because disasters are apolitical but choices aren't
First, the regions hit hardest by the storm (that is to say: the Northeast) are traditionally firmly Democratic, and logistically, it may be difficult for people to turn out and vote come Tuesday. But will this actually make any difference in the electoral college, or will it just impact the popular vote?
Secondly, people inside and out of the affected regions may respond differently based on their perception of storm readiness, reaction and aftermath. I think that overall the reaction has been largely positive (at least compared to the level of preparedness for Katrina, "heckuva job Brownie" and all), but it's clearly a difficult time for everyone impacted. Will that change anything come election day? Again, difficult to say.
Campaigning for both parties has obviously been put somewhat on the back burner, or at least a burner off to the side--for the president firstly because he's busy, you know, leading the country during a crisis; and somewhat for the Romney camp as well, to (rightly) avoid politicizing and tragedy and, perhaps more importantly, avoiding the opportunity to say anything completely offensive of tone-deaf to those suffering losses. What did these two campaigns have planned for the final two weeks of the campaign? Would that have made a difference either way?
And on and on and on. Like I said, the political effects are incalculable, and though I think the post-mortems at the end of next week will pick apart this and that trying to frame whatever the outcome ends up being in the light of inevitability, but that's all Monday morning quarterbacking to me. Regardless of whichever presidential candidate wins the election, the effect of an unprecedented natural disaster of this scale is as unexpected as it is difficult to predict.
But there's one thing I do know that everyone can take away from the stories of Hurricane Sandy, and which is: you are not immune. Terrible things happen, and they can happen to any one of us. The single mom in Staten Island and the hedge fund manager in Tribeca. The elderly couple in New Jersey and the CEO in the Hamptons. Terrible things can happen, and they can happen quickly, unexpectedly, without prejudice. And all of us, whether we think we will or not, will occasionally be grateful for some help.
I think back to my own reaction to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the days and weeks that followed that particular storm. I was shocked and horrified and of course I pledged my support and dollars to help the survivors, but still, even though it happened in my own country, it all still felt a little removed for me. I admit that fully. The words and the situation: Lake Pontchartrain? Levees? Superdome? It seemed so foreign from the everyday life of a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker that my empathy, and my ability to relate, while present, still felt a little bit distant.
But this? Oh, this.
I walked here, on my way back from a late night out in med school after finals, from restaurant to dive bar to seedy club, trying to find my way back to the subway station to take me home.
Over the course of high school I got off at this subway station hundreds and hundreds of times. We'd take the 6 train one stop down and switch here to catch the express, or maybe venture above ground to get something to eat, or browse through the new CDs at HMV (remember when we used to do that?), or just walk around and people watch. Do you know how vast, and how deep those tunnels are? Do you know how much water it must take to fill them up? I don't. I can't even imagine.
The cutoff for power outages on Manhattan was at 25th street and south. I used to live on 25th Street and Second Avenue, on the 19th floor of our building. Most likely we would not have had power. Now, with three kids, in the chill of November, it's difficult to imagine how we would have handled it, though I can say for sure we would not have done it with the grace of those in New York the even more seriously affected outlying communities. Probably I would have just cried. Well, cried and eaten all the ice cream, like we did after that big power outage in 2003. (IT WAS GOING TO MELT ANYWAY YOU GUYS.)
We lived just a few blocks away from NYU Medical Center (it is, in fact, the hospital at which I was born), which of course was evacuated after the storm when the power went out and the backup generators failed. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for those staff working that night. I read accounts of patients, fresh CABG post-ops and others, being walked down 10 flights of stairs or more to evacuate after the elevators failed, NICU babies being carried out one by one, nurses and housestaff and techs and everyone forming lines up the stairs passing buckets of fuel up the fire escape to the emergency generators after the fuel tanks in the basement of the hospital became overwhelmed with water. I think: what if I had been in the OR at that time with a patient when all the power went out? What would I have done? I see myself reaching for the ambu-bag, sending someone to run for more IV induction meds, and holding up the flashlight we keep in the bottom drawer of our anesthesia cart so that the surgeon could see enough to sew faster. I can kind of imagine it. But also, of course, I totally can't. Not really.
In the final days before the election it's hard to conceive of people who are still undecided about who to vote for, but I know they must be out there because the news and the polls say its true. And I ask these people to think not just about jobs or the economy or foreign policy (though these are, of course, also crucially important issues) but to also think about the role of government in the face of crisis. In the face of bad things happening, indiscriminately and free of political bias. And think not just of how the candidates are reacting now, but of what they've said in the past. About the role of government. About "dependency" and "entitlements." About the size of government and how some might propose both a smaller government with a diminished role and ability in providing help to its citizens in deep trouble, but also concurrently one that paradoxically insists of legislating and restricting our personal lives. Think about these things. And then go vote.
It's easy to accuse and tell people what they should have done or what you would have done when bad things don't tend to happen to you, but Hurricane Sandy reminds us in the most explosive and shocking way possible: bad things can happen to us all. And everyone needs help sometimes, and sometimes the help we need is bigger than that which individuals or private institutions are able to provide. And it's a credit to our civilization when we as people, and yes indeed as a government, are able to help those least among us. Because next time, it could be you, too. And where do you want to be living, and under what kind of leadership, do you want the next time something does?
My family are all OK, thankfully. Much love to my friends in New York and the surrounding areas devastated by the storm--I'm with you in spirit if not in person. If you need help, just ask. And if you're looking for ways to help, two good starts are here and here.

That's actually the 86th street subway stop in Brooklyn, off the R train. The upper east side was virtually untouched by the storm.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ah! You know, I was thinking it looked a little different than the 86th Street station on the 6, but thought maybe it was just the end of the platform. Thanks for the correct attribution!Delete

Such a lovely post! It's been a roller coaster up here! What we have been dealing with in West Chester doesn't even compare to Staten Island, Long Island and New Jersey. I'm a med student and have been getting reports from some friends in the area.ReplyDelete
A few of my friends are in med school at NYU. All of their classrooms are flooded. Hofstra's cadaver lab was flooded. I'm at New York Medical College and thankfully all of our facilities are fine. We ended up cramming 5 days of classes into 3 the week before finals. Several of us commuters are studying for first block finals with no power, heat, or hot water. I waited in line for gas for 2 hours yesterday to make sure I can get to school for exams this week. Still, so grateful to have been somewhere safe.
So nicely written. I'm out here on the West Coast, and have been knocking on doors for days, urging folks to get out and vote (or mail it in, as we do in my state). My heart goes out to affected folks, and I'm grateful we currently have federal level help available and am crossing my fingers we keep it that way.ReplyDelete

Another fantastically written post. I was just relieved to hear that my cousin who lives on Staten Island was actually back upstate visiting his mother when all of this was going on, particularly when I heard that it had been completely flooded out. Glad to know everyone's OK on your end, too.ReplyDelete
Yes. Love how you kept it respectful and almost subtle, yet your point was crystal clear. If only everyone saw what looks so obvious to some of us. How are we teaching our children to treat others? How are we demonstrating tolerance, compassion, true values?ReplyDelete
When Katrina hit we got a lot of refugees coming to our hospitals for care but we also absorbed residents from Tulane into our program so they could graduate. Now we live on the east coast, I hope we can do something to help those in NY/NJ.Replies
- Anonymous3:32 PM
Exactly. What are we teaching our kids about helping those who aren't fortunate and discriminating against people based on age, gender, race, sexual orientation and socio economic status? It's unreasonable for individuals, states or the private sector to adequately plan and protect people in times of complete catastrophe. If that isn't the role of the federal government I don't know what is.Delete
My sister lives in Brooklyn and (thankfully) is fine but is hopefully going home for the first time since the storm hit tonight.
Thanks for this well-written post Michelle, and thanks for sharing those pictures. Disasters are really scary.ReplyDelete

Michelle, I had a medical school interview today and a girl from Wellesley was there interviewing too. Of course, I asked her if she had heard of you, and we bonded over shared enjoyment of your book :)ReplyDelete
Glad your family is safe!

First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.ReplyDelete
I was curious to find out how you center yourself
and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or hints? Cheers!

Hypnosis is mysterious and peculiar. It is not fully understood. Some therapists are taught a very diluted version of hypnosis and they market themselves with statements about hypnosis that are not true. They are true to the techniques they use, but not of hypnosis. Here are six common misconceptions about hypnosis and their relevance to effective change work. Some are encouraged by practising therapists and some are just urban legends. Click hypnotherapy hypnotist to get more details.ReplyDelete

Traditionally, the arrival of a new BMW 3 Series is heralded by the sound of new parts hitting tuner's shelves, ready to fill the desires of performance enthusiasts around the world. However, the 2012 F30 sedan's arrival was seemingly greeted by virtual silence.
Several months after its launch, there continues to be scant pickings for what is historically BMW's most modified model. And as we've searched to discover what's available, we keep coming back to some unique modifications from SoCal BMW specialist, LTBMW in El Monte, CA.
Having bought a 2012 335i Sport, Long Tran (the "LT" in LTBMW) was disappointed by the same lack of tuning parts, so reverted to a tried and tested practice: A few years ago, Long fitted an E90 M3 bumper onto a regular 335i. Of course, it wasn't a simple swap, requiring cutting and plastic welding that has since become a specialty of the in-house body shop.
When working on his own F30, Tran had originally tried to fit a lip spoiler without much success. Having scoured the web for inspiration, he came across an F12 650i M Sport bumper and asked his friend to mock up the application in Photoshop.
Liking the result, he called Monrovia BMW and found the only one in the country, shipping it to LTBMW the next day. It was a crapshoot whether they could get it to fit but it was finished in time for their 2012 open house – which is where we saw it.
Both bumpers are essentially cut in half, with the lower section of the 650i bumper welded to the top half of the 335i Sport bumper, giving it a "factory" appearance. According to Tran, aligning the parts is the most tedious aspect, taking three days to complete in this instance.
Once finished, the LTBMW hybrid/fusion bumpers would fool the uninitiated and cause enthusiasts to double-take. However, a closer inspection won't help because you won't find any seams, uneven paint or signs of filler. It's that clean!
Since the 650i hybrid bumper worked, LTBMW has been emboldened, progressing to 1M Coupe fusions. This has seen the 1M's distinctive intakes and ducts appear on 335i and 328i bumpers, as well as the F10 5 Series. It seems there's no end to the possibilities this melding technique has created.
In addition to the front bumper, the LTBMW paint booth also sprayed the roof gloss black as well as the stock rear diffuser and kidney grilles. They also fitted Euro-spec tail lights.
These small changes give the Melbourne Red 335i more attitude along with its lowered ride courtesy of KW Suspension's DDC coilovers – currently the only option for the F30 while other companies rush to bring parts to the market.
Finding wheels wasn't a simple task either. BMW changed the offsets from the E90, so HRE built a set of custom multi-spoke P43sc wheels. Measuring 20x9" ET35 front and 20x11" ET42 rear, they're wrapped in 245/30 and 285/25 Nitto Invos.
The lush HREs are home to the first set of StopTech brakes on an F30, with the LTBMW 335i being used to test the fitment for six-piston front calipers with 355mm discs, and four-piston calipers in back squeezing 345mm discs.
Under the hood, the N55 3.0L turbo motor has an Evolution Racewerks downpipe and LTBMW front-mount intercooler. The company is also in the process of making its own exhaust system which, in this instance, will have quad tips to fit the F10 Hamann-style diffuser that will soon be fitted to the rear bumper. A cut-down F10 trunk spoiler is also in the works.
The final additions in the pipeline include some of the BMW M Performance interior pieces previewed elsewhere in this issue. By that time, the aftermarket may have caught up with F30 demand but LTBMW should remain one step ahead of the competition.
John Zhang 328i
We photographed two F30 328i's belonging to loyal LTBMW customers, both with 1M bumper conversions. The first was owned by 1013mm photographer John Zhang.
It sits on HRE P44sc wheels with the same dimension as Long's, but slightly different offsets: 20x9" ET30 and 20x11" ET44 as well as slightly wider 295/20 Hankook Ventus V12 tires.
The brakes are from Rotora with a six-piston BBK up front and H&R Super Sport lowering springs. The N20 2.0L turbo motor has the same Evolution Racewerks downpipe and intake (as dyno-tested elsewhere in this issue).
The 1M bumper conversion from LTBMW has a Slek carbon fiber front lip (originally designed for the 1M) and the grilles have been painted black.
Richard Pinela 328i
The driver of the second 328i owns Stance Wheels (stancewheels.com), so he built custom offsets for his SC-5ive wheels. They measure a generous 20x9.5" ET37 front and 20x10.5" ET44 rear with 245/30 and 285/20 Falken FK-452 tires respectively. The car was lowered on H&R Super Sport springs.
In addition to the same LTBMW 1M bumper conversion and Slek carbon lip, Richard had the roof, grilles and rear diffuser painted black. Uniquely, this car has LTBMW blades below the stock side skirts to give it extra cache.
Finally, the owner had a new MagnaFlow exhaust fitted a few days before our photo shoot to make it more vocal.

Controlling Ubuntu's and Fedora's Upstart (the init replacement)
Controlling Startup Events
In the previous article in this series I looked at how init (the system we've all been using for years to start up our services) works, and how upstart, the new replacement for init, works instead. This article looks at upstart and its scripts in more detail.
Moving over
The first piece of very good news is that it's possible to move from init to upstart without having to shift all of your services at once. There's a default set of example scripts available from the upstart website which includes a job which runs the init scripts. For example, here's the rc3 job:
start on runlevel 3
stop on runlevel
console output
set $(runlevel --set 3 || true)
if [ "$1" != "unknown" ]; then
export PREVLEVEL RUNLEVEL
exec /etc/init.d/rc 3
end script
The first two lines define what events this job should react to, and how it should react. So on the occurrence of a 'runlevel 3' event (probably triggered by the telinit compatability wrapper), the job starts. On the occurrence of any runlevel event, it stops (so in fact a runlevel 3 event will stop it, then start it again – this matches how init works). The script section does the actual work of running the job.
Writing an upstart job
But what about setting up a particular job for yourself? You keep your job definitions in /etc/init/jobs.d, and they should be plain text files, and not executable. Your job needs to have either an exec line:
exec /bin/echo "ping"
giving a path to a binary, and the arguments to pass to it; or a script section, as in the runlevel 3 job description above, which has a shell script to be run with /bin/sh. These define what will be run when the job is triggered. Jobs can be set to respawn with the line:
There's an automatic limit set to this: if a process is respawned more than 10 times within 5 seconds, it will be stopped and not restarted. You can alter this default with:
respawn limit 20 5
(this would set the limit at 20 times in 5 seconds).
So, we could have a very basic job that looked like this:
start on startup
exec /bin/echo "ping"
which would run that echo line on startup. There's no point in putting a stopping stanza here, as it's not a daemon to start/stop, and similarly no need for respawning.

Support For Local Fundraiser Sought
To The Editor:
In May 2013, Kylie Mellott was born very prematurely. Kylie weighed only 13 ounces at birth and is the smallest baby her hospital has ever cared for. Kylie continues to grow and fight every day in the neonatal intensive care unit. Her parents, Justin and Jenn Mellott, also have two older children. Obviously this family has faced some very tough challenges over the past few months. We would like you to consider showing your support to the Mellott family.
On October 12, 2013, at Southern Fulton High School, there will be a running and walking event called the "Tough Little Cookie." It will be a 5k run and 1.5 mile fun run/walk for kids. We hope to draw a large crowd for the race in order to raise money to offset medical bills and travel costs for the family. One of Kylie's parents makes the two-hour (each way) drive to see Kylie every day (with almost no exceptions).
Please consider making a donation of at least $50 to the "Tough Little Cookie" 5k event. Everyone registered for the race will receive a T-shirt with the names of all sponsors printed on the back of the shirt. It could be a good way to advertise your business or organization, but more importantly, it will make a real difference to this family in our community. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please send a check to one of the race organizers listed below. This is a local fundraiser organized by the extended family; therefore, your donation will not be tax deductible as we are not a registered nonprofit organization. All donations will be given to the Mellott family with a small amount used to cover race costs (which total roughly $100). I hope you will decide to sponsor this event.
Contact race organizers to sponsor the event by September 21 at 717-294-6967 or 717-573-4385 or send a check payable to "Justin or Jenn Mellott" to Dave or Ginny Smith, 3038 Bethel Church Rd., Warfordsburg, PA 17267 or Denise Mellott, 6287 Pigeon Cove, Needmore, PA 17238. Include the name you would like printed on the shirts.

Family and food have always been the cornerstone of my Thanksgiving celebrations, and I am sure it is the same with you. My family has a great tradition. Each year I plan a themed menu. I put together an entire meal of recipes using the theme in every course. The recipes are divided up amongst my siblings, and on Thanksgiving we gather at my home and share our creations. One year, the theme was apples and another it was root vegetables. This year's theme is Italian American. This tradition of themed menus has kept my family's Thanksgivings interesting year after year, so I thought I'd share the idea with you.
However, none of these celebrations would have been much fun if, because of unsafe food handling, we all got sick. So, here are some food safety tips you can follow to help you make the most of this holiday season:
- Thaw the frozen turkey in the refrigerator. Allow one day for each five pounds of turkey. A twenty-pound turkey will take about four days to thaw. Hint: Remove neck & giblets from inside the bird as soon as possible to hasten thawing.
- Do not let any juices from the turkey come into contact with any other food.
- Wash your hands with hot, soapy water before and after handling raw poultry.
- Wash all knives, cutting boards and utensils also after using for raw poultry.
- Cook fresh turkeys within two days, thawed ones within four days.
- Never slow-cook poultry overnight.
- Use a meat thermometer that is set for an internal temperature of 165°. Remove the turkey from the oven and allow it to "rest" for 20 minutes before slicing.
- If you are traveling with food, keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Wrap hot foods in foil and heavy towels to keep it above 140°. Keep cold food in a cooler with ice packs to maintain 40° or below.
- Promptly refrigerate leftovers in shallow platters instead of one large container. Remove the turkey from the bone to help it cool quicker.
- Reheat any leftovers to an internal temperature of 165°. Gravy should be brought to a rolling boil.
- Be sure to use up your leftovers within four days.
I would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and remind you that Eat'n Park is closed Thanksgiving Day. But, all of our locations will be open bright and early Friday morning so we can all grab breakfast before hitting those sales!
Until next time,

Plymouth High School, John Glenn named as top schools
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth High School has been named one of the top schools in the state of Indiana on the U.S. News Best High Schools 2013 list. They ranked PHS number 26 for the state and 1812 nationally.
According to a press release from U.S. News, they reviewed 21,035 United States public schools with only 105 Indiana schools making their ranking. PHS was among 44 schools receiving a silver rating. An additional 58 were named bronze schools. Only three Indiana schools received the highest rank of gold medal. They include Signature School, Evansville; West Lafayette Jr. /Sr. High School, West Lafayette; and Burris Laboratory School, Muncie.
PHS has 1,066 students and 51 teachers; making them larger than the Indiana schools' average enrollment.
Coming in at number 21 for the state was John Glenn High School. The school with 605 students and 32 teachers ranked 1576 nationally.
Indiana schools follow the "Core 40" curriculum of required credits. Course work includes Social Studies classes such as world history and economics. Students are assessed in Algebra I, Biology I, and English 10 through the ISTEP+ End-of Course Assessments.
Superintendent of the Plymouth Schools, Dan Tyree, said, "Author Jim Collis says that for organizations "good" is the enemy of "great." He added, "So when a good school is challenged to get better, you sometimes get resistance. That is not true of Plymouth High School."

Technology support is notorious for its poor quality. Early on in the history of the Internet management decided that customer relations was not a core function of a company and that it could be outsourced. The consequence of this was that customer service was reduced to statistics, how many calls were handled and how quickly were issues resolved. Much hung upon the definition of resolved.
Whether technical support of billing issues, customers were confronted with telephone trees that were as time consuming as they were confusing. Technical support became the subject of bitter humor. Everybody knew it was bad, but since everyone had horrible customer support companies could get away with it.
Until Twitter.
All of a sudden your company's horrible customer service became a public embarrassment. At first PR people where hired to handle customer service issues on Twitter, until companies figured out that Twitter had to be integrated into their customer service response.
But what companies have still failed to comprehend is that customer service is a core function of any company. Customer service is public relations, it is how your company relates to the public and how the public experiences your brand. If customer service is poor your brand suffers.
When your company outsources customer service, and makes clear that customer service is a dead end job for employees with no future in the company, you are saying that customers are not important. The larger implications of Twitter customer service issues have yet to be understood.

What is bacterial vaginosis
Bacterialvaginosis is a disease that's caused by the overgrowth of a type of bacteria that's called Gardnerella vaginalis, Gardnerella vaginalis. And as the name might suggest, this is the most common vaginal infection. Now I wanna put these really big quotes
around the term infection because the thing that's interesting about Gardnerella vaginalis is that it's a bacteriathat's naturally found in the vagina. Now some may consider this to be a sexually transmitted infection, which is interestingbecause it doesn't cause
any problems until there'stoo much of it there. So when we look to the causes of bacterial vaginosis, they are all things that change the vaginal environment. That can include acts like douching, so douching, or rinsing of the vagina. The other is having newor multiple sex partners.
And finally, another known cause is the use of antibiotics. This could be in the case of somebody that has a throat infection or a pneumonia that's on antibiotics which will then attackthe bacteria that exists within the vagina andallow Gardnerella vaginalis to overgrow and cause bacterial vaginosis.
So we've touched a little bit on it here, but I wanna draw it out. So when we talk about the pathophysiology of a disease, we'retalking about the mechanism by which that disease occurs. So in order to understandthe pathophysiology of bacterial vaginosis, we need to take a look at a sample of bacteria
that exists in the vagina. So I'll draw out someGardnerella vaginalis bacteria, and so I'll put this up in our key. This is the symbol forGardnerella vaginalis. And I'll draw a few of them around here, but I also wanna show that there are a lot of other bacteriathat exist in this sample. So if you really look at it here,

A model to predict saturated critical heat flux in minichannels and microchannels
Koşar, Ali (2008) A model to predict saturated critical heat flux in minichannels and microchannels. (Accepted/In Press)
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijthermalsci.2008.08.008
A new model to predict saturated critical heat flux (CHF) conditions in minichannels and microchannels was developed. The model was compared to 151 experimental data points obtained from mini- and microchannels that include various working fluids (Water, R-123, R-113, R-134a, and R-245fa) and a broad range of mass velocities (50-1600 kg/m2s) and pressures (101 kPa-888 kPa). The agreement between the model and experiments was good (overall mean absolute error (MAE) =25.8%), and it becomes particularly better for the experimental data obtained from thin wall/substrate minichannel and microchannel configurations (MAE=21.3%), which were not vulnerable to any boiling instabilities.

A carcinoma, such as the one that served as the original source of the A-549 cell line, is a solid, cancerous growth that begins its development in the epithelial tissue that forms human skin and comprises the linings of most organs and glands. The cells of a carcinoma may spread, however, to nearby tissues that are otherwise healthy and can also generate secondary tumors known as metastases in parts of the body that are distant from the initial growth. Some of the most common areas of carcinoma development include the skin, lungs, uterus, stomach, ovaries, and prostate, though the incidence of growths in these and other areas vary significantly by country. Lung carcinoma, which was deemed relatively rare in the early twentieth century, is currently diagnosed more than any other form of major cancer worldwide. It is also the most common cause of cancer fatalities in both men and women. In countries where cigarette smoking has been prevalent for many years, as many as 90 percent of patients diagnosed with lung cancer are, or have been, smokers.
A human lung carcinoma (A-549) cell culture (illustrated above) was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-cytokeratin (an intermediate filament protein) mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Marina Blue. The culture was also stained with MitoTracker Red CMXRos and SYTOX Green to probe the mitochondrial network and nuclei, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Specifications & Dimensions
Overview: The LG AG-S100 3D glasses enable you to view 3D video and images on a 3D-ready LG television. To experience LG's 3D technology, you need a 2010 LG 3D-ready TV (LX-series, sold separately) and these LG's 3D Active Shutter Glasses (AG-S100); along with an HDMI connected 3D source, such as a Blu-ray player or Satellite receiver. The wireless 3D glasses communicate seamlessly with the LG 3D-ready TV via a built-in emitter. The glasses themselves contain special liquid-crystal lenses, which actively lighten and darken with the 3D content. The full 3D effect is created when each eye sees a slightly different image. The result is a beautiful, full HD 1080p 3D experience that brings you closer to the action from the comfort of your home.
Compatible 3D-Ready TVs: The LG 3D active shutter glasses (AG-S100) are compatible with the following 2010 LG 3D-ready HDTVs - LX9500, LX6500, LEX9, and LEX8. The TV communicates with the glasses using an infrared transmitter that is included with the television.
Note: In addition to the 3D active shutter glasses and compatible LG 3D-ready HDTV, you will also need an HDMI connected 3D source (such as a Blu-ray player or Satellite receiver), and 3D software content.
Shutter Glass Technology: Shutter glass technology uses liquid crystal to deliver great 3D images with virtually no "ghosting", or image trailing, and synchronizes with your television to let you enjoy 3D technology to the fullest.
Wide Angle View: The LG 3D active shutter glasses provide a wide, clear view of the action with a 23.0' and 120° viewing range.

Fujitsu P1120 Working!
Maybe you need the touchpanel pet file from the beginning of this forum still but after that all you need is...
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "touchscreen" "CorePointer"
Also add the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchscreen"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/js0"
Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"
Now you will need to download and use Joytouch:
All you have to do is:
chmod 777 runjoy
Note: I typed all this out by hand so there might be some typos and you will also probably want to have it load the following on startup:
I didn't cover that here yet... I spent forever trying to configure this... and I just wanted something up that works for the P1120!
All I need now is to figure out how to run this script on startup.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my touchscreen on this MSI Pennote 3100 working. I have looked at the manual and website, but haven't found much more than information identifying it as a touchscreen.
I can't seem to identify who made the device or anything. I guess it simply runs through the motherboard's PS/2 port from what I've derived from /proc/bus/input/devices. Is there any other way to identify it?
Having read through this, is it correct that Puppy doesn't support any PS/2 touchscreens or just some? I'm a bit confused.

Hi tempestuous/other interesteds
untested, but couldn't PS2 to USB adapter be used....?
Older computer monitors that offered touch screen capabilities often used a PS/2 interface to transmit the coordinates touched on the monitor to the computer. Touch screens work in a very similar way to a mouse, with the actual screen coordinates replacing mouse movement data and tapping on the screen replacing mouse clicks. In some cases, a touch screen that uses the PS/2 interface may have a pass-through that also allows you to use a mouse with your touch screen. However, the touch screen would likely have priority in cases of conflicts between mouse input and screen input. How this works will depend on the how the hardware and software of the touch screen are designed. Older touch screens use the PS/2 interface. More modern touch screens use USB.
Some clever clogs may try their own connections ps2>usb
[Info gathered whilst researching Car PC project]
However check out Chinese touchscreens [usb solderless] for EEEPC etc on ebay....they're getting cheap!!

Maybe, I don't know. Certainly the touchscreen events will appear at the USB bus of the Puppy computer, but there's no guarantee that the nature of these events (which would normally be interpreted by extended driver code in the Linux PS/2 driver) will be recognised by the usbtouchscreen module in Puppy.
I have asked Barry to include PS/2 touchscreen support in future kernels -

Post subject: Panasonic CF-73 Laptop touchscreen... can't make it work
Hello all, I recently discovered puppy and been toying with it for a few days now, I took my old Panasonic Toughbook CF-73 which i use mostly to connect to a LCD tv and watch movies killed winXP and put a puppy into it... it all works and looks nice, i can access the samba shares faster than from a win machine and life is good... so I tried to make the touchscreen work as it is a nice options to control the film from the bed how lazy i am...
Anyway, i followed the instructions here and in some other posts and invented some... to no avail i cannot make it work...
The laptop on windows finds the touchscreen as a serial device on com port 7, and the hardware identifier is: FJC5000 which i assume is a Fujitsu...
I am running puppy 511 and used the .pet in the first post for the closes version 4xx something... edited the xorg.conf in all possible ways:
used eventXX, ttySXX, all.. and no matter what the touchscreen remains irresponsive...
any help or advice will be much appreciated

That was wrong. I suggest you delete the entire /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/input/ directory.
Puppy 5.1.x already contains the necessary touchscreen Xorg plugins at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input
Now see the next post.

Fujitsu Toughbooks
Apparently there was a range of different touchscreen devices across the Toughbook range, some on the serial port, some USB. You will need to Google to find our which touchscreen driver components each Toughbook requires.
The Toughbook CF-73 has an "SMK" serial touchscreen device, which requires the fairly conventional "evtouch" Xorg input plugin, but also a special kernel module called "toughbooksmk", plus a special utility called "inputattach".
Puppy 5.1 already contains the evtouch plugin, but here are the other 2 components.
The source code (which I needed to hack) was obtained from
First set up the evtouch plugin as per the serial setup instructions earlier in this thread
The difference will be:
In section 2b, the two modules to load at bootup are "toughbooksmk" and "evdev".
In section 4, your "Driver" value will be "evtouch".
In section 5, the extra command to add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local is
inputattach -smk /dev/ttyS4
Cross your fingers and reboot.
If no success, it may be that the Puppy kernel image needs to be replaced (??), too, because while I was compiling the toughbooksmk kernel module I noticed that the patchfile updated the kernel's serial include files.
for Puppy 5.1/5.2

tempestuous, thanks for the reply, I did as you told me and crossed my fingers, however now i only get a black screen when i start Xwin...
I am trying to figure out how to solve that.
Here is what i did:
tried to delete the files in
the window just froze and the files did not delete.
Q: the are a lot of files in there also are you sure i need to delete them all?
(What i did was to copy them elsewhere and deleted them from the console)
Then i Downloaded the .pet at the end of your post (I assumed it had the files you mention in the post
Did the edits as per your post.
Crossed my fingers and restarted...
Result black screen....
I did a inputattch -debug /dev/ttySX until i found that /dev/ttyS2 gives me gibberish in the console when i press the touchscreen... so i assume the TS is on ttyS2 not in 4... anyway when i run from the console
inputattach -smk /dev/ttyS2 it just sits there doing nothing...
I've also tried inputattach -fjs as Windows finds the TS to be a fujitsu fjc5000...
do you have any more advice?
once i succeed in having X11 start i will try to fiddle a bit with your instructions...
BTW: i left the laptop with an Ironbrowser window open and there was a video embeed in one page and the laptop refused to throttle down the CPU even thou the video was not playing curious about it i ran a top from the console and the flashlib.so was using 90% cpu time even thou nothing was happening in the PC... i selectively closed Iron tabs until by closing the one with the video embeeded the cpu when to idle and flashlib stopped using it.... would that be considered a bug? should i report it somewherE ?

OK, that's good diagnosis.
I suggest you also have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, looking for anything relating to the "evtouch" plugin.
I have a feeling you will need a revised kernel image, which will provide the extra logic for the serial driver to talk to the touchscreen driver.
I can compile this shortly after Christmas.

Thanks again!
I managed to recover from the blank screen, by commenting the touchscreen lines out in:
Unfortunately XORG decided that it needed to run the wizard and it destroyed my previos xorg.conf but there was an .old one in the folder so i recovered it
I am still struggling to get rid of a second panel /task bar that appeared after that and trying to figure out why my script in startup stopped mounting the samba shares...
I did a selective
enabling and by commenting the
toughbooksmk X asks me to run the wizard (I hit ignore, but still black screen)
I just remembered that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is a module section and i added the evdev and the toughtbooksmk in the form:
load "modulename"
because modprobe was telling me that:
WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d
That didn't work neither...
Finally i commented in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
the line:
InputDevice "touchscreen" "CorePointer"
and Xwin started but the menu items for restart X server and reboot power off are nt working also y have the annoyng double taskbar...
Once i solved this i will re-post with touchscreen related actions...

To avoid messing up your installation I suggest in the testing phase you just boot to the Puppy 5.1 CD, and restart X (Ctrl<Alt>Backspace) each time you change your xorg.conf file. And of course once X has launched, you need to run the "inputattach" command to activate the touchscreen.

Don't worry about that, it's just a warning to update the old /etc/modprobe.conf regime, but the old regime is still recognised.

I don't think that will work. My understanding is that "modulename" refers to an Xorg module or extension, not kernel module.
Yes, some Xorg modules contain logic which will load a kernel module (Xorg DRI modules, for example) but I don't think Xorg can directly load a kernel module.
But there's no need to make things so complex anyway, just run these 2 commands
modprobe toughbooksmk
modprobe evdev
And I still suspect you will need a revised kernel, which will need to wait.

tempestuous thanks again!
I have not found out how to unbreak what i broke
but it is surprisingly easy to break
even thou i dont know what it is lol...
I just realized myself that i will need to reinstall again the puppy and that i definitively will use 2 install.. 1 to use the laptop and another to get that bloody TS working...
I will do it and keep you posted in case the kennel (puppy kernel
) needs to be modified...
BTW i am running LUPU-515 i just checked...
So if i boot from the CD i should:
From the console:
modprobe toughtbooksmk
modprobe evdev
set serial etc...
inputattach xxxx
edit the xorg.conf and restart X (CTRL ALT BSPACE) and xwin ?
and it should work if it is gonna work ?
I tried from the CD and upon modding the xorg.conf X refused to start used xorgwizard and it broke the menus had to hard boot the machine... maybe there is a bug in xorgwizard ?
Merry xmas mate and have i said thanks?

This is just a draft - more detailed instructions coming up soon + more detailed tests
Netbook works flawlessly with Arch Linux (if you encounter freezes see Troubleshooting below)
- 1 HDD important issue
- 2 Graphics
- 3 Wireless
- 4 ACPI Functions
- 5 Power Management with Laptop Mode Tools
- 6 Troubleshooting
- 7 Tips
HDD important issue
With the Western Digital hard drive (not SSD), there is an important issue: using the APM (Advanced Power Management) there are too nomerous spin-down, that can damage the hard drive. To confirm this issue you have to install smartmontools:
# pacman -S smartmontools
And you have to run multiple times this command (once in a minute for like 5 minutes):
# smartctl -a /dev/sda|grep Load_Cycle_Count
If the number under Load_Cycle_Count is increasing in a small amount of time (1 or 2 in a minute) you have this issue. The problem is easily solvable using laptop-mode-tools. In your /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf you have to set:
# # Should laptop mode tools control the hard drive power management settings? # CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1 # # Power management for HD (hdparm -B values) # BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=255 LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=255 NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=255
This disable all power management systems of the hard drive cause a light heat up (maybe). The same behaviour can be obtained running this command:
# hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
the 255 number is the power-management level, in a range of 1-255 where 1 is maximum powersaving and 255 powersaving disabled. However setting the value to 253 causes a lot of spin-down. Setting the spin-down feature (it parks the heads away from disk) however can save hdd in case of fall.
Nvidia's Closed-Source Driver
Just install the official closed source drivers from arch extra repo:
pacman -S nvidia
Open-Source Driver
If you desire Kernel Mode Setting and xinerama (better multihead support), then install nouveau instead of the closed-source driver.
pacman -S xf86-video-nouveau
And (experimental) 3D support:
pacman -S nouveau-dri
There is native support from 3.0 kernel version with rtl8192se module.
ACPI Functions
In order to use the function keys and extend battery life, you can set up the ACPI Driver, then install and configure the tools below.
The driver for the ACPI functions of the 1201N is called eeepc_laptop. It is part of the mainline kernel, so all that needs to be done is to load the module:
modprobe eeepc_laptop
If the command fails with such error message:
FATAL: Error inserting eeepc_laptop (/lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.ko): No such device
you need to add acpi_osi=Linux to kernel parameters in your bootloader configuration.
Function Keys
You must have acpid installed to use the Function keys:
pacman -S acpid
After installing acpid, you will have to add it to your DAEMONS array in rc.conf.
Then, you need to install acpi-eeepc-generic package from AUR and edit file /etc/conf.d/acpi-eeepc-generic.conf:
Comment out EEEPC_CONF_DONE option:
If you are using linux drivers for wifi you should also edit the WIFI_DRIVERS array:
Otherwise the wifi toggle button won't work.
Afterward, you must restart acipd:
/etc/rc.d/acpid restart
Power Management with Laptop Mode Tools
You can use Laptop Mode to substantially increase your battery life on Linux. To do so, Install the [Laptop Mode Tools|laptop-mode-tools] from extra repo:
pacman -S laptop-mode-tools
and add "laptop-mode" to your DAEMONS array in rc.conf. Many of the power managment settings in laptop-mode are disbaled by default, so it is encouraged that you explore the configuration files throroughly. Here are some highlights of configuration options worth exploring:
Super Hybrid Engine
Super Hybrid Engine is a simple FSB tweaker that can radically reduce power consumption.
To enable automatic SHE manipulation just edit /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/eee-superhe.conf:
If you've configured function keys using acpi-eeepc-generic, you can manually change SHE mode by using Fn+Space.
Wifi Power Management
The linux native wifi driver supports wifi power management. If you are using the linux-native wifi driver, you can enable basic power management by editing /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/wireless-power.conf:
Install pm-utils:
pacman -S pm-utils
If you are using linux wifi driver you need to unload it before suspending otherwise the machine won't resume. To do this automatically uncomment and edit appropriate line in /etc/pm/config.d/config file:
SUSPEND_MODULES="ehci_hcd r8192se_pci"
The ehci_hcd module is responsible for usb hub. Removing it solves the immediate resume issue (see Troubleshooting) You can try out the suspend2ram either by using function key Fn+F1 (if you've configured them to use pm-utils in /etc/conf.d/acpi-eeepc-generic.conf) or by running:
Install uswsusp-git package from AUR.
Set resume device parameter (your swap partition) in /etc/suspend.conf
resume device = /dev/sda3
Add possibility to suspend2disk with closing laptop if you installed acpi-eeepc-generic.
Modify /etc/conf.d/acpi-eeepc-generic.conf
Add next lines
COMMANDS_HIBERNATE=("/etc/acpi/eeepc/acpi-eeepc-generic-suspend2disk.sh") SUSPEND2DISK_COMMANDS=("s2disk")
Edit variable COMMANDS_LID_CLOSE_ON_BATTERY value like this
Now copy /etc/acpi/eeepc/acpi-eeepc-generic-suspend2ram.sh to /etc/acpi/eeepc/acpi-eeepc-generic-suspend2disk.sh and edit command to run
execute_commands "${SUSPEND2DISK_COMMANDS[@]}"
Now restart acpid
#/etc/rc.d/acpid restart
LCD brightness
To enable LCD brightness automatic manipulation you need to edit /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf and set proper BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT path:
BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 8" LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15" NOLM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15" BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT="/proc/acpi/video/IGPU/LCDD/brightness"
Machine does not resume after suspend2ram
You have to unload r8192se_pci module right before suspending. See Suspend2RAM section of this article for details.
After suspending the machine immediately resumes
You have to unload usb module(s) before suspending. See Suspend2RAM section of this article for details.

The New Year is a time to celebrate and look forward, just as it's a time to reflect. So let's join together and raise a glass to the memories of some of the members of our community that passed in 2012.
Requiescat in pace.
Leo Dillon [b. 1933]
With his wife and collaborator Diane, Leo created some of the most memorable covers and illustrations of the last half century. Well known for their numerous paintings for the works of Harlan Ellison and a brace of inspirational children's books, the Dillons have been honored with the Caldecott Medal, the Hugo, the Hamilton King, the World Fantasy, and the Spectrum Grand Master awards.
Jean "Moebius" Giraud [b. 1938]
Easily one of the most influential artists in the comics field (whether under his own name or the pseudonyms of Moebius or Gir), Jean was also a book illustrator and film designer.
Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element, Willow
and many other popular movies benefitted from his vision and skill.
David Grove [b. 1940]
Inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 2007, David's art was inspirational and his style instantly identifiable. Irene Gallo said, "David's work was fluid and dream-like but, make no mistake about it, everything was thoughtful and planned."
Joe Kubert [b. 1926]
A legend in the comics industry for over fifty years, Joe spent much of his career as an artist, writer, and editor for DC. As founder of The Kubert School he was instrumental in launching the careers of many of today's most popular creators. Joe was inducted into both the Will Eisner and the Jack Kirby Halls of Fame.
Ralph McQuarrie [b. 1929]
Concept artist and illustrator, Ralph was best known for his work on
Battlestar Galactica, E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial, Cocoon
(for which he won the Oscar®) and, of course, the original
Star Wars
trilogy. George Lucas said, "When words could not convey my idea. I could always point to one of Ralph's fabulous illustrations and say, 'Do it like this'."
Spain Rodriguez [b. 1940]
Inspired by his experiences on the road as a member of the biker gang, The Road Vultures, Spain was one of the original Underground comix artists and was the creator the character of Trashman for The
East Village Other
. Art Spiegelman described Spain's 2009 book
Che: A Graphic Biography
as "brilliant and radical."
Maurice Sendak [b. 1928]
Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, Bumble-Andy, Brundibar, Outside Over There, Mommy?
Maurice was responsible for filling our childhood bookshelves with wonder. He was honored with the National Medal of Arts and numerous other awards throughout his career.
John P. Severin [b. 1921]
One of the true workhorses of the comics field, John produced outstanding—and meticulously researched and rendered—art for EC, Warren, Marvel, DC, and DH. Highly regarded for his war stories, he was no stranger to fantasy and created an exceptional run of stories (in collaboration with his sister, Marie) adapting Robert E. Howard's Kull adventures in the 1970s for Marvel.
Sergio Toppi [b. 1932]
Sergio was prolific and his art exceptional, regardless of whether he was drawing comics, book illustrations, or advertisments. Comfortable with any genre, he is perhaps best known for his historical adventure stories for Italian publisher CEPIM.

I personally don't like this new theme at all. I hate the manga hair and all that stuff.
And I mean, look at this set

Dark Blue Dark Night
Added May 12, 2013
by Ralf Schmitz
Berlin, Germany
This jacket is again for my lovely friend Martina! She uses for most of here ways her bike to go around and even it is spring now finally in berlin, it can still be very cold in the mornings and at night.
Here is the solution for this problem: a lightweighted but windproofed and warm and cothy jacket. Made out of a coublefaced hightec material. It looks like felt outside in dark blue and very soft and cuddley in dark beige inside.
The pattern is done by me and i have used quite a long time to finish the jacket, as (due to the thickness of material) i had to handstich a lot of seams……..
hope you all like it!
Material Notes
hightec material in doubleface optic outside dark blue inside dark beige, thread, 3 zippers and strechy material for the waist

Hi Ralf,
Completed dress, and at a guess at least two sizes too big! (ha ha!) My total inexperience of pattern reading and measuring I think had a lot to do with it. I have learnt loads though, and no.2 attempt is soon to be started.
May 28, 2013, 05.21 AMby Ralf Schmitz
dearest sally! the trick is to stand up and walk again :-) do this dress again with everything you learned. it will be amazing. you will see! good luck and looking forward to see it …..

As for Razorwire, GW sells two 6-inch coils of model Razorwire for $10. I'm thinking I'll put little bits of corkboard over the bases for my Dark Angels (A friend and I are going to split a Dark Vengeance starter set), and then put sections of razorwire on every third base or something.
As for my own battlefield, what my friends and I do is drape one of those GW "battle mats" (basically a green felt sheet) over a table, stick some terrain on, and call it good.

Gaborone gäbərō´nē [key], city (1992 est. pop. 140,000), capital of Botswana. It is located on the country's major railroad line and has a small international airport. The city is the country's administrative center. Nearby manganese and asbestos mines have led to increased industrial expansion, and diamonds are processed, sorted, and traded. The city was founded c.1890 by Gaborone Matlapin, an African chief, and was known as Gaberones. In 1965 it replaced what is now Mahikeng , South Africa, as capital of the Bechuanaland Protectorate; it remained the capital when Bechuanaland became independent as Botswana in 1966, and received its present name in 1969. The South African Development Community (SADC) makes its headquarters in Gaborone; the organization was formed in 1980 in order to increase economic cooperation among its members and reduce dependence on South Africa. Gaborone is the seat of the Univ. of Botswana (1971).
