Sometime after upgrading to iTunes 8.0.1 and OS X 10.5.5 (not sure when it started TBH), everytime I connected up my iPhone iTunes error'd with:
"iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone "Macca's iPhone" because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing? (y/n)"
Weird, I thought. I haven't disabled anything. I wondered if this was a problem with Office 2008 as last time I sync'd successfully all of my Exchange based calendar items were triplicated.. but that's another story.
Anyway. Clicking on Yes (to enable syncing) brought up another error:
"Syncing cannot be enabled on this computer"
So, lo and behold i've had out of date calendars and contacts for weeks. Music, photos and video sync'ing was absolutely fine though.
When it happened again this morning, I tried to open iSync this morning and yet another error:
SyncServices: Can't connect to the sync server:
NSInvalidRecievePortException: connection went invalid while waiting for a reply ((null))
Looks like something funny going on with the local sync configuration.
Fortunately, the fix was easy. I renamed the Local sync folder to Local_bak. iSync then created a new one automatically. I can now sync without any problems at all.
- cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/SyncServices/
- mv Local Local_bak
- Start iSync.

Sometimes…several consecutive attempts to get away for refreshment can be thwarted. My attitude is bruised, and life looks dark. With a few defeats, the value of the reward fades, and the energy to try again evades me.
Then, according to His good time, an opportunity arises. I can again soak in the glory of what He has made.
So, by force of will, I go. And when I return, hope surges through me, steady and strong like a river.

Book du Jour:THE GIRL WHO CIRCUMNAVIGATED FAIRYLAND IN A SHIP OF HER OWN MAKING by Catherynne M. Valente (Fiewel and Friends)
Save Fairyland, little twelve-year-old-girl! (No pressure.) With lots of wordplay, a quest to vanquish in the name of good and a whimsical cast, perhaps this is a contemporary nod to Norton Juster's THE PHANTOM TOOLBOOTH featuring a female protagonist (and how timely, with a 50th Anniversary Edition and an Annotated Edition out and about?)...excepting, September has an enthusiastic spirit all her own, falling in line with the best of the Practical Princesses and other more liberated girls who have wandered--or wended--their way into fairy tales. Smart, lovely, sensory, descriptive language, too, with plenty of vocabulary that means what it says and says what they mean (bedraggled shoes, dense bread), always exciting and never dumb (just like good old William Steig used to do...how about BRAVE IRENE? ). Isn't it perfect when an author has a high regard for, um....words? And girls? Helps a lot. (11 and up)

Egetmann Shrovetide PageantDUE TO THE CURRENT EXCEPTIONAL SITUATION CONCERNING CORONAVIRUS, NO EVENTS WILL BE HELD AT THE PRESENT TIME!
Region: Southern South Tyrol
The Egetmann Shrovetide Pageant is one of the oldest carnival customs of South Tyrol and at the same time one of the most spectacular ones.
The Egetmann Shrovetide Pageant has a very long tradition and history and it is one of the most striking carnival parades anywhere in the Alps. More than 30 characters take part in the parade, and every one of them has a singular task. Goal is it to chase away the winter and to welcome the spring.
Description of the parade
The parade is opened by the trumpeter, followed by farmers on horseback and their labourers and by farmers brandishing long whips ("Ausschnöller"). They are followed by the stewards whose job is to keep the route of the pageant free of obstruction.
Behind them, there comes all the rest of the farmers with their ancient implements for working the land, accompanying a cart containing seed-corn (symbolically depicted by wood-shavings, hay and dust).
In turn, they are followed by the central character, the Egetmann Hansl, a dummy in a black jacket, top hat and white gloves travelling in an open carriage, accompanied by his servant. In front, next to the driver there sits the bride, transforming the parade into a marriage procession. Subsequently of them, the "Wild man" the "Green and the white Bear", "Burglweibele" and "Burgltreiber" take part of the parade.
This parade is a custom you absolutely have to see! Another parade is the Zusslparade in Vinschgau. Find out, what will happen on carnival in South Tyrol.

Carry on Moving
Carry On Moving
Have you ever noticed that the longer you put off a task you should do?
The more difficult it is to get started?
Ironically, we add to our frustration and unhappiness we could so clearly avoid. The newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane once wrote, "Don't exaggerate your own importance, your own size, or your own miseries. You are an ant in a human anthill. Be a working ant, not a ridiculous insect pitying yourself!" Strong language maybe, and yet, it makes sense for us. A person carrying a heavy weight is all right as long as he keeps going The minute he stops, puts the weight down, and sits down to rest, the weight seems to become heavier, the distance still to be travelled greater, and the work just that much more unpleasant.
Begin at the beginning
It can seem at times that things have piled up so high there's just no way of digging out, and yet there is a way. Pick the task that is most crucial and simply begin, "Swallow that frog" tackle the most urgent early in your day and the rest will appear easier and things will proceed more smoothly with less stress and anguish.
Just by plunging in you will feel better and you will find that the water is not nearly as cold as you thought it would be. Keep at it, and before long the pile of things that seemed so overwhelming will be behind you, completed. This may also be the time for you to evaluate what keeps you so busy, is it merely a habit of procrastinating, or can you delegate, maybe unsubscribe from some e-mail senders whose information or input you no longer need and also to check if some of your social media responses are goal achieving or merely an activity that needs to be curtailed.
Take one step, then another
It's not always the work that overwhelms us, it's thinking about how difficult it is going to be. Putting it off and hoping that somehow, through some miracle, it will disappear. The Chinese have a saying that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. And that step accomplishes two things. First, it shortens the distance we still have to travel. Secondly, and just as important, it instils hope and strengthens our faith. If a person will only keep putting one foot in front of the other, he will eventually reach his destination. In life you have to start somewhere, go somewhere and end somewhere. Jim Rohn put it well when he said "You have to be before you can do, you have to do before you can have".
After action?
Think back in your past, how content you felt after completing a difficult task or faced up to a responsibility you were worried about and the joy of having done a good job, that sense of achievement. And maybe you smile to yourself when you remember how worried or concerned you were at the beginning of the task. Work never killed anyone, It's worry that does the damage, and the worry would disappear if we would just settle down and do the work.
An American president said "All growth depends on activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work. Work is not a curse, it is a prerogative of intelligence, the only means to manhood and the measure of civilization."
So then, in summary. It never hurts to do a little something extra just for the lavishing's sake. Elbert Hubbard put it this way, "People who never do any more they're paid to do are never paid for any more than they do." Payment comes in many forms, and always in exact proportion to what we do.
Heaven never helps the one who will not act Sophocles
Enjoy your work with an attitude of gratitude for being employed

Screw slotting saw arbor
Once, in a hurry, I bought a set of three slitting saws with arbor. Then I found that replacement blades for it are listed as screw-slotting saws. They have a 5/8" bore and the arbor that came with the set is far from good, 0.1mm undersized, making the blades to rotate off-centered. As the blades are still fine, made a arbor for this blade set. I don't plan to have many tooling in inch sizes, but I already have these blades.
It is very straightforward to make slitting saw arbors on the lathe, but care is needed checking dimensions for the blades to have a good fit, otherwise they will rotate off-centered. When turning the arbor, on finishing passes for blade fit, a small groove was made into the shoulder for the blade to fit correctly. Made the arbor with a 12mm straight shank, to use it on ER collets. The shank is 35mm long.
The large washer was counterbored for the M6 screw. A 6mm tommy bar fits a hole on the arbor for tightening the screw and for when changing blades.
Here is the new arbor and the one that came with the blades set.

IPR Import Restrictions on Toner Cartridges and Components Under Consideration
In patent infringement investigation 337-TA-918 of certain toner cartridges and components, the International Trade Commission has upheld the presiding administrative law judge's finding of violations of Section 337 by a number of respondents. The ITC is now accepting through July 13 written submissions on the following issues.
- the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered (e.g., an order that could result in the exclusion of the subject articles from entry into the United States and/or one or more cease and desist orders that could result in the respondents being required to cease and desist from engaging in unfair acts in the importation and sale of such articles)
- the effects of any such remedy on the public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, U.S. production of articles that are like or directly competitive with those that are subject to investigation, and U.S. consumers
- the amount of the bond under which infringing articles could continue to enter the U.S. during the 60-day period the president has to review any ITC-ordered remedy

Generation Y and the Millennials can definitely remember Gwen Stefani as either the muse of the alternative rock band No Doubt or that fancy, talented blonde who popularized the song Sweet Escape with Akon. Throughout the years, one thing that never waned is Gwen Stefani's ability to lure in more and more fans whenever she steps into the limelight and opens her mouth to sing.
Going on and off the radar made Stefani a relatable artist, surging from the broken and happy pieces of her personal life and juggling her musical journey together. Despite the seemingly long absence for putting up a studio album, the warm reception of her current offering leaves us wondering why we love Gwen Stefani so much. The answer is comprised of just a few words: she is an awesome and passionate musician.
Ten years after The Sweet Escape album which left us bouncing with the tracks comprising it, Gwen Stefani performed a major overhaul upon the release of her third studio album entitled 'This is What the Truth Feels Like.' Managed by the firm Interscope Records, this offering will channel much of Stefani's experiences over her recently broken marriage and the start of a new romantic relationship.
Many album experts swear by the raw and real emotions Stefani herself put into the tracks of this album, making it more sellable to the singer's plethora of fans that never left her side despite the lows in her career. Originally, This is What the Truth Feels Like was supposed to be released in 2012, but Stefani scrapped the idea altogether when she reached a roadblock, making it difficult to release her creative juices and craft tracks to be included in the album.
The vibe of the album leaned on the sorrow, joy and sarcasm of a recent break-up, tackling all possible human emotions that can be felt in between the stages. Themes of betrayal, disappointment and pure hurt coincide with the hope of loving again and the tedious process of moving on.
Tracks such as Baby Don't Lie and Spark the Fire have been released prior to the album itself. However, the weak commercial reception was a deciding factor to postpone the album's release until March 18, 2016.
Genres included in the album include dancehall reggae, pop and R&B, with rawness and stills from Gwen Stefani's personal losses and triumphs. The album's lead single first aired in October 2015, and Used to Love You is one of those songs you'd play when you're about to step out of despair, but get pulled back by your heartbreak's joyous past.
Some of the other tracks meant to make you adore Gwen Stefani's musical talent even more include Misery, You're My Favorite, Where Would I Be, Make Me Like You, Truth, Send Me a Picture, Rare and Me Without You. For its reception, This is What the Truth Feels Like debuted at number one in the illustrious US Billboard 200, with 84,000 units sold as of March this year.
The United Kingdom received the album with a lukewarm welcome at first, but eventually came to realize how relatable the album is and sales have been unstoppable since then. Professional ratings from different firms also affirmed how valuable this album is for Stefani's solo career, with Rolling Stone giving it a 3 out of 5, Slant Magazine with a 3.5 out of 5 and Entertainment Weekly grading it with an A-.
