Henceforth, it became my mission to fast-forward lingerie technology in the West. I figured the first step in this critical mission was to replicate some of the advancements made in Syria. The article of lingerie that resonated most with my inner sensibilities was the clap-off bra. I immediately resolved to make my own clap-off bra as a springboard into Western lingerie innovation.
On a quiet morning, two years ago, I first set out to make a clap off bra in order introduce it to a much more conservative Western audience. After a long arduous process, I am finally proud present to you a reliably working prototype.
As Seen on Kathie Lee on the Today Show and Hoda on the Tonight Show (27 minutes in).
(note: video mildly NSFW)
Step 1: How NOT to make a clap-off bra.
Before I make anything, I always look for existing devices that already exist that I can model my project after. I knew clap-off bras clearly already existed somewhere (Syria). So, I looked all over the internet for a clap-off bra so I could see how the Syrians made it work. Despite hours of searching, I couldn't find a single instance of one that wasn't poorly 'shopped in 4chan.
This lack of reference annoyed me, but by no means stopped me from my pursuit. My first though was to use a solenoid. This failed. It got too hot. I immediately wrote off all electromagnetic solutions as potential burn hazards. In retrospect, this was a horrible mistake.
My second thought was to build a tiny spring-loaded quick release mechanism. Of course, making a spring-loaded quick release mechanism is a lot easier to speculate about than actually build. This too ended in disaster. I took some time off from the project.
I then partnered with occasional collaborator Noah Weinstein. We discussed various possibilities for opening the bra and finally decided upon exploding the bra off. Unsurprising, the initial test demonstrated that an exploding button in the front of a bra was going to end in disaster. Yet, this did give us another idea.
We finally decided that we were going to get a large metal button, coat it in nitrocellulose and create a brief incendiary event that would burn the thread away. Hence, when the thread burns away, the button would fall off and the bra would open. Fortunately for whatever poor girl who was going to have to wear this, that approach did not work either. No matter what thread we used, we could never get it to fully incinerate and release the button. This disheartened us and the project was laid to rest yet again.
A year or so passed and I decided to try an idea that Noah and I discussed in passing, but never executed upon. The fourth iteration involved pulling the pin out of the center of a hinge, such that by removing the pin, the bra would separate. We initially didn't want to do this because it would involve using a large motor attached to the bra and this didn't seem very 'classy.' Nonetheless, I figured I would give it a go.
I went out and bought the smallest servo motor I could find and on the first attempt to pull out the pin with the motor, I tore the gears apart and the weak little servo was destroyed. As it turns out, pulling out a pin that runs vertically using lateral force is nearly impossible. Once again, I found myself in overly-complicated mechanical quick release territory. I consulted 'ridiculous clothing' expert Rachel McConnell and she surveyed the situation and surmised that my current approach was pretty hopeless. Normally I would just ignore the project for a few more months, but I was hell bent on just finishing the darned thing.
In talking to Rachel about my long list of failures, I recounted the one idea someone suggested to me early on that I had yet to try. Basically, this involved using a small electromagnet and a strong rare earth magnet and polarizing the electromagnet in such a way that it repels the rare earth magnet. Rachel supposed this would work and I supposed I would give it a try.
So, I went to Radioshack to get some magnet wire to wind an electromagnet. They didn't have any. I went to another they didn't have any either. I went to a third, and they too didn't have any. I headed back and had a moment of inspiration. An electromagnet is basically a coil with some metal in the middle. I just needed to find something with a coil. I tore apart my work station looking for a decent-sized coil of any sort, but to no avail. I finally turned to my office-mate - and all-around good guy - Paul Jehlen, and said to him, "Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any solenoids or big relays or anything with a coil in it?" He produced a defective 5V DPDT relay. This was perfect as it is essentially just an electromagnet that controls a switch.
I carefully cut open the DPDT relay, an exposed the coil. I stuck a rare earth magnet to the end and then powered it up and tried to repel it. This didn't work. The magnet was too strong and it would just reposition itself.
Out of sheer curiosity I checked to see how strong the magnet was with a screwdriver that I had lying around. To my amazement, the electromagnet had a fair amount of pull and was able to lift the screwdriver at 5V. I got to thinking, "I wonder what would happen if I gave the 5V coil a full 9V?" So, I did just this an discovered that the coil didn't heat up as much as I had expected it to and the magnet got significantly stronger. It was now apparent to me that the simple electromagnet inside of a relay powered at 9V was going to get the job done.
Now that we know a bunch of ways not to make one, it is time to actually go ahead and get the job done.
This is so funny! Thumbs up. Next build: the force feedback underwear *G*
I remember seeing something like this portrayed in some teen B-Movie made years ago.
lol - things do have a way of making it from the screen to reality. Even a clap off bra!
I Love this! - and can think of a new B-Movie and some not so "B" that the plot surrounds this little jewel.
Now I think I'll take this idea and make the clap off Bikini!
That should liven up the beaches here in Florida once again.
thanx for posting this - it turned my day to the postive as I'll be smiling all day as i look at a woman and think of this invention of yours and adapting it to bikini's as i walk theboardwalk at the beach.
;0) definitly a favorite instuctable.
again thanx
- chase -
ProTip: bikini with disolvable stitches
Lol, amazing.
I'm not sure what to think about this, i can think of loads of instances where the clap off bra would be impractical, concerts, birthdays, watching TV and loads more where people are clapping a lot!
Hola amig@s de Instructables, gracias a este post en mi web modifique el proyecto para hacer una lampara que se activa con sonido, espero que les guste.
Gracias Clap-Off Bra
Interesting concept. The gears in my brain are turning for other applications this could work with. How about a Pet Door that unlocks when the dog barks to go outside. Hmmm.. I assume it works with any sudden loud noise?
How strong is the magnetic draw? Would a rare earth magnet provide a stronger hold?
PS - Danica looks a lot like someone I dated many years ago. Ahhh, Memories ;-)
Quite. Quite Awesome.
putting that aside, hope i can give a suggestion. not that im good at electronics. actually the pulling of the pin using lateral forces is possible. it merely needs a machine that changes the direction of forces. i present to you the.... pulley!!!
string is horizontal, then it passes the pulley and change direction by 90 degrees.
Just add a bit more cloth below(or above) the hinges to cover the pulley and string. Also would need to take into account ways to put the contraption back together. So maybe dont cover the whole thing. hope it works because with a good gear ratio, you probably could pull it off with a very small DC motor which uses very little voltage. Thinking about durability, the need to washing etc, i guess maybe a bent tube would suffice. the string may get off the pulley tracks right?
Maybe I'll get it a go :)
In any case it would be easy to add a arm/disarm switch. Or make it only activate on a knock code.
and when we download the arduino sketch, the filename is vastly different from the filename shown in your instructable... Has it been hacked or what?
I've got one: Since the attachment point should be under a fair amount of tension before release, consider the mechanism used to release malfunctioning parachutes in emergency conditions. It's called a "3 Ring Release" and uses lever action to reduce the force necessary to release the mechanism.
It also has possibilities for the trigger on a trebuchet.
Imagine my surprise and amusement when I discovered you weren't!
Adding the BBC article was especially appreciated, btw.
But, from the perspective of a wearer such as myself, I gotta say that it would be 1. functionally insufficient and 2. pretty darn uncomfortable. Why? Well, support largely comes from the band, and your mechanism sort of takes over the band, haha. Though I do like the placement of the USB cable - it's like a quirky ribbon trimming, if you will.
As for comfort, I would think it's self-evident: some people don't even like tags on their clothing, much less batteries taped to their undergarments. Unfortunately, this little number would have to stay permanently in the bedroom "toy box" - wearing it to go out and then revealing the surprise immediately when you get home would be a no go. I have no idea how these could be resolved (although there is that circuit thread stuff, right?), and I'm sure you've considered these factors, but I figured I'd bring it up to add something from the female POV.
Anyway, thumbs up, man.
Picture it.
A romantic candle lit dinner. Your wearing your best new tech undies that saved your life before in a freak bra caught in photocopier accident.
You go to the theatre. He looks amazing. The curtain goes down and everyone breaks into applause. A standing ovation.
As your bra flies out of your dress. Clapped off.
Funny as that situation sounds, it would probably never be a problem to consider (at least not with this prototype). Support largely comes from the band, especially for strapless bras, and this one's band is rather bulky - thus defeating its functional purpose.
But if wearing for funsies, who cares about support?!

"What Can I Expect With My New BlackBerry" With the newly implemented Blackberry Enterprise Server (aka BES), "select" Blackberry handheld users may now use their device to obtain 24x7 access to campus email, instant messaging, and calendaring. Your device must first be BES enabled to support these features. Before we enable your device there are a few things that you should know that will make your transition easier and increase your productivity. Will I have the entire Le Moyne College (GroupWise) address book on my device? The GroupWise Address book will NOT be loaded onto your device. The GroupWise address book will be searched wirelessly on the server and the results will be returned to your device for you to choose from. You can add them to your personal address book but once a search is done it will retain that name for the next time. Can I proxy or have more than one email account on my device? Your device can only access to your personal GroupWise mail and your GroupWise Personal Address Book. The device cannot proxy to other e-mail accounts nor shared address books as the desktop GroupWise client can. You're Blackberry isn't GroupWise just a window into a portion of GroupWise. Can I have access to Shared Folders? You cannot access shared folders from your device Will I have complete folder history on my device? Messages in existing folders in GroupWise WILL NOT transfer over to your BB. The folder structure will transfer but all folders will be empty. Any new messages that you move to folders will be seen. What if I have "rules" setup in my GW client to move messages to folders? Any rules that you have in the GroupWise client will need to be noted and passed along to IT so that we can modify your profile. Once that is done you will see any future messages that are placed via a rule into a folder on your device. There is also a way that YOU can modify this profile from the device as well for future rules. We will provide that below. Can I use GroupWise Instant Messenger on my device? Yes. The BES has a direct interface with GroupWise Instant Messenger. All you need to do is logon with your ID and password and all of your Le Moyne contacts will show up on your device just as they would on the desktop. You can IM them just as you would if you were on your PC. It will also save your conversations for future reference. Note that GroupWise IM only allows you to connect one device at a time. When you connect to IM on your device it will automatically disconnect IM on your PC. When you connect to IM on your PC it will disconnect you from IM on your device. You and your contacts will be seen as offline, online, busy, away as you do on the desktop. How do I prevent phone call logs from appearing in my messages? To stop phone call logs from showing in the Messages list, complete the following steps: On the BlackBerry device, select the Phone or Call Log application. Display the menu and select Options > Call Logging. Change Show These Call Log Types In Message list to None. Exit the menu and select Save.

In each student room there is a telecommunications jack box which contains connections for telephone, network (orange colored jacks), and cable TV. After locating the box, connect your coax/cable TV jumper cable from the cable TV jack directly to the coax/cable TV connection on the back of the television. Your TV should be cable ready and the TV remote is present. Most TV sets rely on the remote for the setup/menu features which are not readily available on the front TV panel. After connecting your TV, make sure you enter the TV's setup menu and select the broadcast feature as "cable". You then need to set "auto select" for your TV to begin selecting and locking in the available channels. These programming features should be performed every time the TV is unplugged from the power source. (e.g. School breaks-when residence halls are vacated) How Can I Connect My VCR or Game Device? In each student room there is a telecommunications jack box which contains connections for telephone, network (orange colored jacks), and cable TV. After locating the box, connect your coax/cable TV jumper cable from the cable TV jack directly to the coax/cable TV connection on the back of the television. If you have a VCR or game device to connect, first connect a coaxial jumper from the wall plate to the input connector on your VCR/game module. Next connect the second coaxial jumper from the output connector on your VCR/game module to your television. Refer to the VCR/game module owner's manual for further instructions and problem resolution. Can We Connect Multiple TV's in Our Room? Before bringing a TV and/or VCR to campus, we strongly suggest you talk to your roommates to determine their plans. Although you may connect a cable TV splitter, multiple TVs in the same room may lead to crowded conditions. Connecting multiple devices to the one cable TV jack, along with VCR's and games, may also cause low signal strength or distortion which will result in poor picture quality. What Cable Channels Can Students Receive? Le Moyne College operates and maintains its own cable TV system in conjunction with Time Warner Cable. Basic cable TV is provided to each resident room for the student's enjoyment and entertainment. In addition to a basic channel line-up provided by Time Warner Cable, a modified channel line up consisting of two Le Moyne College channels is available for campus viewing. Le Moyne's channel line up consists of The Events Channel which is used to announce and display current Le Moyne College activities and events and a Program Channel which provides free access to educational and entertainment programs, including recently released movies. This audio portion of the Events Channel is streamed from Le Moyne's own FM radio station, WLMU. One Cable TV jack is available in each resident room for students to connect a TV for their private viewing. TV's are also available in the lounges within the residence halls for community viewing. Student wishing to obtain additional cable TV services, such as digital cable, DVD, Video On Demand, premium channels, and pay per view channels may contact Time Warner Cable at 315-634-6000 or online at www.twcny.com. Time Warner has special package promotion for Le Moyne College residents. What Do I Need to Bring for Cable Service? A cable ready TV with remote, set up instructions and a long (12 -15 ft.) coax cable to connect between the jack and the TV set. A long cable is essential to allow freedom to move the TV set throughout the room. The coax cable must of good quality (shielded if possible), free of defects, which good end connectors. Poor quality cables (even when purchased new) have been attributed to poor picture quality and distortion. Cable ready TV instructions are important since you may need to re-program the TV through the menu setup. Previous setup features may have been lost when the TV was unplugged from its original power source. Students may also prefer to bring VCR's, DVD's, and/or game stations to add to their TV. Again, good quality coax or patch cords are essential along with setup documentation. It is not recommended that all these devices be connected at once, since they may cause signal loss in the provide cable TV service which could lead to poor picture quality. Please note, the Telecommunications Office strives to provide quality cable TV service to the jack located in the room. Responsibility for proper connection of cables, TV's, VCR's, DVD's and game stations, including the programming of these devices to insure adequate picture quality is relied upon by the students. Lastly, it is strongly encouraged for any electrical device (TV devices, stereos, computers, etc.) that the student provides and utilizes a power strip with a well rated surge protector. Does the College Provide Help on What Computer to Purchase? Le Moyne College recommends that students and employees consider purchasing a computer from Dell for use during their tenure at the College. Students choosing to buy a computer from Dell will receive up to an additional 10% discount off of the regular educational discounts offered through Dell's Education Site. All of the systems offered by Dell meet or exceed the computer specifications recommended by the College. Should I Save My Work On My Computer's Hard Drive? The short answer is no, as there is no way to back up this data. In other words, if your hard drive fails, all the data you have stored there will be unrecoverable. All users have their own personal storage space on the network called the H drive (or Home Directory). This is space for you alone and no one else has access to it. Each user has an initial allocation of 100MB of space. That space can be increased upon request. Many of the new Dell PCs have the My Documents folder already set to save to the H drive. Your H drive is truly the best means of maintaining the safety of your data. Can I use other e-mail programs to access my Gmail account?

Gmail's Mail Fetcher can download messages on a recurring basis from up to five other email accounts, centralizing all your email in Gmail. To find out how to use Mail Fetcher: Mail Fetcher IMPORTANT information about how Mail Fetcher works: Gmail checks individual accounts for new messages at different rates, depending on previous mail fetch attempts. At this time you can't customize the frequency of automatic mail fetches. Delivery of fetched messages may occur up to an hour after a successful fetch attempt. The View history window on your Accounts tab will display the last five attempts to fetch mail from your other email accounts, but it won't show the time when those messages reached Gmail. If you see a recent fetch attempt but can't yet see the messages that were retrieved, please check again in a few minutes. If the account from which Gmail is fetching mail doesn't receive mail at frequent intervals, Gmail will check for new messages less often. You can always force Gmail to check for new messages by following the steps below: Sign in to Gmail. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page, and open the Accounts tab. In the Get mail from other accounts: section, click Check mail now. What is my Le Moyne email address on the new Le Moyne Mail?

Le Moyne's Gmail service is powered by Google, and it functions similarly to a regular Gmail account. The Google interface is simpler, more efficient, and more intuitive. It is faster than our current e-mail and offers more storage space: Each account will have up to 7500 MB worth of storage. Gmail automatically groups e-mail and its replies into a conversation, so you can easily follow the back and forth of an e-mail exchange. Plus, you'll get access to the full range of Google apps, including a word processor, spreadsheet program, a calendar and an online chat function. Will there be a problem if I already have a Gmail account using my Le Moyne user name? No this will not be a problem. All Gmail accounts end with @gmail.com. All Le Moyne accounts will end with @lemoyne.edu, @stu.lemoyne.edu, or @alumni.lemoyne.edu. Note that if you access all of your gmail (both personal and Le Moyne) from the same browser interface, you may need to delete your existing gmail cookies and clear the browser cache to be able to access the correct account. I am not able to get my email on my Blackberry using POP or IMAP. Is it possible to do this? Yes!

How is GWguardian a "more effective" tool to manage spam? Guardian quarantines spam rather than tagging resulting in significantly fewer unwanted messages in your inbox. Quarantined messages are held on the Guardian server for an administratively defined number of days (currently 15) and accessible by the intended recipient via a web interface. GroupWise and NetMail users may access the quarantine web site to view, release or delete suspected SPAM. Guardian issues periodic HTML e-mail reports (currently daily) to GW or NetMail users for whom it has quarantined messages. These reports list all messages held in an e-mail recipients quarantine, the reason that each message is in the quarantine, and the number of days until each message is purged. Additionally, the reports allow for one click release or delete of quarantined messages without requiring the e-mail recipient to login to Guardian Web. Guardian allows each GroupWise and NetMail user to define personal anti-spam preferences. These preferences include establishing trusted and blocked e-mail address lists and selecting how aggressively Guardian identifies spam destined for the user's account. Several other preferences are available but are currently locked by Le Moyne to ensure the best overall e-mail security for the entire environment. Guardian fully complies with current internet standards for tracking messages as they transit between mail systems and mediates between systems with limited or partial support of current standards (GroupWise and NetMail). As a result, a GroupWise user who requests delivery status notification will obtain notification when messages are delivered to a NetMail user. While this feature does not guarantee notification when a message has been opened and read, it does provide the sender with a means to determine when mail has been delivered. What if I do nothing with the quarantined message(s)? If you do not manage your quarantined messages they will be deleted from the system in 14 days and will NOT be able to be retrieved. How do I manage my quarantined message(s)? There are two options for managing your quarantined message: An e-mail message received daily in your inbox.

Option 2. If you have reviewed all messages in the list and wish to delete them all click the link at the bottom of the e-mail "Delete All Spam". This will delete all spam at the time of the report; it will NOT delete any new message received since the time of the report. How do I use the GWguardian web interface to manage e-mail message(s)? You will need to log into the web interface with you e-mail address and Novell password. Click on the message(s) that you would like to release(receive in your mailbox) Click on the "Release" button. To delete the remaining message(s) click on the message(s) and click the "Delete/Undelete" button. Click the "Purge Deleted" button. Note: You can click on multiple messages by holding down the "Ctrl" key and clicking on the message(s). What if I manage other e-mail accounts? Each user/e-mail address will receive an e-mail in there inbox daily from "Postmaster" with the subject "Quarantine Report". What happens to my e-mail received after I receive the quarantine report? The quarantine report is generated daily at 4am. Any e-mail received after that time is scanned if it is NOT spam it is automatically released and delivered to your mailbox and if it is reported as possible spam it will remain in quarantine until you manually release it, or you can wait until the next daily quarantine report.

There has been no change to the attachments that are being blocked from the former anti-spam product Can I change forbidden attachments? No, attachment blocking is maintained at the system level. Can I change anti-spam settings? No, this has been set by the system administrator to provide the highest level of protection. What does the attachment blocking levels mean? Disabled: Does not block any attachments. Normal: A setting level that blocks most frequently used attachments used for malicious activity. Examples of these are *.BAT,*.COM,*.CMD,*.EXE,*.SCR. Strong: A setting that blocks attachments with an increased level of blocking and including the normal level of attachment blocking.

These reports list all messages held in an e-mail recipient's quarantine, the reason that each message is held, and the number of days until each message is purged. Additionally, the reports allow for one-click release or delete of quarantined messages without requiring the e-mail recipient to login to Guardian Web. What is e-mail quarantine? An e-mail quarantine is a "holding" place for an e-mail that has been identified as meeting one of the criteria for a message containing either spam, virus or blocked attachment. Why do we now quarantine rather than tag e-mail? Quarantining spam rather than tagging it will result in significantly fewer unwanted messages in your inbox. What does "delete all spam" really mean? "Delete all spam" only deletes those messages identified as spam at the time of the quarantine report. What do I do if I am expecting a message that could possibly get marked as spam? You can check for new/current message(s) by going to the GW Guardian web interface by clicking on http://gwgweb.lemoyne.edu/quarantine. What do I do if I have multiple quarantine reports? If you have multiple quarantine reports, you should use the most current report or go to the Guardian web interface to manage your e-mail. Will any configuration changes be required for third-party mail clients? Yes, beginning August 5, 2005, all GroupWise and NetMail, IMAP and POP3 users must use their full e-mail address as the user name for sending outbound email.

To remove a contact from your contact list, "right click" on the contact and select "Remove". The contact will be removed from your list. Setting up Groups in Pidgin You can use groups in Pidgin to organize your buddies. There is no limit to the number of groups that you can create. To add a group in Pidgin: From the menu bar, select "Buddies" and "Add Group" (Note: Since the group is new and has no buddies in it, it will not appear in your list of groups). As soon as you add a buddy to the new group it will show in your contacts list. If you want empty groups to be visible, from the menu bar, select "Buddies" and "Show". Each of the 5 selections in this menu will toggle the respective item on an off (i.e. If there is a checkbox next to empty groups, groups without any buddies in them WILL be visible You can move buddies from one group to another simply by clicking and holding on the buddy that you wish to move, dragging the buddy to the appropriate group and then releasing the click. IM'ing Your Contacts Once you have added contacts to your contact list, you can send instant messages (IM) to those contacts. The easiest way to send a message to a contact is to double click on that contact's entry in your contact list. In the message window that opens, start typing. You may have more than one conversation going on at the same time. Each new conversation will open up in a new "Tab" in the Conversation window. How do I contact the HelpDesk via Instant Messenger (IM)? HelpDesk IM Beginning on 2/25/08 The Information Technology HelpDesk will begin monitoring Instant Messaging (IM) as an additional support tool during our normal hours of operation. Which IM Clients will be monitored? For Faculty Staff and Administrators on campus: using the Groupwise Messenger client (and/or Pidgin) IM'ing "helpdesk" will put you in direct contact with a member of the HelpDesk team. See the FAQ on Groupwise Messenger or Pidgin for assistance in installing and using these clients. For Students and Employees (from Off-campus): Using AOL Instant Messenger, IM'ing "lemoynehd" will put you in direct contact with a member of the HelpDesk team. In the future we may begin monitoring additional IM clients such as Hotmail, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo Chat, Google Talk and others, depending on demand. What are the hours of operation that IM will be monitored? IM will be monitored during normal hours of operation for the HelpDesk: Monday - Thursday: 8:30 am - 10:00 pm Fridays: 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Saturdays: 9:00 am - 12:00 noon Sundays: 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm Can I Reset My Password Using GroupWise WebAccess? You can reset your password using the GroupWise WebAccess interface. Click on the Options (middle) button on the top of the GroupWise WebAccess screen Enter your old password (the one provided) Enter your new password twice Click Save Please note that you will need to use this new password when you next log into Novell, Groupwise, Echo, or WebAdvisor. You cannot change your password using NetMail. Please use the Password Management utility on Echo instead. Can I Reset My Password Using NetMail? No, you cannot reset your password using NetMail. If you want to change your password, please use the Echo Password Management utility. Alumni trying to reset their password for the Online Community can follow the "Forgot Password?" link on the community site to obtain a new password. How Do I Change My Password for the Alumni Online Community If you have forgotten your password to access the Le Moyne College Alumni Online Community, just click on the "Forgot Password?" link on the login page and follow the instructions. Why did I get a notice my password is expiring? Effective immediately, Le Moyne is introducing several new password management features to the Echo portal: Password Reset Password Expiration Notification Grace Login Notification The password reset feature replaces IUadmin but will similarly allow a student, faculty, or staff member to change their own "OneID" password rather than relying upon a call to the helpdesk. (Current OneID enabled systems include Novell, Echo, GroupWise, WebAdvisor, and AccessLMC.) The reset features relies upon your establishing two question/response combinations that will be used to identify you should you request to reset your password. You will be required to set these question/response combinations the next time that you attempt to access Echo. The password expiration notification is a simple warning that your password is about to expire and that you should change it. If your password is set to expire within 15 days, upon login, Echo will direct you to the password change screen and notify you that your password is about to expire. The grace login notification is a warning that your password has expired, that you are using a "grace login," and that you need to immediately change your password. If your password has expired and you are using a grace login, Echo will direct you to the password change screen, notify you that your password has already expired, and notify you that you should change your password immediately. Can I Reset/Change My Own Password? You will need to take the following steps to set up this feature on Echo: http://www.lemoyne.edu/information_technology/content/faq_add.asp Log into Echo Click on the Password Management link under "Campus Tools" Click on "Reset Your Own Password" Type in your username (without the context) Click "Next" Click on your full username Click "Setup" Enter your current password Enter 2 questions and answers that will identify you in the future Click "Save" Once this is complete, when you need to reset your password: Log into Echo and select "Password Management" Enter your username Click "Next" Click on your full username Answer the first question, click "Next" Answer the second question, click "Next" Enter your new password, click "Submit" At this point you will see a message that says "Password Reset Successful" The password will apply to Novell, GroupWise Email, and Echo. What Is Wrong with My Old WebAdvisor Password? In an ongoing effort to move to a single password environment, your WebAdvisor password is now the same as your Novell password. How Many Complimentary Prints Do I Receive Each Semester? Starting on August 30, 2004, there will be a charge for printing at Le Moyne College. In most cases, printing will cost three cents per page. You will receive 450 free pages per semester. What if I Need to Print More Than 450 pages? Go right ahead and print your materials. You will be billed for any printing over the free allotment. The bill will be part of the college's normal billing process. In the future, we hope to be able to offer additional payment options. Print Conservation printing fee is $0.03 per page. This charge is consistent with all printing on campus. If you are taking a class that requires heavy printing, your professor may submit a request for additional pages to be added to your allotment. How Do I Know How Many Pages I Have Printed Each Semester? You can check how many pages you have printed through the Print Conservation report on Echo, generated specifically for your printing use. Just log into Echo, then visit My Information > Printer Usage. Can I Appeal Print Charges? You can dispute any print charges to your account by on the "Printer Usage" page on Echo. Any disputes will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Approved disputes will result in a credit being issued to your print allocation. What is Print Conservation? The name says it all - the college has a critical need to reduce unnecessary printing. There will be a charge for each page printed after the first 450 pages per semester. Are there specific printers I need to use? All College-owned networked printers are part of the Print Conservation program. Do I have to pay for all my printing? Each student will be given 450 pages of free printing each semester. Why such a small quota? The quota was based on the average number of pages printed by students during the 2003-2004 academic year. What if I need to print more then 450 pages? Go right ahead and print your materials. You will be billed for any printing over the free alottment. The bill will be part of the college's normal billing process. In the future, we hope to be able to offer additional payment options. What will the extra pages cost? Print Conservation printing fee is $0.03 per page. This charge is consistent with all printing on campus. I need to print a lot of material required for my class? For those classes where a larger than "normal" printing requirement is anticipated, faculty can request an additional print credit on a class by class basis. This same practice will also hold for those students with special academic needs. Are there provisions for college work studies? For faculty and staff who have work study students or interns working for them, individual print extensions can be granted by contacting Bill Thieke (email@example.com, X4599) and provide the student's name, email address and the amount of printing credit requested. How do I know how many pages I have printed each semester? <p>You can check how many pages you have printed through the Print Conservation report on Echo, generated specifically for your printing use. Just log into Echo, then visit My Information > Printer Usage.</p> Is the College profiting from the new print system? NO. Expenses for printing far exceed our budget. The only goal of the new Print Conservation system is to bring the College's printing back in balance. Will I still be charged if I make a mistake? Yes - you will be charged for all printing. Preview your work by using Print Preview before sending your work to the printer. This will help you check your work and make sure there are no problems. You can appeal a charge and request a credit through the Echo Printer Usage detail screen. What do I do if the printer doesn't work? Notify the Information Technology Help Desk. If the pages didn't print or you experienced a technical problem, let us know and we'll look into your concern and get in touch with you. Can I appeal a print job? Print jobs can be appealed by signing into Echo, going to the "My Information" menu, then clicking on the "Print Usage" link and finally clicking on the job number in the far left column. There is an on-line appeal form at the bottom of the screen. How is my print count determined? Printing is automatically calculated based on your network login. Do not let others use your computer after you have logged in. Always log-off when you are finished with your work. How can I get my Library research results without having to pay for them? You have the option to email any information to yourself. You can also save information onto your home directory (H:/ drive) Is there anything I can do to give myself a more print-friendly format? If printing an article from a database, you usually get more text per page when printing a page in PDF format over HTML. You will usually have LESS pages to print with PDF. Should I buy my own printer? Is it cheaper? Basically, it depends. It may be worthwhile for some students to purchase their own printers. (A $100 inkjet printer produces pages at about $0.07 per page). Can we print double-sided for a discount? We currently do not offer duplex printing, but we are considering it for the future. Why don't you offer duplex printing? We have been reluctant to add duplex printing at Le Moyne College for a few reasons. First, the additional duplex unit on a printer introduces a fairly complex new paper path which has potential for jams and other mechanical failure. This could result in extra downtime and inconvenience to our users, and repair hassles for our staff. On the cost issue, the savings on paper would be offset somewhat by the increase in maintenance cost. Also, the cost of the toner on the page greatly exceeds the cost of the paper itself (for example, on our previous generation of printers, the toner cost was more than twice the paper cost per printed sheet). So, duplex printing would reduce wasted paper and save trees, but only slightly reduce the cost of the printed document. Where Can I Get Anti-Virus Software? McAfee anti-virus software is available to Le Moyne College residential students and can be downloaded for free by logging into Echo and following the link on the "My Information" menu. Non-residential students, as well as faculty and staff looking for protection for their home computers, should select the "Virus Protection" link from the Echo Toolbox and follow the download instructions.

When you head off to school, you don't need to tell everyone you have type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes), but some key people need to know: health services, of course, and also your roommate, the resident assistant (RA), and a few close friends. A medical ID is also very important in case of emergencies.
Below is a sample letter to a new college roommate, provided by a JDRF volunteer whose daughter has type 1 diabetes. It can also be adapted for the RA.
Dear Roommate:
I am letting you and a few other people around me know that I have type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes). Please understand that I do not want or need to be treated differently because of my diabetes, but there are some things I'd like you to know about the condition.
Usually my type 1 diabetes is under control, but sometimes my blood sugar gets too low or too high, which can endanger my health. To keep that from happening, I have to do certain things, like test my blood sugar and (wear an insulin pump/give myself insulin shots). It may help you to understand if I first tell you a little about diabetes.
First of all, please know that type 1 diabetes is not contagious. When a person eats a meal, the food is broken down into different substances, is absorbed, and enters the bloodstream. One of these substances is glucose, a sugar. The body cannot function without glucose. In turn, the body cannot use glucose without insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. My pancreas, like that of other people with type 1 diabetes, doesn't produce insulin, so I have to take insulin shots every day. It's mainly insulin, exercise, food, and stress that cause my blood sugar to go up or down.
I do not expect you to have to take care of me, but I do sometimes have low blood sugars or insulin reactions, which might confuse or scare you if you don't understand what's happening. During a reaction, for no apparent reason, you may notice any of these symptoms coming on suddenly:
- confusion
- moodiness
- irritability
- incoherence
- shakiness
- glassy stare
I usually know when my sugar is getting low and can avoid a reaction, but not always. If the low blood sugar persists too long, I may seem sleepy and withdrawn. At these times, I need to drink a sugared drink or eat something from my "low blood sugar food stash" right away. I may not be able to get it myself, so I would appreciate your help, even if I resist. If you don't feel comfortable with that, please call the RA or health services to help me.
Once I have some sugar, I should seem much better within 10-15 minutes. If not, try giving me more food and call one of my contacts listed below.
Low blood sugar can be life threatening to me, so my food stash is like my "medicine" and needs to be kept separate from the food we can share.
Finally–and hopefully this will never happen–if you ever find me unconscious, anytime, including after partying, or if I am sleeping longer than usual and you cannot wake me, I am probably in serious danger. Please call 911.
If you feel uncomfortable about being around the shots and finger pricks, or keeping an eye open for emergencies, I'm happy to talk with you about it. My type 1 diabetes is totally familiar to me but I realize it may take a little time and experience for you to adjust. Believe it or not, in spite of all the challenges that come with diabetes, I am able to lead a pretty "normal" everyday life. Most people won't even know that I have diabetes unless I tell them.
I'm sure you have lots of questions, so let's set a time to talk.
List of contacts to call in case of a low blood sugar reaction:
