Great idea but doesn't work. I downloaded it to keep the screen on when I use my Bluetooth keyboard but screen still goes off after 30 seconds
Works perfectly on note 4 with lollipop, only thing I don't like is it keeps the hardware keys lit up as well as the screen.
4*$ not bad.
Chido Wow!

Gravity Screen - On/Off
It turns automatically the screen off when you put your phone into your pocket or onto a table. And turns the screen on when you take it out or up. No need to touch any button and you are ready to go. It's especially helpful if your lock key is hard to reach or the power button is broken.
The most popular screen on/off app. Reviewed by LifeHacker, MakeUseOf, TheNextWeb and many others ...
• Wider range in Table Sensor
In the Pro version:
The most popular screen on/off app. Reviewed by LifeHacker, MakeUseOf, TheNextWeb and many others ...
• Pocket Sensor: Turns the screen off if your phone is in your pocket.
• Table Sensor: Detects your phone is lying on a table and turn it off if not in use.
• Turn Screen On by Motion: If the screen is off and it's facing up the device can be woken up by moving it.
• Keep Screen On by Motion: It keeps the screen on while you are watching the screen. It relies on the small movements of your hand while holding the device.
• Smart Lock support: It's a workaround to make the Smart lock feature work fine on devices with Lollipop.
• Locale plug-in for: Tasker, Llama and others
• Wider range in Table Sensor
• Turn Screen On by Motion Timeout can be set above 15 minutes
• Exclude Apps option (except Lollipop): Gravity screen is paused while selected app is running
• Widgets, PowerToggles plug-in
VERSIONS: FREE vs. PRO vs. UNLOCKED by IN-APP PURCHASE (recommended)
In the Pro version:
• there is no 15 minutes limit for turning the screen on by motion.
• Table sensor can be set more precisely.
Unlocked version has everything what Pro has, plus it has:
• Exclude App list (except Lollipop)
• more advanced Delayed lock option
• Widgets.
It should be not significant. I experienced about 6 per cent extra consumption on the test device. However it can be much higher by often using the Turn Screen On by Motion feature. Thus, keep your phone face down if you want to save energy.
Where is the Pro version? I cannot find it on Play Store
The Pro version is discontinued unfortunately, due to security reasons.
To change to the Unlocked version, please, do the followings:
- unlock the Free version by In-app Purchase
- send me the two purchase numbers or the two receipts you got from Google Play (Pro and Unlocked)
- and I'll refund the purchase of the Pro version
Sorry for the inconveniences.

The Makeover
Published: January 19, 2003
(Page 4 of 9)
''I think he was enjoying himself immensely,'' says Mansour El-Kikhia, a Libyan émigré who teaches international relations at the University of Texas in San Antonio and who has long been one of Qaddafi's staunchest critics. ''Think of it. You have $10 billion a year at your disposal to do with what you want. Every word you utter is God-given. Twenty-four hours a day, you see your face plastered everywhere. It's the ultimate power trip, and after a while the only way to satisfy it is to keep getting more.''
By the 80's, however, Qaddafi had drawn the enmity of a powerful new adversary in President Ronald Reagan. While diplomatic relations with Libya had been scaled back under President Carter, Reagan severed them completely and then set out to lure Qaddafi into a confrontation by testing Libyan territorial claims off the country's Mediterranean coast. When Qaddafi took the bait, American planes shot down two Libyan fighters. Before the end of his first year in office, Reagan ordered all Americans remaining in Libya -- some 1,500, mostly oil workers -- to leave or face legal action, and in 1982 he placed a blanket embargo on Libyan oil.
At first, this seemed only to goad Qaddafi to further adventurism against the West. During an anti-Qaddafi demonstration in London in 1984, shots fired from inside the Libyan Embassy killed a British policewoman. The next year, Palestinian terrorists hijacked the Achille Lauro, an Italian cruise ship, killing one elderly American. The mastermind was later given a hero's welcome in Tripoli, and the United States charged Libya with involvement in the operation. On April 5, 1986, came the bombing of La Belle disco in West Berlin in which a Turkish woman and two American serviceman were killed, an attack that the C.I.A. quickly concluded was the handiwork of Libyan agents and that precipitated the American bombing that destroyed Qaddafi's home in the Bab el-Azziziya Barracks.
Thereafter, Libya became noticeably quieter, although not -- as American and British investigators would conclude -- reformed. On the night of Dec. 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was blown apart over the Scottish village of Lockerbie, killing all 259 on board and another 11 on the ground. After a massive three-year criminal investigation, two Libyan intelligence agents were charged as the principal conspirators. When Libya refused to hand the men over for trial in Scotland, the United States and Great Britain led a successful campaign in the United Nations for international sanctions. Although the U.N. sanctions were not nearly as sweeping as those already in place by the United States -- the U.N. imposed a travel ban and an embargo against oil-industry spare parts and technology -- they had the effect of virtually isolating Libya from the rest of the world. And just like that, with a speed and thoroughness that few had imagined, Qaddafi and his rogue state seemed to fairly fall off the map.
But just what caused Libya to suddenly go quiet? The answer, it seems, might provide lessons on how to handle other regimes that the United States finds troublesome, like those of Iraq and North Korea, and might suggest solutions far less messy than military invasion. Unfortunately, among Libyan experts, no single answer emerges.
''I think it was probably a combination of factors,'' says Mary-Jane Deeb, an Arab specialist at the Library of Congress. ''Certainly, the U.N. sanctions were a big factor, in that Libya was now a true pariah state. Qaddafi could no longer play the David versus Goliath game, because the whole world was against him. At the same time, world oil prices had dropped significantly, so he simply didn't have the kind of money to throw around like before, and the sanctions compounded this by making everything much more expensive in Libya. Also, Qaddafi has just gotten older. He is no longer the young firebrand he once was, and if not wiser, he has certainly grown more sedate. I think for a long time he has yearned to be seen as a kind of elder statesmen in the region, and that can't happen when you've been essentially quarantined.''
A darker view is taken by El-Kikhia, the Libyan exile at the University of Texas. ''Qaddafi is a master of illusion,'' he argues, ''and he learned very early on who to antagonize and who not to. After Lockerbie, it was not fashionable to overtly support terrorism. His novelty had worn off in Europe; all his neighbors were fed up with him and happy to see him put in a box -- they certainly weren't going to help him break the sanctions -- so now he has to reinvent himself once again. So he becomes a changed man, a man of peace, a defender of human rights.'' El-Kikhia gives a bitter little laugh. ''I always believed that lying was a learned trait, but with Qaddafi I believe it is genetic.''
Perhaps the only person who could provide a truly authoritative explanation for Libya's shift is Qaddafi himself, but on this point, he preferred to deal in abstractions. ''The history of mankind is not fixed,'' he offered, ''and it does not go at one pace. Sometimes it moves at a steady pace, and sometimes it is very fast. It is very flexible all the time. The past stage was the era of nationalism -- of the identity of one nation -- and now, suddenly, that has changed. It is the era of globalization, and there are many new factors which are mapping out the world.''

Black Moon is a 1934 crime film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Jack Holt, Fay Wray, and Dorothy Burgess.[1] It is based on a short story by Clements Ripley that first appeared in Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan.[2]
A young girl, Juanita, finds her parents killed in a voodoo ritual on a distant tropical island. She escapes with her life, but when she reaches adulthood, she feels compelled to return to the island, bringing her daughter and nanny with her. Once there, she goes to stay with her uncle who lives on the island. She soon discovers that the natives, who had been using her for voodoo rituals when she was a child, now treat her as a voodoo goddess. In this role, she begins leading their rituals.
Any attempt to fight Juanita's influence or to remove her from her position is met with violent force. One person is found dead in a lava pit, while another is found hung. At one point, Juanita is so overcome by the voodoo curse that she offers her daughter up for sacrifice. Juanita's businessman husband, Stephen, follows her to the island and attempts to travel into the jungle to rescue her, but finds her taking part in a sacrifice of an innocent woman. Although he shoots the high priest of the tribe, Juanita completes the sacrifice herself.
Their high priest injured, the natives now plan to murder all of the white people on the island. Stephen takes his daughter and two others into the fortified section of a plantation house. The natives succeed in capturing Stephen and his secretary, Gail, but they eventually rescued. In the end, Stephen shoots and kills Juanita just as she is about to sacrifice her own daughter.

Looks like the trial of a new sanitizing procedure bit Bells in the butt. The company is voluntarily recalling two bottled batches of Two Hearted Ale--batches 9663 & 9674.Bells Official StatementStatement on Beer Advocate
So sad.......
Oh my god, I had a sixer that I finished last week. I had a couple bottles that seemed "funky." Honestly I thought it was my tastebuds. I had cooked salmon for dinner that night, so I thought it was just a bad combination of the salmon and the beer.
It was bottle 4 and 5. The next day I finished bottle 6 and it tasted fine. So I just figured it was me.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Still got an empty? You can see if it's one of the tainted batch numbers.
I BOUGHT A WHOLE PHUCKING CASE OF THE BAD BATCH!!!!! It was for a party, and I knew it was infected immediately....but my friends had managed to guzzle a sixer of it before I had one to notice....I'm definitely getting a refund or exchange, the stuff is expensive.
I had one at a buddies house back on the 7th of May that I could have sworn wasn't right.... Very astringent... Wonder if it's from the bad batch.
On tap:
My best IPA
Paddlers Pale Ale
On Deck:
3% Summer Session IPA
SNPA inspired pale ale.
Brewing this week:
Irish Red.
Good for Bell's to call it out and ask for bottles back. Not every brewery would do this.
very commendable in my opinion.
We had a couple of Oberons from this years batch that seemed very off. Too bad no recalls on that.

This article examines associations between biological father's incarceration and internalizing and externalizing outcomes of depression and serious delinquency, across White, Black, and Hispanic subsamples of youth in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Among respondents whose father was first incarcerated during childhood or adolescence, father's incarceration is found to be associated with increased depression and delinquency. On the whole, results indicate that associations between father's incarceration and depression and delinquency do not vary by race and ethnicity or gender. One exception is among Hispanic respondents, for whom having a biological father incarcerated is associated with an even higher propensity of delinquency than among White and Black respondents with incarcerated fathers.

What a great race today! Congrats to Tony Stewart and the Home Depot crew on a well-raced win! (I will have more tomorrow).

The Silver Bullet won't slow you down…Posted by in General - (0 Comments)
- Yes I know… that is a beer commercial…but it was the first snappy (so says me) title with the word bullets in it that came to my head.
- I have recently decided that I really want a playstation 2 or 3 or an xbox 360. Why? So I can play NASCAR 08…and that is the only reason. Hee hee. Seriously I really want to play it. Pogo.com has an EA web version of nascar racing and I play it sometimes. I always race at Bristol as Tony Stewart and I have been getting pretty good. My best finish? Third! I raced once at Atlanta and kept crashing…boo me.
- I can pretty much guarantee that my subscription to Nascar Illustrated will start sometime this week. How? I broke down and bought the copy that is on stands today. You would have thought I would have learned my lesson last month with my CROCHET TODAY subscription that I did the same thing with. But NOOOO I just don't learn.
- Is it weird that I am incredibly excited that James Denton is the Grand Marshall of the Brickyard 400 race this weekend? (Um…No…he is super hot should be your answer).
- Now that I have finished Harry Potter, I am onto Driver #8 and I am only a couple pages in and I can tell you that I am going to love this book! It will chronicle Dale Earnhardt Junior's rookie year as a cup driver and I am just on the Daytona 500 section (basically the first chapter) but I have found some passages so interesting that I have to stop and read them to my mom (who is a big Jr. Fan).
- Heads up! Soon I will be leaving on a short vacation/belated birthday celebration where BFM and I are meeting up in a top secret locale to celebrate her birthday in person with good food and fun times. Rumors are we may be joined by a big mouse and a wicked witch…and a concert. I hope some peeps will guest post for me…to keep you all entertained whilst I am out and about having fun without you.
- I hate it when starbucks makes me the wrong drink and I don't notice it until I leave. Now I am stuck with a black tea lemonade…that is really a green tea lemonade and I hate their green tea because it has these weird spearminty undertones that is gross in lemonade.
Racers were meant to race…Posted by in General - (2 Comments)
This last weekend was an off weekend in Nascar world. No race meant for me that I didn't have to worry about setting my dvr (I usually watch the races when they air…but sometimes things happen and I can't…). From what I read, some drivers went on short vacations, some spent time with their families and some drivers…well they raced anyway. It doesn't seem weird to me at all…I work on computers all day…but sometimes when I go home- I will go on my computer and fiddle and play…because I like computers.
Carl Edwards was doing just that last weekend…he was racing at a dirt track and he happened to crash and injured his thumb when he did. Now some people think that Cup drivers shouldn't be out there playing in the dirt (or other racing venues) when they have an obligation to race in their cup car nearly every weekend. In this weeks SPEEDMAIL, Larry McRenyolds states that these drivers are taking too much of a risk by competing in alternate forms of racing…other than their Cup cars….specifically dirt track racing.
However I don't think that is the case. Many of the Cup drivers come from roots in dirt track racing…and a lot of them (Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne) like to go back and throw some dirt (or slide on pavement) on their off days. It is like going home. Yeah they can get hurt. But they can also get hurt driving (or walking) down the street to buy a gallon of milk (or messing around in golf carts…just ask Jimmie Johnson). I can only imagine the amount of adrenaline running through your veins as you loop around a track going 180 mph or more…so sitting at home playing video games probably doesn't have the same thrill….I think you would rather have your driver running around a dirt track somewhere instead of oh…I dunno…jumping out of planes or other hair-brained stunts fueled by a need for adrenaline amongst other things. At least this way they are relatively protected and know what they are doing….I really don't see a problem with it. To me it would be like telling a professional football player he couldn't play some football with his buds on Sunday on the off season…or like telling a librarian she can't go home and read books….
FINISHED! (no spoilers)Posted by in General - (0 Comments)
I finally finished!!! Despite a hellacious work day I was able to finish Harry Potter!! Yey me. Feel free to leave comments if you want to discuss the outcome of the book with me.
Posting may be a little light…Posted by in General - (3 Comments)
I will be reading Harry Potter (DO NOT SPOIL IT FOR ME LESS YOU WANT ME TO HATE YOU!) provided I get a copy with no reservation tomorrow (I am hoping I will).
If I post anything about the book I shall be sure to mark the posts as spoilers and hide the main part of the entry. I am not a fast reader so please do not spoil it for me!
Chrissy was right…Posted by in General - (2 Comments)
Chrissy made a comment on one of my RoxyBlog entries…stating that looking at a picture of Roxy made her day better. I am having a bad day and then my dad finally emailed me (he has trouble left hand mousing) this picture that I took with his camera the other day.
This is that picture of Miss Roxy I was referring too when I told you I had taken the best picture of Roxy with my dad's camera. I was going to save it for tomorrow…but I will think up something new to post about tomorrow.
The Antiques Roadshow MI-5 and Friday Fill-in 29Posted by in General - (1 Comments)
Bill says: This week's MI-5 is based of the most recent "Antiques Roadshow" I saw on PBS. They were in Portland, I think.
1) For the kid who brought in the Summer, Winter, and Fall figurines (Spring was missing): Do you have something that you've held onto, even though it's missing some pieces, or may even be broken? What is it? Why do you hang onto it?
Every year for my birthday my maternal grandma gave us these birthday porcelain angels. Well as a young child I thought they were stupid and I actually played with them…and wound up breaking several. I still have them superglued together. I don't know why I keep them. Part sentimental I guess and part just because I am a packrat. (more…)
I've got just a little today and its mostly about dogs.Posted by in General - (0 Comments)
I am trying to keep up with my blogging roll I have been on lately…but I really don't have much to talk about today. I really REALLY wanted to share with you this awesome picture I took of Miss Roxy the best beagle in the world…(ok so that is an exaggeration) but I can't share it with you? Why Because when I took it? I took it with my dad's camera so it is stuck in his camera until he figures out how to mouse lefthanded because NO ONE touches his computer equipment (nor do they want to..because then if he has a problem with it? It is all on you…even though you touched it like three months ago for three minutes). You will have to trust me she is darling in the picture..even though I had to corner her behind a chair to get the picture.
What else? Oh…while we are on the topic of dogs…I have been reading about the Atlanta Falcon's football player indited on charges of running a dog fighting outfit. I have been trying to put into words the complete disgust I have about it…but there are no words for how abominable the actions they took were. Not to mention their unhumane methods of putting down the injured dogs or puppies that weren't aggressive enough for them (electrocution? Body slamming puppies on the ground? Hanging?). I just can't imagine anyone being so cruel to animals.

Boise's Concordia Law School Waiting for ABA Accreditation View Count: 253
The Concordia Law School in Boise will need to wait a little bit longer to find out if the first graduating class will receive permission to practice law in the state of Idaho, according to Boise State Public Radio.
Concordia's class of 2015 is scheduled to graduate 40 students and the school was supposed to learn its fate on Monday regarding their ability to take the bar exam following graduation. The American Bar Association instead told the school that they will need to wait even longer before a decision is made.
The school does not hold accreditation from the ABA. A multi-year accreditation process is required by the ABA for every new law school. Concordia opened its doors in the fall of 2012, which means they have not reached the three-year period yet. Enrolling in the school was a risk students knew they were taking at the time.
In an ideal world, the law school will have obtained provisional accreditation by 2015. This would permit the first law graduates to take the bar exam in Idaho. The ABA said that instead of voting either way on provisional accreditation, it wants more time to make a decision. A fact finder will be appointed by the ABA's Council on Legal Education so the school can be looked at further.
Concordia's request to have its class of 2015 graduates take the start bar exam was denied by the Idaho Supreme Court no matter what the accreditation status of the school is at the time.Concordia Law School Still Waiting for Accreditation Decision from ABA by Jim Vassallo

Freedreno Running On Nexus 4 With The GNOME Shell
Published on 02 June 2013 07:55 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
9 Comments
Gallium3D graphics driver that's a reverse-engineered incarnation of the Qualcomm Snapdragon driver, has support for the A320 graphics core coming along quite well. The A320 found in the Nexus 4 is now running the Freedreno 3D driver and can even handle bearing the load of the GNOME Shell desktop.
Rob Clark, the principal developer behind Freedreno, has the Google Nexus 4 with Qualcomm A320 running atop the Freedreno Gallium3D driver along with XA 2D acceleration over xf86-video-freedreno. The
XA 2D acceleration is new
to Freedreno and pipes 2D calls over the OpenGL engine, which is needed since the A320 goes without a 2D engine.
The patches still need to be cleaned-up before they can be mainlined, but should be coming soon. More details on
Rob's blog
and embedded below is a video of Freedreno on the Nexus 4 running the GNOME Shell.
