Thingiverse user Festus440 shared a very classic 3D printed halloween project.

Just in time for Halloween!
This little lantern uses an inexpensive battery operated LED “Tea Light” candle that can be purchased at most craft stores or on-line. (I paid $1.99 for one at the local craft store.) The tea light is mounted upside down in the top of the lantern. The handle is optional. You don’t need if you aren’t going to hang the lantern.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!

Trailrunner7 writes "There is a severe remote code execution vulnerability in a number of Cisco's security appliances, a bug that was first disclosed nearly three years ago. The vulnerability is in Telnet and there has been a Metasploit module available to exploit it for years. The FreeBSD Project first disclosed the vulnerability in telnet in December 2011 and it was widely publicized at the time. Recently, Glafkos Charalambous, a security researcher, discovered that the bug was still present in several of Cisco's security boxes, including the Web Security Appliance, Email Security Appliance and Content Security Management Appliance. The vulnerability is in the AsyncOS software in those appliances and affects all versions of the products." At long last, though, as the article points out, "Cisco has released a patched version of the AsyncOS software to address the vulnerability and also has recommended some workarounds for customers."

Over the years we've featured a number of studies that attempt to associate ovulation with  specific (and often complicated) behaviors in women, ranging from the accuracy of their gaydar to their likeliness to vote Republican or Democrat. In this study, the researchers used an "international online questionnaire" to determine whether women's opinions of romantic kissing changes through their menstrual cycle. And sure enough, ovulating women felt that kissing was more important in the initial

Pew: Gaming Is Least Welcoming Online Space For Women

As the ongoing, harassment-fueled controversy known as Gamergate rages into its second month with no sign of dying down, the Pew Research Center is out with new numbers on online harassment. They probably won’t surprise you: 73 percent of respondents say they’ve faced some kind of threats or embarrassment online, mostly in the form of being called offensive names.

Of course, that’s the less scary kind of harassment. As Pew notes, “the second category of harassment targets a smaller segment of the online public, but involves more severe experiences such as being the target of physical threats, harassment over a sustained period of time, stalking, and sexual harassment.”

We have to do better than this, folks.

We know new Clippers owner is a "cool dad" who makes great magazine covers and goes wild over his team (and everything). Seeing it during live game action is still impressive:

This is a preseason game. Imagine if the Clippers make a deep postseason run? Ballmer will actually catch fire on the sideline.

Hedo Turkoglu did not do a crossover dribble here. He didn't do anything. He just dropped the ball:

And yet, Anthony Tolliver took a spill and Hedo got himself an exceedingly dumb fall-away three. Let's throw that into NBA Street, shall we?

PRESEASON FOREVER. HEDO FOREVER.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum left Wednesday night's Game 2 of the World Series in the eighth inning with lower back tightness, the team announced.

Lincecum, who hadn't pitched in a game since Sept. 28, entered Game 2 with a 7-2 deficit to open the seventh inning. He retired all five batters he faced, including two strikeouts, but after inducing a foul popup by Alex Gordon in the eighth inning Lincecum was visited on the mound by team trainer Dave Groeschner.

After a brief consultation, Lincecum left the game in favor of Giants closer Santiago Casila. Lincecum went to the locker room with team trainers.

"It tightened up pretty good on him. We think he'll be fine," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said after the game, per Alex Pavlovic of the San Jose Mercury News. "I'll know more tomorrow."

After his 23-day layoff without pitching, Lincecum threw 23 pitches on Wednesday night, including 13 for strikes. He struck out Eric Hosmer to end the seventh and Josh Willingham to open the eighth inning.

Lincecum, signed to a two-year, $35 million contract before the 2014 season, was 12-9 with a 4.74 ERA during the regular season, but was bumped from the Giants starting rotation in August. As a reliever down the stretch, Lincecum was 2-0 with a 6.10 ERA in six games, totaling 10 innings.

Lincecum was on the active roster for the Giants for the Wild Card Game, the NLDS and the NLCS but did not pitch.

The proposal from Garver is for the team to acquire a 2015 fourth-round draft choice and running back Branden Oliver. Basically he has the team giving up on the current NFL season and trying to build for the future. That would leave the rushing duties to Robert Turbin and Christine Michael and allow a lot of money to be saved in the process. It would clear cap space to help offer Russell Wilson an extension and remove a potential offseason or 2015 camp problem. These Marshawn Lynch trade rumors have been (rightfully) called ridiculous by fans researching what the ESPN writer has suggested. So far this season, he has 420 rushing yards and three touchdowns on just 97 carries. That works out to a nice average of 4.3 yards per carry. He also has 16 catches for 145 yards and three more touchdowns through the air. Those numbers don’t indicate he is slowing down like the article projects either.

I always wondered what happened to Oderus Urungus's shoes after he passed. They found a good home. Picture for a moment what you would look like in those shoes. You would look terrible. David Ortiz can pull them off, though. That's because he's much, much cooler than you.

Man, I wish I could pull those shoes off.

The Black Rose of Turkey

Turkish Halfeti Roses are incredibly rare. They are shaped just like regular roses, but their color sets them apart. These roses are so black, you’d think someone spray-painted them. But that’s actually their natural color.

Although they appear perfectly black, they’re actually a very deep crimson color. These flowers are seasonal – they only grow during the summer in small number, and only in the tiny Turkish village of Halfeti. Thanks to the unique soil conditions of the region, and the pH levels of the groundwater (that seeps in from the river Euphrates), the roses take on a devilish hue. They bloom dark red during the spring and fade to black during the summer months.

The local Turks seem to enjoy a love-hate relationship with these rare blossoms. They consider the flowers to be symbols of mystery, hope and passion, and also death and bad news.

Seeing a black rose in full bloom is a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing. Don’t miss it if you ever happen to be in Turkey during the summer.

This year, in particular, it may seem like sportswear brands such as Nike and Under Armour are discovering women for the first time. Wednesday's event in New York as well as Under Armour's major push this year into the women's category is in part an effort to chase a market that previously had not been addressed in such a targeted way. Some analysts also see the shift as the big brands' response to women's sportswear brand Lululemon. Locally, even the Trail Blazers have boosted their offerings for women this season. In addition to sales, though, Nike has other numbers to back up its claims to market leadership in the women's category. The company noted at the New York event that its Nike+ Training Club App for women has been downloaded 16 million times and nine million women have downloaded the Nike+ Running App.
