Good morning, it is 8 above on it's way to 1 above. Hmmm, one of those days when the high is colder than the low of the morning.ReplyDelete
another 8 letter verifi
I'm back from my trip, It is funny how many place say they have WI-FI and then you can't get connected to them unless you are in their lobby (and some don't have much of a lobby).ReplyDelete
I had a mixed bag of weather. I about blew away in Wyo. My wife said "I thought the wind blew in North Dakota (she is from Missouri) but The wind really does blow in Wyo".
So is it that the weather in Wyo blows or does it suck, HMMM.
Another 8 letter verifi
Readers should be aware that comments could not be left to start with this morning and a lot of comments were lfet on yesterdays blog comment space.ReplyDelete
And I got a 5 letter verifi
I DO NOT LIKE SNAKES. They are evil looking. When I was a kid I wasn't so much afraid of them, but I had a dream (nightmare) one night. I dreamed there were snakes coiled up between the road and the river bank. The only way to get to the river bank was to step in the center of each coiled up snake. So I went running down to the river, stepping in each coil. One wrapped tight around my leg. It felt so real, I woke up. It was the sheet. Since then I have been afraid of snakes.ReplyDelete

Super morning to allReplyDelete
I looked and thought it was nice, however I had a busy-busy day and, and....well thats my excuse for not commenting.
Todays pic is well, how do I say this, uh, well, ahem, yucky ugly. Now back for another look. There is something about your pictures, I keep returning for more.
Now I can comment in the right place.ReplyDelete
Snakes! What kind of a nut would have a live snake in his mouth?
We have a very large black snake here , about eight feet long. We call him Saladin. I let him strictly alone. Hopefully he helps keep the copperheads at bay.
I have also seen my rather large cat kill small copperheads.
Wow~ Snake Dance?!ReplyDelete
It's interesting.
Thanks for nice picture.

I live East of you, thanks for the dust!ReplyDelete
Not many snakes in Montreal, so I don't have any stories. I find the pictures a bit sad, but very interesting.ReplyDelete
It will be raining here later today, after a week of artic cold. So many contrasts.
I like my word verifi today -
DADD, ya gotta start staying at higher class joints when ya travel. Those places where they take cash and don't require any idea are OK if you are on the lam, but if you stay in one along the freeway that has a big lit up sign out front, you should get better internet access. Course, there aren't many freeways in Wyoming, and some of my worst motel experiences have been in Wyoming, but the Cowboy Cafe, in DuBois has the best breakfast anywhere.ReplyDelete
PJM, a lot of folks don't like snakes, period. I am not a great admirer of them myself, and didn't have much to say about them, so no posts. Also, I leave comments on a couple of other blogger blogs, and they don't have the verify word. If you got rid of it, it would make DADD happy.
Six letters this time, and redable. Not too bad, I should be able to get it the first try
Only 5 letters. Couldn't waste it!!ReplyDelete
Is this padding the count? Only PJM knows for sure.
Actually The Motel was only a block off the Interstate, but I would never stay there again. We couldn't be to fussy because we were in Glendive Mt. and that is real close to the oil boom in North Dakota. It was storming. so getting a room is hard enough, so you don't get to fussyReplyDelete
Only 6 this time

I meant to comment on last Saturday's post that I've seen an account of a researcher feeding a mouse to a cobra to keep his (valuable) cobra alive. Result: mouse bites cobra, scurries off to one side of the cage and cleans his whiskers. Cobra dies within a few hours of infection from the bite. Wanted to provide source of this story, could not locate it in time available, hence did not comment. Will come back to this if I find the source in a week or so. Sorry.ReplyDelete
Sorry I didn't comment about the snakes and somehow I missed the pic of Handsome Jack. He is gorgeous, Lovie won't be able to resist him when the time is right.ReplyDelete
I happen to like snakes but of course we don't have any poisonous ones here. I think mostly they like to be left alone. To kill one just because it's a snake and it's there is not a good reason at all. Of course if it's threatening, that's different.
I feel sorry for the snake!ReplyDelete
we all read . . . but sometimes we don't all comment. Figure out how to count readers, not commenters. I've got sad, sorry stuff going on in my life; sometimes I am wordless; tongue tied.ReplyDelete

HTC One Car Kit brings its sleek design and functionality to the road: Review
Summary: T-Mobile USA is giving away the HTC Car Kit with an HTC One purchase, and after spending a couple weeks with it, I find it to be an essential accessory. It works well and is priced right, at just $60.
6 of 17Image

Cable attached
The USB to auto adapter piece is short, so it sits fairly flush with the plug when inserted. You place the USB end into the charger and will see an indicator light when powered on.
(Image: Matthew Miller/ZDNet)
HTC One in the Car Kit
A nice thing about this Car Kit is that you can easily use it in multiple vehicles by removing the suction cup and unplugging the charger. This is important for me, since I travel for business about once a month and use my phone's GPS system for navigation in rental cars.
(Image: Matthew Miller/ZDNet)
When you get in your vehicle and insert your HTC One, simply slide it from left to right until it gets to the end; you will see the HTC One power on and launch the HTC Car application (screenshots shown later in this gallery). Both speakers are still fully uncovered, so that great thing in my vehicle without a Bluetooth in-car system is that I can still clearly hear navigation commands and people I am talking with on the phone. I refuse to talk or text while driving, unless I have something like this setup to keep my hands free.

When you lay your head on your pillow at night, do you drift off right to sleep? If not, you are definitely not alone. Many people find it difficult to fall asleep quickly and get enough hours of sleep when they finally manage to doze off.
Drink Chamomile Tea at Bedtime
The flowers of the Chamomile plant have been used medicinally for thousands of years to treat many different types of ailments. Chamomile will help calm your nerves and prepare you for sleep. Beginning your nightly bedtime ritual with a cup of Chamomile tea is a good way to promote restful sleep.
Adjust the Temperature in Your Bedroom
Do you sleep better when your bedroom is nice and cool, or do you prefer a warmer temperature? Your natural body temperature drops when you sleep. Have you ever woken up covered in sweat? Or conversely, have you ever woken up because you felt chilly? If you are cold-natured, put on some fluffy socks to get comfortable for bedtime.
Just make sure that the temperature in your bedroom is set at a level that is ideal for you.
Keep It Dark
Is light shining through your bedroom window that might be disrupting your sleep? Your body is naturally inclined to wake up when light is present. Try hanging heavy curtains on your window, which will help keep your sleeping area nice and dark. This will also help to block out traffic noise, which could also be disturbing you.
Another option is to wear a sleep mask over your eyes to block out all traces of light. If outside noise is a problem, try wearing earplugs, which can be purchased at drug and discount stores.
Stop the Snore
Is your partner's snoring keeping you awake? See if you can talk the snorer in your life into trying some Breathe Right nasal strips. This product helps to open nasal passages for proper nighttime breathing. Breathe Right nasal strips can also be purchased at your local drugstore.
Check Your Mattress
Is your mattress old and worn out? Having a comfortable mattress is important, since we spend about 1/3 of our lives sleeping. If your mattress is uncomfortable, you may suffer from discomfort not only in your sleep, but in your waking life as well. Mattresses and pillows need to be replaced once the support in them has gone away. There are many different types of mattresses to satisfy many different people's needs. It is always best to purchase a mattress from a retailer where you can try it out for yourself first, to make sure that it is exactly as you like it.
Bed is for Sleeping
The way that you use your bedroom can have a profound effect on your ability to get a good night's sleep. If you are living with roommates, you may find that you use your bedroom as a place to entertain guests, work or study. If this is the case, you may find that it is harder to associate your bedroom with sleeping. Train your body to associate your bed with sleep by getting into bed only when you are very tired and on the verge of falling asleep.
Keep the Peace
At bedtime, try to avoid watching programs that contain disturbing or violent images. There is a good reason that your mother wouldn't let you watch scary movies before bedtime. Words that we hear and images that we see often run circles through our minds when we are trying to relax. Watching a movie before bedtime that has a disturbing theme may not be the best way to relax the mind.
Play Soothing Music
Even if you enjoy music during the day that is intense or upbeat, you may want to avoid listening to this type of music before bedtime. Have you ever listened to the artist, Enya? I highly suggest listening to an Enya CD at bedtime. Her music has a peaceful, ethereal quality to it that will surely help you to drift off to dreamland more easily.
Try Meditation
Meditation is a means of creating silence in your conscious mind. Many people who have trouble sleeping find that when they lay their head on their pillow, thoughts begin to race through their minds which keeps them awake. This inner dialogue is not useful at bedtime. Try closing your eyes and focusing only on your breathing. Bring your awareness into your body and observe any part of you that may feel tension or discomfort. As you breathe in, imagine that you are sending this cleansing breath to the area of your body that needs attention. Even if you are completely unable to fall asleep, if you meditate your body is getting a different kind of rest which will help it rejuvenate itself.
Write It Down
Many times you may be unable to fall asleep because you are experiencing anxiety about something in your life. Feelings of guilt or dwelling on unresolved issues in your life can often make it hard to fall asleep. A great way to get these thoughts out of your mind and body is to write them down. Keep a daily journal. Write down all of your thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams, and enjoy the release that this activity will give you. Allow your mind to become totally empty, and experience the inner peace that comes with it. Be thankful for the present moment and remember that tomorrow is a new day and a chance to begin again.

Rush Losing It Lyrics
Last updated: 06/12/2013 07:05:25 PM
The dancer slows her frantic pace
In pain and desperation,
Her aching limbs and downcast face
Aglow with perspiration
Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire,
With just the briefest pause
The flooding through her memory,
The echoes of old applause.
She limps across the floor
And closes her bedroom door...
The writer stares with glassy eyes
Defies the empty page
His beard is white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage.
Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision,
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision
And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more...
Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee...
Thanks to cfb for submitting Losing It Lyrics.
Hemingway | Reviewer: RushReader | 6/12/13
The references to Hemingway are numerous. "Where the sun will rise no more" alludes to his 1926 novel, "The Sun Also Rises" the other literary reference is "The bell tolls for thee" a reference to his great work "For Whom the Bell Tolls" published din 1940. Starting in 1959-1960 Hemingway was unable to clearly organize his writing and resorted to receiving help from A.E Hotchner. He was also reported to be suffering from failing eyesight: "For you the blind who once could see..." Hemingway committed suicide in 1961.
Focus | Reviewer: S. Lazz | 8/14/11
What would be sadder..
to watch how my creative skills develop, reach their full potential, deliver and then decay.
or never even try anything and pass the time just dreaming about it??
clearly the first case. Sadder but more deserving of a salute when it all ends.
I agree with Peart, and kudos to all tree for the music arrengement
Losing it | Reviewer: Dooge | 7/26/11
To my mind this is one of, if not the best, Rush songs.
I've always liked it . The first time I heard Signals it stood out.
The music sits so well with the lyrics it feels like both have come from the same person.
Neil always writes deep thought provoking words, but something about this goes much further, at it's root is the subject of suicide and how many artists take that step because with age the ability to create is slowly taken away. For many artists, musicians,painters, sculptors, whatever, their love for what they do must be stronger then the love they have for those around them.
When life takes away their ability to perform what they love the world/life must become a very lonely and desolate place.
I once knew a brilliant artist, Fredrick Sands, who in his early 80's because of failing eye site could no longer paint. He left behind a brilliant legacy of work. But also a family and friends.
To me this song is about the many people, successful or not, like Mr Sands.
Is this a review? Absolutely not. It's just my thoughts on a brilliant song by an amazing group of musicians/ artists.
Aussiejohn | Reviewer: John | 7/24/11
This particular song struck a chord with me years ago. A rush fan from ,78.. I recall the song "Losing it" popping in to my brain as my friend and I spoke of our former glories, walking of the sports field.. Stiff as wire!!! It lives with me today, as much older, I hear those around me basking in former glory. Nothing's changed, a great song, by a much under-rated band
A different view | Reviewer: Maniac | 5/12/11
To me the song is a salute to those who lived to move the world. And, despite the death of their craft (or abilities), it is still sadder for those who stood by and merely watched (the critics?) The bell tolls for thee line seems to be a reference to John Donne's poem "No man is an island" Historically, the bell tolls to signify a death in the community...so when one asked "for whom the bell tolls?" the response was that "the bell tolls for thee." The general interpretation is that, when a person or thing dies, it takes a part of all of us with it. Again, a salute to those who lived to move the world.
Losing It Review | Reviewer: Jamie Douglas | 2/1/11
This particular song from a very underated record "signals" is clearly one of my 5 favorites from the trio. It makes me realize how wonderful life really can be without even understanding Pearts perspective as he wrote it. Geddy and Alex also just play the role in this piece. They wrote a great melody to mesh beautifully with Neils adamant beliefs in that new decade we now refer to as "the eighties".
Commercially this record was a huge disappointment in comparison to their last one a year ago, that being " Moving Pictures ". However, this brilliant and somewhat touching song reflects the way society in general can forget the old and in with the new, so to speak, even in a split microsecond...I truly believe that when we leave our loved ones to go on to pursue another world, "Losing It" will be forever in our memories as RUSHFANS. Peace man...RUSH rule..April 19th in Hammertown Viktor K Copps Coliseum folks..see u there with cowbells on LOL
Jamie Douglas aka RUSHFAN8
A sad reflection | Reviewer: Anders Gjersöe | 4/7/10
For some reason, Rush stuck with me. And in high-school I too heard this song for the first time. Now, 25 years later, the lyrics are painfully relevant. Also the song " Time stand still" reflects the the inevitable passing of time and the loss of people, precious moments and the heady enthusiasm of youth.
In the same vein, the song "The pass" also addresses the rude awakening from the insolent confidence of a young man.
"HOW MANY "CHANCES" ...REMAIN FOR US?" | Reviewer: Paul | 1/1/10
It may seem strange(to some)that I can actually equate this song to a "fragmented relationship" that appears to be at it's end, but I do. I am...the "Writer". The "Dancer" is a lady I befriended, but hurt. I won't expound any further. I just...relate to it, profoundly!
This last verse TOTALLY resonates with me!
Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee...
Lyrically, "Rush" is one of the best groups-ever! It just seems-at the least-they are "current". At their best-they are "light years ahead" of most of the rest of us.
I Get it Now | Reviewer: Scott H. | 10/28/09
I first heard this song when I was still in high school. I didn't fully understand it then, but now as I grow older myself I feel this song with a depth I never expected. I often find myself quoting the "writer" section to myself as I go about many of my daily tasks. I can truly identify.
Losing it in Review | Reviewer: Randy Gully | 7/28/09
I must admit seeing Rush for over 20 Concerts + ,,this song is one of those you just "Dream about" and Vision "What if" ...
I have been involved with Rush's Music since 1977 and have seen the Signals concert and the Hard Rockers they have always been ,it just goes to show there divercity in Lyrics and music ..When my time comes as it will be for many ...** this will be the only Rush song that will be in the collage to grace my pier's and give presence to the man who once was ...
Yes i admit ...at 48 I listen , work, and play with the music of Rush surounding me and when ever I hear this one in particular I always Feel the Pain in the song ...Neil is no master as he admits ... He is actually a F*$&^ Genius ... you hear a Rush song and Dam it if it doesn't come up in Future view in the news...
Yes one of my favourites out of 20 + albums and one I pray one day they do ....Live ..
Clarification for Mr. Daehsinep | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/21/08
TheN foolding through my memory is perhaps the best clarification. Clearly the writer was reaching and striving for more, as in climbing the "writer stairs"........Or perhaps, it is best to read the liner notes from the published album. :)
One of their best | Reviewer: Helvete | 3/19/08
Too bad they'll never play it live. This song came this close to having me in tears. Ernest Hemingway, one of the saddest historical figures. Yet made great stories. I forever salute him, and of course, Rush. May both live on forever.
Clarification for Mr. Andrino | Reviewer: Jack Daehsinep | 8/22/07
From a literary and grammatical standpoint you are quite correct; however, having said that you must take Mr. Peart's poetic view into context. The word "writer" used in this sense is actually an adjective, and the word "stare" is used in the noun sense (ie; thousand yard "stare"). I hope that this helped to clarify things.
Almost Perfect | Reviewer: Ed Andrino | 4/5/07
You have written here
The writer stare with glassy eyes
the word stare should be stares The writer stares with glassy eyes.
Poor writer. Other than that it's flawless. Thanks This bell tolls for thee. :)

County Executive Leopold Poised to Eliminate More Than 100 Positions to Save $5.7 Million Annually
Vacant positions have been frozen since October
Annapolis (March 26, 2009) - County Executive John R. Leopold today announced that he is poised to eliminate more than 100 vacant positions in his upcoming budget proposal to save almost $6 million each year.
"This Administration has taken steps to cut spending in anticipation of the downturned economy," County Executive Leopold said. "Now that our fiscal situation has worsened, we hope to avoid layoffs and dramatic cuts to service. Hopefully, these savings derived from hard choices early on will pay dividends."
Since the third hiring freeze began in October 2008, County Executive Leopold has kept funded positions on the books without replacing workers who have left County Government. Eliminating more than 100 of those vacant positions will save an estimated $5,667,475 each year.
The budget is presented to the County Council on May 1.

"The cards were really nice! Picture was a bit blurry, but it may have just been the picture I selected wasn't great quality to begin with. Delivery was quick (they arrived earlier than what was estimated). Very happy with this purchase and have already reordered."
"I was amazed with the large variety of choices available for Christmas cards--it was challenging but fun to make my decision. I appreciated how I could import my photo right away and easily I could see how it would look on my many favorite options. The hardest part of designing and ordering was waiting for the order to arrive--I COULDN'T WAIT! Yet my order arrived promptly and I am absolutely thrilled! The image is sharp, the paper of high quality, and the overall design perfect! I can't wait to start sending the cards out for Christmas. I was so pleased with my order that I recently ordered some stationery!"
"This card is fantastic!!! If you're looking for something new and different and would like your card to stand out from all the others on the mantle then this is the card for you. The quality is outstanding and is an all around classy looking card!"
"I was very amazed when I recieved my cards. The paper quality is excellent, the design very beautiful, and the shipping exceptionally fast! Overall rating is 5 stars! Highly recommended."
"This card is absolutely beautiful. I wanted a classic elegant Christmas card yet at the same time I wanted the design to be simplistic. This design achieved those qualities. The foil lettering is gorgeous and the card stock is perfect. In addition, the cards arrived sooner than expected!"

New Sinai Circle in La Jolla Village brings ancient wisdom to contemporary life
By Marti Gacioch
La Jolla's new Sinai Circle learning center hopes to shine a contemporary light on the ancient writings of the Torah and the soul of
through a series of classes and lectures designed for modern living. The center, located at the Chabad of La Jolla, 909 Prospect St., No. 210, opened in late September, but only recently celebrated its official grand opening.
According to Rabbi Baruch Ezagui, the center's goal is to offer an accessible environment where people from all denominations and backgrounds can learn how the authentic writings of the "Holy Books," can be applied in their daily lives. The staff also includes Debbie Ford (creator of the Shadow Process Workshop and founder of The Ford Institute, a personal and professional training organization) and Audi Gozlan (a certified yoga instructor who teaches and leads Kabbalah Yoga workshops around the world).
"Sinai Circle's dream is to create a name that's synonymous with inspiration, with meaning, and a welcome environment where people can come and leave with something substantial that belongs to them so they don't feel like they're dependent on an institution, or a center, or a guru or a lifestyle," Rabbi Ezagui explained.
The idea to create such a learning center came to the Rabbi after a member of La Jolla's Jewish community shared his epiphany that the Torah held a personal place in his life. "That's when I began to think that maybe the Torah wasn't as accessible as I thought it was already, so our objective is to create an environment where we break the myth that the secrets of life are esoteric and beyond reach," he said. "Anyone can sit in our classes and realize that the Torah wasn't just talking to Moses; it was talking to them."
To realize the dream, Sinai Circle is offering lectures, classes and a series of three, six-week courses throughout the coming year that will address contemporary issues. Classes will be held every Monday, and each course will focus on a different area of life. Their first six-week course, "Fascinating Facts: Exploring the Myths and Mysteries of Judaism," is now in progress.
"We're taking a look at the entire structure of the religion of Torah and Biblical wisdom, so that in six weeks people can gain an understanding of what is a myth, and what is a fact, and what is the background of the Torah and what it means on a contemporary level," Ezagui said.
The second six-week course, "Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics," will begin in January. "It will address anything and everything finance-related," Ezagui said. "The Torah can give clarity to anything business-related that might be questionable in a moral or ethical setting."
The final six-week course, "The Art of Marriage," will be offered in May. "This series will address the concept of love, and we're going to bring forth all the great sources of Torah in its wisdom to examine all the areas of love — respect, intimacy, communication and marriage," Ezagui said. "And not only a marriage between husband and wife, but the concept of love in general; the Torah will give a person a love experience like no other love they've experienced before in their lives."

69 percent of swine flu hospitalizations were in Ohio
Updated On: Sep 28 2012 02:48:51 PM EDT
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than two-thirds of the people in the U.S. hospitalized after contracting a flu virus spread by swine at county fairs were from Ohio.
The report released Thursday showed that 11 of 16 people hospitalized in the U.S. for H3N2v this summer were Ohioans. That's 69 percent.
The Dayton Daily News reports that 107 cases of the new flu were reported from July 28 through Sept. 25. Dr. Celia Quinn, author of the CDC report, said most cases were fairly mild.
Ohio also had the first and only death in the U.S. associated with the new strain of swine flu, a 61-year-old woman from central Ohio's Madison County.
The woman, whose name was not released, died in August following an illness she contracted after having contact with hogs at the Ross County Fair. The woman had underlying medical conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
The 10 other Ohioans hospitalized with the strain all were children between the ages of 1 and 12. Most of them visited county fairs in late July or early August and were hospitalized for a couple days before being released.
Nationally, 306 cases of the strain have been reported. Indiana had the most cases, with 138 human infections reported.
So far, H3N2v has mostly been associated with swine exhibits at county fairs.
Health officials recommend that members of the public, especially the young and old, avoid contact with swine and be vigilant about washing their hands and avoiding eating or drinking around pigs.

Young men stealing cell phones at downtown restaurants, police say
SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE June 14, 2012 11:26AM
Police are searching for cell-phone theives who have targeted downtown restaurants.
Two to four young black men between the ages of 16 to 21 approached people seated at restaurant tables downtown, showed them a flyer and asked for a donation, according to a community alert issued by Area Central detectives.
As the young men distracted the victim, one of them placed a paper over the person's cell phone, which was lying on the table, the alert said, adding that the men then fled the restaurant.
The most recent theft took place June 8 about 1:25 p.m. in the 600 block of North State Street, the alert said. The young men are also believed to be behind two thefts that took place June 6 between 2:45 p.m. and 2:50 p.m. in the 0 to 100 block of West Adams Street and the 100 block of West Adams Street.
Anyone with information about the thefts can contact Area Central detectives at (312) 747-8382.

The boyfriend of New Berlin Mayor Jack Chiovatero's daughter has been charged with stealing property from the mayor's home.
According to the criminal complaint filed Monday by the Waukesha County District Attorney's Office, the boyfriend, Cory Naber, 21, faces a felony charge in connection with the theft of a 9mm pistol from the mayor's bedstand.
He also has been charged with misdemeanor theft of other undisclosed property. But the complaint notes that the defendant admitted stealing $190 cash, an iPod, a violin, a bass guitar and jewelry from the home since May.
Naber told police that he traded the iPod for two oxycodone pills. He denies taking the gun, however.
Naber also is charged with theft of a .357 Magnum revolver from his father's home in New Berlin.
The complaint says that Naber confessed to stealing the gun and trading it to a drug dealer in Milwaukee for 1.5 grams of heroin. Gun theft is considered a felony.

|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Free-to-view (FTV) is a term used for free of charge and encrypted audio and/or video contents transmission that do not require any form of continual subscription. It differs from free-to-air (FTA) where content is not encrypted.
In the United Kingdom, e.g., it is used for certain television channels on the Sky satellite platform which require a working VideoGuard receiver and viewing card to decrypt the signals.
Free-to-view vs. free-to-air[edit]
The free-to-view system contrasts with free-to-air (FTA), in which signals are sent unencrypted and are available for all to see with any DVB-S/S2 decoder. Over 100 channels are currently available free-to-air, while only a few channels are free-to-view.[clarification needed - To where does this refer? (UK/Ireland?)]
Commercial restrictions and targeting[edit]
The free-to-view system allows for restricting access based on location of the viewer. For example, commercial stations such as Channel 5 are made available to viewers in the United Kingdom, but are restricted in Ireland and northern France, even though these areas are covered by the same satellite footprint, Astra 2D. Since BSkyB requires all its viewers to supply their addresses when registering, the broadcaster can select which channels that viewer can decrypt.
Using the same idea at a more parochial level, free-to-view encryption cards also allow for selecting the correct regional TV output based on the viewer's address. For example, by using the postcode given when registering the viewing card, a viewer based in Birmingham will have his/her configuration set to receive BBC One West Midlands and ITV Central West on channel numbers 101 and 103 respectively. All regional variations are available, however, and the BBC regions are allocated channel numbers in the 900 series. ITV regions can be tuned in by using the "other channels" function.
Setanta Ireland use Free-To-View for people living in Ireland. At times Setanta provides its programming on a "free" basis but due to rights restrictions they can not unencrypt the signal, instead their selected programmes are sent in the clear to Sky's Irish subscribers during some programmes and events. Setanta use this for programmes produced with the help of the Sound and Vision Fund from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and some major events such as the Paralympics 2012.
Free-to-view channels can be viewed with a Sky viewing card, be it one provided by the Freesat from Sky scheme or an inactive former Sky card. All active Sky cards get the channels that are part of their subscription package. A Sky decoder box is required due to the lack of VideoGuard conditional-access modules. The free-to-view system offered by BSkyB was initially designed to offer the UK's 5 terrestrial broadcasters to viewers who did not want a subscription package.
Several standard definition satellite channels are currently only available free-to-view
- 4Music
- London Live (London only)
- Motors TV
- Sony Entertainment Television
- Sony Entertainment Television +1
- Sony Movie Channel
- Sony Movie Channel +1
- STV Glasgow (Glasgow only)
Former channels[edit]
- The BBC's eight digital channels - including BBC One and BBC Two, were encrypted under the scheme from their launch on digital satellite until 14 July 2003, when they became free-to-air.
- Shortly after this, ITV stated its intentions to go free-to-air eventually, and launched their newest channel, ITV3, in the clear on 1 November 2004.
- This was followed up by ITV moving its Men & Motors channel to FTA in July 2005.
- This gradual conversion was completed on 1 November 2005, with ITV1 and ITV2 going FTA. ITV's latest channel, ITV4, was launched at the same time, also as a free-to-air service. All the BBC and ITV channels therefore can be viewed by any suitable receiver, and do not need any registration with BSkyB.
- However as of June 2008 some ITV regions (including amongst others ITV TT South) were encrypted again due to one of their narrow beam transponder agreements ending.
- In April 2011 High definition Channel 4 HD moved from being a free-to-view channel to a free-to-air channel (when moving to a transponder on Eurobird 12607 V 27.5 3/4).
- On 1 December 2011, 5USA, 5USA +1, 5* and 5* +1 became free-to-air after moving to Astra 1N.
- On 6 June 2012, Pick TV and Pick TV +1 became free-to-air.
- During October 2012, the final free-to-view regions of ITV1, ITV1 +1 and ITV1 HD became free-to-air.
- On 25 March 2013, Viva went free-to-air.
- On 28 October 2013, Channel 5 HD became a subscription channel on the Sky digital satellite platform and is no longer a free-to-view channel.
Free-to-view schemes outside the UK[edit]
Outside the UK, other public-service broadcasters, for example those of Switzerland, Austria (ORF) and the Netherlands (NPO via CanalDigitaal) run a similar scheme using different encryption methods.
In Australia, the Viewer Access Satellite Television service is available for those who can not receive a satisfactory terrestrial signal. A one-off purchase of an Irdeto access card and certified set-top box is required.
In Russia, Tricolor TV is a popular satellite TV service partly operating within the free-to-view model.

On the Road: Adventures in Public Digital Humanities (Kim Martin on the DH Maker bus at the University of Lethbridge)Posted: September 26, 2014 Filed under: Announcements, miscellaneous | Tags: dh maker bus, digital humanities, making 1 Comment »
In 2013, Kim and two friends, Ryan Hunt and Beth Compton, purchased a 1991 school bus, which they have since converted into Ontario's first mobile makerspace: the DH MakerBus (Makerbus.ca).
What started as a passion project quickly became an area of academic interest, and Kim now works to showcase the public benefits of humanities education in London and beyond. She is a co-lead on the Humanities Matters Bus Tour and is currently implementing a local chapter of 4Humanities in London, Ontario.
This paper discusses her experiences in establishing this project.

Blogging in MoodlePosted: September 4, 2014 Filed under: Moodle, Teaching | Tags: blogging, digital pedagogy, Moodle, tutorial Leave a comment »
In many of my classes, I ask students to blog within Moodle. Blogs within Moodle are visible to the whole community. It is also possible, using an RSS feed, to broadcast your blog outside Moodle.
There are two parts to using blogs in Moodle: composing blogs and reading the entries of others.
Managing class webpages and mailing lists at the University of LethbridgePosted: August 26, 2014 Filed under: Computers, Methodology | Tags: Computers, digital pedagogy, tools, Tutorials, university of lethbridge Leave a comment »
For years, every class at the University of Lethbridge has been given webspace and a mailing list. While the mailing list is well-known to instructors (it is the list "firstname.lastname@example.com" that you use to make announcements to the class as a whole), the webspace is far less well known. This document (mostly a reminder to myself) shows you how you can use online tools to manage this.
English 4600b/5600b: Beowulf (Fall 2014)Posted: August 23, 2014 Filed under: Current-Interest, fall-2014 Leave a comment »
About this course
English 4600b/5600b is a reading course in Old English focussing on Beowulf. A necessary prerequisite is previous experience reading Old English, the language of Anglo-Saxon England (c. 450-1200 CE).
Important note: If you are not an English major, you may find the course is currently blocked for enrolment. This is a temporary issue: there is plenty of space in the class if you wish to take it. I can guarantee there will be space for you.
English 4400n/5500n: Digital Humanities (Fall 2014)Posted: August 23, 2014 Filed under: Current-Interest, fall-2014 Leave a comment »
About the course
English 4400n: Digital Humanities is a senior seminar on the digital revolution and the effect it is having on the way we communicate, research, and teach. Most of the course will be concerned with the mechanisms and effects of what we might describe as the second Internet revolution—the growth of cloud-based, often socially-network-oriented, services, applications, and repositories that are radically changing economic, social, and research culture and practices.
By the end of the course, students should have
- A grounded historical knowledge of the history of personal and networked computing as it applies to the humanities.
- Hands on experience with basic technological practices in the field
- Extensive experience reviewing existing Digital Humanities projects
- An understanding of what the Digital Humanities is and where it may and may not be helpful in the pursuit of their other research interests. Read the rest of this entry »
English 1900e: Introduction to English Language and Literature (Fall 2014)Posted: August 23, 2014 Filed under: Current-Interest, fall-2014 Leave a comment »
About this course
English 1900 is the introductory course in our department. It is a prerequisite for all higher level courses.
The purpose of English 1900 is to introduce students to the study of literature and to provide opportunity to practice analytical reading, thinking, and writing about texts.
This section of English 1900 will focus particularly on discovery and communication: uncovering our (often unrealised) critical responses to texts and developing these into compelling and interesting arguments.

Two tips that will improve the lives of all students and researchers in the Humanities and Social SciencesPosted: August 16, 2014 Filed under: Computers, Methodology | Tags: citation managers, Computers, formatting, markup, Tips, Tutorials, wordprocessing Leave a comment »
A recent question on Linked-in asked how important the formatting guides for journals are in preparing submissions.
Although this question was about submitting to journals, its context is relevant to all students and researchers in the Social Sciences and Humanities (although the problem also exists in the sciences, the solutions there are in some cases different). Humanities and Social Science study in University is largely about the collection of bibliography and the presentation of findings in written form. And that invariably involves questions of formatting: different disciplines and even different journals (or for students, instructors) within a discipline can require work to be submitted in quite different styles.
Dangerous bug in MoodlePosted: April 19, 2014 Filed under: Computers, Moodle | Tags: bugs, essay question, hacks, Moodle, solutions Leave a comment »
Just discovered a dangerous bug in the Moodle essay question template.
About the essay question edit screen
When you write an essay question in Moodle, there are a couple of different boxes on the form:
The question goes in the top. Then you have the "General response" (something the student usually can see when the results are released). Then the "Response Template," which can be used for including text you want to appear in the answer box as soon as the question loads for the student (e.g. text like "Type your essay here"). And finally a grader box, where you can include tips for the grader (this shows up on the grading screen right above the student's answer. Read the rest of this entry »
