One chore that everyone seems to hate is vacuuming their home.
If you have pets, you probably vacuum at least twice as often as your non-pet-loving friends… because pet hair buildup can be a nightmare – especially if you or someone in your home suffers from allergies.
If you are ready to get this nagging chore out of your life, then a robot vacuum is just what you are looking for.
Robot vacuums have been going through a bit of a specialization phase recently, and manufacturers are now building all sorts of unique models for specific types of cleaning needs and floors.
As a result, there are some really great robotic vacuums designed specifically for removing pet hair from your home.
In this article we will discuss the best robotic vacuum cleaners for cleaning up pet hair.

The following chart and reviews compare the best robotic cleaners for vacuuming up pet hair and other allergens lurking in your home.
Roomba 980: BEST OVERALL
While the Roomba 980 is not advertised specifically as a robot vacuum cleaner for pets, it has to be considered as being one of the best to perform this task. The 980 does a superb job of picking up pet hair and removing allergens from the air.
It has enough power to tackle the tough job of vacuuming pet hair from thick shag carpet and can clean multiple rooms in one cycle.
The 980 is the most powerful Roomba on the market.
It uses their new AeroForce cleaning system and implements a carpet boost technology that increases the power of the vacuum when it is on thicker carpet or areas that are extra dirty.
The 980 also will automatically recharge when needed and then go back to where it left off and finish its cleaning job from where it left off.
When it comes to the iRobot 980, there are very few limitations.
The battery life could be better, and at times the robot will get stuck under the furniture.
Another downfall of this robot vacuum is that it is fairly expensive. But the Roomba 980 is the best way to handle frequent cleaning throughout your home, win a minimum of fuss.
Roomba 690 / 650 / 655: MOST PROVEN
The iRobot Roomba 650 and its latest version, the Roomba 690, is one of the best-selling robot vacuums of all time.
And for good reason.
The Roomba 650 / 690 is a value-conscious purchase for cleaning one room at a time. It does not have all the features of many more recent cleaners, but it does the job that it was designed to do and is a reliable appliance, to boot.
The Roomba 650 and 690 uses a multi-stage cleaning system that will first agitate the floor and then suction it clean. You can press a button to start the cleaning process or you can schedule automatic cleanings to occur at your convenience. The Roomba 690 adds WiFi connectivity and smartphone app integration, so you can schedule and activate the unit on the go.
The iAdapt navigation system used in this line relies on a visual camera to navigate quickly and efficiently throughout a single room. The vacuum will also not tumble down the stairs, as it will identify and avoid stairs and other drop offs.
The 650 / 690 is considered the base model Roomba, and because of this it lacks features that are found in newer models. The Roomba will require you to clean the brushes and dust bins frequently.
Another consumer complaint is that it does not always clean the corners of the room, it struggles with high-pile shag carpet and it struggles with larger pieces of debris.
The Roomba 650 / 690 is one of the best selling robotic vacuums for a reason. It comes with all of the features that you need, but maybe not all of the features that you want.
It can only clean one room at a time, for example.
On the other hand, buying this unit will save you a lot of money – and it's proven to be a highly reliable floor maid.
Roomba 880 / 890: BEST MULTI-ROOM CLEANER
The first robotic vacuum on the list comes from iRobot. It is the Roomba 880 and its latest version, the 890
The Roomba 880 / 890 robotic vacuum stands out because it offers a superior cleaning system that allows it to remove almost twice as much dust, dirt, hair, and other debris from all different flooring types.
It also is the lowest-priced Roomba that can clean multiple rooms in a single cycle.
The system relies on its airflow accelerator that has a sealed chamber in order to provide concentrated airflow to achieve maximum results.
Another great feature of this robot vacuum is that it has tangle free extractors that require very little maintenance.
Another highlight of this vacuum is that it will completely clean one room before it moves on to the next one. This ensures that every little crumb is removed from the floor.
In addition, the Roomba 880 / 890 has a high efficiency filter that removes even the smallest particles from the air.
The 880 / 890 recharges on its own and you can set it up to clean even when you are not at home.
While the 880 does have a lot to offer, there are a few things missing that need to be considered.
First, the instruction manual is a bit difficult to follow and could be better. This is definitely not a deal breaker, as you can find informative videos on how to use the device online.
Another issue is that it will not stop cleaning when the dustbin is full. This means the even when the vacuum cannot take on any more debris, it will still continue to try and vacuum, which can lead to your floors not getting clean and potentially damage the device.
Another complaint about the Roomba 880 / 890 is that it tends to be a bit loud when running, which can be a bit distracting if you are home during the cleaning cycle.
The Roomba 880 / 890 offers many great features and does a great job of vacuuming up even larger debris.
Neato Botvac D80: BEST VALUE
The Neato Botvac D80 promises that it will pick up more pet hair than any of its competitors.
Owners of the robot agree, as their reviews praise this vacuum for its ability to get into the smallest spaces and to vacuum up the dirt and pet hair that often hides in these areas.
The classic D shape of this robot vacuum is what makes it unique as this design allows the vacuum to get directly into the corners of every room.
Another great feature of this vacuum is that it has an auto charge and resume. This means that if the robot is not finished cleaning a room, but its battery is low, it will go and charge itself and then go back to the spot that it left off and resume cleaning from there.
There are a few limitations of the Botvac D80. First, the robot does not have a remote, which means that you will have to turn it on manually. Another common problem with this vacuum is that it often will become stuck in cords and on the fringes of any rug that are on the floor.
Some consumers have complained about how often they have to clean the device in order to keep it working. One thing that seems to need to be cleaned quite often are the sensors.
The D80 is one of the most affordable vacuums from Neato. It offers many great features and can clean up pet hair extremely well.
However, it does require a bit of maintenance to keep it running and it struggles with rugs and cords that are found on the floor.
Neato XV 21 Pet Allergy Robot Vacuum
The XV-21 from Neato is a top of the line robotic vacuum cleaner for pet hair and allergies.
This powerful cleaning system in this unit was designed with pet owners and people with allergies. as this little vacuum will pick up even the tiniest of particles from rugs and hard surfaces.
The high performance XV cleaning system removes dirt and debris from hardwood flooring, carpets, rugs, laminate, tiles, and stone surfaces. It will return to its charging base when the cleaning session ends.
The Neato XV-21 also has a scheduling feature that allows you to schedule cleanings for any time that you wish.
Overall, this vacuum is ideal for allergy sufferers and pet owners. It will thoroughly clean all types of flooring and the cleanings are automatic.
There are many great things about the Neato vacuum. However, there are a few places it lacks as well. The battery life could be a bit better as it often runs out before an entire room is cleaned.
Another consumer complaint about this device is that on occasion it misses cleaning edges of walls and crevices. One other concern for some people is the fact that it does not have a remote.
Overall, the Neato XV 21 remains a top contender when it comes to the best robot vacuum for pets and allergies.
This vacuum offers great suction, a large HEPA filter, and even has a larger dust bin than many other robotic vacuums on the market. The price is reasonable, which makes it a good choice for many home and pet owners.
Neato XV Signature Pro Pet & Allergy Robot Vacuum
Another quality option from Neato is the XV Signature.
This robot vacuum cleaner offers extremely strong suction combined with roller brushes designed to pick up pet hair as it moves along the floor.
The precision brushes featured on this robotic vacuum are state of the art and designed specifically to pick up pet hair. The brushes will work on all types of flooring including carpets, hardwood, stone, tile, and laminates.
The D-shaped design lets this robot get where other robots cannot. It can get into the smallest corners of a home as well as underneath furniture, beds, couches, etc.
You can schedule the vacuum for daily cleanings or you can simply press a button and send the Neato on its way whenever you want.
There are many great things about this robot vacuum, including the price.
However, the dustbin of is a bit small.
In addition, it does not automatically resume cleaning after recharging.
The robot vacuum can also make a bit more noise than others when running.
Overall, the Neato XV Signature Pro is one of the best robotic vacuums currently on the market.
The price is lower than many of the higher end vacuums offered by Roomba – but it offers many of the same features.
bObsweep Pet Hair Vacuum Cleaner And Mop
The bObsweep Pet Hair handles pet hair and allergens very well, and it comes at a much lower cost than some of the other robot vacuums on this list.
One of the best things about this bObsweep is the fact that it can multitask.
This not-so-little robot maid can sweep, mop, and vacuum your floors all at once.
It can even sterilize your floors during the process.
Other highlights of the bObsweep is that it has a top of the line HEPA filtration system to help keep allergens swept up and out of your home.
The highly sensitive dirt sensors of the robot keep it focused on the dirtier parts of your floor.
The bObsweep robotic vacuum is a lower budget option for pet owners. However, with this lower price tag comes a few limitations to consider.
First, there have been complaints about the robot becoming stuck on obstacles and on loose cords quite often.
Another issue that consumers have complained about is that the vacuum seems to struggle with darker colored floors and rugs. In addition, it is too tall to reach under furniture that sits lower to the ground.
Overall, bObsweep is a nicely featured budget cleaner that not only vacuums-up pet hair well, but it will also mop your floors and sanitize them.
This is an excellent choice for those with lots of hard flooring who also want an affordable vacuum cleaner.
Roomba 770 For Pets And Allergies
The Roomba 770 is a step up from the 650.
Like the 650, the 770 is a great vacuum for people who suffer from allergies and/or have pets. And, it only cleans one room at a time.
But this robot vacuum comes with a few more features and a bit more cleaning power.
While it is more expensive than the 650, it is still budget friendly.
The vacuum cleaner has superior cleaning capabilities starting with its amount of suction power.
The 3 stage cleaning system, which is seen in most iRobot vacuums, is used for the 770 as well.
The Roomba 770 also has a HEPA filter to make sure that even the tiniest particles are trapped within your vacuum and out of the air in your home.
The excellent iAdapt navigation system expertly drives the 770 throughout your home.
Unlike the 650, the 770 also includes an excellent dirt detection technology that helps the vacuum clean more thoroughly and evenly by identifying spots on the floor that are dirtier and spending more time on them.
As with all robot vacuums, the Roomba 770 has a few limitations to consider.
First, the vacuum struggles to clean darker colored carpets. This is due to the visual cliff-detection technology that is used to keep the robot from tumbling down the stairs.
Another complaint about the Roomba 770 is the random cleaning pattern. This random pattern makes the cleaning process seem to take longer than it should.
About iRobot
The company that manufactures the Roomba is iRobot.
IRobot was founded in the year 1990 by roboticists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The vision of the company at the time was to make practical robots a reality for the everyday household. Since its start, iRobot has sold over 15 million robots throughout the world.
The company started out creating robots that have helped save thousands of lives throughout the world in areas of conflict, have revealed harmful oil in the Gulf of Mexico, and uncovered mysteries of the pyramids.
The first robot that navigated Mars was how the company got its start.
iRobot now has over 25 years of experience in the robot industry, which is just one of the reasons why this brand is considered the innovator in robotic vacuum cleaners.
The company has had many milestones over the years. In 2005 the company released the Scooba, which was a floor washing robot. During that same year the company became publicly traded on the Nasdaq exchange.
In 2008, the company really started focusing on its home robot vacuum line. Since then, it has launched many robot vacuums including the latest in 2015, the Roomba 980, considered the best robot vacuum on the market today.
The company also just released the Braava 380t jet which is a mopping robot that is ideal for mopping kitchens, bathrooms and hardwood flooring.
About Neato
Another top selling brand of robotic vacuums is Neato Robotics, based in California.
Neato currently offers an XV-series and a newly released BotVac series of robotic vacuum cleaners. The company is rather small with only about 65 employees.
Unlike the Roomba vacuum cleaners, that tend to randomly go through a room, the Neato robotic vacuums use a navigational mapping system that scans a room and then determines the best and most efficient route to take in order to clean a room.
While Neato has not been around for nearly as long as iRobot, the company has quickly created several really great robot vacuums.
Neato currently has four different models available and each of them is direct competitors with the Roomba series.
About bObsweep
The third top brand of robot vacuums for pet hair is bObsweep. This is a Canadian company, founded in 2011.
The company has operations in both the United States and in Canada.
The company offers 4 models of robot vacuums, the bObsweep, bObi, bObi pet, and the bObsweep Pet Hair.
The thing that makes bObsweep robotic vacuums stand out is that these models sweep, vacuum, mop – and sterilize your floors using UV light.
BobSweep has not been around for that long, but in the short time that they have been in the robotic vacuum business the company has put out a strong line of Roomba competitors.
Each model also offers a programmable cleaning schedule, HEPA filter, and automatically returns to the charging station.
Another unique feature about the vacuums from bObsweep is that the company uses recyclable materials to make their products.
In addition, the products use reusable, cleanable dustbins instead of disposable bags.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Paula Hawkins will enter the literary world within the next few weeks when her book Children at Risk begins appearing in Florida bookstores -- during the final, crucial days of her hard-fought Senate re- election campaign.
The senator`s campaign manager and publisher insist the book`s appearance was not timed to coincide with the elections, despite the fact that Hawkins, R-Fla., has made her Senate leadership role on behalf of children a key theme of her re-election bid.
But William Proctor, the New York writer who ``collaborated`` with Hawkins on her book about child abuse and exploitation -- including the incident when she was a victim of child molestation -- said he assumed throughout the year-long project that it had to be published before November to take advantage of the increased potential for sales.
``It would make sense to have it come out when she would be running for re- election because of the increased publicity she would be receiving,`` said Proctor, who has collaborated on numerous books, including Kenneth Cooper`s books on aerobics and evangelist and presidential candidate Pat Robertson`s Beyond Reason.
``I`m sure that was a consideration by the publisher,`` Proctor said.
The book, which will sell for $16.95, is scheduled out Oct. 6 but may actually be in bookstores by late September, according to Barbara Hendra, head of a New York firm handling promotions.
In the 128 pages of text, Hawkins recounts her own ordeal after being fondled as a 5-year-old by a kindly, elderly neighbor, a secret the senator kept hidden from her husband and children until she disclosed it publicly two years ago. She also relates her battles in the Senate to pass missing children`s legislation and offers suggestions to parents for protecting their children against abduction and exploitation.
The final 62 pages of the 191-page book list all the organizations across the country involved in children`s issues, including ones that aid missing and exploited children and their families.

Giovanni Marsters claims police fueled "false rumours" about the involvement of New Zealand gang members in the event through a large police presence at the nightclub.
He said while club management appreciated police's effort in beefing up event security, they had enough of their own security officers to control any incidents.
Marsters said the Fight Night was a huge success and everyone who attended the sold-out event enjoyed it.
Earlier this week, police said a number of activities around the island on Saturday warranted their presence at key spots on Rarotonga.
There was an unusually high number of police officers outside nightspots in Avarua over the weekend, which left many patrons baffled and prompted comments on social media.
About 20 uniformed police officers were seen around the On The Rocks Nightclub, although the Cook Islands Police Service declined to confirm exact numbers.
Police Commissioner Maara Tetava said officers conducted meetings and discussions with all of the hosts and organisers before the functions and events that took place on Saturday.
"The primary concern and role of the police at these various venues was to safeguard against any infringements of the law and keep the peace," he said.
"Police are grateful for the cooperation of all the venues and organisers of these events, as well as the higher number of patrons who frequented the town area on Saturday."
But Marsters says the club's owners feel victimised by police's actions on Saturday and the false rumours about the event spread in the community.
"The police say that alcohol and boxing don't go together. In the past, we always had boxing events at the Banana Court. We feel as the owners of On The Rocks that we are not being treated fairly.
"Police did go a little overboard and there are rumours that they actually tried to stop the fight from happening. We know that because not all the boxers turned up; they were told not to fight.
"For the sake of reducing crime on the island, I reckon police should have fielded a boxer themselves to make the event more integrated. They had one boxer who was supposed to fight, but he was told not to.
"That's what we heard."
Marsters said the purpose of hosting events such as the Fight Night was to give Cook Islanders, including ex-convicts, an opportunity to "redeem themselves".
He said On The Rocks was providing an avenue for people to keep out of trouble while helping nurture a future local Ultimate Fighting Club (UFC) star.
"There were rumours going around that there would be a big rumble.
"They got their idea from the sky. In fact it was safe. Even the fighters were happy; they mingled with the people after the fight and had a good time. Everything ran so smoothly.
"We had no problem with the police presence, it just goes to show that the rumours were not true.
"But I want to send a strong message out to those who want to cause trouble in town, especially in our bar and any other bars: (they should) do it the right way and come into the ring if they think they are man enough. Hopefully through this, we can send a Cook Islander to the UFC in the future."
Marsters thanked UFC star Mark Hunt, adding the heavyweight champion was an inspiration to Cook Islanders.
He said the Fight Night would now be staged annually over Queen's Birthday weekend.

Sweet sweet sweet sweet.
I have no show tomorrow night, I shall blog and draw to my heart's content. Right now I am going to bed in around 10 minutes, so at 00.20, which, for me, is ridiculously early. I'm quite hungry after my walk home so I figure I better go to sleep now before it develops into full blown proper hunger.
Can't wait to see Cryptacize again on Thursday. I bought the ticket to see Final Fantasy, but wow, Cryptacize…. check them out. They're brilliant. I'll do some gushing praiseful review tomorrow evening. Also, another one to investigate is Woodpigeon. Mark Hamilton is awesome. The Bobby McGees are playing Pure Groove on Thursday lunch and I would recommend them, they're alot of fun. YACHT are doing an instore next week as well. There's probably more cool stuff a happenin' which I shall investigate tomorrow…

ECHL Players Start Fighting Inside Penalty Box (Video)
During a recent game between the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies and Colorado Eagles, a fight between two players began in the most bizarre way possible.
One guy got so heated that he skated over to the penalty box and started fighting his opponent, because HOCKEY.
"After being sent to the box for cross-checking, Grizzles forward Jon Puskar exchanged some words with Eagles defenseman Michael Sdao while the door was still open. Whatever he said clearly ticked off Sdao, because the Eagles player then stepped into the box and began throwing punches at him."

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. >> Coming into Friday's co-featured Lake George Stakes (G3), Proctor's Ledge had run respectably in three graded-stakes tries, finishing no worse than fourth in any of them. But the three-year-old Ghostzapper filly had yet to make it into the winner's circle in an added-money race.
All of that changed in the $150,000 Lake George. Given a moderate amount of respect at 6-1, Proctor's Lodge broke away from a crowded field in upper stretch, drawing off in the final furlong to prevail by 1¾ lengths. The running time was 1 minute, 41.47 seconds for 1 1/16 miles over firm Mellon Turf.
Party Boat was second, followed by Fifty Five, Chubby Star, Fizzy Friday, favored Defiant Honor (3-1), Dream Dancing, Victory to Victory, Super Marina and Sweeping Paddy.
"[This] is huge for me," said winning trainer Brendan Walsh. "Everything hasn't quite fallen into place the last few times, but she did it today, so I'll credit everybody. We finally got it right."
Longshot Chubby Star (16-1) led the field of ten through three-quarters in a pokey 1:13.18, with Sweeping Paddy and Victory to Victory keeping her company in second and third. Proctor's Ledge, in good stalking position in fourth, was urged on by jockey Javier Castellano, reaching contention at the top of the stretch.
With three-sixteenths to run, a half-dozen horses appeared to be still in with a chance. But Proctor's Ledge spurted away to a 1½-length lead at the eighth pole, and was able to maintain that advantage to the wire.
"I loved the way she did it," said Castellano. "She got a slow pace, good position, and she finished good. She was in a comfortable rhythm. She was in a good spot, and turning for home she kicked really well.
"It feels great to get a [stakes] win at Saratoga [on Opening Day]," Castellano added. "I get to ride the best horses in the country. The top jockeys are all here, and everybody wants to be at the top."
Castellano was third in last year's contest for top jockey and second in 2015.
The win was Proctor's Ledge third in seven starts, and the $90,000 winner's share increased the Patricia L. Moseley homebred's career earnings to $181,083.
Asked about plans for the Kentucky-based winner, Walsh said, "We might come back to run later in the meet. We'll leave her here and see how she comes out of [this race], and go from there. I think she's going to have a hell of second half of the year, and I think she's going to be a better filly next year."

Today slice of World Wide Weirdness comes courtesy of the videography of Ceven Knowles, the musical act Stark Effect, a girl named Miriam and the bizarre phenomena of mic-in tracks. See, back in the ancient days of file sharing, a popular MP3 program used to name its recordings "mic in track" followed by a number and these tracks, which lived in the programs default music directory, were frequently unwittingly shared with all the other grubby little music pirates of the world. Most of this stuff was almost certainly never intended for public consumption, which is why so much of it is so damn awesome. Anyway, some crazy musicians (Stark Effect) decided to sample some of these crazy recordings and then some crazy videographer (Knowles) matched them with some images and voila -- the video you'll find after the jump. As a bonus, if you visit Stark Effect's mic in track page, he has dozens of raw mic in tracks for your amusement (and sampling, if you like that sort of thing).

Keith Hernandez Got Loopy During the Mets' 18-Inning Game (Video)
It's easy to take for granted, but the fact is that baseball announcers are just doing their job like everyone else. So when a game goes into extra innings, like, EIGHTEEN extra innings as the Mets-Cardinals game did on Sunday, you have to understand that Mets announcer Keith Hernandez would be a little miffed for having to put in two day's work for one measly regular season baseball game.
At least, I hope you would understand. Because towards the end of the game, Hernandez was like a gradeschooler waiting for the bell to ring. He was lamenting his missed flight, how tired he was, and everything else. It was pretty fantastic.
I mean, he could have been one of those crazy old-timers who was talking about how this is what baseball is all about, and how the fans are really getting their money's worth. But instead, he did this:
It's easy to forget that Keith Hernandez can't really get up and walk away. He was there for six hours while the Mets apparently went 1-for-21. That would drive anyone to complain.

Contrasting Fortunes
This was qualifying, in Q2. I had been editing up until the end of Q1 and then got out on track for the middle session. I saw Fernando Alonso crawling round the corner and knew he wouldn't be able to get up the hill, so he'd have to get out of the car – and immediately there's a picture. So he pulled up and the marshals took a while to get to him and he started pushing it. I managed to catch a shot of Vettel's Ferrari passing Alonso pushing the car. I thought it was quite a nice picture because Alonso left McLaren for Ferrari and Vettel took his seat. This image shows the contrasting fortunes they're having this year – even more so as Vettel went on to win the race.
Camera model: Nikon D4S | Exposure time: 1/125s Aperture: F22 | ISO speed : 200
Up In Smoke
This was FP2 and I'd been at the chicane, getting shots of cars jumping the chicane, so I went off to look for some other angles. It was quite hot but I decided to walk and I saw this pan shot against the crowd and put my long lens down. As I put the long lens down the crowd started cheering and I looked up and there was Daniel Ricciardo right in front of me, plume of smoke coming out of the back. I thought he was about to catch fire so I put my other camera down, took the longer lens off for the wide-angle one and this here is the first shot I got pretty much. It was just amazing, he stopped right in front of me and I don't think many other photographers got this shot. He then came over and had a little chat because he was concerned about how he was going to get back to the pit lane!
Camera model: Nikon D4 | Exposure time: 1/1600s | Aperture: F8 | ISO speed : 400
A game-changing moment
I did about 30 minutes of the race and then arranged to go up on the roof, which puts you in pole position for the finish shot, parc ferme and podium. As I got up there it was all kicking off – there were cars coming down the pit lane behind the safety car and I couldn't understand why until I saw the replay. And then everything just happened in front of me, pit-stops, drive-throughs, everything. Being that nearby was great and I was right on top of Mercedes' pit box so when Rosberg came in with his puncture I was right there to capture that because it was one of the key moments in the race and could be one of the big moments in the championship fight with Lewis Hamilton.

Starting a band – past experience
Feb 3, 2010 How to start a band
Posted by Steve
Previous band – Titiksha
We decided we would be an originals band and we had a pair of guitarists. We put an appropriately bad ad in the local classifieds: "Drummer wanted for sh*tty punk band" and only got a single reply. The guy was a great drummer but was really into playing songs he already knew. Mostly covers.
With persistence, we eventually got around this roadblock and found a decent bassist. The next 2 problems ultimately spelled the end for our band. The first was that we weren't clear on how much everyone needed to spend. The second was that we weren't flexible enough stylistically.
One of our band members almost never had cash. This meant that if we needed to practice in a rehearsal studio, we'd have to lend him money. If we wanted to get a professional recording done, we had to wait until a friend was doing a project and needed a band. There are ways to do most things in a band on the cheap but sometimes it can slow the progress of the band down.
Musically, we all liked similar enough bands but our songs had to be the perfect mix of styles or we wouldn't do them. In hindsight we should have been more open to playing bar chords (we had a big thing for riffs) and more willing to give different genres a go. We lost a number of songs and 2 great vocalists due to our stubbornness over musical genre. Of course, this could all be summed up as "musical differences" however beggars can't be choosers.
The nail in the coffin was around our song writing process which I'll discuss at a later date.
Current band – Throw Catch
The members of Throw Catch are all quite flexible stylistically and are very willing to play each others songs. Our practice time table is a reasonable mix of flexibility and consistency and everyone is happy with it.
When it comes to spending money, nobody is overly short on cash and we're willing to spend if absolutely necessary. Put simply, we have money but we're all a bit tight.
We're all very busy people but we are all willing to sacrifice other things for the band. Still, it's difficult to work out when practice will be. Fortunately we're all tech savvy enough to use an online spreadsheet to show our availability and respond to emails in a timely fashion.
We've been together for just under 2 years and have only started gigging recently. At the 1 year mark we played a couple of parties to get some experience with a short set. We now have a 40 minute set that we're happy with and all very excited about.
Spending 2 years writing songs is a long time and something others could've done a lot quicker. Given our busy schedules (including trips overseas that set us back 4 months) 2 years was something we had to work towards. The "party gigs" we played 1 year in really lifted our spirit and proved to us that we were doing something worthwhile.
We learned that it's important to set milestones. Eg: Let's do a few 25 minute gigs after 1 year and start doing regular 40 minute gigs after 2.
One thing we aren't all in agreement on is what happens to songs someone has written if they leave. If we want to keep using the songs, our opinions fall into two camps. Either "permission should be sought" or "it's fine as long as credit and appropriate royalties are given (if money is earned directly from the song)". We will be discussing the pros and cons of this as a band and I will go over the points of view in a future post.

It's safe to say I'm a dream-chasing enthusiast. I'm big on following your heart and living out your authentic purpose. I believe that this one-time life is too short to do anything but that. Dreams can be risky, and when we act upon them, the risk is usually amplified by others telling us all the negative possible outcomes - there are so many possibilities as to what can happen. However, as a dreamer, your job isn't to get everyone on board with your plan, but to instead, your job is to actualize the plan. Make it happen. The first step of that is changing your dream from a goal to a plan. I think it sets it more in stone - goals are more of what you'd like to achieve, while plans are what you will achieve. Focus on what it will take to make it your reality. I like to envision my dream already happening. I think the more you do that, the more you get closer to it - the more energy of it you attract (if that makes sense?). Many people don't give themselves the permission to dream big enough. They set limits for themselves and let others' failures sit in the way. Do not set a limit for yourself. Also, don't forget gratitude. Have gratitude for you where you already are in life. Have gratitude for what will come. If you've just hit rock bottom, have gratitude that you did because now the only way to go is up. If you're looking for support for your dreams, turn inward. Look within yourself. Your heart will be the best cheerleader to help you transition to where you really want to be. Have you ever told someone about your goal, and received a less-than-supportive response? Dreamer set the stage for what is possible and they paint the picture of an ideal life. For some people, this can create a fear as they battle with their own personal lost hopes and desires. Do not let them derail you. Instead, use it as fuel to fire your motivation. But just remember, not everyone will support you. Not everyone's dreams fit for everyone and the best thing you can just do is move forward and be a supportive friend towards your supporters and fellow dreamers. Whatever it is, whether it be running your first marathon, backpacking across Europe, starting up your own business, dreams take courage. When you start leading your life with your dreams in full focus, you will see those in your life that actually matter rising with you and fully supporting you. Here are 12 quotes/mantras that may spark your inspiration:
1. Your time is too valuable to be distracted by negative people. Don't let anyone talk you our of your dreams.
2. Don't tell people your dreams. Show them.
3. Dreams don't have an expiration date; pick yourself up and try again. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it wont.
4. If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you.
5. Don't follow a trend; follow your heart.
6. A dream is a wish from your heart; you woe it to yourself to follow through.
8. Don't let anyone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of yours.
9. The most awesome pleasure in life is doing what others said you couldn't do.
10. Set dreams so big you have to grow into the person to achieve them.
11. Believe in the person you are becoming, your dreams matter.
12. If you're waiting until you feel talented enough to make it, you'll never make it.

If you like it 'teekha', you'll enjoy this versatile sauce. Serve as a dipping sauce for with meats and fish, or use as marinade. If topped off with vinegar, it will keep for 1 year in fridge in a covered jar.
My husband really liked this stuff and there's nothing to it, but it packs a great flavor. I chopped my ginger into match strips and stuffed it into a jar and covered it with just enough vinegar. I added some of this to a dipping sauce I made out of soy sauce, sugar, garlic oil and a little water. I'm sure I'll find many more uses for this. Thanks for sharing. - 07 Feb 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
A little overpowering, but good flavor. - 22 Feb 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I love having ginger paste ready to use. I don't know about the claim that it will keep a year in the refrigerator. I would prefer to freeze in small portions and store in the freezer. Having ginger already minced and ready to use really helps cut down on preparation time. - 11 Feb 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK | Ireland)

It was always my gift for every holiday and every birthday – an Audrey Hepburn book."

Well, my friends, It's official. There are no more black plastic storage trunks in my life.
Today was a momentous occasion for me. My heart filled with joy as I emptied the contents of the last black tub into the cabinet, and carried the tote across the house to join the collection of other empties.
It has been 4 months that I have dug around in those things each day for my shirts, extra lotion, printer paper, games, etc. But NOW, I am free from the temporary luggage, and I am living like a real person who keeps their belongings in a closet! Or in a cabinet! Or in a drawer!! Or in a nice looking basket on the shelf! Anywhere, but in a black tub!!
Feeling more and more like we're actually living here...


text: Patient Guide to TENS Patient Guide to TENS What can TENS be used for How to use TENS During the TENS treatment After the TENS treatment Electrodes - How to use them Position of the electrodes When do you replace electrodes Preparing your TENS Programme Settings Electrodes Placement Neck Pain Shoulder Pain Lumbar, Back and Hip Pain Wrist, Legs, and Arm Pain Caution Read operation manual before use of TENS. We emphasize that patient with an implanted electronic device (for example, a pacemaker) should not undergo TENS treatment without first consulting a doctor. The same applies to patients with any metallic implants. If TENS therapy becomes ineffective or unpleasant, stimulation should be discontinued until its use is re-evaluated by the physician or therapist. Avoid adjusting controls while operating machinery or vehicles. Turn the TENS off before applying or removing electrodes. PLEASE NOTE!! Before using your TENS Machine, or further information on its operation. Please read the manufactures instructions carefully. Patient Guide to TENS TENS can be used for Tens can be used to treat most types of pain where the cause has been determined including: Arthritis Back Pain Bruising Calf Strain Dead Leg Fibrositis Joint Pain Headaches Migraines Knee Pain Lumbago Muscle Stress Neck Pain Neuralgia Osteo-arthritis Period Pains Postherpetic Neuralgia Pregnancy/ Labour Pains Rheumatism Sciatica Shoulder Pain Sleeplessness Spondylosis Sports Injuries Tennis Elbow Tenosynovitis Wrist Pain How to use your TENS? It is useful for you to have a pain assessment before you start TENS. This will identify what kind of pain you have and exactly where it is. If you have numb areas on your skin for example, these will need to be avoided as TENS needs an intact nerve pathway to work. Two channel (four electrode) machines are more flexible especially if the pain is large or widespread. Start with conventional TENS with a continuous pulse settings. Use middle pulse frequency(approx 80-100 per second) and pulse duration (100-200 microseconds). Increase the intensity until the sensation is strong and a little uncomfortable, then turn it down slightly, until comfortable. You may need to experiment with the settings as there is no sure way of telling which combination will suit you without trial and error. Put the electrodes on normal healthy skin. Check to make sure you dont't have any cust or other breaks in the skin which could be very uncomfortable and react badly. Take time to find the best electrodes placements - this may be tricky. During the TENS treatment If your muscles start to twitch. This may mean that the TENS signals are too strong or too fast. If you cannot feel any tingling at all. This may mean that the signal is too weak or too slow. The electrodes should be removed at least once a day if the TENS treatment is used around the clock. The skin under the electrodes must be checked to see if it is red or tender. The skin should also be cleaned and dried while the electrodes are off. Put lotion on your skin where the electrodes were placed. The electrodes should be put in a new place for each new treatment. This will help prevent the skin from becoming red or sore. After the TENS treatment Turn the control knobs to "OFF". Unplug the electrode wires from the TENS unit. The electrodes may be left on your skin if you will have another TENS treatment soon. If not, remove the electrodes. Wash the skin where the electrodes were placed. Put the self adhesive electrodes back in the packing and store in a dry cool place.

"The discussion of transportation by wa ter naturally divides itself into two parts, transportation upon the ocean and upon inland waterways.

The volume, as a whole, is a treatise on the economics of transportation by water and is intended to be a complement to the author's work on "American Railway Transportation," the first edition of which appeared in 1903." - from the preface, p.vii.

"In the autumn of 1943 the Germans intr oduced a new weapon to the sea war, It was the gnat, an acoustic homing torpedo fired from a U-boat, and , and leaving the wolf packs to slaughter theunprotected Atlantic convoys. Admiral Dönitz thus hoped to reverse the dis astrous U-boat losses of earlier in that year and regain supremacy in the Battle of the Atlantic. Yet Allied air and sea forces proceeded to sink thirty-four 34 U-boats in just forty-four days! This achievement is examined indetail. For the first time the U-boat successes, some very great, and thei r failures are fully described in a narrative style. Many U-boats were sunkby the combination of American, British and Canadian aircraft. Avenger, Bi sley, Fortress, Halifax, Hudson, Liberator, Mariner, Mitchell, Sunderland, Ventura and Wellington aircraft all achieved successes, The little ships came into their own also, as sinkings were attributed to corvette, destroyer,frigate, sloop, trawler and even submarine.

The First World War, which spanned 1914 – 1918, easily qualifies as one of the most tragic global events of the 20th century. It was the cause of much loss of life, destruction of resources and property, and an increasingly strained set of international relations. Though most of us have some idea of what transpired during WWI, the following facts are rarer titbits of information not everyone knows about.
Weapons that could shoot jets of fire up to 40 meters ahead, flamethrowers were first used by the Germans during the war.
During WWI, a large-scale population shift took place where African-Americans shifted from southern states to the north.
Russia had managed to mobilize the largest body of troops during WWI. More than 75% of the 12 million Russians who were enlisted died, got wounded or were never found.
The British lost nearly 60,000 troops in one day, which is the single largest wartime casualty to occur in their history.
Around 33% of the troops who died in WWI were victims of the Spanish Flu.
The most decorated American officer from WWI was Alan Cullum York, who not just led an attack against the Germans, but managed to capture 132 soldiers, kill another 28, and even round up 32 machine guns.
In August 1914, the German army killed 150 civilians at Aerschot with the express purpose of terrifying them so they wouldn't rebel.
Pigeons and dogs were used as messengers between those at the front line and those at the headquarters.
According to witness accounts, explosives being used on Messines Ridge in Belgium in 1917 could be heard 220 km away in London.
Trench warfare had such a massive impact on millions of soldiers who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which caused uncontrollable diarrhoea, whimpering, twitching and so on.
Rittmeister von Richthofen is often deemed the best pilot to have fought in WWI. He shot down 80 enemy planes which is the highest recorded achievement by a single person.
Women were enlisted as telephone operators in Europe to serve Pershing's forces. American soldiers called them "Hello Girls".
The French army had a gun which, at 75mm, was accurate up to 4 miles. The Germans called it the "Devil Gun".
When USA initially refused to join the war, some American individuals joined the British or Canadian Army and even the French Foreign Legion.
Gases were also used as a means of exterminating the enemy and over 90,000 individuals across countries died due to exposure to toxic gases
Woodrow Wilson got elected to office for the second time on March 1917, his campaign was based on the slogan "He kept us out of war". Ironically, about a month after his election, USA joined the war.
The WWI saw the usage of machine guns in a big way. Most such weapons used were based on the maxim design, patented in the US in 1884.
The US shipped over 75 million tons of supplies over to France, including horses, mules, locomotives, trucks and freight cars, to support the Allied Forces' military effort.
In order to generate adequate food supplied for sustaining the war, 20 million Americans planted personal gardens for produce.
Before 1918, when the military helmets did not provide adequate protection against toxic gases, soldiers used urine-soaked clothes to cover their mouths and prevent intoxication/death.
A term that came into vogue during the WWI was dogfighting. It was a form of air combat where pilots, on turning planes sharply, had to shut the engines to prevent stalling. On restarting these, the engines produced a sound akin to dog barks.
The French and not the Germans were the first to begin chemical warfare. They first used tear gas grenades in August 1914
Post the WWI, four major world empires – The Russian Empire, Ottoman Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire and German Empire – witnessed a downfall.
The WWI has been variously termed as "The Great War", "The War of the Nations" and the "War To End All Wars".
Though the First World War took a great toll on human life, it is actually the 6th most deadly conflict of the world.
Most of the WWI was fought in Europe. The combat also touched every ocean across the world and almost all continents too.
The Germans had very elaborate trenches equipped with faucets, lights, doorbells, bunk beds and other amenities. British trenches were far more functional and bare.
British tanks were categorized as "Male" or "Female" based on the equipment they carried. "Female Tanks" carried machine guns, while "Male Tanks" carried cannons.
Belgium's "Pool of Peace" fills a 12 m deep crater created by the explosion of 45 tons of explosives commissioned by the British.
Amongst other war technology, Germans also had 13 huge guns called Big Berthas which could fire 930-kg shells and required a crew of 200 men for 6 hours to be fired.
With suspicion and treachery being so widely prevalent, several individuals on both sides were accused of being double agents. Margaretha Zelle a.k.a. Mata Hari was executed by the French in 1917 on the same grounds though she never agreed to being a spy.
Just before dying, a French Second Lieutenant Alfred Joubaire recorded his impression of WWI in his diary claiming that "Humanity is mad…Hell cannot be so terrible".
A telegram sent by Germany to Mexico was deciphered by British Cartographers. They believed the Germans had been egging Mexico to invade the US.
It goes without saying that WWI drained numerous economies of their financial and other resources. The USA, which fought the war for only a year and a half, incurred expenditure of 30 billion dollars.
Since "hamburger" has German roots, the Americans renamed their burgers as "Salisbury Steaks" during WWI.
Even as the US government had not granted citizenship to Native Americans, nearly 13,000 people of this community fought in the war.
In 1914, Christmas Eve came with a truce on both sides of the Western Frontier that no combat was to take place. Soldiers even sang carols to each other. The next year however, orders were to shoot anyone who tried the same thing again.
An extremely devoted British nurse who helped soldiers on both sides, Edith Cavell was executed by the German Army by being shot by a firing squad.
With its involvement in WWI, the US established itself as the largest military power in the world.
The experience of WWI led to medical advancement in that doctors gained more proficiency with wound management and setting of bones.
Amongst the various peace treaties that aided the war's end, The Treaty of Versailles gave Alsace and Loraine back to the French, further stating that Germans were responsible for the war
Archival records suggest that a whopping 65 million soldiers from 30 countries fought in the war which led to a death toll of almost 10 million fightes.
With the end of the first World War, several nations including Poland, Latvia, Finland, Estonia and Lithuania emerged as independent nation states
The WWI gave rise to the institution of the League of Nations for maintenance of world peace. However, after another war, it was replaced by a stronger body, i.e. the UN.

I want to thank you for your expertise and kindness in helping me purchase my new tires. It all worked out on that Friday. Greg at Volvo was nice as well BUT not as nice as you guys. It was very much appreciated. Thanks again!
