How do I wire up a relay to control a DPDT button, I'm trying to bypass the actual button press and control it via software.Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. It makes sense, and thats what I had thought. Is there a way I can bypass the button with out a relay?, maybe just two output pins that are both high?
I just reread our dialogue, I think there might be some confusion. The relay isn't DPDT; just the button is. Does this change anything?


text: The hype around Sunday night's Chiefs game in Denver could not be higher. It will stay that way in two weeks when they face each other at Arrowhead. Both games have been flexed into different time slots, which proves the expectations for TV ratings. A 9-0 team versus an 8-1 team obviously deserves the attention it's getting, especially after last year's two-win season for the Chiefs. The Chiefs' turnaround is quite a tale, but this one won't have the happiest ending. Kansas City fans are using the "we get no respect" card, but there is a reason for the lack of respect. The Chiefs have faced four backup quarterbacks in the last five games, and all of them passed for more yards that Alex Smith in each game. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Case Keenum, Jason Campbell and Jeff Tuel averaged 260 yards against the highly rated Kansas City defense. What will a quarterback averaging 361 yards per game do? Of course, Peyton Manning could have an issue with the Chiefs' pass rush. Justin Houston and Tamba Hali have combined for 20 sacks. Dontari Poe and Derrick Johnson have their fair share of quarterback takedowns. They have combined for eight this season. But it isn't easy getting to Manning in time. He is able to get the ball out quick when he expects pressure. The most Manning has been sacked is four times in a loss at Indianapolis. He hasn't been sacked more than twice in a game since going down three times in a season opening win against the Ravens. The issue for Kansas City may not be the defensive line's ability to get to Manning, but getting to him before he finds an open receiver. The Chiefs' secondary will be more important than the line play. If the defensive backs can cover the Denver receivers tight and physical, then the defensive line will have more time to take Manning down. But no team has been able to do this consistently. The other argument for the Chiefs is the lack of defense for the Broncos, but it isn't as bad as it is perceived. The Broncos have allowed fewer than 24 points in six of their nine games, which is good enough with the offense they have. The Kansas City offense actually has fewer yards than its defense has allowed. Earlier I mentioned that Smith hasn't out performed a number of backup quarterbacks. But the Chiefs are a running team with Jamaal Charles right? Not exactly. Smith has attempted 60 more passes than the Chiefs have rushing attempts. Charles has 170 carries for 725 yards. That averages to about 19 carries for 80.5 yards per game. That just isn't enough of a workload for a playmaker like Charles. Smith isn't going to out play Manning, so why not let Charles keep Manning on the sideline? The Chiefs will have to put together a much different game plan for Sunday night to have a chance in Denver. The eyes of millions of Americans will be on the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos on Sunday. Will the Chiefs gain or lose respect? There will be no better way to prove how good you are than taking down Manning and the Broncos in Denver, but the Chiefs will have to prove themselves again when the Broncos visit Arrowhead.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MizKathiJo from Love this Pin! Would be good if it included a 1/8" option, but I'm SO HAPPY that it contains a 3/8" measurement - required for my shortbread cookies. Highly recommend!Date published: 2018-12-10Rated 4 out of 5 by bcardmaker from Great idea want different measurements! I love this rolling pin. It works great! I wish they offered optional disks to buy that had different measurements! Please come out with these!Date published: 2017-12-06Rated 1 out of 5 by SonomaDave from USELESS GADGET Any idea why WS would sell this rolling pin that does not have a (universal) 1/8" gauge? I mean really, who is rolling out crust 1/16" thick or, better yet 3/8" thick? Pie crust or cookies or *anything* that thick? Maybe biscuits but who cares how even they are rolled because it doesn't really matter for biscuits. This product is a good idea but poorly thought through. Thanks a lot WS for another gadget that gets tossed. DO NOT BUY THIS MOSTLY USELESS GADGET.Date published: 2016-12-11Rated 5 out of 5 by Winnie95 from Very nice rolling pin This rolling pin is great for rolling out dough to an exact size. No uneven dough.Date published: 2015-04-12Rated 5 out of 5 by patsynn from rolling pin wonderful product for rolling pastries. thank you for this great productDate published: 2013-10-18Rated 5 out of 5 by jwax from Great tool What a relief to finally be able to roll out even dough. I make dog bones, cookie and pie dough and what a difference this adjustable rolling pin makes. I have bought the little washers you put on the ends of your own rolling pins but they never fit to my pins. Now my doughs look professional because they are even all across.Date published: 2012-12-31Rated 4 out of 5 by kenny4756 from Limited settings This pin works well, but, it needs a 1/8" set of rings! 1/4" is too thick for cookies and 1/16" is too thin for cookies and pie dough. It is slick, and works as advertised. I would love it and give it 5 stars if it had one more ring.Date published: 2012-12-28Rated 5 out of 5 by CarolyninDC from Ideal tool for scones and crusts! This rolling pin strikes me as one of the great ideas that was waiting to happen. I thoroughly enjoy the way it standardizes my rolling.Date published: 2012-05-04
The image shows four separate rings and an end cap. The measurement shows three dimensions only. Is there a fourth ring dimension missing? Hi Maarft, There are 4 sets of rings 3/8", 1/4", 1/6" and 1/16". We will update our product information page shortlyDate published: 2019-03-01

Standing on the white sand beach of the Fairmont Kea Lani on the Hawaiian Island of Maui in May, our two guides explain that before we set out on our outrigger canoe trip, we must give thanks to the spirits.
Turning towards Mount Haleakala, one of our guides sang a prayer while the other blew a conch shell while facing north, then west, south and east.
And deciding that anything that might help guarantee safe passage on the ocean is OK, I happily joined in the ritual, minus the conch shell blowing.
I wasn't sure what to expect when my partner and I signed on for the Hawaiian Canoe Experience at the Kea Lani, but it was on the water and it was free, so we were all in. Before pushing off, our guides gave us basic instructions in paddling and explained the Hawaiian commands we were to follow. Upon finishing our mini-training session, one of our guides suggested it was lucky none of us was attempting to chew gum and paddle at the same time, but we bravely forged on and piled into the canoe--bottoms first.
There were five of us in the canoe, including our two guides, and to start we paddled into the wind, which was surprisingly easy. As we skimmed through water the colour of dark blue sapphires, our guides told us stories of the history of the canoe and its connection to Hawaiian heritage. As we paused to admire the coastline, a large green sea turtle floated to the surface just metres away. Our guides explained that particular turtle is nicknamed Sleepy Head because he never moves too far from the same spot. But on this glorious May morning Sleepy Head must have discovered some untapped energy because he turned and swam directly to the canoe and then dove under us. The water was deep but so clear we could track its movements as it swam underneath the canoe and came out the other side. Five minutes later, a second sea turtle arrived to visit, but this time with the unfortunate nickname of Frankenstein due to the large growth on its head. Our guides explained that, years before Maui had any regulations governing pesticides or herbicides, chemicals were commonly used on local golf courses and when it rained they washed into the ocean. Frankenstein's growth, they said, was the result of prolonged exposure to the chemicals. I have no way of knowing if that story is true, but it provided a powerful message, while Frankenstein proved a powerful visual, about caring for the environment.
On the return trip we had the wind at our back and our paddles lay idle across our laps. That was until we neared the beach and our guides insisted we paddle like mad while singing the classic theme song to the 1960s-1980s TV cop show Hawaii Five-O at the top of our lungs. I'm sure we made quite the spectacle to the people watching from the beach, but I'd highly recommend the trip, which is free to everyone.
I didn't think the day could get much better, but later when we arrived for dinner at the Kea Lani's Ko restaurant, we were led out to the pool deck where a candlelit cabana with flowing white fabric walls awaited us.
Much like the canoe trip, Ko's menu has been designed to celebrate Hawaiian culture. Years ago, the sugarcane plantations on the Hawaiian Islands couldn't find enough local employees to work the fields, so there was a migration of workers from China, the Philippines, Japan, Korea and Portugal. Ko, the Hawaiian word for sugarcane, combines traditional plantation favourites with a nod to each country and a modern flavourful twist. That night we feasted on spicy tuna, lobster tempura and organic Maui beef.
The palm trees surrounding the pool were lit with strings of tiny lights and our cabana sparkled in the candlelight. It was breathtakingly beautiful and one of the most romantic dinner settings I've ever experienced, with a short history lesson in Hawaiian culture included.

Big Job from St Austell Brewery is crowned the best bottled beer in Britain
Press Release
30th November 2017
Big Job from St Austell Brewery is crowned the best bottled beer in Britain
Nick Boley and Roger Ryman, Brewing Director from St Austell Brewery
Big Job from St Austell Brewery has been crowned the Champion Bottled Beer of Britain in CAMRA's prestigious annual award which recognises the best bottle-conditioned real ale in the country.
Big Job is a big beer. At 7.2% ABV it is powerfully hoppy with both citra and centennial hops, and is jammed full of Cornish barley. With a smooth, citrus fruit taste and a hoppy, lemon smell, it is anything but subtle.
Runners up include Fullers' Vintage Ale which took home silver, and Oakham's Green Devil IPA which won Bronze.
Roger Ryman, Head Brewer at St Austell said: "In a market where there are so many fantastic beers available including two of my own personal favourites - Fullers' Vintage Ale and Oakham's Green Devil IPA - it is a huge honour to take home the crown. This award is a huge testament to the hard work of our brewing and bottling teams which are very dedicated to producing fantastic beers."
The judging and announcement took place at the BBC Good Food Show at the Birmingham NEC, following a series of local member voting rounds and regional judging competitions throughout the year. Visitors to the BBC Good Food Show will now have the opportunity to sample the winning beer along with other finalists at a number of tutored beer tasting events run by famous beer writers as part of the Great British Beer Experience.
CAMRA's National Director responsible for the competition Nick Boley says: "Congratulations to St Austell for winning the Champion Bottled Beer of Britain award, one of the highest accolades in the beer world."
Christine Cryne, master beer trainer and judge adds: "The standard of competition was fantastically high. Big Job is a moreish, golden beer with honey caramelised citrus notes, refreshingly smooth with a warming finish with increasing spicy dry bitter notes and a soft fruity nose.
"We were particularly impressed with how well balanced it was - we were looking for a beer which showed the brewers art of complexity, and that just gave it the edge."
A case of the Champion Bottled Beers of Britain and finalists will be available exclusively through Beer Hawk just in time for Christmas at https://www.beerhawk.co.uk/cbbob2017.

How A Nigerian Steals Your Laptop
Molly's laptop was stolen, and the thief didn't even break into her house, or snag it from her at a coffeeshop, or hold a knife to her neck in a darkened alley. No, her laptop was stolen via email. In fact, she mailed it to thief, in Africa. OMG, you're probably saying to yourself right now with your hands up by your face, how could this be? Discover the horrifying true story, inside…
Molly writes:
1. I posted my laptop for sale on Craigslist for $550.
2. firstname.lastname@example.com emailed me and said he'd send an extra $150 through Paypal for shipping to his cousin, a student in Nigeria.
3. Paypal sent me an email saying they needed the tracking # before they could post the $700 to my account, to protect the buyer and be fair to both parties. (I've since found out this email was a SCAM!)
4. I emailed the tracking # to the Paypal address they had provided and waited day in and day out. I'd paid $76.05 to ship the laptop.
5. Finally, I got frustrated enough today to call Paypal and demand the money. They said the buyer account did not exist and there was no $700. The only thing they had a record of was my request for $700 from the buyer.
6. So! Paypal couldn't do shit. They told me to call USPS and recall the laptop.
7. USPS said the laptop left the US on September 22nd and cannot be recalled once it leaves. The insurance I'd put on the item was for lost or damaged goods. It does not protect against fraud.
8. So! USPS couldn't do jack.
9. I reported this to the FTC, but what's that gonna do? NOTHING!
10. I'm so livid that I am currently in an emotionless state.
That's right, Molly, you're fucked. Here's a few things to remember so you don't end up like Molly:
- Don't mail anything to Africa and expect to get money back. Any email based around some kind of transaction wanting to have you do something involving Africa is probably a scam.
- Someone offering to buy something from you, then give you extra money over the sale price so you will ship it to a third party, is probably scamming you.
- If Paypal were really stepping in to mediate between you and the other party, a record of it would appear in your resolution center on paypal.com

Recent investigative reporting by Kevin Spear in the Orlando Sentinel reveals the dramatic and widespread pollution and flow problems facing so many of Florida's rivers and springs. These reports were echoed by editorials across the state calling on Florida's governor, Department of Environmental Protection and Legislature to take action to protect and restore our impaired waterways.
Yet instead of resolving the serious problems that threaten our state's most precious natural resources, efforts in Tallahassee have focused on rolling back environmental safeguards and growth-management guidelines, cutting funding for conservation and regulation, reducing enforcement against polluters and liquidating public lands.
Severe budget cuts are seriously compromising the ability of Florida's DEP and water management districts to adequately protect our state's natural resources. Funding for many important conservation, restoration, monitoring, research, enforcement and education programs has been drastically reduced or eliminated.
Our state has also lost decades of valuable knowledge and expertise from significant layoffs, resulting in less capable agencies with insufficient resources and demoralized personnel. Although the DEP recently claimed "these reductions have done nothing to erode the agency's role in regulating industry and protecting the environment," it is not hard to find evidence to the contrary.
In 2012 the St. Johns River Water Management District cited "staffing capabilities" when asked why it reduced the number of monitoring stations in the St. Johns' lower basin by nearly two-thirds.
In addition, the recent decision by the Northwest Florida Water Management District to delay setting minimum flows and levels for Wakulla Springs for 11 years raises serious concerns about the ability of Florida's water-management districts to perform their critical missions at current funding and staffing levels. Reduced monitoring and legal protections endanger our environment and public health, while polluters profit.
Efforts are under way now by the DEP to streamline permitting requirements for large water users that will result in longer permits, less oversight and no additional requirements for conservation and efficiency. These changes benefit select industries at the expense of our water resources and the majority of Floridians.
On Gov. Rick Scott's watch, unwise policy decisions, draconian budget cuts and the excessive influence of special interests have put Florida on the brink of losing 40 years of progress on environmental protection, land conservation and growth management. This is bad water-management policy and even worse economic policy for our state.
We now face one of the greatest emergencies in Florida's modern history. Our prized and supposedly well-protected rivers and springs are "sick" from pollution and in need of restoration and protection by our state agencies and a Legislature that shares our citizens' concerns and determination to correct the current abuses of negligence.
The Wekiva River, north of Orlando, is designated as an Outstanding Florida Water and a national Wild and Scenic River, and is protected by two major pieces of state legislation. Tragically, the Wekiva remains sick in terms of both water quality and quantity. The three major springs in the Wekiva River have reported nitrate concentrations 480 percent higher than the maximum levels for healthy waters.
And while the largest of Wekiva's springs, Wekiwa and Rock, have reported flows below established minimum flows and levels for the past two years, the St. Johns district refuses to meet its statutory duty of restoring flows to these natural jewels.
As a result, the Florida Conservation Coalition and our partners are hosting "Speak Up Wekiva" at Wekiwa Springs State Park on Feb. 16. We are organizing this event to celebrate our outstanding water resources, educate and engage the public and policymakers about the challenges facing the river and the springs that feed it and advocate for the protection and restoration of all of Florida's impaired waterways.
It's time for Floridians to speak up for our environment and ensure its protection for generations to come.
Bob Graham, a former U.S. senator and Florida governor, chairs the Florida Conservation Coalition. Nathaniel Reed has served seven governors and two presidents, and is the coalition's vice chairman.

Ski Lettings needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 117 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
Ski Lettings
Our website helps people looking for ski accommodation find the perfect place to stay. What makes us different to other holiday rental websites is our focus on ski properties and our use of media such as google maps, high resolution photography and video to help our clients show-off their properties.
Our target audience are skiers travelling independently rather than as part of a package holiday. The website does not target any specific age group.
1. I should mention that we promote only privately owned ski accommodation such as apartments, villas, chalets etc. We don't promote hotels.
2. The logo should be a reflection of our fresh and modern approach to ski holiday rentals. A vibrant web 2.0 style would be preferred, but I'm open to ideas.
3. The logo should include the company name
4. The logo should work on the web and in print.

Most of the material on our website and, especially, Hydraulics & Pneumatics magazine, deals with fluid power and related technology. Well, if you use the term related very loosely, a news release we received recently is related to hydraulics technology.
Macrovision Marekting Communications is a PR agency in Doylestown, Pa., and Charles Birkhead sometimes sends me news releases about one of his clients, IFH Group, Rock Falls, Ill. IFH Group designs and manufactures reservoirs for hydraulic systems, fuel systems, and other applictions. So when I received Chuck's latest release about IFH, naturally, I assumed it would be about a reservoir for some type of demanding hydraulics application.
I was wrong.
The news release describes how IFH designed and built a custom kennel for police dogs in Rock Falls, Ill. Being a dog lover, I couldn't resist picking up this news story that has nothing to do with fluid power but illustrates the versatility of the people and their capabilities at IFH Group. Here's the scoop (pun intended):
When the Rock Falls, Ill., police department was looking for a new vehicle for its mobile K9 unit, it decided that something other than the usual kennel was needed to go with the new super crew cab pickup it had decided to use instead of an SUV.
Because there was no real need for the K9 officer to transport prisoners, the department wanted to have a special mobile kennel built that would occupy the entire rear seating area of its new Ford F-150 pickup. The dog has plenty of room, and he can also jump in and not have to immediately turn his body to the rear of the vehicle as he had to do in the one-third/two-third kennel design that was used previously. This will save wear and tear on the joints in the dog's hips, shoulders, and legs over the numerous times he gets in and out of the vehicle throughout a typical shift.
After researching kennels from several manufacturers, the department decided a custom solution was needed and turned to The IFH Group, an area metal fabricator that is also a major supplier of hydraulic oil reservoirs and fuel tanks for off-rhighway vehicles. With its extensive metal fabricating expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, The IFH Group designed and built a mobile kennel that not only met the requirements of the department, but improved upon them as well.
In addition to occupying the entire rear seating area of the crew cab, the new kennel provides plenty of ventilation between the front cab area and the interior of the kennel to more easily control the climate for the dog's comfort and safety. Fabricated from aluminum using laser cutting, bending, welding, and powder coating, it can be easily cleaned with a garden hose without water going all over the inside of the vehicle. It has a sliding door so the dog can get from the kennel area to the front of the vehicle in the event of an emergency or to deploy him from the front on a fleeing suspect.
In addition, The IFH Group provided custom window screens with "RFPD K9" laser cut and welded into them as well as the dog's name, "Nero", laser cut and riveted to the sliding door inside the cab -- all without any permanent modifications being made to the vehicle.
"We were glad to be able to help the RFPD," said IFH Group President Keith Ellefsen. "And we'd be happy to assist any police department with a K9 kennel that better meets their needs."
RFPD Officer Jeremy Vondra agreed. "The finished product far exceeded my expectations, as it has a custom look that officers like along with being functional, comfortable and safe for my K9 partner and me. Other departments looking for a better solution for their mobile K9 units might want to look into it."

Hisanori Takahashi will get another chance partly because he deserves it, but also because the Mets don't have much choice.
Takahashi has started four games; two sparkling and two stinkers. What the Mets have learned is when the unraveling starts it comes quickly, and trouble usually comes around the fifth and sixth innings.
He began to tire at this time against the Yankees and Phillies, and yesterday. However, he lost it early against the Padres, when he never had command.
The memory of the Yankees and Phillies starts, plus how strong he was until the Cody Ross homer yesterday, is what will keep him in the rotation for now.

Scalpers Slow Springsteen Ticket Sales
Ticketmaster says its website was attacked by scalpers as tickets went on sale for Bruce Springsteen's upcoming concerts in Newark and the Meadowlands on Friday morning according to the Star Ledger.
Using sophisticated computer programs that generated 2.5 times the traffic Ticketmaster had seen for any major sale during the last year, users were delayed and timed out as they used the Ticketmaster website and apps to purchase tickets.
The sophisticated programs, known as "bots," outwit online ticketing services restrictions on the number of tickets an individual can buy to a specific concert. By flooding the ticketing service at the start of the so-called onsale, the programs essentially block out consumers and buy up the inventory at lightning speed.
Ticketmaster was able to clear up the problem by the time tickets to Springsteen's Madison Square Garden dates went on sale later in the day. A Townsquare Media NJ employee attempting to buy tickets using her iPhone for one of the Garden shows experienced delays but successfully purchased 2 tickets.
"Big acts mean big fan interest. Unfortunately this also means that scalpers are out in full force," Ticketmaster said in a statement. "Scalpers were using sophisticated computer programs to assault our systems and secure tickets with the sole intention of selling them in the resale market."
Springsteen noted the delays on his webiste, brucespringsteen.net. "We know that many of you have been having trouble getting tickets on this morning's on-sales," the statement said. It was followed by an early explanation from Ticketmaster, the world's largest ticketing service.
In a statement, 8th Congressional district representative Bill Pascrell (D) said he is preparing to reintroduce the Better Oversight of Secondary Sales and Accountability in Concert Ticketing Act, more simply known as the BOSS ACT. He has been meeting with stakeholders and drafting the bill, which was originally introduced on June 1, 2009.
That version of the BOSS ACT would have brought a basic level of transparency to the ticket industry so that fans have a fair chance to purchase tickets on the primary market. It also sought to protect consumers who choose to use the secondary market to purchase tickets.
"We've got to take a very, very careful look at the use of high-tech computer programs. While many fans were unable to get tickets today, many brokers were able to get their hands on good seats ... and put them up on secondary ticket sellers' websites," said Pascrell, who will re-introduce federal legislation to improve oversight of the ticket industry.
Tickets for concerts in Tampa, Fla.; Boston; Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; Detroit; Buffalo, N.Y.; Albany, N.Y.; and Cleveland go on sale today.

|Line 19:
|Line 19:
=== invert module parameter ===
=== invert module parameter ===
For some
For some , the invert module parameter is needed in order to handle the X and Y rotation axes correctly. In that case, you can simply add the option to the insmod command, e.g.:

insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/hdaps.ko invert=5
Revision as of 02:40, 3 September 2010
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 don't cause them to crash into the drive's platters. Hopefully, this will prevent catastrophic failure.
As of Linux 2.6.28, the kernel has the ability to park disk heads on demand. Previously, this had to be patched into the kernel. Thanks to the kernel devs' hard work, we no longer have to rebuild our kernel to use this feature. Obviously, this means you need to be running 2.6.28 to follow this guide.
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 ThinkPad laptops. It is highly recommended if you have a ThinkPad, even if you don't 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 AUR. After installing, add
tp_smapi to your
MODULES array. 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. For this reason, the HDAPS part of tp_smapi is built separately. Attempting to add
hdaps to your
MODULES array will result in the default drivers being loaded. This is not what we want, as we have our special ThinkPad HDAPS drivers. Instead, modify your /etc/rc.local to include the following line:
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/hdaps.ko
This will load the ThinkPad HDAPS module at the end of the initialization sequence.
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 simply add the option to the insmod command, e.g.:
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/hdaps.ko invert=5
for a ThinkPad X200. 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 from AUR. Be sure to review
/etc/conf.d/hdapsd to ensure that it's protecting the correct hard drive.
Because we have to load the hdaps module in
rc.local, which executes after the DAEMONS array is loaded, we have to put hdapsd in rc.local instead of in DAEMONS like usual. Modify
/etc/rc.local again, putting this line after the insmod added above:
/etc/rc.d/hdapsd start
After a reboot, your computer will now monitor the joystick devices and park your disk heads to protect it against shocks. If you find that the HDAPS protection is too sensitive, please edit the file
and edit the sensitivity line. The larger number is defined, the less sensitive HDAPS protection gets.
Reboot your computer at this point. After init, if you jiggle your laptop, you should be able to hear the hard drive park. Don't do this too much
GUI Utilities
Utilities exist to monitor hdapsd's status so you know what's going on while you're 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's already a PKGBUILD in AUR (see here). If you don't 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.

WHEN YOUR CHILD IS SICK OR HURT, little else matters. Parents will stop at nothing to help their child reach 100 percent again. Most parents aren't M.D.'s, so in times of trouble, they rely heavily on their doctors. In an area as large as ours, finding a doctor you can trust and connect with can be a daunting task. Finding a pediatrician your child can trust and connect with? Even tougher. The staff at DFWChild realize this, and that's why we've launched Mom-Approved Doctors. We asked our experts - local moms - to reach out to us and share their favorite physicians. These moms are convinced that their doctor is special, and they want you to know why.
WHAT IS A MOM-APPROVED DOCTOR?A Mom-Approved Doctor is a doctor who has earned the trust, admiration and respect of parents. Local parents reached out to our magazine, recommended these physicians and told us why. Whether it's bedside manner, flexibility or professional acumen, moms love these doctors and want to recommend them to other moms. All of these doctors were in good standing with the Texas Medical Board at press time.
WHAT MAKES MOM-APPROVED DOCTORS DIFFERENT?Each year various publications come out with lists ranking area doctors. We think Mom-Approved Doctors are special because they've been nominated by the consumer - moms like you. Moms who love their kids and care about their health. These doctors didn't make it onto our list by purchasing space in the magazine, and their inclusion doesn't imply an endorsement by DFWChild. This is a "parent-to-parent" referral list. It has been a labor of love for us.
IS THE LIST EXHAUSTIVE?The list is by no means exhaustive. There are likely many outstanding doctors who aren't on the list, because our readers didn't pass on a recommendation. If you have a local doctor you love, tell us.
HOW DO I RECOMMEND A DOCTOR?To recommend a Mom-Approved Doctor, click here and complete the Mom-Approved Doctors survey. We ask that you leave comments telling us why you chose this particular doctor. Was it their empathy? Their listening and communication skills? Moms want to know why you think this doctor is special. Comments we publish will be edited for grammar and clarity.

Sindh high court orders government to stop censoring websites illegally
Reporters Without Borders welcomes the ruling that the high court of the southeastern province of Sindh issued in response to a joint petition on 17 April by Bolo Bhi, a Pakistani civil rights group, and other human rights activists in a bid to stop illegal website censorship by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
According to a Bolo Bhi press release, the petition asked the court to ensure that no website was blocked, censored or restricted in violation of articles 4, 9, 10-A, 18, 19, 19-A, 20 and 25 of Pakistan's Constitution.
After examining the petition, the high court served notice on the federal government and ordered the PTA not to block any website except in accordance with the provisions of the Pakistan Telecommunication Act of 1996. This law regulates the PTA's control of telecommunications networks and requires, inter alia, that this control be exercised in a fair and transparent manner.
The high court's ruling, if respected, would make it impossible for the government to introduce any nationwide website filtering system.
While welcoming the ruling, which penalizes the lack of transparency in the PTA's past website blocking, Reporters Without Borders calls for vigilance because the PTA could try to circumvent it by devising a constitutional procedure based on the anti-blasphemy law and national security provisions.
10 NGOs seek commitment by Pakistani authorities to scrap Internet filtering plans
On the initiative of the Pakistani human rights organization Bolo Bhi, 10 NGOs including Reporters Without Borders have signed an open letter to the Pakistani prime minister and the minister of information technology asking for a public commitment to withdraw plans to install a national Internet filtering and blocking system.
The letter was prompted by an interview with National Assembly Member Bushra Gohar by Bolo Bhi, in which she reported that the secretary of the information and technology ministry, Farooq Awan, had given a verbal commitment to shelve the plan.
The same information was also reported in the daily Express Tribune. On 30 March, the human rights organization with a focus on Information and Communication Technologies, Bytes for All, cast doubt on the article and suggested it was a "strategic move to put an end to the raging protests".

Government wants to create national Internet filtering system
Reporters Without Borders wrote today to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani, the information technology minister and the head of the National ICT Research and Development Fund, which is attached to the ministry, to voice its opposition to a proposed national Internet filtering and blocking system.
According to the Daily Times, several international companies have already responded to the Fund's 2 February invitation to submit bids for the creation of the system, which is expected to cost 10 million dollars. Reporters Without Borders urges these companies not to cooperate with Pakistan's censors and not become the government's accomplices in the creation of an electronic barrier.
A petition has been launched online urging international companies not to respond to the Fund's request for bids.
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani
Minister in charge of the Ministry of Information Technology (MoIT)
Dr. Mohammed Yaseen
Chairman of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority
Dr. Syed Aun Abbas
CEO, National ICT R&D Fund
Paris, 2 March 2012,
Dear Prime Minister Gillani,
Dear Dr. Yaseen,
Dear Dr. Abbas,
Reporters Without Borders, an international organization that defends freedom of information, would like express its deep concern about the invitation that was issued on 2 February to private-sector companies and research institutions to bid for the creation of a "National URL Filtering and Blocking System" intended to block access to millions of "undesirable" websites.
In your specifications, you say that the system should be able to block "undesirable" content by Domain Name Server (DNS) and using Deep Packet Inspection (DPI); that it "should be capable of URL filtering and blocking, from domain level to subfolder, file levels and file types," and that it "should be able to block a single IP address or a range of IP addresses."
Reporters Without Borders urges you to abandon this project, which would reinforce the arsenal of measures for communications surveillance and Internet censorship that have already been put in place by your government.
The invitation to bid says that currently "Internet access in Pakistan is mostly unrestricted and unfiltered." We would like to point out that thousands of websites are nonetheless already blocked in Pakistan. The draconian Prevention of Electronic Crimes Ordinance, under which the dissemination of content hostile to the government can be blocked, is a measure for restricting access to information which we regard as abusive.
Some opposition websites, especially those of the Baloch community, have been made inaccessible on the basis of this law. The blasphemy law also has an impact on online free expression. The social network Facebook and the video-sharing platform YouTube were already entirely blocked (in May 2010 and February 2008 respectively) because of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
We would like stress our opposition to Internet filtering on principle. This is a position shared by Frank La Rue, the UN special rapporteur for the promotion and protection of freedom of opinion and expression. In a recent report, he recommended that the flow of information online should be restricted only in specific, exceptional and limited circumstances, and in accordance with international standards. He also said that the right to freedom of expression should be the norm and restrictions should be the exception, and not the other way round.
Aside from the obvious impact it has on Internet connection speed, Internet filtering always entails real risks of "overblocking," in which flaws in the filtering mechanism can render sites that are not targeted inaccessible. We would therefore like to know more about the type of content that this system is intended to target.
The adjective "undesirable" used in the invitation to bid is very vague and, above all, subjective. On what legal bases are you planning to block access to information for 20 million Pakistani Internet users? Furthermore, how will you be able to guarantee that the Deep Packet Inspection technology – which permits interception of all kinds of communication, including emails, phone calls, photos and messages posted on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter – will not be misused to monitor Internet users and hunt down dissidents?
We regard the creation of a system with so much surveillance capacity as particularly worrying at a time of growing physical danger for the media in Pakistan that is partly due to government intelligence and security agencies, which could decide to use these technologies.
You say the list of "undesirable" websites would be encrypted and accessible only to the staff responsible for compiling the blacklist database. This would constitute a disproportionate concentration of power. It would assign sole control over the Internet filtering to a group which would not be not subject to any control or democratic accountability and which would be able to make decisions in a completely non-transparent manner.
This national Internet filtering project must be abandoned because it violates the fundamental rights of your fellow-citizens, including online freedom of information and respect for privacy.
We thank in advance for the attention you give to our request and we look forward to a favourable response.

Three biotechnology firms that debuted on the markets this week got off to relatively strong starts with double-digit percentage gains on their first days of trading.
The latest was Versartis Inc. /quotes/zigman/30382752/delayed /quotes/nls/vsar VSAR , which was off to gains of more than 50% Friday even after the company raised its initial pricing to $21 a share. It was expected shares would hit the market at somewhere between $16 and $19 a share.
Versartis started trading shortly before 11 a.m. Eastern and hit the ground already ahead of the game with the first transactions at $28 a share. It is developing treatments for hormone growth deficiency.
The other two companies to go to market were in their second day of trading when Friday rolled around. Akebia Therapeutics Inc. /quotes/zigman/29435122/delayed /quotes/nls/akba AKBA also added 57% to its $17 strike price on Thursday, climbing more than 67% at one point during the session.
ButAkebia shares were down more than 10% to $24 in recent action. Akebia is developing a way to simulate high-altitude conditions as a method for treating anemia.
Israeli-based MediWound Ltd. /quotes/zigman/29194260/delayed /quotes/nls/mdwd MDWD , however, had more measured gains, which it sustained into Friday's session. After finishing its debut on Thursday up 23% from its $14 strike price, shares were up another 10% to $18.95 on Friday.
The company has developed a treatment to remove dead skin from burn wounds, and it has been approved by the European Medicines Agency.

Quick to Des Moines?
Erik Erlendsson writes that defenseman Kevin Quick, who was recently dismissed from Michigan of the CCHA, has had his name added to the roster of Des Moines of the USHL on the league's statistical website. Erlendsson goes on to write that the Lightning are unsure at this time whether or not Quick has indeed joined Des Moines.
Of Note: There has been no announcement from the Des Moines club, nor is Quick listed on Des Moines' roster on the team's official site. However, Pointstreak.com has the transaction of Quick being added to the Buccaneers listed on its player movement page.
Earlier this year Lightning prospect Luca Cunti was mistakenly listed on a Chicago Steel statistical report when he was still with St. Cloud State University. He would join Chicago a month later.
Again, nothing has been confirmed.

Laylaeloa necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 234 diseños de 39 diseñadores freelance.
Layla Eloá Photography
My name is Layla Eloá, 27, I am a Brazilian Photography based in São Paulo Brazil. First of all, sorry by some possible mistakes I can do writing in English.
I've tried to do my logo with a designer and was really frustating because he didn't get my idea. So after I saw the top voted the Top Designer for August, I got really impressed because he did all I wanted with the colors shapes and idea that I'm asking for
My web site is http://www.laylaeloa.com.br (that will be my next change after the logo), where it is possible to see a little bit of my jobs.
There are in the market, companies that serve the mass market, with several photographers and works simultaneously, not looking for quality and the individuality of the client, and my idea is selling a personal and esclusive product. The logo has to show STYLE, ELEGANCE, TRUST, and should be soft and delicate (clear but fancy, to make the brand strong)
Selective Audience that prefers to spend more money with a good service. I dont want the logo to be Cheap
I work with events, products, wedding, commercial, and at this point, I want to emphasis weddings, life style, couples, boudoir (but I don't want to be working exclusive with wedding, because I have good jobs with the other kind of photography), so the logo has to feet good for everything but with emphasis to weddings
Colors - White, black, orange, purple or any other suggestions for different colors and shapes. I don't want to use red.
Also a colorful option with a negative and positive option is welcome (and really useful to envelpoes, CDs etc)
I would like to have a symbol, connected with the logo, I could use as a watermark if necessary. (Maybe a letter or an abstract image...)
I do like the idea of this symbol as a signature of my name, or some letters of it. (with the text Layla Eloá Photography legible below)
Please do use something obvious like a camera or a lens, or cliparts. It may even have something to pass the idea of photography, but not an object directly. It should be simple and elegant.
I want the logo to be as a signature that I will use at the pictures, as artists use at paintings, but also something legible and commercially efficient
NEW: I would like to complement that I find The too words: Layla Eloá and the letters LE a really complicated to get connect because they are really rounded and there are a lot of L in my name. So it will be really challenge to do it. Please try a different way of doing this symbol if you don't find a way with my name.
UP DATED - Hi Guys! Thanks for the jobs. I would like to highlight that when I say that I like the idea of letters, it about the concept of the letters. Like and abstract idea making it become like arabesques, more conceitual than real letters, because it would look like my name is leyla! It would look like a delicated symbol!!
I hope this new update helps!
Thank you again

Lady Gaga Says Born This Way Foundation is for 'Youth Empowerment'
Let's get one thing straight. Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation, which she launched last month with her mother and Oprah Winfrey at Harvard, is not an anti-bullying foundation. It's a youth empowerment organization, which are two very different things. The Mother Monster clarified those key details in a '10 Questions' chat with Time magazine.
Gaga broke down some of the differences and how someone like her can enact change. She also fielded some hardball questions that Time lobbed at her pertaining to her persona and the power of her voice.
The BTWF is for youth empowerment: "This is about combating meanness and cruelty," Gaga said. "This is about inspiring bravery in young people and their parents and culture worldwide to work toward a kinder and more accepting society."
The BTWF does not distinguish between bullies and victims, which is a bold stance to take: "Each person is an equally important and valuable member of society," she said, showing some empathy towards bullies. "What the foundation is about is a transformative change that is going to a long time to affect the overall culture. Bullies were born this way too."
Gaga's artistry and philanthropy are separate: When reminded that in 2008 she said she writes what she knows, which includes subjects like sex, pornography, art, fame, obsession, drugs and alcohol, Gaga explained that there is a key difference. "My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist," she said.
Cynthia Germanotta is key in making the BTWF go: The Mother Monster's own mother is the generator operating this project. "My mom and I are very close," Gaga said. "One of the things I hope to impress upon everyone is that all it takes is just one person to believe in you." Clearly, Ma G believes in her.
Gaga's stage attire, wigs and heels are not a disguise, but an expression: When asked if she is hiding her true self via the Gaga persona, she said, "It may be perceived that my creativity is something I have to work on, when that's probably the most natural part of me. I think we should try to not be cynical about the individuality of others. Perhaps instead of a disguise, people should see it as an expression." She handled that one beautifully.

By a vote of 233 for and 180 against, the House failed to achieve the two-thirds majority needed to pass a resolution (H.J. Res. 192) designating April 24, 1986, for remembering the killing of more than 1 million Armenians in Turkey between 1915 and 1923.
Sponsors said the victims, who were Christians, were the targets of a genocide directed by the Muslim rulers of the Ottoman Empire. The resolution said "all victims of genocide" throughout civilization should be remembered on that date.
The Administration opposed the measure on grounds it unduly antagonized the current Turkish government, a NATO ally that bears no responsibility for the mass killings that occurred more than 60 years ago.
Sponsor William Ford (D-Mich.) said the resolution "in no way reflects negatively on the present government of Turkey, with whom we enjoy good relations."

Compassion International is an organization that works around the world to fight poverty, you may have heard of it last year when they organized a group of media people and bloggers to go to Uganda and write about the relief efforts they saw, one of whom was Shannon Lowe from Rocks in My Dryer who gave us wonderful stories of her time in Africa.
Well they're doing it again and I wanted to mention that you can look forward to more stories as Compassion International takes another group of writers to the Dominican Republic November 2-7, 2008 to record what's happening there. I was asked to attend but through scheduling conflicts I had to decline so the least I can do is to put you wise as to what you can expect from the other bloggers attending. Who knows, maybe I can get lucky next year and get another invitation to join them then?
The Pioneer Woman, 5 Minutes for Mom, Owlhaven and Big Mama are a few of the quality blogs that will be represented this time around which I'd encourage you to read as they report on their unique assignment. You might even consider donating to Compassion International's efforts--there are so many people in so many organizations around the world doing their part to help others it's a pleasure to be able to give them a little help in their efforts.

Wow - this is the first time I've heard of that organization. I'll be sure to take a look!
- JanMary said...
I sponsored a child in Uganda after following BooMama's Compassion trip. It is a wonderful organisation, and I have been so impressed by them.
Hope you get another chance to go - what an awesome experience that would be.
- Organizing Mommy said...
Wow, that's a nice experience! I used to have a Compassion child and quit, since I was a college student and couldn't continue. May be nice to get re-connected again.
- Emily ~ Little Window Shoppe said...
This looks like it will be an incredible experience. I haven't heard of Compassion International before your post...I will definitely keep tabs on these sites.
- Inkling said...
Awesome. Thanks for giving Compassion a plug. They are a great organization, and one's money goes right where they say it does, which is kind of rare among some other NGO's. They definitely allow others to hold them accountable, and they act with integrity in all they do. I've seen that firsthand.
I think their idea of getting the well-known bloggers involved is a brilliant way to spread their mission. And it think it's great that bloggers like you are willing to help them out. Way to go!
- Leslie said...
Thanks for the heads up! That will be wonderful to follow.
- Shaun Groves said...
We'll miss you in the DR.
Thanks for blogging about Compassion.

So you were another blogger Shaun set his sights on, eh?
As I said to Big Mama, Compassion knows their stuff. He chose well when he chose you -- even if you didn't get to go.
Maybe next year. You would be an asset.
