Re: sky dropping from hub
Welcome to the forum fergal.
Just to kick things off and I am sorry if you have been asked any of these before, but could you provide some information of the following please:
- Do you have any crackling on your telephone line? (see below)
- Could you post the fill connection stats of your router please? (see below)
- Is it just the Xbox which experiences this problem?
- How is the Xbox connected to the router?
How to check if you have any crackling on your telephone line
Using a corded telephone, plugged into the socket in the filtered faceplate (otherwise the Test Socket behind the faceplate) dial '1' and listen for any noise. You may hear a faint background hiss, but ideally it should be silent. If the BTO Engineer fitted the VDSL faceplate you shouldn't hear a high pitched fax machine, but this is a possibility.
Any crackling, especially when the wind is blowing if you have a overhead telephone line, indicates a line problem.

Re: sky dropping from hub
appears with router up time in stats its not line that's dropping connection more like wireless dropping out
Re: sky dropping from hub
my xbox is connected to my tv at connected to the router by an Ethernet cable and it disconects my xbox when router drops out.
Re: sky dropping from hub
Could you post your router's stats again please.
One of the things we look for is how long the router has been connected and it is clear from those stats that the router had just been reconnected to the Internet. I guess that this was due to the engineer's visit.
It will be useful to see how well it has stayed connected since.

Dead iPhone Data Recovery: Ways to Recover Data from Dead iPhone
Recovering data from dead iPhone
My iPhone went completely dead yesterday. It wouldn't take a charge, nothing it just died. I took it to the Apple store and they pronounced it dead. I had recently backed it up when I installed iOS 9.3.2. My question is, is it possible to recover the photos and videos that resided on it? I didn't sync it with iTunes recently.Any suggestions?
How to Recover Data from Dead iPhone
My iPhone is dead. If you search it online, you'll find lots of people looking a solution to recover data from their dead iPhone. After all, the device has been dead, saving the data is urgent. Well, to recover data from dead iPhone, you need the help of a third-party program, which can help to directly scan your iPhone and take data on it. If you don't have a choice yet, here is my recommendation: dr.fone - Data Recovery (iOS). This dead iPhone data recovery software can help to recover data including contacts, SMS, photos, videos, notes, and more, including recovering data from broken iPhone and recovering data from iPhone in recovery mode, etc.
dr.fone - Data Recovery (iOS)
World's 1st iPhone and iPad data recovery software
- Provide with three ways to recover iPhone data.
- Scan iOS devices to recover photos, video, contacts, messages, notes, etc.
- Extract and preview all content in iCloud/iTunes backup files.
- Selectively restore what you want from iCloud/iTunes backup to your device or computer.
- Compatible with latest iPhone models.
Part 1: Recover dead iPhone data by scanning it
To get started, connect your dead iPhone to the computer and confirm if it can be detected by your computer. If yes, please follow the steps below to recover data from your dead iPhone. If not, please follow the solutions in the part 2 and the part 3.
Step 1. Connect your dead iPhone to the computer
Launch the dr.fone software after you download and install it on your computer, then connect your dead iPhone to the computer with a digital cable. It doesn't matter, even it doesn't work. Just do it. After connecting your iPhone, you'll get an interface as follows.
Step 2. Scan your dead iPhone for data on it
After that, you'll be told you've successfully entered the device's scanning mode and the software begins scanning your iPhone now. If you are using iphone 5 and later version, some of the media content will be difficult to detect and recover. However,it's safe to recover text content from the iphone directly.
Text Contents:Messages (SMS, iMessages & MMS), Contacts, Call history, Calendar, Notes, Reminder, Safari bookmark, App document (like Kindle, Keynote, WhatsApp history, etc.
Media Contents: Camera Roll (video & photo), Photo Stream, Photo Library, Message attachment, WhatsApp attachment, Voice memo, Voicemail, App photos/video (like iMovie, iPhotos, Flickr, etc.)
Step 3. Preview & recover data from dead iPhone
The scan will stop after a few minutes. Found data will be displayed in categories, such as Camera Roll, Photo Stream, Contacts, Messages, etc. You can preview each of them one by one, and mark those you want to save them on your computer by clicking "Recover to Computer".
Note: The data found in each category includes those deleted recently. You can check them by sliding the button on the top: Only display the deleted items.
Part 2: Recover dead iPhone data by extracting iTunes backup files
To use this way to retrieve data from dead iPhone, you need to have an iTunes backup file at first. That's to say, you've ever synced your dead iPhone with iTunes before. Then you can do it.
Step 1. Run the program and check your iTunes backup file
After running the program, click "Recover from iTunes Backup File" from the side menu. Then you will see a list of all your iTunes backup files. You can choose any of them, and then click "Start Scan" to begin.
Step 2. Preview and recover data for your dead iPhone from iTunes backup
The scan will take you a few seconds. Once it's complete, you can preview all extracted content from the iTunes backup. Choose the category on the left side and check every item on the right. Tick the item that you want to recover and click "Recover" to save them all to your computer.
Part 3: Recover dead iPhone data by downloading iCloud backup files
To recover dead iPhone data from iCloud backup files, you need to have an iCloud backup. If you've enabled the iCloud backup feature on your iPhone or made an iCloud backup before, this way works for you.
Step 1. Sign in with your iCloud account
Choose "Recover from iCloud Backup File" from the side menu of dr.fone. Then you can see the window as follows. Enter your iCloud account and sign in.
Step 2. Downnload and extract your iCloud backup content
After you get in, you can see all your iCloud backup files listed. Choose the one for your dead iPhone, and click "Download" to get it off. When you do this, make sure that your internet connection is perfect. Then click "Start Scan" to extract the downloaded file later. This will take you a few minutes. Just do it according to the reminding message.
Step 3. Preview and recover data for your dead iPhone
When everything is done, you can preview the data one by one and decide which item you want. Check it and click "Recover" to get it.

Interestingly, while people are independently concerned about saving taxes and for maintaining the best possible health conditions, the two often happen in isolation. It would be indeed prudent to have a perspective on how both the objectives may be connected for a more holistic picture. Apollo Munich provides a smart perspective in this infographic.

It has been a long time since I posted……..I personally have been sitting back absorbing current events in the SMA community and sometimes that leads to stagnation. As a family we continue to move on…..focusing on today…..cherishing the moments…..living in the here and now.
It is extremely difficult being a parent…trying to appropriate time evenly between your children…….especially when one of them may need special attention due to a genetic mutation. Sophia's little brother Jackson has been nothing outside of incredible in his understanding of the needs of his sister Sophia. I have made a concerted effort as his father to try and balance the time between both of my children.
Since Jackson was three years old I have introduced him to martial arts. It is a way for us to bond…..just father and son…..going to class and having our moments together. We go to Muay Thai 4 days a week and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 4 times a week as well. He is our little "Gym Mouse" and he savors the opportunity when dad can focus solely on his accomplishments and abilities……and to be honest he deserves the attention.
I cannot speak enough about his coaches. They care about their students and have gone above and beyond in their tutelage Jackson.
A few weeks ago one of Jackson's coaches approached me about a fundraiser for Sophia. I was kind of shocked because it was something he wanted to do on his own……Coach Mike Maher from the UFC Gym Long Island had already started organizing an event for Sophia's Cure and SMA. I thought it was a great idea and a new opportunity to expand the knowledge of this disease to an entirely new community.
Coach Mike (Purple Belt Mike in Jackson's Book) really poured his heart and soul into this event. Coach Mike took second in the worlds as a Blue Belt in BJJ and I personally believe he put forth the same effort if not better in this event for SMA. Our family was very touched by Couch Mike Mahers dedication in making a difference for Sophia and SMA.
The entire coaching staff of the UFC GYM Long Island worked extremely hard at this event. I personally want to thank Coach Brandon Adames, Coach Mike Maher, Coach Mike Pepio, Coach Todd Black Dynomite Mueckenheim, Coach Tom-Tom Bastardi, GM of UFC GYM Long Island Jason Figorski, Anthony Risato, AJ Scavelli, Carisa Gaylardo, Amanda Basso, Erik Price, Rod Williams, Louis Palamo, Gabriel Ankil.
From the moment we walked in the event was electrified….the energy was amazing and everyone wanted to meet our Sophia!!!! We could not believe how packed out the Gym was, and we were excited to see that news of the event brought in families, fighters, Gym members and even Pro Kickboxer Wayne Barrett.
The event was catered by Prime, and they did an amazing job, everyone raved about the food!!! Every detail was taken care of expertly and we were so touched by the outpouring of love for our sweet girl.
We were also so surprised by the donation made by the class moms of Mrs Grahams K class at Saw Mill Elementary School!!!!!
Thank you to also Local 638 Steamfitters for coming out to support the event!!!
The fights were such a hit….the energy these fighters put into the day was so inspiring to watch!! At the end of the day we all had the same feeling, UFC Gym LI is not just another Gym…..its a family…..the sense of camaraderie was infectious and we are so thankful for their support and friendship!!!! The event raised over 50k for SMA research and having that number doubled is 100k for regenerative programs!!!!!!!! We are just blown away and so thankful to everyone involved!!! Lastly thank you to Bauzen photgraphy who came out to take pictures of the event…… Enjoy the pics

* Michael Grange, From Deep: Linton Johnson shouldn't unpack
"We're looking for defence, rebounding – those intangible things: getting on the floor for loose balls, bringing some grit and toughness to our basketball team. You can't keep asking for that. After a while of asking [if you don't get it] it's Bryan and my job go find it. We've been asking for that, but if it's not in their DNA, let's find someone for who it is in their DNA."
From this corner of the blogosphere … that ^^^ move, right there, is a 1st Class piece of work by the Raptors'
joint architects.
Will it work?
Time will tell.
[PS. See what the real Linton looks like in-person, first, then go forth from there. Okay, take your pick.]

We are honored to announce that the results are in and for the fifth straight year, Jezebel Magazine has named Dr. Kulkin and WIFH, Best of Atlanta for Smartlipo! Thank you Atlanta!
"We are proud to receive this designation yet again and thank everyone who took the time to vote. When I started WIFH 13 years ago my goal was to build a practice that focused on service and meeting each individual patient's needs, which is a very different concept from the current healthcare model where patients are just a number. I wanted to remove the barrier between the patient and the doctor and we've done that."
"I personally see every Smartlipo and Cellulaze consultation and after their procedure they have my cell phone number so if they need anything they can reach me directly. I'm happy to say I love what I do and I'm honored that patients love what we do too. Winning best of Atlanta is proof of that. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing patient's renewed self confidence when they look in the mirror and love what they see. We truly appreciate our patients, they are the reason for our success and we thank you for your loyalty, your referrals, your confidence and for naming WIFH Best of Atlanta for the fifth straight year."
Dr. Kulkin has now performed over 10,000 Smartlipo procedures. Smartlipo offers dramatic results without the downtime of traditional liposuction and let's face it, no one has time to be down. This procedure is performed using local anesthesia so you are awake and aware during the procedure, feeling no pain. In most cases patients can even drive themselves home. The results are amazing in as little as 4 weeks, so it's never too late to get the body you've always wanted.
Consultations are always free. We invite you to come and experience what makes us different and why Atlantans think we're the best!

Deliverology®, a term coined and defined by Sir Michael Barber, is the approach to managing and monitoring the implementation of activities that have significant long-lasting impact on citizen outcomes. In simple terms, Deliverology® is the art and science of successfully executing the campaign promises and important goals of an administration.
Sir Michael Barber is the world's leading authority on Deliverology®, having created the first Government Delivery Unit in the UK for the Tony Blair administration. He is the Chairman and founder of Delivery Associates, the leading public sector advisory group focused exclusively on implementation of large-scale reform, establishment of delivery management models and capacity building in Deliverology®.
Delivery Associates has around 50 experts working on the ground in almost 30 different countries across the world. The team are from over 10 different nationalities, speaking over 20 different languages, and with a collective experience of 450 years in public service reform, over 250 of those in delivery.
Delivery Associates has a website where you can find out more about Deliverology®
For all resources related to Masterclasses and Webinars on NSW Deliverology®, login to delivery.associates/ipaa.
The NSW Public Sector Capability Framework comprises a core capability group dedicated to Deliver Results. Public servants are expected to be capable of delivering results. The Deliverology Programme is not only dedicated to the subject of delivering results, it also equips participants with life-long skills in delivering results.
In NSW, the benefits of the Deliverology® Programme have proved to be:
The Deliverology® Programme uses real examples and live-projects. Projects in NSW have delivered tangible results and have included:
Why should I participate – what's in it for me?
Feedback indicates the Deliverology® Programme is using valuable practical tools that will impact the day-to-day work of the participants. Not only do the individual participants benefit but the organisation and its citizens also benefit:
Glenn King, Former Secretary of the Customer Service Cluster described Deliverology® in the following way:
What Is different about Deliverology is it goes straight to putting the citizen at the heart of service deIivery. Working across government to make a real difference in citizens' lives. Whether you are a patient In an emergency department waiting to get treated, a child in school, a mum or dad flying to make ends meet or the community in general, we wanted to make a real change that lasts.
In 2015 the Premier announced 12 Premier's Priorities and created a delivery unit called the Premier's Implementation Unit to support agencies to apply Deliverology in NSW in order to meet those Priorities.
Now, I am not a medical practitioner, I am not a teacher, and I am certainly not a case worker. They know better than I do. My role and the role of the deIivery unit is to help and support.
There are four key steps to Deliverology - having routines, really using data well, focusing on a small number of key Interventions and spending a lot of time with front line staff to see how things are progressing and learning from what they are doing to make a positive change. Unless you have of all those four things you are not a delivery unit.
Then when you achieve better outcomes for citizens, you reflect, you celebrate, and then you need to get better again.

Ocean Sonics, a leader in smart hydrophone technology, has developed a coastal acoustic drifting buoy. Practical uses include but are not limited to marine mammal monitoring, real-time noise measurement, environmental assessment and improving compliance with the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
Designed with the user in mind, the buoy weighs in at 23KG and measures 1 meter in length and 0.5 meter in width and is easily deployed by a singular user without the use of a crane or any additional equipment. Features include Wi-Fi for real-time set-up, status and spectral display, remote WIFI access (up to 100m), GPS time sync, on/off switch for icListens and buoy and hydrophone synchronization within one microsecond.
This drifting buoy also possesses the ability to be moored and was designed to be acoustically quiet. While drifting, it excels at reducing flow noise, even in fast moving water. For example, the buoy mitigates the flow noise generated near tidal turbines to improve clarity and quality of recordings. The buoy is exceptional at capturing the desired ocean sounds without interruption or interference from the buoy or, if stationary, its mooring. With configuration for up to 6 hydrophones and selectable cable lengths using smart cables, the buoy adapts easily to any project.
Attach any of Ocean Sonics icListen Smart Hydrophone Array or another ethernet controlled system for user friendly, effective coastal acoustic monitoring.
Available for purchase now.

By Heather Tick and Jane Ballantyne. Special to The Seattle Times Opinion June 17, 2018 America's problematic health-care system must share some of the blame for its opioid and pain crises. The twinned problems of improperly treated pain and overused opioids require a transformation in management strategies to facilitate better ownership by patients themselves of their pain and overall well-being, and lead to less reliance on passive handouts from doctors, especially when those handouts consist only of risky drugs.

One of the region's most famous events is the annual Calgary Stampede and it is also known for the immense West Edmonton Mall. Another interesting draw in the province is The Boomtown Trail, which can easily be accessed in large city centers like Edmonton or Calgary. Both of these cities have great RV rental depots that can provide the ideal vehicle to complete the Boomtown drive in. So what, exactly, is Boomtown? Read on to find out!

Off A Cliff: Crazy "Top Gear" Campervan Stunt
Are you wondering what, exactly, is smashed to pieces in the above photo and how it could have happened? Well, this wreck is courtesy of the Top Gear BBC Television show team. Hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond actually drove a converted Citroen campervan off a cliff for an upcoming episode! The daring trio were filming in quaint Hartland in North Devon and many locals gathered to watch the culmination of the stunt.
The locals are no strangers to taping in the area as movies like Sense and Sensibility were filmed in Hartland, as well as past Top Gear episodes. One such explosive stunt was conducted on the shores of Instow in 2008 when Jeremy Clarkson drove a Ford Fiesta being shot at by Royal Marines. This latest stunt, with the campervan careening off the side of the sheer cliff after the handbrake was left off, is the most dramatic yet. Not that it's the first time the hosts have utilized campervans for their show, as can be seen in the race video below.
MotorhomeRoadtrip: Discover Quebec Along Route 138Though it may not have the same ring as route 66, Route 138 in Quebec has plenty to offer for those seeking an adventurous Canadian roadtrip writes Connie Limoncelli:
One of the oldest highways in the nation, Route 138 begins at one end in Elgin, south-west of Montreal, at the New York border. (The road continues into the United States as Route 30). The road snakes along the Saint Lawrence River as it passes by Montreal and through Montérégie, Lanaudière, Mauricie, Capitale-Nationale and Côte-Nord all the way to its eastern end at Natashquan. Aside from the gorgeous scenery, the great part of this road trip is the unique vibes of the different cities and communities you encounter along the way, from Montreal's urbanity to the culture of the First Nations-influenced towns further east. The drive is made all the more comfortable and convenient if made with an RV rental.Courtesy of Mapquest.ca
Live on the Edge: Hang Out at Norway's Troll's Tongue
Every year brave souls migrate to the Skjeggedal Valley in Odda, Norway to take a walk on the edge--namely the wedge of stone known as Trolltunga or the Troll's Tongue. Located 950 meters above sea level the sliver of rock that is the Tongue protrudes horizontally from the side of a mountain with nothing separating it from the pristine waters below. Making the walk across the rock may require some courage, but the gorgeous panorama of mountains and gorgeous water--not to mention the thrill--is definitely worth any risk or associated heart palpitations.
To get to the Troll's Tongue one must travel from Odda to Skjeggedal via Tyssedal. Once you arrive at the mountain you can either take the stairs or a set path up the first 950 meters, then hike the rest of the way on marked trails. In the past a funicular took visitors to the top of the mountain, making reaching the pinnacle quicker and much easier on the legs, but it is no longer operational. Before you make your way up to the Troll's Tongue be sure you've packed your camera with the rest of your gear--the view at the top is one you'll definitely want to document.
If you would prefer to stay in the area there are several cabins nearby owned by the Norwegian Trekking Association where you can stay overnight. The area of the Troll's Tongue is a gateway to the rest of the Hardangervidda mountain plateau and is a great beginning to longer hikes to destinations like the Hårteigen mountain.

An anonymous reader sent me this handy chart comparing the current Greyhound station with the new station on Richards Blvd. The chart sums up many of the points we had discussed when I wrote about the station last month, and adds some other nuggets. Here's a snippet:
Tag: RT
Train fire this morning!
I'll stop using this photo when it stops being completely accurate.
photo credit: Digital Sextant
You know, most days my bike-light rail-bike commute is uneventful. (Most days.) When I have complained about the variable length of trains being an inconvenience that I have been complaining somewhat, though not completely, facetiously. If anything it is a compliment to RT that as a daily LRT commuter this is my chief frustration. (At least, if we don't get started on the fact that I keep buying monthly passes and yet I haven't been asked for proof of fare payment in over a year.)
So today I was actually thrilled to have been slightly inconvenienced by the light rail train fire at the Starfire station. I had to disembark Watt/Manlove and catch a shuttle to my usual stop. RT was able to scramble shuttles to meet us there instantaneously.
RT to add electronic message signs
photo credit: freya.gefn
Regional Transit announced via their "Next Stop News" brochure that they have begun installing electronic billboards at "key light rail stations."
Initially, scheduled train arrival times will be displayed on the signs, as well as service disruption information and other RT news. Real-time train arrival times will be displayed starting in spring 2011 using GPS to track the movements of RT vehicles.
This is a pretty nice addition to the light rail commute. If the trains could only serve more people it would make up for the thrice annual cuts to bus service. Continue reading "RT to add electronic message signs"
Zombie Train this Friday
photo credit: Digital Sextant
Friday evening, join other zombie enthusiasts for the Sacramento Zombie Train. This is a "flash mob," which is apparently a thing, that aims to get a large number of zombies aboard the last RT train to Folsom. I didn't realize there was anything but zombies on LRT after hours!
If you want to join up, put on your best zombie costume and board the train that starts at Sac Valley Station at 6:28p. Other notable stops are posted after the break.
No hoodies for young men
photo credit: Life of Sport
The movement to rid the world of hoodies took another step forward recently according to an article on news10.net regarding a proposed dress code for patrons of Regional Transit.
"It can be intimidating sometimes when people are wearing hoodies," Hammond said. "We need to create a friendlier atmosphere for everyone riding."
The snark opportunities here are endless. Bonus points for working in a reference to the new 100.5 radio station tag line…
Monday morning transit frustrations
My commute involves cycling and light rail, and for the most part this is a really smooth setup for me (especially since I haven't been asked to show my pass since Justin Bieber* was in diapers). So after riding hard to the light rail station on Friday afternoon, looking forward to the weekend, I took my usual spot toward where the rear of the last car would be, knowing that the front cars tend to fill up.
As the train approached, I could tell it was a 3-car and not the usual commuter-friendly 4-car train. As I hoofed it up the station to the end of the third car, only to board and find 2 cyclists already on board the back of the train, it occurred to me that it was Friday at 4:15, which should still count as peak hours. However, it was Friday, and we all know that a certain segment of riders are Furloughed on Fridays (or are they still? I have completely lost interest). Either way I feel sure that the length of RT's trains is affected by Furlough Fridays, leaving the rest of us in the dark.

Virginia Dare songwriter Mary O'Neil and her husband, guitarist Brad Johnson, both work day jobs. They rent a tiny but cute Bernal Heights cottage, which they share with Kit, their 4-year-old son, and a cat. Some nights they strum music together -- Mary on her autoharp and Brad on his electric guitar, supplied with a screwdriver for a whammy bar to get that perfect twang -- but most nights they don't.
"Mary writes songs if nobody's home," says Johnson, sitting at a table among all the right vintage stuff in the couple's sunlit kitchen; on his left sits his wife and to his right, bandmate and bassist Greg Freeman.
"The truth is, at the end of the day, we're just so wiped out," says O'Neil. "It's having a kid. We always lament, 'We should play some music,' and then nothing happens."
No member of the band has ever been in rehab, nor is there a signing to a major label in the offing. Virginia Dare is simply a dark, folk-pop-punk band comprised of O'Neil, Johnson, and Freeman, who in recent months have had publications across the nation and throughout cyberspace calling them everything from "homespun and charming" and "roots music winner" to what Spin describes as "halfway between the moon and West Virginia" (whatever that means) and "the next big thing" -- the last of which is highly unlikely since a) they could really give a fuck what anyone thinks about them, and b) they don't get out much.
"Bands that are together because they want to 'make it' -- those bands suck," says O'Neil. "And those bands don't have any fun. It's really about the people -- people you like and get along with -- which to me is almost more important because this is a human endeavor."
Freeman, a longtime local musician, engineer, and producer, agrees wholeheartedly with O'Neil's philosophy. "We're not driven to succeed at all," he says while O'Neil giggles. "We don't know why that is. It's a hobby. Sort of. Not really."
" 'Hobby' makes it sound like there's decoupage involved," says O'Neil as she bursts into laughter.
"Music is important to all of us," says Freeman, "but it's valuable to do music and not be completely consumed with it or look at it as a possible career. I think that's a problem for a lot of people."
Ah, the anti-thing: It worked for R.E.M. and later for Nirvana, Pavement, and plenty of others, right? But Virginia Dare has no marketing plan, doesn't tour, and doesn't plan to. Nor does the band have a smartassed independent label with a fat wallet in its corner.
"I think that's why the band works so great. We have the same realistic feeling about what we're doing. If we get to go to interesting places, that's just a perk. If people want to pay us money, that's great. And if people want to put out a CD, no one's thinking we're going to buy a house," says O'Neil, laughing. "Especially not in San Francisco."
The underachiever credo did not, however, dissuade a fan, Cory Brown, from chasing the group down for a year in an effort to get them to sign to his modest label, Absolutely Kosher Records -- refuge to the recently defunct P.E.E. He released the follow-up to Virginia Dare's two 10-inch EPs for Nuf Sed -- and their first proper album -- the 13-song Baby Got Away.
"I wish success for all my bands, but that's not what I can offer them. I'm basically a bedroom label," says Brown. "I find their humble band-next-door attitude extremely appealing."
Named after the first baby born to the first European U.S. settlers (but also a brand name of wine and artificial flavorings) -- "We didn't really know any of this," says O'Neil -- Virginia Dare the band was born in San Francisco in 1993, when O'Neil and Johnson hooked up with Paula Frazer on bass and Jonathan Segel, formerly of Camper Van Beethoven, on violin. Freeman was recording them at his former studio, Lowdown. Though Segel was sent off once the trio no longer thought his fiddle fit, when Frazer quit to work on other projects -- specifically Tarnation -- Freeman raised his hand. "I weaseled my way in," he says. "Because nobody has an agenda, and it fits in so nicely with our lives, it seems like it could go on indefinitely."
"Hopefully," says O'Neil. "Until Greg does something horrible."
"Why me?" he asks, somewhat defensively.
"Because you're Satan," she says.
"Oh, that."
In the band's bio, penned by Johnson, there's the tiniest suggestion that Freeman once got the boot from an early '80s Santa Cruz band, the Call, because of his alleged affiliation with Satan.
"The hatchet's long been buried," is all Freeman will say on the subject, but he gained some experience with major label/big studio/big budget recording technique in that time, as he did with his time served in the on-again-off-again, once-signed-to-Geffen instrumental band Pell Mell. He also observed the path of the bands who came through his studio, from locals like the Donner Party, Cat Heads, and Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, to touring acts like Royal Trux and Faust.
Johnson's own professional musical history is also arm-long, from American Music Club's beginnings and stints in early local loungecore groups like Connie Champagne & Her Tiny Bubbles and Timmie Hesla's Converse All-Stars to a gig in a swing band on a cruise ship. "I still have dreams about that -- more like nightmares," he says of his seafaring days. "I finally had to decide why I'm doing this. It's not a very easy way to make a living. That's not why I do it." Johnson works for the comics publisher Last Gasp; he draws comics, as well as the band's distinctive primitive-art-style sleeves.
"When I was with American Music Club, and they started getting really professional, it incrementally got less fun," says Johnson. "I think there are other ways to be a professional band. The examples I want to follow are people who are doing it because they like doing it. Like Barbara Manning does what she wants to do."
Coincidentally, San Francisco-bred singer/songwriter Manning is the only outside musician who made the cut on Baby Got Away, harmonizing with O'Neil, although a handful of friends and locals were invited to the studio over the three years it took to complete all of the sparse and dark folk-tinged songs, O'Neil's autoharp up front. O'Neil wrote half of them before Kit was born. Afterward, the band toured the Netherlands, 5-month-old baby in tow, to support a compilation CD of their first two EPs combined with two new tracks. Afterward, O'Neil enrolled full time as a student so she could get her B.A. in art history. Some more songs came. Then there were the mishaps, like the day the band cut "You Kill Me," the only song on which Johnson contributes something other than his eerie guitar.
"Yeah, Brad was in there singing and Greg, 'Mr. Studio,' spilled his coffee in the board," says O'Neil.
At this point, Freeman and Johnson adjourn to a nearby room for a practice session -- one of maybe two they claim will take place over the next six months -- leaving O'Neil to speak for herself. O'Neil is slight in stature but she's got a voice, as they say, that's as big as Texas -- though she hails from Oceanside, Calif. The songs she writes on her autoharp could slice right through even the hardest of hearts, detached as Courtney Love's, but with a Carter Family twang. The words, however, come from a much warmer and poetic place. Her lines refer to things that are broken and rusted, sharp and hurtful -- but through hardship and loss, there is hope.
On Baby Got Away's title song, she sings that "she pierced her tin heart and threw away the bad parts," while on "Johnny Depp," the film star "saves all his love for me, it's OK." "Dumb as a Doll" has a subject with "pink satin shoes and a bottle of whiskey"; Mary sings, "I watched you hanging from the half moon."
"I didn't set out with an overt theme in mind," she says. "I'm just writing about my own feelings. It sounds so corny, but a lot of the songs are about becoming a mother and how that was fucking with my identity the whole first two years of having him. It took away from enjoying this little creature.
"It's about not being afraid. Those are the people I'm drawn to because I have so much fear. Moe Tucker from the Velvet Underground is an interesting case in point. She's an icon -- and she's got five kids! How did she raise them? The way everyone raises them, the hard way, and she still does her stuff.
"We should write that stuff because it is part of life. It's not the part of life people really want to talk about or that gets attention or noticed, but that's what makes the fucking world go 'round, you know. I don't know, it's not as if it's my cause, it's just who I am."
O'Neil acknowledges her debt to X's Exene Cervenka. "I had the privilege of getting to meet her and play with her, but it was so hard for me. She was such a huge hero that I couldn't relate to her as a human being. She was really nice -- even sent a little present to the baby when he was born." She and Johnson are also simpatico with the Mekons' Jon Langford and Sally Timms; that band put out a record in the U.K. by the couple's first effort together as the Wannabe Texans.
With Kit entering kindergarten in the fall, O'Neil, who is also a painter, may or may not start making more art and music again. "I don't know. Art and music is life, not something outside of life. I feel disconnected from it at times because my life is filled with things that aren't really exciting and interesting -- the things people read and write about. I'm taking care of a kid, that's really what I'm doing.
"I hope this isn't boring," she adds. "But having not finished school, never being able to decide what to do with my life and having a kid, I felt like I wanted to complete it for myself and as an example to my son. I want him to achieve his own dreams and objectives and I feel a huge responsibility to achieve my own."
As the sound of her bandmates making music filters down the hall, O'Neil's body language suggests that she's feeling drawn toward the other room to join them.
"Our motto is we don't have to do anything we don't want to do," she says. And with that, O'Neil leaves to join Johnson and Freeman for band practice -- one of a handful to have occurred this calendar year.

MiQuel was fabulous! Great conversationalist, he did not overwhelm us (our kids 14 & 15) with specific facts/details however was able to provide in-depth information if he felt we were interested or we asked. Speed of tour was perfect! We felt as if we were walking around the city with a friend who was sharing their knowledge, not a guide who had rehearsed a script. We highly recommend Miquel.

As organizations grow, so will the need for standardization and process improvement. Without these elements, the culture of "fighting fires" will continue to be the norm for maintenance departments. Standardized asset management programs such as those outlined by the International Standards Organization (ISO), establish benchmarks for asset quality control leading to fewer down times, longer asset life, and lower energy consumption. There is now a new ISO standard for managing assets that may soon be implemented by your organization.
The latest ISO certification for asset management, ISO 55000:2014, outlines the "why" and "what" regarding why asset management is important and what the requirements are for an effective asset management program. These requirements circle around the asset life cycle. Here is a good paper about the meaning of "asset life cycle" authored by John Woodhouse, founder of the UK Institute of Asset Management.
Here is a run down of the four stages of the asset life cycle:
Stage 1: Asset Procurement
This stage is all about defining a problem an asset is required to solve, researching viable asset solutions, and determining which solution will add the most value over its expected life.
Stage 2: Utilization/Deployment
How an asset us used will directly affect it's value added to an organization. At this point, locating inefficiencies in utilization and correcting them is essential.
Stage 3: Maintenance/Risk Management
Your department is responsible for this stage. Maintaining an asset for optimum utilization is important, but what is more important, and often lacking, is proactive risk management, in other words effective preventive and predictive maintenance.
Stage 4: Disposal/Replacement
Retiring an asset at the end of its life cycle is important to raising the capital needed buy its replacement. Accurately determining the value of assets through depreciation, and selling them at book value, or higher, is the goal.
How an organization manages their assets life cycles will fall on software systems like Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) or Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems which are capable of capturing maintenance and asset histories. These software applications provide the data to know where your assets fall in their life cycles, how efficient they are performing, their cost of operation relative their value added to the operation, and when their opportune times are for replacement.
One thing is clear, organizations want to tie financial and performance metrics to their assets. This means more standardization and quality control across organizations, including notoriously unregulated maintenance departments. CMMS software and EAM software will be key to managing the value of the assets you maintain as your department faces increasing standardization and regulation.

Paul McCartney Scores "Love Mojis" for Skype
Published Feb 10, 2016No longer merely singing "Silly Love Songs," legendary pop and rock force Paul McCartney has revealed he's partnered up with Skype to produce a series of sounds for its new Valentine's Day-geared "Love Mojis" campaign. And, well, what's wrong with that?
Macca confirmed the project through his website, with a blog post explaining that "Love Mojis" is "a new range of animated love themed Moji's for Valentine's Day" that have been scored by McCartney. It's explained that he tracked guitar, xylophone, keyboards, drums and vocals at his Hog Hill Mill studio in Sussex, UK.
"It turned out to be a great laugh at the same time as challenging because you suddenly realize you've got to compress a musical interpretation of an expression into less than five seconds," McCartney said in a statement. "It was like doing a huge crossword puzzle and coming up with all these solutions. And at the same time it was musical so it was great practice for me in the studio."
The animations include dangling, arrow-brandishing cherub; an octopus armed with a Chablis rouge, chocolates and a furry pair of handcuffs; and one especially sensuous, dancing turtle. McCartney and the Skype team are no doubt hoping you're firing these off to your partners instead "Words of Love" ahead of Valentine's Day.
"I hope that people will use them, sending messages of love, etc., [and] sending all their emotions with the Moji's with my music attached to them," McCartney added in a video message, which you can also see below.
Skype's "Love Mojis" are available now.

I apologize if Ive posted this pic before, I dont THINK I have.... I found this drawing in my portfolio, and it brought back memories of a Barmitzbah gig I did in Conn. for the lovely lady you see pictured here.
This woman was actually pretty attractive. and I dont normally exaggerate the host/hostess of the event, but I felt that she had the personality and the self esteem to 'take it" and it turns out she was delighted!
Some people, especially women I find cant "BEAR" to not be seen "looking beautiful" for ONE second, even if it's in a caricature. "dont draw my nose big" "leave out my double chin" the list goes on and on... then you get those people like this woman here who KNOWS who they are, what they REALLY look like and what a caricature is supposed to be about..... FUN!!! this is the FUN part!!!!
If I could only have more women who felt this way!
of course, maybe she hated it and threw it in the trash when I left.

Really tried to push the envelope on this likeness. I think I ended up ripping the envelope and losing the likeness but it was fun trying.

Clean Up Mac – Boost Your Whole Computer
Does your Mac take permanently too? If so, after that you are most likely asking yourself just how you can speed it up and boost its total efficiency. Well, it's not truly that difficult. Basically, the best thing you could do to boost your computer systems efficiency is to use a cleanup Mac Application. Why? Simply since hard drive clutter is among the most usual reasons that a Mac slows down and also its performance slows down.
Get Rid Of Unwanted Applications At Start-up:
If this is without a doubt the instance, it is evident that you will certainly end up being greater than simply a little upset. After all, no one intends to wait for life before they can access their documents, right? Well, here something you may not understand about your Mac: The even more applications you have that automatically run upon startup, the longer it will certainly consider your Mac too. This is why minimizing the number of auto start-up items is a necessary step when you clean up Mac OS. The best advice would certainly be for you to maintain just the most vital programs in your automobile start-up checklist.
The Junky File Types That Should Be Removed:
Clean up Mac actions also include removing your computers cache, deleting duplicate files, removing unused applications and also language support packs, as well as deleting unwanted log documents as well as surplus binaries. How to clean a mac? All these points are thought about as computer system scrap, as they all contribute to the slowing down of your Mac and also the deceleration of its efficiency. Eliminating them from your system is possibly the very best way to bring your Mac back in leading problem. After you clean Mac OS, you could additionally improve its performance and boost its speed by defragmenting your documents. This action helps you reclaim some valuable room in your hard disk that is otherwise inhabited by unnecessary clutter. Well, your Macs hard drive usually comes to be fragmented gradually, meaning items of some data could not be saved in the very best places, thus influencing the Macs performance. A disk defragmenter transfers all documents to the correct locations for optimal Mac performance.
Since you recognize the best ways to tidy up Mac and also improve its efficiency, allow me provide you some great news:
There is an application that can help you do all the above pointers at the very same time. This means you don't have to utilize numerous various applications and does each job independently. And I am discussing the Mac Keeper, appropriately called as the 911 for your Mac. The Mac keeper is an App that assists you tidy up Mac by first scanning for excess binaries, log documents, cache files, language support loads, and duplicate data. You might then remove all these undesirable files by merely clicking a solitary switch

Here is a picture of our new, larger home:
|Home Sweet Home
After suffering through more moves than we care to count, our most recent move will forever hold a place in our hearts as the easiest move to-date.
Moving day began with us lazing about while filling up on Nespresso. Then, we got down to business.
We began by moving over what we could to our new slip (bumpers, lines, and our steps):
|Heavy Lifting
|Not Quite as Heavy Lifting
|Welcome to the Neighborhood
And so we did.
Then, 45 minutes later, we cast away our dock lines and moved. Maybe 2 minutes later, we were docked at our new slip.
Logistically speaking, this move was simple, but it is going to take time for us to get used to our new orientation.

Any ideas for our programme?
I'm in the middle of compiling next year's programme so if you have any suggestions for talks, demos or subjects, I'd be pleased to have them by email or hand next Friday. Can't promise to include everything but I will gratefully accept any suggestions.
Life Session, 2 models 27th October
This week (27th Oct) is a Life Session, 2 models – quick sketches and longer poses. We will give the models a short break around 3 o'clock, but why not get your tea/coffee to take away and bring it back into the hall, rather than sitting in the café. That way we can make maximum use of the models (and our model fees).
Members are invited to demo
I am pleased that some members of Wannock Club came to our Bill Brinkley Lecture and they have invited any of our members to attend a demonstration of mixed media by Chris Forsey on Friday Oct 27th between 7-9pm to Wannock Village Hall. £4 for visitors.

More than a decade ago Derek Sayer, a professor of history at Lancaster University, published an immensely popular book entitle The Coasts of Bohemia, which covers Czech history and culture from the mythical past all the way until early twentieth century. Its readers have been eagerly awaiting a continuation of the accessible and highly detailed work that opened up Czech history to a wider audience. This year, professor Sayer published a new work - 'Prague, Capital of the Twentieth Century: A Surrealist History', which focuses in on the Czech capital
The 20th century saw scores of Czechs and Slovaks leaving their country to escape political oppression. After the communist takeover of 1948, some 40,000 people left and settled in Western countries such as the United States, where many of them joined various exile groups, trying to hasten the fall of the totalitarian regime and to warn free nations of the dangers of communism. In this edition of Czech History, I discuss some of the achievements and failures of the Czechoslovak émigré community in the US with researcher Martin Nekola.
Today would have been the eightieth birthday of Olga Havlová, first wife of the late former president Václav Havel. Olga died in 1996 at the age of 62, after devoting much of life to helping others and sacrificing large parts of it for her husband's unpredictable career, first as an anti-communist dissident and later as a political leader. Still fondly remembered by many, Olga's life is being commemorated with a new book and documentary.
Ever since Czech TV began broadcasting its own version of BBC's show Who Do You Think You Are, many people have developed an interest in finding more about their own history, about who their ancestors were, where lived, and what they did. In this edition of Panorama, we discuss the boom in genealogy with researcher Blanka Lednická who a few years ago left her IT job and set up her own genealogy business.
A ceremony was held on Wednesday at Prague's Ďáblice Cemetery to remember those killed or incarcerated by Czechoslovakia's communist regime. Organised by the Confederation of Former Political Prisoners, it was attended by a number of political and religious leaders, who warned that many Czechs were succumbing to a dangerous form of political amnesia.
The run-down Praha-Bubny train station is now a fairly insignificant stop on commuter train routes going to and from destinations west of Prague. But in the early 1940's, this was the setting for one of the darkest and cruelest chapters in Czech history. Now there are plans to create a memorial to victims of the Holocaust right in this station.
British journalist Charles Laurence first came to Prague as a child in the 1950s. His father, a diplomat, served at the UK embassy here, and brought his family with him. In the spy-ridden communist country at the height of the Cold War, he was soon targeted by the secret police. Fifty years later, Charles Laurence revisited Prague in search of what really happened. In his book The Social Agent: A True Intrigue of Sex, Lies, and Heartbreak Behind the Iron Curtain, he exposes Czech writer, and family friend Jiří Mucha as a man who spied on his father,
Last week Prague hosted an international conference that looked at the role played during World War Two by the London-based governments in exile of occupied countries. These included not just Czechoslovakia, but also many other European countries, including the Netherlands, Poland, Yugoslavia and France. These exile politicians played a complex, sometimes tortuous role in shaping not just the course of the war, but also the political order that followed. David Vaughan reports.

PC-lint/FlexeLint Output | Reference Manual Explanation | Home
A football analyst wanted to print out the names of football teams, blank-separated, four to a line. What could go wrong with such a simple program?
bug650.cpp lint Output
--- Module: bug650.cpp (C++) _ if( i % 4 == 4 ) printf( "\n" ); bug650.cpp(18) : Warning 650: Constant '4' out of range for operator '==' --- Global Wrap-up Info 843: Variable 'teams' (line 3, file bug650.cpp) could be declared as const
Reference Manual Explanation
650 Constant out of range for operator String -- In a comparison operator or equality test (or implied equality test as for a case statement), a constant operand is not in the range specified by the other operand. For example, if 300 is compared against a char variable, this warning will be issued. Moreover, if char is signed (and 8 bits) you will get this message if you compare against an integer greater than 127. The problem can be fixed with a cast. For example: if( ch == 0xFF ) ... if( (unsigned char) ch == 0xFF ) ... If char is signed (+fcu has not been set) the first receives a warning and can never succeed. The second suppresses the warning and corrects the bug. PC-lint/FlexeLint will take into account the limited precision of some operands such as bit-fields and enumerated types. Also, PC-lint/FlexeLint will take advantage of some computations that limit the precision of an operand. For example, if( (n & 0xFF) >> 4 == 16 ) ... will receive this warning because the left-hand side is limited to 4 bits of precision.

Tapeworms in Dogs & Cats
Or How a Lowly Trematode Teamed up With the International Drug Cartel - Ron Hines DVM PhD 2/20/03 firstname.lastname@example.com
Tapeworms are very common in dogs and cats. All tapeworms require two different types of animals, one (the intermediate host) to be carried around by, to a new animal and a second type of animal (the final host) where the tapeworm can mature in the intestine and lay its eggs.
Tapeworms do not have a mouth. They feed through their skin (integument). Tapeworms are all segmented like a string of pearls. Some tapeworms are many feet long, other types, only a few segments long.
Every tapeworm has an oval head (scolex) to which are attached a group of hooks similar to fish hooks. These hooks bind the tapeworm to the lining of the small intestine.
Only the last pearls break off and leave the body with or after a bowl movement. These pearls (proglotids) are really an egg case.
They are filled with thousands of tapeworm eggs. When the egg case breaks open, these eggs are scattered about in hopes that an intermediate host will eat one by accident. In the intermediate host, the tapeworm egg hatches, forms a cyst and waits.
Eventually, the second animal eats some of these intermediate host animals in the parasites life cycle and a new tapeworm matures in the final hosts intestine (your dog or cat). Then the cycle can begin again and again.
Over 98% of the pets I see are infested with Dipylidium caninum, the pigmy tapeworm. When this worm passes eggs they appear as white or off-white grains of rice.
Depending on the size of the tapeworm, these egg segments (proglotids) can be as small as sesame seeds or as large as a housefly maggot. They tend to be seen on the stool or around the pets rear and move very slowly until they dry. When these segments dry on the pets coat they explode hundreds of eggs.
Then fleas that are present on the pet ingest (eat) these eggs. In the flea, the new tapeworm (cysticercoid) develops. Then, when the pet eats a flea while grooming a new tapeworm develops in the pets intestine.
A few of these tapeworms are not dangerous to an animals health but they are very disgusting to observe. To successfully eliminate them, every dog and cat in the household must be treated with praziquantel and, at the same time, all fleas must be eliminated.
If, for a single instant, there are no fleas and no adult tapeworms, the problem is solved. If you dont eliminate all mature fleas, within a month or so the tapeworms return. Some pets in a contaminated household may remain free of tapeworms.
These are pets with smushed faces such as Persian cats or pug-like dogs, which cannot catch fleas. Occasionally, after a bout of diarrhea, long strings of segments are passed intact.
I occasionally see other tapeworms in pets. Feeding undercooked meat passes these worms or I see them in cats that hunt out of doors. These tapeworms pass segments that are more rectangular in shape. Praziquantel kills them all.
It breaks down the protective coating over the worm and the body just absorbs the parasite. This is why you do not see dead tapeworms in the pets stool after it has been wormed.
Praziquantel is marketed by the multinational drug firm, the Bayer Corporation, under the name, Droncit. It is an exceptionally safe medicine. The patent on Droncit was acquired a number of years ago by Bayer. At that time, a second very effective medicine, Niclosamide, was marked by a competing firm under the trade name Yomisan.
At that time both medicines were quite reasonably priced. However, a short time later, Bayer purchased the patent for Yomisan as well and quickly took it off the market. They then proceeded to raise the price of Droncit from month to month. The last time I calculated its cost in ounces of active ingredient it had exceeded the cost of an ounce of gold. That is why your veterinarian charges so much for a tablet or injection of the product.

What does a success story mean to you? At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County we believe a success story is when life changing work takes place and gives Martin County youth the hope and opportunity to grow. We'd like to share some of these success stories with you so you can see the influence that your support has on our local community.
Member Name: Kyrell
Club: Hobe Sound
Age Group: Cadets (ages 6-9)
Kyrell started off as a nearly silent child in the one-on-one and group mentoring sessions he attended at Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County in Hobe Sound. He'd sometimes offer one-word answers to questions, but he was more likely to shrug his shoulders, look down and say nothing.
When the rest of the group was learning to recite motivational quotes by heart, Kyrell lagged behind. The young boy in the Cadets age group (6-9) was fighting low self-esteem and no self-confidence. But he didn't give up.
Today, Kyrell recites motivational quotes, gives positive feedback to others during group meetings and even raises his hand to go first when it's time for individual speeches. He's also asked to be a peer mentor to the next new member of the group.
Kyrell earned the Most Improved award this spring. He says Boys & Girls Clubs is helping him "do better in life."
The Boys & Girls Club of Martin County is celebrating its 26th year of "building great futures" in Martin County, enabling youth and teens to reach their full potential by staying on track to graduate, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and practicing healthy lifestyles. All donations are vital investments in the lives and the futures of our children.
