This past weekend I had the pleasure of performing not once, but three times with my friend Jeff Seager, to present our holiday program, Here We Come A-Caroling! It was great fun for us and I think for our audiences as well, as we shared songs, delved into the history of each one we presented, and sang along with our listeners to carols both familiar and not so well-known.
then journeyed downriver a few miles to Sistersville where we enjoyed lunch at one of my favorite places, the Wells Inn.
You know you're in a small town when a shop owner runs out to hug you in the the middle of the street! Terry Wiley, the owner of the Sistersville Candy Company, Farmer's Harvest and the Gaslight Theater and Gold Derrick Gallery, saw us passing by and came out to say hello in the drizzle.We had planned to stop in and say hello after lunch but as it turned out he was heading out, so I was glad to have a hug and a quick hello at least. As we left Terry, Charles, the owner of the Wells Inn, drove by and called out a hello. Small towns--I love them.
We left Sistersville and guess what? It was still raining, and raining hard. We need the rain as it has been an extremely dry autumn, but it made for slow driving along snaky Route 2.
We arrived in Ripley in time for dinner at the best Mexican restaurant in town (in my opinion, anyway) Cozumel, and then rushed over to the library for our last performance only to find a lavish spread of refreshments!
Once again, the turnout was small but we enjoyed the intimacy and informality created by a small gathering and explored perhaps even more deeply into the lore of the songs.
Jeff and I had fun planning this program. We kept some of our favorites, and the audiences' favorites but wanted to add some new songs to keep the program fresh. Our favorite addition this year was 'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime, also known as The Huron Carol (listen to the song in the original language). I do not recall ever having heard this particular song before. Written by the Jesuit Jean De Brebeuf in 1643, it is believed to be the first carol composed in North America (and probably on this side of the world). He was a missionary to Canada, working among the Hurons, and endured great hardship during his time with them. He was captured twice by tribes of the Iroquois confederacy and was tortured and burned at the stake following his second capture. Father De Brebeuf wrote his carol in the Huron language while recovering from a broken clavicle.
Father De Brebeuf was beloved of the Huron people, however, and they continued to sing his carol. It was translated into English in 1926, but the translation, it must be said, is a romanticized version of the original, containing language and imagery reflective of Longfellow's Hiawatha and the ideal of the "noble savage." Still, the melody is haunting and the words are quite beautiful. A more literal translation can be found here, which has little in common with the carol we sing today. Jeff played the song on his guitar and sang it so perfectly, it left me with chill bumps.
I will post more about some of the other songs included in our program in future posts, to share with you some of the surprising things we learned as we explored the songs we shared in this year's program. There are hundreds of carols and already I am making a list of some I'd like to consider next year. I expect I'll find some new favorites in the process.
Do you have a favorite song for this time of year?

I would have enjoyed your program, I'll bet. And I do have several songs that I especially love at this time of year. Sweet Little Jesus Boy is a favorite of mine.

Congressman John Fleming M.D. released the following statement today after voting against the "deal" to raise the debt ceiling by up to $2.4 trillion -- the largest debt ceiling increase in American history. This "deal" left too many unanswered questions and left too much off the table when it comes to bringing our country back to fiscal sanity.
"I applaud Speaker Boehner's perseverance and am glad we are on a path to averting a national default. The Speaker went toe-to-toe with the Obama Administration and the Democract-controlled Senate, and ultimately ensured job-killing tax hikes were not part of the final deal which matches every dollar of debt limit increase by more than a dollar of real spending cuts. Ultimately though, I can not in good conscience support the largest debt ceiling increase in our nation's history, which will only enable our insatiable thirst for deficit spending to continue, albeit at a slower pace. For the future of our country, our kids and grandkids, there comes a point where we have to say 'enough is enough.' As a nation drowning in over $14 trillion in debt -- and growing -- I think most Americans agree that we reached that point long ago," said Congressman Fleming.
Congressman Fleming added, "Besides severely undermining our national defense with unprecedented cuts at a time of growing global insecurity, this plan fails to confront the grave fiscal challenges that threaten the survival of Medicare and Social Security, instead kicking the can of entitlement reform down the road -- yet again. Most importantly though, without a guaranteed path for the enactment of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, this plan falls short in ensuring the proposed reductions will actually take effect. The halls of Congress are littered with dozens of well intentioned plans that promised grand reforms only to be revoked or ignored by politicians unwilling to follow though with hard choices."
Dr. John Fleming is Chairman of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans and Insular Affairs and is a member of the House Armed Services Committee. He is a physician and small business owner and represents the 4th Congressional District of Louisiana.

Sweet Thursday Paperback
by John Steinbeck
Part of the Penguin Modern Classics series
In Monterey, on the California Coast, Sweet Thursday is what they call the day after Lousy Wednesday - one of those days that's just bad from the start.
But Sweet Thursday is sunny and clear, a day when anything can happen.
Returning to the scene of Cannery Row, Steinbeck brilliantly creates its bawdy, high-spirited world of bums, drunks and hookers, telling the story of what happened to everyone after the war.
There are colourful characters old and new, all united by love, laughter and tears: Fauna, the latest madam at the Bear Flag brothel, Doc, still there for everyone else but feeling strangely sad himself, and Suzy, the new hustler in town who might just be the girl to save him.

Review by jennyo
This book is a sequel to Steinbeck's delightful Cannery Row. I thoroughly enjoyed Cannery Row, but think I loved this one even more. It's full of the same good humor and the same sweet but sometimes misguided characters. You know how sometimes you read a book and it just gives you warm fuzzies? Well, that's what this one did for me. (I'm guessing Steinbeck is rolling over in his grave at that description.)I don't know why it took me so long to realize how much I like Steinbeck's writing. Today, I bought a copy of The Pearl and The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights, and I'll probably get a copy of Tortilla Flat the next time I go to the bookstore.

A couple of weeks ago, Comcast put on an Xfinity event for Boston influencers to learn about their X1 platform and Xfinity Home. I left Jules with Robbie for the first time and it felt so good to be out meeting adults. The Comcast staff were so nice. They ushered me from my car. They gave me a folder. They talked nice to me.
Actually going into a Comcast store is an enlightening experience in itself. Comcast and Xfinity staff are there to explain all the information that they can't jam into a 30 second advertisement. There's a lot to learn and the set up and layout of the store makes it really easy to see how everything works and how all of the Xfinity products fit together.
There are so many things that Xfinity does that I had no idea about two weeks ago but I want to tell you about the stuff that I got most excited about.
X1 makes regular TV look lame. If you already have Xfinity TV, it's totally free to upgrade.
Kids Zone + Common Sense Media
We only want the boys watching shows that have a positive message. Using the X1 parental controls, we can sort through kids programming to find content that is appropriate for our boys. Integrated Common Sense Media ratings and reviews assess programs based on a range of different themes like educational value, positive role models, positive messages, violence and scariness, language, consumerism, sexy stuff etc. We can also set a PIN so the boys don't wander out of Kids Zone or order pay per view programs.
The Xfinity Remote with Voice Control
Holy cow. This thing you guys! You can tell it what to do with your voice! You can use it to search networks, shows, movies and actor names, change the channel and get movie recommendations. You can even tell it a movie quote and it will find the movie it came from! As the movie quote king, Robbie is going to have a field day with this thing and you can be sure I'll be feeding it a Grosse Pointe Blank line every now and then just for fun. Hey, hey, bing bing bing bing bang! POPCORN!
Specially Tailored-for-TV Apps
You can play your Pandora playlist, check the weather or keep tabs on your family's favorite teams with the X1 Sports app.
Customers can stream their recordings and live television directly to their devices. This is great for setting up a second screen for your kids. Road-trip? Download all the episodes from your favorite series and let the binge-watching begin!
**The apps are detailed below.
Xfinity Home is Comcast's home security, control and energy management platform. The system allows you to stay connected to your home remotely through an interactive web portal and your mobile device.
I'm a security freak. I never used to be. I left the house completely unlocked before I had three kids. The previous owners of our house had a lot of expensive art so their security system was pretty amazing but it was soooo expensive to keep it monitored. Xfinity's security system does more than our original system did and is so much cheaper to have monitored.
The Xfinity Home security system is state of the art. It gives you the ability to watch live streams from wireless cameras around your house even if you are away. It will even send you an alert if a door in your house is opened while you're not home. The equipment is beautiful, easy to use and the monitoring (if you choose to use it) is so much more affordable than anywhere else I've seen.
The home platform isn't just for security though. You can manage your energy consumption by controlling lights and the thermostat remotely. My Comcast gift bag had a NEST Learning Thermostat in it, which works with Xfinity Home. I replaced our old thermostat myself while Robbie was in California. I'm so technical now.
Isn't it pretty?
Xfinity TV
With the Xfinity TV app we can:
- Stream our X1 DVR recordings at home or on the go
- Download X1 DVR recordings directly to our mobile devices and take them on-the-go to watch anytime (perfect for my upcoming trip to Oz for when I don't have access to Wi-Fi on the plane or in the car etc)
- View the guide and schedule X1 DVR recordings
- Watch thousands of Xfinity on-demand TV series and popular movies at home or on the go
- Choose from up to 100 networks from E! to CNN to Lifetime to stream on the go
- Stream virtually the entire channel lineup for iOS or Android devices inside the house
Xfinity Home
The Xfinity Home app allows us to monitor and control our home security remotely. We can watch the video feeds from any camera in the house at any time from anywhere.
Xfinity My Account
My Account helps us manage our Xfinity services. We can schedule a callback from a Comcast representative, set up a service appointment, troubleshoot devices, change our Comcast account password and adjust our Wi-Fi settings with one tap.
Xfinity Share
The Xfinity Share app makes it easy to share our favorite moments with friends and family, especially if they have X1. We can live stream directly from our smart phone to an X1 TV or another Share app user, or send photos and videos to the cloud to store our memories.
Hey look Grandma and Grandpa! It's Finn and Bennett eating watermelon!
Xfinity Connect
Provides access to features including Comcast.net email; call logs and call forwarding; Universal Address Book; also includes complimentary Voice2go access, which means we can take Xfinity Voice with us virtually anywhere, including overseas.
Go to the Xfinity website to find out more about all of the products I've mentioned in this post and a ton more. And if you can get into an Xfinity store it's well worth it.

Don't Tell Me You're Tired
by Rabbi Aron Moss
I would love to bring the family to the Chanukah celebration tonight, but I am just too exhausted. This time of year is crazy at work and I think I will probably get home and collapse into a deep sleep on the couch. I know that's not much of a Chanukah but it's not as if I missed Rosh Hashana is it?
In some ways, Chanukah is even deeper than Rosh Hashana. Sleeping through it is not an option.
There are two ways to wake up a sleeping person. You can make a loud noise right next to them. Or you can turn on the lights and open the curtains. While the first method is more effective, the second is far kinder.
The same applies to a spiritual slumber. When we have become numb in our soul and running low on inspiration, we need to be woken up. And there are two ways to arouse a slumbering soul. One is the Rosh Hashana method, the other is the Chanukah approach.
On Rosh Hashana we blow the shofar, a loud wake up call that stirs us from even the deepest sleep. Its shrill blast calls us to be more spiritually alert and shakes us out of our complacency.
Chanukah is a time of great spiritual awakening too. But the Chanukah candles present a softer approach. Their flames touch us in a gentle and subtle way. The holy glow of the candles doesn't let us sleep through life, they remind us that we ourselves must be sources of light, and we need to keep on adding to that light on a daily basis.
Sometimes we need to be shaken out of our sleep by a loud noise. But it's much more pleasant to wake up to a room flooded with light.
G-d is sending a gentle message to you. Don't sleep through life. There are too many special moments that you don't want to miss. See you tonight.
R Leibele Eiger of Lublin

text: My paypal account will be limited soon. I have £400 remaining receiving limit. All other limits, I've lifted with no problem. I want to try and lift the limit before I actually get limited, and I filled out some "provide more information" form which required some stuff like my date of birth and address. After submitting that, I get a message saying "Unfortunately, we can't confirm your information. Send us your documents instead." Well, the only document I could send to them is a scanned copy of my passport, but here's the problem. I am not 18. I lied and put my date of birth as 11/02/1994 when signing up to paypal. So I have no clue what to do, if I send them a scanned copy of my passport, wont they realise I'm not 18? I can't send them a drivers license, I don't have one.

HTC 10 Features
Since the time immemorial, HTC has been known to make beautiful phones. Even before the HTC M7, which is looked upon as the trendsetter as far as the modern day smartphone design goes, the likes of HTC Tilt Pro 2, Desire or even the HTC Desire HD were finely built phones. After the HTC One M9, what had been widely reported as a failure, the HTC 10 has been seen as a sort of a comeback by HTC in the game.

- The primary camera is a 12MP shooter with f/1.8 aperture lens with OIS in built. There is a laser autofocus as well as dual LED flash in here. The front facing camera is a 5MP snapper, with OIS. This makes the HTC 10 a rare phone, to sport OIS both on the rear and front facing cameras.

Lifetime free GPS (not Google Map but true GPS )n* . Last but not the least ... A battery life to die for ... nnOverall, This phone shall last you a very very long time . When you upgrade give it someone in your family and they shall also keep enjoying it ..
This phone is a value for money. nIt has 8MP camera, 720p HD video recording, plays most of video formats without converting. Pretty smooth video playback and youtube.nSupports HD games,SIS and java games and apps also supported.nDisplay is currently workd brightest, easy visibility under sunlight.nTouch screen is better than most droids.nWidgets, homescreen are very useful, maybe you'll get most work done in homescreen itself. Has 6 homescreens which also rotates to lanscape mode including menu.nGPS works just perfect, navigation free for lifetime.nBattery backup is good 1.5 days with email client in background, playing games for an 2.5 hours, accessing wifi for 2 hours(downloading), music for 3 hours, call for 1.5 hours.nIf you don't use all those then talktime is 10 to 15 hours on 2g and 5 hours on 3G or 3.5G.nYou can use it as 3G modem, it can give upto 14.4Mbps speed.nnIt has TV out, USB charging, USB OTG(for connecting pendrive or hard disk or other nokia phone-You have to get OTG cable).nnMusic player with cover flow looks fantastic.nnComes with preloaded games,Angry birds and Asphald urban 5 HD 3D.nYou'll also get Nokia Store gifts also.nnThey have given a small nfc sticker attached to manual, on turning nfc and just tapping it to that nfc sticker takes you to Store gifts page-Just for showing sample of nfc power.nnDon't wait Just get it.nI am completely satisfied.nSymbian belle rocks.
Symbian Belle is the latest iteration of an OS almost a decade old now. From being the most sought after OS to being probably the most criticized one, it has seen it all. Most mobile manufacturers had lost faith in it by the end of 2009, save the biggest of them all, Nokia. Indeed, only an OS backed by Nokia could have survived that long. However, since the coming of touchscreens, Symbian market shares have nose-dived. Only that it seems to retire on a high.nnSymbian Belle does remind us of the glorious past it had once had. The future remains bleak, but Nokia 701 endeavors restore the users' faith in the OS. On the outside, you have a tried and tested clad which was first seen and appreciated with Nokia C7. The generous use of metal and smooth curved edges, make 701 a beauty to withhold. Also, the 1ghz processor and 512 mb ram make Symbian Belle a pleasant sight. In fact, the specs are enough to enable 701 play HD games with ease.nnnPros:n1. The body is almost completely made of metal alloy which gives it excellent ergonomics. It can be handled with one or two hands with ease.n2. 1GHz ARM 11 CPU, Broadcom BCM2727 GPU and 512 MB RAM are enormous numbers for any Symbian phone. It handles Symbian Belle with utmost ease. There will not be much lag with many applications open.n3. 3.5" nHD screen is a LCD IPS ClearBlack Display unit. The resolution is only ok, but the screen has very high brightness, decent contrast, excellent sunlight legibility and very good viewing angles.n4. The battery at the back does have some pretty impressive numbers when it comes to standby, music playback time or talk time. In real life usage, it may last 2 days with ease on moderate usage.n5. Impressive audio quality.n6. 720p video recording may no longer attract eyes, but the quality is downright impressive.n7. NFC support.n8. 8gb of inbuilt storage, which can be expanded to 32gb more. Given that all Symbian apps can be installed on memory cards or elsewhere, it is a huge plus.nnCons:n1. Symbian admittedly has less number of apps. n2. Symbian browser is still some way off the competition.n3. Camera lacks auto-focus. Other than that, it does quite well though.nnCompetition:nSymbian Belle still has many fans who would insist that Symbian is the least resource-monger of all the present OS, gives excellent battery backup, and incorporates true multitasking. Most of such assertions are true. All HD games would fly on Nokia 701. Even playing angry birds on it and other android mobiles with similar hardware (the difference is overwhelming) would give you an idea how less demanding the OS is. However, android does beat Symbian Belle in terms of sheer number of apps, overall eye-candy, versatility and in having a faster (not necessarily smoother) UI. nSony Ericcson Xperia Ray and Xperia Neo V are very tempting android alternatives with 1 ghz processors, 512 mb ram and planned upgrades to ICS. A better camera or a bigger screen should tilt your preferences to the former or later.nNokia Lumia 710 has been grabbing headlines of late. It is definitely worth a look.
Have been using Nokia 701 since November 2011, and it's been an awesome ride. First, let's do away with some of the rumors,nnNo Apps: People who keep on harping about no applications on the Symbian OS have no idea of what is out there. Yes, the market is considerably smaller than Android or Apple's 3 million or something. But the point here is, the average user, or even the geekiest of geeks, does not and cannot use 3 million apps. In your lifetime with the phone you will barely cross 300. I'm a hardened tech junkie and I try out every application that has any relevance to my work at all and I can do anything I want with my phone and I'm sure there is nothing that a person wouldn't be able to do on Symbian that s/he does on Android. Games/news/entertainment, trust me, it's all there.nnNo HD Resolution: On a 3.5" screen, do you really think things pixelate? Even on 360x640, it's really hard trying to see pixelated characters or images, because they're almost indistinguishable. There's nothing wrong with having money and spending it on smartphones with HD resolution screens, but please be informed that even nHD resolution screens are pretty good. Talking about 701, with Clear Black Display and 1000 nits of brightness, it actually helps you see in the sun or wherever you might want to use your phone, unlike some others which are illegible under direct sunlight.nnSymbian is dying: There are 4 years of support left for Symbian and two more major software updates, Carla and Donna, so don't give up on Nokia just yet.nnNow, that those rumors are done away with, I'll come to the review,nnCamera: 8 MP, excellent in sunlight and well-lit conditions. In low-lit conditions, flash comes into use but the results are above average. Red-eye is a problem so be sure to have it on when you are using the camera in low-lit conditions. Video capture is awesome with no detectable shutter lag and quite smooth, even when you are panning or moving the camera from one subject to another. 720p capture is supported so while watching, it's hard to make out that you shot the video with a phone. Would've loved if it shared N8's AF camera module, but this one is pretty awesome too.nnBattery: The battery life of Nokia is always commendable as Symbian is generally optimized for the same. The maximum I've squeezed out of my 701 is 48 hours, with medium to light usage of games, calls, messaging etc. Otherwise, under high usage with constant GPRS, HD games and calling, the limit is 12 hours. IF you use Wi-fi, then that easily stretches to 18 hrs, with 5-6 hours of constant net usage, 1-2 hours of games, constant music through headphones and calling of 2-3 hours.nnGPS: I am a student living in Pune, and I am often at a loss for directions as I mainly reside in Viman Nagar and traverse to the city only once in a while. GPS has been a life-saver for me in some occasions, like I got off at Pune University, which was 2 stops ahead from where I had to get off for Fergusson College. Switched on Maps and it calculated the shortest rout in 10 seconds and I was set to go. Nokia Maps is available for Online/Offline usage, but from my experience, GPS locks on faster when you're using Online. Offline is fine inside the city, but takes a little bit time if you're outside the city, for eg in a train. I used this when I was going to Mumbai via train and wanted to find out how far I was from Dadar, it took 2 minutes more than what it usually takes but located my position outside Thane.nnNet Usage: This is really good if you have good data plan, if you don't then Opera Mini is advisable over Symbian Browser for obvious reasons. If you're using Wi-fi, the phone runs like lightning. I've even downloaded a movie from YouTube, and I was getting 260 kbps over Wi-fi. When tethered through USB cable, the speed is pretty good here, too. Am online through my mobile connection as I type and it's working like a charm.nnApps: Symbian can do anything you want it to, from Office editing to interacting with cloud based services to getting your e-mail instantly to reading from your favorite RSS feeds. nnThis was my review of the Nokia 701. Hope it was helpful to you. :)
I dont understand if Nokia is going to phase out Symbian... Just fooling customers... trust me guys.. i am a mobile tester and Symbian isnt anywhere near good as Android or IOS... WHY THE HELL THEY ARE STILL STUCK ON SYMBIANnNOT worth buying..... Symbian lacks apps and the new Belle OS STILL has long way to go if it wants to be like Android or IOS...nGo for Android and enjoy the freedom..

Current issues
1. Why adjudicators should be careful who they talk to
Claimants in an adjudication had phone calls, one of them a long call, with the adjudicator's office manager, who was also his wife. They discussed not only the claimants' earlier adjudication claims but also the final account claim that was the subject of the adjudication in question. The practice manager subsequently brief ly outlined these matters to the adjudicator but, despite an enquiry from the defendants' consultant as to what contact he had had with the claimants, he decided not to disclose the conversations. He also supported the claimants' application for summary judgment. Had the rules of natural justice been broken?
Yes, said the court. An adjudicator should not have unilateral conversations with the parties because of the obvious risks involved. A fair-minded observer would conclude that it was inappropriate for a decision-maker who knows about, and fails to disclose, a unilateral material conversation, subsequently to say that it was not disclosable because it had taken place with his practice manager/wife, not him personally. It gave rise to a real possibility that the adjudicator was biased, a possibility supported by the adjudicator's denial, in response to the enquiry from the defendants' consultant, of any contact at all with the claimants. And an adjudicator who was so concerned to see one side win that he supported their application for summary judgment, in trenchant terms, was at risk of having lost all objectivity, and again demonstrated a real possibility of bias.
Paice & A nor v MJ Harding (t/a MJ Harding Contractors) [2015] EWHC 661
2. Adjudication rules not ok
A subcontract contained three sets of terms under which, potentially, either party could request adjudication. The different adjudication provisions were likely to involve different adjudicators being nominated and, not only did the different rules involve different adjudicator nominating bodies (ANBs), but they contained real differences of procedure. In taking its claim to adjudication, however, the claimant contractor did not disclose its position other than by explaining in the Referral Notice how it had arrived at the choice of ANB and the adjudicator decided on the adjudication rules to be applied. The subcontractor challenged the adjudicator's jurisdiction, saying that identification of the terms under which he was appointed and under which he purported to act went to the heart of his jurisdiction.
The court said that the adjudicator has no power to determine what rules of adjudication apply if there is a dispute about those rules and the dispute makes a material difference as to the procedure for appointment, the procedure to be followed in the adjudication or the status of the decision. The substantive (as opposed to the formal) validity of a notice of adjudication depends on whether it can be shown that the correct rules have been applied. It does not depend on what is said in the notice or in the request for a nomination. And a notice of adjudication or purported nomination made under a contractual provision or legislative power which, on a correct analysis, does not apply is invalid. On the judge's analysis of the subcontract provisions not only had the adjudicator chosen the wrong governing adjudication rules but his appointment was made by the wrong body, which meant that he therefore had no jurisdiction to make his decision.
Ecov ision Systems Ltd v Vinci Construction UK Ltd (Rev 1) [2015] EWHC 587
3. So can insurers recover money paid out from the guilty party?
For years the courts have grappled with the problems of subrogation, in particular in interpreting insurance provisions in construction contracts. If an insurer pays out an innocent party, can it then stand in their shoes and sue the guilty party to recover what it has paid? What if the insurance is in joint names?
In Gard Marine & Energy Ltd v China National Chartering Co Ltd the Court of Appeal said that it is vital to construe the underlying contract between the parties to see if there is truly an intention that the insurance is for the joint benefit of the parties. It must also be remembered that one of the main reasons why parties take out insurance is that they need to be covered for the consequences of their own negligence. The prima facie position, where a contract requires a party to the underlying contract to insure, should be that the parties have agreed to look to the insurers for indemnification rather than to each other. That will be all the more so if it is agreed that the insurance is to be in joint names for the parties' joint interest or if there are other relevant circumstances.

7. New skills test for major government infrastructure project bidders
Bidders for government infrastructure projects valued at more than £50 million now have to provide evidence of their commitment to developing the skills of their current and future workforce. The new requirements (applicable from 1 April 2015) will be incorporated in contracts and monitored and may be used to inform future procurement decisions. Procurers (who include executive agencies and other public bodies) will also be encouraged to introduce similar requirements, where appropriate, in lower value projects.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Larryf, Jul 30, 2010.
Anybody else seen this? My phone was rooted but is no longer and I get this message.
I didn't say but I get this error when I click on "Check for system updates"
What happens when you touch "Setup"?
It brings up the Account Setup screen. The same screen that comes up when you press Menu -> Settings -> Accounts -> Add Account (where all the Email, Facebook, Google, etc. account types are listed). There is no option for a 'Motorola Account'.
I have a call in to Motorola tech support and will post what I hear back from them.
You do have an email address registered on your phone, right?
Yes, three email accounts in addition to my Google Gmail account.
Motorola tech support never called back so I'll be calling again on Monday to see what causes this error message.
There has to be someone at Motorola who can tell me what generates this pop-up box.
My brother-in-law gets a similar (but not the same) message when he checks for updates on his Droid (not the X).
I believe his message is more along the line of "invalid credentials" or "invalid logon", nothing about Motorola. He has never had root, he just uses his phone to make calls.
I fixed this issue by downloading the .604 update.zip file in recovery mode. Once I did that all was working well again.

Pamela Jarmon Wade is a writer, actor, and human resources professional. Pamela is the author of the children's book series The Adventures of Little Leroy. Her new books, Things That Go Bump In The Night (Little Leroy Series) and Single Parent Support 2nd Edition, were both published in 2016.
Pamela considers herself a renaissance soul which means that she prefers variety and combination over focusing all of her energy on only one thing. It has been speculated that this is why "late bloomers" in acting eventually become writers to explore their varied interests and passions. Pamela had a passion to act and write since her teen years, but was a late bloomer.
She followed the advice of practical peers who were not dreamers and pursued a college education and business career/employment. She earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas Southern University, a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Phoenix, and attended Champions School of Real Estate. In addition to working in city government, Pamela has been a part-time Realtor, Adjunct Business Instructor for a community college, and also prepared for the teaching profession via the Texas Teachers Alternative Certification Program and passed the state exam for certification in the area of Generalist Grades 4-8.
Pamela could not deny her passion for acting and writing. She began writing, taking acting classes, and building her body of work in both categories. She is very excited to have been cast in the new film, Blink, which will premier in Houston on July 29, 2017. She was also cast in the short film, Row, which won Best Drama at the Los Angeles Short Film Festival 2017; it can be viewed on YouTube and on Green Eyed Theater's Facebook page . She says, "It's in my blood honestly…my dad was a renaissance man. Over the years he was a Korean War Veteran (U.S. Army), truck driver, Certified Auto Mechanic, owned a lawn business, owned a hot shot delivery service, and was a Manager at Wessendorff & Nelms Company. There was nothing that my dad could not fix, do, build, and manage."
Her motto was adopted from a quote by Belva Davis, "Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can achieve it". She feels that her writing and acting is not about money…it is about her passion and creative expression. Pamela has been a participating author at the National Black Book Festival (Houston) for the past few years. In 2014 she was invited to host / MC the Welcome to Houston Reception that kicks off the annual NBBF. She returned as host / MC in 2015 and 2016.
In her free time she enjoys traveling the world, participating in Middle School Career Days, and volunteering in her community. Pamela's social media sites are at PamelaJarmonWade.com; Twitter @pamjarmonwade; and Author Page at amazon.com/author/pamelajarmonwade.

Unique initiative to free villages from open defecation in MP: cash reward
Bhopal: In a unique initiative, Harda district administration has offered 25 paise more for a litre of milk, if villages from which it is sourced, are free from open defecation.
"So far, 30 villages in Harda district have been freed from open defecation under the Swachch Bharat Abhiyan. A 25 paise per litre incentive is being given to milk produced in these villages," Harda Collector Rajnish Shrivastava said.
The scheme was launched with the help of Sahyog Swachchh Dugdh Private Limited, which sources milk from villages and pays 25 paise more per litre of milk to villagers if their village is declared free from open defecation," he said.
Swachchh Bharat Mission's Madhya Pradesh Programme Officer Hemwati Varman said that this initiative would enable community participation in sanitation drives and cattle would graze on clean grass unpolluted by human excreta.
Therefore, Sahyog diary management, at the insistence of the district administration, has agreed to provide a higher market value for milk produced by animals grazing clean grass, free of human excreta.
She said that the initiative would also inspire other villages to practise animal husbandry and milk production in a cleaner manner.
Dairy workers constantly monitor the sanitation situation in these villages, she said.

The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) was created through the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (the "Act"). SSBCI was funded with $1.5 billion to strengthen state programs that support financing of small businesses. Treasury awarded funding to 47 states, the District of Columbia, 5 U.S. Territories, and municipalities in 3 states, based on their proportion of unemployed persons as a percentage of the national total. Participating States funded new or existing state programs that fell into one of the following types: Capital Access Program (CAP), Collateral Support Program, Loan Guarantee Program, Loan Participation Program, or Venture Capital Program. General program parameters required Participating States to demonstrate a reasonable expectation of leveraging $10 of new small business financing for every $1 of SSBCI funding expended.
This report presents an analysis of SSBCI program activity from 2011 to 2015. The reports draws on quantitative data reported to Treasury by the states combined with more than 200 telephone interviews with state program managers, several expert practitioner working group reports, more than 50 lender and investor interviews, and more than 20 site visits conducted between 2012 to 2015. From this data and cumulative insights, this report offers an assessment of program results and lessons for public-supported financing programs.

Italy's anti-establishment 5-Star Movement suffered a resounding defeat in local elections, results released on Monday showed, losing ground to traditional parties less than a year before a national vote is due.
Italy's economy will grow by 1.3 percent this year, the International Monetary Fund said on Monday, raising a previous projection of 0.8 percent thanks to a broader euro zone recovery and supportive fiscal and monetary policy.

It will likely take one week for the European authorities to decide whether they can give assurance to healthy Italian banks that a potential capital injection in Banca Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca will be sufficient to unlock state aid, Il Sole 24 Ore said.

I'm in that seasonal predicament (I'm not talking about the dreaded snow); brave the high street in search of gifts or take the easy route and click onto the virtual one. But which is more dangerous for my little Visa?
Currently working in a luxury store, the ambience is sophisticated, with an air of elegance about it. However, the price point I'm looking for is sadly found in starkly-lit, fabric swamps that some people cleverly dub the epitome of fast (trash) fash. But when I hear of collaborations forming locally and across the pond (eg Lagerfeld and Target) combined with the annex of delightful brands popping up nearby (quite literally in Timex's case) my heart swells with desire and my appetite for purchasing on and off line reaches a deliriously manic point.
Using my plastic-fantastic, I'm in a purchasee paroxysm, ecommercee euphoria &I earn less than a doormouse from Disney'ss Robin Hood.
Splat. Pinch, punch, first of the month.
With too many events I'veclicked 'attending' on to comprehend. I think I'll let it slip my mind that I have internet banking. Tis the season to bury ones head in the sand.

As we continue our recovery and cleanup efforts, please visit the Emergency website for the latest information on openings and closings in Miami-Dade County.
Foster Parent Program
Sometimes an animal comes into this shelter who is not yet ready to be adopted, but can benefit from spending time in a private home.
In order to save the lives of these animals, the shelter keeps a list of qualified, competent individuals who fill the gap between ''intake'' and ''adoption ready.'' These wonderful volunteers save lives by caring for the animals in their own home, giving food, medicine, love, and socializing the animal until ready for adoption.
Becoming a foster parent means opening your home and your heart for just a short time. Fostering can be for as short as one week, to several weeks, depending on the animal.
For more information on fostering, please email the foster coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 305-418-7185.
Requirements for Fostering
- Must attend a Foster Orientation.
- Orientations are held every Saturday at 11:30 a.m., and every second and fourth Thursday of the month at 5 p.m.
- Orientation typically lasts an hour. New foster parents will begin to receive daily emails the following day of pets for foster care. Pickup of the pet will be scheduled with the Foster Coordinator.
- Complete the foster application.
- Must be able to bring the animal back to Animal Services every two weeks for vaccine boosters and de-worming, if necessary.
- Must be able to transport animals to outside adoption events as needed.
- Must be able to return the animal for out-of-state transports when required.
- Foster parent's owned pets residing in the home must be up to date on vaccines and sterilized.

Vagabon, Sam Evian
Songbyrd Music House
2477 18th St. NW
Washington, DC, 20009
Doors 7:30 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
It's very strange ("Or not strange at all! Hi!" says feminism) that most of the music we funnel into little girls' ears—even music written by former little girls—is about how women are petty, pretty garbage whose only valuable function is to hold perfectly still in men's boudoirs and wait for intercourse. "I wanted to make songs that were the opposite of 'Genie in A Bottle' or 'The Boy Is Mine,'" Sadie Dupuis says of Slugger, her new solo album under the name Sad13. "Songs that put affirmative consent at the heart of the subject matter and emphasize friendship among women and try to deescalate the toxic jealousy and ownership that are often centered in romantic pop songs." What!? Songs for women that actually champion women's autonomy, reflect women's desires, listen to women when they talk, and let women be funny and normal and cool, like women actually are?
After being born, which she totally nailed, Sadie grew up in New York City, toured internationally with a professional children's choir, then bounced around Massachusetts before eventually landing in Philadelphia "like every other feminist punk." She has an MFA in poetry from UMass Amherst, likes comics WITH AN ALL-CAPS PASSION, has written for Nylon and Spin, and is mega-beloved for her rock band Speedy Ortiz. Most recently, finding herself disillusioned with a lifetime of misogynist radio pop and yearning for the megalomaniacal autonomy of a solo project, Sadie/Sad13 churned out Slugger in a two-week fury.
Slugger is a pure solo effort. Sadie didn't just write and sing and play guitar, she recorded and produced the record herself in a subletted bedroom in Fishtown—a not insignificant act of feminist defiance. Despite millennia of evidence to the contrary, women in music are still relentlessly pigeonholed as, essentially, decorative. Sure, you can be a girl singer, or a girl tambourine player, or, once in a while (the height of novelty!), a girl drummer, but a girl producer? A girl engineer? Cool X-File, Mulder! Sadie steers Slugger with a serene sure-footedness, vaporizing that old lie better than any howling polemic ever could. The best revenge is to do your work.
Slugger's musical touchstones are vast and varied: contemporary pop à la Charli XCX, Santigold, Kelela, Grimes; folk songwriters Karen Dalton and Connie Converse; '90s trip-hop; riot grrrl (duh); plus Sad13's feminist indie and punk contemporaries like Tacocat, Waxahatchee, Mitski, and Bully. Slugger shouldn't feel like a revolution, but it does—in both content and execution. This is fun music about real shit.
Vagabon is the project of guitarist and singer Lætitia Tamko, currently accompanied by Elise Okusami on drums and Eva Lawitts on bass. Vagabon's debut EP, Persian Garden, was released late 2014 on Miscreant Records. According to DIY magazine, "Vagabon finds various ways to flood the senses. It'll either come in a harrowing lyric that sticks in the conscience, or it'll arrive from a soft drone that gradually envelops." so it must be true.
Sam Evian is a new music project from New York City, and the latest signing to Saddle Creek.
"Sleep Easy" is the first track to be shared from Premium, the debut Sam Evian LP, scheduled for release in 2016. The limpid ease of Premium was captured in just a handful of days at Figure 8 studio in Brooklyn, where Sam is a resident engineer and producer.
Watch the music video for "Sleep Easy". (Video cleared to post and share).
Glowing lead guitar, aching pedal steel, Wurlitzer keys and iconic 20th-century synths coalesce over a sublime, supportive rhythm section, guiding Sam's melodies through a semi-familiar mist: the post-'60s zeitgeist, a sun-baked cassette of Pet Sounds, the modern struggle for emotional involvement in the internet age.
Get "Sleep Easy": iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud
"Sleep Easy" is available on limited edition 7 inch vinyl backed with "You Have To Hydrate" – ready to ship in September and available for pre-order now at the Saddle Creek Online Store.
"Someone once told me that having one penny is 100% better than having no pennies. Making Premium was like picking a lucky penny up off the street. I wrote the songs ten days prior to my first show, though the ideas had been living under the surface for some years. Sometimes a deadline is all you need. The band came together effortlessly and we found ourselves in the studio on borrowed time, smiling a lot. The use of 'Premium' is funny to me. Bottled water is funny to me. We're all hustling the same thing and packaging it in different ways. Stay hydrated," says Sam.
'Oh, it was wonder of wonders. And then, a bird of like rarest spun heavenmetal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now, came the violin solo above all the other strings, and those strings were like a cage of silk round my bed. Then flute and oboe bored, like worms of platinum, into the thick thick toffee gold and silver. I was in such bliss, my brothers." -Anthony Burgess

Ban Viengkham School
Completed December 2015
5-classroom school - fully furnished, washrooms, clean water supply, school supplies, student uniforms, sporting supplies
Total Cost: $60, 000
Viengkham Lower Secondary School is about a 2½ hour drive northwest of Vientiane in Vientiane Province. The school housed 235 students and had 17 teachers on staff. It serves 6 villages. The student population increases by 25-30 students per year. Currently, there are 3 buildings, 2 of which are temporary bamboo and wood structures with dirt floors. The students need an appropriate learning facility and as such, require 5 new classrooms. They had a well but it was running dry and so the school would benefit from a new deep water supply.
This school was visited twice by the SKL team in 2012 and deemed to be a viable project. The villagers were able to make a significant contribution to the proposed school in the form of labour, lumber and sand and gravel. This is an important aspect of SKL's agreement with each community.
The new school building was officially opened on December 18. The SKL team was accompanied by a large number of donors from all over the world - Britain, USA, Singapore, Laos and 4 provinces in Canada. The District Department of Education representative and school officials expressed their appreciation and made a commitment to maintain the school in future years.
SKL Volunteers on Location: Ken and Sengkeo Phanlouvong, Francois Tremblay, Linda Lindsay, Jackie Markstrom, Christine Thammavongsa
School Design
Construction of the new school is underway!

The Judicial Confirmation Process: Perspectives from the Three Branches
|Federalism & Separation of Powers Practice Group
HON. SILBERMAN: Now remember, I'm speaking as a federal judge. I have, therefore, no view as to what it is legitimate for Senators to ask and no view as to the fight as between the two parties concerning suitable nominees. I do observe, however, in a neutral fashion, it seems to me, that under the existing regime, as I understand it, in the Senate Judiciary Committee in my time, it has always been true that nominees who were perceived on the extreme wing, either conservative activists on the conservative side or on the liberal side, were always in some trouble.

Happy Monday!
Mary Ellen here with a quick post for all your reluctant cooks (such as myself). While I love eating any sort of fresh, healthy and innovative meals, I have mostly stuck with raw foods because a) raw food rocks b) biting raw fruit or veggies is a lot like biting into a magical package of health and crunch and c) I am an anxious cook.
Determined to conquer my anxiety and delve into the enigmatic world of stoves and spatulas, I whipped up a quick and easy snack with an eggplant from the GroW Community Garden awhile back. Some people have told me that eggplants are hard to deal with, but I've always enjoyed eating spongy purple vegetables - and they have been growing so well in the garden!
I used a recipe from The Starving Students' Vegetarian Cookbook by Dede Hall for baked eggplant slices.
You will need:
- 1 eggplant peeled and cut into slices
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon grated onion
I'm not really sure what I'm doing in this photo...cleaning the grater? Such an anxious cook...
- preheat oven to 400 degrees
- mix butter, oil, lemon juice, and onion.
- put eggplant slices on aluminum covered cookie sheet
- spread mixture over both sides of the slices
- bake 6 minutes, flip over, bake 6 more (or until it is tender)
What's with the grater, Mary Ellen?
Success! Baked eggplant! The cookbook recommended to dip it in catsup or chili sauce. I put a dollop of hummus on it, then ate about five slices and rather forcefully fed the rest to my roommates. I promise, they liked it!
This was a quick and easy recipe, and a great first step for new cooks (if I do say so myself...)
Give it a try! And I highly recommend the cookbook by Hall!
