Five questions for the Hobbit's Andy Serkis
Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen talk about reprising 'Lord of the Rings' roles.
There are plenty of new faces — many obscured by beards — to be found in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first of three films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's popular fantasy-adventure that opens wide Friday. But these three actors who first traveled to Middle-earth — and New Zealand, where the movies were shot — for The Lord of Rings trilogy in 2001 have reunited with director Peter Jackson for a repeat trip to the land of wizards, goblins and elves. USA TODAY's Susan Wloszczyna catches up with Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis.
MORE: Martin Freeman goes on quite a journey for 'The Hobbit'
REVIEW: 'The Hobbit' is short on excitement
TRUITT: Jackson, filmmakers embark on another Tolkien trilogy
Elijah Wood, 31, as Frodo
His role in The Hobbit: As the movie opens, a carefree Frodo visits Bilbo (Ian Holm) as his uncle is writing the story of his adventures on the road 60 years before with a band of dwarves. Says Jackson, "We wanted Ian and Elijah in the beginning so that kids who have seen The Lord of the Rings on TV but never read The Hobbit would have a visual way to see how the stories were related."
Q: Frodo is not included in the book of The Hobbit. Did you ever think you would wear those big furry feet again?
A: When we were done with The Return of the King (the final Rings installment) in 2003, that was the end for all of us. There was a sense that The Hobbit would get made at some stage, but I didn't think I would have any involvement. But when I got the call, I didn't hesitate for a second. The idea of going back to New Zealand felt like a family reunion in a way.
Q: How did it feel to see yourself as Frodo again?
A: I remember when I got into costume, with the hair and the ears, for the first time, looking at myself in the mirror — it's like seeing the character. And the character has become its own sort of thing now. It was lovely to see Frodo on-screen again — and this time in 3-D.
Q: It looks as if they upgraded those feet.
A: They have. When we made Rings,they were basically just foot prosthetics that would go below the ankle. They had to be glued on every morning. Now they are slip-ons that go up just below the knee. So the whole leg is also silicon with hair. You can put them on in five minutes.
Q: After all Frodo endured because of a ring, do you ever wear any?
A: I have a silver ring that I wear that has an inscription in Hebrew, not Elvish. It does bear a resemblance, funny enough. It looks like runes. It says, "If not now, when?"
Q: Will you show up in the next two Hobbit films?
A: I don't think so, but Warner Bros. said I should say I don't know because they don't know. So anything can happen. Right now, all the stuff I shot is supposed to be for the first.
Ian McKellen, 73, as Gandalf
His role in The Hobbit: As The Lord of the Rings concluded in 2003, Gandalf had been reborn as a lofty supreme being known as a white wizard and was focused on saving Middle-earth. In The Hobbit, set 60 years earlier, he is back to being the more fun-loving Gandalf the Grey. Despite McKellen's claim that he was reluctant to come back, Jackson says, "I think Ian was happy to play Gandalf. He would rather see himself as Gandalf on-screen than John Hurt. Whenever he was tired or grumpy, I used to joke with him that John Hurt is in a hotel down the road and can be called on set anytime."
Q: You were initially reluctant to wear Gandalf's pointy hat once more, a decision complicated by matters that led to a delay in filming The Hobbit for years. What persuaded you to do it?
A: In the end, it was an actor friend. She said, "Ian, the fans aren't going to be interested in your problems. They don't mind that you are going to live away from home. They don't mind if you have no back-end (deal) or whatever is puzzling you. They just want the story to continue." Honestly, I thought this is one of the few occasions when the audience absolutely comes first.
Q: How was it to leave London behind and live in New Zealand again for 18 months?
A: It's a dreadful journey, but once you get there ... The canard about New Zealand is it is like England in the 1950s. But it was the first country in the world to give women the vote. Socially, they have been advancing gay rights. There are state brothels. Those people really know how to live. There are only 4.5 million of them. There is still a divide between the Maori and European stock, but at least they admit there is something to be sorted out. So you're living in a society that is evolving.
Q: You get to revisit Gandalf in The Hobbit before matters grow more dire in The Lord of the Rings. What was that like?
A: The wizard that Tolkien created in The Hobbit is a grandfatherly figure who you could have fun with. He could also be quite stern, but he would look after you. That is my favorite. There is a bit more variety to play, and when people think of Gandalf, that is the one you want to be with. You'd rather spend an evening with him than Gandalf the White, who would be talking about battle plans."
Q: You were already an esteemed actor on stage and screen before The Lord of the Rings. Did the trilogy have any effect on your life and career?
A: A friend who lives in Hollywood before the first film opened said, "Ian, your life is about to change forever in terms of fame." And it really has. I can get in an elevator in a strange city, and a guy from the States sees me and says, "Can I take your photograph?" I don't quite relate to that person. All it means is that he has seen The Lord of the Rings, or maybe X-Men (he's the older Magneto in the comic-book franchise). What is nice about being a little bit famous is that I can go into a strange situation, even a party, and enough people will know me so I can relax.
Q: What ultimately is the basic difference between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings?
A: The hero in The Lord of the Rings doesn't make it back home, as many heroes don't. But Bilbo gets back. This is an adventure story, not a tragedy to save the world.
Bilbo (Martin Freeman) meets Gollum (Andy Serkis) and tries to enlist his help.
Andy Serkis, 48, as Gollum
His role in The Hobbit: The slithery, loincloth-draped creature who was linked to Frodo by being a fellow ring-bearer still has split-personality issues as he engages Bilbo in a game of riddles in a cave. If Bilbo wins, he will go free. If Gollum wins, he will feast on the juicy hobbit. "No one does these performance-capture characters like Andy," says Jackson. "I also wanted Andy as the second-unit director. They often can be a bit safe and just shoot what they think the director needs. But Andy is far from safe. He has an adventurous and courageous spirit."
Q: Was there any question whether you would return for The Hobbit?
A: We all assumed I would. The character has never really gone away. He is still lurking and gurgling. I'm reminded of him on a daily basis.
Q: How is this Gollum different than the one in The Lord of the Rings?
A: Gollum has been on his own in the Misty Mountains for 500 years, and so now, he has someone to talk to and play riddles with. He has distant memories of those games. Of course, there is the pragmatic, visceral Gollum side, which is saying to Bilbo, "You're dinner." He has a few more teeth and no scars. He is more combative and playful. He's not been tortured. And he is not driven by revenge for most of the scene, since he doesn't know that Bilbo has taken the ring. If he did, he would go crazy.
Q: How was playing opposite Martin Freeman as Bilbo?
A: Martin and I have been circling each other as actors for a long time. I admired everything he has done. We've bumped into each other in Soho in London a number of times and said, "God, we've got to work with each other one day." I knew there was a possibility of him doing Bilbo, and we just hit it off great. The riddles in the dark was the first scene shot on the movie, and we played it out each time we did it. It's a 12-minute scene, so watching Martin develop his character during this fantastic battle of wills was really good fun.
Q: You also acquire an extra duty on all three films as a second-unit director.
A: Pete knew I had wanted to direct for years. When we were doing The Lord of the Rings, I started to write and shoot short films and direct performance-capture for video games and theater. All the time I was moving toward forming my own performance-capture studio at Ealing Studios in London. I did a whole smorgasbord of scenes, including the dwarves throwing plates and singing a song at Bag End. Pete wanted me to do it because I had been through Middle-earth before.
Q: Will Gollum show up in the other Hobbit films, due in 2013 and 2014?
A: Gollum is not a huge part of the book. The dragon Smaug is more of the thing. How much more Gollum are we getting? I always say "never say never" with Peter Jackson. You know it is expanding now into a third movie, so who knows?

The Wabash basketball team must wait until Monday afternoon and hold out hope its name will be called when the Pool C selections are made for the 2011 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament. The Little Giants fell 65-63 to Wittenberg in Friday night's semifinal game of the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament.
For game photos, click here and here.
Ninety-four feet proved to be the difference at the end of the ball game. With the contest tied at 63-63, Wabash junior Nick Curosh (left) took a shot inside on an offensive putback attempt that was deflected away by Wittenberg's Clayton Black. Seth Hill grabbed the rebound, raced to the other end of the floor, and hit one of his two baskets of the game --- this one coming just before the buzzer sounded to give the Tigers the win.
The loss marked the second consecutive year that Wabash lost to Wittenberg in the closing seconds of a semifinal contest. Last year, a foul call with seven seconds left on the same type of shot put up by Curosh sent David Hieber to the free throw line with seven seconds left for the game-winner. A last-second shot by Aaron Brock in that 2010 game came up short after heavy defense applied by Lewis Buzzard.
The Little Giants had no answer for Wittenberg's Chris Sullivan in this year's game. The Tiger senior was electric from beyond the arc, connecting on 9-of-11 3-point shots, scoring a game-high 29 points. Wabash kept Clayton Black under wraps most of the evening. Black entered the game as the leading scorer for Wittenberg, averaging 15.2 points a game and shooting 58 percent from the field. The Little Giants held him to 3-of-9 shooting for nine total points.
Wabash got a solid effort inside from senior Ben Burkett and Curosh to go with a team-high 19 points from Wes Smith. Curosh recorded his first career double-double by grabbing 15 boards and scoring 10 points. Burkett was 4-of-6 from the field for 11 points. Derek Bailey and Aaron Zinnerman each added eight points, while Brian Shelbourne handed out six assists.
The Little Giants will wait for the 1 p.m. announcement from the NCAA Division III selection committee to see if their 20-6 record will be good enough to make the field of 61 teams to play in the tournament. Forty-two teams will earn automatic bids, with one Pool B and 18 Pool C at-large bids available. Wabash could be eligible for a Pool C bid, and will try to earn its first trip to the tourney since the 1998-99 season.
Should Wabash not receive a bid, the loss to Wittenberg will bring an end to the career of Head Coach Mac Petty, who announced his retirement earlier this month. Petty would finish with a career record of 544-417 and a mark of 497-389 in 35 seasons at Wabash.
Smith (above right) finished the night by scoring his 1,804th career points, ranking him fifth on the Wabash all-time scoring list. He owns the school record for steals with 248, the only Little Giant player with more than 200 steals in a career. His 106 career starts is also a Wabash record, while his 652 field goals made place him fifth in the Wabash record book. Burkett, Andrew Gilman, Dominique Thomas, and Kenneth Taylor join Smith as the senior members of the Little Giant team.

Richie Culhane, a retired Special Branch Detective Garda and Fine Gael councillor is Marian's guest in studio. As a former member of the Garda Special Branch, Richie Culhane gives us an insight into the working of these types of criminal minds and the challenges facing the Gardai. Being a Garda is always a dangerous job but now it is more common for criminal gangs to be armed and they are not afraid to use them and this presents an even greater challenge.
Prof. Ian Robertson, author of the The Winner Effect: The Neuroscience of Success and Failure, Professor of Psychology in Trinity College, has
established a memory research unit where he and his team are finding out how lifestyle factors can influence memory and cognitive function in older people. At the moment they are not able to help people who may already have dementia – their focus is on finding out how they might prevent it in ordinary people. He is looking for potential volunteers.

Richard Cottrell, editor of The Browser/thebrowser.com makes the case to Marian that a number of the best pieces for us to read on a daily basis are only available on the internet. His website aims to recommend the five or six best pieces available each day. He says 1% of the material available on the internet is of value to the intelligent general reader, 4% could be classed as entertainment rubbish and the other 95% has no redeeming features. He gives tips as to which sites are worth visiting depending on your interests. See his article below:
Net Wisdom by Robert Cottrell / published in the Financial Times, February 15, 2013
Why some of the best writing is to be found on the internet, and what I've learnt from reading it every day, by Robert Cottrell, editor of the Browser
For much of my adult life I was a diligent producer of daily and weekly journalism. In recent years I have become a gargantuan consumer of it. It is a privilege to earn one's living by writing but, as I discovered, it is also a privilege, and a less stressful one, to earn one's living by reading.
I read all day. Were it not for the demands of sleep and family life, I would read all night. My aim is to find all the writing worth reading on the internet, and to recommend the five or six best pieces each day on my website, the Browser. I pass over in silence here the Browser's many virtues. My purpose here is to share with you four lessons I have learnt in five years' drinking from the fire hose.
My first contention: this is a great time to be a reader. The amount of good writing freely available online far exceeds what even the most dedicated consumer might have hoped to encounter a generation ago within the limits of printed media.
I don't pretend that everything online is great writing. Let me go further: only 1 per cent is of value to the intelligent general reader, by which I mean the demographic that, in the mainstream media world, might look to the Economist, the Financial Times, Foreign Affairs or the Atlantic for information. Another 4 per cent of the internet counts as entertaining rubbish. The remaining 95 per cent has no redeeming features. But even the 1 per cent of writing by and for the elite is an embarrassment of riches, a horn of plenty, a garden of delights.
Each day I seek my six pieces with these criteria in mind: would I go out of my way to recommend this piece to one of my own friends? Will it inform and delight the intelligent general reader? Will it still be worth reading a month or a year from now?
I apply those rules, and I am almost always surprised and delighted myself by the stuff I bring back, all for free. Today, for example – I am writing this on February 7 – my final cut includes:
? an essay by the musician David Byrne, on his own blog, about civil disobedience and the case of Aaron Swartz, the internet prodigy who committed suicide under threat of prosecution.
? a scholarly book review in the online edition of Dissent magazine, by Steven Randy Waldman, about the history of financial risk, and the tensions between risk and personal freedom.
? a commentary for the New Republic by Jeffrey Rosen, professor of law at George Washington University, on why the Obama administration's guidelines for assassinating US citizens abroad are unconstitutional.
These are the best, the top drawer, the keepers. I know when I have found such a piece, because I cannot stop reading until the end.
As such, they are relatively rare. Where the internet excels is in serving up plentiful writing that sits, you might say, one level down: at the level of very good daily journalism, whether on subjects of immediate interest for a general audience or more esoteric subjects for a specialised audience. I see scores of pieces each day that are plainly written, strongly argued and highly informative.
Where is it coming from? Some of it comes from professional journalists, writing for the websites of established publications or on their own blogs. But much of it – the great new addition to our writing and reading culture – comes from professionals in other fields who find the time, the motivation and the opportunity to write for anyone who cares to read. I am sorry that the internet gifted this practice with such an ugly name, "blogging", but it is too late to change that now.
As a gross generalisation, academics make excellent bloggers, within and beyond their specialist fields. So, too, do aid workers, lawyers, musicians, doctors, economists, poets, financiers, engineers, publishers and computer scientists. They blog for pleasure; they blog for visibility within their field; they blog to raise their value and build their markets as authors and public speakers; they blog because their peers do.
Businessmen and politicians make the worst bloggers because they do not like to tell what they know, and telling what you know is the essence of blogging well. They also fear to be wrong; and, as Felix Salmon, Reuters' finance blogger, insists and sometimes demonstrates: "If you are never wrong, you are never interesting".
To read the blog of a political scientist, or an anthropologist, or a lawyer, or an information technologist, is the next best thing to reading their mind; better, in some ways, since what they have to say emerges in considered form. These are the experts who, a couple of decades ago, would have functioned as sources for newspaper journalists. Their opinions would emerge often mangled and simplified, always truncated, in articles over which they had no final control.
Now we can read them directly, and discover what they actually think and say. We can know, for example, what lawyers are saying about a new appointment to the Supreme Court; what political scientists expect from an election; how computer scientists evaluate Apple's updated operating system; what economists expect from a new government policy. The general reader has access to expertise that was easily available, a decade ago, only to the insider or the specialist.
Here are some elite blogs for your reading diet, if you don't have them bookmarked already. For American legal commentary, I recommend the Volokh Conspiracy. For political science, the Monkey Cage. For economics, Marginal Revolution. For computing, Asymco. For literature, the Millions. Treat these as starting points: most blogs feature a shortlist of other recommended blogs in the same field, providing stepping stones with which to explore further.
My second contention as a professional reader is one that may seem self-evident in the world of blogging but also holds good across the whole universe of online writing and publishing: the writer is everything. The corollary of this also holds good: the publisher (with a few exceptions) is nothing.
After thousands of diligent appraisals, I can confidently sign off on this excessively simple truth: good writers write good pieces, regardless of subject and regardless of publication. Mediocre writers write mediocre pieces. And nothing at all can rescue a bad writer.
A simple assertion, but put it in context and it becomes more complex and interesting. Think back to the days when print media ruled. Your basic unit of consumption was not the article, nor the writer, but the publication. You bought the publication in the hope or expectation that it would contain good writing. The publisher was the guarantor of quality.
Professional writers still see value in having publishers online, not so much as guarantors of quality, but because publishers pay for writing – or, increasingly, if they do not pay for it, they do at least publish it in a place where it will get read.
Readers, on the other hand, have less of a need for publishers. One striking trend I have noticed in the past five years is the way in which individual articles uncouple themselves from the places where they are first published, to lead their own lives across the internet, passed from hand to hand between readers.
This is due, in large part, to the rise of social media – primarily Facebook and Twitter. Five years ago, you needed to visit a publisher's website to see what was new there. Now, you hear about a particular article through Twitter or Facebook; a friend will share the link; you may visit the page directly but more probably you will save the link to your Instapaper or your Readability account, or mark it for reading later in your Flipboard feed, or on your Kindle or other reading device, and you will enjoy the piece later, probably offline. The article is what matters to the reader; the place of original publication may not even be noticed.
Indeed, from a reader's point of view, many online publishers subtract value. Let us say you have a writer who wants a reader; and a reader who wants a writer. Perfect. But if there is a publisher involved, his instincts will probably be to fill the space between reader and writer with banner advertisements, the object of which is to distract the reader from reading.
There are exceptions. As a reader I applaud, in no particular order, the New Yorker, the New York Review of Books, the Financial Times, the London Review of Books, and McSweeney's. They and others like them take seriously the job of publishing online. They care about building sites and apps that make readers want to read, and writers want to write. They show intelligence, good taste, and restraint. Long may they prosper.
That said, it seems to me almost inevitable that a new business model for reading and writing online will prevail in the future, which consists of readers rewarding directly the writers they admire. Almost inevitable, because this is by far the most efficient economic arrangement for both parties, and there are no longer any significant technological obstacles to its general adoption.
That also seems to be the view of Andrew Sullivan, the English-born American-based journalist who made his name in the 1990s as editor of the New Republic, before founding the Daily Dish, a wide-ranging political blog, in 2000. It now attracts about 1.8m unique visitors a month.
After years of successive partnerships with Time magazine, the Atlantic, and the Daily Beast, Sullivan decided this year to take the Dish independent, saying he wanted "to create a place where readers – and readers alone – sustain the site". Subscriptions are priced at $19.99 a year: during January alone, Sullivan raised $511,000 for the new venture.
Lesser blogs may not be able to raise money on Sullivan's scale but nor may they need to do so. The important lesson of the Dish experiment so far is that, contrary to received wisdom, internet users are willing to pay for content but that loyalty and affection towards the particular writer or brand probably have to be a big part of the transaction.
And so to my third contention: we overvalue new writing, almost absurdly so, and we undervalue older writing. I feel this market failure keenly each day when I recommend a fine piece of writing that deserves to be read for years to come and yet will have at most two days in the sun.
You never hear anybody say, "I'm not going to listen to that record because it was released last year," or, "I'm not going to watch that film because it came out last month." Why are we so much less interested in journalism that's a month or a year old?
The answer is that we have been on the receiving end of decades of salesmanship from the newspaper industry, telling us that today's newspaper is essential but yesterday's newspaper is worthless.
That distinction has been increasingly bogus since newspapers lost their news-breaking role to faster media 50 years ago, and began filling their pages with more and more timeless writing.
While consumers had to rely on print media, the distinction between old and new could be sustained by availability: today's newspaper was everywhere, yesterday's newspaper was nowhere, except perhaps in the cat litter.
Online, that distinction disappears – or it should. You can call up a year-old piece as easily as you can call up a day-old piece. And yet we hardly ever do so, because we are so hardly ever prompted to do so. Which condemns tens if not hundreds of thousands of perfectly serviceable articles to sleep in writers' and publishers' archives, written off, never to be seen again.
Why do even big publishing groups with the resources to do so (the New Yorker is an honourable exception) make so little attempt to organise, prioritise and monetise their archives?
The best explanation I can suggest comes from an analogy given to me by George Brock, a former managing editor of The Times, who is now professor of journalism at City University in London. Think of a newspaper or magazine as a mountain of data, he says, to which a thin new layer of topsoil gets added each day or each week. Everybody sees the new soil. But what's underneath gets covered up and forgotten. Even the people who own the mountain don't know what's in the lower layers.
They might try to find out but that demands a whole new set of tools. And, besides, they are too busy adding the new layer of topsoil each day.
I suspect that the wisest new hire for any long-established newspaper or magazine would be a smart, disruptive archive editor. Why just sit on a mountain of classic content, when you could be digging into it and finding buried treasure?
My fourth contention is that the internet is a force for brevity. Hard to believe, I know. You think of it as a place where people witter on for ever.
But when you're writing online, you don't have to fill an expected space or length, as you do when you write for a print publication. When you have a fixed space to fill, the temptation is to provide the minimal decent amount of original work needed, wrapped up in the maximum tolerable amount of verbiage. When you have no particular space to fill, there's no marginal utility to be derived from going on any longer than you need to.
It helps, too, that when you're writing online, there's no need to introduce and source every person, place and fact you mention, and no need to fill in the backstory for those new to the subject. You can link out to the source document or the related story – or just assume your reader knows how to use Google and Wikipedia.
This trend towards brevity is even more marked when it comes to books. Online publishing has spawned a new category of short books, 10,000 to 30,000 words long – Kindle Singles, Penguin Shorts, Atavist Originals and others – that give writers the space in which to turn round a big idea or a big story quickly and nimbly. Very often, 10,000 to 30,000 words is all a big idea needs, when you don't need to bulk it out with anecdotes to justify the price of a hardback book or to make sure it still has some value when it finally gets printed in a year. You can keep your thesis lean and topical. One of the most discussed popular economics books of the past two years, The Great Stagnation, by Tyler Cowen, was written as a 15,000-word ebook.
I could go on. But, speaking of brevity, here you will have to excuse me. I have 775 unread items from today in my RSS feed, and about six hours of Twitter to spool back through. Somebody has to do it, and I'm glad it's me.

Hard Drive Active Protection System
This page describes how to install HDAPS on your Arch Linux installation. HDAPS stands for "Hard Drive Active Protection System." Its purpose is to protect your hard drive from sudden shocks (such as dropping or banging your laptop on a desk). It does this by parking the disk heads, so that shocks do not cause them to crash into the drive's platters. Hopefully, this will prevent catastrophic failure.
Shock Detection
Your hardware needs to support some kind of shock detection. This is usually in the form of an accelerometer built into your laptop's motherboard. If you have the hardware, you also need a way to communicate what the hardware is detecting to your operating system. This section describes drivers to communicate the accelerometer's state to the OS so it can detect and protect against shocks.
tp_smapi is a set of drivers for many ThinkPad laptops. It is highly recommended if you have a supported ThinkPad, even if you do not plan to use HDAPS. Among a plethora of other useful things, tp_smapi represents the accelerometer output as joystick devices
/dev/input/js# (Note! This could interfere with other joystick devices on your system).
Install tp_smapi from the community repository. After installing, add
tp_smapi to a file
/etc/modules-load.d/tp_smapi.conf, assuming you are using systemd. After a reboot, this will activate most of the drivers, represented through the
/sys/devices/platform/smapi filesystem.
The kernel provides its own HDAPS drivers. Previously, it was necessary to manually
insmod the module via
/etc/rc.local to prevent the default drivers from being loaded. The tp_smapi package from community now installs
hdaps.ko to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates, which will let it supercede the built-in module. Thus, you can simply add
hdaps to your
MODULES array.
invert module parameter
For some ThinkPads, the invert module parameter is needed in order to handle the X and Y rotation axes correctly. In that case, you can add the option in
options hdaps invert=1
invert=1 is an example value used for a ThinkPad T410. The invert option takes the following values:
- invert=1 invert both X and Y axes;
- invert=2 invert the X axes (uninvert if already both axes inverted)
- invert=4 swap X and Y (takes place before inverting)
Note that options can be summed. For instance, invert=5 swaps the axes and inverts them. The maximum value of invert is obviously 7. If you do not know which option is correct for you, just try them out with hdaps-gl or some other GUI (see below). Alternatively, you can determine the exact value for your thinkpad model from this table under the column labelled "HDAPS axis orientation".
Shock Protection
Now that your hardware is reporting its shock detection to the OS, we need to do something with this data. This section describes software utilities to transform the sensor output into shock protection.
hdapsd monitors the output of the HDAPS joystick devices to determine if a shock is about to occur, then tells the kernel to park the disk heads.
Install hdapsd with pacman. Be sure to review
/etc/conf.d/hdapsd to ensure that it is protecting the correct hard drive.
When using systemd all you need to to is to enable and start the hdapsd daemon.
# systemctl enable hdapsd # systemctl start hdapsd
GUI Utilities
Utilities exist to monitor hdapsd's status so you know what is going on while you are using your laptop. These are entirely optional, but very handy.
This is a GNOME panel applet (Note: XFCE can use GNOME panel applets) that represents the current status of your hard drive. There is already a PKGBUILD in AUR (see here). If you do not want to monitor sda or hda by default, edit the PKGBUILD before compiling.
A KDE version exists as well. khdapsmonitor in AUR (This project was abandoned and it is for KDE3). For KDE4 there is a version of plasmoid for HDAPS monitoring HDAPS applet. HDAPS-Monitor plasmoid is available in AUR.
xfce4-hdaps applet
This is a Xfce4 panel applet that can represents the current status of your hard drive. Available in AUR. After install, add this applet to a panel.
thinkhdaps A standalone GTK applet
A standalone GTK applet for HDAPS disk protection status. While running will show applet icon in the notification area. Available in AUR.
Simple OpenGL application showing the 3D animation of your Thinkpad. Similar to the apllication Lenovo distributes with Windows. hdaps-gl is available in AUR.

5 WAYS TO | Dry shampoo
1 | Oscar Blandi has a powder, non-aerosol version that smells of fresh lemons. The powder ingredient is rice starch instead of the traditional talc so it's finer, doesn't cake on the scalp and is better for you. Rub a bit between your fingers, rub your fingers through your roots and you're set.
2 | Psssssst! is a throwback from the 70s. An original and it's back in circulation, being sold in pocket-sized containers at checkout in drugstores in the US. We can't guarantee an ingredient list as crunchy and wholesome as some of the others on the list but if you're in a pinch, it'll do the trick.
3 | Batiste is probably the cheapest of the lot along with the resuscitated Psssssst! brand. Works a treat in an aerosol can and reminds most women of younger days. They've recently created a colour dry shampoo range that would give Bb dry shampoo a run for its money. I loved the brown one although it smelled a bit like the Ojon dry shampoo (which smells way too much like Thierry Mugler's strangler of a scent, Angel).
4 | Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo is aerosol like Bb and Batiste but feels lighter than both. It leaves your hair softer and a bit less matte than the others. Good if you're not looking for a ton of volume (which dry shampoos handsomely provide).
5 | Lulu Organics has an ingredient list that reads like a shopping list for a baking experiment. It's pretty straight forward and, as the brand implies, organic. You could probably eat it if you wanted to: organic corn starch, white clay, baking soda, organic rice powder, organic horsetail powder, organic essential oils. And it's talc free.
Others we use: Bb dry shampoo can be good if you want to brighten up your hair or hide roots because of the coloured powder. However, don't wear it if you're going to be sweating or you'll have streaks down your forehead.

Patagonia Inc., a leading designer of core outdoor, surf and sport-related apparel, equipment, footwear and accessories, formally announces today the newest member of its surf ambassador team – Ramon Navarro.
"Ramon embodies the values we strive to promote," says Jason McCaffrey, Patagonia's Director of Surf. "He's a straight-shooter that walks the talk and his commitment to the protection of the Chilean coast is unwavering."
Navarro grew up in the seaside town of Pichilemu, Chile. His father is an artisan fisherman and free diver who taught Ramon a deep respect for the ocean. He began surfing at age 13 and has gone on to become one of the world's most respected big-wave surfers. He made it to the finals of the prestigious Eddie Aikau in 2008-2009, finishing on the podium in 5th place and winning the event's Monster Drop award. He was runner up for the XXL Ride of the Year in 2010, 2nd at the 2011 Punta de Lobos, and is currently nominated for Barrel of the Year for an incredible ride this past summer in Fiji.
"He is without a doubt one of the best big wave surfers on the planet," says big-wave surfer Ian Walsh, "The way he was reading waves and surfing them on that huge swell this summer in Fiji was really inspiring to watch."
"Ramon is one of my favorite surfers to share a big wave session with," says 2011 Monster Paddle-In Winner Shane Dorian. "He's so quiet, humble and friendly, but when there is a bomb coming in and its go-time, he puts his head down and charges with the best of 'em."
"He knows the ocean as well as anybody and has an innate talent for getting the best waves of the session," says Ramon's big-water mentor and fellow Patagonia surf ambassador, Kohl Christensen, "and more importantly, he cares about his country, his family and friends, and about his environment. He has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know." Kohl and Ramon will be working hand-in-hand with Fletcher Chouinard of FCD Surfboards to refine and develop surfboards for big waves.
Apart from his success in big wave surfing, Patagonia was drawn to him by his environmental commitment. "Ramon fits right into the Patagonia familia", says Chris Evans, Patagonia's Latin America Director. "He's a world-class but unassuming athlete that also stands up against pulp mill pollution and sewage pipelines. And when an 8.8 earthquake rocked Chile in 2010 Ramon led an inspired relief effort for those hardest hit." As further testament to his pioneering spirit and big-wave prowess beyond Chile's giant surf, National Geographic has nominated Ramon as one of the top ten 2013 Adventurers of the Year.
Here's Ramon on what some claim as one of the best barrels ever, anywhere – at Cloudbreak in Fiji in 2012:

WASHINGTON — Battling a potent insurgency and waning support in Washington, Afghan President Hamid Karzai will meet President Obama on Friday amid signs that the White House seeks to transform the ground war in Afghanistan into a conflict similar to the current covert war in Pakistan.
The Obama administration has maintained pressure on Islamist militants who operate in Pakistan's lawless border areas through the use of targeted drone strikes against individuals and small gatherings, vast infusions of military and financial aid to the government in Islamabad, and a mostly hidden U.S. military and CIA presence.
Obama is likely to follow that light-footprint model in Afghanistan after most or all U.S. troops withdraw by the end of 2014, according to officials familiar with current White House thinking. The evolving plans suggest a sharp shift from policy debates last year, when the administration seemed determined to work with Afghan security forces to lock in territorial gains made by U.S. troops.
The final size and capabilities of the U.S. force that stays behind have not been determined, but the developing plans envision that Afghanistan's armed forces will receive little or no American air and artillery support during combat operations against insurgents, and minimal military or police training except by private contractors, the officials said.

Boulder's 100-Year FloodResidents of Jamestown are partnering with The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County on a fundraising effort to help repair infrastructure and rebuild the flood-ravaged community.
Flood-related resources:
How to help victims of the flood
Complete coverage:
Donations dedicated to rebuilding Jamestown, about 14 miles northwest of Boulder, are now being accepted at www.RebuildJamestownCO.org or on the Community Foundation donation page, http://bit.ly/15SLaiV.
A "Rebuild Jamestown" Facebook page has also been established.
Jamestown Mayor Tara Schoedinger issued a statement Thursday outlining the community's deep needs above and beyond what state and federal agencies will be able to provide.
"Jamestown is a historic, close-knit mountain community in an idyllic mountain setting. We have unique and immediate needs at this time after the flood and must completely rebuild our town infrastructure: water, sewer, roads and the fire station," Schoedinger wrote. "The citizens of Jamestown need your help in this time of tragedy."
Jamestown, which operates on an annual budget of $56,000, was left inaccessible after flooding washed out roads and all bridges into town. A significant number of homes were destroyed, and many more were damaged. The town's water treatment plant was left inoperable.
One town resident -- former Jamestown Mercantile owner Joey Howlett, 72 -- was killed when his home collapsed.

Labor - And A Whole Lot More
The Plight Of The Pregnant Worker
Dina Bakst of the Work and Family Legal Center reminds us of an important
fact that few people seem to realize – – that getting pregnant can cause a woman to lose her job,
despite the laws banning employment discrimination against women and the disabled.Bakst asked, in a recent New
York Times column, that we imagine a woman who, seven months pregnant, was fired from her job as a cashier because she needed
a few extra bathroom breaks.That actually happened. So did the firing of a pregnant worker from her retail
job after she gave her supervisors a doctor's note asking that she not be required to do any heavy lifting or climbing
of ladders during the month- and- a-half before she went on maternity leave.A federal judge ruled in that case
that firing the woman was fair because her employers were not legally obligated to accommodate her needs. A peculiar interpretation
of the law, no? If that wasn't illegal discrimination, then what is?Bakst said that sort of thing happens
regularly to pregnant workers. But why? Bakst blames it on a gap between anti-discrimination and disability laws.It's true enough that state and federal laws specifically ban discrimination against pregnant workers, and that those
laws include the Americans With Disabilities Act. That law requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to
disabled employees, including, those with medical complications stemming from pregnancy.But there's a catch––
a big catch. Since pregnancy itself is not considered a disability, employers are not required to accommodate most pregnant
workers in any way – – not in any way whatsoever.The result, said Bakst, is that "thousands
of pregnant women are pushed out of jobs that they are perfectly capable of performing – put on unpaid leave or simply
fired –when they request an accommodation to help maintain a healthy pregnancy."Many of the women
involved are single mothers or a family's main breadwinner. And a high number of them are low-income women, many in physically
demanding jobs.A couple of New York legislators have come up with bills that would greatly lessen the problems
facing pregnant workers in their state, and hopefully set a pattern for enactment of similar laws elsewhere. Lord knows, they're
badly needed.The proposed New York law would require employers to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant
women whose health care providers say they need them – – unless that would be an undue hardship
for the employer.A few states have enacted laws requiring private employers to provide at least some accommodations
such as providing a seat for employees who must spend long periods standing, allowing more frequent restroom breaks, limiting
heavy lifting, or transferring pregnant employees to less strenuous or less hazardous jobs.Bakst said those laws
"have been used countless times to help pregnant women keep their jobs."Bakst, and no doubt others,
see such laws as a public health necessity. Which they certainly are. Without such protections, pregnant workers fear
asking for the accommodations they need for their own health and that of their unborn children, lest they be fired for asking.
Bakst also pointed out that "women who can work longer into their pregnancies often qualify for longer periods
of leave following child birth, which facilitates breastfeeding, bonding with and caring for a new child and a smoother and
healthier recovery from childbirth."Women who are forced early into unpaid maternity leaves lose pay, of
course, and possibly lose chances for promotions that may be available during the period they are off work. It's even
worse for pregnant workers who are simply fired. They not only lose pay, but they also have a tough time finding new jobs
in today's weak economy.There are some important pluses for employers who provide accommodations for pregnant
employees. Less turnover, for instance, and greater worker loyalty and productivity. What's more, Bakst noted, "With
minor job modifications, a woman might be able to work up until the delivery of her child and return to work fairly soon after
giving birth."That would save her employer the time and cost of finding a replacement. There's this,
too: "Employers could be responsible for much higher medical costs if their workers were afraid to ask for accommodations
and instead continued doing work that endangered their pregnancies."This is hardly a minor matter. Three-fourths
of the women now entering the workforce will become pregnant on the job. None of them – not a one – should
have to face the blatant discrimination that's now commonly faced by pregnant workers.Copyright © 2012

How do the Mariners' prospects fit Seattle's needs?
This series is designed to evaluate the role prospects play in each Major League organization, looking at the short- and long-term needs of each club and illustrating how prospects fit in both scenarios.

This series is designed to evaluate the role prospects play in each Major League organization, looking at the short- and long-term needs of each club and illustrating how prospects fit in both scenarios.
Here's my look at the Mariners.
Short-term needs
Seattle took the biggest free agent off the board this winter with the signing of Robinson Cano. Other free agents will add to the roster of players designed to score more runs and win more games. A nice mix of veterans and prospects should bode well for the club's future.
Right-hander Taijuan Walker is a flame-throwing 6-foot-4, 210-pound 2010 first-round Draft pick. The big, athletic Walker got a taste of life in the big leagues when he pitched for Seattle over three 2013 starts. He threw 15 innings with an ERA of 3.60 and a WHIP of 1.00 on his way to a 1-0 record.
PROJECTED '16 MARINERS LINEUPProjecting the Mariners' 2016 lineup based on the players in their system.
|Mike Zunino
|Justin Smoak
|Robinson Cano
|Kyle Seager
|Brad Miller
|Dustin Ackley
|Michael Saunders
|Corey Hart
|Logan Morrison
|Felix Hernandez
|Hisashi Iwakuma
|Taijuan Walker
|James Paxton
|Erasmo Ramirez
|Fernando Rodney
Walker's fastball is in the 93-98 mph rage, with late life. His slider is a solid secondary weapon. Walker can dominate a game when his command is in check. A strikeout pitcher, he can hold his velocity and get stronger as he goes along. Walker has the upside of an ace.
Like Walker, James Paxton realized some big league time last season, throwing 24 innings in four starts. He threw to an ERA of 1.50 with a WHIP of 0.91 and a 3-0 record. Paxton's fastball can sit at 95 unless he tries to ratchet it up a notch. His fastball/curveball combination is outstanding. Like Walker, Paxton must command those pitches to find success. Paxton, 25, is 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds.
Long-term needs
Left-handed pitcher Danny Hultzen was the second player taken overall in the 2011 Draft. His promising career has been sidetracked by rotator cuff and labrum surgery.
When healthy, Hultzen throws a low-90s fastball and a wicked slider, among a four-pitch mix. He is as crafty as he is dominating. At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Hultzen can confuse hitters, and the ball is often difficult to pick up out of his hand. He uses his height to his advantage, pitching as much downhill as possible. Hultzen's command escapes him upon occasion, but he usually returns to form quickly.
It will be interesting to see the new version of Hultzen once his rehab is complete. He is very tough on left-handed hitters.
Chris Taylor is among many Mariners middle-infield prospects. I was impressed with the way Taylor handled both his offense and defense in this past Arizona Fall League. He is a disciplined hitter and knows how to accept a walk.
At 6-foot, 170 pounds, Taylor is athletic and quick. He doesn't have much power, but he does bring basestealing speed to his game. Taylor uses the entire field very well. Last season, he swiped 38 bags between Class A Advanced High Desert (20) and Double-A Jackson (18).
Right-handed-hitting corner infielder D.J. Peterson was a first-round selection in the 2013 Draft. At 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, he is an excellent hitter with quick hands through the ball. Peterson should be able to hit for average, as well as generate power. He makes things look easy, making good contact with an uncomplicated swing.
Right-handed-hitting catcher Tyler Marlette has the perfect frame for a catcher. He's 5-foot-11, 195 pounds. Marlette came to the Mariners in the 2011 Draft and has hit at every level at which he has played. In fact, he has a career .284 average in parts of three seasons. Marlette's short, compact swing generates good contact, but he still needs work on his defense.
Austin Wilson is 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, and he should be roaming the outfield in a couple more years. His mechanics need a bit of refinement, but there is no doubt about his power potential. Wilson runs well and has the tools to play any outfield position.
Left-handed pitcher Luiz Gohara was signed out of Brazil in 2012. In his first season at Rookie-level Pulaski, he started six games and threw to an ERA of 4.15 in 21 2/3 innings. Using a fastball that currently sits at 93 mph, Gohara could see his velocity ratchet up with continued maturation. He still has work to do on his secondary pitches, but he is a top-notch pitching prospect -- though a barking shoulder may become an issue in the future.
Edwin Diaz and Victor Sanchez represent the more distant future regarded right-handed pitchers. Diaz has pitched two seasons in the Mariners' system, and he has compiled a 7-3 record and a stellar 2.23 ERA in 14 starts and eight relief appearances. In Sanchez's two seasons, he has a 12-8 record in 35 starts. His ERA is also excellent, at 2.95.

A planning application has been submitted to Camden Council for the 30,000 sq ft 8-storey development which comprises 22 one, two and three bedroom apartments. The development will sit above the Fisher Street shaft - a single storey structure in Holborn that provides ventilation and access to the below ground Crossrail tunnels.
The scheme has been designed by architects HOK and is located between the conservation areas of Bloomsbury and Kingsway, bordering an eight storey Grade II listed building on Southampton Row. The scheme has been designed in consultation with the London Borough of Camden and English Heritage. Its striking architecture has been carefully designed to ensure the upper levels are set back, leaving space between the new development and the existing listed building. The plans will incorporate the ground floor Crossrail shaft while creating a unique exterior that offers different views of the building from each angle.
The Fisher Street scheme is the latest over-site development submitted for planning consent by Crossrail. A total of 3 million square feet of office, retail and residential space is planned above new Crossrail stations and sites in London with planning consent secured for nearly 1 million sq ft of development so far. These developments will help create new business space, jobs and new homes for Londoners on top of the world-class new transport links Crossrail is delivering
Crossrail has entered into a number of Collaboration Agreements with existing landowners to deliver over-site developments. Once the planning process for the Fisher Street site has been completed, Crossrail will begin procuring a development partner for the Fisher Street scheme. Construction work on the Fisher Street shaft is already well underway and is expected to be completed in 2015.
Anthony Leslie, Head of Transportation at HOK's London office, said: "The Fisher Street development is testament to HOK's expertise at delivering challenging design briefs. The transportation team here at HOK were involved in some of the initial design work for the Crossrail shaft and ground level structure, so were well placed when it came to designing the over-site development and understanding the constraints of the site. We were able to combine the expertise of our transportation and residential teams, with our long term expertise in Building Information Modelling to deliver a unique and compelling development."

I've been reading through Zondervan's two recent books by Michael Horton (For Calvinism) and Roger Olson (Against Calvinism), apt spokesmen for their respective views on the doctrines of grace. Both authors eschew attempts to find that (illusory) middle ground between Calvinism and Arminianism and provide very helpful introductions to the issues at hand.
Olson ardently presses the question of how the God of Calvinism can be the one whom John characterizes as 'love' in his first epistle (1 Jn 4:8, 16). Under the doctrine of predestination, the real question for Olson is not so much whether God could be just in unconditionally electing some and reprobating others but whether God could be said to act in love in so doing: if God could just as easily have unconditionally elected more, or indeed all, fallen persons and effectually called them to salvation, how is he love in choosing not to do so? An Arminian account, Olson writes, with its doctrine of conditional election, is better-positioned to uphold God's 'reputation' at this point.
This is certainly a pointed question for Reformed soteriology – and theology proper – but one that might be put to the Arminian view as well. In explicating the Arminian approach to divine sovereignty, Olson writes,
[L]et it be clearly understood that those who appeal to divine self-limitation and passive permission as the explanation for sin and evil in the omnipotent, creator God's world, do not say that God never manipulates historical circumstances to bring about his will. What God never does is cause evil. God may and no doubt sometimes does bring about some event by placing people in circumstances where he knows what they will freely do because he needs them to do that for his plan to be fulfilled. Such seemed to be the case with Jesus' crucifixion. Even then, however, it was not that God tempted or manipulated individuals to sin. Rather, he knew what events, such as the triumphal entry, would result in the crucifixion (Against Calvinism, p. 99).

I have a complicated relationship with peanut butter. I find it a curious ingredient. Mr CC enjoys it on toast but I hate it like that; the gloopy, claggy texture and the way it coats your mouth. Not for me. However, baking with peanut butter is a different story – you lose the texture but retain all that lovely peanut flavour.
These biscuits are so easy to make – there isn't even any time consuming rolling out of dough, as you spoon the biscuit dough straight on to the baking sheet.
Using crunchy peanut butter adds texture and it's satisfying when you crunch into a piece of peanut. The biscuit dough has a nice crisp bite to it, just how I like my biscuits. They have to be able to withstand a dunk in a cup of tea.
When I saw the small amounts of ingredients I was tempted to double up the ingredients. Then I read that you should get 35 biscuits from the mix. I actually got only 17 (Mr CC can't waste his time with miniature biscuits) but it still goes to show how economical biscuits are to make. Imagine what it would cost to buy 17 artisan biscuits.
90g unsalted butter, at room temperature
150g soft brown sugar
4 heaped tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
1 egg
125g plain flour
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan oven 160˚C/350˚F/gas mark 4.
Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
Beat together the butter and sugar until it is whippy and paler – it will never get fluffy and pale with brown sugar but it will get fluffier and paler...it's all relative! Beat in the crunchy peanut butter
Beat in the egg.
Stir in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon and mix well.
Drop teaspoonfuls of the dough on the prepared baking sheets leaving space for the biscuits to spread as they cook – don't worry about pressing them down, they'll find their own level when they cook.
Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and firm to the touch.
Leave to cool, still on the tray, on a wire rack.
When the biscuits have cooled and firmed you can place them directly on the wire rack – if you do this when the biscuits are soft straight from the oven they will break.
Store in an airtight tin.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.
