can i change the poll rate,QueuedPollRate,ResponsePollRate of END DEVICE and take effect in run-time without reset CC2530ZNP or resart ZIGBEE stack?
I try to change the END DEVICE from sleeping mode to no-sleeping mode for max performance sometime in running,how can i do?
Hi Licheng,
You can use NLME_SetPollRate(), NLME_SetQueuedPollRate(), and NLME_SetResponseRate() to change polling rate, queuedpollrate and resplonsepollrate of end device anytime when you need to.

YiKai Chen Hi Licheng, You can use NLME_SetPollRate(), NLME_SetQueuedPollRate(), and NLME_SetResponseRate() to change polling rate, queuedpollrate and resplonsepollrate of end device anytime when you need to. Regards! YK Chen
Thank you,but i am using the CC2530ZNP spi interface in the design,does the ZNP support the NLME APIs?As far as i know,it only supports the simple API,AF API and ZDO API.
For these 3 poll rates, you can changes them on the ZNP from the Application Processor (ZAP) side by writing to their corresponding NV item. Use this ZAP API:
uint8 znp_nv_write(uint16 id, uint8 ndx, uint8 len, void *buf)
So for the poll rate:
uin16 newPollRate = 2000; // Poll every 2 seconds.
(void)znp_nv_write(ZCD_NV_POLL_RATE, 0, 2, &newPollRate);
Be careful when changing the poll rates - FFD devices only hold indirect messages for 6-7 seconds by default:
but it seens that this only will take effect after resetting the ZNP chip or restarting the ZSTACK,not immediately.
I agree, it does seem like it would only take effect after a reset, but it is effected immediately as well - take a look at the function MT_SysOsalNVWrite() in mt_sys.c:
/* Set the Z-Globals value of this NV item. */ zgSetItem( nvId, (uint16)nvItemLen, pBuf );
That is the magic line that makes it effective immediately.
Dirty Harry,
thank you very much,i will check the znp codes and have a test about this!And i will be back and verify your answer if it works well.Thank you!
Hello Harry,
I had done the simple test,but the result is that it seens the codes didn't take effect.
My simple codes is something like these:
if((*recvBuf).msgData[4]=='A') { setPollRate(10); }
else if((*recvBuf).msgData[4]==B') { setPollRate(1000); }
I am sure when in running and the ((*recvBuf).msgData[4]=='A') is TRUE,the 'setPollRate(10)' had been run,but the CC2530ZNP still kept the default pollRate(1000ms).And if i setPollRate(10) in the znpInit() function,the pollRate could be changed succefully.
So,did i miss something?
Hello - I do not see 'setPollRate()' in the ZAP code base; so perhaps it is your own function and there is a problem in that function? I just re-verified that my suggestion works to dynamically change the POLL_RATE of an end device via the MT API.
Hello,the setPollRate() is the function is the CC2530ZNP mini KIT example codes,
void setPollRate(unsigned int pollRate){ // if ((pollRate == 0) || (pollRate > 65000))// {// znpResult = -1;// return; // }#ifdef ZNP_INTERFACE_VERBOSE printf("Setting ZCD_NV_POLL_RATE to %u\r\n", pollRate);#endif znpBuf[0] = ZB_WRITE_CONFIGURATION_LEN + ZCD_NV_POLL_RATE_LEN; znpBuf[1] = MSB(ZB_WRITE_CONFIGURATION); znpBuf[2] = LSB(ZB_WRITE_CONFIGURATION); znpBuf[3] = ZCD_NV_POLL_RATE; znpBuf[4] = ZCD_NV_POLL_RATE_LEN; znpBuf[5] = LSB(pollRate); znpBuf[6] = MSB(pollRate); znpResult = sendMessage();
I found out this function only will take effect after the CC2530ZNP reset or ZSTACK restart.
And i didn't check the ZAP code,because i used ZNP firmware.I do know what is the difference between the ZAP firmware and the ZNP firmware.But in the ZNP firmware codes,i checked the MT_SYS.C and the function MT_SysOsalNVWrite(uint8 *pBuf),according the doucument CC2530ZNP interface, i could not figure out how to use this function to change the poll rate.Could you show me the way with example codes?I appreciate that.
And I already had a solution actually,i modified the MT_SYS.C, and added on my own function with cmd 0x2150,I named this function MT_SysSetPollRate(pBuf).This function would call the NLME_SetPollRate, NLME_SetQueuedPollRate,NLME_SetResponseRate to change the poll rate in run-time and take effect immediately.This is the working way i had found so far.
void MT_SysSetPollRate(uint8 *pBuf){ uint8 str[]="OK"; uint16 val1=1000; uint16 val2=100; uint16 val3=100; /* Skip over RPC header */ pBuf += MT_RPC_FRAME_HDR_SZ; val1 = BUILD_UINT16(pBuf[0], pBuf[1]); val2 = BUILD_UINT16(pBuf[2], pBuf[3]); val3 = BUILD_UINT16(pBuf[4], pBuf[5]); NLME_SetPollRate( val1 ); NLME_SetQueuedPollRate( val2 ); NLME_SetResponseRate( val3 ); /* Build and send back the response */ MT_BuildAndSendZToolResponse(((uint8)MT_RPC_CMD_SRSP | (uint8)MT_RPC_SYS_SYS), MT_SYS_SET_POLL_RATE, 2,str);}
Hello - unfortunately, I do not have any experience working with the ZNP mini-kit code. Although from the snippet that you show, I see that the poll rate is not being changed the way that I recommended, which would be to invoke this via ZAP (ZNP Application Processor, or "host" computer, controlling the ZNP as a network slave device) code:
The body of ZAP code is downloaded from here:
swrc173.zip (57.0MB) - contains ZStack-ZAP-MSP430-1.0.4.exe (the ZigBee Applications processor to be used with MSP430 product family).
So, what is znp_nv_write()? It is intuitive from the name: a request to write to an NV item on the ZNP. How to implement a write to NV on the ZNP from the host application via the MT API? Use the MT_SYS_OSAL_NV_WRITE command. The item that we want to write is the poll rate: ZCD_NV_POLL_RATE or item id 0x0024. Let's set it to 5000 instead of the default of 1000.
So building the SREQ MT message should be this:
SOP LEN MT_RPC_CMD_SREQ-MT_RPC_SYS_SYS MT_SYS_OSAL_NV_WRITE ZCD_NV_POLL_RATE Offset Len Value FCS
0xFE 0x06 0x21 0x09 0x24 0x00 0x00 0x02 0x88 0x13 0x93
It helps to look at the files MT.h & MT_RPC.h.
Hi licheng Li
Did you get it working in CC2530 ZNP Mini. I get the following pulses in between my 4 sec transmission intervals:
I want to minimize those mini peaks to say once, between those 4 seconds, any ideas pls help!!!
Iam using CC2530 ZNP Mini
Hi, it is the CC2530 ZNP Mini which i am using,and i didn't found any problem.
What code did you use in your problem?
Hi Li,
Iam also using CC2530 ZNP Mini, running simple application code.
I had put up the same question in another forum to which I got the response to consider the the poll rate. Posting one of the posts in that query here:
I read about ZCD_NV_POLL_RATE and figured out, it is set by void setPollRate(unsigned int pollRate) function in znp_interface.c, however amazingly there is no call to that function in Simple Application - End Device code (searched manually and ctrl+F deep search). So I manually included the following lines of code in startZnp (@znp_simpleapp_utils.c) after znpReset
setPollRate(2000); if (znpResult != ZNP_SUCCESS) return -11;/**/
which provides me this plot:
which was earlier, (before the above manual setPollRate(2000) inclusion):
While that is certainly a difference in the plot, I couldnt map the 2000mS, and more importantly, how is that 1Sec interval set by default with no call to setPollRate in original Simple Application - End Device. Atleast, if I know the root of that 1Sec interval and how it is set (since setPollRate is not called exclusively), I could further dig around.

Pétanque (pronounced "pay-tonk") originated in Provence, France at the turn of the last century. It's played with metal balls (boules) and, like horseshoes and bocce, is easy to learn and fun to play. You throw the boules while standing with your feet together in a circle. There's a small wooden target ball (the cochonnet), which you have to get as close as possible to. What makes the game so appealing, is that you can be way ahead for a while, yet lose a second later, or vice versa. Because not …

Summary of Missouri Sunshine Law
Missouri's commitment to openness in government is clearly stated in Section 610.011 of the Sunshine Law: "It is the public policy of this state that meetings, records, votes, actions, and deliberations of public governmental bodies be open to the public unless otherwise provided by law. Sections 610.010 to 610.200 shall be liberally construed and their exceptions strictly construed to promote this public policy."
The law sets out the specific instances when a meeting, record or vote may be closed, while stressing these exceptions are to be strictly interpreted to promote the public policy of openness.
Public meetings, including meetings conducted by telephone, Internet or other electronic means, are to be held at reasonably convenient times and must be accessible to the public. Meetings should be held in facilities that are large enough to accommodate anticipated attendance by the public and accessible to persons with disabilities.

Public governmental bodies and quasi-public governmental bodies
Public governmental bodies 610.010(4)
The Sunshine Law governs the actions of public governmental bodies, which are defined as legislative, administrative or other governmental entities created by the constitution or statutes of this state, or by order or ordinance of any political subdivision or district as well as judicial entities when operating in an administrative capacity.
This includes not just state agencies and officials, but also governing bodies of institutions of higher education; and any department of any political subdivision of the state, county or municipal government, school district or special-purpose district, including sewer and water districts. The term "governmental body" is defined to include "quasi-public governmental bodies," which are defined in Section 610.010(4)(f). Those entities that regularly enter into contracts with public governmental bodies or perform certain types of public functions (such as issuing tax credits) should review this definition to determine whether they must comply with the Sunshine Law.
The Missouri Sunshine Law governs only state, local and quasi-public governmental bodies. Federal officers and agencies are covered by the federal Freedom of Information Act.
[ back to top ]
Sunshine policy 610.028
Each public governmental body shall provide a reasonable written policy consistent with the Sunshine Law and open to the public regarding access to public records and meetings.
[ back to top ]
Meeting Notices 610.020
At least 24 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) before a public meeting, the public body must prominently post a notice of the meeting in its principal office. If there is no such office, the public body should post the notice at the meeting place. The notice must include:
- Time of meeting;
- Date of meeting;Place of meeting;
- Tentative agenda of an open meeting; and
- Whether the meeting is open or closed.
If the public body intends to hold a meeting by conference call or other electronic means, the notice must specify the location where the public may observe and attend that meeting. If the public body meets via Internet or other computer link, it shall post a notice on its Web site in addition to posting the notice at its principal office.
If exceptional circumstances prevent the public body from posting notice 24 hours in advance or prevent the meeting from being held at a convenient time or in a place reasonably accessible to the public, the reasons should be stated in the meeting's minutes.
[ back to top ]
Public Records 610.010, 610.023, 610.024, 610.026
Unless otherwise provided by law, records of a public governmental body are to be open and available to the public for inspection and copying. The governmental body may charge up to 10 cents per page for standard copies and the actual cost of the copy for larger or specialized documents (such as maps, photos and graphics). The body also may charge a reasonable fee for the time necessary to search for and copy public records. Research time may be charged at the actual cost incurred to locate the requested records. Copying time shall not exceed the average hourly rate of pay for clerical staff of the public body. A public body may reduce or waive costs when it determines the request is made in the public interest and is not made for commercial purposes.
The term "public record" includes records created or maintained by private contractors under an agreement with a public governmental body or on behalf of a public governmental body.
Each public governmental body must appoint a custodian of records. The Sunshine Law requires that each request for access to a public record be acted on no later than the end of the third business day following the date the request is received by the custodian. If access is denied, the custodian must explain in writing and must include why access is denied, including the statute that authorizes the denial.
If only part of a record may be closed to review, the rest of the record must be made available.
The law also requires that if a request is made in a particular format, the custodian shall provide the records in that format if it is available.

E-mails among members of public bodies 610.025
If a member of a public body transmits an e-mail relating to public business to at least two other members of the body so that, when counting the sender, a majority of members are copied, a copy of the e-mail shall be sent to either the custodian of records, or the member's public office computer. Any such message, subject to the exceptions of Section 610.021, shall be considered a public record upon receipt by the custodian or at the public member's computer.

Closed meetings and records 610.021, 610.022
A public governmental body is permitted, but not required, to close its meetings, records and votes when they relate to certain issues listed in Section 610.021. When a public body relies on one of these exceptions to close a meeting or record, it should bear in mind that the exceptions are to be read narrowly under Section 610.011. Matters that may be closed include:
- Legal actions, causes of action or litigation (except that votes, minutes and settlement agreements must be opened to the public on final disposition, unless ordered closed by a court).
- Leasing, purchase or sale of real estate where public knowledge might adversely affect the amount paid in the transaction.
- Hiring, firing, disciplining or promoting a particular employee.
- Welfare cases of identifiable individuals.
- Software codes for electronic data processing.
- Individually identifiable personnel records.
- Records related to existing or proposed security systems.
- Records that are protected from disclosure by other laws.
When a public governmental body votes to meet in closed session, members must cite in open session the specific statute and subsection allowing closure. Once in closed session, the public body may not discuss any matter beyond the scope of the stated reason for the closed session. The public governmental body must close only that portion of the facility necessary for its members to conduct the closed meeting, allowing space for the public to remain and attend any later open session.

Who can bring legal action 610.027
Any Missouri taxpayer, citizen or aggrieved person, the Attorney General, or the county prosecutor may bring a court action to enforce the Sunshine Law. The lawsuit must be filed in the circuit court in the county where the public governmental body has its principal place of business. A lawsuit must be filed within one year from when the violation is ascertainable, and in no event shall it be brought later than two years after the violation occurred.
[ back to top ]
Penalties 610.027
If the court finds a public governmental body has violated the Sunshine Law, it may declare void any action taken in violation of the law. If the court finds, by a preponderance of evidence, that the public body or a member of the public body has knowingly violated the Sunshine Law, the court:
- Shall subject the member or body to a civil fine of up to $1,000; and
- May order the member or body to pay all costs and reasonable attorney fees to any party successfully establishing a violation.
If the court finds, by a preponderance of evidence, that the public body or member has purposely violated the Sunshine Law, the court shall:
- Subject the member or body to a civil fine of up to $5,000; and
- Order the member or body to pay all court costs and reasonable attorney fees.
If a public governmental body has any doubt about the legality of closing a particular meeting, record or vote, it may bring suit in the circuit court to determine whether the action is proper or it may seek a formal opinion from its own attorney or from the Attorney General.
[ back to top ]
Law Enforcement Agency Records
Law enforcement agency records 610.100-610.200
Law enforcement records are subject to separate provisions of the Sunshine Law. The law now provides, however, that law enforcement records are subject to the same presumption of openness that applies to other public records (Section 610.011).
In addition, an agency or officer who knowingly or purposely violates the Sunshine Law is subject to the same monetary penalties set out in Section 610.027.

NEW YORK, Aug 19 (Reuters) - General Motors Co is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit over a suspension problem on more than 400,000 Chevrolet Impalas from the 2007 and 2008 model years, saying it should not be responsible for repairs because the flaw predated its bankruptcy.
The lawsuit, filed on June 29 by Donna Trusky of Blakely, Pennsylvania, contended that her Impala suffered from faulty rear spindle rods, causing her rear tires to wear out after just 6,000 miles ...
John Penn, a former president of the American Bankruptcy Institute who is not involved in the case, said the question of "successor liability" is common for manufacturing companies that go through bankruptcy.
"The fact it comes up now is not a surprise, as this type of issue was widely discussed during GM's bankruptcy," said Penn, now a partner at Haynes and Boone in Fort Worth, Texas. "The court will need to evaluate the claims to see if they fit within any cubbyhole of liability that New GM assumed."

Incredible Cinematography and a decent film with it
By Bassman71 (701 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 09 Nov 2011Car bomb explodes on US/Mexican border, Police involved and suspect young Mexican, Mexican Drug Cop gets involved, corruption.
Excellent crime/thriller containing a very able cast with Orson Welles acting everyone off screen as the sleazy Captain Quinlan and good support from Janet Leigh, Joseph Calleia and a blacked-up Mexican Charlton Heston.
The main standout is the cinematography which is incredible and more so considering when it was shot and the technology available from big, sweeping shots to dark, shadowy & intimate close-ups.
Youve sort of guessed whats going to happen quite early on but was surprised how dark & gritty it was & Janet Leighs character has some brutal scenes to contend with later on.
Couple of nice cameos too from Zsa Zsa Gabor and Marlene Dietrich and a mention for Dennis Weaver who is brilliant as the hotel night manager.- Was this review helpful to you?

An interesting bit of film history
By heckmotor (5 reviews) from Banbury , 10 Nov 2010...but not hugely appealing as 21st Century entertainment. This is one for film enthusiasts, with its famously long and complex opening shot, iconic leading actors and direction, cameos from Zsa Zsa Gabor and Marlene Dietrich and the ironic twist at the very end. That said, the Vargas character is not convincing, some of the support acting pretty clunky - the motel night man absurdly OTT, and Vargas's wife naive to the point of disbelief. I wasn't really drawn into this film but watched it as an interesting period piece.- Was this review helpful to you?

Absurd plotline

text: Home Politics Why GOP's Southern Strategy Moved North The scariest voter-ID laws might be the ones that aren't in solidly red states. By: Edward Wyckoff Williams Posted: Aug. 2 2012 12:53 AM 0 Don Emmert/AFP/Getty Images (The Root) -- Republicans have devised an insidious plan to steal the 2012 presidential election, and it's a page torn from the history books about Jim Crow South. The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law compiled a comprehensive report showing that 24 new laws and two executive actions restricting the right to vote have passed in 19 states since 2011.The reason? GOP lawmakers claim that the laws are designed to combat voter fraud. But opponents of the laws, including the Justice Department, see them as the disenfranchisement of African-American voters -- and covert subversion of the Voting Rights Act -- that is central to the GOP's strategy for the 2012 elections. And the concerted effort to fulfill Sen. Mitch McConnell's No. 1 priority of making "Obama a one-term president" is being carried out with military precision. Perhaps a brief history lesson is in order. After the Civil War and emancipation in 1865, the right of suffrage was broadly exercised by freedmen. During Reconstruction, African-American men achieved high office in state legislatures as well as in the U.S. Congress. But a set of restrictive voting laws -- including poll taxes, literacy tests and grandfather clauses -- quickly reversed progress and led to 100 years of second-class citizenry. The remnants of this sordid past are still evident in the racial disparities present in our politics. Even today, with an African American in the Oval Office, not one sits in the Senate. The cultural divide that kept the American South solidly red and Republican after the civil rights era was so widely accepted as status quo that no one dared question it. That was, of course, until November 2008, when then-Sen. Barack Obama swept Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. He narrowed margins in states like South Carolina -- and garnered more of the military vote than had been anticipated, given John McCain's record as a war hero. The GOP quickly regrouped, perhaps realizing that in order to beat Obama in 2012, they would have to move their "Southern strategy" further north. First they set their sights on ACORN, a national community organization group responsible for registering 1.3 million new voters in 2008. African Americans, Hispanics, the urban poor and the elderly were ACORN's key constituencies. After being plagued by largely unfounded accusations of voter-registration fraud, the nonprofit was gutted as congressional Republicans denied federal funding. Several supporters of voter-ID laws cite ACORN as their reason. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. Next, conservatives took their plan nationwide. Fueling propaganda that millions of Mexican immigrants were draining government health care resources and voting illegally, Republicans pushed for stricter voter laws at the state level and harsher immigration policies. Why? One reason could be that Obama received 76 percent of the Hispanic vote -- and a growing coalition of Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans had made the nation's smaller conservative Cuban community less politically relevant. Abandoning President George W. Bush's more inclusive approach, the Tea Party-influenced GOP assumed that the Latino vote -- like the black vote -- wasn't worth courting. This is where Ohio and Pennsylvania become so crucially important, since poor and working-class whites make up a significant part of the electorate there.

Of all the bands currently celebrating more than 30 years together – without a reunion, might I add – synth-pop pioneers are definitely at the top of the list for consistency, quality and well, aging nicely… Especially considering what Dave Gahan has gone through (drugs, drugs and death). Back with a new album, Delta Machine (out March 26), the trio have unveiled their first single/video "Heaven." If we're to find some parallel to their prior work, I'd have to say it closely resembles the moodier, organic sound of 1993′s Songs of Faith & Devotion.

text: Home Culture The Crisis at Medgar Evers College The president of the predominantly black Brooklyn, N.Y., college has threatened to evict a think tank dedicated to prison-reform issues. Is there room for ex-convicts on campus? Or is this all about gentrification? By: Katti Gray Posted: Jan. 13 2011 12:24 AM 0 Dr. William Pollard (Roger Kisby/Getty Images Entertainment) The current standoff between William L. Pollard, the president of Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, N.Y., and a one-of-its-kind criminal justice think tank run on that campus by ex-prisoners with doctorates is emblematic of what researchers say is a widespread ambivalence over how to help the formerly incarcerated re-enter society. For almost six years Medgar Evers, a Brooklyn outpost of the City University of New York, has housed the Center for NuLeadership on Urban Solutions. The center is headed by formerly incarcerated researchers and has a national advisory board of academically pedigreed ex-prisoners who run prison-reform-related agencies. (Just over a year ago, the center was christened as a bona fide academic center in the City University system.) In December the think tank's leaders were taken by surprise when Pollard, a relative newcomer to the school, announced that he was evicting the center. "It says something when one of the largest urban universities in the country doesn't deem it appropriate for a center of this kind to exist," says Divine Pryor, the center's co-founder and executive director. (Pollard did not respond to phone calls from The Root requesting comment.) The Medgar Evers faculty recently issued a vote of no confidence in Pollard, conveying, in part, that he is betraying the mission of a college presumably dedicated to the academic needs of the urban poor and working class. Nevertheless, Pollard's administration has made it plain that the formerly incarcerated are not as welcome as they used to be at Medgar Evers, whose student population remains overwhelmingly black, despite a steady influx of white gentrifiers into the surrounding neighborhoods. Last week a state Supreme Court judge ordered Medgar Evers to return to NuLeadership computers that the administration had confiscated in mid-December but that were purchased independently by the center. On Feb. 10, the court will consider an injunction barring Medgar Evers from evicting NuLeadership. Roughly 650,000 of the incarcerated -- a disproportionate number of them African American -- are released from prisons annually. Most return to their communities of origin, where, at least in part, researchers say, their ability or inability to get a legitimate job determines whether they will remain law-abiding or revert to the criminality that landed many of them behind bars in the first place. "Education is so closely tied to employment. The data to prove that is remarkably clear," says criminal-defense and civil rights attorney Alan Rosenthal, co-director of Justice Strategies, the research, training and policy initiative of the Center for Community Alternatives in Syracuse, N.Y. "Use of a criminal record has become a race-neutral way for colleges to close their doors [to applicants]," Rosenthal says. "We do know," says Barmak Nassirian, a spokesman for AACRAO, the registrar association, "that many institutions are imposing disclosure requirements for ex-prisoners, but we have not collected data on any special programs." In 2004 then-President George W. Bush launched his landmark Prison Reentry Initiative, which was guided by the notion that even convicted felons deserve a second chance and that society is safer when ex-prisoners can find meaningful work. The initiative came in the middle of what has been roughly a decade of focus on returning prisoners who, researcher Rosenthal says, are also more likely to be viewed with suspicion, what with the heightened focus on terrorism and other crimes in the years since the 9/11 attacks.

It's hard to find fault with salad. You put a bunch of stuff of your own choosing into a bowl and mix it up. It may be difficult to find issue with that, but then there are the details to consider; little things that matter like how the veggies are cut.

Hand vs Machine Quilting Part 2: Pinning + Piecing
Now that I cut everything I can begin piecing. To me this is the fun part. It's when everything starts coming together and coming alive. -- Molly
Step 2: Pinning + Piecing by Hand
Pinning is another one of those things, like cutting, that should be done as precisely as possible. Luckily, it's a pretty simple skill to master. I like to use sharp, thin Clover patchwork pins for this kind of cotton because they are precise and leave no mark.
First I pin the corners of two of my squares right sides together. I always make sure that my pins are going right into the corners of my drawn seam lines on both pieces of fabric.
Next I pulled my seam line fairly taut and pinned the middle of it. For a longer piece I would have kept adding pins in this manner. You can't have too many pins! Don't hesitate to secure your seam with as many pins as you need.
Now it's time to sew. Hand piecing uses a simple running stitch, just in and out, in and out, in a straight line. I used 100% cotton thread, and hand-sewing needles known as sharps.
To start I took out my first pin and inserted my needle in it's place in the corner of my drawn line. Then I back-stitched on top of my first stitch, so there was no need to tie a knot. If you look closely you can see that I did tie a knot in the photographed pieces below and have since learned that I don't need to. I'm definitely still learning...blush!
Then I started my running stitch; in order to make the sewing faster, I kept my needle stationary and moved my fabric along it. I like to imagine my hand as a little sewing machine. I held my needle upward with my left hand. With my right hand I folded my fabric back and forth onto the needle as shown above. I made sure that every time I pierced my fabric I was going into the drawn seam line on both pieces of the fabric. I tried to keep my stitches uniformly small and even. I didn't always succeed but they got better as I went along.
After about 5 stitches were on on my needle I pulled my needle through, making sure that I didn't pull it too tight and pucker my fabric. I continued doing the same thing, starting with a back stitch, filling up my needle with running stitches, and pulling my needle through, until I reached the end of my drawn line. At the end of the seam I back-stitched a few times and cut my thread.
I continued piecing in this way, making strips and then sewing the strips together.
Here is the front of my finished top. It only took about two hours, which was much shorter than I'd expected!
Step 2: Pinning + Piecing by Machine
Pinning is also very important, and very simple, in machine-piecing.
To begin, I lined up my squares right sides together. Because of the way they were cut the squares matched up almost perfectly. I pinned each corner and then pulled the side taut and pinned the middle.
Making a quilt by machine is obviously a lot quicker than by hand. In order to make it even speedier I like to set up an assembly line of sorts. I pinned everything I could first and then sewed them all one after another by chain-piecing. Here is everything pinned and ready to be pieced.
The skill involved in machine piecing is maintaining a consistent 1/4-inch seam allowance. I find that the more relaxed I am the straighter my sewing is. If I'm too concerned with being perfect it ends up all wobbly. The machine should sews straight without too much help from you, so try not to push or pull the fabric as it goes through. It takes practice, so be patient!
Note that in machine-piecing I sewed all the way to the edges of the fabric, while in hand-piecing where I sewed only to the end of the drawn seam lines.
Now it's time to press the seams. Pressing or ironing not only makes the front of the quilt top look nice; it also organizes the seams on the back, which is important in machine piecing because you will sew over these seams as you continue piecing. Fret not, iron-phobic people! It's not nearly as hard as ironing a dress shirt and it's much more rewarding!
Place your pieced section with the dark side up and peel it back as you iron the bottom (lighter) section. Pull the darker section taut as you iron it flat. This will orient the seam on the back of the darker side of your piece so it won't show through.
After I ironed all my seams, I pinned and pieced the center square; then the strips; and then I sewed the strips together. When pinning something that already had a seam I was very careful to line up the seams while pinning.
Remember when I said you can't have too many pins? I really meant it....
Here is the finished square:

With the resignation of former president Yoshimi Yasuda and the legal tussle with Tomonobu Itagaki, Tecmo sure had a pretty rough 2008. But just when you thought that it's late into 2009 and they've moved on with their lives, well, they haven't. Kotaku reports that Wikipedia caught the publisher trying to edit details of last year's events out of its own Wikipedia page.
How'd they find out? It seems that a user with an IP address belonging to the publisher was responsible for the editing. The changes involve the aforementioned events in 2008, trying to obscure info and intricacies on the matters and who has left the company.
But if you would take a look at the page in question, it seems that ever-vigilant Wikipedia users have made sure that factual information remains, so the info is more or less accurate. Wikipedia has now addressed Tecmo, telling the publisher to quit editing their own page.

In late 2009, PayPal president John Donahoe indicated that he believed online payments should account for 20% of global payments, even though, at the time, they accounted for just 5%. His goal: find ways to grow that number.
There are a lot of ways of doing that, but none may be as promising as mobile payments.

In response to the European Commission's Green Paper on electronic payments, published today, Mastercard is the first major payment company to officially lend support to the campaign.
The goal of the paper is to expand electronic payments to help European businesses grow, and consumers to shop easily and safely online, instore and via their mobile devices.

Yahoo has confirmed the appointment of PayPal president Scott Thompson as its new CEO.
Thompson's decision to jump ship comes at a strange time, as PayPal is one of eBay's fastest growing divisions and is in a strong position to take advantage of the growth in m-commerce.

PayPal has launched a new Facebook app in the US that will allow users to make peer-to-peer payments free of charge.
The app, called Send Money, also allows users to send Facebook friends an e-card with the money.
by David Moth 18 November 2011 10:32am 1 comment
The PayPal brand has become synonymous with 'online payments', and despite the fact that the company isn't the newest kid on the block, it's no surprise that it keeps growing like a weed as commerce continues to move online.
John Donahoe, the CEO of PayPal parent eBay, however, thinks that online payments should make up a much greater percentage of global payments than they currently do and as a result, PayPal is aggressively working to expand its footprint. One of the newest ways PayPal appears to be doing that is through a new offering called Access, which is reportedly set to be announced today at its X.commerce conference.

Visa's motto may be "More people go with Visa," but when it comes to payments between people, Visa and other major credit card associations are largely absent.
The market for P2P payments is instead dominated by newer players, such as PayPal, which has been around for less than a decade and a half. And more recently, a slew of startups is looking to create new markets and take advantage of untapped niches.
by Patricio Robles 17 March 2011 16:01pm 5 comments
PayPal was the bright spot in eBay's third quarter earnings. The company, whose name has become synonymous with online payments, boosted the online auction company with its strong continued growth.
And if the company has its way, that growth won't be stagnating anytime soon. At the Innovate 2010 developer conference yesterday, PayPal made it clear: its future is micropayments and mobile.
by Patricio Robles 27 October 2010 09:46am 0 comments
As smartphone proliferation exploded over the last year, the mobile payment space has also become a hot market. Mobile shopping in the US more than tripled from 2008 to 2009, according to ABI Research. With new offerings from groups like Square and Intuit joining credit card companies with new offerings, PayPal is working hard to maintain its edge in the digital payments space.
Mobile transactions increased from nearly $25 million in 2008 to $141 million in 2009 at PayPal. This year, the company is even more serious about mobile.
Bill Zielke, PayPal's senior director of North America merchant marketing, is responsible for the development and marketing of PayPal's product strategies. I spoke with Zielke about how PayPal works with businesses online and in mobile, as well as what new offerings PayPal has coming down the pipeline.
by Meghan Keane 10 September 2010 19:06pm 1 comment
PayPal's CEO John Donahoe thinks that online payments should make up more than 20% of the global payments market, but right now it only accounts for a fraction of it. One of the ways PayPal is working to change that: courting developers.
The company's Adaptive Payments API was launched in November 2009 at the PayPal Innovate X 2009, and since then, PayPal has recruited thousands of developers and seen millions of dollars transacted using its developer platform.
by Patricio Robles 29 June 2010 09:11am 9 comments
Online payments behemoth PayPal thinks developers are key in its quest for world domination. Late last year, it launched a portfolio of new APIs that PayPal hopes will give developers the ability to create applications that extend PayPal's footprint into markets in which it believes its payment solutions could be better utilized.
But if the credit card associations have their way, PayPal will have to compete for the best developers.

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron (1 1/2")
RadhikaHairBlackDry HairThick or Coarse HairNot A MagicI got this 1 1/2' sedu iron 220-240v in July 2013. I have thick wavy hairs. And i was expecting a magic out of it. But i am not quite happy with its performance. It is quit slow. There is no much difference in results of this iron and my Nova 1' flat iron, in-spite of so much cost. If it would have been around $10-$12 i could have given it 4 star. But its really not worth spending $102 on a sedu iron. I am really really very disappointed by its performance.posted Aug 5, 2013Link to this post
NicciCant Stop Going Back...Like everyone else is saying It breaks every year so I guess your getting an iron that only lasts for 2 years. The only reason I keep going back is because its the only Flat Iron that doesn't snag my hair for the price! I will continue buying this one until I find another flat iron I like!posted Aug 3, 2013Link to this post
Sheila J.HairBlackCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairThe Warranty Is Only 2 Years For A ReasonThis thing burns out after 2 years. The wire on the swivel cord just burnt through the cord! It was so perfect while it lasts. If you're ok with spending that much money and having it last for just a short amount of time, then this is the straightener for you.
TIP: DON'T wrap the cord around the straightener when you're storing it. I think that contributed to the fraying of the wire and it's burnout. :/posted Aug 2, 2013Link to this post -
Yvonne T.Kona, HawaiiHairCurly HairColor Treated HairTwo Brok Just Outside Of WarrantyOver the past 4 years, I have spent almost $400 on 2 Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline flat irons. Both irons stopped working about 2 months outside of the warranty and both developed connection problems at the base of the iron. Depending on how the irons were held, the light would go on or go off. Evenually the light stopped coming on and the irons never got hot. Very disappointing becuase when they worked, I really liked the irons. Just way too much money for them to only last 2 years.posted Aug 1, 2013Link to this post

Kassandra F.HairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairAmazing!!This is by far the best straightener I have ever used and I will always by Sedu straighteners in the future! It makes your hair silky and shiny and my hair last all day!!posted Jul 29, 2013Link to this post
EmilyOrlando, FLHairBlondeNormal HairDry HairRead This Review!!Ok so I am a huge online shopping fan and ALWAYS read a TON of reviews and do my research before before making a purchase, however I'm too lazy to actually write my own lol. But this time I MUST speak up! All of the 5 star reviews were probably written by people who have only used their sedu a handful of times, aka the honeymoon stage.... So I have purchased 3 (yes, THREE!) of these irons because I loved it so much. It is, hands down, the best flat iron I have ever used, and living in Florida, I use it EVERY day. My sister has a chi which she loves but she agrees that you just can't beat how smooth the sedu's plates are. It runs right through my hair effortlessly and within 12 minutes I can straighten my whole head of hair. HOWEVER (!!!), my third sedu just died and I will NOT be purchasing another. And the ONLY reason I purchased the third one is because of the 2 year warranty. The cord the cord THE CORD!!!! Ahhhhhh!! EVERY time!! You'd think by now they would have fixed this damn problem but apparently not. And as great as the warranty is (Folica's customer service truly rocks!), the frustration of waiting to exchange it AGAIN brings this from 5 stars to 3. I would probably stick with it if the warranty magically renewed with each replacement but of course that is not the case and if you use your straightener often I can GUARANTEE that the sedu will not last longer than a year. And the last few months of its life you'll have to hold the cord a certain way just to get the damn thing to stay on...SO frustrating when you're just trying to fix a few pieces of hair and get out the door. So unless you've got money to burn and can purchase two of these (so you still have one when the first one dies), I'd find a better made product. Frustrating, sad, but true. Happy hunting!posted Jul 28, 2013Link to this post
MariaFloridaHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairNot So GoodI was really looking forward to this product after all the reviews I had read. Once I received it, I was disappointed. I am a dark skinned Latina and have very curly hair. This product was not able to smooth out my hair, especially at the ends. I would return the product, but have lost the receipt. Oh well.posted Jul 20, 2013Link to this post

Tom and Jerry: Pint-Sized Pals Available March 5
That mischievous duo is at it again and their never-ending rivalry is fueled by some of animation's most adorable characters in Tom and Jerry: Pint-Sized Pals. Spike the bulldog is at his most intimidating when he's with his precious pup, Tyke. Several adventures featured on this set, including Hic-cup Pup, Pup on a Picnic, That's My Pup and others, feature the lovable Tyke and his over-protective dad, as they become entangled in Tom and Jerry's endless pursuit.
Nibbles, the perpetually hungry little mouse, re-emerges in several cartoons including Mice Follies, where Nibbles and Jerry turn the kitchen into an ice-skating rink, and again in The Two Mousketeers, which won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons. Tuffy, another precious and precocious little orphaned mouse, is Jerry's pal throughout a set of Hanna-Barbera-directed classics, including Little School Mouse which is featured on this set.
Another favorite little pal is Quacker, the sweet baby duckling who mistakes Tom for his mother in That's My Mommy. Quacker appears in several cartoons, including Happy Go Ducky, in which Tom's Easter egg surprise yields more than he bargained for when it hatches and Quacker emerges. In Southbound Duckling, Quacker is determined to fly south for the winter and in Just Ducky, Jerry teaches Quacker how to swim.
Tom and Jerry: Pint-Sized Pals presents viewers with these and several other hilarious and endearing adventures.
"Though Tom and Jerry are the stars, over the years, their adventures have generated several other well-known and beloved characters that have grown to become fan favorites," said Mary Ellen Thomas, Vice President Family & Animation Marketing and Partner Brands. She added, "We wanted to create a collection that celebrates some of the franchise's littlest and most lovable characters, who we don't get to highlight very often. Tom and Jerry: Pint-Sized Pals is a must-have for cartoon lovers and Tom and Jerry fans, and perfect for the entire family to enjoy."
Originally created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Tom and Jerry centers on the never-ending rivalry between Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse. The plots of each short usually center on Tom's attempts to capture Jerry. Jerry however, is clever and quick on his feet so Tom hardly ever manages to catch him. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoon seven times.

The resort town in California warned on November 12 that it will run out of money by March due to burdensome salary and pension costs and could join other U.S. cities that have recently filed for bankruptcy protection. A bankruptcy filing by Desert Hot Springs, a city of 26,000 about 110 miles (177 km) east of Los Angeles, would make it the third California city since 2012 along with San Bernardino and Stockton to seek court protection from creditors.
