You can catch me every weekday morning tracking your weather from 4:30am to 9am on the FOX19 Morning News.
I joined the FOX19 team in August of 2007. In September of 2010, my co-host Tracey Johnson and I launched the FOX19 News Morning Xtra at 9am. So at 8:30am everyday I take off my weather hat and put on my news anchor / co-host hat.
When I tell people I wake up at 2:45am in order to be on the air by 4:30am they often ask me, am I crazy? However, I am a morning person I want make sure that our community knows what to expect before stepping out the front door. The only bad thing is that I often have to call it a early night. I currently call Covington home, after spending my first 2 years in town, living in Mt. Adams. I love our cities park system and variety of fantastic restaurants. I am a bit of a "food snob" and when I find a place I like I never forget it, my waist line is starting to show it to!!!
I am a member of National Weather Association and I have earned the Seal of Approval by the American Meteorological Society.
Before coming to FOX19 I spent almost 7 years working at WFMJ the NBC station in Youngstown, Ohio. I was the weekday morning and noon weather forecaster. While in Youngstown we were honored with the Ohio Associated Press Award for Outstanding Weather Operation two years in a row. I also spent a year forecasting for WTAP the NBC station in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Actually I just realized my entire career has taken place in cities that basically lay on Ohio's borders. While in college I also worked behind the camera at stations in Huntington, West Virginia and Cleveland.
I graduated from Youngstown State University and I have completed course work in meteorology from Mississippi State University.
I come from an Italian family and I have two younger brothers so I guess that makes me the responsible older brother. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio so I will not have a Browns vs. Bengals conversation, so I will just say I am a Ohio State fan!!! I do love our Reds though!!
I am involved with Cincinnati's charitable organizations from working with the American Heart Association, our yearly Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics, and recently became involved with A Kid Again. I am also a big supporter of local food banks efforts to help feed those who need an extra hand. I also enjoy educating school kids about the weather.. If you have a weather question or just want to say hi please feel free to stop me on the street or drop me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks for making FOX19 your choice for local news, weather, and sports.

The Beatles' first audition tape, made for Decca Records on Jan. 1, 1962, has long had a special place in the lore of pop music. Not because it led to a contract for the Fab Four, but because a label executive turned the band down flat, supposedly telling the group's manager, Brian Epstein, that "guitar groups are on their way out" and that the Beatles themselves "have no future in show business."
Next week an auction house in London that specializes in pop memorabilia plans to sell what it says is a first-generation copy of that tape, containing 10 of the 15 songs that the Beatles are known to have played that day. The whereabouts of the recording for the last 50 years are not clear and even a cursory examination of what's being auctioned raises questions about its authenticity, but the owner of the tape is said by the auction house, called the Fame Bureau, to have set the minimum bid at about $30,000.
For Beatles fans the tape is a curiosity, and not just because Pete Best, the band's original drummer, plays, rather than his eventual replacement, Ringo Starr. At the insistence of Epstein the band performed not only hard-charging up-tempo rockers like Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee" and "Money (That's What I Want)," the Barrett Strong hit, but also easy-going pop standards like "Besame Mucho" and even "The Sheik of Araby."
Copies of the tape have long been available both in bootleg vinyl versions and on the Internet, with sound quality varying from excellent to awful. But this version is said to be a backup to the master tape, thus providing audio of a "quality we have never heard," Ted Owen of the Fame Bureau told Reuters.
But photographs made available by the auction house include a reference to a Dolby test tone, a noise-reduction technology that did not exist in 1962. In addition, the photographs show a matrix number, BSR-1111-A and B, that suggests a possible connection to a 1982 gray-market vinyl release by Backstage Records, which was promoted by Mr. Best, and there is also a mention on the supposed master recording of the Silver Beatles, a name the group did not use at the time it auditioned for Decca. Mr. Owen could not be immediately reached for comment.
Even if the tape is authentic a commercial release seems unlikely, since the Beatles and their heirs still own the copyright. With the exception of monaural versions of five songs that were included as novelties on Volume 1 of the mid-1990s "Beatles Anthology," they have shown little interest in seeing the recording marketed.
Despite Decca's blunder, the tape led indirectly to good things both for the Beatles and the label. A few months later a copy of the tape found its way to EMI's Parlophone label and caught the attention of the producer George Martin, who saw its potential, advocated for signing the band and would go on to collaborate with the Beatles on most of their greatest recordings. And Decca, chastened by what is regarded as the biggest blunder in pop music history, didn't make the same mistake twice: when a band called the Rolling Stones auditioned they were quickly signed to a contract.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The first widespread snowstorm of the season is crawling across the Midwest.
The storm has dumped a foot of snow in parts of Iowa and more than 19 inches in Wisconsin's state capital.
Whiteout conditions are stranding holiday travelers and sending drivers sliding over slick roads.
Iowa state police say drivers on Interstate 35 got into a 25-vehicle chain collision about 60 miles north of Des Moines today. Two people were killed and seven injured.
The storm has made travel difficult from Kansas to Wisconsin, forcing road closures, including a 120-mile stretch of Interstate 35. Sections of Interstate 80 in Nebraska and Interstate 29 in Missouri that had been closed were reopened Thursday afternoon. Iowa and Wisconsin have activated National Guard troops to help rescue stranded drivers.
Airlines have delayed and canceled hundreds of flights out of Chicago's two major airports and are monitoring the storm throughout the night to determine if more cancellations will be necessary on Friday.
story from 4:30 a.m. Thursday, 12/20/12BARBARA RODRIGUEZAssociated PressDES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The first major snowstorm to hit the Midwest this season is sweeping across the region, shuttering schools and creating dangerous driving conditions.Forecasters are warning that heavy snowfall coupled with strong winds will create blizzard conditions Thursday from Kansas to Wisconsin.The weather is also threatening to cause delays at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, the nation's second-busiest airport, ahead of the busy holiday weekend.Nebraska's largest school district canceled classes because of heavy overnight snow, as did many districts across Iowa, where drivers are being told to stay off the roads because of whiteout conditions.The heaviest snow is expected across a swath extending from northwest Missouri into Milwaukee, Chicago and Michigan.

The only reason why I didn't choose the Dom is because I liked the diamond tail and stepdown rails of the SF. Also, i felt it will make my transition from longboarding to shortboarding a little easier. I looked at Hellfire and it has great dimensions but I don't think I'm at that level yet. Mahalo!

The first $50 million generated from "121212: The Concert For Sandy Relief" concert and telethon is ready for distribution to victims of Superstorm Sandy. (John Minchillo / Associated Press / December 18, 2012) |
The clearinghouse for the money raised from last week's "121212: The Concert for Sandy Relief" concert and telethon has announced it is ready to distribute the first $50 million to various organizations aiding victims of the superstorm that devastated large sections of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut in late October.
"The money raised to date is going right to hundreds of organizations in the tri-state area serving those who need it most," David Saltzman, executive director of Robin Hood Foundation, said in a statement issued Wednesday. "Robin Hood has already begun granting the funds for Sandy relief. We are continuing to raise funds through various ongoing sales opportunities and donations and we urge people to continue to contribute."
Money has been raised through sales of tickets to the concert featuring the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and other pop heavyweights, as well as from sponsorships, telephone and Web donations and merchandise.
More funds have been raised from online auctions of memorabilia and download sales of the concert's music on iTunes, DVD and CD sales. The "121212" album reached No. 1 on iTunes as a pre-order from those among the potential global audience of 2 billion people who reportedly had access to the event through television, radio, satellite, Internet streaming and other outlets. Money continues to be raised through the event's official website, www.121212concert.org.
"Every single penny from ticket purchases and donations will go to organizations serving the victims of Hurricane Sandy," the statement said. "The Robin Hood Relief Fund provides money, material and know-how to local organizations that are serving families and individuals in the regions hardest hit by the storm."
A total figure for the amount of money generated by "121212" to date has not been made public. Event producers, in the statement released Wednesday, called the show "the largest concert event to ever hit the stage at Madison Square Garden," adding that "We are forever grateful to the unlimited generosity that was shown to the people of the tri-state area from around the world.
"Through the collective efforts of the participating artists, celebrities, corporate partners and sponsors, we will be able to make a meaningful difference for so many of our neighbors who were affected across the tri-state area," the statement continued. "We thank everyone who made the event a resounding success."

One of the toughest charges Senator Scott Brown leveled against Elizabeth Warren in Thursday's debate targeted her work for Travelers Insurance in a case involving asbestos victims. Brown said Warren, who has built her reputation as a consumer advocate, helped a major insurance company deny payment to asbestos-poisoning victims.
Brown's facts were largely true, but the impression he left was somewhat misleading.
Everyone in law whether civil or criminal deserves a defense. Some well known progressives work on cases of disreputible clients and in criminal law some clients are guilty.
In civil litigation against huge compnaies if they had no defense our entire system would collapse!
Warren WILL work for the 99% END OF STORY. It's what she will do now that counts!
She had an understandable rationale for how her Travelers work would ultimately benefit victims. She should just say that this was a learning experience - she got to see how corps can take advantage of people and even their own lawyers. She didn't make that much money for the work considering it was over 3 years and she is a national expert on bankruptcy at Harvard Law school. Plus, let's talk about the Consumer Financial Protection Agency she conceived, designed, lobbied for and got started with Obama! If you want a real data point on how committed she is to protecting regular people, that's the big pizza pie staring you in the eye! Brown keeps scraping the barrel for proof that she isn't what she really is - no Native America heritage, not really fighting for you, etc etc. It's all sooo lame.
It's interesting that the Globe article cites a prior Globe article as the definitive authority on the case. That's like saying belive me because I say so. Anyway, if Warren was trying to help the victims, but it turned out disastrously for them.........why do I want her representing me? I don't want to become another one of Warren's victims!!! Warren says that Brown only cares about the 2% group....if that's so, then why does another article in today's Globe say that Mayor Menino believes Brown to be an incredible retail politician with a real ability to connect with everyday people. Can you really see Warren as someone that can connect with everyday people? C'mon
Connecting with everyday people is important for getting elected. When it comes to trusting public policy decisions to a candidate, you should be picking someone that is on the right side of those policy debates. Tax cuts for the rich, more deregulation, and cutting important public services is not going to solve any of our problems. We need jobs bills. He votes against them and she will vote for them. Who cares if Travelers tricked their lawyers?
If you can't connect with the everyday people that you're being elected to represent, then how can you do a good job representing them? I don't think that the professor can connect with everyday people. What jobs bills are you talking about that she'll vote for that he won't.....maybe you could help me there? As for the tax cuts, everyone benefited from them. Why is it a good thing for a smaller and smaller group of people to pay for more and more of the cost of our government? If all of these programs are so great, well then let's pay for them now and not starting in 2016. As for more regulation, why don't you ask the 16,000 employees that Bank of America is about to layoff how well that's working for them? As for where we are going to make cuts in spending, what does the good professor have to say? Don't we already have her role covered with John Kerry?

The American Medical Association, World Health Organization, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN are just a few reputable organizations who speak to the safety and desirability of approved biotech crops. However, one of the biggest challenges is simply getting consumers accurate information. The coverage of Arctic apples provides an example of this and there a few myths/concerns that there are simple explanations for:
Myth #1: Arctic apples are unsafe/untested
Arctic apples have been studied in field trials in Washington and New York State for over ten years and are one of the most researched and tested foods on the planet. The data demonstrates Arctic apples are just like any other apples until they are cut, bitten, or bruised and don't brown. They contain no new proteins and are just as safe and healthful as other apples.
Myth #2: Since Arctic apples don't brown, consumers can't tell if they are old/damaged
Far from hiding when fruit is old or damaged, Arctic apples actually make it easier to tell when an apple has gone "bad". Superficial damage that does not affect the quality of the fruit, such as minor finger bruising, won't show. Arctic fruit looks fresh unless there is significant damage and then the apple probably shouldn't be eaten. Enzymatic browning is quite different from the rotting that comes with decay, so Arctic fruit will decompose just the same as other apples.
Myth #3: Arctic apple will cross-pollinate with other orchards
This concern is addressed at length on the Arctic apple website. In summary, a) apple trees are not "weedy" so don't spread on their own, b) bees stay very close to the hive when food is present, c) stewardship standards will further reduce this already low risk and d) in the unlikely scenario cross-pollination were to occur, only some of the resulting plant's seeds would contain any Arctic material.
Myth #4: Arctic apples won't be labeled
Fresh market Arctic apples will be clearly labeled as "Arctic" fruit and processed foods containing more than 5% Arctic apples will be identified as well. This is completely voluntary as OSF believes the transparency and choice it offers consumers is of great value.
While the first USDA public comment period is now over, a second one, this time for 30 days, will turn the spotlight on OSF again in the near future. From there, approval is expected in early 2013, at which time Arctic apples can be produced commercially.
In the meantime, Okanagan Specialty Fruits wishes to extend their appreciation to everyone who took the time to learn about Arctic apples and submitted thoughtful comments to the USDA. OSF has always emphasized the importance of transparency and open communication, whether through website, blog, social media, or even by responding to direct questions.
Whatever your personal thoughts on agriculture biotechnology, the more the debate is based on transparency and communication rather than emotion and fear, the better off all involved will be.

When you are a fashionista Shih tzu, you grow up wearing outfit after outfit. While you may not actually like putting on the outfit, and sometimes you might run and hide when your mama comes towards you with a new dress, you eventually succumb and just put up with it. And you end up forgetting the outfit is on, playing and chasing the cat as you normally do.
Heres what the closet of this fashionista looks like! Lots of colors! And yes, my wardrobe takes over half a closet!
Here is the newest...
Snuggled Up in Mama's Coat for a Car Ride
from Gracie Lu Shih Tzu
on Saturday February 2nd, 2013 at 11:55 PM
This weekend, Mama and I went home to my grandparents house in Nashville, TN. Its about a five hour car ride, and it was freezing outside. Even wearing a cute pink raincoat did not shield me from the 15 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I was shaking and shaking as I got into the cold car. So mama cranked up the heat and wrapped me up in her gray coat, hoping it would heat me up and keep me warm.
My poor paws just arent used to such cold weather. If I would wear shoes, she would make me wear doggie...
Are You Watching the Puppy Bowl Tomorrow?

Mom and I arent huge sports fans. Mostly, because mom is a girl and a very girlie one at that. (Which is why, you will notice that many of my outfits are pink or a variation of pink.) So, it shouldnt surprise you that we do not watch the Super Bowl. Ever.
This is how I feel when I watch sports. Very sleepy. And fluffy, but mostly pretty sleepy.
And this is how I am when we are watching the Puppy Bowl. Excited with my two front teeth showing!

IE10 mobile/touch :hover navigation problem
Being a happy owner of a new Windows Phone 8 device I stumbled upon a major issue with mobile IE10. Namely, and more precisely, the problem lies with how IE10 handles :hover events with touch input.
All other mobile browser do the same - tap once to activate the :hover event, tap second time to interact with the :hover. This works nice, apart from the little iOS issue of not being able to close a :hover other than clicking some link, however that is not how IE10 works. IE10 treats :hovers like in desktop, mouse based environment - you cannot activate :hover and keep it in that state to interact with it further. That means that any navigational elements that rely on showing you additional options on :hover won't work with touch operated IE10.
My question is - is there any elegant solution to make the :hover work like in all other mobile, touch operated browsers? Tap to active the :hover event and keep it up until another action is taken by the user?
I'd like to be able to provide navigation for touch IE10 without re-doing whole nav components of the page to address this issue.
In general, just totally avoid core functionality that is only shown on :hover.
In mobile webkit you are right, if the element has a :hover (but no href) it will stay in it's :hover state after you tap it once.
Also, modenizr has a test for touch events, so you could write specific event handlers for that stuff.
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm afraid I will end up JavaScripting this (just like fixing oh so many other issues for IE sigh) just like you're suggesting.
I do like the :hover dropdowns very much though since they are so elegant and compact, simple markup and CSS. I know I shouldn't use :hover for interactions where touch interfaces are concerned, however that was not an issue if those events were tied to button-like page elements, so users knew there is some action behind them.
Unfortunately this 'broken' behaviour of IE10 is not limited to Windows Phone, it is also present on tablet/desktop when using touch interface instead of mouse and keyboard. While it may be correct as far as standards are concerned, it is certainly not what we are used to and not how every other browser works with touch.
[Edit] I probably should have mentioned that we work with very script-heavy pages so we tend to avoid introducing additional scripts whenever possible. One of the reasons we went with CSS only dropdown.
Hey Ixolite,
I see your point. As a mobile user, I figured how to overcome this issue. Usually if you touch or tap the :hoverable element, it will be treated as a click. So I touch+drag away from the element, so that it get focused which is a :hover event and will show the dropdown menu. Hope this help you in navigating on mobile devices although its not a fix ;)

- Procter & Gamble Co. said Friday, April 27 its third-quarter net income slipped 16 percent as price increases and an uptick in revenue did not offset high costs for raw material and others related to a restructuring, AP reported.
The world's largest consumer product company also reduced its 2012 guidance due to volume declines in several markets where price increases caused the company to lose market share. Its stock slipped nearly 3 percent in premarket trading.
Consumer product companies across the board have been raising prices to deal with higher costs for materials like pulp, fuel and packaging. The results for P&G, which has an arsenal of products that include Tide detergent and Olay skin cream, illustrate that even big companies that sell trusted brands can lose customers to lower-priced rivals when they raise prices.
P&G said it is rolling back prices in six categories: Powdered laundry detergent in the U.S., Mexico and U.K., as well as North American oral care, dish care and blades and razors. Still, most prices increases have stuck. While the company gained $3.3 billion in revenue through the increases, the rollbacks are worth about $100 million to $200 million, the company said in a call with reporters.
The company said net income fell 16 percent to $2.41 billion, or 82 cents per share during the January to March quarter. That compares with $2.87 billion, or 96 cents per share last year.
Results were impacted by a restructuring plan by P&G that involves cutting 5,700 jobs and saving $10 billion by the end of the fiscal year ending 2016. Excluding costs related to a cost-cutting plan, net income was 94 cents per share, a penny higher than analysts expected according to a FactSet poll. Revenue rose 2 percent to $20.19 billion. Analysts expected $20.35 billion.
One bright spot during the quarter was P&G's North American laundry business. Its new Tide pods single-dose laundry detergent, which P&G estimates has captured 67 percent on the unit-dose market in one month. P&G hopes the pods will eventually account for 30 percent of the U.S. laundry business.

Lol... This forum is pretty useless. Not sure why I bother.
Why is it so important to you that others believe the same as you do?Before, when you considered yourself a Christian, you claimed to have all the answers, and claimed to know more about religion than everyone else.Now that you are an atheist, or whatever it is you claim to be now, you claim to have all the answers, and claim to more more about religion than everyone else.I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.Oh, by the way, I think this time you finally picked a name here that suits you Xerxes.
You're not getting it... If I knew it all before then why did I change my beliefs? I am willing to change my beliefs if someone has a better argument in favor of theirs.All you did there was display your ability to use an Ad Hominem, which exposes your ground of faulty logic. Until you can learn how to add something to a discussion that's on topic, without posting a mere insult, you're merely a troll.
Jesus is invisible but he's more important than others we can see...
Truth hurts. Reality hurts. I think my last post was powerfully true.If you survived cancer then I'd say you're lucky. I was at my Mom's bedside four months ago as she gasped for breath and died. She was still so young. Endometrial cancer spread throughout her body.She had hundreds of people praying for her, in the name of Jesus, and no healing. The cancers people make it through are ones humans can treat and catch in time. There are no healings in the name of Jesus. And what a terrible thought to think God would heal some while others sincerely draw upon him to be made better and aren't. That's as bad as a god provided from rebellious Hebrews for 40 years, with bread from heaven, but won't feed the thousands of children being prayed for in the name of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.I remember right before my Mom died, she hoped for a miracle, and she was so sincere about it. She was a Christian, and I didn't say much to her to cause her to doubt, because I felt her faith may help her in that time of need. The sick and dying are not the ones to take faith from, as it takes time to readjust through a crisis of faith. One will adapt and do just fine without their former erroneous beliefs, but it takes time. One ought to lose faith in erroneous beliefs in a time of health.I used to believe people could be healed in the name of Jesus. I remember I once had a wisdom tooth that came and cracked. It got infected and it hurt BAD. I got desperate and in faith, I used the name of Jesus, and very sincerely. Guess what happened? Nothing. I can hear the voices around the world: In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus! Over and over... Nothing happens.No doubt, one can find comfort in the name of Jesus. When they struggle they can lean on that character, as one who suffered and understands and who will be with them through their struggles, but the name of Jesus isn't healing people. Jesus can be a powerful symbol of the purest and most virtuous spirit within nature, but hey, so can the Buddha, Krisha, etc. The virtue radiates in nature through good and compassionate people, apart from even hearing of this legendary Jesus or Buddha.Anyways, If I had cancer I'd be getting chemotherapy, because the name of Jesus just wouldn't work. Isn't it strange how back pain, stomach ulcers, headaches, and such things are healed by God, but nothing that can be proven medically. No growing back of limbs for amputees, no bread from heaven upon a starving Africa, no healing for the Schizophrenic with a gun to his head.Damn... Reality does hurt. But it's easier if you accept and surrender to what really is.
I pity you, Xerxes. You are one sick individual.
Have you ever considered that it is the will of Jesus for us to use chemotherapy
If you are so adamant that you should only take faith away from only "healthy" people, have you ever considered that your words on this forum may be read by someone who is suffering a life-threatening illness? I doubt that your words can shake a Christian's faith, but why take that chance?Have you ever considered? ? ? ? ?No. That's the very definition of one who is INCONSIDERATE.
The truth hurts, huh?

I run a Linux basic hosting and I want a dedicated IP inorder to install a private SSL. I was checking some options like "Upgrades and Options" and I can not find the way how to purchase a dedicated IP. I just see: additional domains, upgrade your hosting plan, or add a search engine, but nothing regarding "dedicated IPs".
After that, I'll need to get the SSL. I found a page with a table of them, but same. HOW could I purchase a RapidSSL from MyHosting? Or tin this case it will appear like an option in the control panel?
I prefer to buy from MyHosting because I assume that under their control, all set up wuold be easier just because they are promoting those products. If I buy an IP and a SSL from other company, I will do a lot of contacts with MyHosting regarding some technical info, maybe incompatibilities arises up, and finally waste of time.
Any idea? suggestion? Or should I just contact them by email to make a purchase?
Thx a lot.

I have heard Spaniards singing
"Oe oe oe oe oe, ... oeee, ... oeee"
in soccer and other sports.
Where does this expression come from? Is it a Spanish expression?
I have heard Spaniards singing in soccer and other sports. Where does this expression come from? Is it a Spanish expression? |
A simple search on Google for "Olé, Olé, Olé, football chant" or "olé spanish meaning" should lead you to this: Update Here are some aclarations to make: 1. Its "Olé" and not "Oe" as some may claimFrom the same wikipedia page: Olé, Olé, Olé (The Name of the Game) Link to the original song: -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0GmxnlXv3s 2. Context of the chantTop of the World (Olé, Olé, Olé) 3. Open ears!!!Quote by comments on this question: Well, the truth is that if you watch both videos using big speaker to amplify the sound you can hear clearly people using chanting Olé, Olé, Olé..., there is also some drunks as well as some others that don't know the full chant, and you can recognize them simply because their chant sounds more like "Oé, oé, Oé...." That alone don't means that the chant is "Oé, oé, Oé...." or that there are two chants. I know that for some, search in Google it's incredibly hard and confusing, so here is a direct link to the reference on wikipidia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olé,_Olé,_Olé |
I don't know the etymology of it, but I'm pretty sure it's "olé", not "oe". Olé is an interjection that is very typical of the bullfighting. (Well, not that I know anything about bullfighting, but to me "olé" definitely evokes that and other cliches about Spain) As a side note, there's a sports newspaper in Argentina called "Olé". |

So I recently got a proper Thinkpad and I was wondering how to interface with the accelerometer to obtain data from it. First of all, I had a look around and it seems the ADXL320 is used in most models, it's a Low Power, 3-Axis ±5 g MEMS Accelerometer manufactured by Analog Devices.
There are, at least on Windows, two possible interfaces. One is through a device manager, the other is directly through a DLL exposed by Lenovo.
I had yet another look around and found a few snippets in C# by Ben Suter. Decided to port the code and give it a go, instead of looking any further. Despite the fact that I had already exported the function names of the DLL (using my good ol' dllspyr) I just couldn't bother looking any further. I had to add the z value, since it was originally ignored. Perhaps because previously a mere 2 axis tilt sensor was used?
The other method involves getting a handle of "ShockMgr" with createFile(); setting up by DeviceIoControl(); and then reading through the data. This makes it easier to validate if the "service" is available, because the DLL could be exposed but non functional, for example.
Da codez:
Here's the preliminary test code, implementing a crude alarm system:
Structure ACCDATA status.i x.w y.w z.w EndStructure Structure SHOCKSTATUS status.i EndStructure Enumeration #SHOCKSTATUS_RUNNING #SHOCKSTATUS_STOPPED #SHOCKSTATUS_AUTOIGNORE #SHOCKSTATUS_UNDEFINED EndEnumeration Prototype.i pShockproofGetAccelerometerData( *AccData.ACCDATA ) Prototype.i pShockproofGetShockStatus( *ShockStatus.SHOCKSTATUS ) If OpenLibrary(0, "Sensor.dll") ShockproofGetAccelerometerData.pShockproofGetAccelerometerData = GetFunction(0, "ShockproofGetAccelerometerData") ShockproofGetShockStatus.pShockproofGetShockStatus = GetFunction(0, "ShockproofGetShockStatus") Define.ACCDATA old_data, new_data ShockproofGetAccelerometerData( old_data ) Define.i triggered = #False Repeat Delay(200) ShockproofGetAccelerometerData( new_data ) If Not CompareMemory( old_data, new_data, SizeOf(ACCDATA) ) Or triggered triggered = #True Beep_(1000, 1000) EndIf ForEver CloseLibrary(0) EndIf |
The status code is interpreted by another function, which I'm not using at the moment but the author had guessed the threshold values and addressed a name for each, from the known possible states exposed by Lenovo.
Procedure.i convertStatusCode( statusCode.i ) If statusCode >= 0 And statusCode < = 4 ProcedureReturn #SHOCKSTATUS_RUNNING ElseIf statusCode = 8 Or statusCode = 9 ProcedureReturn #SHOCKSTATUS_STOPPED ElseIf statusCode = 13 ProcedureReturn #SHOCKSTATUS_AUTOIGNORE Else ProcedureReturn #SHOCKSTATUS_UNDEFINED EndIf EndProcedure |
What now?
I'm going to clean up the code and start making use of this feature, I mean, why not?
As for a proper alarm, you'd have to manage the mute and volume settings plus instead of comparing against the baseline values you'd have to implement a threshold. I'm aware that they've issued an application that does exactly this, but I'm not a fan of big resident bloatware — plus where's the fun in that?
Anyway, that's all for now!

I hope you didn't do what I did. I tried to PM a member yesterday and didn't know until I clicked on "send" that the member couldn't receive messages yet. Not sure because I didn't check it out but I think a member has to have a certain amount of posts before they can send or receive Private messages?
Hopefully a technical support person will come and help you.
