The technology is here, but will guns from 3-D printers become a problem?
These days, anyone with access to an Internet connection and a 3-D printer can view or download schematics from innumerable places to create homemade plastic guns -- guns that are difficult to detect and perhaps impossible for law enforcement to control, at least not until after the fact, The New York Times reported.
In December 2013, the U.S. Senate extended the Undetectable Firearms Act for 10 additional years, just before it was set to expire, upholding the law's prohibition on manufacturing, selling or possessing guns that can't be detected by x-rays or metal detectors. This came weeks after Philadelphia became the first United States city to ban the 3-D printing of guns at the local level.
Though the extension was unanimous, at least one lawmaker felt it wasn't strong enough. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., argued that the ban was ill-suited to restrict 3-D-printed guns that users could create out of plastics or other material that would pass undetected through security checkpoints.
Yet 3-D-printed gun accessibility abounds in America, ban or no ban. Last month, a man going by the moniker "Buck O'Fama" gained some attention for his claim that he 3-D printed the receiver for a semi-automatic Ruger Charger pistol. He only printed the receiver, but he bought the remaining parts online without the need for legal paperwork. Roughly a year prior, news outlets wrote about the Liberator, a 3-D gun created by Texas-based manufacturers that fired .380 caliber bullets. It was reportedly the world's first fully 3-D-printed gun, comprising 15 plastic components. The 16th piece -- a common nail -- served as the firing pin.
And as of this writing, downloading 3-D-printed gun schematics is pretty easy.
Blueprints for the Liberator were downloaded 100,000 times in two days, according to Forbes. And as of Aug. 26, torrent and file sharing sites offer downloads for schematics for other types of guns as well. There are also innumerable YouTube videos of people firing 3-D-printed guns, and they definitely got the instructions for those creations from somewhere.
But there's disagreement on just how effective or useful a 3-D-printed gun would be compared to the real thing. Earl Woodham, spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told Vice.com last year that his technicians were skeptical of 3-D printing's effectiveness.
"Our firearms technology people have looked at it," he said, "and we have not yet seen a consistently reliable firearm made with 3-D printing."
Many people claim that the common 3-D-printed gun isn't as durable as a regular gun and can't be fired too many times before breaking. For example, legal and technology blogger Josh Blackman wrote that 3-D-printing a gun is more difficult than it's worth, and that finding authentic, regular guns is easier and more convenient than going through all that trouble.
But 3-D printing metal guns may not be that far off: In 2013, the company Solid Concepts used industrial-grade printers to manufacture a functioning, metal Browning 1911 pistol. Solid Concept's marketing vice president, Scott McGowan, told RT News that the printers used are too sophisticated and expensive for widespread consumer use.
"It's definitely an industrial, commercial-type process," he said, "and it'll be years before metal printers become available on the consumer market, if at all."
Demand will likely grow for smaller 3-D printers in the home that work with metal. The Mini-Metal Maker 3-D printer, for example, has reached its funding goal on IndieGogo, indicating that people are ready for the technology. The printer is designed to make small metal objects, like homemade jewelry, but it could be the precursor for successive iterations of machines that can handle more complex creations.
Perhaps the real danger, however, would be in the hands of curious users who don't know what they're getting into. Though plastic guns may not be used as many times as their metal counterparts, it only takes one shot to hurt or kill someone.
Hod Lipson, director of Cornell University's Creative Machines Lab, told The New York Times that the inexperienced 3-D firearms users is the biggest problem.
"Weapons experts will tell you these guns are a joke and not that serious," he told The Times. "But that's exactly the problem. Plastic guns are easy to fabricate, they can be used just a few times and you can make guns that don't look like guns ... the real danger is kids and teenagers and hobbyists who will attempt to make these."
Regardless of the technology's effectiveness, it could be here to stay, in spite of what government wants to do about it. In summer 2013, the Department of Homeland Security warned that the widespread availability of 3-D printers and plastic materials in the home could make it impossible for authorities to effectively regulate.
Mashable covered the DHS memo and its contents. Limiting access, the organization claimed, could be impossible.
"Proposed legislation to ban 3-D printing of weapons may deter, but cannot completely prevent, their production," the memo stated. "Even if the practice is prohibited by new legislation, online distribution of these digital files will be as difficult to control as any other illegally traded music, movie or software files."
The overall gun control battle, however, continues.
On Aug. 25, 2014, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda donated $1 million to Washington state's Initiative 594 campaign, an effort to expand background checks on gun sales. If passed, I-594 would require background checks for all state gun sales and transfers, though legislation literature makes no mention of 3-D printed guns.

1 lb. bulgar wheat
Salt and pepper
1 lb. beets
1 lb. kohlrabi
1/4 lb. leeks
1/2 lb. asparagus
1/4 cup chopped parsley
4 cups beet greens
3/4 cup olive oil (some for grilling and some for dressing)
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Cook the bulgar according to package and let cool.
Start the beets by tossing them with some olive oil and salt. Then wrap them in foil and place in oven for about 30 minutes or until just tender. Let them cool enough to handle and peel the beets by rubbing the skins off with fingers.
Slice leeks and kohlrabi. Toss the kohlrabi, leeks, and asparagus with olive oil and salt and pepper. Grill them until just marked (about 2-3 minutes). Let cool.
Chop all the vegetables and toss with the bulgar, vinegar and a bit more olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Try using quinoa instead of bulgar and be sure to try different veggies as they come into season. Read More...

Oddities in Obscurity
The Legislature's stranger bills
Retired Cocks—It's nice to know the folks in our state Legislature maintain a sense of humor. Take, for instance, Rep. Thomas Taylor's memorial in support of good digs for feathered fighters out of the fray. He writes persuasively: "Whereas the lonely cluck of the warrior with no battle plucks at our heartstrings and stirs the very fabric of our compassionate souls." The cocks have probably not spent any time thinking about their golden years, Taylor laments, and it would be really unfair to cook them up and eat them. Therefore, the state should implement a retirement program "befitting the majesty" of the fighters. This would include "twice-weekly visits from the very best cage-free hens the state has to offer, one high-definition television for every six cocks and a subscription to ESPN, Animal Planet and CMT pure country, but not to the Food Network or FOX News." Amen.
Personage Vita
Beyond Videodrome
In a world where television is all-consuming, we can turn it off
I mostly hate television, but ever since we got basic cable I watch it all the time. It pains me to see the parade of materialism and celebrity worship that dominates my chosen programming, but I can't help myself. Turning it on and checking out for a bit is easy. And that's one thing. Another thing entirely is being compelled to watch television in public. It's hard to impossible to find a place to eat, drink, shop, do your banking or travel without coming in contact with TV and being compelled to stare. And that's just frustrating. I am advertently and inadvertently wasting my time on something I despise, which is exactly what Mitch Altman was doing too, before he quit.

Ten Days? Ha!
Why 60 days isn't enough
After the New Mexico Legislature had been in session for a couple of weeks this year, the Albuquerque Tribune ran an editorial suggesting New Mexicans would be better served by a 10-day session than by the "lengthy" 60-day session we were embarked upon.
Roundhouse Roundup
This is the End
The Alibi gives you the ups and downs of buzzword bills hashed out by the state's Congress this session.
Politics are supposed to be about the people. We're the intended deciders of the direction of our country and states, our counties and school districts. Our U.S. representatives are hired by us, and since we can't all make the trek to Washington, they do it instead, taking with them our ideals and desires. "Government of the people, by the people, for the people." Isn't that right?
Odds & Ends
Dateline: Finland--A Finnish Member of Parliament is aiming for re-election by campaigning in Klingon. Jyrki Kasvi, a self-proclaimed Trekkie, is hoping to lure hip young voters by translating his website into Klingon. "Some have thought it is blasphemy to mix politics and Klingon," said Kasvi. "Others say it is good for politicians to laugh at themselves." Kasvi said his politics posed certain translation problems, since Klingon does not have words for matters such as tolerance, or for many colors, such as green--the party under whose banner Kasvi is running. Kasvi's site (in English, Swedish, Finnish and Klingon) can be accessed at www.kasvi.org.
I am so happy, but not surprised, that the Alibi printed a piece in support of our club, the Highland MCs [Thin Line, "Jowls Aquiver," March 15-21]. I've always read, passed on to my students and respected the Alibi. Now I am a die-hard fan for life.

"Let Φ (a physical possibility structure) be a set of distinct but intersecting paths ji–jn, each of which is a set of functions, L's, on ordered pairs {t, w} ({time, world situation}), such that for any Ln, Lm in some ji, Ln R Lm, where R is a primitive accessibility relation corresponding to physical possibility understood in terms of diachronic physical compatibility."That is from David Foster Wallace's senior thesis in Philosophy entitled Richard Taylor's 'Fatalism' and the Semantics of Physical Modality, retrieved last week by James Ryerson for his New York Times magazine essay Consider the Philosopher.
I post this logical explanation because it explains a lot for me and (who knows?) possibly about me. The logical world of symbols is what I cut my intellectual teeth on. Like DFW and many others it is a limited and retarded world, meaning it slows up and prevents further growth and development. The need to move beyond looking at the world through the lens of logical modality is what I believe caused a change in the trajectory of Wittgenstein's philosophical work. After all, it was W who wrote, in notes published as Philosophical Grammar: "One of the most dangerous ideas philosophically is, oddly enough, that we think with, or in, our heads. The idea of thinking as an occurrence in the head, in a completely enclosed space, makes thinking something occult." It was also a way get around the enclosed space of the head that caused Husserl to develop his phenomenological method, by means of which he sought to overcome the hard and fast subject/object distinction posited by Descartes, a problem with which Kant also grappled in his Critique of Pure Reason.
It was in 1985, with the logical proof above, that DFW refuted a problem introduced by philosopher Richard Taylor in his article Fatalism, published in 1962. The thesis set forth by Taylor holds "that human actions and decisions have no influence on the future."
Proving Camus was correct in his contention that "[t]here is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide" and demonstrating that he was perhaps ironically expressing a kind of fatalism when he wrote, "I'll say God seems to have a kind of laid-back management style I'm not crazy about. I'm pretty much anti-death. God looks by all accounts to be pro-death. I'm not seeing how we can get together on the issue, he and I . . .," DFW killed himself on 12 September 2008. I tried reading some of his writings after that as a sort of homage, but I couldn't and still cannot. His fiction is not for everyone, laden with notes and asides and positively teeming with contingencies and sketches of what it is to be human now. Infinite Jest is his most well-known novel and the source of the above DFW quote. Should you read it? I don't know. I remain fascinated by the book, but I don't recommend it often. I think Ryerson hit the nail on the head when he wrote this about DFW:
"But Wallace was also wary of ideas. He was perpetually on guard against the ways in which abstract thinking (especially thinking about your own thinking) can draw you away from something more genuine and real. To read his acutely self-conscious, dialectically fevered writing was often to witness the agony of cognition: how the twists and turns of thought can both hold out the promise of true understanding and become a danger to it. Wallace was especially concerned that certain theoretical paradigms — the cerebral aestheticism of modernism, the clever trickery of postmodernism — too casually dispense with what he once called 'the very old traditional human verities that have to do with spirituality and emotion and community.'" (underlining added by me)So, what DFW was grappling with was the complex and intertwined knot of fatalism, relativism, and most of all the late modern human tendency to subjectvisim, the most extreme form of which is solipsism, and the (consequent/subsequent?) breakdown of community, especially given the (seemingly contradictory) rise in social (global?) consciousness. Hence, the prominent role that addiction plays in his fiction, something pulled in from his experience. There is a quote in the segment on Thomas Merton from the Hearing Voices broadcast, Yes to God, done by Noah Adams way back in 1980, in which Fr. Matthew Kelty, Merton's last abbot, says something that has some bearing on this, too, while answering a question about why Merton remained a Trappist.
The dangerous idea that human actions have no bearing on the future, which the whole season of Advent refutes, is tackled brilliantly, that is, humorously and humanely in an episode of the only sci-fi series I have ever liked and followed, Red Dwarf. This installment of the series is entitled Cassandra.
Keep in mind that the point here is that what we do now matters and that while we may not be absolutely free, we are, at least in the vast majority of circumstances in which we find ourselves, free enough to be able to do what is good and resist evil. This insight seems simple, but fatalism, in its various forms, many of which are religious and all of which embrace Taylor's thesis, is very prevalent, especially as it pertains to final things, even among Christians. Let us remember what Pope Benedict insightfully wrote in Spe Salvi:
"Grace does not cancel out justice. It does not make wrong into right. It is not a sponge which wipes everything away, so that whatever someone has done on earth ends up being of equal value. Dostoevsky, for example, was right to protest against this kind of Heaven and this kind of grace in his novel The Brothers Karamazov. Evildoers, in the end, do not sit at table at the eternal banquet beside their victims without distinction, as though nothing had happened" (par. 44).I wrote about DFW six days after his death in a post, the title of which is taken from Kiekergaard's Fear and Trembling, called "if the basis of all that exists were but a confusedly fermenting element . . .", featuring Cake. What I hope shows through is how faith not only complements reason, but completes it, and how this completion results in true knowledge. In other words, reason and faith are interdependent and intersubjective- rationalism, fideism, and solipsism are ways of looking at the world that do not and cannot allow us access to reality. These modes are what Giussani would classify as predispositions, which often lead to dangerous ideologies.

This kind of leads into what I thought was Archie's biggest blunder of the night.
Coming out of the under 8 timeout of the second half, 7:51 to be exact, Shockers just turned it over, our ball and the game tied at 43-43. We need a bucket badly. Scoochie has been sitting since the 8:36 mark - as has Pollard. These media timeouts are very long so they both should be rested. However, the team that Archie puts back on the floor - is Crosby, Mikesell, Miller, Cook, and Kyle Davis. As soon as they walked out on the floor I said to the guy next to me - That is not a good lineup. No rebounding and limited offense and overall weak defense.
At that moment I want my best team on the floor for the rest of the game. Archie needs to realize those long timeouts give players a lot of rest - and coach accordingly. It was on this trip up the floor that Miller eschewed the 3 and missed the layup. Mikesell commits a foul on the other end. Archie immediately subs X, Pollard, and Scoochie back into the game. WSU makes 1 of 2 at the line to take the lead - a lead they never gave up the rest of the game. This whole sequence took 30 seconds of game time. I thought it was a very key strategic mistake and the turning point of the game - even allowing for the abysmal shooting and rebounding.
Subs must check in before the 1st horn of a timeout and when I say nobody checking in and heard that 1st horn, I said basically the same thing to my boys only I added a few more #&%$>$&^! to it. Especially after the fouls and re-substitutions. Was the extra 14 seconds of rest necessary?
Royally no.
Agreed! I simply said to my wife "this is not good".
I did not see how that bit of extra rest was necessary.
After this game, Scoochie Smith will go down in the annals of UD basketball as one of the greatest guards to ever play for UD.
I'm watching the replay now that I'm home so I'm going to give some running thoughts.
1st Half:
Cooke played well the first 5 minutes.

Checking In On… the Southland ConferencePosted by rtmsf on January 13th, 2012
Zach Birdsong is the RTC correspondent for the Southland Conference. You can also find his musings online at houstonianonline.com or on Twitter @Zachbird_nerd
Reader's Take
The Week That Was
- Conference play opens up: Southland Conference play has opened up and even though we are just a few games into the conference schedule, the games have already been exciting and closely contested and featured some real nailbiters. Out of the 12 teams in the conference, just four of the teams remain unbeaten as this season already looks to be competitive. Every season proves that the later we get into these games, the more dominant teams start to show. It will be exciting to see which teams emerge as contenders for the conference title and whether or not there will be a surprise team this year.
- Mike James repeats as Player of the Week: Lamar senior guard Mike James has been sensational this year. In three out of the last four weeks, he has been named conference "Player of the Week." His recognition comes after he averaged 26 points in the first two games of conference play. In one of those games, against A&M Corpus Christi, he finished with a season high 31 points. Against Central Arkansas, the senior was able to put up 21 points in an easy victory for the Cardinals. During those two games, James shot 65% from the floor (19-of-29) including 85% from three-point territory (6-of-7).
- Two top teams clash early in conference play: Early into the Southland Conference schedule, fans were treated to a delight as last year's regular season conference champion McNeese State took on Pat Knight's Lamar Cardinals. Before the season, the Cowboys were predicted to win the conference, but they struggled during their non-conference schedule. Lamar on the other hand was looking great despite having played three of the top 10 teams in the country. That being said, both teams battled to a close contest as the Cowboys eventually won a close one, 57-54, proving that experience matters. These teams still have to play one more time this season, and just like this meeting, expect it to be a good game.
Power Rankings
- Texas-Arlington (10-5, 3-0): Three games into conference play and no team has been more impressive than the Mavericks. In their three Southland games against SE Louisiana, Nicholls, and SHSU, they have won by an average margin of 31 points. They have been doing it on both sides of the ball as well. As a team, the Mavericks are shooting 46.5% from the floor and are holding teams to shooting just 34% and 16% from beyond the arc. Senior LaMarcus Reed III has been a leader for the Mavericks, averaging 16 points in those three games. Read the rest of this entry »

Looking for South Texas style island fun with beaches, boating, hiking, fishing, surfing, seashells, and bird watching? Hop the 24-hour Port Aransas Ferry from Aransas Pass on the mainland and make the 10-minute crossing of Corpus Christi Channel to Mustang Island. Drive your car on Port A's beaches on your way to a money-saving vacation rental home, apartment or condo. Party with the college spring break crowd, or choose a quieter time for a more mellow island life style.
Start your birding adventure in Aransas Pass, even before boarding the ferry to Mustang Island. Newbury Park Hummingbird Garden, a winter migration sanctuary, is the place to watch for rufous, ruby-throated, black-chinned, buff-bellied, and Anna's hummingbirds. Outside your Port Aransas beachfront home or other money-saving vacation rental, the Mustang Island Loop beckons your birding binoculars. Start with Mustang Island State Park for sand dune, tidal flat, grassland, seabird, and shorebird species. Nearby Padre Island National Seashore has logged almost 400 bird species migrating on the Central Flyway between North and South America.
Take the family and kids seashell collecting on adjacent San Jose Island. Then cast your line and fish the surf, piers and jetties for speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead, pompano, black drum, and kingfish. Offshore fishing boats offer a sporting chance of landing sailfish, marlin, red snapper, tarpon, ling, barracuda, Spanish mackerel, and tunas. With luck, catch an amberjack, yellowfin or blackfin tuna for a local restaurant to cook to order. Or cook it yourself and save money in your vacation rental kitchen. Plan your summer vacation rental around a specialized weekend fishing tournament. Kids can enter the Piggy Perch contest.
Launch your own boat at an island marina, or rent a boat to explore the Gulf of Mexico and Corpus Christi Bay. Or kayak the bays and channels. Kids will be fascinated by the island pirate legends and Civil War navy lore. Supposedly, pirate boats came ashore here to bury their treasures in the sand. During the Civil War, U.S. Navy ships battled Port Aransas ships supplying cotton, seafood, salt and beef to the Confederate Army and burned down the town, piers and wharves. Today, all seems peaceful. The U.S. Coast Guard station keeps the marinas and boating safe during your vacation rental stay.

With New Years right around the corner, many folks are thinking about what will come in 2014. Many people will also be making new years resolutions. I'd like to propose something a little bit different this year. Instead of looking forward to what will be, lets look back and what has been; more specifically, lets practice gratitude for all the good things that we enjoyed in 2013.
This looking back and practicing gratitude has been show to be more productive. It is something that I have learned this year to be a huge boost to my happiness, there are moments where I am struck by how lucky I have been and what a great life I have been fortunate enough to live. I have learned to appreciate the things we often take for granted.
This practice of expressing gratitude has been shown in studies to actually boost happiness.
2013 was an amazing year, lets be thankful for it.

MATLAB is a high-level programming language and environment for computational analysis. Although MATLAB has its origins as a matrix-oriented system with fast and robust linear algebra capabilities, it can be used for many kinds of analyses. The base software is extended by MATLAB Toolboxes, which provide additional functionality for tasks such as signal processing, designing and simulating neural networks, solving large scale optimization problems, working with symbolic math expressions, and more. Traditionally, MATLAB has been especially popular among scientists who wish to rapidly develop and run simulation models (including population viability analysis), and it is also widely used by those working with climate data, oceanographic data, and other large-scale physical data.

Type 1 Diabetes: Overview
Every year approximately 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. You can develop type 1 diabetes (also called juvenile diabetes) at any age, but most people are diagnosed when they are children, teens or young adults.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which your body's immune system attacks the pancreas. This prevents the pancreas from making the hormone insulin, which regulates glucose (sugar) levels in your blood. Without insulin, your body is unable to convert the sugar from what you eat and drink into the energy your body needs.
There are several types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2 and gestational. About 5%-10% of all people with diabetes have type 1. Although it's still unclear what causes type 1 diabetes, having family history of the disease and environmental triggers can increase your chances of developing it.
Although there is no cure for type 1 diabetes, consistently taking insulin medication can regulate your blood sugar levels and help manage your condition.
While living with diabetes is not always easy, many people successfully control their blood sugar levels through proper insulin use, diet and exercise. You can, too!

Your Debian / Ubuntu Linux box security depends upon access to system services (one of many aspects). For example, you may need to provide a web server (Apache service) to serve web pages. However, if you do not need use a service, you should always turn off all unused services to avoid exploits.
Traditionally, Debian provided various tools to manage services. There are various methods for managing access to system services:
a) /etc/init.d/service
b) rcconf
c) update-rc.d etc
Under Red hat and Centos Linux you can use chkconfig command (ntsysv command) to configure Sys V style init script links. There is also service command to stop / start / restart services.
So if you are addicted to the service command under RHEL / CentOS / Mandriva Linux and have wondered what to do in Debian / Ubuntu, Linux try sysvconfig package.

All major FreeBSD filesystems support 4K sectors (UFS, ZFS, ext2), and so does the lower level - GEOM - but currently there's an issue of communicating this configuration between all the layers. A part of the problem is that the current drives (and the situation will probably not change during this new decade) advertise two sector sizes: both 512 byte and 4K, and the system needs to correctly interpret them. All this will be resolved when a consensus on the topic gets achieved, but until that happens (hopefully soon), there is a set of easy workarounds, which I'll describe here.
GEOM and the file systems do all IO access in byte offsets, so the underlying sector size isn't important as long as it's addressable. For instance, a command like "dd if=/dev/da0 bs=10 count=1 of=/tmp/foo" will fail since /dev/da0 is a raw device which cannot be read in increments of 10 bytes - only at "physical sector size", which is 512 (change bs=10 to bs=512). This means that basically, any file system that can do most of its IO as 4K-aligned will automagically work "good enough" in the configuration where the drive can do 512 byte access but optimally does 4K access. Luckily, UFS and ZFS can do all accesses aligned to 4K so they can work even on "pure" 4K drives. In fact, if the drive adverties 4K sector size as "one true sector size", both file systems will do fine by default, without any additional configuration. The rest of this text applies to the situation where the drives advertise both sizes.
1. Aligning partitions
The first step is to align the partitions to 4K offsets. Though again GEOM doesn't care, both fdisk and disklabel tools still behave like they are bound by old defunct CHS requirements and by default produce silly offsets like "63 sectors".
The default sysinstall configuration will also do this, so if installing on a 512/4K drive, manual intervention is required to make the partitions aligned to 4K (or in other words, 8 512 byte sectors). In this case, 64 sectors is a good alignment, 63 sectors is not.
Using the manual gpart command, both the "start" and the "size" arguments need to be 4K-aligned. Old fdisk and disklabel commands should not be used in FreeBSD 8+.
UFS formatting (newfs) reques only that the fragment size be set to 4096:
newfs -U -f 4096 /dev/da0
This will basically ensure most of the IO is done in 4K offsets. FreeBSD 9 will use 4K fragments by default.
ZFS requires basically the same things like UFS, only the "zpool create" command cannot accept an argument telling it what the alignment should be (ashift). To make ZFS issue 4K-aligned IO, the "zpool create" phase needs to be tricked into thinking the drive has 4K physical sectors. This can be done by using gnop - a GEOM class which is used for testing and which normally does not produce permanent changes (i.e. it doesn't write its metadata).
For each device which will be made a part of the pool, a gnop "chained" device needs to be created, and then those devices need to be added to a pool:
gnop create -S 4096 /dev/da0
gnop create -S 4096 /dev/da1
zpool create data mirror /dev/da0.nop /dev/da1.nop
This will create the "data" pool with the *.nop devices, making ZFS think the drives have 4K physical sectors. Next, the pool needs to be exported and the gnop devices removed:
zpool export data
gnop destroy /dev/da0.nop /dev/da1.nop
Next, the pool can be imported from the "raw" devices:
zpool import data
You can check the configuration of the pool by using the "zdb" command on the pool:
zdb -C data | grep ashift
The ashift should be "12" for 4K alignment. This works because ZFS writes the ashift value in its metadata.
There could be problems with booting from such drives, but apparently there are patches to fix those.
4. Compatibility
For compatibility with older machines (which cannot boot from "pure" 4K drives) and operating systems (which cannot parse them), the 512/4K dual identification will probably remain with us for some time as one of the "legacy" technologies which are common in the PC world. It is because of this that the steps described above are necessary - if any drives appear which only advertise the 4K size and the BIOS (or EFI) and the controllers support it, FreeBSD will support it automagically, without the configuration dance described above.
The described methods are "future proof" even if the drive, the controller, BIOS or the OS decide one day to ignore the 512 byte advertisments and pronounce the drives as "pure 4K".
The changes are also, of course, irreversible. If for some reason it is discovered that the drives need to be used as 512 byte drives (e.g. booting problems, etc.), the only way to do it is to reformat them (i.e. destroy the ZFS pools, or use newfs again).
#1 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Lots of talk about mixed 512 and 4K drives on FreeBSD forums lately. Thanks for this clean and simple guide.
#2 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Thank you!
#3 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Several errors in this post.
Firstly, the problem is not that drives advertise two sizes - quite the opposite! The problem is that current consumer-grade 4kB drives advertise 512B sectors and are indistinguishable from true 512B drives. I thought of adding a hint mechanism to the ata / ada stack to recognize the drives by name, but people may have pre-existing misaligned file systems on their 4k drives, so we can't just throw the switch...
Secondly, both fdisk and sysinstall force an incorrect partition alignment; you can not specify the correct alignment manually (unless you choose an alignment which is a multiple of both 8 and 63, which are coprime, so a multiple of 504 sectors).
Thirdly, disklabel (now called bsdlabel) does not know or care about CHS. It will offset the first partition by 16 sectors for historical reasons, but that is not a problem since 16 is a multiple of 8.
My recommendation is simply to use gpart instead of fdisk / bsdlabel, and do manual installs until we get a new sysinstall that understands GPT. Or just stay away from 4k drives, since the ones I've tested are extremely slow, even when the file system is correctly aligned.
See http://maycontaintracesofbolts.blogspot.com/search/label/freebsd for additional information.
#4 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Not quite...
1) Drives do ship with 512/4K advertising (the WD drives seem to be an exception in that they lack 4K advertising) and FreeBSD currently has no way of propagating this information all around. From your "throw the switch" phrase it looks like you are thinking of simply pronouncing the drives as "pure" 4K drives (i.e. sectorsize=4096); I've also advocated this position a few months back but I've learned that it would do more harm than good. For compatibility, FreeBSD will just have to do what everyone else in the industry does and cope with 512/4096 advertising.
2) Neither fdisk nor sysinstall force 63-sector alignments (at least in 8-stable), though in sysinstall you have to use the atrocious and wholly undocumented "wizard mode". Try them, like I did.
(you're right about disklabel/bsdlabel)
#5 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
fdisk does force cylinder alignment - believe me, I tried. I considered fixing it, but decided to just use gpart instead.
#6 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Ok, please examine this script session: http://people.freebsd.org/~ivoras/stuff/fdisk.asc (for example with "less -r") and tell me what you think. As I see it, fdisk accepted a partition starting in sector 64, i.e. with parameters "beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 2;". Am I wrong?
#7 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Which version is this?
The last time I tried (in September, I think) it silently adjusted the partition to cylinder boundaries, so I went and learned gpart instead.
#8 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
I've said it before: 8-stable. Maybe someone fixed it separately from you, but also as I said: both fdisk and sysinstall can be talked into desired alignments.
Of course, fdisk and disklabel really should be fixed or evicted, gpart is currently the way to go. If everything falls in its place for me, I'll probably rewrite both - there's a need for interactive partitioning tools even if it's only psychological.
#9 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
What I noticed: transferring ZFS snapshots from drives with ashift=9 to drives created with the above instructions (ashift=12) will result in larger space usage (= not good)
#10 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Yeah but that's really expected - you DO have larger sector sizes (and more slack space) on 4K drives.
#11 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
#12 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Interesting post. I recently opened a FreeNAS 8.0.2 ticket, hoping there is a way to correct the 4k misaligned disks:
If anyone knows a way to properly built the array, please let me know.
#13 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Thanks for the post, it was very helpful.
Note that you do not need to create gnop devices for every device in your zpool. Doing it with just one of them forces the zpool to be created with the right ashift.
#14 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Does this mean that installing FreeBSD 8.x with sysinstall and fdisk will result in slices not being laid out at head boundaries on 4K sector drives?
#15 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Yes, FreeBSD 8 does nothing to align partitions and file systems.
#16 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Hi. As it seems FreeBSD 9.0 should install on WD10EARS drive correct ? I recently installed and face following problem: extracting ports/src from tar, making ports take huge amount of time, not to mention system often became unresponsible showing load about 0. At the same time copy/extract huge files, or dd from /dev/random to /file work very well, at very good speed. Same procedures, like extract ports from tar, with regular drive, and on the same computer work flawlessly and very fast.
#17 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
Is it possible to change a drive that has been partitioned with 512 sector size to 4096 wiothout loosing the data?
On ZFS.
#18 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
No, there's no option to change the expected sector size except for backup + reformat + restore.
#19 Re: FreeBSD on 4K sector drives
This article is a bit old (but still valid), google did show me this when I was dealing with my problem. This is something I didn't know when I was creating zvols on zpool and I had to resync all the data due to the utilization. Here's the thread at FreeBSD's forums:
Basically you have to pay attention what blocksize you use when zvol is created on zpool with 4K disks.

Cant Hooks and Peaveys
What is the difference between a Peavey and a Cant Hook?
Traditionally cant hooks were used around sawmills for turning cants. While peaveys were designed for and used
for river drives.
Both tools consist of a handle with a swing hook. The difference
between the two is what is on the end of the handle and the way the
tools grip a log.
A cant hook has a small toe hook on the end which provides a second
biting edge. A peavey has a point on the end which
is used to separate logs.
Today these tools are used interchangeably and are capable of doing the same jobs. So it comes down to personal
preference when choosing between the two tools. We have noticed regional preferences.
Cant Hook
Two biting edges.
Gets a better grip on the log.
Can be stuck between logs to free them.
Point can be stuck in ground to stand the tool up making it easy to find.

Looking for a change of scenery? Consider moving to Ladonia, a micronation made up of driftwood, nails, and nine-story wooden "fortresses†located in the southwest corner of Sweden. Designed by Lars Vilks, the mock nation consists of two works of art: Nimis, a maze of 70 tons of driftwood and nails, and Arx, a stone and concrete sculpture that looks like a melting sandcastle.
Vilks has managed to dodge government interference with the project by selling Nimis to Cristo, another artist, and by declaring Ladonia to be an independent nation in 1996. A fake group funded by the Pirate Bay called the Armed Coalition Forces of the Internets even declared war on the supposed 15,000 inhabitants of Ladonia, all of whom live elsewhere since they are nomads. Ladonia even has a national flag (green with a green cross) and a national anthem called "Ladonia for thee I flingâ€, written by Walter Ehresman, the country's Minister of Dubious Anthems.
The satirical nature of the Ladonia project didn't stop 3,000 Pakistanis from applying for immigrant status, only to find out that Ladonia is not, in fact, an inhabitable country.

Colorado records above-normal snowpack for second consecutive month
A significant storm across Colorado during the last week of January was enough to boost the snowpack numbers for the month to above average.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service of Colorado, a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, conducts a monthly snow survey throughout the winter, in order to help estimate how much water will be available in the spring and summer.
Mage Hultstrand, assistant snow survey supervisor, said the southwest basins and the Upper Rio Grande basin were especially in need of the boost from the recent storm, having received very little snow since early in December.
Summit County is part of the Colorado basin, which reported snowpack 116 percent of the median. That's 177 percent over the snowpack at this time last year. The reservoir storage in the Colorado basin is at 98 percent of average, better than last year's 66 percent of average storage.
Across Colorado, the Feb. 1 snowpack was reported to be 107 percent of the median.
"The snowpack is above where it typically is this time of year," Hultstrand said. "So 107 percent statewide just means it's up 7 percentage points from the median. It's not a lot above where we normally are."
Across the rest of Colorado, the Feb. 1 snowpack ranged from 100 percent of median in the Arkansas basin, to 126 percent of the median in the South Platte. The reservoir storage in Colorado has improved since the last measurement; statewide storage is currently at 90 percent of average.
The snow survey department was formed in the 1930s in response to the Dust Bowl, Hultstrand said. The state was looking for accurate water supply information, based on snowpack.
The snowpack is measured two different ways — the first is 120 automated SNOTEL sites, mostly at higher elevations, functioning as weather stations and generating hourly reports. The stations can weigh the snow to see how much water is in the snowpack, Hultstrand said.
There are also 102 manual sites people travel to once a month, to fill in the gaps from the SNOTEL sites. They stick a hollow metal tube in the snow, and weigh the core to get the snowpack. The type of snow can also drastically affect the snowpack measurements: A light fluffy snow doesn't contain as much water as the heavy, denser snow, Hultstrand said.
In areas like Upper Colorado, the current percentage is higher than the state average, 121 percent of the median, Hultstrand said. That's a comfortable number, she said, so that the next few months don't have a lot to make up for.
"Having this early season be really good so far — and this last storm really helped — that good base will help us not go into February and March worried about a deficit," Hultstrand said.
However, there still has not been enough snow to bring the snowpack in some regions back to normal. Two basins, the Upper Rio Grande and San Juan, were the only ones in the state to report below-normal snowpack: 82 percent of median for Upper Rio Grande and 79 percent for San Juan basin.
Streamflow forecasts for the spring and summer seasons are expected to improve, compared with last month's, for the northern part of the state, but decline for those two basins.
According to snow reports submitted by 345 U.S. resorts to http://www.OnTheSnow.com, Breckenridge Ski Resort's 123 inches of snow in January was 22 inches more than its closest competitor. Since Jan. 1, Breckenridge has received almost 11 feet of new snow.
Hultstrand said most water providers hope for at least a normal year, if not above average. At a lot of points farther downstream, water providers in other states pay attention to the snowpack because a low snowpack means a lot less water for them, she said.
"The good news about (early snow) is, when we have an early-season deficit like last year, it is really hard to reach normal conditions by the spring, since it tells us how much water is going to be available," she said.

I've been doing kitchen renovations for a long time. Everything the eye sees in a kitchen renovation is the eye candy.
What's behind it all? That's my world. But to this day, the question I get asked most about kitchen renovations is which is better? Granite or quartz?
In just about every kitchen renovation I do the homeowner wants granite. As consumers, we've been taught that a good kitchen will have granite countertops. Some homeowners even feel like the entire renovation is a failure if it doesn't come with a granite countertop.
Granite and quartz are the two heavyweights in kitchen countertops. But when we talk about kitchen countertops we have to think about practicality. Should it look good? Yes. Absolutely. But my top priority is that it's safe and does its job.
What does it mean for a kitchen countertop to be safe? That it's non-porous and has low VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
VOCs are bad for the environment and they're bad for anyone breathing them in. Pores are bad because they're tiny pockets for bacteria to collect. You can contaminate any food prepared on a porous surface that hasn't been properly cleaned.
What does it take for a kitchen countertop to do its job? It needs to be durable, stain-resistant and scratch-resistant.
Most people think granite is top of the line. But it depends.
Granite is natural rock. I love natural building materials - wood, stone, straw, whatever - and I love granite. But it has its drawbacks.
For one, it's expensive. Why? Because it's natural. This means it comes in one big slab of stone that needs to be extracted from the earth. Extracting and shipping granite takes a lot of energy. It can be harsh on the environment.
In nature, no two stones are equal. Every stone is different. And because granite is natural, it's not going to look the same throughout the entire slab. It might even look different from the sample you originally saw. The good news is that it's always beautiful. It just might not be exactly what you expected.
Also, because a granite countertop is a single slab, there's going to be a seam if your kitchen counters bend or curve. And because it's natural rock, the seam isn't easy to hide. It's hard to match up the natural colours and veins in granite.
On the other hand, quartz is manufactured and coloured. What you see is what you get. Your countertop will look exactly like the sample - there are no surprises. And because it's all one colour any seams can be hidden. This let's us be more creative with kitchen design.
Quartz countertops are actually about 90 per cent quartz and 10 per cent acrylic or epoxy binder, like resin. The resin means quartz countertops have higher VOCs than granite. And we know this is bad for the environment and indoor air quality.
But some granite contains radon. (Remember, granite is in the ground and so is radon.) It's usually not a huge concern. But if radon levels in your home are already an issue, granite might not be the best choice.
You'll also need to reseal granite once a year. Granite looks solid but it's porous. Quartz is not - its non-porous. So you'll need to seal a granite countertop but not a quartz countertop. It's no big deal - it takes less than an hour once a year.
Usually, a water-based penetrating (or impregnating) sealer does the trick. The silicone in the sealer works its way into the tiny pores and coats them. But it doesn't completely seal them. That means the surface will be stain-resistant but not stain proof. You'll still need to quickly clean up any spills, like coffee or wine.
Quartz isn't sealed so you don't have to worry about sealing or stains. A rag, soap and water are all you need. And if there are tough spots, usually a vinegar-water solution is enough.
If you're going with granite, you can't go cheap. Why not? Because when you do, you're usually getting a thin slab of granite. The thinner the slab the weaker it is. So what are you really buying? Know where the granite is coming from and how much of it you're getting.
In terms of strength, quartz performs. It's one of the hardest materials on earth - harder than glass. The way it's manufactured mimics the way granite is made naturally - through intense pressure and heat. So they're comparable in strength. But this process takes a lot of energy, which isn't ideal for the environment.
Granite or quartz, they're both good options. That's why they're both expensive. In some cases, quartz can be more expensive than granite. But both get a thumbs-up as long as they're properly installed by a professional who will make sure it's level and sealed - especially around the sinks and faucets to prevent water damage.
Bottom line: It comes down to the homeowner's budget, the kitchen's design, and how much upkeep the homeowner is willing to commit to.

Use these tips when your back aches.
Keep moving
If you can, walk for 10 to 20 minutes at a time every 2 to 3 hours. Walk on level surfaces, not on hills or stairs. Walk quickly if you can, and swing your arms as you walk.
Lying down for too long can make back pain worse. Sitting can make it worse too. Change positions every 30 minutes. If you must sit for long periods of time, take breaks. Get up and walk around, or lie flat to gently stretch your back.
Exercise helps low back pain. Learn about some exercises you can try:
When you do lie down, protect your back on the way down. And learn the sleeping positions that protect your back.
Ice and heat
There is no rule about using heat or ice for back pain. You can try each to see which works best for you.
Medicine for pain
Pain medicine can help you recover from low back pain by controlling pain during rest and activity. For best results:
For most low back pain, you can take over-the-counter pain medicine such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, for example) or ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (such as Aleve).
If you have been prescribed a muscle relaxant or an opiate for severe pain, carefully follow your doctor's advice.
Movement tips
Is it an emergency?
Most of the time you'll be able to handle low back pain at home. But there may be times when you need to call your doctor, or even 911. For more information, see the When to Call a Doctor section of the topic Low Back Pain.

There wasn't much left for the competition after the Summit High School Tigers Nordic teams took to the courses at the state championships in Eldora Thursday and Friday. The team bagged 10 of 12 podium spots in four events, helping the girls combined alpine and Nordic team lay claim to another state title. The boys team took third.
"That Nordic team is unbelievable," Summit alpine coach Karl Barth said of the strong performance.
In the two days of competition, Summit Nordic and alpine athletes combined to take top honors in five of eight total events — Nordic skate and classic, and alpine GS and slalom.
"We're really excited," junior Taeler McCrerey said of the win. She claimed the individual state title in both Nordic events, part of another dominating team performance by both the boys and girls.
"The Nordic team performed as well as we could have both days," Summit senior Cameron Bobb said. Bobb swapped podium spots with teammate Henry Trowbridge in group skate and classic individual competitions. Bobb took first in skate and second in classic; Trowbridge claimed the top spot in classic and second in skate.
"Henry and I have been going back and forth all season," Bobb said. Each won in his stronger discipline. "It's been nice having that friendly competition to keep us going."
The two were joined by teammate Joel Sawyer for a podium sweep in the skate competition.
"It was neat to sweep the podium with my two best friends," Bobb said.
Summit's Liam McDonnell almost completed another sweep in classic, finishing fifth, just 9 seconds out of third place. Sawyer was also in the mix, finishing seventh.
The girls team made a sweep of their own in classic, with Ruthie Boyd and Christa Gutzel finishing behind McCrerey.
Boyd joined McCrerey on the podium in skate with a second place finish. McCrerey applauded the team effort among the three girls in the group skate competition, saying the trio kept together through much of the race after a strong start.
"We were trying to work together," she said.
Gutzel took seventh in skate.
As to the girls team state win, McCrerey said, "We definitely pulled it off, thanks to the alpine team."
Summit's Anne Parker led the way in alpine, finishing first in slalom and second in giant slalom just, 0.98 seconds behind GS winner Haley Frischholz of Battle Mountain.
Teammate Danielle Moulten looked like she was on her way to claiming the state GS title after a first run 46.18 time — faster than any boys or girls single run — but she missed a gate late in her second run and chalked up a "DNF."
"Dani skied one turn short of a perfect weekend," Barth said. "She just shot right by the gate."
Moulten managed to come back strong on day two finishing fifth in slalom, 2.81 seconds behind Parker's winning time of 1:32,02.
"Dani bounced back really nicely," Barth said.
Summit's Ellie Brown-Wolf also gave a strong performance in slalom, finishing 10th.
The boys alpine team was able to contribute three top-20 finishes on day one in GS — Jack Farrell and Brian Coleman took 12th and 13th, and Jack Bilenduke 16th — putting the boys alpine and Nordic team in first place after the first day of competition. But they were unable to maintain the lead on day two.
"We were pretty surprised we were in the lead after day one," Barth said. "Slalom is always unpredictable. We couldn't duplicate it. It was kind of a bummer to come short on the second day."
First-year team member Slav Uglyar Ivanovich was the team's highest finisher in slalom, taking 24th.
With the strong Nordic team performance, the Summit boys held onto third, just four points behind No. 2 Battle Mountain. Aspen took the state title in boys alpine and Nordic.
Eight Tigers closed the season with all-state honors in either Nordic or alpine — Taeler McCrerey, Ruthie Boyd, Christa Gutzel, Henry Trowbridge, Cameron Bobb, Anne Parker and Danielle Moulten. The Nordic teams claimed league champion honors in boys classic and skate (tied with Aspen) and girls classic.

MOVIE REVIEW- Deep-six <i>Nine</i>: Pain by number
This year's 9 (not to be confused with "Nine," District 9, $9.99, or other nonary titles– did the studios all consult the same numerologist last year?– is a fantasy that's been animated better than it's been thought out.
You've seen the story many times. Scientists screwed up, the world blew up. A small band of survivors struggle to survive against some oppressive force without repeating the mistakes that almost destroyed civilization.
This time "all that's left of humanity" are eight-inch-tall rag dolls. They have googly, goggle-y eyes, and some have carved wooden hands and finely crafted metal parts; but everything is wrapped up in a tacky piece of burlap for a body.
With no sign of Pinocchio's good fairy, you may wonder how the Scientist who created these beings was able to give them life. There's some exposition near the end of the movie about their souls, but not how they're able to think and move, or what other bodily functions they're capable of. This would seem important if they're all that's left to repopulate the planet. Perhaps they can build more dolls using the Scientist's plans.
The ninth and last of the humanoids to be created, 9 (voiced by Elijah Wood) isn't quite finished when whatever happens to the Scientist (Alan Oppenheimer) happens. 9 leaves his home, and my thought that he might meet Dorothy on the road to Oz proved prescient if not quite accurate. Instead, he meets 2 (Martin Landau), who barely begins to educate him before the Beast, a giant, mechanical insectoid, carries 2 off.
Others of the original eight find 9 and bring him to their "sanctuary" in the ruins of a church. Their leader is 1 (Christopher Plummer) because he's the oldest and wisest, but he's also a conservative isolationist who's afraid to venture outside. When 9 wants to try to rescue 2, 1 vetoes it, saying 2 "chose his own path."
"A group must have a leader," 5 (John C. Reilly) counsels 9, who retorts, "But what if he's wrong?" and sets off anyway. 5 goes with him, and they're in deep doo-doo when 7 (Jennifer Connelly) appears and slays the Beast.
Right in front of them is the dormant Machine. Later, they will learn it was responsible for all the bad stuff that happened when it turned against its creators. Right now, 9 is concerned that he's found a spot on the Machine where he can plug in a thingy (later identified as the Talisman) he found at his birthplace, and you know how young men are about sticking things into things.
The Machine comes to life (how was it deactivated in the first place?) and there's a series of action scenes in which some of our heroes are either killed or captured, leading to more action scenes of rescue attempts. A big flying monster adds a little variety, but the sequences still become monotonous– or by-the-numbers, if you will.
With the constant cutting to the chase, we usually know what our heroes are fighting against, but not what they're fighting for. In each scene, 9 is trying to survive or rescue a friend, but he has no long-term goal.
The Czech-inspired animation looks good, the action will please the kids, and the post-apocalyptic scenario may interest you if you're not tired of seeing it developed better in other films.
Director Shane Acker expanded 9 from an 11-minute short he made as a thesis film that won an Oscar nomination. Pamela Pettler, who collaborated on screenplays for Monster House and Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, gets the credit, such as it is, for writing the long version. Burton and Timur Bekmambetov are among 9's producers, so Acker's short obviously inspired a lot of confidence. He may still prove worthy of it, but 9 is only a partial success.

William and Kate have night at the Museum — in 3D
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge left Prince George with a babysitter Wednesday night as they enjoyed a night out together for a 3D film.
Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, attended a gala screening of Natural History Museum Alive 3D, a new Sir David Attenborough film that brings some fascinating — and ferocious — creatures to life in all their three-dimensional glory.
"Inside they were shown to their seats in the grand entrance — which houses the museum's most famous resident, a diplodocus called Dippy — which had been turned into a screening room and handed a pair of 3D glasses each. Popcorn and cinema-style sweets had been left on every chair," the Daily Mail reported. "The Duchess giggled as she was handed her glasses but gamely donned them alongside her husband."
The Express says that in the film "Britain's favourite natural history television presenter stays behind at the museum in South Kensington as the doors are locked and night falls, meeting dinosaurs, ice age beasts and giant reptiles which come alive in front of his eyes."
Kate wore a stunning, floor-length black lace Temperley gown that has apparently been seen at least twice before.
"The $4,055 long-sleeve gown is clearly a favourite of Kate's and one that works very well for a variety of occasions," noted the Duchess Kate fashion blog, adding that Kate completed her ensemble with her Jimmy Choo pumps, a diamond necklace and diamond earrings.
"The black lacy number, called Amoret, is more daring than the Duchess's usual outfit choices thanks to its plunging neckline and figure-hugging fishtail style," commented the Daily Mail. "She has worn it on two public engagements before — to the War Horse premiere in January 2012 and then at a fundraising night for her former university, St. Andrews, in November of the same year."
As always, Kate wore her blue sapphire engagement ring, which had once belonged to Prince William's mother, Princess Diana.
Kate is a patron of the Museum.
"William and I are just two of millions of people who have passed through these doors, and marveled at the spectacular wonders of the natural world, housed in this beautiful gallery," the Museum's website quotes Kate as saying after opening one of its exhibits in November 2012. "I care passionately about what this museum stands for."
