap metal business in Alsip for $1,000. Gallant was also a suspect in metal thefts in Orland Park and Willow Springs. After a search for Gallant, police were able to take him into custody on April 14th, at which time he admitted to the theft and sale of the aluminum.
Detectives from the Orland Park Police Department and Willow Springs Police Department came to Cook County Sheriff's Police headquarters in Maywood on April 14th to interview Gallant. Additional charges were filed by Willow Springs Police, and Orland Park PD is pursuing charges as well.
Aluminum remains a target for thieves seeking a quick profit, as the price of the metal has almost doubled in the past two years. As the investigation continues, Cook County Sheriff's Police detectives are seeking information from anyone who may have had contact with Gallant recently, or from scrap yards that have purchased large quantities of aluminum panels. Tips can be called in to 708-865-4896. Gallant's next court date is May 4th in Bridgeview.

Here at Newsstand we deal with a lot of magazines that are informative but take an almost nonchalant view of what they cover. These types are informative, yes, but have an unseemly distance between them and the subject matter that we, and a lot of other readers, can find a little off-putting. Thankfully we occasionally run into publications that are not afraid to get right down into the trenches, getting up close and personal looks into the things that we love, and Indie absolutely falls under this category. It is a lofty thing to describe a magazine as having character, but Indie earns this distinction with incredible exclusive interviews with artists, designers, actors and directors on all levels of the popularity scale. The only question to be asked for a person to be featured in Indie is just what exciting revolution are you sparking with your creativity. Alongside witty and inspiring articles, is incredible photography which is especially telling within the fashion articles. Indie is the perfect lifestyle magazine for those looking at wider culture and to get first-hand contact with the very people that are creatively shaping it.

the price of beauty
This time last year, I was still on restriction by the doctor following a surgery on my back. Sitting on the sidelines does not make me a happy camper. I'm more of a put-me-in-coach-I'm-ready-to-play kind of gal. This spring, I'm making up for lost time.
Here's what I learned today...
1. Never underestimate the power of planning. Especially by a 16 year old boy who did his research.
Meet Uno, Dos, Tres, and Cuatro. According to Tanner's chart, they were right on time. We're still waiting on Cinco. We may change his name to Margin-of-Error.
2. I've learned to always assume that when the sun starts shining in the Pacific Northwest, something is bound to bloom. And a 3 year old will need to pick it.
Even if those pickings (which are my favorites!) make everyone's histamines go berserk.
3. I've learned that there is nothing better than new bark dust in the flowerbeds. After spending an entire afternoon pulling weeds, raking old maple leaves, and discovering all of the hidden places our dogs did their business over the winter, it was finally time to add the beauty bark.
I also learned the importance of a good pair of garden gloves. Especially when finding those hidden doggie places.
4. I learned that when beauty bark is applied, it tends to make other things look a little ragged. Did you notice the sign above? No?
How about now?
5. I learned that Boston Baked Beans should never, ever, ever be left in the oven for 5 hours when the recipe only calls for 2.
Unless one is bark dusting or touching up faded garden signs.
6. I also learned that canned, store-bought baked beans look an awful lot like homemade beans if placed in a dutch oven and heated in the oven.
And as a bark dusting junkie, I don't feel the least bit guilty about that at all.
Well, maybe just a little...☺

(VIDEO) Robin van Persie could consider a career in wrestling

Robin van Persie did much more than scoring a winner for Fenerbahce in his team's win over Besiktas in Turkish Cup.
The experiences forward was involved in two controversial flashpoints when he stuck his tongue out towards Besiktas fans and when he tackled and manhandled Besiktas defender Dusko Tosic, who got sent off after a confrontation with the Dutch striker afterwards.
Take a look at Van Persie's signature move below:

Splash News Online
Lindsay Lohan is all about the leggings — loving the wardrobe staple enough to create her own line. And much to the relief of her fellow legging-lovers, the star just posted on her personal MySpace page that the much-anticipated newest collection 6126 is hitting Henri Bendel's N.Y.C. store today — and the star will be there to do the honors. "I'm thrilled to announce that my new fashion collection, 6126 is finally ready for launch!!" she says. "I love to wear leggings, so it should come as no surprise that my first venture into the world of fashion design is with leggings!" She goes on to explain the brand's cryptic name, saying, "I named the collection after Marilyn Monroe's birth date, because to me she represents timeless, confident glam - and that is the voice of this brand." So what can fans expect from the new line? "Our holiday collection is pretty eclectic from gold zippers to leather detailing, to buttery soft cashmere." Click here to check out more on Lindsay's MySpace page. If you're lucky enough to be in N.Y.C. today, you can check out the entire collection for yourself at Bendels Fifth Avenue store between six and eight P.M. — and see the star for yourself.

But there are many ways to access sexual energy inside of you!
Some of them don't even involve physical touch!
Some other techniques might even be totally remote, this means that the person who activates you is on the other side of the planet and there is no physical or virtual interaction with them.
How does it work?
Isn't that magical?
It is like having this whole set of potentials and resources inside of us that get triggered when our sexual energy is free!
Sexual activation are techniques, approaches and mind sets that tap in this potential and allow us to unleash our whole sexual power and sexual freedom!
This means that all the blockages, traumas or negative associations you can have with sex are wiped out and replaced by a clear energetic space!
Sexual activation is the mastery of your sexual energy
you can tap into it with body work, breathing techniques, sound work, mantras, and much more!
You can trigger a whole flow of orgasmic energy by dancing with your fantasies or by being in a context which is already sexually activated.
The possibilities are infinite!
Let's check them out!

Hefty vet bill for raisin-eating pooch
Posted by: Samantha Bartlett Date: 27/03/2013 Category: Latest News
A Labrador got more than he bargained for when tucking into a bag of raisins, according to deadlinenews.co.uk.
Five-year-old Charlie, who has been known to eat items such as socks and sticks, ran up a vets bill of £8,000 when he needed medical treatment for eating the snack. The pooch racked up the costs by having to have surgery, scans, drugs, dialysis and intensive care.
Owner Louise Middleton was told to "expect the worst" when she rushed him to Edinburgh University's Royal Dick Vet School, however she was amazed to find the dog was back on form in no time.
She told scotsman.com: "He loves to pick up sticks but gets injured by splinters – at home we have to hide all the socks belonging to our children Katie and Ross because he eats those as well."
Ms Middleton continued: "Charlie almost died and the specialists at the Royal Dick did amazingly well to save him."
The dog is still under observation at the veterinary centre at the moment. but he is scheduled to be released and back in his own dog bed soon.
A spokesperson for Edinburgh University's Royal Dick Vet School said that Charlie had developed kidney failure after eating the raisins and urged other pet owners to keep the snack away from their pets.

Contemporary Romance | August 25, 2015 | Gallery Books
Goodreads | Amazon | Audible | Barnes & Noble | Kobo
What's the gist? Well, in Virgin, Ellie deperately lost her virginity, and that she did with a bonus STI (ew!). In NOT THAT EASY, Ellie is hell bent on getting the magic "O". And once again, we're regaled with a lot of sex comedy bordering on ignorance. Some were funny, a few were painful, the rest is just a clumsy horror show. I was amused, I was able to relate to some of Ellie's monologues about women and owning one's sexuality, I found Ellie's (cautionary) online dates hilarious, but I can't help but frown at some of the contradictions in terms of Ellie's applications of her sexual theory. To borrow a character's summation, Ellie is like a pubescent boy with sex on her mind 24/7. Overall I was very much entertained inspite of a lot of cringe worthy moments.
RSanghani's series may not be for everyone. There's a lot of vagina jokes and toilet humor, and outrageous situations that will make Ellie somewhat exasperating. I liked the Virgin series' honesty though, and even if it's sort of like a stunted coming-of-age tale, I enjoy Ellie's unabashed ignorance when it comes to sex and her enthusiasm to own her appetite for it.

Creepy EVIL DEAD 'Mirror' Clip
So you're here 'cause you're excited about the Evil Dead remake, and you want to see more and more and more from Fede Alvarez' upcoming horror film, right? That's good, because we finally have a brand new (short, but still awesome) video to share with you today! Creepy mirror on the wall… and stuff like that. Don't miss!
Fede Alvarez directed the movie from a script he wrote with Rodo Sayagues, and as you already know, the movie is a remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult horror movie The Evil Dead.
We have five friends who become holed up in a remote cabin, and the rest of the story goes like this:
When they discover the Book of the Dead, they unwittingly awaken a dormant demonic presence living in the nearby woods, which possesses the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.
Starring Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas and Elizabeth Blackmore, Evil Dead is set to hit theaters on April 5th, 2013!
So, any thoughts about the movie, or what?
Let us know & stay tuned for more!

Grades/Level: Upper Elementary (3–5)
Subjects: Visual Arts, English–Language Arts
Time Required: 3–5–Part Lesson
3 class periods
Author: Barbara Eisner, 3rd Grade Teacher, Bret Harte Elementary School, Burbank Unified School District
Lesson Overview
After reading The Mysterious Giant of Barletta by Tomie DePaola, a story about an ancient Roman statue that comes to life, students create a paper sculpture based on ancient Greek and Roman statues in the Getty Museum. They then write a narrative story told from the viewpoint of their sculpture.
Learning Objectives
Students should be able to:
discuss events in a story from the viewpoint of a character in the story.
apply stylistic and historical knowledge to create a paper reproduction of a sculpture.
write a story told from the viewpoint of the statue they created.
The Mysterious Giant of Barletta by Tomie DePaola, Voyager Books, 1988.
Images of Getty artworks below
Card stock or railroad board for sculpture
Drawing paper (12 x 12 in.) for triorama
Fine and extra fine Sharpie markers
Colored pencils or crayons
Construction paper
Lesson Steps
1. Activate students' background knowledge by asking them to brainstorm everything they know about ancient Rome. If desired, display pictures of Roman monuments such as the Coliseum. Have students ever heard of ancient Rome? What do they know about it? Ask students if they have ever heard of Italy. What do they know about it? Explain that ancient Rome was a civilization in Europe about 2,000 years ago, and that this country is now called Italy. If desired, show students a map of Italy and point out the city of Rome. Then ask them to look at the illustration of the statue of the Mysterious Giant in the book. Is this a new statue or an old statue? (An old statue.) How do they know that it is old? (He is wearing a toga and Roman sandals. He is dirty and broken.) What do they think the Mysterious Giant is made from? (Marble or other stone). Why does he have his hand raised? (He may be speaking in front of a crowd or calling attention to an important point.)
Have students work in pairs to read the story The Mysterious Giant of Barletta. One student will read the first half of the story aloud and the other will read the second half aloud.
2. The Mysterious Giant of Barletta is an Italian folktale adapted and illustrated by Tomie DePaola. It is the story of a town in Italy, Barletta, and a statue that stood in front of the Church of San Sepolcro. The statue had been in the square as long as anyone could remember. Everyone in the town loved the statue and would greet it or play at its feet. Things change when the people of Barletta hear about an army coming their way to destroy the town. Everyone panics except for old Zia Concetta. Zia tells the statue that it can do something to save the town because of its size. Zia makes a plan to save the town. She asks for an onion and tells everyone to hide and not to ask questions. When the army comes marching into town, the Giant saves the town by crying and wailing that other boys won't let him play with him due to his size. The army becomes frightened and leaves the town. Barletta is saved!
Discuss the story by asking some of the following questions: What was life like in Barletta? What is the importance of the statue? What words describe Zia Concetta? Why does the Giant step down from his pedestal? How does Zia solve the problem of the invading army? What do the soldiers think of the people of Barletta? What do you think will happen to the Giant now that he has helped to save the town? Tell students how ancient statues from the Roman Empire often wash up on the shores of Italy today.
3. Look at images from the Getty Museum's collection of antiquities. Begin with the Statue of Jupiter. Ask students to find ways that this statue is similar to the Mysterious Giant (he is wearing a toga and Roman sandals, he is made of stone, and he is raising his arm.) Explain to students that Jupiter (called Zeus by the Greeks) was the king of gods. Ask students to explain how the artist made this figure look like a god. (He is sitting on a throne, he has a full beard, and he has a powerful body.) Explain to students that Jupiter's upheld arm once held a thunderbolt and that the sculpture is larger than life-size—the seated Jupiter is almost seven feet tall.
Discuss what students see using the following questions: Who are these figures? What do you think they represent? Ask them to describe their poses, gestures, and facial expressions. Ask why students think the artist posed the figure(s) this way. What do the poses tell us about what the figures are doing and who they are? What other objects accompany the figures (clothing, shoes, animals, musical instruments)? How do these objects tell us who this person might be? Ask, Why do you think some of the parts are missing from these statues? Have students demonstrate some of the poses to help facilitate the discussion and to encourage them to look more closely at the art.
4. Tell students they will create their own statue and bring it to life with their own story, just like the statue in the book. Model the creation of a paper statue for students. Using a pencil, draw the contour shape of a figure onto cardstock or railroad board. Begin with the head and work down to the neck, shoulders, chest, etc. until you finish with the feet. You can leave parts off, such as an arm or leg, in your demonstration to mimic some of the ancient statues. Next, use various lines to fill in the figure. Make sure to include a tunic or toga or other accessories, such as an animal. Then go over the pencil lines with a Sharpie.
5. Cut the drawing out and demonstrate how to make a gusset-style stand: From a corner of card stock, cut a right triangle (cut two sides of equal length, so the triangle has two 45-degree angles and one 90-degree angle, from the corner). Also cut a square of card stock about the same size as the triangle. Glue one of the short sides of the triangle to the leg of the statue, and the other side to the square piece of cardstock, which will rest flat on the ground. Hold until the glue sets and the statue will stand firmly.
6. Students create a statue in the manner you demonstrated. They then create a context for their statue. Explain to them that they will create a scene depicting an ancient ruin and including a landscape. Tell students, Imagine that you are the statue you created. If you were a statue, where would you want to stand—in a museum, in a meadow, in a busy city square, by the side of a road?
Demonstrate how to create a triorama. Take a 12 x 12 in. piece of drawing paper and fold it on the diagonal to make a triangle. Open the paper and fold it again on the other diagonal. You now have two folds in the paper that create an X. Cut one of the legs of the X from the corner of the paper, stopping at the center of the X. Overlap the sections next to the cut to make a shape that looks like a corner. Have the students draw a landscape on the three panels using colored pencils or crayons. After the landscapes are drawn, glue the overlapped pieces together.
7. Have students write a narrative story from the point of view of their statue. Remind students that the Mysterious Giant in the story has human qualities. Tell students, Imagine that you are the statue you created, standing in the landscape you just drew. How would you feel about the place you stood all day long? How would you feel standing all day, looking at the same thing, without moving? What things might you observe from where you stood? Who could you talk to? Describe some of the activities that might happen around you. Are you alone or surrounded by other people and things? If you are outside, what else is around you? What would it feel like during rainy weather if you were outside?
8. Have students create a storyboard or web to organize their ideas. Go through the writing process to help students write a narrative about their statue. After the stories have been revised and edited, students will publish (word process) their stories. These can be displayed next to their triorama and statue.

"This lesson was very successful. Tomie DePaola's story was motivating and led to the idea for this lesson. Knowing we were going to visit the Getty gave me the idea to incorporate antiquities. Viewing art from the Getty collection helped the children see various statues that were real. The statues that the students made, along with the background in the trioramas, helped the children write their stories." —Barbara Eisner

Six million years ago, when the first human ancestors known as hominins walked the Earth, our galaxy's core blazed forth furiously, new research shows.
The centre of the Milky Way galaxy is currently a quiet place where a supermassive black hole slumbers, only occasionally slurping small sips of hydrogen gas.
But it wasn't always this way. New measurements show that the Milky Way galaxy weighs about 1-2 trillion times as much as our Sun.
About five-sixths of that is in the form of invisible and mysterious dark matter.
The remaining one-sixth of our galaxy's heft, or 150-300 billion solar masses, is normal matter. However, if you count up all the stars, gas and dust we can see, you only find about 65 billion solar masses.
The rest of the normal matter – stuff made of neutrons, protons, and electrons – seems to be missing.
"We played a cosmic game of hide-and-seek. And we asked ourselves, where could the missing mass be hiding?" said lead author Fabrizio Nicastro, research associate at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and astrophysicist at the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF).
"We analysed archival X-ray observations from the XMM-Newton spacecraft and found that the missing mass is in the form of a million-degree gaseous fog permeating our galaxy. That fog absorbs X-rays from more distant background sources," Nicastro continued.
The astronomers found that there is a "bubble" in the centre of our galaxy that extends two-thirds of the way to Earth.
The bubble required a tremendous amount of energy. That energy, the authors say, came from the feeding black hole.
More answers may come from the proposed next-generation space mission known as X-ray Surveyor. It would be able to map out the bubble by observing fainter sources, and see finer detail to tease out more information about the elusive missing mass.
The study was published in The Astrophysical Journal.

There were many moments through this collection where I'm sure there was a collective sigh at the beauty of these pieces coming down the runway. These clothes are for a girl's girl, Nicky Zimmerman did an incredible job of bringing a light airiness to all her looks. Her use of sheer and lace as it breezed passed on each model gave a dream like effect, along with the juxtaposition of masculine style metallic suits and trenches with the traces of a flowy dresses, skirts and blouses peeking through.
One of my favorite looks was a sleeveless romper in the design of a trench with a sheer floral blouse underneath. The styling was familiar and effortless from cinched waists, off the shoulder dresses and blouses and lots of layering. Overall I enjoyed this collection and with bloggers like Manrepellar's Leandra Medine, Atlantic-Pacific's Blair Eadie and photographer/model/blogger Candice Lake in the audience I'm sure the blogger recreation will be amazing.

Catastrophic CanonicalizationBlog Post: October 18, 2010
I actually had this problem with a plugin I built for Wordpress. The plugin itself creates new wordpress pages, but when Wordpress made the rel=canonical tag standard in the core with the release of version 2.9, all of the plugin created pages were given the homepage as their canonical url. As a result, several important pages for many of my websites were dropped from the index.
Since many of the dropped pages had their own unique backlinks, the homepages of those sites actually gained some ground in the SERPs. So, I was getting slightly more traffic for my target keywords, but lost virtually all of my long tail traffic.
I've since fixed the problem and the de-indexed pages are slowly coming back.

Human Life (Poem)
Infinite possibility of life
Is ours who live upon this earth. Each soul
Is in itself a harmony, a whole
As given direct from God.
And if the strife
Enter and mar the music that is rife
Within the deeps of being, may the day
Dawn of sweet peace the world not takes away;
And may the soul its essence keep of life.
No human life exists that doth not hold
Its spark of fire divine; and if we willed
It should become, for the world's benefit,
A flame that those who outside joy are cold—
Be warmed, and all their hungering soul be filled
With God's great love. And who shall measure it?
Life opens up to all at every moment the highest good we can appropriate.
—C. B. Newcomb

I recently purchased the 7" touch screen for the Raspberry Pi and thought I'd put something together to show how it's set up and share my thoughts on it so far. This has been a really popular item and I had to check it out.
The Kit
The Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen kit came from Newark element14 , and it's boxed with everything you need (except of course a Raspberry Pi). It comes with an interface boards and everything to mount a pi to the back of it, which can be pretty nice.
Tip:Leave the plastic coating on the touchscreen while assembling it so you don't damage anything.
Video Interface Cables
These are delicate pieces so you should be careful hooking these up.
These connections work by sliding out the black piece, then pushing the ribbon inside and pushing the black piece back in. Start by applying pressure in the middle of the black piece first, and if you encounter resistance, try resetting the ribbon in it. Don't try to ram it in, if it breaks it won't work at all.
Set this large connection first then turn the board over to insert the smaller one and connect it in the same fashion.
Now that it's turned over it's ready to mount using the supplied standoff screws:
Connecting to the Pi
Now is a good time to hook up the RPI-Display ribbon:
And hook up the GPIO as follows:
- Red to 5v
- Green to SDA
- Yellow to SDL
- Black to Ground
Now mount the Raspberry Pi to the standoffs. Plug in the RPI-Display cable:
And wire the GPIO as follows:
- Red to 5v (Pin 2)
- Green to GPIO2 SDA (Pin 3)
- Yellow to GPIO3 SCL (Pin 5)
- Black to Ground (Pin 6)
Power up and Install Software
Now you can power up the screen. If you have a good power supply, you can just put the power into the outlet on the display board and it will power both the Pi and the screen. Alternatively you can power both independently if needed.
You will need to install some software to get it running:
1 2
To install the virtual keyboard:
You're ready to go!
My Thoughts
Honestly I was a bit skeptical when ordering this thing. I was wondering how good the quality would be at $60. I was pleasantly surprised right away. Here are some of the features I noticed:
Sturdy and Strong - Just feeling it in your hands tells you the kind of quality it has. Does not feel like a cheap or flimsy screen. You can actually use this for stuff.
Picture Quality is amazing - The colors and clarity of this screen are great. It looks like a high quality tablet.
Responsive Touch - It has ten finger touch though I never pushed that limit, it's definitely responsive and works great popping through windows. It's also great for drawing things. It's very reactive and great.
Overall I was very pleased with it, and I think it's well worth the money. I plan on getting a few and doing some cool projects with it. Overall I would recommend getting one. You can get this touchscreen for $60 here.
Why not just get a tablet?
This was the question posed to me on Twitter and I've seen the comment elsewhere. And realistically this screen + a Raspberry Pi, Power Supply and Wifi Dongle and you're looking at over $100. And the profile isn't very thin plus you'd need an additional case to make it truly like a tablet. Considering you can pick up a cheap Android tablet for under $100, this doesn't seem like the greatest replacement for a tablet.
I think the overall purpose of this goes beyond a tablet though. For one Raspian is far more powerful and advanced than Android, and arguably more hackable. I would see this as being great for:
Kiosks - Under $100 is a steal for POS interfaces and customer info Kiosks of all types.
In Dash Car Computer - You could control a sound system with your Pi, do GPS, engine monitoring etc.
Wall Mounted Awesomeness - Get the weather, latest news, control your thermostat, open garage door, etc.
The possibilities are endless here. I don't think folks buying this will be looking for a tablet, the projects will likely be more complex than that. If you make a cool project shoot me an email or let me know in the comments!

I have just released my new course titled "Hands on Internet of Things" which is intended to be a course for people who want to get started with IoT.

On a miserable, dull day, this little string of berries seem to light up out of the greyness! I like to grow shrubs and trees that produce berries, so that the birds have some food in the winter.
Tag: berries
Callicarpa bodinieri 'Profusion' (Beauty Berry)
Arbutus unedo fruit (Strawberry Tree)
Arbutus unedo (otherwise known as the Strawberry tree) is unusual in that the current year flowers appear as the fruit from the previous year's flowers, ripen. The fruits are said to be edible, but the blackbirds seem to eat them before I get chance to do anything with them! A wonderfully wildlife-friendly tree – I have previously posted a photo of a butterfly on the flowers of Arbutus unedo and bees love the flowers too!
Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn) berries
Callicarpa bodinieri 'Profusion'
Euonymus europaeus (Spindle Berry)
Sorbus aucuparia (Rowan Tree)
After the deluge the sun came out! Everything was weighed down from the rain, including the Rowan tree with its masses of berries which are ripening fast and it's still only July!
The Sorbus is also known as mountain ash as well as Rowan and in English folklore is said to have magical properties and gives protection against witches.
Sarococca confusa (Sweet box)
The flowers on this evergreen shrub are quite unspectacular and you could easily pass by without noticing them, if it wasn't for the fragrance that fills the air. It is also known as Sweet box or Christmas box. They flower from December to February and are followed by shiny black fruit. Grow close to a path where you can appreciate the scent. An easy-to-grow shrub that likes shade and reaches about four feet in height. It spreads a little, but is not invasive – the new shoots are easy to pull up and you can give them away to your friends.

I attended Maketto's grand opening and ventured to H St after long work days several times a week for months. I loved the food, drinks and most importantly, the culture. Yet as time passed, I found the commute difficult to navigate during rush hour. I'm a huge supporter for the business; nevertheless, when I heard my favorite burger eatery teamed up with the Maketto team, I jumped at the chance to visit the nearest Shake Shack.
Much to surprise, my anticipation was met with disappointment. It stemmed from believing Erik Bruner-Yang's Taiwanese Fried Chicken would literally be placed in between two warm buns and topped off with whatever the burger company deemed feasible. When I bit into the sandwich it taste like a less greasy, and more tender, Chik-fil-A sandwich. There was a dab of hoisin sauce folded in with pickles, cucumbers and scallions.
Obviously I held my expectations too high; but hey, it was still a pretty decent dinner. There's nothing wrong with the side of cheese fries too!
This post isn't to create negativity towards either business and in fact, share the positivity between two collaborative moves from an American venue and an Asian local establishment. If you eat either signature dish at either place, you'll find pure bliss; it just wasn't the case for my tastebuds this time around.
Then again, I ain't no food critic.
The Maketto x Shake Shack burger ran through April 24.
