S7 Randomly Stops Playing Music After Software Update
Problem: It seems that after the latest update when playing music through my Wireless speaker by Bluetooth, the music randomly stops playing. I thought it was an issue with google play but the same thing happens with other music playing apps. I turned off all notifications and that worked for a couple of hours now it's back to stopping every 2-4 songs. I also made sure power saving is not on.
Solution: If this problem occurs for every music playing app that you use then we can eliminate any app related issues that could be causing the problem. Does this happen only when you connect your phone to a Bluetooth speaker? If it does then you should try to use a different Bluetooth speaker to eliminate any speaker related issues. In case the problem occurs even if you use different Bluetooth speakers then it's possible that this is already caused by some form of old software data that has not been completely removed during the software update. You will need to backup your phone data then do a factory reset to fix this problem.
S7 Volume Randomly Changes After Software Update
Problem: Ever since the latest update on my Samsung S7, my media volume will randomly go all the way up or all the way down without me ever touching it. Has anyone else experienced this? It really sucks when I'm listening to my ear buds and it blasts in my ears.
Solution: What you should do first in this case is to check if an app is causing this problem. To do this just start the phone in Safe Mode then observe if the issue occurs in this mode. If it doesn't occur in this mode then it could be caused by an app you downloaded. Find out what app this is and uninstall it.
If the problem occurs even in Safe Mode then it's possible that this is caused by old software data that has not been completely removed during the software update. If this is the case then you will need to backup your phone data then do a factory reset.
S7 Can't Detect Mobile Network
Problem: My samsung s7 is not having mobile network, each time I try to search network manually, it says error searching network, I did network reset already, restarted the phone several times, same issue. Can't make nor receive calls
Related Problem: My samsung 7 , is given me problems. It says that I don't have a network connection. I can't make phone calls, I can't send text. The only good thing is my WiFi is still working, do I can do Facebook, shit like that but everything else is not working right. Can you take me through, step by step how to debug what ever crap I got going on on my phone. Thank you very much
Solution: You should try using a different SIM card in your phone to check if your current SIM is causing the problem. If the phone works with another SIM then you need to contact your carrier regarding this matter.
If the issue still remains even with another SIM card installed then the next step is to check if a glitch in the phone software is causing the problem by doing a factory reset. Make sure to backup your phone data before doing the reset.
If the above steps fails to fix the problem then I recommend that you have your phone checked at a service center as this could already be a hardware related problem.
S7 Slow To Type After Software Update
Problem: Hey there I recently updated to the new android operating system nougat. I have a Samsung s7 and I type a lot using continuous input and it doesn't recognise my shapes or frequent words used. It's become very noticeably clunky and slow to type. I Don't know what's going on. Can you help? It makes me want to go back to the software before!!
Solution: Since this problem occured right after a software update what you need to do first is to wipe the cache partition of the phone from the recovery mode. What this does is it erases the temporary system data which could be causing this problem. If this fails to fix the issue then you will have to perform a factory reset. Make sure to backup your phone data before doing the reset.
S7 Flash Keeps Going Off
Problem: I have the camera flash going off, nearby devices, bluetooth and always on display going on and off on the pull down tap. I have things download all the time but I have auto update turned off. I also have system update coming up on my main page all the time. Help please
Solution: Since your phone is experiencing multiple issues the best thing to do right now is to backup your phone data then do a factory reset. Once the reset is complete perform a software update is an update is available.
S7 Can't Move Apps
Problem: I use to be able to go into the settings and access my apps to move them by tapping on the app to be moved. But somewhere along the line the choice to do that has been removed and the only thing I can do is to clear my cache. What happened to the move button?
Solution: There are some apps that you can move to the microSD card. These apps will have the move button activated. There are also apps that don't have the move button since they are not designed to run on a microSD card.
S7 Network Error Connection
Problem: We are straight talk. Bought a t mobile galaxy S7 yesterday bought the byop plan for straight talk got it all set up with them but it still says network error connection. The phone says it's permanently unlocked. I don't know what to do
Solution: You should try to contact your carrier regarding this matter as the SIM card that you are using might not be active yet. If the SIM is already active and the issue still occurs then try restarting the phone. If the restart fails to work then I recommend that you do a factory reset. Make sure to backup your phone data before doing the reset.
If the above steps fails to fix the problem then you should have your phone checked at a service center.
S7 Screen Overlay Error
Problem: Galaxy S7 keeps showing 'Screen overlay detected' error for every application I want to use. I have turn off "the capable of showing pop ups, bubbles, and other elements over an active app you're using" for all of the Apps. What can I do to solve the problem?
Solution: A screen overlay is a feature wherein an app can display on top of another app. If you have already turned this off from the settings and the issue still occurs then try restarting the phone.
In case the issue still occurs after the restart then find out what app bubble is appearing on the screen. Find this app from the application manager then try to disable it to check if the app is causing the problem.
If the issue persists then you should proceed with wiping the cache partition of the phone from the recovery mode.
One last step to consider is a factory reset. Make sure to backup your phone data before doing the reset.
S7 Disable Stock Email App
Problem: I recently upgraded to the S7 on March 1st 2017 through AT&T. For the first 6 or 7 weeks everything was great. I would check emails 2 or 3 times a day & the sync settings were set to (use account default) except junk/spam folder were (manual 3 days) because there was so much. Even with my S5 Active I have never had a problem with my email which is setup as POP3 on my S7. My battery would last almost 2 days while also general browsing, occasional shopping,social media, & camera/photo editing being used most. I Received a notification for a software update, so continued as I always have with updates. The next day my battery begin to get extremely hot & at full charge without any use would drop 7-10% within 20or 30 mins. When using it for basic things like calls & texts it would drain immediately. So I contacted Samsung support Googled different discussions about the same topic and they all had some issue with stock email which also would take 2 to 3 minutes to load/sync. By that time my phone would lag when jus try to make a call. I thought I had fixed the issue based on all the information I received from Samsung & android groups but a week later I started having the same problem with email. I changed the sync settings for all folders to manual or every 6 hours & the Force Stop it afterwards. I have decided to quit using that app & downloaded BlueMail. This is were I need help, I cannot figure out how to disable stock email, only option is Force Stop. I was going to remove my Exchange account but a notification says "By removing account from device will delete all account emails, contacts, & other data from device storage". This email account is also synced to my Samsung account. Should I Set Up the BlueMail then remove account or is there a way to disable the stock email. Also when setting up BlueMail it gives me 2 check boxes to choose Automatic or Prefer ActiveSync, I can check both boxes but wasn't sure what the difference is & what difference it would make as far as App Performance, Battery Drainage, or affecting whether or not I would have more/less options to personalize other settings? I apologize for sending a "short book" before asking the main questions but not having the phone to long, I am still learning different things about it and thought any additional info may make a difference on what you advise or information you give. Thanks in Advance.
Solution: You won't be able to disable the stock email app of the phone. The best way to prevent mails from going to your two email apps is to remove any email account on the stock email app and just use the Blue Mail app instead. Make sure to backup your phone data before removing your email account.
In setting up the Blue Mail email when you check on the automatic box the app will try to get the incoming and outgoing server settings that are necessary for your email to work. While this is a great way to easily setup your email it's best to do this manually if you know your email settings. When you place a checkmark on the Activesync feature this will allow you to choose which folders you would like to sync to your phone.

Healthy industrial demand spurs new development across Houston
Jan. 3, 2018
By: Jeff Venghaus, executive vice president and industrial lead, JLL Houston
Sustained demand from industrial users is spurring new developments across Houston, and they are bigger than ever.
Five new buildings broke ground in the fourth quarter of 2017, and 4.6 million square feet of industrial space is currently under construction. The increase in big-box groundbreakings at year-end helped reverse a six quarter decline in construction volume.
Current vacancy and availability of large blocks of existing space are limited. As a result, large users are having to start the site selection process with land searches and a quality understanding of new development locations and opportunities.
Consumer goods and logistics companies continue to drive much of the demand for Houston industrial product. Companies in these categories accounted for close to half of the 3.4 million square feet of leasing activity at year-end, with tenants signing long-term deals and expanding footprints across the metro.
Changes in supply chain logistics are continuing to put Houston on the radar for regional distribution facilities and fulfillment centers, leading to larger space requirements from tenants. A total of 12 big-box warehouse/distribution projects either delivered, or were in progress during 2017 a 20 percent increase year-over-year and a 140 percent increase from 2015.
In total, Houston's industrial market saw approximately 7.3 million square feet of space deliver in 2017 and recorded positive net absorption of 7.6 million square feet for the year. The industrial sector closed 2017 with a market-wide vacancy rate of just 4.9 percent.
As tenants remain confident and developers disciplined, the Houston industrial market is poised for another successful year.

EPA Provides New E-Waste Guidelines, But Zero New Regulations
Photo via Iowa Spirit Walker
The "Responsible Recycling (R2) Practices for Use in Accredited Certification Programs for Electronics Recyclers" is a new guide from the EPA that tells electronics recyclers how to run safe and eco-firendly operations.
However, what good it will actually do is up for debate.Here is a bit about what the guidelines hope to accomplish:
The R2 guide lists 13 principles to help electronics recyclers ensure their material is handled safely and legally in the U.S. and foreign countries. It calls on recyclers to establish a management system for environmental and worker safety; develop a policy that promotes reuse and material recovery over landfill or incineration; and use practices that reduce exposures or emissions during recycling operations. The principles also call for recyclers to use diligence to assure appropriate management of materials throughout the recycling chain, including materials that are exported to foreign countries.
But there is one giant caveat. The guidelines that promote the health and safety of both the environment and recycling plant workers is voluntary.
From Susan Parker Bodine, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response: "These voluntary guidelines will help assure Americans that their used electronics will be recycled safely and responsibly."
Really? Do voluntary guidelines really do much to assure us that safe practices are being followed?
It's great that the EPA puts out guides such as this. But it would be even better if it actually enforced guidelines. We've seen from the past that the EPA isn't exactly a leader in effective e-waste regulation. And a set of voluntary guidelines isn't exactly the best way to establish actual leadership. Taking action, such as what Waste Management has done, would be more to the point.

Next week we will be releasing our updated 2017 Advocacy Guide. Inside you'll find a succinct account of what advocacy is, the process of a bill becoming law, and some practical advocacy tools. Here's a sneak peek:
One of the key tools we use at OICA to influence policy is a fact sheet. A fact sheet is a simple one to two page document that creams "Read me!" when you look at it. You want it to be uncomplicated and interesting. We often utilize an infographic or create a simple sheet with some bold bullet points and data. A fact sheet is a painless way to educate your audience (particularly a busy legislator) on your issue of interest.
The purpose of a fact sheet is to:
- Present the facts- key statistics, figures or
- Identify a group with a particular issue
- Provide answers to common questions about the issues (Fact sheets are often found in a Q & A format.)
- Show information using graphs, charts, or pictures
- Inform, persuade or educate
- Make an argument for a particular policy
An example of a fact sheet we hand out almost everywhere we go is the most recent 2016 KIDS COUNT Profile.
Good luck on your advocacy efforts! As always, don't hesitate to contact me you're your questions directly at 405-236-5437 Ext. 104 or email email@example.com
Lani Habrock is the director of KIDS COUNT at the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy. As a former contender for the State House of Representatives she believes legislative advocacy is an important work we must all take responsibility for in order to create positive change for all children in our state on a population-wide level.

The Tennessee Titans Sue Lane Kiffin and USC for Poaching Their Coach
By admin On July 29, 2010 July 29, 2010 · Updated July 29, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Lane Kiffin can't catch a break. Not that he deserves one. On Monday, the Tennessee Titans joined in on the Lane Kiffin bashing with the rest of the state of Tennessee by filing suit against Kiffin and the University of Southern California. This came just days after Titans head coach, Jeff Fisher, publicly criticized Kiffin for hiring away Titans' running backs coach, Kennedy Pola, to be the Trojans new offensive coordinator.
The Titans are suing Kiffin and USC for "inducement of breach of contract," a statutory claim in Tennessee, and common law "tortious interference with contract." The legal argument is quite simple: under section 11(c) of Pola's contract with the Titans, he agreed not to "entertain employment with any other person or entity" without written permission from the Titans or the Commissioner of the NFL. Pola didn't get permission from anyone before discussing and accepting the USC job, in clear violation of the contract. But what's interesting is that the Titans aren't suing Kennedy Pola for breach of contract; they ignored the obvious claim against the obvious defendant and went after Kiffin and USC instead.
The Titans likely have multiple justifications for this strategy. First and foremost, they probably don't hold it against Pola for taking advantage of the opportunity (though may have appreciated a heads up). This is what assistant coaches do — it's all about upward mobility and eventually landing a head coaching job. No, the Titans' beef is with Kiffin (and by extension, USC, which also happens to be Fisher's alma mater). No doubt Fisher has been watching the Lane Kiffin saga with great interest, and, as a loyal, no-nonsense head coach who stays out of the limelight, decided to take a stand when Kiffin started messing with his staff. And he's largely being applauded for it, not only in Tennessee but across the NFL and the sports media.
And that was the purpose, to take a stand and potentially set a precedent for future teams and coaches. From a financial standpoint, Pola leaving probably won't cost the Titans much. Even with the potential for treble damages, they will have a hard time showing and recovering significant damages, should they win on the merits. But their argument on the merits is pretty strong, especially considering a recent ruling in a lawsuit filed by Marist College against James Madison University after former Marist coach, Matt Brady, bolted for JMU. I know, I know, who against who? The Marist v. JMU suit probably would not have garnered much attention on its own. But with a high profile dust-up like this one involving an NFL team and a major college coach and program coming on its heels, the Marist case has all of a sudden become relevant.
Matt Brady was the head basketball coach at Marist until March 2008, when he was hired away by JMU. Apparently, Brady's contract with Marist was similar to Pola's with the Titans — it prohibited Brady from negotiating for employment with other teams without written consent from Marist. Marist filed suit against JMU, also alleging inducement of breach of contract, and on June 30, the New York State Supreme Court issued a default judgment in favor of Marist, finding that Marist had "adequately articulated the elements for a claim of [wrongful] interference with a contract."
Of course, the Titans lawsuit is pending in Chancery Court for Davidson County, Tennessee, so the New York ruling is not binding precedent. But inducement of breach of contract is not a unique claim across the states, and given that the facts in the two cases are so similar, the Chancery Court may well give weight to the Marist case. If the court sides with the Titans, it could have a cascading effect across the professional sports industry. Poaching coaches is standard practice in college and professional sports, as are contracts like those entered into by Matt Brady and Kennedy Pola. Yet lawsuits like these are rare. That could soon change, thanks to the Tennessee Titans and Jeff Fisher.

The CFN Story
Campisi & Campisi, Inc., the predecessor to CFN began in 1981 as the husband and wife partnership between Joseph and Rhonda Campisi. The original business focus was accounting and taxes for small business and individual income tax planning and preparation. By the third year, the Company's interest in total financial planning necessitated the co-founder to pursue the Certified Financial Planner® designation.
The idea of being proactive in helping people achieve goals in all areas of their financial lives as opposed to the historical nature of accounting and tax preparation was far too important to ignore. There was a realization that even though the Company's focus was accounting & taxes, in actuality it was part of a much larger business, that of financial services; an area that encompassed insurance, investments, retirement & estate planning as well as tax planning.
While practicing financial planning, they soon realized that the development of the financial plan without its implementation was a waste of time and resources. Even though one of the co-founders was a Certified Financial Planner® practitioner, he was not licensed to sell securities and insurance. Therefore he was referring that piece of the plan to other institutions or advisors. Many times, the clients were sold insurance and/or investment products that were not recommended or would not achieve the client's desired goals. This problem needed to be eliminated so that the implementation of the client's plans could be part of the Company's full portfolio of services.
During the 1990′s, the Company dedicated much of its time to the tax profession serving the Pennsylvania Society of Enrolled Agents in many capacities including President and the National Association of Enrolled Agents, as the Developer and Chairman of the Financial & Estate Planning Institute.
In the Financial Planning arena, CFN has served and supported fellow registered representatives as mentor, chapter director, and as a fee-based consultant providing education, training, speaking and coaching programs to Certified Public Accountants, Enrolled Agents, and other tax professionals. CFN has assisted many representatives of the Financial Planning industry to build a total financial advisory practice.
As the CFN founders' experience indicates, they have first-hand knowledge of what differentiates a top producing tax and financial professional from a mediocre producer. The art of taking these tax professionals and turning them into top producers has been the foundation of our work ethic. Herein lies the founding philosophy of the Campisi Financial Network®.

Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: METALINK and OWS
You don't need OPS to see this. Basically, alter system affects an instance (e.g. SGA stuff) whereas alter database affects the database (e.g. datafiles, controlfile). But some commands *are* confusing, e.g. ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE or CHECKPOINT vs. ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE or RECOVER. With OPS it's a little easier to understand when you have separate instances with one database. Then again, remembering syntax is just what you need for that OCP moniker.... ;-)

Valuing and Dividing Marital Property in Tennessee: An Accountant's Essential Update for Attorneys - On-Demand
Webinar is now available on-demand. NOTE: On-Demand webinars are not eligible for CLE credit.
WEBINAR SNAPSHOT: Gain CLE and learn from a Tennessee CPA how to value marital assets to make the most compelling case for your clients pursuing divorce.
In Tennessee, divorce is no longer limited to who gets the home and how the bank accounts are split. It often involves how to value a business, how to divide a retirement plan, and how to allocate debt.
Dividing the assets and debts of a couple seeking a divorce can be a difficult task. You must first determine what is and what is not marital property, then determine what the assets are worth. The matter is complicated when one or both of the parties own a business.
Once all of the marital assets – the real estate, the retirement accounts, any stock options, any business interests, etc. – are accounted for, the property must be divided. The courts say the division must be equitable. But how is that accomplished?
Learn more with this on-demand webinar. Your presenter, a CPA, will guide you through some of the scenarios that arise in valuing and dividing marital property. For example, what if one spouse has an interest in a closely-held business, or what if one spouse has an executive compensation package, or if one of the spouses files for bankruptcy.
- Marital vs. non-marital assets
- Dividing real estate
- Business assets and interests in closely-held entities
- Employee benefits, stock options and executive compensation plans
- Other sources of assets
- Dividing debt between spouses
- Bankruptcy's impact on divorce

Absolut World of Barcelona Bicycles
Absolut World of Barcelona is today's site of the day. The site, promoted by Swedish vodka brand Absolut imagines Barcelona as a city without fumes or traffic jams, connected by the mode of bicycle.
In the Absolut World of Barcelona citizens can find out if they are ready for the new regime. They can get their bike license by passing a three question exam on matters such as traffic signs and bicycle maintenance. The site is only in Spanish.
The World of Barcelona concept was to be implemented with a real event, the First Barcelona's Bike Film Festival: a film festival you could only attend if you went by bike. Movies were to be shown related to the world of bikes, such as E.T. or The Goonies. The website reinforced the advertising of the event on internet, and also collected multimedia material for it. Unfortunately the event was cancelled, due to scheduling conflicts.
WYSIWYG was acquired by RazorFish in October.

Victorian Government Announcers plans to Cull Victorian Alpine National Brumbies
The very last thing that we expected the Friday before Christmas was to have the long awaited Draft Plan of Management for the Brumbies of the Alpine National Park in Victoria released. To be clear, this is a Draft Plan that Parks Victoria has been consulting with 'key stakeholders' on since 2013. It was originally planned for release in December 2013. There has been absolutely NO rush to get this through, so it is hard not to be critical of the timing. The Plan has been called the Protection of the Alpine National Park – Feral Horse Strategic Action Plan 2018-2020 (Draft) - even the title is concerning. Read the plan here: https://engage.vic.gov.au/alpine-national-park-feral-horse-strategic-action-plan
Clearly, Parks Victoria think that by releasing the Draft Action Plan the very last working day before Christmas, will assist them in brushing it under the carpet!
The aim of this page is to:
What can you do?

You may have seen some or all of them before and I am sure there are others out there. I thought I'd have a quick play with some of them.
Linked IN
If you are a LinkedIn user, you might be interested in INmaps which enables you to visualise your network.
Here's mine:
I'd not seen friendwheel before which generates images like this:
Social Graph
If you are a Tweeter, then you can understand your 'social capital' on that network by using Peerindex. I'm not a big Twitter user so the results for me are really not worth looking at. But if you are a Twitter user (and care about these things) then it may be worth a look
In the same vein we also have Klout which measures your 'Klout' across several networks.
These tools are all very well but what are the use cases ? When I look at the social graphs generated by InMaps and Social Graph, they don't tell me anything I didn't already know and there's no action I would take as a result of seeing these. But if I were trying to become known as a thought leader or 'influencer' in some field these tools might help me see if I was succeeding and suggest ways of increasing my reach. What would really be interesting is whether there are any similar such tools operating 'within the firewall' and how are they being used.
If you know of any such use cases then please come along to the Business Networking & Collaboration tools Roundtable (KIN Members only) on July 11th

Hopes of an end to the firefighters' bitter pay dispute were rising today with the offer of a 16 per cent wage rise over three years.
Local authority leaders were tabling the offer at a final round of negotiations with the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) in a bid to prevent further strikes.
The employers will make it clear that pay will be linked to modernising the fire service but said they hoped the new offer would finally lead to a deal to end the long-running dispute.
Local FBU brigade representatives will consider the pay offer tomorrow before a national conference later this month to decide whether to hold a fresh ballot.
The deal is expected to raise firefighters' pay from the present £21,500 to around £25,000.

Learning to read is essentially learning a code. The letters we use are simply symbols or written code for the speech sounds of English. Learning about the relationship between the letters of the alphabet and the speech sounds they represent allows us to "crack the code" and learn to both read (decode) and spell (encode).
Synthetic Phonics is a way of teaching children to read. It has been identified both here and overseas as the most successful approach to the teaching of reading and spelling. The 'synthetic' component reflects the practice of 'synthesising', or blending together. The 'phonic' part reflects the process of linking individual speech sounds (phonemes) to written symbols (graphemes). Essentially, when a child learns to read using Synthetic Phonics they learn to link letters to speech sounds and then blend these sounds together to read words. They also learn to separate (segment) words into their constituent sounds and link these sounds to letters in order to spell them.

WATCH: These gun owners are destroying their weapons after the Florida school shooting
Owners of assault weapons are saying #OneLessGun following the events at Parkland
In response to the shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida last week, US gun owners have been posting videos online of them destroying their assault weapons.
Using the hashtags #OneLess and #OneLessGun, people shared videos showing them using saws and hammers to destroy their own AR-15 rifles, the same weapon used by Nikolas Cruz in Florida.
Scott Pappalardo of New York went viral with his Facebook video on February 19.
In the video, which has been viewed 26 million times, he is seen sitting on his back porch, discussing the reasons why he has decided to destroy his weapon.
He then cuts the barrel of his gun off with a circular saw.
The video has been shared on Twitter by famous figures like actress Julianne Moore.
Please watch this eloquent gun owner explain why he destroyed his gun. Thank you #ScottPappalardo for your example. @Everytown @MomsDemand @GiffordsCourage @NeverAgainMSD https://t.co/6CunE3mUGK— Julianne Moore (@_juliannemoore) February 20, 2018
Prior to Pappalardo's video, Maryland resident Austin Steingrube live-streamed his destroying of his gun on YouTube.
He told the Press Association: "I've been a gun owner for a few years. I picked it up in college as a hobby.
"I began to realise that my 'safe weekend toy' was neither safe nor a toy. My gun was created for the sole purpose of harming people.
"What other hobby exists in which the focus is on an object of murder? Knitting? Golf? Playing guitar?"
Washington resident Debbie Lentz was inspired by Pappalardo's example.
She said she saw his video and "realised that was something that I needed to do as well, to show my support for those kids who had the courage to do what we should have been doing for years!"
Lentz, whose father was a firearm safety instructor and whose husband has been a competition shooter, has owned guns for 25 years.
Pappalardo's video and the events in Parkland made her realise that "the AR-15 is not a hunting gun; its purpose is to kill people rapidly and efficiently. I feel that it should not be available outside the military".
The trend has sparked debate on social media. Amanda Meyer, who shared a rifle-wrecking video on Facebook, said she has received a "harsh" backlash.
She said: "They are saying that I should have used it to shoot myself, that I should hang myself, that I deserve to be raped, that they hope that someone breaks into my house, that it will be hilarious when I get murdered, that I should put down the tools and go make my husband a sandwich because I'm too stupid to think, that I hate the Constitution."
She also claims she was doxxed when someone posted her address online.
In addition to disagreeing with the efficacy of destroying their guns, some have also questioned whether the people partaking in #OneLessGun could be breaking the law.
According to the National Firearms Act, a rifle with a barrel under 16 inches in length is an illegal firearm, and it is possible people may be accidentally committing felonies by cutting their AR-15s.
Instead, the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms recommends getting a unwanted gun melted down, or handing it in to the police.
If gun owners do intend to cut their guns, they should use a blowtorch to warp at least a quarter-inch of the metal to prevent reassembly, and use a cutting torch rather than a saw to conform with the law.

Studio blog of Annie Bissett, an artist working with traditional Japanese woodblock printing (moku hanga)
18 October 2012
Homemade Artist Residency Day 4
Today was a discouraging day at the residency. In retrospect I feel like I took things too far. First I added some red to the print I made yesterday. Not bad, although there was something about the simplicity of the piece before the red that was awfully nice. I kept two impressions just like this.
Then I tried an experiment with the other four impressions to see if I could add intaglio linework just using a piece of wood and a baren. Not very pretty, although it is intaglio.
Disappointing, but I can't learn new things without trying new things, so there you go. Today's residency is over, tonight I'll be working on some client work, and tomorrow I'll face a fresh piece of wood.

Just like life, huh? How else would we learn all the things not to do?

Hi Annie, I can so relate to taking things too far...I feel as though all the work I've done this year has contained an element of that. But it IS one way to learn. I try to remember something I read in Anne Lamont's book, Bird by Bird; something about allowing yourself to make mistakes, (although she used a scatological term. The more 'mistakes' you make, the closer you get to the good stuff. Keep at it! Hooray for you and your homemade artist residency!

It's true about allowing oneself to make some bad art in order to learn how to make good art. But maybe I shouldn't blog about it so brazenly :)

i love these games
Me, Myself and The Room
A downloadable game for Windows
"Me, Myself and The Room" is my first attempt at a so called "alt-game". The idea came out of necessity, as I was pressed for time on multiple occasions over the past 48 hours of the 37th Ludum Dare competition. To be honest, this is more of an installation or walking simulator than a game.
Controls: Use the mouse to find one of the many nodes on screen. Then press and hold the left mouse button, until the inner circle has filled and you will be transported to the next node. (i.e. point-and-click) Full-screen mode can be enabled by pressing the "F" key (although not tested on multiple or non 16:9 displays).
You can use the Escape key to exit the game at any time.
I based the narrative off of some old text documents I wrote when I was an angsty teenager, just entering puberty, although making a joke out of it all. I used to stay in my room for days, only going out for food or to the toilet. The only communication I had was between me and myself, talking to the mirror or writing on the computer. For a time, I thought I was going insane, but in the end it developed into something of a self-imposed isolation, which I look fondly of.
... but seriously - half of this is flowery poetry, based on Warhammer 40K.
Postmortem: All of the pre-rendered frames, of which this game is composed were rendered rather hastefully. I had almost a day to model, render and program the majority of what you see before you. As such, I did a fairly low-quality render, which in term developed it's own unique aesthetic for the final product.
Second of all, the code for this game is basically non-existent, outside of some basic room-switching and audio triggers. All 3D is fake. The animation in the beginning took 2.5 hours to render, in which all of the source code was written.
I threw my hat into the voice-acting ring this time, realizing that I cannot possibly pull off a better teenager voice than this. Monotone, lifeless and borderline suicidal - you'll love it. Writing and recording all of it took a few hours, along with the audio engineering aspect.
Hopefully you found it enjoyable - it is definitely not my best work, but for the time I had with it, I would call this project a success.

Senate Loses Key Media Reformer
The Center for Digital Democracy's Jeff Chester talked to Democracy Now! on Thursday about the impending departure of North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan, a leading opponent of media consolidation and proponent of net neutrality. An excerpt:
See the entire video here.
Dorgan's departure is definitely a blow. Hopefully, someone else in the Senate (maybe Al Franken?) will take up the cause. Even better if the movement had more than one champion in the Senate.
Chester's concern about progressives not creating enough content on the Web is surprising. I thought liberal activists had been way ahead of conservatives in utilizing the blogosphere and web video, especially since progressive voices have nearly been shut out of the mainstream media. So, I'm not sure what Chester envisions. Maybe he means progressive activists should create more outlets on the Web that look like traditional newspapers and television newscasts? The biggest hurdle, of course, is having enough money to start up a news organization. There just aren't enough wealthy benefactors funding progressive/diverse media these days. In the meantime, progressive activists are going to have to come up with creative ways to raise the cash needed to create the content.

Setting up a home gym
Well after alot of procrastinating, husband agrees we need to exercise and get in shape. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 8 months ago. His blood sugar isn't terribly high - yet. He is on medication but does not need insulin. So we are hoping to get it under control or even reverse it with exercise and eating better. So, we are going to finish the partial basement into an exercise area. I already have an eliptical, but he doesn't like to use it because he says it makes his knees hurt. We also have a Wii with the Fit board & Sports Resort. I like the Wii because I can do different things each day. I am also wanting to get the Fit plus. I also have a dvd of Leslie Sansone "Walk at home 5 day slim down". I love to walk, just not in the winter! LOL I am hoping to talk him into a treadmill, maybe a stationary bike and some type of weight/resistance machine. If anyone has any suggestions - on equipment or advice on setting up the exercise room - we would love to hear them. We are starting with a concrete floor, block walls and dropped ceiling. He thinks we need to raise the floor a little just so it is warmer. I think we can put the foam squares down and it will be enough. We already have one corner coveren in the squares/tiles - we used this for the dogs. Cost wise, if I can get them at Sam's Club like I did the first set, cost isn't too bad. But if we raise the floor, we will have to work around the door as it is a walk-out basement. I will try to post updates at least twice a week during the building process and also once we start using it.

Fleet Video Cam
Distracted driving is at record-breaking highs. Is your business affected by drivers who aren't paying attention to the road?
Is Your Fleet Driving Safely?
Distracted driving and safety are at the top of everyone's minds. With distraction-related collisions increasing in frequency, they now surpass drunk driving as the leading cause of collisions. As an example, the province of Saskatchewan reported 3,800 collisions in 2016 where distracted driving was a relevant factor. Fines are also becoming more of a concern, the average fine now is ~$300 and up to four demerit points, depending on where you live. In response, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) is attempting to curb the epidemic of distracted drivers with an experimental voluntary program. They have enlisted volunteers to test a system that will detect and discourage drivers from being on their phones. As an incentive, drivers who choose to utilize this experimental system will get lower insurance rates. A recent study found that over two-thirds of business owners are worried that their employees are using mobile devices while driving for work. It was also found that 33% of organizations have not taken the necessary steps to prevent this behaviour.
High Stakes
That number is surprisingly high considering the costs related to collisions involving commercial vehicle fleets are so high. Repairs, insurance claims, emergency response, lost productivity and costs related to health services rack up to a significant dollar value. A 2010 study found that the combined cost of a fatal accident is roughly $598,000 CDN, while the average non-fatal accident costs are $40,000 CDN. As a general rule, for every $1 spent on direct costs (fines, vehicle repair, medical), $4-$10 is spent on indirect costs (lost productivity, increased insurance premiums and harm to brand reputation). Thus the implications for both short-term and long-term profitability are immense. This is especially alarming considering that almost all collisions are preventable.
Enter Titan GPS iN-Cab Fleet Cameras
Our sophisticated Titan GPS iN-Cab Fleet Camera system allows fleet managers and business owners alike to virtually be next to all of their drivers simultaneously. Ensuring safety policies are being followed, and being able to historically track behavior is key to a safe and efficient fleet operation. Fleet managers can use our fleet video camera system to view live video feeds or past recorded video, plus be alerted to potential collisions with the forward facing "dash cams" and (optional) in-cab-facing cameras. When outfitted with both, fleet managers can ensure that drivers are where they are, and doing what they are supposed to be doing. Fleet camera video has a proven track record of reducing collision incidents by more than 35%. Contact us today and start your journey to a safer and higher performing fleet. In the meantime here are just a few of the benefits your fleet can receive from implementing Titan GPS iN-Cab Fleet Cameras.
Identify. Protect. Improve
- Identify drivers that require safety training
- Protect against fraudulent claims and remove any ambiguity regarding liability. On the unfortunate occasion of a collision, you'll have video evidence of who is at fault. This can reduce the threat of civil litigation and cut down on legal fees.
- Passive behavior improvement. We recognize that drivers might not be enthusiastic about being monitored while they drive, but the simple fact of the matter is that driver behavior improves if drivers know their actions are accountable. Drivers who know their actions are being monitored have reported a reduction in wasted fuel, unnecessary maintenance and repair costs.
See It In Action
Helping your drivers go from good to great means investing in their future. With an integrated Titan GPS iN-Cab Fleet Camera system, you have a powerful and objective tool with which to do so.
Find out how you can improve your fleets safety, performance and efficiency.TRANSFORM YOUR FLEET WITH VIDEO

Restore, Refresh or Reset
By Don Trauger – Kennett
Published July 2015 in the Guide and Digest
When a Windows version 8/8.1 computer faces a major software problem 3 options may have to be considered. They are Restore, Refresh or Reset. Windows is somewhat smart in that it can detect a problem by diagnosing the computer then followed by an automatic repair. If it can be repaired automatically then that should be the end of the problem. However, what happens if the automatic repair fails to correct the problem? Read further to find out what to do.
If it fails to boot and you see repeated failed attempts with the automatic repair, then you must find a different way to correct the problem. Here's what every Windows 8/8.1 computer user MUST do. Purchase a USB flash drive which is 16 GB or larger in size. On a working computer, insert the flash drive into a USB 2.0 port in the computer. A USB 2.0 port will have a black insulator inside the port connector. On newer computers you will also see USB ports that have a blue insulator. These are 3.0 high speed ports. For compatibility reasons avoid using the 3.0 ports for this procedure. Turn on the computer and boot to the Desktop screen, right click the 4 pane white window icon in the lower left corner. In the menu, left click Control Panel. If you see View by: "Category" in the upper right section of the window, click Category and select Large icons. Next, click the Recovery icon. Under Advanced recovery tools, click "Create a recovery drive". Select "Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive". Click Next. You will see a message that the drive needs to be 16 GB (or larger) and that it will delete any files that may exist on the flash drive. Under available drives, you should see the flash drive labeled RECOVERY. Click Next. You will see a repeated warning message about file deletion on the flash drive, then click Create. This will take 10-15 minutes to complete. Click Finish. Remove the flash drive and store it in a safe place. Do not use it for any purpose other than repairing the PC.
Now that you have a tool to correct startup problems, how do you use it? First, you may have to tell the PC to boot from the flash drive instead of the hard drive. Normally it wants to boot from the hard drive but if it's not working properly you need to tell it to boot from your flash drive. This can be done either by pressing a function key or going into the Bios to make the change. You may need to consult your documentation or find out how to do this for your particular brand of PC. It's good info to know ahead of time.
When you have a major PC malfunction and it can't be repaired automatically, turn off the PC, insert the startup flash drive you created and it should boot from the flash drive. After it boots, click US, thenTroubleshoot, Advanced options and click System Restore. You will be able to select which restore point to use for the restore operation. Normally pick the latest one when the computer was working normally. This operation will not delete any of your files or programs that you have saved or installed. After you see successful completion you can remove the flash drive and reboot the computer.
There are 2 other remedies that can also be implemented. Without clicking Advanced options, you should see Refresh your PC and Reset you PC. Refresh would be utilized if a System Restore failed to work. Warning – refreshing your PC will save your files but you will have re-install any programs that you installed such as your printer or programs downloaded from the Internet. Resetting the PC resets the computer back to the time when you took it out of the box and turned it on the first time. Your files and programs will be deleted.
Hopefully you'll never have to do any of this. Doing regular maintenance will definitely help keep the computer in good operating condition and avoid major repairs.
To help you with questions about this or any subject, we meet on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 PM upstairs in the Ardmore room of the Community Center.

As NewsBusters has been reporting for weeks, the Obama-loving media have concocted the fallacy that Republicans are suddenly in a war on women.
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer on PBS's Inside Washington Friday called this "a classic example of liberal echo chamber elite cocooning" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
GORDON PETERSON, HOST: What are the political ramifications? Is this reflected at the polling place?
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It isn't, and that is why all of your talk about the war on woman is a classic example of liberal echo chamber elite cocooning. In the poll by the New York Times on this issue, it found that by eleven percent Americans are against the idea that contraception ought to be required in a medical plan if it is against the conscience of the employer.
And if you ask the question whether a religious institution ought to be required to subsidize contraception, it is 21 percent against among women, on the first, two percent against, and on the second that's a religious institution, meaning a Catholic hospital, it's a ten percent spread.
So what every one of those in the Time poll -- hardly a right-wing publication -- you have a majority of Americans who say you ought not compel anybody who has a religious objection, and particularly any institution like the Catholic Church, to provide contraception. And thus all your talk about how it is hurting women is simply not reflected in the data.
PETERSON: "Liberal echo chamber cocooning." That's going in my book.
KRAUTHAMMER: Oh, and strong letter to follow.
And in that strong letter, Krauthammer should let all of his colleagues know that no one is trying to take anything away from women that they previously had before this controversy started.
Instead, what this has been about from the beginning - and it appears more women understand this than the media would like! - is the Obama administration trying to expand healthcare coverage concerning birth control and abortion with some entities pushing back.
As such, we have witnessed a sickeningly dishonest press in the past few months not only allow the White House to advance a completely false narrative, but also assist the President's efforts to misinform the public.
Shouldn't it be the media's job to expose a President's lies?
Or is that asking too much when the current White House resident is a Democrat the press helped get elected?

Statistics on Death Rates is important to help public health agencies plan services where may be needed. One way this has been used is the call or need for new medical specialties. Have you heard of a doctor being a intensive care expert? The idea is intensivists can have a direct affect on death rates. There are many organizations who use this information befside hospitals and the CMS.
- The Automobile Industry
- Handgun Advocates
- American Heart Association
- American Cancer Association
To compute hospital death rates, formulas for calculating include the number of patient deaths divided by number of patient discharges (including deaths).
Note: DOA are not included, because they were not admitted to hospital.
Note: Fetal deaths,ER, and out-patients, are not included.

In creating a new lifestyle it is valuable to develop a variety of practices to add to your routine. This variety provides the element of being eclectic; a whole world of possibilities is available through these ancient Chinese arts.
We are a lively community of people from all walks of life who are committed to the regular practice of this fun and invigorating art. Join us today!
Amy's Tai Chi Gong video is now available – see below for ordering and more information!
This class is designed to help you relieve stress, increase flexibility, improve balance, strengthen and tone muscles, and quiet the mind. Through gentle movements and meditative breathing, the natural healing rhythms of the body are reestablished. See the Calendar page for class schedule.
"I had been looking for a good tai chi instructor. I found this with Sifu Amy Erez. Her class is fun. Also, her manner of teaching is not stressful. She shows you what the postures mean or what they are used for. Her Qigong is good and very relaxing. I feel very comfortable when practicing the postures. After the class I feel calm." Donald Saindon
"I had been looking into Tai Chi as a way to help me with my balance, when I found Amy's class. And yes, Tai Chi has helped my balance. However, what I thought was going to be learning a set of rote movements, turned into something much more.
Amy is a calm and relaxed teacher – who stresses well being. The 'class' is a very welcoming group that reflect Amy's teaching. My wife commented to me that she feels so much better after our Tai Chi class, and that is true for me as well.
Jon Finch, a fellow student summed up Tai Chi better than I ever could: "The days that I least feel like going to Tai Chi – are the days that I benefit the most from Tai Chi."
Amy calls Tai Chi a practice – which I interpret to mean a lifelong learning process. I'm still learning the 'rote' movements – but there is always something new to learn about the moves I already know." Bryce Ikeda
"What I like about Tai Chi is that it is a moving meditation. For me that's wonderful because at times it's hard for my body to be still. My mind can be focusing on the movement and it's meditative.
I enjoy experiencing the depth of the body moving and being with the breath. It centers me, calms me and brings me back from whatever scattered place I'm in. The practice continues to grow as I continue to grow. It's not a stagnant process or form.
On a physical level, it's something I can do when I'm in pain and discomfort. It will ease and shift that. It has become part of my pain management. I started out with such extreme limitations that it gave me a way to get moving again in a safe, self-controlled fashion. It gave me back mobility, strength and balance. All the things I'd lost because of my injury and condition." Martha Scheer
"Your class has been great! I enjoy how you take the time to explain movements but also let everyone progress at their own speed. As you said many times, sometimes you are just doing it and then it just clicks! I enjoy the no pressure and your one on one approach very much." Joe Surges
Taught by Amy and Ofer Erez
Push Hands is the practical, martial application of the Tai Chi form. This class is for students who want to go the next step in their Tai Chi practice. Through a wide variety of partners exercises, you will learn how to sense, cultivate and circulate chi. Benefits include developing a strong sense of self, cultivating clear boundaries in relationships, and physical self-defense.
"When I added push hands to my Tai Chi training, it gave purpose and meaning to my practice."
Ann Nelson
"Push hands has been an eye-opening enhancement of Tai Chi and reinvigorated my practice, as it takes the Tai Chi form and postures into a practical self-defense application." Jon Finch
"Tai chi is a practical self-balancing practice. Push hands is a practical self-defense practice that is an extension of Tai chi. The two practices are two sides of the same coin to create a whole person. I am lovin' it." Nicky Tenney
"Push hands is a great way to progress with the practice of Tai Chi. Push hands provides the opportunity to see the practical application of the moves learned in the Tai Chi form. For me push hands has heightened my focus on the execution and completion of each move and has increased my awareness of my ability to interact with another person while using the principles of my Tai Chi practice." Tim Thor
with Amy Erez
This 110 minute DVD includes Yang-style Tai Chi Ch'uan Long Form (with verbal instruction or music), 35 Chi Gong exercises, Standing and Sitting Meditation, Saber Set, Stances, Walking and more.

text: My peaceful place. I sit, pray, meditate on God's word and try to listen to his Spirit speak to me. We live in a restless world with so many distractions. Our busy lives sometimes stop suddenly or we witness another slipping away before our eyes. In taking Anne to work today, I saw an ambulance attempting to rescue a person heading to work. It made me realize that life goes by so quickly and I need to take the time to listen to God and find peace in my busyness as well.
